Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lawn mowers, and in particular to a quick-connect auxiliary lawn mowing mechanism and an intelligent lawn mower thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's living standards, lawn maintenance and management, as an important component of urban greening and home beautification, are receiving increasing attention. Smart lawn mowers are an indispensable tool for lawn care, and their performance and efficiency directly impact the lawn's aesthetics and maintenance costs. Traditional smart lawn mowers are often able to effectively cut grass in the center of the lawn, but are unable to cut grass along the sides or between obstacles such as corners, fences, steps, and trees. This is primarily due to design limitations of traditional smart lawn mowers.

[0003] In the related art, an auxiliary mowing mechanism is equipped on the smart lawn mower to cut the grass on the side of the body, such as an edging mechanism. As an important external module of the smart lawn mower body, the edging mechanism is usually used to clean the grass in the boundary area. However, there are many inconveniences in the existing connection method between the edging mechanism and the smart lawn mower body. For example, the traditional connection method is insufficient in stability and is prone to loose connection due to factors such as vibration and impact, which in turn affects the electrical connection and signal transmission between the edging mechanism and the lawn mower body, resulting in unsatisfactory mowing effect.

[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN115777327B discloses a lawn mowing robot comprising a robot body and an edge trimming mechanism. The edge trimming mechanism includes a mounting frame, which comprises a vertical frame and a connecting portion fixedly connected to the vertical frame. The edge trimming mechanism connects to the robot body by inserting the connecting portion into a mounting hole in the robot body.

[0005] This type of connection method is prone to loosening due to vibration, impact and other factors of the lawn mower during long-term use, affecting the stability of the connection between the edge trimming mechanism and the robot body. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, this specification provides a quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and an intelligent lawn mower thereof to facilitate the connection between the auxiliary mowing mechanism and the main body of the intelligent lawn mower.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is provided for an intelligent lawn mower, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism comprising:

[0008] A cutting assembly including a cutter head cover and a cutter head, wherein the cutter head rotates to form a cutting surface;

[0009] The drive component has a top and a bottom arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, the cutter head cover is connected to the bottom of the drive component, the cutter head is connected to the power output end of the drive component and is located on the side of the cutter head cover away from the drive component, and the rotation center of the cutter head is located on the rotation axis of the drive component;

[0010] A connecting portion is provided in an area near the top of the driving component, and the connecting portion is used to be detachably connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower along a vertical direction.

[0011] The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure has a driving component having a top and a bottom that are arranged relative to each other in the vertical direction, and the vertical direction is perpendicular to the cutting surface. The connecting portion is connected to the top of the driving component, and the cutting assembly is connected to the bottom of the driving component. The connecting portion is detachably connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower in the vertical direction. This connection method allows the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism to be connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower more easily with the help of its own gravity; and it is also convenient for the user to apply force during disassembly to separate the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism from the main body of the lawn mower, reducing the time and energy consumed by the user when installing and disassembling the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism.

[0012] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is provided for an intelligent lawn mower, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism comprising:

[0013] A cutting assembly including a cutter head cover and a cutter head, wherein the cutter head rotates to form a cutting surface;

[0014] The drive component has a top and a bottom arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, the cutter head cover is connected to the bottom of the drive component, the cutter head is connected to the power output end of the drive component and is located on the side of the cutter head cover away from the drive component, and the rotation center of the cutter head is located on the rotation axis of the drive component;

[0015] a connecting portion, provided in an area near the top of the driving component, the connecting portion being used to connect to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower;

[0016] Wherein, the connecting portion includes:

[0017] A connecting shell, comprising a top wall, a bottom opening arranged opposite to the top wall in a vertical direction, and a side wall connected to the top wall;

[0018] a first connection terminal, disposed in the connection housing, for establishing a communication connection and / or an electrical connection with the main body of the intelligent lawn mower;

[0019] The plug is arranged in the side wall of the connecting shell and is used to be plugged into the main body of the intelligent lawn mower. The plug extends in a vertical direction.

