UBTECH ROBOTICS announced patents related to robot self-recharging

According to the Qichacha APP, recently, UBTECH ROBOTICS' patent for "robot self-replacement power structure, device, and method" has been published. The patent abstract shows that the robot self-replacement power structure includes a robot body, an end effector, and at least two battery units. The robot body includes a skeletal structure and a first connecting component set on the skeletal structure. The first connecting component includes a first feedback part that cooperates with the end effector and a first connecting part that cooperates to connect the battery unit to the skeletal structure. The battery unit includes a battery body and a connection board, with a second connecting component set on the end side of the connection board. The second connecting component includes a sliding frame and an elastic part. The end effector controls the grabbing and releasing of the battery unit in response to the pressure from the sliding frame. When replacing the battery, the battery that is not removed can provide energy to the robot body and the end effector. During the battery handling process, the end effector will contact the first feedback part and the sliding frame, and through sensors, it detects whether the installation is in place, making the battery replacement process of the end effector safer
