Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a charging pile and a charging interface for operation and maintenance robots. Background Technique

[0002] Among the many components of a robot, the robot charging pile is an important part, providing necessary electric energy for the robot to ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the robot.

[0003] The charging piles of the prior art have some technical defects:

[0004] (1) Poor versatility. On the one hand, parameters such as the battery capacity, charging voltage and current of robots may vary. The charging pile can only charge one type of robot. On the other hand, the sizes and shapes of robots are diverse, and the charging pile cannot adapt to the structures of different robots. In scenarios where multiple robots need to be deployed, to meet the charging requirements, a large number of charging piles may need to be arranged. This not only increases the cost of infrastructure construction but also may affect the working efficiency and movement path of the robots due to the complex layout of the charging piles.

[0005] (2) Single charging form, unable to simultaneously achieve manual wired charging and automated wireless charging. For a charging pile with only wired charging function, frequent plugging and unplugging of the charging interface may cause inconvenience, especially in the case of a large number of robots and frequent charging requirements. In addition, the wired charging method may also affect the charging efficiency and safety due to cable entanglement and damage. For a charging pile with only automated charging function, although it brings convenience to charging, for some robots with depleted electric energy, they need to be manually carried to the vicinity of the charging pile and the interfaces need to be manually docked frequently to achieve charging, which greatly reduces the working efficiency.
