Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to a charging device and robot component. Background Technology
[0002] Robots can perform household services, outdoor services, and other tasks such as maintenance, repair, transportation, cleaning, and monitoring. They can be categorized into appliance robots, entertainment robots, chef robots, handling robots, mobile assistant robots, and so on.
[0003] These robots are typically powered by rechargeable batteries, which need to be moved to a specific location and recharged before the batteries run out. Since the robot will pause operation during charging, it is essential to minimize the charging time. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a charging device and robot component to solve the problem that the robot will pause its work when charging, and it is necessary to shorten the charging time of the robot.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a charging device, comprising:
[0006] Base;
[0007] The mounting base is provided with at least two mounting sections, which are used to place the power supply battery pack;
[0008] The driving mechanism includes a first driving member and a second driving member mounted on the base. The first driving member is used to drive the mounting base to move so that the mounting section on which the power supply battery pack is placed moves to a target position. The target position means that the second driving member can move toward the power supply battery pack to abut against the power supply battery pack and drive the power supply battery pack to move away from the mounting section.
[0009] Secondly, this application provides a robot component, including a robot, the aforementioned charging device, and the power supply battery pack. The robot includes a robot body and a battery compartment disposed on the robot body. The charging device is used to push the power supply battery pack into the battery compartment of the robot.
[0010] The charging device and robot component of this application have multiple mounting sections on the mounting base, each used to house a power supply battery pack. This allows the robot to move to the charging device before its battery runs out, and the battery pack inside can be directly replaced, shortening the robot's charging time and improving its working efficiency. Furthermore, since the first drive component of the drive mechanism moves the mounting base with multiple mounting sections, each mounting section on the mounting base can be moved to its target position. In other words, the drive mechanism can use the same second drive component to remove the power supply battery pack from different mounting sections, simplifying the structural design of the drive mechanism and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0033] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a charging device 100. Please refer to... Figure 1 The charging device 100 can be used to house the power supply battery pack 210, enabling it to supply power to the electrical equipment. The battery pack can be an energy storage device assembled from multiple battery cells. Battery packs are widely used due to their advantages such as large capacity, high energy density, and ease of installation and removal. The power supply battery pack 210 refers to a battery pack with sufficient charge to provide power to the electrical equipment when installed on it. The electrical equipment can be any device that requires electricity; for example, it can be a robot 300, an electric vehicle, etc., but this embodiment does not limit this.
[0034] Specifically, the charging device 100 may include a mounting base 110 for placing a power supply battery pack 210. The mounting base 110 may be provided with at least two mounting sections 111, and each power supply battery pack 210 may be located in one mounting section 111 of the mounting base 110. By providing at least two mounting sections 111 on the mounting base 110, it is advantageous to place multiple power supply battery packs 210 on the mounting base 110, thereby increasing the capacity of the charging device 100 to accommodate the power supply battery packs 210.
[0035] It should be noted that the installation interval 111 can be either an open interval or a closed interval. Specifically, when the installation interval 111 is an open interval, in one exemplary embodiment, the bearing surface 112 of the mounting base 110 can be divided into multiple bearing areas, each bearing area corresponding to one installation interval 111. In this way, the power supply battery pack 210 placed in the installation interval 111 is only constrained by the bearing surface 112, resulting in less constraint and facilitating the placement and removal of the power supply battery pack 210 within the installation interval 111. In another exemplary embodiment where the installation interval 111 is an open interval, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 Multiple mounting slots 113 can be provided on one surface of the mounting base 110, and each mounting slot 113 can correspond to a mounting section 111. The inner wall surface of the mounting slot 113 generally includes a bottom wall surface and a side wall surface, so that the bottom wall surface and the side wall surface can limit the power supply battery pack 210 installed in the mounting slot 113, and prevent the power supply battery pack 210 from falling off from the mounting section 111.
[0036] When the installation section 111 is a closed section, to facilitate the placement and removal of the power supply battery pack 210 within the installation section 111, at least one plate enclosing the installation section 111 can be a movable plate. This movable plate can have a first position and a second position. At the first position, the mounting base 110 can have an opening communicating with the installation section 111, and at the second position, the movable plate can cover the opening. Thus, when it is necessary to place or remove the power supply battery pack 210, the movable plate can be in the first position, allowing the power supply battery pack 210 to be removed from or placed within the installation section 111 through the opening. When it is not necessary to place or remove the power supply battery pack 210, the movable plate can be in the second position to ensure stable installation of the power supply battery pack 210 within the installation section 111 and to prevent dust from falling into it.
