Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic charging, in particular to an automatic charging device for highway closure robots. Background Art

[0002] With the development of intelligent transportation systems and the improvement of highway maintenance efficiency, highway closure robots play an increasingly important role in ensuring road safety and enhancing maintenance efficiency. However, the continuous operation of these robots highly depends on their battery life, and traditional charging methods, such as manual battery replacement or connecting to charging piles, are not only inefficient but also pose safety risks, especially in the special environment of highways.

[0003] To solve the above problems, it has become particularly urgent to develop an efficient, safe, and automated charging device. Currently, automatic charging technology has been applied in many fields, such as electric vehicles and floor-sweeping robots, but most of these technologies are suitable for static or low-speed moving scenarios and are difficult to be directly applied to high-speed moving highway closure robots.

[0004] In the prior art, automatic charging systems are usually realized through technologies such as wireless charging and robotic arm automatic plugging. However, wireless charging has low efficiency in high-speed moving scenarios and has high requirements for the relative position between the charging device and the robot; while the robotic arm automatic plugging method has high precision, but in the highway environment, the complex road conditions and the characteristics of the robot's high-speed movement limit its application.

[0005] Therefore, developing an automatic charging device specifically designed for highway closure robots can not only solve the current problems of low charging efficiency and high safety risks, but also improve the working efficiency of the robots and reduce maintenance costs, which is of great significance for the further development of intelligent transportation systems. The "automatic charging device for highway closure robots" proposed in this patent is based on this background art and aims to provide an efficient, safe, and automated charging solution for highway closure robots.

[0032] Refer to the attached Figures 1-6 illustration, which shows the schematic diagram of the structure of the automatic charging device for highway closure robots provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention provide an automatic charging device for highway closure robots, including:

[0034] A charging base 11 and a charging coil 12. A charging coil 12 is provided at the center of the front surface of the charging base 11. A ready light 13, a charging light 14 and a completion light 15 are arranged side by side at one corner of the front surface of the charging base 11. An infrared emitter 18 is provided near the side edge of the front surface of the charging base 11. The two sides of the charging base 11 are respectively a jigsaw puzzle-like protrusion and a jigsaw puzzle-like depression for head-to-tail splicing with other charging bases 11. Heat dissipation holes 22 are provided on the back surface of the charging base 11. A Type-c interface 24 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the charging base 11. A square groove 25 is provided around the Type-c interface 24;

[0035] It further includes a charging belt 41. One end of the charging belt 41 is electrically connected to a power source for supplying power to the charging belt 41. A number of Type-c plugs 44 are arranged along the upper end face of the charging belt 41 in the direction of the charging belt 41. There are convex squares 45 around the Type-c plugs 44. The positions of the Type-c plugs 44 and the convex squares 45 respectively correspond one-to-one to the Type-c interfaces 24 and the square grooves 25.

[0036] It further includes a robot 31. A receiving coil 32 is provided at the front end of the robot 31. The distance between the receiving coil 32 from the ground is approximately equal to the distance between the charging coil 12 from the ground.

[0037] After the charging belt 41 is spread out with the Type-c plugs 44 facing upward, the charging base 11 and the charging belt 41 are connected by inserting the Type-c plugs 44 into the Type-c interfaces 24. At the same time, the convex squares 45 are inserted into the corresponding square grooves 25 to play a fixing role. When a number of charging bases 11 are arranged in parallel, the convex grooves 16 are inserted into the corresponding concave grooves 17 to play a fixing role. When the receiving coil 32 and the charging coil 12 are in contact, the charging belt 41 charges the receiving coil 32 through the charging coil 12.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the usage scenario is beside a highway. The charging belt 41 is spread out along the roadside with a corresponding length according to the number of robots 31 to be charged. At the same time, a corresponding number of charging bases 11 are inserted above the charging belt 41. The connection method is through the connection of the Type-c interfaces 24 and the Type-c plugs 44, and the square grooves 25 and the convex squares 45. After the power is successfully connected, the ready light 13 lights up, and the infrared emitter 18 starts to emit infrared signals. The surrounding robots 31 search for the unused charging bases 11 according to the infrared signals and automatically move to the side to make the receiving coil 32 and the charging coil 12 in contact to start charging. At this time, the charging light 14 lights up. After the charging is completed, the completion light 15 lights up. After the robot 31 and the charging base 11 are in contact, the infrared signal of the infrared emitter 18 is blocked, so that other robots 31 search for other unused charging bases 11.
