Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging piles, and in particular to a safe electric telescopic charging pile. Background Art
[0002] AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is an automated transport device that can autonomously navigate and transport cargo in factories, warehouses, hospitals and other places. AGV is equipped with sensors, computers and control systems, and can identify the environment and avoid obstacles through the autonomous navigation system, thus achieving unmanned driving. AGV is usually powered by batteries, and there are two ways to charge it: manual charging and automatic charging. Manual charging requires connecting the AGV to the charging station and then manually starting the charging process. Automatic charging means that the AGV automatically returns to the charging station when the battery is low and docks with the charging dock to complete the charging. This method can improve the use efficiency of AGV, reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency.
[0003] When the AGV automatically returns to the charging station and docks with the charging seat for charging, due to various reasons (such as navigation error, mechanical deviation, environmental interference, etc.), the vehicle and the charging seat are not properly aligned. In this case, the AGV may not be able to effectively contact the charging seat, and thus cannot achieve normal charging. This not only reduces the working efficiency of the AGV, but may also affect the normal operation of the entire logistics or production line. Especially during peak hours or when the task is urgent, docking failure may cause time delays and waste of resources. At the same time, docking errors may also lead to certain safety hazards. The charged part is exposed and the generated electric field may cause electric shock to passers-by. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a safe electric telescopic charging pile to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] Preferably, the automatic detection structure includes a PLC controller and a micro pressure switch, the PLC controller is arranged in the integral base, the micro pressure switch is arranged on the contact panel, and the PLC controller is connected to the micro pressure switch and the electric push rod respectively.
[0007] Preferably, a bearing bracket is provided at the inner bottom of the integral base, a bearing is provided on the bearing bracket, an inner ring of the bearing is connected to a sliding rod, and one end of the sliding rod is connected to the contact panel.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model can accurately detect whether the AGV vehicle or electric forklift is accurately docked with the charging contact through the micro-pressure switch set on the front of the contact panel, which helps to avoid charging failures or safety hazards caused by inaccurate vehicle position. When the charging contact is pressed against the charging disk on the vehicle body, the micro-pressure switch will send a signal to ensure that the charging process is carried out under safe conditions. This mechanism avoids problems such as charging interruption or power leakage caused by the charging interface not being tightly connected. The pressure change during the charging process can be detected by the micro-pressure switch and the PLC controller. Once the micro-pressure switch detects that the pressure is lower than the threshold, the PLC controller will control the electric push rod to retract, immediately stop charging and report a fault. This mechanism helps to timely discover and deal with potential safety risks and prevent safety accidents caused by charging failures. If the electric push rod is extended for more than 12 seconds without receiving the compaction signal of the micro-pressure switch, the PLC sensor will report an extension timeout error. This timeout detection function helps to identify and solve mechanical failures of the charging pile or vehicle docking problems, ensuring the smooth progress of the charging process.

[0017] Specifically, the automatic detection structure includes a PLC controller 16 and a micro pressure switch 17. The PLC controller 16 is arranged in the integral base 2, and the micro pressure switch 17 is arranged on the contact panel 5. The PLC controller 16 is connected to the micro pressure switch 17 and the electric push rod 3 respectively.
[0018] Specifically, a bearing bracket 18 is provided at the bottom of the integral base 2, a bearing 19 is provided on the bearing bracket 18, the inner ring of the bearing 19 is connected to a slide rod 20, one end of the slide rod 20 is connected to the contact panel 5, and the bearing 19 and the slide rod 20 are used to provide more stable support for the contact panel 5.
[0019] Working principle: In the non-charging state, the positive and negative front cover plates 8 and the positive and negative protective covers 10 are located inside the overall cover plate 1. When charging, the electric push rod 3 will drive the contact panel 5, the positive and negative front cover plates 8 and the positive and negative protective covers 10 to extend out of the charging port of the overall base 2. When the positive and negative front cover plates 8 are squeezed by the charging plate on the vehicle body, due to the elastic effect of the spring 7, the positive and negative front cover plates 8 and the positive and negative protective covers 10 will move backward as a whole. However, due to the supporting effect of the electric push rod 3 on the contact panel 5, the contact panel 5 will not move. At this time, when the positive and negative front cover plates 8 are squeezed by the charging plate on the vehicle body, the positive and negative front cover plates 8 and the positive and negative protective covers 10 will move backward as a whole. When the plate 8 moves backward, the charging contact 6 will naturally extend out of the positive and negative front cover plates 8, and the micro pressure switch 17 will be squeezed. When the micro pressure switch 17 detects that the pressure is normal, it means that the charging contact 6 is normally pressed against the charging plate on the vehicle body. At this time, the micro pressure switch 17 will send a signal to the PLC controller 16, and the PLC controller 16 will send a signal to indicate that the charging is normal, ensuring that the charging process is carried out under safe conditions. If the electric push rod 3 is extended for more than 12 seconds without receiving the compaction signal from the micro pressure switch 17, the PLC sensor will report an extension timeout error.
