[0039] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, the charging pile according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model includes a light guide tube 100 and an indicator light group 300, the light guide tube 100 is provided with an incident port 110 and an outlet port 120, a light channel 130 is formed between the incident port 110 and the outlet port 120, and the incident direction of the incident port 110 and the outlet direction of the outlet 120 are not collinear; the indicator light group 300 is arranged at the incident port 110, and is suitable for emitting light into the light channel 130.

[0040] According to the charging pile of the embodiment of the utility model, the light emitted by the indicator light group 300 enters the light channel 130 from the incident port 110, is reflected by the inner wall surface of the light channel 130 and then emitted from the emission port 120, and the emitted light is diverged into the air for observation by the user. The user determines the working status of the charging pile according to the current light status (such as determining whether the charging pile has completed charging the object to be charged by light of the same color).

[0041] According to the charging pile of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing the light guide 100, the light emitted by the indicator light group 300 on the printed circuit board in the charging pile can be reflected to the outside of the charging pile, and the charging pile does not need to be separately provided with an indicator light board (such as an LED light board) for representing the status of the charging pile, thereby effectively reducing the number of internal components of the charging pile and reducing the volume of the charging pile itself; and by arranging the incident port 110 and the exit port 120 to be non-collinear, the position of the indicator light group 300 in the charging pile is not restricted by the shape of the light guide 100, thereby achieving the effect of adapting the indicator light groups 300 in different positions.

[0042] In this embodiment, the light guide 100 is approximately "L"-shaped, the incident port 110 is horizontally arranged, and the outlet 120 is vertically arranged and passes through the shell of the charging pile; of course, the arrangement of the incident port 110 and the outlet 120 can be adaptively adjusted according to the position of the indicator light group 300 inside the charging pile and the specific shape of the shell of the charging pile.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the incident port 110 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the exit port 120. Therefore, the light emitted by the indicator light group 300 in the incident port 110 is more concentratedly emitted from the exit port 120 after being reflected by the light channel 130, effectively avoiding the problem of insufficient brightness of the light emitted from the exit port 120 due to partial absorption of the light by the inner wall of the light guide 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 1As shown, the outlet 120 faces upward, and the outlet 120 is located above the inlet 110. The outlet 120 passes through the top of the shell of the charging pile, and the light from the outlet 120 located at the top of the shell is easier for the user to observe than the light from other directions of the shell, which effectively improves the user experience; the inlet 110 is located below the outlet 120, that is, the indicator light group 300 corresponding to the inlet 110 is closer to the center of the charging pile than the shell surface corresponding to the outlet 120, and the indicator light group 300 is fixed on the printed circuit board, so the printed circuit board is also closer to the center of the charging pile, which is conducive to the electrical connection between the printed circuit board and other components in the charging pile (such as power supply, fan, etc.).

[0045] In one embodiment, in combination Figure 1 As shown, the incident direction of the incident port 110 is set horizontally. The corresponding indicator light group 300 is also set horizontally, and the indicator light group 300 is perpendicular to the board surface of the printed circuit board. Therefore, the board surface of the printed circuit board as a whole extends in the vertical direction. In the charging pile, it can be understood that the components that act with the object to be charged to realize charging (such as radar detection components for detecting the position of the object to be charged, charging contacts for powering the object to be charged, and power supplies for powering the charging contacts, etc.) are usually set on one side of the charging pile, and are distributed in the vertical direction in the charging pile. Therefore, the vertically arranged printed circuit board is adapted to the arrangement of the components in the charging pile, which improves the space utilization in the charging pile. Of course, the axis of the incident port 110 can also be set at a certain angle to the horizontal direction to change the direction of the printed circuit board and adapt to the components of different arrangements in the charging pile.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 3 As shown, the light pipe 100 includes at least two light guide segments 160 . After the light emitted by the indicator light set 300 enters the light channel 130 from the incident port 110 , it is reflected by the multiple light guide segments 160 and then emitted from the emission port 120 .

