Description
本申请要求于2017年07月19日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号分别为201710591558.5、201720879390.3、201720879388.6,发明名称均为“用于自动充电的对准机构、充电设备及充电系统”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及自动充电技术领域,特别涉及一种用于自动充电的对准机构、充电设备及充电系统。
自动导引运输车(Automated Guided Vehicle,简称AGV)是一种装备有电、磁或光学等自动导引装置,能够沿规定的导引路径行驶,具有安全保护以及各种移载功能的无人驾驶运输车。AGV以可充电的蓄电池作为动力来源,并采用自动充电的方式对蓄电池进行充电。当需要充电时,AGV以后退的方式靠近充电设备,使设置在AGV尾部的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接,从而对AGV进行充电。充电设备中通常设置有对准机构,以便于AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件的对接。
目前的充电设备中的对准机构包括基板和弹簧。其中,基板沿竖直方向设置,弹簧的一端固定在基板上,充电设备的接插件固定在弹簧的另一端。在AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接过程中,弹簧被压缩,通过弹簧的作用力消除AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件之间的位置偏差,使AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接。
现有的对准机构仅能消除AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在前后方向上的位置偏差。但是由于控制精度等方面的原因,AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在其他方向上,尤其是左右方向上也会存在位置偏差。当AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在其他方向上存在位置偏差时,需要通过反复调整AGV的位置,使AGV适应充电设备的位置来完成AGV的接插件与充电设备 的接插件的对接,导致AGV自动充电的效率较低。

本申请提供的对准机构中,在相对设置的第一基板和第二基板之间设置有至少两块限位板,该至少两块限位板相互平行且位于同一水平面内,每块限位板的两端分别以可使限位板在其所在的水平面内转动的方式与第一基板和第二基板相对的表面连接,因此,当第二基板受到外力作用时,第二基板相对于第一基板可以进行左右方向的运动,同时第二基板与第一基板在前后方向的相对位置也会发生变化。由此,在实际应用时,将本申请提供的对准机构设置在充电设备中,将第一基板与充电设备固定,将充电设备的接插件与第二基板连接,当AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在对接过程中存在左右方向的偏差时,AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件之间的相互作用力会使得第二基板向左或者向右移动,从而带动充电设备的接插件向左或者向右移动,进而消除AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件左右方向的位置偏差,再配合设置在第一基板和第二基板之间的第一弹簧,即可调整AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在前后方向上的位置关系,消除前后方向上的位置偏差。
采用本申请提供的对准机构,可使充电设备的接插件自动适应AGV接插件的位置,克服现有技术中为使AGV的接插件适应充电设备的接插件需要反复调整AGV的位置导致自动充电效率低的问题,使AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件能够快速、顺利完成对接,提高自动充电效率。

为使本申请的技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。除非另有定义,本申请所用的所有技术术语均具有与本领域技术人员通常理解的相同的含义。
为了使对本申请技术方案的描述更加清楚、简洁,本申请中,将在AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接过程中,与AGV的行驶方向平行的方向设定为前后方向,将在水平面内、与上述行驶方向垂直的方向设定为左右方向,将在竖直面内,与上述行驶方向垂直的方向设定为上下方向。上述各个方向的设定,并不用以限定本申请。
