[0027] EMBODIMENT

[0028] As Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides an intelligent charging station, it includes female seat 10 and with female seat 10 detachable connection several child mobile power 20, female seat 10 is provided with for accommodating child mobile power 20's containing space 11, interactive screen 12, processor 30 and push mechanism 40, processor 30 is electrically connected with interactive screen 12, push mechanism 40 respectively, push mechanism 40 is connected between female seat 10 and child mobile power 20, processor 30 is used to receive the interactive signal of interactive screen 12 input, to control child mobile power 20 at least partial extension containing space 11. This intelligent charging station, by introducing intelligent elements, such as interactive screen 12 and processor 30, users can more intuitively, conveniently operate charging station. This design not only simplifies the interaction process between users and equipment, but also improves the user experience, push mechanism 40 makes child mobile power 20 can be partially extended according to the needs of containing space 11, increase the flexibility and convenience of user acquisition and return child mobile power 20. This allows users to more conveniently charge according to actual needs, improves the convenience and efficiency of use, intelligent design means that the charging station can automatically identify and handle different types of requests, such as charge state monitoring, power management and equipment allocation, etc., thereby reducing manual intervention, improving overall management efficiency and service quality, female seat 10 is provided with the space for accommodating child mobile power 20 specially, this helps to optimize the overall structural design of charging station, makes equipment more compact, saves space while also maintains the neatness of environment, because with higher intelligent level, this charging station can better adapt to the individual needs of different users, such as adding new functions or adjusting existing functions through software updates to respond to user feedback and market changes, thereby continuously improving user satisfaction.

[0029] In this embodiment, the processor 30 can be a microcontroller (MCU), a single-board computer (SBC), an embedded PC, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), etc. A microcontroller is a small computer that integrates the processor 30 core, memory, and input / output interfaces. It can serve as the core control unit of the charging station, processing signals input by the interactive screen 12 and controlling the operation of the push mechanism 40 according to these signals. Single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone provide higher computing power and more interface options. Using such a processor 30 can enable the charging station to support more complex operations, such as remote management over the network, data analysis, and other advanced functions. For applications requiring higher performance, such as AI large models, an embedded PC can be chosen as the processor 30. It can run more complex applications, provide powerful data processing capabilities, and support more diverse user interface development.

[0030] In this embodiment, the interactive screen 12 can be a resistive touchscreen, a capacitive touchscreen, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreen, an infrared touchscreen, a projected capacitive touchscreen (PCAP), an OLED display, etc.

[0031] Resistive touchscreens recognize user touch operations by detecting changes in pressure. They are relatively inexpensive and work with various input methods such as fingers, gloves, or styluses. However, their multi-layered structure can result in slightly lower image clarity and generally lower durability. Capacitive touchscreens operate by sensing the electrical current from the human body, providing higher sensitivity and a better user experience. They support multi-touch, allowing for more complex gestures. Users are more familiar with their operation due to the widespread use of capacitive screens in modern smartphones and tablets. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology detects touch location by detecting changes in the propagation of ultrasonic waves across the screen surface, providing excellent image quality and a high-resolution touch experience. Infrared touchscreens have infrared emitters and receivers mounted at the screen edges. When a finger or other object touches the screen, it blocks the infrared light, thus determining the location of the touch point. Projected capacitive touchscreens are an advanced capacitive technology that allows for very thin designs and extremely high sensitivity. They not only support precise multi-touch but also perform excellently on large screens. They are suitable for applications requiring high-end visual effects and interactive experiences.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the interactive screen 12 is positioned at the top of the base 10. Placing the interactive screen 12 at the top of the base 10 allows users to easily reach and view the screen whether standing or sitting. This design considers the user experience of users of different heights, avoiding inconvenience caused by bending over or raising arms, and improving user comfort. The top-positioned interactive screen 12 is closer to the user's eye level, making charging management, checking battery status, and other information queries more intuitive and convenient. This helps improve the speed and accuracy of information acquisition, reducing the time users spend searching for information. Placing the interactive screen 12 at the top of the base 10 facilitates the rational planning of the overall structure of the charging station, making the equipment look more compact and orderly. It also allows designers to arrange additional functional components or interfaces in other parts of the base 10, further enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the equipment. If the interactive screen 12 were located lower, accidental touches or other unexpected situations could lead to equipment malfunctions or settings changes. Placing it at the top reduces such risks, ensuring the stability and safety of equipment operation.

