    摘要: A charging assembly (100) for wireless power transfer. In embodiments, the charging assembly comprises a housing (140), a cap structure (110), a ferrimagnetic sleeve (325), an inductive coil (315), a magnet (350), a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) (360), and a four-pin connector (210) extending from a bottom surface of the PCBA. A ridge of the cap structure can be coupled to a lip (220) of the housing. The housing can include a bottom housing surface having an aperture (215), and a sidewall extending between the bottom housing surface and the lip that extends outward from the sidewall along a perimeter of the housing parallel to the bottom housing surface. The four-pin connector can extend through the aperture of the housing. Some embodiments are directed to a charging device that incorporates the charging assembly.

    摘要: A wireless charger for an electronic device. The charger includes a base having a base opening and an interior cavity defined by an upper shell, a lower shell and an inner sidewall extending between the upper and lower shells to define the base opening. An aperture is formed through the inner sidewall between the interior cavity and the base opening and a hinge is connected to the base within the interior cavity and extends through the aperture. The charger further includes a wireless charging assembly that is pivotably attached to the base by the hinge and moveable between a down position in which the wireless charging assembly is disposed within the base opening and an up position in which the wireless charging assembly extends outside the base. The charging assembly has a charging surface and a power transmitting unit disposed adjacent to the charging surface where the power transmitting unit is configured to wirelessly transmit power across the charging surface to a power receiving unit of a portable electronic device.
