DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0022] Technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described clearly and completely with reference to accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, a fan 100 of one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a fan base 110, a transmitting wire coil 120 and a first control circuit 130. A first accommodating space 111 is defined inside the fan base 110. The fan base 110 is provided with a receiving area 112. The receiving area 112 is formed on an upper surface for placing a wireless power receiving device. The transmitting wire coil 120 and the first control circuit 130 are arranged in the first accommodating space 111. The transmitting wire coil 120 is arranged below the receiving area 112, and the first control circuit 130 is configured to control the transmitting wire coil 120 to transmit wireless power transmission signals to the wireless power receiving device.

[0024] The embodiment of the present disclosure can transmit the wireless power transmission signals to the wireless power receiving device placed on the fan base for operation of the wireless power receiving device by setting the transmitting wire coil and a control circuit on the fan base, thus expanding application scope of a wireless power transmission technology and making power supply of the wireless power receiving device more convenient and safe.

[0025] In other embodiments, the transmitting wire coil and the control circuit can also be arranged in a desk, a bedside table or a desk lamp and other devices which are easy to place the wireless power receiving device.

[0026] In the embodiment, a thickness of the receiving area 112 can be set such that a distance between the transmitting wire coil 120 and a receiving wire coil is less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, in the embodiment, the wireless power receiving device 200 can be a humidifier, the fan 100 may further include a humidity sensor 140. The humidity sensor 140 may be configured to detect an ambient humidity value. The first control circuit 130 may further adjust power of the wireless power transmission signals according to the ambient humidity value to change the ambient humidity value by controlling the humidifier.

[0028] Specifically, the first control circuit 130 may compare the ambient humidity value with a preset humidity threshold, and supply power to the transmitting wire coil 120 in response to the ambient humidity value being less than or equal to the preset humidity threshold. The greater absolute difference between the preset humidity threshold and the ambient humidity value, the greater a power supply voltage of the first control circuit 130 to the transmitting wire coil 120. Thus the ambient humidity value can reach the present humidity threshold as soon as possible. For example, if the present humidity threshold is 50%, and the humidity sensor 140 detects that the ambient humidity value is 45%, the first control circuit 130 is configured to supply power to the transmitting wire coil 120 to make the humidifier start to work. When the humidity sensor 140 detects that the ambient humidity value exceeds 50%, the first control circuit 130 stops supplying power to the transmitting wire coil 120, and the humidifier stops working.

[0029] In the embodiment, the humidifier may include a humidifier shell 210, a receiving wire coil 220 and a second control circuit 230. A second accommodating space 211 is defined inside the humidifier shell 210. The receiving wire coil 220 and the second control circuit 230 are arranged in the second accommodating space 211. The receiving wire coil 220 is arranged above a bottom of the humidifier shell 210. The second control circuit 230 is configured to control the receiving wire coil 220 to receive the wireless power transmission signals from the fan 100.

[0030] In the embodiment, the fan base 110 and the humidifier shell 210 can be made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. The ABS plastic can avoid interference and shielding effect on magnetic field generated by the transmitting wire coil 120 and the receiving wire coil 220 while ensuring insulation.

[0031] The fan 100 may further include a receiving circuit 150. The receiving circuit 150 is configured to receive state parameters of the wireless power receiving device 200 from the wireless power receiving device 200. The first control circuit 130 may further generate a power adjustment instruction according to state parameters received by the receiving circuit 150, and adjust the power of the wireless power transmission signals according to the power adjustment instruction.

[0032] Specifically, the state parameters received by the receiving circuit 150 may include a current working voltage, a current working current and target power of the wireless power receiving device 200, or the state parameters received by the receiving circuit 150 may include the current working voltage, the current working current of the wireless power receiving device 200 and a target voltage and a target current generated according to the target power. The first control circuit 130 may further generate the target voltage and the target current according to target power received by the receiving circuit 150, and then generate the power adjustment instruction according to a current working voltage, a current working current, the target voltage and the target current, or generate the power adjustment instruction according to a current working voltage, a current working current, a target voltage and a target current received by the receiving circuit 150.

