Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Such as figure 1 As shown, the robot automatic charging device of the present invention includes a main control module 1 , a power connection module 2 , a mobile module 3 , a battery monitoring module 4 , an external image acquisition module 5 and a storage module 6 .

[0025] The power connection module 2 is used to connect with an external power socket to charge the rechargeable battery 8 inside the robot, and the power connection module can move up and down under the control of the main control module 1 . The mobile module 3 is used to drive the robot to move. The moving module 3 includes components such as a drive motor and moving wheels. The battery monitoring module 4 monitors the power of the rechargeable battery, and sends a charging request signal to the main control module 1 when it detects that the power of the battery is lower than a preset referen...

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot automatic charging device and a robot automatic charging method. The robot automatic charging device comprises a power supply connecting module, a moving module, a battery monitoring module, an external image acquisition module, a storage module and a master control module, wherein after receiving a charging request signal, the master control module controls the external image acquisition module to acquire images in the ambient environment of the robot, searches images matched with reference images of an external power supply socket from the acquired images and judges whether the external power supply socket exists or not, if yes, the position of the power supply connecting module relative to the external power supply socket is calculated, and the moving module is controlled to drive a robot to move toward the external power supply socket so as to enable the power supply connecting module and the external power supply socket to be aligned and connected with each other. According to the invention, the robot can complete charging automatically without manual intervention when the electricity quantity of a charging battery is not enough. The robot automatic charging device is suitable for any existing alternating-current power supply socket.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic charging device for a robot and an automatic charging method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, more and more robot products have been applied in the field of life services. Among these robotic products, a large part uses rechargeable batteries as a power source. When the power of the rechargeable battery is insufficient, the user needs to connect the rechargeable battery to an external power source to complete charging. This will not only increase the user's workload, but also, in a working environment with a shortage of manpower, once the rechargeable battery is insufficient and fails to find out in time, it will cause the robot to stop working, thereby affecting work efficiency. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic charging device for a robot and an automatic charging method thereof, so that the robot can qui...
