Embodiment Construction

[0045] In one embodiment, a supply charging device for a mobile device is provided. The supply charging device includes a supply power connector having a housing extending between a front and a rear. The power supply connector has a mating end at the front. The housing has a flange configured to mount to the panel. The housing has a base extending rearwardly from the flange through a panel cutout in the panel. The housing includes power contact channels extending through the base. The housing includes a guide member extending forward from the flange. The guide member engages the guide feature of the mobile device to position the receive power connector of the mobile device relative to the supply power connector of the mobile device. The supply power connector includes power contacts received in the power contact channels. The supply charging device includes a retaining plate coupled to the rear of the housing. A panel gap is defined between the retainer plate and the rea...

Abstract

A supply charging device (200) includes a supply power connector (210) having a housing (212) with a mating end (202) and a flange (214) configured to be mounted to a panel (106). The housing (212) includes power contact channels (218) extending through a base (216) receiving power contacts (220). The housing (212) includes a guide member (230) engaging a guide feature (330) of a mobile device (30) to locate a receiver power connector (310) relative to the supply power connector (210). The supply charging device (200) includes a retaining plate (270) securing the housing (212) to the panel (106). The supply charging device (200) includes a mounting spring (250, 252, 254) extending from the housing (212) and received in a panel cutout (120). The mounting spring (250, 252, 254) engages the panel (106) to allow the supply power connector (210) to float relative to the panel (106) within the panel cutout (120) for aligning the mating end (202) of the supply power connector (210) with the receiver power connector (310).

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter of this article generally relates to charging systems for mobile devices. Background technique [0002] Mobile devices, such as autonomous mobile robots, move around an environment to perform tasks. However, the mobile device needs to be recharged from time to time. The mobile device is returned to the charging device to power the mobile device and recharge the battery of the mobile device. When the mobile device is returned to the charging station, the charging connector of the mobile device needs to be aligned with the charging connector of the charging station. However, when the mobile device is out of alignment with the charging station, the mobile device can no longer charge. [0003] There remains a need for a charging system capable of aligning a charging connector of a mobile device with a charging connector of a charging station. Contents of the invention [0004] In one embodiment, a supply charging device for a mobil...
