[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper end, lower end, left side, right side" described below are all defined based on the drawings in the specification.

[0038] See also Figure 1 The upper cover provided in the embodiment of the present application is used for an autonomous mobile device, which may be a lawn mower. The upper cover includes a cover body 10, which is used to cover the top of a body 60 of the autonomous mobile device to shield the connection structure (such as screw holes) on the top of the body 60. The cover body 10 is provided with a plurality of detachable sub-components 20, and any detachable sub-component 20 is used to be connected to a corresponding detachable mother component 70 on the body 60, so that the cover body 10 is detachably connected to the body 60.

[0039] It can be seen that compared with the traditional fixed installation method, such as using screws to connect the upper cover and the body 60, the upper cover provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected by a detachable sub-component 20 and a detachable mother component 70, so that the cover body 10 can be detachably connected to the body 60.

[0040] The above setting method can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0041] First, easy to assemble and disassemble: During the production process, the detachable design simplifies the assembly process and reduces the difficulty of assembly. It also facilitates disassembly and improves assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0042] Second, it is convenient for maintenance and replacement: the detachable design makes it easier to remove the cover when maintenance or replacement is needed, reducing the time required for maintenance and replacement.

[0043] Third, it is easy to modularize the design: the detachable design of the detachable sub-component 20 and the detachable mother component 70 can make the entire upper cover product more modular and integrated, which is not only conducive to improving production efficiency, but also convenient for functional expansion or upgrading.

[0044] Fourth, it reduces production costs: the detachable design helps to reduce the risk of damage to the upper cover and the body 60 during assembly and disassembly, and reduces the need to replace the entire product due to damage to the upper cover or the body 60, thereby reducing maintenance and production costs.

[0045] Of course, according to actual needs, the connection method between the above-mentioned detachable sub-component 20 and the detachable mother component 70 includes but is not limited to a snap-on method, a plug-in method, a magnetic attraction method, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, any detachable sub-component 20 is a snap-on sub-component, and any detachable female component 70 on the body 60 is a snap-on female component. The snap-on sub-component is used to snap-on with the corresponding snap-on female component to achieve the connection between the upper cover and the body 60.

[0047] By adopting the snap-on connection method of the snap-on sub-component and the snap-on mother component, no additional tools are required for disassembly, and the user can operate it with bare hands, which simplifies the maintenance and replacement process. At the same time, it allows the user to quickly connect or separate the upper cover and the body 60, improving the convenience of operation. In addition, it reduces the number of fasteners (such as screws) required and simplifies the product design and assembly process.

[0048] In some embodiments, any detachable sub-component 20 is a magnetic sub-component, and any detachable mother component 70 on the body 60 is a magnetic mother component. The magnetic sub-component is used to be attracted and connected with the magnetic mother component on the body 60 to achieve the connection between the upper cover and the body 60.

[0049] The magnetic sub-component and the magnetic mother component are connected by suction, and there is no need to use extra force to tighten or clamp, so the operation is easier. At the same time, the magnetic force can assist the upper cover to automatically align to the correct position of the body 60, simplifying the assembly process. In addition, there is almost no noise during the magnetic connection and separation process, which improves the user experience during the installation and removal of the upper cover.

[0050] The following is a specific description of the connection method between the buckle sub-component and the buckle mother component.

[0051] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 4 Any snap-on component includes a connecting portion 21 and a first snap-on portion 22 arranged on the connecting portion 21, and the corresponding snap-on mother component is provided with a second snap-on portion 71. In this way, the first snap-on portion 22 is used to snap-on with the second snap-on portion 71 of the snap-on mother component, so that the snap-on component and the corresponding snap-on mother component are snap-oned.

