Wireless charging structure for mobile information terminal in vehicle
First Claim
1. A wireless charging structure for a mobile information terminal in a vehicle, comprising:
- a mobile information terminal case to cover the mobile information terminal;
a support provided on a vehicle side to support the mobile information terminal case;
a receiving coil through which current is to flow along with a passage of magnetic flux, the receiving coil being provided inside an outer wall of the mobile information terminal case;
a reception controller provided inside the outer wall of the mobile information terminal case and electrically connected to the receiving coil;
a transmitting coil through which current is to flow to generate magnetic flux, the support including a facing portion provided to face the receiving coil in a state where the mobile information terminal case is supported by the support, the transmitting coil being provided on the vehicle side and provided on an inner side of the facing portion of the support; and
a transmission controller provided on the vehicle side and electrically connected to the transmitting coil, the transmission controller including an inverter configured to convert direct current supplied from a battery provided on the vehicle side to alternating current and to supply the alternating current to the transmitting coil, the reception controller including a converter configured to convert alternating current flowing through the receiving coil due to the magnetic flux generated by the transmitting coil to direct current, whereinthe support includes a first locking portion and a second locking portion which are provided to lock the mobile information terminal case,the transmitting coil is provided between the first locking portion and the second locking portion, andthe mobile information terminal case is supported by the support in a state where the mobile information terminal case is inclined frontward with respect to a vertical line.

Abstract
A wireless charging structure to wirelessly charge a mobile information terminal in a vehicle includes a mobile information terminal case, a support, a receiving coil, a reception controller, a transmitting coil, and a transmission controller. The transmitting coil is provided on a vehicle side and provided on an inner side of a facing portion of the support. The transmission controller is provided on the vehicle side and electrically connected to the transmitting coil. The transmission controller includes an inverter configured to convert direct current supplied from a battery provided on the vehicle side to alternating current and to supply the alternating current to the transmitting coil. The reception controller includes a converter configured to convert alternating current flowing through the receiving coil due to the magnetic flux generated by the transmitting coil to direct current.
