[Specific implementation method]
[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0050] With the layout and development of new energy in various fields, it is becoming a trend for new energy equipment to replace traditional fuel equipment. In the field of new energy, various battery packs are widely used. Generally, in order to realize the electrical connection between the battery pack and the new energy equipment, power terminals are set on the new energy equipment. Most of these power terminals are directly exposed to the outside or covered by movable protective covers. However, the protective covers of existing equipment are mostly movable up and down, and the upper part thereof is generally provided with openings for exposing the terminals.
[0051] Especially for some new energy equipment working outdoors, they will experience a variety of complex environments. For example, weeds, dirt or branches can easily get stuck between the power terminal and the shell or fall into the gap between the power terminal and the protective cover through the opening on the top of the protective cover. They are difficult to clean and will affect the assembly of the battery pack or cause a short circuit during the assembly of the battery pack. Over time, the stability of the connection with the battery pack will deteriorate, affecting the use of new energy equipment.
[0052] In some inverter devices or outdoor working equipment, electric energy is output through the inverter device or outdoor working equipment to power or charge electrical equipment. The voltage output by the inverter device or outdoor working equipment is relatively large, generally above 50V, which exceeds the safe voltage that the human body can withstand (below 36V), resulting in some safety problems with the exposed power terminals.
[0053] See also Figure 1-Figure 15 As shown, a matching structure 100 of an embodiment disclosed in the present application is configured to accommodate and electrically connect an electrical device 200, wherein the electrical device 200 includes a first conductive component 210, and the matching structure 100 includes: a shell 110, wherein the shell 110 includes: an inner cavity 130 formed by the shell 110; an outer cavity 120 having an opening, wherein the outer cavity 120 is used to accommodate the electrical device 200, wherein the outer cavity 120 is formed by the shell 110 and the outer cavity 120 is isolated from the inner cavity 130 by the shell 110, and a pivotable driving member 140 and a second conductive component 150 movably hidden in the inner cavity 130 are provided on the shell 110, wherein the driving member 140 can pivotally drive the second conductive component 150 to at least partially extend out of or hide in the inner cavity 130.
[0054] It should be understood that the first conductive component 210 and the second conductive component 150 mentioned in the present application both include power terminals that can realize electrical connection between the two, and the power terminal structures of the two can be the same or different. The electrical device 200 includes a battery pack or other power supply equipment or power supply unit that can be electrically connected to the matching structure 100.
[0055] Please also see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 When the electrical device 200 is assembled in the outer cavity 120, the electrical device 200 can drive the driving member 140, so that the driving member 140 drives the second conductive component 150 to at least partially extend from the inner cavity 130 to the outer cavity 120, and the second conductive component 150 is electrically connected to the first conductive component 210. When the electrical device 200 is removed from the outer cavity 120, that is, the electrical device 200 is separated from the housing 110, the driving relationship between the electrical device 200 and the driving member 140 is terminated, the portion of the second conductive component 150 extending from the outer cavity 120 is hidden back into the inner cavity 130, and the second conductive component 150 is electrically disconnected from the first conductive component 210.
[0056] In this way, the electrical device 200 is installed or separated from the outer cavity 120 by means of insertion and removal. At the same time, when inserted, the electrical device 200 relies on its own weight to squeeze the driving member 140, so that the driving member 140 drives the second conductive component 150 to approach the first conductive component 210 on the electrical device 200 and electrically connect with it, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the electrical device 200 and the shell 110. When removed, the electrical device 200 and the shell 110 are electrically disconnected, and the second conductive component 150 retracts into the inner cavity 130, so that the second conductive terminal is hidden in the inner cavity 130 when not in use, thereby being better protected to avoid the second conductive component 150 being damaged or accidental electric shock.
[0057] As described above, during the process of assembling the electrical device 200 in the outer cavity 120, the electrical device 200 uses its own weight to squeeze the driving member 140 to operate, and there is no need for the operator to apply additional force to the driving member 140, which saves the complexity and difficulty of assembling the electrical device 200 and is a clever design.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the outer cavity 120 is formed by the housing 110 being recessed inwardly.
