Advanced convectively-cooled inductive charging
First Claim
1. An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
- a portable power source;
IHS electronics that are powered by the portable power source;
a receiver coil to magnetically receive power from a transmitter coil that is located within a proximate range of the receiver coil;
a power control module connected to the portable power source and the receiver coil to charge the portable power source with received power from the receiver coil; and
a pneumatic diaphragm positioned on a side of the receiver coil opposite to a location of the transmitter coil to shield the IHS electronics, the flexible ferrite shield further configured to use the pneumatic diaphragm to support dispersal of thermal energy generated by the receiver coil, wherein the pneumatic diaphragm is a portion of a flexible ferrite shield and is positioned for oscillating movement into a center cavity of the receiver coil.

Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) includes a base station that has a transmitter coil to generate a magnetic field for charging a portable power source of a battery-powered electronic device. A receiver coil magnetically receives power from the transmitter coil of the base station. A power control module connected to the portable power source and the receiver coil charges the portable power source with the received power. A flexible ferrite shield is positioned on a side of the receiver coil opposite to the transmitter coil to shield the IHS electronics. A pneumatic diaphragm is formed by a portion of the flexible ferrite shield that is positioned for oscillating movement into a center cavity of the receiver coil. A diaphragm actuator is attached to the pneumatic diagram and is responsive to a triggering signal to oscillate the pneumatic diaphragm to disperse thermal energy that is generated by the receiver coil.
