[0027] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of the collection device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application in a collecting state. The collection device 100 includes a collection box 130 and a collection bracket 110. The collection bracket 110 includes a bracket body 11 and a swing structure 120. The swing structure 120 is installed at the tail of the collection bracket 110. The collection box 130 is rotatably connected to the tail of the collection bracket 110 through the swing structure 120. The swing structure 120 is used to drive the collection box 130 to swing relative to the collection bracket 110 to realize the automatic dumping function of the collection device 100 and improve work efficiency.

[0028] It should be noted that the purpose of Figure 1 is only to schematically describe the connection method between the collection bracket 110, the swing structure 120 and the collection box 130, and it does not specifically limit the connection position, connection relationship and specific structure of each component. Figure 1 is only a structure of the collection device 100 illustrated in an embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a specific limitation of the collection device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the collection device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown in Figure 1, or combine certain components, or different components. For example, the collection device 100 may also include but is not limited to a roller brush mechanism, a connecting mechanism, etc. The connecting mechanism is used to connect the collection device 100 to a walking device. The roller brush mechanism can be used to collect debris.

[0029] For the accuracy of description, all directions involved in this article shall refer to Figure 1. The term "length direction X" refers to the arrangement direction of the collection bracket 110 and the collection box 130, that is, the front-to-back direction (where the positive direction of the X axis is the front). The term "width direction Y" refers to the arrangement direction of the two rotating arms 132 in the collection box 130, that is, the left-right direction (where the positive direction of the Y axis is the right). The term "height direction Z" refers to the arrangement direction of the first frame 111 and the swing structure 120 in the collection bracket 110, that is, the up-down direction (where the positive direction of the Z axis is the top). Among them, the length direction X, the width direction Y and the height direction Z together constitute the three orthogonal directions of the collection bracket 110. For the convenience of description, the up and down, left and right, and front and back directions in this application are relative positions and do not constitute a limitation to the implementation. The length direction X, width direction Y and height direction Z of the collection bracket 110 can be customized according to the specific structure of the product and the perspective of the drawings, and this application does not make specific limitations. For clarity, the two ends of the collection rack 110 along its length (X) are defined as the head and tail, respectively, with the head and tail positioned opposite each other. In Figure 1, when describing the front or back end of an object, the left end is the head, and the right end is the tail. For example, the tail of the collection rack 110 refers to the rear end of the collection rack 110 near the collection box 130. The head of the collection rack 110 refers to the front end of the collection rack 110 away from the collection box 130.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 together. Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the collection device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application in a dumping state. The collection device 100 has a collection state and a dumping state. In the collection state, the collection box 130 covers the collection bracket 110. The collection box 130 can be used to temporarily store the debris collected by the robot; in the dumping state, the collection box 130 flips relative to the collection bracket 110 to dump the debris collected in the collection box 130. The swing structure 120 is used to flip the collection box 130 to dump the debris collected in the collection box 130, thereby realizing the automatic dumping function of the collection device 100 and improving the collection and dumping efficiency.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 and 3 together. Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the collection device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application after a part of the structure is removed. An embodiment of the present application provides a collection bracket 110. The collection bracket 110 is used to connect a walking device and a collection box 130. The bracket body 11 includes a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The second frame 112 is connected to the side of the first frame 111 along the width direction Y of the collection bracket 110. The second frame 112 is extended relative to the first frame 111 toward the ground. The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 are used to connect to the walking device. The swing structure 120 is arranged at the bottom of the first frame 111. The swing structure 120 is located on the side of the first frame 111 close to the ground. The connection between the swing structure 120 and the collection box 130 is located at the bottom of the first frame 111. In the collection bracket 110 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the swing structure 120 drives the collection box 130 to swing relative to the collection bracket 110, the first frame 111 can stop and protect the user's hands, preventing the user's hands from reaching into the connection between the swing structure 120 and the collection box 130, thereby preventing the user's hands from being pinched by the collection box 130, and improving the safety of use of the collection bracket 110.

