Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] Other embodiments of the invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This invention is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.

[0020] The aerial track type charging robot is a charging device arranged on a suspended track, can move along the track, identify the position of the device to be charged, and complete the butt joint of the charging gun head. The charging robot can realize accurate positioning through the preset track for efficient charging, and is suitable for charging requirements of various scenes such as new energy vehicles, industrial equipment and logistics robots.

[0021] The aerial track type charging robot in the prior art often only detects the charging signal of the charging interface when running on the track, and uses the presence or absence of the charging signal as a means to perceive the charging state, so that the detection method is single and cannot guarantee the safety of the charging robot during charging.

[0022] In order to overcome the above problems, the present application provides a charging state detection method and system of a charging robot, which is applied to a charging state detection system. The charging state detection method comprises: acquiring original image data around the charging robot by using an image acquisition device; identifying the original image data to obtain charging state information of each charging gun head; and determining the detection result of the charging state according to the detection result of the charging signal in the charging interface corresponding to each charging gun head and the charging state information of each charging gun head. The charging state detection provided by the present application combines visual recognition and charging signal detection, improves the safety of the charging robot in the charging state, avoids the occurrence of charging accidents, and guarantees the charging safety of the charging robot.

[0023] In addition, in the scene of multiple charging robots and multiple devices to be charged, the charging sequence can also be coordinated through the charging state detection to improve the use efficiency of the device. The power of each charging robot can also be reasonably coordinated and dynamically allocated through the charging information of each charging robot, so as to ensure the balanced use of the charging robots in the whole area and maintain the performance stability of the charging robots in the whole area.

[0024] The charging state detection method and system of the charging robot provided by the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In a first aspect, as shown in the Figure 1 The present application provides a charging state detection system for a charging robot, which comprises: a charging robot; and an image acquisition device and a charging gun head arranged on the charging robot.

[0026] As shown in the Figures 2 to 4As shown, the application provides a charging state detection system of a charging robot, which comprises a charging robot 10, an image acquisition device arranged at the front end of the charging robot, and a charging gun head 30. The image acquisition device is used to capture the image of the charging gun head arranged on the charging robot, and comprises at least one AI camera. In an embodiment, as shown Figure 4 As shown, in order to obtain a panoramic image of the charging gun head, the image acquisition device comprises a first AI camera 101 and a second AI camera 102. It is conceivable that the image acquisition device can be one panoramic camera or more AI cameras arranged at different angles.

[0027] Further, as shown Figure 2 The charging robot has a hexahedral structure as a whole, which can be designed as a cuboid or a cube. A pulley block is arranged on one face of the charging robot, which slides back and forth on the track 20 by using the pulley block. Taking the face provided with the pulley block as the bottom face, the face opposite to the bottom face is called the top face, and the positions of the two edges adjacent to the top face are respectively provided with the image acquisition device and the charging gun head. The image acquisition device is used to acquire the scene image in front of and around the charging robot, so as to identify the current charging state of the charging gun head according to the acquired image of the charging gun head.

[0028] The charging gun head is used to provide a physical interface for the device to be charged, through which the electric energy of the charging station is transmitted to the battery system of the device to be charged. As shown Figure 3 The charging gun head can be arranged below the charging robot, so as to facilitate the connection of the physical interface. When the device to be charged (for example, a new energy vehicle) needs to be charged, the charging robot slides to the specified position along the track, and the charging gun head can automatically or manually establish the connection with the device to be charged, so as to realize the transmission of electric energy.

[0029] The charging state detection method comprises: Step S1, acquiring real-time image data around the charging robot by using the image acquisition device.

[0030] The image acquisition device arranged on the charging robot is used to capture the image of the charging gun head on the charging robot, so as to obtain the real-time charging gun head image. In the embodiment, the image acquisition device comprises a first AI camera and a second AI camera; the first AI camera and the second AI camera are respectively arranged at the two sides of the front end of the charging robot; the charging robot is arranged on the slide rail and moves along the slide rail, or the charging robot is in a fixed position of the slide rail and is in a charging state. The charging gun head image is the image data of the charging gun head captured by the AI camera.

