TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of self-moving devices, in particular to a charging base station and a self-moving combined device. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the development of device intelligence and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, lawn mowers have gradually developed into lawn robots that can automatically mow grass, automatically charge, and automatically clean. The lawn robot mows the grass in the designated area according to the user's settings, and returns to the base station to charge when the lawn robot is low on power or completes the mowing task.

[0004] Currently, the lawn robot returns to the base station usually adopts an infrared transmitting and receiving mode, that is, a light receiver group is arranged on the lawn robot, and a light emitter group is arranged on the base station. The lawn robot receives the light signal emitted by the light emitter group through the light receiver group to find the base station and return to the base station. However, the current lawn robot needs a long time to find and return to the base station from the periphery of the base station. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a charging base station and a self-moving combined device to improve the efficiency of the self-moving device returning to the charging base station.

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging base station, the charging base station comprising:

[0007] a charging pile, wherein the charging pile is internally provided with a power supply assembly;

[0008] A positioning device is arranged on the charging pile and electrically connected with the power supply assembly, and is used for positioning when the self-moving device is returned to charge. The positioning device comprises a first light emitter, a second light emitter and a light emitting assembly. The light emitting directions of the first light emitter, the second light emitter and the light emitting assembly are towards the same side of the charging pile. The light emitting assembly is located between the first light emitter and the second light emitter, and the light emitting assembly is arranged in a staggered manner with the first light emitter and the second light emitter in the light emitting direction.

[0009] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a self-moving combined device, which comprises:

[0010] The charging base station as described in the first aspect;

[0011] The self-moving device has two spaced light receivers. The self-moving device is used for receiving the light signals emitted by the first light emitter, the second light emitter and the light emitting assembly through the two light receivers to return to the charging base station to charge.

[0012] In summary, the charging base station and the self-moving combined device comprising the charging base station provided by the embodiments of the present application are provided. The first light emitter of the charging base station forms a first signal area. The first signal area formed by the first light emitter generates a first light signal. The second light emitter forms a second signal area. The second signal area formed by the second light emitter generates a second light signal. The light emitting assembly forms a third signal area. The third signal area formed by the light emitting assembly generates a third light signal. The first signal area and the second signal area are used for the self-moving device to determine that it has arrived at the peripheral position of the charging pile. The third signal area is used for the self-moving device to determine that it has arrived at the position directly opposite the charging pile. The self-moving device determines its current position relative to the charging pile according to the received light signal, and moves to the charging pile along the optimal path according to the current position. For example, when the self-moving device enters the first signal area, the self-moving device receives the first light signal. The self-moving device can determine its current position according to the first light signal, i.e. the first signal area. The self-moving device can continue to move towards the direction close to the third signal area. When the self-moving device enters the third signal area, the self-moving device receives the third light signal. The self-moving device can determine that it is currently at the position directly opposite the charging pile according to the third light signal. The self-moving device can move towards the direction close to the charging pile, thereby improving the efficiency of the self-moving device returning to the charging pile.

It should be noted that the specific description of each embodiment requires reference to at least one drawing file, and the omission of specific drawing files is not intended to limit the embodiments.

[0039] The terms "first," "second," "a," "another," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0040] Please refer to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging base station 100, please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 23 in combination, the charging base station 100 and the self-moving device 200 combine to form a self-moving combination device 1, wherein the self-moving device 200 can be a lawn mower robot, the charging base station 100 is used for charging the self-moving device 200, and the self-moving combination device 1 can further include more functional structures. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the charging base station 100 can also flush, dry and the like for the self-moving device 200. It should be noted that the self-moving device 200 at least includes a vehicle body 201, a wheel 202, a mowing mechanism (not shown in the figure) and the like, the vehicle body 201 moves through the wheel 202, the mowing mechanism is installed on the vehicle body 201, and the mowing mechanism is used for mowing operation, which will not be described here in the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the charging base station 100 includes a charging pile 10 and a positioning device 20.

[0042] The charging pile 10 is provided with a power supply assembly (not shown in the figure). The positioning device 20 is arranged on the charging pile 10 and is electrically connected with the power supply assembly. The positioning device 20 is used for positioning when the self-moving device 200 is returned to charge. The power supply assembly supplies power to the positioning device 20 and is used for charging the self-moving device 200. The positioning device 20 includes a first light emitter 21, a second light emitter 22, and a light emitting assembly 23. The light emitting directions of the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, and the light emitting assembly 23 are towards the same side of the charging pile 10. The light emitting assembly 23 is located between the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22, and the light emitting assembly 23 is arranged in a staggered manner with the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 in the light emitting direction. The first light emitter 21 forms a first signal area 211, which generates a first light signal. The second light emitter 22 forms a second signal area 221, which generates a second light signal. The light emitting assembly 23 forms a third signal area 231. The first signal area 211 and the second signal area 221 are used for the self-moving device 200 to determine that it has reached the peripheral position of the charging pile 10. The third signal area 231 is used for the self-moving device 200 to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite the charging pile 10. The first signal area 211 and the third signal area 231 cooperate to be used for the self-moving device 200 to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite the charging pile 10, and another part is located at the peripheral position of the charging pile 10. The second signal area 221 and the third signal area 231 cooperate to be used for the self-moving device 200 to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite the charging pile 10, and another part is located at the peripheral position of the charging pile 10. Each signal area can be understood as the area that can be reached by the light signal emitted by the corresponding light emitter or emitting assembly. Each signal area is approximately a sector. The peripheral position can be approximately understood as the position of the left side, the left front side, the right side, and the right front side of the charging pile 10. The position directly opposite the charging pile 10 is not an absolute position directly opposite the charging pile 10 between the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10. A certain angle, for example, less than 10° or less than 15°, between them can also be understood as the position directly opposite the charging pile 10.

[0043] The approximate process of the self-moving device 200 returning to the charging base station 100 is described below in combination with FIG. 4. The first signal area 211 formed by the first light emitter 21 generates a first light signal, the second signal area 221 formed by the second light emitter 22 generates a second light signal, and the third signal area 231 formed by the light emitting assembly 23 generates a third light signal. The self-moving device 200 determines its current position relative to the charging pile 10 according to the light signal received thereby, and moves to the charging pile 10 along the optimal path according to the current position. For example, when the self-moving device 200 enters the first signal area 211, the self-moving device 200 receives the first light signal, and determines its current position, i.e., the first signal area 211, according to the first light signal. The self-moving device 200 can continue to move in the direction close to the third signal area 231 along the shortest path. When the self-moving device 200 enters the third signal area 231, the self-moving device 200 receives the third light signal, and determines that it is in the position directly in front of the charging pile 10 according to the third light signal. The self-moving device 200 can move in the direction close to the charging pile 10, thereby improving the efficiency of the self-moving device 200 returning to the charging pile 10.

[0044] The charging base station 100 of the embodiments of the present application determines the current position of the self-moving device 200 relative to the charging pile 10 according to the light signal received thereby, and moves to the charging pile 10 along the optimal path according to the current position, thereby improving the efficiency of the self-moving device 200 returning to the charging base station 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, in order to provide reliable and stable support for the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10, the charging base station 100 further comprises a base 50. The base 50 is used to park the self-moving device 200, and the base 50 is also used to arrange the charging pile 10. The charging pile 10 is specifically arranged at one end of the base 50, and the self-moving device 200 moves to the base 50 from the other end of the base 50 when returning to the charging base station 100. The base 50 can provide reliable and stable support for the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10. Specifically, the base 50 can include a body 51 and two stoppers 52. The two stoppers 52 are arranged at one end of the body 51 in a spaced manner. The charging pile 10 is arranged at one end of the body 51 and located between the two stoppers 52. One side of the stopper 52 facing the self-moving device 200 is substantially planar, and the other side of the stopper 52 away from the self-moving device 200 is substantially inclined, so as to provide stable support for the self-moving device 200. In this way, when the self-moving device 200 moves to the body 51 of the base 50, the self-moving device 200 is limited by the two stoppers 52, thereby avoiding the self-moving device 200 from colliding with the charging pile 10.

[0046] It can be understood that in other embodiments, a plurality of spray heads (not shown in the figure) for spraying water can also be installed on the body 51, and correspondingly, the upper surface of the body 51 can be provided in a grid shape. In this way, by providing a plurality of spray heads on the body 51, the self-moving device 200 can be washed, and by providing the upper surface of the body 51 in a grid shape, on the one hand, the friction between the body 51 and the self-moving device 200 can be increased, and on the other hand, the self-moving device 200 can be stably parked on the body 51 when washing the self-moving device 200, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to drain water and silt and ensure the cleanliness of the body 51.

[0047] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 includes an intermediate body 11, a first extension body 12, and a second extension body 13. The intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 are all arranged above the base 50, the first extension body 12 is connected to one end of the intermediate body 11, the second extension body 13 is connected to the other end of the intermediate body 11 and is arranged opposite to the first extension body 12, and the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 both extend along the light emission direction of the positioning device 20. The intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 roughly form a U-shaped clamping arm, and when the self-moving device 200 returns to the charging base 100, it is located in the space enclosed by the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13, thereby forming a clamping force on the self-moving device 200. On the one hand, it avoids the side leaning of the self-moving device 200 and can guide the self-moving device 200, and on the other hand, it improves the reliability of the self-moving device 200 when charging. It can be understood that the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 can all be hollow structures, that is, the interiors of the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 are connected and can be threaded, and electrical elements can be installed.