接下来,将结合附图对本申请提供的用于自动充电的对准机构进行详细介 绍。图1为本实施例提供的对准机构的立体结构示意图,图2为本实施例提供的对准机构的平面结构示意图,如图1和图2所示,该对准机构包括:
沿竖直方向设置的第一基板2;
与第一基板2相对设置的第二基板5;
两端分别与第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面连接的第一弹簧3;
以及,设置在第一基板2和第二基板5之间的限位组件。
其中,限位组件包括至少两块相互平行且位于同一个水平面内的限位板4,每块限位板的两端分别以可使限位板4在其所在的水平面内转动的方式与第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面连接;
第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面用于连接第一接插件,该第一接插件为待充电的充电设备的接插件。
本实施例提供的对准机构中,由于第一基板2和第二基板5相对设置,并且,在第一基板2和第二基板5之间设置有至少两块相互平行且位于同一水平面内的限位板4,每块限位板的两端分别以可使限位板4在其所在的水平面内转动的方式与第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面连接,因此,第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面以及任意两块限位板4能够形成近似于四个顶点可活动的平行四边形的结构。基于平行四边形的结构特点,当第二基板5受到外力作用时,第二基板5相对于第一基板2可以进行左右方向的运动,同时第二基板5与第一基板2在前后方向的相对位置也会发生变化。
基于以上所述,在实际应用时,将本实施例提供的对准机构设置在充电设备中,将第一基板2与充电设备固定,将充电设备的接插件与第二基板5连接,当AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在对接过程中存在左右方向的偏差时,AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件之间的相互作用力会使得第二基板5向左或者向右移动,从而带动充电设备的接插件向左或者向右移动,进而消除AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件左右方向的位置偏差。同时,再配合设置在第一基板2和第二基板5之间的第一弹簧3,即可调整AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在前后方向上的位置关系,消除前后方向上的位置偏差。
第一弹簧3还可吸收AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件在对接时的冲击,并且当充电完成,AGV离开充电设备后,第二基板5可在第一弹簧3恢复力的作用下复位。
对于上述限位板与第一基板2和第二基板5的连接方式的具体实现形式, 本实施例提供以下可选技术方案:
如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还包括:分别设置在第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面上的第一连接板21和第二连接板51;第一连接板21和第二连接板51位于同一个水平面内;限位板4的一端通过第一销轴a1与第一连接板21连接,限位板4的另一端通过第二销轴a2与第二连接板51连接。
由于第一连接板21和第二连接板51位于同一个水平面内,将限位板4与第一连接板21和第二连接板51连接后,可使各个限位板4位于同一个水平面内。通过销轴连接的方式,可使限位板4的两端以销轴作为旋转中心进行旋转。
本实施例中,在第一连接板21和第二连接板51上均设置有安装孔,限位板4的两端也设置有安装孔,第一销轴a1依次穿过第一连接板21上的安装孔和限位板4的一端的安装孔,将限位板4的一端与第一连接板21连接;第二销轴a2依次穿过第二连接板51上的安装孔和限位板4的另一端的安装孔,将限位板4的另一端与第二连接板51连接。可以理解的是,第一销轴a1和第二销轴a2的轴线沿竖直方向设置,并且,第一销轴a1和第二销轴a2与相应的安装孔之间间隙配合。
进一步地,在AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接过程中,除了存在前后方向和左右方向的位置偏差外,还可能存在角度的偏差。对于仅存在前后方向和左右方向的位置偏差的情况,AGV的接插件沿竖直方向的截面与充电设备的接插件沿竖直方向的截面是平行的,但是对于存在角度偏差的情况,AGV的接插件沿竖直方向的截面与充电设备的接插件沿竖直方向的截面之间存在夹角。
