[0002] A range extender is an auxiliary power unit used to increase the driving range of an electric system. It is commonly found in operational robots such as snowplows and unmanned transport vehicles. Range extenders can charge batteries, thereby extending the robot's working time. The working principle of a range extender is as follows: when the battery power is low, the range extender starts, and the internal combustion engine within the range extender drives a generator. The electricity generated by the generator can charge the battery, maintaining or extending the robot's driving range. For example, snowplows are equipped with range extenders to ensure long-term operation in extremely cold environments.

[0035] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mounting device 1, which includes a first support frame 11, a second support frame 12, and a binding assembly 13;

[0037] The first support frame 11 is used to be fixedly installed on the body 2 of the snow sweeping robot;

[0038] The second support frame 12 includes a vertically arranged back frame 121 and a horizontally arranged support plate 122 on the back frame 121. The back frame 121 is detachably connected to the first support frame 11. The support plate 122 is used to support the component 10 to be mounted. The support plate 122 has a first vertical plate 1221 and a second vertical plate 1222 at opposite ends. The first vertical plate 1221 is connected to the bottom end of the back frame 121.

[0039] The back frame 121 includes at least one first back support rod 1211 and at least one second back support rod 1212, wherein the first back support rod 1211 and the second back support rod 1212 intersect.

[0040] The binding assembly 13 includes a first binding member 131 and a second binding member 132. The first binding member 131 connects the first back support rod 1211 and the second vertical plate 1222. The second binding member 132 connects the opposite ends of the second back support rod 1212. The first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 are used to limit the object to be mounted 10 on the support plate 122.

[0041] The first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 include, but are not limited to, binding straps and binding ropes; the back frame 121 can be detachably installed on the first support frame 11 through snap-fit ​​structure, hanging structure and plug-in structure; the items to be mounted 10 include, but are not limited to, range extenders, battery packs, storage baskets, etc.; the first back support rod 1211 and the second back support rod 1212 can be integrally formed, and the first back support rod 1211 can be perpendicular to the second back support rod 1212.

[0042] In this invention, the first support frame 11 is fixedly mounted on the body 2 of the snow sweeping robot, and the second support frame 12 is mounted on the back of the first support frame 11. After the mounting component 10 is placed on the support plate 122, the opposite ends of the first binding member 131 are respectively connected to the second vertical plate 1222 and the first back support rod 1211, and the opposite ends of the second binding member 132 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the second back support rod 1212. Thus, the first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 can limit the mounting component 10 on the support plate 122, and the first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 can limit the mounting component 10 on the support plate 122. The 132 can be configured in a "well" or "X" shape for binding, ensuring the stability of the component 10 to be mounted on the second support frame 12. In addition, the support plate 122 extends toward the end away from the first support frame 11, and the second vertical plate 1222 is located at the rear end of the support plate 122. Thus, the second vertical plate 1222 can limit the component 10 to be mounted on the support plate 122. Moreover, the support plate 122 has a certain degree of elasticity and can support the component 10 to be mounted from the bottom. Therefore, the mounting device 1 also has shock resistance, ensuring the stability of the robot when it moves the mounting device 1 and the component 10 to be mounted.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the back frame 121 includes two horizontally arranged first back support rods 1211 and two vertically arranged second back support rods 1212, and a first weight reduction hole 1213 is provided between the two first back support rods 1211 and the two second back support rods 1212.

[0044] The second support frame 12 also includes a reinforcing plate 123 mounted on the back frame 121 and disposed opposite to the first weight reduction hole 1213.

[0045] Each of the second back support rods 1212 passes through two of the first back support rods 1211, and the two first back support rods 1211 and the two second back support rods 1212 form a rectangular structural member; the thickness of the reinforcing plate 123 is less than the thickness of the back frame 121, and the reinforcing plate 123 can be an I-shaped structural member, and the reinforcing plate 123 fits into the first weight reduction hole 1213.

[0046] In this embodiment, the design of the first weight-reducing hole 1213 reduces the weight of the second support frame 12; the design of the reinforcing plate 123 improves the strength and rigidity of the second support frame 12.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcing plate 123 is disposed on the side of the back frame 121 near the first support frame 11, and the two ends of the reinforcing plate 123 are respectively connected to two second back support rods 1212;

[0048] The mounting device 1 also includes a mounting plate 14 disposed on the side of the first support frame 11 near the back frame 121, and the mounting plate 14 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 141.

[0049] The reinforcing plate 123 has a plurality of hooking protrusions 1231 on the side away from the back frame 121, and the hooking protrusions 1231 are used to hook one-to-one with the hooking holes 141.