[0031] In an implementation manner, the first AI camera and the second AI camera are respectively 180° fisheye cameras. Since the 180° fisheye camera has an ultra-wide viewing angle, the horizontal viewing angle can be extended to 180°, and the vertical viewing angle can also reach more than 150°, therefore, the 180° fisheye cameras are respectively arranged on the left and right sides, which can realize the all-around coverage of the surrounding environment of the charging gun head, and eliminate the monitoring blind area.

[0032] Further, the camera can be combined with AI algorithm and motion control technology to realize tracking shooting or monitoring of the visual identification mark of the gun head.

[0033] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 Since the lighting device 103 can provide a stable light source, the lighting device 103 is used to supplement the first AI camera and the second AI camera, so as to reduce the image noise increase and detail loss caused by insufficient ambient light, and make the camera capture a clear picture.

[0034] In order to obtain more accurate surrounding environment information, in the specific implementation, the first AI camera and the second AI camera shoot an image every preset time, or shoot an image every preset distance when the charging robot moves on the track. For example, an image is shot every second, or an image is shot every 2 meters. The images shot by the first AI camera and the second AI camera can be saved in a historical image database, so as to facilitate extraction from the historical image database and comparison when it is necessary to compare the currently shot image with the historically shot image, to find the difference, and then perform a corresponding response operation according to the found difference.

[0035] Step S2, analyzing the charging gun head image to obtain real-time physical state information of the charging gun head.

[0036] When the charging gun head image is obtained in the above step S1, the obtained image is identified to obtain the charging state information of the charging gun head in the image. In this step, only the charging gun head installed on the charging robot itself is identified.

[0037] Further, the charging state information includes: the insertion and extraction state of the charging gun head and the charging duration of the charging gun head. The insertion and extraction state of the charging gun head refers to the physical state of the current charging gun head, which is in the inserted state or the extracted state. In detail, the insertion and extraction state of the charging gun head refers to the physical connection state between the charging gun head and the charging interface (such as the electric vehicle charging port or the charging pile socket), which is usually divided into insertion (connection), extraction (disconnection) and intermediate transition state (such as half insertion, poor contact) and the like. In this embodiment, the insertion and extraction state of the charging gun head only detects the inserted state and the extracted state.

[0038] In combination Figure 5 As shown, the charging gun head of the charging robot is provided with a gun head visual identification mark 301 with special marks. When the charging gun head is in the charging state, the gun head visual identification mark 301 cannot be identified because it is covered by the interface. When the charging gun head is not in the charging state, the gun head visual identification mark 301 is exposed and can be identified. Therefore, when identifying the insertion and extraction state of the charging gun head, whether the gun head visual identification mark can be checked to determine the insertion and extraction state of the current charging gun head.

[0039] In addition to the fixed-position risk object and the position-dynamic change risk object, the images captured by the first AI camera and the second AI camera can also include the charging gun head and the smoke and fire generated in the environment, because the charging robot can also include the charging gun head or the harmful gas such as smoke and fire generated in the surrounding environment during the charging process, which poses a risk to the normal operation of the charging robot.

[0040] In detail, the step of analyzing the charging gun head image to obtain the real-time physical state information of each charging gun head includes: Step S21, identifying whether the charging gun head image contains the gun head visual identification mark.

[0041] In this step, in specific implementation, the processor arranged in the charging robot can be used to analyze the information contained in the original image data to identify whether the gun head visual identification mark on the charging gun head is contained. Alternatively, the original image data can be sent to the connected background server, and the background server can be used to identify whether the charging gun head image contains the gun head visual identification mark.

[0042] In detail, in order to more accurately identify the charging state information of the charging gun head, an AI data analysis model corresponding to the detection of the gun head visual identification mark can be established in this step, and the AI data analysis model established and trained can be used to identify the gun head visual identification mark. For example, a database for training the AI data analysis model is established, the database stores charging gun head images taken at different angles, a plurality of images containing the gun head visual identification mark are extracted from the database to create a training sample set, the training sample set is input into a preset neural network training model, and after multiple iterations, the AI data analysis model for identifying the gun head visual identification mark is obtained.

