[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the lawn mowing equipment cleaning base station involved in this application embodiment includes: a housing 100, an air blowing assembly 200, a fan device (not shown), and a baffle assembly 300.
[0025] Specifically, the housing 100 has an internal receiving cavity 110; the air blowing assembly 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 110; the blower device is disposed in the receiving cavity 110 and is pneumatically connected to the air blowing assembly 200; the baffle assembly 300 includes a baffle 310 and a pressure plate 320; wherein, the housing 100 has a waste collection port 120, the baffle 310 and the pressure plate 320 are disposed in the waste collection port 120, and the baffle 310 and the pressure plate 320 overlap, and the pressure plate 320 is configured to drive the baffle 310 to close the waste collection port 120 under the action of external force.
[0026] In the cleaning base station for lawn mowers (hereinafter referred to as the cleaning base station) of this application, air is introduced into the air blowing assembly 200 through a blower device to clean the bottom of the lawn mower. Simultaneously, grass clippings, dirt, and other debris accumulated at the bottom of the lawn mower can enter the cleaning base station through the waste collection port 120 for waste collection. After cleaning and waste collection, the lawn mower needs to exit the cleaning base station. Upon exiting, the lawn mower first contacts the pressure plate 320, applying pressure to it. This pressure plate, under external force, drives the baffle 310 to close the waste collection port 120, allowing the lawn mower to leave the cleaning base smoothly and reducing the obstruction of the baffle assembly 300 from exiting the cleaning base station. In summary, the cleaning base station of this application improves the convenience of cleaning the lawn mower chassis and waste collection.
[0027] Reference Figure 3As shown, the lawn mowing equipment cleaning base station has an ingress direction x. Both the baffle 310 and the pressure plate 320 are rotatably connected to the housing 100. The baffle 310 is located on the side behind the garbage collection port 120 along the ingress direction x, and the pressure plate 320 is located on the side in front of the garbage collection port 120 along the ingress direction x. In its natural state, the baffle 310 is set at an angle to the plane where the garbage collection port 120 is located. The end of the pressure plate 320 away from the garbage collection port 120 overlaps with the end of the baffle 310 away from the garbage collection port 120, and the end of the pressure plate 320 away from the garbage collection port 120 protrudes from the side of the baffle 310 away from the garbage collection port 120.
[0028] It should be noted that the x-direction of entry is... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The direction indicated by x in the middle.
[0029] In this embodiment, the mowing equipment enters the cleaning station along the entry direction x to collect grass clippings, dirt, and other debris from the mowing equipment's blades and body through the waste collection port 120. When the mowing equipment enters the cleaning station, the baffle 310 is angled to the plane of the waste collection port 120 in its natural state, and the baffle 310 is positioned on the side behind the waste collection port 120 along the entry direction x. This allows the mowing equipment to first contact the baffle 310 and press it down towards the waste collection port 120. As the baffle 310 is pressed down, the pressure plate 320, which overlaps the baffle 310, rotates towards the waste collection port 120, gradually making the pressure plate 320 parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120. This allows the mowing equipment to smoothly enter the cleaning station, reducing the obstruction caused by the baffle assembly 300. After the mowing equipment detaches from the baffle assembly 300, the baffle 310 returns to an angled position relative to the plane of the waste collection port 120. This causes the pressure plate 320 to rotate away from the waste collection port 120, preventing the baffle assembly 300 from obstructing it. When the cleaning equipment exits the cleaning station, the pressure plate 320 is positioned on the side in front of the waste collection port 120 along the entry direction x, and the end of the pressure plate 320 away from the waste collection port 120 protrudes from the side of the baffle 310 away from the waste collection port 120. Therefore, the pressure plate 320 rotates towards the waste collection port 120 under the external force of the mowing equipment. This causes the baffle 310 to rotate towards the waste collection port 120 under the pressure of the pressure plate 320, gradually making the pressure plate 320 and the baffle 310 parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120. This allows the mowing equipment to leave the cleaning station smoothly, reducing the obstruction of the baffle assembly 300 from the mowing equipment's exit from the cleaning station.