[0059] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9As shown, the driving member 140 includes a driven portion 141 which is at least partially located in the outer cavity 120 and can be in sliding contact with the electrical device 200, a rotating pin 142 for supporting the driven portion 141 to pivot, and a driving portion 143 for driving the second conductive component 150 to move, and the driven portion 141 is fixedly connected to the rotating pin 142 and the driving portion 143.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, the passive portion 141 and the driving portion 143 are at an angle. When the passive portion 141 is completely located in the inner cavity 130 of the shell 110, at least a portion of the second conductive component 150 must be located in the outer cavity 120; when the second conductive component 150 is completely hidden in the inner cavity 130, at least a portion of the passive portion 141 must be exposed in the outer cavity 120.
[0061] When the electrical device 200 is assembled in the outer cavity 120, the passive part 141 located in the inner part of the outer cavity 120 pivots and hides in the housing 110 under the gravity squeezing action of the electrical device 200. At the same time, driven by the pivoting of the passive part 141, the driving part 143 pivots and drives the second conductive component 150 to extend from the inner cavity 130 to the outer cavity 120, so that the second conductive component 150 is electrically connected to the first conductive component 210. When the electrical device 200 is removed from the outer cavity 120, the electrical device 200 is separated from the passive part 141, the passive part 141 pivots and restores the part hidden in the inner cavity 130 from the inner cavity 130 to the outer cavity 120. At the same time, driven by the pivoting of the passive part 141, the driving part 143 drives the second conductive component 150 to hide the part of the second conductive component 150 extending from the outer cavity 120 back to the inner cavity 130, and the second conductive component 150 is electrically disconnected from the first conductive component 210.
[0062] like Figure 2 The housing 110 is provided with a driven opening 113 for the driven portion 141 to move, so that the driven portion 141 can reciprocate between the inner cavity 130 and the outer cavity 120 through the driven opening 113 .
[0063] Furthermore, the driven part 141, the rotating pin 142 and the driving part 143 are connected as a whole, and can be fixedly connected or integrally formed. When the electrical device 200 is inserted into the outer cavity 120, the electrical device 200 gradually approaches the driving member 140, and slowly contacts the driven part 141 of the driving member 140, and gradually squeezes the driven part 141, so that the driven part 141 rotates under the support of the rotating pin 142. At the same time, the driving part 143 rotates driven by the driven part 141. At this time, the driving part 143 drives the second conductive component 150 to move by rotating. When the electrical device 200 is fully assembled in the outer cavity 120, the second conductive component 150 just forms an electrical connection with the first conductive component 210.
[0064] like Fig. 9In order to realize automatic resetting of the driving member 140, the driving member 140 of the present application also includes a first elastic member 145 respectively connected to the shell 110 and the driven part 141. The first elastic member 145 is used to apply a force to the driven part 141 so that the driven part 141 can at least partially remain in the outer cavity 120 without the action of external force. Preferably, the first elastic member 145 is a torsion spring.
[0065] Of course, since the driven part 141, the rotating pin 142 and the driving part 143 are connected as an integral structure, the first elastic member 145 can be connected to the driven part 141 to drive the driven part 141 to reset, and the first elastic member 145 can also be connected to the rotating pin 142 or the driving part 143, so that the first elastic member 145 can indirectly drive the driven part 141 to reset by driving the rotating pin 142 or the driving part 143 to rotate.
[0066] In a specific embodiment, the mass of the electrical device 200 is not less than 16 kg. When it is assembled with the matching structure 100, the pressure applied by its own weight to the driving member 140 is greater than the elastic force applied by the first elastic member 145 to the driving member 140. Therefore, without applying additional force, the electrical device 200 can use its own weight to drive the driving member 140 to pivot. At the same time, the driving member 140 drives the second conductive component 150 to approach the first conductive component 210 and gradually achieve electrical connection with the first conductive component 210.
