[0028] The present invention is now described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0029] See also Figure 1, a charging mechanism of a specific embodiment of the utility model, the charging mechanism is arranged on the frame, and can dock with the brush plate 5 for charging, the brush plate 5 is fixedly installed on the ground, similarly plugged, and can realize charging operation after the charging mechanism contacts it. The charging mechanism includes a brush block assembly 1, a control mechanism 2 and a telescopic mechanism 3, wherein the telescopic mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the control mechanism 2, and can drive the telescopic mechanism 3 to extend or retract through the control mechanism 2, and the control mechanism 2 is arranged on the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 3, and the brush block assembly 1 is arranged on the control mechanism 2, therefore, the telescopic mechanism 3 can drive the control mechanism 2 and the brush block assembly 1 to move synchronously, and when the telescopic mechanism 3 is extended, the brush block assembly 1 can dock with the brush plate 5 for charging, and when the telescopic mechanism 3 is retracted, the charging process between the brush block assembly 1 and the brush plate 5 is disconnected, thereby realizing automatic charging and power-off operation without the need for additional manual assistance. In this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 3 can use an electric cylinder to perform telescopic movement to realize charging docking and power-off operation between the brush block assembly 1 and the brush plate 5.

[0030] Specifically, the charging mechanism is connected to the frame via a fixed mounting plate 4, and the telescopic mechanism 3 of the charging mechanism has a moving stroke in the vertical direction. The extending direction of the telescopic mechanism 3 is to extend directly downward to drive the brush block assembly 1 to extend synchronously until it docks with the brush plate 5.

[0031] See also Figure 2 The brush block assembly 1 includes a shell structure 11, a docking brush block 12 and a stroke compensation assembly 13. The stroke compensation assembly 13 is arranged in the shell structure 11, and one end of the stroke compensation assembly 13 is connected to the shell structure 11, and the other end is connected to the docking brush block 12, so that the docking brush block 12 can be compressed when docking with the brush plate 5, and drive the docking brush block 12 to partially retract into the shell structure 11. That is, after the telescopic mechanism 3 drives the docking brush block 12 to contact the brush plate 5, since the extension stroke of the telescopic mechanism 3 may be slightly greater than the stroke required for actual docking, if there is no stroke compensation assembly 13 to drive the docking brush block 12 to retract, the brush block will directly produce hard contact with the brush plate 5, which may cause damage to the brush plate 5 or the docking brush block 12. The setting of the stroke compensation component 13 can provide a certain tolerance for the movement stroke of the brush plate 5 and the docking brush block 12 when they are in contact. That is, when the movement stroke of the docking brush block 12 exceeds the set stroke, the stroke compensation component 13 can allow the docking brush block 12 to retract a certain stroke, and compress the spring 131 set in the stroke compensation component 13 while retracting, so as to avoid the brush plate 5 and the docking brush block 12 from being damaged by hard contact. When the brush plate 5 and the docking brush block 12 are separated, the spring 131 can reset itself and drive the docking brush block 12 to reset to the initial position.

[0032] Specifically, the stroke compensation assembly 13 includes a spring 131 and a spring mounting seat 132. The spring mounting seat 132 is arranged on the docking brush block 12. One end of the spring 131 is arranged in the spring mounting seat 132 so as to limit the horizontal movement of the spring 131 via the spring mounting seat 132. The portion of the docking brush block 12 extending into the housing extends a bearing platform 14 in the horizontal direction. The spring mounting seat 132 is arranged on the bearing platform 14, and the bearing platform 14 is suitable for limiting the separation of the docking brush block 12 from the housing structure 11.

[0033] In addition, at least two brush block assemblies 1 are provided, and the two brush block assemblies 1 are symmetrically arranged on the control mechanism 2, and the two brush block assemblies 1 are suitable for docking with the brush plate 5 for charging at the same time.

[0034] A charging mechanism in a specific embodiment of the utility model is implemented by a control mechanism 2, and the control mechanism 2 includes a detection module, which is suitable for obtaining the charge amount of the brush block assembly 1 and the brush plate 5 after docking and charging in real time, and can drive the telescopic mechanism 3 to contract after the charge amount reaches a set value to disconnect the charging process between the brush block assembly 1 and the brush plate 5. The control mechanism 2 also includes a positioning module, which is suitable for locating the position of the brush plate 5, so that when the brush block assembly 1 moves to the top of the brush plate 5, the telescopic mechanism 3 is controlled to extend, so that the brush block assembly 1 and the brush plate 5 are docked and charged.
