[0067] The rechargeable garden vehicle has the advantages of all - weather zero - emission, zero fuel consumption, low noise, and simple maintenance (no gasoline, no engine oil, no air filter, no spark plug, no fuel storage, etc.) compared with the traditional fuel - powered garden vehicle. The power system of the rechargeable garden vehicle uses an electric motor instead of a fuel engine, and the electric motors of the drive wheels can be controlled separately to achieve movement control of the whole vehicle such as going straight, reversing, turning, and zero - turning, reducing the structural complexity of the whole vehicle and making the control of the whole vehicle more flexible.

[0068] The rechargeable garden vehicle is a complex device system composed of multiple functional components that achieve various functions. The most crucial mechanism among them is the combination of various electric motors and other functional components used. In the rechargeable garden vehicle, it is necessary to provide safe, precise, and stable control for each functional component to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the entire vehicle.

[0069] This embodiment discloses a multi-functional garden vehicle, which includes: a vehicle frame 1, a functional mechanism, a power supply system 6, and a seat 5. The seat 5 is used to carry the user. When driving the garden vehicle, the user sits on the seat 5 and holds the steering rod to drive the vehicle.

[0070] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , the garden vehicle of this embodiment includes a first steering rod 2 and a second steering rod 3, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle and are used to control the operation of the walking components on the corresponding side. A control handle 4 is arranged on the steering rod, and the control handle can control some functions of the garden vehicle; a light strip is also arranged on the steering rod, and the light strip can be lit to display certain information.

[0071] In one optional embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 1 , the garden vehicle is also equipped with a charging port 9 for charging the power supply system 6.

[0072] The functional mechanism is used to perform specific functions of the multi-functional garden vehicle; the power supply system 6 is arranged on the vehicle frame 1 and is used to supply power to the functional mechanism, etc. The vehicle control system is arranged on the vehicle frame 1 and is used to control at least one functional mechanism to generate a change in the functional state. The steering rod is rotationally controlled around a first axis, and the first axis is parallel to the left and right directions of the vehicle.

[0073] Further explanation: A part of the above-mentioned power supply system 6 is detachably connected to the vehicle frame 1. The power supply system 6 includes a plurality of battery units. The plurality of battery units can select at least one of the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack. The specification differences between the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack include, but are not limited to, differences in battery pack capacity, voltage, battery internal resistance, weight, size, energy density, cell type, charge information, battery health status information, etc.

[0074] In some alternative embodiments, the difference between the first - specification battery pack and the second - specification battery pack lies in the different battery - pack capacities. The capacity of the first - specification battery pack is greater than that of the second - specification battery pack. The second - specification battery pack is configured to power a handheld gardening tool. For example, the second - specification battery pack can power garden tools such as a lawn mower, a pruning machine, a blower, a chainsaw, etc. In addition, the second - specification battery pack can also power torque - output tools such as an electric drill and a jackhammer; power sawing tools such as a circular saw, a jigsaw, a reciprocating saw, etc., or power grinding tools such as an angle grinder and a sander.

[0075] In some alternative embodiments, the difference between the first - specification battery pack and the second - specification battery pack lies in the different types of battery cells selected. For example, the first - specification battery pack and the second - specification battery pack can select lithium iron phosphate battery cells and lithium - nickel - cobalt - manganese oxide battery cells respectively. Multiple battery units in the power supply system 6 can also select nickel - chromium battery cells, lead - acid battery cells, graphene battery cells, etc.

[0076] Multiple battery units of the power supply system 6 select at least one of the first - specification battery pack and the second - specification battery pack. This way enables the multi - functional vehicle to be compatible with different - specification battery packs, meeting the high - power working requirements while also being able to adapt to handheld electric gardening tools, making the working mode of garden workers more flexible.

[0077] In one alternative embodiment, the power supply system 6 further includes a battery compartment and a battery management system, etc. The battery compartment is used to accommodate the battery pack, and the battery management system is used to manage the power supply of the battery to each component of the vehicle.

[0078] In one alternative embodiment, the battery compartment and / or the battery management system are configured on the vehicle frame, and the battery pack is detachably configured in the battery compartment, which is used to realize the detachable and replaceable battery pack, and the removed battery pack can be used for the above - mentioned other electric gardening tools.

[0079] In one alternative embodiment, the battery compartment is detachably configured on the vehicle frame, and the battery pack is accommodated in the battery compartment, that is, the battery compartment can be separated from or combined with the vehicle frame as a whole.

[0080] In one specific alternative embodiment, a power - supply interface is configured on the vehicle frame, and the battery compartment is hung on the vehicle and electrically connected to the power - supply interface. The detachable battery compartment as a whole enables the user to complete the replacement of all battery packs at the fastest speed. That is, when it is necessary to replenish the electric energy of the vehicle by replacing the battery pack, replacing the battery compartment as a whole has higher efficiency.

[0081] The functional mechanism at least includes a gardening operation component and a traveling assembly. The gardening operation component is connected to the vehicle frame 1 and is used for performing gardening operations. The traveling assembly is disposed on the vehicle frame 1. The traveling assembly is drivingly connected to the drive wheels on both sides of the vehicle frame 1 and is used for driving the multi-functional gardening vehicle to travel.

