[0042] The utility model provides a kind of control switch.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 6 In an embodiment of the utility model, the control switch is applied to an outdoor robot, the outdoor robot is provided with a machine shell 300, and the control switch comprises:

[0044] A mounting seat 100 connected to the machine shell 300, the mounting seat 100 is provided with a trigger part 150;And

[0045] A key 200, the key 200 includes oppositely arranged pressing end 220 and rotating end 210, the rotating end 210 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 100, to make the key 200 have trigger state and normal state, at least part of the pressing end 220 is exposed to the machine shell 300 and is pressed by external force;

[0046] Among them,

[0047] In the trigger state, the pressing end 220 is close to the trigger part 150, the trigger part 150 identifies the pressing end 220 and generates a preset signal;

[0048] In the normal state, the pressing end 220 is away from the trigger part 150, and the trigger part 150 and the pressing end 220 interrupt signal transmission.

[0049] The technical scheme of the utility model discloses a rotatable button 200 is arranged on the mounting seat 100 to cooperate with the trigger part 150 on the mounting seat 100, and switching between the trigger state and the normal state is realized, wherein the rotating end 210 of the button 200 is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 100, and the pressing end 220 opposite to the rotating end 210 can be at least partially exposed in the casing 300, and external force can press the pressing end 220 to make the button 200 rotate, and the pressing end 220 approaches the trigger part 150 to switch to the trigger state, the trigger part 150 generates a preset signal, and then the outdoor robot is controlled to operate in a preset state, such as emergency braking, gear shifting, starting operation and the like, when the button 200 rotates away from the trigger part 150 to enter the normal state, the trigger part 150 is not triggered to interrupt signal transmission, and the outdoor robot can keep operating in the original state. In this way, the button 200 moves in a rotating mode, friction and wear caused by traditional mechanical buttons are reduced, the button 200 is prevented from being stuck, the pressing end 220 away from the rotating axis of the button 200 is subjected to external force, the active arm of the button 200 is lengthened, the force for controlling the button 200 to rotate is reduced, the risk of the button 200 being stuck when rotating from the normal state to the trigger state is reduced, the risk of the button being stuck and the operation difficulty of the user are reduced, and the reliability of the user in controlling the outdoor robot is ensured.

[0050] It should be noted that the preset signal can be an emergency stop signal for controlling the outdoor robot, when the user needs to emergency brake the outdoor robot, the pressing end 220 is pressed to drive the button 200 to rotate to the trigger state, the trigger part 150 generates an emergency stop signal and transmits the signal to the controller of the outdoor robot, and then the controller controls the outdoor robot to emergency stop to deal with unexpected or sudden situations and reduce or reduce harm, or the preset signal can be a gear shifting signal for controlling the outdoor robot or a starting signal for controlling the outdoor robot. Correspondingly, the outdoor robot can be an intelligent mower, the trigger part 150 of the control switch generates an emergency stop signal, and it can be known that the control switch is used to emergency brake the intelligent mower to deal with unexpected situations of the intelligent mower, or the outdoor robot can be a sweeper, a transport vehicle or other movable operation equipment, or the outdoor robot can be a processing and detection transmission device. In this embodiment, the outdoor robot is configured as an intelligent mower, and the control switch is used to control emergency stop as an example for description.

[0051] Without losing generality, the key 200 rotates in the space between the mounting base 100 and the casing 300, ensuring that the key 200 does not need other components to limit the stability of the key 200 in the normal state, and ensuring the stability of the key 200 in the rotating process. It can be understood that the rotating end 210 can be rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 on the side of the mounting base 100 facing the casing 300, or rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 on the side of the mounting base 100 away from the casing 300. Here, the rotating end 210 can be independently limited in the mounting base 100, or the mounting base 100 and the casing 300 can jointly limit the installation of the rotating end 210. The mounting base 100 can be arranged outside the casing 300, or arranged inside the casing 300, so that at least part of the pressing end 220 is exposed outside the intelligent mower for the user to press the pressing end 220. For the mounting base 100 arranged inside the casing 300, the casing 300 is provided with a pressing avoiding opening 320 corresponding to the pressing end 220, so that the pressing end 220 can be exposed outside the casing 300, and the user can press the pressing end 220 smoothly. For the triggering form of the pressing end 220 to the triggering part 150, the triggering can be performed by magnetism to reduce physical contact, or the triggering can be performed by pressing the button on the triggering part 150. When the key 200 is in the normal state, the state of the triggering part 150 can be that no signal is output, or a normal signal is output, so that the intelligent mower maintains the current running state.