针对上述存在角度偏差的情况,本实施例提供的对准机构中,限位板4的两端中至少一端的安装孔设置为长圆孔,如图1所示,长圆孔包括相对设置的两段圆弧段以及连接两段圆弧段的直线段,长圆孔的长度方向沿前后方向设置。例如,可以将限位板4与第一连接板21连接的一端的安装孔设置为长圆孔,与第二连接板51连接的一端的安装孔设置为普通的圆孔;也可以将限位板4的两端的安装孔均设置为长圆孔。第一销轴a1可沿长圆孔的长度方向运动,或者,第二销轴a2可沿长圆孔的长度方向运动,或者,第一销轴a1和第二销轴a2均可沿长圆孔的长度方向运动。通过将限位板4至少一端的安装孔设置为长圆孔,可使第二基板5相对于第一基板2发生倾斜,从而带动充电设 备的接插件发生相应的倾斜,以此来消除角度上的偏差,完成接插件之间的对接。
进一步地,在AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接过程中还可能存在上下方向的位置偏差。本实施例中,可采用以下方式来消除上下方向的位置偏差:第一销轴a1位于第一连接板21的安装孔外部部分的长度大于限位板4的厚度;第二销轴a2位于第二连接板51的安装孔外部部分的长度大于限位板4的厚度。
可以理解的是,第一销轴a1连接第一连接板21和限位板4时,其长度方向上的一部分位于第一连接板21的安装孔内,限位板4套设在第一销轴a1位于第一连接板21的安装孔外部的部分,当第一销轴a1位于第一连接板21的安装孔外部的部分长度大于限位板4的厚度时,第一连接板21可沿第一销轴a1的轴线方向(也即上下方向)运动。同理,第二连接板51可沿第二销轴a2的轴线方向(也即上下方向)运动。第一连接板21和第二连接板51上下运动时,限位板4也将随之上下运动。基于此,当AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件存在上下方向的位置偏差时,在对接过程中,将会产生上下方向的相互作用力,该相互作用力使第二基板5相对于第一基板2相应的向上或者向下运动,从而带动充电设备的接插件向上或者向下运动,消除上下方向的位置偏差。
本实施例提供的对准机构中,限位组件的数量可以为至少两组,例如两组三组、四组等,并且至少两组限位组件沿竖直方向(即上下方向)排列。相应地,第一连接板21和第二连接板51的数量也分别为至少2块。第一连接板21可以与第一基板2一体成型,第二连接板51可以与第二基板5一体成型。
每组限位组件中的限位板4的数量可以为2块、3块、4块等,本实施例不作特殊限定。每组限位组件中的限位板4的数量可以相同,也可以不同。
本实施例提供的对准机构中,第一弹簧3的数量没有特殊限定,可以为1条,也可以为2条或者2条以上,例如3条、4条、5条、6条等。当第一弹簧3的数量为1条时,第一弹簧3的两端可分别与第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面的中心连接。
本实施例中,第一弹簧3的两端可以通过焊接的方式与第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面连接,也可通过在第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面上设置卡槽,将第一弹簧3的两端以嵌入的方式,将第一弹簧3分别与第一基板2和第二基板5连接。还可在第一基板2和第二基板5相对的表面上分别设置第 一连接杆101,将第一弹簧3的两端套设在第一连接杆101上,以防止第二基板5相对于第一基板2运动时,第一弹簧3错位,第一基板2上的第一连接杆101和第二基板5上的第一连接杆101之间应留有合适的距离,以防止对第二基板5的运动产生影响。
如图1和图2所示,在本实施例一种可选的实施方式中,第一基板2和第二基板5相互平行且均为长方体形板,且第一基板2和第二基板5的上端和下端分别平齐(即高度相同),第二基板5左右方向的尺寸小于第一基板2左右方向的尺寸。对准机构中设置有两组限位组件,分别位于第一基板2的上端和下端,每组限位组件包括两块相互平行的限位板。为了便于区分,将位于第二基板5上端的限位板称为第一限位板41,将位于第二基板5下端的限位板称为第二限位板42。两块第一限位板41分别设置在靠近第二基板5的左右两端,两块第二限位板42分别位于两块第一限位板41的正下方。
具体来说,在该实施方式中,在第一基板2的上下两端分别设置有第一连接板21,在第二基板5的上下两端分别设置有第二连接板51。第一限位板41位于第一连接板21和第二连接板51的上方,其中,该第一连接板21设置在第一基板2的上端,以及该第二连接板51设置在第二基板5的上端。第二限位板42位于第一连接板21和第二连接板51的下方,其中,该第一连接板21设置在第一基板2的下端,以及该第二连接板51设置在第二基板5的下端。第一限位板41与设置在第一基板2上端的第一连接板21相连的一端的安装孔为长圆孔,与设置在第二基板5上端的第二连接板51相连的一端的安装孔为普通的圆孔。第二限位板42与设置在第一基板2下端的第一连接板21相连的一端的安装孔为长圆孔,与设置在第二基板5下端的第二连接板51相连的一端的安装孔为普通的圆孔。
