Abstract

A supporter includes a housing and a guide member formed at one side of the housing. The guide member has an inclined surface. A fixing member faces the guide member to fix an object and a transmission coil is disposed in the housing to wirelessly transmit power.

Claims

1. A supporter comprising:

a housing;

a guide member provided at one side of the housing and having an inclined surface;

a fixing member facing the guide member to fix an object; and

a transmission coil provided in the housing to wirelessly transmit power.

2. The supporter of claim 1, wherein the fixing member includes first and second rotation shafts coupled to the housing to rotatably move;

a pressing part connected to the first and second rotation shafts to press at least a part of the object as the first and second rotation shafts rotatably move; and

first and second elastic members to generate elastic force in order to allow the first and second rotation shafts to rotatably move.

3. The supporter of claim 2, further comprising first and second supports disposed between the pressing part and the first and second rotation shafts to support the pressing part.

4. The supporter of claim 2, wherein the fixing member further comprises an inlet part extending from the pressing part while being bent to be gradually away from the guide member.

5. The supporter of claim 3, wherein the fixing member further comprises a first buffer member disposed at least on an inside surface of the pressing part.

6. The supporter of claim 2, further comprising a secure member disposed at a low portion of the housing to secure the object.

7. The supporter of claim 6, wherein the secure member includes a first recess provided at a center of the secure member;

second and third recesses adjacent to the first recess; and

first and second side walls provided between each of the second and third recesses and the first recess,

wherein the first and second rotation shafts pass through the first and second side walls, and

the first and second elastic members are provided in the second and third recesses, respectively.

8. The supporter of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a first case formed with the guide member;

and

a second case coupled to the first case.

9. The supporter of claim 8, further comprising:

a printed circuit board provided on the second case and including at least one opening; and

a heat sink provided between the printed circuit board and the transmission coil to make contact with at least a part of the second case.

10. The supporter of claim 9, wherein the heat sink passes through the at least one opening of the printed circuit board to make contact with the second case.

11. The supporter of claim 10, wherein the second case includes a protrusion member protruding toward the first case.

12. The supporter of claim 11, further comprising a thermal plate on a top surface of the protrusion member,

wherein the heat sink passes through the at least one opening of the printed circuit board to make contact with the thermal plate.

13. The supporter of claim 12, further comprising a first thermal pad between the heat sink and the thermal plate.

14. The supporter of claim 11, wherein the top surface of the protrusion member includes an opening,

a thermal plate is further disposed in the opening of the protrusion member, and

the heat sink passes through the at least one opening of the printed circuit board to make contact with the thermal plate.

15. The supporter of claim 14, further comprising a first thermal pad between the heat sink and the thermal plate.

16. The supporter of claim 8, further comprising a magnetic substrate between the transmission coil and the heat sink,

wherein the magnetic substrate and the printed circuit substrate make contact with top and bottom surfaces of the heat sink.

17. The supporter of claim 8, further comprising:

an electronic device mounted on the printed circuit board facing the second case; and

at least one second thermal pad disposed between the electronic device and the second case.

18. The supporter of claim 1, wherein the transmission coil is parallel with the inclined surface.

19. The supporter of claim 1, wherein the object includes one of a wireless terminal and a chargeable device.