[0043] In specific implementation, the real-time mark image data of the charging gun head of the charging robot is acquired by using the image acquisition device; the real-time image data is sent to the background server and compared with the charging gun head mark original image data in the database by AI; and whether the charging gun head is in the physical separation state is confirmed according to the comparison difference of the gun head mark data.

[0044] If the charging gun head visual identification mark is contained, it is determined that the charging gun head of the charging robot is in a physically separated state, otherwise, the charging gun head of the charging robot is in a physically connected state.

[0045] In this step, the AI camera is arranged to only capture the image of the charging gun head of the current charging robot, and the charging robot only needs to determine the charging state of its own charging gun head.

[0046] In one implementation, the step of identifying the current plug-in state of the charging gun head comprises: J1. First, two AI cameras capture images of the positions where the charging heads are located, respectively, to obtain charging gun head images.

[0047] J2. The captured charging gun head images containing the charging heads are sent to the background server.

[0048] J3. The background server identifies the area where the charging gun head is located in the charging gun head image, and determines whether the charging gun head image contains the gun head visual identification mark.

[0049] J4. If it is detected that the area where the charging gun head is located contains the gun head visual identification mark, it is determined that the charging gun head has been separated from the vehicle, and the charging gun head is in an unplugged state.

[0050] J5. If the gun head visual identification mark is not detected, it is determined that the charging gun head of the charging robot has not been separated from the vehicle, and the charging gun head is in a plugged state.

[0051] The gun head visual identification mark mentioned in the above steps can be a specific pattern arranged on the front end connection port of the charging gun head. In order to realize that the charging pattern can be captured from different angles. In specific implementation, the charging pattern can be a yellow marked ring sleeved on the connection port.

[0052] Further, the real-time physical state information further comprises: a charging duration of the charging gun head; and the step of analyzing the charging gun head image to determine the real-time physical state information of the charging gun head further comprises: extracting a charging gun head historical image captured within a preset time period before the current time point from an image database; identifying the current charging gun head image and the charging gun head historical image, determining the duration of the charging gun head in the plugged state, and determining the charging duration according to the duration.

[0053] When it is detected that the current charging gun head is in the inserted state, then further based on the historically taken charging gun head image, the physical connection duration of the charging gun head is obtained, and according to the correlation between the actual charging duration and the physical connection duration, it is assisted to judge that the current charging gun head and the device to be charged may be in a link internal fault state.

[0054] Specifically, the judgment method of the charging duration is to obtain the historical shooting image of the position before the current time by a first preset time period based on the position of the charging gun head in the currently taken image, and respectively judge whether the charging gun head at the position in the historical shooting image is always in the inserted state, if it is always in the inserted state, then continue to obtain the historical shooting image located before the second preset time period of the first preset time period, and judge whether the charging gun head at the position in the historical shooting image is always in the inserted state, if it is always in the inserted state, then continue to obtain the historical shooting image located in the second preset time period, and judge whether the charging gun head at the position is in the inserted state, until it is detected that the charging gun head at the position is in the pulled-out state at a certain historical time point. The time difference between the time point when the charging gun head at the position changes from the pulled-out state to the inserted state and the current time point is calculated, and the time difference is taken as the charging duration.

[0055] Step S3, according to the detection result of the charging connection signal of the charging gun head and the corresponding vehicle charging interface, and combining the real-time physical state information of the charging gun head, the charging state detection result of the charging gun head is determined.

[0056] In an implementation manner, the charging robot risk perception system further comprises a background server connected with the robot body; wherein the background server is provided with an AI data analysis model for analyzing the received data information.

[0057] The step of judging the real-time physical state information of the charging gun head by analyzing the charging gun head image by the background server comprises: The charging gun head image is sent to the background server, so that the background server analyzes the charging gun head image and the charging gun head image by AI data analysis model, and judges the real-time physical state information of the charging gun head.

[0058] Combined Figure 6 As shown in the specific application embodiment, the step of identifying the current plug state of the charging gun head comprises: J1, first, two AI cameras respectively take images of the position where the charging gun head is located.

[0059] J2, the image containing the charging gun head taken is sent to the background server.

[0060] J3, identify the area of the gun head visual identification mark in the image of the charging gun head, and identify whether the image contains the gun head visual identification mark.

