[0003] Taking lawnmowers as an example, a lawnmower is a device that can autonomously control its walking route and working area, and perform mowing and cutting of lawns within a predetermined area. To meet different user cutting needs, lawnmowers need to have an adjustable cutting height function. In related technologies, the devices used to achieve this function in lawnmowers have complex structures and are inconvenient to operate, resulting in higher manufacturing costs and also negatively impacting the user experience of adjusting the cutting height.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the orthographic projections of all the mounting surfaces are arranged at intervals. One end of the functional module is connected to the main unit through the mounting surface, and at least a portion of the other end extends along the first direction.

[0008] The functional module can be selectively installed on any of the mounting parts to adjust the length of the functional module extending relative to the chassis along the first direction.

Furthermore, the height adjustment component used for height adjustment also has the advantages of simple structure, high stability, and low processing cost. The height difference between different mounting parts on the height adjustment component can be flexibly adjusted as needed, giving the functional module a more flexible adjustment range and better suiting different user needs. When the functional module is a mowing module, the operating device is a lawnmower. In this case, the lawnmower has the advantages of simple structure, low processing cost, convenient operation, and a large cutting adjustment range, facilitating user operation and maintenance and improving the user experience.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0045] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0046] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0047] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0048] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0050] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0051] This application provides a work equipment and a work system. The work system further includes a base station for parking the work equipment and cooperating with it to form the work system. The work equipment can have a certain degree of autonomous operation, operating according to a set path and time, or it can require manual operation and be pushed by a person. Taking a lawnmower as an example, the lawnmower can be used for garden maintenance. The lawnmower can be an intelligent lawnmower, capable of mowing according to a set path and time, thus autonomously completing the lawn mowing work; or it can be a push lawnmower, capable of mowing under the user's push. The base station can provide charging functionality for the work equipment. Taking the lawnmower's autonomous operation as an example, when the lawnmower starts working, it can start from a set location and perform the mowing task; when the lawnmower completes the mowing task or needs charging, it can travel to the base station for charging. After charging is completed, if the lawnmower is still within the set working time, it can automatically return to the previously unfinished work area to continue mowing. The base station has a charging component, such as charging electrodes, at a corresponding location for charging the working equipment. Alternatively, the working equipment can be a robotic vacuum cleaner that performs autonomous floor cleaning, having cleaning components (at least one of a roller brush and a mop) to clean the floor; or, the working equipment can be a floor scrubber that performs floor cleaning under human push, having a cleaning roller brush for cleaning the floor.

[0052] When the aforementioned equipment operates in the working environment, the distance between its functional modules and the ground needs to be determined based on user requirements and environmental limitations. In related technologies, the structures used to achieve height adjustment of functional modules are relatively complex, resulting in high processing costs and inconvenient operation, which to some extent affects the user experience.

[0053] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, improve the high processing cost of related structures with highly adjustable functions, and at least to some extent improve the user's experience of using the above-mentioned work equipment 10, this application provides a new work equipment 10 and work system 100.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the working device 10 provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the working equipment 10 from another angle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 Exploded view of the working equipment 10 shown.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a working device 10, which includes a host 1 and a functional module 2. The host 1 has a chassis 11, and the functional module 2 is installed on the side of the chassis 11 in the first direction X near the working surface, that is, installed below the chassis 11.

[0056] The working equipment 10 also includes multiple wheels. The working equipment 10 can travel along the working surface through the wheels and drive the functional module 2 to perform corresponding work operations on the working surface.

[0057] Taking the work equipment 10 as a lawnmower as an example, the functional module 2 is a lawnmower module with lawnmower function. When the work equipment 10 moves relative to the work surface, the functional module 2 can perform the lawnmower function.

[0058] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The chassis 11 is provided with a height adjustment component 12 on the side facing the working surface in the first direction X (i.e. below the chassis 11). The functional module 2 can be installed on the chassis 11 through the height adjustment component 12, and at this time, at least part of the structure of the functional module 2 can protrude downward relative to the side surface of the chassis 11 that is closer to the working surface.

