[0049] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0050] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless specifically defined and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" and "linking" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixed connection or detachable connection; can be mechanical connection or electrical connection; can be direct connection or indirect connection through intermediate medium; can be internal connection of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 The outdoor working vehicle shown is an embodiment of the present application, which comprises a frame 1, an operation assembly 3, a seat 4, a power output assembly 5, a walking assembly 6 and a power supply system 2.
[0052] The frame 1 is arranged in a linear direction, and the operation assembly 3, the seat 4, the power output assembly 5, the walking assembly 6 and the power supply system 2 are arranged at different positions on the frame 1.
[0053] The operation assembly 3 comprises a left operation lever 31 arranged on the left side of the outdoor working vehicle and a right operation lever 32 arranged on the right side of the outdoor working vehicle, and the operator controls the outdoor working vehicle to move forward, backward or turn by controlling the left operation lever 31 and the right operation lever 32. The operation assembly 3 can also be a steering wheel capable of controlling the outdoor working vehicle.
[0054] In some embodiments, control buttons for adjusting the running speed of the power output assembly 5 and the walking assembly 6 are arranged on the operation assembly 3, so as to facilitate the operator to quickly and accurately control the running of the outdoor working vehicle. Further, buttons for adjusting the brightness of the vehicle light of the outdoor working vehicle, buttons for adjusting the rotating speed of the cutter and the like can also be arranged on the operation assembly 3.
[0055] In some embodiments, a vehicle-mounted air blower can also be arranged at the front end of the frame 1, which is used to blow fallen leaves on the lawn, so as to reduce the disturbance to the operation of the outdoor working vehicle. Further, buttons for controlling the steering and blowing amount of the vehicle-mounted air blower are arranged on the operation assembly 3, so that the operator can control the vehicle-mounted air blower on the vehicle during driving operation, without getting off the vehicle.
[0056] The seat 4 is arranged on the frame 1, and the left operating lever 31 and the right operating lever 32 are arranged close to the seat 4 and respectively on the left and right sides of the seat 4, so that an operator sitting on the seat 4 controls the left operating lever 31 and the right operating lever 32 to control the operation of the outdoor working vehicle.
[0057] The power output assembly 5 is a workpiece for realizing a tool function. In an embodiment, the outdoor working vehicle is a riding mower, and the power output assembly 5 is a cutting assembly arranged below the frame 1. The power output assembly 5 is used to output power to realize the mowing function of the riding mower.
[0058] In some embodiments, the cutting assembly includes a cutter head, a mowing element, and a cutting motor. The cutting motor is controlled by a control button on the operating assembly 3, and the mowing element is used to cut vegetation such as grass when rotating at a high speed. For example, the mowing element is a blade for cutting vegetation on a lawn. The cutter head is formed with a mowing space for accommodating the mowing element, and the mowing element is at least partially located in the mowing space.
[0059] The power output assembly 5 can also be detached from the outdoor working vehicle. It can be understood that the power output assembly 5 can be replaced by other assemblies to meet the use requirements of different garden operations. Therefore, the outdoor garden mower can not only cut vegetation, but also replace the cutting assembly with a snow shoveling, snow sweeping, snow blowing, or flushing function component. Those skilled in the art should be able to adaptively replace various function components without creative labor, and all of the above should be included in the protection scope of the present embodiment.
[0060] When the cutting assembly is replaced by a snow shoveling, snow sweeping, or snow blowing function component, the power supply system 2 of the outdoor working vehicle of the present application can also power the above-mentioned snow shoveling, snow sweeping, or snow blowing function component.
[0061] The walking assembly 6 includes walking wheels arranged on the frame 1 and walking motors for driving the walking wheels. The walking wheels are arranged on both sides of the frame 1, so that the center of gravity of the outdoor working vehicle is kept within the frame 1, thereby reducing the probability of the outdoor working vehicle rolling over when walking.
[0062] In an embodiment, the number of walking wheels is set to four, including two front walking wheels 61 and two rear walking wheels 62. The front walking wheels 61 can be universal wheels, and the walking motors are drivingly connected to the rear walking wheels 62 to drive the rear walking wheels 62 to rotate. The two rear walking wheels 62 are matched with the walking motors, and the rotation speeds of the two walking motors can be the same or different. When the operator drives the outdoor working vehicle straight, the rotation speeds of the two walking motors are substantially the same. When the operator drives the outdoor working vehicle to turn, the rotation speeds of the two walking motors are different, and the outdoor working vehicle turns to the side with the lower rotation speed of the walking motor. The diameter of the front walking wheel 61 is smaller than the diameter of the rear walking wheel 62.
[0063] The power supply system 2 is arranged at the rear of the vehicle frame 1, and includes a plurality of battery packs 22, a power management device 23 (power management module) configured to unify and control the charging and discharging processes of the plurality of battery packs 22, and a battery compartment 21 for mounting the plurality of battery packs 22. The plurality of battery packs 22 are electrically connected to external terminals 213 of the battery compartment 21 through terminals thereon to supply power to the outdoor working vehicle. The plurality of battery packs 22 include first-type battery packs 22 and second-type battery packs 22. Further, the battery compartment 21 can be configured to accommodate the first-type battery packs 22 and the second-type battery packs 22 of different capacities or sizes to increase the adaptability of the outdoor working vehicle to different types of battery packs 22. At least one of the battery packs 22 can be detached from the outdoor working vehicle to supply power to other handheld power tools or energy storage devices, increasing the versatility of the battery packs 22. In some embodiments, the first-type battery packs include ternary lithium battery packs, and the second-type battery packs include iron phosphate lithium battery packs.
[0064] Compared with conventional energy sources using fossil fuels, the outdoor working vehicle of the present application is more environmentally friendly and more in line with long-term development planning.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the power supply system 2 includes the battery compartment 21, the battery packs 22, and the power management module. The battery packs 22 are assembled in the battery compartment 21. The power management module is arranged outside the battery compartment 21. The power management module includes a housing body 231 including a first accommodating cavity 232 and a second accommodating cavity 233 separated from each other. The first accommodating cavity 232 is configured to accommodate at least one circuit board. The circuit board is provided with a connection portion for connecting with external devices. The connection portion extends to the second accommodating cavity 233. The second accommodating cavity 233 is configured as a wiring area for electrically and / or signal connecting the connection portion in the second accommodating cavity 233 with external devices.
[0066] By separating the first accommodating cavity 232 for accommodating the circuit board and the second accommodating cavity 233 for wiring with the circuit board, the worker only needs to perform relevant wiring or unwiring operations in the second accommodating cavity 233 when wiring, without touching the circuit board, thereby protecting the circuit board and electrical elements thereon.
