[0002] Charging stations, including wireless charging stations, may experience docking failures during the process of a device (mobile robot) approaching and docking with a wireless charging station.

[0048] This utility model provides a charging pile, as shown in the following embodiment. Figures 1-4 The charging module includes a charging control module 1, a wireless charging transmitter module 2, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a planar movement module 3, a linear movement module 4, and a rotation module 5. The charging control module 1 is located at the fixed end of the planar movement module 3 or the movable end of the linear movement module 4. The wireless charging transmitter module 2 is located at the drive end of the rotation module 5 and is electrically connected to the charging control module 1. The rotation module 5 is located at the drive end of the planar movement module 3 and is used to drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to rotate around the Z-axis. The planar movement module 3 is located at the drive end of the linear movement module 4 and is used to drive the rotation module 5 and the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to move along the Z-axis and / or the X-axis. The linear movement module 4 is used to drive the planar movement module 3 to move along the Y-axis. The Z-axis is the height direction of the charging pile, i.e., the vertical direction of the charging pile; the X-axis is the width direction of the charging pile, i.e., the horizontal direction of the charging pile; and the Y-axis is the width direction of the charging pile, i.e., the front-back direction of the charging pile.

[0049] As an example, a charging station is used to charge devices (such as various indoor and outdoor mobile robots). Specifically, it includes a charging control module 1, a wireless charging transmitter module 2, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a planar movement module 3, a linear movement module 4, and a rotary module 5. During installation, the charging control module 1 is positioned at the fixed end of the planar movement module 3 or the movable end of the linear movement module 4. Thus, the charging control module 1 is mounted on the support frame 31 of the planar movement module 3, or on the moving block 44 of the linear movement module 4. The wireless charging transmitter module 2 is positioned at the drive end of the rotary module 5 and electrically connected to the charging control module 1. When the wireless receiving module of the device to be charged is aligned with the wireless charging transmitter module 2, the charging control module 1 can detect the position information of the device and control the drive mechanism accordingly, ensuring that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and the wireless charging receiving module of the device to be charged are directly aligned and in contact, thereby enabling wireless charging of the device. The rotating module 5 is positioned at the drive end of the planar moving module 3. By controlling the operation of the rotating module 5, the wireless charging transmitter module 2 can be rotated around the Z-axis. By controlling the operation of the planar moving module 3, the rotating module 5 and the wireless charging transmitter module 2 can be moved along the Z-axis and / or the X-axis. That is, the planar moving module 3 can move the rotating module 5 and the wireless charging transmitter module 2 along the Z-axis, or along the X-axis, or both along the X-axis and the Z-axis. The planar moving module 3 is positioned at the drive end of the linear moving module 4. By controlling the operation of the linear moving module 4, the planar moving module 3 can be moved along the Y-axis.

[0050] In this example, the planar movement module 3 can drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to move in the plane formed by the X and Z axes, adjusting its position in the vertical and horizontal directions so that it corresponds to the position of the wireless receiving module of the device to be charged. The linear movement module 4 can drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to move along the Y axis, adjusting its position in the front-back direction, and thus adjusting the distance between it and the wireless receiving module of the device to be charged. The rotation module 5 can drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to rotate around the Z axis, adjusting its orientation angle so that it can be aligned with the receiving module of the device to be charged at a suitable angle. Through the configuration of the drive mechanism, the position and angle of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 can be adaptively adjusted according to the position and angle of the receiving module, ensuring that they are directly aligned and in contact. This drive mechanism achieves high-precision actuation at low cost, adjusting the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in three directions and its docking angle with the device to be charged, thereby improving the docking success rate. This example charging station, through the combination of an adaptive adjustment structure and wireless charging, makes charging more convenient and faster, avoiding potential safety hazards associated with traditional charging methods. It offers high safety, automatic charging, and a wider range of applicable environments, not limited to indoors, but also suitable for outdoor use and extreme environments such as high temperature and humidity.

