Abstract

A terminal support and a wireless charging device are disclosed. The terminal support includes a base with a placing surface used for placing a terminal; a force generation module; and a control module connected to the force generation module, wherein the control module is configured to control the force generation module to generate a force which acts on the terminal to change a relative position relationship between the terminal and the placing surface. A wireless charging device is further disclosed and the wireless charging device includes the terminal support. The terminal support controls the terminal placed on the base, the terminal and the placing surface are controlled to produce relative movement therebetween, and corresponding control can be performed according to a state parameter of the terminal or an instruction input by a user.

Claims

1. A terminal support, comprising:

a base with a placing surface used for placing a terminal;

a force generation module; and

a control module configured to control the force generation module to generate a force which acts on the terminal to change a relative position relationship between the terminal and the placing surface,

wherein the terminal support further comprises a detection module connected with the control module, and the detection module is configured to acquire a detection signal of a state parameter of the terminal or an instruction input by a user, and send the detection signal to the control module to make the control module control the force generation module according to the detection signal to generate a force on the terminal.

2. The terminal support according to claim 1, wherein the state parameter of the terminal is a charging progress of the terminal or a working state of the terminal.

3. The terminal support according to claim 2, wherein the detection module comprises a camera, and the detection module is configured to acquire whether a distance between the user and the terminal is within a preset range.

4. The terminal support according to claim 1, wherein the force generation module is configured to apply one or a combination of a magnetic force, an attraction force and a repelling force to the terminal to change the relative position relationship between the terminal and the placing surface.

5. The terminal support according to claim 4, wherein the placing surface is a curved surface, a flat surface or a concave-convex surface.

6. The terminal support according to claim 5, wherein the force generation module comprises a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet, and the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet are located at different positions on the placing surface.

7. The terminal support according to claim 6, wherein the first electromagnet is located at a position of a first height on the placing surface, and the second electromagnet is located at a position of a second height lower than the first height on the placing surface.

8. The terminal support according to claim 7, wherein the force generation module further comprises a third electromagnet, and the third electromagnet is located at a position of a third height lower than the first height on the placing surface.

9. A wireless charging device, comprising the terminal support according to claim 1, and further comprising a wireless charging module connected with a control module and configured to perform wireless charging on a terminal placed on a placing surface.

10. The terminal support according to claim 2, wherein the force generation module is configured to apply one or a combination of a magnetic force, an attraction force and a repelling force to the terminal to change the relative position relationship between the terminal and the placing surface.

11. The terminal support according to claim 3, wherein the force generation module is configured to apply one or a combination of a magnetic force, an attraction force and a repelling force to the terminal to change the relative position relationship between the terminal and the placing surface.
