Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent scheduling technology, and in particular to a master control intelligent device and an intelligent scheduling system. Background Technology

[0002] The operation of intelligent manufacturing tasks requires a large number of intelligent devices, such as automated guided vehicles, charging piles, robotic arms, and display walls, which work together. To achieve accurate coordination among these intelligent devices, scheduling equipment needs to be deployed to uniformly manage them.

[0003] In related technologies, a separate server is used as the scheduling device. Deploying the server requires building a data center and configuring power and communication networks for the data center (hereinafter referred to as the construction and configuration required for deploying the scheduling device as infrastructure). In order to reduce the impact of the data center on the operation site of intelligent manufacturing tasks (hereinafter referred to as the operation site), the data center usually needs to be built at a distance from the operation site. This results in a long communication distance between the data center and the operation site, which affects the communication strength and quality between the scheduling device and the intelligent device.

[0004] To compensate for the reduced communication strength and quality, a higher-performance and larger-scale communication network is needed for the data center. However, configuring such a network will increase costs and the setup time. Therefore, using a separate server as the scheduling device will increase infrastructure costs and time.

Detailed Implementation

[0066] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on this application are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0067] To more clearly illustrate the intelligent device provided in this application, the following will use an intelligent warehousing scenario as an example to demonstrate the application scenario of the intelligent device provided in this application. It is understood that the intelligent warehousing scenario described below is only one possible application scenario of the intelligent device provided in this application. In other possible embodiments, the intelligent device provided in this application can also be applied to other possible application scenarios, such as unmanned factories, intelligent order sorting, etc. The following examples do not limit this in any way.

[0068] In smart warehousing scenarios, a large number of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are needed to transport different goods to designated storage locations, retrieve goods from these locations as needed, and transport them to designated workstations. Additionally, these AGVs need to recharge at charging stations when their batteries are low. A lack of unified scheduling for these AGVs and charging stations can lead to the following problems:

[0069] Question 1: The paths of two automated guided vehicles (AGVs) conflicted, causing a collision between them.

[0070] Question 2: Incorrect charging sequence leads to reduced efficiency in material handling tasks.

[0071] For example, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) A and AGV B both need charging. AGV A has enough remaining battery power to complete one transport task, while AGV B does not. Due to a lack of unified scheduling, AGV A arrives at the charging station before AGV B, so the charging station charges AGV A first. When AGV B arrives later, it must wait for AGV A to finish charging before it can start charging. If a new transport task arises during this period, because AGV A is charging and AGV B has insufficient battery power, both AGVs cannot complete the task in a timely manner, resulting in reduced transport efficiency.

[0072] To address this, a separate server can be deployed as a scheduling device, enabling communication between the scheduling device and each automated guided vehicle (AGV) and charging station. This would allow for unified scheduling of all AGVs and charging stations, thus resolving issues 1 and 2 mentioned above. However, deploying a separate server requires assuming a server room and configuring a power supply for it, while establishing the communication connection necessitates configuring a communication network between the server room and the operational site.

[0073] However, the operation of smart warehousing takes place inside the warehouse, where space is extremely limited. Priority must be given to placing shelves and setting up pathways for mobile robots. Therefore, there is usually insufficient space inside the warehouse to accommodate a server room, meaning the server room must be located inside the warehouse. This results in a significant distance between the warehouse and the server room. Consequently, to ensure communication strength and quality between the scheduling equipment and each automated guided vehicle (AGV) and charging station, a high-performance, large-scale communication network needs to be established between the server room and the warehouse. This leads to high infrastructure costs and a long construction period, severely impacting the implementation cost and efficiency of smart warehousing solutions.

[0074] Based on this, this application provides a master control intelligent device. The master control intelligent device provided in this application can be any device with intelligent functions in any intelligent manufacturing or intelligent logistics scenario, and the intelligent manufacturing functions possessed by the device should be the functions required in that intelligent manufacturing or intelligent logistics scenario. For example, in the aforementioned intelligent warehousing scenario, the master control intelligent device provided in this application can be an automated guided vehicle or a charging pile; in the aforementioned unmanned factory scenario, the master control intelligent device provided in this application can be an intelligent assembly equipment or a production line; in the aforementioned intelligent order sorting scenario, the master control intelligent device provided in this application can be a display wall or a sorting workstation.

[0075] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shown is a first structural schematic of the smart device provided in this application, including:

[0076] Scheduling module 100, intelligent module 200, power supply 300.

[0077] Power supply 300 is used to power intelligent module 200 and scheduling module 100.

[0078] The scheduling module 100 includes a local communication interface and a remote communication interface. The scheduling module 100 communicates with the intelligent module 200 through the local communication interface and communicates remotely with at least one controlled intelligent device (not shown in the figure) through the remote communication interface.

