[0044] Example 1

[0045] See Figures 1-9 As shown, a lawnmower with a cleaning mechanism includes a chassis 1 and a sensing component 2, which is mounted on the chassis 1. The cleaning mechanism 3 is also mounted on the chassis 1, with its output end facing the sensing component 2, and is used to clean the sensing end of the sensing component 2. By using the cleaning mechanism 3, when the sensing component 2 malfunctions (e.g., the camera, sensor, laser head), the sensing end of the sensing component 2 can be cleaned, avoiding the need for manual handling required in existing technologies, saving mowing time, and improving mowing efficiency.

[0046] See Figure 4 As shown in a further specific embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes an air tank 31 for maintaining compressed air and an air outlet pipe 32. The output end of the air tank 31 is connected to the input end of the air outlet pipe 32, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 faces the sensing end of the sensing component 2. The air tank 31 provides an air source for cleaning the sensing end of the sensing component 2, and the compressed air is sprayed onto the sensing end of the sensing component 2 through the air outlet pipe 32, thereby completing the cleaning of the sensing component 2. The structure is simple and the cleaning effect is good.

[0047] In a further specific embodiment, the chassis 1 is provided with a housing 11, and the sensing component 2 includes a sensor 21 and a first mounting base 22. The first mounting base 22 is mounted on the housing 11, and the sensor 21 is mounted on the first mounting base 22. The first mounting base 22 has an air jet hole 221 facing the sensor 21, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 is connected to the air jet hole 221. The air jet hole 221 ensures that the air output from the air outlet pipe 32 is accurately aligned with the sensing end of the sensor 21, resulting in a simple structure and strong stability. Although this utility model does not describe the specific structure and technical features of the housing 11, it is understood that the housing 11 has a through hole for the sensing end of the sensor 21 to sense the surrounding environment.

[0048] In a further specific embodiment, the sensor 21 includes at least one camera and / or at least one sensor, and the air outlet 221 at each of the cameras and sensors is respectively connected to an air outlet pipe 32. It should be noted that, depending on actual needs, multiple cameras or multiple sensors or a combination of both can be set. Therefore, each camera and sensor is connected to an air outlet pipe 32, and each camera and sensor is mounted on a corresponding first mounting base 22.

[0049] See Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the sensing assembly 2 comprises a laser 23, a second mounting base 24 and a motor 25, the second mounting base 24 is mounted on the chassis 1, the motor 25 is mounted on the second mounting base 24, the laser 23 is mounted on the output end of the motor 25, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 is mounted on the second mounting base 24 towards the laser 23. The second mounting base 24 is provided with a detection mechanism 4, the detection end of the detection mechanism 4 is towards the laser 23, and the motor 25 is used to drive the laser 23 to move between the detection end of the detection mechanism 4, the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 and the sensing position of the laser 23. The second mounting base 24 is provided with a nozzle 241, the output end of the nozzle 241 is towards the laser 23, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 is in communication with the input end of the nozzle 241.

[0050] The present embodiment is provided with a detection station and a cleaning station, the detection end of the detection mechanism 4 is towards the detection station, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 32 is towards the cleaning station. When the laser 23 is abnormal, the motor 25 drives the laser 23 to rotate, so that the sensing end of the laser 23 is located at the detection station and the laser power supply is turned on, and the detection mechanism 4 detects the laser intensity. If the laser intensity is detected to be lower than the set value at this time, it indicates that the laser head of the laser 23 may be blocked by debris, at this time the motor 25 drives the laser 23 to rotate to the cleaning position, so that the laser head is aligned with the corresponding nozzle 241, and then the corresponding exhaust electromagnetic valve 321 is opened, and the compressed air is sprayed from the nozzle 241 to clean the debris in front of the laser head. The motor 25 drives the laser 23 to rotate to the detection station again, and the laser intensity is detected again. If it is normal, it indicates that the cleaning is completed, if it is not normal, it needs to be stopped for manual processing. It should be noted that the detection mechanism 4 of the present embodiment uses a light sensor, and when the laser head is driven by the motor 25 to rotate to the detection station, the laser is just irradiated on the light sensor, at this time it is used to confirm whether the laser head can emit light with normal intensity.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the sensor 21 of the present embodiment comprises two cameras, one ultrasonic sensor and one laser 23. The combination of sensors realizes the visual judgment of the lawn mower, which can better perform the mowing work.

Through the above arrangement, the air pump 5 sucks air through the filter 6, and then compresses the air into the air tank 31, and the pressure sensor 7 stops the air pump 5 when the set pressure value is reached.
