Definitions
- This invention relates to a new system for temporary attachment of portable rechargeable devices to recharging stations, and a method of temporarily attaching portable rechargeable devices to their charging units.
- Today's portable rechargeable devices are typically recharged by temporarily connecting them to a recharger via a mating plug-in or clip-on connection.
- An example is the typical "floating wire" connection between a mains charger and a mobile phone (see Figure 1).
- connection serves two purposes:
- Some of today's portable rechargeable devices are charged by a non-contact means, for example by inductive power transfer.
- An example is the Braun® electric toothbrush, where the toothbrush must be accurately located onto a spigot on the recharger, which retains it.
- the spigot serves only as a positioning means and no additional force is required to separate the toothbrush from the charger other than that required to lift the toothbrush against gravity.
- the recharging means may be a laminar surface upon which a device can conveniently be placed, in any position and any orientation, as disclosed, for example, in the present applicant's UK patent application no. 01283175 of 27 November 2001.
- This avoids the limitations of the positive mechanical connection (e.g. cradles, connectors, clips) required by other charging solutions, and so is more convenient to the user because it is easier to place a device casually anywhere on a surface than precisely to align it with a mechanical socket.
- Dispensing with the need for mechanical location may also allow other benefits, such as the ability simultaneously to recharge multiple units, and/or to recharge devices of different types on the same recharger.
- a flat recharging surface must be kept substantially horizontal to prevent devices from sliding off the surface. But this requirement may be inconvenient to the user - for example putting the surface on a desk may occupy otherwise-useful space. Freeing-up the surface so that it can be placed in any orientation would give the user much more flexibility to use otherwise- useless space - for example to mount the surface vertically on a wall, or even on the inside of a car roof. • If a mobile recharging surface is likely to be subject to movement (e.g. a tabletop that may get knocked, or in a car, aeroplane or spacecraft), the devices may fall off.
- movement e.g. a tabletop that may get knocked, or in a car, aeroplane or spacecraft
- a system for wireless powering or recharging of rechargeable devices comprising a charging unit and a power receiving device, wherein one or other or both of the charging unit and the power receiving device is provided with connecting means adapted for temporary releasable connection of the power receiving device to the charging unit, the connecting means not being an electrical connection.
- a system for wireless powering or recharging of rechargeable devices comprising a charging unit and a power receiving device, wherein one or other or both of the charging unit and the power receiving device is provided with connecting means adapted for temporary releasable connection of the power receiving device to the charging unit in at least two positions and/or rotations of the device relative to the charging unit.
- a charging unit adapted for wireless powering or recharging of a power receiving device, wherein the charging unit is provided with connecting means for temporary releasable connection of a power receiving device thereto, the connecting means not being an electrical connection.
- a power receiving device adapted for wireless powering or recharging by a charging unit, wherein the power receiving device is provided with connecting means for temporary releasable connection of a charging unit thereto, the connecting means not being an electrical connection.
- a method of wireless powering or recharging of a power-receiving device which comprises temporarily attaching the device to a charging unit, said method further comprising utilising a releasable temporary connecting means attached to the charging unit and/or the device, wherein said connecting means is adapted to enable the charging unit and the device to be attached in one or more positions and/or orientations relative to each other, the connecting means not being an electrical connection.
- embodiments of the present invention provides a system for powering or recharging rechargeable devices which has several advantages over the prior art.
- Such a system is advantageous because it provides convenient retention of the device to the charging unit while still preserving the convenience of being able to simple drop or press the device against the charging unit, thus greatly expanding the number of usable places for the user to locate the charging unit.
- embodiments of the present invention are distinguished over existing systems and methods in that there is provided a combination of wireless power transfer and a temporary releasable connection.
- Ordinary wired power transfer systems generally incorporate a releasable physical connection such as a plug and socket with physical mating means, but these are provided in order to secure a good electrical connection.
- Ordinary wireless power transfer systems do not incorporate physical, temporary releasable physical connections, since these have hitherto been seen as disadvantageous in a wireless system.
- temporary releasable connection is intended to cover connections that require a predetermined degree of force for separation, hi other words, a simple location spigot such as found in wireless electric toothbrush chargers is not intended to be covered by the term “temporary releasable connection”, since no particular force is required to separate the toothbrush from the charger.
- Embodiments of the present invention therefore combine a releasable physical connection with a wireless power transfer system in a counterintuitive way that is not suggested by the prior art.
- the power receiving device is portable.
- portable power receiving devices include mobile telephones, lap-top computers, and personal digital assistants (PDA).
- PDA personal digital assistants
- Examples of relative positions and/or orientations in which the charging unit and device may be attached include:
- charging may also be taken to mean “powering” for devices which do not have substantial rechargeable batteries, and therefore can only operate while in proximity to the recharger, for example lightbulbs, fans etc.
- the charging unit is capable of charging multiple types of device.
- the charging unit is capable of charging multiple devices simultaneously.
- the device is capable of being charged by multiple types of charging unit.
- the connecting means comprises a means added to the surface of the device and/or the charging unit.
- this type of connecting means include hook-and-eye fasteners (such as NelcroTM), suckers, reusable, self-adhesive glue (as used in, for example, Post-ItTM notes) or high stiction/friction surfaces such as a rubbery or rough surface.
- the means may cover only a small portion of the surface, or for example a complete face, or the entire device and/or charging unit.
- the connecting means may comprise a shaping of the surface of the device and/or the charging unit.
- the connecting means used in this embodiment of the invention include bumps, ridges or grooves on the surface of either the charging unit or the device.
