[0083] The rechargeable garden vehicle has the advantages of all-weather zero emissions, zero fuel consumption, low noise, and simple maintenance (no gasoline, no engine oil, no air filter, no spark plug, no fuel storage, etc.) compared with the traditional fuel garden vehicle. The power system of the rechargeable garden vehicle uses an electric motor instead of a fuel engine, and the electric motors of the drive wheels can be controlled separately to achieve the movement control of the whole vehicle such as going straight, reversing, turning, and zero turning, reducing the structural complexity of the whole vehicle and making the control of the whole vehicle more flexible.

[0084] The rechargeable garden vehicle is a complex device system composed of multiple functional components that implement various functions. The most critical mechanism is the combination of various electric motors and other functional components used. In the rechargeable garden vehicle, it is necessary to provide safe, accurate, and stable control for each functional component to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the whole vehicle.

[0085] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , the embodiments of this specification disclose a multi-functional garden vehicle, including a vehicle frame 1, a functional mechanism, and a power supply system 6; the vehicle frame 1 extends along the forward direction of the vehicle, and both the power supply system 6 and the functional mechanism are connected to the vehicle frame 1; the power supply system 6 is at least used to supply power to one of the functional mechanisms. In addition, the power supply system 6 can also supply power to other electronic components in the garden vehicle, such as a human-machine interaction system, etc.

[0086] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , in one optional embodiment, the garden vehicle is further configured with a charging port 9 for charging the power supply system 6.

[0087] The above power supply system 6 is provided on the vehicle frame 1, and a part of it is detachably connected to the vehicle frame 1. The power supply system 6 includes a plurality of battery units. The plurality of battery units can be selected from at least one of the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack. The specification differences between the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack include, but are not limited to, differences in battery pack capacity, voltage, battery internal resistance, weight, size, energy density, cell type, charge information, battery health status information, etc.

[0088] In some alternative embodiments, the difference between the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack lies in the different battery pack capacities. The capacity of the first specification battery pack is greater than that of the second specification battery pack. The second specification battery pack is configured to provide power for handheld gardening tools. For example, the second specification battery pack can supply power to garden tools such as lawn mowers, pruning machines, blowers, and chain saws. In addition, the second specification battery pack can also supply power to torque output tools such as electric drills and hammers; supply power to sawing tools such as circular saws, jigsaws, and reciprocating saws, or supply power to grinding tools such as angle grinders and sanders.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, the difference between the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack lies in the different cell types selected. For example, the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack can respectively select lithium iron phosphate cells and ternary lithium cells. The plurality of battery units in the power supply system 6 can also select nickel-chromium battery cells, lead-acid battery cells, graphene cells, etc.

[0090] The plurality of battery units of the power supply system 6 select at least one of the first specification battery pack and the second specification battery pack. In this way, the multi-functional vehicle can be compatible with different specification battery packs, meeting the high-power work requirements and being able to adapt to handheld electric gardening tools at the same time, making the working mode of garden workers more flexible.

[0091] In one of the alternative embodiments, the power supply system 6 further includes a battery compartment, a battery management system, etc. The battery compartment is used to accommodate the battery pack, and the battery management system is used to manage the power supply of the battery to each component of the vehicle.

[0092] In one of the alternative embodiments, the battery compartment and / or the battery management system are configured on the vehicle frame, and the battery pack is detachably configured in the battery compartment, so as to realize the detachable replacement of the battery pack, and the removed battery pack can be used for the above-mentioned other electric gardening tools.

[0093] In one of the alternative embodiments, the battery compartment is detachably configured on the vehicle frame, and the battery pack is accommodated in the battery compartment, that is, the battery compartment can be separated or combined with the vehicle frame as a whole.

[0094] In one of the specific optional embodiments, a power supply interface is provided on the frame, the battery compartment is hung on the vehicle and electrically connected to the power supply interface, and the battery compartment is detachable as a whole so that the user can replace all battery packs at the fastest speed. That is, when it is necessary to replenish power to the vehicle by replacing the battery pack, replacing the battery compartment as a whole is more efficient.

[0095] This specification also provides an optional embodiment, which discloses a multifunctional garden vehicle, which includes a frame 1, a functional mechanism, a controller system, a power supply system 6, etc.

[0096] The functional mechanism includes garden operation components, walking components and other components used to change the functional state of the multifunctional garden vehicle; the garden operation components are used to perform garden maintenance operations, and the walking components are transmission-connected to the drive wheels on the left and right sides of the frame 1 to drive the multifunctional garden vehicle.

