[0009] The entire contents of the aforementioned patent application are incorporated herein by reference. [Technical Field]
[0010] This application relates to the field of work equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor work vehicle and a ride-on lawnmower. [Background Technology]
[0011] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.
[0012] The power management device includes a housing and a circuit board installed inside the housing. The circuit board has multiple terminals for wiring harness connections to the outside world. In the prior art, when the power management device needs to be removed from the vehicle, the housing must be opened and the wiring harness connections disconnected. Opening the housing exposes the circuit board to the external environment, making it susceptible to contamination. Moreover, the circuit board is easily damaged by impacts during the opening and closing of the housing and the removal and installation of the wiring harness, causing the power management device to malfunction.
[0013] Furthermore, the connection between the circuit board and the externally introduced wiring harness is located in the same space. When the wiring harness is led from a high position to a lower position in the power management device, the liquid on the wiring harness can easily be introduced into the housing, causing contamination or short circuit of the circuit board, affecting its service life, or even causing damage.
[0014] Therefore, it is indeed necessary to provide an improved outdoor work vehicle to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. [Summary of the Invention]

[0033] This application also provides a rideable lawnmower, comprising: a walking assembly configured to support the outdoor work vehicle for walking; a power output assembly configured to perform outdoor work; and a power system configured to at least power the outdoor work vehicle, the power system comprising: a battery compartment; a battery pack assembled within the battery compartment; and a power management device configured to at least control the charging and discharging of the battery pack; the power management device comprising a housing body configured as a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity separated from each other, the first receiving cavity being configured to house a first circuit board and a second circuit board, the first circuit board being used to provide electrical energy to the walking assembly and / or the power output assembly, and the second circuit board being configured to transmit communication signals; the first circuit board... A first connecting portion is provided on the circuit board, and a second connecting portion is provided on the second circuit board. Both the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can extend from the first receiving cavity to the second receiving cavity. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can respectively make electrical connections and / or signal connections with external devices. The outer shell body forms a first step surface and a second step surface with different heights in the first receiving cavity. A first through hole is provided on the first step surface to connect the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity, and a second through hole is provided on the second step surface to connect the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second receiving cavity includes at least a wiring area, the wiring area including a first wiring area and a second wiring area, the first connecting portion extending to the first wiring area and the second connecting portion extending to the second wiring area.
[0035] In some embodiments, the height of the first wiring area is higher than the height of the second wiring area.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] In this application, by separating the first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board and the second receiving cavity for wiring to the circuit board, operators can perform wiring or disconnection operations only in the second receiving cavity without touching the circuit board, thus providing excellent protection for the circuit board and its electrical components. Furthermore, when connecting or disconnecting wire harnesses, operators can quickly plug and unplug the connectors extending into the second receiving cavity, improving assembly efficiency on the production line.
[0038] In this application, the power management device is located at the bottom of the battery compartment, and the mounting surface of the circuit board is oriented differently from the opening direction of the battery compartment. This allows the power management device to be rotated synchronously when wiring, disconnecting, or repairing the circuit board inside the power management device on the vehicle, by simply detaching the battery compartment from the frame and flipping the battery compartment. This allows the power management device to be rotated from the bottom of the battery compartment to an angle and position that is easy for workers to access, thereby facilitating wiring, disconnecting, or disassembling the casing for circuit board repair.
[0039] In this application, the outer casing body forms two stepped surfaces of different heights, a first step and a second step, within the first receiving cavity. A first connecting portion on the first circuit board passes through the first stepped surface and enters the second receiving cavity, and a second connecting portion on the second circuit board passes through the second stepped surface and enters the second receiving cavity. This allows terminals on the two circuit boards within one cavity to be led out to the other cavity via stepped surfaces of different heights. This ensures that when wiring to the two circuit boards is done separately, the wiring harness on the first circuit board will not interfere with the wiring harness on the second circuit board, resulting in neat and orderly wiring connections. Furthermore, it prevents overcrowding when arranging wiring harnesses on a single circuit board. In particular, it reduces the likelihood of wires bridging between wiring harnesses on circuit boards subject to overcurrent, decreasing the occurrence of short circuits and thus reducing safety hazards.
[0040] Furthermore, configuring the first circuit board to provide power to the walking assembly or power output assembly, and configuring the second circuit board to transmit communication signals, will reduce the impact of the magnetic field generated by the first circuit board when it experiences overcurrent on the transmission of communication signals on the second circuit board.
[0041] In this application, the layered arrangement of the first circuit board and the second circuit board allows for the installation of more external wiring interfaces on the first and second circuit boards within a limited space. This enables the addition of functional modules on the first and second circuit boards as needed, and the addition of interfaces enables external information interaction or power transmission, thereby enriching the functionality of the power management device.
[0042] In this application, the first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board and the second receiving cavity for wiring are combined, especially in outdoor operations, to prevent water droplets or other liquids from entering the first receiving cavity from the second receiving cavity along the connected wire harness.
[0043] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.
[0044] The power management device includes a housing and a circuit board installed inside the housing. The circuit board has multiple terminals for wiring harness connections to the outside. When the power management device needs to be removed from the vehicle, the housing must be opened to disconnect the wiring harness. Opening the housing exposes the circuit board to the external environment, making it susceptible to contamination. Moreover, the process of opening and closing the housing and removing and installing the wiring harness can easily cause impact damage to the circuit board, leading to the failure of the power management device.
[0045] Furthermore, the connection between the circuit board and the externally introduced wiring harness is located in the same space. When the wiring harness is led from a high position to a lower position in the power management device, the liquid on the wiring harness can easily be introduced into the housing, causing contamination or short circuit of the circuit board, affecting its service life, or even causing damage.

[0047] In some embodiments, the plurality of receiving cavities include a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity that are isolated from each other. The first receiving cavity is configured to receive at least one circuit board. The circuit board has a connection portion for connection to the outside. The housing body has a connecting portion that connects the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity. The connection portion extends from the connecting portion to the second receiving cavity. The second receiving cavity is configured as a wiring area for electrical and / or signal connection of the circuit board assembly extending into the second receiving cavity with external devices.
[0048] In some embodiments, the first receiving cavity is configured to receive a first circuit board and a second circuit board, the first circuit board being configured to provide electrical power to the walking assembly and / or the power output assembly, and the second circuit board being configured to transmit communication signals. The first circuit board includes a first connecting portion, and the second circuit board includes a second connecting portion.

[0051] In some embodiments, one end of the first through hole is located in the first wiring area and the other end is located in the first stepped surface; one end of the second through hole is located in the second wiring area and the other end is located in the second stepped surface.
[0052] In some embodiments, the outer shell body forms a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity that are isolated from each other.

[0053] In some embodiments, a first cover plate is disposed at the opening of the first receiving cavity, and a second cover plate is disposed at the opening of the second receiving cavity.
[0054] In some embodiments, a first seal is provided between the first cover plate and the outer casing body.
[0055] In some embodiments, a second seal is provided between the second cover plate and the housing body.
