An automatic charging device for an AGV on an automated container terminal and a charging method using the same are disclosed. The automatic charging device comprises a vehicle-mounted device and a ground device. The vehicle-mounted device comprises RFID read-write coils, a charging connector buffer device, a charging connector, a power measuring module, a vehicle charging controller and a vehicle-mounted wireless module. The ground device comprises an RFID label array, a power panel, a conductive groove, a pressure sensor, an electromagnet, a ground charging controller and a ground wireless module. The hook shaped charging plug, the charging connector buffer device and the power panel with the electromagnet improve success rate of connection between the power supply and the plug, and improve AGV working efficiency. RFID technology is used for positioning the charging region with high reliability. The pressure sensor and the safety cover ensure safety of the charging process and prevent electric leakage. |