[0079] The scheduling module 100 is used for intelligent scheduling of the intelligent module 200 and each controlled intelligent device.

[0080] The intelligent module 200 is used to cooperate with each controlled intelligent device to complete tasks, including intelligent manufacturing tasks and / or intelligent logistics tasks, and each controlled intelligent device is scheduled by the scheduling module 100.

[0081] The power supply 300 can obtain power by connecting to the mains power or by connecting to other energy storage devices.

[0082] In this context, "controlled intelligent device" refers to an intelligent device located in the same intelligent manufacturing or intelligent logistics scenario as the intelligent device provided in this application. Furthermore, if the master intelligent device is one of the intelligent devices requiring unified scheduling, then the controlled intelligent device comprises all other intelligent devices requiring unified scheduling. If the master intelligent device is not one of the intelligent devices requiring unified scheduling, then the controlled intelligent device comprises all intelligent devices requiring unified scheduling. For example, assuming there are 10 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) requiring unified scheduling in a smart warehousing scenario, if the master intelligent device provided in this application is a charging pile, then the controlled intelligent device comprises 10 of these AGVs. If the master intelligent device provided in this application is only one of these AGVs, then the controlled intelligent device comprises the remaining 9 AGVs.

[0083] Furthermore, the role played by the intelligent module 200 in completing intelligent manufacturing and / or intelligent logistics tasks should be consistent with that of the main control intelligent device provided in this application. For example, if the main control intelligent device provided in this application is an automated guided vehicle (AGV) in an intelligent warehousing scenario, then the intelligent module 200 should play the role of that AGV, that is, be responsible for transporting goods; or, for example, if the intelligent device provided in this application is a charging pile in an intelligent warehousing scenario, then the intelligent module 200 should play the role of a charging pile, that is, be responsible for charging the AGV.

[0084] By using the master control intelligent device provided in this application, the scheduling module 100 can be integrated into the master control intelligent device, enabling the scheduling module 100 to establish a communication connection with the intelligent module 200 through local communication and with the controlled intelligent device through remote communication. Since the intelligent module 200 can act as the master control intelligent device, and the controlled intelligent device and the master control intelligent device provided in this application constitute all the devices requiring unified scheduling in the intelligent manufacturing or intelligent logistics scenario, unified scheduling can be achieved through these connections after establishing connections with the intelligent module 200 and the controlled intelligent device. Furthermore, since the scheduling module 100 is integrated into the master control intelligent device, there is no need to build a server room for the scheduling module 100. Also, since the controlled intelligent device provided in this application is in the operating environment during the completion of intelligent manufacturing and / or intelligent logistics tasks, the communication distance between the scheduling module 100 and the controlled intelligent device is relatively short. Simultaneously, the communication between the scheduling module 100 and the intelligent module 200 is local communication, thus the communication distance is also relatively short. It is evident that unified scheduling can be achieved without building a data center or configuring a high-performance, large-scale communication network. Therefore, it avoids the increased costs and time required for building a data center and configuring a high-performance, large-scale communication network, thus effectively reducing the cost and time required for infrastructure construction.

[0085] Depending on the application scenario, the aforementioned local communication interface and remote communication interface can be different interfaces. For example, the local communication interface can be any of the following interfaces: RS485 interface, CAN (Controller Area Network) interface, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) interface, 4G interface, 5G interface, Ethernet port, and USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface; the remote communication interface can be any one or more of the following interfaces: 4G interface, 5G interface, and WiFi interface.

[0086] Furthermore, it is understood that in some possible embodiments, different controlled intelligent devices support different interfaces. To ensure that each controlled intelligent device can establish a connection with the scheduling module 100 through the remote communication interface, the following condition must be met: for any controlled intelligent device, the remote communication interface includes at least one interface it supports. For example, suppose there are three controlled intelligent devices, denoted as controlled intelligent device A, controlled intelligent device B, and controlled intelligent device C. Controlled intelligent device A supports a 4G interface, controlled intelligent device B supports both 4G and 5G interfaces, and controlled intelligent device C supports both 5G and WiFi interfaces. Then, the remote communication interface can consist of either a 4G interface and a 5G interface, or a 4G interface and a WiFi interface. However, the remote communication interface cannot consist of only a 5G interface and a WiFi interface, because in this case, the remote communication interface does not include the interface supported by controlled intelligent device A (i.e., the 4G interface).

[0087] The scheduling logic of the scheduling module 100 in this application is exactly the same as the scheduling logic of the scheduling equipment in the prior art. The execution logic of the intelligent module 200 in completing the intelligent manufacturing task and / or intelligent logistics task is also the same as the execution logic of the intelligent generating equipment in the prior art. Therefore, the following only takes the charging pile in the aforementioned warehousing scenario as the main control intelligent device provided in this application as an example to illustrate the scheduling logic and execution logic for the aforementioned problems 1 and 2. The principle is the same for other cases, so it will not be repeated.