[0048] Among them, the first light emitter 21 is arranged at one end of the first extension body 12 away from the intermediate body 11 and forms a first signal area 211, the second light emitter 22 is arranged at one end of the second extension body 13 away from the intermediate body 11 and forms a second signal area 221, and the light emission assembly 23 is arranged on the intermediate body 11 and forms a third signal area 231. The first signal area 211 and the second signal area 221 are roughly symmetrical about the third signal area 231. In this way, by arranging the above-mentioned intermediate body 11, first extension body 12, and second extension body 13, the light emission assembly 23, the first light emitter 21, and the second light emitter 22 are arranged in a staggered manner in the light emission direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 further comprises a first support body 15 and a second support body 16, which are arranged at one end of the body 51 of the base 50 and between the two stoppers 52, and are respectively connected with the two ends of the intermediate body 11. The first support body 15 and the second support body 16 are both connected with the intermediate body 11, and are oppositely arranged, and are both below the intermediate body 11. The first support body 15 and the second support body 16 can also be hollow structures, and are both in communication with the intermediate body 11 and can be used for threading, installing electrical components, etc. In this way, by arranging the first support body 15 and the second support body 16, the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are supported, so that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are relatively suspended at a high position, and can be away from the ground, avoiding the water on the ground from entering the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 to cause damage to the light emitters and other devices, and improving the protection performance of the charging base station 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 further comprises a containing body 17 arranged at one end of the body 51 of the base 50 and between the first support body 15 and the second support body 16. The containing body 17 can be used for containing power supply components, and is also used for abutting against the self-moving device 200, and is below the intermediate body 11. The containing body 17 can also be a hollow structure, and both ends of the containing body 17 are in communication with the first support body 15 and the second support body 16, and the containing body 17 can be used for installing power supply components, threading, installing electrical components, etc. In this way, by arranging the containing body 17, the power supply components can be contained and the self-moving device 200 can be abutted against. In addition, other structures such as a drying mechanism, etc. can be arranged on the containing body 17, which is beneficial to increasing the expansibility of the charging base station 100. By arranging the containing body 17, the containing body 17, the first support body 15 and the second support body 16 together can also improve the stability of the charging pile 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, the light emitting assembly 23 comprises a third light emitter 234 and a fourth light emitter 235 arranged at intervals, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are arranged at intervals in the intermediate body 11 and form a first sub-signal area 232 and a second sub-signal area 233 respectively, the first sub-signal area 232 and the second sub-signal area 233 combine to form a third signal area 231 approximately, wherein the edge line of the first sub-signal area 232 close to the second sub-signal area 233 and the edge line of the second sub-signal area 233 close to the first sub-signal area 232 are configured to be parallel or close to parallel, which can also be understood as the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are parallel or close to parallel. It should be noted that since the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are both approximately fan-shaped propagation, the parallel and close to parallel here are not absolute parallel, and the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 will still intersect after a certain distance of propagation, and since the area moved by the self-moving device 200 is limited, the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 can still be understood as close to parallel within the area that the self-moving device 200 can move. It can be understood that the self-moving device 200 has two light receivers 203 arranged at intervals, and the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals emitted by the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, and the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 of the light emitting assembly 23 through the two light receivers 203 to return to the charging base station 100 for recharging.

[0052] In this way, by arranging the light emitting assembly 23 to comprise the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235, and configuring the edge line of the first sub-signal area 232 close to the second sub-signal area 233 and the edge line of the second sub-signal area 233 close to the first sub-signal area 232 to be parallel or close to parallel, i.e. the two adjacent light signals of the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are parallel or close to parallel, the first sub-signal area 232 and the second sub-signal area 233 have substantially no overlapping area, the first sub-signal area 232 will generate a first sub-light signal, and the second sub-signal area 233 will generate a second sub-light signal, when the self-moving device 200 moves to the third signal area 231, when the two light receivers 203 on the self-moving device 200 receive the first sub-light signal and the second sub-light signal respectively, the self-moving device 200 judges that it is located in front of the charging pile 10, and the self-moving device 200 can move straight to the charging pile 10, thereby improving the efficiency of the self-moving device 200 returning to the charging pile 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the emission angle of the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 ranges from 70° to 90°, the emission angle of the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 ranges from 5° to 30°, and the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 can all be infrared emitters. In this way, by limiting the emission angles of the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235, the signal area formed by the combination of each light emitter can cover a larger range of areas around the charging pile 10, so that the mobile device 200 can have a larger range of movement.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5-8, the light emitting assembly 23 further comprises a mounting member 24 disposed on the intermediate body 11. The mounting member 24 is generally arc-shaped, and one end of the mounting member 24 is provided with two spaced apart light emitting holes 246. The third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are disposed at the end of the mounting member 24 away from the two light emitting holes 246 and correspond to the two light emitting holes 246 one by one. The light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are emitted through the corresponding light emitting holes 246, respectively. The shielding portion 247 is used to partially shield the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235, so that the first sub-signal area 232 formed by the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 through the corresponding light emitting hole 246 is close to the edge line of the second sub-signal area 233, and the second sub-signal area 233 formed by the light signals emitted by the fourth light emitter 235 through the corresponding light emitting hole 246 is close to the edge line of the first sub-signal area 232, which are parallel or close to parallel.

[0055] Specifically, the other end of the mounting piece 24 is provided with two mounting holes 245 arranged at intervals, the mounting piece 24 is provided with a first exit channel 241 and a second exit channel 242 arranged at intervals, the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 are separated by a partition plate 243, the two light emitting holes 246 and the two mounting holes 245 correspond one by one and respectively communicate with the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242, and the two mounting holes 245 are respectively used for adapting and mounting the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235. The light signal emitted by the third light emitter 234 enters the first exit channel 241 and is emitted through the first exit channel 241, and is partially shielded by the shielding part 247 and emitted through the corresponding light emitting hole 246. The light signal emitted by the fourth light emitter 235 enters the second exit channel 242 and is emitted through the second exit channel 242, and is partially shielded by the shielding part 247 and emitted through the corresponding light emitting hole 246. Wherein, the shielding part 247 is substantially a rectangular plate, the cross sections of the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 and the corresponding light emitting hole 246 are not the same through the shielding part 247, the part of the shielding part 247 located in the first exit channel 241 can partially shield the light signal emitted by the third light emitter 234, and the part of the shielding part 247 located in the second exit channel 242 can partially shield the light signal emitted by the fourth light emitter 235. In this way, by setting the mounting piece 24 and the shielding part 247 separating the two light emitting holes 246 on the mounting piece 24, the shielding part 247 partially shields the light signal emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the light signal emitted by the fourth light emitter 235, so that the first sub-signal area 232 formed by the light signal emitted by the third light emitter 234 through the corresponding light emitting hole 246 is close to the edge line of the second sub-signal area 233, and the second sub-signal area 233 formed by the light signal emitted by the fourth light emitter 235 through the corresponding light emitting hole 246 is close to the edge line of the first sub-signal area 232, which are parallel or close to parallel, that is, the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 through the shielding part 247 and the two light emitting holes 246 are parallel or close to parallel.

[0056] In some embodiments, the two opposite side surfaces of the shielding part 247 are substantially planar, that is, the respective adjacent hole walls of the two light emitting holes 246 are substantially planar, by setting the two opposite side surfaces of the shielding part 247 to be substantially planar, the side surfaces of the shielding part 247 shield the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235, so that the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are in a parallel or close to parallel direction.

[0057] In some embodiments, the walls of the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 are sawtooth-shaped, and the walls of the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 continuously reflect the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235, respectively, so that the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 can pass through the corresponding light emitting holes 246 substantially in parallel, and in cooperation with the partial shielding effect of the shielding part 247, the two adjacent light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are parallel or nearly parallel. It can be understood that the walls of the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 can also be wavy or other shapes that can continuously reflect light signals; or, optical elements can also be provided in the first exit channel 241 and the second exit channel 242 to adjust the light signals emitted by the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 so that they pass through the corresponding light emitting holes 246 substantially in parallel.

In this way, by arranging the mounting member 24, the third light emitter 234, and the fourth light emitter 235 in the receiving hole 111, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are protected, so that the light emitting assembly 23 has the effect of waterproof and dustproof, and at the same time, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are prevented from being damaged by the self-moving device 200. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the light emitting assembly 23 can also be arranged outside the intermediate body 11.