[0037] In one exemplary embodiment, the charging device 100 may further include a drive mechanism to facilitate the removal of the power supply battery pack 210 from the mounting section 111. See also... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving mechanism may include a first driving member 120 and a second driving member 130. The first driving member 120 can drive the mounting base 110 to move, so that the mounting section 111 where the power supply battery pack 210 is placed moves to a target position. The target position means that the second driving member 130 can move toward the power supply battery pack 210 in the mounting section 111 to abut against the power supply battery pack 210 and drive the power supply battery pack 210 to detach from the mounting section 111. The first driving member 120 drives the entire mounting base 110 to move, thus enabling different mounting sections 111 on the mounting base 110 to move to the target position. That is, the driving mechanism can use the same second driving member 130 to remove the power supply battery pack 210 from different mounting sections 111, which simplifies the structural design of the driving mechanism and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0038] It should be noted that when the installation interval 111 corresponds to a bearing area of the bearing surface 112 of the mounting base 110 described above, the second driving member 130 can be located on the same side of the mounting base 110 as the power supply battery pack 210, and the second driving member 130 can be disposed corresponding to the side wall of the power supply battery pack 210, so as to push the power supply battery pack 210 out of the installation interval 111 toward the side away from the second driving member 130. When the installation interval 111 corresponds to a bearing area of the bearing surface 112 of the mounting base 110 described above, please refer to... Figure 1 The second drive member 130 can also be located on opposite sides of the mounting base 110, respectively, as the power supply battery pack 210. In this case, the mounting base 110 can be provided with a through hole 114, so that the second drive member 130 can enter the mounting section 111 through the through hole 114 and push out the power supply battery pack 210 from the mounting section 111. When the mounting section 111 corresponds to one mounting slot 113 as described above, please refer to... Figure 2 The second drive member 130 and the power supply battery pack 210 can be located on opposite sides of the bottom wall of the mounting groove 113, and a through hole 115 can be provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 113 so that the second drive member 130 can enter the mounting section 111 through the through hole 115 and push out the power supply battery pack 210 of the mounting section 111. Similarly, when the mounting section 111 is the closed section described above and the mounting base 110 includes a movable plate, a through hole opposite to the movable plate can be provided on the mounting base 110, and the second drive member 130 can be located on the side where the through hole of the mounting base 110 is located so that it can enter the mounting section 111 through the through hole and push out the power supply battery pack 210 of the mounting section 111 from the opening at the movable plate.
[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, multiple mounting sections 111 can be arranged along a first direction x, and a first drive member 120 can be used to drive the mounting base 110 to move along the first direction x. In this way, the first drive member 120 can sequentially convey the power supply battery pack 210 of each mounting section 111 to the corresponding second drive member 130 along the first direction x, shortening the conveying distance, shortening the usage time of the first drive member 120, and reducing losses.
[0040] The first direction x can be a straight line or a circular direction. When the first direction x is a straight line, for cases where the number of mounting sections 111 is small, such as two or three mounting sections 111, a miniaturized design of the mounting base 110 can be achieved. When the first direction x is a circular direction, for cases where the number of mounting sections 111 is large, the power supply battery pack 210 of each mounting section 111 can be directly rotated in one direction to sequentially transfer the power supply battery pack 210 of each mounting section 111 to the corresponding second drive member 130. Compared with the straight line direction, this avoids the reciprocating motion that lengthens the travel of the first drive member 120 and reduces losses. It should be noted that the first direction x can also be any other direction, such as an arc direction, and this embodiment does not limit it.
[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, the second driving member 130 can be used to move along the second direction y toward the mounting interval 111 towards the power supply battery pack 210, so as to abut against the power supply battery pack 210 and drive the power supply battery pack 210 away from the mounting interval 111. The second direction y can be a straight line. When both the first direction x and the second direction y are straight lines, the first direction x can intersect the second direction y. This avoids interference between the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 130; and the first driving member 120 and the second driving member 130 only need to generate linear motion, making the movement simpler and the manufacturing cost lower. Preferably, when both the first direction x and the second direction y are straight lines, the first direction x can be perpendicular to the second direction y. This allows the second driving member 130 to better push the power supply battery pack 210 out of the mounting interval 111. When the first direction x is a circumferential direction and the second direction y is a straight line, preferably, please refer to... Figure 3 The rotation axis in the first direction x can be parallel to the second direction y. In this way, during the rotation of the first drive member 120 along the first direction x, the relative position of each mounting section 111 that rotates to the second drive member 130 can be approximately the same as that of the second drive member 130, which facilitates the second drive member 130 acting on the power supply battery pack 210 within the mounting section 111.
[0042] When the first direction x is a straight line, the first driving member 120 can be any driving device capable of producing linear motion, such as an electric actuator or a conveyor belt; this application embodiment does not limit this. Similarly, when the second direction y is a straight line, the second driving member 130 can be any driving device capable of producing linear motion, such as an electric actuator or a cylinder; this application embodiment does not limit this. When the first direction x is a circular direction, the first driving member 120 can be any driving mechanism capable of producing circular motion, such as a motor 1311; this application embodiment does not limit this.
[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, when the second direction y is a straight line direction, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 The second driving member 130 may include a first driving part 131, a first moving part 132, and a first transmission part 133 connected between the first driving part 131 and the first moving part 132. The first driving part 131 can generate rotational motion, and the first transmission part 133 can convert the rotational motion into linear motion along the second direction y and transmit it to the first moving part 132, so that the first moving part 132 can move toward the power supply battery pack 210 in the mounting section 111. The second driving member 130 is designed to convert rotational motion into linear motion, which makes the layout of the second driving member 130 more compact and facilitates the miniaturization of the charging device 100.