[0033] In this embodiment, the interactive screen 12 includes a display unit and an operation unit (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the display unit is responsible for displaying information such as battery status, the number of available sub-power banks 20, and charging progress. Clear information display helps users quickly understand the current status of the device. The operation unit allows users to interact with the device through touch or other input methods, such as selecting the sub-power bank 20 to use, adjusting settings, or querying information. Combining the two on a single interface makes the operation process more intuitive and easy to understand. The integration of the display unit and the operation unit allows users to complete all operations on the same screen without switching between different interfaces, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving the overall user experience.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the female connector 10 is equipped with a microphone module 13 and a speaker module 14, which are electrically connected to the processor 30. Specifically, through the speaker module 14, the charging station can provide voice prompts or feedback, such as operation instructions and battery status notifications. This method not only increases the diversity of information transmission but is also particularly suitable for use in situations where visual impairment is present. Combined with the microphone module 13, users can control some functions of the charging station through voice commands, such as checking the status of the sub-power bank 20, starting or stopping charging, making operation more convenient, especially when hands are occupied. Combined with AI technology, the charging station can become more intelligent, for example, automatically adjusting settings based on user habits or providing personalized service suggestions.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pushing mechanism 40 includes: a driving member 41, a pushing member 42 pulsatingly connected to the driving member 41, and a gripping member 43 disposed at the end of the pushing member 42 away from the driving member 41. The pushing member 42 is slidably disposed on the female base 10. The driving member 41 drives the pushing member 42 to move back and forth along the inner side to the outer side of the female base 10. The gripping member 43 is located within the receiving space 11 and is detachably connected to the sub-powered battery 20. By driving the pushing member 42 to move back and forth along the inner side to the outer side of the female base 10 through the driving member 41, the automatic pushing and retrieval of the sub-powered battery 20 is realized. This design reduces manual intervention and improves the ease of operation and automation of the charging station.

[0036] In this embodiment, each sub-mobile power supply 20 is provided with a driving member 41, which includes a servo motor. Servo motors are known for their precise position control capabilities. In the application of charging stations, this means that each sub-mobile power supply 20 can be accurately pushed to a designated position or moved at a specific speed and acceleration, ensuring the precision and reliability of the operation. Each sub-mobile power supply 20 is equipped with an independent servo motor, allowing them to work independently without interfering with each other. This allows quick response and adjustment of the state of each sub-mobile power supply 20 (such as pushing out or retracting) according to user needs, improving the overall response speed and flexibility of the system. Specifically, the driving member 42 is a slider guide structure, with the slider sliding along the guide rail fixed on the parent seat 10 to ensure the linear motion of the driving member 42. The slider can be directly connected to the servo motor through a shaft coupling. In other embodiments, the driving member 42 can be a rack and pinion combination, etc.

[0037] In this embodiment, the grabbing member 43 is provided with a first magnetic attraction part 431, and the sub-mobile power supply 20 is provided with a second magnetic attraction part 21, and the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 are magnetically connected. The first magnetic attraction part 431 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Preferably, a permanent magnet made of neodymium iron boron strong magnetic material is selected to ensure sufficient adsorption force. For application scenarios that require adjustment of adsorption strength, an electromagnet can be selected. The first magnetic attraction part 431 is mounted at one end of the grabbing member 43, which is designed as a groove or a protruding part to facilitate precise alignment with the second magnetic attraction part 21 on the sub-mobile power supply 20. Using magnetic connection significantly simplifies the docking and separation steps between the grabbing member 43 and the sub-mobile power supply 20, eliminating the need for complex mechanical locking mechanisms and improving operational efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, the grabbing member 43 is provided with a first charging part, and the sub-mobile power supply 20 is provided with a second charging part, and the first charging part and the second charging part are electrically connected. In this embodiment, the first charging part can be a conductive contact or a pogo pin. Preferably, a material with high electrical conductivity such as copper or gold-plated copper is selected to ensure good electrical connection. For application scenarios that require frequent plugging and unplugging, a pogo pin is an ideal choice as it can provide stable contact pressure. The first charging part is precisely mounted at one end of the grabbing member 43, and the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 have opposite magnetic poles, which can be used to position the sub-mobile power supply 20.

