In addition, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0046] In the present application, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that relative terms (e.g., "about," "approximately," "substantially," etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, the relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a specific value, the tolerances caused by manufacturing, assembly, and use associated with a specific value, and the like. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to plus or minus a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. In addition, "substantially" may refer to plus or minus a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) on the basis of the indicated angle when expressing a relative angular position relationship (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular).

[0047] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts.

[0048] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, the bottom can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower back, etc.

[0049] See also Figure 1 The present application provides an electric tool 100, which is a mechanical tool for trimming lawns, plants, etc. It can be a long-pole trimmer. The electric tool 100 is described as a lawn edger.

[0050] See also Figures 1 to 5 The lawn trimmer includes an output shaft 110, a front housing 210, a rear housing 220, a connecting assembly 300, a motor 400 and a transmission assembly 500. The output shaft 110 is used to install a blade 120 for cutting grass, the front housing 210 accommodates at least part of the output shaft 110, the rear housing 220 is formed with a coupling portion 221 for coupling with a battery pack 600, the connecting assembly 300 is used to connect the front housing 210 and the rear housing 220, and the motor 400 is installed to the rear housing 220. The transmission assembly 500 is used to realize power transmission between the motor 400 and the output shaft 110, so that the motor 400 can drive the output shaft 110 to rotate, so that the blade 120 rotates to achieve cutting.

[0051] In some embodiments, the connection assembly 300 includes a connection tube 310 for connecting the front housing 210 and the rear housing 220 , and the transmission assembly 500 includes a transmission shaft at least partially disposed in the connection tube 310 , and the connection tube 310 protects the transmission shaft.

[0052] In other embodiments, the connection assembly 300 includes a connection tube 310, and the connection tube 310 is used to connect the front housing 210 and the rear housing 220. The transmission assembly 500 includes a first transmission shaft 510, a second transmission shaft 520, and a connection shaft 530, wherein the first transmission shaft 510 is used to connect with the motor 400 and is disposed at the rear end of the connection tube 310, the second transmission shaft 520 is used to drive the output shaft 110, and the connection shaft 530 connects the first transmission shaft 510 and the second transmission shaft 520, and the connection shaft 530 is at least partially disposed in the connection tube 310.

[0053] The first transmission shaft 510 is connected to the motor 400 through a gear mechanism, a first gear is provided on the motor shaft 410 of the motor 400, a second gear is provided on the first transmission shaft 510, and the first gear is meshed with the second gear. The first gear and the second gear may be spur gears. The first transmission shaft 510 is connected to the connecting shaft 530 through a first joint, and the second transmission shaft 520 is connected to the connecting shaft 530 through a second joint. The second transmission shaft 520 is connected to the output shaft 110 through a gear mechanism, a third gear is provided on the second transmission shaft 520, a fourth gear is provided on the output shaft 110, and the third gear is meshed with the fourth gear. The third gear and the fourth gear may be helical gears.

[0054] The lawn edge trimmer further includes a main handle 710 and an auxiliary handle 720. The main handle 710 is mounted to the connection assembly 300 for the user to hold, and the main handle 710 is located between the rear housing 220 and the auxiliary handle 720. Both the main handle 710 and the auxiliary handle 720 are connected to the connection pipe 310. In this embodiment, the auxiliary handle 720 extends to the upper side of the connection pipe 310. When the operator is operating, one hand holds the main handle 710 and the other hand holds the auxiliary handle 720, which is convenient for holding.

[0055] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the connecting tube 310 is bent and extended so that the blade 120 is away from the operator to ensure operational safety. Since the connecting tube 310 is bent, the connecting shaft 530 located in the connecting tube 310 also needs to be bent, so the connecting shaft 530 is set as a flexible shaft, and the torque is transmitted through the flexible shaft, and the flexible shaft can withstand a larger torque.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the connecting tube 310 includes a straight tube portion 311 and a curved tube portion 312 connected to each other, the straight tube portion 311 is connected to the rear shell 220, and the curved tube portion 312 is connected to the front shell 210. Among them, the main handle 710 and the auxiliary handle 720 are both arranged at the rear end of the connecting tube 310. This arrangement of the straight tube portion 311 at the rear and the curved tube portion 312 at the front is convenient for the user to operate at the rear end, so that the blade 120 at the front end is away from the operator. Generally, the operator stands on the left side of the connecting tube 310 to hold the main handle 710 and the auxiliary handle 720, so the bending direction of the connecting tube 310 is toward the right side of the connecting tube 310, so that the blade 120 at the front end is away from the operator.