[0030] Reference Figure 4As shown, the baffle assembly 300 also includes an elastic element 330, which is connected to the baffle 310 and the housing 100 so that the baffle 310 is set at an angle to the plane where the waste collection port 120 is located in its natural state.
[0031] In this embodiment, since the elastic element 330 is connected to the baffle 310 and the housing 100, the baffle 310 can be angled to the plane of the waste collection port 120 in its natural state. Simultaneously, when the mowing equipment enters the cleaning base station, it disengages from the pressure plate 320, i.e., from the baffle 310. Under the action of the elastic element 330, the baffle 310 returns to an angled position with the plane of the waste collection port 120, exposing the waste collection port 120. At this time, the air blowing assembly 200 is located at the bottom of the mowing equipment. Gas is introduced into the air blowing assembly 200 through a fan to clean the bottom of the mowing equipment. Simultaneously, the air blowing assembly 200 blows cleaned waste, grass clippings, dirt, and other debris towards the waste collection port 120, where the waste is collected, thus completing the cleaning of the mowing equipment chassis.
[0032] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 310 includes a baffle body 311 and a first connecting shaft 312. The baffle body 311 is located on one side behind the garbage collection port 120 along the entry direction x. The first connecting shaft 312 is connected to one end of the baffle body 311 near the garbage collection port 120. The baffle body 311 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 through the first connecting shaft 312.
[0033] In this embodiment, the baffle body 311 and the housing 100 can be connected via the first connecting shaft 312, and the baffle body 311 and the housing 100 can be rotated, allowing the baffle body 311 to rotate relative to the housing 100. When the baffle body 311 rotates to a position parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120, the baffle body 311 can close the waste collection port 120, allowing the lawnmower to pass smoothly through the waste collection port 120. When the baffle body 311 rotates to an angle with the plane of the waste collection port 120, the baffle body 311 can avoid obstructing the waste collection port 120, facilitating waste collection by the lawnmower.
[0034] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the elastic element 330 is a torsion spring, one end of which is connected to the baffle body 311, and the other end of which is connected to the housing 100.
[0035] In this embodiment, a torsion spring is provided between the baffle 310 and the housing 100 to achieve the automatic reset function of the baffle 310. Specifically, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the baffle body 311, and the other end is abutted or fixedly connected to the housing 100. When the lawnmower disengages from the baffle 310, the baffle 310, which was originally pressed down by the lawnmower, loses its external constraint. At this time, the baffle 310 can automatically swing back to its initial position under the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring, that is, at a certain angle with the plane where the waste collection port 120 is located, so that the waste collection port 120 is completely exposed, so as to effectively collect grass clippings, soil and other debris attached to the chassis of the lawnmower through the waste collection port 120, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the chassis of the lawnmower and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 320 includes a pressure plate body 321 and a second connecting shaft 322. The pressure plate body 321 is located on one side in front of the garbage collection port 120 along the inlet direction x. The second connecting shaft 322 is connected to the end of the pressure plate body 321 near the garbage collection port 120. The pressure plate body 321 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 through the second connecting shaft 322.
[0037] In this embodiment, the pressure plate body 321 and the housing 100 can be connected via the second connecting shaft 322, and a rotatable connection between the pressure plate body 321 and the housing 100 can also be achieved. Thus, when the baffle body 311 rotates to an angle with the plane of the waste collection port 120, the pressure plate body 321, pushed by the baffle body 311, rotates to an angle with the plane of the waste collection port 120, exposing the waste collection port 120 for easy waste collection by the mowing equipment. When the baffle body 311 rotates to a plane parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120, the baffle body 311 no longer applies a pushing force to the pressure plate body 321, and the pressure plate body 321 rotates to a plane parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120 under its own weight, allowing the mowing equipment to pass through the waste collection port 120. Furthermore, the pressure plate body 321 can also drive the baffle 310 to close the waste collection port 120 under the external force of the mowing equipment, allowing the mowing equipment to smoothly leave the cleaning base station.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the baffle assembly 300 includes a plurality of pressure plates 320, which are spaced apart along the length of the baffle 310.