[0020] The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure has a driving component having a top and a bottom that are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, and the vertical direction is perpendicular to the cutting surface. The connecting portion is connected to the top of the driving component, and the cutting assembly is connected to the bottom of the driving component. The design of the connecting shell includes a top wall and a bottom opening that are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, and the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism can be connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower through the bottom opening. This connection method allows the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism to be connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower more easily with the help of its own gravity; and it is also convenient for the user to apply force during disassembly to separate the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism from the main body of the lawn mower, reducing the time and energy consumed by the user when installing and disassembling the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism.

[0021] Secondly, during the operation of the smart lawn mower, factors such as vibration and impact from the machine itself, as well as the centrifugal force generated by the rotating cutter disc, may affect the connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the main body of the smart lawn mower. However, in the present disclosure, because the insert extends vertically, perpendicular to the cutting surface, this layout can effectively resist the influence of these external factors and prevent the connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the main body of the smart lawn mower from loosening. This structural design significantly improves the reliability of the connection, ensures the stable operation of the smart lawn mower under various operating conditions, and reduces the failures and maintenance costs caused by loose connections.

[0022] Furthermore, the first connection terminal provides a direct power connection for the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism. This eliminates the need for a separate power source for the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism, simplifying power management for the entire system. This integrated power connection not only improves the integrity and coordination of the smart mower system, but also reduces potential risks associated with additional power cables, such as entanglement and damage. This design also enhances the overall appearance of the smart mower system, further improving the user experience.

[0023] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the inserts is two, the two inserts are arranged along a first direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the two inserts are axially symmetrically distributed about the first plane;

[0024] The first plane is perpendicular to the first direction and passes through the rotation axis of the driving component.

[0025] The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure has two inserts, which are arranged along a first direction and are axially symmetrically distributed about a first plane. This design optimizes the balance and symmetry of the connection between the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism and the main body of the smart mower. Because the first plane passes through the rotation axis of the drive component, this symmetrical layout enables the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism to maintain a good balance when installed on the main body of the smart mower. Moreover, during the operation of the smart mower, especially when driving on uneven terrain or when the cutter disc rotates at high speed, forces and vibrations in various directions are generated. The two inserts can better disperse these forces and prevent the connection from loosening or being damaged due to excessive force on a single point.

[0026] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a dimension of the insert in the first direction is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.

[0027] The quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure limits the size of the insert in the first direction (greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm). Inserts within this numerical range can ensure good cooperation with the main body of the smart lawn mower and achieve a reliable mechanical connection without adding unnecessary volume or weight due to excessive size. This helps to optimize the structural design of the entire smart lawn mower and improve its portability and operational flexibility.

[0028] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first connecting terminal is disposed in the top wall;

[0029] The side wall of the connecting housing includes a first side wall and a second side wall that are opposite to each other, and a third side wall connected to the same side of the first side wall and the second side wall, wherein the third side wall is connected to the driving component;

[0030] The connecting shell also has a side opening;

[0031] There are two plug-ins, namely a first plug-in and a second plug-in. The first plug-in and the second plug-in are respectively connected to the other side of the first side wall and the second side wall. There is a gap between the first plug-in and the second plug-in, and the gap between the first plug-in and the second plug-in forms the side opening of the connecting shell.

[0032] In this embodiment, the presence of the side opening allows the user to intuitively see the corresponding connection positions between the connection shell and the main body of the intelligent lawn mower, thereby making it easier to perform alignment operations.

[0033] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the inserting piece and the connecting shell are integrally formed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the design of integrally forming the insert and the connection housing improves the integrity and structural strength of the component, reduces errors and looseness that may occur during the assembly process, and enhances the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0035] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the top wall is flush with the top end surface of the driving component.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top wall is flush with the top end surface of the driving component, making the appearance of the entire quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism neater and more beautiful, reducing the safety hazards and interference with operation that may be caused by the protruding parts, and also facilitating installation and layout on the smart lawn mower, thereby improving the integrity and coordination of the product.