[0032] Exemplarily, the first frame 111 includes a first portion 1111 and a second portion 1112. The first portion 1111 is configured to connect to a walking device. The second portion 1112 is connected to the rear end of the first portion 1111, i.e., to the side of the first portion 1111 near the collection box 130. The second portion 1112 protrudes relative to the second frame 112 toward the collection box 130. The swing structure 120 is located at the bottom of the second portion 1112, i.e., on the side of the second portion 1112 near the ground. The top of the first portion 1111 can be flush with the top of the second portion 1112. The top of the first portion 1111 and the top of the second portion 1112 can refer to the sides of the first portion 1111 and the second portion 1112 along the positive Z direction of the height direction of the collection bracket 110. When the collection bracket 110 is mounted on the walking device, the top of the first portion 1111 is located on the side of the first portion 1111 away from the ground, and the top of the second portion 1112 is located on the side of the second portion 1112 away from the ground. The first portion 1111 and the second portion 1112 can be integrally formed. The top of the first portion 1111 and the top of the second portion 1112 can be smoothly connected. This prevents the second portion 1112 from protruding relative to the first portion 1111, thereby preventing the connection between the swing structure 120 and the collection box 130 from protruding relative to the first portion 1111, thereby preventing the user's hand from reaching the connection between the swing structure 120 and the collection box 130. In some embodiments, the top of the first portion 1111 can be higher than the top of the second portion 1112 to enhance the stopping and protective effect of the first portion 1111 on the hand.

[0033] The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 enclose an installation space 101. The walking device is accommodated in the installation space 101. The first frame 111 is used to connect to the rear of the walking device, and the second frame 112 is used to connect to the side of the walking device to improve the connection stability between the bracket body 11 and the walking device.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 together. Figure 4 is an enlarged view of part I in Figure 3. The collecting bracket 110 also includes a receiving shell 121. The receiving shell 121 is connected to the bottom of the second part 1112. A receiving cavity is provided inside the receiving shell 121. The receiving shell 121 is provided with an axial hole 1213 connected to the receiving cavity along the width direction Y of the collecting bracket 110. The swing structure 120 is partially accommodated in the receiving cavity. The end of the swing structure 120 is passed through and extends out of the axial hole 1213 and is connected to the collecting box 130. The receiving shell 121 can facilitate the installation of the swing structure 120 and the second part 1112, and the receiving shell 121 can protect the swing structure 120 to prevent external debris from entering the swing structure 120, thereby improving the working stability and reliability of the swing structure 120 and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the collecting bracket 110.

[0035] The housing 121 includes a cover plate 1211 and a side plate 1212. The side plate 1212 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the second portion 1112. An axis hole 1213 is formed in the side plate 1212. The cover plate 1211 is detachably connected to the end of the side plate 1212 away from the second portion 1112. The second portion 1112, the side plate 1212, and the cover plate 1211 together enclose a housing cavity. In this way, the cover plate 1211 can provide a support or mounting location for the swing structure 120, thereby improving the reliability and strength of the connection between the swing structure 120 and the second portion 1112. The detachable connection between the side plate 1212 and the second portion 1112, and between the cover plate 1211 and the side plate 1212, facilitates the installation of the housing 121 and the second portion 1112, as well as operations such as maintenance and replacement of the swing structure 120. The side panels 1212 and the second portion 1112, and the cover panel 1211 and the side panels 1212 can be detachably connected by, but not limited to, mounting structures, snap fasteners, and the like. In one possible embodiment, the side panels 1212 and the second portion 1112, and / or the cover panel 1211 and the side panels 1212 can be non-detachably connected by gluing or welding, thereby improving the connection strength between the side panels 1212 and the second portion 1112, and between the cover panel 1211 and the side panels 1212, and improving the assembly efficiency of the collection bracket 110.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5 together. Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the swing structure 120 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The swing structure 120 includes a mounting bracket 122, a swing component 123 and a driving component 124. A mounting cavity is provided in the mounting bracket 122. The swing component 123 is provided on the mounting bracket 122 and is located outside the mounting cavity. The end of the swing component 123 passes through the shaft hole 1213 outside the receiving cavity of the receiving shell 121. The collection box 130 is detachably mounted on the part of the swing component 123 located outside the receiving cavity. The driving component 124 is provided in the mounting cavity and is transmission-connected to the swing component 123. Among them, the driving component 124 and the swing component 123 are arranged in the height direction Z of the collection bracket 110 and are located below the swing component 123.