[0056] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0057] In this application, by separating the first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board and the second receiving cavity for wiring to the circuit board, operators can perform wiring or disconnection operations only in the second receiving cavity without touching the circuit board, thus providing excellent protection for the circuit board and its electrical components.

[0059] In this application, the outer casing body forms two stepped surfaces of different heights, a first step and a second step, within the first receiving cavity. A first connecting portion on the first circuit board passes through the first stepped surface and enters the second receiving cavity, and a second connecting portion on the second circuit board passes through the second stepped surface and enters the second receiving cavity. This allows terminals on the two circuit boards within one cavity to be led out to the other cavity via stepped surfaces of different heights. This ensures that when wiring to the two circuit boards is done separately, the wiring harness on the first circuit board will not interfere with the wiring harness on the second circuit board, resulting in neat and orderly wiring connections. Furthermore, it prevents overcrowding when arranging wiring harnesses on a single circuit board. In particular, it reduces the likelihood of wires bridging between wiring harnesses on circuit boards subject to overcurrent, decreasing the occurrence of short circuits and thus reducing safety hazards.
[0060] Furthermore, configuring the first circuit board to provide power to the walking assembly or power output assembly, and configuring the second circuit board to transmit communication signals, will reduce the impact of the magnetic field generated by the first circuit board when it experiences overcurrent on the transmission of communication signals on the second circuit board.
[0061] In this application, the layered arrangement of the first circuit board and the second circuit board allows for the installation of more external wiring interfaces on the first and second circuit boards within a limited space. This enables the addition of functional modules on the first and second circuit boards as needed, and the addition of interfaces enables external information interaction or power transmission, thereby enriching the functionality of the power management device.
[0062] In this application, the first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board and the second receiving cavity for wiring are combined, especially in outdoor operations, to prevent water droplets or other liquids from entering the first receiving cavity from the second receiving cavity along the connected wire harness.
[0063] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.

The circuit board assembly includes a high-current circuit board and a control circuit board. In order to reduce space usage, the circuit boards are often stacked and the mounting surfaces of the circuit boards are arranged in the same direction. This makes it inconvenient to connect the circuit board located on the mounting surface to another circuit board to the outside. It is necessary to separate the stacked circuit boards from each other, which is troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0095] In this application, based on the layout of the external terminals on the first and second side plates of the battery compartment, the connecting part on the circuit board is divided into two parts. One part is set close to the external terminals on the first side plate, and the other part is set close to the external terminals on the second side plate. This makes the connecting part arranged according to the terminals connected to it, so that when the external terminals are connected to the connecting part, the wiring harness layout is more reasonable, neat, and not messy.
[0096] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.
[0097] The power management device includes a housing and a circuit board installed inside the housing. The circuit board needs to receive power from the charging gun to charge the battery pack and also needs to discharge to enable outdoor work vehicles to operate. If the terminals for receiving power from the charging gun and discharging to the outside are shared, a large number of wires will be connected to the terminals. When the wiring is external to the housing, the concentration of wires in one place will make it more difficult to close the housing, and the concentration of wires will increase the difficulty and time of maintenance.

The switch array is configured to control the on / off state of the current flowing through it, and the capacitor array is configured to store the charge flowing through it.

[0110] In this application, by setting the terminals on the circuit board that receive electrical energy from the charging gun to charge the battery pack and the terminals that discharge to the outside independently, the wiring harness layout is reasonable and not too concentrated, which improves the efficiency of closing the housing and also improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance between the terminals and the wiring harness, and avoids the situation of the wiring harness being messy due to excessive concentration.
[0111] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.
[0112] The power management device includes a housing and a circuit board installed inside the housing. The circuit board generates heat during operation, especially the circuit board with excessive current. In order to protect the circuit board, it is housed in the housing. Although this protects the circuit board from external physical impact, the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board is greatly reduced, which will affect the performance and lifespan of the circuit board.

[0115] In some embodiments, the power management device is connected to the bottom of the battery compartment via a bracket.
[0116] In some embodiments, the battery compartment includes a first side plate and a second side plate disposed opposite to each other, the battery pack being located between the first side plate and the second side plate, and both the first side plate and the second side plate being provided with external terminals for connecting to the battery pack; in the horizontal direction, the power management device is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, and the power management device is respectively capable of connecting to the external terminals on the first side plate and the second side plate.
[0117] In some embodiments, in the horizontal direction, a first connection interface is provided on the housing near the first side plate, and a second connection interface is provided on the housing near the second side plate; the external terminals on the first side plate can be electrically connected and / or signal connected to the circuit board assembly through the first connection interface, and the external terminals on the second side plate can be electrically connected and / or signal connected to the circuit board assembly through the second connection interface.
[0118] In some embodiments, the cavity is provided with two circuit boards, one of which is at least configured to transmit a high-power current as a first circuit board, and the other is at least configured to output communication information as a second circuit board. The first circuit board includes a first connection portion, and the second circuit board includes a second connection portion. The external terminals on the first side plate are respectively connected to the first connection portion and the second connection portion. The external terminals on the second side plate are respectively connected to the first connection portion and the second connection portion.
[0119] In some embodiments, in the horizontal direction, the first connecting portion includes a first terminal group disposed near the first side plate and a second terminal group disposed near the second side plate, the first terminal group being connected to the external terminal on the first side plate, and the second terminal group being connected to the external terminal on the first side plate; the second connecting portion includes a third terminal group disposed near the first side plate and a fourth terminal group disposed near the second side plate, the third terminal group being connected to the external terminal on the first side plate, and the fourth terminal group being connected to the external terminal on the second side plate.
[0120] This application also provides an outdoor work vehicle, including: a battery compartment having an opening; a battery pack configured to be mounted in the battery compartment along the opening, the battery pack being capable of supplying power to the outdoor work vehicle; a power management device configured to control the charging or discharging of the battery pack, an airflow channel being formed between the power management device and the battery compartment; the power management device includes a housing having a cavity and at least one circuit board located within the cavity, the portion of the housing in contact with the airflow channel being a heat dissipation portion, and the circuit board being disposed close to the heat dissipation portion.

[0123] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0124] In this application, the battery compartment and the power management device form an airflow channel. By using a heat sink to dissipate heat from the circuit board and placing the heat sink inside the airflow channel, a flowing airflow is formed inside the airflow channel when the outdoor work vehicle moves, so that the circuit board can exchange heat with the outside through the heat sink, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board.
[0125] Moreover, the air is compressed within the airflow channel. Once it is discharged from the airflow channel, the compressed air will expand and absorb heat instantly, which can further cool the heat dissipation part.
[0126] With the development of battery technology, electric drive is gradually replacing engine drive in outdoor work vehicles. A battery pack typically contains one or more battery cells and can serve as a power source for outdoor work vehicles or as a power source for portable power tools. A power management device, which manages the charging and discharging of the battery pack, is an essential component of electrically driven outdoor work vehicles.
