Furthermore, "connection" and "coupling" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.
[0037] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the values and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values not using relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.

[0040] The power tools applicable to the technical solutions of this application include outdoor walking equipment, handheld power tools, fastening power tools, cutting power tools, grinding power tools, etc. Examples include ride-on lawnmowers, hair dryers, electric drills, circular saws, reciprocating saws, impact wrenches, impact screwdrivers, and hammer drills. Other types of power tools that adopt the substantive content of the disclosed technical solutions will fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the power tool disclosed in this application is an outdoor walking device 100, which is a ride-on lawnmower that allows users to sit or stand on it to operate for mowing lawns and other vegetation. The outdoor walking device 100 includes: a housing assembly, an energy storage device, a walking assembly, and a frame. The frame extends substantially in a front-to-back direction and, together with the housing assembly, constitutes the main body of the outdoor walking device. The energy storage device provides energy to the mowing assembly and the walking assembly, enabling the outdoor walking device to be used as a power tool.
[0042] The walking assembly includes a set of walking wheels and a walking motor. The walking wheels are connected to the main unit to support it. The walking wheels can drive the outdoor walking device to move in at least the forward and backward direction. The walking assembly includes a rear walking wheel and a front walking wheel. The walking motor drives the rear walking wheel or the front walking wheel to rotate, enabling the outdoor walking device 100 to move on the ground. The outdoor walking device 100 also includes functional components for realizing tool functions and a drive motor for driving the functional components. In this embodiment, the outdoor walking device 100 is a ride-on lawnmower, and the functional component is specifically a lawnmower assembly, which includes a mowing element for cutting lawn grass, and the drive motor drives the mowing element to rotate. The structure and position of the above-mentioned mowing component and drive motor are conventional settings in the art, and will not be described in detail in this application. The outdoor walking device 100 is internally equipped with a motor 200 (not shown in the figure), which can be either a walking motor or a drive motor, or a combination of both. The motor 200 can be either an internal rotor motor or an external rotor motor, and this application does not limit this.
[0043] This application uses motor 200 as an example of an external rotor motor for specific explanation. Figure 2As shown, the motor 200 includes a housing 210, an output shaft 220, a stator 230, and a rotor 240. An installation space is formed within the housing 210. Both the stator 230 and the rotor 240 are installed within this space, with the stator 230 located inside the rotor 240. The output shaft 220 is located within the installation space, and its output end protrudes from both the stator 230 and the rotor 240. The stator 230 is a fixed component inside the housing 210, and its main function is to generate a rotating magnetic field. The rotor 240 is capable of rotation, and its main function is to be cut by magnetic lines of force in the rotating magnetic field, thereby generating an electric current. For ease of description, the following definitions are used: Figure 2 As shown: top and bottom.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a coolant 300 can be installed inside the housing 210. The heat generated when the motor 200 operates can be conducted to the housing 210 through the coolant 300. The coolant 300 is in contact with both the housing 210 and the stator 230 or rotor 240. Specifically, when the motor 200 operates, the heat generated on the motor 200 windings is transferred through the stator 230 or rotor 240 to the coolant 300, and then to the housing 210. Figure 2 As shown, in this application, the coolant 300 is specifically in contact with the housing 210 and the rotor 240. The coolant 300 transfers the heat generated by the motor 200 windings to the housing 210, avoiding the low efficiency of heat transfer via air and the difficulty in quickly dissipating heat during prolonged motor operation. Therefore, the housing 210 can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the motor 200 windings to the external environment, improving the heat dissipation capacity of the motor 200 and resulting in better heat dissipation performance of the outdoor walking device 100.
[0045] In some embodiments, the power of the motor 200 is greater than or equal to 2kW and less than or equal to 10kW. Optionally, the power of the motor 200 is 3.5kW. Optionally, the power of the motor 200 is 5kW. The power of the motor 200 is 6.5kW. The power of the motor 200 is 8kW.
[0046] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of motor 200 is greater than or equal to 2000 RPM and less than or equal to 7000 RPM. In some embodiments, the rotational speed of motor 200 is greater than or equal to 2000 RPM and less than or equal to 6000 RPM. In some embodiments, the rotational speed of motor 200 is greater than or equal to 2000 RPM and less than or equal to 5000 RPM.