- the connecting means may comprise a plurality of projections on one surface and a plurality of corresponding holes on another surface, for example as used in Lego® building blocks.
- spiked systems such as those exemplified by Stickle-Bricks(R) or spikes with corresponding holes can be used as connecting means.
- Hook-and-eye shapings may also be used as connecting means.
- the connecting means may comprise means added beneath the surface of the device and/or the charging unit, said means being capable of acting at a distance.
- Examples of the connecting means in this embodiment of the invention may include permanent magnets, and arrays of such, electr magnets, and arrays of such or possibly electrostatically-charged terminals.
- the charging unit and not the device comprises a connecting means.
- the connecting means include pockets.
- the charging unit may be positioned so that it hangs vertically on a wall and the connecting means of the charging unit may be multiple pockets to receive one or more devices.
- Further examples of the connecting means of the charging unit may include elastic bands to strap down the device(s), or indentations or contours on the charging unit. Examples of such indentations or contours on the charging unit include a ridge designed to hold standard AA cells for example or a bowl shape indentation to retain a variety of differently-shaped devices.
- the connecting means may be adapted to enable the charging unit and the device to be mated in a large number of different relative orientations, for example, such that the possible relative location and rotation of the device and charging unit are quantised into so many possibilities that there is no limitation visible to the user.
- the connecting means could be Nelcro®, which would enable mating between the charging unit and the device to occur in almost any position and rotation relative to each another.
- the connecting means may be adapted to enable the charging unit and the device to be mated in a limited number of relative orientations only.
- the connecting means may comprise a plurality of projections on one surface and a plurality of corresponding holes on another surface, such as Lego® building blocks, which may only allow mating between the charging unit and the device in a maximum of four possible rotations and at a finite number of discrete locations).
- the device and charging unit may be mated together.
- a manufacturer selling a device capable of being recharged by relatively large recharging surfaces may nevertheless choose to include with the device a small, low-cost recharging surface which precisely fits the device, and is retained to it, for example by 4 holes in the device and 4 corresponding bumps in the surface.
- the user can "clip" the surface of the charging unit to the device in a manner similar to today's wired charging connections, but the device is capable of being used more flexibly with larger charging unit surfaces, h this case, the surface may be incorporated directly into a mains-powered charging unit, providing a low-cost "no wires" easy-travel solution onto which a device can be conveniently pressed.
- the connecting means of the device may correspond to the connecting means of the charging unit, such that devices will attach to charging units, but not devices to devices nor charging units to charging units.
- An example of a connecting means of this embodiment is Nelcro® which comes in "male” and "female" types which stick to each other but not to themselves.
- the connecting means of the device may be Nelcro® of the male type
- the connecting means of the charging unit may be Nelcro® of the female type.
- the connecting means of the charging unit may be identical to the connecting means of the device.
- This embodiment will be capable of attaching to itself and may be used on all devices and charging units.
- An example is a reusable tacky adhesive such as the glue used in Post-It® notes.
- a potential advantage of this is in the case where a device is capable of performing the function of a charging unit to another device.
- each pair class attaching only to the other of the pair.
- a potential advantage of this is in the case that not all charging units are capable of recharging all devices - a user can then immediately feel that a device is not "sticking" to a (or part of a) charging unit and will not be recharged by it.
- the connecting means may in addition possess aesthetic or visual qualities to conveniently inform users that a device is capable of being recharged, or a charging unit is available to recharge, or if a certain (part of the) charging unit is more appropriate for charging a particular class of device in the manner described above.
- a specific reflective colour e.g. Pantone® 1283
- a specific emissive colour (e.g. a bright red light)
- a specific "sheen” e.g. glittering metallic silver
- a specific repeated pattern (e.g. triangles)
- a texture which may optionally be recognisable by touch alone (e.g. fuzzy)
- the aesthetic qualities may change their appearance or touch depending on the state of the device and/or the charging unit.
- the surface of a device and/or charging unit may change colour when it is powered-on, or the device is in need of recharging, or is recharging, or is recharged, or is in need of attention (for example a mobile phone device receiving an incoming call).
- FIGURE 1 shows an example of a prior art recharging connection
- FIGURE 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention
- FIGURE 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- a power receiving device 1 in this embodiment the device is a mobile phone.
- the mobile phone 1 has a connecting means 3 attached to the back of the phone.
- the connecting means 3 of the device 1 is a patch of self-adhesive Nelcro® of the "male” type. This is black and slightly prickly, informing the user that the phone may be charged on a charging surface.
- Figure 3 also shows a charging unit 5.
- the charging unit 5 is an inductive recharging pad.
- a patch of self- adhesive Nelcro® of the "female” type 9 which acts as the connecting means of the charging unit. This is black and slightly fuzzy, informing the user that the pad may charge devices.
- the user simply presses the phone 1 onto the pad 5 (or drops it, if the pad is below the phone) and the Nelcro® 3, 9 holds the phone in place on the pad .
- the phone can be placed onto the pad in any orientation and in any position, and is held securely by the Nelcro®. Once the phone and the pad are attached in this way, the phone can receive power from the pad and so can be recharged.
- the phone 1 has been recharged fully, or before if desired, it can be removed from the pad 5 easily by the user at any time, simply by pulling it away. This disengages the Nelcro® 3 from the Nelcro® 9.
- Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment wherein a plurality of devices 1, (in this embodiment, mobile phones) are attached to a charging unit 5 (in this embodiment, a pad).
- Figure 2 shows that, in this embodiment, the mobile phone 1 and the pad 5 can be mated at various different orientations to the each other and also the mobile phones can be positioned at different orientations relative to the other mobile phones 1.
