Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of batteries, specifically to a seating frame and a charging system. Background Technology

[0002] After a ship with a depleted battery docks, the dock's tower cranes lift the power supply from the electric ship onto a container truck at the shore and transport it to a battery swapping station for charging. The charging process at the battery swapping station is all done manually, which is time-consuming, inefficient, and has low reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a seating stand and a charging system that can improve the low reliability of charging external devices.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a seating stand for placing external equipment. The seating stand includes: a support body with a support portion for supporting the external equipment; and a guide structure with an outer periphery of the support body and a guide surface at its upper part, the guide surface extending obliquely downwards toward the support body.

[0005] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, no manual secondary alignment is required. While saving labor costs, it not only reduces the difficulty of placing external devices, but also improves the placement accuracy of external devices. By setting a support part to support the external devices, the stability of the external devices is improved. By setting a guide structure with a guide surface, the placement of external devices can be guided, further reducing the difficulty of placing external devices, improving the placement efficiency of external devices, and further improving the placement accuracy of external devices, which facilitates the plugging and unplugging of external devices with the charging plug assembly.

[0006] In some embodiments, the guide structure comprises multiple guide structures, which are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the support body. In the above technical solution, by providing multiple guide structures, the placement of external equipment is guided, the manufacturing of the guide structures is facilitated, and manufacturing and maintenance costs are reduced.

[0007] In some embodiments, the guide structure includes a guide bracket and a guide pad. The guide bracket is connected to the outer periphery of the bracket body and protrudes from the upper surface of the bracket body. The guide pad is detachably disposed on the guide bracket and has the guide surface. In the above technical solution, by designing a detachable guide bracket and guide pad, the guide pad can be removed separately when the guide surface is worn, reducing maintenance time and maintenance costs.

[0008] In some embodiments, the guide pad is a metal component. In the above technical solution, by using a metal guide pad, the structural strength of the guide pad can be improved to ensure that the tilt angle of the guide surface remains at the predetermined design value, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the guide surface. Simultaneously, the metal structure can reduce the wear rate of the guide surface and increase the service life of the guide structure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the guide bracket is welded to the support body, and / or, the outer periphery of the guide bracket is provided with a connecting piece, which is connected to both the guide bracket and the support body. In the above technical solution, the guide bracket can achieve a reliable connection with the support body, improving the stability of the entire seating frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bracket body includes two first brackets and a plurality of second brackets, each of the first brackets extending along the length direction of the external device, the two first brackets being arranged at intervals, the plurality of second brackets being connected between the two first brackets, and the support portion being provided on the first brackets and / or the second brackets.

[0011] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the guide structure is arranged opposite to the second bracket on both sides of the first bracket. In the above technical solution, the bracket body structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and it can effectively support external equipment, improving the stability of the support.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least one guide structure is provided on the exterior of the second bracket at one end along the length direction of the bracket body. In the above technical solution, by arranging at least a portion of the guide structure corresponding to the second bracket, the structural strength at the guide structure can be improved, the stability of the entire seating frame can be enhanced, and the probability of deformation or movement of the guide structure caused by external equipment acting on it can be reduced.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support body further includes multiple buffer pads, which are arranged circumferentially around the support body. The buffer pads are spaced apart from the support portion, and their height is greater than that of the support portion. The buffer pads absorb impact kinetic energy upon compression, providing cushioning for external equipment. This prevents damage to the external equipment and also prevents excessive impact damage to the support portion or impact on its service life. When the buffer pads are compressed, the external equipment contacts the rigid support surface, locking its position.

[0014] In some embodiments, at least one support portion is provided between two adjacent buffer pads in the circumferential direction of the bracket body. In the above technical solution, by arranging the buffer pads and support portions as described above, the service life of the buffer pads and support portions can be improved, as can the stability of the external device on the mounting frame, facilitating the connection between the external device and the charging plug-in assembly.

[0015] In some embodiments, the seating frame further includes a trigger mechanism disposed on the support body. The trigger mechanism includes a trigger switch and a trigger element. The trigger switch is fixed on the support body to determine whether the external device is installed correctly. The trigger element is movable between a first position and a second position. When the external device is placed on the support body, it can drive the trigger element to move from the first position to the second position, so that the trigger element cooperates with the trigger switch. In the above technical solution, by setting a trigger mechanism, a safety protection function can be achieved. The trigger mechanism sends a signal to the charging system indicating whether the external device is installed correctly, so that the charging system can charge the external device after confirming that it is installed correctly, avoiding risks such as charging failure caused by loose connection or floating.

[0016] In some embodiments, the seating frame is provided with at least two triggering mechanisms, which are arranged symmetrically around the center of the support body. In the above technical solution, by providing multiple triggering mechanisms, the accuracy of determining the installation position of external equipment can be improved. Furthermore, if one side cannot be properly positioned, the position of the external equipment can be adjusted, or uneven compression of the buffer pad or deformation of the support body can be detected in advance, thereby enabling timely maintenance and improving reliability.

[0017] In some embodiments, the triggering mechanism further includes a guide and a reset member. The trigger is disposed on the guide, and the external device placed on the guide can drive the guide to move. The reset member cooperates with the guide to drive the guide to move so that the trigger moves from the second position to the first position. In the above technical solution, by setting the guide and the reset member, it is possible to avoid the external device directly touching the trigger and affecting its reliability, and also to reset the trigger, thereby improving the reliability of the entire charging system.

[0018] In some embodiments, the end of the guide member is provided with a rollable ball, the external device is supported on the ball, and the ball head rolls in engagement with the external device. In the above technical solution, by providing the ball, the external device can roll on the guide member, reducing friction, facilitating the movement of the external device, and preventing damage to the external device.

[0019] In some embodiments, the trigger switch is a proximity switch. In the above technical solution, by using a proximity switch, the service life of the trigger switch can be increased, thereby increasing the service life of the seating frame, and ultimately improving the reliability of supporting and charging external equipment.

[0020] Secondly, this application provides a charging system that includes the seating frame described in the above embodiments.

[0021] In some embodiments, a charging plug-in assembly is also included, with the mounting bracket disposed on one side of the charging plug-in assembly, the charging plug-in assembly being movably coupled to an external device on the mounting bracket to charge the external device.

[0022] In some embodiments, a charging base is also included, on which the charging plug assembly is disposed, the seating frame and the charging base are positioned connected, and the charging plug assembly is movable relative to the seating frame.

[0023] In some embodiments, a mobile platform is further included, which is mounted on the charging base and movable relative to the charging base in a first direction, the charging plug-in assembly is mounted on the mobile platform, and the mobile platform is movable relative to the seating frame to move the mobile platform closer to and away from the seating frame.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the charging plug assembly is moved relative to the seating position of the external device by the moving platform to achieve the initial positioning of the charging plug assembly and the external device. This facilitates more precise positioning and cooperation between the charging plug assembly and the external device, reduces docking difficulty, reduces the risk of plugging failure, improves charging efficiency, and reduces the risk of damage to the docking structure between the charging plug assembly and the external device.