[0088] Regarding question 1 above:

[0089] Each automated guided vehicle (AGV) (equivalent to the aforementioned controlled intelligent device) sends its planned path to the scheduling module 100 via a remote communication interface. The scheduling module 100 determines whether there are any AGVs with conflicting paths based on their paths. If the scheduling module 100 finds a path conflict between two AGVs, it replans a non-conflicting path for either AGV and sends the replanned path to that AGV via the remote communication interface, thereby controlling the AGV to run according to the replanned path.

[0090] Regarding question 2 above:

[0091] Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) A and AGV B send charging requests to the scheduling module 100 via remote communication interfaces when they require charging. Upon receiving these requests, the scheduling module 100 determines the charging priority for each vehicle. Since AGV B has a lower battery level than AGV A, its charging priority is higher. After confirming AGV B's priority, the scheduling module 100 sends a charging response to AGV B via the remote communication interface. Upon receiving the response, AGV B proceeds to the charging station and sends a start-charging request to the scheduling module 100 via the remote communication interface. Upon receiving this request, the scheduling module 100 sends a control command to the intelligent module 200 via its local communication interface, instructing the intelligent module 200 to begin charging AGV B. After the automated guided vehicle (AGV) B completes charging, the dispatch module 100 then dispatches AGV A to the charging station for charging via a remote communication interface. In this way, if a new transport task arises while AGV B is charging, AGV A can promptly complete the task. Conversely, if a new transport task arises after AGV B has finished charging but while AGV A is charging, AGV B can promptly complete the task, effectively improving the efficiency of transport tasks.

[0092] In another possible embodiment, upon receiving a charging response, the automated guided vehicle B moves to the charging station and directly sends a charging request to the intelligent module 200. Upon receiving the charging request, the intelligent module 200 begins charging the automated guided vehicle B. After the automated guided vehicle B has finished charging, the scheduling module 100 then uses a remote communication interface to schedule the automated guided vehicle A to move to the charging station for charging.

[0093] Since the process of scheduling the charging of automated guided vehicles A is the same as the process of scheduling the charging of automated guided vehicles B described above, it will not be repeated here. Furthermore, how the scheduling module 100 detects the completion of charging of automated guided vehicles B will be explained exemplarily below, and therefore will not be repeated here either.

[0094] Understandably, to fully avoid path conflicts, the scheduling module 100 needs to schedule based on the paths of all automated guided vehicles (AGVs) (hereinafter referred to as all paths). However, the paths planned by each AGV are often sent to the scheduling module 100 at different times. Therefore, the scheduling module 100 needs to cache the first received paths and then perform scheduling based on all paths after caching them. If the scheduling module 100 powers down before caching all paths, the cached paths will be lost. For ease of description, this power-down that causes the scheduling module 100 to lose cached information is referred to as an abnormal power-down. An abnormal power-down will prevent the scheduling module 100 from accurately scheduling based on all paths, thus reducing the reliability of the scheduling module 100. Similarly, in other application scenarios, it is clear that to improve the reliability of the scheduling module 100, abnormal power-downs of the scheduling module 100 should be avoided as much as possible.

[0095] Based on this, in one possible embodiment provided in this application, the main control intelligent device is such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0096] The system includes a scheduling module 100, an intelligent module 200, a power supply 300, and an uninterruptible power supply 400.

[0097] Regarding the scheduling module 100, the intelligent module 200, the power supply 300, and the connection relationship between the three, as mentioned above... Figure 1 The examples shown are exactly the same, so they will not be repeated here. The following text only refers to... Figure 2 The newly added uninterruptible power supply 400 and the connection relationships involving the uninterruptible power supply 400 are explained.

[0098] The uninterruptible power supply 400 is electrically connected to the power supply 300 and the scheduling module 100, respectively.

[0099] The uninterruptible power supply 400 is used to store electrical energy when the power supply 300 is powered on and when the power supply 300 is powered off, and to use the stored electrical energy to power the scheduling module 100.

[0100] The maximum energy that the uninterruptible power supply 400 can store is defined as the maximum energy storage. The backup time required for the information in the backup cache of the scheduling module 100 for subsequent scheduling (such as the aforementioned path) is defined as the backup duration. Therefore, the following condition must be met: the maximum energy storage must be sufficient to supply the scheduling module 100 with the backup time. In other words, when the uninterruptible power supply 400 is fully charged, even if the power supply 300 fails, the uninterruptible power supply 400 can still provide sufficient energy to the scheduling module 100 to back up the information in its backup cache for subsequent scheduling. This reduces the possibility of information loss in the cache, effectively lowering the likelihood of abnormal power failure of the scheduling module 100, and thus improving the reliability of the scheduling module 100.

[0101] The structure of the uninterruptible power supply 400 will be illustrated below with two possible examples.

