[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted here that in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention discloses an electric tool, which can be a lawn mower, or other types of electric tools, which will not be described in detail or limited in any way. For the sake of clarity, the following description will be described in detail using a lawn mower as an example.

[0033] The grass trimmer includes a grass trimmer head 100, a connecting rod and a handle assembly. The handle assembly is provided with a control assembly. The control assembly includes a PCB board and can operate and control the grass trimmer. The connecting rod is used to connect the grass trimmer head 100 and the handle assembly, and the handle assembly and the grass trimmer head 100 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rod.

[0034] The handle assembly is also provided with a power source, which is provided with a power cord passing through the connecting rod and connected to the grass trimming head 100, and the power source is used to power the grass trimming head 100 and drive the grass trimming head 100 to operate. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the power source can be an external power source, and of course, it can also be a battery pack.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the grass trimmer head 100 includes a housing 10 and a motor assembly 20, wherein the housing 10 is used to be connected to the connecting rod, and the motor assembly 20 is disposed in the housing 10. Specifically, a first cavity 101 is formed in the housing 10, and the motor assembly 20 is disposed in the first cavity 101. The opening of the first cavity 101 has a first air outlet 104, and the other side of the housing 10 has an outwardly extending extension portion 102, wherein the extension portion 102 is used to be connected to the connecting rod, and the extension portion 102 has a first air inlet 103 communicating with the first cavity 101.

[0036] In particular, the interior of the connecting rod is conductive and connected to the first air inlet 103, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the handle assembly. Such an arrangement is equivalent to the interior of the mowing head 100 being connected to the interior of the handle assembly.

[0037] Furthermore, the handle assembly is provided with a third air inlet, the first air inlet 103 and the third air inlet are connected via the connecting rod, and the control assembly is arranged between the first air inlet 103 and the third air inlet.

[0038] A heat dissipation channel is formed in the motor assembly 20, and the heat dissipation channel has a second air inlet 201 and a second air outlet 202, so that the third air inlet, the first air inlet 103, the second air inlet 201, the second air outlet 202 and the first air outlet 104 are connected in sequence.

[0039] Preferably, the second air inlet 201 is provided with a first fan blade 21 for generating air flowing through the heat dissipation channel, and the motor assembly 20 can drive the first fan blade 21 to rotate and generate airflow along the direction of the third air inlet, the first air inlet 103, the second air inlet 201, the second air outlet 202 and the first air outlet 104, so that the airflow passes through the control assembly and the motor assembly 20 in sequence for heat dissipation.

[0040] Combination Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the motor assembly 20 includes a motor housing 22, a stator assembly 23, a rotor assembly 24 and an output shaft 25. Preferably, the stator assembly 23 is an electromagnetic coil, and the rotor assembly 24 is a magnet.

[0041] It should be noted that the motor assembly 20 is an outer rotor motor, that is, the rotor assembly 24 is arranged on the outside of the stator assembly 23, the stator assembly 23 is arranged around the output shaft 25, the rotor assembly 24 is arranged around the stator assembly 23, and the rotor assembly 24 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the motor housing 22.

[0042] At the same time, the first fan blade 21 is connected to the rotor assembly 24 and the output shaft 25, the output shaft 25 is connected to the axis of the first fan blade 21, and the rotor assembly 24 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the first fan blade 21, so that when the stator assembly 23 is energized, the motor housing 22, the rotor assembly 24 and the first fan blade 21 rotate synchronously with the output shaft 25, and then the first fan blade 21 can generate an airflow flowing through the rotor assembly 24 and the stator assembly 23.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a base 11 is provided at the opening of the first cavity 101, that is, the first air outlet 104, and the base 11 is fixedly connected to the shell 10. The output shaft 25 passes through the base 11 from the shell 10, that is, the base 11 surrounds the output shaft 25. A bearing is provided between the base 11 and the output shaft 25, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the base 11, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the output shaft 25.

[0044] Combination Figure 4 As shown, along the axial direction outward of the output shaft 25, that is, the outer side of the base 11 is further provided with a second blade 26 and a driving member 261, the second blade 26 and the driving member 261 are coaxially arranged with the output shaft 25, the inner side of the driving member 261 is fixedly connected with the output shaft 25, and the outer side of the driving member 261 is transmission-connected with the second blade 26 and is used to drive the second blade 26 to rotate around the output shaft 25. The driving member 261 can be a gear, and the inner side of the second blade 26 can be a gear ring matched with a toothed structure, and there is no specific limitation, as long as the driving member 261 and the second blade 26 can be driven in sequence by the output shaft 25 to transmit the output.