[0044] Specifically, in one exemplary scheme, please refer to Figure 5 The first drive unit 131 may include a motor 1311, and the first transmission unit 133 may include a gear 1331 connected to the output shaft of the motor 1311 and a rack 1332 connected to the first moving unit 132. The rack 1332 may be distributed along the second direction y, and the gear 1331 and the rack 1332 mesh with each other. The conversion between rotational motion and linear motion is achieved through the meshing gear 1331 and rack 1332, which ensures the smoothness of the motion. In an exemplary embodiment, a snap ring groove 1312 may be provided on the output shaft of the motor 1311, and a snap ring 1313 may be installed in the snap ring groove 1312 to achieve an axial limiting effect.
[0045] Please see Figure 6 The charging device 100 may further include a guide cylinder 140 for guiding the movement of the first moving part 132. In an exemplary embodiment, the guide cylinder 140 may have a first receiving cavity 141 extending in a second direction y, and a first through hole 142 communicating with the first receiving cavity 141 and extending in the second direction y. The first moving part 132 may include a main body 1321 located in the first receiving cavity 141 and a connecting part 1322 connected to the main body 1321. One end of the connecting part 1322 away from the main body 1321 may pass through the first through hole 142 and be located outside the guide cylinder 140, and connected to the first transmission part 133. Thus, the main body 1321 located in the first receiving cavity 141 of the first moving part 132 may be guided via the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 and / or a portion of the connecting part 1322 located in the first through hole 142 of the first moving part 132 may be guided via the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142. Furthermore, the portion of the connecting part 1322 located outside the guide cylinder 140 is connected to the first transmission part 133, which simplifies the assembly difficulty of the first moving part 132 and the first transmission part 133 and saves assembly time.
[0046] It should be noted that "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist; for example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Thus, the aforementioned statement that "the main body 1321 of the first moving part 132 located within the first receiving cavity 141 can be guided via the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 and / or a portion of the connecting part 1322 of the first moving part 132 located within the first through hole 142 can be guided via the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142" includes: the main body 1321 of the first moving part 132 located within the first receiving cavity 141 can be guided solely via the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141. 1. Guiding: The connecting portion 1322 within the first through hole 142 of the first moving part 132 is guided solely by the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142; the main body portion 1321 within the first receiving cavity 141 of the first moving part 132 is guided via the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141; and the connecting portion 1322 within the first through hole 142 of the first moving part 132 is also guided via the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142. When the first moving part 132 is guided solely by the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 or solely by the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142, the machining accuracy requirements of the guide cylinder 140 and the first moving part 132 can be reduced, thus lowering production costs. When the first moving part 132 is guided simultaneously by the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 and the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142, the guiding effect of the first moving part 132 is better.
[0047] To guide the first moving part 132 via the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141, in one exemplary embodiment, the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 can be adapted to the outer wall surface 1323 of the main body 1321 to guide the movement of the main body 1321, thereby guiding the first moving part 132. For example, the inner wall surface 1411 of the first receiving cavity 141 is approximately a first cylindrical surface, and the outer wall surface 1323 of the main body 1321 is approximately a second cylindrical surface adapted to the first cylindrical surface. In another exemplary orientation, the inner wall surface of the first receiving cavity 141 may include a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, both of which extend along the second direction y. The outer wall surface of the main body 1321 may include a third surface abutting the first surface and a fourth surface abutting the second surface, so that the first surface and the second surface can guide the movement of the main body 1321, thereby guiding the first moving part 132.
[0048] To enable the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142 to guide the first moving part 132, in an exemplary embodiment, the inner wall surface 1421 of the first through hole 142 includes a fifth surface and a sixth surface disposed opposite to each other. Both the fifth surface and the sixth surface can extend along the second direction y. The connecting part 1322 can include a seventh surface that abuts against the fifth surface and an eighth surface that abuts against the sixth surface, so that the fifth surface and the sixth surface can guide the movement of the connecting part 1322, thereby guiding the first moving part 132.
[0049] When the first moving part 132 includes a connecting part 1322 and the conveying part includes a rack 1332, the portion of the connecting part 1322 located outside the guide cylinder 140 may be provided with a first mounting groove 1324 extending in the second direction y, and the rack 1332 may be installed in the first mounting groove 1324 to improve the installation stability between the rack 1332 and the first moving part 132.
[0050] Similarly, when the first direction x is a straight line, the first drive member 120 can also adopt the same structure as the second drive member 130. For example, please refer to... Figure 7 The first driving member 120 may include a second driving part 121, a second moving part 122, and a second transmission part 123 connected between the second driving part 121 and the second moving part 122. The second driving part 121 can generate rotational motion, and the second transmission part 123 can convert the rotational motion into linear motion along the first direction x and transmit it to the second moving part 122. The second moving part 122 can be mounted on the mounting base 110 so as to drive the mounting base 110 to move along the first direction x. The first driving member 120 is designed to convert rotational motion into linear motion, which makes the layout of the first driving member 120 more compact and facilitates the miniaturization of the charging device 100. Similarly, in an exemplary embodiment, the second driving part 121 may include a motor, and the second transmission part 123 may include a gear 1231 connected to the output shaft of the motor and a rack 1232 connected to the second moving part 122. The rack 1232 may be distributed along the first direction x, and the gear 1231 and the rack 1232 mesh. The conversion between rotational and linear motion is achieved through the meshing of gears 1231 and rack 1232, ensuring smooth motion. Similarly, in an exemplary embodiment, a retaining ring groove can be provided on the output shaft of the motor, and a retaining ring can be installed in the retaining ring groove to provide an axial limiting effect. The second moving part 122 can be provided with a second mounting groove extending along the first direction x, and the rack 1232 can be installed in the second mounting groove to improve the installation stability between the rack 1232 and the second moving part 122.