[0037] The mounting bracket 122 includes a first bracket 1221 and a second bracket 1222 that cooperate and fix with each other. The first bracket 1221 and the second bracket 1222 form a mounting cavity. Thus, on the one hand, the first bracket 1221 and the second bracket 1222 can provide more mounting locations and support locations for the swing component 123 and the driving component 124, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the swing structure 120. On the other hand, the first bracket 1221 separates the receiving cavity of the receiving shell 121 in the height direction Z of the collection bracket 110 into two cavities, one of which is used to accommodate the swing component 123, and the other is used to accommodate the driving component 124, the second bracket 1222, and part of the first bracket 1221. This partitions the swing component 123 and the driving component 124, resulting in a reasonable and compact design, easy assembly, and improved reliability and safety. The first bracket 1221 and the second bracket 1222 can be removably fixed to each other by means of snap-fitting, screw locking, or the like, thereby facilitating the assembly of the swing component 123 and the driving component 124. In some embodiments, the first bracket 1221 and the second bracket 1222 can be fixed together by welding, bonding, integral molding, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0038] The swing component 123 includes a swing rod 1231 and a swing wing 1232. The swing wing 1232 is provided at the end of the swing rod 1231. The swing wing 1232 extends in the radial direction of the swing rod 1231 and is used to detachably mount the collection box 130. The swing wing 1232 is located outside the receiving cavity of the receiving shell 121. The driving component 124 is connected to the swing rod 1231 in a transmission manner and is used to drive the swing rod 1231 to connect the swing wing 1232 and the collection box 130 to swing synchronously. For example, the driving component 124 and the swing rod 1231 can be connected by a gear structure. A transmission gear 1251 is provided on the swing rod 1231. The driving component 124 includes a driving member and an output gear 1252 connected to the output shaft 1241 of the driving member. The driving member is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the output shaft 1241 of the driving member extends outside the mounting cavity. The output gear 1252 is connected to the end of the output shaft 1241 located outside the mounting cavity. The output gear 1252 meshes with the transmission gear 1251. The driver is used to rotate the output gear 1252, which in turn drives the transmission gear 1251, which in turn drives the swing arm 1231. This results in a compact structure for the drive component 124 and the swing component 123, minimizing their footprint. This improves power transmission speed while also supporting greater loads. Furthermore, the output gear 1252 and the transmission gear 1251 are protected from slippage and impact during transmission, ensuring excellent stability and reliability.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5 together. The collection box 130 includes a box body 131 and a rotating arm 132 provided on the box body 131. There are two rotating arms 132, and the two rotating arms 132 are provided on the two sides of the box body 131 in the width direction Y of the collection bracket 110. The box body 131 is detachably connected to the swing structure 120 through the rotating arms 132. In this way, on the one hand, when the user applies force to the box body 131, the two rotating arms 132 on the box body 131 are evenly stressed, avoiding stress concentration, extending the service life of the collection box 130, and being easy to use and simple to operate; on the other hand, the top space of the box body 131 is reasonably utilized to improve space utilization. In a possible implementation, the number of rotating arms 132 can also include one, three or more than three, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0040] When the box body 131 rotates relative to the collection bracket 110, the box body 131 rotates around the swing rod 1231. The space of the collection box 130 on the side of the rotating arm 132 away from the collection bracket 110 in the longitudinal direction X of the collection bracket 110 is the effective collection space of the collection box 130. In this embodiment, the rotating arm 132 is located on the side of the box body 131 close to the collection bracket 110. On the one hand, the space of the collection box 130 on the side of the rotating arm 132 away from the collection bracket 110 in the length direction X of the collection bracket 110 can be increased, so that the collection box 130 has a larger effective collection space at the same size, thereby improving the space utilization of the collection box 130; on the other hand, the space of the collection box 130 on the side of the rotating arm 132 close to the collection bracket 110 in the length direction X of the collection bracket 110 can be reduced, so that the collection box 130 can shorten the length of the collection box 130 along the length direction X without reducing the effective collection space, thereby making the structure of the collection device 100 more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the collection device 100, and can make the overall center of gravity of the collection device 100 closer to the walking equipment, reducing the risk of the walking equipment tilting.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 4 and 6 together. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the handle 133 provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one possible implementation, the collection box 130 may also include a handle 133. The handle 133 is provided on the box body 131 and is provided near the collection bracket 110. The handle 133 is used to drive the box body 131 to flip relative to the collection bracket 110, thereby rationally utilizing the top space of the box body 131, improving space utilization, and enabling the collection box 130 to have manual and automatic grass unloading functions, enriching the use scenarios of the collection box 130 and improving user experience.

