[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a monitoring device 5 includes:

[0037] The first outer casing 1 is provided with mounting posts 101;

[0038] The second outer shell 2 is provided with a connection hole 201. After the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are fitted together, an installation cavity 202 is formed.

[0039] The hook-lock component 3 includes a mounting plate 302 and a plurality of snap-fit ​​plates 301 connected to the mounting plate 302. The hook-lock assembly is located in the mounting cavity 202. The mounting position of the mounting plate 302 snaps into the mounting post 101. The snap-fit ​​plates 301 are correspondingly provided with the connecting holes 201. The snap-fit ​​plates 301 and the connecting holes 201 are used together to connect the body 601 of the garden robot 6.

[0040] The first outer shell 1 can be the outer shell of the entire monitoring device 5 near the outside, and the second outer shell 2 can be the outer shell of the entire monitoring device 5 near the body 601 of the garden robot 6. The two shells are fitted together and can form a mounting cavity 202 inside. Inside the mounting cavity 202, components such as the hook lock 3, the light panel, and the circuit box of the monitoring device 5 can be installed. The mounting post 101 can be cylindrical and can be set in the mounting box in the first outer shell 1. At the same time, the connection position with the inner wall of the mounting box is provided with reinforcing ribs. The second outer shell 2 has... A connection hole 201 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​plate 301 in the hook component is provided. The connection hole 201 can be penetrated by the lifting connection column in the garden robot 6. After the connection column is penetrated, it can snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​plate 301 of the hook lock component 3. After the hook lock component 3 moves away from the first outer shell 1 under the action of external force, the hook lock component 3 can be separated from the installation area of ​​the first outer shell 1. The four ends of the main plate-mounting plate 302 of the hook lock component 3 can be provided with plate-shaped snap-fit ​​plates 301 and the mounting positions with hollowed-out states are opened on the plate surface of the mounting plate 302.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 of the monitoring device 5 are provided with a structure for connecting to the hook lock 3. The connecting structure of the body 601 of the garden robot 6 can be connected to the hook lock 3 by passing through the connecting hole 201. In this way, when the garden robot 6 is working in the work area, it can maintain overall stability even when it travels to bumpy places.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second outer shell 2 is provided with a positioning hole 203, and the first outer shell 1 is provided with a positioning post 102. The positioning post 102 is sleeved with the positioning hole 203, and the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are fixedly installed.

[0043] The second outer shell 2 is provided with a positioning hole 203, and the first outer shell 1 is provided with a positioning post 102. The diameter of the positioning post 102 can be smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole 203. The positioning hole 203 and the positioning post 102 can be set into the shape of cylinders. After the positioning hole 203 and the positioning post 102 are properly matched, the two outer shells are stably connected. When the monitoring device 5 is moved to a pit or uneven ground, the outer shell will not fall off due to shaking. In another embodiment, the positioning hole 203 of the first outer shell 1 and the positioning post 102 of the second outer shell 2 can also be interchanged.

[0044] In some embodiments, a separation block 103 is provided between the snap-fit ​​plate 301 on the mounting plate 302 and the first housing 1 to separate the two.

[0045] The snap-fit ​​plate 301 and the first outer shell 1 are provided with a gap, and an isolation block 103 can be provided between the two. The number of isolation blocks 103 can be set according to the requirements to form an isolation space between the two. Other components, such as light panels, can be installed in the isolation space.

[0046] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 5 further includes an elastic element 4, and the first housing 1 is further provided with a connecting post. One end of the elastic element 4 is connected to the mounting plate 302, and the other end of the elastic element 4 is connected to the connecting post.

[0047] Among them, the elastic element 4 can be a spring or other elastic component. One end of the elastic element 4 is connected to the mounting plate 302, and the other end of the elastic element 4 is connected to the first outer shell 1. The two ends are connected in a stretched state. When the hook lock 3 is connected to the connection mechanism of the vehicle body 601, the hook lock 3 can be subjected to an external pulling force applied by a connection mechanism. After the external force applied to the hook lock 3 is removed, the elastic element 4 can reset the hook lock 3.

[0048] In some embodiments, the isolation block 103 and the connecting column are provided with reinforcing ribs in at least one direction.

