Wireless charging pad with evaporative cooling

A charging apparatus for charging an electronic device, comprising:

• a first sensor configured to measure or detect a temperature of the electronic device;
• at least one of a blower, a bypass valve or a vent configured to adjust the temperature of the electronic device or a temperature of a surface of a charging pad;
• one or more pipes (i) disposed within or below the surface of the charging pad, (ii) surrounding a perimeter of the charging pad for charging of the electronic device, and (iii) configured to circulate a medium for the adjustment of the temperature of the electronic device or the temperature of the surface of the charging pad, and
• a processor coupled to the first sensor and the at least one of the blower, the bypass valve or the vent and configured to:
• determine that the temperature of the electronic device is greater than or equal to a maximum threshold temperature, and
• control the at least one of the blower, the bypass valve or the vent to control the circulation of the medium through the one or more pipes and decrease the temperature of the electronic device or the temperature of the surface of the charging pad when the temperature of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold temperature.

A method for adjusting a temperature of a charging pad within a vehicle, comprising:

• measuring or detecting, by a temperature sensor, a temperature of the charging pad;
• determining, by a processor, that the temperature of the charging pad is greater than a first threshold temperature or less than a second threshold temperature;
• and
• decreasing, by the processor and using at least one of a blower, a bypass valve or a vent coupled to one or more pipes (i) disposed within or below a surface of a charging pad, (ii) surrounding a perimeter of the charging pad for charging a device, and (iii) configured to circulate a medium for the adjustment of the temperature of the charging pad, the temperature of the charging pad in response to the temperature of the charging pad being greater than the first threshold temperature.
