Detailed description of the specific implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will further describe the specific technical solutions of this application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application but are not used to limit the scope of this application.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0045] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, orientation terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components shown in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, which are used for relative description and clarification and can change accordingly with the change of the orientation of the components placed in the drawings.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "include", "comprise", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or device including such element.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, the self-moving device can be a lawn mowing device, and can also be a self-moving device such as a floor sweeper, a snow remover, a ball picker, etc. Correspondingly, the working component can also be an auxiliary watering device, a fertilizing device, a grass cutting device, etc. For example, when the self-moving device is a lawn mowing device, the working component can be a border trimming device, which can accurately trim the intersections of the edges of lawns, flower beds, fences, etc.

[0050] To improve the performance of a self - moving device, some functional components are usually set on the self - moving device, such as cameras, sensors, etc. At the same time, auxiliary working components are also added to the self - moving device. When the working components on the self - moving device are working, debris often splashes, and these debris may cause the functional components on the self - moving device to be contaminated, and even large debris may splash and collide with the functional components, resulting in damage to the functional components.

[0051] Exemplarily, the self - moving device can be a lawn mowing device. The use scenarios of lawn mowing devices are extensive and diverse, such as home gardens, park green spaces, golf courses, and various lawn maintenance sites, etc. When the lawn grows too long and affects aesthetics and daily activities, through the sharp blades and precise navigation system of the lawn mowing robot, the lawn can be automatically trimmed.

[0052] Before using the lawn mowing device to trim the lawn, it is necessary to set a working boundary for the lawn mowing device first. This working boundary can be established by laying a physical boundary line or through technologies such as satellite positioning to establish a virtual boundary. However, due to positioning accuracy reasons, whether establishing a physical boundary or a virtual boundary, when establishing the working boundary, enough margins need to be left on the lawn to prevent the lawn mowing device from crossing the working boundary, which will cause the body of the lawn mower to be unable to work in the edge area of the lawn. Therefore, an auxiliary working component for cutting the lawn edge can be added to the lawn mowing device, and this working component can cut plants outside the corresponding cutting range of the lawn mowing device.

[0053] To enrich the functions of the lawn mowing device, functional components such as cameras and sensors are often set on the lawn mowing device. However, when the lawn mowing device is working, especially when the working components for auxiliary operations set on the lawn mowing device are working, dust, flying debris and other debris often occur relative to the lawn mowing device. These debris may cause the functional components to be contaminated, and even debris such as stones and blades may splash and collide with the functional components, resulting in damage to the functional components.

[0054] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 16 Referring to

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 is detachably connected to the self - moving device 1. Among them, the detachable connection can adopt bolt connection. For example, corresponding threaded holes are provided on the self - moving device 1 and the working device 2, and the two are fastened together using bolts and nuts. Bolt connection can make the connection between the working device 2 and the self - moving device 1 firm and can withstand large stress and vibration. The detachable connection can also adopt snap connection, magnetic attraction connection, etc.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, when the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1, the protective member 3 protects the outside of the functional member 11. When the self - moving device 1 does not have the working device 2 installed, the possibility of the functional member 11 being contaminated and damaged is relatively small. At this time, the functional member 11 can be exposed and work; when the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1, since the working device 2 performs auxiliary operations on one side of the self - moving device 1, the possibility of the functional member 11 being contaminated and damaged is relatively large. Therefore, the protective member 3 is provided on the working device 2. When the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1, the protective member 3 is also installed and can protect the functional member 11.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 can be installed in any area on the self - moving device 1. According to the use environments of the self - moving device 1 and the working device 2, the position where the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1 can be adjusted. For example, referring to Figure 16 , when the self - moving device 1 is a mowing device, the working device 2 can be a trimming device. The trimming device is used to cut plants outside the cutting range of the mowing device. The lawn mower includes a self - movable lawn mower body 7, and the working device 2 can be installed on one side of the lawn mower body 7 along the traveling direction H of the lawn mower body 7. In this way, when the working device 2 is installed on the lawn mower body 7, the protective member 3 can protect the functional member 11 on the lawn mower body 7.