[0039] In this embodiment, since multiple pressure plates 320 are spaced apart along the length of the baffle 310, the uniformity of force on the baffle 310 along its length can be improved, thereby improving the smoothness of the baffle 310's rotation relative to the housing 100 and thus improving the smoothness of the lawn mowing equipment entering and exiting the cleaning base station.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the baffle 310 and the plane where the waste collection port 120 is located in its natural state is α, which satisfies: 15°≤α≤60°.
[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, α can be 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, etc. In this embodiment, when α < 15°, the angle between the baffle 310 and the plane where the waste collection port 120 is located in its natural state is too small, which will reduce the entrance area of the waste collection port 120 and affect the waste collection efficiency. When α > 60°, the angle between the baffle 310 and the plane where the waste collection port 120 is located in its natural state is too large, which will increase the resistance of the lawn mowing equipment entering and exiting the cleaning base station. When 15° ≤ α ≤ 60°, both the impact on waste collection and the impact on the lawn mowing equipment entering and exiting the cleaning base station can be reduced.
[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the length of the pressure plate 320 is L1 and the length of the baffle 310 is L2, satisfying: 1 < L1 / L2 ≤ 1.3.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, L1 / L2 can be 1.13, 1.16, 1.19, 1.22, 1.25, 1.28, 1.3, etc.
[0044] In this embodiment, if L1 / L2≤1, the pressure plate 320 cannot overlap the baffle 310. Therefore, when the mowing equipment exits the cleaning base station, the pressure plate 320 cannot force the baffle 310 to close the waste collection port 120, preventing the mowing equipment from exiting smoothly. If L1 / L2>1.3, the pressure plate 320 will be too long. When the mowing equipment enters the cleaning base station, it will not first contact the baffle 310 but directly contact the pressure plate 320, preventing the mowing equipment from smoothly entering the cleaning base station. When 1<L1 / L2≤1.3, the impact on the mowing equipment's entry and exit from the cleaning base station can be reduced.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the housing 100 is also provided with a cleaning tank 121 and a base station inlet 130. The base station inlet 130 and the waste collection port 120 are both connected to the cleaning tank 121, and the cleaning tank 121 is connected to the receiving cavity 110. The air blowing assembly 200 is at least partially located in the cleaning tank 121. The waste collection port 120 is located in front of the base station inlet 130 along the entry direction x. The baffle assembly 300 is located in the cleaning tank 121.
[0046] In this embodiment, the lawnmower enters the cleaning trough 121 via the base station entrance 130 along the entry direction x. The chassis is cleaned within the cleaning trough 121 by the air blowing assembly 200. Since the waste collection port 120 is connected to the cleaning trough 121, grass clippings and dirt from the lawnmower chassis can be collected simultaneously through the waste collection port 120 during chassis cleaning, achieving automatic cleaning of the lawnmower chassis. Furthermore, since the baffle assembly 300 is located within the cleaning trough 121, when the lawnmower passes through the waste collection port 120 along the entry direction x, the baffle assembly 300 improves the smoothness of the lawnmower's passage through the waste collection port 120, preventing the lawnmower from getting stuck at the waste collection port 120 during entry and exit from the cleaning base station, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the lawnmower chassis and waste collection.
[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning tank 121 has two side tank walls 1211 arranged opposite to each other, and a baffle 310 is disposed between the two side tank walls 1211. The side tank walls 1211 protrude from the baffle 310 and the pressure plate 320 in a direction away from the garbage collection port 120.