[0059] Specifically, the side of the chassis 11 facing the working surface can be recessed or protruded along the first direction X to form the aforementioned height adjustment member 12; or, a space for accommodating the height adjustment member 12 can be formed.

[0060] In some embodiments, the height adjustment member 12 may be integrally formed with the chassis 11, or it may be fixed to the chassis 11 by means of bolts or other means.

[0061] The structure of the height adjustment component 12 will be specifically described below, taking the example of the height adjustment component 12 being recessed on the chassis 11.

[0062] Please see Figure 3 The functional module 2 includes a connecting part 210 and a functional part 220. The functional module 2 can be connected to the height adjustment member 12 provided on the chassis 11 through the connecting part 210. The functional part 220 is located at the end of the connecting part 210 facing away from the chassis 11 and can extend at least partially along the first direction X to extend outward relative to the chassis 11.

[0063] The first direction X can be a vertical direction or have a certain angle with the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the actual pointing direction of the first direction X is not limited. It is only necessary to ensure that the first direction X can point to the working surface when the working equipment 10 is in normal working state.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 The height adjustment element 12 is located on the lower surface of the chassis 11 and is approximately in the middle of the chassis 11.

[0065] Specifically, along the first direction X, the height adjustment member 12 includes at least two mounting portions 121 spaced apart, each mounting portion 121 having a mounting surface 1211. On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the orthographic projections of all mounting surfaces 1211 are spaced apart. The connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2 can be connected to the host 1 via the mounting surface 1211. At this time, at least a portion of the other end of the functional module 2 (and the functional portion 220) can extend along the first direction X.

[0066] The functional module 2 can be selectively installed on any mounting part 121 to adjust the length of the functional module 2 extending relative to the chassis 11 along the first direction X.

[0067] As the functional module 2 is selectively mounted on the mounting surfaces 1211 of different mounting parts 121, the length of the portion of the functional module 2 extending relative to the chassis 11 along the first direction X changes. Correspondingly, as the functional module 2 is connected to the chassis 11 through different mounting parts 121, the distance between the end of the functional module 2 extending relative to the chassis 11 and the chassis 11 in the first direction X changes.

[0068] When the working equipment 10 is placed on the working surface in its normal working posture, the functional part 220 of the functional module 2 is closer to the working surface than the connecting part 210. As the installation position of the functional module 2 is adjusted, the distance between the functional module 2 and the working surface also changes.

[0069] It should be noted that when the working equipment 10 is supported on the working surface by the traveling wheels, the working equipment 10 is in normal working condition. In this state, the connecting part 210 and the functional part 220 of the functional module 2 are arranged along the first direction X.

[0070] At this time, the connecting part 210 of the aforementioned functional module 2 is mounted on the chassis 11, and the functional part 220 is located on the side of the chassis 11 facing the working surface. Alternatively, the arrangement direction of the connecting part 210 and the functional part 220 in the functional module 2 can be set to have a certain angle with the first direction X, and this angle is less than 90 degrees. Of course, the functional module 2 can also be set as a bent structure with a certain angle, and the connecting part 210 near the chassis 11 extends along the first direction X, while the extension direction of the functional part 220 away from the chassis 11 has a certain angle with the first direction X, etc.

[0071] Figure 4 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the working equipment 10 shown. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of the structure of region A in the middle. Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the bottom structure of the base station 20 in the operating equipment 10 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Enlarged view of the structure of region B in the middle.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Functional module 2 cooperates with a mounting part 121 in height adjustment member 12 through connecting part 210, and at this time, the end of connecting part 210 in the first direction X can contact the mounting surface 1211 on mounting part 121.

[0073] It should be noted that the mounting surface 1211 can be a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, or it can be a curved surface, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the mounting surface 1211.

