    摘要: Disclosed are a robot, a charging station, and a robot charging system comprising same. The charging station of the present disclosure may comprise: at least one indicator; at least one reflector configured to reflect light received from the outside to the at least one indicator; an interface configured to dock an external device; and a processor that, when it is detected that the external device is docked in the interface, supplies power to the docked external device through the interface. In addition, the robot of the present disclosure may comprise: a driving unit; a sensor; and a processor is configured to, when light irradiated to a charging station by means of a light emitting unit of the sensor is reflected by at least one indicator of the charging station and then received by a light receiving unit of the sensor, perform alignment for docking on the charging station on the basis of a pattern of the reflected light, and after performing the alignment, control the driving unit such that the robot may be docked on the charging station.

    摘要: A method for charging a self-propelled robotic work tool (1) in a charging station (4), comprises the steps of: the robot (1) navigating towards a charging position in the charging station (4), and sensing an attaining of a predetermined charging position of the robotic work tool (1) in the charging station (4). A charging position sensor (6a) and a sensed feature (6b) are arranged in the self-propelled robotic work tool (1) and the charging station (4). A charging procedure is initiated once said charging position is attained, and the sensor (6a) detects the sensed feature (6b) in a contactless manner.
    A system includes a charging station (4) and a robotic work tool (1), which each comprises one of a sensor (6a) and a sensed feature (6b), respectively, as well as first and second charging means (5a, 5b). The sensor (6a) and sensed feature (6b) are arranged for contactless detection.
    A robotic work tool (1) for use in the system comprises a charging position sensor (6a), a chargeable battery, and a charging means (5a).

    摘要: A cart charging station includes a supporting member, a power transmission device, and an engaging member. The power transmission device is coupled to the supporting member such that a power transmission surface thereof faces a power receiving surface of a power reception device mounted on a cart at the cart charging station. The power transmission device is configured to transmit electric power to the power reception device in a non-contact manner. The engaging member is configured to engage with the power reception device of the cart and restrict movement of the power reception device in a frontward direction and the width directions of the cart.

    摘要: Disclosed is a wireless charging power supply and pick-up system during operation of electric vehicles and industrial equipment while operating. The withstand voltage problem on the power supply line was solved by the capacitor provided in the inverter, and the power supply line and common line arrangement. This makes it possible to extend the wireless power supply line and the economical problem of the wireless charging system is greatly improved.
    In the prior art, compatibility was maintained with various wireless charging pick-up pads installed in the vehicle by using a plurality of inverters. In this system, compatibility is satisfied at a lower cost by utilizing the relay present in the inverter. The EMI of the power supply line is reduced by maximizing the magnetic field cancellation effect by using the structure of the common line and the shielding tube. In addition, it improves the limitation of the length of the power supply line section and the problem of the dead zone during wireless charging while driving.