[0037] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between the insert and the third side wall is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0038] In this embodiment, the distance between the insert and the third side wall is limited (greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm), ensuring that there is sufficient space inside the connecting shell to cooperate with the smart lawn mower body, avoiding problems such as installation difficulties caused by a too small distance or loose connections caused by an excessive distance.

[0039] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first connecting terminal is connected to a connection between the top wall and the third side wall;

[0040] The top wall protrudes from a side edge of the first inserting piece and the second inserting piece away from the third side wall.

[0041] In this embodiment, the protruding top wall can play a certain guiding and protective role, preventing the internal structure of the connection shell from being damaged by moisture.

[0042] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a size of the connecting housing in the first direction is larger than a size of the driving component in the first direction.

[0043] In this embodiment, the larger connecting housing helps maintain balance between the top and bottom of the drive unit. Because the connecting housing is larger than the drive unit in the first dimension, it provides additional support and balance on both sides of the drive unit. This balanced design is crucial for stable operation of the drive unit, especially when centrifugal forces can cause the drive unit to shake or vibrate at high-speed rotation of the cutterhead. The larger connecting housing effectively offsets this asymmetric force, ensuring stability of the entire mechanism during rotation and improving mowing uniformity and efficiency.

[0044] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is provided for an intelligent lawn mower, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism comprising:

[0045] A cutting assembly including a cutter head cover and a cutter head, wherein the cutter head rotates to form a cutting surface;

[0046] The drive component has a top and a bottom arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, the cutter head cover is connected to the bottom of the drive component, the cutter head is connected to the power output end of the drive component and is located on the side of the cutter head cover away from the drive component, and the rotation center of the cutter head is located on the rotation axis of the drive component;

[0047] a connecting portion connected to an area near the top of the driving component, the connecting portion being used to connect to a main body of the intelligent lawn mower;

[0048] Wherein, the connecting portion includes:

[0049] The connecting body is provided with a slot, and the slot extends in a vertical direction;

[0050] The first connection terminal is provided on the connection body, and the first connection terminal is used to complete a communication connection and / or an electrical connection with the body of the intelligent lawn mower.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a ratio of a dimension of the connecting portion in the vertical direction to a dimension of the driving component in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.8.

[0052] In this embodiment, by limiting the ratio of the vertical dimension of the connecting portion to the vertical dimension of the drive component to 0.5 or greater, the center of gravity of the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is lowered. This lower center of gravity allows the auxiliary mowing mechanism to better withstand the bumps and vibrations caused by terrain changes, reducing the shaking and instability caused by an excessively high center of gravity. Furthermore, limiting the ratio of the vertical dimension of the connecting portion to the vertical dimension of the drive component to 0.8 or less reduces interference with the cutting assembly of the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism.

[0053] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an intelligent lawn mower capable of walking along a forward direction on a traveling surface, comprising:

[0054] The main body comprises a fuselage and a quick-connect module provided on the fuselage;

[0055] As described in the first to third aspects of the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is detachably connected to the quick-connect module via the connecting portion.

[0056] According to a fifth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an intelligent lawn mower capable of walking along a forward direction on a traveling surface, comprising:

[0057] The main body comprises a fuselage and a quick-connect module provided on the fuselage;

[0058] The quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism as described in the second aspect;

[0059] Wherein, a mounting slot is provided on the body, the quick-connect module is connected to the mounting slot, and a gap is provided between the quick-connect module and a portion of the slot wall of the mounting slot, the gap forming a slot adapted to fit the insert;

[0060] The quick-connect module includes a quick-connect body and a second connecting terminal provided on the quick-connect body, wherein the second connecting terminal is adapted to the first connecting terminal.

