[0002] Currently, when using a charging pile for charging, it is necessary to first open the insulating cover covering the charging port of the charging seat, and then remove the insulating cover from the charging port to expose the charging port, thereby facilitating the charging actuator to clamp the charging gun head and plug it into the charging port of the charging seat for charging.

[0003] In the prior art, the insulating cover is usually removed manually, which cannot achieve fully automated charging. In order to achieve fully automated charging, the relevant technology has developed a corresponding plug-in and plug-out mechanism to shift the insulating plug. However, this process is not smoothly connected with the subsequent plug-in action, and the action is relatively fragmented, which makes the entire charging process cumbersome and inefficient. In addition, the charging gun head and the charging seat are often misaligned, resulting in the inability to effectively complete the plug-in charging between the charging gun head and the charging seat, or blockage during the plug-in process due to insufficient alignment accuracy. In severe cases, the charging gun head and / or the charging seat may be damaged due to improper plug-in. Utility Model Content

[0040] The present application provides a charging actuator, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the charging actuator is used to perform automatic charging operation on a charging port with an insulating plug in cooperation with a charging gun head 40, and the charging actuator includes a plug-in assembly 10 and a plug-in gun assembly 20;

[0041] The plug-in and plug-out assembly 10 includes an axial moving module 11, a radial moving module 12 and a clamping module 13. The axial moving module 11 is connected to the radial moving module 12, and the radial moving module 12 is connected to the clamping module 13. The axial moving module 11 is used to drive the clamping module 13 to move axially. The clamping module 13 is used to clamp the insulating plug, and pull out and / or put in the insulating plug under the drive of the axial moving module 11, and remove and / or move back the insulating plug under the drive of the radial moving module 12.

[0042] The plug-in gun assembly 20 includes a plug-in module 21 and a guide module 22. The plug-in module 21 is connected to the guide module 22.

[0043] The present application provides a charging actuator, wherein the plug-in and plug-out assembly 10 includes an axial moving module 11, a radial moving module 12 and a clamping module 13. The clamping module 13 is used to clamp and release the insulating plug, and the axial moving module 11 drives the clamping module 13 to move axially, so that the clamping module 13 can pull out and put in the insulating plug under the drive of the axial moving module 11, thereby realizing automatic pulling out and putting in of the insulating plug, and avoiding interference with the plug-in and pull-out path of the charging gun head 40, so that the clamping module 13 can be driven by the radial moving module 12 to remove and move back the insulating plug, thereby avoiding interference with the plug-in and pull-out path of the charging gun head 40 by the clamping module 13, without manual operation, which can not only reduce labor and improve efficiency, but also enable the charging actuator to realize fully automatic charging; in addition, through the pin 225 and the positioning member 221 in the guide module 22, the alignment degree between the charging port and the charging gun head 40 can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of automatic charging, realizing smooth plug-in and pull-out of the charging gun head 40 and the charging port, and effectively avoiding damage to the charging gun head 40 and / or the charging port.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the axial movement module 11 includes a mounting seat 111, a connecting seat 112 and a first stopper 113;

[0045] The mounting seat 111 is arranged along the axial direction and is fixedly connected to the plug-in module 21. The connecting seat 112 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 111.

[0046] The first stopper 113 includes a first fixed end 1131 and a first extending end 1132, wherein the first fixed end 1131 is connected to the connecting seat 112, and the first extending end 1132 extends toward the plug-in module 21 and is used to abut against the plug-in module 21;

[0047] The connecting seat 112 is driven by the plug-in module 21 to abut against the first extending end 1132 and drive the connecting seat 112 to move axially.

[0048] In application, the first stopper 113 is an L-shaped block, the first fixed end 1131 is fixed on the connection seat 112, and the first extension end 1132 is used to abut against the plug-in module 21. When the plug-in module 21 moves axially, it abuts against the first stopper 113, thereby driving the entire axial movement module 11 to move axially.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the axial movement module 11 further includes a second stopper 114 and a reset member 115;

[0050] One end of the reset member 115 is connected to the mounting seat 111, and the other end of the reset member 115 is connected to the connecting seat 112. The reset member 115 is used to pull the connecting seat 112 back to the initial position;

[0051] The second limiting member 114 includes a second fixed end 1141 and a second extending end 1142 . The second fixed end 1141 is disposed at one end of the connecting seat 112 close to the reset member 115 , and the second extending end 1142 extends toward the plug-in module 21 . The second limiting member 114 is used to limit the retracted position of the charging gun head 40 .