[0047] The light guide segments 160 arranged in sequence from the incident port 110 to the exit port 120 have an increasing inclination angle relative to the horizontal direction, and the inclination angle is less than ninety degrees. The light guide tube 100 is formed to be approximately "L" shaped, and the "L" shaped bend can effectively avoid other components in the charging pile. The setting of an inclination angle less than ninety degrees is conducive to reducing the length of the light channel 130 while satisfying the light reflection in the light channel 130, reducing the number of light reflections in the light channel 130, reducing the attenuation of light, and improving the intensity of light emitted from the exit port 120.

[0048] In this embodiment, two light guide sections 160 are provided between the emission port 120 and the incidence port 110. Figure 3As shown, the two-stage light guide segments 160 ensure that the light emitted horizontally from the indicator light group 300 (the black line with an arrow in the middle of the figure) only contacts the light channel 130 twice before being emitted from the exit port 120, and the remaining light that is emitted at a certain angle to the horizontal is reflected several times in the light channel 130 before being emitted from the exit port 120, thereby avoiding the attenuation of most of the light from the indicator light group 300 and effectively improving the efficiency of the light transmission of the light guide tube 100.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the charging pile further includes a shading member 200, which is sleeved outside the light guide 100 and is suitable for shielding the light in the light channel 130. By sleeved the opaque shading member 200 on the light guide 100, it is prevented that the light in the light guide 100 is diverged into the charging pile and leaks out from the assembly gap between the shells of the charging pile.

[0050] In this embodiment, the shading member 200 is adapted to the shape of the light guide tube 100, which is also approximately "L"-shaped. Of course, a rectangular or spherical shell can be directly arranged outside the light guide tube 100 to prevent the light in the light guide tube 100 from diverging into the charging pile.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 2 As shown, the shading member 200 forms a mounting notch 240 at an end corresponding to at least one of the incident port 110 and the incident port 120 .

[0052] During installation, the end of the light shielding member 200 with the installation notch 240 is first sleeved on the light guide tube 100, and then slides along the outer surface of the light guide tube 100, so that at least the light shielding member 200 completely shields the outer surface of the light guide tube 100. The installation notch 240 allows the side wall 230 of the light shielding member 200 to produce a greater deformation. During the sleeve process, the side wall 230 of the light shielding member 200 can adapt to the change in the bending shape of the light guide tube 100, thereby improving the installation experience of the staff.

[0053] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 As shown, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the exit port 120 is larger than that of the entrance port 110, the light shading member 200 needs to be inserted into the light guide tube 100 from the exit port 120, and the end of the light shading member 200 corresponding to the entrance port 110 needs to pass through the outer surface of the entire light guide tube 100. In order to prevent the light shading member 200 from being blocked by the bent shape of the light guide tube 100, an installation notch 240 is correspondingly provided at the position of the light shading member 200 corresponding to the entrance port 110, so that when the light shading member 200 is inserted into the bent shape of the light guide tube 100, the side wall 230 can move away from the light guide tube 100.

[0054] In this embodiment, two mounting notches 240 are disposed at one end of the light shielding member 200 corresponding to the incident port 110, and the two mounting notches 240 are disposed opposite to each other. Of course, the number of the mounting notches 240 is not limited, and may be one or more than two.

[0055] Of course, when the shading member 200 is sleeved from the incident port 110 to the light guide tube 100, a mounting notch 240 can be provided on the end of the shading member 200 corresponding to the incident port 120; the mounting notches 240 can also be provided at both ends of the shading member 200 at the same time, thereby reducing the contact area between the side wall 230 and the surface of the light guide tube 100 during the sleeve connection process, thereby effectively reducing the friction between the shading member 200 and the light guide tube 100 when they are installed.

[0056] In this embodiment, the light shielding member 200 is made of rubber, which is easy to deform and fit into the light guide tube 100; of course, it can also be made of opaque materials with certain elasticity such as silicone and plastic. Alternatively, the opaque material can be directly applied to the outer surface of the light guide tube 100 to form a light shielding layer to achieve the effect of preventing light leakage.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 2 As shown, the light guide 100 is provided with a fixing portion 140 corresponding to the installation notch 240 to fix one end of the light shielding member 200 corresponding to the installation notch 240 to the surface of the light guide 100 .

[0058] This prevents the portion of the side wall 230 of the shading member 200 adjacent to the installation notch 240 from being separated from the surface of the light guide tube 100 due to external forces (such as gravity or the force generated when the charging pile is moved), thereby causing light leakage.

