[0041] The existing garden tool switch box 200 requires separate installation using screws and other fasteners, resulting in numerous assembly steps and low assembly efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 9 Therefore, this application provides a garden tool. This garden tool can be a handheld garden tool such as a washing machine, chainsaw, lawnmower, or trimmer, or a mobile garden tool such as a lawnmower or snowplow. Taking a washing machine as an example, the garden tool uses the connecting parts of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to position the switch box 200. After the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together, the switch box 200 is assembled in the installation area 130. This eliminates the need for separate installation of the switch box 200 using screws or other fasteners, reducing the assembly steps of the switch box 200, improving the assembly efficiency of the switch box 200, and thus improving the overall assembly efficiency of the garden tool.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The garden tool includes a housing 100, a connector, a switch box 200, and a switch 300. The housing 100 includes a first housing 110 and a second housing 120 that are fitted together, forming the housing 100 after the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together. A mounting area 130 is formed at the outer periphery of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, which is provided in the housing 100 to accommodate the switch box 200, such that the switch box 200 is at least partially exposed outside the housing 100. A first connecting portion 111 and a second connecting portion 121 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, wherein the first connecting portion 111 is located on the side of the first housing 110 facing the second housing 120, and the second connecting portion 121 is located on the side of the second housing 120 facing the first housing 110. The connector connects the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 121 to fix the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. A switch box 200 is disposed in the mounting area 130. The switch box 200 is at least partially adapted to the mounting area 130 so that the surface of the housing 100 is intact, and the switch box 200 can be fixed to the mounting area 130. The switch box 200 includes a mounting portion 210 and a mounting hole 220 facing outwards from the housing 100. The mounting portion 210 is fitted onto a first connecting portion 111 and / or a second connecting portion 121. The switch 300 is snapped into the mounting hole 220.

[0044] For example, the mounting part 210 may be sleeved on the first connecting part 111; the mounting part 210 may also be sleeved on the second connecting part 121; the mounting part 210 may also be partially sleeved on the first connecting part 111 and partially sleeved on the second connecting part 121.

[0045] When assembly is required, the mounting part 210 is fitted onto the first connecting part 111 or the second connecting part 121, and then the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together. At this time, the mounting part 210 can be fitted onto the first connecting part 111 and / or the second connecting part 121. The switch box 200 is assembled at the mounting area 130 by fastening the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 together. Then, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 are connected by a connector to fix the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 together, thereby fixing the housing 100 and the switch box 200 relatively.

[0046] The switch box 200 of the garden tool of this application does not need to be assembled onto the housing 100 separately using screws or other fasteners. The switch box 200 is assembled onto the housing 100 using the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121. This achieves the simultaneous fixation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 and completes the assembly of the switch box 200, reducing the steps in assembling the switch box 200, reducing assembly processes, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] The assembly of the switch box 200 does not require the use of screws or other fasteners for installation, reducing the number of screw posts in the housing and switch box 200, simplifying the design of the housing and switch box 200, facilitating the production of the housing and switch box 200, reducing the probability of shrinkage and other problems on the housing appearance, and improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance.

[0048] For example, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 are provided correspondingly, and multiple first connecting parts 111 and second connecting parts 121 are provided to improve the stability of the connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 and prevent the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 from detaching.

[0049] In some embodiments, the connector is a component such as a screw or bolt used for connection and fastening.

[0050] The first connecting part 111 is a screw post with internal threads for screws or bolts to be threadedly connected to the screw post, thereby achieving the connection and fixation between the connector and the first connecting part 111.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second connecting part 121 has a through hole 1212, which penetrates the second housing 120 so that the connector can pass through the second connecting part 121 and be connected and fixed to the first connecting part 111.

[0052] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 121 has a countersunk hole 1213, which is coaxial with the through hole 1212. The countersunk hole 1213 penetrates the second connecting portion 121 in a direction away from the first connecting portion 111. The head of the connector can be inserted into the countersunk hole 1213 so that the connector is hidden in the second housing 120, avoiding the connector from being exposed. On the one hand, this can prevent the connector from being damaged and ensure the connection stability between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. On the other hand, it can improve the aesthetics and neatness of the garden tools.

