Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pneumatic quick-connect technology, and particularly relates to a coupler device for pneumatic quick-connect wireless communication and power supply. Background Technology

[0002] The existing pneumatic quick-connect module consists of a drive unit cylinder, a floating mechanism, a pneumatic quick-connect probe side, and a pneumatic quick-connect copper pillar side. The cylinder pushes the probe-side module and the copper pillar-side module to connect or separate. When connected, the probe and copper pillar connect, enabling signal and power connection on both sides; when separated, the probe and copper pillar detach, disconnecting signal and power on both sides. The structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] Combination Figure 1 During long-term use, the probe and copper pillar will wear down continuously, which may lead to poor contact, arcing, or even short circuit. Secondly, the harsh environment of the installation location, with moisture and dust in the vicinity, will corrode the probe and copper pillar, which will also lead to poor circuit connection. Thirdly, the probe may break or be twisted after long-term use, all of which will cause circuit abnormalities. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a coupler device for pneumatic quick-connect wireless communication and power supply, avoiding circuit failures caused by pin corrosion, contamination, or twisting during pin connection; it achieves a fast, quiet, aesthetically pleasing, stable, and reliable connection method, thus solving the problems of the prior art.

[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A coupler device for air-electric quick-connect wireless communication and power supply includes a coupling module one and a coupling module two, which can be assembled with each other, and the assembled coupling module one and coupling module two can communicate wirelessly and supply power wirelessly.

[0007] Preferably, a positioning shaft is provided on the side of coupling module one near coupling module two, and a corresponding insertion hole is provided on coupling module two. The positioning shaft and the insertion hole can be inserted into each other, and the insertion hole and the positioning shaft are used for the assembly and positioning of coupling module one and coupling module two.

[0008] Preferably, coupling module one internally includes a wireless transmitting module, a wireless power supply transmitter, and controller one, with controller one electrically connected to the wireless transmitting module and the wireless power supply transmitter; coupling module two internally includes a wireless receiving module, a wireless power supply receiver, and controller two, with controller two electrically connected to the wireless receiving module and the wireless power supply receiver.

[0009] Preferably, wireless communication includes a wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module; wireless power supply includes a wireless power supply transmitter and a wireless power supply receiver.

[0010] Preferably, wireless communication uses 60GHz millimeter-wave radio frequency signals to achieve wireless communication transmission.

[0011] Preferably, wireless communication enables Ethernet data transmission at a data rate of 1Gbps.

[0012] Preferably, the coupling module one and coupling module two transmit power and real-time Ethernet data through an air gap: Gigabit Ethernet short-range non-contact connection; full-duplex transmission can even be transmitted through materials such as wood, glass and plastic.

[0013] Preferably, coupling module one and coupling module two communicate and are powered wirelessly, eliminating the need for pins and copper pillars when connecting them. The wireless transceiver circuit operates on a 60GHz unlicensed frequency band, providing more abundant bandwidth resources compared to the already congested 2.4GHz and 5GHz unlicensed frequency bands. This coupler, with its gigabit-level throughput, offers a service level that even the most advanced 100Mbps wireless products cannot achieve. The transmitting end of the wireless power supply section works as follows: DC power is converted into high-frequency AC current through an inverter (DC-to-high-frequency AC). The AC current then generates a magnetic field through the wireless power supply coil (at its resonant frequency) to achieve energy transmission (the magnetic field travels through space). The receiving end of the wireless power supply section works as follows: the magnetic field is converted into alternating current energy through a wireless receiving coil, and the AC current is rectified into DC (high-frequency AC-to-DC conversion), and then filtered by circuitry to form a stable DC output.

[0025] refer to Figure 2-5 A coupler device for pneumatic quick-connect wireless communication and power supply includes a coupling module 1 and a coupling module 2. The coupling modules 1 and 2 can be assembled together for wireless communication and power supply. A positioning shaft 3 is located on the side of the coupling module 1 closest to the coupling module 2, and a corresponding insertion hole 4 is located on the coupling module 2. The positioning shaft 3 and the insertion hole 4 can be interlocked, and the insertion hole 4 and positioning shaft 3 are used for the assembly and positioning of the coupling modules 1 and 2. Two positioning shafts 3 are provided, each with a matching insertion hole 4. The end of the positioning shaft 3 is tapered to facilitate insertion into the insertion hole 4, reducing alignment errors and increasing the alignment speed of the coupling modules 1 and 2. During coupler assembly, a drive cylinder moves the coupling module 1 closer to the coupling module 2, while the positioning shaft 3 inserts into the insertion hole 4, providing a quick limiting function and ensuring precise alignment of the coupling modules 1 and 2. The mating structure between the positioning shaft 3 and the socket 4 ensures that the coupling module 1 and the coupling module 2 maintain the optimal alignment distance and angle of the 60GHz antenna during assembly.

