In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, horizontal, vertical, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0022] Due to installation errors and other reasons, the parallel relationship referred to in the embodiments of this utility model may actually be an approximate parallel relationship, and the perpendicular relationship may actually be an approximate perpendicular relationship.

[0023] This utility model provides a lawnmower charging platform for parking and powering an intelligent self-driving lawnmower, comprising a base 1, a rear support 2, and a top plate 3, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0024] The bottom of the base 1 is designed to fit the placement area. The bottom of the base 1 may be equipped with anti-slip pads for direct placement, or the base 1 may be provided with mounting holes for fixing to the ground using anchor screws or other connecting parts.

[0025] The rear support 2 is located on the rear side of the base 1. The rear support 2 is configured to have a set height. The rear end of the top plate 3 is connected to the top of the rear support 2. The top plate 3 and the base 1 form a space of a set height for accommodating the lawnmower.

[0026] The lawnmower travels to a stop above the base 1. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with undulating textures 11. The textures 11 are distributed on both sides of the upper surface of the base 1, corresponding to the positions of the lawnmower's two tires, forming effective friction to prevent slippage. The textures 11 include, but are not limited to, diagonal patterns, wave patterns, cross patterns, etc., which can enhance the friction between the base 1 and the lawnmower tires.

[0027] The base 1 is also provided with a drainage hole 12, which extends vertically through the base 1 and / or connects to the outer edge of the base 1. When there is rainwater on the base 1, the rainwater is quickly drained away through the drainage hole 12.

[0028] The bottom of the rear bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the top plate 3 is connected to the rear bracket 2 via the frame rod 4, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 The frame rod 4 has an L-shaped structure, including a first rod part 41 and a second rod part 42 with a set included angle. The first rod part 41 is fixedly connected to the top plate 3. The rear support 2 is provided with a countersunk hole 23 for inserting the second rod part 42. The top of the countersunk hole 23 is connected to the top of the rear support 2 to form an opening. The second rod part 42 of the frame rod 4 is inserted into the countersunk hole 23 from top to bottom, forming a connection between the top plate 3 and the rear support 2.

[0029] The first rod part 41 of the frame rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top plate 3 by bolts. Preferably, the head of the bolt is provided with a sheet-like rubber pad 31. The sheet-like rubber pad 31 abuts against the upper surface of the top plate 3 to cover the connection gap of the bolt, forming a good seal and preventing water leakage.

[0030] Furthermore, the second rod portion 42 of the frame rod 4 is provided with one or more positioning holes 43, and the rear bracket 2 is provided with one or more through holes 24. The through holes 24 are connected inward to the countersunk hole 23. A positioning element is detachably inserted into the through hole 24. The positioning element is further inserted into the positioning hole 43, thereby supporting and fixing the second rod portion 42 at a set height position in the countersunk hole 23 through the positioning element. Preferably, when multiple positioning holes 43 are provided, the multiple positioning holes 43 are distributed at a set interval along the length direction of the second rod portion 42. When multiple through holes 24 are provided, the multiple through holes 24 are distributed at a set height interval along the axial direction of the countersunk hole 23, thereby giving the top plate 3 multiple adjustable height positions to adapt to different models of lawnmower equipment and different application scenarios.

[0031] Preferably, the positioning components include, but are not limited to, studs, pins, etc.

[0032] In this embodiment, a power connector 21 is provided on the rear support 2. When the lawnmower travels to the base 1 and is in the set charging position, the power connector 21 connects with the charging port at the front of the lawnmower.

[0033] The front end of the lawnmower can be equipped with one or more cameras, sensors, etc. to form a vision recognition module. The vision recognition module helps ensure that the power connector 21 can be accurately connected to the charging port when the lawnmower travels from any position to the charging platform.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to improve the recognition accuracy of the visual recognition module, an identifiable positioning area 22 is also provided on the rear bracket 2. One or more identifiable positioning areas 22 are provided and are respectively located around the power supply connector 21, forming a set positional relationship with the power supply connector 21. The visual recognition module of the lawnmower determines the position of the power supply connector 21 by scanning and recognizing the identifiable positioning area 22, so that the power supply connector 21 is accurately connected to the charging port.

[0035] Preferably, there are two identifiable positioning areas 22, located above and below the power connector 21, respectively.

[0036] More preferably, the identifiable positioning area 22 is set as a QR code.

[0037] Furthermore, a guide bar 13 is provided on the base 1. The guide bar 13 is straight and has a set length. The guide bar 13 is used for visual recognition module recognition and guides the lawnmower to move along the straight direction of the guide bar 13 when the lawnmower moves along the base 1. This allows for more precise control of the lawnmower's posture and movement path on the base 1, ensuring that the charging port and power connector 21 can be accurately connected when the lawnmower enters the charging platform from any direction.

[0038] Preferably, the straight line direction of the guide strip 13 is set to be in the same vertical plane as the docking direction of the power supply connector 21 and the charging port, so that the guide strip 13 is aligned with the power supply connector 21. This setting makes the recognition algorithm of the visual recognition module more concise and the operation speed and efficiency higher.

[0039] An antenna base rod 25 is also provided on the rear side of the rear bracket 2. The antenna base rod 25 is detachably inserted through the rear side of the rear bracket 2, and the antenna is set on the top of the antenna base rod 25.

[0040] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
