Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of floor scrubber charging technology, and in particular to a charging mechanism and charging pile. Background Technology

[0002] A floor scrubber is a cleaning machine suitable for cleaning hard floors while simultaneously vacuuming up and removing wastewater from the site. It boasts advantages such as environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and high performance. Floor scrubbers are categorized into semi-automatic, fully automatic, walk-behind, and ride-on models. They are widely used for floor cleaning in hotels, parks, squares, factory workshops, and other similar locations. These machines are feature-rich, high-performance, and suitable for cleaning oil and other dirt from hard floors such as ceramic tile, stone, epoxy, emery, terrazzo, vinyl flooring, vitrified tiles, and PVC floors.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this application, the inventors discovered that in order to extend the operating range of the floor scrubber, it is often necessary to install a floor scrubber charging station for charging. Current floor scrubber charging stations include: a charging station body, a rotating telescopic component, and a contact pin, with the rotating telescopic component mounted on the charging station body. The contact pin is fixed tangentially along the rotation direction of the rotating telescopic component, so that after the floor scrubber triggers the rotating telescopic component, the contact pin extends tangentially relative to the charging station body. This structure easily leads to poor contact between the contact pin and the charging components on the floor scrubber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a charging mechanism and a charging pile, which overcomes or at least partially solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is: providing a charging mechanism, including: a housing, a conductive module, and a movable module.

When a device other than the charging mechanism pushes against the movable block, the charging mechanism moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, the movable block drives the driving block to move, the driving block drives the bracket to move linearly along the first direction, and the bracket drives the conductive element to move linearly along the first direction.

[0006] Optionally, the drive block includes a drive block body and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is mounted on the housing along a second direction, and the drive block body is mounted on the rotating shaft. The drive block body is rotatable around the rotating shaft. The rotation of the drive block body around the second direction drives the bracket to move linearly along the first direction. Along a third direction, the distance between the rotating shaft and the bracket remains constant. Any two of the first, second, and third directions are perpendicular.

[0007] Optionally, the bracket is provided with a first toothed groove along the first direction, and the drive block body is provided with at least a second toothed groove, wherein the first toothed groove and the second toothed groove mesh.

[0010] Optionally, the housing includes a front panel with a movable opening. The movable block is mounted on the side of the drive block body away from the bracket. At the first preset position, the movable block at least partially passes through the movable opening, and the movable block at least partially protrudes relative to the movable opening.

[0011] Optionally, the movable block includes a movable block body and a second elastic member. The movable block body is connected to the side of the driving block away from the bracket. A receiving groove is recessed on the side of the movable block away from the movable opening, and the second elastic member is received in the receiving groove. The housing also includes a limiting wall, which is disposed opposite to the movable opening. One end of the second elastic member abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove, and the other end abuts against the limiting wall.

[0012] Optionally, the conductive element may have an abutting surface at one end protruding from the housing, the abutting surface being used for electrical contact between the conductive element and a device other than the charging mechanism.

[0013] Optionally, the drive block further includes a retaining ring, which is engaged with the rotating shaft and is used to limit the axial displacement of the rotating shaft.

[0014] To address the aforementioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is to provide a charging pile, including a charging pile body and the aforementioned charging mechanism. The charging mechanism is installed on the charging pile body, and a portion of the charging mechanism is electrically connected to a power source within the charging pile body.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are as follows: A charging mechanism is provided, comprising a housing, a conductive module, and a movable module. The conductive module includes a conductive element and a bracket, the conductive element being mounted on the bracket, and the bracket being capable of linear movement relative to the housing along a first direction. The movable module includes a movable block and a driving block, the driving block being rotatably mounted on the housing, one end of the driving block being connected to the movable block, and the other end being connected to the bracket.

When a device other than the charging mechanism pushes against the movable block, the charging mechanism moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, the movable block drives the driving block to move, the driving block drives the bracket to move linearly along the first direction, and the bracket drives the conductive element to move linearly along the first direction. With the above structure, the conductive element extends in a straight line relative to the housing, thereby preventing poor contact between the conductive element and devices other than the charging mechanism.

[0028] Please see Figure 1This illustration shows a perspective view of a charging pile 1000 provided in one embodiment of this application. The charging pile 1000 includes a charging pile body 200 and a charging mechanism 100. The charging mechanism 100 is installed in the charging pile body 200, and part of the charging mechanism 100 is electrically connected to a power source within the charging pile body 200. It is understood that the charging pile 1000 provided in this embodiment is used to charge electrically powered vehicles such as floor scrubbers, mobile robots, electric bicycles, and electric vehicles. To better understand the embodiments of this application, the following description will use a floor scrubber and a floor scrubber charging pile 1000 as examples.

