Embodiment 1

[0058] Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, a method for automatic charging of a robot, the described method has the following steps:

[0059] (1), when the robot needs to supplement the power supply, open the infrared information receiving device 1 located at the front of the robot. The infrared information receiving device includes a plurality of infrared receiving tubes distributed on the front of the robot body. The receiving device searches for the infrared charging guidance signal on the charging stand 3;

[0060] (2), after the infrared information receiving device 1 finds the guiding signal, determine the infrared receiving tube that receives the guiding signal, and calculate the distance and angle of the charging base 3 relative to the robot according to the infrared receiving tube;

[0061] (3), determine whether the orientation of the charging stand 3 is directly in front of the robot,

[0062] (3.1)...

Embodiment 2

[0074] With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, the front portion of the robot of this embodiment is also provided with a trigger signal transmitter 6, The charging stand is also provided with an excitation module 7 for starting the guiding signal emission source according to the trigger signal, and a closing module 9 for closing the emission source after the docking is completed, and the (1) includes:

[0075] (1.1), when the robot needs to supplement the power supply, open the infrared information receiving device 1, the trigger signal transmitter 6 positioned at the front of the robot, and the trigger signal transmitter 6 sends the trigger information;

[0076] (1.2), the excitation module 7 on the charging stand receives the trigger signal, starts the pilot signal emission source 4, and emits the pilot signal;

[0077] (1.3), the robot walks randomly, and the infrared information receiving device 1 searches...

Embodiment 3

[0083] Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, the method of this embodiment, the guide signal emission source of the charging stand according to different The infrared frequency includes the left emission source, the middle emission source, and the right emission source, and the (3.1) mentioned includes:

[0084] (3.1.1) If the infrared information receiving device of the robot receives the guidance signal from the left emission source, control the robot to move to the right until the infrared information receiving device receives the guidance signal from the middle emission source, and adjust according to the angle of the charging stand until The robot is facing the charging stand;

[0085] (3.1.2) If the infrared information receiving device of the robot receives the guidance signal from the right emission source, control the robot to move to the left until the infrared information receiving device receives the guidanc...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a robot automatic charging method and its automatic charging device. The invented method includes the following steps: (1), when the robot has need of supplementing power supply, the infrared signal receiving device positioned in the front portion of said robot is switched on, said robot can be randomly walked to search infrared charging guide signal on the charging socket; (2), after the guide signal is found, the infrared receiving tube by which the guide signal is received can be defined, and the infrared receiving tube can be utilized to calculate the distance and angle from the charging socket to robot; (3), the position of said robot can be regulated to the right in robot's ahead; (4), the robot can be walked toward the right ahead, the butt electrode of said robot is contacted with charging electrode on the charging socket to implement butt-joint; and (5), the infrared signal receiving device can be switched off.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic charging method for a robot and an automatic charging device. (2) Background technology [0002] Now, more and more service robots have entered our lives. A large number of service robots such as cleaning robots (or automatic vacuum cleaners) and security robots responsible for home safety have begun to come into practical use and gradually enter our lives to provide us with services. [0003] In order to improve the working efficiency of these service robots, reduce human intervention and maintenance on the machine, improve product reliability and reduce product cost, all are the keys to whether the product can be put into practical use in large quantities. The power source of this mobile robot is generally a rechargeable battery. How to automatically charge the robot is a problem we must face. Regarding the automatic charging of the robot, different manufacturers at home and abroad have provided many solutio...
