Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging devices, in particular to a robot charging device. Background Art

[0002] In a nuclear power plant, in some working areas, due to a large number of pipelines and other equipment, the space is narrow and it is inconvenient for personnel to conduct patrol inspections. Therefore, the nuclear power plant is equipped with many patrol inspection robots for patrol inspection. The robot charging pile with a conventional structure adopts a 3-spring structure, where the upper and lower two springs are used for conducting electricity, and the middle spring is used for contact judgment. The judgment logic is as follows: only when the middle spring is pressed by the signal contact piece of the patrol inspection robot, the upper and lower springs of the robot charging pile can be electrified. However, in this structure, when the patrol inspection robot deviates from the normal position, the middle contact piece may also be pressed down, resulting in abnormal electrification of the upper and lower springs and abnormal charging. In addition, the robot charging pile usually has a fixed height and can only be used for charging patrol inspection robots with a certain height dimension, and its applicability is poor.
