[0035] The present application provides a material collection device, an intelligent lawn mower and a self-moving device, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0036] The embodiment of the present application provides a material collecting device 20. The material collecting device 20 can be applied to multiple scenarios such as material collection, material crushing, fallen leaf collection, weed collection and crushing, and outdoor sweeper, and the examples in this embodiment do not constitute an improper limitation thereto.

[0037] Here, see Fig.11 The material collecting device 20 includes a collecting box 400 , on which a moving wheel 420 and a roller brush assembly 500 are disposed.

[0038] Here, the collection box 400 has a first receiving space 410 (please refer to Figure 1 ), see Fig.12 , a first opening 411 is provided on the collection box 400, and the first opening 411 is connected to the first receiving space 410. Usually, the first opening 411 is located near the bottom of the collection box 400, so that the objects to be collected on the working ground can enter the first receiving space 410 through the first opening 411. Exemplarily, here, a first direction X and a second direction Y perpendicular to each other are defined, the first direction X is parallel to the working ground, and the second direction Y points to a direction away from the working ground. Here, the first opening 411 is provided at a position near the bottom of the front side of the collection box 400 in the first direction X. Usually, when the material collecting device 20 moves, the first direction X is the forward direction of the material collecting device 20, and of course, this embodiment does not constitute an undue limitation thereto.

[0039] Here, the collection box 400 also has a second opening 412 (see Figure 1 ), the second opening 412 is connected to the first receiving space 410. Exemplarily, the second opening 412 can be set on the side of the collection box 400. Here, the second opening 412 is used to allow the collected objects in the first receiving space 410 to leave the first receiving space 410. For example, the second opening 412 can be directly or indirectly connected to a storage component 800 such as a storage bag (see Figure 1 ), that is, the first opening 411 is used as the entrance of the first receiving space 410, and the second opening 412 is used as the outlet of the first receiving space 410. In addition, the first receiving space 410 can also be connected to a suction source such as a fan to suck the objects to be collected into the first receiving space and / or suck the objects to be collected in the first receiving space out to the storage assembly 800, etc. Of course, the examples in this embodiment do not constitute an improper limitation to the present application.

[0040] Please continue reading Fig.12, a moving wheel 420 is provided on the side of the collection box 400 close to the working ground, usually at the bottom of the collection box 400, so that the collection box 400 can be moved on the working ground by the moving wheel 420. Here, the number of the moving wheels 420 can be 1, 2, 3, etc. For example, in the example of this embodiment, with a straight line parallel to the first direction X as the central axis, two moving wheels 420 are symmetrically provided at the bottom of the collection box 400 about the central axis. Of course, the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation to it.

[0041] Here, see Fig.12 The roller brush assembly 500 includes a housing 510 and a roller brush 520 rotatably connected to the housing 510. The housing 510 can be connected to the collection box 400 in a rotatable manner, for example, the housing 510 is hinged to the collection box 400 through a hinge, a rotating shaft, or a connecting rod, so that the housing 510 can rotate relative to the collection box 400. Of course, the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation to it. In other embodiments, the housing 510 can also be connected to the collection box 400 in other ways.

[0042] The roller brush 520 of the roller brush assembly 500 is rotatably connected to the housing 510, for example, connected to the housing 510 via a rotating shaft. It is understandable that the roller brush assembly 500 also includes a driving source such as a motor (not shown), and the roller brush 520 is connected to the driving source such as the motor, so that the roller brush 520 can rotate around its axis through the drive of the driving source such as the motor. Fig.12 The roller brush 520 is located near the first opening 411. For example, a portion of the roller brush 520 may extend from the first opening 411 into the first receiving space 410. Of course, the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation. When the roller brush 520 rotates, it can lift the objects to be collected and allow the objects to be collected to enter the first receiving space 410 through the first opening 411.