[0097] See also Figure 1 The gardening operation component in this embodiment is a cutting table 8 connected to the frame 1, and the cutting table 8 includes a cutting knife that rotates to produce a mowing effect on the grass. In other embodiments, the gardening operation component can also be selected to have a component with gardening operation functions such as snow sweeping, snow blowing, snow shoveling, flushing, and bucketing, or a component used for grabbing and carrying goods to assist in construction during gardening operations. Those skilled in the art should be able to adaptably replace the operation components in this embodiment with various functional components without creative work, and all of the above should be included in the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0098] As described above, when the garden operation component is a cutting table 8, the multifunctional garden vehicle is a lawn mower; further, if the garden operation component is a snow sweeping component, the multifunctional garden vehicle is a snow sweeper; that is, the garden operation component, as the main functional component of the multifunctional garden vehicle, can be changed according to the user's choice; at the same time, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned garden operation component can also be a component that the user replaces according to actual needs, such as removing the cutting table 8 for mowing and replacing it with a sweeping disc for sweeping the floor, which changes the lawn mower into a sweeper; in summary: the garden operation component is replaced with any functional component according to user needs, which should not be understood as exceeding the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0099] See again the attached Figure 1 The active steering assembly in this embodiment is configured as a steering rod pivotally connected to the vehicle frame 1. When operating, the user controls the vehicle to travel and turn by rotating the steering rod. In other embodiments, the active steering assembly can also be configured as a steering wheel component, and the control handle 4 is a local structure on the steering wheel that is easy to hold. The vehicle turns according to the amount of rotation of the steering wheel component controlled by the user.

[0100] ReferenceFigure 1 , the active steering assembly of this embodiment includes a first steering rod 22 and a second steering rod 33, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle and are used to control the operation of the walking assembly on the corresponding side. A control handle 44 is arranged on the steering rod, and the control handle 4 can control some functions of the gardening vehicle; a light strip 7 is also arranged on the steering rod, and the light strip 7 can be lit to display certain information.

[0101] The active steering assembly is operably coupled to the drive wheels of the multi-functional gardening vehicle and is used to drive the drive wheels on both sides to generate a speed difference so that the gardening vehicle can turn. Further, the active steering assembly includes a control handle 4 for the user to hold and control, and a control member coupled to the controller system is arranged at the control handle 4. When the control member is controlled, the controller system controls at least one functional mechanism to generate a change in the functional state;

[0102] Refer to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 , the gardening vehicle of this embodiment further includes an unlocker, which includes an input unit and an unlock detection unit. The input unit is used for the user to input information to be verified, and the information to be verified includes a password and / or the user's biometric information collected; the unlock detection unit is coupled to the controller system and the input unit, and is used for sending an unlock signal to the controller system or the battery management system in response to the information to be verified passing the verification; the unlock signal is used to trigger the controller system to set the multi-functional gardening vehicle into an unlocked state; in the unlocked state, at least one functional mechanism of the multi-functional gardening vehicle can be activated.

[0103] Further, at least a part of the above-mentioned unlocker is arranged on the active steering assembly; during the normal use of the gardening vehicle, the active steering assembly is the component most frequently controlled by the user, and the user's hand is placed on the active steering assembly in more cases. Therefore, arranging the unlocker on the active steering assembly is more convenient for the user to control it, so as to unlock the gardening vehicle.

[0104] In one optional embodiment, the above-mentioned multi-functional gardening vehicle further includes a power supply system 6 arranged on the frame 1 and used to supply power to the functional mechanism. The power supply system 6 includes a battery and a battery management system;

[0105] Refer to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 , the controller system in this embodiment includes a plurality of sub-controllers respectively used to control the operation of each functional mechanism and a vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller is connected to each sub-controller and the battery management system.

[0106] In one optional embodiment, the unlocking detection unit is communicatively connected to at least one of the respective sub - controllers; specifically, the input unit is communicatively connected to at least one of the respective sub - controllers to form a communication connection with the unlocking detection unit.

[0107] Specifically, the functional mechanism includes garden operation components. The garden operation components include an operation mechanism and an operation motor for driving the operation mechanism; at least one of the sub - controllers is an operation motor controller for controlling the operation of the operation motor.

[0108] More specifically, in one embodiment, the garden operation component is a cutting table 8 for cutting and maintaining grass. A mowing motor for driving the cutter to rotate is configured in the cutting table 8. At least one of the sub - controllers is a cutter controller for controlling the operation of the mowing motor.

[0109] In another optional embodiment, the functional mechanism includes a traveling assembly. The traveling assembly is connected to the vehicle frame 1 and is in transmission connection with the drive wheels on both sides of the vehicle frame 1 for driving the multi - functional garden vehicle to travel. Specifically, the traveling assembly includes a traveling motor for driving the drive wheels; correspondingly, at least one of the sub - controllers is a traveling controller for controlling the operation of the traveling motor.

[0110] Reference appendix Figure 3 Referring to the appendix, the cutting table 8 in this embodiment has two mowing motors: a left mowing motor and a right mowing motor, and the left mowing motor and the right mowing motor are respectively equipped with a left cutter and a right cutter; further, the cutter controller includes a left cutter controller and a right cutter controller. The left cutter controller is used to control the operation of the left mowing motor, and the right cutter controller is used to control the operation of the right mowing motor.

[0111] Reference appendix Figure 3 Referring to the appendix, the traveling assembly in this embodiment includes two drive motors: a left drive motor and a right drive motor. The left drive motor and the right drive motor are respectively connected to the left drive wheel and the right drive wheel; further, the traveling controller includes a left traveling controller and a right traveling controller. The left traveling controller is used to control the operation of the left drive motor, and the right traveling controller is used to control the operation of the right drive motor.

[0112] Reference appendix Figure 3 Referring to the appendix, in one optional embodiment, the functional mechanism includes a lighting lamp configured on the front side or the rear side of the multi - functional garden vehicle. Correspondingly, one of the sub - controllers is a lighting lamp controller for controlling the operation of the lighting lamp.