[0059] In the present embodiment, two fixing portions 140 are provided corresponding to the two installation notches 240; of course, the corresponding relationship between the fixing portions 140 and the installation notches 240 may not be one-to-one. For example, in the present embodiment, one of the fixing portions 140 may be removed, and the shading member 200 and the surface of the light guide tube 100 may be fixed only by the single-sided fixing portion 140.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 2 As shown, the fixing portion 140 includes a through slot 141, which extends in a direction parallel to the light channel 130, and at least a part of the side wall 230 of the light shielding member 200 is penetrated in the through slot 141. When the light shielding member 200 is sleeved on the light guide tube 100, the side wall 230 passes through the through slot 141, and the slot wall of the through slot 141 limits and fixes the light shielding member 200 on the light guide tube 100. The fixing action of the fixing portion 140 is included in the process of the light shielding member 200 being sleeved on the light guide tube 100, which effectively reduces the installation difficulty of the staff.

[0061] In this embodiment, two corresponding fixing parts 140 are provided corresponding to the two installation notches 240 of the shading member 200, and each fixing part 140 includes two through slots 141. The through slots 141 arranged opposite to each other on different fixing parts 140 fix one side wall 230 of the shading member 200. (Taking the figure facing the user as an example, the installation notches 240 are provided on the front and rear sides of the shading member 200, wherein the installation notch 240 on the rear side is blocked to form the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the shading member 200, and the through slots 141 above the fixing part 140 on the front side and the through slots 141 above the fixing part 140 on the rear side fix the upper side wall; the same is true for the lower side wall). Of course, for providing more installation notches 240 to divide the side wall 230 of the shading member 200 into more parts, the number of fixing parts 140 can be adjusted accordingly to achieve the fixing effect.

[0062] In other embodiments, the fixing portion 140 may also be a hole opened on the side walls 230 of the light guide 100 and the light shielding member 200, and the light guide 100 and the light shielding member 200 may be relatively fixed by structural members such as screws and bolts.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the utility model, combined Figure 1 As shown, a limiting portion 150 is provided between the light shielding member 200 and the light guide tube 100, which is suitable for limiting the relative position of the light shielding member 200 and the light guide tube 100 along the direction of the light channel 130. The limiting portion 150 allows the staff to directly sleeve the light shielding member 200 and the light guide tube 100 without having to observe the relative position relationship between the light shielding member 200 and the light guide tube 100 in real time, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation; and avoids the problem of light leakage caused by the light shielding member 200 not being completely sleeved onto the light guide tube 100 or being detached from the light guide tube 100 during the sleeve process.

[0064] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 150 includes a first limiting surface 151 and a second limiting surface 152 correspondingly arranged. The first limiting surface 151 is arranged on the light shading member 200, and the light guide tube 100 is provided with a second limiting surface 152. The first limiting surface 151 abuts against the second limiting surface 152, and the light shading member 200 cannot continue to move, indicating that the light shading member 200 reaches the set position and completes the shading of the light guide tube 100.

[0065] In other embodiments, the limiting portion 150 may also be in the form of a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove. The limiting protrusion is set on one of the shading element 200 and the light guide tube 100, and the other one is correspondingly set with a limiting groove. The limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove to indicate that the shading element 200 has reached the set position.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of isolation parts are arranged in parallel in the light guide 100, and the isolation parts divide the light channel 130 into a plurality of light sub-channels, and the light sub-channels are arranged corresponding to the lamp bodies of the indicator light group 300. The light sub-channels avoid interference of light between different lamp bodies, and effectively improve the accuracy of the user obtaining the status of the charging pile through the indicator light group 300.

[0067] In this embodiment, the indicator light group 300 is provided with five lamp bodies, and four isolation parts are provided in the corresponding light guide tube 100 to form light sub-channels corresponding to the lamp bodies one by one; of course, the number and placement of the isolation parts can be adaptively adjusted according to different numbers of lamp bodies and lamp body arrangements.

[0068] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the robot system includes a robot body and a charging pile as in the above embodiment, wherein the charging pile is electrically connected to the robot body and is used to charge the robot body.

[0069] The beneficial effects of the robot system according to the embodiment of the utility model are similar to those of the charging pile in the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
