[0027] The embodiment of the utility model provides a magnetic charging device suitable for an unmanned boat.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5, including a platform 1, a hull 4 is arranged on the platform 1, a charging pile 6 is arranged on the upper part of the platform 1, a port 5 is arranged on one side of the platform 1, and mounting plates 9 are slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the port trough 5, and a sliding drive component is arranged on the platform 1 to drive the two mounting plates 9 to slide on the inner wall of the port trough 5, two telescopic rods 8 are arranged on the opposite sides of the two mounting plates 9, and a connecting rope 10 is fixedly connected between the two telescopic rods 8, and fixed driving components for hanging and fixing the connecting rope 10 are arranged on both sides of the hull 4, a plug-in rod is installed on the upper part of the hull 4, and a charging head 19 is arranged at the end of the plug-in rod, and a charging plate 11 docking with the charging head 19 is arranged at the corresponding position of the charging pile 6 relative to the plug-in rod;

[0029] The hull 4 is an unmanned boat, and the hull 4 is made to travel into the cavity of the harbor trough 5. When the hull 4 travels into the cavity of the harbor trough 5, the bow of the hull 4 will contact the two connecting ropes 10, and the two connecting ropes 10 are separated by using the pointed or triangular bow of the hull 4, so that the connecting ropes 10 are located on both sides of the hull 4, and the hull 4 uses a fixed driving assembly to fix the connecting ropes 10. At this time, the hull 4 is fixed by the connecting ropes 10, and then only the charging head 19 on the hull 4 needs to be docked and contacted with the charging plate 11 on the charging pile 6. The docking and charging of the charging plate 11 and the charging head 19 uses a magnetic charging method. The charging plate 11 is a female charging magnet, and the charging head 19 is a male charging magnet. The male and female charging magnets attract each other and charge. In this way, the charging pile 6 can charge the battery on the unmanned boat through the docking of the charging plate 11 and the charging head 19, and the charging head 19 is electrically connected to the battery installed on the unmanned boat.

[0030] See also Figure 5 The telescopic rod 8 includes a thick rod 801 and a thin rod 802. One end of the thick rod 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 9. A thin groove is provided at the other end of the mounting plate 9 and is slidably connected to one end of the thin rod 802. A first spring is fixedly connected between one end of the thin rod 802 and the inner wall of the thin groove. The other end of the thin rod 802 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rope 10.

[0031] When the hull 4 contacts the connecting rope 10, the impact force generated by the driving will impact the connecting rope 10, and the connecting rope 10 uses the first spring in the telescopic rod 8 to form a buffer, thereby reducing or minimizing the impact force borne by the connecting rope 10. At the same time, the telescopic and reset setting of the telescopic rod 8 can make the distance between the two connecting ropes 10 adapt to hulls 4 of different widths.

[0032] See also Figure 2 The sliding drive assembly includes a second hydraulic rod 7, one end of the second hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the port tank 5, and the other end of the second hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 9;

[0033] The second hydraulic rod 7 is connected to the hydraulic pump driving, and the hydraulic pump is electrically connected to the power supply of the charging pile 6. The second hydraulic rod 7 is used to drive the mounting plate 9 to slide on the side wall of the port trough 5, so that the mounting plate 9 uses the connecting rope 10 to pull the hull 4 close to the charging pile 6, so that the charging plate 11 on the charging pile 6 can contact the charging head 19 on the hull 4;

[0034] There is no specific limitation on the model of the second hydraulic rod 7, which is subject to the matching equipment.

[0035] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed driving assembly includes two pins 14, and pin grooves slidably connected to the pins 14 are provided on both sides of the hull 4. A second spring is fixedly connected between one end of the pin 14 located at the hull 4 and the inner wall of the pin groove. Stoppers 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hull 4, and the stoppers 13 are located on the side of the pin 14 away from the bow of the hull 4;

[0036] When the connecting rope 10 slides to the pin groove on the side wall of the hull 4, the connecting rope 10 will squeeze the inclined surface of the pin rod 14, so that the pin rod 14 can slide completely into the pin groove, and thus the connecting rope 10 can slide to the area between the pin rod 14 and the stopper 13, wherein the pin rod 14 will compress the second spring until the connecting rope 10 no longer squeezes the pin rod 14, and the pin rod 14 will be reset by the elastic force of the second spring, and the pin rod 14 and the stopper 13 cooperate to block the connecting rope 10, so that the connecting rope 10 is fixed on the hull 4.

[0037] See also Figure 4 The movable end of the pin rod 14 is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is located on the side of the pin rod 14 close to the bow of the hull 4.

[0038] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A storage rod 17 is rotatably connected in the hull 4, and a servo motor 16 is installed in the hull 4 to drive the storage rod 17 to rotate. Two pull ropes 18 are fixedly wound around the storage rod 17. The movable ends of the two pull ropes 18 pass through two pin grooves respectively and are fixedly connected to one end of the two pin rods 14 respectively;

[0039] However, when the hull 4 needs to be separated from the fixed connection with the connecting rope 10, the servo motor 16 movable shaft drives the storage rod 17 to rotate, and the storage rod 17 stores the pull rope 18, and the pull rope 18 pulls the pin rod 14 to slide into the pin groove, thereby releasing the obstruction of the connecting rope 10 by the pin rod 14. The servo motor 16 is electrically connected to the battery on the unmanned boat, and the servo motor 16 is controlled to start and stop by the wireless control system on the unmanned boat;

[0040] There is no specific limitation on the model of servo motor 16, which is subject to the compatible equipment.

[0041] See also Figure 2The bow of the hull 4 is fixedly connected with four contact plates 15, and the four contact plates 15 are respectively located on both sides of the hull 4. The inner wall of the harbor trough 5 is fixedly connected with four contact rods 12 that are respectively in contact with the four contact plates 15, and the four contact rods 12 are respectively located on both sides of the charging pile 6;

[0042] After the mounting plate 9 pulls the hull 4 close to the charging head 19, the contact plate 15 on the hull 4 will contact the contact rod 12, and the cooperation between the contact plate 15 and the contact rod 12 will stabilize the hull 4 and reduce the squeezing force between the charging head 19 and the charging plate 11.

[0043] See also Figure 2 A closing plate 2 adapted to the notch of the port trough 5 is slidably connected to one side of the platform 1, and a first hydraulic rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the platform 1, and a movable end of the first hydraulic rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the closing plate 2;

[0044] The first hydraulic rod 3 is connected to the hydraulic pump, and the hydraulic pump is electrically connected to the power supply of the charging pile 6. The first hydraulic rod 3 drives the closing plate 2 to slide, so that the closing plate 2 closes the notch of the port trough 5, thereby separating the water inside and outside the cavity of the port trough 5;

[0045] There is no specific limitation on the model of the first hydraulic rod 3, which is subject to the matching equipment.
