[0030] First embodiment:

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in a first embodiment of the present invention applied to a rechargeable vehicle 100 .

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a waterproof charging mechanism 10, which has the characteristics of high safety. The waterproof charging mechanism 10 can be applied to a rechargeable vehicle 100, an outdoor charging pile, and an outdoor charging device.

[0033] In which, taking the waterproof charging mechanism 10 applied to a rechargeable vehicle 100 as an example, the rechargeable vehicle 100 includes the waterproof charging mechanism 10 to be electrically connected to the outside, and the rechargeable vehicle 100 may also include a vehicle body 50, and the waterproof charging mechanism 10 is arranged on the side of the vehicle body 50 to reduce the probability of rainwater and the like entering the vehicle body 50. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rechargeable vehicle 100 is an electric tractor, and in other embodiments, the rechargeable vehicle 100 may also be other types of vehicles, such as an AGV (Automated Guided ehicle) for transporting autonomous navigation.

[0034] Since the rechargeable vehicle 100 adopts the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, the rechargeable vehicle 100 also has the characteristic of high safety.

[0035] The following will specifically introduce the structural composition, working principle and beneficial effects of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic structural diagram of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention at a first viewing angle. Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention at a second viewing angle.

[0037] The waterproof charging mechanism 10 includes a first charging docking plate 12, an opening and closing drive member 14, a fixed plate 11 and a water baffle 13. The water baffle 13 is arranged to be in contact with the fixed plate 11 so as to scrape off water droplets on the outer side of the water baffle 13 when opened to prevent water droplets from falling onto the external charging docking components, thereby improving the safety of the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0038] The fixing plate 11 is connected to the vehicle body 50 , and one side of the fixing plate 11 is a charging installation side 115 , which faces the vehicle body 50 , and a charging opening 111 is also provided on the fixing plate 11 , while the first charging docking plate 12 is arranged on the charging installation side 115 and corresponds to the charging opening 111 . In other words, the first charging docking plate 12 is located inside the vehicle body 50 and corresponds to the charging opening 111 .

[0039] The water baffle 13 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 11 and is located on the charging installation side 115. A wiper portion 112 is also provided on the charging installation side 115. The opening and closing drive member 14 is respectively connected to the water baffle 13 and the fixed plate 11, and the opening and closing drive member 14 is constructed to be able to drive the water baffle 13 to slide along the charging installation side 115 to close or open the charging opening 111, and, when the water baffle 13 slides along the charging installation side 115, the wiper portion 112 slides over the side of the water baffle 13 close to the charging installation side 115. In other words, when the opening and closing drive member 14 drives the water baffle 13 to slide along the charging installation side 115, the water baffle 13 moves relative to the wiper portion 112, and the wiper portion 112 is located between the fixed plate 11 and the water baffle, and slides over the side of the water baffle 13 facing the external space of the vehicle body 50.

[0040] In this way, when the opening and closing driving member 14 drives the water baffle plate 13 to slide along the charging installation side 115, and water is attached to the side of the water baffle plate 13 close to the charging installation side 115, the wiper portion 112 will scrape off the water drops on the water baffle plate 13 when the water baffle plate 13 slides relative to the fixed plate 11, so as to automatically scrape off the water on the water baffle plate 13 during the opening process, thereby preventing water droplets from falling onto the charging docking component, thereby improving the safety of the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0041] Further, the wiper portion 112 may be the lower edge of the charging opening 111, and the lower edge of the charging opening 111 is fitted with the water baffle 13, and the opening and closing drive member 14 is configured to be able to drive the water baffle 13 to slide up from the lower edge of the charging opening 111 along the charging installation side 115 to close the charging opening 111, or drive the water baffle 13 to slide down from the charging opening 111 along the charging installation side 115 to open the charging opening 111. In other words, the water baffle 13 is arranged below the charging opening 111, and can slide up and down driven by the opening and closing drive member 14 to close or open the charging opening 111.