[0067] As Figures 6-11As shown, in some embodiments, two circuit boards are disposed within the first accommodating cavity 232, one of which is configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying energy to the travel assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. The connection portion on the first circuit board 24 is configured as a first connection portion 242, and the connection portion on the second circuit board 25 is configured as a second connection portion 252. The first connection portion 242 can extend from the first accommodating cavity 232 to the second accommodating cavity 233, and the second connection portion 252 can extend from the first accommodating cavity 232 to the second accommodating cavity 233. Thus, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are disposed in the first accommodating cavity 232, with the first connection portion 242 of the first circuit board 24 and the second connection portion 252 of the second circuit board 25 extending into the second accommodating cavity 233. This allows the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 to establish electrical and / or signal connections with external devices through their respective connection portions, while reducing direct physical contact between the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 and preventing them from being bumped.
[0068] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing body 231 is formed with a first stepped surface 2321 and a second stepped surface 2322 within the first accommodating cavity 232. The first stepped surface 2321 is provided with a first through-hole 23211, and the second stepped surface 2322 is provided with a second through-hole 23221. The first connecting portion 242 can extend from the first accommodating cavity 232 to the second accommodating cavity 233 through the first through-hole 23211, and the second connecting portion 252 can extend from the first accommodating cavity 232 to the second accommodating cavity 233 through the second through-hole 23221. The first through hole 23211 and the second through hole 23221 are both connected to the first accommodating cavity 232 and the second accommodating cavity 233. The first connecting portion 242 passes through the first through hole 23211 and is partially located in the second accommodating cavity 233. The second connecting portion 252 passes through the second through hole 23221 and is partially located in the second accommodating cavity 233. In this way, the first connecting portion 242 and the second connecting portion 252 are extended to the second accommodating cavity 233 through different first step surfaces 2321 and second step surfaces 2322 respectively. This helps to independently connect the first connecting portion 242 and the second connecting portion 252, so that the wiring harness connection is regular.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first through hole 23211 and the second through hole 23221 are located above the second accommodating cavity 233. This prevents liquid or water droplets in the second accommodating cavity 233 from flowing into the first accommodating cavity 232, thereby preventing contamination of the first circuit board, the second circuit board, or other components in the first accommodating cavity 232.
[0070] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the first through hole 23211 is located in the first connection area 2331 and the other end is located in the first step surface 2321. One end of the second through hole 23221 is located in the second connection area 2332 and the other end is located in the second step surface 2322.
[0071] like Figures 8-11 As shown, in some embodiments, the first stepped surface 2321 and the second stepped surface 2322 have different heights, and the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are arranged in layers, one above the other. Specifically, the first stepped surface 2321 is higher than the second stepped surface 2322, and the height of the first circuit board 24 is similar to and slightly higher than the first stepped surface 2321, while the height of the second circuit board 25 is similar to and slightly higher than the second stepped surface 2322. The portion of the first circuit board 24 with the first connecting portion 242 is arranged corresponding to the first stepped surface 2321, and the portion of the second circuit board 25 with the second connecting portion 252 is arranged corresponding to the second stepped surface 2322. By independently arranging the first and second circuit boards 24 and 25 in layers, and arranging the first and second stepped surfaces 2321, 2322 to match their respective heights, the overall structure of the power management device 23 is compact, and the first and second connecting portions 242, 252 are designed in layers without interfering with each other.
[0072] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second accommodating cavity 233 includes at least a wiring area, which includes a first wiring area 2331 and a second wiring area 2332 of different heights. The first connector 242 can enter the first wiring area 2331 via the first step surface 2321 through the first through-hole 23211, and the second connector 252 can enter the second wiring area 2332 via the second step surface 2322 through the second through-hole 23221. The wiring area is divided into first and second wiring areas 2331 and 2332 of different heights. The first connector 242 is connected to an external device in the first wiring area 2331, and the second connector 252 is connected to an external device in the second wiring area 2332. In this way, the wiring harnesses connected to the first and second connectors 242 and 252 are arranged in layers within the second accommodating cavity 233, reducing interference between the first and second circuit boards 24 and 25 when connecting to external wiring harnesses.
[0073] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, on an outdoor work vehicle, the height of the first circuit board 24 is higher than the height of the second circuit board 25 , and the height of the first wiring area 2331 is higher than the height of the second wiring area 2332 .
[0074] like Figures 8-11 As shown, in some embodiments, two second accommodating cavities 233 are provided, and the two second accommodating cavities 233 are respectively provided on both sides of the first accommodating cavity 232. Specifically, a first wiring area 2331 of each second accommodating cavity 233 is provided on each side of the first accommodating cavity 232, for a total of two first wiring areas 2331. Correspondingly, two first step surfaces 2321 are provided in the first accommodating cavity 232, each first step surface 2321 corresponding to a first wiring area 2331, and each first step surface 2321 is provided with a first through hole 23211 to connect to the first wiring area 2331. A second wiring area 2332 of each second accommodating cavity 233 is provided on each side of the first accommodating cavity 232, for a total of two second wiring areas 2332. Correspondingly, two second stepped surfaces 2322 are provided within the first accommodating cavity 232. Each second stepped surface 2322 corresponds to a second wiring area 2332, and each second stepped surface 2322 is provided with a second through-hole 23221 for connecting to the second wiring area 2332. The first circuit board 24 can be electrically connected and / or connected to external devices through the two first wiring areas 2331, and the second circuit board 25 can be electrically connected and / or connected to external devices through the two second wiring areas 2332.
[0075] like Figures 4-6 and Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, a first cover plate 234 is provided at the opening of the first accommodating cavity 232, and a second cover plate 235 is provided at the opening of the second accommodating cavity 233. After the circuit board is installed in the first accommodating cavity 232, the first cover plate 234 can be used to seal the circuit board within the first accommodating cavity 232 to protect the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25.
[0076] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, after an external device is connected to the first connection portion 242 and the second connection portion 252 via a wiring harness, the second cover 235 is used to store the first connection portion 242, the second connection portion 252, and a portion of the wiring harness located in the second accommodating cavity 233 within the second accommodating cavity 233. A first notch is provided on the housing body 231, and a second notch is provided on the second cover 235. When the second cover 235 is closed over the housing body 231, the first and second notches form a connection interface for the wiring harness to pass through.
[0077] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a first seal is arranged between the first cover plate 234 and the shell body 231, which can be a sealing strip 2342 or other sealing device. Specifically, the first cover plate 234 is provided with a sealing accommodation groove 2341 around the periphery, and the sealing strip 2342 is arranged in the sealing accommodation groove 2341 and partially exposed to the sealing accommodation groove 2341. When the first cover plate 234 is closed with the shell body 231, the shell body 231 presses the sealing strip 2342, and the sealing strip 2342 is locked and sealed with the shell body 231 by screws.
[0078] In some embodiments, a second seal is arranged between the second cover plate 235 and the shell body 231, which can be a sealing strip 2342 or other sealing device. Further, the second accommodation cavity 233 is provided with two, and correspondingly, the second cover plate 235 is provided with two, and the sealing strip 2342 arranged between the second cover plate 235 and the shell body 231 is also provided with two.