[0025] In some embodiments, the charging plug-in assembly includes a plug-in module with a charging connector for plugging into a charging port on an external device. The moving module includes a first moving module movably mounted on the charging base along a first direction. The plug-in module is mounted on the first moving module and moves relative to the charging base along the first direction with the first moving module. The charging connector plugs into the charging port along the first direction, where the first direction is the length direction of the external device. In this technical solution, the first moving module enables the plug-in module to move along the first direction with high precision, facilitating the plug-in connection between the charging connector and the charging panel of the external device. This results in high plug-in accuracy and a high charging success rate. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual alignment and switching of the charging gun, saving labor costs and improving charging efficiency.

[0026] In some embodiments, the moving module further includes a second moving module, which is movably mounted on the first moving module along a second direction. The plug-in module is disposed on the second moving module and is movable relative to the charging base along the first and second directions with the first and second moving modules, respectively. The second direction is the width direction of the external device. In the above technical solution, the first and second moving modules enable the plug-in module to move along the first and second directions with high precision, facilitating the connection between the charging connector and the charging panel of the external device. This ensures high plug-in accuracy and a high charging success rate. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual alignment and switching of the charging gun, saving labor costs and improving charging efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, the moving module further includes a third moving module, which is movably mounted on the second moving module along a third direction. A plug-in module is disposed on the third moving module, and the plug-in module is movable relative to the charging base along the first, second, and third directions, where the third direction is the height direction of the external device. In the above technical solution, the first, second, and third moving modules enable the plug-in module to move along the first, second, and third directions with high precision, facilitating the connection between the charging connector and the charging panel of the external device. This ensures high plug-in accuracy and a high charging success rate. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual alignment and switching of the charging gun, saving labor costs and improving charging efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments, the charging device further includes a protective cover mounted on the mobile platform and having a receiving space, the charging plug assembly being located within the receiving space, the protective cover having a mating interface, and the movable module being able to drive the charging connector to extend from the mating interface to engage with a charging port on the external device.

[0029] In the above technical solution, by setting a protective cover, the charging plug assembly can be shielded and protected, achieving protection functions such as rainproof, snowproof, hailproof, dustproof, and sunproof. This helps to improve the service life of the charging plug assembly and enhance the reliability of the charging connection between the charging plug assembly and external devices.

[0030] In some embodiments, a shielding member is provided at the interface, the shielding member extending along the edge of the interface and used to contact and engage with the outer wall of the external device.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the shielding component blocks the gap between the edge of the interface and the outer wall of the external device, so that the electrical connection between the charging connector and the charging port is not easily exposed to rain or ultraviolet radiation, which greatly reduces the risk of water ingress and aging, and improves the service life of the charging plug assembly.

[0032] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of this application are given below.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order or hierarchy.

[0037] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0038] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0041] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0042] In related technologies, external devices are usually placed directly on the ground or on a simple roller tray, and then manually pushed and pulled to connect with the charging base. Since there is no rigid positioning reference, manual re-alignment is required after each placement, which takes a long time and makes it difficult to implement automated battery swapping.

[0043] Therefore, this application proposes a seating frame for placing external equipment. The seating frame includes a support body and a guide structure. The support body is provided with a support portion for supporting the external equipment. The guide structure is provided with the outer periphery of the support body and has a guide surface at the top. The guide surface extends obliquely from top to bottom towards the support body.

[0044] According to the embodiment of this application, the placement frame eliminates the need for manual re-alignment, saving labor costs, reducing the difficulty of placing external devices, and improving the placement accuracy of external devices. By setting a support part to support the external device, the stability of the external device placement is improved. By setting a guide structure with a guide surface, the placement of the external device can be guided, further reducing the difficulty of placing the external device, improving the placement efficiency of the external device, and further improving the placement accuracy of the external device, which facilitates the plugging and unplugging of the external device with the charging plug assembly.

[0045] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the mounting frame 20 in this embodiment can be used in the charging system 1. The charging system 1 can be used to charge the external device 90 of the electrical equipment. The external device 90 can be a box-type power supply. A box-type power supply is an integrated and modular power device that integrates power modules, control systems, protection units, fire protection facilities, etc., into a protective box. It has the characteristics of flexible deployment, strong environmental adaptability, and safety and reliability. The electrical equipment can be, but is not limited to, box-type substations, ships, outdoor work equipment, laboratories, portable emergency power supply equipment, communication base stations, etc.

[0046] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the charging system 1 includes a charging base 10 and a seating frame 20. The charging base 10 is provided with a charging plug assembly 30. The seating frame 20 is located at one end of the charging base 10 and is used to place an external device 90. The external device 90 can cooperate with the charging plug assembly 30 for charging.

[0047] The charging base 10 supports the charging plug assembly 30. The charging base 10 can be partially buried underground. The charging plug assembly 30 can be directly installed on the charging base 10 or indirectly installed on the charging base 10 through other components. The charging plug assembly 30 can be movable relative to the charging base 10 or it can be fixed.

[0048] The mounting bracket 20 provides support for the external device 90. The mounting bracket 20 can be partially pre-buried underground to fix the mounting bracket 20. After the external device 90 is placed on the mounting bracket 20, the external device 90 can be opposite the charging base 10 along the first direction F1. The mounting bracket 20 can position the external device 90, reduce the probability of the external device 90 tilting and shaking, and protect the external device 90 from physical damage to the ground, thus extending its service life. The mounting bracket 20 can also improve the contact alignment accuracy between the external device 90 and the charging plug-in assembly 30 of the charging assembly 1, reducing the probability of poor contact. In addition, a monitoring module can be integrated on the mounting bracket 20 for automatic power on and off.

[0049] The seating frame 20 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Reference Figures 1-11 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, the seating frame 20 is used to place an external device 90. The seating frame 20 includes a support body 21 and a guide structure 22. The support body 21 is provided with a support portion 2101 for supporting the external device 90. The guide structure 22 is provided on the outer periphery of the support body 21. The upper part of the guide structure 22 has a guide surface 2221, which extends obliquely from top to bottom and toward the support body 21.

[0051] The support part 2101 is located on the upper surface of the bracket body 21. The support part 2101 can be multiple small support structures or a large integral support structure. The external device 90 is supported on the support part 2101. The weight of the external device 90 can be transferred to the bracket body 21 through the support part 2101, reducing the probability of damage to the bracket body 21. The support part 2101 can be disassembled and installed from the bracket body 21, so that it can be replaced even if it is damaged, reducing maintenance costs.

[0052] There can be multiple guide structures 22, which are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the support body 21; the guide structure 22 can also be a large integral guide structure 22, for example, forming a ring, with a large integral guide surface 2221 on its upper surface, the guide surface 2221 forming a ring, and its upper surface can also have multiple guide surfaces 2221 arranged at intervals.