[0074] Specifically, the mounting section 121 is equipped with mounting components for cooperating with the functional module 2. Figure 5 Taking the structure shown as an example, the mounting component is a first mounting hole 1212 provided on the mounting surface 1211. Correspondingly, the functional module 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 201, and the mounting surface 1211 and the functional module 2 are fixedly connected by fasteners passing through the first mounting hole 1212 and the second mounting hole 201.

[0075] It should be noted that the aforementioned second mounting hole 201 is located on the connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2. When installing the functional module 2 onto the chassis 11, the connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2 needs to be inserted into the height adjustment member 12 along the first direction X, aligning with the corresponding mounting portion 121, until the connecting portion 210 contacts the mounting surface 1211 of the mounting portion 121. At this point, the first mounting hole 1212 on the mounting surface 1211 can maintain communication with the second mounting hole 201 on the connecting portion 210. Under the action of the fasteners, the functional module 2 can be firmly fixed to the chassis 11.

[0076] Specifically, the first mounting hole 1212 can be a threaded hole with internal threads, and the second mounting hole 201 can be a normal through hole with a smooth inner wall or a threaded hole with the same inner diameter and thread specification as the first mounting hole 1212. The fastener can be a screw or bolt with corresponding external threads, and can be fixedly connected to the chassis 11 with the first mounting hole 1212 by means of threaded connection, so as to realize the fixed installation of the functional module 2.

[0077] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the first mounting hole 1212 may be set parallel to the first direction X. In this case, the fastener also extends along the first direction X.

[0078] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5At this time, the functional module 2 extends along the first direction X as a whole, and the connecting part 210 of the functional module 2 can be connected to the chassis 11 through the height adjustment member 12. The functional part 220 of the functional module 2 extends outward relative to the chassis 11 along the first direction X.

[0079] In some embodiments, the height adjustment member 12 further includes a positioning part 122, and all mounting parts 121 are connected to the positioning part 122.

[0080] Specifically, all mounting parts 121 can be arranged in a ring around the positioning part 122.

[0081] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 All mounting parts 121 can be arranged in a ring around the first axis. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the functional module 2 extending relative to the chassis 11, the connecting part 210 of the functional module 2 can be rotated to cooperate with the different mounting parts 121 arranged in a ring.

[0082] Specifically, the aforementioned first axis can be parallel to the first direction X, or it can have a certain angle with the straight line containing the first direction X.

[0083] The specific structure of the height adjustment component 12 will be explained below, taking the example of the first axis being parallel to the first direction X.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 At this time, the first axis passes through the positioning part 122. The positioning part 122 includes a bottom wall 1221 and a side wall 1222, and at least one end of the mounting surface 1211 of the mounting part 121 is connected to the side wall 1222.

[0085] Specifically, one end of the side wall 1222 of the positioning part 122 in the first direction X is used to connect with the bottom wall 1221, and the other end is used to connect with the mounting surface 1211 of the mounting part 121.

[0086] The height adjustment component 12 includes three mounting portions 121 arranged in a ring around the positioning portion 122, and at this time, the mounting surfaces 1211 of all the mounting portions 121 are connected to the side wall 1222 of the positioning portion 122.

[0087] Of course, in some embodiments, the number of the above-mentioned mounting parts 121 may be two, four or even more. The number of mounting parts 121 can be adaptively adjusted according to the height adjustment needs and the size of the equipment, etc. This embodiment does not limit it.

[0088] The positioning part 122 can be a protrusion structure that protrudes along the first direction X relative to the mounting part 121, or it can be a groove structure that is recessed along the first direction X relative to the mounting part 121. Please refer to Figure 7 At this time, the positioning part 122 is a positioning groove recessed on the chassis 11, and it is a circular groove. Along the first direction X, the positioning groove is located on the side of the mounting part 121 facing away from the functional module 2.

[0089] In some similar embodiments, the positioning part 122 may also be a rectangular groove or the like. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the positioning part 122.

[0090] When the functional module 2 is inserted into the height adjustment member 12, the connecting part 210 of the functional module 2 can be at least partially inserted into the positioning groove, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the functional module 2 and the height adjustment member 12 to a certain extent.