[0113] Reference appendix Figure 1, in an optional embodiment, the active steering assembly is configured to be pivotally connected to the steering rod of the vehicle frame 1. During operation, the user controls the vehicle's driving and steering by rotating the steering rod. In other embodiments, the active steering assembly can also be configured as a steering wheel component. At this time, the input unit is arranged at a position on the steering wheel close to the user's hand grip, and the vehicle steers according to the rotation amount of the steering wheel component controlled by the user.

[0114] In one of the optional embodiments, referring to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 , the steering rod is configured to be controllably rotated about a first axis between a first forward position, an intermediate position, and a first reverse position. The first axis is parallel to the left-right direction of the vehicle. A deflection identifier for identifying the deflection position of the steering wheel is arranged at the steering rod, and the deflection identifier is connected to the travel controller.

[0115] When the steering rod is in the intermediate position, the travel controller controls the drive motor not to drive the drive wheels to rotate, and at this time the vehicle is in a stationary state. When the steering rod is in the first forward position, the travel controller controls the real-time speed of the drive motor to be equal to the maximum speed of its current speed range. When the steering rod is between the intermediate position and the first forward position, the travel controller controls the real-time speed of the drive motor to be less than the maximum speed of the current speed range, and when the steering rod continues to deflect towards the first forward position, the travel controller controls the real-time speed of the drive motor to increase.

[0116] In one of the optional embodiments, referring to the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 3 , the functional mechanism further includes a light strip 7 arranged on the surface of the steering rod and facing the front of the multi-functional garden vehicle; correspondingly, one of the sub-controllers is the light strip 7 controller for controlling the operation of the light strip 7.

[0117] In this embodiment, the input unit is arranged on the active steering assembly. The active steering assembly is controlled by the user to make the drive wheels run, that is, the active steering assembly is closer to the user's hand, which is more convenient for the user to operate the input unit. And because the input unit is close to the user's hand, the user's hand does not need to leave the active steering assembly during the process of inputting the information to be verified to the vehicle through the input unit, so the vehicle can be controlled at any time through the active steering assembly, avoiding the safety risk caused by the active steering assembly slipping out of the hand.

[0118] Furthermore, because the active steering assembly is selected as a steering rod or a steering wheel, both are located in the front of the vehicle. When the user looks at the input unit, there is no need to bend down or turn the head, and the visible range of the line of sight has no obvious difference from the normal driving state. Even the user can observe the situation around the vehicle with peripheral vision, so the situation around the vehicle can be observed in time, further reducing the safety risk.

[0119] As described above, with reference to the attached Figure 4 , the unlocker in this embodiment further includes an unlock detection unit. After the information to be verified input by the user through the input unit passes the verification by the unlock detection unit, an unlock signal is sent to the vehicle controller or the corresponding sub-controller of the controller system. This unlock signal is used to trigger the controller system to set the multi-functional garden vehicle into an unlocked state, in which at least one functional mechanism can be activated.

[0120] In one optional embodiment, the unlock detection unit and the input unit are jointly configured in the active steering assembly. After the user inputs the information to be verified into the input unit, it is sent to the unlock detection unit. That is, the unlock detection unit is directly connected to the input unit. In other optional embodiments, the unlock detection unit is configured at other positions of the vehicle, which does not affect the actual operation scheme of the unlocker. In other optional embodiments, the unlock detection unit is not directly communicatively connected to the input unit. The signal of the input unit is sent to the unlock detection unit after being relayed or pre-processed by the controller system or other components, but the unlock detection unit is still responsible for verifying the information to be verified, and it also does not affect the actual operation scheme of the unlocker.

[0121] The activation of the above at least one functional mechanism means that in one of the unlocked states, one or more functions may be activated.

[0122] In one optional unlocked state, the only functional mechanism that can be activated is the traveling assembly. In this state, the garden operation components of the multi-functional garden vehicle cannot be activated, that is, the garden operation cannot be effectively carried out, but the traveling assembly can be controlled to make the vehicle travel. When the multi-functional garden vehicle is in scenarios such as transportation, the garden operation components are in a state where they cannot be activated, which is obviously safer. Even if the user accidentally operates the control member of the garden operation component, the garden operation component will not work, thereby improving the safety performance of the vehicle.

[0123] In one optional unlocked state, the only functional mechanism that can be activated is the lighting lamp. In this state, the garden operation components and the traveling assembly of the multi-functional garden vehicle cannot be activated, that is, the vehicle cannot travel and carry out garden operations, but the lighting lamp can be controlled to start for lighting. When the multi-functional garden vehicle is waiting for operation arrangements in an environment with poor external lighting conditions and other scenarios, the multi-functional garden vehicle can neither travel nor activate the garden operation components, that is, the functions that are most likely to pose a safety threat to the outside world on the multi-functional garden vehicle are all in the off state, which is obviously safer. Even if the user accidentally touches the traveling assembly or operates the control member of the garden operation component, the multi-functional garden vehicle will not travel and the garden operation component will not work, thereby improving the safety performance of the vehicle.