[0082] The multi-functional gardening vehicle further includes an active steering assembly. The active steering assembly is operably coupled to the traveling assembly of the multi-functional gardening vehicle and is used for generating a speed difference between the drive wheels on both sides to achieve the steering of the gardening vehicle.

[0083] In addition, referring to the appendix Figure 2 , a display screen that can be disassembled without tools is configured on the active steering assembly. That is, the user can disassemble the display screen by hand without the aid of tools. The disassembled display screen can be freely controlled by the user, giving the user a higher degree of freedom in controlling the gardening vehicle.

[0084] In one optional embodiment, the display screen is a touch screen 44 that can be controlled by the user's touch. When the touch screen 44 is controlled by the user, the functional state of the functional mechanism is changed. For example, the working mode of the gardening operation component is changed by operating the touch screen 44.

[0085] In one optional embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 1 , the active steering assembly is configured as a steering rod. The steering rod pivots on the vehicle frame 1 and the deflection angle of the steering rod is positively correlated with the rotational speed of the driving motor. The steering rod can deflect forward or backward around a first axis on the vehicle frame 1, and the steering rod has a first forward position where it deflects to the most forward, a first backward position where it deflects to the most backward, and an intermediate position. The above-mentioned first axis is parallel to the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0086] Specifically, when the steering rod is in the intermediate position, the driving motor does not drive the drive wheels to rotate, and at this time the vehicle is in a stationary state. When the steering rod is in the first forward position, the real-time rotational speed of the driving motor is equal to the maximum rotational speed of its current speed range. When the steering rod is between the intermediate position and the first forward position, the real-time rotational speed of the driving motor is less than the maximum rotational speed of the current speed range, and when the steering rod continues to deflect towards the first forward position, the real-time rotational speed of the driving motor increases.

[0087] Referring to the appendix Figure 1 , the rotating rod includes a control handle 4 for the user to hold. The display screen is disposed on the side where the thumb is located when the control handle 4 is held by the user. Thus, it is convenient for the user to operate the display screen with the thumb, and the position closer to the thumb side is also relatively closer to the user's direct front, so that the user does not need to significantly change the line of sight when observing the display screen, reducing the operation burden of the user due to observing and operating the display screen.

[0088] Reference appendix Figure 2 and appendix Figure 4 , in the figure, the control handle 4 is provided with a first signal connection port 4501 at the position where it cooperates with the display screen; correspondingly, reference appendix Figure 3 , at the display screen, a second signal connection port 4502 is provided, and the two ports cooperate with each other to realize the communication between the display screen and the gardening vehicle. The second signal connection port 4502 shown in the figure is a male Type-C connector, and the first signal connection port 4501 is a female Type-C connector. When the display screen is assembled to the control handle 4, the first signal connection port 4501 fits inside the second signal connection port 4502 for realizing the communication between the two. At the same time, since the power consumption of the display screen is relatively small, the vehicle can also supply power to the display screen through this Type-C port.

[0089] In addition, in another alternative embodiment, the display screen is configured with a female Type-C connector, and the control handle 4 is configured with a male Type-C connector to ensure that there is no obvious outward protrusion on the outer surface of the display screen side, facilitating the separate and stable placement of the removed display screen on a certain plane.

[0090] In another alternative embodiment, the multi-functional gardening vehicle further includes a wireless signal module wirelessly connected to the display screen, and the display screen forms a wireless signal connection with the functional mechanism through the wireless signal module. Specifically, the wireless signal module can be implemented as one or more communication modules among infrared communication, wireless local area network (Wi-Fi), near field communication (NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth, etc., for the display screen to communicate and interact with each functional mechanism of the vehicle.

[0091] Furthermore, the aforementioned first signal connection port 4501 and second signal connection port 4502 can also be selected as other common USB interfaces, etc. Those skilled in the art should be able to adaptively replace the Type-C interfaces of the control handle 4 and the display screen in this embodiment with various signal connection ports without creative labor, and the above should all be included in the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0092] Reference appendix Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the gardening operation component is a cutting table 8 connected to the vehicle frame 1, and the cutting table 8 includes a cutter that rotates to mow the grass. In other embodiments, this gardening operation component can also be selected as a component with gardening operation functions such as snow sweeping, snow blowing, snow shoveling, flushing, bucket, etc., or a component for grasping and transporting goods, etc., which can assist in construction during gardening operations. Those skilled in the art should be able to adaptively replace the operation components in this embodiment with various functional components without creative labor, and the above should all be included in the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0093] As described above, when the gardening operation component is the cutting table 8, the multi-functional gardening vehicle is a lawn mower; further, if the gardening operation component is a snow-sweeping component, then the multi-functional gardening vehicle is a snow sweeper; that is, the gardening operation component, as the main functional component of the multi-functional gardening vehicle, can be changed according to the user's choice; at the same time, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned gardening operation component can also be a component that the user replaces according to actual needs. For example, if the cutting table 8 for mowing is removed and replaced with a sweeping disc for sweeping, then the lawn mower is changed to a sweeper; in summary: when the gardening operation component is replaced with any functional component according to the user's needs, it should not be understood as breaking through the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0094] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Appendix Figure 2 and Appendix Figure 4 , an installation groove 4503 for accommodating the display screen is provided at the control handle 4. Assembling the display screen in the installation groove 4503 can not only produce a limiting effect on it, but also effectively reduce or eliminate the display screen protruding from the surface of the control handle 4, reducing the force generated when an external device or the user touches the side of the display screen and causing the display screen to disengage from the control handle 4.