[0043] Also, see Fig.12 The roller brush assembly 500 may further include a scraper bar 540, which is disposed near the bottom of the housing 510. Generally, the scraper bar 540 may be located at the front side of the housing 510 in the first direction X, that is, the side of the housing 510 away from the collection box 400. By providing the scraper bar 540, the objects to be collected on the working floor may be scraped and collected better, so that the roller brush 520 may lift the objects to be collected and store them in the first storage space of the collection box 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the scraper bar 540 may not be provided, and the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto.

[0044] Of course, it is understandable that the examples in the embodiments of the present application do not constitute an undue limitation to the present application. In other embodiments, the collection box 400, the roller brush assembly 500 and the connection relationship therebetween are not limited to the above. In other embodiments, as long as the collection box 400 has a first receiving space 410, the roller brush assembly 500 can be used to deliver the objects to be collected on the working floor from the first opening 411 into the first receiving space 410.

[0045] Here, the material collection device 20 can be used to collect leaves, grass leaves and other objects to be collected. After being lifted by the roller brush assembly 500, the objects to be collected can enter the first receiving space 410 through the first opening 411. At this time, the objects to be collected become the contents of the first receiving space 410. For example, in places such as sports fields, farms, parks and garden green spaces, smart lawn mowers need to be used regularly for trimming and tidying. The smart lawn mower has a cutting component, which is used to cut grass leaves of a certain height. Here, please refer to Figure 2 The material collecting device 20 is assembled on the body of the smart lawn mower to collect the grass leaves formed after cutting by the smart lawn mower. The body of the smart lawn mower is used as a driving head 10 to drive the material collecting device 20 to move.

[0046] For example, see Fig.12 The material collecting device 20 may further include a connector 100, which is disposed on the collecting box 400, and the connector 100 and the housing 510 may be located on the same side of the collecting box 400. Exemplarily, the connector 100 and the housing 510 are both disposed on the front side of the collecting box 400 in the first direction X. Here, one end of the connector 100 is connected to the collecting box 400, and the other end may be used to connect to the driving head 10 of the body of the intelligent lawn mower, thereby realizing the connection between the body of the intelligent lawn mower and the material collecting device 20.

[0047] Of course, it can be understood that in this embodiment, the material collecting device 20 is driven to move by using the body of the intelligent lawn mower as the driving head 10. The body of the intelligent lawn mower includes a main body, a walking device 11 and a cutting assembly. The walking device 11 is arranged on the main body to drive the main body to move, so that the main body of the intelligent lawn mower can be moved from one position to another. The cutting assembly is arranged on the main body to cut grass leaves, etc., which can be a cutting knife, etc. Among them, the walking device 11 can be a crawler structure, a wheel structure or a bionic structure, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it. Exemplarily, when the walking device 11 is a wheel structure, the walking device includes wheels and a motor for driving the wheels to rotate, and the motor drives the wheels to rotate to drive the main body to move.

[0048] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the specific application scenarios may be different, and the body of the smart lawn mower may be replaced by other movable drive heads 10, etc. to drive the material collecting device 20 to move. The examples in this embodiment do not constitute an undue limitation to the present application.

[0049] Here, in order to allow the contents in the first receiving space 410 to more effectively leave the first receiving space 410 through the second opening 412, in some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 2 , a discharge assembly 600 is disposed in the first receiving space 410. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The discharge assembly includes a driving member 610 and a discharge member 620. The discharge member 620 is located near the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410. The driving member 610 is transmission-connected to the discharge member 620 and can drive the discharge member 620 to move, so as to drive the contents in the first receiving space 410 to move toward the second opening 412, so that the contents can leave the first receiving space 410 through the second opening 412.

[0050] Here, the discharge member 620 protrudes from the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410 and can move relative to the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410, thereby preferably directing the contents to the second opening 412. For example, see Figure 4 The discharge member 620 has a discharge portion 621, and the discharge portion 621 extends in a direction parallel to the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410. Generally, the discharge portion 621 here can be in a long strip shape. Of course, the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto.

