Alson 3D vision charging & battery swapping solutions, relieving the range anxiety of EV owner
Whether it is the passenger car or commercial vehicle market, have increased the promotion and application of new energy electric models, and it is predicted that by 2025, the proportion of new energyvehicles in public transportation will reach 72%.
Battery life is a top priority! In addition to thecontinuous improvement of energy storage battery technology, basic chargingfacilities are also crucial. The imperfect infrastructure has aggravated themileage anxiety of new energy vehicle owners, and energy companies and carcompanies have turned their attention to the field of robot automation,combined with advanced 3D vision technology, and strive to achieve a variety ofcomplementary charging and replacing energy solutions.
3D vision guided automatic charging solution
For areas that are not easy to deploy fixed charging piles, or underground parking lots,three-dimensional parking lots,
shopping malls, office buildings and othercommercial places, robot mobile charging is a good supplementary solution, the use of composite robot + 3D vision positioning system can achieve "pile to findthe car", the owner only needs to make a charging appointment inthe corresponding program, no longer have to work hard to grab the chargingposition.
§Scenario resolution
oThe composite robot (collaborative robot + AGV/AMR)is responsible for carrying the 3D camera to find thecar to be charged in the parking area, parking next to the charging port sideafter it is in place, and charging it with its own battery module or anindependent battery module;
o The 3D camera scans and locates the outer cover andinner charging base of the body, obtains the point cloud data of the target,and the vision system obtains accurate positioning coordinates through the implementationof the point cloud algorithm and AI algorithm, and guides the collaborativerobot to open the outer cover of the body and insert the charging gun into thecharging base for charging.
o The 3D camera can cope with various environmentssuch as indoor and semi-open, and has good adaptability to various body colorsand paint reflections;
o The 3D camera can recognize a variety of straight/AC charging bases, quickly call and switch categories, and quickly import new national standards;
o The 3D vision positioning system can automaticallycorrect the direction and angle deviation caused by vehicle parking andcomposite robot in place, reduce parking requirements, reduce the deployment ofground limit facilities, and make station construction and operation andmaintenance more flexible.
3D vision guided automatic battery exchange solution
With the popularization and development of newenergy vehicles, the concept of vehicle electricityseparation (battery rental, battery replacement)isbecoming more and more familiar.The battery replacement mode can reduce thebudget burden of car buyers and improve purchasing power , and it’sconvenient for battery management and recycling.
"Batteryexchange" has become an indispensable energy replenishment solution forvehicle electricity separation. Especially for taxiand other operational vehicles, they need 2~5 minutes to complete the powerreplacement service, through the rental of batteries, to achieve uninterruptedenergy continuity, to ensure the length of operation.
(Side-shaft type battery exchange display)
· Scenario resolution
o The vehicle drives into the exchange station, putsdown the battery tray, the robot carries the 3D camera and fixture to move tothe side of the chassis, the 3D camera scans the side of the battery packbracket, obtains accurate positioning coordinates through point cloudprocessing, guides the robot to adjust the attitude to accurately dock the sidepumping position, and takes out the battery pack to be charged;
o The robot will place the battery pack to be chargedto the idle charging position of the shelf, follow the instructions of thecontrol system to the designated cargo position, accurately take out the fullycharged battery pack after scanning, and put the fully charged battery into thebattery tray according to the coordinates of the previous positioning (thevehicle does not need to move), and the bracket can be returned to its positionto complete the battery exchange, which is very convenient and fast;
o The owner does not need to get out of the car, noneed to wait for a long time, just make an appointment on the procedure;
o The 3D camera can cope with a variety of indoor and semioutdoor environments, and can recognize various materials and color of brackets;
o The 3D vision positioning system can automaticallycorrect the direction and angle deviation of vehicle parking, reduce the parking requirements of vehicle owners, reduce the deployment of ground limitfacilities, and make station construction and operation and maintenance moreflexible;
o Not only passenger cars, but also for commercialtrucks (light trucks/heavy trucks) lateral battery exchange can also beimplemented through truss robot + 3D vision positioning system, effectivelyensuring long-distance transportation endurance and short-distance constructionvehicle high-frequency power replacement needs.
3D visionwith fixed charging pile solution
Fixed charging piles are still the most importantbasic energy replenishment facilities. Setting up charging piles in necessaryremote areas and along highways is a necessary facility for long-distance cross-zone driving,
passenger transportation,and transportation logistics.and transportation logistics. Thecollaborative robot is
equipped with a 3D vision positioning system, whichgives full play to the advantages of safety and flexibility.
At the same time, if the pile or power isinsufficient, it can also be used in the power station with the mobile powermodule to complete the energy replenishment in time, the owner does not need toreturn to the power station to move the parking space, the mobile power modulecan be deployed according to the system to move to the side of the car to becharged, the 3D vision positioning system can accurately find the charging interfaceof the mobile module, and guide the robot to grab the charging gun to completethe energy replenishment.
