[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the side module external structure and mechanical equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the side module external structure 100 provided by the solution of the embodiment of the present application can be arranged on the side of the mechanical equipment. Optionally, Figure 1 the mechanical equipment in

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1and with reference to Figures 2 to 4 wherein Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the side module external structure provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the module installation groove provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the communication module provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] The mechanical equipment includes a housing 10 and a side module external structure 100. For the side module external structure 100, the side module external structure 100 mainly includes a module installation groove 2 and a module outer sealing plate 3. The module installation groove 2 is provided in the housing 10 of the mechanical equipment. The module installation groove 2 is located on the side of the mechanical equipment. A communication module 1 is horizontally installed in the module installation groove 2; the module outer sealing plate 3 is installed in the module installation groove 2, and the module outer sealing plate 3 and the module installation groove 2 form a closed space for accommodating the communication module 1. When the module outer sealing plate 3 is removed, the opening of the module installation groove 2 is exposed on the side of the housing 10, facilitating the installation of the communication module 1 into the module installation groove 2.

[0044] In the prior art, the communication module 1 of the intelligent lawn mower is usually built into the machine body, which not only limits the accessibility of the module but also increases the difficulty during maintenance and upgrade. In addition, since the intelligent lawn mower needs to work under various weather conditions, once moisture penetrates, it will seriously affect the normal communication function of the machine and even damage the entire control system. In view of these problems, the side module external structure 100 provided by the present application has been innovatively designed.

[0045] First, the module installation groove 2 is provided on the side of the housing 10 of the mechanical equipment, which makes the installation position of the communication module 1 more accessible. Users can quickly replace or upgrade the communication module 1 without opening the entire machine housing 10, greatly improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0046] Second, the module outer sealing plate 3 is installed on the module installation groove 2 and together with the module installation groove 2 forms a closed space, effectively protecting the communication module 1 from the influence of the external environment.

[0047] In addition, the module installation groove 2 has a side opening, the communication module 1 is horizontally installed in the module installation groove 2, and there is a module outer sealing plate 3 to close the opening, forming a waterproof side elevation, significantly improving the waterproof performance.

[0048] Combined with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the mechanical equipment has at least the following beneficial effects: the side module external structure 100 effectively improves the accessibility and replaceability of the communication module 1. At the same time, through the flush design of the module outer sealing plate 3, the waterproof performance of the equipment is enhanced, solving the problems of difficult maintenance of the communication module in the prior art and vulnerability to moisture during outdoor operation.

[0049] In some cases, the module installation slot 2 can be integrally integrated into the housing 10 of the mechanical equipment, and the module outer sealing plate 3 is detachable.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the module installation slot 2 has a lateral opening and an open cavity 21 is formed inside it. The module outer sealing plate 3 is installed at the opening position of the module installation slot 2. The bottom of the open cavity 21 is provided with a module connection hole 22. The communication module 1 is horizontally installed in the open cavity 21 and is inserted and fixed to the module interface 20 in the module connection hole 22. The open cavity 21 is located inside the housing 10, and the open cavity 21 communicates with the outside of the housing 10 at the opening position. Therefore, when the module outer sealing plate 3 is removed, the opening is exposed outside the housing 10, facilitating the installation of the communication module 1 into the open cavity 21.

[0051] In some cases, the communication module 1 includes a baseband chip and a transceiver. The baseband chip is responsible for processing the signals and data of wireless communication, such as tasks like encoding / decoding, modulation / demodulation, and data processing. The transceiver, on the other hand, undertakes the transmission and reception of wireless signals, such as converting the digital signals processed by the baseband chip into radio frequency signals for transmission, and at the same time converting the received radio frequency signals back into digital signals. The two work together to ensure that the device can efficiently conduct wireless communication.

[0052] In some cases, the module interface 20 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus, translated into Chinese as Universal Serial Bus) interface, and the communication module 1 is a 4G (Fourth-Generation Long Term Evolution, translated into Chinese as Fourth Generation Mobile Communication Technology) module.

[0053] This configuration provides a fast and stable 4G communication solution for the communication requirements of the intelligent lawn mower. Through the design of the side module external structure 100, the 4G module can be conveniently connected to the control system of the intelligent lawn mower.

