When the operator installs the gardening tool base station, connecting one end of the surrounding wire to the quick-connect terminal can form a loop between the functional module and the surrounding wire. When the gardening tool base station is powered on, the surrounding wire can generate and send a surrounding wire boundary signal for framing the operation area of the gardening tool, reducing the operation difficulty of the operator and improving the operation experience of the operator.

[0018] 2. One end of the receiving cavity is open, a limiting structure for limiting the quick-connect terminal is arranged in the receiving cavity, and a cavity cover is covered on the open end of the receiving cavity. With such a setting, the quick-connect terminal is limited in the limiting structure of the receiving cavity, and the quick-connect terminal can be better received in the receiving cavity; at the same time, in order to facilitate the operation of the operator, the volume of the receiving cavity is larger than the volume of the quick-connect terminal. During the transportation process of the gardening tool base station, the limiting structure can prevent the quick-connect terminal from being separated from the limiting groove and colliding with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity due to the shaking and bumping during the transportation process; a cavity cover is covered on the open end of the receiving cavity, which is also beneficial to protecting the quick-connect terminal in the receiving cavity and preventing it from being impacted by external objects during transportation or use.

[0019] 3. The limiting structure includes a plurality of limiting ribs protruding from the bottom surface of the receiving cavity, and the plurality of limiting ribs enclose a limiting groove with an open upper end and a front end. The quick-connect terminal is placed in the limiting groove. The limiting structure further includes a limiting block that stops at the front end of the limiting groove. Wiring holes are arranged at both the front and rear ends of the quick-connect terminal. The limiting block and the limiting rib arranged at the rear end of the quick-connect terminal are lower than the lower edge of the wiring hole. With such a setting, during wiring, the limiting structure will not interfere with the surrounding wire, which is convenient for wiring the surrounding wire and the wiring terminal.

[0020] 4. The limiting structure further includes a top limiting member. The top limiting member includes a connecting portion and a stopping portion. The connecting portion is formed by extending upward from one end of the limiting rib, and the stopping portion extends from the upper end of the connecting portion toward the quick-connect terminal to stop at the upper end of the quick-connect terminal. An avoidance hole corresponding to the stopping portion is provided on the bottom surface; or, a positioning hole is provided on the bottom surface, one end of the connecting portion is clamped in the positioning hole, and the stopping portion is provided at one end of the connecting end away from the positioning hole and extends toward the quick-connect terminal to stop at the upper end of the quick-connect terminal.

[0021] 5. A hollowed-out portion is provided on the bottom surface. The free end of the limiting block is arranged in the hollowed-out portion, and at least part of the free end protrudes from the hollowed-out portion. The fixed end of the limiting block is integrally formed on the wall of the hollowed-out portion. The fixed end is far from the limiting groove, and the free end is close to the limiting groove to stop the quick-connect terminal. With such a setting, the limiting block forms a cantilever structure. By pressing the free end, the free end protruding from the hollowed-out portion can sink into the hollowed-out portion, and the quick-connect terminal can be taken out from the limiting groove, improving the operation convenience for the operator to replace the quick-connect terminal.

[0022] 6. The limiting block includes a transition end connected between the free end and the fixed end. The distance that the free end protrudes from the bottom surface is greater than that of the fixed end. The transition end gradually transitions from the free end to the fixed end. Due to the existence of the top limiting member, when inserting the quick-connect terminal into the limiting groove, the limiting block needs to be pressed down to insert the quick-connect terminal into the limiting groove. By providing a transition end between the free end and the fixed end, when the operator slides the quick-connect terminal toward the limiting groove, the quick-connect terminal acts on the transition end to press down the free end, so that there is no need to manually press the limiting block, and the installation of the quick-connect terminal is easier, improving the operation convenience for the operator to install and replace the quick-connect terminal.

[0023] 7. The housing is provided with a storage portion. A storage cavity is formed in the storage portion.

