Wirelessly charging hair clipper
View Patent ↗A wirelessly charging hair clipper is provided. The hair clipper includes a housing that includes a plurality of blades that are driven by an electric motor to allow the plurality of blades to oscillate from side to side relative to one another to cut hair. The housing supports a receiving assembly that is electromagnetically coupled to a transmitting assembly of a charging platform to form an inductive charging system. The housing of the hair clipper is configured to be placed against the charging platform, wherein the transmitting assembly transmits a current by an electromagnetic field to the receiving assembly to recharge a battery electrically connected to the receiving assembly, thereby wirelessly charging the hair clipper. The wirelessly charging hair clipper is configured to prevent clutter by eliminating electrical wires that are constantly entangled.
1. A wirelessly charging hair clipper system, consisting of:
a clipper housing having a proximal end and a distal end forming an interior volume;
said proximal end including a plurality of blades that are driven by an electric motor stored within said interior volume configured to cut hair;
said distal end including a handle configured to be hand gripped by a user;
an inductive charging system comprising a receiving assembly and a transmitting assembly;
a power source electrically coupled to said transmitting assembly;
wherein said inductive charging system is configured to wirelessly charge by receiving power from said power source;
wherein said receiving assembly comprises a rechargeable battery, at least one receiver coil, and a receiver circuit;
wherein said alternating current flowing within said at least one transmitter coil induces a magnetic field that extends to said at least one receiver coil;
said magnetic field generates a current within said at least one receiver coil whereby energy is transmitted between said at least one transmitter coil to said at least one receiver coil;
said current flowing within said at least one receiver coil is converted into a direct current by said receiver circuit, which is then used to charge said rechargeable battery of said receiving assembly;
wherein said interior volume is configured to support said receiving assembly therein;
a charging platform configured to rest on a flat surface and support said transmitting assembly therein;
wherein said charging platform comprises a rear surface, at least one side, and a continuous planar top surface forming a chamber having an interior volume configured to store said transmitting assembly;
wherein said rear surface is placed against said flat surface;
wherein said planar top surface is configured to allow said wirelessly charging hair clipper to be placed thereagainst.