[0049] Among them, the stiffening ribs of the isolation block 103 and the connecting column can increase the moment of inertia of the section, significantly improve the bending and torsional resistance of the component under stress, and reduce the local peak stress at the connection node or stress concentration area, preventing the material from cracking due to stress concentration.

[0050] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​plate 301 is disposed at the four ends of the mounting plate 302, the snap-fit ​​plate 301 is horizontally disposed relative to the mounting plate 302, and the connecting hole 201 is adapted to correspond to the snap-fit ​​plate 301 at the four ends of the mounting plate 302.

[0051] The snap-fit ​​plate 301 has a plate structure and can be set at the four outermost ends of the mounting plate 302. The snap-fit ​​plate 301 can be fixed in the mounting plate 302 by a threaded structure. The position, space and number of the connection holes 201 in the second shell 2 are respectively set to correspond to the four ends of the mounting plate 302. The two are adapted to each other, which is conducive to the connection structure of the body 601 of the garden robot 6 passing through the connection holes 201 to connect to the hook lock 3.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 302 is provided with a guide groove 3022, and the first housing 1 is provided with a guide post 3021, which moves within the guide groove 3022.

[0053] The guide post 3021 can be a column, a strip block, or other structure. The shape of the guide groove 3022 is adapted to the guide post 3021. For example, the guide groove 3022 can be set in the shape of a pill. In this way, the guide post 3021 can pass through the guide groove 3022. With the cooperation of the guide groove 3022 and the guide post 3021, the hook lock 3 is guided to move, which helps to prevent the hook lock 3 from deviating from the direction of movement and ensures the smooth operation of the hook lock 3.

[0054] In some embodiments, a connecting plate 3033 is provided at a position opposite to the mounting plate 302, and a button block 7 is provided at the bottom of the first housing 1, with the connecting plate 3033 housed inside the button block 7.

[0055] Two connecting plates 3033 can protrude outwards from the bottom of the mounting plate 302. The button block 7 can be set in the mounting cavity (that is, the bottom of the first outer shell 1). The protruding plates can be stacked on the button block 7 from top to bottom. In this way, the hook lock 3 can have a height relative to the bottom position to ensure the installation height of the hook lock 3. At the same time, the relative height of the hook lock 3 can be adjusted by pressing the button block 7 (the connecting plates 3033 are located on both sides of the grid plate of the button block 7. After pressing the button block 7, the hook lock 3 will move from bottom to top. The edge of the grid plate of the button block 7 will move against the mounting plate 302. At this time, the entire monitoring device 5 can be detached from the garden robot 6. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​plate 301 that is locked with the connecting bar 602 of the body 601 inside the connecting hole 201 is detached. There is no connection structure between the monitoring device 5 and the garden robot 6), ensuring a stable connection between the hook lock 3 and the body.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, a garden robot 6 disclosed in this application includes a body 601 and a monitoring device 5, wherein the body 601 and the monitoring device 5 are fixedly connected.

[0057] The garden robot 6 and the monitoring device 5 can be detachably connected. They can be connected to the locking components on the monitoring device 5 via the lifting connecting columns on the vehicle body 601. The two can be fixedly connected by snap-fit. Specifically, the four lifting connecting columns are connected to the four snap-fit ​​plates 301 in the locking components to achieve overall stability through the connection in four directions, so as to avoid the garden robot 6 from shaking when it moves to a pit or bumpy area.

[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle body 601 includes a connecting structure 602, the connecting structure 602 having a slot 603, the slot 603 passing through the connecting hole 201 of the monitoring device 5 and then engaging with the snap-fit ​​plate 301 in the monitoring device 5.

[0059] The connecting structure 602 can be a push rod structure (which can control the ground clearance of the monitoring device 5). In addition, the top of the connecting structure 602 is provided with a pointed tip, and a slot 603 is provided at the interval between the pointed tips. When the pointed tip of the connecting rod passes through the connecting hole 201 of the monitoring device 5, the slot 603 can engage with the side wall of the snap-fit ​​plate 301 to achieve a stable connection between the vehicle body 601 and the monitoring device 5.