[0102] For the first example, please refer to... Figure 3a , Figure 3a In the example shown, the uninterruptible power supply 400 includes an input interface 401, an output interface 402, a battery 403, a detection component 404, and a charging circuit 405.

[0103] The input interface 401 is electrically connected to the battery 403, the detection component 404, the charging circuit 405, and the power supply 300. The detection component 404 is also electrically connected to the output interface 402, the battery 403, and the charging circuit 405. The output interface 402 is also electrically connected to the scheduling module 100.

[0104] The detection component 404 is used to detect whether the power supply 300 is powered on. If the power supply 300 is detected to be powered on, the inverter circuit 405 and the output interface 402 are turned on so that the inverter circuit 405 can supply power to the scheduling module 100. At the same time, the detection component 404 will also drive the battery 403 to store electrical energy.

[0105] If the power supply 300 is detected to be off, the battery 403 and the output interface 402 are connected, and the battery 403 is driven to start discharging, so that the battery 403 can use the stored electrical energy to supply power to the scheduling module 100.

[0106] For the second example, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3b , Figure 3b In the example shown, the uninterruptible power supply 400 includes an input interface 401, an output interface 402, a battery 403, a detection component 404, a charging circuit 405, and an alarm interface 406.

[0107] Regarding the input interface 401, output interface 402, battery 403, detection component 404, charging circuit 405, and the connection relationship between the five, as described above... Figure 3aThe examples shown are exactly the same, so they will not be repeated here. The following text only refers to... Figure 3b This document explains the newly added alarm interface 406 and the connection relationships involving alarm interface 406.

[0108] The alarm interface 406 is electrically connected to the detection component 404 and the scheduling module 100. In this example, when the detection component 404 detects that the power supply 300 has been powered off, it will send a power failure alarm to the scheduling module 100 through the alarm interface 406. After receiving the power failure alarm, the scheduling module 100 will start backing up the information in the cache.

[0109] Choose this Figure 3b As shown in the example, by setting up the alarm interface 406, the detection component 404 can notify the scheduling module 100 to back up the information in the cache after the power supply 300 is powered off. This eliminates the need for a separate component in the scheduling module 100 to detect whether the power supply 300 is powered off, effectively reducing hardware costs. Furthermore, since the uninterruptible power supply 400 is closer to the power supply 300 than the scheduling module 100, the detection component 404 in the uninterruptible power supply 400 can detect the power supply 300 being powered off more quickly than the solution where the scheduling module 100 directly detects whether the power supply 300 is powered off. This allows the scheduling module 100 to start backing up more promptly, further reducing the possibility of information loss in the cache and thus improving the reliability of the scheduling module 100.

[0110] The alarm interface 406 can be any interface among RS485, CAN, WiFi, 4G, 5G, Ethernet, and USB. The alarm interface 406 can be connected to the local communication interface in the scheduling module 100 or to other interfaces in the scheduling module 100.

[0111] When interfacing with the local communication interface in the scheduling module 100, the alarm interface 406 should be the same type of interface as the local communication interface. For example, both the alarm interface 406 and the local communication interface are RS485 interfaces. Furthermore, the local communication interface that interfaces with the alarm interface 406 is designated as the first local communication interface, and the local communication interface used to establish the connection with the intelligent module 200 is designated as the second local communication interface. The first local communication interface and the second local communication interface can be the same interface or different interfaces.

[0112] The structure of the uninterruptible power supply 400 has been described above. The structure of the intelligent module 200 will now be described below. As previously explained, the intelligent module 200 plays different roles in different scenarios, and its corresponding structure will also differ. For ease of description, the following description will only use the aforementioned intelligent warehousing scenario as an example to illustrate the structure of the intelligent module 200. See [link to documentation]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 The diagram shown is another structural schematic of the main control intelligent device provided in this application, including:

[0113] Regarding the scheduling module 100, the intelligent module 200, and the power supply 300, the intelligent module 200 includes a control component 210 and a charging component 220.

[0114] Regarding the scheduling module 100, the power supply 300, and their connection relationship, as described above... Figure 1 The examples shown are exactly the same, so they will not be repeated here. The following text only refers to... Figure 4 The control component 210 and charging component 220 in the refined intelligent module 200 and their connection relationship are explained.

[0115] The charging component 220 is connected to the control component 210 and the power supply 300, respectively.

[0116] The control component 210 is connected to the scheduling module 100 via a local communication interface and is used to control the charging component. How this control is implemented will be illustrated below and will not be repeated here.

[0117] When the main control intelligent device is a charging pile, the charging component 220 is used to connect to the automated guided vehicle (i.e., the controlled intelligent device) and charge the connected automated guided vehicle.