[0059] In some embodiments, the light emitting assembly 23 further comprises a first light-transmitting member 25 arranged in the intermediate body 11 and covering the receiving hole 111, wherein the first light-transmitting member 25 can be transparent glass, transparent plastic, or other light-transmitting objects. In this way, by arranging the above-mentioned first light-transmitting member 25, foreign matter such as dust and rainwater from the outside is prevented from entering the intermediate body 11 through the receiving hole 111 and damaging the light emitting assembly 23, thereby improving the protection performance of the charging base station 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, the light emitting assembly 23 further comprises a circuit board 26 electrically connected with the power supply assembly, the circuit board 26 is arranged in the accommodating hole 111, the mounting member 24 is arranged on the circuit board 26, the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 are electrically connected with the circuit board 26, wherein, the mounting member 24 is provided with two connecting columns 27 on the opposite sides, the mounting member 24 is provided with two anti-fumble columns 244 arranged in a diagonal staggered manner on the side facing the circuit board 26, the mounting member 24 is positioned with the circuit board 26 through the two anti-fumble columns 244 to prevent the mounting member 24 from being positioned incorrectly with the circuit board 26, and the mounting member 24 is connected with the circuit board 26 through the two connecting columns 27, specifically, the mounting member 24 and the circuit board 26 can be connected by means of screws passing through the connecting columns 27 to connect the mounting member 24 and the circuit board 26, in addition, the screws can further pass through the circuit board 26 to connect with the intermediate body 11, so that the mounting member 24 and the circuit board 26 are both connected with the intermediate body 11, and the light emitting assembly 23 is integrally installed in the intermediate body 11. In this way, by arranging the above-mentioned circuit board 26, first, the support of the mounting member 24, the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 is realized, second, the electrical connection with the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, the third light emitter 234 and the fourth light emitter 235 is realized, and third, the modularization of the light emitting assembly 23 is realized; by arranging the above-mentioned connecting columns 27 and anti-fumble columns 244, the mounting member 24 is connected with the circuit board 26, the connection of the mounting member 24 and the circuit board 26 is accurate, stable, simple and efficient, and the light emitting assembly 23 can be integrally installed in the intermediate body 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 is provided with a first light outlet hole 121 at one end away from the intermediate body 11, the second extension body 13 is provided with a second light outlet hole 131 at one end away from the intermediate body 11, the first light emitter 21 is arranged in the first light outlet hole 121, and the second light emitter 22 is arranged in the second light outlet hole 131. In this way, by arranging the first light emitter 21 in the first light outlet hole 121 of the first extension body 12 and the second light emitter 22 in the second light outlet hole 131 of the second extension body 13, the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 are protected from being damaged by the self-moving device 200 or other external devices.

[0062] It can be understood that the first light emitter 21 is arranged at the end of the first extension body 12 away from the intermediate body 11, which can also be understood as that the first light emitter 21 is located at the upper side, lower side, left side, right side or other peripheral side of the end of the first extension body 12. It can also be understood that the second light emitter 22 is arranged at the end of the second extension body 13 away from the intermediate body 11, which can also be understood as that the second light emitter 22 is located at the upper side, lower side, left side, right side or other peripheral side of the end of the second extension body 13. The specific arrangement can be set according to the actual situation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 can also be arranged obliquely, that is, the end of the first extension body 12 close to the intermediate body 11 is higher than the end of the first extension body 12 away from the intermediate body 11, and the end of the second extension body 13 close to the intermediate body 11 is higher than the end of the second extension body 13 away from the intermediate body 11. In this way, by arranging the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 obliquely, rainwater can flow along the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 obliquely to the ground, avoiding water accumulation on the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, and improving the waterproof performance of the charging base station 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, the distance between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 gradually increases from the end close to the intermediate body 11 to the end away from the intermediate body 11, so that the charging pile 10 is in a flared state. In this way, by limiting the gradually increasing distance between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, it is beneficial to make the self-moving device 200 enter between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13. In addition, when the self-moving device 200 is in an inclined or other incorrect state, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 can also guide and prevent the self-moving device 200 from falling over.

[0065] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 further comprises a first shielding piece 281 and a second shielding piece 282. The first shielding piece 281 is arranged in the first light emitting hole 121 and located in the light emitting path of the first light emitter 21, and is used for partially shielding the light signal emitted by the first light emitter 21. The second shielding piece 282 is arranged in the second light emitting hole 131 and located in the light emitting path of the second light emitter 22, and is used for partially shielding the light signal emitted by the second light emitter 22. The first shielding piece 281 and the second shielding piece 282 can each be provided with a crescent hole, and the hole wall close to the intermediate body 11 is a plane. In this way, by arranging the first shielding piece 281 and the second shielding piece 282, the light signal of the first light emitter 21 and the light signal of the second light emitter 22 are partially shielded, and the light signal of the first light emitter 21 and the light signal of the second light emitter 22 are emitted through the crescent hole, so that the first signal area 211 and the second signal area 221 do not have an overlapping area close to the charging pile 10, and the mobile device 200 does not receive the light signal of the first signal area 211 or the second signal area 221 when it is close to the charging pile 10 and located in the third signal area 231.

[0066] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 further comprises a second light-transmitting piece 291 and a third light-transmitting piece 292. The second light-transmitting piece 291 is arranged at one end of the first extension body 12 away from the intermediate body 11 and covers the first light emitting hole 121. The third light-transmitting piece 292 is arranged at one end of the second extension body 13 away from the intermediate body 11 and covers the second light emitting hole 131. The second light-transmitting piece 291 and the third light-transmitting piece 292 can be transparent glass, transparent plastic or other light-transmitting objects. In this way, by arranging the second light-transmitting piece 291 and the third light-transmitting piece 292, dust, rainwater and other impurities in the external environment are prevented from entering the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 through the first light emitting hole 121 and the second light emitting hole 131, thereby preventing damage to the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 and improving the protection performance of the charging base station 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, the charging base station 100 further comprises a first electrode assembly 30 and a second electrode assembly 40. The first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the side of the first extension body 12 facing the second extension body 13, and the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the side of the second extension body 13 facing the first extension body 12 and opposite to the first electrode assembly 30. Correspondingly, the self-moving device 200 is respectively provided with a third electrode assembly 204 and a fourth electrode assembly 205 on both sides thereof, and the self-moving device 200 is further provided with a battery 206 electrically connected to the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205, which is used to store electrical energy for the self-moving device 200 to walk, mow, receive signals, send signals, and the like. When the self-moving device 200 returns to the charging base station 100 by receiving the light signals emitted by the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22, the third light emitter 234, and the fourth light emitter 235 through the two light receivers 203, the third electrode assembly 204 is in contact with the first electrode assembly 30 to be electrically connected, and the fourth electrode assembly 205 is in contact with the second electrode assembly 40 to be electrically connected, thereby charging the self-moving device 200. In this way, by arranging the first electrode assembly 30 on the first extension body 12, the second electrode assembly 40 on the second extension body 13, and the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 on both sides of the self-moving device 200, the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 form a U-shaped clamping arm. When the self-moving device 200 returns to the charging pile 10, the charging pile 10 charges the battery 206 of the self-moving device 200 by being in contact with both sides of the self-moving device 200 to be electrically connected, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 keep a clamping force on the self-moving device 200, so that the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are clamped in contact with the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205, respectively, thereby improving the reliability of the self-moving device 200 during charging. In addition, by supporting the intermediate body 11, the first extension body 12, and the second extension body 13 by the first support body 15 and the second support body 16, the first extension body 12, the second extension body 13, the first electrode assembly 30, and the second electrode assembly 40 are arranged at a relatively high position, thereby avoiding the situation that the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are short-circuited when the ground is flooded, and improving the charging stability and reliability of the charging base station 100. The first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the first extension body 12, the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the second extension body 13, and the distance between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 is large, which can reduce the safety risk of mis-series connection between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 of the charging base station 100 and the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 charges the self-moving device 200.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 is configured to be telescopically arranged with respect to the first extension body 12, and the second electrode assembly 40 is configured to be telescopically arranged with respect to the second extension body 13. For example, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be arranged with respect to the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 by elastic members such as springs, torsion springs, etc., so that the first electrode assembly 30 is telescopically arranged with respect to the first extension body 12, and the second electrode assembly 40 is telescopically arranged with respect to the second extension body 13. In this way, by configuring the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 to be telescopically arranged with respect to the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 respectively, in the uncharged state, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are both exposed, and in the charged state, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are at least partially telescopically arranged inside the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13. Since the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are configured to be telescopically arranged, the first electrode assembly 30 can be in close contact with the third electrode assembly 204 under the elastic force of the telescopic arrangement, and the second electrode assembly 40 can be in close contact with the fourth electrode assembly 205 under the elastic force of the telescopic arrangement, so as to avoid the situation that the electrodes cannot be charged or are not in good contact due to poor contact between the electrodes, and to improve the charging stability of the self-moving combined device 1.

