ELECTRIC SHIELDING STRUCTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240283301 titled 'ELECTRIC SHIELDING STRUCTURES
The abstract describes wireless power transmitting devices with a contact surface for supporting wireless power receiving devices, multiple coils, and a shield between the coils and the contact surface.
- The wireless power transmitting devices have a contact surface for supporting wireless power receiving devices.
- They include a plurality of coils for transmitting power wirelessly.
- A shield is positioned between the coils and the contact surface.
- The shield consists of one or more shield members aligned with separate coils and has a multilayer structure with varying conductivities.
Potential Applications: - Charging pads for smartphones and other electronic devices - Electric vehicle charging stations - Medical devices requiring wireless power transfer - Industrial automation systems
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for physical connectors for charging devices - Enables efficient and convenient power transfer without direct contact - Reduces wear and tear on charging ports of devices
Benefits: - Simplifies the charging process for users - Increases the lifespan of electronic devices by reducing wear on charging ports - Enhances safety by eliminating exposed electrical contacts
Commercial Applications: Wireless power transmitting devices can be used in consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and industrial sectors to provide convenient and efficient power transfer solutions.
Questions about Wireless Power Transmitting Devices: 1. How does the shield in the wireless power transmitting devices improve efficiency? 2. What are the key differences between wireless power transmission and traditional wired charging methods?