[0054] The USB interface, as the module interface 20, is located in the control system of the intelligent lawn mower, providing a standard connection point for communicating with the 4G module. The 4G module, as the communication module 1, is connected to the USB interface. This design simplifies the installation and replacement process of the communication module. The user can directly insert and fix the 4G module from the side through the open cavity 21 of the module installation slot 2 without opening the entire machine housing. The module outer sealing plate 3 covers the opening position of the module installation slot 2 to protect the 4G module from the external environment.

[0055] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the module outer sealing plate 3 is flush with the outer surface of the mechanical equipment housing 10.

[0056] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the module outer seal plate 3 is flush with the outer surface of the mechanical equipment housing 10, forming a waterproof side elevation. Such a design not only maintains the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the mechanical equipment, but also enhances the sealing performance of the equipment, significantly improving the waterproof performance. Even under harsh weather conditions such as rain and dew, moisture will flow down the surface of the module outer seal plate 3 to the ground, preventing moisture from entering the enclosed space and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the communication module 1. In some embodiments, the outer surface of the module outer seal plate is flush with the outer surface of the housing.

[0057] In some embodiments, a limiting portion 23 is provided inside the module installation groove 2, and the limiting portion 23 protrudes towards the communication module 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, a limiting portion 23 is specially designed inside the module installation groove 2, which protrudes towards the communication module 1. The main purpose of this design is to ensure the correct positioning and stable placement of the communication module 1 in the installation groove 2. The limiting portion 23 can be a series of protrusions or shape features, which cooperate with specific parts on the communication module 1, or simply contact the simple surface of the communication module 1, thereby preventing unnecessary movement or rotation of the module in the installation groove 2.

[0059] This limiting design not only improves the accuracy of the installation of the communication module 1, but also helps to protect the module from vibration or impact, especially under various dynamic conditions that may be encountered during the operation of the mechanical equipment. In addition, the presence of the limiting portion 23 also simplifies the installation process, because they provide clear guiding and positioning points for the communication module 1, enabling users to be faster and more convenient when installing or replacing the module.

[0060] In some embodiments, the number of the limiting portions 23 is multiple, and the multiple limiting portions 23 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the communication module 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 23 not only exists individually, but is also designed to be multiple, and is arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the communication module 1. This design provides omnidirectional support and positioning, ensuring that the communication module 1 can be firmly fixed at any position in the module installation groove 2. When the mechanical equipment works on a bumpy road surface, the multiple limiting portions 23 work together to effectively prevent the module from shifting or tilting due to vibration.

[0062] In addition, the limiting portions 23 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction reduce the excessive pressure on the local part of the communication module 1 through the evenly distributed force, which helps to maintain the long-term stability of the module and reduce wear. At the same time, this uniform support also helps to more easily align and position the communication module 1 during the installation or replacement of the module, improving the convenience and accuracy of the operation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 23 extends from the opening cavity 21 position of the module installation groove 2 towards the bottom position of the module installation groove 2, and the protruding thickness of the limiting portion 23 is gradually changed along its extending direction.

[0064] In this embodiment, the design of the limiting portion 23 has specific directivity and structural characteristics. The limiting portion 23 starts from the opening position of the module installation groove 2 and extends towards the bottom position of the module installation groove 2. This setting enables the limiting portion 23 to provide continuous guidance and support for the communication module 1 during the entire insertion process.

[0065] Among them, the limiting portion 23 adopts a gradually changing design of the protruding thickness along the extending direction. This gradually changing design makes the protruding part of the limiting portion 23 gradually increase in thickness from the opening position to the bottom position. Such a structure not only provides an initial loose guidance for the communication module 1 to facilitate the insertion of the module, but also as the module further enters the installation groove, the limiting portion 23 gradually provides a tighter fit to ensure the correct position and stability of the module in the installation groove.

[0066] The design of the limiting portion 23 also helps to prevent the communication module 1 from tilting or shifting during the insertion process, ensuring that the module can smoothly and accurately reach the predetermined position. At the same time, this gradually changing structure enhances the locking effect after the module is installed, making the communication module 1 more firmly fixed in the module installation groove 2 and effectively resisting displacement caused by vibration or impact.

[0067] In some embodiments, the communication module 1 includes a connected module body 11 and a plug-in port 12 for plugging and fixing with the module interface 20. The module body 11 is provided with an anti-fooling portion 13, and the anti-fooling portion 13 is used to limit the installation direction of the communication module 1 when it is installed in the module installation groove 2, and avoid incorrect installation of the communication module 1 in a physically blocking manner.