[0052] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7The mounting base 100 is provided with a first limiting piece 110, and the rotating end 210 is rotationally connected to the first limiting piece 110. The casing 300 is provided with a second limiting piece 310, and the first limiting piece 110 is used to be enclosed with the second limiting piece 310 to define the rotating end 210. It can be understood that, under the limiting cooperation of the first limiting piece 110 and the second limiting piece 310, the stable rotation of the rotating end 210 can be ensured. During the process of connecting the mounting base 100 to the casing 300, the rotating end 210 is first adaptively placed in the first limiting piece 110, and then the first limiting piece 110 and the second limiting piece 310 are cooperated to limit the rotating end 210, so that the button 200 has a certain adjustment space during the installation process, and the risk of friction between the button 200 and the casing 300 and the mounting base 100 during the subsequent rotation process is reduced. At the same time, the work of adjusting and calibrating the button 200 and the casing 300 by the installer can also be reduced. The first limiting piece 110 and the second limiting piece 310 are used to enclose and define the rotating end 210. In addition, compared with the rotating end 210 being rotationally connected to the mounting base 100 first, the forming difficulty of the mounting base 100 can be reduced, and the installation difficulty of the rotating end 210 being rotationally connected to the mounting base 100 can also be reduced. Without loss of generality, the first limiting piece 110 is configured as a clamping plate provided with a semicircular arc, the second limiting piece 310 is also configured as a clamping plate provided with a semicircular arc, the rotating end 210 is provided with a rotating shaft 211, the rotating shaft 211 abuts against the semicircular arcs of the first limiting piece 110 and the second limiting piece 310 on the two sides in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 211, and the first limiting piece 110 includes a plurality of clamping plates distributed along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 211. Correspondingly, the second limiting piece 310 can also include a plurality of clamping plates distributed along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 211, so as to ensure the stable rotation of the rotating end 210 in the space enclosed by the first limiting piece 110 and the second limiting piece 310. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting base 100 can also be provided with a clamping hole, and the rotating shaft 211 of the rotating end 210 is rotationally connected to the clamping hole of the mounting base 100, so that the button 200 and the mounting base 100 are first connected and formed, and then the mounting base 100 and the casing 300 are connected.

[0053] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The mounting base 100 is detachably connected to the inner side of the casing 300. Without loss of generality, the casing 300 is provided with a pressing avoiding opening 320, so that the pressing end 220 of the key 200 is exposed outside from the pressing avoiding opening 320. The casing 300 ensures the stable rotation of the control switch, and also enables the user to press the pressing end 220 smoothly, reducing the influence of the external environment on the control switch. At the same time, the mounting base 100 is detachably connected to the casing 300, which can be screwing, clamping or other ways. When the control switch is damaged or needs to be adjusted, the user can adjust or replace the control switch, improving the convenience of installation operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting base 100 can also be provided on the outer side of the casing 300, and the pressing end 220 is exposed outside the casing 300 from the mounting base 100, or the mounting base 100 is fixedly and non-detachably connected to the casing 300, such as welding.

[0054] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting base 100 is provided with a containing portion 120, and the containing portion 120 is provided with a containing groove 121 on the side of the mounting base 100 away from the key 200, and the trigger portion 150 is installed in the containing groove 121. It can be understood that the containing portion 120 and the containing groove 121 provide a space for the trigger portion 150 to have a protective effect outside, effectively isolating the trigger portion 150 from potential interference factors such as impurities, dust and moisture in the external environment, thereby reducing the risk of failure or false triggering of the trigger portion 150 caused by external environmental factors. At the same time, the containing groove 121 can ensure that the trigger portion 150 can maintain a relatively stable position and posture after installation, thereby reducing the instability of the trigger caused by position deviation or looseness. As for the installation of the trigger portion 150, it can also be installed according to the rotation amplitude of the key 200 after the installation of the mounting base 100 is completed, and the different depth positions of the trigger portion 150 in the containing groove 121 can be adjusted, providing an optional range for adjusting the trigger sensitivity of the trigger portion 150, making the trigger operation more sensitive and reliable. Of course, in other embodiments, the trigger portion 150 can also be provided on the side of the mounting base 100 facing the casing 300.