[0058] For the working component provided in the embodiments of the present application, since the working device 2 and the self - moving device 1 are detachably connected, the working device 2 has two states of installation and disassembly relative to the self - moving device 1, and the working device 2 can assist the self - moving device 1 in performing operations. Since the protective member 3 is provided on the working device 2, when the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1, the protective member 3 is also in an installed state relative to the self - moving device 1. Since when the protective member 3 is installed on the self - moving device 1, the protective member 3 protects the outside of the functional member 11 on the self - moving device 1, that is, the exposed side of the functional member 11, it can block debris from contaminating or damaging the functional member 11.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 includes a shielding portion 31. When the working device 2 is installed on the self - moving device 1, the shielding portion 31 at least partially shields the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 includes a shielding portion 31. The shielding portion 31 can be at least one shielding plate, and the shielding plate is shielded outside the functional member 11. The shape of the shielding plate can be adjusted according to the shape of the functional member 11, and the number of the shielding plates can also be adjusted according to the size of the functional member 11 that needs to be shielded by the shielding portion 31. The shielding portion 31 can also be a shielding cover, which is outside the functional member 11. The shielding portion 31 can be other structures that can achieve the shielding of the functional member 11.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, the shielding portion 31 can be integrated with the protective member 3 or connected to the protective member 3. The material of the shielding portion 31 can be selected from metals, plastics, composite materials, etc. These materials can effectively protect the functional member 11 from external impact and wear, and are suitable for scenarios that require high strength and durability. The shielding portion 31 can also be selected from soft materials such as rubber, silica gel or sponge. The soft material can absorb part of the impact force and reduce the risk of damage to the functional member 11, and is suitable for scenarios that require buffering and shock absorption. The shielding portion 31 can also be selected from transparent or semi - transparent materials such as polycarbonate, tempered glass or special plastics. These materials provide protection while not affecting the line of sight, and are suitable for scenarios that require observing the working state of the functional member 11.

[0062] The working component provided by the embodiments of the present application reduces the direct contact between the functional member 11 and the external environment through the shielding of the shielding portion 31 on the functional member 11, thereby delaying the process of wear and corrosion, and improving the durability of the functional member 11 and the entire working component. Since the shielding portion 31 at least partially shields the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11, a special protection method can be carried out for the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11, making the protection more accurate and effective, and significantly reducing the risk of damage or pollution of these key parts caused by external factors.

[0063] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the shielding portion 31 is adapted to the shape of the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the vulnerable or easily contaminated part 111 of the functional part 11 includes the part of the functional part 11 exposed outside the self-moving device 1. This part is more susceptible to contamination and damage due to being exposed to the outside. Taking the functional part 11 as an example, the camera lens area is an important area of ​​the camera. When the camera lens area is contaminated or blocked, the camera will not work, resulting in the camera being unable to capture the picture. Therefore, the shielding portion 31 needs to at least shield the camera lens area of ​​the camera. In addition, the functional part 11 can also shield and protect the functional part 11 as a whole, or it can shield and protect part of the functional part 11.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the protection of the shielding portion 31 on the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 of the functional part 11, the shielding portion 31 is adapted to the shape of the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 of the functional part 11, so that when the shielding portion 31 shields the vulnerable or easily stained part 111, it can reduce the pollution or damage of the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 of the functional part 11 by sundries, moisture, dust and other substances. For example, when the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 of the functional part 11 is circular, the shape of the area where the shielding portion 31 shields the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 is also circular; when the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 of the functional part 11 is irregular in shape, the shape of the area where the shielding portion 31 shields the vulnerable or easily stained part 111 is an irregular shape that matches the shape of the vulnerable or easily stained part 111.

[0066] The working assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can closely fit the shielding portion 31 and the vulnerable or easily contaminated portion 111 of the functional part 11 due to the matching shapes of the shielding portion 31 and the vulnerable or easily contaminated portion 111 of the functional part 11. This matching design can more effectively prevent external debris, moisture, dust and other substances from contaminating or damaging the vulnerable or easily contaminated portion 111 of the functional part 11, further reducing the risk of damage or contamination of the vulnerable or easily contaminated portion. At the same time, the matching of the shielding portion 31 and the shape of the functional part 11 also helps to improve the stability of the entire self-moving device 1 during operation, especially in the case of high-speed rotation or large vibration, the matching shielding portion 31 can reduce the shaking and deviation of the functional part 11.

