These terms are mainly for better describing the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. In addition, in addition to being used to indicate an orientation or position relationship, some of the above terms may also be used to indicate other meanings, such as the term "upper" may also be used to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0034] In order to reduce the probability of misoperation during charging and optimize the user experience, more and more automatic charging devices are installed in charging stations. The automatic charging device uses sensors to obtain the position of the charging seat on the vehicle 05, and then uses the position of the charging seat and the position of the charging head unit 15 as a reference to analyze the movement path of the charging head unit 15 to the charging seat. This method has high requirements for accuracy, and charging cannot be completed if there is a slight deviation.
[0035] This embodiment discloses a charging component, such as Figure 1As shown, the charging head assembly 01 may include a fixed seat unit 11, a front movable seat unit 12, a rear movable seat unit 13, a guide unit 14, and a charging head unit 15. The fixed seat unit 11 may include a base 111, a front positioning module 112, and a rear positioning module 113. The front positioning module 112 may be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the rear positioning module 113. The front positioning module 112 may be fixedly connected to the base 111. The rear positioning module 113 may be fixedly connected to the base 111. The fixed connection method may increase the strength of the connection, thereby increasing the service life.
[0036] The front movable seat unit 12 may include a front movable module 121 and a front elastic module 122. The front movable module 121 may be arranged on a side of the rear positioning module 113 close to the front positioning module 112. The front movable module 121 may abut against the front positioning module 112. The front movable module 121 may be spaced apart from the rear positioning module 113. One end of the front elastic module 122 may be detachably connected to the front movable module 121, and the other end may be detachably connected to the front positioning module 112. The force applied by the front elastic module 122 enables the front movable module 121 and the front positioning module 112 to move in a direction close to each other. The front movable module 121 may move relative to the front positioning module 112 when subjected to an applied force, and the front movable module 121 may abut against the front positioning module 112 when not subjected to an applied force to maintain relative stability. Since in most cases the central axis of the charging seat assembly 04 can be close to horizontal after the vehicle 05 stops in the battery exchange area, the force applied by the front elastic module 122 can prevent the charging head unit 15 from having too large an angle with the horizontal plane when the charging seat assembly 04 is not inserted, thereby reducing the steps of controlling the central axis angle of the charging head unit 15, thereby improving the charging efficiency.
[0037] The rear movable seat unit 13 may include a rear movable module 131 and a rear elastic module 132. The rear movable module 131 may be arranged on a side of the rear positioning module 113 away from the front positioning module 112. The rear movable module 131 may abut against the rear positioning module 113. One end of the rear elastic module 132 may be detachably connected to the rear movable module 131, and the other end may be detachably connected to the rear positioning module 113. The force applied by the rear elastic module 132 enables the rear movable module 131 and the rear positioning module 113 to move toward a direction close to each other. The rear movable module 131 may move relative to the rear positioning module 113 when subjected to an applied force, and the rear movable module 131 may abut against the rear positioning module 113 when not subjected to an applied force to maintain relative stability. Since in most cases the central axis of the charging seat assembly 04 can be close to horizontal after the vehicle 05 stops in the battery exchange area, the force applied by the rear elastic module 132 can prevent the charging head unit 15 from having too large an angle with the horizontal plane when the charging seat assembly 04 is not inserted, thereby reducing the steps of controlling the central axis angle of the charging head unit 15, thereby improving the charging efficiency.
[0038] The charging head unit 15 can pass through the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 in sequence. The charging head unit 15 can be detachably connected to the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 respectively. When the charging head unit 15 moves toward the charging seat assembly 04 on the target vehicle 05, even if there is a certain error between the position of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, when the charging head unit 15 is inserted into the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 detachably connected to the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 can be relatively displaced with the front positioning module 112 and the rear positioning module 113, so as to adapt to the charging seat assembly 04, so that even if there is an error between the position of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can be inserted into the charging seat assembly 04 to complete charging.
