Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless charging device for a vehicle includes an external cover configured to be pivotally connected to an interior of a vehicle and including a wireless charger within the external cover; an internal cover movably connected to an inner surface of the external cover and configured to elastically support a power receiving device receiving electrical power transmitted by the wireless charging module; and at least one elastic joint elastically connecting the internal cover to the external cover.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A wireless charging device for a vehicle, comprising: an external cover configured to be pivotally connected to an interior of a vehicle and including a wireless charger within the external cover; an internal cover movably connected to an inner surface of the external cover and configured to elastically support a power receiving device receiving electrical power transmitted by the wireless charging module; and at least one elastic joint elastically connecting the internal cover to the external cover. 2 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the elastic joint is formed of a coil spring, one end of the elastic joint is connected to the external cover, and the other end of the elastic joint is connected to the internal cover. 3 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the internal cover is provided with at least one cut-out portion formed adjacently to an entrance into which the power receiving device is inserted. 4 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the external cover comprises a pair of side portions protruding from edges of a surface of the external cover toward the internal cover. 5 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the side portions of the external cover are disposed perpendicular to a pivot axis of the external cover. 6 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the internal cover comprises a pair of side portions protruding toward the external cover. 7 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the internal cover is in surface contact with the power receiving device and is configured to elastically support the power receiving device. 8 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic portion attached to an inner surface of the internal cover. 9 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the magnetic portion is configured of a ferrite sheet. 10 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the wireless charger comprises a coil portion including at least one coil, and a circuit portion electrically connected to the coil portion to control electrical power applied to the coil portion. 11 . The wireless charging device for a vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the coil portion and the circuit portion are provided in a form of a planar plate, and embedded in the external cover in an overlapping state. 12 . A wireless charging device for a vehicle comprising: an external cover configured to open or close an entrance of a storage space; an internal cover elastically connected to the external cover and configured to elastically support a power receiving device to maintain the power receiving device in surface contact with a surface of the external cover; and a wireless charger disposed within the external cover and configured to wirelessly transmit electrical power to the power receiving device.