[0053] The guide structure 22 can guide the external device 90 through the guide surface 2221 during the placement of the external device 90 on the seating frame 20. Even if there is an initial positional deviation between the external device 90 and the support body 21, the external device 90 can be automatically aligned by the sliding correction of the guide surface 2221, which significantly reduces the difficulty of placement, improves the seating efficiency, improves the placement accuracy of the external device 90, reduces the probability of misalignment between the external device 90 and the charging plug-in assembly 30, and improves the success rate of plugging in.

[0054] According to the embodiment of this application, the seating rack 20 eliminates the need for manual secondary alignment, saving labor costs, reducing the difficulty of placing the external device 90, and improving the placement accuracy of the external device 90. By providing a support part 2101 to support the external device 90, the stability of the external device 90 placement is improved. By providing a guide structure 22 with a guide surface 2221, the placement of the external device 90 can be guided, further reducing the difficulty of placing the external device 90, improving the seating efficiency of the external device 90, and further improving the placement accuracy of the external device 90, which facilitates the insertion of the external device 90 into the charging plug-in assembly 30.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide structure 22 includes a plurality of guide structures 22, which are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the support body 21.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple guide structures 22 are arranged in a circumferential clamping manner. The load on each guide structure 22 decreases, and the wear rate of the guide surface 2221 of a single guide structure 22 decreases. At the same time, when the external equipment 90 is placed, regardless of which direction the external equipment 90 initially deviates from, it can be automatically corrected under the guidance of multiple guide surfaces 2221.

[0057] Each guide structure 22 can be made into the same structural component and then connected to the bracket body 21, such as by bolting or welding. The guide structure 22 is easy to manufacture, and when a single guide structure 22 is damaged, it can be replaced individually without disassembling the entire bracket, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0058] In the above technical solution, by setting multiple guide structures 22, the placement of external equipment 90 is guided, and the manufacturing of the guide structures 22 is facilitated, which helps to reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the guide structure 22 includes a guide bracket 221 and a guide pad 222. The guide bracket 221 is connected to the outer periphery of the bracket body 21 and protrudes from the upper surface of the bracket body 21. The guide pad 222 is detachably disposed on the guide bracket 221 and has a guide surface 2221.

[0060] The guide bracket 221 and the guide pad 222 are connected by fasteners. Once the guide surface 2221 is worn, the guide pad 222 can be removed separately by simply loosening the fasteners, which can quickly complete the on-site replacement and reduce maintenance time and cost.

[0061] The guide bracket 221 and guide pad 222 can be supported by different materials. By reasonably selecting the materials of the guide bracket 221 and guide pad 222, the cost can be reduced to a certain extent while meeting the requirements of supporting and guiding external equipment.

[0062] In addition, during the initial debugging, the guide bracket 221 is directly connected to the bracket body 21. The guide bracket 221 can retain a uniform interface, and the guide pad 222 can be made with different tilt angle specifications. The optimal tilt angle can be found by directly replacing the guide pad 222 without reconnecting the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21.

[0063] In the above technical solution, by designing a detachable guide bracket 221 and guide pad 222, the guide pad 222 can be removed separately when the guide surface 2221 is worn, thereby reducing maintenance time and maintenance costs.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide pad 222 is a metal part. The guide pad 222 can be made of stainless steel or iron.

[0065] In the above technical solution, by using a metal guide pad 222, the structural strength of the guide pad 222 can be improved to ensure that the tilt angle of the guide surface 2221 is maintained at the predetermined design value, thus ensuring the reliability of the guide surface 2221. At the same time, the metal structure can reduce the wear rate of the guide surface 2221 and improve the service life of the guide structure 22.

[0066] In some embodiments, the guide bracket 221 is welded to the bracket body 21, or the outer periphery of the guide bracket 221 is provided with a connecting piece 223, which is connected to the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21 respectively, or a part of the guide bracket 221 is welded to the bracket body 21, and a part of the guide bracket 221 is connected to the bracket body 21 through the connecting piece 223.

[0067] In some examples, the guide bracket 221 is directly welded to the bracket body 21, so that the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21 can form an integral part. Welding can improve the strength and reliability of the connection.

[0068] In some examples, the guide bracket 221 is connected to the bracket body 21 via a connecting piece 223, which can increase the contact area between the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21, thereby improving the strength and reliability of the connection.

[0069] The connecting piece 223 can be triangular. The two sides of the connecting piece 223 are welded to the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21 respectively. A part of the guide bracket 221 is directly connected to the bracket body 21, such as by welding or fastener connection, thereby further improving the reliability of the connection between the guide bracket 221 and the bracket body 21.

[0070] In the above technical solution, the guide bracket 221 can be reliably connected to the bracket body 21, thereby improving the stability of the entire seating frame 20.

[0071] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket body 21 includes two first brackets 211 and a plurality of second brackets 212. Each first bracket 211 extends along the length direction of the external device 90. The two first brackets 211 are arranged at intervals, and the plurality of second brackets 212 are connected between the two first brackets 211. The first bracket 211 is provided with a support portion 2101, or the second bracket 212 is provided with a support portion 2101, or the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 are provided with a support portion 2101.

[0072] The support body 21 includes two first supports 211 and multiple second supports 212. The first supports 211 extend along a first direction F1, and the second supports 212 extend along a second direction F2. The first supports 211 and the second supports 212 are spliced ​​together to form a frame structure. Support parts 2101 are provided on the first supports 211 and the second supports 212. By providing partial support for the external equipment 90, the weight of the entire support body 21 is reduced, the cost of the support body 21 is lowered, and the manufacturing of the support body 21 is facilitated, while ensuring effective support for the external equipment 90.

[0073] In the above technical solution, the support body 21 has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and can effectively support the external equipment 90, thereby improving the stability of the support.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, at least part of the guide structure 22 is arranged opposite to the second bracket 212 on both sides of the first bracket 211.

[0075] The guide structure 22 and the second support 212 are arranged opposite each other in the second direction F2. The guide structure 22 and the second support 212 are located on both sides of the first support 211, which can improve the structural strength at that location. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second bracket 212 is partially connected to the first bracket 211, and the first bracket 211 is also partially connected to the guide structure 22. Correspondingly, the other end of the second bracket 212 is partially connected to another first bracket 211, and the first bracket 211 is also partially connected to the guide structure 22. Thus, in the second direction F2, a second bracket 212 is provided between the two relatively arranged guide structures 22. The two second brackets 212 can play a certain role in strengthening the guide structure 22, improving the stability of the guide structure 22, and reducing the probability of deformation or movement of the guide structure 22 caused by the external equipment 90 acting on the guide structure 22.

[0076] In addition, in some embodiments, at least one end of the first bracket 211 is provided with a guide structure 22. By providing a guide structure 22 at the end of the first bracket 211, the end face of the external device 90 is guided by the guide structure 22 when it is placed, thereby improving the stability of the guide.

[0077] In the above technical solution, by arranging at least part of the guide structure 22 corresponding to the second bracket 212, the structural strength of the guide structure 22 can be improved, the stability of the entire seating frame 20 can be improved, and the probability of deformation or movement of the guide structure 22 caused by the external equipment 90 acting on the guide structure 22 can be reduced.