[0080] Please refer to 2、 Figure 3 、 Figures 7-9 In some embodiments, the power supply system 2 includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22 and a power management device 23. The battery compartment 21 has an opening; the battery pack 22 is configured to be detachably assembled in the battery compartment 21 along the opening; and the power management device 23 includes a shell body 231, the shell body 231 includes a first accommodation cavity 232 and a second accommodation cavity 233 separated from each other, the first accommodation cavity 232 is configured to accommodate at least one circuit board, the circuit board is provided with a connecting portion for connecting with an external device, the connecting portion extends to the second accommodation cavity 233, and the second accommodation cavity 233 is at least configured as a wiring area for electrical connection and / or signal connection between the connecting portion in the second accommodation cavity 233 and the external device; the connecting portion is arranged on the mounting surface of the circuit board, and the mounting surface has a different orientation from the opening direction of the battery compartment 21.
[0081] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the battery compartment 21 is upward, and the mounting surface of the circuit board is downward, so that when wiring or unwiring or repairing the circuit board in the power management device 23 on the whole vehicle of the outdoor working vehicle, the battery compartment 21 is released from the vehicle frame 1, and the battery compartment 21 is flipped to drive the power management device 23 to flip synchronously, so that the power management device 23 can be flipped from the bottom of the battery compartment 21 to an angle and a position convenient for the worker to access, and then the connecting portion is wired or unwired or the shell body 230 is disassembled for repairing the circuit board.
[0082] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the connecting portion is different from the opening direction of the battery compartment 21. Further, the extending portion is arranged on the mounting surface of the circuit board and extends away from the mounting surface. The opening direction of the battery compartment 21 is upward, the mounting surface of the circuit board is downward, and the extending direction of the connecting portion is also downward.
[0083] Further, the mounting position of the power management device 23 can be arranged on the bottom of the battery compartment 21, or arranged on the side or top surface of the battery compartment 21. The mounting position can be selected according to actual use requirements.
[0084] The mounting surface of the circuit board can also be consistent with the opening direction of the battery compartment 21.

