The two ends of the normally open contact KA13 of the relay KA1 are connected in parallel with the power switch SL3; the power converter TPM is connected with the switch circuit IV, and the normally open contact KA14 of the intermediate relay is provided on the switch circuit IV; the two ends of the normally open contact KA14 of the intermediate relay are connected in parallel with the power switch SL4; the power switch SL1, the power switch SL2, the power switch SL3 and the power switch SL4 are knob switches, the power switch SL1, the power switch SL2 and the power switch SL3 are the normally open contacts on the left side of the knob switch, and the power switch SL1, the power switch SL2 and the power switch SL3 act together; the power switch SL4 is the normally closed contact on the right side of the knob switch, and the middle of the knob switch is neutral; the power converter TPM is electrically connected with the power board THM. The rest is the same as the first embodiment.

[0023] The power board THM converts the changing magnetic field in the power supply cable laid on the ground into high-frequency current, and the power converter TPM receives the high-frequency electric energy from the coil in the power board and rectifies it for output to the load. The power management module PMM is responsible for the seamless switching of contactless power supply and backup battery power supply and charging the backup battery. When the contactless power supply is normal, 500VDC / 560VDC is directly output to the main circuit of the AGV body through the power management module PMM to supply the motor driver and switching power supply II; when the backup battery is low on power, the power management module PMM can charge the battery; when the contactless power supply is disconnected, the power management module PMM seamlessly switches to the backup battery power supply, and the 48VDC output by the backup battery is boosted to 490VDC through the power management module PMM and output to the AGV main circuit.

[0024] The power converter TPM, the power management module PMM and the backup battery GB each have a working switch, which can only work when the switch is turned on. A knob switch is used in the circuit to manually control the switch of these three components. The knob switch has three gears. The right gear is a group of self-locking normally closed contacts, including power switch SL1, power switch SL2 and power switch SL3. The power switches SL1, SL2 and SL3 act together. The middle gear is the neutral gear, and the left gear is a group of self-resetting normally open contacts; including the backup battery power switch SL4, that is, when the knob switch is in the neutral gear, the backup battery GB is in the power-on state, and when the knob switch SL1 is in the left gear, the backup battery GB is in the power-off state; the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM are in the power-off state when the knob switch is in the neutral gear, and the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM are in the power-off state when the knob switch is in the right gear. The power converter TPM and the power management module PMM are in the power-on state when the knob switch is in the neutral gear. The knob switch is in the middle neutral position by default, that is, the backup battery GB is in the on state by default, the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM are in the off state by default. When the user takes a long vacation, the knob switch is turned to the left self-locking position.

[0025] The one-key startup process of the non-contact power supply AGV: the knob switch is in the middle neutral position, the backup battery GB is in the startup discharge state, the circuit breaker QF4 is closed by default, and the backup battery power enters the switch power supply I through the circuit breaker QF4. The switch power supply I converts the DC48V output of the backup battery GB into DC24V to power the wireless IO module. The wireless IO module communicates with the AGV dispatching system in real time through the wireless network; the customer clicks the one-key startup on the AGV dispatching system interface, and the wireless IO module on the AGV body receives the one-key startup signal of the AGV dispatching system and inputs the output point 2 on the wireless IO module This output point controls the coil of the intermediate relay KA4 to be energized, so that the normally open contact KA41 of the intermediate relay KA4 is energized, thereby energizing the coil of the intermediate relay KA1, and the normally open contacts KA11, KA12, KA13, and KA14 of the intermediate relay KA1 are all energized, and the normally open contact KA12 is closed to form a self-locking startup circuit; the normally open contact KA14 of the switch of the power converter TPM is closed, and the power converter TPM starts to operate normally; the normally open contact KA13 of the switch of the power management module PMM is closed, and the power management module PMM starts to operate normally. After the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM work normally, the circuit breakers QF1, QF2, and QF3 are closed by default. After the power passes through the circuit breakers QF1 and QF2, the power passes through the switch power supply II to convert DC500 / 560V to DC24V to power the AGV controller and other sensors. The power passes through the circuit breaker QF3 to power on the drive unit, and the AGV is powered on.

[0026] The process of one-key shutdown / sleep of non-contact power supply AGV: the knob switch is in the middle neutral position, the wireless IO module communicates with the AGV dispatching system in real time through the wireless network, and the customer clicks one-key shutdown / sleep on the AGV dispatching system interface. The wireless IO module on the AGV receives the one-key shutdown / sleep signal of the AGV dispatching system and outputs the output point 1 on the wireless IO module. This output point controls the coil of relay KA2 to be energized. At this time, the normally closed contact KA21 of the intermediate relay KA2 is disconnected, causing the coil of the intermediate relay KA1 to lose power and disconnect. The normally open contacts KA11 and KA11 of the intermediate relay KA1 are closed. 2. The normally open contacts KA13 and KA14 are both disconnected, causing the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM switches to be disconnected and stop working, and the contactor KM1 coil for discharging the backup battery loses power and disconnects, so that the backup battery only supplies power to the wireless IO module. The rated power consumption of the wireless IO module is about 7W. The backup battery capacity of the assembled AGV is mostly above 48V30AH. In theory, the backup battery can standby for about 8 days, which is sufficient for normal production of the enterprise, achieving the purpose of sleep and shutdown; when the enterprise does not use the AGV for a long time on holiday, the power is cut off by manual shutdown.

[0027] Manual startup process of contactless power supply AGV: Circuit breakers QF1, QF2, QF3 and QF4 are in the energized state by default. Turn the power switch to the middle position first, then turn the power switch to the right for 2 seconds and release it. At this time, the coil of the intermediate relay KA1 is energized, and the normally open contacts KA11, KA12, KA13 and KA14 are energized. The normally open contact KA12 is closed to form a self-locking startup circuit; the normally open contact KA14 of the power converter TPM is closed, and the power converter TPM starts to operate normally; the normally open contact KA13 of the power management module PMM is closed, and the power management module PMM starts to operate normally. After the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM work normally, the circuit breakers QF1, QF2 and QF3 are closed by default. After the power passes through the circuit breakers QF1 and QF2, it converts DC500 / 560V into DC24V through the switching power supply II to power the AGV controller and other sensors. The power passes through the circuit breaker QF3 to power on the drive part, and the AGV is powered on.

[0028] Manual shutdown process of contactless power supply AGV: turn the rotary switch to the self-locking position on the left. At this time, the normally closed contact of the backup battery power switch SL1 is disconnected, the backup battery stops discharging, the intermediate relay KA1 coil loses power and disconnects, and the normally open contacts KA11, KA12, KA13, and KA14 of the intermediate relay KA1 are disconnected, so that the power converter TPM and the power management module PMM switches are disconnected and stop working. When the company does not use the AGV for a long time during holidays, the power is cut off by manual shutdown.

[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