In some embodiments, the rotational speed of motor 200 is greater than or equal to 4000 RPM and less than or equal to 7000 RPM.
[0047] Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 2400 RPM. Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 3000 RPM.
[0048] Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 3500 RPM. Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 4000 RPM.
[0049] Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 4600 RPM. Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 5000 RPM.
[0050] Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 5800 RPM. Optionally, the speed of motor 200 is 6300 RPM.
[0051] In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the coolant 300 is greater than or equal to 0.1 W / (m·K) and less than or equal to 0.5 W / (m·K). Optionally, the thermal conductivity of the coolant 300 is 0.2 W / (m·K). Optionally, the thermal conductivity of the coolant 300 is 0.3 W / (m·K).
[0052] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the coolant 300 is greater than or equal to 2 mm. 2 / s (100℃), and less than or equal to 8mm 2 / s (100℃). Optionally, the viscosity of coolant 300 is 3mm. 2 / s (100℃). Optionally, the viscosity of coolant 300 is 4.2 mm. 2 / s (100℃). Optionally, the viscosity of coolant 300 is 5.5 mm. 2 / s (100℃). Optionally, the viscosity of coolant 300 is 7.6 mm. 2 / s (100℃).
[0053] In some embodiments, the volume percentage of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 50%. Specifically, the volume percentage of coolant 300 within the housing 210 refers to the amount of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 relative to the total internal space of the housing 210; that is, the ratio of the volume of coolant 300 to the volume of the internal space of the housing 210. Optionally, the volume percentage of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 is 15%. Optionally, the volume percentage of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 is 20%. Optionally, the volume percentage of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 is 30%. Optionally, the volume percentage of coolant 300 disposed within the housing 210 is 45%.
[0054] By setting the thermal conductivity coefficient, viscosity, and volume ratio of the coolant 300 within the housing 210, the coolant 300 can effectively cool the motor 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the motor 200 and the outdoor walking device 100.
[0055] Optionally, coolant 300 can be vegetable oil. Optionally, coolant 300 can be mineral oil. Optionally, coolant 300 can be synthetic oil. Optionally, coolant 300 can also be any other medium that meets the above-mentioned conditions for coolant 300. Optionally, coolant 300 can be composed of one or more media, and this application does not limit it.
[0056] In some embodiments, the motor 200 further includes a vortex blocker 400 disposed within the housing 210. The vortex blocker 400 includes at least a blocking portion 410 that blocks the rotation of the coolant 300. When the motor 200 is operating, the coolant 300 within the housing 210 rotates at high speed under the drive of the rotor 240, forming vortices. This causes the coolant surface near the housing 210 to rise, while the surface near the output shaft 220 to sink. Consequently, the contact area between the coolant 300 and the motor 200 windings is reduced, decreasing the heat transfer effect of the coolant 300 in transferring heat generated by the motor 200 windings to the housing 210. By providing the vortex blocker 400, the probability of the coolant 300 forming vortices under the drive of the rotor 240 can be reduced, or the formation of vortices in the coolant 300 under the drive of the rotor 240 can be prevented, thereby improving the heat transfer effect of the coolant 300.
[0057] In some embodiments, the number of multiple blocking portions 410 may be four. In some embodiments, the number of multiple blocking portions 410 may be five. In some embodiments, the number of multiple blocking portions 410 may be six. In some embodiments, the number of multiple blocking portions 410 may be ten. In some embodiments, the number of multiple blocking portions 410 may be any number greater than one.
[0058] In some embodiments, a plurality of blocking portions 410 are formed protruding inward on the inner side of the housing 210.

