[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present invention discloses a vehicle-mounted robot 100. The vehicle-mounted robot 100 includes a mobile device 1, a controller, and a charging device 2. For the convenience of explanation, the present invention defines the following Figure 1The first direction D1-D1 shown is the moving direction of the vehicle-mounted robot 100, the second direction D2-D2 is the width direction of the vehicle-mounted robot 100, and the third direction D3-D3 is the height direction of the vehicle-mounted robot 100. The first direction D1-D1, the second direction D2-D2, and the third direction D3-D3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 The mobile device 1 includes a front end 101 and a rear end 102 that are positioned relative to each other along a first direction D1-D1. The controller is disposed within the mobile device 1, and the charging device 2 is disposed at the front end 101 of the mobile device 1. This facilitates docking with a charging station 200 for charging.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The charging device 2 includes a box body 21, an electrode assembly 22, a protective cover 23 and a driving device 24. The box body 21 has an opening 201 on the side away from the mobile device 1. The protective cover 23 covers the opening 201. The electrode assembly 22 is arranged in the box body 21. The driving device 24 is electrically or signal-connected to the controller. One end of the driving device 24 is connected to the box body 21, and the other end of the driving device 24 is connected to the protective cover 23. The protective cover 23 is driven up and down by the driving device 24 to open or hide the opening 201. This can prevent the electrode assembly 22 from being exposed for a long time and being damaged or damp, which affects the conductive performance of the electrode assembly 22.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention also discloses a robot system, which includes a vehicle-mounted robot 100 and a parking garage. A charging pile 200 and a positioning mark are provided in the parking garage, and the positioning mark is connected to the controller signal. When the vehicle-mounted robot 100 needs to be charged, the controller controls the mobile device 1 to enter the parking garage, and the positioning mark sends a positioning signal to the controller. The controller controls the mobile device 1 to move toward the charging pile 200 based on the positioning signal. When the charging device 2 approaches the charging pile 200, the controller sends an opening signal of the protective cover 23 to the driving device 24. The driving device 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move upward based on the opening signal of the protective cover 23, so that the opening 201 is opened, so that the electrode assembly 22 is electrically connected to the charging pile 200. When the vehicle-mounted robot 100 completes charging, the controller controls the mobile device 1 to drive out of the parking garage, and the controller sends a hiding signal of the protective cover 23 to the driving device 24. The driving device 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move downward based on the hiding signal of the protective cover 23, so that the opening 201 is hidden. Such a configuration can prevent the electrode assembly 22 from being always exposed to the outside and from being damaged or damp, thereby affecting the conductive performance of the electrode assembly 22 .

In this embodiment, the slider 252 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 21, and the slide rail 251 is provided on the inner wall of the protective cover 23. The slide rail 251 extends along the third direction D3-D3. As the driving device 24 can drive the protective cover 23 to move up and down along the third direction D3-D3 relative to the box body 21, the protective cover 23 can be opened or hidden.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 Specifically, the box body 21 includes a top wall 211, a bottom wall 212 arranged opposite to the top wall 211, and two oppositely arranged first side walls 213 connecting the two ends of the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212. Specifically, the box body 21 has a rectangular frame structure, the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212 are both extended along the second direction D2-D2, and the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212 are parallel to each other in the third direction D3-D3, and the two ends of the first side wall 213 are perpendicularly connected to the same end of the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212. That is, the two first side walls 213 are parallel to each other in the second direction D2-D2, and the first side walls 213 extend along the third direction D3-D3. The top wall 211, the bottom wall 212, and the two first side walls 213 are connected end to end in sequence to form the rectangular box body 21. The protective cover 23 includes an upper wall 233, a front wall 231 perpendicular to the upper wall 233, and two second side walls 232 perpendicular to the ends of the upper wall 233.

By electrically or signal-connecting the motor 243 to the controller, the second end of the telescopic rod 242 is connected to the protective cover 23. In this way, the controller can send a forward or reverse rotation signal to the motor 243 to cause the telescopic rod 242 to extend and retract within the cylinder body 241, thereby driving the protective cover 23 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the drive device 24 is a push rod. In other embodiments, the drive device 24 can also be a cylinder, which is not limited here.
