Design and implementation of an automatic charging system for intelligent patrol robot

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the design and implementation of an automatic charging system for the intelligent patrol robot. An economic and practical method combined with the infrared sensor and laser sensor is developed to realize the accurate automatic charge docking. The phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS-PWM converter is adopted to design an automatic charging pile, which uses a constant voltage limited current charging mode and improve the efficiency of the charging. Several simulations and experiments are implemented to test the automatic charge docking system, and the results could demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the system.