[0069] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can also be configured to be extended out of the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13 when the self-moving device 200 is charging, and to be accommodated in the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13 when the self-moving device 200 is not charging. For example, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be arranged in the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13 by electric telescopic arms, which are electrically connected to the power supply assembly. When the self-moving device 200 needs to be charged, the electric telescopic arms drive the corresponding first electrode assembly 30 and second electrode assembly 40 to extend out of the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13, so that the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are exposed to charge the self-moving device 200. When the self-moving device 200 is not charging, the electric telescopic arms drive the corresponding first electrode assembly 30 and second electrode assembly 40 to be accommodated in the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13, so as to have the effect of waterproofing and dustproofing the charging base station 100. It can be understood that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 can also be provided with corresponding electric doors for covering the corresponding first electrode assembly 30 and second electrode assembly 40 when the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are accommodated in the corresponding first extension body 12 and second extension body 13.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be arranged in an inclined manner, i.e. the end of the first electrode assembly 30 close to the intermediate body 11 is higher than the end of the second electrode assembly 40 away from the intermediate body 11, and the end of the second electrode assembly 40 close to the intermediate body 11 is higher than the end of the second electrode assembly 40 away from the intermediate body 11. In this way, by arranging the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 in an inclined manner, when the height of the corresponding electrode assembly on the self-moving device 200 changes, the corresponding electrode assembly on the self-moving device 200 can still contact the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, improving the versatility of the charging base station 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the end of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 away from the intermediate body 11 can be arranged as a slope. In this way, by arranging the end of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 away from the intermediate body 11 as a slope, when the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200 contact the corresponding first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be retracted inward.

[0072] Please refer to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, some embodiments of the present application provide a self-moving combination device 1 including the charging base station 100 and the self-moving device 200 as in the above embodiments, the charging base station 100 is used to charge the self-moving device 200, and the self-moving device 200 can be a lawn mower robot.

[0073] The self-moving device 200 has two spaced light receivers 203, and the self-moving device 200 is configured to receive the light signals emitted by the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22 and the light emitting assembly 23 through the two light receivers 203 to return to the charging base station 100 for charging. The first light emitter 21 forms a first signal area 211, the second light emitter 22 forms a second signal area 221, and the light emitting assembly 23 forms a third signal area 231. The self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the first signal area 211 or the second signal area 221 through at least one of the two light receivers 203 to determine that it has reached the peripheral position of the charging pile 10, and the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the third signal area 231 through both of the two light receivers 203 to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite to the charging pile 10. That is, the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the first signal area 211 through both of the two light receivers 203 to determine that it has reached the peripheral position of the charging pile 10, the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the second signal area 221 through both of the two light receivers 203 to determine that it has reached the peripheral position of the charging pile 10, the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the first signal area 211 and the third signal area 231 through the two light receivers 203 respectively to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite to the charging pile 10 partially and the peripheral position of the charging pile 10 partially, the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the second signal area 221 and the third signal area 231 through the two light receivers 203 respectively to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite to the charging pile 10 partially and the peripheral position of the charging pile 10 partially, and the self-moving device 200 receives the light signals of the third signal area 231 through both of the two light receivers 203 to determine that it has reached the position directly opposite to the charging pile 10.

[0074] For example, when the self-moving device 200 is in the first signal area 211, both light receivers 203 of the self-moving device 200 receive the light signal in the first signal area 211, the self-moving device 200 determines that it is in the first signal area 211 according to the received light signal, the self-moving device 200 moves towards the third signal area 231, when the self-moving device 200 moves to the third signal area 231, if one or both of the two light receivers 203 of the self-moving device 200 receive the light signal in the first signal area 211, the self-moving device 200 is not directly opposite the charging pile 10, the self-moving device 200 continues to move until both light receivers 203 of the self-moving device 200 receive the light signal of the third signal area 231, the self-moving device 200 is approximately opposite the charging pile 10, the self-moving device 200 moves towards the charging pile 10, further, when the two light receivers 203 of the self-moving device 200 receive the light signal of the first sub-signal area 232 and the second sub-signal area 233 respectively, the self-moving device 200 is opposite the charging pile 10, the self-moving device 200 moves towards the charging pile 10 until the self-moving device 200 returns to the charging pile 10.

[0075] The self-moving combination device 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the charging base station 100 is provided with the first light emitter 21, the second light emitter 22 and the light emitting assembly 23, the self-moving device 200 determines its current position relative to the charging pile 10 according to the received light signal, and moves to the charging pile 10 along the optimal path according to the current position, thereby improving the efficiency of the self-moving device 200 returning to the charging base station 100.

[0076] Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 9, the charging pile 10 provided by some embodiments of the present application can also avoid the short circuit of each electrode assembly caused by ground water or pile volume water.

[0077] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 comprises a housing, a first electrode assembly 30 and a second electrode assembly 40. The housing can also be understood as the pile body of the charging pile 10, and the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be understood as the electrodes of the charging pile 10. The housing comprises a middle body 11, a first extension body 12 and a second extension body 13, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are connected with the middle body 11, and the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are oppositely arranged, and the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are located on the same side of the middle body 11. The middle body 11, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 form a U-shaped clamping arm. The first extension body 12 is inclined, and the end of the first extension body 12 close to the middle body 11 is higher than the end of the first extension body 12 away from the middle body 11. The second extension body 13 is inclined, and the end of the second extension body 13 close to the middle body 11 is higher than the end of the second extension body 13 away from the middle body 11. The first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the side of the first extension body 12 facing the second extension body 13. The second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the side of the second extension body 13 facing the first extension body 12 and is oppositely arranged with the first electrode assembly 30, and the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are used to contact the self-moving device 200 to charge the self-moving device 200.

[0078] In this way, the charging pile 10 described above defines that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are both inclined, when it rains, the water flow formed by the rain (see the approximate flow direction of the water flow indicated by the dashed arrow in FIG. 9) can flow to the ground along the inclined direction of the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, and there will be no water accumulation on the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, thereby avoiding the short circuit of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, and ensuring the normal use of the charging pile 10.

[0079] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 can further comprise a third support body (not shown), a fourth support body (not shown) and a cover body (not shown), the third support body and the fourth support body are both located on the upper side of the middle body 11, the third support body and the fourth support body are both connected with the middle body 11, and the third support body and the fourth support body are oppositely arranged, the cover body is connected with the third support body and the fourth support body and is located directly above the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, and the cover body is used to cover the first extension body 12, the second extension body 13, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, and when the self-moving device 200 is charging, the cover body is also used to cover the self-moving device 200, thereby playing the effect of sun-shading and rain-shielding for the self-moving device 200, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40. The cover body can also be configured as a foldable and telescopic structure.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 has a first top surface 126 which is inclined downward from an end close to the intermediate body 11 to an end away from the intermediate body 11, and the second extension body 13 has a second top surface 136 which is inclined downward from an end close to the intermediate body 11 to an end away from the intermediate body 11, and the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136 can be flat surfaces. In this way, by defining the inclined directions of the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136, the downward inclination of the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 is achieved.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first top surface 126 can also be inclined downward from an end close to the second extension body 13 to an end away from the second extension body 13, and the second top surface 136 can also be inclined downward from an end close to the first extension body 12 to an end away from the first extension body 12, that is, the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136 can be understood as inclined surfaces which are inclined in two directions. In this way, by further defining the inclined directions of the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136, the water flow formed by the rainwater flows along the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136 to the side away from the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, avoiding the water flow formed by the rainwater flowing along the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136 to the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, and further improving the waterproof performance of the charging pile 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 has a first end surface 127 facing away from the intermediate body 11, and the first end surface 127 is inclined downward from top to bottom towards the intermediate body 11, and the second extension body 13 has a second end surface 137 facing away from the intermediate body 11, and the second end surface 137 is inclined downward from top to bottom towards the intermediate body 11. It can be understood that the first end surface 127 can be substantially perpendicular to the first top surface 126, and the second end surface 137 can be substantially perpendicular to the second top surface 136. In this way, by defining that the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137 are both inclined towards the intermediate body 11, when the water flow formed by the rainwater flows along the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136 to the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137, the water flow formed by the rainwater will directly flow to the ground under the action of gravity, and will not flow along the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137 to penetrate into the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 to cause short circuit and other damages to the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, ensuring that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 will not be short-circuited in a waterlogged environment.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 are arranged on the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137 respectively. When the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 are arranged on the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137, the water flow formed by the rainwater cannot flow along the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137, so that the rainwater cannot penetrate into the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 from the first end surface 127 and the second end surface 137 to cause short circuit and other damages to the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22, and the stable use of the first light emitter 21 and the second light emitter 22 is ensured.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 further has a first connecting arc surface 128 connected between the first top surface 126 and the first end surface 127, and the second extension body 13 further has a second connecting arc surface 138 connected between the second top surface 136 and the second end surface 137. In this way, by arranging the first connecting arc surface 128 and the second connecting arc surface 138, on the one hand, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are substantially in a rounded corner structure, so that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 cannot scratch the user, and on the other hand, the arc surface is more conducive to the flow of the water flow formed by the rainwater, so that the water flow formed by the rainwater can flow smoothly on the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13.

