[0056] The main controller 1 is electrically connected to the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the battery management unit 4;

[0057] The voltage-current conversion unit 2 is electrically connected to the external power supply unit 3, and the voltage-current conversion unit 2 is electrically connected to the battery management unit 4 and the robot unit 5 respectively in an on-off manner;

[0062] In this embodiment, the main controller 1 mainly performs voltage and current regulation, robot motion control, and power supply switching of the robot system; the voltage and current conversion unit 2 mainly converts the AC power from AC to DC, and adjusts the converted output voltage and output current according to actual needs; the battery management unit 4 mainly detects the working status of the battery module and manages charging and discharging; the robot system serves as a load in the system circuit, and the main controller 1 performs robot-related servo control, bus communication, IO interaction and other operations.

Specifically, the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage and current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 can be combined into an external power supply circuit, and the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the battery management unit 4, the voltage and current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 can be combined into an internal power supply circuit; the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage and current conversion unit 2 and the battery management unit 4 can be combined into a charging circuit.

[0064] The present invention can switch the system to an external or internal power supply system or form a charging system through the combined use of various units, thereby increasing flexibility and applicability and reducing the complexity of the system.

[0065] The present invention is applicable to multi-axis palletizing robots (such as six-axis palletizing robots and four-axis palletizing robots) and SCARA robots.

[0066] In one embodiment, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 includes an AC / DC controller, an AC / DC converter, a DC / DC controller, and a DC / DC converter;

[0067] The AC / DC controller and the AC / DC converter are a group. The AC / DC controller is used to cooperate with the main controller to control the conversion process of the AC / DC converter. The AC / DC converter is used to convert alternating current into direct current.

[0068] The DC / DC controller and DC / DC converter are another group. The DC / DC controller is used to cooperate with the main controller to adjust the output voltage to meet the needs of different loads, and the DC / DC converter is used to convert DC power into DC power of different voltage levels.

[0069] In this embodiment, the design of the voltage-current conversion unit 2 ensures the high efficiency and stability of the power supply system. The use of the AC / DC controller in conjunction with the AC / DC converter enables the system to process AC input from different power sources and convert it into a stable DC output to meet the operating requirements of the robot unit 5. The combination of the DC / DC controller and the DC / DC converter further optimizes the power supply quality, and through precise control and regulation, ensures the stability and adaptability of the power supply of the robot under different working conditions. This design not only improves the utilization rate of energy, but also extends the working time of the robot and reduces maintenance costs.

[0070] Specifically, the number of groups of AC / DC controller and AC / DC converter is at least one group, and the number of groups of DC / DC controller and DC / DC converter is at least one group; while ensuring system safety, it can meet the needs of various load industrial control and increase applicability and flexibility.

[0071] In one embodiment, a parallel circuit connected in parallel to the robot unit 5 is provided on the connection circuit between the AC / DC converter and the DC / DC converter, and a first relay K1 is provided on the parallel circuit;

[0072] A second relay K2 is provided on the connection circuit between the DC / DC converter and the robot unit 5;

[0073] A third relay K3 is provided on the connection circuit between the DC / DC converter and the battery management unit 4 .

[0074] In this embodiment, by controlling the on / off of the first relay K1, the second relay K2 and the third relay K3, the switching between the three modes of the external power supply circuit, the internal power supply circuit and the charging circuit can be realized. When selecting the corresponding mode, the industrial robot power supply system is first initialized by the main controller 1, that is, each unit in the system is initialized, and the first relay K1, the second relay K2 and the third relay K3 are disconnected; then the corresponding relays are controlled to be on / off.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when the external power supply circuit is selected, only the second relay K2 is controlled to be turned on, so that the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 are connected to form an external power supply circuit for powering the robot. This mode reduces the cost of the entire system and meets the needs of repeatable robot work in a long-term fixed position.

[0076] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, when the internal and external power supply circuit is selected, the first relay K1 and the third relay K3 are controlled to be turned on, so that the main controller 1, the battery management unit 4, the voltage and current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 can be connected to form an internal power supply circuit for powering the robot. This mode is not restricted by the external wiring harness, is convenient for movement, and can meet some outdoor situations where it is inconvenient to connect to the mains.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, when the charging circuit is selected, the third relay K3 is controlled to be turned on, so that the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the battery management unit 4 are connected to form a charging circuit for charging the battery module.

[0078] Based on this, these three modes can be used in different scenarios, and the main controller 1 can switch different modes according to the voltage and current in the circuit to increase the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0079] In some other embodiments, when the external power supply circuit is enabled, the battery management unit 4 can be controlled to enter a standby state at the same time to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

[0080] In some other embodiments, when the enabled external power supply circuit is abnormally powered off, the second relay K2 is disconnected by the main controller 1, and the first relay K1 and the third relay K3 are closed, and the battery management unit 4 is started to power on mode at the same time, that is, it is quickly switched to the internal power supply mode to ensure the continuous output of electric energy and avoid the loss of robot position and damage to external equipment after the external power supply is abnormally powered off.

[0081] In one embodiment, the robot unit 5 includes an IO module, a bus module and a servo module;

[0082] The IO module is used to collect external sensor data of the robot and / or send control signals to the robot;

[0083] The bus module is used for communication and data transmission between the main controller 1 and the robot;

[0084] The servo module is used for motion control, drive and power management, protection and diagnosis of the robot.

[0085] In this embodiment, through the coordinated work of the IO module, the bus module and the servo module, the robot unit 5 can efficiently complete complex tasks while maintaining smooth communication with the main controller 1 to ensure accurate execution of instructions and timely feedback of data.

[0086] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the battery management unit 4 includes a battery management controller and a battery module, and the battery module is provided with at least two energy storage batteries; the battery management controller is used to detect the working state of the battery module and manage the charging and discharging state.

[0087] In this embodiment, the battery management unit 4 can be used as a mobile power source to power other devices. The battery module is mainly composed of an energy storage battery 1 and an energy storage battery 2. The energy storage battery is generally a lithium battery, a chromium-nickel battery, a semi-solid battery, etc. When the battery detection system detects that the power is insufficient, it can actively stop the energy storage battery 1 or the energy storage battery 2 from working, unplug the energy storage battery 1 or 2, and recharge the energy storage battery 1 or the energy storage battery 2 separately. After the power is recharged, plug it back to the original position, switch the system power supply mode, and then restore the energy storage battery 1 or the energy storage battery 2 to continue to supply power.

[0088] See also Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention further provides an industrial robot power supply method, which is applied to the above industrial robot power supply system. The industrial robot power supply method includes:

[0091] S603 , controlling the main controller 1 , the external power supply unit 3 , the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the battery management unit 4 to be connected to form a charging circuit for charging the battery module.

[0092] In this embodiment, steps S601 to S603 are three modes, which can meet various needs. Specifically, the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 are combined into an external power supply circuit, and the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the battery management unit 4, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the robot unit 5 are combined into an internal power supply circuit; the connection circuits of the main controller 1, the external power supply unit 3, the voltage-current conversion unit 2 and the battery management unit 4 are combined into a charging circuit. Thus, three modes of external power supply circuit, internal power supply circuit and charging circuit can be formed, and any of these three modes can be switched according to the scene, which increases the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0093] See also Figure 7 In one embodiment, step S601 includes:

[0100] In this embodiment, this mode is not restricted by an external wiring harness, is easy to move, and can meet the needs of some outdoor situations where it is inconvenient to connect to the mains.

[0101] See also Fig. 9 In one embodiment, step S603 includes:
