Wirelessly powered self-aligning lamp
View Patent ↗A wirelessly powered self-aligning lamp includes: a lampshade, which is at least partially made of a light-transmitting material; an individual component, which is movably arranged in the lampshade and on which a light source and a wireless power receiving coil are fixedly mounted, the receiving coil being used to power the light source; and a base fixedly provided with a wireless power transmitting coil that cooperates with the wireless power receiving coil of the individual component. When the lampshade is positioned at will on the base, the individual component in the lampshade has a movement trend relative to the base to align the receiving coil on the individual component with the transmitting coil on the base. In the lamp of the present application, the lampshade is internally provided with a gravity or magnetic adjustment mechanism that enables the power coil to be self-aligned.
1. A lamp comprising:
a lampshade, at least part of which is made of a light-transmitting material;
an independent unit, movably disposed in the lampshade, on which a light source and a wireless power supply receiver coil are fixedly mounted, wherein the wireless power supply receiver coil is configured to supply power to the light source; and
a base which is provided fixedly with a wireless power supply transmitter coil to be coupled with the wireless power supply receiver coil of the independent unit,
wherein when the lampshade is randomly positioned on the base, the independent unit in the lampshade has relative to the base a movement tendency which enables the wireless power supply receiver coil on the independent unit and the wireless power supply transmitter coil on the base to be aligned with each other, and
the lampshade is a closed or semi-closed lampshade, and the independent unit is shaped to be freely rollable along the inner wall of the lampshade.
2. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the independent unit has a transparent housing, and the light source and the wireless power supply receiver coil are both fixedly disposed in the transparent housing.
3. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the independent unit further comprises a partition plate fixedly secured in, and substantially separating the inner space of, the transparent housing, the partition plate is made of a light isolation material, and the light source is arranged on either side of the partition plate.
4. The lamp of claim 3 , wherein the lampshade is a spherical lampshade made of a light-transmitting material, and the transparent housing of the independent unit is a spherical housing with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the spherical lampshade.
5. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the base has a movable element on which is positioned the lampshade so that the lampshade is capable of being moved correspondingly through actuating the movable element of the base.
6. The lamp of claim 5 , wherein the base further comprises a motor for actuating the movable element to rotate.
7. The lamp of claim 6 , wherein the direction of rotation axis of the movable element is adjustable when the movable element is rotating relative to the base.
8. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lampshade has a substantially spherical uneven outer surface.
9. The lamp of claim 8 , wherein the lampshade is designed to be a celestial body selected from the group consisting of moon, earth, other planets and asteroids.
10. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the movement tendency results from gravity of the independent unit per se.
11. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the independent unit and the base are each provided with a magnetic member, and the movement tendency results from a magnetic attraction force generated between the magnetic members.
12. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lampshade is a spherical lampshade divided into two halves, one half is less than the other half in light transmittance.
13. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lampshade is a molded piece and/or a 3D printed piece.
14. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the independent unit in the lampshade is further provided fixedly with a magnet, and the base is in the form of a magnetic levitator, so that the independent unit and thus the lampshade is capable of being levitated above the base through being positioned by the magnet.
15. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the independent unit is further provided fixedly with a rechargeable battery which is capable of being charged through the wireless power supply receiver coil and is capable of being supply power to the light source.
16. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the base is in the form of a tripod with three V-shaped supporting legs being connected to each other, and comprises an upper housing and a lower housing between which the wireless power supply transmitter coil is positively sandwiched.
