[0028] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] As Figure 3As shown, in the embodiment, a robot charging device is provided, the charging device 1 comprises a fixed seat 11 arranged fixedly, the fixed seat 11 is provided with a groove, a supporting block 12 is arranged in the groove, and an electrode sheet 13 is arranged on the end face of the supporting block 12; specifically, the supporting block 12 is arranged at the opening position of the groove and is connected to the fixed seat 11 through a floating mechanism 15. On the basis of the floating arrangement of the supporting block 12, the circumferential side of the supporting block 12 is arranged spaced apart from the groove wall of the groove, so as to avoid the groove wall from interfering with the floating effect of the supporting block 12 and reduce the floating range of the supporting block 12; at the same time, the spacing cannot be too large, so as to prevent the floating amplitude of the supporting block 12 from being too large and causing the floating mechanism 15 to fail to reset.
[0030] Since the supporting block 12 is arranged floatingly, the end face thereof arranged corresponding to the electrode sheet 13 also has a floating function, please refer to Figure 4 The floating mechanism 15 is arranged between the bottom face of the supporting block 12 and the groove bottom, and the two are connected only through the floating mechanism 15. The electrode sheet 13 is arranged on the end face of the supporting block 12 away from the floating mechanism 15, so that the electrode sheet 13 can be exposed relative to the fixed seat 11 through the opening of the groove, so as to make the conductive pole 2 contact the electrode sheet 13.
[0031] Through the relative movement between the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13, the conductive pole 2 can contact the electrode sheet 13 and generate a certain extrusion force on the electrode sheet 13 after the contact. If the conductive pole 2 contacts the electrode sheet 13 in an inclined manner, the electrode sheet 13 will be inclined through the floating mechanism 15 under the action of the extrusion force, so that the electrode sheet 13 can be adapted to the conductive pole 2, the two are in full contact, and the charging effect is ensured.
[0032] In combination with the above embodiment, the charging device 1 of the application comprises a fixed seat 11 arranged fixedly, a supporting block 12 connected to the fixed seat 11 through a floating mechanism 15, so that the supporting block 12 has a certain floating function, and an electrode sheet 13 arranged on the supporting block 12. When the conductive pole 2 contacts the electrode sheet 13 at an inclined angle, even if the conductive pole cannot be retracted due to the jam, the electrode sheet 13 can be adapted to float or incline under the floating function of the supporting block 12, so as to be in full contact with the conductive pole 2 and achieve stable charging effect.
[0033] In addition, the charging device 1 further comprises a conductive pole 2, which can move towards the electrode sheet 13, so that when moving to a certain position, the conductive pole 2 is in contact with the electrode sheet 13 and the two are in contact and extrusion, so as to keep good contact effect. The floating mechanism 15 adjusts the height and / or angle of the support block 12 according to the extrusion force of the corresponding area. The corresponding area should be the area where the conductive pole 2 extrudes the electrode sheet 13, so that the state of the support block 12 is automatically adjusted according to the extrusion force of the area, so that the electrode sheet 13 on the support block 12 can be matched with the conductive pole 2, so as to ensure the contact effect of the two.
[0034] In some embodiments, the fixed seat 11 can be arranged on the upper plane of the charging pile, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the corresponding conductive pole 2 is arranged on the lifting arm of the robot, which can drive the conductive pole 2 to move up and down, so as to realize the movement of the electrode sheet 13 and the conductive pole 2 towards each other.
[0035] In some embodiments, the fixed seat 11 can be arranged on the lifting arm, and the conductive pole 2 can be arranged on the upper plane of the charging pile. The fixed seat 11 is driven to move by the lifting arm, and then the electrode sheet 13 is driven to move towards the conductive pole 2, so as to realize the movement of the electrode sheet 13 and the conductive pole 2 towards each other.
[0036] It can be seen that the application adopts a vertical contact charging mode. In the vertical direction, the conductive pole 2 is more likely to be in a vertical state and move towards the electrode sheet 13 in the vertical direction, which can reduce the possibility of inclination of the conductive pole 2. Of course, the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13 can also adopt a horizontal contact mode or an inclined contact mode, so as to ensure that the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13 can move towards each other and can be in contact and extrusion when moving to a certain position. Here, no more limitations are made, and all fall within the protection scope of the application.