[0085] In some embodiments, the intermediate body 11 has a third top surface 112 connected with the first top surface 126 and the second top surface 136, and the third top surface 112 is inclined downward from an end away from the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 to an end close to the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13. In this way, by limiting the inclination direction of the third top surface 112 of the intermediate body 11, the water flow formed by the rainwater on the intermediate body 11 can flow along the inclined surface to the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, and then flow to the ground, so that the water accumulation on the intermediate body 11 is avoided. It can be understood that when the light emitting assembly 23 is arranged on the intermediate body 11, by arranging the inclination direction of the third top surface 112, the water accumulation on the intermediate body 11 can also be avoided, so that the light emitting assembly 23 is not damaged due to the penetration of the water into the intermediate body 11.

[0086] The self-moving combination device 1 provided by some embodiments of the present application comprises a base 50, the charging pile 10 as described in some embodiments above, and a self-moving device 200. The base 50 is used for parking the self-moving device 200 and for mounting the charging pile 10. The charging pile 10 is arranged at one end of the base 50. The opposite sides of the self-moving device 200 are provided with a third electrode assembly 204 and a fourth electrode assembly 205. When the self-moving device 200 is parked on the base 50, the third electrode assembly 204 is in contact with the first electrode assembly 30, and the fourth electrode assembly 205 is in contact with the second electrode assembly 40. The self-moving combination device 1 of some embodiments of the present application is characterized in that the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are both arranged in an inclined manner. When it rains, the water flow formed by the rain can flow along the inclined direction of the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 to the ground. No water accumulation occurs on the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, thereby avoiding the short circuit of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 and ensuring the normal use of the charging pile 10.

[0087] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11. The charging pile 10 provided by some embodiments of the present application has high versatility. The charging pile 10 can be used to charge self-moving devices 200 of different specifications.

[0088] The charging pile 10 of the embodiment comprises a shell, a first electrode assembly 30 and a second electrode assembly 40. The shell comprises a middle body 11, a first extension body 12 and a second extension body 13, the first extension body 12 is connected with one end of the middle body 11, the second extension body 13 is connected with the other end of the middle body 11 and is arranged opposite to the first extension body 12, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are located at the same side of the middle body 11, and the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are both in a suspended state, i.e., away from the ground. The first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the side of the first extension body 12 facing the second extension body 13, the first electrode assembly 30 is arranged in an inclined extension manner, the first electrode assembly 30 is substantially in a strip shape, and the end of the first electrode assembly 30 close to the middle body 11 is higher than the end of the first electrode assembly 30 away from the middle body 11. The side of the first extension body 12 facing the second extension body 13 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 123 matched with the first electrode assembly 30, one end of the first electrode assembly 30 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 123 of the first extension body 12, and the other end of the first electrode assembly 30 passes through the opening of the first accommodating cavity 123 to protrude from the first extension body 12. The second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the side of the second extension body 13 facing the first extension body 12, the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged in an inclined extension manner, the second electrode assembly 40 is substantially in a strip shape, and the end of the second electrode assembly 40 close to the middle body 11 is higher than the end of the second electrode assembly 40 away from the middle body 11. The side of the second extension body 13 facing the first extension body 12 is provided with a third accommodating cavity 133 matched with the second electrode assembly 40, one end of the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged in the third accommodating cavity 133 of the second extension body 13, and the other end of the second electrode assembly 40 passes through the opening of the third accommodating cavity 133 to protrude from the second extension body 13. It can be understood that the middle body 11, the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are supported by the first support body 15 and the second support body 16, which is also beneficial to leaving space for the inclined extension of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40.

[0089] Therefore, the charging pile 10 has the following advantages. Firstly, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are both inclinedly arranged, which increases the length of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, and thus increases the contact area of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, so that the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 on the self-moving device 200 can be in contact with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 to be conductive. Secondly, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are both inclinedly arranged in the height direction, so that the electrode assemblies on the self-moving devices 200 of different specifications can be in contact with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 to be conductive, thereby improving the versatility of the charging pile 10.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are both substantially trapezoidal blocks. Specifically, the first electrode assembly 30 has a first inclined surface 31 facing away from the intermediate body 11, and the first inclined surface 31 is inclined towards the intermediate body 11 from one end away from the second extension body 13 to one end close to the second extension body 13. The second electrode assembly 40 has a second inclined surface 41 facing away from the intermediate body 11, and the second inclined surface 41 is inclined towards the intermediate body 11 from one end away from the first extension body 12 to one end close to the first extension body 12. In this way, by arranging the first inclined surface 31 and the second inclined surface 41 on the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 respectively, when the self-moving device 200 moves between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, the self-moving device 200 can abut against the first inclined surface 31 and the second inclined surface 41 to make the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 retract into the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13, so that the self-moving device 200 can smoothly contact and conduct with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 has a first contact plane 32 facing the second extension body 13, and the second electrode assembly 40 has a second contact plane 42 facing the second extension body 13. In this way, by arranging the first contact plane 32 and the second contact plane 42, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be in contact with the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200 to be conductive. In addition, the first contact plane 32 and the second contact plane 42 have a large contact plane, so that the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are more stable in contact with the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the charging pile 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 further has a first arc surface 33 connected between the first inclined surface 31 and the first contact plane 32, and the second electrode assembly 40 further has a second arc surface 43 connected between the second inclined surface 41 and the second contact plane 42. In this way, by providing the first arc surface 33 and the second arc surface 43, it is beneficial for the self-moving device 200 to smoothly transition from the first inclined surface 31 and the second inclined surface 41 to the first contact plane 32 and the second contact plane 42. It can be understood that the first arc surface 33 and the second arc surface 43 can also be inclined surfaces.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 further has a third inclined surface 34 facing the intermediate body 11, and the third inclined surface 34 is symmetrically arranged with the first inclined surface 31. The second electrode assembly 40 further has a fourth inclined surface 44 facing the intermediate body 11, and the fourth inclined surface 44 is symmetrically arranged with the second inclined surface 41. The third inclined surface 34 and the first contact plane 32 can also be connected by an arc surface, and the fourth inclined surface 44 and the second contact plane 42 can also be connected by an arc surface. In this way, by providing the third inclined surface 34 and the fourth inclined surface 44 on the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 respectively, when the self-moving device 200 contacts the third inclined surface 34 and the fourth inclined surface 44 at a deeper position of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 due to the higher or deeper position of the electrode assembly, when the self-moving device 200 exits the charging pile 10, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be retracted into the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 by abutting against the third inclined surface 34 and the fourth inclined surface 44, so as to facilitate the smooth exit of the self-moving device 200 from the charging pile 10, and it is beneficial to further improve the versatility of the charging pile 10.

[0094] Some embodiments of the present application provide a self-moving combined device 1, which includes a base 50, a charging pile 10 as described in some embodiments above, and a self-moving device 200. The base 50 is used to dock the self-moving device 200 and install the charging pile 10. The charging pile 10 is arranged at one end of the base 50, the first support body 15, the containing body 17, and the second support body 16 are arranged at one end of the base 50. The opposite sides of the self-moving device 200 have a third electrode assembly 204 and a fourth electrode assembly 205. When the self-moving device 200 is docked on the base 50, the third electrode assembly 204 is in contact and conduction with the first electrode assembly 30, and the fourth electrode assembly 205 is in contact and conduction with the second electrode assembly 40.

[0095] The self-moving combined device 1 of some embodiments of the present application, the charging pile 10 is provided with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, which are both inclinedly extended. In the first aspect, the length of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 is increased, thereby increasing the contactable area of the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40. The third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 on the self-moving device 200 can be in contact with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40, respectively, to be conductive. In the second aspect, when the height positions of the electrodes on the self-moving devices 200 of different specifications are different, the electrodes on the self-moving devices 200 of different specifications can be in contact with the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 to be conductive, because the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are inclinedly arranged in the height direction. Therefore, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be in contact with the electrodes of the self-moving devices 200 of different specifications to be conductive, thereby improving the versatility of the charging pile 10.

[0096] Please refer to FIGS. 12-21, the charging base station 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes a power line (not shown), a charging pile 10 and an electrode assembly. The power line is used for external power supply, and can be electrically connected with the power supply assembly, or the power line can be part of the power supply assembly, or the power line is the power supply assembly.

[0097] In some embodiments, the charging pile 10 includes a support part and a surrounding part connected to the support part and extending towards one side. Specifically, the surrounding part extends along the light emission direction of the positioning device 20. The surrounding part includes a first extension body 12 and a second extension body 13, and the support part includes a first support body 15 and a second support body 16. The first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 extend along one side of the first direction, and the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are arranged in the second direction. The support part and the surrounding part form a containing space 14 which is open at least towards the first direction. The containing space 14 has a first sub-space 141 for accommodating the self-moving device 200, and has a second sub-space 142 for spacing the self-moving device 200 from the charging pile 10. The second sub-space 142 is in communication with the first sub-space 141 and arranged along the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the light emission direction of the positioning device 20. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode assembly 30 and a second electrode assembly 40. The first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the first extension body 12, and the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the second extension body 13. The first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 are arranged oppositely in the first sub-space 142.

