Abstract: A wireless charging module includes a magnetic alignment component located higher in the Z axis than the transmitting coil, thereby enabling the magnetic alignment component to be closer to a mobile device positioned on a charging surface of the wireless charging module, which can provide better alignment between the transmitting coil of the wireless charging module and the receiving coil of the mobile device. In exemplary embodiments, the magnetic alignment component comprises a magnetic ring in a projection of a housing of the wireless charging module or embedded within a compliant/flexible cover configured to extend along a top portion of the wireless charging module. This can help ensure the magnet alignment components of the wireless charging module and the mobile device are close enough together to produce a sufficient magnetic force to pull the mobile device into proper alignment and provide superior alignment between the coils of the two devices.

Abstract: A wireless charging module includes a housing configured to support at least one coil module therein. The housing includes an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion. The upper housing portion includes at least one vent. The lower housing portion includes at least one vent. One or more ducts are provided within the housing. The one or more ducts are in communication with the at least one vent of the upper housing portion and the at least one vent of the lower housing portion. An airflow path is defined from the at least one vent of the upper housing portion through the one or more ducts to the at least one vent of the lower housing portion for allowing an air flow internally within the housing generally around and/or adjacent at least a portion of the at least one coil module supported within the housing.
