Charging system and charging method

Abstract

The invention provides a charging system and a charging method. The charging system and the charging method are used for butt joint charging between self-moving equipment and a charging station. The charging system comprises a butt joint device which comprises a first butt joint part arranged on a charging station and a second butt joint part arranged on self-moving equipment, and the first butt joint part is configured to be electrically connected with the second butt joint part; the judgment units are respectively arranged in the charging station and the self-moving equipment and are used for judging whether the charging station is successfully butted with the self-moving equipment or not; the control unit is connected with the judgment unit; the detection unit is arranged in the self-moving equipment and is used for detecting the state of a charging circuit of a battery assembly of the self-moving equipment; and when the judgment unit judges that the self-moving equipment is successfully butted with the charging station and the detection unit detects that the charging circuit of the battery assembly of the self-moving equipment is normal, the control unit controls the charging circuit of the charging station to be switched on to charge the self-moving equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a charging system and a charging method, belonging to the technical field of charging. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer and artificial intelligence technology, more and more self-moving devices similar to intelligent robots are applied to people's lives. For example, sweeping robots can automatically cruise indoors to complete cleaning, vacuuming, etc.; smart lawn mowers can automatically move on the lawn to complete garden maintenance work such as mowing; this way of working does not require manpower to manage, and users can be managed from Indoor cleaning, garden maintenance and other boring and time-consuming housework are liberated, which greatly facilitates people's daily life. [0003] The self-moving device can also automatically return to the charging station for charging when the battery power is low, and continue to perform work on the self-moving device after the charging is completed. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, most of the existing charging stations equipped with self-mobile devices start charging after judging that the self-mobile device is docked to the charging station, and when the battery power supply circuit in the self-mobile device fails to identify, the charging station still starts Charging will not only lead to the waste of charging energy, but also the charging current may further damage the circuit components in the charging station or self-mobile equipment in severe cases, bringing economic losses to users
