[0036] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a blowing device 7 disclosed in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0037] A mounting frame 1, including an upper mounting frame 101 and a lower mounting frame 102;

[0038] A blowing module 2, including a blowing channel 201 and a blowing head 202, and the blowing head 202 is sleeved at the end of the blowing channel 201;

[0039] An identification module 3, including a first mounting component 301 and an identification component 302 mounted on the first mounting component 301, and the first mounting component 301 and the upper mounting frame 101 form a mounting space for mounting the blowing channel 201;

[0040] A collision module 4, protruding from the lower mounting frame 102.

[0041] Among them, the mounting frame 1 is the basic structure of the entire blowing device 7. The mounting frame 1 may include an upper mounting frame 101 and a lower mounting frame 102. There are differences in the relative mounting positions between the upper mounting frame 101 and the lower mounting frame 102. The relative mounting position of the upper mounting frame 101 can be understood as the upper position of the blowing device 7 in the working state, and the relative mounting position of the lower mounting frame 102 can be understood as the lower position of the blowing device 7 in the working state. The two mounting frames can be fixedly connected in the form of bolts, rivets, screws or fasteners;

[0042] The blowing module 2 may include a blowing channel 201 and a blowing head 202. The blowing channel 201 is installed in the installation space formed by the first installation component 301 and the upper mounting frame 101 (after the first installation component 301 and the upper mounting frame 101 are butted, the blowing channel 201 is installed in the installation space). The blowing channel 201 may be formed by enclosing two symmetric and identical channel shells 2011. A connection position is provided on the outer surface of each channel shell 2011, and the respective connection positions are in a symmetric state. The connection position can be penetrated by a connecting member, such as a bolt. In this way, the respective channel shells 2011 can be fixedly connected to form the channel shell 2011. In addition, the channel shell 2011 is made into a shell with a curvature, which has a sound absorption effect. Specifically, when the air flow passes through the curved blowing channel 201, the air flow rotates due to the tangential acceleration of the bend, forming a rotating gas layer, avoiding the direct impact of the air flow, thereby achieving the sound absorption effect. It can also ensure that the wind force is more concentrated and strong during the purging process. Specifically, it changes the direction and intensity of the wind force, so that the wind force is more evenly and effectively distributed in the channel. The blowing head 202 can be arranged at the end of the blowing channel 201, which is equivalent to the air outlet of the blowing channel 201. The flowing air at the air outlet can change the blowing direction through the blowing head 202. In this way, the blowing head 202 can blow the flowing air to a specific area outside, and move the substances in the specific area to the corresponding target area;

[0043] The recognition module 3 may include a first installation component 301 and a recognition component 302. The first installation component 301 may be a housing structure for installing the recognition component 302. An opening adapted to the recognition component 302 is opened on the first installation component 301. The recognition camera or recognition probe in the recognition component 302 is installed in the opening, and other electronic components in the recognition component 302 are accommodated in the internal space formed by the first installation component 301. The recognition component 302 may be at least one of a camera or an ultrasonic radar. In addition, the number of openings opened in the recognition module 3 is not specifically limited, and multiple recognition components 302 can be set according to the requirements of recognition accuracy. For example, two openings are opened on the first installation component 301 for placing a binocular camera, and the binocular camera can recognize the distance between the blowing device 7 and the obstacle;

[0044] The collision module 4 can be a structure composed of a collision sensor (not shown in the figure) and a collision bar 401. The material of the collision bar 401 can be a metal material, and its interior can be in a hollow state. A protective sleeve with a protective or buffer material can be provided at the position where the collision bar 401 contacts the external obstacle. The protective sleeve can be made of a material with a certain elastic deformation. After the protective sleeve is provided, fixing plugs for fixing the protective sleeve on the collision bar 401 and preventing water ingress can be respectively arranged on both sides of the collision bar 401. In this way, the collision bar 401 can play a protective function when colliding with an obstacle. The collision sensor (not shown in the figure) can be arranged inside the collision bar 401, which is also the position where the collision bar 401 is easily contacted by the external obstacle, and can trigger the detection circuit in the collision sensor (not shown in the figure) when contacting the obstacle. The selection of the collision sensor (not shown in the figure) can include a pressure sensor and a photoelectric sensor. The sensitive element in the pressure sensor will be in contact with the outer shell of the collision bar 401. After the collision bar 401 contacts the external obstacle, the collision bar 401 will cause the sensitive element to deform or displace, and the detection circuit in the pressure sensor can sense the collision signal. The photoelectric sensor is provided with a transmitter and a receiver, and the path between the transmitter and the receiver can be in an always-open state. The transmitter will be in contact with the outer shell of the collision bar 401. After the collision bar 401 contacts the external obstacle, the collision bar 401 will cause the transmitter to displace, thereby closing the original path, and the detection circuit in the photoelectric sensor can sense the collision signal;