[0055] Further, in the present embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4, the top of the accommodating portion 120 is provided with a limiting block 122. When the limiting block 122 abuts against the pressing end 220, the button 200 is in the triggered state. It can be understood that the limiting block 122 effectively limits the maximum angle of the button 200 during rotation, preventing the button 200 from being damaged or deviating from the predetermined position due to excessive rotation, ensuring that the button 200 can stably stay in the designed position when in the triggered state, thereby avoiding mechanical failure or misoperation caused by excessive rotation. At the same time, when the button 200 is in the triggered state, the abutment of the limiting block 122 and the pressing end 220 ensures that the trigger portion 150 can accurately identify the state of the button 200, improving the accuracy of the button 200 switching to the triggered state. Moreover, the limiting block 122 provides a clear stop point and feedback during the rotation of the button 200, and the user can confirm whether the button 200 has reached the triggered state by feeling the contact between the limiting block 122 and the pressing end 220, thereby improving the intuitiveness and accuracy of operation. Without loss of generality, the limiting block 122 is made of elastic material, such as rubber, cotton, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting block 122 can be arranged at other positions of the mounting seat 100, so that the button 200 can accurately be in the triggered state when abutting against the limiting block 122.

[0056] For the first conductive wire connected to the trigger portion 150, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , a first wire passing groove 123 is formed from the edge of the slot of the accommodating groove 121 to the edge of the mounting seat 100, and the first conductive wire connected to the trigger portion 150 is clamped in the first wire passing groove 123. It can be understood that the first wire passing groove 123 provides a separate channel for the first conductive wire, keeping a certain physical distance from the mounting seat 100 and other components, reducing the possibility of the first conductive wire being squeezed, rubbed or pulled inside the intelligent mower, thereby reducing the risk of circuit failure caused by physical damage and ensuring the operation reliability of the trigger portion 150. At the same time, by clamping the first conductive wire in the first wire passing groove 123, the first conductive wire presents an orderly and neat layout inside the mounting seat 100, which can effectively avoid the first conductive wire from being randomly wound or knotted inside the mounting seat 100, and when the first conductive wire needs to be replaced or repaired, the corresponding conductive wire can be easily found and taken out, reducing the operation difficulty and time cost. Without loss of generality, the first wire passing groove 123 is provided with a clamping structure to enable the first conductive wire to be clamped in the first wire passing groove 123 and remain stable therein. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting seat 100 can be provided with a clamping piece on the surface of the slot side of the accommodating groove 121, and the first conductive wire is clamped to the clamping piece.

[0057] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The mounting base 100 is further provided with a reset member 140, which is elastically clamped between the pressing end 220 and the mounting base 100. In the triggered state, the reset member 140 is in an elastically compressed state. When the key 200 is pressed to the triggered state, the reset member 140 will immediately start to elastically recover, pushing the key 200 to return to the normal state, ensuring that the key 200 can accurately return to the normal state after each triggering, and the user does not need to manually reset the key 200, saving operation time and effort. At the same time, the automatic reset of the key 200 by the reset member 140 can also reduce the risk of misoperation caused by the key 200 not being reset in time. Of course, in other embodiments, a tension spring can also be arranged on the side of the mounting base 100 facing the cabinet 300. In the triggered position, the tension spring is in an elastically stretched state.

[0058] Further, in the present embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The reset member 140 is configured as a compression spring, the pressing end 220 is provided with a clamping protrusion 222, the mounting base 100 is protrudingly provided with a limiting table 130, the limiting table 130 is concavely formed with a limiting groove 131, one end of the compression spring is arranged in the limiting groove 131, and the other end is inserted by the clamping protrusion 222. It can be understood that one end of the compression spring is arranged in the limiting groove 131, and the other end is inserted and fixed by the clamping protrusion 222, which ensures that when the compression spring is compressed, its elastic recovery force can act in a clear and stable direction, i.e. parallel to the rotating direction of the key 200. This helps the compression spring to maintain stable performance during triggering and resetting, ensuring that the key 200 can be accurately and reliably reset. At the same time, it also effectively reduces the interference of the lateral force, reduces the interference of the compression spring to the rotating direction of the key 200, and improves the control stability of the user to the control switch. In addition, by arranging one end of the compression spring in the limiting groove 131 and inserting and fixing the other end by the clamping protrusion 222, the limiting structure of the compression spring is simplified, and the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the control switch are reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, one end of the compression spring can also be fusion connected with the key 200 or the mounting base 100.