[0051] For example, when a mobile robot equipped with a wireless charging receiver module stops at a designated position in front of a charging pile and sends a charging request, the charging control module 1 of the charging pile tracks the specific logo on the vehicle and completes the matching. Then, it sends a command to control the drive mechanism to work, so that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 of the charging pile can complete adaptive alignment. This means that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 moves in the plane formed by the X and Z axes, rotates and shifts around the Z axis, and moves along the Y axis as a whole, so that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 is in the optimal position and distance that can be directly aligned with the wireless charging receiver module of the mobile robot, thus achieving fast, automatic and efficient charging.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 The drive mechanism also includes a housing 6, and a planar moving module 3 is disposed inside the housing 6; a window 61 is provided on the housing 6, and at least part of the rotating module 5 passes through the window 61 and is connected to the wireless charging transmitting module 2.

[0053] As an example, the drive mechanism also includes a housing 6, which provides protection for the modules within the drive mechanism, preventing damage and failure of the internal structure. Specifically, the planar moving module 3 is housed within the housing 6, which has a window 61. During installation, at least a portion of the rotating module 5 passes through the window 61 and is connected to the wireless charging transmitter module 2. This configuration allows the rotating module 5 to drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to rotate around the Z-axis, adjusting its orientation angle. This enables the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to align with the wireless charging receiver module of the device being charged at a suitable angle, based on the position of the receiver module.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The charging control module 1 includes a positioning module 11 and a control module 12. The positioning module 11 is set on the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and is used to detect the position information of the device to be charged. The control module 12 is set on the planar movement module 3 or the linear movement module 4 and is electrically connected to the positioning module 11 and the drive mechanism. It is used to control the operation of the drive mechanism according to the position information.

[0055] As an example, the charging control module 1 includes a positioning module 11 and a control module 12. During installation, the positioning module 11 is placed on the wireless charging transmitter module 2, and the control module 12 is placed on the planar movement module 3 or the linear movement module 4, electrically connected to the positioning module 11 and the drive mechanism. With this configuration, the positioning module 11 detects the position information of the device to be charged, and the control module 12 controls the drive mechanism to operate based on the position information, ensuring that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 is directly aligned with the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged, thereby enabling wireless charging of the device. For example, the positioning module 11 can be a monocular or binocular camera (a binocular camera can detect distance). By matching two monocular or binocular cameras with a specific logo on the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged, the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and the wireless charging receiver module are positioned at the optimal distance, improving charging efficiency. The monocular camera can be replaced with a ranging sensor, lidar, etc.

[0056] In one example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The charging control module 1 also includes several indicator lights 13. These indicator lights 13 are mounted on the housing 6 and can indicate the charging pile's different states. Different indicator lights 13 will illuminate or change color depending on the state of the charging pile. For example, different colors of indicator lights 13 can be set for different states such as charging pile being powered on and ready to charge, charging in progress, charging abnormality, and charging complete. In case of a charging abnormality, the charging pile can be repositioned to ensure accurate alignment between the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and the wireless charging receiver module of the device being charged. For example, by monitoring the charging power of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in real time, if it is detected that the charging power of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 is too low, the wireless charging transmitter module 2 can be returned to its original position. The positioning module 11 then re-identifies the position and distance of the wireless charging receiver module of the device being charged, and adjusts the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to re-align it with the wireless charging receiver module of the device being charged.

[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The planar moving module 3 includes a support frame 31, a first support member 32, a second support member 33, and two transmission components 34. The first support member 32 is movably mounted on the support frame 31 along the Z-axis, and the second support member 33 is movably mounted on the first support member 32 along the X-axis. The rotating module 5 is disposed on the second support member 33. The two transmission components 34 cooperate to drive the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, and / or, the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32.

[0058] As an example, the planar moving module 3 includes a support frame 31, a first support member 32, a second support member 33, and two transmission components 34. During installation, using the support frame 31 as a reference, the support frame 31 is mounted on the movable end of the linear moving module 4, i.e., the moving block 44 of the linear moving module 4. The wireless charging transmitter module 2 is mounted on the rotating module 5. The first support member 32 is movably mounted on the support frame 31 along the Z-axis, and the second support member 33 is movably mounted on the first support member 32 along the X-axis. The rotating module 5 is positioned on the second support member 33. The two transmission components 34 cooperate. The device can move only the first support member 32 along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, or only the second support member 33 along the X-axis on the first support member 32, or both the first support member 32 and the second support member 33 can be moved along the X-axis on the first support member 32. This allows the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to move in the plane formed by the X-axis and Z-axis, thereby adjusting the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions so that the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 corresponds to that of the wireless receiving module of the device to be charged.

