[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an automatic charging device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the automatic charging device includes: a moving mechanism 10, a charging gun storage mechanism 20, and an automatic charging mechanism 30.

[0022] Among them, the moving mechanism 10 includes: a mounting bracket 101, a first moving guiding mechanism 102, and a second moving guiding mechanism 103. There are 2 first moving guiding mechanisms 102, which are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 101. The second moving guiding mechanism 103 is installed on the mounting bracket 101 in the same direction as the first moving guiding mechanism 102; there are two charging gun storage mechanisms 20, which are respectively arranged on the 2 first moving guiding mechanisms 102, and the charging gun storage mechanism 20 can move and stop controllably along the first moving guiding mechanism 102. The charging gun storage mechanism 20 is used to place the charging gun 40; the automatic charging mechanism 30 is arranged on the second moving guiding mechanism 103, and the automatic charging mechanism 30 can move and stop controllably along the second moving guiding mechanism 103. The automatic charging mechanism 30 is used to provide the charging gun 40 in the charging gun storage mechanism 20 to the vehicle for automatic charging and then separate from the charging gun 40.

[0023] Specifically, the automatic charging mechanism 30 is a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanism, which can perform pose adaptation such as rotation, telescoping, and angle adjustment according to the positions of different charging ports, and has functions such as automatic positioning, automatic gun grasping, and automatic gun insertion and removal. The moving mechanism 10 can be arranged between two parking spaces. The mounting bracket 101 is the mounting structure body, and the moving guiding mechanism is fixed on the mounting bracket 101 to limit the movement trajectories of the automatic charging mechanism 30 and the charging gun storage mechanism 20. The automatic charging mechanism 30 and the charging gun storage mechanism can move and stop controllably on the moving guiding mechanism on the mounting bracket 101. The first moving guiding mechanism 102 and the second moving guiding mechanism 103 are arranged basically in the same direction, so that the automatic charging mechanism 30 can grasp the gun and charge on the charging gun storage mechanism 20 within its moving stroke. Two sets of charging gun storage mechanisms 20 are adopted, which are respectively responsible for the charging requirements of adjacent two parking spaces.

[0024] When the charging gun 40 is idle, it is fixed on the charging gun storage rack 20, and the two are separable. When charging is not required, the charging gun 40 is fixed on the charging gun storage rack 20. When charging is required, the automatic charging mechanism 30 and the charging gun storage mechanism 20 move to the required position, and the automatic charging mechanism 30 grabs the charging gun 40 to perform the charging operation. After the gun insertion is completed, the electric vehicle can start charging through the charging gun 40, and the automatic charging mechanism 30 can be temporarily separated from the charging gun 40 and enter the waiting process or perform the charging operation on the vehicle in the adjacent parking space. After the electric vehicle finishes charging, the automatic charging mechanism 30 goes to the required position to grab the gun again, puts the charging gun 40 back into the charging gun storage mechanism 20, and moves back to the initial position to standby.

[0025] It can be understood that the charging gun storage mechanism 20 can be driven actively by a driving mechanism such as a motor independently, or can be driven passively by other moving mechanisms such as the automatic charging mechanism 30. The first moving guiding mechanism 102 and the second moving guiding mechanism 103 have various layout forms. For example, the first moving guiding mechanism 102 and the second moving guiding mechanism 103 are installed using a common mounting bracket, or can be installed by their respective independent brackets, or can be installed on an overhead slide rail, etc.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the charging gun storage mechanism 20 may include: a storage structure body 201 and a charging gun fixing seat 202. The charging gun fixing seat 202 is installed on the storage structure body 201, and the charging gun 40 can be detachably fixed on the charging gun fixing seat 202. The charging gun 40 may include: a gun head 401 and a gun line 402. One end of the gun line 402 is connected to the gun head 401, and the other end of the gun line 401 is connected to the power cabinet. The gun line includes: a power line and a communication line.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the automatic charging mechanism 30 may include: a base 301, an automatic charging system, and a robotic arm 302. Among them, the automatic charging system is integrated inside the base 301, and the automatic charging system is used to control the charging gun for automatic charging; the robotic arm 302 is arranged on the base 301, and the robotic arm 302 is detachably connected to the charging gun 40 through a secondary connector.

[0028] The automatic charging structure 30 is arranged in the middle of any two adjacent parking spaces of the parking space 40. As Figure 3 shown, according to the position relative to the vehicle, the charging ports of the electric vehicle 50 mainly include a left front charging port 501, a left rear charging port 502, a right front charging port 503, and a right rear charging port 504. The four types of charging ports are placed on both sides of the vehicle, and the front and rear span is relatively long. The charging range of the fixed automatic charging device cannot be fully covered, while the automatic charging device of the present invention can fully cover (except for the charging port at the front of the vehicle).

[0029] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 are respectively the charging implementation methods when the vehicle reverses into the parking space and drives forward into the parking space at the left front charging port 501. The automatic charging mechanism 130 moves on the second moving guiding mechanism 103 and rotates its own mechanism, and the charging gun storage mechanism 20 moves through the first moving guiding mechanism 102 to reach different positions of the left front charging port 501 when reversing into the parking space and driving forward into the parking space, and respectively grabs the charging gun to perform plug-in charging.

[0030] Similarly, all other possible parking forms can achieve automatic charging. In the scenario of a combination of multiple parking spaces and multiple automatic charging devices, automatic charging for any vehicle in any form of entering the parking space (driving forward into the parking space / reversing into the parking space) can be achieved. Even in the scenario of a single parking space and a single automatic charging device, only one set of charging gun storage mechanism needs to be retained, and through an appropriate vehicle entry form (driving forward into the parking space / reversing into the parking space), automatic charging for any vehicle can also be achieved.

[0031] In summary, for the automatic charging device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the automatic charging mechanism and the charging gun storage mechanism are movable, adapting to the charging requirements of the charging ports of any vehicle on the parking space, thereby making the parking method more flexible, and automatic charging for any vehicle in any form of entering the parking space (driving forward into the parking space / reversing into the parking space) can be achieved.
