Figure 27. Charger
KEY: 1. Socket guide - 2. Metal strip - 3. Rotating cover - 4. Charge socket
The charger is installed under the feed loading point in the feed kitchen. The charger charges the
batteries of the Mixing and Feeding Robot.
At approximately 75 cm (29.5 in) from the charger, the Mixing and Feeding Robot drives slowly to the
charger. When the Feeding Robot pushes against the socket guide (1), the socket cover (3) is pulled away
exposing the socket. The plug from the Feeding Robot connects to the socket (4) and the Feeding Robot
stops driving. The batteries are charged until they are fully charged, or until the Mixing and Feeding Robot
must do a feed or scan task.
A second charger for a second Mixing and Feeding Robot is installed at the parking position near the feed
kitchen. To be able to determine that it is the second charger, there must be no metal strip under the
Mixing and Feeding Robot when it is in the second charger.
