DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0123] Before any examples of this application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that this application is not limited to its application to the structural details and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the above drawings.
[0124] In this application, the terms comprising, including, having or any other variation thereof are intended to cover an inclusive inclusion such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those series of elements, but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent in the process, method, article, or device. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase comprising a . . . does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising that element.
[0125] In this application, the term and/or is a kind of association relationship describing the relationship between associated objects, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships. For example, A and/or B can indicate that A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character / in this application generally indicates that the contextual associated objects belong to an and/or relationship.
[0126] In this application, the terms connection, combination, coupling and installation may be direct connection, combination, coupling or installation, and may also be indirect connection, combination, coupling or installation. Among them, for example, direct connection means that two members or assemblies are connected together without intermediaries, and indirect connection means that two members or assemblies are respectively connected with at least one intermediate members and the two members or assemblies are connected by the at least one intermediate members. In addition, connection and coupling are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, and may include electrical connections or couplings.
[0127] In this application, it is to be understood by those skilled in the art that a relative term (such as about, approximately, and substantially) used in conjunction with quantity or condition includes a stated value and has a meaning dictated by the context. For example, the relative term includes at least a degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, a tolerance caused by manufacturing, assembly, and use associated with the particular value, and the like. Such relative term should also be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. The relative term may refer to plus or minus of a certain percentage (such as 1%, 5%, 10%, or more) of an indicated value. A value that did not use the relative term should also be disclosed as a particular value with a tolerance. In addition, substantially when expressing a relative angular position relationship (for example, substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular), may refer to adding or subtracting a certain degree (such as 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) to the indicated angle.
[0128] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that a function performed by an assembly may be performed by one assembly, multiple assemblies, one member, or multiple members. Likewise, a function performed by a member may be performed by one member, an assembly, or a combination of members.
[0129] In this application, the terms up, down, left, right, front, and rear and other directional words are described based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and should not be understood as limitations to the examples of this application. In addition, in this context, it also needs to be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected above or under another element, it can not only be directly connected above or under the other element, but can also be indirectly connected above or under the other element through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that orientation words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, and rear side do not only represent perfect orientations, but can also be understood as lateral orientations. For example, lower side may include directly below, bottom left, bottom right, front bottom, and rear bottom.
[0130] FIG. 1 shows a walk-behind working machine, specifically a working machine such as a mower or a snow thrower that can work in grasslands, snowfields, or other garden environments and has a pushable function. As an optional example, the mower is used as an example for description.
[0131] As shown in FIG. 1, a mower 100 mainly includes a body 11, a handle device 13, and a connecting rod assembly 12. The body 11 includes a walking assembly 111 and a drive assembly (not shown in the figure) for driving the walking assembly 111. The handle device 13 includes a grip 131 for a user to hold. The connecting rod assembly 12 connects the body 11 to the handle device 13. It is to be understood that another walk-behind working machine such as the snow thrower may also include the handle device 13, the body 11, the walking assembly 111, the grip 131, and other components. In this example, the walking assembly is a wheel assembly.
[0132] In an example, a display 14 (see FIG. 2) is located on the handle device 13 and connected to the grip 131. It is to be noted that the position of the display 14 is not limited to being fixed on the handle device 13, and the display 14 may also be configured to be slidably or rotatably connected to the grip 131 of the handle device 13. For example, the angle of the display 14 is adjusted according to the requirements of the user, or the display 14 not in need is folded by sliding or rotating. The display 14 may also be configured to be located on the connecting rod assembly 12 or the body 11. The specific position and connection manner of the display 14 are not limited.
[0133] As shown in FIG. 4, the mower 100 includes a display switch 133. When the display switch 133 is activated, the display 14 is lit, and the relevant information of the mower 100 is displayed on the display 14.
[0134] In an example, the mower 100 involved in this example includes a self-traveling mode switch 136. The self-traveling mode switch 136 is capable of adjusting the mower 100 to a self-traveling mode, and in the self-traveling mode, the mower 100 is capable of adjusting the self-traveling speed according to the magnitude of the thrust applied by the user. In addition, the mower 100 may be adjusted to a hand-push mode by adjusting the self-traveling mode switch 136. In the hand-push mode, the mower 100 cannot travel independently and relies on only the push force applied by the user to move. When the user triggers the display switch 133 to light up the display 14, the current self-traveling mode information of the mower 100 is displayed on the display 14. At this time, if the user triggers the self-traveling mode switch 136 to adjust the mower 100 to the self-traveling mode, for example, from the hand-push mode to the self-traveling mode, the display 14 correspondingly displays that the mower 100 is changed from the hand-push mode to the self-traveling mode.