[0061] The smart lawn mower disclosed herein utilizes a removable connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the quick-connect module on the main body of the smart lawn mower, enabling rapid connection and removal between the external module and the main body of the smart lawn mower. Specifically, a plug-in and corresponding slot are provided, which extend vertically and insert into the slot to form a stable mechanical connection. This structural design not only effectively prevents the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism from loosening due to vibration during operation, but also ensures a secure and stable connection with the main body of the smart lawn mower, improving the reliability of the smart lawn mower in complex terrain and working environments.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the fuselage has a first side panel and a second side panel arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the fuselage, the width direction of the fuselage being perpendicular to the forward direction, and a portion of the first side panel or the second side panel is recessed toward a central area of ​​the fuselage to form the mounting groove;

[0063] The mounting slot comprises a first slot wall and a second slot wall arranged opposite to each other in the forward direction, and a third slot wall connected to the same side of the first slot wall and the second slot wall, wherein the third slot wall is perpendicular to the width direction of the fuselage;

[0064] A gap is provided between the quick-connect module and a portion of the third slot wall, and the gap forms the slot.

[0065] In this embodiment, the mounting slot, formed by the first or second side panel recessed toward the center of the body, is an open slot. This design significantly improves user convenience when installing the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism. In actual use, the user will need to connect the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism to the main body of the smart mower. Because the mounting slot is open, the user can intuitively see the internal structure and positioning features of the slot, making alignment easier.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a dimension of the slot in the forward direction is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm.

[0067] In this embodiment, the size of the slot in the forward direction is adapted to the size of the insert in the first direction, thereby optimizing the connection effect between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the intelligent lawn mower body and improving the reliability of the connection.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting groove further comprises a groove bottom connecting the first groove wall, the second groove wall and the third groove wall, and a top notch disposed opposite to the groove bottom;

[0069] The quick-connect body has a bottom end and a top end arranged opposite to each other in a vertical direction, the vertical direction is perpendicular to the traveling surface, the bottom end of the quick-connect body is connected to the groove bottom, and the top end of the quick-connect body is provided with the second connecting terminal.

[0070] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the quick-connect body is connected to the bottom of the groove, and a second connecting terminal is provided at the top, so that the quick-connect module can be installed in the installation groove more stably, while providing good conditions for the docking between the second connecting terminal on the quick-connect module and the first connecting terminal on the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a dimension of the quick-connect body in a width direction of the body is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0072] In this embodiment, the size of the quick-connect body in the width direction of the body is adapted to the distance between the insert and the third side wall, so that the quick-connect body can be just inserted into the space enclosed by the insert and the third side wall, completing a stable connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the intelligent lawn mower body.

[0073] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the fuselage has a first end and a second end that are oppositely disposed in the forward direction;

[0074] The subject also includes:

[0075] The front wheels and the rear wheels are both connected to the fuselage, and the front wheels and the rear wheels are spaced apart in the forward direction;

[0076] Wherein, the quick connection module is located between the first section of the front wheel and the first section of the rear wheel;

[0077] The first tangent plane of the front wheel is perpendicular to the forward direction and passes through a first end point of the front wheel, where the first end point of the front wheel is defined as a point where an orthographic projection of the front wheel on the traveling surface is closest to an orthographic projection of the second end on the traveling surface;

[0078] The first section of the rear wheel is perpendicular to the forward direction and passes through the first endpoint of the rear wheel, and the first endpoint of the rear wheel is defined as the closest point of the orthographic projection of the rear wheel on the traveling surface to the orthographic projection of the first end on the traveling surface.

[0079] In this embodiment, the quick-connect module, and, by confining the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism, between the front and rear wheels, optimizes the smart mower's structural layout. This layout helps ensure the stability and effectiveness of the entire smart mower system during mowing, thereby improving mowing uniformity and lawn aesthetics.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the front wheel on the travel surface is located within the orthographic projection of the fuselage on the travel surface, and the orthographic projection of the rear wheel on the travel surface is located outside the orthographic projection of the fuselage on the travel surface;

[0081] The distance between the quick-connect module and the first section of the front wheel is smaller than the distance between the quick-connect module and the first section of the rear wheel.