[0051] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8The charging device 100 may further include a guide member 150 for guiding the movement of the mounting base 110. In one exemplary embodiment, the guide member 150 may include two opposing first guide plates 151, and the mounting base 110 may be provided with a second guide plate 152 inserted between the two first guide plates 151. Guiding the movement of the mounting base 110 through the two first guide plates 151 and the second guide plate 152 results in a relatively simple structure and convenient assembly. It is understood that the mounting base 110 may be provided with two second guide plates 152, and the guide member 150 may include two sets of opposing first guide plates 151, so that each second guide plate 152 can be inserted into a set of opposing first guide plates 151, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the mounting base 110.
[0052] In one exemplary scheme, please refer to Figure 9 The charging device 100 may further include a charging module 160. The charging module 160 may include a charging unit 161 corresponding to at least one installation section 111. By providing the charging module 160, the battery pack within the installation section 111 can be charged. Thus, even if a battery pack to be charged is placed in the installation section 111, it can be converted into a power supply battery pack 210 after being charged by the charging module 160. Furthermore, by including the charging module 160, the charging device 100 can also be used to hold a battery pack to be charged removed from the electrical device. Thus, a power supply battery pack 210 can be removed from the charging device 100 and a battery pack to be charged can be placed inside. After being charged by the charging module 160, the battery pack to be charged can be converted back into a power supply battery pack 210, ensuring a continuous supply of power supply battery packs 210 within the charging device 100.
[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, the charging unit 161 can be directly mounted on the mounting base 110, allowing the charging unit 161 to move with the mounting base 110 to supply power to the battery pack 210 placed in the mounting section 111. In another exemplary embodiment, the charging device 100 may further include a base 170, on which the charging unit 161 can be mounted. A first driving member 120 can be used to drive the mounting base 110 to move relative to the base 170 and the charging unit 161 along a first direction x, so that when the mounting section 111 in the mounting base 110 moves to a position corresponding to the charging unit 161, the charging unit 161 can supply power to the battery pack to be charged in the mounting section 111. Since the charging unit 161 is mounted on the base 170 and does not move with the mounting base 110, the same charging unit 161 can supply power to the battery pack to be charged in different mounting sections 111, reducing the number of charging units 161 and lowering manufacturing costs.
[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, the charging unit 161 can directly charge the battery pack to be charged. For example, the charging unit 161 may be provided with a first electrical connector, and the battery pack to be charged may be provided with a second electrical connector, with the first electrical connector communicatively connected to the second electrical connector. Preferably, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector can be wirelessly connected to reduce the alignment requirements between the charging unit 161 and the battery pack to be charged, enabling the charging unit 161 to smoothly supply power to the battery pack. For example, the first electrical connector may include a transmitting coil, and the second electrical connector may include a receiving coil coupled to the transmitting coil, etc.
[0055] In another exemplary embodiment, the charging unit 161 can supply power to the battery pack to be charged on the mounting base 110 via the mounting base 110. For example, the charging unit 161 may be provided with a first electrical connector, and the mounting base 110 may be provided with a second electrical connector and a third electrical connector electrically connected to the second electrical connector at each position corresponding to each mounting section 111. The battery pack to be charged may be provided with a fourth electrical connector. The first electrical connector can communicate with the second electrical connector, and the third electrical connector can communicate with the fourth electrical connector, thereby enabling the charging unit 161 to supply power to the battery pack to be charged. Optionally, when the mounting base 110 moves to a mounting section 111 corresponding to a charging unit 161, the first electrical connector can contact the second electrical connector to achieve electrical connection between the first and second electrical connectors. Both the first and second electrical connectors can be solder pads, etc. Of course, when the mounting base 110 moves to a mounting section 111 corresponding to a charging unit 161, the first electrical connector can also be coupled with the second electrical connector to transfer the power of the charging unit 161 to the mounting base 110; the embodiments of this application do not limit the connection method between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.
[0056] Similarly, after the battery pack to be charged is placed in the installation section 111, the third electrical connector can contact the fourth electrical connector to achieve electrical connection between the third and fourth electrical connectors. Both the third and fourth electrical connectors can be solder pads, etc. Of course, after the battery pack to be charged is placed in the installation section 111, the third electrical connector can also couple with the fourth electrical connector to transfer the power from the mounting base 110 to the battery pack to be charged; the embodiments of this application do not limit the connection method between the third and fourth electrical connectors.