[0091] Specifically, each mounting portion 121 includes at least two mounting surfaces 1211 arranged circumferentially along the positioning portion 122. When the functional module 2 is mounted on the chassis 11, the functional module 2 can simultaneously contact all mounting surfaces 1211 of the corresponding mounting portion 121.

[0092] Each mounting portion 121 includes two mounting surfaces 1211 arranged circumferentially spaced along the positioning portion 122. (See also...) Figure 7 The two mounting surfaces 1211 can be located on opposite sides of the respective positioning portions 122 in the radial direction. At this time, the connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2 has a similar straight-line structure to ensure that the functional module 2 can simultaneously contact at least two mounting surfaces 1211 of the corresponding mounting portion 121.

[0093] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the two mounting surfaces 1211 and the positioning part 122 can be configured to form a V-shaped structure. In this case, the connecting part 210 of the functional module 2 can have a similar V-shaped structure.

[0094] Alternatively, in some embodiments, any mounting portion 121 may include three mounting surfaces 1211 arranged circumferentially spaced along the positioning portion 122. In this case, the three mounting surfaces 1211 of the same mounting portion 121 may be arranged circumferentially spaced along the positioning portion 122 in the first direction X, and staggered with the mounting surfaces 1211 of another mounting portion 121. Correspondingly, the connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2 is a three-pronged structure (e.g., a Y-shaped or similar structure) corresponding to the mounting surfaces 1211 on the mounting portion 121, to ensure that the functional module 2 can simultaneously contact the three mounting surfaces 1211 on the corresponding mounting portion 121.

[0095] Of course, any mounting part 121 may have four or even more mounting surfaces 1211, and the shape of the connecting part 210 of the functional module 2 can be adjusted accordingly. As the number of mounting surfaces 1211 of the same mounting part 121 increases, the connection strength between the functional module 2 and the mounting part 121 can also be improved.

[0096] Please see Figure 7 The height adjustment member 12 also includes a partition 123. On a plane perpendicular to the first axis, the partition 123 is located between two adjacent mounting portions 121 to separate adjacent different mounting portions 121.

[0097] Specifically, the aforementioned partition 123 is provided between any two adjacent mounting portions 121.

[0098] On a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the partition 123 protrudes relative to the mounting portion 121 towards the first axis, thereby forming a physical separation boundary between two adjacent mounting portions 121 to clearly delineate the mounting areas corresponding to different mounting portions 121. At this time, the partition 123 can separate the mounting surfaces 1211 of adjacent different mounting portions 121, allowing the user to intuitively observe the areas corresponding to the mounting surfaces 1211 of different mounting portions 121, avoiding misalignment of the functional module 2 during installation. Furthermore, the partition 123 can, to a certain extent, combine with the mounting portion 121 to form a limiting area for the insertion of the connecting portion 210 of the functional module 2. This area not only clearly defines the installation position of the functional module 2 but also helps limit the displacement or offset of the functional module 2 around the first axis during installation, further reducing the installation difficulty of the functional module 2. Finally, the aforementioned partition 123 can also help improve the structural strength of the height adjustment member 12 provided on the chassis 11 to a certain extent, so as to reduce the deformation and wear of the height adjustment member 12 due to long-term stress, improve the reliability of the height adjustment member 12 to a certain extent, and extend its service life.

[0099] Specifically, when the positioning part 122 is circular, the partition part 123 can protrude inward along the radial direction of the positioning part 122 to separate the different mounting parts 121 arranged at intervals around the circumference of the positioning part 122; when the positioning part 122 is rectangular, the partition part 123 can protrude toward the center of the positioning part 122.

[0100] To facilitate users in quickly identifying the height corresponding to different mounting parts 121, in some embodiments, a height mark 1213 may be provided on any mounting part 121.

[0101] Please see Figure 7The height marking 1213 can be a height value directly marked on the mounting part 121 or the mounting surface 1211, or it can be the corresponding gear position. In addition, the height marking 1213 can be set on the mounting part 121 by means of spraying, pasting, engraving, or integral molding.

