Abstract
Description
A charging device Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to a charging device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, family companion robots are gradually entering people's lives, greatly improving the happiness index of groups such as children, the elderly, and women living alone. To facilitate the use of family companion robots, many products on the market are equipped with charging stations. However, the electrodes of existing charging stations are mostly exposed, making them susceptible to contamination and posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of charging device to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a charging device for a robot charging base station. The electrodes of this device are concealed, making them less susceptible to contamination and ensuring high safety. Specifically, it includes a base, a cover, and electrodes.
[0004] The electrode is movably connected to the base;
[0005] The cover is disposed above the electrode and is slidably connected to the base;
[0006] The cover also has a reset structure, which is connected to the base.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with an electrode groove, and the electrode is elastically connected to the electrode groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the cover has a pressure cap portion, which corresponds to the electrode and is attached to the upper surface of the base.
[0009] Furthermore, the pressure cap is flat.
[0010] Furthermore, the cover has a contact portion adapted to fit the robot housing.
[0011] Furthermore, the reset structure is elastic, and when the robot is in a charging state, the reset structure is in a compressed state.
[0012] Furthermore, the reset structure is a spring.
[0013] Furthermore, the base has a limiting structure, which is connected to the cover to restrict the movement trajectory of the cover.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, when the charging base station is in standby mode, the electrodes of this invention are covered by the cover and are not directly exposed to the outside world. They are not easily contaminated by dust or other debris, which would affect the charging effect. Furthermore, they will not accidentally come into contact with the human body or other conductive objects, thus preventing safety accidents such as electric shock or short circuit.

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment of the invention provides a charging device for a robot charging base station. The electrode 3 of this device is concealed, making it less susceptible to contamination and ensuring high safety. Specifically, it includes a base 1, a cover 2, and electrodes 3. The electrodes 3 are movably connected to the base 1, and the cover 2 is positioned above the electrodes 3 and slidably connected to the base 1. The cover 2 also has a reset structure 21 connected to the base 1. When the robot charging base station is in standby mode, the electrodes 3, covered by the cover 2, are not directly exposed to the outside environment, making them less susceptible to contamination by dust or other debris that could affect charging performance. Furthermore, they are less likely to accidentally come into contact with the human body or other conductive objects, preventing electric shock or short circuits. When the robot enters the base station for charging, the robot's shell contacts and pushes the cover 2, causing it to slide on the base 1, thus exposing the electrodes 3 and connecting them to the robot's charging port for charging. After the robot completes charging and leaves the charging base station, the cover 2 returns to its original position covering the electrodes 3 under the action of the reset structure 21, continuing to protect the electrodes.
[0021] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the base 1 of this embodiment of the invention also has an electrode groove 11 for accommodating the electrode 3, wherein the electrode 3 is elastically connected to the electrode groove 11. When the cover 2 is above the electrode 3, the cover 2 will compress the electrode 3 into the electrode groove 11 of the base 1. When the robot enters the base station and pushes the cover 2 away from the electrode 3, the electrode 3 will pop out under the action of elastic force and contact the robot's charging port.
[0022] Further, as shown in FIG1, the cover 2 of this embodiment of the invention has a flat pressing portion 22, the pressing portion 22 being positioned corresponding to the electrode 3 and fitting against the upper surface of the base 1, so as to better press the electrode 3. In addition, as shown in FIG1, the cover 2 of this embodiment of the invention also has a contact portion 23 adapted to the robot shell, the contact portion 23 being a recessed portion on the cover 2.
[0023] Furthermore, the reset structure 21 in this embodiment of the invention is elastic. When the robot enters the charging base station, the robot pushes the cover 2, causing the reset structure 21 to be in a compressed state. When the robot leaves the base station, the reset structure 21 releases to push the cover 2 back to its original position to press the electrode 3. This reset structure 21 can preferably be a spring.
[0024] Furthermore, as shown in FIG1, the base 1 of the embodiment of the present invention has a limiting structure 12, which is connected to the cover 2 to limit the movement trajectory of the cover 2.
[0025] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