[0067] In actual use, especially when the matching structure 100 is applied to movable outdoor working equipment, there is a certain gap between the electrical device 200 and the outer cavity 120. When the electrical device 200 moves relative to the outer cavity 120, the electrical device 200 and the driving member 140 are in movable contact with each other. At the same time, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 145, the second conductive component 150 and the first conductive component 210 can move relative to each other, thereby improving the flexibility of the contact between the two, so as to prevent the first conductive component 210 from damaging the second conductive component 150 due to the impact force.
[0068] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In a specific embodiment, the second conductive component 150 includes a moving member 151, a connecting portion 153 disposed on the moving member 151, and a second conductive portion 152 disposed on the moving member 151. The first conductive component 210 includes a fixing member fixed on the electrical device 200 and a first conductive portion 211 disposed on the fixing member. The connecting portion 153 is used to connect with the driving portion 143, so that the driven portion 141 can drive the driving portion 143 by pivoting to drive the connecting portion 153, thereby driving the moving member 151 to drive the second conductive portion 152 to move and form an electrical connection or release the electrical connection with the first conductive portion 211.
[0069] Furthermore, the driven portion 141 may be a fan-shaped structure, and may rotate with one end thereof away from the fan-shaped arc surface as a rotation point.
[0070] like Figure 5 and Fig. 9 , the second conductive part 152 is arranged on one side of the moving part 151, the connecting part 153 is arranged on the other side of the moving part 151, and the connecting part 153 is arranged close to the driving part 143. In a specific embodiment, in the first direction 10 (in the state of daily use, the first direction 10 is the vertical direction), the second conductive part 152 is arranged on the upper part of the moving part 151, and the connecting part 153 is arranged on the lower part of the moving part 151. The second conductive part 152 is an electrical terminal, which is fixed on the moving part 151 and moves synchronously with the moving part 151. The connecting part 153 and the driving part 143 are arranged close to each other, which is conducive to connecting the two and saving space layout.
[0071] like Fig. 9 In a specific embodiment, the connection part 153 is provided with a groove 154, and the driving part 143 is at least partially located in the groove 154. Preferably, the groove 154 is a U-shaped groove, and the part of the driving part 143 located in the groove 154 is a cylinder 144, and the cylinder 144 is slidably matched with the U-shaped groove. When the driving part 143 pivots to drive the connection part 153 to move, the part of the driving part 143 in the groove 154 is in rotational friction contact with the groove 154 and moves between the first end and the second end of the groove 154. Further, in the first direction 10 (vertical direction), the first end and the second end of the groove 154 are the upper end and the lower end of the groove 154, respectively.
[0072] In a specific embodiment, two connecting parts 153 are arranged side by side and at intervals, each connecting part 153 has a U-shaped groove, and cylinders 144 are arranged on both sides of the driving part 143, and the cylinders 144 on each side are placed in a corresponding U-shaped groove, and can rotate and move in the U-shaped groove, and move back and forth between the first end and the second end of the groove 154. The distance between the first end and the second end is required to ensure that the cylinder 144 does not separate from the connecting part 153 during the movement.
[0073] like Figure 5 and Fig.10As shown, the housing 110 is provided with a first mounting member 160 and a second mounting member 170 for mounting the driving member 140, and a guide space 190 is formed between the first mounting member 160 and the second mounting member 170. The second conductive component 150 can reciprocate in the guide space 190 under the drive of the driving member 140, so that the second conductive component 150 extends out of or retracts into the inner cavity 130. Further, the first mounting member 160 is formed with a notch, and the notch is combined with the second mounting member 170 to form the above-mentioned guide space 190, guiding the second conductive component 150 to run in a straight line or approximately in a straight line, so that the second conductive component 150 can keep reciprocating in the second direction 20 and will not fall off from the guide space 190.