In combination with the above-mentioned embodiments, since the mounting surface of the circuit board is downward, the connecting portion of the mounting surface is also arranged downward, and since the connecting portion of the circuit board is located in the second accommodating cavity 233, the opening direction of the second accommodating cavity 233 is arranged to be downward. When the battery compartment 21 is flipped over during maintenance, the second accommodating cavity 233 is flipped over together with the battery management device, so that the second accommodating cavity 233 is presented to the operator in a position and angle that is convenient for contact, so as to perform wire harness disassembly or disassembly of the shell 230 of the power management device 23.
[0086] Please refer to FIG. 2, Figure 3 , Figures 7-9 In some embodiments, the power management device 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the battery compartment 21 and can move together with the battery compartment 21. When the battery compartment 21 is moved, the power management device 23 can also be moved. Further, in the case that the opening of the battery compartment 21 is upward and the second accommodating cavity 233 of the power management device 23 is downward, when the battery compartment 21 is moved and the opening of the battery compartment 21 is arranged in a horizontal direction or downward, the opening of the second accommodating cavity 233 of the power management device 23 will be correspondingly arranged in a horizontal direction or upward. This will facilitate the operation in the second accommodating cavity 233 and the wire harness connection between the first terminal and the second terminal and external devices.
[0087] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the second accommodating cavity 233 of the power management device 23 can also be horizontally arranged, upwardly arranged, or inclinedly arranged upwardly or inclinedly arranged downwardly, or horizontally arranged, when the battery compartment 21 is arranged upwardly.
[0088] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the first accommodating cavity 232 is different from the opening direction of the battery compartment 21, i.e., the opening direction of the first accommodating cavity 232 is also downwardly arranged. In some embodiments, the opening direction of the first accommodating cavity 232 is the same as the opening direction of the battery compartment 21. Of course, the opening direction of the first accommodating cavity 232 can also be upwardly arranged, horizontally arranged, or downwardly arranged according to actual requirements.
[0089] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the battery compartment 21 is upwardly arranged, the opening direction of the first accommodating cavity 232 is upwardly arranged, and the opening direction of the second accommodating cavity 233 is downwardly arranged.
[0090] In some embodiments, the power management device 23 is arranged on the outdoor working vehicle, and the surface of the outdoor working vehicle connected with the power management device 23 is the connection surface, and the opening direction of the second accommodating cavity 233 is arranged to be opposite to the connection surface. Further, the power management device 23 can also be arranged on the vehicle frame 1 or the seat 4 or other feasible positions, and the surface of the outdoor working vehicle connected with the power management device 23 is the connection surface, and the opening direction of the second accommodating cavity 233 is arranged to be opposite to the connection surface, so as to prevent the connection surface from interfering with the disassembly of the shell 230 of the power management device 23 or the disassembly of the wire harness in the second accommodating cavity 233.
[0091] Please refer to FIG. 2, Figure 3 , Figures 6-10 and Figure 12In some embodiments, the power supply system 2 comprises a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22 and a power management device 23. The battery pack 22 is assembled in the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 is configured to at least control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22. The power management device 23 comprises a housing body 231, which is configured as a first accommodating cavity 232 and a second accommodating cavity 233 separated from each other, the first accommodating cavity 232 is configured to accommodate a first circuit board 24 and a second circuit board 25, the first circuit board 24 is used to provide electrical energy for the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the second circuit board 25 is configured to be able to transmit communication signals.

