In addition to being used as a means of transportation for family use, they are also widely used in other fields. For example, more and more urban cleaning work uses sweepers to replace pure manual sweeping. It has high work efficiency and reduces the physical burden on workers. Like most electric vehicles, current sweepers are often powered by lithium batteries, which are often installed at the rear end and bottom of the sweeper. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN212709043U discloses a lithium battery replacement device for electric sweepers.