[0124] In one of the optional unlocking states, the functional mechanisms that can be activated only include the gardening operation mechanism; the gardening operation mechanism in this embodiment is the cutting table 8. In this state, the traveling components and the lighting lamps of the multi-functional gardening vehicle cannot be activated, that is, the vehicle cannot travel or be illuminated. When the multi-functional gardening vehicle is in a state of repairing the cutting table 8, etc., the user needs to test the working condition of the cutting table 8. This non-traveling vehicle state can ensure that the traveling components of the vehicle will not operate. Even if the user accidentally touches the control member of the traveling component during the repair process, the gardening vehicle will not travel and cause danger, thereby improving the safety performance of the vehicle.

[0125] In another optional unlocking state, the functional mechanisms that can be activated include the gardening operation component and the lighting lamp; the gardening operation mechanism in this embodiment is the cutting table 8. In this state, the traveling components of the multi-functional gardening vehicle cannot be activated, that is, the vehicle cannot travel, but the lighting lamp can be started. When the multi-functional vehicle repairs the cutting table 8 in an environment with poor lighting, the lighting lamp can provide auxiliary lighting, thereby improving the lighting conditions of the environment and facilitating the user to repair the cutting table 8.

[0126] In another optional unlocking state, the functional mechanism that can be activated only includes the light strip 7, that is, the light strip 7 of the vehicle can be started to display information to the outside world, but other functional components cannot be started. When the gardening vehicle is in a faulty state, the user should place the gardening vehicle in this unlocking state. In this state, the gardening vehicle only transmits warnings or other information to the outside world through the light strip 7, but other functional devices cannot be started, avoiding the aggravation of the fault. The light strip 7 transmits warning information to the outside world so that the user can more confidently troubleshoot the vehicle for faults.

[0127] In another optional embodiment, the condition of the multi-functional gardening vehicle is normal and the vehicle can perform normal gardening operations. At this time, the gardening vehicle is made to enter a state where all functional mechanisms can be activated through the unlocker, and the user can then drive the gardening vehicle to start normal operations.

[0128] In another optional embodiment, one or more functional mechanisms of the multi-functional gardening vehicle have minor faults, but the faults do not directly affect the operation of the vehicle; for example, there are differences in the brightness of the lighting lamps on the left and right sides, or the power display unit shows abnormalities, etc. These minor faults do not actually directly affect the gardening operation. Therefore, in this embodiment, there is a corresponding unlocking state. In this unlocking state, the functional mechanisms of the vehicle with minor faults are not activated, that is, all functional mechanisms except for the minor faults are activated to temporarily allow the user to continue the operation, and the minor faults will be repaired uniformly after the operation is completed. This avoids the situation where the gardening vehicle cannot operate when there are minor faults.

[0129] Furthermore, in some embodiments, any one or more functional mechanisms of the multi-functional garden vehicle can be activated by setting different unlocking states, which can better meet the application requirements of various scenarios.

[0130] In addition to the above application scenarios, the unlocking states in which at least one functional mechanism can be activated are also applied to temporarily open some permissions to other users. Specifically, one optional embodiment is as follows: when the vehicle is in a state of being carried by external personnel, a piece of information to be verified is opened to the external personnel. When the information to be verified passes the verification of the unlocking detection unit, only the traveling component of the garden vehicle is activated, and the external personnel can drive the garden vehicle to realize vehicle transfer, but cannot use other functional mechanisms such as garden operation components.

[0131] Refer to Appendix Figure 1 and Appendix Figure 3 Referring to Appendix, in one optional embodiment, the multi-functional garden vehicle is exemplified as a lawn mower. Its traveling component includes a left drive wheel and a right drive wheel, and its working mechanism includes a cutter bar 8 with a left cutter and a right cutter. The traveling motors of the multi-functional garden vehicle include: a left drive motor connected to and driving the left drive wheel, and a right drive motor connected to and driving the right drive wheel. The working motors of the multi-functional garden vehicle include: a left lawn mowing motor connected to and driving the left cutter, and a right lawn mowing motor connected to and driving the right cutter.

[0132] Refer to Appendix Figure 3 In this embodiment, the controller system includes: a vehicle controller (VCU), a traveling controller, a cutter controller, a lighting controller, a strip light 7 controller, etc. The traveling controller includes: a left traveling controller connected to and controlling the left drive motor, and a right traveling controller connected to and controlling the right drive motor. The cutter controller includes: a left cutter controller connected to and controlling the left lawn mowing motor, and a right cutter controller connected to and controlling the right lawn mowing motor. The lighting controller is used to control the turning on and off, brightness, etc. of the lighting. The strip light 7 controller is used to control the turning on and off, brightness, display content, etc. of the strip light 7.

[0133] The multi-functional garden vehicle includes a power supply device, and the power supply device includes a battery and a battery management system. As an example, the battery can be a lithium-ion battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, or other types of power batteries. The battery management system is used to manage the power supply of the battery to each controller and functional mechanism of the multi-functional garden vehicle.

[0134] The vehicle controller is communicatively connected to a traveling controller, a cutter controller, a battery management system, etc. In some embodiments, the communicative connection may be implemented as a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus connection. The vehicle controller, the left traveling controller, the right traveling controller, the left cutter controller, the right cutter controller, the lighting controller, and the light strip 7 controller each have a unique address in the Controller Area Network bus network, and they communicate with each other according to their respective addresses by sending and receiving messages.

[0135] The multi-functional work vehicle further includes an active steering assembly configured as a steering lever. As an example, the steering lever includes a first steering lever 2 (left steering lever) and a second steering lever 3 (right steering lever). The left steering lever is configured with a left control handle 4, and the right steering lever is configured with a right control handle 4.