[0068] In this embodiment, the communication module 1 is designed to include a module body 11 and a plug-in port 12. The module body 11 is the core part of the communication module 1 and is responsible for implementing the communication function. The plug-in port 12 is used for plugging and fixing with the module interface 20 to ensure that the communication module 1 can stably establish a connection with the control system of the intelligent lawn mower.

[0069] The module body 11 is also specially designed with an anti-fooling portion 13. The main function of the anti-fooling portion 13 is to prevent the communication module 1 from having incorrect installation direction or incomplete plug-in during the installation process. By setting specific structural features on the module body 11, it is ensured that the communication module 1 can be inserted into the module installation groove 2 in the correct direction and position, thereby achieving accurate and reliable plugging.

[0070] In some embodiments, the module body 11 is provided with an identification portion for indicating the installation direction of the communication module 1 when it is installed in the module installation slot 2, so as to avoid incorrect installation of the communication module 1 in the form of marking and reminder.

[0071] In this embodiment, the identification portion is used to provide visual or tactile indication to help the user correctly identify the installation direction and position of the communication module 1. The identification portion may include, but is not limited to, color markings, shape indications, or text descriptions, which ensure that the user can operate quickly and accurately when installing the communication module 1, reducing the possibility of installation errors.

[0072] Whether it is the anti-misoperation portion 13 or the identification portion, these designs significantly improve the installation convenience and accuracy of the communication module 1, reduce communication failures caused by improper installation, and also improve the maintenance efficiency and reliability of the entire intelligent lawn mower. Through the settings of the anti-misoperation portion 13 and the identification portion, even non-professionals can easily install and replace the communication module 1, further enhancing the user experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, the communication module 1 is provided with an anti-misoperation portion 13; a limiting portion 23 that cooperates with the anti-misoperation portion 13 is provided inside the module installation slot 2.

[0074] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 23 also has an anti-misoperation design.

[0075] An anti-misoperation portion 13 is introduced in the design of the communication module 1, which is an important anti-error mechanism to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the communication module 1 during the installation process. The anti-misoperation portion 13 usually has unique shape or structural features that cooperate with the limiting portion 23 inside the module installation slot 2. The anti-misoperation portion 13 ensures that the communication module 1 can only be inserted into the module installation slot 2 in the correct direction and position. This cooperation mechanism prevents the reverse insertion or tilting of the module, thus avoiding installation errors and improving the accuracy of the installation process.

[0076] Optionally, when the communication module 1 is correctly aligned and inserted into the module installation slot 2, the interaction between the anti-misoperation portion 13 and the limiting portion 23 provides a firm lock to ensure that the module is fixed in position within the installation slot and is not easily displaced due to external vibration or impact. This locking function not only ensures the stable connection between the communication module 1 and the module interface 20, but also protects the module from the risk of accidental detachment or damage.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 For Figure 4 the anti-misoperation schematic diagram of the communication module in

[0078] In some embodiments, the anti-fooling portion 13 includes a protruding portion 131 located on the front of the communication module 1 and a protruding portion 132 located on the back of the communication module 1. The limiting portion 23 cooperates with the protruding portion 131 to achieve that when the protruding portion 131 faces the limiting portion 23, the protruding portion 131 cooperates with the limiting portion 23 and the communication module 1 is inserted into the module installation slot 2. When the protruding portion 132 faces the limiting portion 23, the protruding portion 132 is blocked by the limiting portion 23 and the communication module 1 cannot be inserted into the module installation slot 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, further limitations are imposed on the anti-fooling portion 13. The anti-fooling portion 13 consists of two parts: the protruding portion 131 and the protruding portion 132. The protruding portion 131 is located at the tail of the front of the communication module 1, while the protruding portion 132 is located at the head of the back of the communication module 1. This design ensures the directionality of the communication module 1 when inserted into the module installation slot 2 and prevents the possibility of reverse insertion.

[0080] The limiting portion 23 in this embodiment includes the limiting portion 23, which cooperates with the protruding portion 131. The design of the limiting portion 23 allows the protruding portion 131 to cooperate with it smoothly when facing it, indicating that the communication module 1 is being inserted into the module installation slot 2 in the correct direction. When the protruding portion 131 and the limiting portion 23 are correctly matched, the communication module 1 can be smoothly inserted into the module installation slot 2.