[0082] In this embodiment, the quick-connect module is closer to the front wheel, that is, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism is closer to the front wheel. Under this layout, the rear wheel can be prevented from interfering with the mowing operation of the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism.

[0084] The subject also includes:

[0085] The front wheels and the rear wheels are both connected to the fuselage, and the front wheels and the rear wheels are spaced apart in the forward direction;

[0086] The orthographic projection of the front wheel on the running plane is located within the orthographic projection of the fuselage on the running plane.

The first front wheel and the second front wheel are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the fuselage, and the second front wheel is located on a side of the first front wheel away from the first side panel.

[0087] There are two rear wheels, namely a first rear wheel and a second rear wheel, the first rear wheel is arranged on a side of the first side plate away from the second side plate, and the second rear wheel is arranged on a side of the second side plate away from the first side plate;

[0088] The quick-connect module is located between the second section of the first front wheel and the second section of the first rear wheel;

[0089] The second tangent plane of the first front wheel is perpendicular to the width direction of the fuselage and passes through the second end point of the first front wheel, where the second end point of the first front wheel is defined as the closest point of the orthographic projection of the first side panel of the fuselage on the running plane to the orthographic projection of the first side panel of the fuselage on the running plane;

[0090] The second section of the first rear wheel is perpendicular to the width direction of the fuselage and passes through the second end point of the first rear wheel, and the second end point of the first rear wheel is defined as the closest point of the orthographic projection on the traveling surface to the orthographic projection of the first side panel on the traveling surface.

[0091] In this embodiment, the quick-connect module is located between the second section of the first front wheel and the second section of the first rear wheel. In this layout, the front and rear wheels are located on either side of the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism, and together they support the mechanism. This not only improves the stability of the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism during operation, but also reduces shaking caused by terrain changes, ensuring uniform and consistent mowing results.

[0092] According to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an intelligent lawn mower capable of walking along a forward direction on a traveling surface, comprising:

[0093] The main body comprises a fuselage and a quick-connect module provided on the fuselage;

[0117] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism for use with a smart mower. The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism can be detachably connected to the main body of the smart mower. The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism can cut grass on the side of the smart mower main body.

[0118] The following is a detailed description of the various parts of the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0119] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure includes a cutting assembly 100 , a driving component 200 and a connecting portion 300 .

[0120] The cutting assembly 100 includes a cutterhead cover 110 and a cutterhead 120. The cutterhead 120 rotates to form a cutting surface. It should be noted that when the present disclosure refers to a cutting surface, the cutting surface is a flat surface. The cutterhead 120 can be a circular disc or other shape. Alternatively, the cutterhead 120 can be a metal cutterhead.

[0121] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive component 200 has a top and a bottom that are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction Z, which is perpendicular to the cutting surface. The cutterhead cover 110 is connected to the bottom of the drive component 200. The cutterhead 120 is connected to the power output end of the drive component 200 and is located on the side of the cutterhead cover 110 away from the drive component 200. The rotation center of the cutterhead 120 is located on the rotation axis of the drive component 200. The drive component 200 may include a motor, and the cutterhead 120 is connected to the output shaft of the motor, which extends along the vertical direction Z. The motor can provide driving force to the cutterhead 120, thereby driving the cutterhead 120 to rotate and form the cutting surface.

[0122] The connecting portion 300 is provided in an area near the top of the driving component 200 , and the connecting portion 300 is used to be detachably connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower along the vertical direction Z.

[0123] In the present disclosure, the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism connects to the main body of the smart mower via a connector 300, establishing a communication and electrical connection with the main body. The drive component 200 receives power and control signals from the main body of the smart mower to start and stop the mower. This quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism allows for quick installation and removal, enabling plug-and-play operation with the main body of the smart mower.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, further, the connecting portion 300 includes a connecting housing 310 , a first connecting terminal 320 and an inserting piece 330 .