With such a setting, both ends of the surrounding wire are connected to the functional module through quick-connect terminals, further reducing the operation difficulty of the operator and further improving the wiring stability of the surrounding wire; furthermore, since the surrounding wire is usually buried underground, the wiring grooves extend from the bottom of the housing into the storage cavity, and the surrounding wire can enter the storage cavity through the wiring grooves to avoid the surrounding wire being exposed and possibly damaged, and the wiring grooves can protect the surrounding wire entering the garden tool base station, avoiding the surrounding wire being damaged when the operator installs and positions the garden tool base station.

[0024] 8. The cavity further includes a second cavity formed between the fixed base and the rear cover. The fixed base is provided with a wire-winding post disposed in the upper part of the second cavity. With this arrangement, during the transportation of the garden tool base station, the power cord can be wound around the wire-winding post to avoid damage caused by poor storage of the power cord. At the same time, since the wire-winding post is disposed in the upper part of the second cavity, space is reserved in the lower part of the second cavity. During the transportation of the garden tool base station, the adapter can be placed in the lower part of the second cavity, thus playing a role in protecting the adapter.

[0025] 9. Receiving portions are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the parking plate. A receiving cavity is formed in the receiving portion.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a garden tool base station proposed in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 100 and a functional module. The housing 100 includes a base 130. A cavity 160 is provided on the base 130, and the functional module is received in the cavity 160. A receiving cavity 111 for receiving the quick-connect terminal 200 is also provided on the base 130. The functional module and an external perimeter wire are electrically connected through the quick-connect terminal 200, and the functional module sends a boundary signal to the outside through the perimeter wire.

[0043] With such a setting, one end of the quick-connect terminal 200 connected to the functional module can be pre-installed by the assembly personnel before leaving the factory. When the operator installs the garden tool base station, connecting one end of the perimeter wire to the quick-connect terminal 200 can form a loop between the functional module and the perimeter wire. When the garden tool base station is powered on, the perimeter wire boundary signal for framing the operation area of the garden tool can be generated and sent through the perimeter wire, reducing the operation difficulty of the operator and improving the operation experience of the operator.

[0044] Among them, the functional module includes a circuit board 300, and a perimeter wire signal sending module is integrated on the circuit board 300.

[0045] Among them, the quick-connect terminal 200 is provided with a wiring hole 210 for connecting the perimeter wire, and the wiring hole 210 is provided with a self-locking structure to lock the perimeter wire inserted into the wiring hole 210.

[0046] In one embodiment, the self-locking structure includes a spring piece and a pressing plate. There is a gap between the spring piece and the wiring hole 210, and the gap gradually increases in the direction from the inside to the outside of the wiring hole 210. When the perimeter wire is inserted into the wiring hole 210, the perimeter wire pushes the spring piece upward. When the perimeter wire stops being inserted, the spring piece presses the perimeter wire tightly in the wiring hole. When pulling out the perimeter wire outward, the pulling of the perimeter wire makes the gap between the spring piece and the wiring hole 210 decrease, and the spring piece presses the perimeter wire more tightly, thus preventing the perimeter wire from being pulled out. The self-locking structure also includes an unlocking part. Pressing the unlocking part makes the spring piece move upward, so that the perimeter wire can be pulled out.

[0047] In another embodiment, the self-locking mechanism includes a pressing piece and a locking portion. The pressing piece is disposed in the wiring hole 210. The locking portion is toggled to increase the gap between the pressing piece and the wiring hole 210, and the wire harness can be inserted into the wiring hole 210. After the wire harness is inserted in place, the locking portion is pressed to make the pressing piece press against the wire harness, and it is difficult to pull out the wire harness.

[0048] With such a setting, the quick-connect terminal 200 can stably press the wire harness, avoiding the problem of loose wiring that may be caused by manual wiring.

[0049] Wherein, a receiving portion 110 is provided on the housing 100, and a receiving cavity 111 is formed in the receiving portion 110.