[0039] The guide unit 14 can pass through the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 in sequence. The guide unit 14 can be detachably connected to the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 respectively. The cross-sectional area of the guide unit 14 along the radial direction of the guide unit 14 can be gradually reduced along the direction from the rear movable module 131 to the front movable module 121, so that a slope is formed at one end of the guide unit 14. When the charging head assembly 01 moves toward the charging seat assembly 04, the guide unit 14 can first abut against the charging seat assembly 04. When the charging head assembly 01 moves toward the charging seat assembly 04 but there is a certain error between the position of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the slope of the guide unit 14 can guide the guide unit 14 to insert into the charging seat assembly 04, and at the same time, the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 can allow the guide unit 14 to have a relative displacement with the front positioning module 112 and the rear positioning module 113, so that the guide unit 14 adapts to the charging seat assembly 04, so that the guide unit 14 guides the charging head unit 15 to insert into the charging seat assembly 04.
[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7As shown, the diameter d of the circumscribed circle of the connection point between the front elastic module 122 and the front movable module 121 can be smaller than the diameter D of the circumscribed circle of the connection point between the rear elastic module 132 and the rear movable module 131. This arrangement makes it easier for the front movable module 121 to move when the front movable module 121 and the rear movable module 131 are subjected to the same force. When there is a certain error in the position of the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15, during the process of inserting the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14 into the charging seat assembly 04, the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 and the front movable module 121 can rotate around the rear elastic module 132 at the center of the circumscribed circle of the connection point of the rear movable module 131, so that the end of the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14 close to the charging seat assembly 04 can float more flexibly, and the end of the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14 away from the charging seat assembly 04 can provide stable support; when the error between the positions of the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, the end of the charging head unit 15 away from the charging seat assembly 04 floats with the rear movable module 131, and the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 floats with the front movable module 121, thereby achieving the effect of more smoothly adapting to the charging seat assembly 04.
[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7As shown, the front elastic module 122 may include two front upper tension springs 1221 and two front lower tension springs 1222. One end of the front upper tension spring 1221 may be detachably connected to one side of the front positioning module 112 along the first direction (the first direction may be the height direction of the front positioning module 112), and the other end of the front upper tension spring 1221 may be detachably connected to the front movable module 121. The two front upper tension springs 1221 may be arranged at intervals along the second direction (the second direction may be the length direction of the front positioning module 112). One end of the front lower tension spring 1222 may be detachably connected to the other side of the front positioning module 112 along the first direction, and the other end of the front lower tension spring 1222 may be detachably connected to the front movable module 121. The two front lower tension springs 1222 may be arranged at intervals along the second direction. In this way, the two front upper tension springs 1221, the two front lower tension springs 1222, and the front positioning module 112 may be subjected to uniform force, and the service life may be extended. The circumscribed circle diameter d1 of the connection points between the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 and the front movable module 121 may be smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter D of the connection point between the rear elastic module 132 and the rear movable module 131 . The front movable module 121 is closer to the charging seat assembly 04 than the rear movable module 131. The mode of d1<D can make the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 more flexible. When there is a certain position error between the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15, during the process of inserting the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14 into the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can rotate around the rear elastic module 132 at the center of the circumscribed circle of the connection point of the rear movable module 131, so that the charging head unit 15 can float more flexibly; when the position error between the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, the end of the charging head unit 15 away from the charging seat assembly 04 floats with the rear movable module 131, and the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 floats with the front movable module 121, so as to achieve the effect of more smoothly adapting to the charging seat assembly 04. The forces applied by the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 can make the front movable module 121 and the front positioning module 112 move towards each other. Since in most cases the central axis of the charging seat assembly 04 can be close to horizontal after the vehicle 05 stops in the battery exchange area, the force applied by the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 can prevent the charging head unit 15 from having too large an angle with the horizontal plane when the charging seat assembly 04 is not inserted, thereby reducing the steps of controlling the central axis angle of the charging head unit 15, thereby improving the charging efficiency.
[0042] In other embodiments, the elastic force of the front upper tension spring 1221 may be greater than the elastic force of the front lower tension spring 1222 , thereby compensating for the downward movement caused by the weight of the charging head unit 15 .
