Abstract

A charging device for an electronic device in a vehicle includes a charging plug, a charging connector, a coupling wire assembly, and a signal reception assembly. The charging plug includes a power supply module and a signal transceiver electrically coupled to the power supply module. The charging connector includes a connection member for coupling the electronic device and an induction antenna positioned adjacent to the connection member. The coupling wire assembly includes an electric wire and a first transmission antenna. The electric wire is coupled to the power supply module and the connecting member, and the first transmission antenna is coupled to the signal transceiver and the induction antenna. The signal reception assembly includes a signal reception base positioned on an outer portion of the vehicle and a second transmission antenna coupling with the signal reception. The signal reception base includes a reception antenna.

Claims

1. A charging device for an electronic device in a vehicle, comprising:

a charging plug comprising a power supply module and a signal transceiver electrically coupled to the power supply module;

a charging connector comprising a connection member for coupling the electronic device and an induction antenna positioned adjacent to the connection member;

a coupling wire assembly comprising an electric wire and a first transmission antenna, the electric wire coupled with the power supply module and the connecting member for supplying electric power to the electronic device, and the first transmission antenna coupled to the signal transceiver and the induction antenna;

a signal reception assembly comprising a signal reception base positioned on an outer portion of the vehicle and a second transmission antenna coupled to the signal reception assembly, wherein the signal reception base comprises a reception antenna, the second transmission antenna is coupled with the reception antenna and the signal transceiver, a signal received by the reception antenna is transmitted to the electronic device via the second transmission antenna, the first transmission antenna, and the induction antenna; and

the signal is transmitted to the electronic device via the induction antenna when the connection member is coupled to the electronic device for charging.

2. The charging device of claim 1, wherein the signal reception base further comprises a signal amplification module coupled to the reception antenna for amplifying the signal received by the reception antenna and transmitting thereof to the signal transceiver.

3.
