Specifically, the power member 224 may be configured as a hydraulic rod, the power member 224 may be configured as a motor, and further, the power member 224 may be configured as a stepping motor. Also, by electrically coupling each power member 224 to the controller 12, the controller 12 can independently control each power member 224, which can achieve independent rotation of each connector 223 and/or charging member 23 about the horizontal direction.

In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 6, the entire adjusting assembly 22 is driven to rotate around the vertical direction by the first driving member 211 first, and the position of the adjusting assembly 22 can be changed in the vertical direction by a large margin, so as to adjust the position of the charging member 23 relative to the automobile 4 in a wide range. It should be noted that in fig. 6, the dashed line indicates a schematic of a position during the movement of the adjustment assembly 22. Referring to fig. 5, the position and angle of each of the connection members 223 and the charging member 23 in the adjustment assembly 22 in the horizontal direction are further changed by the power member 224, so that the position and angle of the charging member 23 can be precisely changed. It should be noted that the height of the charging member 23 can also be adjusted by changing the angle of the connecting member 223 in the adjustment assembly 22 and the engagement of the plurality of connecting members 223. It should be noted that in fig. 5, the dashed line indicates a schematic of a position during the movement of the adjustment assembly 22.

In order to further simplify the process of adjusting the position and angle of the charging member 23, referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting member 223 used in the automatic charging apparatus for an automobile is a telescopic connecting rod, which is a connecting rod having its own power source by which the connecting member 223 can adjust its own length. Note that, in fig. 4, a dotted line indicates an illustration of a position of the connecting member 223 during the adjustment of the length thereof. Specifically, the aforementioned hydraulic rod may be used as the link 223, and an electric push rod may be used as the link 223. The electric push rod is a driving device which converts the rotary motion of the motor into the linear motion of the push rod, and the length of the electric push rod can be controlled by the controller 12 by electrically coupling the driving motor of the electric push rod to the controller 12, so that the position of the charging component 23 can be adjusted. With the above arrangement, the position of the charging member 23 can be easily adjusted, and the position of the charging member 23 can be accurately adjusted with a small number of adjustment steps.

Additionally, referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, and 7, in some embodiments of the present application, the slide assembly 21 includes a slide rail 212, a drive device 213, and a slide block 214. Here, the slide rail 212 is connected to the guide member 11 and is movable relative to the guide member 11. The sliding rail 212 provides a basis for the movement of the slider 214. The adjustment assembly 22 is drivingly connected to the slider 214. The driving device 213 can drive the slide rail 212 to move relative to the guide member 11, and the driving device 213 can also drive the slide block 214 to move relative to the slide rail 212. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, two ends of the sliding rail 212 may be slidably connected to the guiding component 11, for example, a sliding groove may be disposed at a position of the guiding component 11 corresponding to the end of the sliding rail 212, and two ends of the sliding rail 212 are disposed in the sliding groove, so that the guiding component 11 can slide along the sliding groove; in addition, a roller may be disposed on the guide member 11, and the roller may be disposed corresponding to the sliding groove of the slide rail 212, so that the friction between the slide rail 212 and the guide member 11 may be changed into a rolling friction, thereby reducing the friction between the slide rail 212 and the guide member 11.

In order to realize that the driving device 213 drives the sliding rail 212 to move relative to the guiding component 11, in the case that the roller is disposed on the guiding component 11, the roller may be connected to the driving device 213 in a transmission manner, and the driving device 213 may drive the roller to move along the guiding component 11, so as to drive the sliding rail 212 to move along the guiding component 11; in the case where the slide groove is provided in the guide member 11 and both ends of the slide rail 212 are provided in the slide groove, the driving device 213 may be provided as a traction device having a traction function, so that the slide rail 212 may be drawn to slide along the slide groove in the guide member 11. By way of example, the guide member 11 and the slide rail 212 may be arranged with reference to the arrangement of a bridge crane. The guide member 11 may be disposed along the longitudinal direction of the automobile 4, and then a slide rail 212 may be disposed above the guide member 11 along the width direction of the automobile 4, and a traveling carriage may be disposed between the slide rail 212 and the guide member 11, and the movement of the slide rail 212 along the guide member 11 may be controlled by controlling the traveling carriage. Further, another carriage is provided between the slider 214 and the slide rail 212, and the slider 214 can be controlled to move along the slide rail 212 by controlling the carriage. Thus, by controlling the two traveling carriages, the sliding block 214 can move in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the automobile 4, and the sliding block 214 also moves the adjusting assembly 22 in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the automobile 4. Thereby achieving substantial adjustment of the position of the adjustment assembly 22.