[0092] Among them, the housing body 231 forms a first step surface 2321 and a second step surface 2322 with different heights in the first accommodating cavity 232, the first step surface 2321 is provided with a first through hole 23211 which communicates the first accommodating cavity 232 and the second accommodating cavity 233, and the second step surface 2322 is provided with a second through hole 23221 which communicates the first accommodating cavity 232 and the second accommodating cavity 233; the first connecting part 242 can enter the second accommodating cavity 233 through the first through hole 23211, and the second connecting part 252 can enter the second accommodating cavity 233 through the second through hole 23221. In this way, the terminals on the two circuit boards in one chamber are led out to another chamber through step surfaces with different heights, so that when wiring with the two circuit boards respectively, the wire harness on the first circuit board 24 will not interfere with the wire harness on the second circuit board 25, so that the wire harness connection is regular and not messy, and when arranging the wire harness on a single circuit board, it will not be too crowded. Especially the situation of wiring between the wire harnesses on the circuit board with overcurrent is reduced, the occurrence of short circuit is reduced, and the occurrence of safety hidden trouble is reduced.
[0093] Moreover, the first circuit board is configured to provide electrical energy for the walking assembly or the power output assembly, and the second circuit board is configured to be able to transmit communication signals, which reduces the influence of the magnetic field generated by the first circuit board with overcurrent on the transmission of communication signals on the second circuit board.
[0094] Further, the height of the first step surface 2321 is higher than the height of the second step surface 2322, and the height of the first circuit board 24 is close to the height of the first step surface 2321 and slightly higher than the first step surface 2321, and the height of the second circuit board 25 is close to the height of the second step surface 2322 and slightly higher than the second step surface 2322. The part of the first circuit board 24 with the plurality of first terminals is arranged corresponding to the first step surface 2321, and the part of the second circuit board 25 with the plurality of second terminals is arranged corresponding to the second step surface 2322. The first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are arranged in layers independently, and the first step surface 2321 and the second step surface 2322 corresponding to the height of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are arranged according to the height of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25, so that the structure layout of the entire power management device 23 can be more compact, and the length of the first terminals and the second terminals can be reduced.
[0095] As shown in Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the wiring area of the second accommodating cavity 233 includes a first wiring area 2331 and a second wiring area 2332, and the height of the first wiring area 2331 is higher than the height of the second wiring area 2332. The two wiring areas are divided into different heights, which facilitates the connection of the wiring harness and reduces the occurrence of short circuit caused by the wiring harness.
[0096] Please also refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 12 , in some embodiments, the power supply system 2 of the outdoor working vehicle further includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22 and a power management device 23. The battery pack 22 is assembled in the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 and a circuit board assembly in the housing 230, and the circuit board assembly includes at least two circuit boards arranged in layers, and each of the two circuit boards arranged in layers is provided with a connecting part. In the stacking direction, the projection area of the two circuit boards has an overlapping area 259, and the connecting part on at least one of the circuit boards is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259. Since the two circuit boards are arranged in layers, the connecting part of the circuit board is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259 of the two circuit boards, which helps to reduce the interference of the circuit board caused by the space limitation of the circuit board when the external wiring harness is connected to the circuit board, and improves the wiring efficiency.
[0097] In some embodiments, in the stacking direction, the projection area of one of the two circuit boards is larger than the projection area of the other circuit board, and the connecting part on the larger circuit board is located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0098] Please also refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figures 10-12 In some embodiments, one of the two circuit boards is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. The connection portion on the first circuit board 24 is configured as a first connection portion 242 for connecting with external devices, and the connection portion on the second circuit board 25 is configured as a second connection portion 252 for connecting with external devices. In the stacking direction, the orthographic projection area of the first circuit board 24 overlaps with the orthographic projection area of the second circuit board 25, and the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0099] As Figure 12 In some embodiments, in the stacking direction, the orthographic projection area of the first circuit board 24 is larger than the orthographic projection area of the second circuit board 25, the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259, and the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 can also be entirely located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0100] Please also refer to Figures 10-12 In some embodiments, one of the two circuit boards is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information.