[0050] Preferably in this embodiment, one end of the receiving cavity 111 is open, a limiting structure 120 for limiting the quick-connect terminal 200 is provided in the receiving cavity 111, and a cavity cover 170 is covered on the open end of the receiving cavity 111.

[0051] With such a setting, the quick-connect terminal 200 is limited in the limiting structure 120 of the receiving cavity 111, and the quick-connect terminal 200 can be better received in the receiving cavity 111; at the same time, for the convenience of operation of the operator, the volume of the receiving cavity 111 is larger than the volume of the quick-connect terminal 200. During the transportation of the garden tool base station, the limiting structure 120 can prevent the quick-connect terminal 200 from colliding with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 111 due to the shaking and bumping during transportation; a cavity cover 170 is covered on the open end of the receiving cavity 111, which is also beneficial to protecting the quick-connect terminal 200 in the receiving cavity 111 and preventing it from being impacted by external objects during transportation or use.

[0052] More preferably in this embodiment, the limiting structure 120 includes a plurality of limiting members protruding from the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 111. The plurality of limiting members enclose a limiting groove 123 with an open upper end and a front end. The quick-connect terminal 200 is placed in the limiting groove 123. The limiting structure 120 further includes a limiting block 122 blocking the front end of the limiting groove 123. Wiring holes 210 are provided at the front and rear ends of the quick-connect terminal 200. The limiting block 122 and the limiting rib 121 provided at the rear end of the quick-connect terminal 200 are lower than the lower edge of the wiring hole 210.

[0053] With such a setting, during wiring, the limiting structure 120 will not interfere with the wire harness, facilitating the wiring of the wire harness and the wiring terminal 200.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the limiting structure 120 may also be a limiting space formed by the inner concave of the bottom surface or the side surface of the receiving cavity 111, and the quick-connect terminal is limited in this limiting space.

[0055] In another preferred embodiment, the storage part 110 includes a left storage part 110 disposed on the left side of the base 130 and a right storage part 110 disposed on the right side of the base 130. Wiring grooves 180 are provided on both sides of the housing 100, and the wiring grooves 180 extend from the bottom of the housing 100 into the storage cavity 111.

[0056] With this arrangement, both ends of the enclosure wire are connected to the functional module through the quick-connect terminals 200, further reducing the operation difficulty of the operator and further improving the wiring stability of the enclosure wire. Moreover, since the enclosure wire is usually buried underground and the wiring groove 180 extends from the bottom of the housing 100 into the storage cavity 111, the enclosure wire can enter the storage cavity 111 through the wiring groove 180 to prevent the enclosure wire from being exposed and possibly damaged, and the wiring groove 180 can protect the enclosure wire entering the garden tool base station to avoid damage to the enclosure wire caused by the operator when installing and positioning the garden tool base station.

[0057] Embodiment Two:

[0058] Based on Embodiment One, as Figures 4 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, the limiting structure 120 further includes a top limiting member 124, and the top limiting member 124 includes a connecting portion 1241 and a stopping portion 1242.

[0059] In one embodiment, the top limiting member 124 and the limiting rib 121 are integrally formed. Specifically, the connecting portion 1241 extends upward from one end of the limiting rib 121, and the stopping portion 1242 extends from the upper end of the connecting portion 1241 toward the quick-connect terminal 200 to stop at the upper end of the quick-connect terminal 200.

[0060] Among them, an avoidance hole corresponding to the stopping portion 1242 is provided on the bottom surface. The housing 100 is formed by plastic injection molding. By opening an avoidance hole on the bottom surface, the mold part for forming the top limiting member 124 does not need to be additionally provided with a core-pulling slider for filling the limiting groove 123. The parts on both sides of the top limiting member 124 are filled by the upper mold of the mold, and the parts below the top limiting member 124 are filled by the lower mold of the mold, thereby saving the design and production costs of the mold and further reducing the cost of the garden tool base station.

