In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough description of one or more embodiments. However, the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to effectively describe these embodiments. The term "for example" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment described herein as "for example" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

First, in order to explain the electrical characteristics of the piezoelectric module 100 in detail, please refer to fig. 1 and 2 together, in which fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the piezoelectric module 100 in a first state 101 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the piezoelectric module 100 in a second state 201 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In the structure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the piezoelectric module 100 is electrically connected to the current meter 110. It should be understood that the current meter 110 shown in fig. 1 and 2 is only for convenience of describing the current generated by the piezoelectric module 100, and in practice, the wireless charging pad 300 (shown in fig. 3 and 4) of the present disclosure may not need to include the current meter 110.

In the measurement process of the current meter 110, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first state 101 may be a compressed state, the second state 201 may be an extended state, the piezoelectric module 100 generates currents in different directions during the compression and extension, and the pointer of the current meter 110 deflects to different directions accordingly. Thus, by applying pressure and releasing the piezoelectric module 100, the piezoelectric module 100 can generate an alternating current charge.

In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the piezoelectric module 100 may be a piezoelectric crystal, a piezoelectric ceramic, a piezoelectric polymer, other piezoelectric materials, or any combination of the foregoing. For example, the piezoelectric ceramic can be barium titanate, lead zirconate titanate, other piezoelectric ceramic compounds, or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto; the piezoelectric polymer may be polyvinylidene fluoride, similar derivatives, other piezoelectric polymer materials, or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.

To further illustrate the hardware structure of the wireless charging pad 300, please refer to fig. 3 and 4, in which fig. 3 is a block diagram of a wireless charging pad 300 according to some embodiments of the disclosure, and fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of a wireless charging pad 300 according to some embodiments of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the wireless charging pad 300 may include a piezoelectric module 100, a wrist rest area 301, and a wireless charging module 310. In terms of configuration, the piezoelectric module 100 may be disposed in the wrist placement area 301, the wireless charging module 310 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric module 100, and the wireless charging module 310 is configured to wirelessly charge the mouse 600 (shown in fig. 6). It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments and claims, reference to electrical connections may be broadly interpreted as referring to an element that is electrically coupled to another element indirectly through another element or that is electrically coupled to another element directly without the other element. For example, the piezoelectric module 100 can be directly electrically connected to the wireless charging module 310, or the piezoelectric module 100 can be indirectly electrically connected to the wireless charging module 310 through electronic circuits.

On the other hand, as shown in fig. 4, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the wireless charging pad 300 may also include a charging pad body 420. In terms of configuration, the wrist rest area 301 is located on the charging pad body 420. In addition, the wireless charging module 310 of fig. 3 may be disposed on the charging board body 420 of fig. 4. Regarding the specific location of the wireless charging module 310, for example, the wireless charging module 310 can be disposed on or in the charging board body 420, but not limited thereto, and one skilled in the art should flexibly design according to the needs of the application.

On the other hand, regarding the specific location of the piezoelectric module 100, for example, the piezoelectric module 100 may be disposed inside the wrist placing area 301; alternatively, the piezoelectric module 100 may be attached below the wrist placing area 301, and in terms of space, the piezoelectric module 100 is located between the wrist placing area 301 and the charging plate body 420; alternatively, the piezoelectric module 100 may be partially installed inside the wrist placing region 301 and partially attached to the charging board body 420, but not limited thereto, and one skilled in the art should select it flexibly according to the needs.

Referring to fig. 4, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the wireless charging pad 300 may also include a soft layer 430. As shown in fig. 4, the soft layer 430 covers the charging plate body 420. Thus, the soft layer 430 can effectively protect the charging plate body 420. Although the soft layer 430 of fig. 4 only covers the upper surface 421 and the lower surface 422 of the charging board body 420, this is not a limitation of the present invention, and in practice, the soft layer 430 may also selectively cover the wrist placing region 301, which should be flexibly selected by those skilled in the art according to the needs at the time.