[0045] In this embodiment, the blowing module 2 in the blowing device 7 blows various fine objects such as leaves, broken grass, and snow in the courtyard area to a target area, such as an area that does not affect the user's walking. In this way, the cleanliness of the courtyard area can be ensured, the aesthetic effect of the courtyard environment can be improved, and at the same time, the user's walking will not be directly affected, improving the user experience effect; in addition, the recognition module 3 in the blowing device 7 can recognize the above-mentioned various fine objects or the distance from the obstacle, and the collision module 4 in the blowing device 7 can determine the collision situation between the blowing device 7 and the obstacle. In this way, the automation degree can be improved through various situations automatically recognized by the device.

By providing a fixing structure inside the connecting component 5 that can be connected to the second mounting component 601, in this way, after the connecting component 5 is placed on the upper mounting frame 101, the second mounting component 601 can be fixed to the upper mounting frame 101 through the fixing structure.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the blowing device 7 further includes a lighting module 6. The lighting module 6 includes a second mounting component 601 and a lighting component 602 mounted on the second mounting part. The second mounting component 601, the first mounting component 301, and the upper mounting frame 101 form an installation space for installing the blowing channel 201.

[0049] Among them, the lighting module 6 can include a second mounting component 601 and a lighting component 602. The second mounting component 601 can be a housing structure for mounting the lighting component 602. An opening adapted to the lighting component 602 is provided on the second mounting component 601. The lamp board of the lighting component 602 can be installed in this opening, and other electronic components in the lighting component 602 are accommodated in the internal space formed by the second mounting component 601. The housing where the second mounting component 601 is located can be docked with the upper mounting frame 101 to form an installation space for installing the blowing channel 201, and the housing where the first mounting component 301 is located can also be docked with the upper mounting frame 101 to form an installation space for installing the blowing channel 201. Furthermore, the blowing channel 201 is installed in the installation space formed by the three; the lighting component 602 can be a strip-shaped LED lamp board. The strip-shaped setting can increase the light coverage range of the blowing device 7, which is beneficial to identifying the recognition accuracy in scenarios with poor ambient light. In addition, the number of lighting modules 6 provided is not specifically limited. Multiple lighting modules 6 can be set according to the lighting range requirements. For example, lighting modules 6 can be set on the left and right sides of the blowing device 7.

[0050] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the first mounting component 301 is provided with a first opening adapted to the recognition component 302, and the second mounting component 601 is provided with a second opening adapted to the lighting component 602.

[0052] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment, the collision module 4 includes a collision sensor (not shown in the figure) and a collision bar 401. A collision sensor (not shown in the figure) for identifying collisions is provided inside the collision bar 401, and the collision bar 401 protrudes relative to the lower mounting bracket 102.

[0053] Among them, the collision bar 401 protrudes outward from the mounting bracket. Specifically, a support member protruding outward can be provided on the lower mounting bracket 102, and the collision bar 401 is installed on the support member. In this way, when the blowing device 7 collides, the collision bar 401 first collides with an obstacle, and a collision signal is identified by the collision sensor (not shown in the figure) installed inside the collision bar 401.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, in an embodiment, the blowing channel 201 includes two identical channel housings 2011. After the two channel housings 2011 are symmetrically installed, the blowing channel 201 is formed.

[0055] Among them, the number of the channel housings 2011 can be the same housing. Through the form of symmetrical installation, the two channel housings 2011 can be stably installed to form a blowing channel 201 through which the flowing air can flow.
