Abstract

The present disclose relates to a charging device for charging portable electronic devices. The charging device includes a transmitting unit, a receiving unit and an output port. The transmitting unit includes a first coil for generating electromagnetic signals for charging the portable electronic device. The receiving unit includes a charging panel and at least one second coil arranged on the charging panel. The at least one second coil receives the electromagnetic signals generated by the transmitting unit to generate induction currents. The output port is electrically connected to the receiving unit for outputting the induction currents. The portable electronic device is selectively electrically connected to the charging panel or the output port for charging.

Claims

1. A wireless charging device for charging a portable electronic device, comprising:

a transmitting unit comprising a first coil for generating electromagnetic signals;

a receiving unit comprising a charging panel and at least one second coil arranged on the charging panel, the at least one second coil receiving the electromagnetic signals generated by the transmitting unit to generate induction currents; and

an output port electrically connected to the receiving unit for outputting the induction currents;

wherein the portable electronic device is selectively electrically connected to the charging panel or the output port for being charged.

2. The wireless charging device of claim 1, wherein the output port is an USB port.

3. The wireless charging device of claim 1, wherein the output port is electrically connected to the receiving unit via an elastic sheet.

4. The wireless charging device of claim 3, wherein the elastic sheet is made of stainless steel.

5. The wireless charging device of claim 3, wherein the elastic sheet is substantial L-shape.

6. The wireless charging device of claim 1, wherein the receiving unit comprises a plurality of second coils with different shapes.

7. The wireless charging device of claim 1, further comprising a wave-shielding plate arranged between the transmitting unit and receiving unit.

8. The wireless charging device of claim 1, further comprising a housing receiving the transmitting unit.

9. The wireless charging device of claim 8, wherein the receiving unit is extractable and mounted to the housing.

10. The wireless charging device of claim 9, wherein the receiving unit is inserted into the housing when the portable electronic device is electrically connected to the charging panel.

11. The wireless charging device of claim 9, wherein the receiving unit is pulled out of the housing and disposed on the housing when the portable electronic device is electrically connected to the output port.
