Detailed implementation manners

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, in the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals represent the same components, and for the sake of brevity, in different embodiments, the detailed description of the same components is omitted.

[0040] To enable the positioning device to have a longer service life, a visible cover plate is usually provided on the outside to play a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, while not affecting the positioning function of the positioning device. However, after a period of time, the visible cover plate is prone to dirt, which affects the accuracy of the signal received by the positioning device.

[0041] The mowing robots in the related art usually adopt a structure of two layers of shells, and the protection of the two layers of shells for the internal electronic components is weak. In order to better meet the assembly and layout requirements of various parts inside the mowing robot, specific requirements are imposed on the mechanical properties and structures of the two shells, and it is usually difficult to take into account the appearance effect.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a mowing robot 100, and the mowing robot 100 includes a housing assembly 10, a circuit board 20, and a status indication assembly 30. The housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and a third housing 13 that are sequentially stacked. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 enclose a first cavity 40, and the second housing 12 and the third housing 13 enclose a second cavity 50; the circuit board 20 is disposed in the first cavity 40; the status indication assembly 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, the status indication assembly 30 is disposed in the second cavity 50, and at least a part of the status indication assembly 30 penetrates through the third housing 13 to be exposed to the outside thereof.

[0043] Optionally, the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the third housing 13 are detachably connected as a whole. The detachable connection facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the mowing robot 100.

[0044] It should be noted that the connection line between the status indication assembly 30 and the circuit board 20 penetrates through the second housing 12 to electrically connect the status indication assembly 30 and the circuit board 20.

[0045] Optionally, the status indication assembly 30 has a light-emitting surface for emitting light. The light-emitting surface is disposed away from the second housing 12 and is exposed on the outer surface of the housing assembly 10. The status indication assembly 30 can be used for power-on / off indication, operation indication, abnormality indication, function interaction, lighting, etc. The status indication assembly 30 can indicate different working states of the mowing machine by emitting lights of different colors and different lighting modes. The structure is simple, easy to implement, low in cost, good in prompting effect, and through the combination of the light color and the lighting mode, more different indication information can be output, so as to realize the indication of more types of working states.

[0046] Optionally, the lighting modes can include a long-bright mode, a flashing mode, and a breathing light mode.

[0047] Optionally, the startup and shutdown of the mowing robot 100 can be indicated by a light of a certain color, such as the on and off of a green light. For another example, the abnormal state of the mowing robot 100 can be indicated by the flashing of a red light. For another example, the operation state or driving state of the mowing robot 100 can be indicated by the power level of lights at different positions, etc.

[0048] It should be noted that when the mowing robot 100 is upright, the first housing 11 is closer to the bottom surface of the mowing robot 100 than the second housing 12, and the third housing 13 is closer to the top surface of the mowing robot 100 than the second housing 12. It can also be understood that the direction of gravity points from the third housing 13 to the second housing 12 and then to the first housing 11 in sequence. It can also be understood that the third housing 13, the second housing 12, and the first housing 11 are arranged in sequence along the direction of gravity.

[0049] Optionally, the status indication component 30 is arranged close to the front end of the mowing robot 100 to better indicate the traveling direction of the mowing robot 100.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "front end" and "rear end" in this application are defined with respect to the traveling direction of the mowing robot 100. Along the traveling direction, the part closer to the front is called the front end, and the part closer to the rear is called the rear end. The front end and the rear end are located on opposite sides of the mowing robot 100 along the traveling direction.

[0051] It should be noted that although the second housing 12 is arranged between the first housing 11 and the third housing 13, the side surface of the second housing 12 is exposed outside the first housing 11 and the third housing 13.

[0052] The mowing robot 100 described in this application includes a housing assembly 10, a circuit board 20, and a status indication component 30. The status indication component 30 can output different prompt messages to indicate the current state of the mowing robot, such as startup and shutdown indication, operation indication, abnormal indication, function interaction, and lighting, etc., so that the user can timely and conveniently understand the current working state of the mowing robot 100, which is convenient for the user to manage the mowing robot 100.

[0053] In addition, by providing three housings, the circuit board 20 is disposed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the status indicating component 30 is disposed between the second housing 12 and the third housing 13. This can enable the lawn mowing robot 100 to have better waterproofing effect, thereby increasing the service life of the lawn mowing robot 100. In addition, for the solution with two housings, in order to better meet the assembly and layout requirements of various parts inside the lawn mowing robot 100, there are specific requirements for the mechanical properties and structures of the two housings, and it is usually difficult to balance the appearance effect. In this application, by providing a three-layer housing structure, the first cavity 40 enclosed by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be used to install the internal components of the lawn mowing robot 100, especially the components that need to be waterproofed, to meet the assembly requirements of the internal components of the lawn mower robot. While ensuring the basic protection function, the third housing 13 can also be designed in terms of appearance, so that the lawn mowing robot 100 has a better appearance effect. Moreover, the status indicating component 30 can indicate the traveling direction of the lawn mowing robot 100 and can also provide lighting for the lawn mowing robot 100, so as to better detect the environmental information around the lawn mowing robot 100, so that the lawn mowing robot 100 can work more accurately and improve the working efficiency of the lawn mowing robot 100 in the dark.