When the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are stacked and installed, and the first mounting surface 241 and the second mounting surface 251 have the same orientation, the first mounting surface 241 will face the non-mounting surface of the second circuit board 25, which will cause the first connection portion 242 on the first mounting surface 241 to be disturbed by the second circuit board 25 when connected externally. Therefore, the first connection portion 242 on the first mounting surface 241 is arranged outside the overlapping area 259, and the first connection portion 242 can reduce the disturbance from the second circuit board 25 when connected.

In particular, when the first mounting surface 241 and the second mounting surface 251 face the same direction, the above arrangement allows the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 on the first circuit board 24 to avoid interference from the second circuit board 25 and connect with external devices, respectively.

In order to reduce the overheating of the output end during the charging and discharging process due to the setting of a single output end of the large-capacity battery pack 22, two output ends are set on the battery pack 22, respectively at the two ends of the battery pack 22, and the output end of each end is configured as a terminal for outputting electrical energy to the outside or charging the battery pack 22.

In the discharging state, the electric energy of the battery pack 22 can be discharged to the controller in sequence through the switch array 243, the capacitor array 244, and the power output terminal 24222. Specifically, the circuit board is the first circuit board 24.
[0133] like Figure 8 In some embodiments, the circuit board is further provided with battery pack power terminals connected to the battery pack 22. The battery pack power terminals are configured on the circuit board to be electrically connected to the switch array 243. The battery pack 22 receives electrical energy from the switch array 243 via the battery pack power terminals or outputs electrical energy to the switch array 243 via the battery pack power terminals. In the discharge state, the battery pack 22 transmits electrical energy via the battery pack 22 power terminals to the capacitor array 244 via the switch array 243.