[0042] In one possible implementation, in the height direction Z of the collection box 130, a semi-open groove 1321 is provided on the side of the rotating arm 132 facing the box body 131, which cooperates with the swing wing 1232 of the swing structure 120, thereby facilitating a detachable connection between the collection box 130 and the swing structure 120. The opening of the semi-open groove 1321 faces the box body 131. It can be understood that when the user needs to lift the collection box 130 upward, the user can hold the handle 133 to drive the collection box 130 to flip a certain angle relative to the collection bracket 110, and then push it forward toward the swing structure 120 to disengage the semi-open groove 1321 of the rotating arm 132 from the swing wing 1232 of the swing structure 120, thereby quickly removing the collection box 130 from the collection bracket 110 and lifting the collection box 130 upward. The semi-open groove 1321 is configured as a special-shaped groove, so that the swing of the swing structure 120 can drive the rotating arm 132 and the box body 131 to swing synchronously, thereby realizing the overall flipping movement of the collection box 130 relative to the collection bracket 110.

[0043] For example, in this embodiment, the handle 133 is located between the two rotating arms 132. On the one hand, when a user applies force to the handle 133, the two rotating arms 132 on the box body 131 are evenly stressed, avoiding stress concentration, extending the service life of the collection box 130, and making it convenient and easy to operate. On the other hand, the top space of the box body 131 is rationally utilized, improving space efficiency. The handle 133 is positioned in the middle of the box body 131 to prevent deformation or damage caused by the center of gravity of the collection box 130 not being collinear with the direction of force applied by the handle 133. This results in a more rational, aesthetically pleasing, and practical design for the handle 133 structure. In one possible implementation, the handle 133 is aligned with the two rotating arms 132 in the width direction Y of the collection box 130. It should be noted that the arrangement of the handle 133 can be designed based on factors such as the structure and connection position of the rotating arms 132, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0044] The box body 131 includes a box body 1311, a box cover 1312 and a pressure cover 1313. The box cover 1312 is fixedly connected to the box body 1311 and forms a collection chamber for collecting debris. The rotating arm 132 can be arranged on the side of the box cover 1312 close to the collection bracket 110. The pressure cover 1313 is arranged in the collection chamber 301 and forms a closed space with the box cover 1312. The handle 133 includes a gripping portion 1331 and a bending portion 1334. The gripping portion 1331 is located outside the collection chamber, and the bending portion 1334 is bent relative to the gripping portion 1331 and is arranged in the closed space. Therefore, on the one hand, the handle 133 is provided on the box cover 1312, which makes it convenient for the user to hold and operate the collection box 130, and is flexible and convenient to use; on the other hand, the bent portion 1334 of the handle 133 is provided in the enclosed space formed by the pressure cover 1313 and the box cover 1312, thereby avoiding grass clippings from remaining at the connection between the bent portion 1334 and the inner wall of the collection chamber, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the collection box 130.

