[0030] In addition, the charging device 10 also includes a whole machine controller (also known as a central controller or a main controller), which mainly includes a microprocessor, a memory and a communication interface. The whole machine controller is responsible for coordinating and controlling the vehicle-mounted chargers, motor controllers and auxiliary power supplies 20 of the motor scraper 100, etc., to ensure that the motor scraper 100 can operate efficiently and safely.