[0078] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the support body 21 also has a plurality of buffer pads 213, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support body 21. The buffer pads 213 are arranged at intervals with the support portion 2101, and the height of the buffer pads 213 is higher than the height of the support portion 2101.

[0079] like Figures 3-5As shown, multiple buffer pads 213 are provided on the bracket body 21. The buffer pads 213 can be made of elastic compressible materials such as polyurethane. The buffer pads 213 and the support part 2101 are located on the upper surface of the bracket body 21. In the free state, the height of the buffer pads 213 is higher than the height of the support part 2101. When the external device 90 is placed, the external device 90 will first contact the buffer pads 213 after falling. Thus, the buffer pads 213 are compressed and absorb the impact kinetic energy, which can buffer the external device 90. This can prevent the external device 90 from being damaged and prevent the support part 2101 from being damaged by excessive impact or affecting its service life. After the buffer pads 213 are pressed to be flush with the support part 2101 (or slightly lower than the upper surface of the support part 2101), the external device 90 contacts the rigid support surface and completes the position locking.

[0080] Multiple buffer pads 213 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bracket body 21, which can increase the contact area with the external equipment 90, reduce the probability of the external equipment 90 swaying, and avoid the probability of the external equipment 90 being scratched and damaged by the support part 2101.

[0081] The buffer pad 213 can be installed on the bracket body 21 by fasteners, which can be bolts. In this case, the upper part of the buffer pad 213 can be provided with a downward recessed groove, and the end of the bolt is accommodated in the groove to prevent the fastener from protruding from the buffer pad 213 and scratching the external equipment 90.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one support portion 2101 is provided between two adjacent buffer pads 213 in the circumferential direction of the support body 21.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, at least one support portion 2101 is provided between two adjacent buffer pads 213, and at least one buffer pad 213 is provided between two adjacent support portions 2101. The buffer pads 213 and the support portions 2101 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bracket body 21. Thus, when the external device 90 is placed, the external device 90 can evenly contact multiple buffer pads 213 after falling. After the buffer pads 213 are compressed into place, the support portions 2101 between two adjacent buffer pads 213 can support the external device 90. Each support portion 2101 is less likely to suddenly contact the external device 90, which can reduce the contact stress of the support portion 2101 and improve its service life. At the same time, it can avoid excessive compression of local buffer pads 213, which would affect the service life of the buffer pads 213. Also, excessive local falling of the external device 90 would cause the bottom to tilt, affecting the fit between the external device 90 and the charging plug assembly 30.

[0084] In the above technical solution, by arranging the buffer pad 213 and the support 2101 as described above, the service life of the buffer pad 213 and the support 2101 can be improved, and the stability of the external device 90 on the seat frame 20 can be improved, which facilitates the cooperation between the external device 90 and the charging plug-in assembly 300.

[0085] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the seating frame 20 further includes a trigger mechanism 23, which is disposed on the support body 21. The trigger mechanism 23 includes a trigger switch 231 and a trigger element 232. The trigger switch 231 is fixed on the support body 21 and is used to determine whether the external device 90 is installed in place. The trigger element 232 is movable between a first position and a second position. When the external device 90 is placed on the support body 21, it can drive the trigger element 232 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the trigger element 232 cooperates with the trigger switch 231.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the seating frame 20 is provided with two triggering mechanisms 23. Of course, one or more can also be provided. Each triggering mechanism 23 includes a trigger switch 231 and a trigger element 232. The trigger switch 231 can be a contact switch or a non-contact switch. For example, the trigger switch 231 can be a micro switch, photoelectric switch, Hall switch, pressure switch, proximity switch, etc. The trigger element 232 can be driven when the external device 90 is seated. When the external device 90 is not placed on the seating frame 20, the trigger element 232 is in the first position. When the external device 90 is seated, the trigger element 232 can be moved to the second position, and the trigger element 232 only cooperates with the trigger switch 231 in the second position, thereby closing the trigger switch 231.

[0087] The trigger switch 231 can be electrically connected to the power supply of the entire charging system 1, so that when the trigger switch 231 is closed, the external device 90 is completed and the structure on the charging base 10 can be activated, or the charging connector 351 of the charging plug assembly 30 can be energized so that the charging connector 351 can charge the external device 90.

[0088] As long as the external device 90 does not fall to the bottom, the buffer pad 213 is not flattened, and the external device 90 is not in contact with the support 2101, the trigger 232 cannot move to the second position, and the trigger switch 231 remains open, thereby preventing risks such as charging failure caused by poor connection or floating.

[0089] In the above technical solution, by setting a trigger mechanism 23, a safety protection function can be achieved. The trigger mechanism 23 sends a signal to the charging system 1 to indicate whether the external device 90 is installed in place, so that the charging system 1 can charge the external device 90 after confirming that it is installed in place, thereby avoiding risks such as charging failure caused by loose connection or floating discharge.

[0090] In some embodiments, the trigger switch 231 is a proximity switch.

[0091] The proximity switch is a contactless switch. The trigger element 232 only needs to be brought close to output a high level, eliminating spring fatigue, resulting in a long service life. Furthermore, the proximity switch has a high tolerance for manufacturing and installation errors, eliminating the need for feeler gauges and adjusting screws on-site, and ensuring a high assembly qualification rate. In addition, the proximity switch has good dustproof performance, and its performance is not easily affected by the mounting frame installed outdoors.

[0092] In the above technical solution, by using a proximity switch, the service life of the trigger switch 231 can be increased, thereby increasing the service life of the seating frame 20, and thus improving the reliability of supporting and charging the external equipment 90.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the seating frame 20 is provided with at least two triggering mechanisms 23, and the at least two triggering mechanisms 23 are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner along the center of the support body 21.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, two triggering mechanisms 23 are arranged on the mounting frame 20. The action of either triggering mechanism 23 does not mean that the device is in place. Both triggering mechanisms 23 must close simultaneously to determine that the external device 90 is in place. The two triggering mechanisms 23 are symmetrical about the center of the bracket body 20 and are roughly arranged near the diagonal of the bracket body 21, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment.

[0095] In the above technical solution, by setting multiple triggering mechanisms 23, the accuracy of judging the installation position of external equipment 90 can be improved. At the same time, when one side cannot be in place, the position of external equipment 90 can be adjusted, or uneven compression of buffer pad 213 or deformation of bracket body 21 can be detected in advance, so that timely maintenance can be carried out and the reliability of use can be improved.

[0096] like Figures 9-11 As shown, in some embodiments, the triggering mechanism 23 further includes a guide 233 and a reset member 234. The trigger 232 is disposed on the guide 233. An external device 90 is placed on the guide 233 and can drive the guide 233 to move. The reset member 234 cooperates with the guide 233 to drive the guide 233 to move so that the trigger 232 moves from the second position to the first position.