[0081] On the contrary, when the protruding portion 132 of the communication module 1 faces the limiting portion 23, the protruding portion 132 will be blocked by the limiting portion 23, preventing the communication module 1 from being further inserted. This blocking mechanism ensures that the communication module 1 will not be inserted into the module installation slot 2 in the wrong direction, thus avoiding incorrect installation.

[0082] Through this ingenious anti-fooling design, the installation process of the communication module 1 becomes more intuitive and user-friendly. When installing the communication module 1, the user can simply judge whether the module is correctly aligned by observing the interaction between the protruding portion 131 and the protruding portion 132 and the limiting portion 23. This design significantly improves the installation accuracy, reduces the possibility of installation errors, and also improves the reliability and stability of the entire intelligent lawn mower system.

[0083] In some embodiments, the side module external structure 100 further includes a seal 4 provided between the module outer cover 3 and the module installation slot 2.

[0084] In this embodiment, the design of the side module external structure 100 takes into account the possible impact of environmental factors on the communication module 1, and particularly adds a seal 4 between the opening position of the module installation slot 2 and the module outer cover 3. The design of this seal 4 aims to provide additional protection to prevent dust, moisture, and other external factors that may damage the communication module 1 from entering the module installation slot 2.

[0085] The seal 4 can be a sealing ring. The opening position of the module installation groove 2 can be in the form of an annular groove, which is convenient for the installation of the sealing ring. The sealing ring is installed in the annular groove. When the module outer cover plate 3 covers the opening position of the module installation groove 2, the sealing ring can be in close contact with the edges of the module outer cover plate 3 and the module installation groove 2, forming a sealed environment. Such a sealing design not only protects the communication module 1 from environmental factors, but also helps to maintain the electrical performance and mechanical stability of the module 1.

[0086] In some embodiments, the opening of the module installation groove 2 is downwardly deflected.

[0087] Specifically, there is an inclination angle between the end face of the opening cavity 21 of the module installation groove 2 and the vertical plane, and the opening axis of the module installation groove 2 is downwardly deflected starting from the horizontal plane with the inclination angle being the included angle between the opening axis and the horizontal plane.

[0088] In this embodiment, the design of the module installation groove 2 particularly considers the problem of preventing rainwater from flowing in. Specifically, the end face of the opening cavity 21 of the module installation groove 2 is not completely vertical, but is designed to have an inclination angle with the vertical plane. Such a design means that the opening axis of the module installation groove 2 is not horizontal, but is downwardly deflected at an inclination angle.

[0089] The main purpose of this downwardly inclined opening design is to utilize the principle of gravity to improve the effect of preventing rainwater from flowing in. When rainwater falls on the opening cavity 21 of the module installation groove 2, due to the downward inclination of the opening, even if part of the rainwater flows into the module installation groove 2, it will flow down along the inclined surface to the ground instead of flowing into the module installation groove 2. This design effectively reduces the rainwater entering the module installation groove 2, thereby protecting the communication module 1 from the risks of moisture and water damage.

[0090] In addition, this downwardly inclined opening design also helps to reduce the possibility of accidental water ingress during the installation or replacement of the module. When users perform these operations, even in a rainy environment, they don't have to worry about rainwater entering the module installation groove 2 through the opening cavity 21.

[0091] In a specific implementation manner, the mechanical equipment provided in this application includes a housing 10. The side part of the housing 10 is provided with the above-mentioned side part module external structure 100. The mechanical equipment further includes a main control board located inside the housing 10. There is a module interface 20 on the main control board. The main control board is located near the side part of the mechanical equipment. The module interface 20 passes through the module connection hole 22 in the side part module external structure 100. Since the communication module 1 is plugged and fixed to the module interface 20, there is no need to set up a wire harness to connect the communication module 1 to the main control board.

[0092] The mechanical equipment should have all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned external structure 100 of the side module, which will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0093] In some embodiments, the mechanical equipment is a lawn mowing robot.

[0094] It should be noted that many components mentioned in this application are common standard components or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or by conventional experimental methods.

[0095] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0096] The above has introduced the mechanical equipment provided in this application in detail.