However, the above-mentioned arrangement of the guide member 11 and the slide rail 212 with reference to the bridge crane means that only one slide rail 212 bears the weight of the slide block 214 and the adjustment assembly 22, and the mechanical parameters of the slide rail 212 are required to be high, and when the slide block 214 is located at the middle position of the slide rail 212, the slide rail 212 may have a large deflection, which may affect the positioning of the charging member 23.

Therefore, referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments of the present application, two sliding rails 212 are provided to share the weight of the sliding block 214 and the adjustment assembly 22, for convenience of distinction, the two sliding rails 212 may be referred to as a first sliding rail 2121 and a second sliding rail 2122, respectively, and referring to fig. 1 and 2, the first sliding rail 2121 and the second sliding rail 2122 are stacked up and down along a horizontal direction and are disposed perpendicular to each other. Meanwhile, the guide member 11 is provided as a first guide member 111 and a second guide member 112 corresponding to the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122, specifically, the first guide member 111 is provided at both ends of the first slide rail 2121, and the second guide member 112 is provided at both ends of the second slide rail 2122. As an example, the positions of the first slide rail 2121, the second slide rail 2122, the first guide part 111, and the second guide part 112 may be arranged with reference to fig. 1. Specifically, two rod-shaped structures may be provided at both ends of the first slide rail 2121 as the first guide member 111, and two rod-shaped structures may be provided at both ends of the second slide rail 2122 as the second guide member 112, and preferably, the first guide member 111 may be provided in the longitudinal direction of the automobile, and the second guide member 112 may be provided in the width direction of the automobile. Both ends of the first slide rail 2121 are slidably connected to the first guide member 111, and both ends of the second slide rail 2122 are slidably connected to the second guide member 112. For example, as shown in fig. 1, a groove may be formed on a side surface of the first guide member 111 corresponding to the first slide rail 2121, and a groove may be formed on a side surface of the second guide member 112 corresponding to the second slide rail 2122, and two ends of the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 respectively extend into the grooves of the first guide member 111 and the second guide member 112, so that the grooves of the first guide member 111 and the grooves of the second guide member 112 may respectively form a track on which the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 slide, and at the same time, the grooves may also play a role in limiting the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122, and prevent the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 from falling off the guide member 11.

On this basis, the sliding block 214 is disposed at a position where the projections of the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 in the vertical direction coincide. In this case, a driving device 213 may be provided between the first slide rail 2121 and the guide member 11 to drive the first slide rail 2121 to move relative to the guide member 11, and a driving device 213 may be provided between the second slide rail 2122 and the guide member 11 to drive the second slide rail 2122 to move relative to the guide member 11. When the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 move relative to the guide member 11 to change positions, the projection overlapping position of the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 along the vertical direction also changes along with the positions of the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122, so that the positions of the slide block 214 and the adjustment assembly 22 are changed, and the purpose of greatly changing the position of the adjustment assembly 22 is achieved. Meanwhile, the weight of the sliding block 214 and the weight of the adjusting assembly 22 are shared by the first sliding rail 2121 and the second sliding rail 2122, which is equivalent to that the weight of the sliding block 214 and the weight of the adjusting assembly 22 are shared by four points at the joints of the first sliding rail 2121 and the second sliding rail 2122 and the guide component 11, and the safety of the sliding block 214 and the adjusting assembly 22 in the embodiment of the present application can be improved by applying force at multiple points. Meanwhile, the requirement on mechanical parameters of the single slide rail 212 is also reduced, the weight of the slide block 214 and the weight of the adjusting assembly 22 are shared by the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122, and the deflection of the first slide rail 2121 and the second slide rail 2122 can be reduced, which is beneficial to positioning the charging component 23.

X% and y% may be set equal to each other, or x% and y% may be set different from each other. In addition, when the charge of the car 4 is between x% and y%, it can be determined by the user himself whether the car 4 needs to be charged.

When the determination module determines that the vehicle 4 needs to be charged, the controller 12 controls the sliding assembly 21 and the adjusting assembly 22 to adjust the position of the charging member 23, so that the charging member 23 matches the position of the charging port of the vehicle 4.