[0102] Taking the integral molding of the height marker 1213 and the mounting part 121 as an example, the height marker 1213 and the mounting part 121 are an inseparable integral structure, and the two can be manufactured by the same molding process (such as injection molding, die casting, etc.). The height marker manufactured by the integral molding process can help avoid problems such as wear, detachment, and loosening during long-term use, while simplifying the overall processing flow of the product and improving processing efficiency.

[0103] Specifically, with Figure 7 Taking the structure shown as an example, the height marking 1213 in the figure represents the gear positions marked on the mounting surface 1211. Gear position "1" represents that the functional module 2, which is mounted on the chassis 11 via the mounting part 121 corresponding to gear position "1", has the largest ground clearance (i.e., the distance between the end of the functional part 220 of the functional module 2 and the chassis 11 is the smallest). Gear position "3" represents that the functional module 2, which is mounted on the chassis 11 via the mounting part 121 corresponding to gear position "3", has the smallest ground clearance (i.e., the distance between the end of the functional part 220 of the functional module 2 and the chassis 11 is the largest). Gear position "2" represents that the ground clearance of the functional module 2, which is mounted on the chassis 11 via the mounting part 121 corresponding to gear position "2", is moderate.

[0104] The mounting surfaces 1211 corresponding to different mounting parts 121 are spaced apart in the first direction X.

[0105] Along the first direction X, the distance between the mounting surfaces 1211 in at least two different mounting portions 121 is a first preset distance, which is greater than or equal to 5 mm, and / or, the distance between the mounting surfaces 1211 in at least two different mounting portions 121 is a second preset distance, which is less than or equal to 100 mm.

[0106] Figure 8 for Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the unfolded inner surface of the height adjustment component 12.

[0107] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8At this point, the distance between the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "1" and the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "2" in the first direction X is defined as the first distance L1, the distance between the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "2" and the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "3" in the first direction X is defined as the second distance L2, and the distance between the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "1" and the mounting surface 1211 corresponding to gear position "3" in the first direction X is defined as the third distance L3.

[0108] It should be noted that, at this point, the smaller of the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 constitutes the first preset spacing mentioned above, and the third spacing L3 constitutes the second preset spacing mentioned above. Of course, when the dimensions of the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 are the same, both can constitute the first preset spacing mentioned above.

[0109] Specifically, one of the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 is the first preset spacing, which can be greater than or equal to 5mm; the third spacing L3 is the second preset spacing, which can be less than or equal to 100mm.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first preset spacing range can be set to 5mm~50mm, and the second preset spacing range can be set to 60~100mm.

[0111] Specifically, with Figure 8 Taking the structure shown as an example, the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 are both greater than or equal to 20mm and less than or equal to 50mm; the third spacing L3 is greater than or equal to 40mm and less than or equal to 80mm; of course, the third spacing L3 is the sum of the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2.

[0112] For example, the first spacing L1 can be set to any value among 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, etc., or the first spacing L1 can be located between any two of the above values; similarly, the second spacing L2 can be any value among the above values, or located between any two of the above values. The third spacing L3 can be any value among 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, etc., or located between any two of the above values.

[0113] The first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 can be the same or different.

[0114] For example, when the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 are the same, the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 can both be set to 20mm, and the third spacing L3 to 40mm; or, the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 can both be set to 30mm, and the third spacing L3 to 60mm; or, the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 can both be set to 40mm, and the third spacing L3 to 80mm. Of course, when the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 are different, the first spacing L1 can be set to 20mm, the second spacing L2 to 30mm, and the third spacing L3 to 50mm; or, the first spacing L1 can be set to 30mm, the second spacing L2 to 20mm, and the third spacing L3 to 50mm; or, the first spacing L1 can be set to 20mm, the second spacing L2 to 40mm, and the third spacing L3 to 60mm, etc.

