An isolation plate 302 is engaged inside the isolation groove 301. A pusher 308 is movably installed inside the groove 5, with its front end connected to the magnetic socket 6. A movable groove 311 is provided at the lower end of the interior of the frame 1. A movable block 312 is movably installed inside the movable groove 311. A first sliding groove 314 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the movable block 312. A first slider 316 is movably installed inside the first sliding groove 314. A second guide rod 315 is fixedly installed at both ends.

The front end of the upper surface of the movable groove 311 is provided with a second slide groove 320. The second slider 321 is movably installed inside the second slide groove 320 and is parallel to the first slider 316. A second pull rope 323 is movably installed between the groove 5 and the second slide groove 320. The upper and lower ends of the second pull rope 323 are respectively connected to the push frame 308 and the second slider 321. The lower end of the rear side of the frame 1 is provided with a winding groove 304. A winding rod 307 is movably installed inside the winding groove 304. A first pull rope 303 is movably installed between the winding groove 304 and the isolation groove 301. The front end of the first pull rope 303 is connected to the isolation plate 302 and the rear end of the first pull rope 303 is wound around the outside of the rod body of the winding rod 307.

[0026] like Figure 4As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, first guide rods 309 are respectively installed on both sides of the inside of the groove 5. The rods of the first guide rods 309 are movably installed inside the push frame 308. First springs 310 are respectively sleeved on the front ends of the outer sides of the rods of the first guide rods 309. The front and rear ends of the first springs 310 are respectively connected to the groove 5 and the push frame 308. An electric push rod 318 is installed at the front end of the inside of the movable groove 311. The output end of the electric push rod 318 is movably installed inside the first slide groove 314 and connected to the first slider 316. A limit rod 319 is installed on the upper rear side of the first slider 316. A limit hole 3 is provided through the lower end of the inside of the second slider 321. 22. The limiting rod 319 is engaged with the limiting hole 322. The second guide rod 315 located inside the first slide groove 314 is fitted with a second spring 317 on its outer side. The front and rear ends of the second spring 317 are respectively in contact with the first slider 316 and the first slide groove 314. The rotating rod 305 is movably installed in the middle of the inside of the winding groove 304. The winding rod 307 is fitted with the outer side of the rotating rod 305. Gears 306 are installed at both ends of the rotating rod 305. The gears 306 are movably installed between the winding groove 304 and the movable groove 311. The upper surface of the movable block 312 is fitted with racks 313 at both ends. The racks 313 are meshed with the gears 306.

[0027] The robot receives signals from the infrared positioning sensor 4 located at the lower end of the front surface of frame 1, achieving precise positioning and moving towards the charging base. Simultaneously, when the infrared positioning sensor 4 detects the robot entering its range, frame 1 activates the electric push rod 318. The output end of the electric push rod 318 pushes the first slider 316 backward within the first groove 314. Then, the first slider 316 compresses the second spring 317, causing the second spring 317 to push the movable block 312 along the second guide rod 315, following the first slider 316. This allows the movable block 312 to first drive the rack 313, which in turn drives the gear 306 to rotate. The gear 306 then drives the rotating rod 305 and the winding rod 307 to wind up the first pull rope 303. This causes the first pull rope 303 to move the isolation plate 302 upward, opening the connecting groove 2. Then, when the movable block... When the rear end of 312 connects with the rear side of the inner side of the movable groove 311, the movable block 312 stops moving. At this time, as the electric push rod 318 continues to push, it pushes the first slider 316 to move along the first slide groove 314 and the second guide rod 315, while squeezing the second spring 317. Then, when the first slider 316 drives the limiting rod 319 to insert into the limiting hole 322, the first slider 316 can drive the second slider 321 to move backward, so that the second slider 321 pulls the second pull rope 323, so that the second pull rope 323 pulls the push frame 308 to move along the first guide rod 309, so that the push frame 308 squeezes the first spring 310 and pushes the magnetic socket 6 to move outward, so that the robot's charging plug engages with the magnetic socket 6 to realize the charging of the robot.

[0028] The electric push rod 318 serves as a power source, providing a stable pushing force to ensure that the magnetic socket 6 can extend accurately. It also controls the isolation plate 302 to move up and down and controls the connection groove 2 to open and seal.

[0029] The engagement of the limiting rod 319 and the limiting hole 322 is used to improve the connection stability between the first slider 316 and the second slider 321, so that the first slider 316 can stably push the second slider 321 to move backward;

[0030] The meshing transmission between the rack 313 and the gear 306 converts the linear motion of the movable block 312 into the rotational motion of the rotating rod 305, realizing the transmission and conversion of power, enabling the isolation plate 302 to move in time, and making room for the extension of the magnetic socket 6.

[0031] The working principle of this intelligent robot automatic charging base:

[0032] In use, the robot first receives a signal from the infrared positioning sensor 4 at the lower end of the front surface of the frame 1 to achieve precise positioning and move towards the charging base. Simultaneously, when the infrared positioning sensor 4 detects the robot entering the range, the frame 1 activates the electric push rod 318. The output end of the electric push rod 318 pushes the first slider 316 backward within the first slide groove 314. Then, the first slider 316 compresses the second spring 317, causing the second spring 317 to push the movable block 312 along the second guide rod 315, following the first slider 316. This allows the movable block 312 to first drive the rack 313 to rotate the gear 306, which in turn drives the rotating rod 305 and the winding rod 307 to wind up the first pull rope 303. This causes the first pull rope 303 to move the isolation plate 302 upward, opening the connecting groove 2. Then, when... When the rear end of the movable block 312 connects with the rear side of the inner side of the movable groove 311, the movable block 312 stops moving. At this time, as the electric push rod 318 continues to push, it pushes the first slider 316 to move along the first slide groove 314 and the second guide rod 315, while squeezing the second spring 317. Then, when the first slider 316 drives the limiting rod 319 to insert into the limiting hole 322, the first slider 316 can drive the second slider 321 to move backward, so that the second slider 321 pulls the second pull rope 323, so that the second pull rope 323 pulls the push frame 308 to move along the first guide rod 309, so that the push frame 308 squeezes the first spring 310 and pushes the magnetic socket 6 to move outward, so that the robot's charging plug engages with the magnetic socket 6 to realize the charging of the robot.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
