The dashed-dotted line boxes in fig. 1 to 4 are used to indicate fastening structure installation spaces (10 b, 20 b) described later, and are not lines indicating structures. In each drawing, arrow UP represents the upper side, arrow LF represents the left side, and arrow RR represents the rear side.

Hereinafter, a case where the present utility model is applied to the mobile phone 30 will be described as an example of the portable device, but the type of the portable device is not limited to the mobile phone 30.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the contactless charger includes a panel 1 on which a mobile phone 30 is placed in a surface contact state, and a main body (not shown) for performing contactless charging of the mobile phone 30 placed on the panel 1. The contactless charger is mounted in a space (not shown) in front of a shift lever in a vehicle, for example.

The main body is configured to generate a magnetic field by passing a current through a coil inside the main body, generate magnetic field induction by overlapping the generated magnetic field with the coil of the mobile phone 30 in a short distance, and charge the secondary battery of the mobile phone 30 by rectifying the induced current generated in the coil of the mobile phone 30. The structure of the main body is a structure used in a conventional contactless charger, and thus a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the panel 1 is configured in a rectangular plate shape. In the use state, the panel 1 is attached to the main body in a state of being reclined, for example. The panel 1 is configured such that either one of the front and back surfaces (one surface 10 and the other surface 20) is a usable surface, that is, is reversible.

As shown in fig. 1, a first arrangement portion 11 for placing the cellular phone 30 is provided at a lower end portion of a rectangular area (i.e., an area indicated by a dashed-dotted line) where the cellular phone 30 is arranged on the one surface 10 of the panel 1. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first arrangement portion 11 is configured as a protruding portion 11 protruding rearward from the one surface 10 and extending in the left-right direction (horizontal direction), and one side (long side) 31 of the one rectangular cell phone 30 in the long side direction can be placed on the protruding portion 11, that is, the protruding portion 11 can hold the one long side 31 of the one rectangular cell phone 30. Thus, when the one surface 10 of the panel 1 is used as the use surface, the charging state in which the back surface of the mobile phone 30 is in surface contact with the one surface 10 of the panel 1 and the long side 31 of the mobile phone 30 is placed on the ridge portion 11, that is, the horizontally-placed state of the mobile phone 30 can be realized.

In this way, by simply placing the long side 31 of the mobile phone 30 on the protruding portion 11, the mobile phone 30 can be placed at a predetermined position in the portable device placement space 10a, and the positional accuracy (that is, placement accuracy) of the mobile phone 30 on the panel 1 can be ensured, so that the mobile phone 30 can be charged well by noncontact charging requiring the placement accuracy of the portable device.

As shown in fig. 1, a rectangular frame-like region (a region between an inner frame of a chain line and an outer frame of a chain line) outside the portable device arrangement space 10a is a fastening structure arrangement space 10b on one surface 10 of the panel 1. As shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, approximately cylindrical fastening pins (protrusions) 13 protruding rearward from one surface 10 are provided at the four corners of the fastening structure installation space 10b, respectively. The fastening pin 13 is configured to be tightly fitted into a recess (not shown) provided in the main body portion, and to be able to be pulled out from the recess. Therefore, when the other surface 20 of the panel 1 is used as the use surface, only the fastening pin 13 is inserted into the recess, and the one surface 10 of the panel 1 can be detachably attached to the main body.

Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 2, a second arrangement portion 21 is provided in a rectangular portion of the other surface 20 of the panel 1 where the cellular phone 30 is arranged, that is, in a portable device arrangement space 20a (an area indicated by a dashed-dotted line). The two cellular phones 30 can be arranged in the second arrangement unit 21 in a side-by-side manner in a vertically arranged state.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the second arrangement portion 21 includes a projecting portion (first projecting portion) 21a projecting from the other surface 20 to the front side and extending in the left-right direction (horizontal direction), and a projecting portion (second projecting portion) 21b projecting from the other surface 20 to the front side and extending perpendicularly to the horizontal direction.

The protruding portion 21a is configured to be able to dispose one short side (side perpendicular to the long side) 33 of each of the two rectangular cell phones 30 juxtaposed left and right, that is, to be able to hold the one short side 33 of each of the two cell phones 30.

The ridge portion 21b is configured to divide an area above the ridge portion 21a into a left area and a right area in which one mobile phone 30 can be placed, respectively. That is, the ridge portion 21b is located between the two cellular phones 30 arranged in parallel in the left-right direction, and separates the two cellular phones 30.

Thus, when the other surface 20 of the panel 1 is used as the use surface, it is possible to realize a state in which the back surfaces of the two cellular phones 30 are in surface contact with the other surface 20 of the panel 1, the two cellular phones 30 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction with being separated by the ridge portion 21b, and one short side 33 of each of the two cellular phones 30 is placed on the ridge portion 21a, that is, a state in which the two cellular phones 30 are arranged side by side.

By disposing one short 33 of each of the two cellular phones 30 in the left and right regions of the protruding portion 21a in this manner, the two cellular phones 30 can be simultaneously disposed at predetermined positions in the portable device disposition space 20a, and positional accuracy of the two cellular phones 30 on the panel 1 can be ensured. Further, since the two cellular phones 30 are separated by the ridge portion 21b in the right-left direction, the cellular phone 30 is easily placed at a predetermined position on the panel 1. This ensures that the contactless charging of the mobile phone 30 is reliably performed.

As shown in fig. 2, a rectangular frame-shaped region (a region between the inner frame and the outer frame) outside the portable device placement space 20a is a fastening structure placement space 20b on the other surface 20 of the panel 1. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, fastening pins (protrusions) 23 protruding forward from the other surface 20 are provided at the four corners of the fastening structure installation space 20b. The fastening pin 23 is identical in shape to the fastening pin 13 and corresponds in installation position (back-to-back), thereby constituting a pair of the

fastening pins

23 and 13. Since the pair of the front and back fastening pins (23 and 13) have the same shape, both can be tightly fitted into or pulled out from the recess provided in the main body portion as described above. Thus, when one surface 10 of the panel 1 is used as the use surface, the other surface 20 of the panel 1 can be detachably attached to the main body by simply inserting the fastening pin 23 into the recess as in the fastening pin 13. Thus, the panel 1 is configured such that both the front and back surfaces (one surface 10 and the other surface 20) can be detachably attached to the main body.

As described above, according to the noncontact charger of the present embodiment, the one surface 10 and the other surface 20 of the panel 1 can be detachably attached to the main body, the first arrangement portion 11 capable of placing one mobile phone 30 in a horizontal state is provided on the one surface 10 of the panel 1, and the second arrangement portion 21 capable of placing one mobile phone 30 in a vertical state or placing two mobile phones 30 in a side-by-side vertical state is provided on the other surface 20 of the panel 1. Therefore, both the front and back surfaces of the panel 1 can be used, and only the surface to be used is required to be turned to the outer side, and the panel can be correspondingly horizontally and longitudinally arranged, and can meet the requirement of simultaneously charging two mobile phones 30. Therefore, the user can cope with different usage patterns of the mobile phone 30 without changing the panel. Thus, the convenience of use can be improved.

Further, the attachment or detachment of the panel 1 to or from the main body can be achieved by simply inserting or extracting the fastening pin 13 provided on one surface 10 or the fastening pin 23 provided on the other surface 20 of the panel 1 into or from the recess provided on the main body. Thus, the operation is simple, and the user can turn over the panel 1 conveniently.