[0045] For example, in this embodiment, the box body 1311 and the box cover 1312 are detachably connected, thereby facilitating installation, maintenance, and cleaning of the handle 133 and the pressure cover 1313. The box body 1311 and the box cover 1312 can be detachably connected using, but not limited to, mounting structures, snap fasteners, and other methods. In one possible embodiment, the box body 1311 and the box cover 1312 are non-detachably connected, thereby improving the connection strength between the box body 1311 and the box cover 1312 and enhancing the assembly efficiency of the collection box 130.

[0046] The bent portion 1334 is sandwiched between the pressure cover 1313 and the box lid 1312, thereby simplifying the fixed connection between the handle 133 and the box body 131 and preventing the handle 133 from rotating, thereby improving the user experience. The pressure cover 1313 and the box lid 1312 are fixed together by a locking member, thereby sandwiching the bent portion 1334 of the handle 133 between the pressure cover 1313 and the box lid 1312 and facilitating the installation of the pressure cover 1313. In one possible implementation, the bent portion 1334 of the handle 133 can be fixed between the pressure cover 1313 and / or the box lid 1312 by a locking structure to improve the connection strength between the handle 133 and the box body 131.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the pressure cover 1313 and / or the box cover 1312 are provided with a limiting structure. The bending portion 1334 is limited in a confined space by the limiting structure, thereby facilitating the assembly and positioning of the handle 133 and improving assembly efficiency. For example, in this embodiment, the limiting structure is configured as a limiting hole that matches the outer shape of the bending portion 1334. For example, a first limiting portion is provided on the pressure cover 1313, and a second limiting portion is provided on the box cover 1312. The first limiting portion corresponds to the second limiting portion and forms a limiting hole that matches the outer shape of the bending portion 1334, thereby achieving the limitation of the bending portion 1334. The limiting hole is circular. In one possible implementation, the limiting hole can also be a regular or irregular hole such as an elliptical hole, a square hole, or a polygonal hole. The number of limiting structures can include one or more, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the pressure cover 1313 and / or the box cover 1312 are provided with reinforcing ribs, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the pressure cover 1313 and / or the box cover 1312 and extending the service life of the collection box 130. In this embodiment, both the pressure cover 1313 and the box cover 1312 are provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0049] In one possible implementation, a reinforcing rib 134 is provided in the area of ​​the box cover 1312 corresponding to the pressure cover 1313 and / or the area corresponding to the pivot arm 132. This, on the one hand, increases the structural strength of the connection between the pivot arm 132 and the box body 131, preventing deformation or breakage of the pivot arm 132; and on the other hand, increases the structural strength of the box cover 1312 and the pressure cover 1313, preventing deformation or breakage of the box cover 1312 when a user applies force to the handle 133.

[0050] The handle 133 is rod-shaped. For example, in this embodiment, the radial cross-section of the handle 133 is circular. The handle 133 can be formed by bending a rod-shaped structure. In one possible implementation, the handle 133 can also be formed by braiding a rod-shaped structure; or, alternatively, by bending a plate-shaped or tubular structure, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the bent portion 1334 includes a first bent section 1335 and a second bent section 1336. The first bent section 1335 connects between the grip portion 1331 and the second bent section 1336. The first bent section 1335 is located on one side of the grip portion 1331 in the width direction Y of the collection box 130, while the second bent section 1336 and the grip portion 1331 are located on the same side of the first bent section 1335 in the length direction X of the collection box 130. Thus, on the one hand, the bent section 1334 is arranged in a curved line within the enclosed space, thereby improving the connection strength between the handle 133 and the box body 131. On the other hand, by designing the first bent section 1335 and the second bent section 1336 to extend in different directions, the force acting on the handle 133 is dispersed at different locations on the collection rack 110, avoiding stress concentration and extending the service life of the collection box 130. In some embodiments, the extension path of the bend portion 1334 within the confined space may be, but is not limited to, an L-shape, an S-shape, a Z-shape, or a U-shape. In one possible implementation, the bend portion 1334 may further include a third bend segment connecting the first bend segment 1335 and the second bend segment 1336, thereby improving the structural strength of the bend portion 1334 and improving the connection strength between the bend portion 1334 and the collection bracket 110.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the handle 1331 includes a first grip section 1332 and a second grip section 1333 connected between the first grip section 1332 and the bent portion 1334. The first grip section 1332 is spaced apart from the box body 131, and the second grip section 1333 is tilted relative to the top wall of the box body 131, thereby facilitating user operation of the handle 133 and providing clearance for the collection box 130 to bend.

