[0002] A patrol robot is an autonomous mobile robot used for patrol, monitoring and security tasks. They are usually equipped with various sensors, cameras, lidar and other equipment, which can perceive the surrounding environment in real time and perform designated tasks. During the execution of the task, the patrol robot will monitor its battery power and automatically start the procedure of returning to the charging station when the power is below a certain threshold; once the robot arrives near the charging station, it will use its navigation and perception system to accurately align the charging pile to ensure successful connection to the charger; when the charging plug of the patrol robot is aligned with the charging port of the charger, the robot will automatically insert the charging plug into the charging port to start the charging process.

[0003] When the patrol robot is charging, the robot will remain in a stable position near the charging pile. When pedestrians passing by the charging pile accidentally touch the patrol robot, it may cause the patrol robot to move, resulting in a positional offset between the robot's charging plug and the charging socket of the charging pile, causing the patrol robot to disconnect from the charging state, which in turn has a certain impact on the overall charging efficiency of the patrol robot and also prolongs the overall charging time of the patrol robot.

[0004] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that the patrol robot has the defect of being disconnected from the charging pile due to accidental touch during charging. Therefore, an automatically rechargeable patrol robot is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problem. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0020] The present application embodiment discloses a patrol robot that can be automatically charged. Figure 1-4 A patrol robot that can be automatically charged includes a support part 3, a charging pile 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support part 3, a robot body 1 is placed on one side of the charging pile 4, a limit rod 6 is symmetrically welded on one side of the robot body 1, and a limit hole 8 is provided on the top edge of the limit rod 6. A fixing frame 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support part 3 near the front and rear ends of the charging pile 4, a sliding groove 12 is symmetrically provided in the middle of one side of the fixing frame 9, and a limit card 13 is movably installed inside the sliding groove 12. The cross section of the limit card 13 is an L-shaped structure, and one side edge of the limit card 13 extends to the inside of the limit hole 8. The limit hole 8 and the limit card 13 are engaged with each other. One side of the limit card 13 extends to the inside of the fixing frame 9 and a movable support rod 14 is rotatably installed. A connecting member 15 is rotatably installed on one side of the two movable support rods 14 inside the single fixing frame 9, and a cylinder 16 is installed in the middle of one side of the connecting member 15. A sensing mechanism is also provided inside the fixing frame 9 for controlling multiple limit cards 13 to move.

[0021] By moving the robot body 1 close to the charging pile 4, the robot body 1 pushes the trigger block 7 to abut against the sensor 11 inside the fixed groove 10, so that the sensor 11 is started as a whole through the induction control cylinder 16, and the starting cylinder 16 drives the movable support rod 14 to rotate, so that the connecting member 15 moves along the inside of the support part 3, and pushes the movable support rod 14 to rotate, so that the movable support rod 14 pushes the limit clamp 13 to move along the inside of the sliding groove 12, and then the limit clamp 13 is clamped into the limit hole 8, so that the limit rod 6 is fixed on the outer surface of the fixing frame 9, which reflects the overall fixing effect of the limit clamp 13 and the limit rod 6 on the robot body 1.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The sensing mechanism includes a fixed groove 10, which is opened in the middle of one side of the fixed frame 9. A sensor 11 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the fixed groove 10. A trigger block 7 is fixedly installed on one side edge of the limiting rod 6 near the limiting hole 8. The volume of the trigger block 7 is smaller than the internal volume of the fixed groove 10. One side edge of the trigger block 7 abuts against the outer surface of the sensor 11, and the trigger block 7 and the fixed groove 10 are adapted to each other.

[0023] By making the limit rod 6 move synchronously with the robot body 1 to approach the fixed frame 9, the robot body 1 pushes the trigger block 7 to abut against the sensor 11 inside the fixed groove 10. When the trigger block 7 abuts against the sensor 11, the sensor 11 controls the cylinder 16 to start and drive the connecting member 15 to move. When the trigger block 7 is separated from the sensor 11, the cylinder 16 is started again and drives the connecting member 15 to move in the opposite direction, which reflects the control effect of the trigger block 7 cooperating with the sensor 11 on the cylinder 16.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 A charging plug 2 is provided at the top of one side of the robot body 1 between the two limit rods 6, a charging socket 5 is provided in the middle of one side of the charging pile 4, and one side edge of the charging plug 2 is located inside the charging socket 5. The charging plug 2 and the charging socket 5 are engaged with each other. By moving the robot body 1 close to the charging pile 4, the charging plug 2 is plugged into the charging socket 5 for charging, and the robot body 1 is stopped and placed at the charging pile 4, thereby keeping the robot body 1 in a stable placement state, and the robot body 1 is charged.

[0025] The implementation principle of the patrol robot capable of automatic charging in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: by moving the robot body 1 close to the charging pile 4, the charging plug 2 is plugged into the charging socket 5 for charging, and at the same time, the limit rod 6 is synchronously moved with the robot body 1 close to the fixing frame 9, so that the robot body 1 pushes the trigger block 7 to abut against the sensor 11 inside the fixing groove 10, so that the robot body 1 is kept in a stable state as a whole, and the sensor 11 controls the cylinder 16 to open and close as a whole through induction, and the cylinder 16 is started to drive the movable support rod 14 to rotate, and the input end of the power supply of the cylinder 16 is electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply, and at the same time When the sensor 11 and the cylinder 16 are electrically connected through wiring, the connecting piece 15 is moved along the inside of the support part 3, and the movable support rod 14 is pushed to rotate, so that the movable support rod 14 pushes the limiting clamp 13 to move along the inside of the sliding groove 12, and then the limiting clamp 13 is engaged in the limiting hole 8, so that the limiting rod 6 is fixed on the outer surface of the fixing frame 9; compared with the prior art, this scheme has the effect of facilitating the limiting and fixing of the robot body 1 during charging, improves the overall stability of the robot body 1 during charging, and solves the problem that the charging plug 2 and the charging socket 5 are disconnected due to accidental touching of the robot body 1, affecting charging.