[0057] In one exemplary scheme, if the number of installation intervals 111 is two, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 and Figure 11These can be denoted as the first mounting interval 1111 and the second mounting interval 1112 distributed along the first direction x, where x is a straight line. In this case, the number of charging units 161 can be two, namely the first charging unit 1611 and the second charging unit 1612 distributed at intervals along the first direction x. When the first mounting interval 1111 corresponds to the second driving member 130, the second mounting interval 1112 can correspond to the first charging unit 1611; when the second mounting interval 1112 corresponds to the second driving member 130, the first mounting interval 1111 can correspond to the second charging unit 1612. That is, when any one of the two mounting intervals 111 in the mounting base 110 corresponds to the second driving member 130, the other mounting interval 111 can correspond to one charging unit 161. Thus, the idle second installation section 1112 can first be used to store the battery pack to be charged removed from the electrical device. Then, the mounting base 110 is moved so that the second installation section 1112 corresponds to the first charging unit 1611, and the first charging unit 1611 can supply power to the battery pack to be charged. At this time, the power supply battery pack 210 in the first installation section 1111 will correspond exactly to the second driving member 130, so that it can be pushed out by the second driving member 130 for installation on the electrical device.
[0058] The charging device 100 may further include a cover plate 180, which together with the base 170 forms a second receiving cavity 181. The mounting base 110, the driving device, etc., can all be installed in the second receiving cavity 181. In an exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 180 may be provided with a second through hole 182 communicating with the second receiving cavity 181. The second through hole 182 may be correspondingly provided with a second driving member 130, so that the second driving member 130 can drive the power supply battery pack 210 to leave the mounting area 111 and the second receiving cavity 181 through the second through hole 182.
[0059] It should be noted that when the mounting base 110 includes two mounting sections 111 (first mounting section 1111 and second mounting section 1112) and the charging module 160 includes two charging units 161 (first charging unit 1611 and second charging unit 1612), the second receiving cavity 181 can be greater than three times the capacity of the mounting section 111 along the first direction x, and the second through hole 182 can be located in the middle of the cover plate 180, so that the power supply battery pack 210 in both mounting sections 111 of the mounting base 110 can be ejected through the second through hole 182. In this case, the first charging unit 1611 and the second charging unit 1612 can be respectively positioned at the two ends of the cover plate 180. For example, the first charging unit 1611 can be disposed on the right side of the cover plate 180 so that the right side of the second receiving cavity 181 corresponds to a charging area; the second charging unit 1612 can be disposed on the left side of the cover plate 180 so that the left side of the second receiving cavity 181 corresponds to a charging area; the second through hole 182 can be disposed in the middle of the cover plate 180 so that the middle of the second receiving cavity 181 corresponds to a charging area; the first direction x can include the direction from left to right and the direction from right to left.
[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the inner wall surface of the second through-hole 182 onto the surface of the cover plate 180 can encompass the orthographic projection of the outline of the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be charged onto the surface of the cover plate 180. In another exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the inner wall surface of the second through-hole 182 onto the surface of the cover plate 180 can coincide with the orthographic projection of the outline of the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be charged onto the surface of the cover plate 180. This allows the second through-hole 182 to be minimized while still allowing the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be charged to pass through, thereby improving the sealing performance of the charging device 100. Optionally, the charging device 100 may further include a movable plate movably covering the second through-hole 182. The movable plate may have a first position and a second position. At the first position, the movable plate can cover the second through-hole 182 to improve the sealing performance of the charging device 100; at the second position, the movable plate can be moved away from the second through-hole 182 to expose the second through-hole 182 for easy access to the battery pack.
[0061] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a robot component 10. Please refer to... Figure 12 and Figure 13 The robot component 10 may include the robot 300, the charging device 100 described above, and the power supply battery pack 210. The robot 300 may include the robot body 310 and the battery compartment 320 disposed on the robot body 310. The charging device 100 can be used to push the power supply battery pack 210 into the battery compartment 320 of the robot 300.
[0062] It should be noted that the power supply battery pack 210 may include a spare power supply battery pack placed in the charging device 100, or it may include a power supply battery pack 210 that is converted from a battery pack to be charged after being removed from the robot body 310 and charged by the charging device 100.
[0063] Please see Figure 14 The robot 300 may be equipped with a first sensing element 311, and the charging device 100 may be equipped with a second sensing element 190. The robot body 310 and the charging device 100 can be aligned via the first sensing element 311 and the second sensing element 190. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 13 and Figure 14 The robot body 310 and the charging device 100 can be positioned via the first sensing element 311 and the second sensing element 190 to correspond with the battery compartment 320 of the robot 300 and the second drive member 130 of the charging device 100. Thus, an empty mounting section 111 of the mounting base 110 can first be aligned with the second drive member 130, allowing the battery pack to be charged, removed from the robot 300's compartment, to be placed in the empty mounting section 111. Then, the first drive member 120 (not shown) can drive the mounting base 110 to move so that the mounting section 111 containing the power supply battery pack 210 aligns with the second drive member 130, allowing the second drive member 130 to push the power supply battery pack 210 into the battery compartment 320 of the robot 300.
[0064] In one exemplary embodiment, the first sensing element 311 may include one of an infrared emitting sensor and an infrared receiving sensor, and the second sensing element 190 may include the other of an infrared emitting sensor and an infrared receiving sensor. When the infrared emitting sensor and the infrared receiving sensor are aligned, the infrared receiving sensor can receive the infrared signal emitted by the infrared emitting sensor, thereby inferring that the robot body 310 is aligned with the charging device 100. It should be noted that there can be multiple first sensing elements 311, and these multiple first sensing elements 311 can be distributed at intervals on the robot body 310. The number of second sensing elements 190 can be equal to the number of first sensing elements 311, and each second sensing element 190 can correspond to one first sensing element 311, thereby improving the alignment accuracy between the robot body 310 and the charging device 100.