[0033] For example, referring to FIG. 4 together, in the embodiment, the humidifier may further include a first state detection circuit 240 and a transmitting circuit 250. The first state detection circuit 240 is configured to detect state parameters of the humidifier. The second control circuit 230 is further configured to generate the power adjustment instruction according to the state parameters. The transmitting circuit 250 is configured to transmit the state parameters or the power adjustment instruction to the fan 100.

[0034] Specifically, a first state detection circuit 240 of the humidifier detects that a current working voltage of the humidifier is V1 and a current working current of the humidifier is 11. The second control circuit 230 is configured to generate the target voltage VA1 and the target current IA1 according to target power of the humidifier. A transmitting circuit 250 of the humidifier transmits the current working voltage V1 and the current working current 11 of the humidifier, the target voltage VA1 and the target current IA1 of the humidifier to a receiving circuit 150 of the fan 100. The first control circuit 130 calculates values of V1-VA1 and I1-IA1 respectively. If the values are positive, the power adjustment instruction is generated to reduce the power of the wireless power transmission signals. If the values are negative, the power adjustment instruction is generated to increase the power of the wireless power transmission signals. If the values are 0, there is no need to generate the power adjustment instruction.

[0035] In other embodiments, the receiving circuit 150 of the fan 100 can also be configured to receive a power adjustment instruction generated by the wireless power receiving device 200 according to the state parameters from the wireless power receiving device 200. The first control circuit 130 may further directly adjust the power of the wireless power transmission signals according to a power adjustment instruction received by the receiving circuit 150.

[0036] For example, the first state detection circuit 240 of the humidifier detects that the current working voltage of the humidifier is V1 and the current working current of the humidifier is 11. The second control circuit 230 is configured to generate the target voltage VA1 and the target current IA1 according to the target power of the humidifier, and further calculate the values of V1-VA1 and I1-IA1 to generate the power adjustment instruction. The transmitting circuit 250 of the humidifier transmits the power adjustment instruction to the receiving circuit 150 of the fan 100.

[0037] In the embodiment, state parameters detected by the first state detection circuit 240 may also include at least one or a combination of the current working voltage, the current working current and current working temperature of the humidifier. The second control circuit 230 is further configured to compare the at least one or the combination with a corresponding protection threshold, and generate a protection instruction in response to the at least one or the combination being greater than the corresponding protection threshold. The transmitting circuit 250 of the humidifier transmits the protection instruction to the receiving circuit 150 of the fan 100, and the first control circuit 130 further reduces the power of the wireless power transmission signals or stops the power supply to the transmitting wire coil 120 according to the protection instruction.

[0038] For example, the first state detection circuit 240 detects that the current working voltage of the humidifier is VI, the current working current is 11, the current working temperature is T1, a preset protection voltage is VH1, a protection current is IH1, and protection temperature is TH1. The second control circuit 230 is configured to generate the protection instruction when any one of V1 > VH1, 11 > IH1, T1 > TH1 is established.

[0039] In other embodiments, the state parameters received by the receiving circuit 150 may also include at least one or a combination of the current working voltage, the current working current and the current working temperature of the wireless power receiving device 200. The first control circuit 130 is further configured to compare the at least one or the combination with a corresponding protection threshold and reduce the power of the wireless power transmission signals or stop power supply to the transmitting wire coil 120 in response to the protection threshold being greater than the corresponding protection threshold.

[0040] In the embodiment, the fan 100 may further include a second state detection circuit 160. The second state detection circuit 160 can also be configured to detect at least one or a combination of a current working voltage, a current working current and current working temperature of the fan 100. The first control circuit 130 is further configured to compare the at least one or the combination with a corresponding protection threshold, and reduce the power of the wireless power transmission signal or stop power supply to the transmitting wire coil 120 in response to the at least one or the combination being greater than the corresponding protection threshold.

