DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5 An automatic plugging and unplugging device includes a movable arm 1, the inner wall of the movable arm 1 is rotatably connected to an adjusting arm 2, a rotating motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the adjusting arm 2, a mounting plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the rotating motor 3, a clamping claw 5 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 4, a visual sensor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 4, a protective cover 10 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 4, the visual sensor 6 is protected by the protective cover 10, so that external force will first contact the protective cover 10, and the protective cover 10 blocks the external force, thereby improving the safety of the visual sensor 6.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing block 7 is fixedly assembled on the left end of the mounting plate 4, a connecting rod 8 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the fixing block 7, a connecting block 9 is fixedly assembled on the inner wall of the connecting rod 8, and an outer edge of the connecting block 9 is fixedly assembled on the outer wall of the protective cover 10. By movably connecting the protective cover 10 with the mounting plate 4, the protective cover 10 can be flipped over. When the protective cover 10 is flipped over, the visual sensor 6 can be exposed, so that the visual sensor 6 is easy to inspect and replace.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the protective cover 10 and the mounting plate 4 are both made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy has the characteristics of being light and hard, so that the protective cover 10 will not significantly increase the weight of the equipment. At the same time, when encountering a large impact force, the protective cover 10 will not be damaged, thereby greatly improving the safety of the visual sensor 6.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a circular hole 11 is opened on the outer wall of the protective cover 10, and the circular hole 11 corresponds to the sensing lens of the visual sensor 6.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, an installation groove 12 is opened on the outer wall of the protective cover 10, and a cooling fan 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation groove 12. The visual sensor 6 will generate heat after long-term use. The heat inside the protective cover 10 is extracted by two cooling fans 13, so that the heat inside the protective cover 10 can be eliminated, so that the visual sensor 6 can operate stably.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a contact piece 14 is installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 10, a mounting hole 15 is opened at the bottom of the mounting plate 4, a lock core 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 15, and a lock plate 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the lock core 16. The lock plate 17 is rotated by rotating the lock core 16 so that the lock plate 17 contacts the contact piece 14, so that the protective cover 10 is locked and the protective cover 10 cannot be flipped over, thereby greatly improving the safety of the visual sensor 6.

[0027] Working principle: when in use, install the mounting plate 4 with the protective cover 10 on the rotating motor 3, and then install the visual sensor 6 on the mounting plate 4. Drive the clamp 5 to clamp the charging head through the movable arm 1, the adjustment arm 2 and the rotating motor 3, find the position of the charging port through the visual sensor 6, and then adjust it through the movable arm 1, the adjustment arm 2 and the rotating motor 3, and then insert the charging head into the charging port. When the visual sensor 6 is running, heat will appear inside the protective cover 10, and the heat inside the protective cover 10 will be extracted by the cooling fan 13. When the visual sensor 6 needs to be inspected and repaired, open the lock cylinder 16 with the key, and drive the lock plate 17 to rotate by rotating the lock cylinder 16, so that the lock plate 17 is separated from the contact plate 14. At this time, the protective cover 10 can be turned over, and the visual sensor 6 is exposed. The inspection is completed, and the protective cover 10 is restored. Drive the lock plate 17 to rotate by rotating the lock cylinder 16, so that the lock plate 17 contacts the contact plate 14, and the protective cover 10 is locked.