[0097] like Figures 9-11As shown, a portion of the guide member 233 can extend out of the upper surface of the bracket body 21. When the external device 90 is placed, the external device 90 contacts the guide member 233, causing the guide member 233 to move, thereby causing the trigger member 232 to move, so that the trigger member 232 can cooperate with the trigger switch 231. After the external device 90 has finished charging, the external device 90 is removed from the seat 20, and the guide member 233 can move in the opposite direction under the action of the reset member 234, thereby causing the trigger member 232 to move from the second position to the first position, realizing the reset of the trigger member 232, and the trigger switch 231 is disconnected, which is convenient for the next charging.

[0098] In the above technical solution, by setting the guide 233 and the reset 234, it is possible to avoid the external device 90 directly touching the trigger 232 and affecting the reliability of the trigger 232, and at the same time, the trigger 232 can be reset, thereby improving the reliability of the entire charging system 1.

[0099] like Figures 9-11 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the guide member 233 is provided with a rotatable ball 2334, and the external device 90 is supported on the ball 2334, with the ball 2334 and the external device 90 in a rolling engagement.

[0100] like Figures 9-11 As shown, a ball groove is provided at the upper end of the guide member 233, and a ball 2334 is disposed in the ball groove. The ball 2334 can roll in the ball groove. When the external device 90 is supported on the guide member 233, the external device 90 contacts the ball 2334. During the falling process of the external device 90, the external device 90 will undergo a certain displacement relative to the guide member 233. Thus, through the contact between the external device 90 and the ball 2334, the movement of the external device 90 can be rolling, which reduces friction, facilitates the movement of the external device 90, and avoids the guide member 233 from scratching the external device 90, causing damage to the external device 90.

[0101] In the above technical solution, by setting the ball 2334, the external device 90 can roll on the guide 233, which reduces friction, facilitates the movement of the external device 90, and avoids damage to the external device 90.

[0102] The charging system 1 according to the embodiments of this application includes a seating frame 20 according to the embodiments of this application. By using the seating frame 20, no manual secondary alignment is required, which saves labor costs, reduces the difficulty of placing the external device 90, and improves the placement accuracy of the external device 90. By setting the support part 2101 to support the external device 90, the stability of the placement of the external device 90 is improved. By setting the guide structure 22 with the guide surface 2221, the placement of the external device 90 can be guided, further reducing the difficulty of placing the external device 90, improving the seating efficiency of the external device 90, and further improving the placement accuracy of the external device 90, which facilitates the insertion of the external device 90 into the charging plug-in assembly 30.

[0103] like Figure 4 , Figures 12-15 As shown, in some embodiments, the charging system 1 further includes a charging plug assembly 30, with a seating frame 20 disposed on one side of the charging plug assembly 30. The charging plug assembly 30 is movably coupled to an external device 90 on the seating frame 20 to charge the external device 90.

[0104] The charging plug assembly 30 is used to connect to an external device 90 to charge the external device 90 via the charging plug assembly 30.

[0105] The charging and plugging assembly 30 may include a first moving module 31, a second moving module 32, a third moving module 33, a tilting module 34, and a plugging module 35. The plugging module 35 is provided with a charging connector 351. The first moving module 31 is movably disposed on the moving platform 40 and then on the charging base 10 along a first direction F1. The second moving module 32 is movably mounted on the first moving module 31 along a second direction F2. The third moving module 33 is movably mounted on the second moving module 32 along a vertical direction F3. The tilting module 34 is disposed between the third moving module 33 and the plugging module 35, and the tilting module 34 can drive the plugging module 35 to rotate relative to the third moving module 33. The position and angle of the plugging module 35 can be adjusted by the tilting module 34. The first direction F1, the second direction F2, and the third direction F3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0106] Using the above-mentioned charging plug-in assembly 30, during the charging process, the charging connector 351 is inserted into or pulled out of the charging port 911 of the external device 90 to establish or disconnect the charging connection. During the charging process, it has mechanical connection, electrical on / off, communication interaction and safety protection mechanisms.

[0107] Furthermore, with the help of the moving module and the swaying module 34, automated charging can be achieved, replacing manual connection and disconnection operations, improving charging efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and realizing unmanned operation.

[0108] like Figures 1-4As shown, in some embodiments, the charging system 1 further includes a charging base 10, on which a charging plug assembly 30 is provided. The seat frame 20 is positioned and connected to the charging base 10, and the charging plug assembly 30 is movable relative to the seat frame 20.

[0109] The charging base 10 can be partially buried underground. The charging plug assembly 30 can be directly installed on the charging base 10 or indirectly installed on the charging base 10 through other components. The charging plug assembly 30 can be movable relative to the charging base 10 or it can be fixed.

[0110] The charging base 10 also includes a movable platform 40 and a protective cover 50. The movable platform 40 is movably mounted on the track 11 of the charging base 10 along the first direction F1 via movable wheels 41. The protective cover 50 is mounted on the movable platform 40 and can enclose the charging plug assembly 30 on the movable platform 40 to achieve a rainproof effect.

[0111] The seating frame 20 and the charging base 10 can be manufactured in modules, and then the seating frame 20 and the charging base 10 can be connected. The seating frame 20 and the charging base 10 are pre-positioned by a positioning structure before being connected, so as to achieve a detachable connection. For example, the end of the charging base 10 near the seating frame 20 has a first mating part, and the end of the seating frame 20 near the charging base 10 has a second mating part. The first mating part and the second mating part are fixedly connected.

[0112] The first mating part and the second mating part are fixedly connected by fasteners, so that the relative position of the seat 20 and the charging base 10 can be locked, thereby reducing the probability of the relative position of the charging base 10 and the seat 20 changing after the external device 90 is placed on the seat. At the same time, the impact force generated by the placement of the external device 90 on the seat 20 can be absorbed by the seat 20 and the charging base 10 as a whole. The seat 20 and the charging base 10 have a common vibration mode, avoiding fretting wear. In addition, the unchanged relative position of the seat 20 and the charging base 10 can also improve the mating accuracy between the external device 90 and the charging plug assembly 30.

[0113] The charging plug assembly 30 is movable relative to the mounting bracket 20, which improves the alignment accuracy between the charging plug assembly 30 and the external device 90, reduces the probability of poor contact, and improves the reliability of charging.

[0114] In the above technical solution, by fixing the charging base 10 and the mounting frame 20 together, the stability of the entire charging system 1 is improved, and it is convenient for the external device 90 to cooperate with the charging plug-in assembly 30 on the charging base 10 for charging. Furthermore, the mounting frame 20 and the charging base 10 can be manufactured separately and then fixedly connected on site, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves assembly efficiency.

[0115] In some embodiments, the charging base 10 has a mounting protrusion 1201 at one end near the seating frame 20, and the seating frame 20 has two guide structures 22 at one end near the charging base 10. The two guide structures 22 are arranged at intervals, and a positioning groove 2202 is defined between the two guide structures 22. The mounting protrusion 1201 is adapted to extend into the positioning groove 2202 to achieve pre-positioning of the charging base 10 and the seating frame 20, reduce the probability of misalignment between the charging base 10 and the seating frame 20, and facilitate the fixed connection of the charging base 10 and the seating frame 20 at the usage site, thereby improving organizational efficiency.