[0115] Of course, in some embodiments, there is a distance greater than 80mm between at least two different mounting surfaces 1211, which will not be described in detail here.

[0116] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing the position adjustment of functional module 2 in the working equipment 10 provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0117] Please see Figure 9 When functional module 2 is connected to height adjustment component 12 via mounting surface 1211 corresponding to position "1", the connecting part 210 of functional module 2 can be inserted into the corresponding mounting part 121 separated by partition 123 along the first direction X and contact the mounting surface 1211. The second mounting hole 201 provided on the connecting part 210 is exactly aligned with the first mounting hole 1212 corresponding to position "1", so that fasteners can be inserted to fix functional module 2 to chassis 11. At this time, the end of functional module 2 fixed to chassis 11 via position "1" extends outward relative to chassis 11, and the distance between the end of functional module 2 and chassis 11 is minimal. When it is necessary to adjust / switch the above distance, the fixed connection between functional module 2 and chassis 11 can be released by rotating the fasteners, and functional module 2 can be pulled outward a certain distance along the first direction X until functional module 2 and partition 123 are released from their limit. Subsequently, the function module 2 is rotated so that the connecting part 210 of the function module 2 corresponds to one of the gear positions "2" and "3". Then, the function module 2 is inserted again into the corresponding mounting part 121 separated by the partition part 123 along the first direction X and comes into contact with the mounting surface 1211. At this time, the second mounting hole 201 provided on the connecting part 210 is exactly aligned with the first mounting hole 1212 corresponding to one of the gear positions "2" and "3", so that fasteners can be inserted to fix the function module 2 to the chassis 11.

[0118] When it is necessary to readjust the distance between the end of the functional module 2 and the chassis 11, simply repeat the above process and make the functional module 2 match the mounting part 121 represented by the corresponding gear position as needed. This will not be elaborated further here.

[0119] It should be noted that the above adjustment process can be achieved manually.

[0120] The working device 10 provided in this application embodiment can conveniently and quickly adjust the mounting height of the functional module 2 on the chassis 11 using fasteners, which has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and high structural stability. In addition, the above-mentioned working device 10 also has the advantage of high component versatility, which helps to reduce the processing cost of the equipment.

[0121] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of functional module 2 in the working equipment 10 provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 11 for Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure.

[0122] Figure 10 The functional module 2 shown is the mowing module, and the corresponding operating device 10 is a lawnmower. The lawnmower can adjust the distance between the mowing module and the ground through the height adjustment component 12, so as to adjust the height of the cut lawn according to different cutting requirements.

[0123] Of course, when functional module 2 is the cleaning component or cleaning roller brush mentioned above, the corresponding operating device 10 is a cleaning device. The cleaning device can achieve the function of lifting the cleaning component or cleaning roller brush off the ground through the height adjustment component 12 mentioned above, so as to meet different cleaning needs.

[0124] The following explanation uses functional module 2, the lawn mowing module, as an example to illustrate the structure of the lawn mowing module.

[0125] Please see Figure 10 The lawn mowing module includes a fixed housing 21. The fixed housing 21 forms the connecting part 210 described above, and a second mounting hole 201 is provided on the fixed housing 21.

[0126] Specifically, the fixed housing 21 is a columnar structure (which can be a cylindrical structure or a prism structure) extending along the first direction X. In a direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the fixed housing 21 has two opposing connecting members, each of which has the aforementioned second mounting hole 201. When the lawnmower module is mounted on the chassis 11 via the height adjustment member 12, the fixed housing 21 corresponds to the positioning part 122, and the two connecting members are distributed on the two mounting surfaces 1211 of the mounting part 121, corresponding to each other, to ensure that the first mounting hole 1212 can be coaxially aligned with the second mounting hole 201.

[0127] Please see Figure 10 The mowing module also includes a cutting section 22, which is connected to one end of the fixed housing 21 in the first direction X, for mowing operations.