[0074] The second conductive assembly 150 includes a second conductive part 152. A shielding part 161 for protecting the second conductive part 152 is disposed on the first mounting member 160 at one end of the guide space 190 close to the outer cavity 120. Avoidance grooves 162 for connecting the inner cavity 130 and the outer cavity 120 are disposed on the shielding part 161 at intervals. When the second conductive part 152 moves in the guide space 190, the second conductive part 152 can reciprocate in the avoidance grooves 162 to achieve partial extension or retraction of the second conductive part 152 into the housing 110. The guide space 190 is located in the inner cavity 130 of the housing 110 and is connected to the outer cavity 120. The shielding part 161 is disposed at one end of the guide space 190 close to the outer cavity 120, and an avoidance groove 162 for the second conductive part 152 to pass through is disposed on the shielding part 161, in order to reduce the entry of debris into the inner cavity 130, and also to protect the second conductive part 152 from damage caused by physical impact of external objects or erosion of pollutants.
[0075] In a normal use state, the opening of the avoidance groove 162 is arranged in a horizontal direction, which can effectively reduce the entry of impurities and the like, thereby preventing the second conductive component 150 from getting stuck and being unable to move.
[0076] Furthermore, the rotating pin 142 is rotatably connected to the second mounting member 170. Two rotating holes are provided on the second mounting member 170. The two rotating holes can be symmetrically arranged. Both ends of the rotating pin 142 are inserted into the two rotating holes and can rotate relative to the second mounting member 170 with the two rotating holes as the rotation center.
[0077] like Fig.10 In a specific embodiment, the number of the second conductive parts 152 is multiple, the number of the avoidance grooves 162 is multiple, and the number of the second conductive parts 152 is matched with the number of the avoidance grooves 162. In this way, an appropriate number of avoidance grooves 162 are provided according to the number of the second conductive parts 152, which also reduces the impurities and the like from entering the inner cavity 130 to a certain extent, and well protects the second conductive parts 152 and other components in the inner cavity 130.
[0078] Please also see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide space 190 includes a guide groove 191, one end of the guide groove 191 is a first limiting portion 172 arranged on the second mounting member 170, and the other end is a second limiting portion 192 arranged on the housing 110 and corresponding to the first limiting portion 172. On a plane, the moving member 151 is located between the first limiting portion 172 and the second limiting portion 192 and can be moved to form abutment with the first limiting portion 172 and the second limiting portion 192 respectively. The guide groove 191 is located at the bottom of the guide space 190 and at the upper part of the second mounting member 170. Two limiting side walls 173 arranged parallel to each other are formed on both sides of the upper part of the second mounting member 170, so that the moving member 151 can keep moving linearly in the second direction 20 under the restriction of the two limiting side walls 173.

[0079] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 In a specific embodiment, the electrical device 200 is inserted into the outer cavity 120 along the first direction 10. In this way, the electrical device 200 is moved along the first direction 10 by utilizing its own weight, and the movement of the first conductive component 210 assembled on the matching structure 100 is converted into the pivoting movement of the driving member 140. The driving member 140 then converts its pivoting movement into a linear movement of the second conductive component 150 along the second direction 20. This design achieves the purpose of the electrical device 200 utilizing its own weight to achieve electrical connection between the external device and itself. The design is ingenious, so that the linkage between the device and the components is tight, and the structural design is compact and reasonable.
[0080] Furthermore, the first direction 10 is perpendicular to the second direction 20. Specifically, the movement trajectories of the first conductive component 210 and the second conductive component 150 when they approach or move away from each other are perpendicular to each other. The movement trajectories of the first conductive component 210 and the second conductive component 150 when they approach or move away from each other can also be acute angle or obtuse angle.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, the first mounting member 160 and the second mounting member 170 are detachably connected. Buckles 163 are respectively provided on both sides of the first mounting member 160, and correspondingly, slots 171 are provided on both sides of the second mounting member 170. The first mounting member 160 and the second mounting member 170 can be detachably connected by the cooperation of the buckles 163 and the slots 171.