[0136] The left steering lever further includes a left deflection identifier for identifying the deflection angle of the left steering lever relative to the vehicle frame 1, and the right steering lever further includes a right deflection identifier for identifying the deflection angle of the right steering lever relative to the vehicle frame 1. The left deflection identifier is connected to the left traveling controller and is used to receive user operations to output a control signal for the left drive wheel to the left traveling controller. The right deflection identifier is connected to the right traveling controller and is used to receive user operations to output a control signal for the right drive wheel to the right traveling controller.

[0137] Thus, the left and right drive wheels can be controlled by the left and right steering levers, enabling the gardening vehicle to travel in the desired manner. Specifically, when the deflection identifier identifies that the steering lever is in the first forward position, the corresponding drive wheel travels forward at the maximum speed; when the deflection identifier identifies that the steering lever is in the middle position, the corresponding drive wheel does not rotate; when the deflection identifier identifies that the steering lever is in the second reverse position, the corresponding drive wheel travels backward at the maximum speed. And the maximum speed of the forward movement is not necessarily equal to the maximum speed of the backward movement.

[0138] Further, refer to the attached Figure 4 , which shows a functional module schematic diagram of the unlocking solution of the gardening vehicle under one embodiment of the present disclosure. The gardening vehicle includes: a controller system and an unlocker. The unlocker includes an input unit and an unlock detection unit. The unlock detection unit communicates with the controller system. The input unit can communicate with the unlock detection unit by communicating with the controller system; alternatively, the input unit can also directly communicate with the unlock detection unit.

[0139] The input unit is adapted to allow a user to input information to be verified. In some embodiments, the input unit may be implemented as a password input device, such as a keyboard, etc., to input a password as the verification information. In some embodiments, the input unit may be implemented to input biometric information as the information to be verified. The biometric information may include one or more combinations of face, finger / palm print, iris, voiceprint, etc. As a corresponding example, the input unit may be implemented as an image acquisition device, such as a camera, etc., which can be used to acquire biometric information such as face, finger / palm print, finger / palm vein, iris, voiceprint, etc. As a corresponding example, the input unit may be implemented as a finger / palm print sensor for acquiring biometric information of finger / palm print. As a corresponding example, the input unit may be implemented as a recording device, such as a voice acquisition device, etc., to input a sound signal for extracting voiceprint information and verification.

[0140] In some other embodiments, when the input unit is a graphic acquisition device, it can also acquire preset image information as the information to be verified, such as barcodes, QR codes, etc. When the user uses a device carried with him / her to display the corresponding image, the input unit can also pass the verification and enable the vehicle to enter a certain unlocking state.

[0141] In some optional embodiments, the input unit is configured as a hand password unit that allows a user to input information to be verified by hand when sitting on seat 5.

[0142] Specifically, in some optional embodiments, the hand password unit is configured as any one of a physical keyboard and / or a virtual keyboard and / or a fingerprint recognition unit and / or a palm print recognition unit and / or a finger vein recognition unit and / or a palm vein recognition unit.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, the input unit is configured as a head password recognition unit that allows a user to input information to be verified by head when sitting on seat 5.

[0144] Specifically, in some optional embodiments, the head password recognition unit is configured as any one of a face recognition unit and / or an iris recognition unit and / or a voiceprint recognition unit.

[0145] In some embodiments, the information to be verified may also be implemented as some other specific signals. As a corresponding example, the input unit may be implemented as a device having one or more communication circuits such as near field communication (NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth, etc., which is provided on the multi-functional work vehicle for communicating and interacting with an external terminal device to receive and verify the information to be verified (which may be a specific code). In possible embodiments, the external terminal device may be, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, or a dedicated terminal integrating only one of the communication circuits, such as a remote control key, etc.

[0146] In some embodiments, referring to the attached Figure 14 , the unlocking detection unit includes a data management module, a storage module, and a data verification module. The storage module is used to store the preset information to be verified and the corresponding relationship between the information to be verified and the unlocking state. Further, the storage module may be implemented as a random access memory (RAM), a flash memory (Flash ram), a read-only memory (Rom), a cache (Cache), or other storage media.

[0147] The data management module is used to manage the preset information to be verified in the storage module, such as the addition, deletion of the preset information to be verified, and the corresponding relationship between each preset information to be verified and the unlocking state, etc. Further, the data management module may be implemented by a hardware circuit, a software program, or a combination thereof.

[0148] The data verification module is used to verify the information to be verified input by the input unit and the preset information to be verified. When the data verification module passes the verification of the input information to be verified and one of the preset information to be verified, it sends the corresponding unlocking state information to the controller system or the battery management system, so that the vehicle enters the corresponding unlocking state.

[0149] Referring to the attached Figure 5 , the input unit includes a button configured on the steering column. The user inputs the information to be verified through the operation sequence of the button; when at least one of the function mechanisms can be activated, the button is used as a control part for controlling the change of the function state of the corresponding function mechanism. That is, when unlocking the vehicle through the button, the button is used as a device for inputting a password as the information to be verified; and when entering the corresponding unlocking state, the above button is used as a control part for controlling the function state change of some of the function mechanisms.

