For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0069] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0070] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 9 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a regulating device for a car charger robot is provided, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a fixing base 1 and a mounting assembly 2.

[0072] The fixing base 1 can be installed on the mechanical arm 200 of the car charging robot; the mounting component 2 is rotatably connected to the fixing base 1 and is used to install the camera 400 and the charging gun 500. The mounting component 2 includes a control structure 201. The user can manually drive the control structure 201 to drive the mounting component 2 to rotate relative to the fixing base 1, so that the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 rotate synchronously.

[0073] In the above embodiment, after the fixing seat 1 is installed on the mechanical arm 200 of the car charging robot, the operating structure 201 is manually driven to drive the mounting assembly 2 to rotate relative to the fixing seat 1, thereby driving the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 on the mounting assembly 2 to rotate synchronously, and then accurately adjust the position through the imaging coordination of the camera 400 to find a suitable angle for the charging gun 500 to be inserted into the charging port of the electric vehicle; the adjustment of the adjustment device does not require complex electric drive or control signal transmission, and only manual operation is required to achieve the angle adjustment operation of the camera 400 and the charging gun 500, thereby solving the problem that the current adjustment device is too complicated in structure and has a high failure rate.

[0074] Specifically, in the actual application of the charging robot, since the positions of the charging ports of different models may be different, and for a specific model or a class of the same model, the height position and design angle of the charging port are the same, in fact, only one adjustment is needed for the charging gun 500, so as to adjust the charging gun 500 to a suitable position where it can be smoothly inserted into the charging port. Using the adjustment device provided in this embodiment, the user manually drives the operating structure 201 according to the visual system to drive the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate relative to the fixed seat 1, and synchronously adjusts the angle of the camera 400 and the charging gun 500. Through the imaging coordination of the camera 400, the position is accurately adjusted, and the charging gun 500 is adjusted to a position in line with the charging port of the electric vehicle, and the charging gun 500 can be inserted into the charging port of the electric vehicle through the car charging robot. For a specific model or a class of the same model, only one adjustment is needed. The adjustment device provided in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to adjust, which reduces the cost and control difficulty.

[0075] Furthermore, the mounting assembly 2 includes one or more structural members, and mounting positions are set thereon, and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 are directly or indirectly installed in the corresponding mounting positions.

[0076] Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the structural form of the operating structure 201 , and it only needs to be able to drive the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate relative to the fixing base 1 .

[0077] As an embodiment, the operating structure 201 is configured as a rod, which is connected to one side of the mounting component 2 away from the rotational connection position between the mounting component 2 and the fixing base 1. The user can drive the rod along an arc trajectory to drive the mounting component 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate.

[0078] As another embodiment, the operating structure 201 is configured as a turntable, which is connected to the rotational connection position between the mounting assembly 2 and the fixing base 1. The user can drive the turntable to rotate to drive the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fixing seat 1 is provided with a slide groove 1011 , and the operating structure 201 is set as a rod-shaped structure and assembled into the slide groove 1011 ; the operating structure 201 is driven to move along the slide groove 1011 to drive the installation component 2 to rotate relative to the fixing seat 1 .

[0080] In the above embodiment, a slide groove 1011 is provided on the fixing seat 1 to cooperate with the operating structure 201 of the rod-shaped structure, so that the operating structure 201 moves along the slide groove 1011 to drive the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate, so as to improve the smoothness and stability of the rotation adjustment of the camera 400 and the charging gun 500.

[0081] Specifically, the rod-shaped operating structure 201 is connected and cooperated with the main structure of the installation component 2, and passes through the slide groove 1011. The user manually drives the operating structure 201 along an arc-shaped trajectory to pass through the slide groove 1011, thereby adjusting the angle of the overall rotation drive of the installation component 2.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slide groove 1011 is set to an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the circle where the slide groove 1011 is located coincides with the rotation connection position of the installation component 2 and the fixing seat 1.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the slide groove 1011 is set to an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the circle where the slide groove 1011 is located is designed to coincide with the rotational connection position between the mounting component 2 and the fixing base 1, so as to avoid interference between the operating structure 201 and the slide groove 1011 when the operating structure 201 is manually driven, thereby enabling the operating structure 201 to drive the mounting component 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate smoothly and stably.

[0084] Specifically, by setting the slide groove 1011 as an arc-shaped structure and designing the center of the circle where the slide groove 1011 is located to coincide with the rotational connection position of the mounting assembly 2 and the fixed seat 1, the driving path of the operating structure 201 is limited in the arc-shaped path of the slide groove 1011, ensuring smooth and stable driving of the operating structure 201.

[0085] Further, in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the perspective, the slide groove 1011 is distributed along the height direction of the fixing base 1, so that the operating structure 201 drives the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to adjust the pitch angle.

[0086] Furthermore, the pitch angle of the mounting assembly 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon is adjusted to a range of ±20° to ±30° based on the horizontal plane.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the slide grooves 1011 are designed to be two symmetrically arranged, so that the driving path of the operating structure 201 is limited in the circular arc path of the two symmetrical sections of the slide grooves 1011, further improving the stability of the operating structure 201 driving the installation component 2 and the camera 400 and the charging gun 500 thereon to rotate.

[0092] Specifically, the angle range of the arcuate slide groove 1011 is 40° to 60°.

[0095] Specifically, the fastening structure 3 is configured as a butterfly nut, which is screwed onto the operating structure 201 configured as a rod-shaped structure and pressed against the side wall of the connecting plate 101 of the fixing seat 1, thereby locking the operating structure 201 and the mounting assembly 2 driven by it as a whole on the fixing seat 1.

[0096] Furthermore, two fastening structures 3 configured as butterfly nuts are provided, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the operating structure 201 configured as a rod-shaped structure, and are respectively used to tighten the side walls of the two connecting plates 101 to fix the operating structure 201 and the mounting assembly 2 as a whole.
