With the increasing use of portable devices, the safety and efficiency of wireless chargers have become significant concerns. Wireless chargers can cause battery damage, deformation, and failure of the charging module due to the high temperatures generated during the charging process. Thus, the importance of thermal management has been increasingly emphasized. In this study, we experimentally confirmed that cooling performance was improved by applying phase change material (PCM) to the heat-generating parts of the wireless charger. The cooling performance of the PCM was analyzed using Ansys Fluent, the component temperature was measured with an infrared camera, and 3D thermal deformation was measured with a DIC measurement device. Electromagnetic field, thermal, fluid, and structural coupled analyses were performed to investigate the impact of thermal deformation caused by wireless charging. The results showed that the temperature and deformation error was within 3% of the coupled analysis results, and the proposed electromagneticthermal-fluid-structural coupled analysis enabled more accurate simulation prediction of the physical coupling process inside the wireless charger.