[0135] In an example, the mower 100 involved in this example includes a blade mode switch 134 controlling the rotational speed of the blade of the mower 100. When the display 14 is lit, the blade mode switch 134 is pressed, and then the mower 100 enters a constant low-speed mode, an automatic variable speed mode, and a constant high-speed mode in sequence. In the constant low-speed mode, the blades of the mower 100 rotate at a constant lower speed. In the automatic variable speed mode, the rotational speed of the blades of the mower 100 is automatically adjusted according to the magnitude of the resistance, and this mode is the default working mode of the mower 100. In the constant high-speed mode, the blades of the mower 100 rotate at a constant higher speed. When the user triggers the display switch 133 to light up the display 14, the current blade mode information of the mower 100 is displayed on the display 14. At this time, if the user triggers the blade mode switch 134 to adjust the blade mode of the mower 100, for example, from the automatic variable speed mode to the constant low-speed mode, the display 14 correspondingly displays that the mower 100 is changed from the automatic variable speed mode to the constant low-speed mode.
[0136] The mower 100 involved in this example further includes a folding switch 112, a telescopic switch 123, and a body switch 132. The folding switch 112 is used for controlling whether the mower 100 is foldable, the telescopic switch 123 is used for controlling whether the connecting rod assembly 12 of the mower 100 is telescopic, and the body switch 132 is used for controlling the drive assembly located on the body 11. In this example, the body switch 132 is a trigger 132, and the trigger 132 is rotatable along a first direction 101 (see FIG. 1). Only after the display 14 is lit, the user can adjust the function modes of the mower 100 through the self-traveling mode switch 136, the blade mode switch 134, a headlamp switch 135, and the like. When the user adjusts the folding switch 112 and the telescopic switch 123 so that the mower 100 is in a state where the folding function and the telescopic function are locked at the same time, the user closes the trigger 132 and the grip 131 of the handle device 13 to activate the drive assembly so that the mower 100 enters a cutting working state. In the working state of the mower 100, the trigger 132 needs to be kept in the closed state all the time. If the user releases the trigger 132 during operation, the drive assembly of the mower 100 stops supplying power so that the mower 100 stops the cutting operation.
[0137] In an example, light information of the walk-behind working machine is displayed on the display 14. In this example, the headlamp switch 135 (see FIG. 4) is used for controlling functions such as turning-on, turning-off, and brightness adjustment of the light of the mower 100. When the light of the mower 100 is on, this state is correspondingly displayed on the display 14. For example, if a first light of the mower 100 is on and a second light is off, the user can directly know whether a certain light is on through the display 14. For another example, if a certain light of the mower 100 is adjusted from the first brightness to the second brightness by the user, a corresponding display is made on the display 14. Therefore, when the user uses the mower 100 to perform operations, the user can be more aware of the current working state of the light, which is conducive to flexibly adjusting the lighting state and brightness mode of the light by the user according to the situation without having to trigger a light switch multiple times to detect the current illumination mode.
[0138] In an example, power information of the mower 100 is displayed on the display 14. In this example, the drive assembly of the mower 100 includes a battery pack, so power-related information such as the current power and remaining power of the battery pack is displayed on the display 14. Here, the remaining power (that is, the available power) may be displayed in a form of the percentage of the remaining power in the total power when the battery pack is fully charged, may be displayed in a form of the available time of the remaining power in the current working mode or the default working mode of the mower 100, may be displayed in conjunction with graphics, schematic views, or the like, or may be expressed in a form that can be understood by other users and can reflect the power condition.
[0139] In an example, fault information of the mower 100 is displayed on the display 14. In this example, if a motor of the mower 100 fails to start due to a fault, a corresponding reminder is displayed on the display 14 to inform the user to start the motor after resolving the corresponding fault.
[0140] In an example, the display 14 is configured to be directly operated by the user to adjust the walk-behind working machine. In this case, the walk-behind working machine does not need to have specific function keys, such as the self-traveling mode switch 136 and the blade mode switch 134, and the user can directly touch the display 14 to adjust the working mode of the walk-behind working machine. In other examples, the function keys may be integrated together with the display 14 and integrated on the display 14.
[0141] In an example, the walk-behind working machine is connected to an electronic device of the user via Bluetooth, and information about the electronic device is displayed on the display 14. When the user connects the electronic device (such as a mobile phone) of the user to the walk-behind working machine via Bluetooth, some information about the electronic device connected by the user is displayed on the display 14, such as the weather display and incoming call reminder. For another example, when a severe weather warning occurs on the electronic device of the user, the display 14 of the mower 100 simultaneously sends a reminder to the user, foretelling that the weather will soon be unfavorable for outdoor working. It is to be understood that the electronic device of the user may also be connected to the walk-behind working machine through a specific connection line, not limited to the Bluetooth connection.
[0142] FIGS. 5 to 8 disclose a specific structure of the display 14 of the walk-behind working machine. The display 14 includes a circuit board 144, a transparent cover 141, an image portion 142, a light guide portion 143, and a fixed cover 145. The circuit board 144 includes a common component 1442 (see FIG. 7) for transmitting power and signals. Light emitters 1441 (see FIG. 6) are disposed on the circuit board 144. The light guide portion 143 basically covers the light emitters 1441. The transparent cover 141 has a certain degree of transparency. The circuit board 144 is located between the transparent cover 141 and the fixed cover 145.