[0125] The connection housing 310 includes a top wall 311, a bottom opening disposed opposite to the top wall 311 in the vertical direction Z, and side walls connected to the top wall 311. The connection housing 310 is a hollow structure having at least a bottom opening. The connection housing 310 may be a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure.

[0126] The first connection terminal 320 is disposed within the connection housing 310 and is used to establish a communication connection and / or an electrical connection with the main body of the smart lawn mower. Optionally, the first connection terminal 320 is disposed within the top wall 311. The first connection terminal 320 may include a power interface, a communication interface, and a fault communication interface. The number of different types of interfaces may be multiple, such as two power interfaces, two communication interfaces, and one fault communication interface, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0127] The inserting piece 330 is disposed in the side wall of the connecting housing 310 and is used for plugging with the main body of the intelligent lawn mower. The inserting piece 330 extends along the vertical direction Z. The inserting piece 330 can be substantially a rectangular strip.

[0128] Optionally, there are two plugs 330, which are arranged along the first direction Y, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z, and the two plugs 330 are axially symmetrical about the first plane; the first plane is perpendicular to the first direction Y and passes through the rotation axis of the driving component 200.

[0129] like Figure 3 As shown, the dimension D1 of the insert 330 in the first direction Y is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. Specifically, the dimension D1 of the insert 330 in the first direction Y can be 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, or 8 mm, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that the dimensions of different parts of the insert 330 in the first direction Y can be the same or different, but must all be within the range of 3 mm to 8 mm.

[0130] Optionally, a dimension of the connection housing 310 in the first direction Y is greater than a dimension of the driving component 200 in the first direction Y.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sidewalls of the connecting housing 310 include a first sidewall 312 and a second sidewall 313 that are disposed opposite each other, and a third sidewall 314 connected to the same side of the first sidewall 312 and the second sidewall 313. The third sidewall 314 is connected to the driving component 200, that is, the connecting portion 300 is connected to the driving component 200 via the third sidewall 314. Optionally, the connecting portion 300 can be connected to an area of ​​the sidewall of the driving component 200 near the top. The top wall 311 of the connecting portion 300 can be flush with the top end surface of the driving component 200.

[0132] Furthermore, the connecting housing 310 also has a side opening. There are two tabs 330, namely a first tab 331 and a second tab 332. The first tab 331 and the second tab 332 are connected to the other side of the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313, respectively. That is, the first tab 331 and the second tab 332 are both arranged opposite the third side wall 314. A gap is formed between the first tab 331 and the second tab 332, and the gap between the first tab 331 and the second tab 332 forms the side opening of the connecting housing 310. Thus, the first tab 331, the second tab 332, the first side wall 312, the second side wall 313, the third side wall 314, and the top wall 311 form an open accommodating cavity that can be used to accommodate corresponding connecting structures on the intelligent lawn mower body, thereby completing the detachable connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the intelligent lawn mower body.

[0133] Optionally, the inserting piece 330 is integrally formed with the connecting housing 310. The first connecting terminal 320 is connected to the connection between the top wall 311 and the third side wall 314. The top wall 311 protrudes from an edge of the first inserting piece 331 and the second inserting piece 332 away from the third side wall 314.

[0134] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance D2 between the insert 330 and the third sidewall 314 is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. Specifically, the distance between the two can be 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8 mm, 8.5 mm, 9 mm, 9.5 mm, or 10 mm, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that the distances between different parts of the insert 330 and the third sidewall 314 can be equal or different, but must all be within the range of 5 mm to 10 mm.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ratio of the size of the connecting portion 300 in the vertical direction Z to the size of the driving component 200 in the vertical direction Z is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.8. Specifically, the ratio of the size of the connecting portion 300 in the vertical direction Z to the size of the driving component 200 in the vertical direction Z may be 0.5, 0.51, 0.52, 0.53, 0.54, 0.55, 0.56, 0.57, 0.58, 0.59, 0.6, 0.61, 0.62, 0.63, 0.64, 0.65, 0.66, 0.67, 0.68, 0.69, 0.7, 0.71, 0.72, 0.73, 0.74, 0.75, 0.76, 0.77, 0.78, 0.79 or 0.8, but is not limited thereto.

