Multi=block robot system e.g. for logistics and power supply to electric vehicles

摘要

The multi=block system includes E-stops for electric vehicles, equipped with control columns, proximity sensors and aerial units with integrated remote control units. Also with self operating column and lowering coupling units, for the charging current supply of the vehicles with self operating battery changers. The electric vehicles have swivel arms with self operation compatible with the E-stop, and multi-axis joint arms and horizontal and vertical battery blocks for an automatic battery exchange using the battery changer of an E-stop. The coupling units and the electric vehicles are provided with check card readers compatible to each other. The vehicle has equipment matching that of the E-stop, including proximity switches and automatic navigation units, so that it engages with the couplings of the E-stop. The electric vehicle has an onboard computer, control buttons and monitor for coarse and fine positioning. The check cards have suitable programme codes. The E-stops are connected to multi-block power stations and the mains also the telephone system with the use of modems. The E-stops and the vehicle are equipped with multi-block standard parts (1), flange plug connections (9') and rotary flange plug connections (2, 27).