[0041] For example, the second state detection circuit 160 detects that current working voltage of the fan 100 is V2, the current working current of the fan 100 is 12, the current working temperature of the fan 100 is T2, a preset protection voltage is VH2, a protection current is IH2, protection temperature is TH2. The first control circuit 130 reduces the power of wireless power transmission signals or stop power supply to the transmitting wire coil 120 in response to any one of V2 > VH2, I2 > IH2, T2 > TH2 being established.

[0042] In the embodiment, the thickness of the receiving area 112 is d1, a bottom thickness of the humidifier shell 210 is d2, a sum of d1 and d2 is the distance between the transmitting wire coil 120 and the receiving wire coil 220, and the sum of d1 and d2 is set to be less than or equal to 10 mm to make the distance between the transmitting wire coil 120 and the receiving wire coil 220 less than or equal to 10 mm, such as 7mm, 9mm or 10mm.

[0043] In the embodiment, the upper surface of the fan base 110 may also be provided with an identification (not shown in the figure). The identification is configured to identify the receiving area 112 to avoid excessive offset of a position of the receiving wire coil 220 of the wireless power receiving device 200 relative to a position of the transmitting wire coil 120 of the fan 100. An area of the transmitting wire coil 120 is set to be greater than or equal to an area of the receiving wire coil 220. Thus when the receiving wire coil 220 is offset from the transmitting wire coil 120, the power and efficiency of the wireless power transmission signals can still be guaranteed.

[0044] In the embodiment, the second state detection circuit 160 detects the current working voltage of the fan 100, and the receiving circuit 150 receives the current working voltage of the wireless power receiving device 200 from the wireless power receiving device 200. The first control circuit 130 is further configured to compare the current working voltage of the fan 100 with the current working voltage of the wireless power receiving device 200, and generate a prompt signal for repositioning the wireless power receiving device 200 in response to difference between the current working voltage of the fan 100 and the current working voltage of the wireless power receiving device 200 being greater than a preset difference threshold. Thus in response to offset of the position of the receiving wire coil 220 of the wireless power receiving device 200 relative to the position of the transmitting wire coil 120 of the fan 100 being excessive, the prompt signal can remind users in time and reduce invalid output of the wireless power transmission signals.

[0045] In other embodiments, the wireless power receiving device 200 can also be an electrical appliance such as a mobile phone, an electric toothbrush, and the like. The wireless power receiving device 200 is provided with the receiving wire coil to receive the wireless power transmission signals from the fan 100 to realize the power supply to the wireless power receiving device 200.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in another embodiment, the receiving area 112 of the fan base 110 can also be provided with a positioning clip 113 configured to position the wireless power receiving device 200. A bottom of the wireless power receiving device 200 can also be provided with a groove 212 corresponding to the positioning clip 113. Positioning the wireless power receiving device 200 through the positioning clip 113 can more effectively avoid the excessive offset of the position of the receiving wire coil 220 of the wireless power receiving device 200 relative to the position of the transmitting wire coil 120 of the fan 100.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 7, the humidifier of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the humidifier shell 210, the receiving wire coil 220 and the control circuit 230. For structures of the humidifier shell 210, the receiving wire coil 220 and the control circuit 230, please refer to the humidifier shell 210, the receiving wire coil 220 and the second control circuit 230 in the fan embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0048] In other embodiments, the humidifier can also receive the wireless power transmission signals from other wireless power transmission devices, such as a wireless charging stand, and the like.

[0049] The embodiment of the present disclosure can receive the wireless power transmission signals of the wireless power transmission device at a bottom of the humidifier for operation, thus expanding the application scope of the wireless transmission technology and making power supply of the humidifier more convenient and safe.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 3, an air conditioning system of one embodiment of the present disclosure includes the fan 100 and the humidifier as the wireless power receiving device 200. For structures of the fan 100 and the humidifier, please refer to the fan of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] The embodiment of the present disclosure can realize the wireless power transmission of the fan to the humidifier by setting wire coils and the control circuits respectively in the fan and the humidifier, and can realize linkage between the fan and the humidifier, effectively adjust humidity and temperature of air, thus expanding the application scope of the wireless power transmission technology, and making the power supply of the humidifier more convenient and safe.
