[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic charging device according to an embodiment of the present utility model. 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.

[0026] Among them, the moving mechanism 10 includes: a mounting bracket 101 and a moving guiding mechanism 102. The moving guiding mechanism 102 is arranged on the mounting bracket 101; the charging gun storage mechanism 20 includes at least one ( Figure 1 taking four as an example), and the charging gun storage mechanisms 20 are respectively arranged on the mounting bracket 101 and are located on one side or both sides of the moving guiding mechanism 102 ( Figure 1 taking 2 sides as an example); the automatic charging mechanism 30 is arranged on the moving guiding mechanism 102, and the automatic charging mechanism 30 can move and stop controllably along the moving guiding mechanism 102. 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.

[0027] Specifically, the automatic charging mechanism 30 is a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanism that can rotate, extend, adjust angles, and other posture adaptations according to different charging port positions, and has functions such as automatic positioning, automatic gun grabbing, and automatic gun insertion and release. Figure 2 The mobile mechanism 10 can be arranged between two parking spaces, and the charging gun storage mechanism 20 can be arranged around the mounting bracket 101 as required. Figure 3 The mobile mechanism 10 can be arranged between two rows of parking spaces, and the charging gun storage mechanisms 20 can be arranged on the mounting brackets 101 and located on both sides of the mobile guide mechanism 102. If there is only one row of parking spaces, the charging gun storage mechanism 20 can be arranged on one side of the mobile guide mechanism 102 close to the parking spaces.

[0028] The mounting bracket 101 is the mounting structure body, and the mobile guide mechanism 102 is fixed on the mounting bracket 101 to limit the movement trajectory of the automatic charging mechanism 30. Through the mobile guide mechanism, the automatic charging mechanism 30 and the charging gun storage mechanism can be controllably moved and parked on the mounting bracket 101. The charging gun storage mechanism can be fixedly installed on one side or both sides of the mobile mechanism 10. The appropriate length of the mobile mechanism 20 can make the charging range of the automatic charging mechanism 10 cover all the left front, left rear, right front, and right rear charging ports. Figure 4 As shown, the charging ports of the electric car 50 are mainly divided into 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 according to their positions relative to the vehicle. The four types of charging ports are placed on both sides of the vehicle, and the front-to-back span is relatively long. The charging range of the fixed automatic charging device cannot be fully covered, but the automatic charging device of the present invention can fully cover it.

[0029] When the charging gun 40 is idle, it is fixed on the charging gun storage rack 20, and the two can be separated. 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 for charging operation. After the gun is plugged in, the electric car can start charging through the charging gun 40, and the automatic charging mechanism 30 can be temporarily separated from the charging gun 40, enter the waiting process or perform charging operations on vehicles in adjacent parking spaces. After the electric car is charged, the automatic charging mechanism 30 goes to the required position to re-grab the gun, puts the charging gun 40 back into the charging gun storage mechanism 20, and moves back to the initial position to stand by.

[0030] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, when the parking spaces are arranged vertically, the moving mechanism 10 is arranged between two parking spaces. There are four charging gun storage mechanisms 20, and the four charging gun storage mechanisms 20 can be respectively arranged at the front left, rear left, front right, and rear right positions of the mounting bracket.

[0031] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, when the parking spaces are arranged horizontally, there is at least one moving mechanism 10. After a plurality of moving mechanisms 10 are connected in series, they are arranged in parallel with the horizontally arranged parking spaces. There are a plurality of charging gun storage mechanisms 30, and specifically: if the horizontally arranged parking spaces include one row, the charging gun storage mechanism 30 is arranged on the side of the moving guide mechanism 101 close to the parking spaces; if the horizontally arranged parking spaces include multiple rows, the charging gun storage mechanisms 30 are arranged on both sides of the moving guide mechanism 101.

[0032] Specifically, when the parking spaces are arranged horizontally, only one moving mechanism 10 can be arranged. If there are more parking spaces, multiple moving mechanisms 10 can also be arranged according to the actual situation, and it is not necessary to arrange one moving mechanism 10 for each parking space. Thus, the number of moving mechanisms can be greatly saved, thereby saving the number of automatic charging mechanisms, and further greatly saving the cost of automatic charging. The number of charging gun storage mechanisms and the number of charging guns can be set according to the requirements of the actual application scenario of the parking spaces. In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, 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 to perform 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.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown in the figure, 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.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5-6 shown in the figure, the charging gun 40 includes: 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 402 is connected to the power cabinet through a distribution box. Further, the gun line 402 includes: a power line and a communication line.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 6 shown in the figure, the charging gun storage mechanism 20 includes: first to fourth charging gun storage mechanisms 201-204; the distribution box includes: first to fourth switches K1-K4.

[0036] Wherein, one end of the first switch K1 is connected to the gun line of the first charging gun storage mechanism 201; one end of the second switch K2 is connected to the gun line of the second charging gun storage mechanism 202, and the other end of the second switch K2 is connected to the other end of the first switch K1 and then connected to the first output end of the power cabinet 50; one end of the third switch K3 is connected to the gun line of the third charging gun storage mechanism 203; one end of the fourth switch K4 is connected to the gun line of the fourth charging gun storage mechanism 204, and the other end of the fourth switch K4 is connected to the other end of the third switch K3 and then connected to the second output end of the power cabinet 50.

[0037] Specifically, even if two adjacent parking spaces are both full of vehicles, only 2 charging guns are required to work. Therefore, the present utility model uses a distribution box to switch the output circuit of the power cabinet between the power lines of two guns. The distribution box can also automatically switch the signal lines of the charging guns, or the system can automatically identify the signal ports of the corresponding guns. For example, if only 201 needs to work, control K1 to close and K2 to open. If only 203 needs to work, control K3 to close and K4 to open. The first switch K1 - the fourth switch K4 are not limited to the form of mechanical switches or electrical switches. Thus, the wiring of the power cabinet can be reduced, and the cost can be lowered at the same time.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the automatic charging device proposed by the present utility model can meet the charging requirements of the charging ports of any vehicle in different parking space forms, and realize the automatic charging of any vehicle entering the warehouse in any form. For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 are respectively the charging realization methods when the vehicle with the left front charging port 501 reverses into the warehouse and enters the warehouse forward. The automatic charging mechanism 30 moves on the mobile guiding mechanism 10 and rotates its own mechanism to reach the different positions where the left front charging port 501 is located when reversing into the warehouse and entering the warehouse forward, and respectively grabs the charging guns 40 near their respective positions for plugging in and charging.

[0039] Similarly, automatic charging can be realized for all other possible parking forms. In the scenario of a combination of multiple parking spaces and multiple automatic charging devices, automatic charging of any vehicle in any parking space and in any form (entering the warehouse forward / reversing into the warehouse / side parking) can be realized. Even in the scenario of a single parking space and a single automatic charging device, only 1 set of charging gun storage mechanism needs to be retained, and through an appropriate vehicle warehousing form (entering the warehouse forward / reversing into the warehouse), automatic charging of any vehicle can also be realized.

[0040] In summary, for the automatic charging device of the present utility model, the present utility model adopts a movable automatic charging mechanism, so as to meet the charging requirements of the charging ports of any vehicle in different parking space forms, and realize the automatic charging of any vehicle entering the warehouse in any form.