[0118] When the main intelligent device is an automated guided vehicle, the charging component 220 is used to connect to the charging pile (i.e., the controlled intelligent device). The power supply 300 stores electrical energy when the charging component is connected to the charging pile.

[0119] In this embodiment, since the control component 210 controls the charging component 220, the scheduling module 100 does not need to directly control the charging process of the charging component 220, but only needs to schedule the automatic guided transport vehicle to dock with the charging pile, which effectively reduces the load pressure on the scheduling device 100.

[0120] The following example, using the main intelligent device as a charging pile and the controlled intelligent device as an automated guided vehicle, will illustrate how the control component 210 controls the charging component 220 for charging.

[0121] Understandably, since the charging component 220 needs to interface with the automated guided vehicle, it usually needs to be partially or completely exposed to the outside of the main control intelligent device. This also makes it easy for other external devices and personnel to come into contact with the charging component 220. To ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel, the exposed part needs to be kept in a powered-off state when not charging. However, to enable the charging of the automated guided vehicle, the exposed part needs to be kept in a powered-on state when charging.

[0122] Therefore, a device / module / component is needed to control the switching between power-on and power-off states of the charging component 220 based on whether it is connected to the automated guided vehicle. The control component 210 can, when the charging component 220 is connected to the automated guided vehicle, connect the charging component 220 to the power supply 300 to power on the charging component, naturally powering on any externally exposed parts; and after charging is complete, disconnect the charging component 220 from the power supply 300 to power off the charging component, naturally powering off any externally exposed parts.

[0123] In the case where the charging component 220 is partially exposed to the outside of the main control smart device, the exposed part is designated as the first part, and the part not exposed to the outside is designated as the second part. The second part can be kept in a conductive state with the power supply 300. The control component 210 can connect the first part and the second part to power on the first part when the charging component 220 is connected to the automated guided vehicle, and disconnect the charging component 220 from the power supply 300 to power off the first part after charging is completed.

[0124] The scheduling component 100 enables the control component 210 to be aware that the automated guided vehicle (AGV) has arrived at the charging station and connects with the charging component 220. How the scheduling component 100 performs the scheduling is explained in the aforementioned description and will not be repeated here. The following only explains how the control component 210 and the scheduling component 100 become aware that the AUV has completed charging:

[0125] In a first possible embodiment, after the automated guided vehicle (AGV) completes charging, it sends a charging completion notification to the control component 210. Upon receiving the charging completion notification, the control component 210 is aware that the AGV has completed charging and notifies the scheduling component 100 of the charging completion via its local communication interface. This embodiment eliminates the need for the scheduling module 100 to receive the charging completion notification, effectively reducing the bandwidth pressure on the scheduling module 100.

[0126] In a second possible embodiment, after the automated guided vehicle completes charging, it sends a charging completion notification to the scheduling module 100. Upon receiving the notification that charging is complete, the scheduling module 100 notifies the control component 210 so that the control component 210 is aware that the automated guided vehicle has completed charging.

[0127] In a third possible embodiment, after the automated guided vehicle completes charging, it sends a charging completion notification to the scheduling module 100 and the control component 210, respectively, so that the scheduling module 100 and the control component 210 are aware that charging is complete.

[0128] The first possible embodiment described above requires that the control component 210 be able to communicate with the automated guided vehicle, and for this purpose, the structure of the main control intelligent device can be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes:

[0129] Regarding the scheduling module 100, intelligent module 200, power supply 300, and communication module 500, the intelligent module 200 includes a control component 210 and a charging component 220.

[0130] Regarding the scheduling module 100, power supply 300, control component 210, and charging component 220, and the connection relationships between them, as described above... Figure 4 The examples shown are exactly the same, so they will not be repeated here. The following text only refers to... Figure 5 The newly added communication module 500 and its connection relationships are explained.

[0131] The communication module 500 is electrically connected to the control component 210 and is used to establish a remote communication connection between the control component 210 and each controlled intelligent device.

[0132] The communication module 500 can establish a communication connection with the controlled smart device through any one or more of WiFi, 4G, and 5G. In the case of multiple controlled smart devices, the communication module 500 can establish a communication connection with different controlled smart devices through different methods.

[0133] Understandable, Figure 5 The example shown is only one possible way to achieve communication between the control component 210 and the automated guided vehicle. In other possible embodiments, Figure 5 The communication module 500 shown can also be integrated into the control component 210.

[0134] The structure of the intelligent module 200 has been illustrated above. Considering that the above description focuses on the connection method of the main control intelligent device provided in this application, to more clearly explain the main control intelligent device, the following description will focus on the arrangement of the modules / components. For ease of description, the following explanation will still only use the charging pile in the aforementioned intelligent warehousing scenario as an example of the main control intelligent device:

[0135] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a, Figure 8b The main control intelligent device provided in this application also includes a cabinet 2, which has multiple layers, and the aforementioned scheduling module 100, intelligent module 200 and power supply 300 are respectively arranged on these multiple layers.