[0095] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Appendix Figure 2 and Appendix Figure 3 , a card slot 4504 is provided in the installation groove 4503, the display screen is provided with a card block 4505 that cooperates with the card slot 4504, and the control handle 4 is provided with an unlocking member that releases the cooperation state of the card block 4505 and the card slot 4504 when manipulated by the user;

[0096] When the card block 4505 cooperates with the card slot 4504, the card slot 4504 produces a limiting effect on the card block 4505 to prevent the display screen from disengaging from the installation groove 4503, so as to realize the reliable assembly of the display screen on the control handle 4.

[0097] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Appendix Figure 6 and Appendix Figure 7 , a locking block 4506 is provided in the card slot 4504. The locking block 4506 abuts against the card block 4505 when the card block 4505 cooperates with the card slot 4504 to prevent the display screen from disengaging from the installation groove 4503. That is, the locking block 4506 is a component used to achieve a locking effect on the card block 4505; specifically, the card block 4505 has an abutting surface perpendicular to the extending direction of the card slot 4504. After the card block 4505 is inserted into the card slot 4504, the abutting surface of the card block 4505 abuts against the locking block 4506 to prevent the card block 4505 from disengaging from the card slot 4504 along the extending direction of the card slot 4504.

[0098] Further, the above-mentioned latch 4505 has a certain elasticity, and this elastic force enables the latch 4505 to have a force moving towards the locking block 4506, so as to keep the abutting surface of the latch 4505 always in abutment with the locking block 4506.

[0099] In an alternative embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 7 , the figure shows a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the control handle 4, which shows the specific structure of the unlocking member. As shown in the figure, the unlocking member includes a push rod 4507 and a reset member 4508; the push rod 4507 is movably connected to the control handle 4 and is used to separate the locking block 4506 from the latch 4505 when being manipulated by the user; specifically, when the push rod 4507 is manipulated by the user, it moves downward and presses the latch 4505 until the latch 4505 is separated from the locking block 4506. At this time, the locking effect of the locking block 4506 on the latch 4505 is lost, and the display screen can be removed from the control handle 4.

[0100] Further, referring to the appendix Figure 7 , an unlocking hole 45061 for the push rod 4507 to penetrate is formed on the locking block 4506. When the unlocking member is not manipulated by the user, one end of the push rod 4507 is located in the unlocking hole 45061; when the unlocking member is manipulated by the user, the push rod 4507 moves along the through hole and exerts a pressing effect on the latch 4505. The above-mentioned unlocking hole 45061 can guide the push rod 4507 to avoid the situation that the push rod 4507 cannot effectively abut against the latch 4505 when the unlocking member is manipulated by the user.

[0101] The reset member 4508 is connected to the push rod 4507 and is used to automatically reset the push rod 4507 to the initial state. As mentioned above, when the unlocking member is not manipulated by the user, one end of the push rod 4507 is located in the through hole and does not exert a pressing effect on the latch 4505. In this embodiment, a resilient reset member 4508 is configured. The reset member 4508 deforms when pressed and pushes the push rod 4507 to move. On the contrary, when the reset member 4508 is not pressed, it resets under its own elastic action. Further, the reset member 4508 should be made of a material with good elasticity such as plastic or metal sheet.

[0102] Further, referring to the appendix again Figure 7 , the unlocking member in this embodiment further includes a protective layer 4509 and a spacer 4510. The protective layer 4509 is disposed on the outer wall of the control handle 4 to prevent external moisture from entering the interior of the control handle 4 through this place; the spacer 4510 is disposed between the protective layer 4509 and the reset member 4508 and is used to conduct the manipulation of the protective layer 4509 by the user to the reset member 4508 to achieve effective manipulation of the reset member 4508.

[0103] In another alternative embodiment, an installation groove 4503 for accommodating a display screen is arranged at the control handle 4. An elastic member 4511 is arranged in the installation groove 4503. When the display screen is arranged in the installation groove 4503, the elastic member 4511 generates an elastic force on the display screen. This elastic force is a thrust force that causes the display screen to move outwards, and this thrust force can keep the abutting surface of the latch 4505 in contact with the locking block 4506. At the same time, the presence of the elastic member 4511 can also prevent the display screen from shaking in the installation groove 4503, that is, it can avoid the situation where the display screen frequently shakes in the installation groove 4503 and impacts the inner wall of the installation groove 4503, resulting in damage.