[0061] In another embodiment, the top limiting member 124 is separately provided, a positioning hole is provided on the bottom surface, one end of the connecting portion 1241 is clamped in the positioning hole, and the stopping portion 1242 is provided at the end of the connecting portion 1241 away from the positioning hole and extends toward the quick-connect terminal 200 to stop at the upper end of the quick-connect terminal 200.

[0062] By providing the top limiting member 124 that stops at the upper end of the quick-connect terminal 200, the quick-connect terminal 200 can be better limited in the limiting groove 123, further preventing the quick-connect terminal 200 from detaching from the limiting groove 123 during the transportation of the garden tool base station.

[0063] Preferably, in this embodiment, a hollowed-out portion 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the storage cavity 111. The free end 1221 of the limiting stop 122 is disposed in the hollowed-out portion 112, and at least a part of the free end 1221 protrudes from the hollowed-out portion 112. The fixed end 1222 of the limiting stop 122 is integrally formed on the wall of the hollowed-out portion 112. The fixed end 1222 is disposed at one end of the limiting stop 122 away from the limiting groove 123, and the free end 1221 is disposed at one end of the limiting stop 122 close to the limiting groove 123 to stop the quick-connect terminal 200.

[0064] With such a setting, the limiting stop 122 forms a cantilever structure. By pressing the free end 1221, the free end 1221 protruding from the hollowed-out portion 112 can sink into the hollowed-out portion 112, and the quick-connect terminal 200 can be taken out from the limiting groove 123, improving the operation convenience when the operator replaces the quick-connect terminal 200.

[0065] Further preferably, in this embodiment, the limiting stop 122 includes a transition end 1223 connected between the free end 1221 and the fixed end 1222. The distance by which the free end 1221 protrudes from the bottom surface is greater than the distance by which the fixed portion protrudes. The transition end 1223 gradually transitions from the free end 1221 to the fixed end 1222.

[0066] Due to the presence of the top limiting member 124, when the quick-connect terminal 200 is inserted into the limiting groove 123, the limiting stop 122 needs to be pressed down to insert the quick-connect terminal 200 into the limiting groove 123. By providing a transition end 1223 between the free end 1221 and the fixed end 1222, when the operator slides the quick-connect terminal 200 towards the limiting groove 123, the quick-connect terminal 200 acts on the transition end 1223 to press down the free end 1221, so that it is not necessary to manually press the limiting stop 122, and the installation of the quick-connect terminal 200 is easier, improving the operation convenience when the operator installs and replaces the quick-connect terminal 200.

[0067] Embodiment Three:

[0068] Based on Embodiments One and Two, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 100 further includes a fixing base 140 and a rear cover 150. The fixing base 140 is installed at the rear side of the base 130, and the rear cover 150 is detachably covered on the rear end of the base 130 to cover the fixing base 140. The accommodation cavity 160 includes a first accommodation cavity 161, and the first accommodation cavity 161 is provided between the base 130 and the fixing base 140. The functional module is placed in the first accommodation cavity 161 and installed on the fixing base 140. The functional module further includes a charging terminal 310 for charging the gardening tool. One end of the charging terminal 310 passes through the base 130. The base 130 includes a parking plate 131, and the parking plate 131 is used for parking the gardening tool.

[0069] Among them, a charging module is also integrated on the circuit board 300, and the charging terminal 310 is electrically connected to the charging module. The functional module further includes a power cord, an adapter, a switch module, etc.

[0070] In one embodiment, the charging terminal 310 is insulated and limited on the housing 100 through an insulating bushing 400. The insulating bushing 400 includes a first bushing 410 and a second bushing 420. A first positioning hole 132 is provided on the base 130, and the first positioning hole 132 and the first bushing 410 are keyway-mated for positioning.

[0071] The insulating bushing 400 is preferably made of a high-temperature resistant insulating material, such as nylon reinforced with glass fiber, and is formed by injection molding.