[0136] Understandably, although Figure 6 Cabinet 2 consists of three layers, but Figure 6 This is just one possible example. In other possible examples, the number of layers in rack 2 could be 2, or it could be 4 or more.

[0137] exist Figure 6 In the example shown, the main control intelligent device includes: a scheduling module 100, a control component 210, a charging port 221, an AC-DC converter 222, a power supply 300, an uninterruptible power supply 400, a communication module 500, an auxiliary power supply 600, and a display module 700.

[0138] The charging port 221 and AC-DC converter 222 together form the charging assembly 220. The control assembly 210, charging port 221, and AC-DC converter 222 together form the intelligent module 200. The power supply 300 is an AC power supply. For details regarding the scheduling module 100, intelligent module 200, power supply 300, uninterruptible power supply 400, and communication module 500, please refer to the aforementioned descriptions, which will not be repeated here. The following description focuses only on the charging port 221, AC-DC converter 222, auxiliary power supply 600, and display module 700.

[0139] For a clearer explanation of the auxiliary power supply 600 and display module 700, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 for Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the main control intelligent device shown below includes:

[0140] The auxiliary power supply 600 is connected to the mains power supply 300, the display module 700, and the control component 210; the display module 700 is connected to the control component 210; the AC-DC converter 222 is connected to the charging port 221, the control component 210, and the mains power supply 300. The scheduling module 100, the uninterruptible power supply 400, and the communication module 500, and their connections, have already been explained above and will not be repeated here.

[0141] The control component 210 is specifically used to send control signals to the AC-DC converter 222 to control the AC-DC converter 222.

[0142] The AC-DC converter 222 is used to supply DC power to the charging port 221 under the control of the control component 210 and the AC power supplied by the power supply 300. The AC-DC converter 222 can be connected to the control component 210 via RS485 or CAN.

[0143] The charging port 221 is used to connect to the automated guided vehicle and charge the connected automated guided vehicle under the DC power supplied by the AC-DC converter 222.

[0144] The auxiliary power supply 600 is used to supply DC power to the control component 210 and the display module 700 under the AC power supplied by the power supply 300.

[0145] The display module 700 is used to display information under the control of the control component 210. The content displayed by the display module 700 can vary according to user needs, including but not limited to charging animations, the temperatures of various modules / components within the charging pile, and the amount of electricity stored in the uninterruptible power supply 400. The display module 700 can be connected to the control component 210 via any of the following methods: RS485, RS422, RS232, IO, or CAN.

[0146] Please see again Figure 6 , Figure 6 The display module 700 shown includes a display screen 710 and indicator lights 720. However... Figure 6 The illustration shown is merely one possible example. In other possible embodiments, the display module 700 may include only one of the display screen 710, the digital tube, and the indicator light 720. For example, if only the temperature of each module / component within the charging pile needs to be displayed, the display module 700 may include only the display screen 710 or the digital tube. The display module 700 may also not include either the display screen 710 or the indicator light 720; for example, the display module 700 may include only the display screen 710 and the digital tube, or only the digital tube and the indicator light 720. Of course, the display module 700 may also include the display screen 710, the digital tube, and the indicator light 720 simultaneously.

[0147] For situations where it is necessary to display both the charging animation and the temperature of each module / component within the charging pile, the display module 700 can include both a display screen 710 and a digital tube 720. The display screen 710 displays the charging animation, and the digital tube 720 displays the temperature.

[0148] Figure 6 In the example shown, by adding a display module 700, the main control smart device can display information to the user, making it easier for the user to understand the status of the main control smart device.

[0149] Furthermore, due to Figure 6The example shown is only one possible one, therefore although Figure 6 The device includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 400, a communication module 500, an auxiliary power supply 600, and a display module 700. However, in other possible embodiments, the main control intelligent device may include only a portion of these four components. For example, in one possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device includes the UPS 400 but does not include the communication module 500, the auxiliary power supply 600, or the display module 700; in another possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device includes the communication module 500 and the auxiliary power supply 600 but does not include the UPS 400 and the display module 700; and in yet another possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device includes the UPS 400 and the display module 700 but does not include the communication module 500 and the auxiliary power supply 600.

[0150] For cases excluding the auxiliary power supply 600 but including the display module 700, the display module 700 can be directly powered by the power supply 300, or as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it is powered by AC power supplied by AC-DC converter 222. Figure 10 The example shown is the same as Figure 9 The only difference in the example shown is the removal of the auxiliary power supply 600. In this example, both the display module 700 and the control component 210 are powered by AC power supplied by the AC-DC converter 222. Figure 10 The example shown can also be considered as being in Figure 9 The example shown integrates an auxiliary power supply 600 into the AC-DC converter 222.

