System and method for automatically replacing battery by robot without power interruption

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for automatically replacing a battery by a robot without power interruption. The system comprises a robot body, a battery replacing and storing device and adispatching background, the robot body is provided with a battery bin, an auxiliary battery, a power supply connector and a first communication module, and the auxiliary battery supplies power when amain battery is replaced; the battery replacing and storing device comprises battery storage bins, a battery dismounting and transporting mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a second communication moduleand a control module, each battery storage bin is provided with a charging connector, the battery dismounting and transporting mechanism can be driven by the lifting mechanism to be in butt joint with each battery storage bin, and the other end of the battery dismounting and transporting mechanism is in butt joint with the battery bin on the robot body; the system is used for dismounting and conveying main batteries. The battery can be quickly and automatically replaced within a few minutes under the condition that the robot is not powered off, and completely unmanned operation is achieved; the structure of the battery replacing and storing device has rapid expansibility, a simple structure is adopted, the cost is low, the stability is high, the maintenance is easy, and the safety is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robot power supply, in particular to a system and a method for automatic battery replacement of a robot without power interruption. Background technique [0002] In the field of robotics, when the battery power of the robot is relatively low or there is no power, the method of manual battery replacement or manual / automatic charging is generally adopted. Manual battery replacement requires manual operation, which is inefficient and cannot achieve real automation and intelligence; the existing Manual / automatic charging generally takes more than 5 hours to fully charge due to the charging efficiency of the charger, which seriously affects work efficiency. However, a small number of automatic battery replacement methods are costly and have a greater risk of equipment failure. For example, the use of mechanical arms is costly (the battery requires a large mechanical arm), requires a large site, and cannot be p...

[0002] In the field of robotics, when the battery power of the robot is relatively low or there is no power, the method of manual battery replacement or manual / automatic charging is generally adopted. Manual battery replacement requires manual operation, which is inefficient and cannot achieve real automation and intelligence; the existing Manual / automatic charging Because of the charging efficiency of the charger, it generally takes more than 5 hours to fully charge, which seriously affects work efficiency

However, a small number of automatic battery replacement methods are costly and have a greater risk of equipment failure. For example, the use of mechanical arms is costly (the battery requires a large mechanical arm), requires a large site, and cannot be popularized; most of them are exposed and open. , there is a certain degree of danger in crowded public places; it is often necessary to cut off the power, and the robot needs to be restarted and reset after replacing the battery, which affects efficiency