[0053] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the switch box 200 includes a main body 260, which has a mounting cavity for receiving the switch 300, so that the switch 300 can be snapped into the switch box 200.

[0054] For example, the inner side of the mounting cavity of switch 300 is inserted into the mounting cavity, and switch 300 is at least partially exposed outside the mounting cavity after passing through the mounting cavity, so that switch 300 can be snapped into switch box 200 and switch 300 can be used conveniently.

[0055] The inner side of the mounting cavity refers to the side of the switch box 200 that is close to the inside of the housing 100 after it is assembled into the housing 100, and the outer side of the mounting cavity refers to the side of the switch box 200 that is close to the outside of the housing 100 after it is assembled into the housing 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 210 is fixed to the main body portion 260, and the fixing method includes, but is not limited to, integral molding, adhesive bonding, and welding. Preferably, the mounting portion 210 and the main body portion 260 are integrally molded, which facilitates manufacturing and reduces production steps.

[0057] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, multiple mounting portions 210 are provided, for example, two, three, four or more. The positions of the mounting portions 210 correspond to the positions of the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 121. By providing multiple mounting portions 210, the switch box 200 can be better positioned and limited, preventing relative rotation between the switch box 200 and the first housing 110 or the second housing 120 when the mounting portion 210 is sleeved on the first connecting portion 111 or the second connecting portion 121, thus facilitating the positioning and installation of the switch box 200.

[0058] Preferably, two mounting portions 210 are provided, located on both sides of the main body 260. These two mounting portions 210 can limit the switch box 200 from rotating relative to the first housing 110 or the second housing 120, ensuring the switch box 200 is installed in the preset position. Furthermore, having fewer mounting portions 210 facilitates the design and manufacturing of the switch box 200, reducing material usage and production costs.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the mounting part 210 is provided with a limiting hole 211, which is fitted onto the first connecting part 111. When installing the switch box 200, the first connecting part 111 is first inserted into the limiting hole 211 to install the switch box 200 on the first housing 110, and then the switch box 200 is fixed by the engagement of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The outer periphery of the first connecting part 111 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 112. The reinforcing ribs 112 extend away from the first connecting part 111 to improve the strength of the first connecting part 111 and reduce the risk of the first connecting part 111 detaching from the first housing 110.

[0061] A step is formed between the reinforcing rib 112 and the first connecting portion 111. The mounting portion 210 abuts against the reinforcing rib 112 to limit the length of the first connecting portion 111 inserted into the limiting hole 211. When the mounting portion 210 moves to the step, the reinforcing rib 112 protrudes too much and cannot be inserted into the limiting hole 211. Therefore, when the mounting portion 210 abuts against the reinforcing rib 112, the length of the first connecting portion 111 inserted into the limiting hole 211 can be limited. On the one hand, the relative position of the switch box 200 and the first housing 110 can be limited during installation. On the other hand, the relative position of the switch box 200 and the first housing 110 can also be limited after assembly, improving the situation of switch box 200 shaking.

[0062] There can be one or more reinforcing ribs 112. Preferably, there are multiple reinforcing ribs 112, such as 2, 3, 4, etc., to improve the stability of the first connecting part 111 and prevent the first connecting part 111 from detaching from the first housing 110.

[0063] In some embodiments, the surface of the reinforcing rib 112 away from the first connecting portion 111 is an inclined surface. The inclined surface slopes away from the head of the first connecting portion 111 towards the root of the first connecting portion 111, where the root of the first connecting portion 111 is the end where the first connecting portion 111 connects to the main body of the first housing 110. In other words, the height of the reinforcing rib 112 gradually increases from the head of the first connecting portion 111 towards the root of the first connecting portion 111, ensuring the connection strength between the first connecting portion 111 and the main body of the first housing 110.

[0064] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a connecting rib 113 protruding from the outer periphery of the first connecting portion 111 is provided, and a limiting hole 211 is sleeved on the connecting rib 113. The distance between the connecting rib 113 and the edge of the limiting hole 211 is not greater than a preset threshold.