In practice, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the area of the upper surface 421 of the charging plate body 420 is larger than the bottom area of the mouse 600 (shown in fig. 6), so that the charging plate body 420 covering the soft layer 430 can be used as a mouse pad.

Regarding the material of the soft layer 430, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the soft layer 430 may be a soft cloth cover or the like. In the structure, the soft cloth covers the upper surface 421 and the lower surface 422 of the charging board body 420. In practice, the cloth material is soft and comfortable to the hand, has excellent air permeability, and the cloth surface provides a surface friction suitable for the mouse 600, so that the controllability of the mouse 600 can be improved, and the position of the cursor can be accurately controlled. Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the soft layer 430 may be a plastic surface, a wood fiber surface or other soft material, but not limited thereto, and one skilled in the art should flexibly select the soft layer according to the needs of the user.

When the user uses the mouse 600, the wrist of the user can be placed on the wrist placing area 301, thereby effectively avoiding the injury (e.g., wrist tunnel syndrome) caused by long-term use of the mouse. Through the piezoelectric module 100 disposed in the wrist placement area 301, while effectively protecting the wrist, the alternating current charges can be generated by the pressure and release of the pressing force against the wrist. The wireless charging module 310 generates a magnetic field change by using the ac charge, and further generates an induction current, thereby wirelessly charging the mouse 600. Since the wireless charging pad 300 generates power by the pressure and release of the depression of the wrist, the wireless charging pad 300 can wirelessly charge the mouse 600 by the electromagnetic induction technique without plugging. In other words, when the user wants to charge the mouse 600 by the wireless charging pad 300 with the wireless charging function, the user only needs to lean the hand on the wrist placing area 301 to operate the mouse 600, so as to perform the charging.

Regarding the material aspects of wrist rest area 301, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, wrist rest area 301 may be an elastomer. In the structure, the elastic body may wholly or partially cover the piezoelectric module 100. In practice, the wrist-rest area 301 is an area that is covered by an elastic body, and the elastic body deforms. For example, the elastomer may be rubber, derivatives thereof, or other elastic materials, but is not limited thereto. The elastic wrist-rest area 301 not only can effectively apply pressure and release to the piezoelectric module 100, but also can flexibly support the wrist to keep it stable, so that the user can feel comfortable during the use process.

For further description of the electromagnetic induction technology, please refer to the structure of the wireless charging module 310 of fig. 3. In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the wireless charging module 310 includes an amplifier 320, a control circuit 330, and a wireless discharging unit 340. In the structure, the amplifier 320 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric module 100, the control circuit 330 is electrically connected to the amplifier 320, and the wireless discharging unit 340 is electrically connected to the control circuit 320.

In use, the pressure and release of the piezoelectric module 100 pressing against the wrist can generate an alternating current charge. The amplifier 320 amplifies the ac charges to improve the power transmission efficiency of the wireless discharging unit 340, and the control circuit 330 generates a magnetic field change by the ac charges through the wireless discharging unit 340 to generate an induced current, thereby wirelessly charging the mouse 600, and thus the wireless charging pad 300 can wirelessly charge the mouse 600 by the electromagnetic induction technology without being plugged.

In practice, for example, the control circuit 330 may be a microcontroller, a processor and/or other circuits, but is not limited thereto. It should be understood that the specific circuit design architecture within the control circuit 330 is well known to those skilled in the art and is not intended to be limited by the present disclosure, and will not be described in detail herein.

Regarding the type of amplifier 320, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the amplifier 320 may be a micro charge amplifier. In practice, for example, the micro charge amplifier can convert the charge signal inputted with high impedance into a voltage signal with low impedance and output the voltage signal to the control circuit 330, so as to make the control circuit 330 operate, but the foregoing is merely an example, and all functions of the micro charge amplifier are not limited thereto.