[0026] Coupler module 1 contains a wireless transmitting module, a wireless power supply transmitter, and controller 1, which are electrically connected to the wireless transmitting module and the wireless power supply transmitter. Coupler module 2 contains a wireless receiving module, a wireless power supply receiver, and controller 2, which are electrically connected to the wireless receiving module and the wireless power supply receiver.

[0027] Wireless communication includes a wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module; wireless power supply includes a wireless power supply transmitter and a wireless power supply receiver.

[0028] Wireless communication utilizes 60GHz millimeter-wave radio frequency signals for wireless transmission. It achieves Ethernet data transmission at a data rate of 1Gbps. The wireless transmitting module includes an oscillator, modulator, amplifier, and antenna, converting the signal into electromagnetic waves and radiating them. The wireless receiving module receives these electromagnetic waves through the antenna, amplifies and demodulates them to reconstruct the information, and then decodes and outputs it.

[0029] The coupling module 1 and coupling module 2 transmit power and real-time Ethernet data through an air gap: Gigabit Ethernet short-range non-contact connection; full-duplex transmission can even be transmitted through materials such as wood, glass and plastic.

[0030] Coupler module 1 and coupler module 2 communicate and are powered wirelessly, eliminating the need for pins and copper posts for connection. The wireless transceiver circuit operates on a 60GHz unlicensed frequency band, offering significantly more bandwidth compared to the already congested 2.4GHz and 5GHz unlicensed bands. This coupler, with its gigabit-level throughput, provides a level of service that even some of the most advanced 100Mbps wireless products cannot achieve. The wireless power supply scheme utilizes electromagnetic induction to achieve contactless power transmission. The transmitting end of the wireless power supply section works as follows: DC power is converted into high-frequency AC current (DC-to-high-frequency AC) via an inverter. The AC current then generates a magnetic field through the wireless power supply coil (at its resonant frequency) to transmit energy (the magnetic field travels through space). The receiving end of the wireless power supply section converts the magnetic field into alternating current energy via a wireless receiving coil, and then rectifies the AC current into DC power (high-frequency AC-to-DC conversion). Finally, it is filtered and processed by circuitry to form a stable DC output. Compared to traditional probe-and-copper-post mechanical connections, this design significantly extends the lifespan of the power supply.

[0031] As a viable solution in the field of welding robots for automotive manufacturing: During welding station transitions, the robot's end effector needs rapid replacement. Traditional pneumatic quick-connect couplings are plugged and unplugged an average of 200-300 times per day. Using this wireless coupler completely avoids contact wear issues. Replacement time is reduced from the traditional 45 seconds to 8 seconds; the failure rate is reduced from 2-3 times per month to zero; and maintenance costs are reduced by 70%.

[0032] In the food packaging manufacturing industry: Traditional pins are prone to corrosion in humid and dusty environments. This wireless solution can ensure operation even at relative humidity of 85% and dust concentration of 15mg / m³. 3 Stable operation in the environment.

[0033] Surgical robot module replacement: Energy and signal transmission can be completed in a sterile environment without physical contact, reducing the risk of infection.

[0034] Mobile medical device charging: Automatic alignment charging is achieved through a coupler, with a charging efficiency of 92%, which is 8% higher than that of traditional contact charging.

[0035] Explosion-proof environment: Eliminates the risk of contact sparks in flammable and explosive environments such as petrochemical plants, and meets ATEX explosion-proof certification requirements.

[0036] Underwater equipment: IP68 protection rating, capable of continuous operation for 2000 hours without failure in water depths of 3 meters.

[0037] Wireless power transmission efficiency: 85% with a 5mm air gap and 78% with a 10mm air gap; Power fluctuation: Output voltage fluctuation <±1.5% when the load changes from 20% to 100%; Thermal performance: Temperature rise <15K after 8 hours of continuous operation (ambient temperature 25℃).

[0038] Environmental testing: high and low temperature cycling (-40℃~85℃, 100 cycles): normal function, no deformation of mechanical structure; salt spray test (96 hours): no corrosion of metal parts, insulation resistance >100MΩ; dust test: no clogging after 500 hours of continuous operation in ISO12103-1 A2 fine dust environment.

[0039] Electromagnetic compatibility testing: Radiated emissions: 6dB below the EN 55032 Class B limit; Immunity: No performance degradation in a 10V / m radio frequency field; Electrostatic discharge: No damage from contact discharge ±8kV.