[0127] The power management device includes a housing and a circuit board installed inside the housing. The circuit board generates heat during operation, especially the circuit board with excessive current. In order to protect the circuit board, it is housed in the housing. Although this protects the circuit board from external physical impact, the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board is greatly reduced, which will affect the performance and lifespan of the circuit board.
[0128] Although some power management devices expose the circuit board portion with excessive current to the air, the heat dissipation effect is still not ideal because most of the circuit board structure is still located inside the housing.
[0129] Based on this, in the sixth aspect, the technical solution adopted by this application to solve the prior art problem is: a power management device with heat dissipation function, at least applied to outdoor operation vehicles, the power management device comprising: a housing body having an open chamber, the chamber being configured to accommodate at least one circuit board; a heat-conducting element capable of covering the opening of the chamber, the heat-conducting element being capable of exchanging heat generated by the circuit board during operation with an external cold medium.

[0136] In some embodiments, the outdoor work vehicle includes a battery compartment with a battery pack installed, an airflow channel is formed between the battery compartment and the power management device, and the heat-conducting element is at least partially located within the airflow channel.
[0137] In some embodiments, the power management device is attached to the battery compartment via a bracket.

[0139] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0140] In this application, by using a heat sink to dissipate heat from the circuit board, the limitations of the circuit board's own heat dissipation are overcome, the efficiency of heat exchange between the circuit board and the outside is improved, the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board is enhanced, the performance of the circuit board is guaranteed, and the service life of the circuit board is extended.

[0157] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0158] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0159] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows an outdoor work vehicle according to one embodiment of this application, including a frame 1, an operating component 3, a seat 4, a power output component 5, a walking component 6, and a power system 2.
[0160] The frame 1 extends along a straight line, and the operating components 3, seat 4, power output components 5, running components 6 and power system 2 are located at different positions on the frame 1.
[0161] The operating component 3 includes a left operating lever 31 on the left side and a right operating lever 32 on the right side of the outdoor work vehicle. The operator controls the outdoor work vehicle to move forward, backward, or turn by manipulating the left operating lever 31 and the right operating lever 32. The operating component 3 can also be a steering wheel that controls the outdoor work vehicle.
[0162] In some embodiments, the operating component 3 is provided with control buttons for adjusting the operating speed of the power output component 5 and the walking component 6, so as to facilitate the operator to quickly and accurately control the operation of the outdoor work vehicle. Furthermore, the operating component 3 may also be provided with buttons for adjusting the brightness of the vehicle's lights, buttons for adjusting the cutting speed, etc.
[0163] In some embodiments, a vehicle-mounted hair dryer can also be installed at the front end of the frame 1 to blow away fallen leaves on the lawn, thereby reducing the inconvenience caused to outdoor work vehicles during operation. Furthermore, the operating component 3 is equipped with buttons to control the direction and air volume of the vehicle-mounted hair dryer, so that operators can control the vehicle-mounted hair dryer from the vehicle while performing driving operations, without having to get out of the vehicle.
[0164] The seat 4 is mounted on the frame 1, and the left control lever 31 and the right control lever 32 are positioned close to the seat 4 and located on the left and right sides of the seat 4 respectively, so that the operator sitting on the seat 4 can control the operation of the outdoor work vehicle by operating the left control lever 31 and the right control lever 32.
[0165] The power output component 5 serves as the component that enables the tool's function. In one embodiment, the outdoor work vehicle is specifically a ride-on lawnmower, and the power output component 5 is specifically a cutting component, located below the frame 1. It is used to output power to enable the lawnmower's mowing function.
[0166] In some embodiments, the cutting assembly includes a blade disc, a mowing element, and a cutting motor. The cutting motor is controlled by a control button on the operating assembly 3, and the mowing element is used to cut vegetation such as grasses when rotating at high speed. For example, the mowing element is a blade used to cut vegetation on a lawn. The blade disc forms a mowing space for accommodating the mowing element, which is at least partially located within the mowing space.
[0167] The power output component 5 can also be detached from the outdoor work vehicle. It is understood that the power output component 5 can be replaced with other components to meet the usage needs of different garden operations. Therefore, the outdoor garden lawnmower can not only cut vegetation, but the cutting component can also be replaced with functional parts such as snow shoveling, snow sweeping, snow blowing, and rinsing. Those skilled in the art should be able to adapt and replace various functional parts without creative effort, and all of the above should be included within the protection scope of this embodiment.
[0168] When the cutting components are replaced with functional components such as snow shovel, snow sweeper, or snow blower, the power system 2 of the outdoor work vehicle of this application can also supply power to the aforementioned functional components such as snow shovel, snow sweeper, and snow blower.
[0169] The walking assembly 6 includes walking wheels mounted on the frame 1 and a walking motor for driving the walking wheels. The walking wheels are located on both sides of the frame 1, so that the center of gravity of the outdoor work vehicle is kept within the frame 1, thereby reducing the probability of the outdoor work vehicle overturning when walking.
[0170] In one embodiment, the number of wheels is set to four, including two front wheels 61 and two rear wheels 62. The front wheels 61 can be omnidirectional wheels. A drive motor is connected to each of the rear wheels 62 to drive their rotation. Both rear wheels 62 are matched with drive motors, and the speeds of the two drive motors can be the same or different. When the operator is driving the outdoor work vehicle straight, the speeds of the two drive motors are approximately the same; when the operator is driving the outdoor work vehicle turning, the speeds of the two drive motors are different, and the outdoor work vehicle turns towards the side with the lower speed drive motor. The diameter of the front wheels 61 is smaller than the diameter of the rear wheels 62.
[0171] The power system 2 is located at the rear of the vehicle frame 1. The power system 2 includes multiple battery packs 22, a power management device 23 (power management module) configured to uniformly manage the charging and discharging processes of at least the multiple battery packs, and a battery compartment 21 for mounting the multiple battery packs 22. The multiple battery packs 22 are electrically connected to external terminals 213 on the battery compartment 21 via terminals thereon to power the outdoor work vehicle. The multiple battery packs 22 include first-type battery packs 22 and second-type battery packs 22. Furthermore, the battery compartment 21 can be configured to accommodate first-type and second-type battery packs 22 with different capacities or sizes to increase the compatibility of the outdoor work vehicle with different types of battery packs 22. At least one of the battery packs 22 can be detached from the outdoor work vehicle to power other handheld power tools or energy storage devices, increasing the versatility of the battery packs 22. In some embodiments, the first-type battery pack includes a ternary lithium battery pack, and the second-type battery pack includes a lithium iron phosphate battery pack.
[0172] Compared to traditional methods that use fossil fuels as an energy source, the outdoor work vehicle proposed in this application is more environmentally friendly and better suited to long-term development plans.
[0173] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the power system 2 includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management module. The battery pack 22 is assembled inside the battery compartment 21. The power management module is located outside the battery compartment 21 and includes a housing body 231. The housing body 231 includes a first receiving cavity 232 and a second receiving cavity 233 that are isolated from each other. The first receiving cavity 232 is configured to accommodate at least one circuit board. The circuit board has a connection portion for connecting to an external device. The connection portion extends into the second receiving cavity 233, and the second receiving cavity 233 is at least configured as a wiring area for electrically connecting and / or signal connecting the connection portion located in the second receiving cavity 233 to an external device.
