Wireless Battery Charging Systems And Methods

摘要

Example systems and methods are described that wirelessly charge a rechargeable battery associated with a lock. In one implementation, a rechargeable battery is electrically coupled to an electronic lock module associated with a door corresponding to a door frame. An electronic control module associated with the door frame and physically separate from the electronic lock module generates a wireless charging link between the electronic control module and the electronic lock module. The electronic control module transmits a charging signal to the electronic lock module via the wireless charging link, and the electronic lock module uses this charging signal to charge the rechargeable battery. The implementation also includes a lock associated with the door that can be locked or unlocked by the electronic lock module.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
an electronic lock module associated with a door corresponding to a door frame; a rechargeable battery electrically coupled to the electronic lock module; an electronic control module associated with the door frame and physically separate from the electronic lock module, wherein the electronic control module is configured to generate a wireless charging link between the electronic control module and the electronic lock module, wherein the electronic control module transmits a charging signal to the electronic lock module via the wireless charging link, and wherein the electronic lock module uses the charging signal to charge the rechargeable battery; and a lock associated with the door that can be locked or unlocked by the electronic lock module.
