[0051] Specific working principle:
[0052] When the robot comes to the charging pile for charging, the robot will first align the charging interface with the first electrode sheet 2 and the second electrode sheet 3. Since the robot moves at a certain speed, the first spring 411 and the second spring 421 can provide a buffering effect for the first electrode sheet 2 and the second electrode sheet 3 when the robot docks its own charging interface to the electrode sheet of the charging pile, avoiding damage to the robot charging port or the electrode sheet, or avoiding hard collision. After the docking interface of the robot is electrically connected with the electrode sheet, charging can be realized. After the robot completes charging, it can separate its charging interface from the electrode sheet, and the robot drives away from the charging pile. At this time, the first spring 411 and the second spring 421 are no longer extruded by external force, and the first electrode sheet 2 and the second electrode sheet 3 are withdrawn and exposed outside the side wall of the box 1, so that the electrode sheet is reset to the initial state for the next charging.
[0053] It should be noted that the terms "comprising", "containing", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or device.