[0143] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the image portion 142, the light guide portion 143, and the circuit board 144 are assembled together in the transparent cover 141 and fixed by a snap 1413. In this solution, screws 146 only need to fix the transparent cover 141 and the fixed cover 145, while other movable internal components are fixed by the transparent cover 141 through the snap 1413.
[0144] FIGS. 9 and 10 show an example in which the display 14 is applied on the mower 100, the image portion 142 is a type of image film 142a, and the image film 142a is located between the transparent cover 141 and the light guide portion 143 and is glued on a first surface 1431 of a light guide portion 143a. The light guide portion 143 is a light guide plate 143a, and the light guide plate 143a basically covers the light emitters 1441. The light emitters 1441 are light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in this example and may also be other luminous materials or electronic components, which is not limited here.
[0145] As shown in FIG. 11, light guide grooves 1432 are disposed on the light guide portion 143a to guide the propagation path of the light emitted by the light emitters 1441 and prevent the light emitted by different light emitters 1441 from interfering with each other. The light guide grooves 1432 have various shapes that are respectively used for reflecting different information such as characters, numbers, symbols, and indicator lights.
[0146] In this example, the transparent cover 141 and the fixed cover 145 of a display 14a are fixed together by the screws 146. In the figure, the holes through which the screws penetrate the circuit board 144, the light guide portion 143, and the image portion 142 and the threaded holes on the transparent cover 141 are omitted. Compared with the structure of the display 14 disclosed in FIGS. 5 to 8, in the actual application of this solution, when the light emitters 1441 on the circuit board 144 are arranged, the threads or holes required when the screws penetrate need to be avoided, and the opening of the screw holes on the circuit board 144 and the light guide portion 143 has a certain impact on the space utilization rate of the circuit board 144 and the light guide portion 143.
[0147] FIG. 12 is another example of the display 14 involved in the present application. Different from the preceding example, a light guide portion 143b is disposed on a second surface 1412 of the transparent cover 141, the light guide portion 143b is a part of the transparent cover 141, and the light guide portion 143b and the transparent cover 141 are integrally formed during the manufacturing process. In an example, the image portion 142 is directly printed or engraved on a third surface 1411 of the transparent cover 141 instead of being pasted on the transparent cover 141 or the light guide portion 143 in the form of a film.
[0148] FIG. 13 is a side sectional view of the display 14 disclosed in FIGS. 9 and 10. In an example, a colloid 1421 may exist between the transparent cover 141 and the image film 142a, and the colloid 1421 basically fills the gap between the transparent cover 141 and the image film 142a so that the air in the gap is squeezed out, preventing the following: fogging caused by high air humidity makes it difficult for the user to see the displayed content of the display 14 clearly. In addition, the colloid 1421 may be used as a fixing method to fix the image film 142a on the transparent cover 141.
[0149] FIG. 14 shows a telescopic rod structure 200, specifically, a length-adjustable telescopic rod structure 200. The telescopic rod structure 200 may be applied in the walk-behind working machine, and the walk-behind working machine may be a working machine such as a mower 201 (see FIG. 29) or a snow thrower that can work in grasslands, snowfields, and other environments and has a pushable function.
[0150] As shown in FIG. 14, the walk-behind working machine has the telescopic rod structure 200, and the telescopic rod structure 200 includes a grip device 24, a telescopic rod assembly 20, and a locking device 23. The grip device 24 may be held by the user so that the user can operate the walk-behind working machine. The telescopic rod assembly 20 includes a first telescopic rod assembly 21 and a second telescopic rod assembly 22, where the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is basically parallel to the second telescopic rod assembly 22. The locking device 23 is used for adjusting the length of the telescopic rod assembly 20. The telescopic rod structure 200 in FIG. 14 further includes a spring hose 26, and the internal accommodation space may be used for accommodating circuit elements such as electric wires, which is more convenient for the walk-behind working machine controlled by electricity.
[0151] FIG. 15 shows the specific structure after the first telescopic rod assembly 21, the second telescopic rod assembly 22, and the locking device 23 are disassembled. The basic principles of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 and the second telescopic rod assembly 22 are the same, and the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is used as an example for the detailed description. The first telescopic rod assembly 21 includes a first rod 211 and a first rod 212, where the first rod 211 and the first rod 212 have different inner diameters so that the first rod 211 and the first rod 212 can be sleeved together. In this example, the inner diameter of the first rod 211 is less than the inner diameter of the first rod 212 so that the first rod 211 protrudes into the first rod 212.
[0152] The locking device 23 includes a locking rod 231, an operating member 232, and a locking assembly 230. The locking assembly 230 is further divided into a first locking assembly 233 and a second locking assembly 234. The locking rod 231 connects the first locking assembly 233 to the second locking assembly 234, and the first locking assembly 233 and the second locking assembly 234 are located at two ends of the locking rod 231. A second cover 235 and a second cover 236 provide an accommodation space to limit the locking rod 231, the operating member 232, the locking assembly 230, the first telescopic rod assembly 21, and the second telescopic rod assembly 22 in a fixed space. The principles of the first locking assembly 233 and the second locking assembly 234 are the same. The first locking assembly 233 and the second locking assembly 234 are connected by the locking rod 231 and separately located at two ends of the locking rod 231. Now, the first locking assembly 233 is used as an example for describing the specific structure and principle.