[0098] The first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are both supported by the support part, the first extension body 12 extends along one side of the first direction, including: the first extension body 12 extends completely along the first direction, or the first extension body 12 has a component extending along the first direction. The second extension body 13 extends along the first direction, including: the second extension body 13 extends along the first direction, or the second extension body 13 has a component extending along the second direction. Therefore, the relationship between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 includes: the extension line of the first extension body 12 is parallel to the extension line of the second extension body 13; or the extension line of the first extension body 12 intersects the extension line of the second extension body 13.

[0099] The second sub-space 142 is away from the intermediate body 11 compared with the first sub-space 141. When the charging pile 10 charges the self-moving device 200, the self-moving device 200 is located in the first sub-space 141, and the second sub-space 142 is between the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10. That is, when the charging pile 10 charges the self-moving device 200, the second sub-space 142 is between the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10, rather than completely adhering to the charging pile 10.

[0100] In addition, when the charging pile 10 is used to charge the self-moving device 200, the second sub-space 142 is between the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10, which can facilitate the charging pile 10 and the self-moving device 200 to dissipate heat from the second sub-space 142 when the charging pile 10 charges the self-moving device 200, thereby reducing or even avoiding thermal damage to the charging pile 10 and the self-moving device 200 caused by heat accumulation when the charging pile 10 charges the self-moving device 200. In addition, when the charging pile 10 is abnormal, for example, the components on the charging base station 100 or the self-moving device 200 adjacent to the second sub-space 142 are on fire, since the charging base station 100 and the self-moving device 200 have the second sub-space 142, the self-moving device 200 or the charging base station 100 is also not easy to be damaged.

[0101] The charging base station 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application has a support part and a surrounding part forming a containing space 14 open at least towards a first direction. When the charging base station 100 is charging the self-moving device 200, a first sub-space 141 of the containing space 14 in the charging base station 100 accommodates the self-moving device 200, and the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 located in the first sub-space 141 are for the self-moving device 200. Therefore, the charging stability of the charging base station 100 when charging the self-moving device 200 is higher. In addition, since the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 are oppositely and spacedly arranged, the first electrode assembly 30 is arranged on the first extension body 12, and the second electrode assembly 40 is arranged on the second extension body 13, therefore, the distance between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 is larger, which can reduce the safety risk of mis-series connection between the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100 and the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 is charging the self-moving device 200. In addition, when the charging pile 10 is used to charge the self-moving device 200, the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10 have a second sub-space 142 therebetween, which can facilitate the heat dissipation of the charging pile 10 and the self-moving device 200 from the second sub-space 142 when the charging pile 10 is charging the self-moving device 200, thereby reducing or even avoiding the thermal damage to the charging pile 10 and the self-moving device 200 caused by the heat accumulation when the charging pile 10 is charging the self-moving device 200. In addition, when the charging pile 10 is abnormal, for example, the components on the charging base station 100 or the self-moving device 200 adjacent to the second sub-space 142 are on fire, since the charging base station 100 and the self-moving device 200 have the second sub-space 142, the self-moving device 200 or the charging base station 100 is also not easily damaged.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 has a first end and a second end oppositely arranged, and the first end is adjacent to the support part compared to the second end. The second extension body 13 has a third end and a fourth end oppositely arranged, and the third end is adjacent to the support part compared to the fourth end. In the direction from the first end to the second end, the distance between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 gradually increases.

[0103] The first end of the first extension body 12 is the end inside the first extension body 12, and the second end of the first extension body 12 is the end outside the first extension body 12. The third end of the second extension body 13 is the end inside the second extension body 13, and the fourth end of the second extension body 13 is the end outside the second extension body 13. In the direction from the first end to the second end, the distance between the first extension body 12 and the second extension body 13 gradually increases. Therefore, the charging base station 100 can be adapted to charge self-moving devices 200 of different widths.

[0104] Further, the first electrode assembly 30 is movable in a direction towards the first extension body 12 and is returnable in a direction away from the first extension body 12. The second electrode assembly 40 is movable in a direction towards the second extension body 13 and is returnable in a direction away from the second extension body 13.

[0105] The first electrode assembly 30 is movable in a direction towards the first extension body 12 and is returnable in a direction away from the first extension body 12. The second electrode assembly 40 is movable in a direction towards the second extension body 13 and is returnable in a direction away from the second extension body 13. Therefore, the charging base station 100 is adaptable to charge self-moving devices 200 of different widths. For example, when the self-moving device 200 has a wider size, the first electrode assembly 30 is movable in a larger size in a direction towards the first extension body 12 and the second electrode assembly 40 is movable in a larger size in a direction towards the second extension body 13 when the electrode assemblies of the self-moving device 200 abut against the electrode assemblies of the charging base station 100. Accordingly, when the self-moving device 200 has a narrower size, the first electrode assembly 30 is movable in a smaller size in a direction towards the first extension body 12 and the second electrode assembly 40 is movable in a smaller size in a direction towards the second extension body 13 when the electrode assemblies of the self-moving device 200 abut against the electrode assemblies of the charging base station 100. In addition, since the first electrode assembly 30 is movable in a direction towards the first extension body 12 and is returnable in a direction away from the first extension body 12. The second electrode assembly 40 is movable in a direction towards the second extension body 13 and is returnable in a direction away from the second extension body 13. Therefore, when the electrode assemblies of the charging base station 100 can better abut against the electrode assemblies of the self-moving device 200 to improve the yield of contact when the charging base station 100 charges the self-moving device 200, the charging effect is improved.

[0106] The first extension body 12 has a first inner side surface 122 facing the second extension body 13, and the first electrode assembly 30 is exposed to the first inner side surface 122. The second extension body 13 has a second inner side surface 132 facing the second extension body 13, and the second electrode assembly 40 is exposed to the second inner side surface 132. In this way, the first electrode assembly 30 is exposed to the first inner side surface 122, and the second electrode assembly 40 is exposed to the second inner side surface 132, thereby facilitating the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 to abut against the electrode assemblies of the self-moving device 200, improving the yield of contact when the charging base station 100 charges the self-moving device 200, and improving the charging effect.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 has a first accommodating cavity 123 with an opening on the first inner side surface 122, and the first electrode assembly 30 includes a first mounting frame 35, a first electrode sheet 36, and a first reset member 37. The first mounting frame 35 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 123. The first electrode sheet 36 is carried on the first mounting frame 35, and the first electrode sheet 36 is adapted to be sleeved on the first mounting frame 35 and electrically connected with the power supply assembly. The first reset member 37 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 123, and the first reset member 37 is deformable. When the first electrode sheet 36 is subjected to a pressing force, the first reset member 37 is compressed, and the first mounting frame 35 moves towards the first extension body 12. When the pressing force is removed, the first reset member 37 is elongated, and the first mounting frame 35 moves away from the first extension body 12 to reset. It can be understood that each surface of the first electrode assembly 30 can be understood as each surface of the first electrode sheet 36, and the first reset member 37 can be but is not limited to a structure member that has elasticity, can be compressed, and can reset. The first reset member 37 can be a spring, or a rubber ring, etc.

[0108] Thus, when the first electrode sheet 36 is subjected to a pressing force, the first electrode sheet 36 conducts the pressing force to the first mounting frame 35, and the first mounting frame 35 conducts the pressing force to the first reset member 37, so that the first reset member 37 is compressed. The first reset member 37 is compressed, driving the first mounting frame 35 and the first electrode sheet 36 arranged on the first mounting frame 35 to move towards the first extension body 12. When the pressing force is removed, the first reset member 37 is elongated, driving the first mounting frame 35 to move away from the first extension body 12 when the first reset member 37 is elongated, and driving the first electrode sheet 36 carried on the first mounting frame 35 to reset. The first electrode assembly 30 has a simple structure and can move towards the first extension body 12 and can move away from the first extension body 12, so that the first electrode assembly 30 can better abut against the third electrode assembly 204 of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 charges the self-moving device 200, improving the contact yield of the charging base station 100 when charging the self-moving device 200, and improving the charging effect. In addition, the first electrode assembly 30 can also charge self-moving devices 200 with different widths.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 has a first column 124 located in the first accommodating cavity 123. The first mounting bracket 35 comprises a first mounting body 351 and a second column 352. The first mounting body 351 has a second accommodating cavity 3511. The second column 352 is connected to the first mounting body 351 and located in the second accommodating cavity 3511. Wherein, one end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the first column 124, and the other end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the second column 352. In this embodiment, taking the example that the first extension body 12 has two first columns 124 and the first mounting bracket 35 comprises two second columns 352. One end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the first column 124, and the other end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the second column 352. In this way, the first column 124 and the second column 352 can better play a fixing role on the first reset member 37.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first electrode assembly 30 is defined to have a front end and a rear end arranged opposite to each other. The front end of the first electrode assembly 30 refers to the end of the first electrode assembly 30 away from the intermediate body 11, and the rear end of the first electrode assembly 30 refers to the end of the first electrode assembly 30 close to the intermediate body 11. Since the first extension body 12 has the first column 124, the first mounting bracket 35 has the second column 352, one end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the first column 124, and the other end of the first reset member 37 is sleeved on the second column 352. In this way, when the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 is pressed, the rear end of the first electrode assembly 30 is raised, which can increase the distance between the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 and the front end of the second electrode assembly 40, and the third electrode assembly 204 of the self-moving device 200 can abut against the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 of the charging base station 100, so that the charging base station 100 is further applicable to the self-moving device 200 with a larger size, thereby making the charging base station 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application can charge the self-moving device 200 of more models and different widths. In addition, the rear end of the first electrode assembly 30 is raised, which can block the further movement of the self-moving device 200 towards the rear end of the first electrode assembly 30.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 further has a first guide groove 125 communicating with the first accommodating cavity 123. The first mounting bracket 35 further comprises a first guide protrusion 353. The first guide protrusion 353 is arranged on the first mounting body 351, and the first mounting bracket 35 and the first extension body 12 slide through cooperation of the first guide groove 125 and the first guide protrusion 353. In this way, by limiting the sliding of the first extension body 12 and the first mounting bracket 35 through cooperation of the first guide groove 125 and the first guide protrusion 353, the movement of the first mounting bracket 35 relative to the first extension body 12 is smoother.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first extension body 12 defines the top wall and the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 123 each with a first guide slot 125, and the first mounting frame 35 has two first guide protrusions 353 each slidingly fitted with one of the first guide slots 125. In this way, the smoothness of the movement of the first mounting frame 35 relative to the first extension body 12 can be improved.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first mounting frame 35 has an arc-shaped first guide surface facing away from the first extension body 12. When the electrode assembly of the mobile device 200 contacts the first mounting frame 35, the first mounting frame 35 drives the first electrode 36 to retract into the first accommodating cavity 123 through the first guide surface. Therefore, when the electrode assembly of the mobile device 200 contacts the first mounting frame 35, the electrode assembly of the mobile device 200 presses the first guide surface, so that the first mounting frame 35 retracts into the first accommodating cavity 123, thereby driving the first electrode sheet 36 disposed on the first mounting frame 35 to retract into the first accommodating cavity 123. As can be seen, the structure of the first mounting frame 35 has the arc-shaped first guide surface facing away from the first extension body 12, which can make the first mounting frame 35 more easily be pressed by the electrode assembly of the mobile device 200 to retract into the first accommodating cavity 123.