[0150] Referring to the attached Figure 15, the input unit in this embodiment is configured as a keyboard. The data verification module is configured as a password verification module. The storage module is used for preset passwords to be verified and the corresponding relationship between the passwords to be verified and the unlocking status. The data management module is configured as a password management module for managing the preset passwords to be verified in the storage module, such as adding, deleting the preset passwords to be verified, and the corresponding relationship between each preset password to be verified and the unlocking status, etc.

[0151] In one optional example, referring to the attached Figure 6 , the input unit is implemented as a touch screen configured on the control handle 4. The touch screen can display a virtual keyboard for the user to type in the password. The above touch screen can also be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint recognition module for recognizing the fingerprint of the finger placed on the touch screen by the user. In other embodiments, the input unit can also be implemented as physical buttons configured on the control handle 4 for the user to type in the password.

[0152] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is implemented as a display screen configured on the control handle 4. The display screen is configured with a physical keyboard and / or a virtual keyboard, and the user inputs the information to be verified through the virtual keyboard and / or the physical keyboard.

[0153] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is implemented as a display screen configured on the control handle 4. The display screen is configured with an in-screen fingerprint recognition module, and the user inputs the information to be verified to the input unit by placing the finger on the display screen.

[0154] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is implemented as a display screen configured on the control handle 4 and can be held by the user. The display screen is configured with an in-screen palmprint recognition module, and when the user holds the display screen, the palmprint can be input to the input unit as the information to be verified.

[0155] In one optional example, referring to the attached Figure 5 、 attached Figure 6 , the button for inputting the password as the information to be verified is defined as a physical button, and it can also be a virtual button on the touch screen. Further, the password as the information to be verified should not be limited to the characters directly typed by the user. It can also include the user sliding to a specified position on the touch screen according to the prompt, connecting several specific graphics on the touch screen, etc. Since the above operations can be translated into password messages, they should all be understood as inputting the information to be verified through the button.

[0156] In this embodiment, taking the password typed by the user as the information to be verified, during the process of the user inputting the password, the user does not need to bend down or significantly deflect the head. The visible range of the eyes is not significantly different from the normal driving state. Even the user can observe the situation around the vehicle with peripheral vision, so that the situation around the vehicle can be observed in time, further reducing the safety risk.

[0157] In one optional example, the input unit is configured as an image acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4. The image acquisition device can acquire images of the user's face, iris, finger / palm vein patterns, or other preset images, etc.

[0158] In one specific optional embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 7 , the input unit is configured as an image acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4 and capable of performing face recognition. The two straight lines radiating outward from the control handle 4 in the figure represent the recognition boundaries of the corresponding image acquisition device, that is, the two straight lines and the arcs at their ends together form the effective recognition area for face recognition. As shown in the figure, when the user is sitting in the gardening vehicle, their face should fall within the above effective recognition range, so as to input face information to the input unit.

[0159] In one specific optional embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 8 , a display screen and an image acquisition device are configured on the control handle 4. The display screen is used to prompt the user that the current state is face recognition; in addition, it can also display information such as the unlocking state.

[0160] In one specific optional embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 9 , the input unit is configured as an image acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4 and capable of performing iris recognition. The two straight lines radiating outward from the control handle 4 in the figure represent the recognition boundaries of the corresponding image acquisition device, that is, the two straight lines and the arcs at their ends together form the effective recognition area for iris recognition. As shown in the figure, when the user is sitting in the gardening vehicle, their eyes should fall within the above effective recognition range, so as to input iris information to the input unit.

[0161] In one specific optional embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 10 , a display screen and an image acquisition device are configured on the control handle 4. The display screen is used to prompt the user that the current state is iris recognition; in addition, it can also display information such as the unlocking state.

[0162] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is configured as an image acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4 and capable of performing finger / palm vein pattern recognition. When the user places their finger or palm at the recognition position of the image acquisition device, effective recognition can be performed, so as to input the required information to be verified to the input device.

[0163] Referring to the attached Figure 16, in this embodiment, the input unit is configured as a fingerprint sensor. The data verification module is configured as a fingerprint verification module, and the storage module is used for storing preset fingerprints to be verified and the corresponding relationship between the fingerprints to be verified and the unlocking states. The data management module is configured as a fingerprint management module for managing the preset fingerprints to be verified stored in the storage module, such as adding, deleting the preset fingerprints to be verified and the corresponding relationship between each preset fingerprint to be verified and the unlocking state, etc.

[0164] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is configured as an image acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4. The user can display other preset pictures or texts to the image acquisition device to input the required information to be verified to the input device. The above-mentioned preset pictures or texts include information such as two-dimensional codes. When the user temporarily authorizes someone with an unlocking state, the temporary authorization can be achieved by providing the corresponding two-dimensional code information.

[0165] In one specific optional embodiment, the input unit is configured as a two-dimensional code recognition unit disposed on the control handle 4. The two-dimensional code recognition unit can recognize graphics such as two-dimensional codes and barcodes that store information through specific coding methods. The user can display graphics such as two-dimensional codes and barcodes to the image acquisition device to input the required information to be verified to the input device.

[0166] In another optional embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 11 , the input unit is configured as a voice acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4. The voice acquisition device can collect the user's voiceprint or other preset voice information. The dotted circle centered on the control handle 4 in the figure represents the effective recognition range of the voice acquisition device. As shown in the figure, when the user is riding in the garden vehicle, his head should fall within the above-mentioned effective recognition range, so as to input voice information to the input unit.

