[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a housing assembly, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The device includes a housing 1, a flip cover 2, and an elastic element. The housing 1 is provided with a button 3, and the flip cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. The elastic element is disposed between the flip cover 2 and the housing 1. The elastic element can apply an elastic force to the flip cover 2 so that the flip cover 2 rotates away from the button 3 so as not to cover the button 3. When the flip cover 2 is subjected to an external force exceeding the elastic force of the elastic element, it can rotate towards the button 3 so as to cover the button 3.

[0023] As an example, the housing assembly can be applied to many devices, such as lawnmower robots. The housing assembly includes a housing 1, a flip cover 2, and elastic elements (such as torsion springs, leaf springs, or other elastic structures). A button 3 is provided on the housing 1, which can be a control button, an emergency stop button, or a power switch. During installation, the flip cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1, with the elastic element positioned between the flip cover 2 and the housing 1. This configuration allows the elastic element to apply an elastic force to the flip cover 2, causing it to rotate away from the button 3, thus not obscuring it. For example, the flip cover 2 may be in a vertical position, making it easy for the user to trigger the button 3, ensuring normal device operation. When the flip cover 2 is subjected to an external force exceeding the elastic force of the elastic element, the flip cover 2 can rotate towards the button 3, obscuring it. For example, the flip cover 2 may be in a horizontal position, thus protecting the button 3 from accidental triggering by obstacles (such as tree branches), ensuring normal device operation.

[0024] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The flip cover 2 includes a covering part 21 and two connecting parts 22 extending from one end of the covering part 21 in the same direction; the housing 1 is also provided with a support 4, and the two connecting parts 22 are rotatably connected to the support 4 from opposite sides of the support 4; after the flip cover 2 is rotated, the projection of the covering part 21 at least partially covers the button 3.

[0025] As an example, the flip cover 2 includes a covering part 21 and two connecting parts 22. The two connecting parts 22 are components that extend from one end of the covering part 21 in the same direction. A support 4 is also provided on the housing 1. The two connecting parts 22 are rotatably connected to the support 4 from opposite sides of the support 4. This can increase the connection stability between the flip cover 2 and the support 4 and make the rotation of the flip cover 2 smoother. An elastic element can be disposed between the connecting part 22 / covering part 21 and the housing 1. For example, the elastic element is a torsion spring. The two connecting parts 22 are rotatably mounted on the support 4 through a rotating shaft. The torsion spring is fitted on the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring abuts against the housing 1, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts against the connecting part 22 / covering part 21. Under the action of the elastic force of the torsion spring, the flip cover 2 rotates away from the button 3. The covering part 21 does not cover the button 3, which makes it easy for the user to trigger the button 3, thereby ensuring that the device can be used normally. When the flip cover 2 is subjected to an external force exceeding the elastic force of the elastic element, the flip cover 2 can rotate towards the button 3. The projection of the covering part 21 at least partially covers the button 3. In this way, the button 3 on the device can be protected by the flip cover 2 to prevent the button 3 from being accidentally triggered by obstacles (such as tree branches), thus ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0026] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The flip cover 2 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the second end of the flip cover 2 is provided with a limiting member 5. The limiting member 5 is used to abut against the housing 1 when the flip cover 2 covers the button 3, so that there is a gap between the flip cover 2 and the button 3.

[0027] As an example, the flip cover 2 has a first end and a second end. During installation, the first end of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and a limiting member 5 is provided at the second end of the flip cover 2. With this configuration, when the flip cover 2 covers the button 3, the limiting member 5 abuts against the housing 1, which can create a gap between the flip cover 2 and the button 3, preventing the flip cover 2 from rotating too much and pressing the button 3, avoiding the button 3 from being accidentally triggered, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0028] In one embodiment, the housing assembly further includes a mounting base, with the flip cover 2 disposed on the mounting base, which is mounted on the housing 1 via a detachable structure.

[0029] As an example, the housing assembly also includes a mounting base. During installation, the flip cover 2 is positioned on the mounting base, which is then detachably mounted on the housing 1. This configuration allows the flip cover 2 and the mounting base to be made as accessories, detachably mounted on the housing 1, allowing the user to choose whether or not to install them. For example, if a user frequently encounters accidental triggering of button 3 while using the device, this accessory can be added.