[0053] In one possible implementation, two bends 1334 are provided, each connected to the two ends of the gripping portion 1331. Two pressure covers 1313 are provided, with the two bends 1334 correspondingly sandwiched between the two pressure covers 1313 and the box cover 1312. The gripping portion 1331 can be U-shaped. Both bends 1334 are located on the side of the gripping portion 1331 close to the collection bracket 110. In some embodiments, the gripping portion 1331 can also be, but is not limited to, C-shaped, V-shaped, W-shaped, etc.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the collection rack 110 further includes a handle 20. One end of the handle 20 is fixed to the first frame 111, while the other end is suspended in the air. Thus, on the one hand, the handle 20 facilitates quick movement and transport of the collection rack 110 by the user; on the other hand, by fixing one end of the handle 20 to the first frame 111, the structure is compact and the height of the handle 20 is raised, so that the center of gravity of the collection rack 110 is located below the handle 20, enhancing safety, saving effort, and providing comfort.

[0055] The handle 20 extends toward the collection box 130. The orthographic projection of the end of the handle 20 near the collection box 130 along the height direction Z of the collection box 130 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the collection box 130, so that the handle 20 has a sufficient grip length while reducing the length of the collection box 130 along the length direction X, thereby making the structure of the collection device 100 more compact. The collection box 130 is provided with an avoidance groove 1310 for avoiding the handle 20. The avoidance groove 1310 can be opened at one end of the box cover 1312 near the collection bracket 110. The handle 133 is inserted into the avoidance groove 1310. Therefore, on the one hand, the avoidance groove 1310 can provide installation space for the handle 133 to avoid drilling holes on the box cover 1312. On the other hand, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, when the collection box 130 rotates relative to the collection bracket 110, the avoidance groove 1310 can provide avoidance space for the handle 20. The handle 20 is inserted into the avoidance groove 1310, thereby avoiding interference between the handle 20 and the collection box 130 and hindering the rotation of the collection box 130. For example, in this embodiment, the avoidance groove 1310 can be trapezoidal. On the one hand, the avoidance groove 1310 can better adapt to the corner of the bending portion 1334 and improve the assembly effect; on the other hand, it can avoid the interference of the handle 133 with other components in the process of driving the box body 131 to rotate.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the collection bracket 110 further includes two mounting arms 14, which are disposed on both sides of the bracket body 11 in the width direction Y of the collection bracket 110. The collection device 100 may further include a floating mechanism 30 and a roller brush mechanism 40, and the mounting arms 14 are used to mount the floating mechanism 30 and the roller brush mechanism 40. Thus, the mounting arms 14 can balance the center of gravity of the collection device 100 and avoid the risk of warping. The roller brush mechanism 40 is used to roll up and sweep up debris on the ground, so that the debris enters the collection chamber of the collection box 130. The floating mechanism 30 is used to drive the roller brush mechanism 40 to rise and fall with the undulations of the ground, to avoid direct collision between the roller brush mechanism 40 and obstacles, pits, protrusions, etc. on the ground, and to maintain a suitable distance between the roller brush mechanism 40 and the ground, thereby protecting the roller brush mechanism 40 and improving the collection effect of the roller brush mechanism 40.

The walking device may include but is not limited to hand-held, riding and fully automatic intelligent walking devices, etc., and this application does not limit this. The walking device can move on the ground. For example, the walking device can move on the ground under the push of the user. For another example, the walking device itself has the ability to move and can automatically move on the ground through a driving mechanism. The walking device can be configured as a mowing device, a harvesting device, a sweeping device, a spraying device, a transport equipment, etc. For example, the robot can be configured as a mowing robot, the walking device is configured as the body of the grass-feeding robot, and the collection device 100 is used to collect grass clippings, leaves and other debris.