[0086] In this embodiment, by providing the mounting member 314 and the protective cover 315, the light strip board 312 can be doubly protected, so that the light strip board 312 has a better service life; in addition, by providing the mounting member 314 and the protective cover 315, the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 can be better positioned within the second cavity 50 enclosed by the second housing 12 and the third housing 13, preventing the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 from moving within the second cavity 50 and pulling the connection lines between the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 and the circuit board 20, thereby better ensuring the connection stability of the connection lines between the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 and the circuit board 20.

[0087] Please refer again to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the lawn mowing robot 100 further includes a positioning component 90a, the positioning component 90a is disposed on a side of the third housing 13 facing away from the second housing 12 and is located between the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32, the positioning component 90a is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and is used for positioning the lawn mowing robot 100, and the positioning component 90a, the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 are all disposed close to the front end of the lawn mowing robot 100.

[0088] Optionally, the positioning component 90a is disposed on the convex portion 122.

[0089] Optionally, the positioning component 90a may include, but is not limited to, at least one of an image acquisition module (also known as a vision module), a positioning module, a ranging module, a radar module, and an obstacle avoidance module. Optionally, the image acquisition module may be, but is not limited to, a camera, a camera module, etc. The positioning module may be, but is not limited to, a GPS module.

[0090] Optionally, the number of the positioning components 90a may be one or more. When the number of the positioning components 90a is multiple, the multiple positioning components 90a may be disposed at intervals. The term "multiple" means greater than or equal to two.

[0091] Optionally, the positioning component 90a is used for positioning the lawn mowing robot 100, detecting the environmental information of the lawn mowing robot 100, performing obstacle avoidance, sensing the surrounding environment, and other functions.

[0092] In this embodiment, by providing a positioning component 90a for detecting the environmental information of the lawn mowing robot 100, the lawn mowing robot 100 can be better controlled for obstacle avoidance and operation based on this environmental information. The positioning component 90a is located between the first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32. The first indicator component 31 and the second indicator component 32 can also illuminate the positioning component 90a, so that the positioning component 90a can accurately obtain the environmental information of the lawn mowing robot 100 even in a dark environment, and can more accurately position and avoid obstacles for the lawn mowing robot 100.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the first housing 11 near the rear end of the lawn mowing robot 100 has a first receiving cavity 111 and a second receiving cavity 112 which are spaced apart along the height direction of the lawn mowing robot 100; the first receiving cavity 111 is located below the second receiving cavity 112. The lawn mowing robot 100 further includes a battery assembly 60 and an infrared assembly 70; the battery assembly 60 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 111 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20 for supplying power to the lawn mowing robot 100; the infrared assembly 70 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 112 and electrically connected to the circuit board 20 for positioning when the lawn mowing robot 100 is charging.

[0094] It can be understood that when the lawn mowing robot 100 is upright on a plane, the height direction of the lawn mowing robot 100 is parallel to the direction of gravity, that is, the height direction is perpendicular to the plane on which the lawn mowing robot 100 stands.

[0095] It can be understood that the first receiving cavity 111 is disposed farther from the second housing 12 and the third housing 13 than the second receiving cavity 112; in other words, the second receiving cavity 112 is disposed closer to the second housing 12 and the third housing 13.

[0096] It should be noted that when the lawn mowing robot 100 needs to be charged, the lawn mowing robot 100 needs to reverse into the charging pile. At this time, the infrared assembly 70 can be used to position the lawn mowing robot 100 so that the lawn mowing robot 100 can more accurately enter the charging pile for charging.

[0097] Optionally, the battery assembly 60 is a secondary battery, that is, a rechargeable battery.

[0098] In this embodiment, by providing power to the lawn mowing robot 100 through the battery assembly 60, the lawn mowing robot 100 can work wirelessly, increasing the convenience of using the lawn mowing robot 100. By providing the infrared assembly 70, it can better position the lawn mowing robot 100 when reversing. This not only enables the lawn mowing robot 100 to reverse more accurately into the charging pile during charging, but also cooperates with the positioning assembly 90a installed at the front end of the lawn mowing robot 100. Thus, when the lawn mowing robot 100 moves forward and backward, it can accurately detect the environmental information around the lawn mowing robot 100, thereby positioning the lawn mowing robot 100 more accurately and improving the working efficiency of the lawn mowing robot 100.

[0099] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the lawn mowing robot 100 further includes an electrode assembly 80. The electrode assembly 80 is disposed on the second housing 12 and is disposed near the rear end of the lawn mowing robot 100. The electrode assembly 80 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and is used to connect to an external power supply.