[0039] In combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the grabbing member 43 is provided with a sensing part 31, which is electrically connected to the processor 30, and is used to detect the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21;

[0040] When the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 is less than a first threshold value, the sensing part 31 outputs a first signal to the processor 30, and the processor 30, after receiving the first signal, controls the driving part 41 to be activated to move the pushing part 42 toward the inside of the female seat 10;

[0041] When the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and less than a second threshold value, the sensing part 31 outputs a second signal to the processor 30, and the processor 30, after receiving the second signal, controls the driving part 41 to be activated to move the pushing part 42 toward the outside of the female seat 10;

[0042] When the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the sensing part 31 outputs a third signal to the processor 30, and the processor 30, after receiving the third signal, controls the driving part 41 to be activated to move the pushing part 42 toward the inside of the female seat 10.

[0043] In the embodiment, the sensing part 31 can be a Hall effect sensor, a magnetoresistive sensor or other types of magnetic field sensors. These sensors can accurately measure the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21. The sensing part 31 is installed on the grabbing part 43 near the first magnetic attraction part 431 to facilitate accurate detection of the change in magnetic attraction force between the two. To ensure the accuracy of the data, shielding material can be provided around the sensor to reduce external interference. Two magnetic attraction force thresholds (a first threshold and a second threshold) are set in advance to determine different operating states. For example, the first threshold can be set to a lower magnetic attraction force value, indicating that the magnetic connection has not been fully established; the second threshold is set to a higher magnetic attraction force value, indicating that the magnetic connection has been firmly established. In specific operation, when the sensing part 31 detects that the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 is less than the first threshold, it indicates that the child mobile power supply 20 has been separated from the parent seat 10, at which time the sensing part 31 outputs a first signal to the processor 30, and after the processor 30 receives the first signal, the driving part 41 is controlled to start, and the pushing part 42 moves towards the inside of the parent seat 10 to recover the grabbing part 43. When the sensing part 31 detects that the magnetic attraction force is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold, it indicates that the child mobile power supply 20 has been placed in the storage space, at which time the sensing part 31 outputs a second signal to the processor 30; after the processor 30 receives the second signal, the driving part 41 is controlled to start, and the pushing part 42 moves towards the outside of the parent seat 10 until the first magnetic attraction part 431 and the second magnetic attraction part 21 are in contact, and when the sensing part 31 detects that the magnetic attraction force is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the magnetic connection is very firm, at which time the sensing part 31 outputs a third signal to the processor 30, and after the processor 30 receives the third signal, the driving part 41 is controlled to start to move the pushing part 42 towards the inside of the parent seat 10 to recover the child mobile power supply 20.

[0044] In other embodiments, the pushing mechanism 40 includes a multi-axis robot hand, which has multiple degrees of freedom and can achieve accurate movement in a complex three-dimensional space.

[0045] All technical features in the embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0046] In summary: the intelligent charging station, by introducing intelligent elements, interactive screen 12 and processor 30, users can more intuitively and conveniently operate the charging station; not only simplifies the interaction process between the user and the device, but also improves the user's experience; the pushing mechanism 40 allows the child mobile power supply 20 to partially extend into the containing space 11 as needed, increasing the flexibility and convenience of users in obtaining and returning the child mobile power supply 20.

[0047] The above embodiment is a preferred implementation scheme of the present application, in addition to this, the present application can be implemented in other ways, and any obvious replacement without departing from the technical scheme concept is within the protection scope of the present application.
