Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0023] In existing technologies, traditional AGV charging methods typically require manual intervention, which is not only inefficient but can also cause equipment wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging. This embodiment provides the following solution:

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an AGV charging triggering device, including a telescopic part 1 and a fixed part 2. The fixed part 2 includes a telescopic mechanism 21 and a guide shaft 22. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 21 is connected to the telescopic part 1. A slider 23 is connected to the guide shaft 22 and is connected to the telescopic part 1. The telescopic part 1 includes a telescopic plate 11 and a brush block mounting plate 12. The brush block mounting plate 12 is connected to the telescopic plate 11 through an elastic member 13, and a brush block 121 is mounted on the brush block mounting plate 12. A contact switch 14 is mounted on the telescopic plate 11, and the contact end of the contact switch 14 is located between the telescopic plate 11 and the brush block mounting plate 12.

[0025] It should be noted that after receiving a working command, the telescopic mechanism 21 pushes the telescopic part 1 forward along the guide shaft 22. When the brush block 121 touches the brush plate at the vehicle end, the telescopic mechanism 21 continues to work and begins to compress the elastic component 13. It can be understood that the elastic component 13 plays a buffering role. When the brush block mounting plate 12 contacts the contact switch 14 after further compression, the control circuit cuts off the power to the electric push rod, the brush block 121 stops moving and begins to charge the vehicle end. When charging is complete, the control circuit issues a command, the telescopic mechanism 21 retracts to its initial state, and the working state ends.

[0026] In some embodiments, the contact switch 14 is a micro switch and the guide shaft 22 is an optical shaft, thereby increasing stability.

[0027] In some embodiments, the elastic member 13 includes a plurality of connecting posts 131 and a spring 132, with the spring 132 sleeved on the connecting posts 131. One end of the connecting post 131 is fixedly connected to the brush block mounting plate 12, and the other end of the connecting post 131 passes through the telescopic plate 11. The length of the spring 132 is greater than the distance between the contact end of the contact switch 14 and the telescopic plate 11.

[0028] In some embodiments, the number of connecting posts 131 is four, located at the four corners of the brush block mounting plate 12, thereby increasing the stability of the brush block mounting plate 12 during compression.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fixing part 2 further includes a fixing housing 24, a guide shaft 22 is mounted above the fixing housing 24, and a telescopic mechanism 21 is mounted below the fixing housing 24.

[0030] In some embodiments, guide shaft mounting seats 25 are provided at both ends of the upper part of the fixed housing 24, and both ends of the guide shaft 22 are respectively mounted on the guide shaft mounting seats 25.

[0031] In some embodiments, the top of the guide shaft mounting base 25 is provided with a cable carrier platform 26, and a cable carrier 261 is provided on the cable carrier platform 26. A cable can be installed in the cable carrier 261 to ensure that the cable connected to the telescopic part 1 will not be broken during the movement.

[0032] In some embodiments, a fixed end connector 241 is provided at the lower end of the fixed housing 24, and a telescopic end connector 111 is provided on the telescopic plate 11. The fixed end of the telescopic mechanism 21 is connected to the fixed end connector 241, and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 21 is connected to the telescopic end connector 111.

[0033] In some embodiments, the telescopic mechanism 21 employs an electric actuator, which, through the cooperation of a motor and a reducer, can precisely adjust the moving speed and position.

[0034] In some embodiments, limit switches 242 are respectively provided at both ends of the upper part of the fixed housing 24. It should be noted that when the telescopic part 1 is moving, after receiving the working command, the telescopic mechanism 21 of the slider 23 pushes the telescopic part 1 forward along the guide shaft 22. When the brush block 121 touches the brush plate at the vehicle end, the telescopic mechanism 21 continues to work and begins to compress the elastic component 13. When the slider 23 touches the limit switch 242, the control circuit will also cut off the power to the electric push rod. At this time, it indicates that the electric push rod has reached its travel limit, the brush block 121 stops moving and begins to charge the vehicle end. When charging is completed, the control circuit gives a command, the telescopic mechanism 21 retracts to the initial state, and when the slider 23 touches the limit switch 242, the control circuit cuts off the power to the electric push rod.

[0035] In some embodiments, the telescopic part 1 includes a telescopic housing 15, which is connected to the telescopic plate 11. Reinforcing strips 151 are connected to both sides of the telescopic housing 15, and one end of the reinforcing strip 151 is connected to the slider 23, thereby increasing the stability of the telescopic part 1 during telescopic movement.

[0036] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model provide an AGV charging triggering device. After the brush block is pushed to touch the brush plate by the electric push rod, a micro switch is triggered, thereby automatically triggering the AGV charging mechanism, avoiding manual intervention, improving charging efficiency and equipment durability.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and all such changes or substitutions should be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are meant to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