[0153] FIGS. 16 to 19 are specific technical solutions of the telescopic rod structure 200 as the first example. A first locking assembly 233a includes a first rotary member 2331, a rigid member 2332, and a first elastic member 2333. A pin 313 (see FIG. 18) penetrates a first opening 311 of the first rotary member 2331 and a second opening 312 of a locking rod 231a at the same time, thereby fixing the first rotary member 2331 and the locking rod 231a and ensuring that the first rotary member 2331 rotates synchronously with the locking rod 231a when the locking rod 231a rotates. The first rotary member 2331 further includes a first extension portion 310 (see FIG. 16). When the first rotary member 2331 rotates, the first extension portion 310 rotates synchronously with the first rotary member 2331. As shown in FIG. 17, the first rod 212 includes a hole 2122, and the hole 2122 has a diameter large enough for the first extension portion 310 of the first rotary member 2331 to penetrate the hole 2122. The first rod 212 further includes a first groove 2121, and the first elastic member 2333 penetrates the first groove 2121 and is in contact with the first rod 211. When the first elastic member 2333 is compressed, the first elastic member 2333 presses the first rod 211 and prevents the first rod 211 from moving along the axial direction of the first rod 211.
[0154] As shown in FIG. 16, the locking assembly 233a is in a first state, the first elastic member 2332 is released, and the first extension portion 310 of the first rotary member 2331 is located outside the hole 2122 of the first rod 212. At this time, the first rod 211 and the first rod 212 are telescopic along the up and down direction, that is, in this state, the length of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is adjustable.
[0155] As shown in FIG. 17, the first rotary member 2331 includes a cam surface, the cam surface is in contact with the rigid member 2332, and the first elastic member 2333 is located below the rigid member 2332. When the locking assembly 233a is in a second state, the first elastic member 2333 is pressed by the rigid member 2332 so that the thickness of the first elastic member 2333 becomes smaller. In conjunction with FIG. 18, the frictional resistance generated when the first elastic member 2333 is pressed prevents the first rod 211 from further extending into the first rod 212; and the first extension portion 310 of the first rotary member 2331 is located inside the hole 2122 of the first rod 212, so as to lock the relative position between the first rod 211 and the first rod 212. At this time, the first rod 211 and the first rod 212 are locked along the axial direction of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 through the first extension portion 310, that is, in this state, the length of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is fixed.
[0156] It is to be noted that, in some examples, the first elastic member 2333 and the rigid member 2332 may be the same component, which is not limited here.
[0157] As shown in FIG. 19, a pin 316 penetrates a second opening 315 on the locking rod 231 and a third opening 314 on the operating member 232 at the same time, and a torsion spring 318 is located in an engagement groove 317 of the operating member 232. In another example of the locking rod 231 (see FIGS. 20 and 21), the section of the locking rod 231b on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the locking rod 231b is an irregular circular shape, and the operating member 232 and the locking rod 231 can be fixed without the need for a pin.
[0158] It is to be noted that no matter which example is used to connect the locking rod 231, the operating member 232, the first locking assembly 233, and the second locking assembly 234, the first locking assembly 233 and the second locking assembly 234 can be controlled through the rotation of the locking rod 231. That is to say, when the operating member 232 is operated, the first telescopic rod assembly 21 and the second telescopic rod assembly 22 are locked or released at the same time so that the user does not need to operate the locking assembly on a certain side separately to lock or release the telescopic rod structure 200. The locking rod 231 is provided and connects the first locking assembly 233 to the second locking assembly 234, and the locking assemblies on two sides are in the same state so that the unlocking or locking operation of the user is more stable and reliable and is less likely to fail.
[0159] FIGS. 22 to 26 show the internal structure of the telescopic rod structure 200 as the second example. The internal structure of a first locking assembly 233b is described below as an example.
[0160] As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the first locking assembly 233b includes a second rotary member 2335, a lock 2336, an elastic sleeve 2337, and a second elastic member 2338. A locking rod 231c includes a mating portion 322 and a second extension portion 321. The mating portion 322 mates with a first mating surface 351 of the second rotary member 2335. When the locking rod 231c rotates, the second rotary member 2335 rotates synchronously. The lock 2336 includes at least one limiting portion 363, and the limiting portion 363 is limited by one of the first cover 235 and the second cover 236 or both the first cover 235 and the second cover 236 so that the lock 2336 cannot rotate and can only move along the axial direction of the locking rod 231c. The second rotary member 2335 further includes a second mating surface 352. The second mating surface 352 mates with a third mating surface 361 of the lock 2336. When the second rotary member 2335 rotates, the lock 2336 is displaced along the axial direction of the locking rod 231c. Therefore, the rotation of the locking rod 231c causes the lock 2336 to enter or move out of the telescopic rod assembly 21.