[0065] The robot body 310, the power supply battery pack 210, and the battery pack to be charged can all be detachably connected. In one exemplary solution, please refer to... Figure 15The power supply battery pack 210 and / or the battery pack to be charged may be provided with a first fixing member 400, and the robot body 310 may be provided with a second fixing member 500 that works in conjunction with the first fixing member 400. The power supply battery pack 210 and the robot body 310, as well as the battery pack to be charged and the robot body 310, can be detachably connected through the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500.
[0066] Please see Figure 16 One of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500 may include a first driving structure 510, a first fixing structure 520, and a second driving structure 530, while the other of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500 may include a second fixing structure 410. The first driving structure 510 can be connected to the first fixing structure 520 and is used to drive the first fixing structure 520 to move and disconnect from the second fixing structure 410; the second driving structure 530 can be connected to the first fixing structure 520 and is used to drive the first fixing structure 520 to move and connect to the second fixing structure 410. That is, whether the power supply battery pack 210, the battery pack to be charged, and the robot body 310 are disconnected or connected can be controlled by the first driving structure 510 and the second driving structure 530 respectively, which simplifies the manual operation process and achieves automated control.
[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, at least a portion of the first drive structure 510 may be located outside the robot body 310. It should be noted that "at least a portion of the first drive structure 510 is located outside the robot body 310" means that the first drive structure 510 can be touched from outside the robot body 310. For example, one end of the first drive structure 510 may be located inside the robot body 310, and the other end may extend out of the robot body 310 and extend towards the side away from the robot body 310.
[0068] When at least a portion of the first drive structure 510 is located outside the robot body 310, the first drive structure 510 can be driven by pressing its end away from the robot body 310. The first drive structure 510 and the first fixed structure 520 can be in contact via an inclined plane, so that pressing the first drive structure 510 causes the inclined plane to move the first fixed structure 520, thereby releasing the connection between the first fixed structure 520 and the second fixed structure 410. Since the pressing operation is relatively simple, in actual use, the charging device 100 can directly press the first drive structure 510 on the robot body 310 by adjusting the relative position of the robot body 310 and the charging device 100, thereby achieving intelligent release of the connection between the first fixed structure 520 and the second fixed structure 410. This design is ingenious and has broad application prospects. See again... Figure 13This allows the robot body 310 to be positioned above the charging device 100, with the battery compartment 320 of the robot body 310 located at the bottom of the body. By adjusting the distance between the robot body 310 and the charging device 100, the exposed end of the first drive structure 510 can directly abut against the charging device 100 and be pressed by it. This also allows the connection between the first fixing structure 520 and the second fixing structure 410 to be released, allowing the battery pack to be charged inside the battery compartment 320 to slide into the installation area 111 of the charging device 100.
[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 17 The first driving structure 510 may include a pressing part 511 and a pushing part 512. The pressing part 511 may have a pressing surface 5111 and a first surface 5112 opposite to the pressing surface 5111. The pressing surface 5111 may be located on the side away from the robot body 310. The pushing part 512 may be connected to the first surface 5112 and has a first inclined surface 5121. The first inclined surface 5121 may be inclined relative to the direction of movement of the pressing part 511. The first fixing structure 520 may have a second inclined surface 521 corresponding to the first inclined surface 5121. The first inclined surface 5121 can drive the second inclined surface 521 to move, thereby causing the first fixing structure 520 to disengage from the second fixing structure 410. (See reference...) Figure 18 .
[0070] Please refer to it again. Figure 17 The first fixing structure 520 has a first end face 522 facing the second fixing structure 410, a second end face 523 opposite to the first end face 522, and an outer peripheral surface 524 connecting the first end face 522 and the second end face 523. The outer peripheral surface 524 may include a second inclined surface 521. Since the outer peripheral surface 524 is relatively large, its arrangement is more convenient. Specifically, in an exemplary embodiment, the outer peripheral surface 524 may be provided with a notch 525, and the inner wall surface of the outer peripheral surface 524 forming the notch 525 may include the second inclined surface 521. Of course, the outer peripheral surface 524 may also be provided with a protrusion, and the outer surface of the protrusion may include the second inclined surface 521; this embodiment does not limit this.
[0071] To facilitate the return of the first driving structure 510 to its original position after a pressing operation, and to ensure smooth operation of the next pressing operation, one of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500, including the first driving structure 510, may further include a first elastic element 540. The first elastic element 540 may be located on the side where the first surface 5112 of the first driving structure 510 is located, so as to drive the first driving structure 510 to reset. The first elastic element 540 can be any device with elastic stretching properties. For example, the first elastic element 540 may include a compression spring, a sheet spring, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0072] Preferably, the elastic extension direction of the first elastic element 540 can be parallel to the movement direction of the pressing part 511 of the first driving structure 510. In this way, the first elastic element 540 can directly push the first driving structure 510 to reset along the opposite direction of the movement direction of the pressing part 511, which can ensure that the reset position of the first driving structure 510 is basically consistent with the original position.