[0116] In some embodiments, the charging base 10 includes a charging frame 12 with a first side beam 121, a mounting protrusion 1201 is provided on the first side beam 121, and the first side beam 121 is provided with a first limiting hole 1211. The guide structure 22 is provided with a second limiting hole 2201. The charging base 10 and the seating frame 20 are connected by fasteners passing through the first limiting hole 1211 and the second limiting hole 2201, thereby fixing the guide structure 22 and the first side beam 121, realizing the fixed connection between the seating frame 20 and the charging base 10, and improving the stability of the entire charging system 1.

[0117] In some embodiments, the charging system 1 further includes a mobile platform 40, which is mounted on the charging base 10 and movable relative to the charging base 10 in a first direction F1. A charging plug-in assembly 30 is mounted on the mobile platform 40, and the mobile platform 40 is movable relative to the seating frame 20 to move the mobile platform 40 closer to and away from the seating frame 20.

[0118] The charging plug assembly 30 can be fixedly installed on the mobile platform 40 by fasteners, welding or other means, or it can be movably installed on the mobile platform 40 by a guide rail or other structure. As long as the movement of the mobile platform 40 can move the charging plug assembly 30 relative to the seat position.

[0119] The moving platform 40 can move along a straight or curved path relative to the seating position, as long as the movement changes the distance between the moving platform 40 and the external device. For example, the seating position of the external device can be located on one side of the charging base 10 in the first direction F1. The moving platform 40 can move back and forth in a straight line along the first direction F1 to move the charging plug assembly 30 on the moving platform 40 closer to and away from the external device. The moving platform 40 moves the charging plug assembly 30 closer to the external device, making the distance between the charging plug assembly 30 and the external device closer, so that the relative position and relative angle between the charging connector 351 and the charging port of the external device can be adjusted more accurately by the movable module 301, thereby improving the charging plug efficiency and accuracy. After charging is completed, the moving platform 40 moves the charging plug assembly 30 away from the external device to avoid interfering with the transfer of the external device.

[0120] In the above technical solution, the moving stage 40 drives the charging plug-in assembly 30 to move relative to the seating position of the external device, so as to achieve the initial positioning of the charging plug-in assembly 30 and the external device. The moving module 301 of the charging plug-in assembly 30 drives the charging connector 351 of the plug-in module 35 to move, so as to achieve the further positioning of the charging connector 351 and the charging port of the external device. This allows the charging connector 351 and the charging port to achieve more precise positioning and cooperation, reduce the difficulty of docking, reduce the risk of plugging and unplugging failure, improve charging efficiency, and at the same time reduce the risk of damage to the docking structure of the charging connector 351 and the charging port.

[0121] In some embodiments, the mobile station 40 has a first position and a second position arranged along a first direction F1, the first position being a seating position away from the external device relative to the second position, and the mobile station 40 being located at the first position when there is no external device at the seating position.

[0122] When the mobile station 40 is in the first position, the distance between it and the seating position is greater. When there are no external devices at the seating position, the mobile station 40 is in the first position, which makes the space near the seating position larger. When placing external devices at the seating position, it is less likely to interfere with or collide with the mobile station 40, thus improving the convenience of seating.

[0123] In the embodiments of this application, the movement control method for the mobile stage 40 to move between the first position and the second position can be flexibly set. Optionally, the mobile stage 40 can be driven to move a fixed distance by a driving structure to achieve switching between the first position and the second position; the charging device 2 may also include a limiting structure disposed at the first position and the second position, and the mobile stage 40 automatically stops moving when it moves to the first position or the second position and abuts against the limiting structure; the charging device 2 may also include a detection structure that detects that the mobile stage 40 has moved to the correct position when it moves to the first position or the second position and controls the mobile stage 40 to stop moving, etc.

[0124] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the charging device 2 further includes a protective cover 50. The protective cover 50 is mounted on the mobile platform 40 and has a receiving space within which the charging plug-in assembly 30 is located. The protective cover 50 is provided with a docking interface 512, from which the movable module 301 can drive the charging connector 351 to extend and engage with the charging port 911 on the external device 90.

[0125] The protective cover 50 and the moving platform 40 can be connected by fasteners, connectors, or other means. For example, the protective cover 50 and the moving platform 40 can be connected by multiple connectors spaced apart along the circumference of the moving platform 40. The connectors are bent plates, one part of which is connected to the cover of the protective cover 50 by fasteners, and the other part of which is connected to the moving platform 40 by fasteners.

[0126] The protective cover 50 refers to a main structure or component with covering, protection, and shielding functions. Its specific shape and material can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. Optionally, the cover of the protective cover 50 may include a top wall and a peripheral wall, with the upper ends of the top wall and the peripheral wall connected to define an accommodating space. The bottom of the accommodating space has an opening to allow the cover to cover the charging plug-in assembly 30. The peripheral wall may be cylindrical or a prismatic shape composed of multiple flat side walls. The material of the cover may be, but is not limited to, high-strength low-carbon steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, composite materials (such as aluminum and insulation layers), etc.

[0127] Interface 512 refers to an opening provided on the protective cover 50. Interface 512 can penetrate the protective cover 50 along its wall thickness direction, allowing components within the receiving space to be inserted into or removed from components outside the receiving space. Interface 512 can be located at least at one location on the top wall and peripheral wall of the protective cover 50, for example... Figure 3 As shown, the protective cover 50 includes multiple sidewalls, one of which faces the external equipment and has an interface 512.

[0128] The protective cover 50 may have one or more connection interfaces 512, wherein the multiple connection interfaces 512 may be located on the same wall surface of the protective cover 50 or on different wall surfaces. Furthermore, in embodiments with multiple connection interfaces 512, the charging plug-in assembly 30 may charge external devices sequentially through the connection interfaces 512 or simultaneously through multiple connection interfaces 512.

[0129] By setting up a protective cover 50, the charging plug assembly 30 can be shielded and protected, achieving protection functions such as rainproof, snowproof, hailproof, dustproof, and sunproof. This helps to improve the service life of the charging plug assembly 30 and enhance the reliability of the charging connection between the charging plug assembly 30 and external devices.

[0130] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, a shielding member 52 is provided at the interface 512. The shielding member 52 extends along the edge of the interface 512 and is used to contact and cooperate with the outer wall of the external device 90.

[0131] The fixing method of the shielding member 52 can be, but is not limited to, adhesive bonding, fastener connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. The shielding member 52 extends along the edge of the interface 512. Here, the shielding member 52 can extend along the periphery of the interface 512 in a non-complete ring shape (for example, the shielding member 52 is provided on the peripheral wall of the cover, and the bottom of the shielding member 52 is a ring-shaped break), or it can extend into a complete ring shape. Here, the ring shape can be, but is not limited to, a circular ring and a square ring.