[0161] Now focusing on FIGS. 25 and 26, the first locking assembly 233b in FIG. 25 is in the first state. At this time, a third extension portion 362 on the lock 2336 is located outside a fourth opening 2111 of the first rod 211, the second elastic member 2338 is released, the first rod 211 may extend downward into the first rod 212, and the elastic sleeve 2337 is separated from the outer wall of the first rod 211 and does not apply a friction to the first rod 211. That is, in this state, the length of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is adjustable. The first locking assembly 233b in FIG. 26 is in the second state. At this time, the locking rod 231c rotates by a certain angle from the first state so that the distance between the second mating surface 352 of the second rotary member 2335 and the third mating surface 361 of the lock 2336 is reduced, while the axial position of the locking rod 231c remains unchanged. In this manner, the second extension portion 362 on the lock 2336 moves into the fourth opening 2111 of the first rod 211, and the first rod 211 cannot continue extending downward into the first rod 212. At the same time, the second elastic member 2338 is pressed, and the elastic sleeve 2337 fits the outer wall of the first rod 211 and applies a friction to the first rod 211, further preventing the first rod 211 from moving relative to the first rod 212. That is, in this state, the length of the first telescopic rod assembly 21 is fixed.
[0162] It is to be noted that, in some examples, the elastic sleeve 2337 may be used as a part of the lock 2336 and integrally formed with the lock 2336, which is not limited here.
[0163] FIG. 27 is another example of the operating member 232 that is different from that in FIG. 1. It is to be pointed out here that changes in the specific position and opening angle of the operating member 232 do not affect the effect of the present application and the design of changing the position of the operating member 232 without changing the implementation principle of the telescopic rod structure 200 falls within the scope of the present application.
[0164] Referring to FIG. 28, in some examples, the first rod 211, the first rod 212, and a first intermediate rod 213 may further be included, that is, a connecting rod is added between the first rod 211 and the first rod 212, but the implementation of the function is not affected.
[0165] The function of the first cover 235 and the second cover 236 is to provide a closed and stable space for the internal assembly. As shown in FIG. 15, a first end cover 2361 and a second end cover 2362 are additionally provided on the second cover 236 to facilitate the assembly of the first locking assembly 233 and the second locking assembly 234. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 22, the second cover 236b and the first cover 235b are directly assembled, which is suitable for the case where the locking assembly 230 is easier to assemble. In addition, the forms of the cover plates are not limited to the first cover 235 and the second cover 236, and the cover plates may also be a left cover and a right cover along the axial direction of the locking rod 231 or a combination of the left cover, the right cover, and an intermediate cover. The forms of the cover plates are not limited here.
[0166] FIG. 29 shows a walk-behind working machine 201. The walk-behind working machine 201 includes the grip device 24, the telescopic rod assembly 20, the locking device 23, a walking assembly 25, a cutting assembly 27, and the motor (not shown in the figure). The grip device 24 is used for the user to hold. The telescopic rod assembly 20 includes the first telescopic rod assembly 21 and the second telescopic rod assembly 22. The walking assembly 25 and the grip device 24 are connected by the first telescopic rod assembly 21 and the second telescopic rod assembly 22. The cutting assembly 27 is used for completing a mowing operation. The motor is used for driving the cutting assembly 27 to perform the mowing operation. The specific technical features are stated above and not repeated here.
[0167] It is to be noted that the orientation of the view in FIG. 29 is different from the orientations shown in FIGS. 14 to 28, FIG. 29 shows the use angle of the telescopic rod in practical applications, and in practical applications, the positions of the locking device 23 and the operating member 232 on the telescopic rod structure 200 may be adjusted, which is not limited to the manner disclosed in the drawings of this specification. If the operating member 232 is an operating wrench, the wrenching direction and angle of the wrench may be changed with the change of the overall technical solution and finally serve an operator so that the operator has a good operating experience.
[0168] FIG. 30 shows a rear-traveling self-propelled working machine, which may specifically be a mower 400, a snow thrower, a trolley, or another working machine with a self-propelled function. As an optional example, the mower 400 is used as an example for description. Specifically, the mower 400 in this example is a push mower 400.
[0169] As shown in FIG. 30, the mower 400 mainly includes a body 40, an operating device 41, and a grass collecting device 45. The body 40 includes a working element for implementing the function of the walk-behind working machine. Specifically, the body 40 includes a chassis 401, a power mechanism 402, and a walking assembly 403, and the chassis 401 serves as the main support structure of the mower 400 and assembles all parts into one. The walking assembly 403 is mounted on the chassis 401 and used for supporting the chassis 401, and the walking assembly 403 rotates relative to the chassis 401 so that the chassis 401 moves on the ground. The walking assembly 403 may be wheels. The power mechanism 402 is mounted on the chassis 401 and used for driving the walking assembly 403 to rotate, thereby driving the mower 400 to move on the ground. The grass collecting device 45 is connected to the rear of the body 40 and used for collecting the cut weeds. The grass collecting device 45 may specifically be a grass collecting basket or a grass collecting box.
[0170] The operating device 41 is connected to the body 40 and used for the user to operate the mower 400 on the rear side of the mower 400. The operating device 41 in this example includes a switch box 411, and an electronic component for controlling the working state of the working element is disposed in the switch box 411.
