[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a self-propelled lawnmower with a collision avoidance structure, including a lawnmower body 1. A collision avoidance alarm component 2 is connected to the surface of the lawnmower body 1. The collision avoidance alarm component 2 includes a fixing frame 201. A laser radar 204 is connected to the center of the fixing frame 201. An ultrasonic sensor 203 is connected to one side of the laser radar 204. An infrared sensor 202 is connected to one side of the ultrasonic sensor 203. A mounting groove 207 is opened on the top of the fixing frame 201. A top cover 205 is provided inside the mounting groove 207. Slots 206 are opened on both sides of the top cover 205. Fixing blocks 208 are connected to both sides of the fixing frame 201. A first spring 2 is connected inside the fixing block 208. 09. A push plate 210 is connected to one side of the first spring 209. A lever 211 is connected to the top of the push plate 210. An insert block 212 is connected to one side of the push plate 210. An alarm 213 is connected to the top of the lawnmower body 1. An infrared sensor 202, an ultrasonic sensor 203, a laser radar 204, and the alarm 213 are all electrically connected. The outer surfaces of both sides of the top cover 205 are in contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 207. The top cover 205 and the mounting groove 207 form a sliding connection. The surface of the insert block 212 has a bevel. The insert block 212 and the slot 206 form an insertion connection. The outer surface of the push plate 210 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixing block 208. The push plate 210 and the first spring 209 form an elastic structure.

[0028] The effect achieved in Embodiment 1 is that, when the lawnmower body 1 is working, the lidar 204 can accurately detect terrain undulations, obstacle distances, and shapes; the infrared sensor 202 performs excellently in nighttime or low-light environments, and can detect heat targets such as humans and animals, compensating for the lidar 204's shortcomings in low light; and the ultrasonic sensor 203 is low-cost and has high accuracy in close-range detection, making it suitable for obstacle avoidance in low-speed scenarios. Thus, by using these sensors in conjunction with the alarm 213, effective obstacle avoidance can be achieved, while significantly improving environmental awareness and safety. When it is necessary to open the mounting bracket 201 to replace or repair the internal sensor, the two sets of levers 211 can be pulled to both sides simultaneously, causing the insert 212 to retract, so that the insert 212 can be pulled out of the slot 206 of the top cover 205. Then, pull the top cover 205 outward, so that the top cover 205 can slide out of the mounting groove 207 to complete the disassembly. After the internal sensor is repaired or replaced, the top cover 205 can be pushed into the mounting groove 207. The insert 212 will automatically retract after being squeezed. When the top cover 205 is fully pushed into the mounting groove 207, the first spring 209 will push the push plate 210 through its own elasticity, causing the insert 212 to be inserted into the slot 206 and fixed. This completes the disassembly of the top cover 205, which facilitates the repair or replacement of the internal processor and increases the overall practicality.

[0029] Example 2, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the lawnmower body 1 is connected to an anti-collision component 3. The anti-collision component 3 includes a support frame 301. Dampers 302 are connected to each of the four corners of the support frame 301. Grooves 303 are opened inside both sides of the support frame 301. Connecting rods 304 are inserted into the grooves 303. Second springs 305 are sleeved on both sides of the connecting rods 304. Slider 306 is connected to the inner side of each of the two sets of second springs 305. A first rotating shaft 307 is connected to the top of the slider 306. A sliding rod 308 is connected to the surface of shaft 307. A second rotating shaft 309 is connected to one side of the sliding rod 308. A crash plate 310 is connected to the top of the four sets of dampers 302. A sliding connection is formed between the slider 306 and the connecting rod 304. An elastic structure is formed between the slider 306 and the second spring 305. The slider 306 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 308 through the first rotating shaft 307. The sliding rod 308 is rotatably connected to the crash plate 310 through the second rotating shaft 309.

[0030] The effect achieved in Embodiment 2 is that when the anti-collision plate 310 collides with an obstacle, the anti-collision plate 310 will be squeezed towards the lawnmower body 1 under the impact force. Then, the anti-collision plate 310 will rotate through the second rotating shaft 309 and the sliding rod 308, thereby causing the other side of the sliding rod 308 to rotate with the first rotating shaft 307. This allows the first rotating shaft 307 to push the slider 306 to squeeze the second spring 305. In this way, it can work with the four sets of dampers 302 to play a shock absorption and protection role. When accidentally hitting an obstacle, the second spring 305 can also work with the dampers 302 to achieve a collision and shock absorption purpose, thereby protecting the lawnmower body 1 and avoiding the problem that accidental collisions can easily damage the lawnmower body 1.

[0031] Working principle: The lidar 204 can accurately detect terrain undulations, obstacle distances, and shapes. The infrared sensor 202 performs excellently in nighttime or low-light environments, detecting heat targets such as humans and animals, compensating for the lidar 204's shortcomings in low light. The ultrasonic sensor 203 is low-cost and has high accuracy at close range, suitable for obstacle avoidance in low-speed scenarios. Effective obstacle avoidance can be achieved through these sensors and the alarm 213, significantly improving environmental awareness and safety. In the event of unintentional obstacle collision, the second spring 305, in conjunction with the damper 302, provides shock absorption and protection for the lawnmower body 1, preventing damage from accidental impacts.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