[0132] Optionally, the shielding member 52 can be made of an elastic material to improve the contact effect, such as, but not limited to, rubber, silicone, etc.; Optionally, the shielding member 52 can be made of a shape with a certain deformability to improve the contact effect, for example, the cross-sectional shape of the shielding member 52 parallel to the contact direction can be circular, U-shaped, etc.

[0133] The shield 52 is used to contact and engage with the outer wall of the external device 90. Therefore, when charging the external device 90 is required, the shield 52 of the protective cover 50 can first contact and engage with the outer wall of the external device 90, and then the charging connector 351 extends from the interface 512 and plugs into the charging port 911 of the external device 90 for charging. During charging, the shield 52 covers the gap between the protective cover 50 and the outer wall of the external device 90, specifically covering the gap between the edge of the interface 512 and the charging panel 91. This prevents the electrical connection between the charging connector 351 and the charging port 911 from being exposed to rain or ultraviolet radiation, greatly reducing the risk of water ingress and aging, and improving the service life of the charging plug assembly 30.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the charging system 1 is used to charge the box-type power supply, which is a replaceable power source for the electric vessel. That is, the box-type power supply acts as an external device, thereby enabling the electric vessel to swap batteries, reducing the waiting time for charging and swapping; and the box-type power supply can be charged on shore using the charging system 1, without being restricted by the location of the electric vessel, making the charging time more flexible, and also helping to improve the docking accuracy between the charging system 1 and the box-type power supply.

[0135] A charging system 1 according to a specific embodiment of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the application.

[0136] like Figures 1-17 As shown, a charging system 1 according to a specific embodiment of this application includes a seating frame 20 and a charging device 2. The charging device 2 includes a charging base 10, a moving platform 40, a protective cover 50 and a charging plug-in assembly 30. The seating frame 20 is used to place an external device 90, and the external device 90 has two charging panels 91.

[0137] The seating frame 20 includes a support body 21, multiple guide structures 22, and two triggering mechanisms 23. The support body 21 is provided with multiple support parts 2101, which are located on the upper surface of the support body 21 and are used to support the external device 90. The support body 21 includes two first supports 211 and multiple second supports 212. Each first support 211 extends along the length direction of the external device 90. The two first supports 211 are arranged at intervals, and the multiple second supports 212 are connected between the two first supports 211. The first supports 211 and the second supports 212 are provided with support parts 2101.

[0138] The support body 21 also has multiple buffer pads 213, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support body 21. The buffer pads 213 are arranged at intervals with the support part 2101, and the height of the buffer pads 213 is higher than the height of the support part 2101. When the external equipment 90 is placed, the external equipment 90 will first contact the buffer pads 213 after falling. Thus, the buffer pads 213 are compressed and absorb the impact kinetic energy, which can buffer the external equipment 90. This can prevent the external equipment 90 from being damaged and prevent the support part 2101 from being damaged by excessive impact or affecting its service life. After the buffer pads 213 are pressed to be flush with the support part 2101 (or slightly lower than the upper surface of the support part 2101), the external equipment 90 contacts the rigid support surface and completes the position locking.

[0139] Multiple guide structures 22 are spaced apart on the outer periphery of the support body 21. Each guide structure 22 includes a guide bracket 221 and a guide pad 222. The guide bracket 221 is connected to the outer periphery of the support body 21. A connecting piece 223 is provided on the outer periphery of the guide bracket 221. The connecting piece 223, the guide bracket 221 and the support body 21 are connected to each other.

[0140] The guide bracket 221 protrudes from the upper surface of the bracket body 21. The guide pad 222 is detachably provided on the guide bracket 221, and the guide pad 222 has a guide surface 2221. The guide surface 2221 extends obliquely from top to bottom and toward the bracket body 21. The guide structure 22 can guide the external device 90 through the guide surface 2221 during the process of placing the external device 90 on the seating frame 20.

[0141] Two triggering mechanisms 23 are symmetrical about the center of the bracket body 20. Both triggering mechanisms 23 must close simultaneously to determine that the external device 90 is installed correctly. Each triggering mechanism 23 includes a trigger switch 231, a trigger element 232, a guide element 233, and a reset element 234. The trigger element 232 is mounted on the guide element 233, and the upper end of the guide element 233 has a rollable ball 2334. The trigger switch 231 is fixed to the bracket body 21 and is used to determine whether the external device 90 is installed correctly. The external device 90 is supported on the guide element... When the external device 90 is placed on the guide 233, it comes into contact with the ball 2334. During the descent of the external device 90, the external device 90 will be displaced relative to the guide 233, thereby driving the trigger 232 to move. When the external device 90 is not placed on the seat 20, the trigger 232 is in the first position. When the external device 90 is seated in place, the trigger 232 can be moved to the second position. The trigger 232 only cooperates with the trigger switch 231 in the second position, thereby causing the trigger switch 231 to close.

[0142] In some specific examples, the bracket body 21 forms a mounting cavity 2102, and the trigger switch 231 is located in the mounting cavity 2102, thereby protecting the trigger switch 231 and extending the service life of the trigger switch 231.

[0143] The triggering mechanism 23 also includes a trigger seat 235, which is installed in the mounting cavity 2102 and connected to the bracket body 21. The trigger seat 235 defines a receiving cavity 2351. The upper surface of the bracket body 21 has a first through hole 2103 communicating with the receiving cavity 2351. A part of the guide member 233 and the reset member 234 are provided in the receiving cavity 2351. A part of the guide member 233 extends out of the receiving groove through the first through hole 2103. The receiving cavity 2351 can both protect the guide member 233 and limit its movement, ensuring that the guide member 233 moves in a predetermined direction, thereby ensuring the reliability of the triggering mechanism 23.

[0144] The guide member 233 includes a first guide section 2331 and a second guide section 2332 connected in sequence. The first guide section 2331 extends out of the receiving cavity 2351 through the first through hole 2103. The second guide section 2332 is disposed in the receiving cavity 2351, and the cross-sectional dimension of the second guide section 2332 is larger than that of the first guide section 2331. The second guide section 2332 can abut against the bracket body 21 to limit the trigger member 232 to the first position. The reset member 234 is located between the second guide section 2332 and the trigger seat 235.

[0145] The guide member 233 also includes a third guide segment 2333, which is connected to the end of the second guide segment 2332 away from the first guide segment 2331. The cross-sectional dimension of the third guide segment 2333 is smaller than that of the second guide segment 2332. The reset member 234 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third guide segment 2333. The two ends of the reset member 234 abut against the bottom of the second guide segment 2332 and the trigger seat 235, respectively, thereby limiting the position of the reset member 234.

[0146] The trigger seat 235 has a second through hole 2352 at the end away from the first through hole 2103. The third guide section 2333 can pass through the second through hole 2352. Through the cooperation of the third guide section 2333 and the second through hole 2352, the movement of the guide member 233 is further limited, ensuring that the guide member 233 moves in a predetermined direction, thereby ensuring the reliability of the trigger mechanism 23.