[0114] The second extension body 13 and the second electrode assembly 40 provided by some embodiments of the present application will be introduced below. The following introduction of the second extension body 13 and the second electrode assembly 40 can be combined into the charging base station 100 provided by any one of the above embodiments. In some embodiments, the structure of the second extension body 13 is substantially the same as that of the first extension body 12, and the structure of the second electrode assembly 40 is substantially the same as that of the first electrode assembly 30. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the structure of the second extension body 13 can also be different from that of the first extension body 12, and the structure of the second electrode assembly 40 can also be different from that of the first electrode assembly 30.

[0115] In some embodiments, the second extension 13 has a third receiving cavity 133 with an opening located on the second inner side 132. The second electrode assembly 40 includes a second mounting bracket 45, a second electrode sheet 46, and a second reset member 47. The second mounting bracket 45 is disposed in the third receiving cavity 133 of the second extension 13. The second electrode sheet 46 is supported on the second mounting bracket 45 and is adapted to be mounted on the second mounting bracket 45 and electrically connected to the power supply assembly. The second reset member 47 is disposed in the third receiving cavity 133. The second reset member 47 is deformable. When the second electrode sheet 46 is subjected to compressive force, the second reset member 47 is compressed, and the second mounting bracket 45 moves toward the second extension 13. When the compressive force is removed, the second reset member 47 extends, and the second mounting bracket 45 moves toward the direction away from the second extension 13 to reset. It can be understood that each surface of the second electrode assembly 40 can be understood as each surface of the second electrode sheet 46, and the second reset member 47 can be, but is not limited to, an elastic, compressible, and resettable structural member. The second reset component 47 can be a spring, or a rubber ring, etc.

[0116] Thus, when the second electrode plate 46 is subjected to compressive force, it transmits the compressive force to the second mounting bracket 45, which in turn transmits it to the second reset member 47, causing the reset member 47 to be compressed. This compression causes the second mounting bracket 45 and the second electrode plate 46 mounted on it to move towards the second extension body 13. When the compressive force is removed, the second reset member 47 extends, causing the second mounting bracket 45 to move away from the second extension body 13, and resetting the second electrode plate 46 mounted on it. The second electrode assembly 40 has a simple structure and can move both towards and away from the second extension body 13. Therefore, when the charging base station 100 charges the mobile device 200, the second electrode assembly 40 can better contact the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the mobile device 200, improving the contact yield and charging effect. In addition, the second electrode assembly 40 is also capable of charging self-moving devices 200 of different widths.

[0117] In some embodiments, the second extension 13 has a third column 134 located within a third receiving cavity 133. The second mounting bracket 45 includes a second mounting body 451 and a fourth column 452. The second mounting body 451 has a fourth receiving cavity 4511. The fourth column 452 is connected to the second mounting body 451 and located within the fourth receiving cavity 4511. One end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the third column 134, and the other end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the fourth column 452. In this embodiment, the second extension 13 has two third columns 134, and the second mounting bracket 45 includes two fourth columns 452 as an example. One end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the third column 134, and the other end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the fourth column 452. Thus, the third column 134 and the fourth column 452 can effectively fix the second reset member 47.

[0118] In some embodiments, the second electrode assembly 40 is defined to have a front end and a rear end disposed opposite to each other. The front end of the second electrode assembly 40 refers to the end of the second electrode assembly 40 away from the intermediate body 11, and the rear end of the second electrode assembly 40 refers to the end of the second electrode assembly 40 close to the intermediate body 11. Since the second extension 13 has a third pillar 134 and the second mounting bracket 45 has a fourth pillar 452, one end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the third pillar 134, and the other end of the second reset member 47 is sleeved on the fourth pillar 452. Thus, when the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 is pressed, the rear end of the second electrode assembly 40 is raised, thereby increasing the distance between the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 and the front end of the first electrode assembly 30. The fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200 can abut against the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 of the charging base station 100, making the charging base station 100 more applicable to larger self-moving devices 200. The charging base station 100 provided in this application embodiment can charge self-moving devices 200 of various models and widths. In addition, the rear end of the second electrode assembly 40 is raised to prevent the self-moving device 200 from moving further toward the rear end of the second electrode assembly 40.

[0119] In some embodiments, the second extension 13 has a second guide groove 135 that communicates with the third receiving cavity 133. The second mounting bracket 45 further includes a second guide protrusion 453. The second guide protrusion 453 is disposed on the second mounting body 451, and the second mounting bracket 45 and the second extension 13 slide together via the second guide groove 135 and the second guide protrusion 453. Thus, by limiting the sliding between the second extension 13 and the second mounting bracket 45 via the second guide groove 135 and the second guide protrusion 453, the movement of the second mounting bracket 45 relative to the second extension 13 is made smoother.

[0120] In some embodiments, the second extension 13 defines a second guide groove 135 on both the top and bottom walls of the second accommodating cavity 3511. Correspondingly, the second mounting bracket 45 has two second guide protrusions 453, each of which slides in conjunction with a second guide groove 135. This improves the smoothness of movement of the second mounting bracket 45 relative to the second extension 13.

[0121] In some embodiments, the second mounting bracket 45 has an arc-shaped second guide surface that is opposite to the second extension 13. When the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 contacts the second mounting bracket 45, the second mounting bracket 45 drives the second electrode piece 46 to retract toward the second receiving cavity 3511 via the second guide surface. Therefore, when the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 contacts the second mounting bracket 45, the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 presses against the second guide surface, causing the second mounting bracket 45 to retract toward the second receiving cavity 3511, thereby driving the second electrode piece 46 disposed on the second mounting bracket 45 to retract toward the second receiving cavity 3511. Thus, the structure of the second mounting bracket 45 having an arc-shaped second guide surface that is opposite to the second extension 13 allows the second mounting bracket 45 to be more easily pressed by the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 and retract toward the second receiving cavity 3511.

[0122] When the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 is pressed, the rotation between the first guide groove 125 and the first guide protrusion 353 causes the rear end of the first electrode assembly 30 to tilt upwards. This increases the distance between the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 and the front end of the second electrode assembly 40, allowing the third electrode assembly 204 of the self-moving device 200 to abut against the front end of the first electrode assembly 30 of the charging base station 100, thus making the charging base station 100 more suitable for larger self-moving devices 200. When the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 is pressed, the rear end of the second electrode assembly 40 tilts upwards, further increasing the distance between the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 and the front end of the first electrode assembly 30. This allows the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200 to abut against the front end of the second electrode assembly 40 of the charging base station 100, further making the charging base station 100 more suitable for larger self-moving devices 200.

[0123] In some embodiments, the charging base station 100 further includes an infrared transmitting module. The infrared transmitting module is used to transmit infrared signals and cooperates with the infrared receiving module of the self-moving device 200 to locate the self-moving device 200. By including the infrared transmitting module in the charging base station 100, which transmits infrared signals and cooperates with the infrared receiving module of the self-moving device 200 to locate the self-moving device 200, for example, to determine whether the self-moving device 200 has moved to the charging base station 100 and whether it has reached its designated position.

