[0023] The utility model provides a robot intelligent charging device, aiming to design an intelligent charging device, which overcomes the problem of squeezing and friction between wheels and the charging device when the robot enters the charging device.

[0024] The specific structure of the robot intelligent charging device proposed by the utility model will be described in the following specific embodiments:

[0025] In the technical solution of this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a robot intelligent charging device includes a circuit control box 10, a charging contact 20, and two guide rails 30; the charging contact 20 is protruding from one side of the circuit control box 10, and the charging contact 20 is electrically connected to the circuit controller in the circuit control box 10; and the two guide rails 30 are spaced apart in front of the charging contact 20, and the end of the guide rail 30 away from the side of the circuit control box 10 is arranged in an arc shape, and the inclination of the guide rail 30 is arranged in a direction away from the other guide rail 30.

[0026] Specifically, the main functions of the circuit control box 10 include: a) receiving control instructions; b) turning on and off the power of the charger; c) when charging, the charger indicator light 50 is on; d) when the robot reaches the charging position, the robot will send a charging instruction to the charging contact 20, at which time the power of the charger is turned on, and the charging contact 20 starts to charge the robot; e) the configuration has an explosion-proof function, and when the explosion-proof function of the charging device is not satisfied, the charging stops. f) When the charging device is not charging the robot, the charging contact 20 has no power. h) When the robot leaves, a departure command is sent to the charging contact 20, and the charging contact 20 cuts off the charging source.

[0027] Furthermore, the guide rail 30 includes a base 31 and a plurality of rollers 32 , one end of the base 31 is disposed on the front side of the circuit control box 10 where the charging contact 20 is disposed, and the plurality of rollers 32 are disposed in parallel on the base 31 .

[0028] It can be understood that the roller 32 protrudes from the base 31. When contacting the robot, the roller 32 first contacts the robot, and when the robot moves toward the circuit control box 10, the roller 32 rotates on the base 31, thereby reducing the friction of the robot.

[0029] Furthermore, a robot intelligent charging device also includes a barcode stand 40 , and the barcode stand 40 is arranged on a side of the circuit control box 10 where the charging contact 20 is arranged.

[0030] It can be understood that the barcode stand 40 is used to fix the QR code or barcode of the charging device, and is used for visual position alignment when the robot enters the charging device, to ensure that the robot will not deviate when entering repeated devices.

[0031] Furthermore, a robot intelligent charging device also includes a charger indicator light 50 , which is disposed on the top of the circuit control box 10 and is electrically connected to the circuit controller.

[0032] Understandably, the light will illuminate when the charging device is charging and will not illuminate when it is not charging.

[0033] Furthermore, a robot intelligent charging device also includes a power indicator light 60, which is disposed on the top of the circuit control box 10 and is electrically connected to the circuit controller.

[0034] It can be understood that the power indicator light 60 is on when the charging device is working.

[0035] Furthermore, a robot intelligent charging device also includes an explosion-proof indicator light 70; the explosion-proof indicator light 70 is arranged on the top of the circuit control box 10 and is electrically connected to the circuit controller.

[0036] It can be understood that the circuit control box 10 is equipped with components with explosion-proof function, and the indicator light is on when the explosion-proof function is normal.

[0037] Furthermore, a robot intelligent charging device also includes a wireless communication antenna 80: the wireless communication antenna 80 is arranged on the top of the circuit control box 10 and is electrically connected to the circuit controller.

[0038] It can be understood that the wireless communication antenna 80 is used for wireless communication with the robot.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When the robot is performing a task, if its own battery power is lower than the set limit, the robot automatically walks to the charging device to charge; the robot uses vision to find the QR code on the barcode stand 40 of the charging device to align the position and correct the movement, ensuring that the robot will not deviate when entering the charging device. The robot enters the charging device along the guide rail 30. When the robot reaches the charging position, the robot will send a charging instruction to the charging device through the wireless network. At this time, the charging device turns on the power of the charger and starts charging the robot; when the robot is charging, the charging indicator light is on; the charging device is equipped with an explosion-proof function. When the explosion-proof function of the charging device is not met, charging stops. When the robot battery is fully charged, the charging device turns off the power of the charger, and the charging contact 20 is not energized. The automatic charging contact 20 adopts electrical locking technology. When not charging or in a fault state, the charging contact 20 is strictly prohibited from being energized to ensure safe operation.

[0041] Main advantages: The robot can use vision to find the QR code on the barcode stand 40 of the charging device to align and correct the position, ensuring that the robot will not deviate when entering the charging device. The guide rail 30 is changed to a roller 32 structure, and when the robot enters the charging device, the guide rail 30 and the roller 32 rotate to reduce friction.

[0042] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
