The Design

About Simple Trådløs lader

Simple er en trådløs lader designet for å lade flere elektroniske enheter samtidig. Den fleksible basen er laget av nylonstoff og inneholder en matrise av flere spoler, slik at en telefon kan plasseres hvor som helst på overflaten. En snellestruktur og en avtakbar lademodul gjør at laderen enkelt kan rulles sammen og oppbevares. Før bruk kobles snellen til strømforsyningen, som justerer og fordeler spenningsnivåer for ulike enheter. Etter lading trekkes snellen til enden og ruller seg automatisk tilbake.

Unique Properties: Simple wireless charger is a kind of free wireless charging device which chooses flexible materials as the base. Its internal core is arranged in multi-coil matrix to increase charging efficiency. The whole system adopts reel structure and detachable charging module,which is easy to be stored and breaks the restrictions of the use scene. The flexible charging base module breaks through the traditional magnetic adsorption charging base structure.
Dimensions & Packaging: 3000mm*4500mm*4700mm
Tags: Multifunction，Modularization，Portable design
Production Technology: Simple wireless charger chooses nylon fabric as the main body of flexible material, its internal core uses multi-coil structure and WPT system. By optimizing the coil structure, increasing the permeability of the medium on the transmission channel and changing the spatial arrangement of the coil, the coupling coefficient of the coupling mechanism can be further improved, and the number of loads can be increased, so as to realize the function of charging multiple devices at the same time and improve the efficiency of users.
Design Challenge: This design project focuses on the subjective initiative and unconscious actions of hands-on experimental users in the process of using wireless charging devices, and analyzes the different needs of users in different usage scenarios. The difficulty of this design project lies in in-depth understanding of the logical relationship between product structure and the needs, pain points and functions summarized in the experiment. And realize and harmonize the rationality and fit of the logical relation.
Research: As a new form of charging, wireless charging has many possibilities. It breaks the existing single wireless charger mode in the market and satisfies the wireless charging of multiple electronic devices at the same time, which is a new demand of wireless charging equipment. The design of Simple wireless charger uses flexible materials as the charging base, and the overall form is such as drawing shaft and bamboo, which can realize the user's demand of charging multiple devices at the same time, and enlarge the user's freedom in the use process, improve the charging efficiency and enrich the use scenario.
Inspiration: At present, most of the existing wireless charging devices are single coils, which cannot meet the needs of users to charge multiple electronic devices at the same time, which limits users' usage scenarios. Therefore, a new wireless charger is urgently needed to meet users' demand for charging multiple devices in use scenarios, and to free users' unconscious actions when using wireless charging devices.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2022 at in fushun, liaoning province, China, and finished in October 2023 at in fushun, liaoning province China.
Operation Flow: Before charging, the soft reel is connected to the power supply to adjust and distribute voltage levels to meet the charging requirements of different electronic devices; During the charging process, the mobile phone can be placed at any position on the flexible base, which can reduce the bondage feeling of users' unconscious behavior in the process of using wireless charging devices. After the end of charging, pull the reel to the end to automatically spring back and roll up for easy storage. The whole process is free, efficient and convenient.