[0042] In this way, when the water baffle 13 moves down to open the charging opening 111, the lower edge of the charging opening 111 will scrape off the water on the water baffle 13, so that the water on the water baffle 13 is scraped to the lower edge of the charging opening 111. Even if there is residual water on the lower edge of the charging opening 111, it is not easy to drip onto the charging docking component extending from the charging opening 111, further preventing water droplets from dripping onto the external charging docking component, thereby improving the safety of the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0043] Furthermore, a water guiding slope 113 may be provided at the lower edge of the charging opening 111, and the water guiding slope 113 extends obliquely downward from the charging installation side 115. In other words, the water guiding slope 113 is inclined and biased toward the side of the fixing plate 11 away from the charging installation side 115. When the water on the water baffle 13 is scraped to the lower edge of the charging opening 111, the water on the lower edge of the charging opening 111 will also slide along the water guiding slope 113 to the outside of the vehicle body 50 under the action of gravity, thereby preventing the external charging docking components extending from the charging opening 111 from being stained by the water on the lower edge of the charging opening 111, thereby further improving the safety of the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a holding wheel 15, which is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 11 and is located on the charging installation side 115 of the fixed plate 11, and the holding wheel 15 is constructed to press the water baffle plate 13 on the charging installation side 115 when the water baffle plate 13 slides along the charging installation side 115. In other words, the water baffle plate 13 is located between the charging installation side 115 and the holding wheel 15 to press the water baffle plate 13 on the charging installation side 115 so that the edge of the charging opening 111 can fully scrape off the water on the water baffle plate 13 and maintain the sealing of the water baffle plate 13 to close the charging opening 111.

[0045] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention at a third viewing angle.

[0046] The waterproof charging mechanism 10 may further include a first mounting frame 16, which is connected to the charging mounting side 115 and forms a charging space (not shown) with the fixing plate 11 having an opening for charging opening 111. The first charging docking plate 12 is arranged in the charging space and mounted on the first mounting frame 16, so as to set the first charging docking plate 12 at a position on the charging mounting side 115 corresponding to the charging opening 111.

[0047] The opening and closing drive member 14 is mounted on the first mounting frame 16 and is located on a side of the first mounting frame 16 away from the first charging docking plate 12, and is arranged along a side of the first mounting frame 16 away from the first charging docking plate 12, and the free end of the opening and closing drive member 14 is connected to the water baffle 13 to lift or lower the water baffle 13. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the opening and closing drive member 14 is an electric telescopic rod, and in other embodiments, the opening and closing drive member 14 can also be a pneumatic, oil-driven or pulley transmission mechanism.

[0048] Furthermore, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a slide rail 131 and a slide platform 132, and the water baffle 13 is connected to the first mounting frame 16 in turn through the slide rail 131 and the slide platform 132 to slide the water baffle 13 to the charging mounting side 115, thereby improving the stability of the water baffle 13 sliding along the charging mounting side 115.

[0049] In addition, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a closed position sensor 133 and an open position sensor 134, which are both arranged on the first mounting frame 16 and are both electrically connected to the opening and closing drive 14. When the opening and closing drive 14 drives the water baffle 13 to move, when the water baffle 13 descends to the position of opening the charging opening 111, some components on the water baffle 13 correspond to the open position sensor 134, and the open position sensor 134 detects some components on the water baffle 13 and stops the opening and closing drive 14 from driving the water baffle 13 downward, and when the opening and closing drive 14 drives the water baffle 13 to rise to the position of closing the charging opening 111, some components on the water baffle 13 correspond to the closed position sensor 133, and the closed position sensor 133 detects some components on the water baffle 13 and stops the opening and closing drive 14 from driving the water baffle 13 upward, so as to smoothly open or close the charging opening 111. The closed position sensor 133 and the open position sensor 134 may be position sensors such as photoelectric switches.

[0050] It should be noted that the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a first main controller (not shown), which is respectively connected to the closed position sensor 133, the open position sensor 134 and the opening and closing drive 14 to control the opening and closing drive 14 to drive the water baffle 13 to move, or control the opening and closing drive 14 to drive the water baffle 13 to move according to the position information detected by the closed position sensor 133 or the open position sensor 134.

[0051] It is understandable that the main controller mentioned in the specific implementation method can also be a general-purpose processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), a voice processor, and a video processor, etc.; it can also be a digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit, a field programmable gate array or other programmable logic devices, discrete gates or transistor logic devices, and discrete hardware components. The main controller can also be any conventional processor, such as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), a single-chip microcomputer, etc. Of course, the main controller can also be a relay contactor control system, which uses a combination of control electrical appliances such as switches, relays, and buttons to receive signals and perform functions such as line switching, switching, and adjustment.

