Detailed implementation manner

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , the present invention provides a robot for charging an unmanned vehicle, including a mounting base 1, a robotic arm 2, a mounting bracket 3, a charging gun head assembly 4 and a camera assembly 5. The robotic arm 2 is arranged on the mounting base 1, the mounting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the robotic arm 2, the charging gun head assembly 4 is arranged on the mounting bracket 3, and the camera assembly 5 is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket 3 close to the charging gun head assembly 4.

[0018] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 provides an installation condition for the robotic arm 2, and the mounting bracket 3 provides an installation condition for the charging gun head assembly 4 and the camera assembly 5. When it is necessary to charge the unmanned vehicle, the camera assembly 5 works to identify the position of the charging port of the unmanned vehicle, and the robotic arm 2 works to drive the charging gun head assembly 4 to move towards the side close to the charging port. When the charging gun head assembly 4 is aligned with the charging port of the unmanned vehicle for charging, the robotic arm 2 drives the charging gun head assembly 4 to insert into the charging port of the unmanned vehicle for charging, so as to charge the unmanned vehicle, thus solving the problem that the existing unmanned operation vehicle needs to be manually charged.

[0019] Further, the charging gun head assembly 4 includes a main board 6, a slide rail 7, a connecting plate module 8, a U-shaped photoelectric switch 9, an induction sheet 10, a charging gun head module 11, a limiting rod 12, and a rectangular spring 13. The main board 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3 and is located on one side of the mounting bracket 3. The slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the main board 6 and is located on the main board 6. The connecting plate module 8 is slidably connected to the slide rail 7 and is located on one side of the slide rail 7. The U-shaped photoelectric switch 9 is fixedly connected to the main board 6 and is located on one side of the main board 6. The induction sheet 10 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate module 8 and is located on the connecting plate module 8. The charging gun head module 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate module 8 and is located on one side of the connecting plate module 8. The limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the main board 6 and is connected to the connecting plate module 8. The rectangular spring 13 is fixedly connected to the main board 6 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate module 8.

[0020] In this embodiment, the main board 6 provides an installation condition for the slide rail 7, and the slide rail 7 provides an installation condition for the connecting plate module 8. When the charging gun head module 11 is inserted into the charging port of the driverless vehicle, the connecting plate module 8 slides on the slide rail 7, and the connecting plate module 8 drives the induction sheet 10 to move towards the side close to the U-shaped photoelectric switch 9 until the induction sheet 10 contacts the U-shaped photoelectric switch 9. At this time, the robotic arm 2 stops working, and the connection between the charging gun head module 11 and the charging port of the driverless vehicle can be completed. The return spring force of the rectangular spring 13 can reset the connecting plate module 8.

[0021] Further, the camera assembly 5 includes a mounting plate 14, a long-view camera 15, a driving member 16, two sleeves 17, and a camera protection chamber 18. The long-view camera 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14 and is located on one side of the mounting plate 14. The driving member 16 is disposed on the mounting plate 14, and the two sleeves 17 are respectively disposed on the driving member 16. The camera protection chamber 18 is fixedly connected to the two sleeves 17 and is located on one side of the two sleeves 17.

[0022] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 14 provides a mounting condition for the long-view motor 19. When it is necessary to identify the charging port of the driverless vehicle, the driving member 16 operates to drive the two sleeves 17 to move away from the mounting plate 14. The two sleeves 17 drive the camera protection chamber 18 to move away from the mounting plate 14 until the camera protection chamber 18 moves to a preset position and the long-view camera 15 is exposed. At this time, the long-view camera 15 can operate to identify the charging port of the driverless vehicle. Conversely, when the camera protection chamber 18 is closed, the long-view camera 15 can be protected.

[0023] Further, the driving member 16 includes a motor 19, a transmission wheel 20, two tension idler wheels 21, two synchronous wheels 22, a synchronous belt 23, and two ball screws 24. The motor 19 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14. The transmission wheel 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19. The two tension idler wheels 21 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting plate 14 and are both located on the mounting plate 14. The two synchronous wheels 22 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting plate 14 and are both located on the mounting plate 14. The synchronous belt 23 is sleeved on the transmission wheel 20, the two tension idler wheels 21, and the two synchronous wheels 22. The two ball screws 24 are respectively threadedly connected to the two sleeves 17, are respectively fixedly connected to the two synchronous wheels 22, and are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting plate 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the motor 19 operates, it can drive the transmission wheel 20 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission wheel 20 can cooperate with the synchronous belt 23 to drive the two tension idler wheels 21 and the two synchronous wheels 22 to rotate. The tightness of the synchronous belt 23 can be adjusted by the two tension idler wheels 21. The rotation of the two synchronous wheels 22 can drive the two ball screws 24 to rotate, and the two ball screws 24 can drive the camera protection chamber 18 to move away from or close to the mounting plate 14.

[0025] Further, the driving member 16 further includes two guide rails 25 and two guide blocks 26. The two guide rails 25 are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14 and are both located on the mounting plate 14. The two guide blocks 26 are respectively slidably connected to the two guide rails 25 and are respectively fixedly connected to the two camera protection chambers 18.

[0026] In this embodiment, the two guide rails 25 provide a mounting condition for the two guide blocks 26, and the camera protection chamber 18 can be guided and limited by the two guide blocks 26.