[0067] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the shielding portion 31 is a flexible member, and the shielding portion 31 is in interference contact with the vulnerable or easily contaminated portion 111 of the functional member 11 .

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the shielding portion 31 is a flexible member, and the material of the shielding portion 31 can be soft glue, rubber, silica gel, nylon, etc. For example, the material of the shielding portion 31 can be foam. The foam has elasticity and resilience and can quickly return to its original shape after being subjected to external impact or pressure, so as to maintain close fit with and effectively shield the functional member 11. When installing the foam, adhesives or double-sided tapes can be used for fixation, so that the shielding portion 31 can be firmly fixed on the functional member 11 and is not easy to fall off or shift.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to improve the protection effect of the shielding portion 31 on the functional member 11, the shielding portion 31 can be in interference abutment with the functional member 11. Taking the foam as an example, the size of the foam can be slightly larger than the corresponding part of the functional member 11. In this way, during installation, the foam can be subjected to a certain compressive force, so as to fit more closely on the functional member 11 and form an effective protection barrier.

[0070] In the working component provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the shielding portion 31 is a flexible member, the flexible shielding portion 31 can more easily fit closely to the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11 to form an effective protection barrier. This close fit reduces the possibility of external sundries, moisture, dust and other substances entering, thereby reducing the risk of damage or pollution of the functional member 11. At the same time, the interference abutment design enables the shielding portion 31 to better resist deformation and detachment when subjected to external impact or pressure, and maintain continuous protection of the functional member 11.

[0071] Refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 includes a cleaning portion 32. When the protective member 3 is located outside the functional member 11, the cleaning portion 32 can spray a cleaning medium onto the functional member 11 to at least clean the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 , the cleaning portion 32 can be set as a cleaning brush or a cleaning brush disc or other structures that can be used to clean the functional member 11. The surface of the functional member 11 is brushed by driving the brushing device to rotate or reciprocate through a motor, which is suitable for occasions where stubborn stains or surface attachments need to be removed.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, the cleaning portion 32 can spray a cleaning medium onto the functional member 11. When the cleaning portion 32 is any one of the cleaning structures, the cleaning portion 32 can also be provided with a spraying system. For example, a nozzle is installed on the cleaning portion 32, and the cleaning medium (such as water, cleaning agent, dry ice, etc.) is connected through a pipeline, and the cleaning medium is sprayed onto the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11 at a certain pressure and speed by using a power source such as a pump or compressed air.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, for the working component provided, since the cleaning part 32 can spray the cleaning medium onto the functional part 11, by precisely spraying the cleaning medium, it can penetrate into the tiny gaps, grooves and difficult-to-clean corner areas on the surface of the functional part 11, improving the cleaning degree and effect.

[0075] Referring to Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the protective part 3 includes an erasing part 33. When the protective part 3 is located outside the functional part 11, the erasing part 33 can be in contact with the functional part 11 and can move relative to the functional part 11 to at least clean the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional part 11.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the erasing part 33 can select different materials according to the characteristics of the functional part 11 and the requirements of the usage scenario. The erasing part 33 can select soft materials such as sponge, microfiber cloth, etc., to be suitable for gently wiping the functional part 11 with a relatively sensitive surface or prone to scratching, reducing secondary damage to the functional part 11. The erasing part 33 can also select wear-resistant materials such as microfiber cloth, silicone, etc., which are suitable for occasions requiring strong decontamination ability. The erasing part 33 can also select chemically adsorbent materials, which can adsorb and fix stains, reducing residues during the cleaning process.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the erasing part 33 can be in contact with the functional part 11 and can move relative to the functional part 11. There are many ways to realize the relative movement of the erasing part 33 relative to the functional part 11. It can be manually controlled. The user manually operates to make the erasing part 33 contact the surface of the functional part 11 and apply a certain pressure for wiping. It can also be mechanically driven. Through driving devices such as motors and cylinders, the automatic reciprocating or rotating movement of the erasing part 33 is realized, improving the wiping efficiency and uniformity. The present application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0078] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, the erasing part 33 in the protective part 3 can remove dust and debris on the surface of the functional part 11 through the cleaning method of physical contact and relative movement with the protective part 3, restore the surface smoothness of the functional part 11, reduce the occlusion or damage of the dust and debris to the functional part 11, maintain the performance of the functional part 11, prevent failures and extend the service life.