[0082] In a specific embodiment, one driving member 140 and one second conductive component 150 form a group, and two groups of driving members 140 and second conductive components 150 are symmetrically arranged. Two groups of first conductive components 210 are symmetrically arranged on the electrical device 200. When the electrical device 200 is assembled in the outer cavity 120, the two groups of first conductive components 210 are respectively electrically connected to the two groups of second conductive components 150. The output voltage or input voltage of each group of first conductive components 210 is the same or substantially the same.
[0083] Please also see Figure 3 and Figure 8 In another embodiment, a matching structure provided by the present application further includes a locking assembly 180, which is disposed on the housing 110. The locking assembly 180 is used to lock the electrical device 200 to the matching structure 100. The locking assembly 180 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking assembly 180 is in the locked state, the second conductive assembly 150 at least partially extends from the inner cavity 130 to the outer cavity 120 and forms an electrical connection with the first conductive assembly 210. When the locking assembly 180 is in the unlocked state, the portion of the second conductive assembly 150 extending from the outer cavity 120 is hidden back into the inner cavity 130, and the second conductive assembly 150 is electrically disconnected from the first conductive assembly 210. The setting of the locking assembly 180 is to enable the electrical device 200 to form a stable electrical connection with the matching structure 100, so as to avoid the separation of the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100 when the electrical connection outputs electrical energy, and to prevent the accidental interruption of power transmission.
[0084] In a specific embodiment, the locking assembly 180 includes a second elastic member 182 disposed on the housing 110 and a locking member 183 movable relative to the housing 110. The electrical device 200 is provided with a locking slot 230. The second elastic member 182 is configured to keep the locking member 183 inserted into the locking slot 230 without external force, so as to lock the electrical device 200 on the matching structure 100 to ensure a stable electrical connection between the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100. The second elastic member 182 is preferably a compression spring.
[0085] like Figure 8Furthermore, the locking assembly 180 also includes a triggering member 181 pivotably disposed on the housing 110, the triggering member 181 includes a triggering portion 1811, a rotating portion 1812 and a toggle portion 1813, a toggle slot 184 is disposed on the locking member 183, the toggle portion 1813 is inserted into the toggle slot 184, and the triggering portion 1811 can drive the toggle portion 1813 to rotate, thereby driving the locking member 183 away from or inserted into the lock slot 230. An opening is disposed on the housing 110, the rotating portion 1812 of the triggering member 181 is inserted into the opening, and can rotate with the opening as support. When the electrical device 200 needs to be unlocked, the operator only needs to touch the triggering portion 1811, the triggering portion 1811 drives the toggle portion 1813 to rotate by pivoting, and then drives the locking member 183 away from the lock slot 230 by the toggle portion 1813, thereby realizing the unlocking of the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100.
[0086] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Fig.11 The housing 110 is provided with a pop-up assembly 112 at the bottom of the outer cavity 120. The pop-up assembly 112 is used to push the electrical device 200 to move in the outer cavity 120 when the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100 are switched from a locked state to an unlocked state, so as to release the electrical connection between the first conductive assembly 210 and the second conductive assembly 150. There are multiple pop-up assemblies 112. When the electrical device 200 is unlocked from the housing 110, the superimposed elastic force of the multiple pop-up assemblies 112 can meet the requirements of pushing the electrical device 200 to move and release the electrical connection with the matching structure 100.
[0087] It should be understood that when the electrical device 200 is assembled in the matching structure 100 and gradually locked, since the gravity of the electrical device 200 is smaller than the superimposed force of multiple pop-up components 112, the operator needs to apply force to the electrical device 200 to achieve complete locking of the electrical device 200 in the matching structure 100. At this time, the first conductive component 210 and the second conductive component 150 are in full contact.