[0151] Similarly, although Figure 6 In the example shown, the power supply 300 is an AC power supply. However, in other possible examples, the power supply 300 can also be a DC power supply. In the case where the power supply 300 is a DC power supply, the AC-DC converter 222 is no longer needed for AC-DC conversion, and the power supply 300 can directly power the control component 210, the display module 700, and the charging port 221. For example,... Figure 11a As shown. Of course, if the power supply 300 is a DC power supply, it can also directly power only the charging port 221 and the auxiliary power supply 600, while the control component 210 and the display module 700 are powered by the auxiliary power supply 600. For example, as shown... Figure 11b As shown.

[0152] exist Figure 11bIn the example shown, the auxiliary power supply 600 no longer performs AC-DC conversion; it only serves to expand the interfaces of the power supply 300. For example, the power supply 300 may only have two interfaces, making it impossible to simultaneously connect the control component 210, the display module 700, and the charging port 221. However, the auxiliary power supply 600 has one input interface and at least two output interfaces. Therefore, the input interface and charging port 221 of the auxiliary power supply 600 can be connected to the power supply 300, and the control component 210 and the display module 700 can be connected to two different output interfaces on the auxiliary power supply 600.

[0153] The various listed above Figure 6 Examples other than these are for illustrative purposes only. Figure 6 The examples shown do not limit the main control intelligent device provided in this application, therefore, these examples will not be further explained below. Please refer back to Figure 6 The following will continue with... Figure 6 The following example illustrates this:

[0154] In this example, the control component 210, auxiliary power supply 600, and AC-DC converter 222 are located on the top layer of rack 2. The scheduling component 100 is located on the middle layer of rack 2, and the charging port 221, uninterruptible power supply 400, and power supply 300 are located on the bottom layer of rack 2, with the charging port 221 and uninterruptible power supply 400 extending along the depth direction of rack 2. Figure 6 The components (in the x-direction) are arranged sequentially on the bottom plate.

[0155] Please see again Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b ,in, Figure 7a , Figure 8a To hide Figure 6 The main control intelligent device, including the scheduling module 100, control component 210, charging port 221, AC-DC converter 222, uninterruptible power supply 400, communication module 500, and auxiliary power supply 600, is viewed from different perspectives. Figure 7b , Figure 8b To display Figure 6 Views from different angles with the outer cover of the central cabinet in use.

[0156] Depend on Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b It can be seen that, in Figure 6In the example shown, the bottom layer of the cabinet 2 is provided with a set of bottom exhaust vents, and the middle layer of the cabinet 2 is provided with a set of middle exhaust vents 32. The set of middle exhaust vents 32 includes a total of 3 exhaust vents, of which 2 middle exhaust vents 32 are located on one side, and the remaining 1 middle exhaust vent 32 is located on the other side. Furthermore, a set of top-level exhaust vents 33 is provided on the top layer, including two top-level exhaust vents 33 respectively located on both sides of the top layer. The two top-level exhaust vents 33 are of equal height, forming a horizontal air duct; the three middle-level exhaust vents 32 are of equal height, forming a horizontal air duct, while the two bottom-level exhaust vents have a height difference. The higher bottom-level exhaust vent (hereinafter referred to as the first bottom-level exhaust vent 311) is higher than the uninterruptible power supply 400 and higher than the charging port 221, while the lower bottom-level exhaust vent (hereinafter referred to as the second bottom-level exhaust vent 312) is lower than the uninterruptible power supply 400 and lower than the charging port 221, thus forming an oblique air duct, and this oblique air duct can pass through the top and bottom of the uninterruptible power supply 400 and the charging port 221.

[0157] Furthermore, rack 2 has heat insulation panels 4 installed between the top and middle layers, and between the middle and bottom layers, and fans are installed on the top, middle, and bottom layers respectively. The fans on the top and middle layers are located on their respective horizontal air ducts and are used to increase the airflow speed in the horizontal air ducts by exhausting air. The fans on the bottom layer are located on the angled air ducts and are used to increase the airflow speed in the angled air ducts by exhausting air. The heat insulation panels 4 in the application can be any material with heat insulation function, and there is no limitation on the specific material.

[0158] By setting up the heat insulation plate 4, the heat exchange between the top layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer is effectively blocked, thereby preventing the heat emitted by the bottom layer charging port 221 and uninterruptible power supply 400 from affecting the normal operation of the scheduling module 100; it also prevents the heat emitted by the middle layer scheduling module 100 from affecting the normal operation of the bottom layer charging port 221 and uninterruptible power supply 400, the upper layer control component 210, AC-DC converter 222, auxiliary power supply 600, the top layer display module 700 on the outside of the top plate and the communication module 500.