[0048] In this embodiment, the two side walls 1211 can block grass clippings, dirt, and other debris from the bottom of the lawnmower, reducing the possibility of these debris splashing out of the cleaning station during the cleaning process. Simultaneously, since the side walls 1211 protrude from the baffle 310 in a direction away from the waste collection port 120, they can guide the rotation of the baffle 310, ensuring that the baffle 310 rotates in the entry direction x.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the air blowing assembly includes a blade cleaning air blowing component 210, a chassis cleaning air blowing component 220, and a waste collection air blowing component 230. The blade cleaning air blowing component 210 is used to clean the blade of the lawnmower, the chassis cleaning air blowing component 220 is used to clean the chassis of the lawnmower, and the waste collection air blowing component 230 is used to blow the cleaning waste, grass clippings, soil, and other impurities generated during the cleaning process toward the waste collection port. The blade cleaning air blowing component 210, the chassis cleaning air blowing component 220, and the waste collection air blowing component 230 are arranged sequentially along the entry direction x, and the waste collection air blowing component 230 is located at the end of the cleaning trough 121 furthest from the waste collection port 120, so that most of the cleaning waste, grass clippings, soil, and other impurities in the cleaning trough 121 can be blown toward the waste collection port 120 by the waste collection air blowing component 230, thereby improving the waste collection effect of the cleaning station.
[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the blade cleaning air blower 210 has a first air outlet 211, the chassis cleaning air blower 220 has a second air outlet 221, and the waste collection air blower 230 has a third air outlet 231. The first air outlet 211 and the second air outlet 221 are both oriented towards the chassis of the mowing equipment, while the third air outlet 231 is oriented towards the waste collection port. A blower device supplies high-pressure gas to the blade cleaning air blower 210, which is then blown through the first air outlet 211 onto the blade of the mowing equipment, thus cleaning the blade. Similarly, a blower device supplies high-pressure gas to the chassis cleaning air blower 220, which is then blown through the second air outlet 221 onto the blade of the mowing equipment, thus cleaning the chassis. High-pressure gas is delivered to the waste collection aeration unit 230 by a blower device, so that the high-pressure gas is blown to the waste recycling port through the third aeration port 231, so that clean waste, grass clippings, soil and other impurities are blown to the waste recycling port by the high-pressure gas, thereby realizing the recycling of clean waste.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, when cleaning the chassis of the lawnmower using the air blowing assembly 200, the edge of the lawnmower near the side wall 1211 of the cleaning trough 121 may not be completely cleaned. The lawnmower cleaning base station also includes multiple cleaning components 400, which are spaced apart and each cleaning component 400 is positioned close to the side wall 1211 of the cleaning trough 121. In this way, the cleaning components 400 can clean the edge of the lawnmower chassis, enhancing the cleaning effect and improving the overall cleaning efficiency of the lawnmower chassis.
[0052] The cleaning base station of this application cleans the chassis of the lawnmower as follows: When cleaning of the lawnmower chassis is required, the lawnmower is driven into the cleaning trough 121 from the base station entrance 130 along the entry direction x. As the lawnmower enters the cleaning trough 121, it first contacts the baffle 310 and presses the baffle 310 down toward the waste collection port 120. After the baffle 310 is pressed down, the pressure plate 320, which overlaps the baffle 310, rotates toward the waste collection port 120 as the baffle 310 is pressed down, gradually making the pressure plate 320 parallel to the plane of the waste collection port 120. This allows the lawnmower to enter the cleaning trough 121 smoothly via the pressure plate 320. Once the mowing equipment enters the cleaning trough 121, it disengages from the pressure plate 320, i.e., from the baffle assembly 300. The baffle 310, under the action of the elastic element 330, returns to an angled position with the plane of the waste collection port 120, exposing the waste collection port 120. At this time, the air blowing assembly 200 is located at the bottom of the mowing equipment. Air is introduced into the air blowing assembly 200 via a blower to clean the bottom of the mowing equipment. Simultaneously, the air blowing assembly 200 blows cleaned waste, grass clippings, dirt, and other debris towards the waste collection port 120, where the waste is collected, thus completing the cleaning of the mowing equipment's chassis. After cleaning and collecting the waste, the lawn mower needs to leave the cleaning station. When the lawn mower leaves the cleaning station, it will first come into contact with the pressure plate 320 to apply pressure to the pressure plate 320. This will cause the pressure plate 320 to drive the baffle 310 to close the waste collection port 120 under the action of external force, so that the lawn mower can leave the cleaning station smoothly.
