The driving end of the second driving mechanism 223 is connected to the base 1. In this way, the second driving mechanism 223 drives the base 1 to move up and down through the second sliders 222, so that the position of the flexible charging docking mechanism 3 in the vertical direction can be adjusted, facilitating docking with the robot 200.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are two vertical adjustment assemblies 22, and the two vertical adjustment assemblies 22 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second connection seat 232. The base 1 includes a first base portion 11 and two second base portions 12 disposed on opposite sides of the first base portion 11. Specifically, the two second base portions 12 are respectively and vertically disposed on the two side edges of the first base portion 11 in the first direction D1-D1, and the two second base portions 12 respectively extend backward along the third direction D3-D3.

Specifically, the linear bearing 311 includes a bearing portion 3111 and an abutting portion 3112 provided on one side in the radial direction of the bearing portion 3111. The outer diameter of the abutting portion 3112 is larger than the outer diameter of the bearing portion 3111.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 , the reset assembly 34 includes two second elastic members. The two second elastic elements 341 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the swing bearing 323. The two ends of the second elastic element 341 are respectively connected to the first connecting plate 2321 and the second connecting plate 2322. Preferably, the second elastic element 341 is a tension spring. When the first electrode 230 in the charging box 210 of the robot 200 is separated from the electrode assembly 33, the electrode assembly 33 can be automatically reset through the second elastic element 341 for the next docking.

[0062] There are two first fixing members 324 provided on the first support plate 321.

[0064] In this embodiment, the flexible charging docking mechanism 3 includes a first flexible charging docking mechanism and a second flexible charging docking mechanism. The first flexible charging docking mechanism and the second flexible charging docking mechanism are arranged overlapping up and down, and the structure of the second flexible charging docking mechanism is the same as that of the first flexible charging docking mechanism. The charging box 210 of the robot 200 is simultaneously docked with the second electrode 332 of the first flexible charging docking mechanism 3 and the second flexible charging docking mechanism.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 7 , the base 1 further includes a limiting member 13, and the limiting member 13 is arranged between the first connecting plate 2321 and the first base portion 11. Specifically, the limiting member 13 includes a first limiting portion 131 and two second limiting portions 132 vertically arranged at opposite ends of the first limiting portion 131. The two second limiting portions 132 are respectively fixedly connected to the first base portion 11 by screws. There is a gap between the first limiting portion 131 and the first base portion 11. When the first electrode 230 in the charging box 210 of the robot 200 is docked with the second electrode 332, the swinging assembly 32 and the telescopic assembly 31 are simultaneously forced to move backward, and the first connecting plate 2321 abuts against the first limiting portion 131, thereby restricting the linear guide 313 from moving backward further. Thus, the safety of the overall structure is ensured.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7, a position signal receiver 4 is further provided on the base 1, and a position signal transmitter 220 is provided on the robot 200. The position signal receiver 4 is electrically / signal-connected to the adjustment mechanism 2. The adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the position of the base 1 according to the position signal received by the position signal receiver 4, so that the electrode assembly 33 can be docked with the robot 200. Specifically, the position signal receiver 4 is arranged on the first base 11, and the position signal transmitter 220 is arranged in the charging box 210 of the robot 200. Preferably, there are four position signal receivers 4, and the four position signal receivers 4 are respectively arranged at the four vertex positions of the first base 11. There are four position signal transmitters 220 in the charging box 210, and the four position signal transmitters 220 are respectively arranged around the first electrode 230, and the spacing distribution of the four position signal transmitters 220 is the same as the spacing distribution of the four position signal receivers 4, so as to improve the docking position accuracy of the first electrode 230 of the robot 200 and the second electrode 332 of the charging pile 100. Preferably, the position signal receiver 4 is an infrared receiver, and the position signal transmitter 220 is an infrared transmitter.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the charging pile 100 further includes an electrode protective cover 5, and the electrode protective cover 5 is arranged on the periphery of the electrode assembly 33. Specifically, the electrode protective cover 5 is connected to the base 1 through a telescopic assembly 31. In this way, when the charging pile 100 is docked with the robot 200 for charging, the electrode protective cover 5 elastically abuts against the battery box of the robot 200 and moves towards one side of the base 1. When the charging pile 100 is separated from the robot 200, the electrode protective cover 5 is synchronously pushed outwards away from the base 1 through the telescopic assembly 31 and is synchronized with the electrode assembly 33. That is, it can avoid the electrode assembly 33 being directly exposed to the external environment and avoid rigid docking with the charging box 210 of the robot 200. In this way, it plays a certain protective role for the electrode assembly 33.

[0068] The charging pile 100 further includes a controller, and the controller is electrically / signal-connected to the first driving mechanism 214, the second driving mechanism 223 and the infrared receiver respectively. When the robot 200 enters the hangar, the four position signal receivers 4 installed on the first base 11 receive the signals sent by the four position signal transmitters 220 installed in the charging box 210. The position signal receiver 4 sends the signals to the controller, and the controller controls the first driving mechanism 214 and the second driving mechanism 223 to adjust the position of the base 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions based on the signals, so that the second electrode 332 is centered with the first electrode 230 of the robot 200, and then controls the robot 200 to drive towards the charging pile 100 for charging.