[0167] Referring to the appendix Figure 17 , in this embodiment, the input unit is configured as a voiceprint sensor. The data verification module is configured as a voiceprint verification module, and the storage module is used for storing preset voiceprints to be verified and the corresponding relationship between the voiceprints to be verified and the unlocking states. The data management module is configured as a voiceprint management module for managing the preset voiceprints to be verified stored in the storage module, such as adding, deleting the preset voiceprints to be verified and the corresponding relationship between each preset voiceprint to be verified and the unlocking state, etc.

[0168] Furthermore, it should be understood that: the voice information that the voice acquisition device can collect can not only be processed to obtain voiceprint information, but also be processed to obtain statement information. This statement information can contain instructions for making the garden vehicle enter a specified unlocking state, and is used to control the garden vehicle to enter the unlocking state expected by the user.

[0169] In another alternative embodiment, the input unit is configured as a fingerprint acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4. The fingerprint acquisition device can acquire the fingerprint of the user to input the information to be verified into the input unit.

[0170] In another alternative embodiment, the input unit is configured as a palmprint acquisition device disposed on the control handle 4. The palmprint acquisition device can acquire the palmprint of the user to input the information to be verified into the input unit. Further, the palmprint acquisition device for identifying the user's palmprint can be disposed on the gripping portion of the control handle 4 for the user to hold. When the user holds the gripping portion, the palmprint acquisition device can directly obtain the palmprint information.

[0171] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , the garden vehicle in this embodiment includes a seat 5 for the user to sit on, and the seat 5 is disposed on the vehicle frame 1. The input unit is disposed at the control handle 4, and the input unit inclines upward and points to the upper side position of the seat 5 when the steering rod is in the middle position. Further, since the control handle 4 is closer to the user's face when sitting on the seat 5, when the face information of the user is collected and the unlocking state information is displayed to the user through the display screen at the handle, the user's head does not need to make any additional movement or torsion; in addition, when the user's hand is required to participate in unlocking, its position closer to the front of the user is also more convenient for the user to operate.

[0172] Furthermore, the steering rod includes a gripping portion for the user to hold, and the input unit is disposed on the side where the thumb is located when the user holds the corresponding gripping portion. That is, when the user normally controls the garden vehicle, the hand should maintain the state of holding the control handle 4. In this state, the thumb can easily operate the input unit, and the operation is more convenient; and after unlocking, the vehicle can also be directly controlled through the handle without the user moving the hand. It can effectively avoid the risk situation caused by the hand not holding the control handle 4 during unlocking.

[0173] In some of the embodiments, the input unit uses the above biometric information as the information to be verified. When the technical solutions of collecting the user's face, iris, and voiceprint information as the information to be verified, the hand can completely maintain the normal operation state, which is completely no different from normal driving and has extremely high safety performance.

[0174] In some of the embodiments, the input unit uses information such as finger / palmprint, finger / palm vein of the hand as the information to be verified. The user hardly needs to look at the input unit and can keep observing the surroundings of the vehicle, which is no different from normal driving and has extremely high safety performance.

[0175] In some embodiments, the user inputs a password, fingerprint, or finger vein pattern as the information to be verified into the vehicle by using the thumb. During this process, the user always holds the control handle 4. Moreover, the operation of the active steering component is mostly achieved by the palm holding it. Therefore, actions such as thumb movement for inputting the information to be verified will not affect the driving safety performance, which relatively improves the driving safety performance.

[0176] The control handle 4 is located on the side of the steering rod away from the vehicle. Refer to the attached Figure 1 Attachments Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the input unit is arranged on the control handle 4 and is inclined towards the upper rear of the vehicle. Specifically, when the input unit is in the middle position along with the steering rod, it is inclined towards the upper rear of the vehicle, and the angle between it and the horizontal plane is 30° - 60°. The straight line b in the figure is in the horizontal plane where the input unit is located, the straight line d is the vertical line where the input unit is located, the dotted line a in the figure is the orientation of the input unit, and the angle α is the angle between the dotted line a and the straight line b, which is the above-mentioned 30° - 60°.

[0177] When a normal adult sits on the seat 5, their eyes are within this angular range, enabling the input unit to better collect the user's face information. In addition, the control handle 4 also rotates back and forth around the first axis along with the steering rod. In this angular range, the display screen of the control handle 4 is in a state that is almost easy to be observed by the user in almost all position states.

[0178] Furthermore, in an alternative embodiment, the angle α between the orientation of the input unit and the horizontal plane when the steering rod is in the middle position is 40° - 50°. After measurement, when more users of the gardening vehicle sit on the seat 5, their eyes are within the angular range of the above-mentioned input unit. A small number of users with slightly larger height differences can adjust their eyes to the above position through the seat 5 lifting device to obtain a better user experience.

[0179] With the above configuration of the positional relationship, the input unit of the vehicle in this embodiment can better adapt to almost all body types of users, enabling almost all body types of users to quickly input the information to be verified into the input unit.

[0180] In an alternative embodiment, a display screen is arranged at the control handle 4. In addition to being implemented as the above-mentioned input unit, this display screen can also show other information to the user, such as indicating that the gardening vehicle is currently unlocked or in a certain unlocking state, or reminding the user that the current password input is incorrect, or other vehicle state information such as battery power.