[0171] As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the walk-behind working machine further includes a first mounting portion 42 disposed on the switch box 411 and a second mounting portion 43 detachably connected to the first mounting portion 42, where the second mounting portion 43 can be connected to or formed on different attachments. The walk-behind working machine can be attached with different attachments, has relatively high universal interchangeability, can satisfy different use requirements of the user, and improves user satisfaction.
[0172] As shown in FIGS. 31, 35, and 36, the attachments in this example include a storage box 441, a phone holder 442, a cup holder 443, an electric fan, and the like, and items such as a mobile phone and a key may be placed in the storage box 441.
[0173] In an example, with continued reference to FIG. 30, the operating device 41 further includes a handle 412 for the user to push the mower 400 to travel, and the switch box 411 is fixed to the handle 412. In this structure, the attachment is relatively close to the user and is convenient for the user to pick up and use.
[0174] Further, the handle 412 includes a grip 4121 and a connecting rod 4122. The grip 4121 is for the user to hold, so as to apply a force to push the mower 400. The connecting rod 4122 is a hollow long rod structure, and the connecting rod 4122 is used for connecting the grip 4121 to the body 40. Two connecting rods 4122 are provided side by side in the left and right direction, thereby improving the connection stability between the grip 4121 and the body 40. In this example, the grip 4121 at least partially extends along a direction of a first straight line, and the connecting rods 4122 extend along a direction of a second straight line perpendicular to the first straight line.
[0175] The grip 4121 is made of plastic material, which is convenient for forming and connecting with other parts, while the connecting rods 4122 are made of metal material to ensure the strength.
[0176] One end of the switch box 411 is fixed to the grip 4121, and the other end of the switch box 411 is fixed to the connecting rod 4122. The switch box 411 is used for accommodating an operating switch. The switch box 411 includes a switch box cover and a switch box seat, and the switch box cover and the switch box seat clamp the grip 4121 and the connecting rod 4122 from two sides.
[0177] In this example, the first mounting portion 42 and the second mounting portion 43 are connected in a snap-fit manner. The snap connection has a simple structure and is easy to implement and operate. Other detachable connection manners between the first mounting portion 42 and the second mounting portion 43 may be adopted, such as a threaded connection, a hinge connection, and a magnetic attraction connection, which may be designed according to actual conditions.
[0178] In an example, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, the first mounting portion 42 is a mounting hole opened on the switch box 411, and a snap 431 mating with the mounting hole is disposed on the second mounting portion 43. The snap 431 snaps into the mounting hole, so as to achieve the quick assembly and disassembly of the first mounting portion 42 and the second mounting portion 43. At least two snaps 431 and at least two mounting holes are provided to improve the connection stability. In this example, four snaps 431 and four mounting holes are separately provided.
[0179] Further, in an example, the first mounting portion 42 is the snap 431 disposed on the switch box 411, and a mounting hole mating with the snap 431 is disposed on the second mounting portion 43.
[0180] The second mounting portion 43 is a mounting plate, and the mounting plate and the first mounting portion 42 are connected in a snap-fit manner. The mounting plate is provided with the snap 431, and the snap 431 and the mounting hole are connected in a snap-fit manner.
[0181] The mounting plate and the attachment are detachably connected by screws so that different attachments can be replaced. The mounting plate is used as an intermediate connector. One end of the mounting plate is connected to the first mounting portion 42 on the switch box 411, and the other end of the mounting plate is connected to the attachment. The types of the attachments connected to the mounting plate may be replaced according to actual requirements, the attachments are interchangeable, more additional functions can be implemented, the versatility and adaptability are improved, and the diverse use requirements of the user can be satisfied. The mounting plate and the attachment may be connected in a detachable manner in which a hook is hooked to a hanging groove, as long as the quick disassembly and assembly between the mounting plate and the attachment can be achieved.
[0182] In this example, as shown in FIGS. 35 and 36, the grip 4121 includes a first grip 41211 for the left hand of the user to hold and a second grip 41212 for the right hand of the user to hold, where the first grip 41211 and the second grip 41212 are symmetrical about a symmetry plane. When the attachment is the phone holder 442, the phone holder 442 is located between the first grip 41211 and the second grip 41212. In this example, the first grip 41211 and the second grip 41212 are an integral structure. The grip 4121 may also be formed by connecting the first grip 41211 and the second grip 41212 that are independent of each other.
[0183] When the attachment is the phone holder 442, the phone holder 442 includes a first connecting plate and a bracket body. The first connecting plate is U-shaped, one end of the first connecting plate is connected to the mounting plate, and the other end of the first connecting plate bypasses the switch box 411 and is connected to the bracket body. The bracket body is used for clamping the mobile phone, and the bracket body is set upward and inclined toward the face of the user, so as to facilitate the operation and use of the user. The mobile phone communicates with the mower 400 to control the mower 400. Specifically, this function can be implemented through connection manners such as Bluetooth.