[0029] For the aforementioned charging mechanism 100, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The diagrams show a perspective view, an exploded view, a first preset position schematic diagram, and a second preset position schematic diagram of a charging mechanism 100 provided in one embodiment of this application. The charging mechanism 100 includes a housing 10, a conductive module 20, and a movable module 30. The conductive module 20 includes a conductive element 21 and a support 22. The conductive element 21 is mounted on the support 22, which is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction X. The movable module 30 includes a movable block 31 and a driving block 32. The driving block 32 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10, with one end connected to the movable block 31 and the other end connected to the support 22. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 and Figure 5In conjunction with other accompanying drawings, the charging mechanism 100 has a first preset position and a second preset position. In the first preset position, the movable block 31 protrudes from the housing 10, and the conductive element 21 is recessed from the housing 10. In the second preset position, the movable block 31 is flush with or recessed from the housing 10, and the conductive element 21 protrudes from or is flush with the housing 10. When a device other than the charging mechanism 100 pushes against the movable block 31, the charging mechanism 100 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position. The movable block 31 drives the drive block 32 to move, the drive block 32 drives the bracket 22 to move linearly along the first direction X, and the bracket 22 drives the conductive element 21 to move linearly along the first direction X. In conjunction with the above-described charging pile 1000, the housing 10 can be directly installed on the charging pile body 200, so that the housing 10 and the charging pile body 200 together form the charging pile 1000. Alternatively, the housing 10 can be a housing 10 that independently houses the conductive module 20 and the movable module 30, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the charging mechanism 100. It should be noted that the conductive component 21 is used to electrically connect with the power source inside the charging pile body 200, so that when the floor scrubber triggers the active block 31, the conductive component 21 directly contacts the charging component on the floor scrubber, thereby electrically connecting the power source inside the charging pile body 200 with the charging component on the floor scrubber through the conductive component 21, so that the charging pile body 200 charges the floor scrubber.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 In conjunction with other accompanying drawings, it should be noted that the conductive element 21 may have a contact surface 211 at one end protruding from the housing 10. The contact surface 211 is used for electrical contact between the conductive element 21 and other equipment outside the charging mechanism 100. That is, by changing the contact surface on the conductive element 21 to the contact surface 211, the contact area between the conductive element 21 and the charging component on the floor scrubber is increased, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the conductive element 21 and the charging component.

[0031] For the aforementioned driver block 32, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The drive block 32 includes a drive block body 321 and a rotating shaft 322. The rotating shaft 322 is mounted on the housing 10 along the second direction Y. The drive block body 321 is mounted on the rotating shaft 322 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 322. The rotation of the drive block body 321 around the second direction Y drives the bracket 22 to move linearly along the first direction X. The distance between the rotating shaft 322 and the bracket 22 remains unchanged along the third direction Z. Any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular. Optionally, the drive block 32 and the bracket 22 can be driven by a crank-slider mechanism, a chain drive mechanism, or a gear drive mechanism. Specifically, the housing 10 includes a front panel 11 and a mounting wall 14. The wall surface of the mounting wall 14 is perpendicular to the front panel 11, the plane of the front panel 11 is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the wall surface of the mounting wall 14 is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The rotating shaft 322 is rotatably mounted on the mounting wall 14. It should be noted that the constant distance between the rotating shaft 322 and the bracket 22 along the third direction Z means that the distance from the connection point between the drive block body 321 and the bracket 22 to the rotating shaft 322 remains constant. This ensures that the bracket 22 will not deflect when it moves along the first direction X, so that the conductive component 21 always moves along the first direction X. On the one hand, the conductive component 21 has good electrical contact with the floor scrubber, preventing poor contact; on the other hand, the stable linear movement of the conductive component 21 and the bracket 22 can prevent the conductive component 21 from scratching the floor scrubber and reduce damage to the appearance of the floor scrubber; furthermore, the stable linear movement of the conductive component 21 and the bracket 22 can prevent the conductive component 21 from accidentally touching the communication charging component on the floor scrubber, thus preventing damage to the floor scrubber circuit.

[0032] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The drive block 32 also includes a retaining ring 323, which engages with the rotating shaft 322 and limits the axial displacement of the rotating shaft 322. Optionally, the rotating shaft 322 is rotatably mounted on the mounting wall 14. In some embodiments, the drive block 32 includes one retaining ring 323, which, together with the mounting wall 14, clamps and fixes the rotating shaft 322 to limit the axial displacement of the rotating shaft 322; in other embodiments, the drive block 32 includes two retaining rings 323, which together clamp the rotating shaft 322 and the mounting wall 14.

[0033] It is understood that in some embodiments, the active block 31 is set as an electric trigger button, and the drive block 32 is set as a drive block 32 such as a servo motor and a damping cylinder. When the floor scrubber comes into contact with the charging pile 1000, the floor scrubber triggers the electric trigger button, thereby causing the servo motor to push out the conductive part 21, thereby charging the floor scrubber.

