[0029] The technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiment of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present invention, "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, robots are gradually applied to the field of data centers. Usually, robots are powered by lithium batteries, which are prone to fire or other safety accidents during charging. Therefore, how to improve the safety and stability of robots during charging has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0032] In view of this, the utility model provides a charging room, which includes: a flame retardant box with an inlet and outlet on the side, a charging pile and a fire fighting device are arranged in the flame retardant box, so that the robot can enter the accommodating space in the flame retardant box through the inlet and outlet, and connect to the charging pile for charging. In this way, charging in the flame retardant box can isolate the robot from the outside world, thereby helping to improve the safety of the robot charging process in a local range.

[0033] The charging room provided by the embodiment of the utility model is as follows Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging room provided in an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 The charging room shown includes a flame retardant box 10 with an inlet and outlet on the side, and a charging pile 101 and a fire-fighting device 102 are arranged in the flame retardant box 10; a first accommodation space for parking the robot is formed in the flame retardant box 10; the inlet and outlet are used for the robot to enter and exit; the charging pile 101 is used to charge the robot; and the fire-fighting device 102 is used to extinguish fire. In this way, the flame retardant box 10 of the charging room is made of flame retardant materials, which can provide fire protection for the robot.

[0034] Optionally, the charging method of the charging pile 101 includes wired charging and / or wireless charging. The charging pile 101 can be arranged on the bottom surface of the flame retardant box 10, or on the inner side of the flame retardant box 10. Exemplarily, the charging pile 101 is arranged on the bottom surface of the flame retardant box 10, so that the robot can quickly enter the charging state after entering the flame retardant box 10, reducing the posture adjustment of the robot to connect to the charging pile 101.

[0035] Optional, such as Figure 2 The entrance and exit of the flame retardant box 10 are provided with an automatic door 103. The automatic door 103 is in a closed state during the charging process of the robot. When the robot needs to inspect the machine room, the robot can send a door opening command to the automatic door 103, which is used to open the automatic door 103 and the robot enters the machine room for inspection. Figure 2 The double doors shown may also be rolling shutter doors that retract to the left, right or top, but this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0036] Optionally, in a possible embodiment, after the robot completes the inspection, the automatic door 103 is opened, and after the robot enters the charging room, the robot can control the closing of the automatic door 103. After the automatic door 103 is closed to achieve fire isolation from the outside world, the charging room is connected to the charging pile 101 to charge the robot.

[0037] In another possible embodiment, after the robot completes the inspection, the automatic door 103 opens. After the robot enters the charging room, it first connects to the charging pile 101 for charging, and then the robot controls the automatic door 103 to close.

[0038] In this way, the charging room is completely isolated from the outside world during the robot charging process, further improving the safety of the robot charging process.

[0039] In one possible embodiment, the automatic door 103 opens when receiving a door opening signal from the robot. In another possible embodiment, the automatic door 103 automatically opens when a robot is detected and there are no other robots being charged in the charging room.

[0040] Optional, Figure 1 The charging room shown also includes a sensor device 104; wherein the sensor device 104 includes a temperature sensor and / or a smoke sensor; the sensor device 104 is used to obtain environmental data in the flame retardant box 10; the environmental data includes at least one of battery temperature and smoke sensor data; the fire fighting device 102 is specifically used to automatically start fire extinguishing when the environmental data meets the preset conditions. In a possible embodiment, the charging pile 101 includes a contact portion with the robot; the temperature sensor is arranged on the contact portion.

[0041] Optionally, the charging room further includes a controller 105; the controller 105 is disposed in the fire-fighting device 102, and the fire-fighting device 102 is specifically used to start fire extinguishing when the environmental data meets the preset conditions; or, the controller 105 is independently disposed in the charging room, and the fire-fighting device 102 is also used to receive a start instruction from the controller 105, and start fire extinguishing according to the start instruction. In this way, when the preset conditions set by the user are met, the controller 105 can automatically start the fire-fighting device 102 to extinguish the fire, further improving the safety of the robot during charging.

[0042] In a possible embodiment, when the temperature of the battery is greater than the temperature threshold, or the smoke sensor data is greater than the smoke threshold, the controller 105 in the fire fighting device 102 controls the fire fighting device 102 to start the fire fighting, or the controller 105 sends a start instruction to the fire fighting device 102, and the fire fighting device 102 starts the fire fighting according to the start instruction. After analyzing a large amount of battery charging temperature data and smoke data, the user can set a relatively safe temperature threshold and smoke threshold. When the temperature threshold and / or smoke threshold are exceeded, the controller 105 controls the fire fighting device 102 to start the fire fighting, thus further improving the safety of the robot during charging.

[0043] In another possible embodiment, the charging room also includes an alarm interface; the alarm interface is used to send an over-temperature alarm when the temperature of the battery is greater than a temperature threshold. When the over-temperature alarm persists for more than a preset time period, the controller 105 in the fire-fighting device 102 controls the fire-fighting device 102 to start fire extinguishing, or, when the over-temperature alarm persists for more than a preset time period, the controller 105 sends a start instruction to the fire-fighting device 102, and the fire-fighting device 102 receives the start instruction from the controller 105 and starts fire extinguishing according to the start instruction. In this way, the fault tolerance of the fire-fighting device 102 in starting fire extinguishing can be improved. Usually, a fire may not occur when the battery temperature occasionally exceeds the temperature threshold. A fire may only occur when the battery temperature continues to exceed the temperature threshold, thereby improving the accuracy of the start timing of the fire-fighting device 102.

[0044] In a possible embodiment, the fire fighting device 102 may be an aerosol fire extinguisher. When the temperature of the battery is greater than the temperature threshold, an over-temperature alarm is issued, and when the over-temperature alarm persists for more than a preset time period, an aerosol fire extinguishing signal is issued. The aerosol fire extinguisher removes the gas in the charging room to achieve the fire extinguishing function. Alternatively, when the smoke sensor data is greater than the smoke threshold, an aerosol fire extinguishing signal is issued. The aerosol fire extinguisher removes the gas in the charging room to achieve the fire extinguishing function.

[0049] Optionally, the robot 20 is specifically configured to issue an over-temperature alarm when the temperature of the battery is greater than a temperature threshold.

[0050] Furthermore, when the over-temperature alarm still exists after exceeding the preset time period, the robot 20 is specifically used to send a start instruction to the charging room, and the start instruction is used for the fire-fighting device 102 in the charging room to start the fire. In this way, the robot 20 can judge whether to start the fire extinguishing with fault tolerance. Usually, a fire may not occur when the battery temperature occasionally exceeds the temperature threshold. A fire may occur only when the battery temperature continues to exceed the temperature threshold, thereby improving the accuracy of the robot 20 starting the fire extinguishing timing.

[0051] In a possible embodiment, when the smoke sensing data is greater than a smoke threshold, the robot 20 is specifically used to send a start instruction to the charging room, and the start instruction is used for the fire-fighting device 102 in the charging room to start fire extinguishing.