[0052] Furthermore, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a plurality of first positioning wheels 135, some of which are connected to the fixing plate 11 and are located at the upper edge of the charging opening 111, and some of which are arranged on the first mounting frame 16 and are located at the lower edge of the charging opening 111, so as to respectively limit the range of upward and downward movement of the water retaining plate 13.

[0053] Further, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include a first docking position sensor 17, which is arranged on the first mounting frame 16 and is arranged toward the charging opening 111, and is used to detect whether the external charging docking component is located outside the charging opening 111 and is roughly aligned with the charging opening 111. The first docking position sensor 17 may be a receiving end or a transmitting end in a photoelectric switch, and when it receives a signal from the external charging docking component or when the corresponding external charging docking sensor in the transmitted signal receives it, it indicates that the external charging docking component is located outside the charging opening 111 and is roughly aligned with the charging opening 111, so as to complete the preliminary positioning work. Of course, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also match the external charging docking component through the first docking position sensor 17. The first docking position sensor 17 may also be electrically connected to the first main controller, so that the first main controller controls the first docking position sensor 17 to transmit a signal or controls the opening and closing driving member 14 according to the signal received by the first docking position sensor 17. In this way, the rechargeable vehicle 100 can accurately complete the stop at the target location to complete the docking work with the charging docking component, thereby realizing the function of automatic charging.

[0054] Furthermore, the waterproof charging mechanism 10 may also include two guide plates 18, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the first charging docking plate 12, and the guide plates 18 are arranged at an angle with the fixing plate 11, so that when the external charging docking component extends into the charging opening 111 and is not aligned with the first charging docking plate 12, the external charging docking component will abut against the guide plates 18, and when the external charging docking component further extends into the charging port, it will slide along the guide plates 18 toward the first charging docking plate 12, so that the external charging docking component is docked with the first charging docking plate 12. The stability of the docking between the first charging docking plate 12 and the external charging docking component is improved.

[0055] The working principle of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is:

[0056] When charging is needed, the opening and closing driving member 14 drives the water baffle plate 13 to slide along the charging installation side 115, and the wiper portion 112 will scrape off the water drops on the side of the water baffle plate 13 close to the charging installation side 115 when the water baffle plate 13 slides relative to the fixed plate 11, and the action of opening the charging opening 111 is that the opening and closing driving member 14 drives the water baffle plate 13 to slide down from the charging opening 111 along the charging installation side 115, so that the water on the water baffle plate 13 is scraped to the lower edge of the charging opening 111, and a water guide slope 113 is also provided at the lower edge of the charging opening 111, so that when the water on the water baffle plate 13 is scraped to the lower edge of the charging opening 111, the water on the lower edge of the charging opening 111 will slide down to the outside of the vehicle body 50 along the water guide slope 113 under the action of gravity, so as to prevent the charging docking component extending from the charging opening 111 from being stained with water on the water baffle plate 13 and the wiper portion 112, thereby further improving the safety of the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0057] In summary:

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention provides a waterproof charging mechanism 10 , which has the characteristic of high safety.

[0059] Second embodiment:

[0060] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of a charging docking device 300 provided in a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] The charging docking device 300 includes a waterproof charging mechanism 10 and an adaptive charging mechanism 20. It should be noted that the basic principle and technical effect of the waterproof charging mechanism 10 of the charging docking device 300 provided in this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment. For the sake of brief description, for the parts not mentioned in this embodiment, reference can be made to the corresponding contents in the above embodiment. The adaptive charging mechanism 20 is used to connect to an external power source, and can extend into the charging opening 111 and dock with the first charging docking plate 12 to supply power to the rechargeable vehicle 100 through the charging docking device 300.