[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, since the structure of the front positioning module 112 is compact and the distances between the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 at the connection points with the front movable module 121 are very close, in order to prevent the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 from interfering with each other and the front movable module 121 from being too flexible, the diameter d2 of the circumscribed circle of the connection points between the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 and the front positioning module 112 can be larger than the diameter d1 of the circumscribed circle of the connection points between the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 and the front movable module 121 respectively. This method can also allow the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 to have a certain inclination relative to the first direction (the first direction can be the height direction of the front positioning module 112) and the second direction (the second direction can be the length direction of the front positioning module 112), so that the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 can provide the front movable module 121 with sufficient force along the first direction and the second direction, thereby preventing the front movable module 121 from being too flexible and causing the charging head unit 15 to be too flexible, thereby ensuring that the charging head unit 15 is sufficiently stable when inserted into the charging seat assembly 04.
[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the rear elastic module 132 may include two rear upper tension springs 1321 and two rear lower tension springs 1322. One end of the rear upper tension spring 1321 may be detachably connected to one side of the rear positioning module 113 along the first direction (the first direction may be the height direction of the front positioning module 112), and the other end of the rear upper tension spring 1321 may be detachably connected to the rear movable module 131. The two rear upper tension springs 1321 may be spaced apart along the second direction (the second direction may be the length direction of the front positioning module 112). One end of the rear lower tension spring 1322 may be detachably connected to the other side of the rear positioning module 113 along the first direction, and the other end of the rear lower tension spring 1322 may be detachably connected to the rear movable module 131. The two rear lower tension springs 1322 are spaced apart along the second direction. The circumscribed circle diameter d of the connection point between the front elastic module 122 and the front movable module 121 may be smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter D1 of the connection points between the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 and the rear movable module 131. The larger the circumscribed circle diameter of the connection point, the more stable it is. The front movable module 121 is closer to the charging base assembly 04 than the rear movable module 131. The method of d<D1 can make the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging base assembly 04 more flexible. When there is a certain error in the position of the charging base assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15, during the process of inserting the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14 into the charging base assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can rotate around the center of the circumscribed circle of the connection point between the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 and the rear movable module 131, respectively, so that the charging head unit 15 can float more flexibly; when the position error between the charging base assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, the end of the charging head unit 15 away from the charging base assembly 04 and the rear movable module 131, and the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging base assembly 04 and the front movable module 121 can float together, thereby achieving the effect of more smoothly adapting to the charging base assembly 04. The force applied by the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 can move the rear movable module 131 and the rear positioning module 113 toward each other. Since the central axis of the charging seat assembly 04 can be nearly horizontal after the vehicle 05 stops in the battery exchange area in most cases, the force applied by the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 can prevent the charging head unit 15 from being too far away from the horizontal plane when it is not inserted into the charging seat assembly 04, and can reduce the steps of controlling the central axis angle of the charging head unit 15, thereby improving the charging efficiency.
[0045] In other embodiments, the elastic force of the rear upper tension spring 1321 may be greater than the elastic force of the rear lower tension spring 1322 , thereby compensating for the downward movement caused by the weight of the charging head unit 15 .
[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the circumscribed circle diameter D2 of the connection points between the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 and the rear positioning module 113 can be smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter D1 of the connection points between the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 and the rear movable module 131. The distance between the connection points of the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 at the rear movable module 131 is large enough, and the distance between the connection points of the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 at the rear positioning module 113 is small, so that the charging head assembly 01 can be made compact without interfering with each other between the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322. At the same time, this method can also make the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 have a certain inclination relative to the first direction and the second direction, so that the two front upper tension springs 1221 and the two front lower tension springs 1222 can provide sufficient force along the first direction and the second direction for the front movable module 121. When the position error between the charging head unit 15 and the charging base assembly 04 is small, the two rear upper tension springs 1321 and the two rear lower tension springs 1322 can stably limit the movement range of the charging head unit 15 away from one end of the charging base assembly 04 through the rear movable module 131, so that the charging head unit 15 is more flexible near the end of the charging base assembly 04 and the front movable module 121. The charging head unit 15 away from the end of the charging base assembly 04 and the rear movable module 131 will only be displaced when the position error between the charging base assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, so that the charging head unit 15 away from the end of the charging base assembly 04 provides support when the position error between the charging base assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is small, thereby improving the smoothness of the charging head unit 15 inserted into the charging base assembly 04.
