Automatic charge system and automatic charge method

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic charge system and an automatic charge method. The automatic charge system comprises a mechanical arm, a charge interface position and posture recognition module, acharge device and a controller. The charge interface position and posture recognition module is fixedly arranged relative to a fixed end of the mechanical arm; the controller is used for acquiring spatial positions and postures, which are recognized by the charge interface position and posture recognition module, of a charge interface; the fixed end of the mechanical arm can move under the controlof the controller according to the spatial positions and postures of the charge interface, so that a charge connector can be inserted in the charge interface; a vehicle can be charged by the charge device under the control of the controller. The automatic charge system and the automatic charge method have the advantages that the vehicle use experience and the operational safety of electric vehicles and rental electric vehicles in particular can be greatly improved by the aid of the automatic charge system and the automatic charge method; the problem of power shortage of vehicles due to the fact that users forget to charge the vehicles can be solved, and the use rate of the rental electric vehicles can be particularly increased; automatic charge for the electric vehicles can be combined with other automatic facilities to form complete automatic service systems for the electric vehicles, and intelligence can be sufficiently implemented; manual participation can be omitted in whole procedures, and the later maintenance cost can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of charging, in particular to an automatic charging system and method for automatically identifying a charging interface and automatically inserting a charging connector into the charging interface. Background technique [0002] The rise of the time-sharing rental business of electric vehicles has brought convenience to the people to a certain extent. Users can easily take public electric vehicles, and the point of taking and returning the car does not need to be consistent, which meets the needs of users for travel, and It is very flexible to use. [0003] However, one problem encountered by the existing time-sharing rental of electric vehicles is the inconvenience of charging. The limited number of charging piles in the parking lot has a negative impact on the battery life of electric vehicles, and also hinders the development of the time-sharing rental business of electric vehicles to a certain extent. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When using this kind of charging pile, the user needs to manually unplug the charging gun from the charging pile after parking, and insert it into the charging interface of the electric vehicle for charging. The convenience of time-sharing rental of electric vehicles

At the same time, it may also be caused by improper operation by some users, which may easily cause damage to the charging gun, resulting in failure to charge in the future, resulting in an increase in subsequent maintenance costs.