[0079] Referring to Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 further includes a bracket 21, and the protective part 3 is arranged on the working device 2 through the bracket 21.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 further includes a bracket 21, and the material of the bracket 21 can be selected according to the usage scenario. The material of the bracket 21 can be a metal material, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, etc.; the material of the bracket 21 can also be a plastic material, such as engineering plastic or reinforced plastic, etc. Engineering plastic has high strength and toughness, and is light in weight and corrosion-resistant. It is suitable for use in occasions where insulation, corrosion resistance or lightweight design is required. By adding reinforcing materials such as glass fiber and carbon fiber, the reinforced plastic can significantly improve the strength and stiffness of the plastic bracket 21 while maintaining a relatively light weight. The present application does not limit the material of the bracket 21.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 is arranged on the working device 2 through the bracket 21. The protective member 3 can be detachably connected to the bracket 21, which is applied to usage scenarios where detachable connection is required, making the connection between the protective member 3 and the bracket 21 flexible, and operations such as disassembly, replacement, cleaning and maintenance can be carried out at any time according to needs; the connection method between the protective member 3 and the bracket 21 can also be welding, which is suitable for usage scenarios where high-strength connection is required. The welding method can make the connection between the protective member 3 and the bracket 21 firm and not easy to loosen.

[0082] For the working component provided in the embodiments of the present application, since the protective member 3 is arranged on the working device 2 through the bracket 21, the bracket 21 provides additional supporting force as the connection between the protective member 3 and the working device 2, making the protective member 3 more firmly fixed on the working device 2 and preventing it from shaking or falling off due to external forces. At the same time, during the working process, the protective member 3 may bear forces from different directions, and the bracket 21 can effectively disperse these forces, reducing the impact on the working device 2 itself, thereby protecting the stability and safety of the entire system.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 is detachably connected to the bracket 21.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, the protective member 3 is detachably connected to the bracket 21. The detachable connection method can be bolt connection. Corresponding bolt holes or threaded holes are respectively provided on the protective member 3 and the bracket 21, and fasteners such as bolts, nuts and washers are used. By rotating the bolt and tightening it into the nut, the protective member 3 and the bracket 21 are firmly connected together; the detachable connection method can also be snap connection. A snap structure such as a hook or a slot is designed on the protective member 3 or the bracket 21. Align the snap part on the protective member 3 with the slot or hook on the bracket 21, and make the snap tightly combined with the slot or hook by pressing or rotating. The detachable connection method can also be magnetic connection or other detachable connection methods.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the working component is provided, and the protective member 3 is detachably connected to the bracket 21, which can make the connection between the protective member 3 and the bracket 21 flexible, and operations such as disassembly, replacement, cleaning and maintenance can be carried out at any time according to needs.

[0086] Referring to Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 further includes a housing 22, and the housing 22, the bracket 21 and the protective member 3 are an integral structure.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 22, the bracket 21 and the protective member 3 can adopt an integral molding process. By using integral molding technologies such as injection molding, die casting molding or 3D printing, the housing 22, the bracket 21 and the protective member 3 are directly manufactured into a whole component. This process reduces the assembly steps and the number of components, and improves the production efficiency. The housing 22, the bracket 21 and the protective member 3 can also be formed into an integral structure by welding, or can be formed into an integral structure by mechanical connection and fastening, etc. The present application does not make any limitation in this regard.

[0088] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, the housing 22, the bracket 21 and the protective member 3 are an integral structure, which enhances the structural stability of the entire working device 2. During the working process, this integral structure can better resist external forces and vibrations, reduce the relative displacement and looseness between components, and thus extend the service life of the equipment.