[0057] The bending angle of the curved tube portion 312 relative to the straight tube portion 311 is greater than or equal to 135° and less than or equal to 155°. In some embodiments, the bending angle of the curved tube portion 312 relative to the straight tube portion 311 is greater than or equal to 140° and less than or equal to 150°. In some embodiments, the bending angle of the curved tube portion 312 relative to the straight tube portion 311 is equal to 150°. By bending smoothly, vibration and noise are reduced. Figure 6 α represents the bending angle of the curved tube portion 312 relative to the straight tube portion 311 .

[0058] The radius of curvature of the curved tube portion 312 is greater than or equal to 400 mm and less than or equal to 500 mm. In some embodiments, the radius of curvature of the curved tube portion 312 is greater than or equal to 420 mm and less than or equal to 480 mm. In one embodiment, the radius of curvature of the curved tube portion 312 is 450 mm.

[0059] When the bending angle of the curved tube portion 312 relative to the straight tube portion 311 is equal to 150° and the curvature radius of the curved tube portion 312 is 450 mm, it can meet the use requirements and effectively reduce noise and vibration.

[0060] Along the direction parallel to the straight tube portion 311, the length of the connecting tube 310 is greater than or equal to 1400 mm. With a greater length, the blade 120 is farther away from the operator and the operating range is larger. In one embodiment, the connecting shaft 530 can withstand at least 27 N·m of torque. The diameter of the connecting shaft 530 is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 7 mm. In some embodiments, the diameter of the connecting shaft 530 can be 6 mm. The length of the connecting shaft 530 is greater than or equal to 1350 mm and less than or equal to 1500 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the connecting shaft 530 is greater than or equal to 1400 mm and less than or equal to 1450 mm.

[0061] The rotation axis of the output shaft 110 is substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the straight tube portion 311 , so that the blade 120 is as far away from the operator as possible and the blade 120 is convenient for cutting in a vertical plane.

[0062] In some embodiments, the connecting tube 310 may be a carbon fiber tube. Carbon fiber is an existing material, and the carbon fiber tube has the advantages of high strength, long life, corrosion resistance, light weight, low density, etc. It can not only reduce weight, but also maintain high strength when bent. In other embodiments, the connecting tube 310 includes an aluminum tube and a nylon tube, the nylon tube is inserted into the aluminum tube, and the connecting shaft 530 is at least partially disposed in the nylon tube.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9, the lawn trimmer also includes a first communication unit 610 and a terminal device 620. The first communication unit 610 is a wireless communication unit, which can send information to the terminal device 620 or receive information from the terminal device 620. The terminal device 620 includes a second communication unit 621, and the first communication unit 610 is connected to the second communication unit 621 by wireless communication, and the terminal device 620 can display the status information of the lawn trimmer. By displaying the status information of the lawn trimmer on the terminal device 620, it is convenient for users to understand the working status of the lawn trimmer in time without being restricted by location. Through the terminal device 620, users can understand the machine information on the APP, monitor the working status of the machine, and upgrade and update the machine. In some embodiments, the first communication unit 610 and the second communication unit 621 are both Bluetooth units. In some embodiments, the first communication unit 610 and the second communication unit 621 are both ZigBee units. In other embodiments, the first communication unit 610 and the second communication unit 621 are both WIFI units. The working principle of the wireless communication connection is a prior art and will not be repeated here. Among them, the terminal device 620 can be a mobile phone, a tablet or a computer.

[0064] The lawn trimmer also includes a detection module 630 and a control module 640. The detection module 630 is used to detect the operating parameters or electrical parameters of the motor 400. The control module 640 is used to determine whether the motor 400 is in a stalled operating state according to the operating parameters or electrical parameters, and control the motor 400 to stop rotating when in the stalled operating state. The detection module 630 and the control module 640 cooperate to realize the brake protection function. After the blade 120 is stalled, the motor 400 can be stopped immediately in time, and the motor 400 will not continue to rotate with the flexible shaft, thereby preventing the flexible shaft from twisting off.

[0065] The operating parameter may be a rotation speed, including but not limited to the rotation speed of the motor 400 and the rotation speed of the output shaft 110. When the rotation speed of the motor 400 is greater than or equal to a first set value, and the rotation speed of the output shaft 110 is less than or equal to a second set value, the control module 640 determines that the motor 400 is in a stalled operation state. The electrical parameter may be the current of the motor 400. The detection module 630 detects the current current value of the motor 400, and the control module 640 determines whether the current current value is greater than a preset current threshold value. If so, it is determined that the motor 400 is in a stalled operation state.

