[0002] AGV is a kind of automatic guided vehicle, and is generally used in the transportation of warehouse and the like. AGV charging pile is adapted to the charging of AGV. The existing AGV charging pile mainly has two forms. One is that AGV reaches the specified position, and then the charging pile is connected with AGV to charge after the action. The other is that the charging pile is fixed, and AGV drives to the specific position to charge after the charging connector of the charging pile is contacted with the vehicle body.

[0003] Regardless of the charging mode, the charging connector is directly exposed, which may be affected by the environment such as impact, wetting and the like, thereby causing safety hazards to the next charging, and there are also damages caused by dust adhesion and human error operation. A protective device is needed to protect the charging brush plate head. The existing protective device mainly uses an organ cover to cover the side of the brush plate, and the charging connector is exposed to not affect the contact charging with the vehicle body. However, the organ cover is fixed on the charging pile body, and the organ cover is also a fixed structure, which cannot protect the charging connector in all directions. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0024] The utility model will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment one

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the AGV charging pile with the protective cover provided in the embodiment includes a charging pile body 1, a protective cover 10 and a driving device 20, the charging pile body 1 is provided with an exposed charging connector 2, the protective cover 10 is movably assembled on the charging pile body 1, wherein the embodiment specifically comprises: the protective cover 10 includes two cover bodies 11, the two cover bodies 11 are respectively hingedly assembled on the left and right sides of the charging pile body, each cover body 11 is hingedly connected to the charging pile body 1 through two hinges 3, and the charging connector 2 is located in the middle of the two cover bodies 11. The driving device 20 is provided with two electric push rods 21, the two electric push rods 21 are respectively connected to the two cover bodies 11, and the electric push rod 21 drives the connected cover body 11 to swing horizontally on the charging pile body 1; as in the embodiment, the two electric push rods 21 drive the two cover bodies 11 to swing towards the middle and close until the two cover bodies 11 abut against each other, at this time, the two cover bodies 11 jointly cover the charging connector 2, and when it is needed to expose the charging connector 2, the two electric push rods 21 drive the two cover bodies 11 to swing outward and separate to expose the charging connector 2 until they are separated to the set outermost position, thereby opening the charging connector 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the position is defined as the first position; when it is needed to expose the charging connector 2, the two electric push rods 21 drive the two cover bodies 11 to swing outward and separate to expose the charging connector 2 until they are separated to the set outermost position, thereby opening the charging connector 2.Figure 3 As shown, the position is defined as the second position. That is, the driving device 20 can drive the protective cover 10 to switch between the first position of covering the charging connector 2 and the second position of being opened to expose the charging connector 2.

[0027] Since the movable protective cover 10 is arranged, the protective cover 10 can be arranged as a full-range protection structure. For example, in the embodiment, when the two cover bodies 11 are closed (i.e., in the first position), the protective cover 10 protects the upper side, the lower side and the peripheral side of the charging connector 2, forming a full-range protection structure. That is, the protective cover 10 can protect the exposed charging connector 2 of the AGV charging pile in a full range, and the structure is simple.

[0028] Further, in order to achieve better sealing effect when the two cover bodies 11 are closed, the embodiment is designed as follows: the two cover bodies 11 have corresponding abutting edges 111, and the abutting edges 111 are provided with sealing strips 12. When the abutting edges 111 of the two cover bodies 11 abut against each other, the sealing strips 12 are tightly sealed. In this way, it can be well ensured that external water vapor, dust and other foreign matters are not easy to enter from the gap between the two cover bodies 11, thereby achieving a good protection effect.

[0029] Further, the lower part of the protective cover 10 is provided with a shielding part 13. The shielding part 13 is arranged for the inductor of the AGV vehicle to sense. When the protective cover 10 covers the charging connector 2, the AGV charging pile is idle. At this time, when the AGV vehicle to be charged drives to the front of the AGV charging pile, the shielding part 13 under the protective cover 10 can be sensed by the inductor of the AGV vehicle. At this time, the AGV vehicle can be automatically parked and waited. After the protective cover 10 is opened, the shielding part 13 moves away with the protective cover 10, and the inductor of the AGV vehicle cannot sense the shielding part 13 after the opening is completed. Specifically, the shielding part 13 is a brush, which can play a role of giving way and cleaning while ensuring that the inductor of the AGV vehicle can be sensed.

[0030] In the embodiment, the driving device 20 adopts the structure of an electric push rod 21. Through electric driving control, one end of the electric push rod 21 is hinged to the charging pile body 1, and the other end is hinged to the cover body 11. The cover body 11 can be driven to swing and switch through the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 21. The structure connection is simple and easy to realize. Specifically, the electric push rod 21 is selected to have a waterproof level of IP65.

[0031] Further, the driving device 20 or the charging pile body 1 is provided with a position sensor (such as a contact type micro switch or a non-contact type photoelectric switch), and the driving device 20 triggers the position sensor when the protective cover 10 is switched to the second position, indicating that the position has been switched. The output end of the position sensor is connected to a controller, the controller is connected to the driving device 20, the charging pile body 1 is also provided with a communication module, and the controller is in communication connection with the control system of the AGV vehicle through the communication module. Through the above structure design, when the driving device 20 drives the protective cover 10 to switch to the second position, the position sensor is triggered, and the position sensor outputs a signal to the controller. The controller controls the driving device 20 to remain, such as controlling the power supply of the electric push rod 21 to remain in the embodiment, to realize self-locking. In this way, the protective cover 10 can be kept in the current position, avoiding the offset of the protective cover caused by accidental collision. At the same time, the controller also outputs a signal to the AGV vehicle that needs to be charged through the communication module, so as to send the information that the protective cover 10 has been opened. At this time, the AGV vehicle can continue to charge.

[0033] The AGV charging pile with a protective cover provided in the embodiment has the same structure as that in embodiment one, except that in the embodiment, the two cover bodies 11 of the protective cover 10 are distributed on the upper and lower sides, and the driving device 20 is a driving motor that directly drives the two hinged cover bodies 11 to swing, so as to realize the opening and closing action of the protective cover.

[0034] Embodiment three

[0035] The AGV charging pile with a protective cover provided in the embodiment has the same structure as that in embodiment one, except that in the embodiment, the two cover bodies 11 of the protective cover 10 are slidingly arranged, that is, a sliding rail is arranged on the charging pile body 1, and the two cover bodies 11 are slidingly assembled on the sliding rail. The driving device 20 drives the two cover bodies 11 to slide on the sliding rail to approach or move away from each other, so as to slide and switch between the first position and the second position.

[0038] The above-mentioned embodiments respectively disclose different schemes for implementing the application, and of course are not limited thereto. For example, the driving device 20 can also be implemented by using a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, or can be directly manually driven.