[0089] Referring to Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the working component further includes an elastic member 4, and the elastic member 4 is disposed between the working device 2 and the bracket 21, and is used to apply an elastic force to the bracket 21 at least in the direction of the distance between the working device 2 and the functional member 11.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 4 is used to apply an elastic force to the bracket 21 at least in the direction of the distance between the working device 2 and the functional member 11. The elastic member 4 can be a spring, such as a torsion spring, a tension spring, a compression spring, etc.; the elastic member 4 can be an elastic material such as silica gel.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 4 is disposed between the working device 2 and the bracket 21, and the elastic member 4 is used to apply an elastic force to the bracket 21 at least in the direction of the distance between the working device 2 and the functional member 11. When the protective member 3 protects the functional member 11, one end of the protective member 3 is close to the functional member 11, and the other end of the protective member 3 is connected to the working device 2. When the self-mobile device 1 and the working device 2 are running, large vibrations will be generated. At this time, the working device 2 may generate a certain displacement relative to the self-mobile device 1, which may cause a collision between the end of the protective member 3 close to the functional member 11 and the functional member 11. The elastic member 4 applying an elastic force to the bracket 21 at least in the direction of the distance between the working device 2 and the functional member 11 can reduce the possibility of collision between the protective member 3 and the functional member 11.

[0092] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the protective member 3 is arranged on the bracket 21 and the elastic member 4 is arranged between the working device 2 and the bracket 21, when the protective member 3 protects the functional member 11, the elastic member 4 arranged on the bracket 21 can reduce the influence of the vibration generated by the operation of the self-moving device 1 on the cooperation between the protective member 3 and the functional member 11, reduce the collision of the protective member 3 against the functional member 11 during vibration, and improve the stability and safety of the structure.

[0093] Referring to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments of the present application, the working component further includes an adjustment component 5. The protective member 3 is arranged on the working device 2 through the adjustment component 5. By adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can be driven to move relative to the functional member 11 in at least one spatial direction, so that the protective member 3 is located at a position corresponding to the vulnerable or easily soiled part 111 of the functional member 11.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can be driven to move relative to the functional member 11 in at least one spatial direction. With the self-moving device 1 as a reference, by adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can be driven to move relative to the functional member 11 in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z. Among them, referring to Figure 9 the first direction X is the direction of the distance between the self-moving device 1 and the working device 2; referring to Figure 10 the second direction Y is the height direction of the self-moving device 1; referring to Figure 11 the third direction Z is the extending direction of the side of the self-moving device 1 close to the working device 2.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the self-moving device 1 along the first direction X. When the working device 2 is installed on the self-moving device 1, the protective member 3 can be moved to the position of protecting the functional member 11 or away from the functional member 11 through the adjustment device. By adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can move along the second direction Y and / or the third direction Z, so that the protective member 3 can adapt to the functional members 11 located at different positions on the self-moving device 1. For example, when there are multiple functional members 11 on the self-moving device 1, the position of the protective member 3 can be adjusted through the adjustment component 5, so that the protective member 3 can move between different functional members 11 to protect different functional members 11 according to requirements.

[0096] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the protective member 3 is arranged on the working device 2 through the adjustment component 5, by adjusting the posture of the adjustment component 5, the protective member 3 can be driven to move relative to the functional member 11 at least in one spatial direction. Thus, under different working environments and working requirements, the user can quickly adjust the position of the protective member 3 through the adjustment component 5 according to the specific situation, without replacing the entire working device 2, improving the operation flexibility of the equipment.

[0097] Referring to Figure 12 , in some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment component 5 includes a guiding member 51. The guiding member 51 is arranged to extend along the direction of the working device 2 towards the functional member 11, and the protective member 3 is slidably connected to the guiding member 51.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the guiding member 51 is arranged on the working device 2, and the protective member 3 is slidably connected to the guiding member 51. The guiding member 51 can be a linear guiding member 51, which extends linearly along the direction of the working device 2 towards the functional member 11, that is, along the first direction X, so as to enable the stable sliding of the protective member 3 in a single direction. The guiding member 51 can be structures such as a guide pin, a guide sleeve, a roller guide rail, a dovetail groove, etc.