[0184] As shown in FIG. 36, when the attachment is the cup holder 443, the cup holder 443 is located between the two connecting rods 4122. Specifically, the cup holder 443 includes a second connecting plate and a bracket body. One end of the second connecting plate is connected to the mounting plate, and the other end of the second connecting plate is fixed with the bracket body. The bracket body is located below the switch box 411 and between the two connecting rods 4122, and the frame body is used for placing a water cup or a drink cup.
[0185] When the attachment is an electric fan, the base of the electric fan is connected to the mounting plate, and the electric fan is set toward the user so that the air can be blown to the user when the user uses the mower 400, thereby improving user comfort. It is to be understood that the electric fan referred to in this example is a small electric fan, such as a desk small electric fan and a small electric fan that can be clamped on the head of a bed.
[0186] The display 14 in FIG. 1 is further described below.
[0187] FIG. 38 is a side view of the mower 100 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 39 is a partial enlarged view of FIG. 38. As shown in FIG. 39, the grip 131 is basically symmetrical about a first middle plane 502, the first middle plane 501 is a plane perpendicular to a paper surface, and the first middle plane 502 extends along the left and right direction of the mower 100. The display 14 is basically symmetrical about a second middle plane 502, the second middle plane 502 is a plane perpendicular to the paper surface, and the second middle plane 502 extends along the left and right direction of the mower 100. Therefore, from the perspective of the side view of the mower 100, the grip 131 extends basically along the first middle plane 501, and the display 14 extends basically along the second middle plane 502. The first middle plane 501 is basically parallel to the second middle plane 502. Here, basically means that the included angle formed by the first middle plane 501 and the second middle plane 502 is less than or equal to 10 degrees.
[0188] The second middle plane 502 is basically perpendicular to the telescopic rod assembly 20. The telescopic rod assembly 20 is a telescopically adjustable rod and connects the body 11 to the handle device 13. The details are shown in the specification above.
[0189] As shown in FIG. 40, the display 14 includes a top 541 at the top end and a bottom 542 at the bottom end. The top 541 is located at the topmost end of the display 14, the top 541 is not directly connected to the grip 131, and the bottom 542 is not directly connected to the grip 131 either. The display 14 includes a display interface 543 for presenting information about the walk-behind working machine to the user. The display interface 543 may be made of LEDs, a liquid-crystal display (LCD), or other luminous materials. It is to be noted that the top 541 here may be understood as follows: when the display 14 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the top 541 of the display 14 is a housing, the housing surrounds the outside of the display interface 543, and the top 541 is located on the upper part of the display interface 543. In an example, the top 541 is located above the display 14. In an example, if the display interface 543 covers the upper half of the display 14, the top 541 is the upper part of the display interface 543.
[0190] As shown in FIG. 41, the switch box 411 is connected to two ends of the grip 131. The switch box 411 includes a mounting structure 4111, and the bottom 542 of the display 14 is mounted to the mounting structure 4111 of the switch box 411. The display 14 may be mechanically and electrically connected to the switch box 411 through the mounting structure 4111, a control assembly is disposed in the switch box 411, and the control assembly is electrically connected to the display interface 543 of the display 14. The display 14 is detachably mounted to the mounting structure 4111 of the handle device 13.
[0191] In an example, the display 14 is non-rotatably fixed in the mounting structure 4111.
[0192] In an example, the top 541 of the display 14 is rotatable about the bottom 542, and the included angle formed by the first middle plane 501 and the second middle plane 502 is less than or equal to 45 degrees. In some examples, the included angle formed by the first middle plane 501 and the second middle plane 502 may be 15 degrees, 30 degrees, or 45 degrees.
[0193] Now, referring to FIG. 4, in an example, viewing the display 14 from a direction perpendicular to the display interface 543 of the display 14, only one side of the display 14 is connected to the handle device 13. In an example, only one side of the display 14 is connected to the switch box 411.
[0194] The display 14 viewed from the direction perpendicular to the display interface of the display 14 has at least an upper boundary 551 and a lower boundary 552, where the upper boundary 551 is basically parallel to the lower boundary 552, and the lower boundary 552 is connected to the switch box 411. In an example, the upper boundary 551 of the display 14 may be connected to the grip 131 so that the lower boundary 552 of the display 14 is suspended, and the control assembly is connected to the switch box 411 through the wire in the grip 131.
[0195] According to the technical solution disclosed in the present application, one side of the display 14 is directly connected to the handle device 13, and the other side of the display 14 is not connected to the handle device 13 so that the display 14 may be configured to be a slidable, detachable, and rotatable structure, thereby improving the practicability of the display 14. In the first aspect, the rotatable display 14 satisfies the observation requirements of more users; in the second aspect, the detachable display 14 facilitates the replacement of attachments, for example, replacing the display 14 with the phone holder 442, to implement more functions; in the third aspect, when the power of the mower 100 is insufficient, the user may choose to remove the display 14 to save power.
[0196] It is to be emphasized that the technical solutions involved in the present application can be applied not only to the mower but also to other pushable working machines such as the snow thrower.
[0197] FIGS. 42 to 61 show more examples of the display 14 of the walk-behind working machine. FIG. 42 shows a walk-behind mower, which is a working machine that can work in garden environments such as grasslands and has a pushable function. It is to be noted that the walk-behind mower does not necessarily have to rely on the thrust of the user to move.