[0062] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 6 This is a schematic structural diagram of the guide assembly 25 and the second charging docking plate 26 of the adaptive charging mechanism 20 of the charging docking device 300 provided in the second embodiment of the present invention at a first viewing angle. Figure 7 A schematic structural diagram of the guide assembly 25 and the second charging docking plate 26 of the adaptive charging mechanism 20 of the charging docking device 300 provided in the second embodiment of the present invention at a second viewing angle. Figure 8A schematic structural diagram of the guide assembly 25 and the second charging docking plate 26 of the adaptive charging mechanism 20 of the charging docking device 300 provided in the third embodiment of the present invention at a first viewing angle. Figure 6 and Figure 8 The direction indicated by the arrow in each diagram is the first direction.

[0063] The adaptive charging mechanism 20 includes a docking drive member 22, a guide assembly 25 and a second charging docking plate 26 connected in sequence, wherein the docking drive member 22 can drive the guide assembly 25 to move toward the charging opening 111, and then drive the second charging docking plate 26 to extend into the charging opening 111 through the guide assembly 25, and make the second charging docking plate 26 dock with the first charging docking plate 12, and the guide assembly 25 can slide along at least one first direction perpendicular to the direction in which the second charging docking plate 26 extends into the charging opening 111. In other words, the guide assembly 25 can extend into the charging opening 111 along the second charging docking plate 26. The guide assembly 25 slides in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the opening 111, that is, when the second charging docking plate 26 extends into the charging opening 111, the guide assembly 25 can slide in a first direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the second charging docking plate 26 extending into the charging opening 111, so that when the second charging docking plate 26 is not aligned with the first charging docking plate 12, the guide assembly 25 abuts against the guide plate 18, and the inclined guide plate 18 allows the guide assembly 25 to slide sideways, so that the second charging docking plate 26 slides along the guide plate 18 toward the first charging docking plate 12 along with the guide assembly 25, so that the second charging docking plate 26 docks with the first charging docking plate 12. When the second charging docking plate 26 extends into the charging opening 111, the position can be fine-tuned to ensure that the second charging docking plate 26 and the first charging docking plate 12 can be docked even when they are not precisely opposite, thereby improving the adaptability of the charging docking device 300.

[0064] It should be noted that the docking drive member 22 can be a gear rack mechanism, a screw transmission mechanism, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism, an oil-driven telescopic mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism or a chain transmission mechanism, etc.

[0065] Please continue reading Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The guide assembly 25 may include a first guide frame 251, a sliding connection member 252 and a second guide frame 254 that are slidably connected in sequence, that is, the first guide frame 251 and the second guide frame 254 are slidably connected through the sliding connection member 252, and the first guide frame 251 is connected to the docking drive member 22, and the second guide frame 254 is connected to the second charging docking plate 26 to slidably connect the second charging docking plate 26 and the docking drive member 22, and the sliding connection member 252 is arranged along the first direction so that the second charging docking plate 26 can slide along the second direction relative to the docking drive member 22.

[0066] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the sliding connection 252 is a plurality of linear bearings, and the plurality of linear bearings are all arranged between the second guide frame 254 and the first guide frame 251, and are all arranged along the first direction to slidingly connect the first guide frame 251 and the second guide frame 254. In other embodiments, the sliding connection 252 may also be a combination of a sliding rail 131 and a slide table 132 that are slidably connected.

[0067] Furthermore, the guide assembly 25 may also include a reset elastic member 253, which is respectively connected to the first guide frame 251 and the second guide frame 254, and the reset elastic member 253 is also arranged along the first direction, and is constructed to be able to drive the second guide frame 254 to reset after the second guide frame 254 slides along the first direction or in a direction opposite to the first direction, so as to facilitate the adaptive charging mechanism 20 to carry out the next docking.

[0068] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the reset elastic member 253 is a nitrogen spring, and there are two reset elastic members 253, which are point-symmetrically arranged between the first guide frame 251 and the second guide frame 254, so that after the second guide frame 254 slides along the first direction or the direction opposite to the first direction, the two reset elastic members 253 can drive the second guide frame 254 to reset, thereby improving the stability of the reset of the second guide frame 254. In other embodiments, the reset elastic member 253 can also be other elastic members, such as a rubber strip or a coil spring.

[0069] In addition, the guide assembly 25 may further include a second positioning wheel 255, which is disposed on the first guide frame 251 or the sliding connection member 252 to limit the sliding distance of the second guide frame 254 along the first direction to limit the sliding of the second guide frame 254 within a normal range.