[0059] Specifically, when one transmission component 34 is working and the other is stopped, it can both drive the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31 and drive the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32. When the two transmission components 34 rotate in the same direction, only the second support member 33 is driven to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32. When the two transmission components 34 rotate in opposite directions, only the first support member 32 is driven to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31. For example, when one transmission component 34 rotates counterclockwise and the other transmission component 34 stops, it drives both the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis in the positive direction on the support frame 31 and the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis in the positive direction on the first support member 32, and ΔZ=ΔX. For example, when one transmission component 34 rotates clockwise and the other transmission component 34 stops, it drives both the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis in the opposite direction on the support frame 31 and the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis in the opposite direction on the first support member 32, and ΔZ=ΔX. For example, when both transmission components 34 rotate clockwise simultaneously, only the second support member 33 is driven to move in the opposite direction along the X-axis on the first support member 32; for example, when both transmission components 34 rotate counterclockwise simultaneously, only the second support member 33 is driven to move in the positive direction along the X-axis on the first support member 32; for example, when one transmission component 34 rotates clockwise and the other transmission component 34 rotates counterclockwise, only the first support member 32 is driven to move in the opposite direction along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, and vice versa.

[0060] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Each transmission component 34 includes a transmission motor 341, a transmission wheel set 342, and a transmission belt 343; each transmission wheel set 342 is disposed on the support frame 31 and the first support member 32; each transmission belt 343 is fitted on a transmission wheel set 342, and the two ends of each transmission belt 343 are connected to the two ends of the second support member 33 arranged diagonally; each transmission motor 341 is connected to a transmission wheel set 342; the two transmission motors 341 cooperate to drive the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, and / or, the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32.

[0061] As an example, each transmission assembly 34 includes a transmission motor 341, a transmission wheel set 342, and a transmission belt 343. During installation, each transmission wheel set 342 is mounted on the support frame 31 and the first support member 32. Each transmission belt 343 is fitted onto a transmission wheel set 342, with both ends of each transmission belt 343 connected to the two diagonally opposite ends of the second support member 33. Each transmission motor 341 is connected to a transmission wheel set 342. With this configuration, if each transmission motor 341 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, it can drive the corresponding transmission belt 343 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. With the cooperation of the mechanism 341, it can move only the first support member 32 along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, or it can move only the second support member 33 along the X-axis on the first support member 32, or it can move both the first support member 32 along the Z-axis on the support frame 31 and the second support member 33 along the X-axis on the first support member 32. In this way, it can realize the planar movement of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in the X-axis and Z-axis, so as to adjust the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions, so that the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 corresponds to the position of the wireless receiving module of the device to be charged.