[0134] Please also see Figures 10-12In some embodiments, the outdoor work vehicle of the present application includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22 and a power management device 23. The battery compartment 21 has an opening. The battery pack 22 is configured to be assembled in the battery compartment 21 along the opening, and the battery pack 22 can supply power to the outdoor work vehicle. The power management device 23 is at least configured to control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22, and an air flow channel 27 is formed between the power management device 23 and the battery compartment 21.

Such a setting can exchange the heat generated by the power management device 23 during operation with the external air to achieve the purpose of dissipating heat from the power management device 23.
[0135] See also Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the chamber of the housing 230 may be the first accommodating chamber 232 in the aforementioned embodiment.

The first circuit board 24 capable of delivering high-power current in the present application is equivalent to the aforementioned first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking component 6 and / or the power output component 5. As can be seen from the above, the first circuit board 24 is equipped with a MOS switch 2431 and a capacitor 2441, so it will generate more heat. Placing the first circuit board 24 close to the first shell 230 is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the circuit board.
[0137] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a circuit board assembly on an outdoor work vehicle includes a first circuit board 24 and a second circuit board 25 arranged in layers, one above the other. The first circuit board 24 is positioned in contact with the heat sink. Specifically, the first circuit board 24 is capable of transmitting high-power current, while the second circuit board 25 is capable of transmitting control instructions to control the operation of the first circuit board 24. Because the first circuit board 24 generates a large amount of heat, one purpose of designing it separately from the second circuit board 25 is to ensure that the high heat generated by the first circuit board 24 does not affect the operation of the second circuit board 25, but rather exchanges heat with the outside world through the heat sink.

During the travel of the outdoor working vehicle, the airflow passes through the bottom of the battery compartment 21 and can take away the heat generated by the power management device 23. Moreover, the air is in a compressed state in the airflow channel 27, and once discharged from the airflow channel 27, the compressed air will instantaneously expand and absorb heat, which can further cool the heat dissipation part.

[0140] As described above, the circuit board is arranged close to the airflow channel 27, so that the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board is better than that of the circuit board arranged relatively far from the airflow channel 27.
[0141] In some embodiments, two circuit boards are arranged in the cavity of the power management device 23 on the outdoor working vehicle, one of which is at least a first circuit board 24 capable of transmitting high-power current, and the other is at least a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information, and the first circuit board 24 is arranged close to the heat dissipation part. Arranging the first circuit board 24 close to the part of the first housing 230 is conducive to the heat dissipation of the first circuit board 24 which generates more heat.

It should be understood that the chamber is the aforementioned first accommodating chamber 232, and the heat conduction member is the aforementioned first cover plate 234.
[0144] As shown, In some embodiments, one surface of the circuit board is provided with electric elements capable of generating heat, and the other surface is provided with the heat conduction member. The abutting arrangement effectively improves the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board. The electric elements capable of generating heat include the aforementioned mos switch 2431 and capacitor 2441 and the like.
[0145] As shown, In order to further improve the heat dissipation effect, in some embodiments, the heat conduction member is arranged to have a large volume, which is helpful for the heat conduction member to exchange heat with the external cold medium, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board. Specifically, the heat conduction member is arranged in parallel with the circuit board, and the projection area of the heat conduction member is greater than or equal to the projection area of the circuit board along the direction perpendicular to the parallel direction of the heat conduction member and the circuit board. In some embodiments, the ratio of the projection area of the heat conduction member to the projection area of the circuit board is 1-1.5. In some embodiments, the ratio of the projection area of the heat conduction member to the projection area of the circuit board is 1, 1.2 or 1.5.
[0146] In some embodiments, the size of the power management device 23 of the application is: length 280-330 mm, width 200-260 mm, height 45-65 mm. In some embodiments, the size of the power management device 23 is: length 280 mm, 310 mm or 330 mm, width 200 mm, 230 mm or 260 mm, height 45 mm, 58 mm or 65 mm.
[0147] In some embodiments, the housing main body 231 and the heat conduction member are made of different materials, and the heat conduction coefficient of the heat conduction member is greater than that of the housing main body 231. The greater the heat conduction coefficient, the better the heat dissipation effect.
[0148] In some embodiments, the heat conduction member is made of metal material, and the housing main body 231 is made of non-metal material.
