    摘要: Vehicle charging apparatuses and methods connect a vehicle to an external power source, the vehicle having a battery that is capable of being charged from the external power source and having a receptacle configured to receive a plug connected to the external power source. An alignment target receives at least one visual alignment beam from a vehicle, the position of the alignment beam providing visual indication to a vehicle operator that the vehicle is properly aligned relative to the charging station. A robotic arm is mounted to a structure and has a plug at a distal end thereof, the plug interconnected to the external power source and adapted to engage the vehicle receptacle to transfer power to or from the vehicle. A module may be provided for controlling the robotic arm such that said plug engages with the vehicle receptacle when the vehicle is properly aligned to receive the plug.

    摘要: A load handling device is disclosed for lifting and moving containers stacked in a storage system having a grid framework structure supporting a pathway arranged in a grid pattern above the stacks of containers. The load handling device includes a vehicle body housing a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism being powered by a rechargeable power source electrically coupled to an electrical charge point for electrically coupling with a charge head of a charge station; and a lifting device having a lifting drive assembly and a grabber device, wherein the lifting device includes the electrical charge point such that charging of the rechargeable power source occurs by the lifting device engaging with the charge head.

    摘要: When batteries of a plurality of electric autonomous moving bodies are charged, a plurality of electric autonomous moving bodies are aligned in a serial state, a second connection means of one of the electric autonomous moving bodies that are adjacent to each other in a direction in which the electric autonomous moving bodies are aligned and a first connection means of the other one of the electric autonomous moving bodies that are adjacent to each other are electrically connected to each other, and the first connection means of the electric autonomous moving body that is the closest to the charger unit and the connection means of the charger unit are electrically connected to each other. In this case, power is supplied from the charger unit to each of the electric autonomous moving bodies, thereby charging the batteries of the plurality of electric autonomous moving bodies.