[0147] The trigger seat 235 has a clearance groove 2353, which communicates with the receiving cavity 2351. The clearance groove 2353 is arranged opposite to the trigger switch 231. A part of the guide member 233 can extend out of the receiving cavity 2351 through the clearance groove 2353. The trigger member 232 is provided on the guide member 233 and can slide along the extension direction of the clearance groove 2353, thereby facilitating the cooperation between the trigger member 232 and the trigger switch 231.

[0148] The charging plug assembly 30 is used to connect to an external device 90 to charge the external device 90 via the charging plug assembly 30. A cable 61 is electrically connected to the charging plug assembly 30 to supply power to the charging plug assembly 30 via the cable 61.

[0149] like Figure 13 As shown, the charging base 10 includes a charging frame 12 and two tracks 11 disposed on the charging frame 12. The charging frame 12 includes two first side beams 121 opposite each other along a first direction F1 and two second side beams 122 opposite each other along a second direction F2. Adjacent first side beams 121 are connected to second side beams 122, and the two tracks 11 are respectively disposed on the two second side beams 122.

[0150] The mobile platform 40 is movably mounted on the track 11 of the charging base 10 along the first direction F1 via movable wheels 41. A protective cover 50 is provided on the mobile platform 40 and encloses the charging plug assembly 30 on the mobile platform 40 to achieve a rainproof effect. The charging plug assembly 30 is movably mounted on the mobile platform 40.

[0151] The charging plug-in assembly 30 includes an active module and a plug-in module 35. The active module 301 includes a moving module and a swaying module 34. The moving module includes a first moving module 31, a second moving module 32, and a third moving module 33.

[0152] The first moving module 31 is movably mounted on the moving platform 40 and then on the charging base 10 along the first direction F1. The second moving module 32 is movably mounted on the first moving module 31 along the second direction F2. The third moving module 33 is movably mounted on the second moving module 32 along the third direction F3. The tilting module 34 is located between the third moving module 33 and the plug-in module 35. The tilting module 34 can drive the plug-in module 35 to rotate relative to the third moving module 33. The position and angle of the plug-in module 35 can be adjusted by the tilting module 34. The first direction F1, the second direction F2 and the up and down direction F3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0153] The yaw module 34 includes a yaw drive 343 and a yaw table 341. The end of the yaw drive 343 is rotatably connected to the yaw table 341 via a ball joint 344.

[0154] The plug-in module 35 includes a connector panel 354 and a charging connector 351 and a positioning pin 352 disposed on the connector panel 354. A buffer structure 36 is disposed between the connector panel 354 and the tilting stage 341. One end of the positioning pin 352 has a positioning connector 3521, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the positioning connector 3521 gradually increase along the direction closer to the other end of the positioning pin 352.

[0155] The end face of the positioning socket 912 can be provided with a flared opening, thereby forming a positioning bevel 9121. The inclination angle of the positioning bevel 9121 is the same as the inclination angle of the bevel on the outer periphery of the positioning connector 3521. Thus, the positioning bevel 9121 can guide the positioning connector 3521, further improving the smoothness of the insertion of the positioning connector 3521 and improving the reliability of the charging plug-in assembly 30.

[0156] A plurality of limiting posts 353 are provided on one side of the connector panel 354. The plurality of limiting posts 353 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connector panel 354. The deflecting platform 341 has a limiting hole 342. The limiting posts 353 pass through the limiting hole 342. Through the sliding engagement of the limiting posts 353 and the limiting hole 342, the buffer structure 36 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the limiting posts 353. The buffer structure 36 is constructed to be deformable when the charging connector 351 is engaged with the charging port 911.

[0157] The plug-in module 35 is also equipped with an identification component 37, which includes a rangefinder 371, an image acquisition device 372, and an illumination device 373.

[0158] When it is necessary to charge the external device 90, the external device 90 is placed on the seat 20. The external device 90 drives the trigger 232 to move to the second position, the trigger switch 231 is closed, the moving platform 40 and the active component 301 are powered on and can be moved, and the identification component 37 is working.

[0159] Multiple rangefinders 371 detect the distance between the connector panel 354 of the plug-in module 35 and the charging panel 91. When the distance is too large, the movable module 301 moves to drive the plug-in module 35 to adjust the distance value to a predetermined range. When the distances detected by the multiple rangefinders 371 are different, it is found that the connector panel 354 has an angle with the charging panel 91 (i.e., the connector panel 354 and the charging panel 91 are not parallel). The movable module 301 moves to drive the plug-in module 35 to adjust the connector panel 354 to a position parallel to the charging panel 91. At this time, the connector panel 354 and the charging panel 91 are arranged approximately opposite each other in the first direction F1.

[0160] The image acquisition device 372 obtains the offset between the center of the positioning pin 352 and the center of the positioning hole 912 on the external device 90 by taking pictures and comparing. When the offset is greater than a certain value, the recognition component 37 transmits the offset to the activity module 301 in real time. The activity module 301 performs an activity to adjust the position of the plug-in module 35 until the acquired offset is zero. At this time, the center of the positioning pin 352 coincides with the center of the positioning hole 912 or is within the centering error range.

[0161] Therefore, by using vision and distance measurement, the charging posture of the plug-in module 35 is actively adjusted. At this time, the moving module 301 is further controlled to move along the first direction F1 to perform the insertion and engagement of the positioning pin 352 and the positioning hole 912. A part of the positioning connector 3521 can extend into the positioning hole 912. As the moving module 301 drives the plug-in module 35 to continue moving forward along the first direction F1, the inclined surface of the positioning connector 3521 can slide relative to the end face of the positioning hole 912 through the cooperation of the end face of the positioning hole 912 and the positioning connector 3521. At this time, the second moving drive 3... When 21 and the third moving drive 331 stop working, the positioning connector 3521 can drive the positioning pin 352, the connector panel 354 and the charging connector 351 to move along the second direction F2 and the third direction F3 until the outer periphery of the positioning connector 3521 is fully inserted into the positioning hole 912. At this time, the center of the positioning pin 352 coincides with the center of the positioning hole 912, thereby ensuring that the charging connector 351 corresponds to the position of the charging port 911. The moving module 301 drives the insertion and removal module 35 to continue to move forward along the first direction F1 until the charging connector 351 is inserted into the charging port 911.

[0162] As the plug-in module 35 moves, the length of the portion of the charging connector 351 extending into the charging port 911 gradually increases until the length of the portion of the charging connector 351 extending into the charging port 911 is consistent with the depth inside the charging port 911. When the movable module 301 drives the plug-in module 35 to continue moving, the buffer structure 36 can deform, giving the plug-in module 35 floating space. This allows the charging connector 351 and the charging port 911 to make flexible contact, thereby preventing the charging connector 351 from continuing to extend into the charging port 911 and causing collision damage between the charging connector 351 and the charging port 911, reducing the failure rate and increasing the service life. At the same time, through the deformation of the buffer structure 36, the charging connector 351 can maintain a predetermined pressure, thereby improving the reliability of the cooperation between the charging connector 351 and the charging port 911, and thus enabling stable charging of the external device 90.