[0062] Specifically, each transmission wheel assembly 342 includes a first transmission wheel 3421, a second transmission wheel 3422, a third transmission wheel 3423, a fourth transmission wheel 3424, and a fifth transmission wheel 3425 arranged in parallel at intervals. The first transmission wheel 3421 and the fifth transmission wheel 3425 are rotatably mounted at the two ends of the first support member 32 along the diagonal. The second transmission wheel 3422, the third transmission wheel 3423, and the fourth transmission wheel 3424 are rotatably mounted on the support frame 31 in a triangular shape. The second transmission wheel 3422 and the third transmission wheel 3423 are arranged opposite each other along the Z-axis, and the fourth transmission wheel 3424 and the fifth transmission wheel 3425 are arranged opposite each other along the Z-axis. The third drive wheel 3423 in a drive wheel set 342 is located outside the first drive wheel 3421 in the same drive wheel set 342 and the fourth drive wheel 3424 in another drive wheel set 342; each drive belt 343 is sequentially mounted on the first drive wheel 3421, the second drive wheel 3422, the third drive wheel 3423, the fourth drive wheel 3424 and the fifth drive wheel 3425 of a drive wheel set 342; each drive motor 341 is connected to any one of the first drive wheel 3421, the second drive wheel 3422, the third drive wheel 3423, the fourth drive wheel 3424 and the fifth drive wheel 3425 of a drive wheel set 342. When one drive motor 341 is working and the other is stopped, it can drive the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, and also drive the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32. When the two drive components 34 rotate in the same direction, it only drives the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis on the first support member 32. When the two drive components 34 rotate in opposite directions, it only drives the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis on the support frame 31. For example, when one drive motor 341 rotates counterclockwise and the other drive motor 341 stops, it drives the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis in the positive direction on the support frame 31, and also drives the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis in the positive direction on the first support member 32, and ΔZ=ΔX. For example, when one drive motor 341 rotates clockwise and the other drive motor 341 stops, it drives the first support member 32 to move along the Z-axis in the opposite direction on the support frame 31, and also drives the second support member 33 to move along the X-axis in the opposite direction on the first support member 32, and ΔZ=ΔX. For example, when both drive motors 341 rotate clockwise simultaneously, they only drive the second support member 33 to move in the opposite direction along the X-axis on the first support member 32; for example, when both drive motors 341 rotate counterclockwise simultaneously, they only drive the second support member 33 to move in the positive direction along the X-axis on the first support member 32; for example, when one drive motor 341 rotates clockwise and the other drive motor 341 rotates counterclockwise, they only drive the first support member 32 to move in the opposite direction along the Z-axis on the support frame 31, and vice versa.Two drive motors 341 (e.g., geared motors) are fixed on the support frame 31 and linked by two drive belts 343, exerting force on both the X and Z axes. This reduces the load on the first support member 32 and the second support member 33 and optimizes high-speed motion performance. The two drive belts 343 form a bidirectional tension balance, which offsets the assembly error caused by inconsistent belt tension and reduces vibration during high-speed motion.

[0063] In one example, refer to Figure 5 The planar moving module 3 also includes a tensioning wheel 35, which is rotatably mounted on the support frame 31 at the intersection of the two transmission belts 343. This facilitates the adjustment of the tension of the two transmission belts 343 and improves the stability of the two transmission components 34.

[0064] In one example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The planar movement module 3 also includes two first track assemblies 36 and one second track assembly 37. During installation, the two first track assemblies 36 are spaced apart along the X-axis between the first support member 32 and the support frame 31.

[0066] As an example, the linear motion module 4 includes a base frame 41, two supports 42, a lead screw 43, a moving block 44, and a moving motor 45. During installation, the two supports 42 are spaced apart on the base frame 41 along the Y-axis. The lead screw 43 is rotatably mounted on the two supports 42, and the moving block 44 is movably mounted on the lead screw 43. The planar motion module 3 is disposed on the moving block 44, specifically mounted on the moving block 44 via a chassis. The moving motor 45 is connected to one end of the lead screw 43. With this configuration, by controlling the operation of the moving motor 45, the lead screw 43 can be rotated to drive the moving block 44 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 43, thereby driving the planar motion module 3 to move along the Y-axis. This enables the planar motion module 3, the rotating module 5, and the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to move along the Y-axis direction, thereby adjusting the position of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 in the front-to-back direction and thus adjusting the distance between the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged. The bottom frame 41 is a box structure, and a handle is provided on the bottom frame 41 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the linear motion module 4.

[0067] In one example, refer to Figure 8 The linear motion module 4 also includes at least one third track assembly 46, each third track assembly 46 being disposed between the moving block 44 and the base frame 41; specifically, each third track assembly 46 includes a third guide rail disposed along the Y-axis and a third slider matching the third guide rail, one of the third guide rail and the third slider being disposed on the moving block 44 and the other being disposed on the base frame 41; in this configuration, the third guide rail and the third slider cooperating with the third guide rail can provide guidance for the movement of the moving block 44, improving the stability and smoothness of the movement of the moving block 44.

[0068] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 9 The rotating module 5 includes a rotating motor 51 and at least one fixed plate 52; the first end of the at least one fixed plate 52 is fixed on the planar moving module 3, and the second end of the at least one fixed plate 52 is rotatably connected to the wireless charging transmitter module 2; the rotating motor 51 is mounted on at least one fixed plate 52 and is used to drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to rotate around the Z-axis.