[0034] Further, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The bracket 22 is provided with a first toothed groove 221 along the first direction X, and the drive block body 321 is provided with at least a second toothed groove 3211. The first toothed groove 221 and the second toothed groove 3211 mesh. Specifically, the second toothed groove 3211 is at least partially arranged around the drive block body 321. It is worth mentioning that the toothed transmission can effectively improve the transmission efficiency, so that when the floor scrubber comes into contact with it, the movable block 31 retracts relative to the front panel 11 while driving the drive block body 321 to rotate. The drive block body 321 drives the bracket 22 to move linearly along the first direction X through the meshing of the first toothed groove 221 and the second toothed groove 3211. That is, the synchronization rate of the movement of the movable block 31 and the bracket 22 through the toothed transmission is high, which improves the user experience of the floor scrubber.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The housing 10 includes a front panel 11 and a guide bracket 12. The front panel 11 has a charging opening 111, through which the conductive element 21 is exposed. The guide bracket 12 surrounds the charging opening 111 and extends along a first direction X. The bracket 22 is housed within the guide bracket 12 and is slidable relative to the bracket 22 along the first direction X. It is understood that when the charging mechanism 100 is in a second preset position, the conductive element 21 can protrude from or be flush with the charging opening 111, and the conductive element 21 is exposed in the charging opening 111. When the conductive element 21 protrudes from the charging opening 111, the charging component on the floor scrubber can be recessed relative to the floor scrubber. When the conductive element 21 is flush with the charging opening 111, the charging component on the floor scrubber can protrude from the floor scrubber. That is, the positional relationship between the conductive element 21 and the charging opening 111 can be adjusted according to the actual structure of the charging component of different devices. The guide bracket 12 is also provided with a guide clearance portion 121, which is located on the side of the guide bracket 12 near the drive block body 321. The first tooth groove 221 is exposed to the guide clearance portion 121. The guide clearance portion 121 is used to make way for the first tooth groove 221 so that the first tooth groove 221 and the second tooth groove 3211 mesh. On the other hand, the guide clearance portion 121 is located on both sides of the first tooth groove 221, so that the guide clearance portion 121 can restrict the movement of the bracket 22 in the second direction Y.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 3The conductive module 20 also includes a rear cover 23 and a first elastic element 24. The rear cover 23 and the bracket 22 movably engage the conductive element 21. One end of the conductive element 21 protrudes relative to the bracket 22, and the other end of the conductive element 21 protrudes relative to the rear cover 23. The first elastic element 24 is wound around the conductive element 21, with one end abutting against the conductive element 21 and the other end abutting against the rear cover 23. It should be noted that the movable engagement of the conductive element 21 by the rear cover 23 and the bracket 22 means that the rear cover 23 and the bracket 22 together form a cavity, and the conductive element 21 is located within the cavity and movably inserted into the bracket 22 and the rear cover 23, with the first elastic element 24 wound around the conductive element 21. This structure allows the conductive element 21 to maintain good contact with the charging component on the floor scrubber when it comes into contact with it. Firstly, the first elastic element 24 continuously applies elastic force to ensure good contact between the conductive element 21 and the charging component. Secondly, when the conductive element 21 protrudes excessively relative to the bracket 22, the compression of the first elastic element 24 reduces the rigid contact between the conductive element 21 and the charging component, thus protecting the conductive element 21. Optionally, the first elastic element 24 can be a spring, damping ring, hollow rubber column, or other elastic component. It is understood that in this embodiment, the first elastic element 24 is a compression spring, i.e., one end of the compression spring abuts against the conductive element 21, and the other end abuts against the rear cover 23. In other embodiments, the first elastic element 24 can also be a tension spring, with one end connected to the conductive element 21 and the other end connected to the bracket 22. It is worth noting that the conductive element 21 has a protrusion to facilitate the contact or connection between the first elastic element 24 and the conductive element 21.

[0037] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The front panel 11 is also provided with a movable opening 112. The movable block 31 is installed on the side of the drive block body 321 away from the bracket 22. At a first preset position, the movable block 31 at least partially passes through the movable opening 112, and the movable block 31 at least partially protrudes relative to the movable opening 112. It is worth mentioning that in the movable module 30, the movable block 31 and the drive block 32 are integrally formed or relatively fixed. When the drive block body 321 rotates around the pivot 322, the movable block 31 also rotates around the pivot 322. The distance between the movable block 31 and the pivot 322 is different from the distance between the drive block body 321 and the pivot 322, so that when the floor scrubber comes into contact with the movable block 31, the drive block body 321 engages with the first tooth groove 221 through the second tooth groove 3211, so as to facilitate the movement of the drive bracket 22.