[0088] In a specific embodiment, the pop-up assembly 112 includes a mounting body 1121, a pop-up member 1123 and a third elastic member 1126. A rotation hole is provided at one end of the mounting body 1121, and a rotation rod 1124 is provided at one end of the pop-up member 1123. The rotation rod 1124 can be inserted into the rotation hole and can rotate relative to the mounting body 1121. The other end of the mounting body 1121 is provided with a mounting cavity 1122, and the other end of the pop-up member 1123 of the third elastic member 1126 is provided with a pop-up protrusion 1125. The third elastic member 1126 is provided between the pop-up protrusion 1125 and the mounting cavity 1122. The housing 110 and the bottom of the outer cavity 120 are provided with a pop-up hole 14, and the pop-up protrusion 1125 can move in the pop-up hole 14. The third elastic member 1126 is preferably a compression spring.
[0089] When the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100 are in a locked state, the electrical device 200 squeezes the pop-up protrusion 1125 and moves toward the inner cavity 130, the third elastic member 1126 accumulates force and applies a large elastic force to the electrical device 200; when the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100 are in an unlocked state, the accumulated third elastic member 1126 uses its elastic force to apply a thrust to the electrical device 200, so that the electrical device 200 moves a certain distance in the outer cavity 120 and disconnects the electrical connection with the matching structure 100.
[0090] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one of the electrical device 200 and the matching structure 100 is provided with a slide groove 220, and the other is provided with a slide rail 111 that slidably cooperates with the slide groove 220, so that the electrical device 200 can play an auxiliary guiding role when the electrical device 200 is inserted into or removed from the matching structure 100. Preferably, the slide grooves 220 are respectively provided at both ends of the electrical device 200, and the slide rails 111 are respectively provided at both ends of the matching structure 100.
[0091] like Fig.15 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the driving member 140 can also be fixedly connected to the second conductive component 150, specifically, the driving portion 143 of the driving member 140 is directly fixedly connected to the moving member 151, and preferably, the driving portion 143 and the moving member 151 are an integrally formed structure. When the electrical device 200 is assembled on the matching structure 100, the driving member 140 can be driven to pivot, and the driving member 140 drives the second conductive component 150 to pivot by pivoting, so that the second conductive component 150 can also be electrically connected to the first conductive component 210 in a pivoting manner. The fixed connection between the driving member 140 and the second conductive component 150 makes the second conductive component 150 more stable in the movement of electrically connecting or disconnecting the first conductive component 210, and the driving member 140 does not need to rotate relative to the second conductive component 150, so that the overall structural design is simpler and more convenient.
[0092] like Fig.14 As shown, further, in order to support and guide the rotation of the second conductive component 150, a protrusion 1511 is provided on the movable part 151, and a guide portion 164 is provided on the first mounting part 160 in the shell 110. The guide portion 164 is an arc groove surrounded by a panel, and the protrusion 1511 slides in cooperation with the arc groove. In addition, the protrusion 1511 will follow the movable part 151 of the second conductive component 150 to move in an arc trajectory in the arc groove. By moving the protrusion 1511 in the guide portion 164, the rotational movement of the second conductive component 150 is well guided and supported, so that the movement of the second conductive component 150 is more stable, thereby ensuring the service life of the second conductive component 150.
[0093] In a specific embodiment, the present application also provides an inverter device, including the above-mentioned matching structure 100, a bidirectional inverter structure is arranged in the matching structure 100, the electrical device 200 is a battery pack, and the bidirectional inverter structure is used to convert the electric energy of the battery pack to output it to the external electrical device for power supply or convert the mains electricity to the battery pack for charging. The matching structure 100 is provided with the above-mentioned driving member 140 and the second conductive component 150, and the battery pack is provided with the above-mentioned first conductive component 210. When the inverter device needs to be electrically connected, the battery pack drives the driving member 140, and the driving member 140 drives the second conductive component 150 to be electrically connected to the first conductive component 210 through pivoting motion; when the inverter device does not need to be electrically connected, the battery pack releases the driving force applied to the driving member 140, and the driving member 140 pivots to drive the second conductive component 150 to be electrically disconnected from the first conductive component 210, and at the same time, the second conductive component 150 will be hidden in the inner cavity 130 of the matching structure 100, which plays a protective role for the second conductive component 150.