[0181] In an alternative embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 12, the multi-functional garden vehicle includes a seat 5 for carrying a user. The seat 5 includes a seat and a backrest. The straight line e in the figure is the vertical line where the backrest is located, and the straight line c is the horizontal line where the seat is located.

[0182] The distance between the input unit and the backrest in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is 400 mm to 800 mm, that is Figure 12 the distance between the straight line d and the straight line e in is 400 mm to 800 mm; the distance between the input unit and the seat in the up-down direction is 300 mm to 700 mm, that is Figure 12 the distance between the straight line b and the straight line c in is 300 mm to 700 mm. In the above positional relationship, the user sitting on the seat 5 can input various information to be verified to the input unit relatively more comfortably.

[0183] In one optional embodiment, the steering rod includes a left steering rod and a right steering rod respectively controlled by the two hands of the user. The left steering rod and the right steering rod are respectively used to control the rotation of the drive wheels on the corresponding side; the left steering rod and the right steering rod are both configured with input units. When the input units of the left steering rod and the right steering rod are both input with information to be verified that can pass the unlocking detection unit, at least one of the function components can be activated and drive the drive wheels to rotate.

[0184] Specifically, when the input units of the left steering rod and the right steering rod are both input with information to be verified that can pass the unlocking detection unit, the traveling component is in a state that can be activated. In other words, when a single steering rod is input with information to be verified that can pass the unlocking detection unit, the garden vehicle cannot enter the unlocking state where the traveling component can be activated. Thereby realizing the identification of the user: when and only when both hands of the user can control the steering rod, the vehicle can start and drive, avoiding the safety risk caused by the user operating with one hand. That is, the use safety of the product is improved.

[0185] In another optional embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 13 , the input unit may further include a wireless receiver wirelessly connected to the cloud. In this embodiment, when a user in a different place needs to temporarily authorize a person near the vehicle, the information to be verified can be sent to the cloud through devices such as mobile phones and computers. The information to be verified is sent to the input unit by the cloud, so that the vehicle enters the corresponding unlocking state, thereby realizing the temporary authorization of the person near the vehicle. This scenario is applied when the owner of the garden vehicle is in a different place and there is a special situation that requires the garden vehicle to be controlled or unlocked.

[0186] In another optional embodiment, referring to the appendix Figure 3, the unlocking detection unit of this embodiment is not directly coupled to the controller system. Instead, the unlocking detection unit is directly coupled to the battery management system, which is used to directly manage the power supply on and off of the functional mechanism. For example, in the unlocking state where only the walking component can be activated, the battery management system disconnects the power supply of functional mechanisms such as the garden operation components.

[0187] Furthermore, in another alternative embodiment, the battery management system can also be used only as a signal transmission port. The signal of the unlocking detection unit is sent to the vehicle controller in the controller system through the battery management system, and then the vehicle controller sends a control signal to the sub-controller. All of the above should be included in the protection scope of this application.

[0188] In another alternative embodiment, the garden vehicle is configured with the above-mentioned display screen. When the garden is not in any of the unlocking states and the vehicle is being manipulated, the display screen shows Figure 22 the interface as shown, and this interface shows a locking floating window, which is used to inform the user that the current state is locked and the vehicle cannot be manipulated until it is unlocked.

[0189] In another alternative embodiment, when the garden vehicle is in one of the unlocking states and the user manipulates a functional component that cannot be activated in the unlocking state, the display screen at this time shows Figure 22 the interface as shown, and this interface shows a locking floating window, which is used to inform the user that the currently manipulated functional mechanism is in a locked state and the corresponding functional mechanism cannot be manipulated until it is unlocked.

[0190] In another alternative embodiment, when the garden vehicle is not in any of the unlocking states, the input unit of the unlocker is always in a working state, that is, the user can input the information to be verified into the input unit at any time without additional operations, and the garden vehicle can enter the corresponding unlocking state, so as to quickly start and use the garden vehicle, especially the unlocking methods using finger / palm print, password, etc. as the information to be verified.

[0191] In another alternative embodiment, when the garden vehicle is not in any of the unlocking states, the input unit of the unlocker defaults to a silent state and does not actively collect information to avoid collecting the user's privacy information, especially the unlocking methods using image acquisition devices, voiceprint sensors, etc. as the input unit; the garden vehicles of these embodiments are configured with a switch to power on the unlocker. When the power system 6 supplies power to the unlocker when the switch is triggered, the input unit starts to work at this time, and the user can input the information to be verified into the input unit. In this embodiment, the user information is not collected at any time, thus effectively protecting the user's privacy.

[0192] In another alternative embodiment, refer to Appendix Figure 18 and Appendix Figure 19, the active steering component of the garden vehicle is configured as a steering wheel structure. The steering wheel includes a control handle 4 that is for the user to hold and has an annular structure. On the control handle 4, there are manipulation parts for manipulating at least one functional mechanism to cause a change in the functional state. When the user normally holds the control handle 4 of the steering wheel, the manipulation parts are close to the user's thumb.

[0193] In one optional embodiment, the input unit of the unlocker is configured in the steering wheel structure. When the input unit is input with the information to be verified by the user, at least one functional mechanism of the multi-functional garden vehicle can be activated.