[0065] The connecting rib 113 extends away from the first connecting part 111, which can improve the situation where the gap between the first connecting part 111 and the limiting hole 211 is too large, and is more conducive to positioning the mounting part 210 and the switch box 200.

[0066] The distance between the connecting rib 113 and the edge of the limiting hole 211 is not greater than a preset threshold, thereby limiting the position of the switch box 200 and the housing 100, ensuring assembly accuracy, and reducing the shaking of the switch box 200.

[0067] Preferably, the connecting rib 113 and the limiting hole 211 are interference-fitted so that after the limiting hole 211 and the connecting rib 113 are fitted together, the switch box 200 and the first housing 110 remain relatively fixed, preventing the switch box 200 from shaking and facilitating the use of the switch 300.

[0068] For example, the connecting rib 113 and the reinforcing rib 112 may or may not abut together. Preferably, the connecting rib 113 and the reinforcing rib 112 abut together to facilitate the production of the switch box 200. For example, if the switch box 200 is an injection molded switch box 200, the abutment between the connecting rib 113 and the reinforcing rib 112 facilitates mold design and makes mold opening easier.

[0069] In some embodiments, the side of the connecting rib 113 away from the first connecting portion 111 is an inclined guide surface, which is inclined from the side of the connecting rib 113 away from the reinforcing rib 112 toward the side closer to the reinforcing rib 112 and away from the first connecting portion 111. The limiting hole 211 is interference-fitted with the end of the connecting rib 113 near the reinforcing rib 112.

[0070] By interfering with the limiting hole 211 and the connecting rib 113, the switch box 200 and the housing 100 remain relatively fixed after the limiting hole 211 and the connecting rib 113 are engaged, reducing the shaking of the switch box 200 and facilitating the use of the switch 300.

[0071] The side of the connecting rib 113 away from the first connecting part 111 is an inclined guide surface, which facilitates the insertion of the connecting rib 113 into the limiting hole 211 and guides the relative movement between the limiting hole 211 and the connecting rib 113, thus enabling the installation of the switch box 200.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 121 abuts against the first connecting portion 111, and the outer diameter of the second connecting portion 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting hole 211.

[0073] The insertion depth of the first connecting part 111 into the limiting hole 211 is limited by the connecting rib 113 or the reinforcing rib 112, thereby limiting the movement of the switch box 200 from the second housing 120 towards the first housing 110 after the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together. Because the outer diameter of the second connecting part 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting hole 211, the movement of the mounting part 210 towards the second connecting part 121 can be limited, that is, the movement of the switch box 200 from the first housing 110 towards the second housing 120 after the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together can be limited. For example, after the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together, the position of the switch box 200 and the housing 100 is relatively fixed, and the switch box 200 cannot move along the direction between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0074] By restricting the movement of the switch box 200 along the direction of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the relative position of the switch box 200 and the housing 100 can be restricted, ensuring that the switch box 200 is installed in a preset position, and reducing the shaking of the switch box 200 after installation, making it convenient to use the switch 300.

[0075] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the end of the second connecting portion 121 near the first connecting portion 111 is provided with a recess 1211, and the first connecting portion 111 is matched and inserted into the recess 1211.

[0076] By setting the concave hole 1211, the depth of the first connecting part 111 inserted into the limiting hole 211 can be increased, preventing the switch box 200 from falling off the first connecting part 111. At the same time, the machining accuracy of the first connecting part 111 and the mounting part 210 can be reduced. Within a certain error range, the first connecting part 111 and the mounting part 210 can ensure the connection between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121, thereby ensuring that the connector can fix the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121, and realize the relative fixation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0077] Please see Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the switch box 200 includes a protrusion 230 and a first limiting portion 240. The protrusion 230 is located in the mounting area 130 and matches the mounting area 130. The first limiting portion 240 is disposed on the side of the protrusion 230 near the inside of the housing 100, and the first limiting portion 240 abuts against the wall of the mounting area 130 near the inside of the housing 100.