With regard to the specific structure of the wireless discharging unit 340, please continue to refer to fig. 3. In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 3, the wireless discharge unit 340 includes a plurality of discharge coils 341, 342, but not limited thereto. By means of the plurality of discharging

coils

341 and 342, a large area can be efficiently covered for wirelessly charging the mouse 600, so as to improve the stability of wireless charging when the mouse 600 moves on the wireless charging board 300. Although there are only two

discharge coils

341, 342 in fig. 3, this is not a limitation of the present invention, and in practice, under the condition that the unstable wireless charging can be avoided, one skilled in the art should flexibly adjust the number of discharge coils according to the need.

Fig. 5 is a block diagram of another wireless charging pad 500 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the wrist rest area 301 is connected to a wireless charging pad 500. It should be understood that the wireless charging pad 500 of fig. 5 is substantially the same as the wireless charging pad 300 of fig. 3, except that the wireless charging module 310 of fig. 5 includes the wrist placing region 301 and the piezoelectric module 100. In practice, for example, the wrist placing area 301 and the piezoelectric module 100 may be disposed on or integrated with the wireless charging module 310, so that the overall structure of the wireless charging pad 500 is more integrated.

To further illustrate the hardware structure of the mouse 600, please refer to fig. 3-6, and fig. 6 is a block diagram of a mouse 600 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In practice, the mouse 600 may be a wireless mouse, for example.

In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6, mouse 600 includes a receiving coil 610, a rectifier 620, and a rechargeable battery 630. In terms of configuration, the receiving coil 610 is inductively coupled to the wireless charging module 310 of fig. 3, the rectifier 620 is electrically connected to the receiving coil 610, and the rechargeable battery 630 is electrically connected to the rectifier.

In use, when the mouse 600 is placed on the wireless charging pad 300, at least one of the plurality of discharging

coils

341, 342 of the wireless charging pad 300 transmits power to the receiving coil 610 of the mouse 600 in a mutual inductance manner, the receiving coil 610 generates alternating current through electromagnetic induction, and the rectifier 620 converts the alternating current into direct current to the rechargeable battery 630, so that the rechargeable battery 630 can store power. In practice, when the mouse 600 is used by the user, the rechargeable battery 630 stores power for the operation of the mouse 600.

Regarding the type of rechargeable battery 630, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the rechargeable battery 630 may be a lithium battery. Regarding the characteristics of lithium batteries, for example, lithium batteries have high energy density, light weight, no memory effect, and low self-discharge. Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the rechargeable battery 630 may be a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium ion polymer battery or other storage batteries, but not limited thereto, and one skilled in the art should flexibly select the rechargeable battery according to the needs of the user.

Compared with the

wireless charging boards

300 and 500 in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, if the

wireless charging boards

300 and 500 are omitted, the piezoelectric module 100 or other power generating device is installed on the mouse 600 instead, and the piezoelectric module 100 or other power generating device generates power through micro-motions of the mouse 600, such as pressing, moving, and mouse wheel, but the power generating efficiency of the micro-motions of the mouse itself in the control experiment is much lower than the power generating efficiency of the piezoelectric module 100 in the wrist placing area 301 pressed against the wrist and released by the pressing force and the released corresponding power generating efficiency. Moreover, in the control experiment, the volume and weight of the mouse 600 are greatly increased by installing the piezoelectric module 100 or other power generating devices in the mouse 600, which is likely to cause serious damage to the wrist after long-term use.

In summary, the technical solution of the present disclosure has obvious advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art. The wireless charging device and the wireless charging board 300 thereof of the present disclosure can generate an ac charge by pressing and releasing the wrist through the wrist placing area 301 provided with the piezoelectric module 100 while effectively protecting the wrist, and the piezoelectric module 100 is electrically connected to the wireless charging module 310 to generate a magnetic field change through the ac charge and further generate an induced current, so as to wirelessly charge the mouse 600 by using an electromagnetic induction technology without inserting electricity.