并且,在该实施方式中,第一弹簧3的数量为4条,其中两条靠近第二基板5的上端且分别位于两块第一限位板41的正下方,另外两条靠近第二基板5的下端且分别位于两块第一限位板41的正下方。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:与第二基板5相对设置的第三基板8,第三基板8位于第二基板5背离第一基板2的一侧;第三基板8背离第二基板5的表面用于连接第一接插件。第三基板8以相对于第二基板5可左右移动的方式与第二基板5连接。
可以理解的是,当对准机构中设置有第三基板8时,充电设备的接插件与 第三基板8背离第二基板5的表面连接。当第三基板8相对于第二基板5左右运动时,可带动充电设备的接插件左右运动。通过第三基板8相对于第二基板5的左右运动以及第二基板5相对于第一基板2的左右运动的协同作用,可以消除充电设备的接插件与AGV的接插件左右方向的位置偏差。通过设置第三基板8,一方面可以扩大充电设备的接插件左右运动的范围,另一方面,可以减少第一弹簧3的形变量,提高对准机构整体的使用寿命。
另外,在一些实施例中,第三基板8与第二基板5相互平行设置,如此,可以最大限度的扩大充电设备的接插件左右运动的范围。
在一种可能的实现方式中,第三基板8可以通过以下方式与第二基板5连接,如图1和图2所示,对准机构还包括:设置在第二基板5和第三基板8相对的两个表面中的其中一个表面上的滑轨7,滑轨7的长度方向沿左右方向设置,以及,设置在第三基板8与第二基板5相对的两个表面中的另一个表面上、且与滑轨7相配合的滑块6。当滑块6沿着滑轨7左右滑动时,即可使第三基板8相对于第二基板5左右移动。可以在第二基板5的上下两端均设置滑轨7,在第三基板8的上下两端设置与滑轨7相配合的滑块6。
在一些实施例中,滑块7可以设置在第二基板5上,滑块6设置在第三基板8上。
当然,在另一些实施例中,也可在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面上设置滑块,在第三基板8与第二基板5相对的表面上设置滑轨。
在具体实现时,滑轨7可以为长方体,在滑轨7上下两个表面上分别开设左右方向的滑槽。滑块6则可以为一长方体,且该长方体的表面开设有截面形状呈C字形的开口,其中,与设置有C字形开口的表面相对的表面固定在第三基板8与第二基板5相对的表面上,C字形开口的相对的上下表面上设置有与上述滑槽相配合的凸起。
进一步地,本实施例提供的对准机构中,第三基板8左右方向的尺寸可以小于第二基板5左右方向的尺寸。与此同时,对准机构还包括:分别固定在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面的左右两侧的连接件;以及,分别位于第三基板8左右两侧的第二弹簧9;第二弹簧9的一端与连接件连接,第二弹簧9的另一端与第三基板8连接。
通过调整左右两侧的第二弹簧9的预紧程度,可以使第三基板8在初始状态下位于第二基板5的中间,当在接插件对接过程中使第三基板8产生向左或 者向右的偏移时,通过左右两侧的第二弹簧9可使第三基板8复位。可选地,左右两侧的第二弹簧9同轴。
可以在连接件上开设轴线方向沿左右方向设置的通孔,并设置第二连接杆102,第二连接杆102的一端穿过连接件上的通孔后与第三基板8连接,第二弹簧9套在第二连接杆102上,并且,第二连接杆102可沿通孔的轴线方向、也即左右方向运动。通过第二连接102的设置,可以防止第二弹簧9发生错位。
本实施例中,连接件的具体形式可以为:连接件包括与第三基板8垂直且沿竖直方向设置的第三连接板52,以及与第二基板5平行的第四连接板53。第四连接板53固定在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面上,第三连接板52沿前后方向的一端与第四连接板53固定。可以理解的是,第三基板8左右两侧的两块第三连接板52相对设置,第二弹簧9的一端固定在两块第三连接板52相对的表面上,另一端固定在第三基板8的左端(或右端)。上述的通孔则开设在第三连接板52上。
连接件的具体形式还可以为长方体形或者正方体形的连接块,第三基板8左右两侧的连接块相对的表面用于固定第二弹簧9。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:导向臂11,导向臂11的长度方向沿前后方向设置。当对准机构中设置有上述的第三基板8及相关部件时,导向臂11的后端(即导向臂11靠近第三基板8的一端)固定在第三基板8背离第二基板5的表面上;当对准机构中没有设置上述的第三基板8及相关部件时,导向臂11的后端(即导向臂11靠近第二基板5的一端)固定在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面上。导向臂11的前端(即导向臂11远离第三基板8或第二基板5的一端)用于连接充电设备的接插件。