[0136] The quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism provided by the present disclosure has a driving component 200 having a top and a bottom that are arranged relative to each other in the vertical direction Z, and the vertical direction Z is perpendicular to the cutting surface. The connecting portion 300 is connected to the top of the driving component 200, and the cutting assembly 100 is connected to the bottom of the driving component 200. The design of the connecting shell 310 includes a top wall 311 and a bottom opening that are arranged relative to each other in the vertical direction Z, and the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism can be connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower through the bottom opening. This connection method allows the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism to be connected to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower more easily with the help of its own gravity; and it is also convenient for the user to apply force during disassembly to separate the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism from the main body of the lawn mower, reducing the time and energy consumed by the user when installing and disassembling the quick-connect assisted mowing mechanism.

[0137] Secondly, during the operation of the smart lawn mower, factors such as vibration and impact from the machine itself, as well as the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cutter disc 120, may affect the connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the main body of the smart lawn mower. However, in the present disclosure, because the insert 330 extends along the vertical direction Z, its extension direction is perpendicular to the cutting surface. Under this layout, it can effectively resist the influence of these external factors and prevent the connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the main body of the smart lawn mower from loosening. This structural design significantly improves the reliability of the connection, ensures the stable operation of the lawn mower under various operating conditions, and reduces the failure and maintenance costs caused by loose connections.

[0138] Furthermore, the first connection terminal 320 provides a direct power connection for the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism. This eliminates the need for a separate power source for the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism, simplifying power management for the entire system. This integrated power connection not only improves the integrity and coordination of the smart mower system but also reduces potential risks associated with additional power cords, such as entanglement and damage. Furthermore, this design enhances the overall appearance of the smart mower system, further improving the user experience.

[0139] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting portion includes a connecting body and a first connecting terminal. The connecting body defines a slot (not shown) extending vertically. The first connecting terminal is disposed on the connecting body and is configured to establish a communication connection and / or an electrical connection with the main body of the smart lawn mower.

[0143] The cutting assembly 100 includes a cutterhead cover 110 and a cutterhead 120. The cutterhead 120 rotates to form a cutting surface. It should be noted that when the present disclosure refers to a cutting surface, the cutting surface is a flat surface. The cutterhead 120 can be a circular disc or other shaped cutterhead 120. Alternatively, the cutterhead 120 can be a metal cutterhead.

[0144] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive component 200 has a top and a bottom that are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction Z, which is perpendicular to the cutting surface.

The cutterhead 120 is connected to the power output end of the drive component 200 and is located on the side of the cutterhead cover 110 away from the drive component 200. The rotation center of the cutterhead 120 is located on the rotation axis of the drive component 200. The drive component 200 may include a motor, and the cutterhead 120 is connected to the output shaft of the motor, which extends along the vertical direction Z. The motor can provide driving force to the cutterhead 120, thereby driving the cutterhead 120 to rotate and form the cutting surface.

[0145] The connecting portion 300 is connected to a region near the top of the driving component 200 , and the connecting portion 300 is used to connect to the main body of the intelligent lawn mower.

[0155] Furthermore, the connecting housing 310 also has a side opening. There are two tabs 330, namely a first tab 331 and a second tab 332. The first tab 331 and the second tab 332 are connected to the other side of the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313, respectively. That is, the first tab 331 and the second tab 332 are both arranged opposite the third side wall 314. A gap is formed between the first tab 331 and the second tab 332, and the gap between the first tab 331 and the second tab 332 forms the side opening of the connecting housing 310. Thus, the first tab 331, the second tab 332, the first side wall 312, the second side wall 313, the third side wall 314, and the top wall 311 form an open accommodating cavity that can be used to accommodate corresponding connecting structures on the intelligent lawn mower body, thereby completing the detachable connection between the quick-connect auxiliary mowing mechanism and the intelligent lawn mower body.