[0066] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the lawn trimmer also includes a display component 810, which at least displays the speed information of the lawn trimmer, so that the user can intuitively obtain the current speed information, and even if the speed information changes due to accidental contact, it can be processed in time, which is convenient to operate and improves work efficiency.

[0067] The speed information may be the speed information of the output shaft 110, so that the user can obtain the speed of the blade 120 in a timely manner. The speed information may also be the speed information of the motor 400, so that the user can obtain the state of the motor 400 in a timely manner. It is understood that the lawn trimmer also includes a speed sensor for detecting the speed of the motor 400 or the output shaft 110.

[0068] In some embodiments, the display component 810 includes a display screen. Information is displayed on the display screen for intuitive observation. The display screen can be a touch screen for adjusting the speed. In other embodiments, the display component 810 includes a display light. Information is displayed by the display light, and the failure rate is low. Different colors of lights can represent different speed gears, for example, red represents the first gear, orange represents the second gear, and green represents the third gear. It is also possible to set multiple speed display lights 811, and several of the multiple speed display lights 811 are lit to indicate the speed of the lawn trimmer. For example, in this embodiment, the lawn trimmer has three speed gears, namely low speed gear, medium speed gear and high speed gear. Correspondingly, the display component 810 includes three speed display lights 811, and if one speed display light 811 is on, it means that the lawn trimmer is in low speed gear, if two speed display lights 811 are on, it means that the lawn trimmer is in medium speed gear, and if three speed display lights 811 are on, it means that the lawn trimmer is in high speed gear. For example, when in low gear, the rotation speed of blade 120 is greater than or equal to 3800 rpm and less than or equal to 4200 rpm, when in medium gear, the rotation speed of blade 120 is greater than or equal to 5300 rpm and less than or equal to 5700 rpm, and when in high gear, the rotation speed of blade 120 is greater than or equal to 6800 rpm and less than or equal to 7200 rpm.

[0069] In some embodiments, the speed information includes a speed gear or a speed value. The speed gear can be divided into a low speed gear, a medium speed gear and a high speed gear.

[0070] In some embodiments, the display component 810 can display the remaining power of the battery pack 600 to facilitate timely charging. For example, the display component 810 includes a power display light 812, and different colors of the power display light 812 represent different power levels, such as red represents little power, orange represents less power, and green represents sufficient power.

[0071] In some embodiments, the display component 810 can display the current efficiency or current or torque.

[0072] The display assembly 810 includes a display interface, and the display interface can display speed information. For example, in the present embodiment, the three speed display lights 811 can be considered as the display interface. Of course, the display interface can also be considered to include a power display light 812 and a Bluetooth display light 813 described below. A speed regulating member 820 is provided on one side of the display interface, and the display interface and the speed regulating member 820 are provided at a position close to each other, so as to facilitate observation while adjusting the speed. Specifically, the distance between the speed regulating member 820 and the display interface is less than or equal to 10 cm. The speed regulating member 820 can be a speed regulating button, and the speed can be adjusted by pressing. The speed can be changed once per pressing, or the speed can be switched by pressing different durations. For example, in the present embodiment, the speed regulating member 820 can be operated so that the lawn trimmer switches cyclically between a low gear, a medium gear, and a high gear.

[0073] The display assembly 810 is disposed on the housing of the main handle 710. The housing of the main handle 710 is sleeved on the connecting tube 310, the display assembly 810 is disposed on the upper side of the housing of the main handle 710, and the speed regulating member 820 and the display assembly 810 are disposed on the same side of the main handle 710, so as to facilitate observation while adjusting the speed. Specifically, the speed regulating member 820 is located at the rear end of the display interface, and the display interface will not be blocked when the speed regulating member 820 is operated.

[0074] See also Figure 3 The housing of the main handle 710 is also provided with a trigger 830, and the trigger 830 and the display assembly 810 are provided on opposite sides of the main handle 710. The trigger 830 is provided on the lower side of the housing of the main handle 710 and is located at the rear end of the main handle 710. Generally, the thumb of the right hand can operate the speed regulating member 820 when the main handle 710 is held by the right hand, and the other four fingers of the right hand can operate the trigger 830. The speed regulating member 820 and the trigger 830 can be operated by one hand.

[0075] The display component 810 also includes a display unit for displaying the connection status of the first communication unit 610. For example, the display unit includes a Bluetooth display light 813. When the Bluetooth display light 813 flashes, the first communication unit 610 is in a waiting state, and when the Bluetooth display light 813 is always on, the first communication unit 610 is in a connected state.