充电设备的接插件与AGV的接插件相互作用的力可通过导向臂11传递给第二基板5和第三基板8,使第二基板5和第三基板8发生相应方向的运动,从而带动充电设备的接插件向相应的方向运动,进而使充电设备的接插件自动适应AGV的接插件的位置,完成接插件之间的对接。可通过在AGV上设置与该导向臂11配合的导向部件,以提高对准机构自动适应AGV位置的能力,提高接插件的对接速度。
可选地,当导向臂11与第二基板5固定、且第一基板2和第二基板5相互平行时,导向臂11的长度方向与第二基板5垂直;当导向臂11与第三基板8固定、且第一基板2、第二基板5和第三基板8相互平行时,导向臂11的长 度方向与第三基板8垂直。
为了加强导向臂11的强度,如图1所示,可以在导向臂11和与其固定的表面之间设置肋板111。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:设置在导向臂11的上表面靠近导向臂11的前端的第一导向块131,以及设置在导向臂11的下表面、且与第一导向块131的位置相对应的第二导向块132。如图3所示,第一导向块131的上表面包括由前向后顺次连接的斜面段和平面段,且所述第一导向块131的斜面段向上倾斜;第二导向块132的下表面包括由前向后顺次连接的斜面段和平面段,且第二导向块132的斜面段向下倾斜。可以理解的是,第一导向块131的平面段1312和第二导向块的平面段1322分别与导向臂11的上下表面平行。
通过上述第一导向块131和第二导向块132的设置,有利于使第二基板5上下运动,从而消除充电设备的接插件与AGV的接插件之间上下方向的位置偏差。
需要说明的是,当导向臂11为长方体形时,第一导向块131的平面段1312和第二导向块的平面段1322分别与导向臂11的上下表面平行包括:第一导向块131的平面段1312和第二导向块的平面段1322分别与长方体的上下表面平行。当导向臂11为圆柱体形时,第一导向块131的平面段1312和第二导向块的平面段1322分别与导向臂11的上下表面平行包括:第一导向块131的平面段1312与第一水平面平行,第二导向块的平面段1322与第二水平面平行,该第一水平面和第二水平面分别与圆柱体的外圆周面的上下两端相切。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:分别设置在导向臂11的前端的左右两侧的第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122,且第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122水平设置(即第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122的轴线方向沿上下方向设置);第一圆盘121最左侧的边缘相对于导向臂11最左侧的边缘向外凸出;第二圆盘122最右侧的边缘相对于导向臂11最右侧的边缘向外凸出。
具体实现时,第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122可以采用轴承。
当AGV上设置有导向部件时,在AGV的接插件与充电设备的接插件对接过程中,第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122相对于导向臂11向外凸出的边缘沿着导向部件运动,有利于使第二基板5左右运动,从而消除充电设备的接插件 与AGV的接插件之间左右方向的位置偏差。
第一圆盘121的数量包括但不限于两个,当设置有多个第一圆盘121时,多个第一圆盘121沿前后方向排列。第二圆盘122的数量包括但不限于两个,当设置有多个第二圆盘122时,多个第二圆盘122沿前后方向排列。
进一步地,可以在导向臂11上设置连接轴,并将第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122套设在连接轴上(可以理解的是,连接轴的轴线沿上下方向设置)。第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122可以绕连接轴转动,如此,第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122与其他导向部件相接触时的摩擦为滚动摩擦,摩擦阻力较小。
举例来说,设置在AGV上的导向部件可以采用如图4和图5所示的导向筒16的形式。导向筒16包括长方体形的筒体,筒体的一端固定在AGV上,并且在该端部上设置有可容纳AGV的接插件(即图4和图5中的第二接插件17)的开口;筒体的另一端开放,并且筒体的四个表面分别连接向上倾斜的表面161、向下倾斜的表面163、向左倾斜的表面162以及向右倾斜的表面164。