[0052] In application, the second limiter 114 has the same structure as the first limiter 113, but is different from the first limiter 113 in that the second limiter 114 is disposed at one end of the connection seat 112 away from the first limiter 113, and is used to abut the plug-in module 21. Its main function is to limit the position of the plug-in module 21 when the plug-in module 21 retreats axially, thereby limiting the position of the charging gun head 40. The reset member 115 is a tension spring. When the axial moving module 11 advances with the plug-in module 21, the tension spring is stretched to have elastic potential energy to retract. When the plug-in module 21 retreats, the elastic potential energy of the tension spring is released, thereby pulling the connection seat 112 back to its original position, thereby realizing the axial movement of the clamping module 13, that is, realizing the extraction and retraction of the insulating plug.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the radial movement module 12 includes a base 121 and a first linear driving member 122;

[0054] The base 121 is arranged radially, and one side of the base 121 is connected to the axial movement module 11, and the clamping module 13 is slidably arranged on the other side of the base 121;

[0055] The first linear drive member 122 is arranged radially, one end of the first linear drive member 122 is fixed to the base 121, and the other end of the first linear drive member 122 is connected to the clamping module 13. The first linear drive member 122 is used to drive the clamping module 13 to move radially.

[0056] In application, the base 121 is connected to the connecting seat 112 to achieve the connection between the radial movement module 12 and the axial movement module 11 .

[0057] In application, the first linear drive member 122 can be any one of a combination of a motor and a screw rod, a cylinder, and a flexible drive structure 1311. In a preferred embodiment, the first linear drive member 122 is a flexible drive structure 1311, wherein the flexible drive structure 1311 is a folding airbag. The advantage of using a folding airbag is that during the braking process, the friction area is large, the braking efficiency is high, the braking temperature is low, the heat dissipation is fast, the front and rear left and right braking synchronization is good, and there is no deflection, no side slip, no tail swing, no locking, and no noise during braking.

[0058] By cooperating with the radial moving module 12 and the axial moving module 11, the clamping module 13 can be moved in the radial and axial directions, so the steps of pulling out and inserting, removing and returning the insulating plug can be realized, and the working process of the entire plug-in assembly 10 is carried out simultaneously with the plug-in gun assembly 20. The movements of the two are relatively coherent and cooperate with each other, thereby improving the fluency and efficiency of the entire automatic charging operation.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the gripping module 13 includes a second linear driving member 131, a rotating member 132, a first clamping jaw 133 and a second clamping jaw 134;

The rotating member 132 is connected to the first clamp 133 and / or the second clamp 134. The rotating member 132 rotates under the drive of the second linear drive member 131 and drives the first clamp 133 and the second clamp 134 to move closer and farther.

[0061] In application, the driving force of the second linear driving member 131 is then converted by the rotating member 132 to make the first clamping jaw 133 and / or the second clamping jaw 134 move closer to and away from each other, so as to clamp and loosen the insulating plug.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second linear driving member 131 includes a flexible driving structure 1311, a first connecting member 1312, a second connecting member 1313 and a third connecting member 1314;

The first clamping jaw 133 and the second clamping jaw 134 are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction.

[0065] In application, the second linear drive member 131 further includes a mounting frame 136, on which the flexible drive structure 1311 is mounted, a slider 1361 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 136 away from the flexible drive structure 1311, and a guide rail 1211 is provided on the base 121 to slide with the slider 1361, so as to realize radial movement of the flexible drive structure 1311 on the base 121. The rotating member 132 is a rotating disk, the first connecting member 1312 is a connecting curved rod, and the second connecting member 1313 and the third connecting member 1314 are straight connecting rods. The flexible drive structure 1311 is a folding airbag.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the clamping module 13 further includes a third limiter 135 disposed between the first clamping jaw 133 and the second clamping jaw 134 , and the third limiter 135 is used to limit the distance between the first clamping jaw 133 and the second clamping jaw 134 so as to control the clamping force within a preset range.

[0067] In application, the third limiting member 135 is a limiting block, and the thickness of the limiting block is smaller than the diameter of the insulating plug, wherein the thickness of the limiting block refers to the thickness of the limiting block in the radial direction.

[0068] It should be noted that controlling the clamping force within a preset range means that the clamping force between the first clamp 133 and the second clamp 134 can clamp the insulating plug and will not loosen easily, and can maintain clamping under the movement of the axial moving module 11 and the radial moving module 12, and will not be too tight to avoid damaging the insulating plug.

In a preferred embodiment, the third linear drive member 213 is a fluid flexible drive structure 1311, wherein the fluid flexible drive structure 1311 is a folded airbag.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the plug-in module 21 further includes a first distance measuring member 215 , which is disposed on the fixing seat 211 , and is used to measure the relative position and / or movement distance of the charging gun head 40 in the axial direction in real time.

The pin 225 is used to plug and cooperate with the groove around the charging port to facilitate the accurate insertion of the charging gun head 40 into the charging port.

[0080] In the application, it also includes a background processing system, which locates the position of the charging port and the charging gun head 40 through the positioning member 221, and then sends the position information to the background processing system, and gives control instructions according to the position information to control the plug assembly 10 and the plug gun assembly 20 to plug and unplug and move the charging gun head 40 to realize automatic charging operation.

[0081] In application, the positioning member 221 includes a camera 2212, which visually positions the charging port and the charging gun head 40 by taking visual photos.