[0094] When the inverter device is charging the electrical device 200 , when the electrical device 200 is unplugged, the second conductive component 150 can be moved and hidden in the inner cavity 130 to prevent the operator from getting an electric shock.

Specifically, the battery compartment 801 can be the above-mentioned matching structure 100, and the matching structure 100 is configured as the battery compartment 801 on the outdoor working equipment.

[0096] The battery compartment 801 is provided with the above-mentioned driving member 140 and the second conductive component 150, and the above-mentioned first conductive component 210 is provided on the battery pack 802. When the outdoor working equipment needs power supply, the driving member 140 pivots to drive the second conductive component 150 to be electrically connected with the first conductive component 210, and the battery pack 802 supplies power to the outdoor working equipment; when the outdoor working equipment does not need power supply, the driving member 140 pivots to drive the second conductive component 150 to be electrically disconnected from the first conductive component 210, and at the same time, the second conductive component 150 will be hidden in the inner cavity 130 of the battery compartment 801, so as to protect the second conductive component 150.
[0097] In a specific embodiment, a receiving cavity is provided on the battery compartment 801. Preferably, the receiving cavity can be the above-mentioned guide space 190. The receiving cavity not only guides the second conductive component 150, but also allows the second conductive component 150 to be hidden in the receiving cavity when not in use, without being disturbed by the external environment. Of course, the receiving cavity can also be any other cavity structure or cover structure that can accommodate the second conductive component 150.
[0098] Furthermore, on the outdoor working equipment, the driving member 140 and the second conductive component 150 may also be a fixedly connected structure, and the second conductive component 150 can pivot along with the driving member 140 to form an electrical connection with the first conductive component 210 .
[0099] A protrusion 1511 is provided on the moving part 151 of the second conductive component 150, and a guide portion 164 slidably matched with the protrusion 1511 is also provided on the battery compartment 801. The guide portion 164 is an arc-shaped structure for guiding the pivotal movement of the second conductive component 150 and supporting the movement of the second conductive component 150.

The power supply device 800 includes a battery compartment 801 and a battery pack 802.
[0101] In a specific embodiment, two first conductive components 210 are symmetrically arranged on the battery pack 802, and correspondingly, two second conductive components 150 are symmetrically arranged on the battery compartment 801. Of course, the two second conductive components 150 symmetrically arranged on the battery compartment 801 can be used to meet the simultaneous electrical connection of two small battery packs 802.

In this embodiment, the outdoor working equipment is a riding lawn mower, and the power output assembly 700 is specifically a cutting assembly, which is used to output power to realize the mowing function of the riding lawn mower. The cutting assembly is set to 2 groups or 3 groups. The cutting assembly is arranged below the main frame 300. In one embodiment, the cutting assembly includes: a blade, a mowing element and a cutting motor. The mowing element is used to cut vegetation such as grass when rotating at a high speed. For example, the mowing element is a blade for cutting vegetation on a lawn. The blade is formed with a mowing space for accommodating the mowing element, and the mowing element is at least partially located in the mowing space. In some embodiments, the number of mowing elements can be 2, and correspondingly, the number of cutting motors is also 2. The two cutting motors independently drive the two mowing elements. In some embodiments, the number of mowing elements can be 3, and correspondingly, the number of cutting motors is also 3. The three cutting motors independently drive the three mowing elements.
[0103] Of course, the power output assembly 700 can also be removed from the outdoor working equipment. In some embodiments, it can be understood that the power output assembly 700 can be replaced with other components. Therefore, the outdoor garden mower can not only cut vegetation, but also replace the cutting assembly with functional components such as snow shoveling, snow sweeping, snow blowing, and flushing. Technical personnel in this field should be able to adaptively replace various functional components without creative work, and all of the above should be included in the protection scope of this embodiment.
[0104] The walking assembly 400 includes a walking wheel arranged on the main frame 300 and a walking motor for driving the walking wheel.
