[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0033] According to research, when charging a robot, the robot sends the current charging parameter information to the system server via the wireless network, and the system server sends the received charging parameter information to the corresponding charging station via the wireless network, thereby realizing communication between the robot and the charging station during the charging process. During the above communication process, if the wireless network is busy or fails, real-time communication between the charging station and the robot during the charging process cannot be realized, which will cause the charging station to be unable to switch to the best mode suitable for robot charging, causing damage to the robot and charging station components.
[0034] Based on the above research, the present disclosure provides a robot charging system and method. When the current state of the wireless fidelity WiFi network is not suitable for the robot to use, a connection between the robot and the charging station is established through a built-in Internet of Things circuit, so that the robot can send the current charging parameter information to the charging station in real time. The charging station adjusts its own charging parameters to charge the robot based on the acquired charging parameter information. During the charging process, the robot does not rely on the background network, and can also communicate with the charging station point-to-point. By exchanging data with the charging station, it is ensured that the charging station can adjust the charging parameters in a timely and reasonable manner, thereby ensuring the safety of the robot and the charging station equipment.

[0036] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0037] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a robot charging system disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced in detail, and then a robot charging method disclosed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is introduced in detail. The execution subject of the robot charging method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can be a robot or a server that controls the charging of the robot, or a charging station or a server that controls the charging station. In some possible implementations, the robot charging method can be implemented by a processor calling a computer-readable instruction stored in a memory.
[0038] Embodiment 1
[0039] See also Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a robot charging system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the system includes at least one charging station 11 and at least one robot 12; the charging station 11 is installed with a first Internet of Things circuit 110, and the robot 12 is installed with a second Internet of Things circuit 120.
[0040] The robot 12 is configured to, after determining that charging is currently required, obtain identification information of the charging station by scanning an identification code corresponding to the charging station on the ground; transmit a handshake message containing identification information through the built-in second IoT circuit 120 to establish a connection with the charging station 11, and send charging parameter information to the charging station 11 based on the established connection;
[0041] Accordingly, the charging station 11 is configured to establish a connection with the robot 12 after receiving the handshake message based on the built-in first Internet of Things circuit 110, obtain the charging parameter information of the robot 12 based on the established connection, and charge the robot 12 based on the obtained charging parameter information.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, the robot 12 also includes a WiFi module 121, a main control module 122 and a battery 123; wherein the WiFi module 121 is used to communicate with the system server to send and receive WiFi signals; the main control module 122 communicates with the second Internet of Things circuit 120, the WiFi module 121 and the battery 123, and is used to store a correspondence table between the charging station identification code and the charging station ID, and is also used to detect changes in the level of the robot's charging socket. When a change in the charging socket level is detected, a charging interface insertion signal is generated, and the above-mentioned charging interface insertion signal is sent to the second Internet of Things circuit 120. After receiving the above-mentioned charging interface insertion signal, the second Internet of Things module 120 transmits a handshake message carrying the charging station ID based on the acquired charging station ID, and is also used to obtain the power in the battery 123 and generate charging parameter information; the battery 123 is used to store power.
[0043] Among them, the charging parameter information may include power, adapted voltage, adapted current, adapted charge, charging status, etc., where the power refers to the current remaining power of the robot 12; the charging status may include waiting to be charged, charging, charging completed, etc., which refers to the current charging status of the robot 12; the adapted voltage, adapted current, and adapted charge refer to the optimal voltage, optimal current, and optimal charge for charging the robot 12 based on the current remaining power of the robot 12. The following description of the charging parameter information is consistent with the above description and will not be repeated.
[0044] In an optional embodiment, the identification code corresponding to the charging station 11 is set on the ground and within a set distance range from the charging station 11; the identification code can be a QR code or a barcode, carrying the charging station identification number (identity, ID).
[0045] The charging station 11 is also equipped with a distance detection sensor 111, which detects whether there is a robot staying within a preset distance. When the robot is detected by the distance detection sensor 111, the signal receiving and sending function of the first Internet of Things circuit 110 is turned on to receive a handshake message.
[0046] The distance detection sensor 111 may be a laser distance sensor, a radar distance sensor, or an infrared distance sensor. The distance detection sensor 111 here may be any sensor that can measure distance, which will not be described in detail here. Here, the distance detection sensor 111 is used to detect whether a robot 12 stays within a set distance range from the charging station 11 within a preset time period. When a robot 12 is detected to stay, the first Internet of Things circuit 110 is turned on. When no robot is approaching, the first Internet of Things circuit 110 does not need to be turned on to save power.
[0047] The robot 12 is also configured to, after determining that charging is completed, notify the charging station 11 through its own second IoT circuit 120 to turn off the charging circuit and turn off its own second IoT circuit 120.
[0048] Correspondingly, the charging station 11 is also configured to close its own first Internet of Things circuit 110 after receiving the charging circuit closing notification sent by the robot 11.
[0049] In a specific implementation, when the WiFi module 121 of the robot 12 detects that the current wireless fidelity WiFi network is unavailable, the above process of establishing a connection with the charging station 11 through the built-in second Internet of Things circuit 120 is executed.
[0050] In a specific implementation, when it is determined that the current wireless network cannot be connected, a connection is established between the robot 12 and the charging station 11 through the following specific description to charge the robot 12. The specific description is as follows: After the robot 12 determines that charging is currently required, the identification code on the ground is scanned by a scanning device to turn on the second Internet of Things circuit 120. When the charging port of the robot 12 is inserted into the charging station 11, that is, when the main control module 122 of the robot 12 detects a level change, the main control module 122 sends a charging interface insertion signal to the second Internet of Things circuit 120. The second Internet of Things circuit 120 obtains the charging station ID corresponding to the above identification code from the corresponding relationship table of the charging station ID and the identification code pre-stored in the main control module 122, and transmits a handshake message containing the above charging station ID. At the same time, the distance detection sensor of the charging station 11 111 sends out a detection signal. When the robot 12 is detected within a preset time period, it means that there is a robot 12 that needs to be charged. At this time, the first Internet of Things circuit 110 is turned on, and a handshake message carrying its own ID is received to establish a communication connection between the robot 12 and the charging station 11; when the communication connection is established, the robot 12 sends charging parameter information carrying its own ID, and the charging station 11 receives the above charging parameter information, and configures the corresponding adaptive voltage, adaptive current and adaptive power to charge the robot 12 based on the above charging parameter information; when it is determined that the charging is completed, the robot 12 sends a charging completion signal to the charging station 11 through the second Internet of Things circuit 120, and turns off the second Internet of Things circuit 120. The charging station 11 turns off the first Internet of Things circuit 110 according to the received charging completion signal and stops charging the robot.
[0051] In the disclosed embodiment, when the current state of the wireless fidelity WiFi network is not suitable for the robot to use, a connection is established between the robot and the charging station through the first IoT circuit built into the charging station and the second IoT circuit built into the robot, so that the robot can send the current charging parameter information, such as the current power information, to the charging station in real time. The charging station adjusts the charging parameters such as the charging current / voltage based on the acquired charging parameter information to charge the robot. During the charging process, the robot does not rely on the background network, and can also communicate with the charging station point-to-point. By exchanging data with the charging station, it is ensured that the charging station can adjust the charging parameters in a timely and reasonable manner, thereby ensuring the safety of the robot and the charging station equipment.