[0174] By separating the first receiving cavity 232 for accommodating the circuit board and the second receiving cavity 233 for wiring the circuit board, the operator can perform wiring or disconnection operations only in the second receiving cavity 233 without touching the circuit board, thus providing good protection for the circuit board and the electrical components on it.
[0175] As shown in Figures 6-11, in some embodiments, two circuit boards are disposed within the first receiving cavity 232. One circuit board 24 is configured to supply power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other circuit board 25 is configured to output communication information. A connection portion is configured as a first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 and as a second connection portion 252 on the second circuit board 25. The first connection portion 242 can extend from the first receiving cavity 232 to the second receiving cavity 233; the second connection portion 252 can extend from the first receiving cavity 232 to the second receiving cavity 233. By disposing the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 in the first receiving cavity 232, and extending the first connection portion 242 of the first circuit board 24 and the second connection portion 252 of the second circuit board 25 to the second receiving cavity 233, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 can be electrically and / or signal connected to external devices through their respective connection portions, while reducing direct physical contact between the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 and the outside world, thus avoiding impacts.
[0176] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the outer shell body 231 has a first stepped surface 2321 and a second stepped surface 2322 formed in the first receiving cavity 232. The first stepped surface 2321 is provided with a first through hole 23211, and the second stepped surface 2322 is provided with a second through hole 23221. The first connecting portion 242 can extend from the first receiving cavity 232 to the second receiving cavity 233 through the first through hole 23211, and the second connecting portion 252 can extend from the first receiving cavity 232 to the second receiving cavity 233 through the second through hole 23221. The first through hole 23211 and the second through hole 23221 both connect to the first receiving cavity 232 and the second receiving cavity 233. The first connecting part 242 passes through the first through hole 23211 and is partially located in the second receiving cavity 233. The second connecting part 252 passes through the second through hole 23221 and is partially located in the second receiving cavity 233. In this way, the first connecting part 242 and the second connecting part 252 extend to the second receiving cavity 233 through different first step surfaces 2321 and second step surfaces 2322, respectively. This helps to make the wiring harness connection neat by independently wiring the first connecting part 242 and the second connecting part 252.
[0177] In some embodiments, the first through-hole 23211 and the second through-hole 23221 are located above the second receiving cavity 233. This prevents liquid or water droplets in the second receiving cavity 233 from flowing into the first receiving cavity 232, thus avoiding contamination of the first circuit board, the second circuit board, or other components in the first receiving cavity 232.
[0178] As shown in Figure 9, in some embodiments, one end of the first through hole 23211 is located in the first wiring area 2331, and the other end is located in the first stepped surface 2321. One end of the second through hole 23221 is located in the second wiring area 2332, and the other end is located in the second stepped surface 2322.
[0179] As shown in Figures 8-11, in some embodiments, the first step surface 2321 and the second step surface 2322 have different heights. The first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are arranged in a top-bottom layer. Specifically, the height of the first step surface 2321 is higher than the height of the second step surface 2322, and the height of the first circuit board 24 is similar to and slightly higher than the height of the first step surface 2321. The height of the second circuit board 25 is similar to and slightly higher than the height of the second step surface 2322. The portion of the first circuit board 24 with the first connecting portion 242 is correspondingly arranged with the first step surface 2321, and the portion of the second circuit board 25 with the second connecting portion 252 is correspondingly arranged with the second step surface 2322. By independently arranging the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 in layers, and by setting the first step surface 2321 and the second step surface 2322 to match the heights of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25, the overall power management device 23 has a compact structural layout, and the layered design of the first connecting portion 242 and the second connecting portion 252 prevents interference between them.
[0180] As shown in Figure 9, in some embodiments, the second receiving cavity 233 includes at least a wiring area, which includes a first wiring area 2331 and a second wiring area 2332 with different heights. A first connecting portion 242 can enter the first wiring area 2331 through a first through hole 23211 via a first stepped surface 2321, and a second connecting portion 252 can enter the second wiring area 2332 through a second through hole 23221 via a second stepped surface 2322. The wiring areas are configured as the first wiring area 2331 and the second wiring area 2332 with different heights. The first connecting portion 242 is connected to an external device via a wiring harness in the first wiring area 2331, and the second connecting portion 252 is connected to an external device via a wiring harness in the second wiring area 2332. In this way, the wiring harnesses connected to the first connecting portion 242 and the second connecting portion 252 are also arranged in layers within the second receiving cavity 233, reducing interference between the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 when connecting wiring harnesses to external devices.
[0181] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in some embodiments, on outdoor work vehicles, the height of the first circuit board 24 is higher than the height of the second circuit board 25, and the height of the first wiring area 2331 is higher than the height of the second wiring area 2332.
[0182] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, in some embodiments, two second receiving cavities 233 are provided, and the two second receiving cavities 233 are respectively provided on both sides of the first receiving cavity 232. Specifically, each second receiving cavity 233 has one first wiring area 2331 on each side of the first receiving cavity 232, for a total of two first wiring areas 2331. Correspondingly, two first stepped surfaces 2321 are provided in the first receiving cavity 232, each first stepped surface 2321 corresponding to one first wiring area 2331, and each first stepped surface 2321 is provided with a first through hole 23211 to connect the first wiring area 2331. Each second receiving cavity 233 has one second wiring area 2332 on each side of the first receiving cavity 232, for a total of two second wiring areas 2332. Correspondingly, two second stepped surfaces 2322 are provided within the first receiving cavity 232. Each second stepped surface 2322 corresponds to a second wiring area 2332, and each second stepped surface 2322 is provided with a second through hole 23221 to connect to the second wiring area 2332. The first circuit board 24 can be electrically connected and / or signal connected to external devices through the two first wiring areas 2331, and the second circuit board 25 can be electrically connected and / or signal connected to external devices through the two second wiring areas 2332.
[0183] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, 10, and 11, in some embodiments, a first cover plate 234 is provided at the opening of the first receiving cavity 232, and a second cover plate 235 is provided at the opening of the second receiving cavity 233. After the circuit board is installed in the first receiving cavity 232, the first cover plate 234 can seal the circuit board inside the first receiving cavity 232 to protect the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25.
[0184] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, after an external device is connected to the first connecting part 242 and the second connecting part 252 via a wire harness, the second cover plate 235 is used to store the first connecting part 242, the second connecting part 252, and part of the wire harness located in the second receiving cavity 233 within the second receiving cavity 233. The outer casing body 231 has a first notch, and the second cover plate 235 has a second notch. When the second cover plate 235 is closed with the outer casing body 231, the first notch and the second notch combine to form a connection interface, allowing the wire harness to pass through.