[0072] The charging terminal 310 is positioned on the gardening tool base station through the first bushing 410 and the second bushing 420 in cooperation with the housing 100. On the one hand, the installation of the charging terminal 310 is more stable, and the charging terminal 310 is not prone to looseness even when it is in long-term contact with the gardening tool, improving the durability of the gardening tool base station; on the other hand, the risk of electric leakage of the charging terminal 310 through the housing 100 during use is reduced or avoided, improving the safety of the gardening tool base station; furthermore, the insulating bushing 400 is made of a high-temperature resistant insulating material. When the charging terminal 310 is short-circuited and generates high temperature, it prevents the high temperature of the charging terminal 310 from being transmitted to the base 130 and the fixing base 140, thereby reducing or avoiding the occurrence of combustion caused by the high temperature of the housing 100 of the gardening tool base station due to the short circuit of the charging terminal 310.

[0073] In one embodiment, the circuit board 300 is electrically connected to an external wire through a terminal block 320. The external wire may be a power cord connected to an adapter, or a connection wire connected to the quick-connect terminal 200 for transmitting a boundary signal. The terminal block 320 is provided with an insulating housing 321. The material of the insulating housing 321 is preferably a high temperature resistant insulating material, such as nylon plus glass fiber. The terminal block 320 is provided with an opening for a pin 322 to pass through, and the external wire is electrically connected to the circuit board 300 through the pin 322.

[0074] By providing the connection terminal 320, the connection method between the external wire and the circuit board 300 is simplified, and the operation of the operator is optimized; at the same time, an insulating shell 321 is provided on the connection terminal 320 to reduce or avoid the occurrence of leakage at the position of the connection terminal 320; furthermore, the insulating shell 321 is made of high-temperature resistant insulating material to avoid the high temperature during short circuit being transmitted to the shell 100 and causing combustion.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the cavity 160 further includes a second cavity 162 . The second cavity 162 is formed between the fixing seat 140 and the rear cover 150 . The fixing seat 140 is provided with a winding post 141 . The winding post 141 is disposed at an upper portion of the second cavity 162 .

[0076] With such arrangement, during the transportation of the garden tool base station, the power cord can be wound around the winding post 141 to prevent the power cord from being damaged due to poor storage. At the same time, the winding post 141 is arranged at the upper part of the second cavity 162, and space is reserved at the lower part of the second cavity 162. During the transportation of the garden tool base station, the adapter can be placed at the lower part of the second cavity 162, thereby protecting the adapter.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, a buckle 151 is provided on the rear cover 150 , and the rear cover 150 is detachably buckled to the rear end of the front shell body through the buckle 151 .

[0078] In another preferred embodiment, storage portions 110 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the parking plate 131, and the two storage portions 110 guide the direction in which the gardening tools enter the parking plate 131. The storage portion 110 includes a limiting portion 113 and a guiding portion 114. The limiting portion 113 is limited to the outside of the walking mechanism of the gardening tool, and the guiding portion 114 is formed by gradually extending outward from one end of the limiting portion 113 in the direction away from the gardening tool entering.

[0079] In this way, the storage portion 110 is used to guide the gardening tools into the gardening tool base station, thereby avoiding the need to additionally provide a guide portion 114 to increase the design and production costs of the gardening tool base station.

[0080] More preferably, in this embodiment, a guiding protrusion 1311 is further provided on the parking plate 131. The guiding protrusion 1311 is arranged between the two storage parts 110 and gradually extends outward in the direction of the entry of the gardening tool.

[0081] With such a setting, the guiding protrusion 1311 and the storage part 110 cooperate to guide the wheels of the gardening tool together. A flared shape is formed between the guiding part 114 and the guiding protrusion 1311. On the one hand, the adaptability can be increased, making it easier for the wheels to enter between the two. On the other hand, the flared shape is conducive to guiding the wheels to the correct position faster, so that the gardening tool can enter the gardening tool base station for charging faster. At the same time, the length of the base 130 can be correspondingly shortened, thereby reducing the amount of materials used and lowering the cost.

[0082] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