[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, one of the first driving structure 510 in the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500 may further include a guide element 550. The extending direction of the guide element 550 may be parallel to the movement direction of the pressing part 511, and the guide element 550 can be used to guide the first elastic element 540. Since the direction of the spring or torsion spring during elastic extension and contraction is not easily controlled when the first elastic element 540 is selected, the addition of the guide element 550 can ensure that the first elastic element 540 moves only along the movement direction of the first driving structure 510, so as to better drive the first driving structure 510 to reset.
[0074] Specifically, the first elastic element 540 can be sleeved around the guide element 550. For example, when the first elastic element 540 is a compression spring, the compression spring can be sleeved around the guide element 550, and the inner wall of the compression spring can abut against the outer wall of the guide element 550.
[0075] In addition to guiding the first elastic element 540, the guide element 550 can also guide the movement direction of the first driving structure 510. In this case, the guide element 550 may include a first portion 551 distributed along the movement direction of the pressing part 511 and a second portion 552 connected to the first portion 551. The first elastic element 540 can be sleeved around the first portion 551, and the first surface 5112 of the first driving structure 510 may be provided with a guide groove 5113 that cooperates with the second portion 552. The second portion 552 can be slidably disposed in the guide groove 5113. By using the same guide element 550 to guide both the first elastic element 540 and the first driving structure 510, the guide element 550 can better ensure that the elastic extension direction of the first elastic element 540 is parallel or collinear with the movement direction of the first driving structure 510.
[0076] Furthermore, the first surface 5112 of the first drive structure 510 may be provided with a limiting sleeve 560, which may be sleeved around the periphery of the first elastic element 540. Thus, the inner side of the first elastic element 540 may be limited by the guide element 550, and the outer side of the first elastic element 540 may be limited by the limiting sleeve 560. Specifically, when the first elastic element 540 is a compression spring, the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 560 may abut against the outer wall of the compression spring.
[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, the second driving structure 530 may include a second elastic element 531. The second elastic element 531 can be connected to the first fixed structure 520 and is used to drive the first fixed structure 520 to move and connect with the second fixed structure 410. By configuring the second driving structure 530 to include the second elastic element 531, the elastic properties of the second elastic element 531 are used to drive the first fixed structure 520 to move relative to the second fixed structure 410. Elastic elements are widely available and inexpensive, reducing manufacturing costs. The second elastic element 531 can be any device with elastic stretching properties. For example, the second elastic element 531 may include a torsion spring, a sheet spring, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0078] Preferably, the second elastic element 531 can be a torsion spring, and the torsion spring can be sleeved on the periphery of the limiting cylinder 560. Since both ends of the torsion spring will move away from its central axis when stretched, and both ends will move closer to its central axis when compressed, sleeved on the limiting cylinder 560, the central axis of the torsion spring can be roughly kept collinear with the central axis of the limiting cylinder 560, ensuring that the position of the torsion spring remains essentially unchanged after multiple uses; and sleeved on the limiting cylinder 560, it also facilitates the installation and positioning of the torsion spring. It should be noted that when the second fixing member 500 of the robot body 310 includes a torsion spring, the specific arrangement of the torsion spring can be: the torsion spring is sleeved on the limiting cylinder 560, with one end of the torsion spring fixed to the first fixing structure 520, and the other end of the torsion spring fixed to the robot body 310.
[0079] The aforementioned description of "one of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500 includes a first driving structure 510, a first fixing structure 520, and a second driving structure 530, and the other of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500 includes a second fixing structure 410" can include two scenarios: the first fixing member 400 includes the first driving structure 510, the first fixing structure 520, and the second driving structure 530, and the second fixing member 500 includes the second fixing structure 410; and the second fixing member 500 includes the first driving structure 510, the first fixing structure 520, and the second driving structure 530, and the first fixing member 400 includes the second fixing structure 410. Preferably, the second fixing member 500 can include the first driving structure 510, the first fixing structure 520, and the second driving structure 530, and the first fixing member 400 can include the second fixing structure 410. Since the robot body 310 is larger in structure than the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be charged, the relatively more complex second fixing member 500 is placed on the robot body 310, while the relatively simpler first fixing member 400 is placed on the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be charged, making assembly easier. The second fixing structure 410 can be a slot.
[0080] Specifically, please refer to [the relevant document] again. Figure 16 The robot body 310 may be provided with a first mounting cavity 312 and a second mounting cavity 313. The first mounting cavity 312 may communicate with the battery compartment 320, one end of the second mounting cavity 313 may communicate with the first mounting cavity 312, and the other end of the second mounting cavity 313 may penetrate through the robot body 310. The first fixing structure 520 and the second driving structure 530 may both be installed in the first mounting cavity 312, and at least a portion of the first driving structure 510 may be installed in the second mounting cavity 313.
[0081] In one exemplary embodiment, to prevent the first drive structure 510 from sliding out of the second mounting cavity 313, one of the first fixing members 400 and the second fixing member 500, including the first drive structure 510, may further include a limiting ring 570. The outer peripheral wall of the pressing part 511 of the first drive structure 510 may include a stepped wall 513 facing the pressing surface 5111. The limiting ring 570 may be arranged around the periphery of the pressing part 511 so that the stepped wall 513 can abut against the limiting ring 570, thereby achieving the limiting effect on the first drive structure 510.