[0051] Here, in some embodiments, the discharge member 620 further includes a rotating body 622, and the discharge portion 621 is arranged on one side of the rotating body 622. The driving member 610 is connected to the rotating body 622 to drive the rotating body 622 to rotate about a rotation axis, and the discharge portion 621 extends along the radial direction of the rotation axis, and generally, the discharge portion 621 extends along a direction parallel to the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410. Therefore, when the driving member 610 drives the rotating body 622 to move, the rotating body 622 drives the discharge portion 621 to rotate on the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410, so that the contents in the first receiving space 410 are stirred and move toward the second opening 412. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving member 610 can also drive the discharge member 620 to translate or rotate along a straight line or other trajectory, so that the discharge member 620 can move relative to the bottom surface of the first receiving space 410, and the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto.

[0052] Here, please combine Figure 5The discharge assembly 600 also includes a transmission assembly 630, which is connected to the drive member 610 and the discharge member 620 (please refer to Figure 4 ) is used to transmit the power of the driving member 610 to the discharge member 620. Exemplarily, the transmission assembly 630 is a belt transmission structure, which includes an input pulley 631, an output pulley 632, a transmission belt 633 and an output shaft 634. Among them, the input pulley 631 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving member 610, the output pulley 632 and the output shaft 634 are arranged one by one, and the number and position of the two correspond to the number and position of the discharge member 620, and the output shaft 634 is connected to the corresponding output pulley 632, and the output shaft 634 is connected to the corresponding discharge member 620. In addition, each output pulley 632 is connected to each other through a transmission belt 633. Therefore, when the rotating shaft of the driving member 610 rotates, it can drive the input pulley 631 to rotate, and the input pulley 631 drives each output pulley 632 and the output shaft 634 to rotate through the transmission belt 633, and the output shaft 634 drives the discharge member 620 connected thereto to rotate, so that the discharge member 620 can stir the contents in the first receiving space 410 by rotating, and move the contents toward the second opening.

[0053] Here, when the driving member 610 rotates forward, the discharge member 620 can be driven to rotate in one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, and when the driving member 610 rotates reversely, the discharge member 620 will be driven and rotate in the other of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Thus, with the different driving directions of the driving member 610, the discharge member 620 can rotate in different directions, so that the discharge member 620 is not easy to get stuck in the first receiving space 410, which can effectively alleviate the problem of the discharge member 620 being blocked and stuck by foreign objects.

[0054] It can be understood that, in the above embodiments, an example is given in which a driving member 610 is provided to drive a plurality of discharge members 620, but in other embodiments, a driving member 610 may be provided for each discharge member 620; in other embodiments, only one discharge member 620 may be provided; in other embodiments, the structure of the transmission component 630 is not limited to the above, and the transmission component 630 may be a gear transmission structure, a connecting rod transmission structure, etc.; the movement of the discharge member 620 is not limited to rotation, and in other embodiments, it may be translation or other movement modes; the example in this embodiment does not constitute an undue limitation to the present application.

[0055] In some embodiments, based on the provision of a transmission assembly 630, see Figure 6, the discharge assembly 600 may also be provided with a transmission shell 640, which is arranged on the collection box, and has a transmission chamber 641 in the transmission shell 640, and at least a part of the transmission assembly 630 is located in the transmission chamber 641. Therefore, the transmission chamber 641 can protect the transmission assembly 630 therein, and reduce the influence of dust, foreign matter, etc. on the transmission assembly 630, so as to ensure that the transmission assembly 630 can be in a better working state. Exemplarily, the aforementioned input pulley 631, output pulley 632, and transmission belt 633 can all be arranged in the transmission chamber 641. Among them, it can be understood that the transmission shell 640 can include a plurality of parts spliced ​​together or can be formed as a whole, for example, the transmission shell 640 can include an upper shell and a lower shell, and the upper shell and the lower shell can be spliced ​​together to form the transmission chamber 641. Of course, the examples in this embodiment do not constitute an improper limitation to the present application.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The discharge assembly 600 is disposed in the collection box and is located near the bottom of the collection box 400. Figure 8 The transmission housing 640 has a first surface 642 on a side close to the discharge member 620. The transmission housing 640 is provided with a protrusion 643. The protrusion 643 is provided corresponding to the position and number of the discharge member 620, that is, each discharge member 620 is provided with a protrusion 643. Of course, this limitation may not be made in other embodiments. The protrusion 643 protrudes from the first surface 642 in the direction close to the discharge member 620, that is, it protrudes from the first surface 642 along the second direction Y. The output shaft 634 of the transmission assembly 630 is provided through the protrusion 643 to connect with the discharge member 620. Of course, in other embodiments, at least one of the transmission assembly 630 and the discharge member 620 may be provided through the protrusion 643 to connect with the other. Therefore, the end of the protrusion 643 close to the discharge piece 620 is higher than the first surface 642 , and dust and debris are not easy to enter the transmission cavity 641 through the connection position between the transmission assembly 630 and the discharge piece 620 .