[0050] The hooking protrusion 1231 extends into the hooking hole 141. Due to gravity, the hooking protrusion 1231 can be hooked onto the hooking plate 14, thereby completing the installation of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12.

[0051] In this embodiment, the design of the hook protrusion 1231 and the hook hole 141 improves the ease of assembly and disassembly between the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the first vertical plate 1221 is connected to the intersection of the first back support rod 1211 and the second back support rod 1212.

[0053] The intersection of the first back support rod 1211 and the second back support rod 1212 has high strength and rigidity. The first vertical plate 1221 is installed at the intersection of the first back support rod 1211 and the second back support rod 1212, which ensures the stability of the support plate 122 installed on the second support frame 12.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first vertical plate 1221 includes a top surface, a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The opposite ends of the first inclined surface are respectively connected to the top surface and the first side surface, and the opposite ends of the second inclined surface are respectively connected to the top surface and the second side surface.

[0055] A first corner 12211 is provided between one end of the top surface and the first inclined surface, and a second corner 12212 is provided between the other end of the top surface and the second inclined surface. Both the first corner 12211 and the second corner 12212 are attached to the first back support rod 1211.

[0056] A second corner 12213 is provided between the end of the first inclined surface away from the top surface and the first side surface, and a fourth corner 12214 is provided between the end of the second inclined surface away from the top surface and the second side surface. Both the second corner 12213 and the fourth corner 12214 are attached to the second back support rod 1212.

[0057] The first vertical plate 1221 is a trapezoidal structural member, with the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface being symmetrical, and the first side surface and the second inclined surface being symmetrical.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first corner 12211 and the second corner 12212 of the first vertical plate 1221 are both attached to the first back support rod 1211, and the second corner 12213 and the fourth corner 12214 of the first vertical plate 1221 are both attached to the second back support rod 1212. Thus, the first back support rod 1211 can cover the first corner 12211 and the second corner 12212, and the second back support rod 1212 can cover the second corner 12213 and the fourth corner 12214. All corners of the first vertical plate 1221 will not be exposed, thus avoiding the accident of scratching or abrading the load 10 due to the exposed corners of the first vertical plate 1221.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the binding assembly 13 includes at least two first binding members 131 that are parallel to each other, and the first binding members 131 intersect with the second binding members 132.

[0060] The first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 are perpendicular to each other.

[0061] In this embodiment, the design of the two first binding members 131 further ensures the stability of the component to be mounted 10 on the second support frame 12.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second support frame 12 also includes a plurality of buffer pads 124, which are spaced apart and installed on the side of the back frame 121 facing the support plate 122. The buffer pads 124 are used to abut against the component 10 to be mounted.

[0063] The buffer pad 124 includes, but is not limited to, rubber pads, and the number of buffer pads 124 can be set according to actual needs.

[0064] In this embodiment, the buffer pad 124 abuts against the side of the component 10 to be mounted facing the first support frame 11, so that the buffer pad 124 can play the role of buffering and shock absorption, further ensuring the stability of the component 10 to be mounted on the second support frame 12.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first support frame 11 includes a back frame body 111, a first arm 112, a second arm 113, and a support arm 114.

[0066] The first arm 112 and the second arm 113 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the back frame 111. The first arm 112 and the second arm 113 are used to hold and connect the body 2 of the snow sweeping robot. The back frame 121 is detachably connected to the back frame 111.

[0067] The support arm 114 is located at the bottom of the back frame 111 and is used to connect to the main body 2 of the snow sweeping robot.

[0068] The first arm 112 and the second arm 113 are both located above the back frame 111, and the support arm 114 is located below the back frame 111; the back frame 111, the first arm 112, the second arm 113 and the support arm 114 are integrally formed parts.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first arm 112 and the second arm 113 can hold the snow sweeping robot body 2 tightly, and the support arm 114 can connect to the snow robot body 2 from below, ensuring the stability of the first support frame 11 installed on the snow robot body 2.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention also provides a snow-sweeping robot, including a body 2 and the aforementioned mounting device 1; the first support frame 11 is mounted on the body 2.

[0071] The main body 2 includes, but is not limited to, tracked robots, walking vehicles, etc., and is equipped with a snow sweeping mechanism.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the snow sweeping robot also includes a range extender, which is mounted on the support plate 122. The first binding member 131 and the second binding member 132 are used to bind the range extender to the second support frame 12.

[0073] The main body 2 contains a battery, and the range extender is electrically connected to the battery. When the battery power decreases, the range extender starts, and the internal combustion engine in the range extender drives the generator. The electricity generated by the generator can charge the battery, maintaining or extending the snow removal robot's range. In cold environments, snow removal robots have long working hours and limited battery capacity, so the range extender is equipped to ensure all-weather operation.

[0074] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