The plurality of blocking portions 410 can be as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The obstructions 410, which are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner sidewalls and bottom of the housing 210 as shown, can also be fixedly installed at non-fixed intervals on the inner sidewalls and bottom of the housing 210; this application does not limit this. The multiple obstructions 410 fixedly installed inside the housing 210 extend in a direction substantially parallel to the output shaft 220 of the motor 200 within the housing 210. Optionally, the obstructions 410 formed by the ribs can be as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cuboid shown can also be any other shape that can serve as a barrier; this application does not limit it.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the blocking portion 410 formed by the inward protrusion of the inner sidewall of the housing 210 includes a portion formed by the inward protrusion of the inner sidewall of the housing 210, and the blocking portion 410 is constituted by the protruding features of the inner sidewall of the housing 210.

Optionally, in the vertical direction of the motor 200, the width of the protruding features of the inner sidewall of the housing 210 can gradually narrow from top to bottom. Optionally, in the vertical direction of the motor 200, the width of the protruding features of the inner sidewall of the housing 210 can vary randomly, and this application does not limit it. The protruding feature on the inner sidewall of the housing 210 extends in a direction that is substantially parallel to the output shaft 220 of the motor 200.
[0060] In some embodiments, the rotary stop assembly 400 can be detachably mounted to the inside of the housing 210, and the rotary stop assembly 400 and the housing 210 are formed separately. The rotary stop assembly 400 includes both a blocking portion 410 and a fixing portion 420, which is used to fix the rotary stop assembly 400 to the inside of the housing 210.

Multiple blocking portions 410 can be connected to the fixing portion 420 at equal intervals or at irregular intervals. The extending direction of the multiple blocking portions 410 within the housing 210 is substantially parallel to the output shaft 220 of the motor 200.
[0061] In some embodiments, the fixing part 420 and the blocking part 410 are separately provided. A groove 211 is formed on the inner sidewall and / or bottom of the housing 210 to mate with the blocking part 410, and the blocking part 410 is inserted into the groove 211 for initial fixation.

Optionally, an additional motor can be added to the outdoor walking device 100 to drive the pump structure 500.
[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, the pump structure 500 also includes a liquid outlet assembly 520, and the motor 200 includes a collection assembly 530 and a spraying assembly 540. Both the collection assembly 530 and the spraying assembly 540 are disposed within the mounting space formed by the housing 210. The liquid outlet assembly 520 is used to discharge the coolant 300 pumped from the suction assembly 510 to the second end of the motor 200. The collection assembly 530 is used to collect the coolant 300 flowing out of the liquid outlet assembly 520. The spraying assembly 540 is fixed to the retainer of the motor 200 and cooperates with the collection assembly 530 to receive the coolant 300 from the collection assembly 530. Optionally, the collection assembly 530 can be an annular structure to match the structure of the motor 200. Optionally, the spraying assembly 540 can be an annular structure to match the structures of the collection assembly 530 and the motor 200.
[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, the collecting assembly 530 is disposed below the liquid outlet assembly 520. The collecting assembly 530 consists of a base plate 531 and a side wall 532, and is used to restrict the flow direction and flow position of the coolant 300 flowing out of the liquid outlet assembly 530.

At least one hole 534 is provided on the first limiting structure 533 for downward flow of coolant 300.
[0065] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the spraying assembly 540 is disposed below the collecting assembly 530. The spraying assembly 540 includes a top plate 541 and a second limiting structure 542, which is a downwardly recessed structure disposed around the circumference of the spraying assembly 540. In the vertical direction of the motor 200, the second limiting structure 542 is located below the top plate 541. The top plate 541 is used to receive coolant 300 flowing out from the holes 534 of the collecting assembly 530, and the second limiting structure 542 is used to receive coolant 300 from the top plate 541. The spraying assembly 540 includes at least one spray hole 543 for spraying coolant 300 onto the motor 200. Wherein, as...

