Abstract

A wireless charging holder and an assembly of an electronic device and the wireless charging holder are provided. The wireless charging holder includes a body, a fixing element, a power line, a first coil, and a first magnetic element. The body is used to hold the electronic device. The fixing element has a first end connecting with the body and a second end fixed on a vehicle. The power line has a third end connecting with the body and a fourth end to plug into a socket. The first coil on the body is electronically connected with the power line. The first magnetic element disposed in the body is adjacent to the first coil. The electronic device having a second coil is fixed by the first magnetic element on the body, and the first coil overlaps the second coil to induce current for charging the electronic device.

Claims

1. A wireless charging holder suitable for being installed on a vehicle and an electronic device suitable for being placed on the wireless charging holder for charging, comprising:

a body suitable for holding the electronic device;

a fixing element having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected with the body and the second end is fixed on the vehicle;

a power line having a third end and a fourth end, wherein the third end is connected with the body and the fourth end is suitable for being plugged into an external socket;

a coil disposed on the body and electronically connected with the power line; and

a first magnetic element disposed in the body and adjacent to the coil to magnetically attach the electronic device.

2. The wireless charging holder of claim 1, wherein the coil is disposed in the body or disposed on a surface of the body.

3. The wireless charging holder of claim 1, wherein the fixing element is a suction attachment or a suction cup.

4. The wireless charging holder of claim 1, wherein the first magnetic element is at a center of the coil, at four sides on an inside of the coil, at four sides on an outside of the coil, or a combination thereof.

5. An assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder, wherein the wireless charging holder of the assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder is suitable for being installed on a vehicle, the assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder comprising:

the wireless charging holder, comprising;

a body suitable for holding the electronic device;

a fixing element having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected with the body and the second end is fixed on the vehicle;

a power line having a third end and a fourth end, wherein the third end is connected with the body and the fourth end is suitable for being plugged into an external socket;

a first coil disposed on the body and electronically connected with the power line;

a first magnetic element disposed in the body and adjacent to the first coil; and

an electronic device having a second coil,

wherein when the electronic device is placed on the body of the wireless charging holder, the first magnetic element magnetically attaches the electronic device to position the electronic device on the body, and a portion of the first coil at least overlaps a portion of the second coil.

6. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 5, wherein the first coil is disposed in the body or disposed on a surface of the body.

7. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 5, wherein the fixing element is a suction attachment or a suction cup.

8. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 5, wherein the first magnetic element is at a center of the first coil, at four sides on an outside of the first coil, at four sides on an inside of the first coil, or a combination thereof.

9. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 5, wherein the electronic device further comprises a second magnetic element magnetically attached with the first magnetic element.

10. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 9, wherein the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are an assembly of a magnet and an element that can be magnetically attached by the magnet.

11. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 10, wherein the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are arranged in pairs, the first coil is between the pair of first magnetic elements, and the second coil is between the pair of second magnetic elements.

12. The assembly of an electronic device and a wireless charging holder of claim 9, wherein the first magnetic element is a magnet, the second magnetic element is a metal shield case, and the magnet positions the electronic device on the body by magnetically attaching the metal shield case.
