[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the intelligent trolley quick alignment device of this embodiment includes a bottom box 2, a top cover 1 is engaged with the top of the bottom box 2, a cleaning sheet 4 is provided on the top of the top cover 1, openings 15 are provided on both sides of the cleaning sheet 4, a vertical plate 5 is provided inside the opening 15, a groove 17 is provided on one side wall of the vertical plate 5, a reduction cylinder 6, a wiping cylinder 7 and a disengagement cylinder 8 are provided inside the groove 17 from left to right, a flat plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical plate 5, a scissors frame 11 is hinged to the bottom end of the flat plate 16, a central axis 12 is movably connected to the middle part of the scissors frame 11, a base 14 is hinged to the bottom end of the scissors frame 11, an electric cylinder 13 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the base 14, and a trolley 19 is movably connected to the top of the top cover 1.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom box 2 is buried below the ground, and the top surface of the top cover 1 is flush with the ground, so that the smart car 19 can smoothly travel to the top of the top cover 1. The cleaning sheet 4 can wipe the chassis at the bottom end of the car 19 when the smart car 19 travels to the top of the top cover 1, so that the debris on the chassis can be cleaned. The function of the opening 15 is to enable the vertical plate 5 to extend out of the top cover 1 and be retracted from the top of the top cover 1, so that the reduction cylinder 6, wiping cylinder 7 and separation cylinder 8 on the vertical plate 5 can be stored in the bottom box 2 when not in use. At the same time, it can prevent the vertical plate 5 from protruding from the ground for a long time and forming an obstacle to the movement of other objects. The vertical plate 5 can support and limit the reduction cylinder 6, wiping cylinder 7 and separation cylinder 8 so that they can be kept on the same horizontal plane. The function of the groove 17 allows the reduction cylinder 6, wiping cylinder 7 and separation cylinder 8 to be smoothly moved on one side of the vertical plate 5 The side rotates with the travel of the trolley 19, thereby realizing the alignment and cleaning of the trolley 19. The outer wall of the reduction cylinder 6 is made of soft silicone material, so that the trolley 19 can be buffered when it just contacts the vertical plate 5, and at the same time it is beneficial for the trolley 19 to enter between the two vertical plates 5 for position adjustment. The surface of the wiping cylinder 7 is wrapped with a brush sleeve, which can wipe the two side walls of the trolley 19 to reduce the debris on the two side walls of the trolley 19. The separation cylinder 8 allows the trolley 19 to maintain the aligned state after leaving between the two vertical plates 5. The function of the flat plate 16 is to support the vertical plate 5, and at the same time enable the vertical plate 5 to be connected to the scissor frame 11. The scissor frame 11, the central axis 12, the base 14 and the electric cylinder 13 can constitute a vertical lifting structure, so that the vertical plate 5 can move up and down smoothly in the opening 15, thereby realizing the lifting of the vertical plate 5 and improving the flexibility of the vertical plate 5 when in use.

[0025] Furthermore, an infrared sensor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the top cover 1, and a single-chip computer 10 is fixedly installed inside the bottom box 2. The infrared sensor 3 and the electric cylinder 13 are electrically connected to the single-chip computer 10. The function of the infrared sensor 3 is to sense the smart car 19 traveling to the top of the top cover 1, so that the single-chip computer 10 can control the electric cylinder 13 to push the flat plate 16 and the vertical plate 5 out of the opening 15, thereby realizing the alignment and cleaning of the smart car 19 by the structure on the vertical plate 5.

[0026] Furthermore, a magnetic plate 9 is embedded in the middle of the top of the top cover 1, and the cleaning sheet 4 is magnetically adsorbed and connected to the magnetic plate 9. The cleaning sheet 4 is magnetically adsorbed and connected to the top cover 1 through the magnetic plate 9. The magnetic plate 9 makes it easy to detach the cleaning sheet 4 from the top cover 1, thereby facilitating the cleaning sheet 4 to be cleaned and replaced.

[0027] Furthermore, a ring 18 is sleeved on the middle part of the central axis 12, and the output end of the electric cylinder 13 is movably engaged with the ring 18. The central axis 12 is movably connected to the electric cylinder 13 through the ring 18. The function of the ring 18 is to connect the central axis 12 and the electric cylinder 13, so that the electric cylinder 13 pushes the scissor frame 11 by pushing the central axis 12, so that the flat plate 16 and the vertical plate 5 can be lifted and lowered vertically.

[0028] Furthermore, the flat plate 16 is movably connected to the opening 15 through the scissor frame 11, and the vertical plate 5 is movably connected to the opening 15 through the flat plate 16. The vertical plate 5 can be extended from the opening 15 under the push of the flat plate 16, so that the reduction cylinder 6, the wiping cylinder 7 and the separation cylinder 8 on the groove 17 of the vertical plate 5 can all contact and fit with the smart car 19.

[0029] Furthermore, the base 14 is snap-connected with the bottom box 2, and the scissor frame 11 is movably connected with the bottom box 2 through the base 14. The base 14 supports the scissor frame 11 and the plate 16 so that the plate 16 maintains better stability during vertical lifting.

[0030] Furthermore, a rotating rod passes through the middle of the reduction cylinder 6, the wiping cylinder 7 and the separation cylinder 8, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the groove 17. The reduction cylinder 6, the wiping cylinder 7 and the separation cylinder 8 are rotatably connected to the groove 17 through the rotating rod. The rotating rod allows the reduction cylinder 6, the wiping cylinder 7 and the separation cylinder 8 to rotate smoothly on the vertical plate 5, thereby realizing the alignment and cleaning of the intelligent vehicle 19.

[0031] The method of using this embodiment is as follows: when using this device, it is necessary to first pre-bury the bottom box 2 on the ground where the trolley 19 is located, and after burying, the top of the top cover 1 at the top of the device is flush with the ground at that location, and then connect the device to an external power supply, so that the single-chip microcomputer 10, the infrared sensor 3 and the electric cylinder 13 are energized. When the intelligent trolley 19 travels to a position close to the infrared sensor 3, the infrared sensor 3 will send a signal to the single-chip microcomputer 10, so that the single-chip microcomputer 10 controls the electric cylinder 13 to start, so that the output end of the electric cylinder 13 pushes the central axis 12 upward, so that the scissor frame 11 is pushed to unfold, so that the scissor frame 11 pushes the flat plate 16 upward, so that the vertical plate 5 at the top of the flat plate 16 extends out from the opening 15, and at the same time, the reduction cylinder 6 and the wiping cylinder 7 on the groove 17 of the vertical plate 5 are And the detachment cylinder 8 protrudes from the ground, then the trolley 19 will continue to travel along the top of the top cover 1, and at the same time, the bottom of the chassis of the trolley 19 will contact the cleaning sheet 4 on the top cover 1, so that the cleaning sheet 4 cleans the bottom of the chassis of the traveling trolley 19, and when the front of the trolley 19 contacts the reduction cylinder 6 on the vertical plate 5, the trolley 19 will enter between the two vertical plates 5 for correction, and as the trolley 19 travels, both sides of the body of the trolley 19 will also contact the wiping cylinder 7 in turn, so that the debris on both sides of the body is wiped, until the rear end of the trolley 19 is separated from the detachment cylinder 8, the trolley 19 will drive out of the top cover 1, at this time, after sensing that the trolley 19 has left, the infrared sensor 3 will send an electrical signal to the single-chip microcomputer 10, so that the output end 13 of the electric cylinder is reset, and the vertical plate 5 will be retracted into the bottom box 2 through the opening 15.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