[0057] Here, in some embodiments, a seal 644 such as a sealing ring may be provided between the output shaft 634 and the protrusion 643 in the radial direction. The provision of the seal 644 may further reduce the probability of foreign matter such as dust entering the transmission cavity 641 , thereby helping to ensure the effective operation of the transmission assembly 630 .

[0058] In addition, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 8, there is a spacing b between the discharge member 620 and the first surface 642. By setting the spacing b, the discharge member 620 is not easily blocked by other debris such as small branches at the bottom of the collection box when moving, and can pass over the small branches and other debris at the bottom and move. Especially in the process of discharging, foreign objects such as grass clippings, leaves, branches, etc. are not easy to block or block the discharge member 620, which helps to improve the efficiency of discharging. Here, when the spacing b and the aforementioned protrusion 643 are set at the same time, when observing along the protruding direction of the protrusion 643, that is, observing along the second direction Y, at the position where the projection of the discharge member 620 and the protrusion 643 overlap, the spacing b is greater than the distance a of the protrusion 643 protruding from the first surface 642, thereby avoiding interference between the discharge member 620 and the protrusion 643. Exemplarily, the discharge piece 620 extends along a protruding direction perpendicular to the protrusion 643, for example, extends along a horizontal direction, and the spacing b between the discharge piece 620 and the first surface 642 is a certain value, which is greater than the distance a, or in other embodiments, the spacing b between the discharge piece 620 and the first surface 642 may also be variable, and the example in this embodiment does not constitute an undue limitation thereto.

[0059] In some embodiments, the number of the discharge pieces 620 is set to be greater than or equal to two. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the discharge piece 620 may be only one, and the example in this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto. For example, see Fig. 9 , one discharge piece 620 is provided here, and a single discharge piece 620 is preferably used in a first receiving space 410 of a rectangular or other regular shape. If used in an irregularly shaped first receiving space 410, the coverage of a single discharge piece 620 is poor, and part of the edge area of ​​the first receiving space 410 will not be well covered by the single discharge piece 620. In this case, multiple discharge pieces 620 may be provided. Under the condition of the same torque and load, providing multiple smaller discharge pieces 620 can better adapt to the internal shape of the first receiving space 410, so as to cover more areas in the first receiving space 410 and reduce cleaning dead corners. At the same time, it can also reduce the resistance of the discharge piece 620 during operation, reduce the operating load of the discharge process, and improve the discharge efficiency, so as to better balance the efficiency and power of the discharge. For example, please refer to Fig.10 In the embodiment shown in the figure, there are two discharge members 620. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the discharge members 620 can also be set to other numbers, and this embodiment does not constitute an improper limitation thereto.

[0060] Here, when there are two or more discharge pieces 620 , in order to achieve better discharge, the movement of the discharge piece 620 closer to the second opening of two adjacent discharge pieces 620 lags behind the other discharge piece 620 .