[0082] The robot body 310 may include a first inner wall surface forming a second mounting cavity 313. A limiting groove 314 may be provided at one end of the first inner wall surface near the outer side of the robot 300. A limiting ring 570 can be installed within the limiting groove 314, and the limiting groove 314 can extend to the outer wall of the robot body 310, so that the limiting ring 570 can be directly installed into the limiting groove 314 from the outer side of the robot body 310. The limiting ring 570 can be connected to the robot body 310 by means of screws or other methods. The outer surface of the limiting ring 570 can be flush with the outer surface of the robot body 310 to achieve aesthetic appeal of the robot 300 structure.
[0083] Please refer to it again. Figure 15 The battery pack may be equipped with a first magnet 600, and the robot body 310 may be equipped with a second magnet 700. The first magnet 600 and the second magnet 700 can cooperate to make the battery pack and the robot body 310 attract or repel each other. Preferably, the first magnet 600 and the second magnet 700 can cooperate to make the battery pack and the robot body 310 attract each other, so as to improve the installation stability between the battery pack and the robot body 310.
[0084] Optionally, at least one of the first magnet 600 and the second magnet 700 can be an electromagnet. The electromagnet generates magnetic force when energized, allowing it to attract the magnet; when the electromagnet is de-energized, its magnetic force disappears, and it disengages from the magnet. The electromagnet can be connected to a controller to control its energization. To reduce the complexity of the control process, one of the first magnet 600 and the second magnet 700 can be an electromagnet. In one exemplary embodiment, an electromagnet can be installed on the robot body 310, and magnets can be installed on the power supply battery pack 210 and the battery pack to be recharged. Thus, when the robot body 310 is depleted of power, the electromagnet cannot be energized, and its attraction to the magnet is released.
[0085] The positions of the first magnet 600 and the second magnet 700, and the positions of the first fixing member 400 and the second fixing member 500, can be located on opposite sides of the battery compartment 320, so that the first magnet 600, the second magnet 700, the first fixing member 400, and the second fixing member 500 can work together to stably fix the battery pack within the battery compartment 320. Of course, more first fixing members 400 and second fixing members 500, first magnets 600 and second magnets 700, etc., can be provided, and their arrangement can be diverse; this embodiment does not limit this.
[0086] The battery pack (which can be the power supply battery pack 210 or the battery pack to be charged) is installed in the battery compartment 320 of the robot body 310. Its status can be as follows: Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 16The first drive structure 510 is not pressed and is in its initial state. Simultaneously, both the first elastic element 540 and the second drive structure 530 can remain undeformed. At this time, the first fixing structure 520 is connected to the second fixing structure 410, achieving the limiting and fixing of the battery pack. Additionally, the controller can energize the electromagnet of the robot body 310, causing it to generate a magnetic force that attracts the magnet of the battery pack. This magnetic attraction further fixes the battery pack in place.
[0087] When the battery pack (which can be a battery pack to be charged) is automatically removed from the battery compartment 320 of the robot body 310, the state can be as follows: When the robot 300 detects that the battery pack is low on power, the robot 300 will automatically move to the charging device 100. During this process, the first sensing element 311 on the robot body 310 can achieve precise positioning of the robot 300 with the second sensing element 190 on the charging device 100. At this time, the body of the robot 300 will maintain a certain distance from the top of the charging device 100. Afterwards, the robot 300 is powered off, that is, the battery pack no longer supplies power to the robot 300. At this time, the electromagnet installed on the robot body 310 is not energized and does not generate magnetic force, and no longer attracts the magnet of the battery pack. Therefore, the electromagnet on one side of the battery pack has released the battery pack and does not fix the battery pack. At this time, only the first fixing structure 520 on the other side limits and fixes the battery pack. At the same time, please refer to Figure 13 After power is cut off, due to gravity, the robot 300 will move downwards and automatically lie on the charging device 100. At this time, the first drive structure 510 will be pressed by the charging device 100, causing the first inclined surface 5121 on the first drive structure 510 to move vertically upwards. The first inclined surface 5121 and the second inclined surface 521 always coincide, thereby driving the first fixing structure 520 to move horizontally to release it from the second fixing structure 410 (see [reference]). Figure 18 The battery pack can then detach from the battery compartment 320 under the influence of gravity, thus completing the automatic removal of the battery pack.
[0088] After the battery pack (which can be the power supply battery pack 210) is installed from the charging device 100 into the battery compartment 320 of the robot body 310, its state can be as follows: Please refer to Figure 19The robot 300 receives power from the battery pack 210. Then, the electromagnet of the robot body 310 is energized, generating a magnetic force that attracts the magnet on the battery pack, initially securing it and preventing it from detaching from the battery compartment 320. The battery pack then powers other components of the robot 300, causing the robot's body to move upwards and detach from the charging device 100. Simultaneously, the first drive structure 510 is no longer pressed by the charging device 100 and returns to its initial position under the elastic action of the first elastic element 540. At the same time, the constraints of the first inclined plane 5121 and the second inclined plane 521 are released, and the first fixing structure 520 returns to its initial position under the drive of the second drive structure 530, further limiting and securing the battery pack, making it more securely fixed within the battery compartment 320. Thus, the robot 300 completes the automatic assembly and disassembly of the battery pack. The entire process requires no human intervention, making battery pack replacement highly efficient and maximizing continuous operation, further improving work efficiency.
[0089] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