[0100] Optionally, the electrode assembly 80 is also electrically connected to the battery assembly 60. The electrode assembly 80 includes a first electrode 81 and a second electrode 82. The first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are respectively electrically connected to the battery assembly 60 and are used to connect to an external power supply to charge the battery assembly 60.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first electrode 81 is the positive electrode and the second electrode 82 is the negative electrode. In other embodiments, the first electrode 81 is the negative electrode and the second electrode 82 is the positive electrode.

[0102] Optionally, both the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are exposed on the second housing 12.

[0103] In this embodiment, by providing the electrode assembly 80, it can better charge the battery assembly 60. In addition, the electrode assembly 80 is disposed near the rear end of the lawn mowing robot 100. In this way, when the lawn mowing robot 100 enters the charging pile for charging, it is beneficial for the electrode assembly 80 to be electrically connected to the charging pile, improving the convenience of charging the lawn mowing robot 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, the mowing robot 100 further includes two traveling wheels 90. The two traveling wheels 90 are disposed at the rear end of the mowing robot 100 and on opposite sides thereof. One of the two traveling wheels 90 and the housing assembly 10 enclose a first space 83, and the other one and the housing assembly 10 enclose a second space 84. The first electrode 81 is located in the first space 83, and the second electrode 82 is located in the second space 84. The first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are respectively electrically connected to the circuit board and are used to connect to an external power supply to charge the mowing robot 100.

[0105] It can be understood that the first electrode 81 is located between the housing assembly 10 and one of the two traveling wheels 90, and the second electrode 82 is located between the housing assembly 10 and the other one of the two traveling wheels 90.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first electrode 81 and the housing assembly 10 enclose a first space 83 with one of the two traveling wheels 90, and the second electrode 82 and the housing assembly 10 enclose a second space 84 with the other one of the two traveling wheels 90. In this way, the two traveling wheels 90 can protect the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82, reducing the probability that the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are collided by external objects, and even avoiding the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 from being collided by external objects. In addition, both the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are disposed close to the traveling wheels 90. During the overcharging process of the rotation of the mowing robot 100, the distances between the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 and the rotation center position are small, that is, the rotation radii are small, further reducing the probability that the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 are collided by external objects, and even avoiding the first electrode 81 and the second electrode 82 from being collided by external objects.

[0107] Please refer to again Figure 8, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 includes a connected front end portion 14 and a rear end portion 15, and the rear end portion 15 protrudes from a side of the front end portion 14 facing away from the front end of the mowing robot 100. The first housing 11 includes a first front end sub-portion 141 and a first rear end sub-portion 151, the second housing 12 includes a second front end sub-portion 142 and a second rear end sub-portion 152, and the third housing 13 includes a third front end sub-portion 143 and a third rear end sub-portion 153. The first front end sub-portion 141, the second front end sub-portion 142, and the third front end sub-portion 143 are sequentially stacked to form the front end portion 14, and the first rear end sub-portion 151, the second rear end sub-portion 152, and the third rear end sub-portion 153 are sequentially stacked to form the rear end portion 15. The mowing robot 100 further includes two traveling wheels 90, and the two traveling wheels 90 are located on the same side of the front end portion 14 and on opposite sides of the rear end portion 15 respectively, and the two traveling wheels 90 are respectively rotatably connected to the rear end portion 15.

[0108] Understandably, along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the front end portion 14 and the rear end portion 15 and perpendicular to the height of the mowing robot 100, the size of the rear end portion 15 is smaller than that of the front end portion 14. The front end portion 14 and the rear end portion 15 enclose a "T-shaped" structure.

[0109] Optionally, the battery assembly 60, the infrared assembly 70, and the electrode assembly 80 are disposed at the rear end portion 15 of the mowing robot 100. The positioning assembly 90a, the status indicator assembly 30, and the circuit board 20 are disposed at the rear end portion 15 of the mowing robot 100.

[0110] Understandably, the arrangement direction of the two traveling wheels 90 intersects with the arrangement direction of the front end portion 14 and the rear end portion 15. In a specific embodiment, the arrangement direction of the two traveling wheels 90 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the front end portion 14 and the rear end portion 15.

[0111] Understandably, the traveling wheels 90 and the rear end portion 15 are located on the same side of the front end portion 14.

[0112] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 10 includes a connected front end portion 14 and a rear end portion 15, and the rear end portion 15 protrudes from a side of the front end portion 14 facing away from the front end of the mowing robot 100; the two traveling wheels 90 are located on the same side of the front end portion 14 and on opposite sides of the rear end portion 15 respectively, and the two traveling wheels 90 are respectively rotatably connected to the rear end portion 15, so that the arrangement of the mowing robot 100 is more compact. In addition, compared with the solution in which the traveling wheels 90 are disposed below the housing assembly 10, the two traveling wheels 90 in this embodiment are relatively disposed on opposite sides of the housing assembly 10, so that the overall center of gravity of the mowing robot 100 can be lower, thereby increasing the traveling stability of the mowing robot 100.
