[0019] In the present application, a telescopic dustproof bellows is arranged between the front end face of the positioning seat and the rear end of the power supply plug to prevent external dust from entering the conical hole.
[0020] The working principle of the plug docking error automatic compensation adjuster in the present application is described as follows:
[0021] (1) The mobile charging robot identifies the position of the power receiving socket on the column of the simple pile through a 3D structured light vision camera, then adjusts the posture of the multi-axis joint robot so that the power supply plug at the front end of the multi-axis joint robot is aligned with the power receiving socket and gradually inserted into the socket of the power receiving socket; in the case that the insertion direction of the power supply plug is consistent with the axis of the socket of the power receiving socket, the top pressure spring on the rear end of the power supply plug is sufficient to overcome the resistance of the insertion, so that the power supply plug can be smoothly inserted into the socket of the power receiving socket; in the case that the insertion direction of the power supply plug is inconsistent with the axis of the socket of the power receiving socket, i.e. the insertion direction of the power supply plug has a certain angular deviation, the resistance of the insertion will gradually increase during the insertion of the power supply plug, and the top pressure spring on the rear end of the power supply plug is insufficient to overcome the resistance of the insertion, resulting in a backward movement of the conical body at the rear end of the power supply plug until the rear end face of the conical body is pressed against the ball head top column of the first section of the multi-axis joint robot; during the backward movement of the conical body, the side surface of the conical body will be out of contact with the conical hole on the positioning seat (i.e. a certain gap space will be formed between the side surface of the conical body and the conical hole on the positioning seat), and the angular position of the conical body will be adjusted in the gap space to make the insertion direction of the power supply plug at the front end of the conical body consistent with the axis direction of the socket of the power receiving socket, and then the power supply plug can be smoothly inserted into the power receiving socket under the pressure of the ball head top column.
[0022] (2) The front end face of the first section of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm at the front of the mobile charging robot is provided with 3-4 first distance measuring sensors distributed thereon, and the mobile charging robot can calculate the relative inclination angle of the rear end face of the cone according to the data measured by the first distance measuring sensors; four pairs of second distance measuring sensors are arranged on the positioning seat, and the mobile charging robot can obtain the interval distance between each side face of the cone and each side face of the conical hole on the positioning seat according to the data measured by the second distance measuring sensors; so that the control system of the mobile charging robot can dynamically adjust the posture of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm in real time according to the relative inclination angle of the rear end face of the cone and the interval distance between each side face of the cone and each side face of the conical hole on the positioning seat, so that the conical hole on the positioning seat is coaxial with the cone.
[0023] The above-mentioned adaptive adjustment of the position of the cone and the dynamic adjustment of the posture of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm according to the distance measuring sensor can realize the minimum plugging force in the docking and separation process of the power supply plug and the power receptacle, and can further avoid the disadvantage of excessive plugging force caused by insertion position error between the power supply plug and the power receptacle, thereby effectively preventing damage to the power supply plug and the power receptacle.

[0025] (1) Order information receiving: the mobile charging robot receives the vehicle parking space information needing to be charged from the parking lot charging management system through the wireless communication module;
[0026] (2) Mobile positioning: the mobile charging robot autonomously positions and navigates through the navigation system, and moves to the side of the simple pile corresponding to the order parking space needing to be charged;
[0027] (3) Plug and socket docking: the mobile charging robot identifies the position of the power receptacle on the stand of the simple pile through the 3D structured light vision camera, then adjusts the posture of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm, so that the power supply plug at the front end of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm is aligned with the power receptacle and then inserted into the power receptacle, and the battery pack supplies power to the simple pile;
[0028] (4) Vehicle charging: the charging gun is connected to the charging interface of the vehicle to be charged in an artificial manner, the vehicle to be charged is charged, and the charging gun is hung in place after charging is completed;
[0029] (5) Fee settlement: after charging is completed, the mobile charging robot pulls out the power supply plug from the power receptacle, and sends the information of the end of charging to the parking lot charging management system through the wireless communication module, the parking lot charging management system automatically deducts the payment account of the charging vehicle, and completes the non-inductive payment;
[0030] In the process of the plug and socket docking of the step (4), the mobile charging robot automatically compensates and adjusts the docking error of the plug, dynamically adjusts the position of the power supply plug in the process of being inserted into the power receiving socket, realizes the adaptive insertion of the position of the power supply plug, and prevents damage caused by forcibly inserting the power supply plug into the power receiving socket.
[0031] In the process of the plug and socket docking of the step (4), the mobile charging robot also dynamically adjusts the posture of the multi-axis joint manipulator in real time according to the ranging data obtained by the first ranging sensor and the second ranging sensor, so that the minimum plug-in force is obtained.

[0055] The working principle of the plug docking error automatic compensation adjuster 13 in this embodiment is described as follows:
[0056] (1) The mobile charging robot 2 identifies the position of the power receiving socket 4 on the column 3 of the simple pile 1 through the 3D structured light vision camera 12, then adjusts the posture of the multi-axis articulated robot hand 11 so that the power supply plug 9 at the front end of the multi-axis articulated robot hand 11 is aligned with the power receiving socket 4 and gradually inserted into the socket of the power receiving socket 4; in the case where the insertion direction of the power supply plug 9 is consistent with the axis of the socket of the power receiving socket 4, the top pressure spring 17 pressing on the rear conical body 16 of the power supply plug 9 is sufficient to overcome the resistance of insertion, so that the power supply plug 9 can be smoothly inserted into the socket of the power receiving socket 4; in the case where the insertion direction of the power supply plug 9 is inconsistent with the axis of the socket of the power receiving socket 4, i.e., there is a certain angular deviation in the insertion direction of the power supply plug 9, the resistance of the power supply plug 9 during insertion will gradually increase, and the top pressure spring 17 pressing on the rear conical body 16 of the power supply plug 9 is not sufficient to overcome the resistance of insertion, resulting in a backward movement of the conical body 16 at the rear end of the power supply plug 9 until the rear end face of the conical body 16 presses on the ball head top column 18 of the first section of the mechanical arm at the front end of the multi-axis articulated robot hand 11; during the backward movement of the conical body 16, the side surface of the conical body 16 will be out of contact with the conical hole on the positioning seat 14 (i.e., a certain gap will be formed between the side surface of the conical body 16 and the conical hole 15 on the positioning seat 14), and the angle position of the conical body 16 will be adaptively adjusted in the gap space so that the insertion direction of the power supply plug 9 at the front end of the conical body 16 tends to be consistent with the axis direction of the socket of the power receiving socket 4, and then the power supply plug 9 can be smoothly inserted into the power receiving socket 4 under the pressure of the ball head top column 18.
[0057] (2) The first distance measuring sensor 19 is arranged on the front end face of the first section of the multi-axis articulated mechanical arm 11, and the mobile charging robot 2 can calculate the relative inclination angle of the rear end face of the cone body 16 according to the data measured by the first distance measuring sensor 19.