[0052] More specifically, the first clamping part 22 is provided with a first locking surface 221 and a first guide surface 222 in sequence along the direction in which the clamping part is clamped into or inserted into the machine body 60, and correspondingly, the second clamping part 71 is provided with a second guide surface 712 and a second locking surface 711 in sequence in the socket direction. In this way, in the process of clamping the clamping part on the upper cover into the corresponding clamping mother part on the machine body 60, the first clamping part 22 passes over the second clamping part 71 under the cooperation of the first guide surface 222 and the second guide surface 712 of the second clamping part 71, so that the first locking surface 221 is pressed against the second locking surface 711 of the second clamping part 71, thereby locking the cover body 10 to the machine body 60.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first clamping portion 22 may be a clamping protrusion structure that is provided on the connecting portion 21 and protrudes toward the inside. The first clamping portion 22 and the connecting portion 21 are an integrally formed structure, and the first locking surface 221 and the first guide surface 222 may be inclined surfaces that are angled to each other. The angle of the first guide surface 222 should facilitate the first clamping portion 22 to be clamped into the second clamping portion 71, and the angle of the first locking surface 221 should facilitate the first clamping portion 22 and the second clamping portion 71 to be engaged with each other during assembly to achieve the purpose of interlocking. At the same time, it should also facilitate the first clamping portion 22 to be separated from the second clamping portion 71 during disassembly to achieve the purpose of saving effort.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the strength of the connection between the buckle component and the cover body 10 , a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are provided between the connecting portion 21 and the cover body 10 , and the thickness of any reinforcing rib 23 gradually decreases in a direction away from the connecting portion 21 .

[0055] That is, the thickness of any reinforcing rib 23 gradually decreases from the corresponding connecting portion 21 along a direction away from the connecting portion 21 .

[0056] With such a configuration, the reinforcing ribs 23 can significantly improve the rigidity and strength of the snap-on components on the cover body 10, which helps the snap-on components resist bending and twisting, and the thickness variation of the reinforcing ribs 23 helps to distribute stress more reasonably, reduce stress concentration, and extend the service life of the product. In addition, through the design of the gradual reduction in the thickness of the reinforcing ribs 23, the weight of the cover body 10 can be reduced without sacrificing structural strength, which helps to achieve lightweight.

[0057] In some embodiments, a protrusion 30 is disposed on the edge of the cover body 10 . The protrusion 30 is in an inverted triangle shape and has a rounded corner structure.

[0058] For example, the raised portions 30 can be provided on the edges of the left and right sides of the cover body 10, so that the user can remove the upper cover from the machine body 60 by hand from the left and right sides of the cover body 10. The purpose of providing the raised portions 30 with rounded corners is to prevent the user from cutting his hands.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cover body 10 is provided with a plurality of positioning members 40 , and any positioning member 40 is used to be positioned and matched with a corresponding positioning hole 80 on the machine body 60 , so that the cover body 10 is positioned on the machine body 60 .

[0060] During assembly, each positioning member 40 is rotated to each positioning hole 80 and then snapped together. This can guide the assembly of the upper cover plate, facilitate the successful assembly of the upper cover plate at one time, and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0061] Of course, according to actual needs, the above-mentioned positioning member 40 can be a positioning member 40 with a cross-shaped cross-section, and correspondingly, the positioning hole 80 is a positioning hole 80 with a cross-shaped cross-section. After the positioning member 40 and the corresponding positioning hole 80 are plugged in and matched, it is convenient to position the upper cover on the horizontal plane. Finally, after the buckle sub-member and the buckle mother member are snapped in, the purpose of fixing the upper cover is achieved.

[0062] In some embodiments, the cover body 10 is provided with a functional avoidance hole 50, which is used to avoid the rain sensor 90 on the body 60. The shape and size of the functional avoidance hole 50 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the rain sensor 90, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cover body 10 includes a first plate body 11, a second plate body 12 and a third plate body 13. The third plate body 13 is connected between the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12. The size of the third plate body 13 along the moving direction of the autonomous mobile device is smaller than the first plate body 11 or the second plate body 12. That is, the structure of the entire cover body is small in the middle and large at both ends, and the functional avoidance hole 50 is provided on the third plate body 13.

[0064] In addition, a group of detachable sub-components 20 are provided on the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12, and the detachable sub-components 20 on the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 are evenly distributed to improve the fastening effect, and the buckle sub-components and positioning components 40 on the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 are staggered, or a positioning component 40 is provided between any two adjacent buckle components.

[0065] Please also read Figure 3 An autonomous mobile device provided in the present application includes a body 60 and an upper cover plate described in the above specific embodiment. The body 60 is provided with a plurality of detachable mother parts 70. Any detachable mother part 70 is used to connect with a corresponding detachable sub-part 20 on the upper cover plate so as to detachably connect the cover plate body 10 to the body 60.

[0066] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0067] The upper cover plate and autonomous mobile device provided by the present application are introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the scheme of the present application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