[0037] The application takes a vertical contact charging as an example for introduction, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lifting arm of the robot is located above the upper plane of the charging pile. The lifting arm can move up and down, so that the fixed seat 11 and the conductive pole 2 move towards each other in the vertical direction, and the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13 are in corresponding positions in the vertical direction, so that the two can be in contact and extrusion. It should be pointed out that the position of the robot can be moved to realize the corresponding positions of the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13 in the vertical direction.
[0038] In some embodiments, the floating mechanism 15 comprises a plurality of springs, please refer to Figure 4 , one end of the spring is connected with the bottom surface of the support block 12, and the other end of the spring is connected with the groove bottom of the groove. The spring can be an adaptive spring, which can automatically adjust the damping and elasticity to adapt to different extrusion conditions of the conductive pole 2 to the electrode sheet 13.
[0039] The plurality of springs are evenly distributed on a distribution circle with the center of the support block 12 as the center, so that the support block 12 is more evenly subjected to the thrust of the floating mechanism 15, and the support block 12 has a more stable floating effect.
[0040] In the embodiment, four springs are taken as an example, and the distribution positions of the four springs are arranged in a square shape, and the center of the square coincides with the center of the support block 12. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the basis that the floating mechanism 15 is an adaptive spring, the bottom surface of the support block 12 and the groove bottom of the groove are provided with spring seats 14, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected with the spring seats 14.
[0041] In addition, the electrode sheet 13 can be embedded on the end surface of the support block 12, and the outer surface of the electrode sheet 13 and the end surface of the support block 12 are smoothly transitioned. It should be pointed out that for the transmission charging mode, the robot is generally completely powered off during the charging process, and the extension spring force at the existing conductive pole 2 will also cause the separation of the robot and the charging pile, thereby affecting the charging. Therefore, the application is provided with a protruding portion corresponding to one or more side edges of the electrode sheet 13 on the support block 12, and the protruding portion is intersected with the side edge of the electrode sheet 13 on one side, so that the conductive pole 2 can be prevented from being separated from the electrode sheet 13 due to the movement of the robot under the limiting action of the protruding portion.
[0042] Further, the protruding portion gradually increases in height relative to the plane on which the outer surface of the electrode sheet 13 is located from the side close to the electrode sheet 13 to the side away from the electrode sheet 13, so that the conductive pole 2 can correct its position through the protruding portion during the contact process with the electrode sheet 13, to ensure that the conductive pole 2 can smoothly contact and extrude the electrode sheet 13. The protruding portion is provided with a smooth inclined surface or curved surface, and the bottom of the inclined surface or curved surface is smoothly transitioned with the outer surface of the electrode sheet 13, so that the conductive pole 2 can more smoothly contact the electrode sheet 13 during the movement process.
[0043] In summary of the above embodiments, the application ensures the sufficient contact between the electrode sheet 13 and the conductive pole 2 by the floating mechanism 15, and the floating mechanism 15 can provide certain counter thrust to ensure the contact pressure between the electrode sheet 13 and the conductive pole 2, and avoid the sparking phenomenon during charging; during the contact between the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13, the position of the conductive pole 2 can be corrected by the protruding part to ensure that the conductive pole 2 can be in direct contact with the electrode sheet 13; and after the contact and extrusion between the conductive pole 2 and the electrode sheet 13, the floating mechanism 15 automatically adjusts the height and angle according to the pressure of the corresponding area to ensure the complete contact between the electrode sheet 13 and the conductive pole 2. And the setting of the protruding part can limit the conductive pole 2 to a certain extent, so that it will not fall off the electrode sheet 13 when the robot is powered off. The application has the advantages of simple structure, compactness, easy implementation, low cost, perfect solution to the current charging structure, elimination of the phenomenon of electrode virtual attachment during charging, and avoidance of the separation between the robot and the charging pile after the robot is powered off.