[0030] In one embodiment, the detachable structure includes any one of a screw assembly, a magnetic assembly, and a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0031] As an example, the detachable structure includes any one of a screw assembly, a magnetic assembly, and a snap-fit ​​assembly; For example, the screw assembly includes multiple screws, and the mounting base is mounted on the housing 1 by the multiple screws.

[0032] For example, the magnetic suction assembly includes a first magnetic suction component and a second magnetic suction component. The first magnetic suction component is disposed on the mounting base, and the second magnetic suction component is disposed on the housing 1. The first magnetic suction component and the second magnetic suction component are magnetically connected to each other to fix the mounting base on the housing 1.

[0033] For example, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​and a snap-fit ​​base. One of the snap-fit ​​and the snap-fit ​​base is disposed on the mounting base, and the other is disposed on the housing 1. The snap-fit ​​and the snap-fit ​​base are engaged to fix the mounting base to the housing 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing assembly also includes a locking structure. The flip cover 2 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the locking structure is disposed at the second end of the flip cover 2. When the flip cover 2 is flipped to a state where it does not cover the button 3, the locking structure is used to fix the flip cover 2 to the housing 1.

[0035] As an example, the housing assembly also includes a locking structure. The flip cover 2 has a first end and a second end. During installation, the first end of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the locking structure is located at the second end of the flip cover 2. When the flip cover 2 is flipped to the state where it does not cover the button 3, the locking structure fixes the flip cover 2 to the housing 1. When the flip cover 2 is not in use, it is easy to lock the flip cover 2 to prevent it from rotating and covering the button 3 when subjected to external force. When the flip cover 2 needs to be used, the locking structure can be released, allowing the flip cover 2 to stand up again. Other modules, such as a vision module, can also be provided on the housing 1 to facilitate the detection of the device's working environment. The locking structure can be connected to the vision module.

[0036] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The locking structure includes any one of the following: snap-fit ​​component 6, magnetic connection component, and adhesive component.

[0037] As an example, several structural forms of the locking structure are introduced, including any one of the following: snap-fit ​​assembly 6, magnetic connection assembly, and adhesive assembly. For example, the magnetic connection assembly includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element; during installation, the first magnetic element is set at the second end of the flip cover 2, and the second magnetic element is set at the housing 1. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically connected to fix the flip cover 2 to the housing 1. When the flip cover 2 is not in use, it is easy to lock the flip cover 2 to prevent the flip cover 2 from rotating the cover button 3 when subjected to external force; when the flip cover 2 needs to be used, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are released, allowing the flip cover 2 to stand up again.

[0038] For example, the adhesive assembly includes a first adhesive component and a second adhesive component. During installation, the first adhesive component is placed at the second end of the flip cover 2, and the second adhesive component is placed on the housing 1. The first adhesive component and the second adhesive component are connected to fix the flip cover 2 to the housing 1. When the flip cover 2 is not in use, it is easy to lock the flip cover 2 to prevent the flip cover 2 from rotating the cover button 3 when subjected to external force. When the flip cover 2 needs to be used, the first adhesive component and the second adhesive component are released to allow the flip cover 2 to stand up again.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​assembly 6 includes a first snap-fit ​​component 61 and a second snap-fit ​​component 62; the first snap-fit ​​component 61 is disposed at the second end of the flip cover 2, and the second snap-fit ​​component 62 is disposed on the housing 1, and the first snap-fit ​​component 61 and the second snap-fit ​​component 62 snap-fit ​​together.

[0040] As an example, the snap-fit ​​assembly 6 includes a first snap-fit ​​member 61 and a second snap-fit ​​member 62. During installation, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 is placed at the second end of the flip cover 2, and the second snap-fit ​​member 62 is placed on the housing 1. The first snap-fit ​​member 61 and the second snap-fit ​​member 62 snap-fit ​​together to fix the flip cover 2 to the housing 1. When the flip cover 2 is not in use, it is easy to lock the flip cover 2 to prevent the flip cover 2 from rotating the cover button 3 when subjected to external force. When the flip cover 2 needs to be used, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 and the second snap-fit ​​member 62 are released from their snap-fit ​​state, allowing the flip cover 2 to stand up again.