[0061] Exemplarily, the discharge member 620 has a discharge portion, and the extension lines of two adjacent discharge members 620 are arranged at an angle, which can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle, and the present embodiment does not limit it. For example, the angle between the extension lines of two adjacent discharge members 620 is 45° or 90°, etc. Here, when in use, the two discharge members 620 are driven by a driving member 610 to rotate. Since the two discharge members 620 have an angle difference in a stationary state, the angle difference is also maintained during rotation. That is to say, among the two adjacent discharge members 620, the discharge member 620 closer to the second opening will lag behind the other discharge member 620 by a preset rotation angle, and the preset rotation angle is the aforementioned angle between the extension lines of the two adjacent discharge members 620. Thus, when the previous discharge member 620 rotates and drives the contents to move toward the second opening to the position of the discharge member 620 close to the second opening, the discharge member 620 close to the second opening 412 can continue to push the contents so that the contents can leave the first receiving space 410 through the second opening 412 as quickly as possible. Alternatively, in other embodiments, different discharge members 620 can also be driven by different driving members 610 to achieve delayed movement, and the examples in this embodiment do not constitute an improper limitation to the present application.

[0062] In addition, in some embodiments, the aforementioned material collection device 20 can be used as a part of the self-moving device 1 in cooperation with the base station 2. The self-moving device 1 can be a smart lawn mower, etc., but this embodiment does not constitute an undue restriction on it. Figure 1 , here, the base station 2 has a second receiving space 810. Exemplarily, the base station 2 includes a storage component 800, and the storage component 800 has a second receiving space 810. When the mobile device is matched to the base station, the second opening 412 is docked with the entrance of the storage component 800 and connected to the second receiving space 810, thereby the content of the first receiving space 410 can be transferred to the second receiving space 810 through the second opening 412. Among them, usually, the capacity of the second receiving space 810 is greater than the capacity of the first receiving space 410, thereby reducing the frequency of transferring the content from the first receiving space 410 to the second receiving space 810, and realizing less frequent intervention by the user.

[0063] In some embodiments, for example, please continue to refer to Figure 1The base station is also provided with a crushing assembly 700, which has a connecting channel and a crushing mechanism located in the connecting channel. The crushing mechanism may include a driving component such as a motor and a blade connected to the driving component. The present embodiment does not impose any undue restrictions on the specific structure of the crushing mechanism, as long as the crushing mechanism can be used to cut and crush the contents moved from the first receiving space 410 to the second receiving space 810 for subsequent storage and storage. For example, the crushing assembly 700 may be a fan mechanism, which may form a suction airflow while crushing, so as to suck the contents from the first receiving space 410 to the second receiving space 810.

[0064] Here, when the mobile device 1 is matched with the base station 2, the second opening 412 of the mobile device 1 is connected to the entrance of the connection channel. For example, the connection channel has a third opening 811 as the entrance, and the exit of the connection channel is connected to the aforementioned storage component 800. Here, the storage component 800 can be a storage bag or other structure. The storage component 800 is detachably connected to the exit of the connection channel to facilitate the replacement of the storage component 800. Figure 1 In the state shown in the figure where the mobile device 1 is matched with the base station 2 , the third opening 811 is docked with the second opening 412 , so that the second receiving space 810 is connected to the first receiving space 410 .

[0065] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the self-moving system is provided with a two-part structure of a self-moving device 1 and a base station 2. The base station 2 can conveniently clean the contents in the collection box 400 of the self-moving device 1, reduce the manual cleaning actions of the user, and improve the cleaning efficiency and comfort of use. At the same time, the collection of the collected objects is completed by the self-moving device 1, and the crushing of the collected objects is subsequently completed by the base station 2. Therefore, the self-moving device 1 does not need to crush the collected objects, so the power consumption of the self-moving device can be saved, thereby achieving high efficiency and low energy consumption. At the same time, the base station 2 can use a higher power fan as a crushing component 700, which can be efficiently and quickly crushed to achieve high-efficiency cleaning. In addition, since the crushing component 700 is not arranged on the self-moving device 1, the noise during the operation of the self-moving device 1 is also reduced accordingly.

[0066] And, understandably, Figure 1 The schematic diagram shows the state of the self-moving device 1 and the base station 2 cooperating. Here, the base station 2 may be provided with a limited alignment structure, such as a stopper, a guide block, etc., so as to guide and limit the self-moving device 1 to the matching position, so as to achieve the docking between the first receiving space 410 and the second receiving space 810. Of course, the examples in this embodiment do not constitute an improper limitation thereto.
