Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive charging technology, specifically relating to an automatic docking gun holder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the market typically involves staff operating a transport vehicle carrying the battery to the customer's parking space, where staff plug in the charging gun to charge the car, and after charging is complete, staff remove the charging gun and operate the transport vehicle to remove the battery. Staff are involved in every step of the process, which requires high labor costs.

[0003] To reduce labor costs and improve efficiency, we now use unmanned automatic charging for vehicles. After a customer places an order at the fixed gun rack, the customer gets out of the vehicle and plugs it in. Then, the AMR (Automatic Mobile Recycling Vehicle) carries the energy vehicle to the corresponding gun rack. Once the position is determined, the AMR lowers the electrical plug of the energy vehicle and automatically connects it with the electrical plug of the gun rack, automatically charging the vehicle. After the order is completed, the AMR carries the energy vehicle to the next workstation.

[0004] When the AMR vehicle reaches the gun holder position, it autonomously identifies the gun holder position using its own radar recognition features and docks with the gun holder at the accurate position. The docking of electrical plugs requires accuracy and stability. When the light is insufficient, the AMR vehicle has difficulty identifying the gun holder, which may cause the energy vehicle to fail to dock with the gun holder, affecting the charging efficiency of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic docking gun holder to solve the technical problem that insufficient ambient light affects the AMR vehicle's ability to identify the gun holder when transporting an AMR vehicle to charge a car, thus preventing the car from docking with the gun holder. The invention aims to improve the accuracy of the AMR vehicle's identification of the gun holder by reflecting light through reflective stickers, thereby enabling the car to accurately dock with the gun holder and improve the car's charging efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic docking gun holder, comprising:

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions 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.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an automatic docking gun mount includes: a charging assembly 1 and a support mechanism 2.

[0035] The charging assembly 1 includes a vertically arranged support pole 3 and a charging gun 4. The charging gun 4 is detachably connected to the support pole 3. The charging gun 4 is used for charging the car. The charging gun 4 is placed on the support pole 3. The charging gun 4 is removed to charge the car. After charging is completed, the charging gun 4 is placed back on the support pole 3.

[0036] The support mechanism 2 includes a docking platform 5 and a docking component 6. The side wall of the docking platform 5 is connected to the charging gun 4. The docking component 6 is used to connect the energy vehicle. The energy vehicle charges through the charging gun 4 by passing electricity through the docking component 6. The top of the docking platform 5 is movably connected to the docking component 6. The docking component 6 can rotate in any direction relative to the docking platform 5. The docking component 6 can move in the front-back and left-right directions relative to the docking platform 5. Adjusting the position and angle of the docking component 6 makes it easier to dock with the energy vehicle.

[0037] To improve the accuracy of AMR vehicle identification, a through groove 51 is provided on the side wall of the docking platform 5. The through groove 51 is triangular prism-shaped, and a reflective sticker 52 is attached to the inclined surface of the through groove 51 to reflect light. The through groove 51 is located on the side of the docking platform 5 away from the charging gun 4, and the axis of the through groove 51 is set horizontally. The reflective sticker 52 is attached to the inclined surfaces on the left and right sides of the through groove 51. Light is reflected off the reflective sticker 52 and then emitted. Some light is reflected multiple times on the reflective sticker 52 before being emitted. The good reflection effect facilitates the identification of the AMR vehicle and thus accurately delivers the energy vehicle to the gun holder for docking with the docking component.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the support rod 3 is connected to the side wall of the docking platform 5 away from the through groove 51; the top end of the support rod 3 is provided with a placement rack 31, and both ends of the placement rack 31 are provided with placement grooves 32. The charging gun 4 is detachably placed in the placement groove 32. When the charging gun 4 is placed in the placement groove 32, it is taken out and inserted into the car for charging. After use, it is put back into the placement groove 32.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the docking assembly 6 includes a docking plug 61, a first sliding plate 63, and a second sliding plate 64; the bottom surface of the second sliding plate 64 is connected to the top of the docking platform 5, and the first sliding plate 63 and the docking plug 61 are sequentially disposed on the top of the second sliding plate 64; the docking plug 61 is electrically connected to the charging gun 4 via a power cord (not shown in the figure), and the docking plug 61 docks with the plug of the energy vehicle to allow power to enter the vehicle for charging via the charging gun 4; the docking plug 61 can move in the front-back and left-right directions via the first sliding plate 63 and the second sliding plate 64 to adjust its position for easy docking with the energy vehicle.

[0041] The first sliding plate 63 is slidably connected to the second sliding plate 64; a rotating plate 62 and a pad 621 are provided between the docking plug 61 and the first sliding plate 63. The top end of the rotating plate 62 is connected to the docking plug 61, and the bottom end of the rotating plate 62 is rotatably connected to the top end of the pad 621. The rotating plate 62 can rotate in any direction to drive the docking plug 61 to rotate and tilt so as to dock with the energy vehicle.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first slide rail 631 is provided inside the first sliding plate 63 along the length direction of the docking platform 5. The bottom end of the pad 621 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 631. The pad 621 drives the docking plug 61 to move along the length direction of the docking platform 5 on the first slide rail 631, thereby realizing the displacement of the docking plug 61 in this direction. A second slide rail 641 is provided inside the second sliding plate 64 along the width direction of the docking platform 5. The bottom end of the first sliding plate 63 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 641. The first sliding plate 63 drives the docking plug 61 to move along the width direction of the docking platform 5 on the second slide rail 641, thereby realizing the displacement of the docking plug 61 in this direction, thereby adjusting the position of the docking plug 61 to facilitate docking with the plug of the energy vehicle.

[0043] In this embodiment, a distance sensor is provided inside the docking plug 61. The distance sensor is electrically connected to a control center (not shown in the figure). The control center is electrically connected to the rotating plate 62, the pad 621, and the first sliding plate 63. The distance sensor sends the plug position signal of the energy vehicle back to the control center. The control center controls the rotating plate 62 to rotate, controls the pad 621 to slide on the first sliding plate 63, and controls the first sliding plate 63 to slide on the second sliding plate 64, so as to realize the adjustment of the position and angle of the docking plug 61 to facilitate docking with the energy vehicle.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] like Figures 1 to 2As shown in Embodiment 1, the bottom of the docking platform 5 is equipped with multiple rollers 53. These rollers 53 can rotate from a vertical to a horizontal direction. When the gun holder needs to be moved, pushing the gun holder will cause the rollers 53 to move it. After moving, the rollers 53 are rotated inwards to retract to a horizontal position, allowing the gun holder to be placed on the ground for easy docking with the energy vehicle and preventing the energy vehicle from sliding during docking. A horizontal anti-collision frame 7 is provided at the top of the support rod 3. The anti-collision frame 7 is located on the side of the support rod 3 away from the charging gun 4, preventing the gun holder from hitting walls or objects during movement and protecting the charging gun 4 from damage.

[0046] In summary, after the customer places an order by moving the car to the gun holder, the AMR cart transports the energy car to the docking station 5. Ambient light shines on the reflective sticker 52 and is reflected multiple times before being reflected back onto the AMR cart, improving the accuracy of AMR cart recognition. After the energy car arrives at the docking station 5, the docking plug 61 adjusts its displacement and angle according to the position of the energy car until the docking plug 61 aligns with the plug of the energy car. The docking plug 61 transmits the power of the energy car to the charging gun 4, which is then inserted into the car for charging. After charging is completed, the charging gun 4 is removed and placed in the placement slot 32. The AMR cart then transports the energy car to the next station for charging.
