在實際應用中,處理裝置24在發出充電訊號24A前,可以是先控制切換模組252作動,以使自走車20的其中一個無線充電線圈251與電池
裝置26電性連接,藉此,處理裝置24發出充電訊號24A至充電站10時,面對於充電站10的無線充電線圈251將據以與充電站10的充電站無線充電線圈14相互配合,而對電池裝置26進行充電。
In practical applications, before the
在不同的實施例中,處理裝置24也可以是在發出充電訊號24A至充電站10後,透過反覆地控制切換模組252,來判斷車本體21上的哪一個無線充電線圈251正在與充電站無線充電線圈14相互作用,藉此,使電池裝置26與正在與充電站無線充電線圈14相互作用的無線充電線圈251電性連接。
In a different embodiment, the
當處理裝置24依據電量資訊2421,判斷電池裝置26的電量已到達預定值時,處理裝置24將傳送一停止充電資訊24B至充電站10,以使充電站10不再對自走車20進行無線充電。
When the
值得一提的是,自走車20的導航裝置23主要是用來輔助處理裝置24,使自走車20移動至鄰近於充電站10的位置,而定位裝置27則是用來輔助處理裝置24,使自走車20的無線充電線圈251與充電站10的充電站無線充電線圈14相面對地設置。更進一步來說,利用無線充電線圈251與充電站10相互配合,以進行無線充電的過程中,若是無線充電線圈251與充電站無線充電線圈14沒有相面對地設置,則可能發生無法充電或是充電效率低的問題,因此,本發明的自走車20透過定位裝置27的設置,將可使無線充電線圈251與充電站無線充電線圈14相面對地設置,從而使充電站10高效率地對自走車20進行無線充電作業。
It is worth mentioning that the
請復參圖2,值得一提的是,在實際應用中,自走車20還可以包含一活動載台裝置28。活動載台裝置28包含一驅動模組281及一載台282。驅動模組281設置於車本體21,驅動模組281電性連接處理裝置24,載台282與驅動模組281相連接,處理裝置24能控制驅動模組281,以使載台282向遠離或靠近車本體21的方向移動。驅動模組281例如可以是包含有馬達及用來
使馬達與載台282相互連接的構件,而處理裝置24能控制馬達作動,以使載台282相對於車本體21升降。關於驅動模組281與載台282的連接方式,於此不加以限制。
Please refer to FIG. 2 again. It is worth mentioning that in practical applications, the self-propelled
綜上所述,本發明的自走車及自走車系統,透過使自走車設置多個無線充電線圈,並搭配導航裝置、切換模組、定位裝置等設計,讓自走車在低電量的情況下,可以自行移動至鄰近的充電站進行無線充電。由於自走車不同側面設置有無線充電線圈,且自走車設置有定位裝置,因此,自走車可以快速地使無線充電線圈與充電站無線充電線圈兩者相面對地設置,從而使自走車能快速地被充電站充電。 In summary, the self-propelled vehicle and self-propelled vehicle system of the present invention, through the self-propelled vehicle is equipped with multiple wireless charging coils, and the design of the navigation device, switching module, positioning device, etc., allows the self-propelled vehicle to operate at low power In the case of, you can move to a nearby charging station for wireless charging. Since the self-propelled vehicle is equipped with wireless charging coils on different sides, and the self-propelled vehicle is equipped with a positioning device, the self-propelled vehicle can quickly make the wireless charging coil and the wireless charging coil of the charging station face each other, so that the self-propelled vehicle The car can be quickly charged by the charging station.
