Abstract

A vehicle-mounting charging apparatus includes a body case adapted to be mounted to a ceiling part of a vehicle, and a charging coil for contactless charging that is provided in the body case. A shielding part for shielding electromagnetic waves is provided on a lower side of the charging coil.

Claims (17)

1. A vehicle-mounting charging apparatus, comprising:

a body case adapted to be mounted to a ceiling part of a vehicle; and

a charging coil for contactless charging that is provided in the body case,

wherein a shielding part for shielding electromagnetic waves is provided on a lower side of the charging coil,

wherein the body case is adapted to be mounted to an overhead console part or a rearview mirror part of the vehicle,

wherein a light shielding part is provided at a portion of the body case facing a portion which is located near the ceiling portion of the vehicle and through which the electromagnetic wave passes.

2. The vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding part shields the electromagnetic waves emitted from the charging coil so as to prevent a predetermined amount or more of electromagnetic wave from passing through a lower surface of the body case.

3. The vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding part faces a windshield of the vehicle.

4. The vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an installation base on which a mobile terminal to be charged by the charging coil is installed is provided in the body case;

wherein a stopper which restricts an installation position of the mobile terminal is provided on the installation base;

wherein the stopper is provided on a portion of the installation base facing the light shielding part.

5. The vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the installation base is provided with a slope;

wherein a first opening is provided on a wall surface of the body case located at a lower side of the slope of the installation base and a second opening is provided on a top surface of the body case located at an upper side of the slope of the installation base; and

wherein the first opening is provided at a position lower than the stopper which restricts the installation position of the mobile terminal installed on the installation base.

6. The vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the body case is provided with a door to allow entrance of the mobile terminal, and the door shields the electromagnetic wave.

7. A vehicle comprising the vehicle-mounting charging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle-mounting charging apparatus is provided on the ceiling part of a vehicle interior.

8. The vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the vehicle-mounting charging apparatus is mounted to an overhead console part or a rearview mirror part of the vehicle interior.
