Autonomous charging system and operating method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an autonomous charging system comprising: a charging pile 1, a guide post on the charging pile; a first charging module, a first relay, a first communication module; a second charging module, a second relay, and a second communication module. The first communication module and the first relay are arranged on the side of the guide post. The second charging module, the second communication module, and the second relay are arranged on the side of a guide block. The first communication module is in communication correspondence to the second communication module. The first charging module is in circuit correspondence to the second charging module. A robot base is provided with two guide blocks at intervals between which a guide groove is formed. The guide groove match the guide post in shape. The autonomous charging system can overcome errors caused by angle and position deviation during the charging and docking of a robot so as to guarantee that the robot can be successfully docked with the charging pile and that the charging pile is not in an alive state in the case of unreliable contact, thereby ensuring charging safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to related fields such as data communication and automatic control, and in particular to an autonomous charging system of a mobile robot and a working method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the 21st century, with the remarkable progress of artificial intelligence and sensor technology, autonomous mobile robots have played an increasingly important role in fields such as entertainment, housekeeping, and public places. However, due to the limitation of battery capacity, the continuous working time of mobile robots is often only a few hours, which cannot achieve the effect of long-term autonomous work. It needs human manual participation to charge it, which affects its work efficiency and increases the human burden. Therefore people hope that the mobile robot has the ability of self-charging. [0003] At present, there are mainly contact charging and non-contact charging in charging methods. Among them, contact chargin...

Problems solved by technology

However, this system cannot overcome the problem that the robot cannot be handed over smoothly due to the relative position and angle deviation between the robot and the charging pile during the docking process.