[0128] Specifically, the cutting section 22 includes a cutting disc 221 and a cutting blade 222. The cutting blade 222 is mounted on the outer peripheral side of the cutting disc 221 in the radial direction. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 When the cutting disc 221 rotates at high speed, the cutting blade 222 can open under the action of centrifugal force, and cut the grass stem by the shearing force of the blade or the impact force brought by high-speed rotation when it comes into contact with the grass stem, so as to achieve the grass cutting function.

[0129] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the outer contour dimension of the cutting blade 221 is significantly larger than the outer contour dimension of the fixed housing 21.

[0130] To reduce the difficulty of installing the lawn mowing module and facilitate users in adjusting its installation height, in some embodiments, the functional unit 220 is provided with an operation hole 202. On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the second mounting hole 201 is located within the orthographic projection of the operation hole 202, and the axial direction of the second mounting hole 201 is parallel to the first direction X.

[0131] by Figure 10 and Figure 11 Taking the structure shown as an example, the cutting part 22 is provided with the operation hole 202 mentioned above.

[0132] Specifically, the operating hole 202 is provided on the cutting disc 221. On the same projection plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the second mounting hole 201 is located within the orthographic projection of the operating hole 202, and at this time the axial direction of the second mounting hole 201 is parallel to the first direction X.

[0133] When a user needs to install or remove fasteners, the tool used for installing or removing fasteners (such as a screwdriver) can be extended through the operating hole 202 into the second mounting hole 201 along the first direction X, and after completing the corresponding operation, the tool can be pulled out from the operating hole 202 along the first direction X.

[0134] To facilitate the rotation of the cutting section 22, the mowing module also includes a cutting drive 23, at least a portion of which is located inside the fixed housing 21, and the output end of the cutting drive 23 is connected to the cutting section 22.

[0135] Please see Figure 11The cutting drive unit 23 includes a cutting motor and a transmission component. The cutting motor drives the transmission component to rotate. The transmission component is connected to the cutting disc 221 to transmit the force output by the cutting motor to the cutting disc 221, thereby enabling the cutting disc 221 to rotate under the drive of the cutting motor.

[0136] Specifically, the transmission component can be a flange.

[0137] It is understood that the operating device 10 provided in this application embodiment has the advantage of simple structure. By adjusting the connection between the functional module 2 and the mounting portions 121 at different heights on the chassis 11, the extension length of the functional module 2 relative to the main unit 1 can be adjusted, thereby facilitating the height adjustment of the functional module 2 in normal working condition, allowing the functional module 2 to flexibly switch between different working heights. Furthermore, the height adjustment component 12 used for height adjustment also has the advantages of simple structure, high stability, and low processing cost. The height difference between the different mounting portions 121 on the height adjustment component 12 can be flexibly adjusted as needed, thus giving the functional module 2 a more flexible adjustment range, better suited to different user needs. When the functional module 2 is a mowing module, the operating device 10 is a lawnmower. In this case, the lawnmower has the advantages of simple structure, low processing cost, convenient operation, and a large cutting adjustment range, facilitating user operation and maintenance, and helping to improve the user experience.

[0138] Based on the same concept, this application also provides an operating system 100, please refer to... Figure 12 .

[0139] The operating system 100 includes a base station 20 and an operating device 10. The structure of the operating device 10 is described above. The base station 20 is used to cooperate with the operating device 10, and the base station 20 can also be used to park the operating device 10.

[0140] In some embodiments, the base station 20 can also be used to charge the work equipment 10.

[0141] Taking a lawnmower as an example of the operating equipment 10, the base station 20 is equipped with electrode plates for charging the lawnmower. When the lawnmower is parked on the base station 20, it can be electrically connected to the base station 20 through the electrode plates and charged.

[0142] The operating system 100 provided in this application includes the above-mentioned operating equipment 10. Therefore, the operating system 100 has the beneficial effects of including at least one or more of the above-mentioned operating equipment 10, which will not be repeated here.

[0143] The description of the various embodiments above tends to emphasize the differences between the various embodiments. The similarities or similarities between them can be referred to, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0144] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