其中,导向筒16向上倾斜的表面161倾斜的程度与第一导向块131中斜面段的倾斜程度相配合,向下倾斜的表面163倾斜的程度与第二导向块132中斜面段的倾斜程度相配合,导向筒16向右倾斜的表面164则与第一圆盘121相对于导向臂11向外凸出的边缘相配合,向左倾斜的表面162则与第二圆盘122相对于导向臂11向外凸出的边缘相配合。可选地,向左倾斜的表面163和向右倾斜的表面164倾斜的程度大于向上倾斜的表面161和向下倾斜的表面162的倾斜程度。
在充电设备的接插件和AGV的接插件对接过程中,AGV向后行驶,第一导向块131和第二导向块132分别沿着导向筒16向上倾斜的表面161和向下倾斜倾斜的表面163向导向筒16内部运动,第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122相对于导向臂11向外凸出的边缘分别沿着导向筒16向右倾斜的表面164和向左倾斜倾斜的表面162向导向筒16内部运动。通过第一导向块131、第二导向块132、第一圆盘121和第二圆盘122与导向筒16相应的倾斜的表面之间的相互作用,可以使第二基板5和第三基板8沿着相应的方向运动,从而消除充电设备的接插件和AGV的接插件之间的位置偏差。
根据以上对本实施例提供的对准机构的结构的描述可以看出,本实施例提供对准机构可以划分为三个单元:包括第一基板2、第二基板5、第一弹簧3、限位板4及相关部件的第一活动单元,包括第三基板8、滑轨7、滑块6、第二 弹簧9及相关部件的第二活动单元,以及包括导向臂11、第一导向块131、第二导向块132、第一圆盘121、第二圆盘122及相关部件的导向单元。可以根据实际的使用条件,在对准机构中设置上述三个部分中的至少一个单元。
举例来说,一种可选的实施方式中,只设置第一活动单元,充电设备的接插件直接固定在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面上。该方式主要适用于接插件为面接触式的接插件,且AGV的控制精度较高,左右方向的位置偏差不是很大的情况。
另一种可选的实施方式中,设置第一活动单元和第二活动单元,充电设备的接插件固定在第三基板8背离第二基板5的表面上。该方式主要适用于接插件为面接触式的接插件,且AGV的控制精度较低,左右方向存在较大位置偏差的情况。
又一种可选的实施方式中,设置第一活动单元和导向单元,导向臂11的后端直接固定在第二基板5背离第一基板2的表面,充电设备的接插件固定在导向臂11的前端。该方式适用于AGV的控制精度较高,左右方向的位置偏差不是很大的情况。该方式对各种形式的接插件均适用,尤其适用于插片-插孔式的接插件。
在一种可选的实施方式中,同时设置第一活动单元、第二活动单元和导向单元,导向臂11的后端固定在第三基板8背离第二基板5的表面,充电设备的接插件固定在导向臂11的前端。该方式适用于AGV的控制精度较低,左右方向的位置偏差较大的情况。该方式对各种形式的接插件均适用,尤其适用于插片-插孔式的接插件。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:与第一基板2背离第二基板5的表面固定的第四基板1。通过设置第四基板1使对准机构整体更加稳定。第四基板1可以沿竖直方向设置,即与第一基板2平行,也可以与第一基板2成一定夹角的形式设置。当将对准机构设置在充电设备中时,可通过将第四基板1与充电设备固定实现第一基板2的固定。充电设备通常具有壳体,可以直接以充电设备的壳体的某个表面作为第四基板1。第一基板2与第四基板1之间可通过第三连接杆103固定。
进一步地,如图1和图2所示,本实施例提供的对准机构还可以包括:设置在第二基板5下方的万向球15。万向球15可以对整个对准机构起到支撑作用。万向球15的数量包括但不限于2个。当第二基板5的下端设置有第二连 接板51时,可以将万向球15安装在第二连接板51的下表面。
综上,本实施例综合运用弹簧、滑轨、滑块等结构,提供了一种在AGV自动充电过程中可使充电设备的接插件自动适应AGV的接插件的位置的对准机构。采用本实施例提供的对准机构,当AGV进行自动充电时,只需使AGV保持向后行驶的状态,即可通过对准机构的作用,使充电设备的接插件自动适应AGV接插件的位置,快速消除充电设备的接插件与AGV接插件之间左右、前后、上下方向的位置偏差以及角度偏差,完成充电设备的接插件与AGV接插件之间的对接,提高自动充电效率,并且降低对AGV控制精度的要求。并且,本实施例提供的对准机构结构简单,成本较低。
本领域技术人员可以理解的是,本实施例中仅是以AGV为例,对本实施例提供的对准机构的工作原理进行说明,本实施例提供的对准机构对于其他可移动、以可充电蓄电池作为动力来源、且以自动充电方式进行充电的设备均适用,包括但不限于扫地机器人。
基于上述用于自动充电的对准机构,本实施例还提供了一种用于自动充电的充电设备,该充电设备包括:对准机构以及与对准机构连接的第一接插件14。其中,对准机构为上述图1和图2所示实施例提供的对准机构。