[0070] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig. 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the process of docking the adaptive charging mechanism 20 and the waterproof charging mechanism 10 of the charging docking device 300 provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig.10 This is a structural schematic diagram of the adaptive charging mechanism 20 and the waterproof charging mechanism 10 of the charging docking device 300 provided in the second embodiment of the present invention when docking is completed. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The direction indicated by the arrow in is the first direction.

[0071] Furthermore, the guide assembly 25 may also include a plurality of guide wheels 27, which are rotatably connected to the second guide frame 254 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the second charging docking plate 26. In other words, the second charging docking plate 26 is arranged on the second guide frame 254, and the portion of the second guide frame 254 extending in front of the second charging docking plate 26 is connected with the guide wheel 27, so that when the second charging docking plate 26 extends into the charging opening 111, the guide wheel 27 can first abut against the guide plate 18, and slide along the guide plate 18 toward the first charging docking plate 12, so that the second charging docking plate 26 can dock with the first charging docking plate 12.

[0072] It should be noted that corresponding contact blocks (not marked in the figure) are respectively provided on the first charging docking plate 12 and the second charging docking plate 26. When the second charging docking plate 26 is docked with the first charging docking plate 12, the respective contact blocks are connected to complete the electrical connection between the adaptive charging mechanism 20 and the waterproof charging mechanism 10.

[0073] Further, the adaptive charging mechanism 20 may also include a second docking position sensor 28, which is disposed on the first guide frame 251 and is used to transmit a signal to the first docking position sensor 17 or receive a signal transmitted by the first docking position sensor 17, so as to detect whether the adaptive charging mechanism 20 is roughly aligned with the waterproof charging mechanism 10, and whether the second charging docking plate 26 is roughly aligned with the first charging docking plate 12, and can also be used to match the first docking position sensor 17. The second docking position sensor 28 can be a receiving end or a transmitting end in a photoelectric switch. The adaptive charging mechanism 20 may also include a second main controller (not shown), which is electrically connected to the second docking position sensor 28 and the docking drive 22, so as to control the docking drive 22 to drive the second charging docking plate 26 to move toward the first charging docking plate 12 according to the signal detected by the second docking position sensor 28. In this way, the charging docking device 300 automatically completes the docking work, thereby realizing the function of automatic charging.

[0074] Furthermore, the adaptive charging mechanism 20 also includes a third docking position sensor 29, which is electrically connected to the second main controller and is arranged on the second guide frame 254. When the second charging docking plate 26 is docked with the first charging docking plate 12, the third docking position sensor 29 will be in contact with the first mounting frame 16 when the contact blocks of the second charging docking plate 26 and the first charging docking plate 12 are connected. The second main controller controls the docking drive 22 to stop the action according to the signal fed back by the third docking position sensor 29 to complete the docking work. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the third docking position sensor 29 can be a travel switch, and in other embodiments, it can also be other sensors, such as a distance sensor.

[0075] The working principle of the charging docking device 300 provided in the second embodiment of the present invention is:

[0076] During the docking process, the second docking position sensor 28 is first matched with the first docking position sensor 17, and the second main controller then controls the docking drive 22 to drive the guide assembly 25 to move toward the charging opening 111, and then drives the second charging docking plate 26 to extend into the charging opening 111 through the guide assembly 25, wherein the guide assembly 25 includes a first guide frame 251, a sliding connection member 252 and a second guide frame 254 that are slidably connected, and the second guide frame 254 is able to slide relative to the docking drive 22 along a first direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the second charging docking plate 26 extending into the charging opening 111, so that the guide wheel 27 arranged in front of the second charging docking plate 26 first abuts against the guide plate 18, and slides along the guide plate 18 toward the first charging docking plate 12, so that the second charging docking plate 26 is docked with the first charging docking plate 12.

[0077] When the second charging docking plate 26 gradually withdraws from the charging opening 111 , the elastic reset member arranged between the first guide frame 251 and the second guide frame 254 can drive the second guide frame 254 to reset, so as to facilitate the next docking of the adaptive charging mechanism 20 .

[0078] In summary:

[0079] Since the charging docking device 300 adopts the waterproof charging mechanism 10 provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, the charging docking device 300 also has the characteristic of high safety.