[0038] Further, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The movable block 31 includes a movable block body 311 and a second elastic member 312. The movable block body 311 is connected to the side of the drive block 32 away from the bracket 22. A receiving groove 3111 is recessed on the side of the movable block 31 away from the movable opening 112, and the second elastic member 312 is received in the receiving groove 3111. The housing 10 also includes a limiting wall 13, which is disposed opposite to the movable opening 112. One end of the second elastic member 312 abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 3111, and the other end abuts against the limiting wall 13. Specifically, in order to facilitate the contact of the floor scrubber with the movable block body 311, the volume of the movable block body 311 is larger than that of the drive block body 321, so that the larger volume of the movable block body 311 can provide a larger contact area for the floor scrubber to contact with it. It is worth mentioning that the portion of the movable block body 311 away from the driving block body 321 is designed with rounded corners. That is, at least a portion of the movable block body 311 is equal in size to the movable opening 112, thereby preventing the movable block body 311 from extending too far under the elastic force of the second elastic member 312, thus limiting the movement of the movable block body 311. On the other hand, the rounded corners facilitate the rotation of the movable block body 311. Optionally, the second elastic member 312 can be a spring, a damping ring, a hollow rubber column, or other elastic parts.

[0039] Please refer to the above embodiments. Figure 3 The housing 10 is further described in conjunction with other accompanying drawings. The housing 10 includes a front panel 11, a guide bracket 12, a limiting wall 13, and a mounting wall 14. The charging opening 111 and the movable opening 112 are sequentially arranged on the front panel 11 along a third direction Z. The guide bracket 12 is arranged around the charging opening 111 and extends along a first direction X. The mounting wall 14 extends from the guide bracket 12 along a third direction Z. The limiting wall 13 is connected to the mounting wall 14 and extends along a second direction Y so that the limiting wall 13 is arranged opposite to the movable opening 112 for the second elastic member 312 to abut.

[0040] In conjunction with the above embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The movement of the charging mechanism 100 will be further explained:

[0041] When the floor scrubber needs to be charged, it comes into contact with the charging pile 1000; the charging mechanism 100 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position; the floor scrubber comes into contact with the movable block body 311, and the movable block body 311 rotates around the rotating shaft 322 to drive the driving block body 321 to rotate around the rotating shaft 322; through the rotation of the driving block body 321, the meshing second tooth groove 3211 drives the first tooth groove 221 to move along the first direction X, at which time the second elastic member 312 is compressed; the bracket 22 with the first tooth groove 221 moves along the first direction X relative to the guide bracket 12 as a whole; the conductive member 21 in the bracket 22 extends out with the bracket 22 and comes into contact with the charging member on the floor scrubber; the conductive member 21 extends out along the first direction X and comes into contact with the conductive member 21, the bracket 22 continues to move along the first direction X, the first elastic member 24 is compressed to apply elastic force to the conductive member 21, and improve the interaction force between the conductive member 21 and the charging member.

[0042] When the floor scrubber finishes charging, it moves away from the charging pile 1000; the charging mechanism 100 moves from the second preset position to the first preset position; the first elastic member 24 applies elastic force to the conductive member 21, and the conductive member 21 returns to the state of being clamped by the bracket 22 and the rear cover 23; the second elastic member 312 applies elastic force to the bottom of the receiving groove 3111 and the limiting wall 13, thereby causing the movable block 31 body to rotate around the rotating shaft 322 closer to the movable opening 112; the movable block 31 body drives the driving block body 321 to rotate around the rotating shaft 322, so that the meshing second tooth groove 3211 drives the first tooth groove 221 to move away from the charging opening 111 along the first direction X, so as to retract the bracket 22.

[0043] This application provides a charging mechanism 100, which includes a housing 10, a conductive module 20, and a movable module 30. The conductive module 20 includes a conductive element 21 and a support 22. The conductive element 21 is mounted on the support 22, which is movable relative to the housing 10 along a first direction X. The movable module 30 includes a movable block 31 and a driving block 32. The driving block 32 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10, with one end connected to the movable block 31 and the other end connected to the support 22. The charging mechanism 100 has a first preset position and a second preset position. In the first preset position, the movable block 31 protrudes relative to the housing 10, and the conductive element 21 is recessed relative to the housing 10. In the second preset position, the movable block 31 is flush with or recessed relative to the housing 10, and the conductive element 21 is either protruding or flush with the housing 10. When a device other than the charging mechanism 100 pushes against the movable block 31, the charging mechanism 100 moves from a first preset position to a second preset position. The movable block 31 drives the drive block 32 to move, and the drive block 32 drives the bracket 22 to move linearly along the first direction X. The bracket 22 drives the conductive element 21 to move linearly along the first direction X. Through the above structure, the conductive element 21 extends relative to the housing 10 in a straight line, thereby preventing poor contact between the conductive element 21 and the device other than the charging mechanism 100.