Optionally, the circumference traversed by the second limiting structure 542 along the vertical direction of the motor 200 is larger than the circumference traversed by the first limiting structure 533 along the vertical direction of the motor 200, that is, the second limiting structure 542 is closer to the housing 210 than the first limiting structure 533, and the first limiting structure 533 is closer to the output shaft 220 of the motor 200 than the second limiting structure 542.
[0067] In some embodiments, the motor 200 includes at least one liquid flow path 600, which includes an inlet 610 and an outlet 620 opening inside the motor 200. Optionally, the inlet 610 is located on the lower inner side of the motor 200, and the outlet 620 is located on the upper inner side of the motor 200.

The motor 200 also includes a fourth limiting structure that cooperates with the third limiting structures, and the fourth limiting structure is disposed on the upper part of the inner side of the housing 210. When the motor 200 is running, the liquid flow path 600 formed by the third limiting structure guides the coolant 300 from the lower inlet 610 to the upper outlet 620. Then, the fourth limiting structure restricts the coolant 300 at the outlet 620, causing the coolant 300 to fall back from the top of the motor 200 and spray the windings of the motor 200, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the coolant 300 on the windings of the motor 200.
[0069] In some embodiments, the motor 200 includes a second guide 700 disposed inside the housing 210 to form a liquid flow path 600. Optionally, the second guide 700 is detachably mounted to the inside of the housing 210. Optionally, the second guide 700 is fixedly mounted to the inside of the housing 210. Figure 12 As shown, the second guide 700 includes a first guide portion 710 disposed inside the housing 210 and a second guide portion 720 disposed on the upper part of the inner side of the housing 210. The first guide portion 710 and the second guide portion 720 are integrally formed. The first guide portion 710 is helical in shape, forming a liquid flow path 600 with a helical channel between adjacent first guide portions 710. Optionally, the number of first guide portions 710 can be any number greater than 1. The second guide portion 720 is used to guide the coolant 300 to the upper part of the motor 200 via the liquid flow path 600 to the windings of the motor 200. Optionally, the second guide 700 is also mounted to the inner side of the housing 210 via the second guide portion 720. The second guide portion 720 can be mounted to the inner side of the housing 210 by screws. When the motor 200 is running, the liquid flow path 600 formed by the first guide part 710 guides the coolant 300, guiding the coolant 300 from the lower inlet 610 to the upper outlet 620. Then, the second guide part 720 guides the coolant 300 at the outlet 620, causing the coolant 300 to fall back from the top of the motor 200 and spray the windings of the motor 200.
[0070] In some embodiments, a liquid flow path 600 is formed on the rotor 240, wherein an inlet 610 of the liquid flow path 600 is formed at one end of the rotor 240, and an outlet 620 of the liquid flow path 600 is formed at the other end of the rotor 240. For example... Figure 13 As shown, a liquid inlet 610 is formed at the lower end of the rotor 240, and a liquid outlet 620 is formed at the upper end of the rotor 240. Thus, when the rotor 240 rotates, coolant 300 flows in from the lower liquid inlet 610 and flows out through the liquid flow path 600 to the upper liquid outlet 620. The number of liquid flow paths 600 can be any number greater than one, and this application does not limit it.
[0071] The motor 200 also includes a first guide 800, which is disposed at the outlet 620 and can at least change the flow direction of the coolant 300 flowing out of the outlet 620. Specifically, the first guide 800 guides the coolant 300 flowing out of the outlet 620 onto the windings of the motor 200, causing the coolant 300 to fall back from the top of the motor 200 and spray onto the windings. Optionally, the first guide 800 can be as follows: Figure 13 The shape of the guide plate is shown. Optionally, the first guide 800 can also be any other shape capable of guiding, which is not limited in this application. Optionally, the first guide 800 can be fixed to the housing 210, specifically fixed to the upper side of the housing 210. Optionally, the number of first guides 800 is greater than or equal to the number of outlets 620, so as to guide the coolant 300 flowing out of the outlets 620. Optionally, the first guides 800 can be arranged on both sides of the outlets 620, so that the coolant 300 can be guided whether it flows to the left or right after flowing out of the outlets 620.
