During the process of the unmanned boat moving to the charging dock 4, the guiding sliders 3 on both sides of the unmanned boat body 1 cooperate with the guiding rails 41 to guide the unmanned boat into the fitting groove 40. After the unmanned boat enters the fitting groove 40, the charging interface part 2 is aligned with and initially cooperates with the charging head 6 of the charging column 5. Then, the fixing mechanism 8 operates and cooperates with the extended fixing edge 7 on the charging interface part 2, so as to completely fix and cooperate the charging interface part 2 on the charging head 6. Compared with the prior art, the utility model effectively improves the charging connection stability between the unmanned boat and the charging dock 4 through the setting of the fixing mechanism 8 and the extended fixing edge 7, thereby improving the working stability of the unmanned boat charging device.

[0056] Embodiment 2:

[0057] This embodiment provides a charging device for an unmanned boat used for reservoir water quality detection. In addition to including the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it also has the following technical features. The fixing mechanism 8 further includes: an installation cavity 80, the installation cavity 80 is arranged in the charging dock 4, there are two installation cavities 80 and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fitting groove 40, and the installation cavity 80 has an opening on the front surface of the charging dock 4; a set of sliding grooves 81, the set of sliding grooves 81 is composed of two sliding grooves 81 symmetrically distributed up and down on the inner wall of the installation cavity 80, and the sliding grooves 81 extend along the front-back direction of the charging dock 4; a moving block 82, the moving block 82 is movably arranged on the sliding groove 81, a fixing arm 83 is movably arranged on the moving block 82, and one end of the fixing arm 83 far from the moving block 82 extends to the outside of the installation cavity 80; a connecting rod 84, the connecting rod 84 is composed of two rod segments movably connected, and the outer ends of the two rod segments are respectively movably connected to the two fixing arms 83; a driving part 85, the driving part 85 is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cavity 80 and is located between the two sliding grooves 81; a cross beam 86, the cross beam 86 is arranged at one end of the fixing arm 83 far from the moving block 82, and both ends of the cross beam 86 are connected to the fixing arms 83 on both sides of the fitting groove 40;

[0058] Wherein, the driving end of the driving part 85 is movably connected to the connecting end of the two rod segments.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the unmanned boat needs to be charged, the unmanned boat moves to the charging dock 4 and aligns its tail with the charging dock 4. During the process of the unmanned boat moving to the charging dock 4, the guiding sliders 3 on both sides of the unmanned boat body 1 cooperate with the guiding rails 41 to guide the unmanned boat into the fitting groove 40. After the unmanned boat enters the fitting groove 40, the charging interface part 2 is aligned with the charging head 6 of the charging column 5 and is initially engaged. Then, the driving end of the driving part 85 drives the connecting rod 84 to move towards the inside of the installation cavity 80. During the process of the connecting rod 84 moving towards the inside of the installation cavity 80, the included angle between the two rod segments becomes smaller, thereby driving the two fixed arms 83 on the same side to approach each other, and further causing the cross beam 86 located on the upper side and the cross beam 86 located on the lower side to approach each other. During the process of the two cross beams 86 approaching each other, the extended fixed edge 7 is clamped in the middle and gradually driven towards the charging head 6, so that the charging interface part 2 and the charging head 6 are further engaged. At the same time, due to the limitation of the two cross beams 86, the influence of shaking on the charging interface part 2 can be effectively reduced. No matter how the entry and exit angles of the unmanned boat change, good contact between the charging port and the charging device can be ensured, and the risk of charging failure is reduced. Finally, driven by the driving part 85, the two cross beams 86 complete clamping the charging interface part 2, thereby fixing the charging interface part 2 on the charging head 6. Compared with the prior art, the utility model can effectively improve the charging connection stability between the unmanned boat and the charging dock 4, thereby improving the working stability of the unmanned boat charging device.

[0060] Embodiment 3:

The charging interface part 2 further includes: a charging slot 20, the charging slot 20 is arranged in the charging interface part 2, a charging contact piece 21 is arranged at the end of the charging slot 20, and a movable cover 22 is arranged at the socket of the charging slot 20;

[0062] Wherein, the movable cover 22 can open the charging slot 20 when being pushed by the charging head 6.

[0063] The charging head 6 further includes: a plug main body 60, a plug post 61 is arranged at the front end of the plug main body 60; a charging contact 62, the charging contact 62 is arranged on the plug post 61;

[0064] Wherein, the plug main body 60 can be inserted into the charging slot 20, and the charging contact 62 can be in contact with the charging contact piece 21.

[0065] The charging contact 62 further includes: a contact base 620 disposed on the plug post 61, with a connection cavity 621 formed in the contact base 620; a contact body 622, one end of which is movably disposed in the connection cavity 621 and electrically connected to the contact base 620, an inner cavity 623 is formed in the contact body 622, and a guiding groove 624 is provided on the inner wall of the inner cavity 623; a pre-tightening spring 625 disposed in the connection cavity 621, one end of the pre-tightening spring 625 is connected to the connection cavity 621, and the other end is connected to the contact body 622; a conductive support rod 626, one end of the conductive support rod 626 is connected to the inner wall of the connection cavity 621, and the other end is movably connected to the guiding groove 624 through a conductive slider 627;

[0066] Wherein, a first current path is formed between the contact body 622 and the contact base 620, and a second current path is formed between the contact body 622 and the conductive support rod 626.

[0067] Moreover, the conductive support rod 626 can be made of a conventional elastic conductive material. Two conductive support rods 626 can be provided and symmetrically distributed.

[0068] In this embodiment, during the cooperation between the charging interface part 2 and the charging head 6, the plug body 60 drives the plug post 61 to be inserted into the charging slot 20 together. After the plug body 60 and the plug post 61 are inserted into the charging slot 20, the charging contact 62 contacts the charging contact piece 21 to charge the unmanned boat. When the charging contact 62 contacts the charging contact piece 21, the contact body 622 is squeezed and moves into the connection cavity 621 of the contact base 620, thereby causing the pre-tightening spring 625 to contract. The pre-tightening spring 625 makes the contact body 622 always closely contact the charging contact piece 21 through elastic force, maintaining the stable connection of the current path. At the same time, during the movement of the contact body 622, the conductive slider 627 can move along the guiding groove 624, so as to always maintain the electrical connection between the conductive support rod 626 and the contact body 622. By forming a first current path between the contact body 622 and the contact base 620 and a second current path between the contact body 622 and the conductive support rod 626, the circuit path of the charging contact 62 is always kept in a stable connection state, preventing the current path from being disconnected due to wear between the contact body 622 and the contact base 620, and further improving the working stability of the unmanned boat charging device.