[0159] The aforementioned horizontal and oblique air ducts are formed by three sets of exhaust holes. The horizontal air duct serves as the middle layer for cooling the scheduling component 100 and the top layer for cooling the AC-DC converter 222, while the oblique air duct serves as the bottom layer for cooling the charging port 221 and the uninterruptible power supply 400. Furthermore, because the oblique air duct passes through the top and bottom of the uninterruptible power supply 400 and the charging port 221, it allows for a larger contact area with these components, thus improving heat dissipation. Additionally, by installing fans 5 in both the horizontal and oblique air ducts to enhance airflow within the ducts, heat dissipation can be further improved.

[0160] certainly, Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b The airflow design shown is only one possible heat dissipation design. In other possible embodiments, the number and position of the exhaust vents and fans 5 can be different. Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b Different approaches can be taken, for example, an additional set of exhaust vents can be added to both sides of the top layer; for another example, the height of the first bottom-layer exhaust vent 311 can be lowered to the same height as the second bottom-layer exhaust vent 312, or the height of the second bottom-layer exhaust vent 312 can be raised to the same height as the first bottom-layer exhaust vent 311; for yet another example, fans 5 can be installed only on the angled air ducts, without installing fans 5 on the horizontal air ducts, or fans 5 can be omitted entirely. Furthermore, the fans 5 on the angled air ducts can be as follows: Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b The exhaust vent 311 on the first bottom layer is shown, but it can also be located at the exhaust vent 312 on the second bottom layer.

[0161] The above text combined Figure 7a , Figure 7b , Figure 8a , Figure 8b right Figure 6 The examples shown, as well as other possible examples, are provided as illustrative examples. It is understood that these examples are merely a few possible examples of the main control smart device provided in this application being a charging pile. Without loss of generality, in the case where the main control smart device is a charging pile, the smart module 200 includes a control component 210 and a charging component 220.

[0162] In one possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device further includes a multi-layer cabinet 2, and the charging port 221 of the charging component 220 is located at the bottom layer of the cabinet 2.

[0163] The layer on which the scheduling module 100 is set is called the scheduling layer. The scheduling layer is not the bottom layer, and a heat insulation plate 4 is set between the scheduling layer and the bottom layer.

[0164] The side panels on both sides of the cabinet have a set of exhaust vents at the bottom and the control layer, respectively.

[0167] The control component 210 is located on the top layer of the cabinet 2; heat insulation panels 4 are installed between the top layer and the scheduling layer, and between the middle layer and the bottom layer.

[0168] The side panels on both sides of rack 2 have a set of exhaust vents at the bottom, middle and top layers respectively.

[0169] Display module 700 is located on the outside of the top panel of cabinet 2.

[0170] In another possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device further includes an uninterruptible power supply 400; the uninterruptible power supply 400 is electrically connected to the power supply 300 and the scheduling module 100 respectively, and stores electrical energy when the power supply 300 is powered on; after the power supply 300 is powered off, it uses the stored electrical energy to power the scheduling module 100.

[0171] The uninterruptible power supply 400 and the charging port 221 are arranged sequentially along the depth direction of the cabinet 2 on the bottom plate of the bottom layer.

[0172] The side panels on both sides of the cabinet 2 have a set of ventilation holes at the bottom, consisting of a first bottom ventilation hole 311 and a second bottom ventilation hole 312. The first bottom ventilation hole 311 is located above the uninterruptible power supply 400 and the charging port 221, and the second bottom ventilation hole 312 is located below the uninterruptible power supply 400 and the charging port 221.

[0173] In one possible embodiment, the main control intelligent device further includes an uninterruptible power supply 400, a communication module 500, an auxiliary power supply 600, and a display module 700.

[0174] The uninterruptible power supply 400 is electrically connected to the power supply 300 and the scheduling module 100 respectively. When the power supply 300 is powered on, it stores electrical energy; when the power supply 300 is powered off, it uses the stored electrical energy to power the scheduling module 100.

[0175] The charging component 220 includes a charging port 221 and an AC-DC converter 222;

[0176] The AC-DC converter 222 is connected to the charging port 221, the control component 210, and the power supply 300, respectively.

[0177] The control component 210 is specifically used to send control signals to the AC-DC converter 222 to control the AC-DC converter 222;

[0178] AC-DC converter 222 is used to supply DC power to charging port 221 under the control of control component 210 and AC power supplied by power supply 300.

[0179] The auxiliary power supply 600 is connected to the power supply 300, the display module 700, and the control component 210 respectively, and is used to supply DC power to the control component 210 and the display module 700 under the AC power supplied by the power supply 300.

[0180] The display module 700 is connected to the control component 210 and is used to display information under the control of the control component 210.

[0181] The communication module 500 is connected to the control component 210 and is used to establish a remote communication connection between the control component 210 and each controlled intelligent device.

[0182] Corresponding to the aforementioned main control intelligent device, this application also provides an intelligent scheduling system, such as... Figure 12 As shown, it includes:
