Automatic charging system based on snakelike-simulated mechanical arm and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic charging system based on a snakelike-simulated mechanical arm. The automatic charging system comprises the snakelike-simulated mechanical arm, a charging device and a control system, and further comprises all control and execution modules, the control and execution modules are mutually matched, and whether to-be-charged vehicles exist or not can be automatically induced through a vehicle induction module; a charging-port pre-alignment module identifies charging ports through installed sensors, and general orientations of the charging ports are preliminarilycalculated; a main control module of a microcomputer is prepared, and is installed in a charging pile base, and the main control module controls the mechanical arm to clamp charging guns to move in the pre-alignment direction; an accurate alignment module of a snakehead-simulated joint accurately determines positions of the charging ports through the corresponding sensors and charges the to-be-charged vehicles. According to the automatic charging system based on the snakelike-simulated mechanical arm, vehicle using experiences of new-energy vehicles and automatic guide vehicles are greatly improved, the automatic charging requirements of automatic sites such as automatic-parking-place vehicles are met, a complete automatic parking and automatic inter-vehicle service system is formed, thelabor cost is greatly reduced, and the running efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of charging for intelligent vehicles and machines, and relates to charging technologies such as new energy vehicles, automatic guided vehicles (AGV), automatic handling robots, automatic service robots, and automatic industrial robots, especially based on a single snake-like mechanical arm An automatic charging system and method for controlling multiple charging guns, automatically identifying a charging port to select a charging gun, and automatically inserting the charging gun into the charging port. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, new energy vehicle technology has been vigorously developed, the production and sales of various brands of new energy vehicles have increased significantly, and the number of new energy vehicles in my country has surged. The popularity of electric vehicles, charging technology is a key factor. On the other hand, machine products such as automatic guided vehicles and aut...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] First of all, the vast majority of charging piles on the market are manually operated by the user. Due to the unfamiliarity of the user, it is easy to cause misoperation during manual operation, which brings more safety hazards, easily causing damage to the charging device and even leakage. Serious problem; secondly, one parking space in the existing parking lot corresponds to one charging pile, and the charging efficiency is low

Under the development trend of intelligent transportation, automatic parking lot is a major trend, so it is necessary to provide automatic charging devices to complement; moreover, for automatic guided vehicles (AGV), automatic handling robots, automatic service robots and other machines, Most of the operating environments are complex, with a large number of operating machines and high energy consumption. If the frequent charging and discharging process is all manually operated, it will bring huge labor costs and lead to low operating efficiency.
