moll QI-Charger
Bye-bye cable, hello induction.
The spirit of development and the art of engineering – this is what moll has stood for, at the latest since its invention of the height-adjustable children’s desk in 1974. moll has since then repeatedly realised new innovative ideas and brought them onto the market.
The latest coup was achieved by the in-house development department with the QI-Charger for the models moll T7, moll T5 and moll Champion.
Everyday life in the digital age is determined by a number of smart helpers – both in professional and private life. However, they only develop their skills when they are charged and all too often the next power supply is out of sight or can only be reached via metre-long cables. To solve this problem in an elegant way is moll’s declared aim by integrating the QI-Charger into the table top. Gone are the days when different devices required separate cables for charging. No more fiddling with cables. The optional QI-Charger makes “invisible” wireless charging by induction of electronic devices possible.
The QI-Charger can be easily integrated into the table top. To do so, it is mounted in the pre-installed device in the table top and plugged into the mains. As soon as a device is placed on the charger, it transmits the current through the table top and the device begins to charge. For the smartphone to charge wirelessly, it must be placed directly on the charging station. The reason for this is that the coils in the smartphone and the charger must lie directly on top of each other. However, this only works if the smartphone is close enough to the charger. There must not be more than three millimetres between the charger and the smartphone. Once the device is charged, the transmitter and receiver switch to standby mode. This has the great advantage that the QI charging station only transmits energy when activated if there is a compatible device on the charging station that requires energy.
In the meantime, more and more mobile phones support the QI standard for wireless charging. The list of current QI-enabled mobile phones can be found here.