[0047] In some embodiments, the elastic force of the rear elastic module 132 can be greater than the elastic force of the front elastic module 122. When the position error between the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is small, the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 moves flexibly together with the front movable module 121, and the end of the charging head unit 15 away from the charging seat assembly 04 provides support together with the rear movable module 131; when the position error between the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, the end of the charging head unit 15 away from the charging seat assembly 04 and the rear movable module 131, and the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 and the front movable module 121 are displaced, thereby making it smoother for the charging head unit 15 to be inserted into the charging seat assembly 04.
[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the front movable module 121 may include a front movable plate 1211, a front movable hole 1212, and a front sliding hole 1213. The front movable plate 1211 may be arranged on a side of the rear positioning module 113 close to the front positioning module 112. The front movable plate 1211 may abut against a side of the front positioning module 112 close to the rear positioning module 113. The front movable plate 1211 may be spaced apart from the rear positioning module 113 to provide a certain movable space for the front movable plate 1211. The end of the front elastic module 122 away from the front positioning module 112 may be detachably connected to the front movable plate 1211. Since the front elastic module 122 is often stretched and compressed and easily damaged, the detachable connection method can facilitate the replacement of the front elastic module 122, which can shorten the maintenance time of the charging head assembly 01. When the front elastic module 122 applies force, the front movable plate 1211 and the front positioning module 112 can move in a direction close to each other. The front movable hole 1212 and the front sliding hole 1213 can be arranged at intervals to avoid interference. The front movable hole 1212 can penetrate from one side of the front movable plate 1211 to the other side along the third direction (the third direction can be the thickness direction of the front movable plate 1211). The charging head unit 15 can pass through the front movable hole 1212 and the rear movable module 131 in sequence. The front movable hole 1212 can be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the charging head unit 15. The charging head unit 15 can be detachably connected to the front movable hole 1212 and the rear movable module 131 respectively, so that the charging head unit 15 can move with the front movable plate 1211 and the rear movable module 131. The front sliding hole 1213 can penetrate from one side of the front movable plate 1211 to the other side along the third direction. The guide unit 14 can pass through the front sliding hole 1213 and the rear movable module 131 in sequence. The front sliding hole 1213 can be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the guide unit 14. The guide unit 14 can be detachably connected to the front sliding hole 1213 and the rear movable module 131 respectively, so that the guide unit 14 can move with the front movable plate 1211 and the rear movable module 131.
[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the rear movable module 131 may include a rear movable plate 1311, a rear movable hole 1312, and a rear sliding hole 1313. The rear movable plate 1311 may be arranged on the side of the rear positioning module 113 away from the front positioning module 112. The rear movable plate 1311 may abut against the side of the rear positioning module 113 away from the front positioning module 112. The end of the rear elastic module 132 away from the rear positioning module 113 may be detachably connected to the rear movable plate 1311. Since the rear elastic module 132 is often stretched and compressed and easily damaged, the detachable connection method can facilitate the replacement of the rear elastic module 132. The force applied by the rear elastic module 132 can make the rear movable plate 1311 and the rear positioning module 113 move in a direction close to each other, so that the rear movable plate 1311 can move only when subjected to an external force, and can remain fixed when not subjected to an external force. When there is no error between the positions of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can be directly inserted into the charging seat assembly 04. The rear movable hole 1312 and the rear sliding hole 1313 can be arranged at intervals to avoid interference. The rear movable hole 1312 can penetrate from one side of the rear movable plate 1311 to the other side along the third direction (the third direction can be the thickness direction of the front movable plate 1211). The rear movable hole 1312 can be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the charging head unit 15. The charging head unit 15 can pass through the front movable module 121 and the rear movable hole 1312 in sequence. The charging head unit 15 can be detachably connected to the front movable module 121 and the rear movable hole 1312 respectively, so that the charging head unit 15 can move with the front movable module 121 and the rear movable plate 1311. The rear sliding hole 1313 can penetrate from one side of the rear movable plate 1311 to the other side along the third direction. The guide unit 14 can pass through the front movable module 121 and the rear sliding hole 1313 in sequence. The guide unit 14 can be detachably connected to the front movable module 121 and the rear sliding hole 1313 respectively, so that the guide unit 14 can move with the front movable module 121 and the rear movable plate 1311.