[0185] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, a first sealing element is provided between the first cover plate 234 and the outer shell body 231. Specifically, it can be a sealing strip 2342 or other sealing devices. Specifically, a sealing receiving groove 2341 is provided around the first cover plate 234, and a sealing strip 2342 is provided in the sealing receiving groove 2341. The sealing strip 2342 is partially exposed in the sealing receiving groove 2341. When the first cover plate 234 is closed with the outer shell body 231, the outer shell body 231 presses the sealing strip 2342 and is sealed and locked with the outer shell body 231 by screws.
[0186] In some embodiments, a second sealing element is provided between the second cover plate 235 and the outer casing body 231, which may be a sealing strip 2342 or other sealing devices. Furthermore, two second receiving cavities 233 are provided, correspondingly two second cover plates 235 are provided, and two sealing strips 2342 are also provided to seal the gap between the second cover plate 235 and the outer casing body 231.
[0187] In some embodiments, two, three or more first receiving cavities 232 may be provided, and one, three or more second receiving cavities 233 may be provided.
[0188] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 7 through 9 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the power system 2 includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery compartment 21 has an opening; the battery pack 22 is configured to be detachably mounted within the battery compartment 21 along the opening; the power management device 23 includes a housing body 231, which includes a first receiving cavity 232 and a second receiving cavity 233 isolated from each other. The first receiving cavity 232 is configured to accommodate at least one circuit board, on which a connection portion for connecting to an external device is provided. The connection portion extends into the second receiving cavity 233, and the second receiving cavity 233 is at least configured as a wiring area for electrically and / or signally connecting the connection portion located within the second receiving cavity 233 to an external device. The connection portion is disposed on a mounting surface of the circuit board, the orientation of which is different from the orientation of the opening of the battery compartment 21.
[0189] In some embodiments, the opening of the battery compartment 21 faces upward and the mounting surface of the circuit board faces downward. This allows the battery compartment 21 to be unsecured from the frame 1 and the power management device 23 to be flipped when wiring or disconnecting wires or repairing the circuit board inside the power management device 23 on the vehicle. This allows the power management device 23 to be flipped from the bottom of the battery compartment 21 to an angle and position that is easy for workers to access, thereby facilitating wiring or disconnecting of the connection part or disassembling of the housing 230 for circuit board repair.
[0190] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the connector is different from the opening direction of the battery compartment 21. Furthermore, the extension is disposed on the mounting surface of the circuit board and extends away from the mounting surface. The opening direction of the battery compartment 21 is upward, the mounting surface of the circuit board is downward, and the extension direction of the connector is also downward.
[0191] Furthermore, the power management device 23 can be installed at the bottom of the battery compartment 21, or on the side or top of the battery compartment 21, depending on the actual usage requirements.
[0192] The mounting surface of the circuit board can also be aligned with the opening direction of the battery compartment 21. In some embodiments, when the opening of the battery compartment 21 faces upward, the mounting surface of the circuit board also faces upward. In some embodiments, when the opening of the battery compartment 21 is horizontal, the mounting surface of the circuit board is also horizontal.
[0193] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 7 through 9. In some embodiments, on outdoor work vehicles, the opening of the battery compartment 21 faces upward, while the opening of the second receiving cavity 233 faces downward, opposite to the opening of the battery compartment 21. In conjunction with the above embodiments, since the mounting surface of the circuit board faces downward, the connection portion of the mounting surface also faces downward. Furthermore, since the connection portion of the circuit board is located within the second receiving cavity 233, the opening of the second receiving cavity 233 is set downward. During maintenance, when the battery compartment 21 is flipped, the battery management device is also flipped, presenting the second receiving cavity 233 at an easily accessible position and angle to the operator for wiring harness assembly / disassembly or disassembly / assembly of the power management device 23 housing 230.
[0194] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 7 through 9. In some embodiments, the power management device 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the battery compartment 21 and can move with the battery compartment 21. When the battery compartment 21 is moved, the power management device 23 can be moved simultaneously. Furthermore, when the opening of the battery compartment 21 faces upward and the second receiving cavity 233 of the power management device 23 faces downward, when the battery compartment 21 is moved and its opening is oriented horizontally or downward, the opening of the second receiving cavity 233 of the power management device 23 will correspondingly be oriented horizontally or upward. This facilitates operation within the second receiving cavity 233, allowing for the wiring harness connection of the first and second terminals to external devices.
[0195] In some embodiments, when the opening direction of the battery compartment 21 is upward, the opening direction of the second receiving cavity 233 of the power management device 23 can also be set horizontally or upward. Of course, the opening direction of the second receiving cavity 233 can also be set tilted upward or tilted downward, or it can be set horizontally.
[0196] In some embodiments, the opening direction of the first receiving cavity 232 is different from the opening direction of the battery compartment 21, that is, the opening direction of the first receiving cavity 232 is also downward. In some embodiments, the opening direction of the first receiving cavity 232 is the same as the opening direction of the battery compartment 21. Of course, the opening direction of the first receiving cavity 232 can also be set upward, horizontal, or downward according to actual needs.
[0197] In some embodiments, the opening of the battery compartment 21 is upward, the opening of the first receiving cavity 232 is upward, and the opening of the second receiving cavity 233 is downward.
[0198] In some embodiments, the power management device 23 is disposed on an outdoor work vehicle, and the surface on the outdoor work vehicle that connects to the power management device 23 is the connecting surface, and the opening direction of the second receiving cavity 233 is opposite to the connecting surface. Further, the power management device 23 may also be disposed on the frame 1 or seat 4, or other feasible locations, with the surface on the outdoor work vehicle that connects to the power management device 23 being the connecting surface, and the opening direction of the second receiving cavity 233 being set opposite to the connecting surface. This is to ensure that the connecting surface does not interfere with the installation or removal of the housing 230 of the power management device 23 or the installation or removal of the wiring harness within the second receiving cavity 233.
[0199] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, 6 through 10, and 12 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the power system 2 includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery pack 22 is assembled within the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 is configured at least to control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22. The power management device 23 includes a housing body 231, which is configured as a first receiving cavity 232 and a second receiving cavity 233 isolated from each other. The first receiving cavity 232 is configured to receive a first circuit board 24 and a second circuit board 25. The first circuit board 24 is used to provide electrical power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5. The second circuit board 25 is configured to transmit communication signals. The first circuit board 24 is provided with a first connecting part 242, and the second circuit board 25 is provided with a second connecting part 252. Both the first connecting part 242 and the second connecting part 252 can extend from the first receiving cavity 232 to the second receiving cavity 233. The first connecting part 242 and the second connecting part 252 can respectively make electrical connections and / or signal connections with external devices.
[0200] The outer casing 231 has a first stepped surface 2321 and a second stepped surface 2322 with different heights within the first receiving cavity 232. The first stepped surface 2321 has a first through hole 23211 connecting the first receiving cavity 232 and the second receiving cavity 233, and the second stepped surface 2322 has a second through hole 23221 connecting the first receiving cavity 232 and the second receiving cavity 233. The first connecting part 242 can enter the second receiving cavity 233 through the first through hole 23211, and the second connecting part 252 can enter the second receiving cavity 233 through the second through hole 23221. This allows terminals on two circuit boards within one cavity to be led out to another cavity via stepped surfaces of different heights. This ensures that when wiring to the two circuit boards is done separately, the wiring harness on the first circuit board 24 will not interfere with the wiring harness on the second circuit board 25, resulting in neat and orderly wiring connections. Furthermore, it prevents overcrowding when arranging wiring harnesses on a single circuit board. In particular, it reduces the likelihood of wires bridging between wiring harnesses on circuit boards subject to overcurrent, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuits and thus minimizing potential safety hazards.
[0201] Furthermore, configuring the first circuit board to provide power to the walking assembly or power output assembly, and configuring the second circuit board to transmit communication signals, will reduce the impact of the magnetic field generated by the first circuit board when it experiences overcurrent on the transmission of communication signals on the second circuit board.
[0202] Furthermore, the height of the first step surface 2321 is higher than the height of the second step surface 2322, and the height of the first circuit board 24 is similar to and slightly higher than the height of the first step surface 2321. The height of the second circuit board 25 is similar to and slightly higher than the height of the second step surface 2322. The portion of the first circuit board 24 with multiple first terminals is correspondingly arranged to the first step surface 2321, and the portion of the second circuit board 25 with multiple second terminals is correspondingly arranged to the second step surface 2322. By adopting a layered and independently arranged method for the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25, and by setting the first step surface 2321 and the second step surface 2322 corresponding to the respective heights of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25, the structural layout of the entire power management device 23 can be made more compact, while reducing the length of the first and second terminals.
[0203] As shown in Figure 9, in some embodiments, the wiring area of the second receiving cavity 233 includes a first wiring area 2331 and a second wiring area 2332, with the height of the first wiring area 2331 being higher than the height of the second wiring area 2332. Dividing the two wiring areas into different heights facilitates wire harness connection and reduces the occurrence of short circuits caused by wire bridging.
[0204] Referring simultaneously to Figures 2, 3, 6, and 12, in some embodiments, the power system 2 of the outdoor work vehicle of this application further includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery pack 22 is assembled within the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 and a circuit board assembly located within the housing 230. The circuit board assembly includes at least two circuit boards arranged in a stacked configuration, each of which has a connection portion. In the stacking direction, the projected surfaces of the two circuit boards have an overlapping area 259, and the connection portion on at least one circuit board is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259. Because the two circuit boards are stacked, placing the connection portion of the circuit board at least partially outside the overlapping area 259 helps reduce interference caused by space limitations on the circuit board when external wiring harnesses are connected to it, thus improving wiring efficiency.
[0205] In some embodiments, in the stacking direction, the projected area of one of the two circuit boards is larger than the projected area of the other circuit board, and the connection portion on the larger circuit board is located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0206] Referring simultaneously to Figures 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 to 12, in some embodiments, one of the two circuit boards is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. A connection portion is configured on the first circuit board 24 as a first connection portion 242 for connecting to an external device, and on the second circuit board 25 as a second connection portion 252 for connecting to an external device. In the stacking direction, the projected surfaces of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 have an overlapping area 259, and the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0207] As shown in Figure 12, in some embodiments, in the stacking direction, the projected area of the first circuit board 24 is larger than the projected area of the second circuit board 25, and the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 is at least partially located outside the overlapping area 259, or the first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24 may be entirely located outside the overlapping area 259.
[0208] Referring simultaneously to Figures 10 to 12, in some embodiments, one of the two circuit boards is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. The first circuit board 24 has a first mounting surface 241 for mounting a first connecting portion 242, and the second circuit board 25 has a second mounting surface 251 for mounting a second connecting portion 252. The first mounting surface 241 and the second mounting surface 251 face the same direction. When the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are stacked, and the first mounting surface 241 and the second mounting surface 251 face the same direction, the first mounting surface 241 will face the non-mounting surface of the second circuit board 25. This will cause the first connecting portion 242 on the first mounting surface 241 to be interfered with by the second circuit board 25 when making external connections. Therefore, by placing the first connecting portion 242 on the first mounting surface 241 outside the overlapping area 259, the interference of the first connecting portion 242 with the second circuit board 25 can be reduced when making connections.
[0209] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 simultaneously. In some embodiments, a first connection portion 242 is disposed on a first mounting surface 241 of a first circuit board 24. The first connection portion 242 includes a first terminal group 2421 and a second terminal group 2422 located in different regions. In the stacking direction, the frontal projection surface of the first circuit board 24 and the frontal projection surface of the second circuit board 25 have an overlapping region 259, and the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 are located on both sides of the overlapping region 259. Especially when the first mounting surface 241 and the second mounting surface 251 face the same direction, the above arrangement allows the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 located on the first circuit board 24 to connect to external devices while avoiding interference from the second circuit board 25.
[0210] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 10 to 12 simultaneously. Further, in conjunction with the foregoing embodiments, the battery compartment 21 includes a first side plate 211 and a second side plate 212 disposed opposite to each other. External terminals 213 are provided on both the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. The battery pack 22 is located between the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. Terminals at one end of the battery pack 22 are connected to the external terminals 213 on the first side plate 211, and terminals at the other end of the battery pack 22 are connected to the external terminals 213. In some embodiments, some terminals in the first terminal group 2421 that avoids the second circuit board 25 are connected to the external terminals 213 on the first side plate 211, and some terminals in the second terminal group 2422 that avoids the second circuit board 25 are connected to the external terminals 213 on the second side plate 212.
[0211] As shown in Figure 7, in some embodiments, in the horizontal direction, the first terminal group 2421 is disposed near the first side plate 211, and the second terminal group 2422 is disposed near the second side plate 212.
[0212] As shown in Figures 7 and 12, in some embodiments, the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 on the first circuit board 24 are located on both sides of the second circuit board 25 and are arranged one in front of the other along the forward direction of the outdoor work vehicle. The third terminal group 2521 and the fourth terminal group 2522 on the second circuit board 25 are arranged one in front of the other along the forward direction of the outdoor work vehicle.
[0213] As shown in Figure 10, in some embodiments, a first connecting portion 242 is disposed on a first mounting surface 241 of a first circuit board 24. The first connecting portion 242 includes a first terminal group 2421 and a second terminal group 2422 located in different regions, and the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 are located on the same side of the overlapping region 259. Further, the battery compartment 21 includes a first side plate 211 and a second side plate 212 disposed opposite to each other, and the battery pack 22 is located between the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. In the horizontal arrangement direction, the first terminal group 2421 and the second terminal group 2422 can both be disposed close to the first side plate 211, or both can be disposed close to the second side plate 212.
[0214] In some embodiments, the battery compartment 21 includes a first side plate 211 and a second side plate 212 disposed opposite to each other, and the battery pack 22 is located between the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. In the horizontal row direction, the third terminal group 2521 and the fourth terminal group 2522 on the second circuit board 25 may be disposed close to the first side plate 211, or both may be disposed close to the second side plate 212.
[0215] In some embodiments, the power system 2 of the outdoor work vehicle of this application includes a battery pack 22, a battery compartment 21 and a power management device 23. In order to reduce the overheating of the output terminal during the charging and discharging process due to the setting of a single output terminal in the large-capacity battery pack 22, two output terminals are provided on the battery pack 22, respectively located at both ends of the battery pack 22. The output terminal of each end is configured as a terminal for outputting electrical energy to the outside or charging the battery pack 22.
[0216] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 7, to facilitate electrical conduction between the two terminals of the battery pack 22, the battery compartment 21 of this application includes a first side plate 211 and a second side plate 212 disposed opposite each other. External terminals 213 are provided on both the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. The battery pack 22 is located between the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212. One terminal of the battery pack 22 is connected to the external terminal 213 on the first side plate 211, and the other terminal of the battery pack 22 is connected to the external terminal 213. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 and at least one circuit board located within the housing 230. A connecting portion is provided on the circuit board. In the horizontal direction, a portion of the connecting portion is disposed near the first side plate 211, and another portion is disposed near the second side plate 212. This facilitates the electrical connection of the portion of the power management device 23 to its respective external terminal 213, thereby facilitating the power management device 23's control over the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22.
[0217] Please refer to Figures 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12 simultaneously. In some embodiments, two circuit boards are disposed within the housing 230. One is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. A connection portion is configured as a first connection portion 242 on the first circuit board 24. In the horizontal direction, the first connection portion 242 includes a first terminal group 2421 disposed near the first side plate 211 and a second terminal group 2422 disposed near the second side plate 212. A connection portion is configured as a second connection portion 252 on the second circuit board 25. In the horizontal direction, the second connection portion 252 includes a third terminal group 2521 disposed near the first side plate 211 and a fourth terminal group 2522 disposed near the second side plate 212. The first connecting portion 242 is divided into a first terminal group 2421 located near the first side plate 211 and a second terminal group 2422 located near the second side plate 212. This allows the first circuit board 24 to connect a portion of the terminals in its first terminal group 2421 to the external terminals 213 on the first side plate 211 via wiring harnesses, and similarly, to connect a portion of the terminals in its second terminal group 2422 to the external terminals 213 on the second side plate 212 via wiring harnesses.

When the vehicle is being charged for outdoor operations, since high-voltage charging is often used, when the operator opens the cover, the monitoring switch 28 on the cover detects that the cover is open and transmits the information that the cover is open to the second circuit board 25 in the power management device 23. The second circuit board 25 then controls and reduces the charging current and voltage to prevent injury to the operator.
[0234] This application demonstrates the layered arrangement of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25, which allows for the installation of more external wiring interfaces on the first and second circuit boards 24 and 25 within a limited space. This enables the addition of functional modules to the first and second circuit boards 24 and 25 as needed, and facilitates information exchange or power transmission through the added interfaces, thereby enriching the functionality of the power management device 23. For example, as mentioned above, the second circuit board 25 can be equipped with a taillight step-down module, a radar step-down module, and a cooling fan step-down module.
[0235] In some embodiments, in the horizontal direction, the power management device 23 is disposed between the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212, so that the power management device 23 can make relatively balanced electrical and signal connections with the external terminals 213, the first cooling fan 2111, and the second cooling fan 2112 on the first side plate 211 and the second side plate 212 in the horizontal direction.
[0236] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 10 to 14 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the power system 2 of the outdoor work vehicle of this application is at least configured to supply power to the outdoor work vehicle. The power system 2 includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery pack 22 is installed inside the battery compartment 21 and can discharge to the outdoor work equipment and obtain external electrical energy to charge itself. The power management device 23 is at least configured to control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 and at least one circuit board located inside the housing 230. The circuit board is provided with independently arranged charging terminals 24212 and power output terminals 24222. The charging terminals 24212 are configured to obtain electrical energy transmitted by the charging connector 2112 and to charge the battery pack 22. The power output terminals 24222 are configured to receive power from the battery pack 22 and discharge to the controller. This application sets the terminals for obtaining external power and the terminals for outputting power to the outside independently on the circuit board, so that the wiring harness layout is dispersed and there will be no large number of wiring harnesses concentrated together, which would be inconvenient for external wiring.
[0237] Referring simultaneously to Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 10 to 14, in some embodiments, two circuit boards are disposed within the housing 230, one configured as a first circuit board 24 and the other as a second circuit board 25. The first circuit board 24 is at least configured to mount a charging terminal 24212 and a power output terminal 24222. The second circuit board 25 is at least configured to control the operation of the first circuit board 24, which has charging and discharging states. In the charging state, the second circuit board 25 can control the first circuit board 24 to supply power to the battery pack 22 via the charging terminal 24212. In the discharging state, the second circuit board 25 can control the first circuit board 24 to supply power to the controller via the power output terminal 24222. The first circuit board 24 is controlled by the second circuit board 25, which charges the battery pack 22 by controlling the charging terminal 24212 on the first circuit board 24 and supplies power to the controller by controlling the power output terminal 24222 on the first circuit board 24.
[0238] As shown in Figures 10 to 12, in some embodiments, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are stacked. In the stacking direction, the projection surfaces of the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 overlap in a region 259. The charging terminal 24212 and the power output terminal 24222 are located outside the overlapping region 259. Placing the charging terminal 24212 and the power output terminal 24222 outside the overlapping region 259 reduces interference from the second circuit board 255 when connecting the wiring harness to the charging terminal 24212 and the power output terminal 24222. Furthermore, when connecting or disconnecting the wiring harness, the operator can directly and quickly insert and remove the connection portion extending into the second receiving cavity, improving assembly efficiency on the production line.
[0239] As shown in Figure 13, in some embodiments, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are stacked, and the conductor 245 is disposed across the second circuit board 25. When the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 are arranged relatively compactly, the conductor 245 being disposed across the second circuit board 25 can save space.
[0240] As shown in Figures 10 to 14, in some embodiments, a switch array 243 and a capacitor array 244 are electrically connected to each other on the circuit board. The switch array 243 is configured to control the on / off state of the current flowing through it, and the capacitor array 244 is configured to store the charge flowing through it. The capacitor array 244 is electrically connected to the charging terminal 24212 and the power output terminal 24222, respectively. In the charging state, the electrical energy transmitted from the charging connector 2112 can sequentially charge the battery pack 22 through the charging terminal 24212, the capacitor array 244, and the switch array 243. In the discharging state, the electrical energy of the battery pack 22 can sequentially discharge to the controller through the switch array 243, the capacitor array 244, and the power output terminal 24222. Specifically, the circuit board is a first circuit board 24.
[0241] As shown in Figures 10 to 14, in some embodiments, the circuit board is further provided with battery pack terminals connected to the battery pack 22. These battery pack terminals are configured on the circuit board to be electrically connected to the switch array 243. The battery pack 22 receives electrical energy from the switch array 243 or outputs electrical energy to the switch array 243 through the battery pack terminals. In the discharge state, the battery pack 22 transmits electrical energy to the capacitor array 244 via the switch array 243 through the battery pack terminals. The capacitor array 244 then supplies electrical energy to the walking component 6 and / or the power output component 5. The capacitor array 244 can also supply electrical energy to other electrical components on the outdoor work equipment, or it can supply electrical energy to the second circuit board 25 for power supply. In the charging state, external electrical energy is supplied to the capacitor array 244 through the charging connector 2112. The capacitor array 244 then supplies electrical energy to the battery pack 22 for charging via the switch array 243 and the battery pack terminals. In this embodiment, the battery pack terminals are the first battery pack terminal 24211 and the second battery pack terminal 24221 described above.
[0242] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the outdoor work vehicle of this application includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery compartment 21 has an opening. The battery pack 22 is configured to be mounted in the battery compartment 21 along the opening, and the battery pack 22 can supply power to the outdoor work vehicle. The power management device 23 is at least configured to control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22, and an airflow channel 27 is formed between the power management device 23 and the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 having a cavity and at least one circuit board located in the cavity. The portion of the housing 230 that contacts the airflow channel 27 is a heat dissipation part, and the circuit board is at least partially attached to the heat dissipation part. This arrangement allows the heat generated by the power management device 23 during operation to exchange heat with the external air, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation for the power management device 23.
[0243] Referring also to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the cavity of the housing 230 can be the first receiving cavity 232 in the aforementioned embodiments.
[0244] As shown in Figures 10 to 12, in some embodiments, two circuit boards are disposed within the cavity. One is at least configured as a first circuit board 24 capable of transmitting high-power current, and the other is at least configured as a second circuit board 25 capable of outputting communication information. The first circuit board 24 is attached to a heat dissipation unit. The first circuit board 24 capable of transmitting high-power current in this application is equivalent to the aforementioned first circuit board 24 capable of supplying power to the walking assembly 6 and / or the power output assembly 5. As mentioned above, the first circuit board 24 is equipped with a MOSFET switch 2431 and a capacitor 2441, thus generating a significant amount of heat. Placing the first circuit board 24 close to the first housing 230 facilitates heat dissipation from the circuit board.
[0245] As shown in Figures 7 and 10 to 12, in some embodiments, on outdoor work vehicles, the circuit board assembly includes a first circuit board 24 and a second circuit board 25 arranged in an upper and lower layer, with the first circuit board 24 attached to a heat sink. Specifically, the first circuit board 24 can transmit high-power current, and the second circuit board 25 can transmit control commands to control the operation of the first circuit board 24. Since the first circuit board 24 generates a lot of heat, one of the purposes of designing it independently from the second circuit board 25 is that the high heat generated by the first circuit board 24 will not affect the operation of the second circuit board 25, but will instead be exchanged with the outside environment through the heat sink.
[0246] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the power management device 23 is connected to the bottom of the battery compartment 21 via a bracket 26, and an airflow channel 27 is formed between the bottom of the battery compartment 21 and the power management device 23. During the movement of the outdoor work vehicle, airflow passes through the bottom of the battery compartment 21 and carries away the heat generated by the power management device 23. Furthermore, the air within the airflow channel 27 is in a compressed state; once discharged from the airflow channel 27, the compressed air expands instantaneously and absorbs heat, further cooling the heat dissipation unit.
[0247] In some embodiments, the outdoor work vehicle of this application includes a battery compartment 21, a battery pack 22, and a power management device 23. The battery compartment 21 has an opening. The battery pack 22 is configured to be mounted in the battery compartment 21 along the opening and can power the outdoor work vehicle. The power management device 23 is configured to control the charging and discharging of the battery pack 22. An airflow channel 27 is formed between the power management device 23 and the battery compartment 21. The power management device 23 includes a housing 230 having a cavity and at least one circuit board located in the cavity. The portion of the housing 230 that contacts the airflow channel 27 is a heat dissipation portion, and the circuit board is disposed near the heat dissipation portion.
[0248] As mentioned above, by setting the circuit board close to the airflow channel 27, and by setting it relatively far away from the airflow channel 27, the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board is also better.
[0249] In some embodiments, on an outdoor work vehicle, the power management device 23 has two circuit boards disposed within its cavity. One circuit board 24 is configured to deliver high-power current, and the other is configured to output communication information. The first circuit board 24 is disposed close to a heat dissipation section. Distributing the first circuit board 24 close to the portion of the first housing 230 facilitates heat dissipation for the first circuit board 24, which generates significant heat.
[0250] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the heat dissipation part is a first cover plate 234 at the first receiving cavity 232. Furthermore, the first cover plate 234 is made of a metal material.
[0251] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 6, in some embodiments, this application further includes a power management device 23 with heat dissipation function, which is at least applied to outdoor work vehicles. The power management device 23 includes: a housing body 231, a chamber with an opening, the chamber being configured to accommodate at least one circuit board; a heat-conducting element that can cover the opening of the chamber, and the heat-conducting element can exchange heat generated by the circuit board during operation with an external cold medium. The circuit board dissipates heat through the heat-conducting element, which can dissipate the heat generated by the circuit board during operation in a timely manner. It should be understood that the chamber is the aforementioned first receiving cavity 232, and the heat-conducting element is the aforementioned first cover plate 234.
[0252] As shown in Figures 10 to 12, in some embodiments, one surface of the circuit board is provided with electrical components that can generate heat, and the other surface is attached to a heat-conducting component. This attachment effectively improves the heat dissipation of the circuit board. The electrical components that can generate heat include the aforementioned MOSFET switch 2431 and capacitor 2441, etc.
[0253] As shown in Figure 6, to further improve heat dissipation, in some embodiments, the heat-conducting component is made relatively large, which facilitates heat exchange between the heat-conducting component and the external cooling medium, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board. Specifically, the heat-conducting component is arranged parallel to the circuit board, and along a direction perpendicular to the parallel between the heat-conducting component and the circuit board, the projected area of the heat-conducting component is greater than or equal to the projected area of the circuit board. In some embodiments, the ratio of the projected area of the heat-conducting component to the projected area of the circuit board is 1 to 1.5. In some embodiments, the ratio of the projected area of the heat-conducting component to the projected area of the circuit board is 1, 1.2, or 1.5.
[0254] In some embodiments, the power management device 23 of this application has the following dimensions: length of 280mm to 330mm, width of 200mm to 260mm, and height of 45mm to 65mm. In some embodiments, the power management device 23 has the following dimensions: length of 280mm, 310mm, or 330mm, width of 200mm, 230mm, or 260mm, and height of 45mm, 58mm, or 65mm.
[0255] In some embodiments, the outer casing 231 and the heat-conducting element are made of different materials, and the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting element is greater than that of the outer casing 231. The higher the thermal conductivity, the better the heat dissipation effect.
[0256] In some embodiments, the heat-conducting element is made of a metallic material, and the housing body 231 is made of a non-metallic material.
[0257] This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above.