[0045] It can be understood that, since the first blade 21 and the second blade 26 are both coaxially connected to the output shaft 25, the first blade 21 and the second blade 26 can rotate synchronously.

[0046] Since the first fan blade 21 is located at the second air inlet 201 , the first fan blade 21 is preferably axial flow type, so that the airflow generated by the first fan blade 21 flows along the axial direction of the output shaft 25 .

[0047] Combination Figure 4 As shown, since the second blade 26 is located outside the housing 10, the diameter of the second blade 26 is greater than the diameter of the first blade 21, the second blade 26 is preferably centrifugal, and a third air outlet 262 is provided between the connected blades of the second blade 26, the blades of the second blade 26 are perpendicular to the plane where the base 11 is located, and the opening direction of the third air outlet 262 is radially outward along the output shaft 25, so that the axial airflow along the output shaft 25 generated by the first blade 21 is changed to be discharged radially outward from the output shaft 25. That is: the airflow flowing out of the second air outlet 202 can flow out from the third air outlet 262 and the first air outlet 104 under the action of the second blade 26 to take away the heat of the stator assembly 23 and the rotor assembly 24.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 5 to Figure 6As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wind shield 30 is provided between the motor assembly 20 and the first air inlet 103, and the wind shield 30 is used to extend the path of the airflow from the first air inlet 103 directly to the first air outlet 104. Since the first fan blade 21 is axial flow type, the first fan blade 21 generates negative pressure with the second air inlet 201 when rotating, so that the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 103 flows toward the second air inlet 201.

[0049] The wind shield 30 is located in the shell 10, and the wind shield 30 is fixed on the base 11 and extends in the direction away from the base 11, that is, the wind shield 30 extends in the direction from the first air outlet 104 to the top of the shell 10, so as to be opposite to the air flow direction in the heat dissipation channel. The wind shield 30 extends in the shell 10, and there is a gap between the wind shield 30 and the inner wall of the shell 10, and the gap is for air flow to flow from the first air inlet 103 to the second air inlet 201.

[0050] Furthermore, a second cavity 31 is formed in the wind shield 30 , which is equivalent to a receiving space formed inside the wind shield 30 . A plug-in seat 32 is provided in the second cavity 31 , and the plug-in seat 32 is used to be electrically connected to the motor assembly 20 .

[0051] The base 11 is provided with an installation opening for installing the insert seat 32, the orthographic projection of the motor assembly 20 on the plane where the base 11 is located does not overlap with the installation opening, and the wind shield 30 is fixed at the installation opening and located on the inner side of the housing 10.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, a baffle 33 for shielding the mounting opening is provided on the other side of the mounting opening, and the baffle 33 shields the mounting opening to prevent airflow from the first air inlet 103 directly flowing from the mounting opening to the first air outlet 104. A wiring opening 34 for the power supply line to pass through is formed between the baffle 33 and the base 11, and one end of the wire is connected to the plug seat 32, and the other end passes through the wiring opening 34 to connect to the motor assembly 20.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the present invention, the grass trimmer head 100 can be divided into a first part and a second part that can be detached from each other, wherein the first part includes the housing 10, the windshield 30 and a blade seat 32 provided in the windshield 30, the windshield 30 is fixed in the housing 10, and the second part includes a base 11 and the motor assembly 20. After the first part and the second part are installed and fixed, the motor assembly 20 is electrically connected to the blade seat 32 so that the power supply assembly provided in the handle assembly supplies power to the motor assembly 20. Of course, it can be understood that, during disassembly, by separating the first part and the second part from each other so that the motor assembly 20 can be disassembled separately, and by replacing the second part separately, that is, replacing the motor assembly 20 and the base 11, the replacement efficiency can be improved.

[0054] In summary, the present invention solves the problems of difficulty in later motor disassembly, time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring many tools, and easy damage to parts. By providing the wind shield 30, the air duct of the whole product is optimized, so that the power of the whole machine can be increased and the cost of PCB boards can be reduced, and the problem of failure of the whole machine due to loose connection between the motor and the power cord is solved.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