[0069] As an example, the rotating module 5 includes a rotating motor 51 and at least one fixed plate 52. During installation, the first end of at least one fixed plate 52 is fixed to the planar moving module 3, specifically mounted on the second support 33, and the second end of at least one fixed plate 52 is rotatably connected to the wireless charging transmitter module 2. The rotating motor 51 is mounted on at least one fixed plate 52. With this configuration, the rotating motor 51 can directly drive the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to rotate around the Z-axis to adjust the orientation angle of the wireless charging transmitter module 2, thereby allowing the wireless charging transmitter module 2 to be aligned with the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged at a suitable angle according to the position of the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged. Through the configuration of the drive mechanism, the position and angle of the wireless charging transmitter module 2 can be adaptively adjusted according to the position and angle of the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged, so that the wireless charging transmitter module 2 and the wireless charging receiver module of the device to be charged are directly aligned and fitted, making the docking process between the charging pile and the device to be charged simple and highly accurate. The rotary motor 51 is directly driven to the wireless charging transmitter module 2, eliminating the need for transmission components (such as gears, belts, and chains) in traditional mechanical structures. This allows for efficient energy transfer, reduced energy loss, and lower operating costs. It also features high-precision control, fast response, low noise and vibration, smooth operation, simplified structure, low maintenance costs, and improved reliability and lifespan. Two fixing plates 52 are spaced apart along the Z-axis at both ends of the second support member 33, with the rotary motor 51 mounted on one of these fixing plates.

[0070] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 9 The wireless charging transmitter module 2 includes a wireless charging board 21 and at least one connecting board 22; the first end of each connecting board 22 is connected to the rotating module 5, and the second end of each connecting board 22 is connected to the wireless charging board 21.

[0071] As an example, the wireless charging transmitter module 2 includes a wireless charging plate 21 and at least one connecting plate 22. During installation, the first end of each connecting plate 22 is connected to the rotating module 5, specifically rotatably connected to the fixed plate 52, and the second end of each connecting plate 22 is connected to the wireless charging plate 21. With this configuration, the rotating motor 51 of the rotating module 5 can drive the connected plate 22 to rotate around the Z-axis to adjust the orientation angle of the wireless charging plate 21. This allows the wireless charging plate 21 to align with the wireless charging receiver module of the device being charged at a suitable angle, based on the position of the receiver module, making the docking process between the charging pile and the device simple and highly accurate. Additionally, the connecting plate 22 increases the distance between the wireless charging plate 21 and the rotating module 5, providing sufficient space for the wireless charging plate 21 to sway left and right, preventing damage from contact between the wireless charging plate 21 and the rotating module 5. The wireless charging transmitter module 2 / wireless charging receiver module is an electromagnetic induction transmitting / receiving coil or a magnetic resonance transmitting / receiving coil.

[0073] As an example, there are two connecting plates 22. During installation, the two connecting plates 22 are arranged at intervals along the Z-axis. Each connecting plate 22 is rotatably connected to a fixed plate 52. A rotary motor 51 is mounted on one of the fixed plates 52, driving one connecting plate 22 to rotate around the Z-axis. The other connecting plate 22 then rotates around the Z-axis, which can improve the connection stability of the wireless charging plate 21. The wireless charging transmitter module 2 also includes at least one reinforcing rod 23 (e.g., two reinforcing rods 23 arranged at intervals). The two ends of each reinforcing rod 23 are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 22, which improves the stability between the two connecting plates 22 and ensures the safety of the wireless charging plate 21. Moreover, an installation space is formed between the two connecting plates 22, which can accommodate heat dissipation structures or other structures.

[0074] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 The charging pile also includes a protective shell 7, which encloses the charging control module 1 and is mounted on the planar moving module 3 of the drive mechanism.

[0075] As an example, the charging pile also includes a protective shell 7. During installation, the protective shell 7 is wrapped around the charging control module 1 and mounted on the planar moving module 3 of the drive mechanism. This effectively protects the charging control module 1 and part of the drive mechanism structure, improving the service life of the charging pile. In addition, the protective shell 7 is equipped with breathable and rainproof louvers 8, which can provide ventilation and heat dissipation for the interior of the charging pile and prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the charging pile.