[0059] For the rotating direction of the key 200 after pressing against the reset member 140, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In the extension direction of the rotation axis of the key 200, the reset member 140 is arranged corresponding to the middle part of the pressing end 220. When the key 200 is subjected to external pressure, the reset member 140 supports the key 200 at the middle part of the pressing end 220, so that the key 200 is subjected to more uniform pressure distribution during rotation, which helps to reduce deformation or damage of the key 200 caused by uneven stress, thereby prolonging the service life of the key 200. At the same time, the design of the reset member 140 at the middle part of the pressing end 220 in the extension direction of the rotation axis of the key 200 can also reduce the risk of deflection of the key 200 when subjected to pressure, so as to ensure that the key 200 can keep balance during rotation and reduce the probability of key jamming or unstable triggering. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple compression springs can also be arranged and uniformly distributed in the extension direction of the rotation axis of the key 200.

[0060] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the trigger part 150 is configured as a Hall sensor, and the pressing end 220 is provided with a magnetic member 221. The magnetic member 221 and the Hall sensor are distributed in a staggered manner in the rotation direction of the key 200. It should be noted that the magnetic member 221 and the Hall sensor are distributed in a staggered manner in the rotation direction of the key 200, so that the magnetic member 221 is rotated to the side of the Hall sensor for identification and sensing by the Hall sensor. Compared with the related art in which the magnet is rotated to the top of the sensor, the rotation space of the Hall sensor for the magnetic member 221 can be reduced, and the distribution of the magnetic field in the triggering area can also be optimized. When the key 200 is pressed, the magnetic member 221 moves with the key 200, and the magnetic field change of the magnetic member 221 at the Hall sensor is more obvious, so that the Hall sensor can more directly sense the magnetic field change generated by the magnetic member 221, which helps to reduce magnetic field interference and improve the sensing sensitivity of the Hall sensor. At the same time, the staggered distribution of the magnetic member 221 and the Hall sensor can avoid the collision between the magnetic member 221 and the Hall sensor during excessive rotation of the key 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the use of the trigger part 150. Without loss of generality, the Hall sensor and the magnetic member 221 are distributed in the direction of the rotation axis of the key 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the trigger part 150 can also be configured as a button, and the key 200 outputs a preset signal after pressing the button.

[0061] In an embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3The key 200 further comprises a bent portion 230, and the rotating end 210 and the pressing end 220 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the bent portion 230. In the normal state, the pressing end 220 is obliquely above the rotating end 210. The existence of the bent portion 230 makes the key 200 present an inclined angle in the normal state, i.e., the pressing end 220 is obliquely above the rotating end 210, so that the user can easily press the key 200 without over-bending the fingers or wrist when pressing the key 200, can more naturally apply force, and makes such force more effectively converted into the rotation of the key 200, reduces the operation difficulty, and improves the user's experience. At the same time, since the pressing end 220 is obliquely upward, the user can more clearly feel the rotation process of the key 200, which helps the user to confirm that the trigger portion 150 has been successfully triggered, thereby enhancing the user's operation confidence on the control switch. Of course, in other embodiments, the pressing end 220 and the rotating end 210 can be distributed in the same plane, and in the normal state, they are horizontally extended.

[0062] In an embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The rotating end 210 is provided as two rotating arms 212, and the rotating arms 212 are rotationally connected to the mounting base 100. The mounting base 100 is further provided with a rain sensor 170, and the rain sensor 170 is between the two rotating arms 212, and at least part of the rain sensor 170 is exposed outside the machine shell 300. By arranging the rain sensor 170 between the two rotating arms 212, the space of the control switch is fully utilized, avoiding the sensor occupying additional external space, thereby improving the compactness of the entire device. At the same time, by integrating the rain sensor 170 with the control switch, the steps and the number of components required for the separate rain sensor 170 are reduced, which not only simplifies the assembly process, but also reduces the production cost. In addition, the two rotating arms 212 help to prevent the rain sensor 170 from being displaced or damaged when subjected to external impact or vibration, thereby improving the overall stability of the intelligent mower. Without loss of generality, for the rain sensor 170, the machine shell 300 is provided with an exposure hole 330, and the rain sensor 170 can be at least partially exposed outside the machine shell 300 through the exposure hole 330, so that it can directly contact water droplets or moisture in the external environment, which helps the sensor to more accurately detect the rainfall condition, so that the intelligent mower can timely trigger the corresponding protection or response mechanism. Of course, in other embodiments, the rain sensor 170 can also be arranged at other positions of the machine shell 300 of the intelligent mower.