[0124] In some embodiments, the infrared emitting module includes a plurality of infrared emitters. At least a portion of the plurality of infrared emitters are located within the second subspace 142. When the self-moving device 200 is housed within the first subspace 141 of the accommodating space 14, and the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100 charges the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200, the infrared emitters located in the second subspace 142 can be aligned with the infrared receiving module of the self-moving device 200, and the infrared emitters can communicate with the infrared receiving module of the self-moving device 200 at a preset frequency to provide timely feedback on the charging status of the self-moving device 200 by the charging base station 100.

[0125] For example, if the charging base station 100 malfunctions, such as when some components of the charging base station 100 overheat and pose a fire risk, the infrared transmitter sends a notification signal to the self-moving device 200. This allows the self-moving device 200 to leave the charging base station 100 based on the notification signal, thus preventing the self-moving device 200 from burning out. Furthermore, when the self-moving device 200 leaves the charging base station 100, the charging base station 100 stops charging the self-moving device 200, preventing further overheating of the charging base station 100 and reducing the risk of fire caused by overheating.

[0126] In some embodiments, four infrared emitters are illustrated as an example. One infrared emitter is located at the end of the first extension 12 opposite to the support; another infrared emitter is located at the end of the second extension opposite to the support. The remaining two infrared emitters are located in the support and within the second subspace 142. These remaining two infrared emitters can be integrated together or have a separate structure.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 22. The base 50 in some embodiments of this application differs from the base 50 in the embodiments described above. The base 50 includes a body 51 and two first limiting members 53. The body 51 is used to support the support portion and the enclosure portion. The two first limiting members 53 are spaced apart from the body 51. The first limiting members 53 are used to stop the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200, so that a second subspace 142 is formed between the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10. The structures of the first limiting members 53 and the stopping members 52 are different.

[0128] In some embodiments, in the first direction, the electrode assembly is further away from the support portion than the first limiting member 53. This can also be understood as the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 being further away from the first support body 15 and the second support body 16 than the first limiting member 53. Thus, when the self-moving device 200 enters the accommodating space 14 through the opening, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 first abut against the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200; subsequently, the first limiting member 53 abuts against the wheel 202 of the self-moving device 200. When the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 first abut against the third electrode assembly 204 and the fourth electrode assembly 205 of the self-moving device 200, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 can effectively buffer the rigid transmission of impact forces during the movement of the self-moving device 200, reducing the impact of the self-moving device 200 on the charging base station 100. Next, the first limiting member 53 abuts against the wheel 202 of the self-moving device 200, further buffering the impact force when the self-moving device 200 is moving. By limiting the above-mentioned cooperation between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 and the first limiting member 53, the impact force when the self-moving device 200 is moving is buffered, thereby reducing the impact force of the wheel 202 of the self-moving device 200 on the charging base station 100.

[0129] In some embodiments, two first limiting members 53 are spaced apart along a second direction. The body 51 is typically mounted on the ground. The body 51 also supports the support portion and the enclosure portion. In other words, the support portion and the enclosure portion are mounted on the body 51. The two first limiting members 53 are also mounted on the body 51. When the mobile device 200 travels to the charging base station 100 for charging, the mobile device 200 enters the accommodating space 14 through the opening. When the charging base station 100 enters the first limiting member 53, the first limiting member 53 stops the wheels 202 of the mobile device 200, preventing further movement. Thus, the first limiting members 53 create a second subspace 142 between the mobile device 200 and the charging pile 10. By setting a first limiting member 53 on the main body 51 to stop the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200, the self-moving device 200 can be stopped more quickly when it enters the accommodating space 14 of the charging base station 100 for charging, so that the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10 form a second subspace 142.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 53 includes a first limiting portion 531 and a second limiting portion 532. The first limiting portion 531 is disposed on the body 51. The second limiting portion 532 is disposed on the body 51 and bent to connect with the first limiting portion 531, and faces the other first limiting member 53.

[0131] In some embodiments, a first limiting portion 531 is provided on the base 50 and faces the opening of the accommodating space 14 to limit the self-moving device 200 in the opposite direction of the first direction. A second limiting portion 532 is also provided on the base 50. The second limiting portion 532 of the two first limiting members 53 is used to limit the self-moving device 200 in the second direction and also in the opposite direction of the second direction.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 53 includes a first limiting portion 531, which limits the self-moving device 200 in the opposite direction of the first direction. The second limiting portion 532 limits the self-moving device 200 in the second direction and the opposite direction, thereby enabling the self-moving device 200 to enter the accommodating space 14 of the charging base station 100 more accurately and effectively stopping the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200, so that the self-moving device 200 and the charging pile 10 form a second subspace 142. Furthermore, the above-described structural design of the first limiting member 53 also allows the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100 to be better aligned with the electrode assembly of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 is charging the self-moving device 200, thereby improving the accuracy of charging the self-moving device 200 using the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100.

[0133] In some embodiments, the base 50 further includes two sets of second limiting members 54. The two sets of second limiting members 54 are spaced apart from the body 51. One set of the second limiting members 54 is spaced apart from one of the two first limiting members 53 and is positioned away from the enclosure relative to the first limiting member 53; the other set of the second limiting members 54 is spaced apart from the other of the two first limiting members 53 and is positioned away from the enclosure relative to the other of the first limiting member 53. Thus, when the mobile device 200 enters the charging base station 100, the two sets of second limiting members 54 can decelerate the wheels 202 of the mobile device 200, preventing the mobile device 200 from damaging the charging base station 100. In addition, the two sets of second limiting members 54 and the two first limiting members 53 of the base 50 respectively form limiting spaces to limit the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200, thereby reducing or even preventing poor charging caused by the movement of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 charges the self-moving device 200.

[0134] Furthermore, the other set of the two sets of second limiting members 54 is spaced apart from the other set of the two first limiting members 53, and is further away from the enclosure than the other set of the two first limiting members 53. Therefore, when the mobile device 200 enters the charging base station 100, the other set of the two sets of second limiting members 54 can decelerate the wheels 202 of the mobile device 200, preventing the mobile device 200 from colliding with the charging base station 100. In addition, the other set of the two sets of second limiting members 54 of the charging base station 100 limits the space between itself and the other set of the two first limiting members 53, thereby limiting the wheels 202 of the mobile device 200. This reduces or even prevents poor charging caused by the movement of the mobile device 200 when the charging base station 100 is charging it.

[0135] In some embodiments, each group of second limiting members 54 includes a plurality of limiting strips 541 spaced apart along a direction away from the first limiting member 53. Thus, by limiting the second limiting member 54 to include a plurality of limiting strips 541, the deceleration effect on the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200 can be improved, preventing the self-moving device 200 from colliding with the charging base station 100. Furthermore, the limiting effect on the wheels 202 of the self-moving device 200 can be improved, thereby further reducing or even preventing charging defects caused by movement of the self-moving device 200 when the charging base station 100 is charging it.

[0136] Referring to Figures 23 and 24, some embodiments of this application also provide a self-mobile combined device 1, which includes a charging base station 100 and a self-mobile device 200. The self-mobile device 200 includes a vehicle body 201, a battery 206, and an electrode assembly. The battery 206 is disposed on the vehicle body 201, and the electrode assembly of the self-mobile device 200 is connected to the battery 206 and disposed on the vehicle body 201. When the electrode assembly of the self-mobile device 200 is electrically connected to the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100, the self-mobile device 200 base station charges the battery 206 of the self-mobile device 200, and a second subspace 142 exists between the self-mobile device 200 and the self-mobile device 200 base station.

[0137] The self-mobile combined device 1 provided in some embodiments of this application includes a charging base station 100 and a self-mobile device 200. When the electrode assembly of the self-mobile device 200 is electrically connected to the electrode assembly of the charging base station 100, the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 located in the first subspace 141 of the self-mobile device 200 base station charge the battery 206 of the self-mobile device 200. Since the first extension 12 and the second extension 13 are opposite to each other and spaced apart, the first electrode assembly 30 is located in the first extension 12 and the second electrode assembly 40 is located in the second extension 13. Therefore, the distance between the first electrode assembly 30 and the second electrode assembly 40 is large, which can reduce the safety risk of misconnection between the electrode assemblies of the self-mobile device 200 and the electrode assembly of the self-mobile device 200 when the charging base station 100 charges the self-mobile device 200. Furthermore, when the charging base station 100 is used to charge the mobile device 200, a second subspace 142 exists between the mobile device 200 and the charging pile 10. This facilitates heat dissipation for both the charging base station 100 and the mobile device 200 during charging, thereby reducing or even preventing damage to the charging base station 100 and the mobile device 200 caused by heat accumulation during charging. Additionally, when the charging base station 100 malfunctions, such as when a component near the second subspace 142 catches fire, the second subspace 142 between the charging base station 100 and the mobile device 200 reduces the likelihood of damage to the charging base station 100.

[0138] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this application, and such improvements and refinements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this application.