[0061] J4, if it is detected that the area where the charging gun head is located contains the gun head visual identification mark, it is determined that the charging gun head has been separated from the vehicle, and the charging gun head is in an uninserted state.

[0062] J5, if the gun head visual identification mark with the specific mark is not checked, the charging gun head of the charging robot is not separated from the vehicle, and it is determined that the charging gun head is in an inserted state.

[0063] The gun head visual identification mark mentioned in the above steps can be a specific pattern arranged on the front end connection port of the charging gun head. In order to realize that the specific pattern can be shot from different angles. In specific implementation, the specific pattern can be a fluorescent special color or color bar mark ring sleeved on the connection port.

[0064] In specific implementation, the detection result of whether the charging gun head is in an inserted state can also be verified with the data connection state between the charging head and the vehicle to realize accurate judgment of the charging state of the charging gun head.

[0065] Further, the charging risk related to whether the image contains a target area with smoke features. If it is detected that there is smoke feature around the charging robot, timely feedback is required, and the detection result information of the charging state is re-determined according to the detected smoke feature.

[0066] The step of using the AI data analysis model to analyze the received original image data and the charging state information of the current charging robot to determine the corresponding risk perception information further comprises: Using the AI data analysis model to analyze the original image data, identifying whether the original image data contains a target area with smoke features, and determining the risk probability of fire according to the area size and position of the target area with smoke features.

[0067] In combination Figure 7 As shown, the detailed steps of identifying whether the image of the charging gun head contains a target area with smoke features include: K1, transmitting the image of the charging gun head to the background server.

[0068] K2, the background server uses an AI data analysis model to identify whether each image in the image of the charging gun head contains a region corresponding to the features related to "fire, smoke, and fog".

[0069] The third object recognition model for identifying smoke fire can focus on the significant features (such as color and texture) of smoke / fire by embedding an SE module or CBAM in a CNN, or improve the detection ability of dispersed smoke by capturing long-distance dependencies through global interaction in a Transformer architecture (Transformer is a deep learning model architecture based on self-attention mechanism), and can also improve the accuracy of the trained model in identifying smoke fire by adding adversarial samples in the training data.

[0070] K3, if it is identified that the charging gun head image contains a region consistent with the smoke fire feature, the charging robot charging is paused, the region containing the smoke feature detected is recorded, and step K4 is performed, otherwise, it returns to K1.

[0071] K4, the recording is sent to the operation and maintenance platform, so that the operation and maintenance platform determines whether to restart the charging of the charging robot according to the recording.

[0072] In this step, the detection result of the charging state is determined according to the detection result of the charging signal in the charging interface corresponding to each charging gun head and the charging state information of the charging gun head, and specifically includes: The detection of the charging signal in the charging interface and the detection of the visual identification mark of the gun head are combined to improve the accuracy of the charging detection, for example: if it is detected that the charging interface detects the charging signal, and the corresponding charging port does not detect the specific mark, it indicates that the current charging gun is in the charging state from two aspects, if the charging interface does not detect the charging signal, and the charging port also does not detect the specific mark, it indicates that the current charging port may be in the automatic power-off state (the automatic power-off state of charging is that when the battery to be charged is fully charged, the voltage reaches the rated value, the system automatically determines that the charging is completed, so as to control the output of the charging signal to stop, so that the device to be charged is in standby state).

[0073] The charging detection method of the charging robot disclosed in the embodiment is based on visual recognition, realizes the detection of the charging state of the charging interface, and combines the detection result of the charging state and the detection result of the charging signal of the current charging interface to determine the charging state of the current charging robot.

[0074] In a second aspect, the application also provides a charging state detection system of a charging robot, which comprises: a charging robot, an image acquisition device arranged at the front end of the charging robot and a charging gun head, and a processor arranged in the charging robot.

[0075] Specifically, the image acquisition device is configured to acquire an image of a charging gun head arranged on the charging robot; the processor is configured to analyze the image of the charging gun head, determine real-time physical state information of the charging gun head, and determine a charging state detection result of the charging gun head according to a detection result of a charging connection signal between the charging gun head and a corresponding vehicle charging interface and in combination with the real-time physical state information of the charging gun head.