[0063] For the installation of the rain sensor 170, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The mounting seat 100 is provided with a mounting groove 180, the rain sensor 170 is arranged in the mounting groove 180, a second wire passing groove 181 is formed from the peripheral edge of the mounting groove 180 away from the button 200 to the peripheral edge of the mounting seat 100, the second conductive wire is connected to the rain sensor 170, and the second conductive wire is clamped in the second wire passing groove 181. It can be understood that the second wire passing groove 181 provides a separate channel for the second conductive wire, so that the second conductive wire maintains a certain physical distance from the mounting seat 100 and other components, reduces the possibility of the second conductive wire being squeezed, rubbed or pulled inside the intelligent mower, thereby reducing the risk of circuit failure caused by physical damage and ensuring the operation reliability of the rain sensor 170. At the same time, by clamping the second conductive wire in the second wire passing groove 181, the conductive wire presents an orderly and neat layout inside the mounting seat 100, which can effectively avoid the second conductive wire from being randomly wound or knotted inside the mounting seat 100. When the second conductive wire needs to be replaced or repaired, the corresponding second conductive wire can be easily found and taken out, reducing the operation difficulty and time cost. Without loss of generality, the second wire passing groove 181 is provided with a clamping structure to enable the second conductive wire to be clamped in the second wire passing groove 181 and to remain stable in the second wire passing groove 181. The mounting groove 180 can be partially through the mounting seat 100, and the rain sensor 170 is arranged in the mounting groove 180 from the side of the mounting seat 100 away from the machine shell 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting seat 100 can be provided with a clamping piece on the surface of the side of the mounting groove 180, and the second conductive wire is clamped in the clamping piece.

[0064] For the outdoor equipment such as the intelligent mower, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The mounting base 100 is configured with a downward recess 160, and the mounting base 100 is provided with a drain hole 161 in fluid communication with the recess 160, and the mounting base 100 is connected to the inner side of the machine shell 300, and the drain hole 161 is used to drain the fluid outside the outdoor robot. It can be understood that the recess 160 can continuously accumulate the fluid on the mounting base 100, such as rainwater, and the drain hole 161 can quickly drain the fluid accumulated inside the mounting base 100 to the outside of the outdoor robot, which helps to prevent rainwater from staying in the mounting base 100 for a long time, thereby reducing the potential risk of corrosion, short circuit and other potential risks of the control switch caused by water accumulation. At the same time, the recess 160 on the mounting base 100 helps to guide the fluid to flow along the inclined direction to the drain hole 161, and to be smoothly drained through the drain hole 161, thereby reducing the possibility of rainwater directly invading the inside of the mounting base 100 or accumulating near the key components, such as the trigger part 150, the sensor and other key elements, which separates the water from the key elements, helps to protect these elements from moisture erosion, ensures their normal work and prolongs their service life. Without loss of generality, as for the path of the moisture flowing from the drain hole 161 to the outside of the outdoor robot, it directly drips downward through the drain hole 161 to the bottom of the outdoor robot, or a guide flow channel is arranged in the chassis of the outdoor robot, and the guide flow channel is communicated with the drain hole 161, thereby guiding the water flow to be drained outside the machine shell 300. Of course, in other embodiments, a replaceable water-absorbing cotton can also be arranged on the side of the mounting base 100 facing the machine shell 300, or the water-absorbing cotton guides the invading water flow to flow outside the outdoor robot.

[0065] For the connection seam of the mounting base 100 and the machine shell 300, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7The peripheral edge of the mounting base 100 is provided with a sealing ring groove 190, and the sealing ring groove 190 is adapted to be provided with a sealing ring, which is used to seal the gap between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300. The sealing ring groove 190 and the adapted sealing ring jointly constitute a tight waterproof barrier. When the mounting base 100 is connected with the cabinet 300, the sealing ring is compressed and filled in the gap between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300, thereby effectively preventing the water invading the mounting base 100 from overflowing at the gap between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300, and orderly guiding the water to flow out from the drain hole 161, thereby avoiding the external water from invading and damaging the internal elements of the intelligent mower, and ensuring the operation stability of the intelligent mower. Without loss of generality, the sealing ring is usually made of elastic material and has good flexibility and sealing performance, so as to adapt to the small gap between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300, and ensure that the gap between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300 achieves the best sealing effect. The corner of the mounting base 100 is connected to the cabinet 300 through a screw, and the sealing ring is also tightly filled in the connection joint between the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the peripheral edge of the mounting base 100 and the cabinet 300 can be fusion connected.