[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the front positioning module 112 may include a front positioning plate 1121 and a front positioning hole 1122. The front positioning plate 1121 may be parallel to and spaced apart from the rear positioning module 113. The front positioning plate 1121 may be fixedly connected to the base 111, and the fixed connection method may allow the front positioning plate 1121 to be firmly connected to the base 111, thereby increasing the service life. The side of the front elastic module 122 away from the front movable module 121 may be detachably connected to the front positioning plate 1121, and the detachable connection method may facilitate the replacement of the fragile front elastic module 122. The front positioning hole 1122 may pass through from one side of the front positioning plate 1121 to the other side along a third direction (the third direction may be the thickness direction of the front movable plate 1211).
[0051] The rear positioning module 113 may include a rear positioning plate 1131 and a rear positioning hole 1132. The front positioning plate 1121 may be parallel to the rear positioning plate 1131 and spaced apart. The rear positioning plate 1131 may be fixedly connected to the base 111, and the fixed connection method may allow the rear positioning plate 1131 to be firmly connected to the base 111, thereby increasing the service life. The side of the rear elastic module 132 away from the rear movable module 131 may be detachably connected to the rear positioning plate 1131, and the detachable connection method may facilitate the replacement of the fragile rear elastic module 132. The rear positioning hole 1132 may pass through from one side of the rear positioning plate 1131 to the other side along the third direction. The charging head unit 15 may pass through the front positioning hole 1122 and the rear positioning hole 1132 in sequence. The charging head unit 15 may be detachably connected to the front positioning hole 1122 and the rear positioning hole 1132, respectively.
[0052] In other embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the front movable module 121 may further include a front abutment ball 1214; a portion of the front abutment ball 1214 may be embedded in the front movable plate 1211. Figure 6 As shown, the front positioning module 112 may also include a front limiting groove 1123. The front limiting groove 1123 is recessed from one side of the front positioning plate 1121 close to the rear positioning plate 1131 toward the other side along the thickness direction of the front positioning plate 1121. The front movable plate 1211 may abut against the limiting groove via the front abutment ball 1214. When the front movable plate 1211 moves, there is rolling friction between the front abutment ball 1214 and the front limiting groove 1123, which may slow down the wear speed of the front positioning module 112, and may further make the relative movement of the front movable plate 1211 and the front positioning module 112 more flexible, so that even if there is a certain error between the positions of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 may be smoothly inserted into the charging seat assembly 04. As shown Figure 7 As shown, the rear movable module 131 may further include a rear abutment ball 1314; a portion of the rear abutment ball 1314 may be embedded in the rear movable plate 1311. Figure 5As shown, the rear positioning module 113 may also include a rear limiting groove 1133. The rear limiting groove 1133 is recessed from one side of the rear positioning plate 1131 away from the front positioning plate 1121 to the other side along the thickness direction of the rear positioning plate 1131. When the rear movable plate 1311 moves, there is rolling friction between the rear abutment ball 1314 and the rear limiting groove 1133, which can slow down the wear speed of the rear positioning module 113, and can further make the relative movement of the rear movable plate 1311 and the rear positioning module 113 more flexible, even if there is a certain error between the position of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can be smoothly inserted into the charging seat assembly 04. The front movable seat unit 12 may include a plurality of front abutment balls 1214; the plurality of front abutment balls 1214 may be arranged at intervals. The plurality of rear abutment balls 1314 can increase the abutment area with the rear positioning module 113, and can make the force of the rear positioning module 113 more uniform. The maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the plurality of rear abutment balls 1314 may be greater than the maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the plurality of front abutment balls 1214. In the process of inserting the charging head unit 15 into the charging seat assembly 04, this method allows the front movable module 121 to move flexibly compared to the rear movable module 131, so that the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 can not only move in a direction parallel to the front positioning module 112, but also change the angle