Description

Automatic charging device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging technology, specifically to an automatic charging device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automatic charging devices often use mobile charging, where a mobile vehicle drives to the vicinity of the charging vehicle for charging. This mobile charging device requires an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) on-board automatic charging device, which is not only costly, but also requires extra time to find the location of the vehicle's charging port, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, it can only serve one parking space at a time, which is not flexible and has poor utilization. Technical issues

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic charging device. Technical solutions

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model proposes an automatic charging device, which is positioned between two parking spaces. The automatic charging device includes: two charging guns; a gun-collecting device, which includes two gun holders for holding the charging guns; a two-section connector, one end of which is connected to the charging gun and the other end of which is connected to a robotic arm, the two-section connector being detachable; and a robotic arm, which, after docking with the charging guns in the gun-collecting device via the two-section connector, controls the charging guns to automatically charge the vehicles on both sides.

[0006] The automatic charging device described above in this utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0007] Specifically, the aforementioned automatic charging device further includes a base, on which the gun-retracting device and the robotic arm are located.

[0008] Specifically, the two-section connector includes: a male connector connected to the robotic arm; and a female connector connected to the charging gun, with the male connector and the female connector interlocking with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the male connector is also connected to a demagnetizing electromagnet. When not energized, the male connector is attracted to the female connector through the demagnetizing electromagnet. When energized, the demagnetizing electromagnet demagnetizes the male connector, causing it to disconnect from the female connector.

[0010] Furthermore, the male head includes a cylindrical male head structure body, and the female head includes a female head structure body. The female head structure body has a cylindrical cavity inside, and the male head structure body is precisely embedded in the cavity. Beneficial effects

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention places an automatic charging device between two parking spaces. The robotic arm can automatically provide the charging gun in the charging gun collection device to the vehicle on the left or right according to the location of the charging port. This allows a single automatic charging device to serve parking spaces on both sides, which not only maximizes the utilization of the charging device but also allows vehicles parked in different directions (front or rear) to be charged.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an automatic charging device according to one embodiment of the present utility model, and Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an automatic charging device according to another embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the automatic charging device is set between two parking spaces. The automatic charging device includes: a charging gun 1, a gun retraction device 2, a robotic arm 3, and a two-section connector.

[0019] The device includes two charging guns 1; the charging gun receiving device 2 includes two gun holders 21 for holding the charging guns 1; as shown in Figure 3, one end of the two-section connector is connected to the charging gun 1, and the other end of the two-section connector is connected to the robotic arm 3. The two-section connector can be separated, thereby separating the robotic arm from the charging gun; the robotic arm 3 is used to control the charging gun 1 to automatically charge the vehicles on both sides after docking with the charging gun 1 in the charging gun receiving device 2 through the two-section connector.

[0020] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1-2, after the vehicle is parked, the robotic arm 3 can connect to either of the two charging guns 21 via a two-section connector. After connection, the robotic arm connects the charging pin of the charging gun 21 to the vehicle's charging port to charge the vehicle. After the charging gun 21 is connected to the charging port, the robotic arm 3 is separated from the charging gun 1 via the two-section connector. As shown in Figure 1-2, the robotic arm 3 is rotatable and can provide charging services for vehicles on the left or right side. The robotic arms 3 are arranged crosswise on both sides of the multi-parking space, and a single robotic arm 3 can provide charging services for both sides of the parking space. The vehicle needs to be parked according to the location of the charging port, so that the vehicle's charging port is aligned with the position of the robotic arm 3. The vehicle can enter the parking space in either reverse or straight manner, so that the robotic arm 3 can charge the vehicle. Multiple vehicles can be assigned to the charging port for charging at the same time. The charging vehicle needs to be parked according to the location of the charging port, so that the vehicle's charging port is aligned with the position of the robotic arm 3. The front and rear positions of the vehicle's charging port are not restricted, so that the robotic arm 3 can charge the vehicle. Multiple vehicles can be assigned to the charging port and charged at the same time.

[0021] Therefore, this utility model places the automatic charging device between two parking spaces. The robotic arm can automatically provide the charging gun in the charging gun receiving device to the vehicle on the left or right according to the location of the charging port. This allows a single automatic charging device to serve parking spaces on both sides, which not only maximizes the utilization of the charging device, but also allows vehicles with different charging port locations to be charged in any parking space.

[0022] In this utility model, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the above-mentioned automatic charging device further includes: a base 4, a gun-retracting device 2, and a robotic arm 3 located on the base 1.

[0023] Furthermore, in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown in FIG3, the two-section connector 5 may include: a male head 51 and a female head 52, the male head 51 being connected to the robotic arm 3; the female head 52 being connected to the charging gun 1, and the male head 51 and the female head 52 being interlocked with each other.

[0024] As shown in Figure 4, the male connector 51 is also connected to a demagnetizing electromagnet 53. When not energized, the male connector 51 is attracted to the female connector 52 through the demagnetizing electromagnet 51. When energized, the demagnetizing electromagnet 53 demagnetizes the male connector 51, disconnecting it from the female connector 52. The male connector 51 includes a cylindrical male connector body 511, and the female connector 52 includes a female connector body 521. The female connector body 521 has a cylindrical cavity, and the male connector body 511 is perfectly embedded in the cavity.

[0025] In this utility model, the male connector is the active end and the female connector is the passive end, as an example.

[0026] In summary, according to the automatic charging device of this utility model, the automatic charging device is set between two parking spaces. The robotic arm can automatically provide the charging gun in the charging gun receiving device to the vehicle on the left or right according to the position of the charging port. Thus, a single automatic charging device can serve two parking spaces respectively. This not only maximizes the utilization of the charging device, but also allows vehicles parked in different directions (front or rear) to be charged.