[0099] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the protective member 3 is slidably connected to the guiding member 51, the protective member 3 can change the positional relationship with the functional member 11 through the guiding member 51. Since the guiding member 51 is arranged to extend along the direction of the working device 2 towards the functional member 11, the protective member 3 can slide on the guiding member 51 to move away from and close to the functional member 11, so that the protective member 3 can adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0100] Referring to Figure 12 , in some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment component 5 further includes a driving member 52 and a sliding member 53. The sliding member 53 is slidably installed on the guiding member 51, the protective member 3 is installed on the sliding member 53, and the output end of the driving member 52 is connected to the sliding member 53. The driving member 52 is used to drive the sliding member 53 to move along the guiding member 51 to drive the protective member 3 to move in the direction of approaching or departing from the functional member 11.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the sliding member 53 is slidably mounted on the guiding member 51. The sliding member 53 can be a slider, and in this case, the guiding member 51 can be a guide rail. The slider is arranged on the guide rail and can slide along the extending direction of the guide rail. The guiding member 51 and the sliding member 53 can also be a combination of a U-shaped groove guide rail and a sliding block. The U-shaped groove guide rail has a cross-sectional shape similar to the letter "U", with two parallel side walls and an open bottom, forming a sliding track. The sliding block usually has a profile matching the side walls of the U-shaped groove guide rail and can slide smoothly within the groove. The guiding member 51 and the sliding member 53 can also be a combination of a dovetail groove guide rail and a dovetail slider. The cross-sectional shape of the dovetail groove guide rail is similar to a dovetail, having a relatively wide bottom and two gradually narrowing sides. The shape of the dovetail slider matches that of the dovetail groove guide rail, and the dovetail slider can be tightly embedded in the dovetail groove guide rail and slide along the dovetail groove guide rail.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, the output end of the driving member 52 is connected to the sliding member 53. The driving member 52 can be a motor, a cylinder, a linear actuator, etc. For example, when the driving member 52 is a servo motor, the guiding member 51 is a dovetail groove guide rail, and the sliding member 53 is a dovetail slider, the fixed end of the servo motor is mounted on the working device 2, the output end of the servo motor is connected to the dovetail slider, the protective member 3 is arranged on the dovetail slider, the dovetail slider is arranged on the dovetail groove guide rail, and the dovetail groove guide rail is mounted on the working device 2. When the output end of the servo motor moves, it can drive the dovetail slider to move along the dovetail groove guide rail, thereby driving the protective member 3 to move along the dovetail groove guide rail.

[0103] For the working assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application, since the output end of the driving member 52 is connected to the sliding member 53, the driving member 52 controls the movement of the output end of the driving member 52, thereby driving the sliding member 53 to slide along the guiding member 51, and further driving the protective member 3 to move in a direction closer to or farther from the functional member 11, so as to adjust the protection range. This flexibility improves the adaptability and usability of the device, enabling the device to cope with different working environments and task requirements.

[0104] Referring to Figure 13 , in some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment assembly 5 further includes a rotating connecting member 54. The protective member 3 and the working device 2 are connected through the rotating connecting member 54, and through the rotating connecting member 54, the direction of the protective member 3 relative to the functional member 11 can be adjusted.

[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, by rotating the connecting member 54, the direction of the protective member 3 relative to the functional member 11 can be adjusted, that is, the angle of the protective member 3 relative to the functional member 11 is adjusted, so that the cooperation between the protective member 3 and the functional member 11 is closer. The rotating connecting member 54 can be a rotary bearing. By installing the rotary bearing, flexible rotation and adjustment of the protective member 3 in multiple directions can be achieved; the rotating connecting member 54 can also be a universal joint, and the universal joint may be used to connect the protective member 3 and the working device 2, and more complex motion adjustment can be achieved. The rotating connecting member 54 can also be implemented in other ways, and the present application does not limit this.

