Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot charging base technology, specifically a charging base structure for a home intelligent robot. Background Technology

[0002] Home smart robots are devices that integrate artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, sensors, and automation technologies, designed to provide convenience, safety, entertainment, and assistance services for families. They can perform a variety of tasks to help users simplify daily life and improve their quality of life.

[0003] Existing home intelligent robots are mainly powered by batteries, but battery capacity is limited. When the battery is about to run out, the robot needs to move to the charging dock to recharge. Since the robot's charging port is usually located at the bottom, and the charging dock's charging rod is also positioned at a low position on the charging dock, it is easy for the charging rod to rise and insert into the charging port to make connection. However, during the process of inserting the charging rod into the robot's charging port, there is a problem that the charging rod is not fully inserted into the robot's charging port, which affects the robot's normal charging. Furthermore, when the robot finishes charging and leaves the charging dock, the charging rod is exposed, posing a safety hazard. To address these issues, those skilled in the art have proposed a charging dock structure for home intelligent robots to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a charging base structure for a home intelligent robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A charging base structure for a home intelligent robot includes a charging base, a charging limiting frame installed at the bottom of the charging base, and further includes;

[0007] A connecting arm is slidably connected to a charging base. Two symmetrically distributed brackets are installed at the bottom of the connecting arm. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the brackets. A charging plate is mounted on the rotating shaft. A second motor connected to the rotating shaft is mounted on the brackets. A charging plug is mounted on the charging plate. A protective cover is mounted on the connecting arm.

[0008] A lifting mechanism is installed inside the charging base and is used to drive the connecting arm to lift.

[0009] A limiting mechanism is provided on both sides of the charging limiting frame to limit and fix the robot base that enters the charging limiting frame.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lifting mechanism includes a sliding cavity opened in the charging base, a lifting plate connected to the connecting arm is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the lifting plate is rotatably arranged in the sliding cavity, and a first motor connected to the threaded rod is installed in the sliding cavity.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the limiting mechanism includes hydraulic rods installed on both sides of the charging limiting frame, and the hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the limiting plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, sensors are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the charging limiting frame.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the charging base is connected to a wire, and the wire is connected to a plug.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the robot needs to be charged, the robot's base moves into the charging limiting frame and adjusts its charging position so that the charging port at its bottom aligns with the charging rod on the charging plate. Then, under the action of the limiting mechanism, the robot's base is limited, which facilitates the lifting mechanism to drive the connecting arm to rise, causing the charging rod on the charging plate to rise and insert into the charging port of the robot's base. This avoids the charging rod not being fully inserted into the charging port of the robot's base, which would affect the normal charging of the robot. After the robot is fully charged, the shaft will rotate under the drive of the second motor, causing the charging plate to rotate upward until the charging plate rotates to a vertical position. The charging rod will then be placed inside the protective cover of the connecting arm, thus protecting the charging rod and preventing it from being exposed, thereby improving safety.

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 A charging base structure for a home intelligent robot includes a charging base 1, a charging limiting frame 2 installed at the bottom of the charging base 1, and further includes;

[0021] A connecting arm 9 is slidably connected to the charging base 1. Two symmetrically distributed brackets 10 are installed at the bottom of the connecting arm 9. A rotating shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 10. A charging plate 12 is mounted on the rotating shaft 11. A second motor 13 connected to the rotating shaft 11 is mounted on the bracket 10. A charging plug 14 is mounted on the charging plate 12. A protective cover 15 is mounted on the connecting arm 9.

[0022] A lifting mechanism is provided inside the charging base 1 and is used to drive the connecting arm 9 to lift.

[0023] A limiting mechanism is provided on both sides of the charging limiting frame 2 to limit and fix the robot base entering the charging limiting frame 2.

[0024] When the robot needs to be charged, its base moves into the charging limit frame 2 and adjusts its charging position so that the charging port at its bottom aligns with the charging rod 14 on the charging plate 12. Then, the limiting mechanism limits the robot's base, making it easier for the lifting mechanism to drive the connecting arm 9 to rise, causing the charging rod 14 on the charging plate 12 to rise and insert into the charging port of the robot's base. This prevents the charging rod 14 from not being fully inserted into the charging port of the robot's base, which would affect the normal charging of the robot. After the robot is fully charged, the rotating shaft 11 will rotate under the drive of the second motor 13, causing the charging plate 12 to rotate upward until the charging plate 12 rotates to a vertical position. The charging rod 14 will then be placed inside the protective cover 15 of the connecting arm 9, thus protecting the charging rod 14 and preventing it from being exposed, thereby improving safety.

[0025] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a sliding cavity 5 formed in the charging base 1, a lifting plate 6 slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 5 and connected to the connecting arm 9, a threaded rod 7 rotatably disposed in the sliding cavity 5 and threadedly connected to the lifting plate 6, and a first motor 8 connected to the threaded rod 7 installed in the sliding cavity 5.

[0026] When the charging rod 14 needs to be inserted into the charging port at the bottom of the robot base, the built-in controller starts the first motor 8. The first motor 8 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate, causing the lifting plate 6 to rise along the sliding cavity 5, thereby driving the connecting arm 9 to rise, which in turn drives the charging plate 12 to rise, so that the charging rod 14 on the charging plate 12 rises and is inserted into the charging port at the bottom of the robot base, realizing the charging connection and starting to charge the robot.

[0027] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes hydraulic rods 3 installed on both sides of the charging limiting frame 2, and the hydraulic rods 3 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 4.

[0028] After the robot's base moves into the charging limit frame 2 and is adjusted to the charging posture, the built-in controller will activate the hydraulic rod 3. The hydraulic rod 3 will drive the limit plate 4 to limit the robot's base, thereby facilitating the raising of the charging plug 14 and its complete insertion into the charging port at the bottom of the robot's base.

[0029] In one embodiment, sensors 16 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the charging limit frame 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the robot base enters the charging limiting frame 2 and begins to adjust its own posture, the sensors 16 on both sides of the charging limiting frame 2 and the sensors 16 on the robot base are used to detect whether the robot base is in the correct charging position. It should be noted that the sensors 16 in this embodiment include pressure sensors 16 and infrared sensors 16, etc., which are mainly used to detect whether the robot base has moved into the charging limiting frame 2 correctly.

[0031] In one embodiment, the charging base 1 is connected to a wire 17, and the wire 17 is connected to a plug 18. Current is introduced through the plug 18 and transmitted through the wire 17 to power the charging base.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the robot needs to be charged, the robot's base moves into the charging limit frame 2 and adjusts its own charging position so that the charging port at its bottom aligns with the charging rod 14 on the charging plate 12. Then, the robot's base is limited by the limiting mechanism. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the connecting arm 9 to rise, which in turn drives the charging rod 14 on the charging plate 12 to rise and insert into the charging port of the robot's base. After the robot is fully charged, the rotating shaft 11 will rotate under the drive of the second motor 13, causing the charging plate 12 to rotate upward until the charging plate 12 rotates to a vertical position. The charging rod 14 will then be placed inside the protective cover 15 of the connecting arm 9, thereby protecting the charging rod 14, preventing it from being exposed, and improving safety.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