[0078] The first limiting part 240 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting area 130 to limit the switch box 200, preventing the switch box 200 from detaching from the housing 100 and ensuring the connection stability between the switch box 200 and the housing 100.

[0079] By matching the protrusion 230 with the installation area 130, the uniformity and aesthetics of the garden tools' appearance are ensured.

[0080] In some embodiments, the protrusion 230 is flush with the outer wall of the housing 100 to further ensure the aesthetic appearance of the garden tool.

[0081] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a second limiting portion 140, which is disposed on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the mounting area 130, and the inner periphery of the second limiting portion 140 matches the outer periphery of the first limiting portion 240.

[0082] By matching the inner periphery of the second limiting part 140 with the outer periphery of the first limiting part 240, the second limiting part 140 limits the first limiting part 240, reducing the wobbling of the first limiting part 240 in the front, back, left, and right directions, thereby reducing the wobbling of the switch box 200 and facilitating the use of the switch 300.

[0083] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a gripping portion 150 located on the upper part of the housing 100.

[0084] The grip section 150 is used by the operator to hold and grip the garden tools, so as to facilitate the operator's operation and use of the garden tools.

[0085] The switch box 200 includes a protective section 250, which is at least partially located between the handle section 150 and the switch 300. The height of the portion of the protective section 250 located between the handle section 150 and the switch 300 is higher than the height of the handle section 150 and not lower than the height of the switch 300.

[0086] When the operator holds the garden tools, their hand needs to press or touch switch 300 to start or stop the tools. In a relaxed state, the operator's fingers are naturally bent or straight, and under the influence of gravity, they are prone to accidentally touching switch 300, causing the garden tools to start or stop unintentionally.

[0087] This application incorporates a protective section 250, positioned at least between the handle 150 and the switch 300, with the protective section 250 being higher than the handle 150. When using garden tools, the operator can rest their fingers on the protective section 250, preventing accidental activation of the switch 300, reducing the risk of misoperation, and improving the safety of operating garden tools. When needed, the switch 300 can be pressed or accidentally activated by bending the finger joints, without affecting its normal operation.

[0088] In some embodiments, the protective portion 250 is semi-circular, with the semi-circular opening facing the end of the protective portion 250 away from the holding portion 150.

[0089] Since different operators have different finger lengths, the semi-circular protective part 250 with an opening is designed to ensure that fingers of different lengths can press or touch the switch 300. This avoids the situation where the protective part 250 restricts the pressing or touching of the switch 300 when the fingers are too long, thus facilitating the use of garden tools.

[0090] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the switch box 200 includes an extension 270 that extends from the main body 260 toward a semi-annular opening.

[0091] When the switch box 200 is installed on the first housing 110, at least one first connecting portion 111 is located below the extension 270. The extension 270 abuts against the reinforcing rib 112 on the first connecting portion 111. The lower part of the extension 270 refers to the side of the extension 270 away from the mounting area 130. By abutting against the reinforcing rib 112, the downward movement of the extension 270 is restricted. The upward movement of the switch box 200 is restricted by the first limiting portion 240. This achieves vertical positioning of the switch box 200 and the housing 100, preventing the switch box 200 from detaching from the housing 100 or sinking into the housing 100, thus improving the durability of the switch box 200.

[0092] In this application, the garden tool, when assembly is required, has its mounting part 210 fitted onto the first connecting part 111 and / or the second connecting part 121. Then, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are fastened together, and the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 are connected by a connector to fix the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, thereby securing the switch box 200 in the mounting area 130 of the housing. This eliminates the need for separate fasteners such as screws to assemble it onto the housing 100. By using the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 to assemble the switch box 200 onto the housing 100, the assembly of the switch box 200 is completed simultaneously with the fixation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, reducing the steps and processes involved in assembling the switch box 200 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0093] The assembly of the switch box 200 does not require the use of screws or other fasteners, reducing the number of screw posts in the housing and switch box 200, simplifying the design of the housing and switch box 200, facilitating the production of the housing and switch box 200, reducing the probability of shrinkage and other problems on the housing appearance, and improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance. Therefore, this application effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art and thus has high utilization value and practical significance.

[0094] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