between the central axis of the charging head unit 15 and the side of the front positioning module 112 away from the front movable module 121, so that the charging head unit 15 can adapt to the charging seat assembly 04 more flexibly and quickly, thereby making the process of inserting the charging head unit 15 into the charging seat assembly 04 smoother. The maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the front abutment ball 1214 may be smaller than the maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the rear elastic module 132 at the connection point of the rear movable module 131, which can further make the front movable module 121 more flexible than the rear movable module 131. The depth of the front limit groove 1123 can be 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the diameter of the rear abutment ball 1314; the diameter of the front limit groove 1123 can be larger than the diameter of the rear abutment ball 1314. In this way, the front abutment ball 1214 has a larger range of movement in the front limit groove 1123, making the front movable module 121 more flexible, thereby making the end of the charging head unit 15 close to the charging seat assembly 04 more flexible. When the position error between the charging seat assembly 04 and the charging head unit 15 is large, the shallow depth of the front limit groove 1123 can also allow the front abutment ball 1214 to move from the front limit groove 1123 to the surface of the front positioning plate 1121, so that the front abutment ball 1214 can have a larger range of movement according to actual conditions. When there is an error between the position of the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can also be inserted into the charging seat assembly 04 and start charging.
[0053] The rear movable seat unit 13 may include a plurality of rear abutment balls 1314; the plurality of rear abutment balls 1314 may be arranged at intervals. The plurality of rear abutment balls 1314 may increase the abutment area with the rear positioning module 113, so that the force of the rear positioning module 113 may be more uniform. The rear positioning module 113 may include a plurality of rear limiting grooves 1133; the rear limiting grooves 1133 may be arranged corresponding to the rear abutment balls 1314, so that each rear abutment ball 1314 may be limited by the rear limiting grooves 1133. The maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the multiple rear abutment balls 1314 can be larger than the maximum circumscribed circle diameter of the rear elastic module 132 at the connection point of the rear movable module 131, which can effectively prevent the rear movable module 131 from being subjected to force from the charging head unit 15 and the guide unit 14, and the abutment ball on one side abuts against the rear positioning module 113 and the rear abutment ball 1314 on the other side is spaced apart from the rear positioning module 113, so that the charging head unit 15 can be more stable away from one end of the charging seat assembly 04, and can provide stable support when the charging head unit 15 is inserted into the charging seat assembly 04. The depth of the rear limit groove 1133 can be 1 / 4~1 / 3 of the diameter of the rear abutment ball 1314, and the diameter of the rear limit groove 1133 can be equal to the diameter of the rear abutment ball 1314. When the rotation of the front movable module 121 is supported, the rear abutment ball 1314 can have a small range of movement when rolling in the rear limit groove 1133, further expanding the movement range of the front movable module 121 and the charging head unit 15 near the end of the charging seat assembly 04; when the position error between the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04 is large, so that the rear movable module 131 needs to have a large displacement, the rear abutment ball 1314 can move from the rear limit groove 1133 to the surface of the rear positioning plate 1131, so that when there is a position error between the charging head unit 15 and the charging seat assembly 04, the charging head unit 15 can also be smoothly inserted into the charging seat assembly 04.

The terminal rotating arm 23 may be detachably connected to the base 111, and may drive the base 111 to rotate with the central axis of the terminal rotating arm 23 as the rotation center.
[0060] The control component 03 may also include a controller, a position sensor 32, and a sensor support rod 33.

The controller can be electrically connected to the visual sensor 31, the position sensor 32, the sensor support rod 33, and the multi-axis robot 02 respectively, so as to obtain parameters for calculating the moving path of the multi-axis robot 02.

The charging seat module 42 may include a charging seat body 421 and a charging seat core 422. The mounting light hole 415 may be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the charging seat body 421. The charging seat body 421 may be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the charging seat core 422, and the charging seat body 421 may be detachably connected to the charging seat core 422.