[0106] In the working assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application, since the direction of the protective member 3 relative to the functional member 11 can be adjusted by rotating the connecting member 54, flexible connection and direction adjustment of the protective member 3 relative to the functional member 11 are realized. Under the vibration generated by the operation of the self-moving device 1 and the working device 2, the flexibility of the cooperation between the protective member 3 and the functional member 11 is improved, thereby enhancing the protection effect of the device on the protective member 3.

[0107] Refer to Figure 14 , in some embodiments of the present application, the working device 2 further includes a control unit 6 electrically connected to the adjustment assembly 5. The control unit 6 is configured to send a control instruction to the adjustment assembly 5 so that the adjustment assembly 5 performs an adjustment action to drive the protective member 3 to the outside of the functional member 11.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, the control unit 6 is configured to send a control instruction to the adjustment assembly 5 so that the adjustment assembly 5 performs an adjustment action. The control unit 6 may include a single-chip microcomputer, which has the characteristics of small volume, low power consumption, and strong performance. The single-chip microcomputer is a microcomputer system with data processing capabilities. The control unit 6 may also include a remote control system. The user can remotely control the intelligent lawn mower through the remote control system. It usually includes a remote server or cloud platform for receiving control instructions sent by the user and forwarding these instructions to the control unit 6 on the lawn mower. The control unit 6 may also include other units, and the present application does not limit this.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, the control unit 6 controls the adjustment assembly 5 to perform an adjustment action. When the functional member 11 needs to be protected, the control unit 6 sends an instruction to the adjustment assembly 5 to drive the protective member 3 to the outside of the functional member 11. The adjustment assembly 5 moves the protective member 3 to the outside of the functional member 11 by adjusting its own posture, so that the protective member 3 protects the functional member 11. When the functional member 11 needs to work or when the functional member 11 does not need to be protected, the control unit 6 sends an instruction to the adjustment assembly 5 to drive the protective member 3 away from the outside of the functional member 11. The adjustment assembly 5 moves the protective member 3 away from the functional member 11 by adjusting its own posture, so that the functional member 11 is exposed and the functional member 11 can work normally.

[0110] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, through the precise control of the adjustment component 5 by the control unit 6, the automatic adjustment of the position of the protective component 3 is realized, which reduces the need for manual intervention and improves the automation degree of the device. At the same time, the control unit 6 can flexibly adjust the position and posture of the protective component 3 according to different working environments and requirements to adapt to different working scenarios and conditions. In addition, the control unit 6 can make decisions according to preset algorithms or real-time received data (such as information feedback by sensors), so that the protective component 3 is in the best position as much as possible, thereby optimizing the protection effect of the protective component 3 on the functional component 11 and the working efficiency of the self-moving device 1.

[0111] Referring to Figure 15 , in some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of functional components 11 are arranged on the self-moving device 1, and the protective component 3 is correspondingly arranged with at least one functional component 11.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, each functional component 11 is correspondingly configured with one or more protective components 3 to improve the protection effect of the protective component 3 on the functional component 11 during the operation. For example, the blade may be equipped with a metal protective cover to prevent the operator from accidentally touching it; the collector may be equipped with a filter screen and a sealing cover to prevent sundries from entering and causing blockage. By way of example, referring to Figure 15 , two functional components 11 are arranged on the self-moving device 1, and two protective components 3 are arranged on the working device 2. The two protective components 3 are correspondingly arranged with the two functional components 11, and when the working device 2 is installed on the self-moving device 1, the two protective components 3 can respectively protect the outside of the two functional components 11.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the material, shape, size, etc. of the protective component 3 need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the functional component 11 and the working environment. The protective component 3 may adopt different materials (such as metal, plastic, rubber, etc.), different structures and different shapes to ensure the best protection effect and working efficiency.

[0114] In the working component provided by the embodiment of the present application, the protective component 3 is correspondingly arranged with at least one functional component 11, and each functional component 11 has a corresponding protective component 3, ensuring that during the operation, each functional component 11 can be specially protected, and improving the protection range of the functional components 11 on the self-moving device 1. The configuration of the protective component 3 covers the main working areas and functional components of the lawn mower, forming a more comprehensive protection and improving the overall safety and stability of the operation.
