Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a charging pile device for automatic charging of an inspection robot, and in particular to an automatic charging pile capable of providing precise positioning, high reliability and manual-automatic mode, and belongs to the field of mobile inspection robots. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the application of operation and maintenance centers and operation and maintenance servers is becoming more and more widespread. In order to ensure the normal operation of the server in the computer room and to promptly discover equipment defects or hidden dangers, the operation and maintenance personnel of the computer room are often required to regularly or irregularly inspect the equipment in the computer room and manually copy the readings of the instruments and equipment. This is not only a large workload, but also affected by factors such as the environment and personnel quality, which can easily cause inaccurate detection data, resulting in inspection efficiency and quality that do not meet the expected results. In order to address the problems of low efficiency and quality of manual inspections, fully intelligent inspection robots are currently often used to replace manual inspections of the computer room environment and equipment, which not only completes the task efficiently, but also improves the core competitiveness of the operation and maintenance center.

[0003] The fully intelligent inspection robot is used to conduct 24-hour all-round, scheduled or irregular inspection of the computer room environment. The automatic charging function of the robot is an indispensable link. In order to ensure the reliability and stability of automatic charging, it is necessary to design a charging pile device for automatic charging of the inspection robot to ensure the long-term operation of the robot. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a charging pile device for automatic charging of an inspection robot. The present invention has two charging modes, automatic and manual. The mechanism design is ingenious and concise, the operation is reliable, and the effect is obvious.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0043] The present invention provides two charging modes, one is a manual charging mode and the other is an automatic charging mode. The manual charging mode is realized by a manual charging device 7. When the robot needs to be manually charged, the charging connection line hidden in the power handle 3 can be taken out, and the charging pile and the charging interface of the robot can be connected to complete the manual charging. The automatic charging mode is that when the power of the robot is lower than the set value, it will automatically navigate to the vicinity of the charging pile, and then complete the first step of precise positioning by sticking a QR code on the top of the charging pile. When the first step of precise positioning is performed, when the infrared signal emitted by the infrared device 8 of the charging pile contacts the infrared signal of the robot, the precise positioning of the robot and the charging pile can be completed through the infrared signal, so that the charging contact of the robot contacts the contact spring key 6, and the front end of the robot will also touch the trigger striker 5-1 in the trigger striker structure 5, so that the contact spring key 6 is energized, thereby realizing the automatic charging of the robot. When the charging amount of the robot is greater than the set value, the robot leaves the charging pile, at which time the trigger striker 5-1 is released and the contact spring key 6 loses power, thereby ensuring the safety of the charging pile's electricity use.

For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description.