[0198] As shown in FIG. 42, the mower 100 mainly includes the body 11, a holding handle 13, and the connecting rod assembly 12. The body 11 includes the walking assembly 111 and the drive assembly (not shown in the figure) for driving the walking assembly 111 to travel. The body 11 is further provided with cutting blades and a cutting drive assembly for driving the cutting blades to work (the cutting blades and the cutting drive assembly are not shown in the figure). The connecting rod assembly 12 connects the body 11 to the holding handle 13, and the connecting rod assembly 12 is pivotally connected to the body 11 around a pivot axis 102. The connecting rod assembly 12 can be folded above the body 11 for easy storage. In this example, the walking assembly 111 is a wheel assembly.
[0199] It is to be noted that the holding handle 13 is used for the user to hold. For some mowers 100, the switch box is provided at the place connected to the holding handle 13, and the control assembly for controlling the operation of the mower 100 is disposed in the switch box. In this case, even though the switch box is connected to the mower 100, the switch box is not used for the user to hold, so the switch box does not belong to the holding handle 13.
[0200] As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the connecting rod assembly 12 includes a first end 1201, the first end 1201 is an end of the connecting rod assembly 12 facing away from the body 11, an end of the connecting rod assembly 12 opposite to the first end 1201 is a second end 1202, and the second end 1202 is pivotally connected to the body 11 around the pivot axis 102.
[0201] To put it another way, in the extension direction of the connecting rod assembly 12, an end of the mower 100 facing away from the body 11 is the first end 1201, and an end of the mower 100 facing the body 11 is the second end 1202. That is to say, the connecting rod assembly 12 includes both the connecting rod and a housing enclosing the connecting rod, and the connecting rod assembly 12 is not defined solely by the telescopic part.
[0202] In an example, the walk-behind mower further includes the display 14, the display 14 includes an electronic display screen 1401, the display 14 is disposed between the holding handle 13 and the pivot axis 102, and the distance L1 between the first end 1201 of the connecting rod assembly 12 and a lower boundary 1402 of the electronic display screen 1401 of the display 14 is greater than 70 mm. In some examples, the distance L2 between the centerline of the holding handle 13 and the lower boundary 1402 of the electronic display screen 1401 of the display 14 is greater than 50 mm. The advantage of this arrangement is that the user's grip on the holding handle 13 is not affected, and the electronic display screen 1401 of the display 14 is not blocked when the user holds the holding handle 13, which is convenient for the user to view and operate the display 14 and less prone to the accidental touch or misuse.
[0203] In some examples, the distance between the first end 1201 of the connecting rod assembly 12 and the pivot axis 102 is L3, where L1/L3>0.1. The distance between the display 14 and the first end 1201 is properly set such that the display 14 is not blocked when the user holds the holding handle 13, which is convenient for the user to view and operate the display 14.
[0204] As shown in FIG. 45, in another example, the display 14 is disposed on the connecting rod assembly 12, and the connecting rod assembly 12 provides an installation carrier for the installation of the display 14. Alternatively, a mounting portion 6 for mounting the display 14 is disposed on the connecting rod assembly 12, thereby facilitating the installation of the display 14. In this solution, the distance between the display 14 and the holding handle 13 is not limited for the reason that when the display 14 is disposed on the connecting rod assembly 12, the relative position between the display 14 and the holding handle 13 does not necessarily affect the operation on the display 14 by the user. The display 14 may be disposed on a side of the holding handle 13 closer to the first end 1201 and may also be close to the position of the holding handle 13 viewed in the left and right direction, and the display 14 may be rotated so as to avoid the interference with the user operating the holding handle 13.
[0205] In some examples, the display 14 is detachable, at least two installation positions for setting the display 14 may be provided between the holding handle 13 and the pivot axis 102, and the user may change the position of the display 14 according to use requirements.

Alternatively, at least one installation position is set on any two or more of the rear side surface 621, the top side 61, the left side surface 622, and the right side surface 623 of the body 11.
[0256] In some examples, a first accommodation groove is disposed on the left side surface 622 or the right side surface 623 of the body 11, the display 14 is rotatably disposed in the first accommodation groove, and the electronic display screen 1401 of the display 14 can be flush with the left side surface 622 or the right side surface 623 of the body 11 so that the display 14 can be completely accommodated, thereby reducing the risk of the display 14 being damaged. The display 14 may be detachably connected to the first accommodation groove so that the display 14 can be mounted at different installation positions. The connecting rod assembly 12 may be a telescopic structure, which is not specifically limited here.
[0257] FIGS. 62 to 65 disclose more examples of the storage box of the walk-behind working machine. Items such as a mobile phone, a key, and a bottle may be placed in a storage box 451. In some examples, storage boxes (441, 451, and 461) are adapted to the walk-behind mower. FIGS. 62 and 63 show the storage box 451, and FIGS. 64 and 65 show the storage box 461. In conjunction with FIGS. 31 and 32, in an example, both the storage box 451 and the storage box 461 may be mounted on the first mounting portion 42 on the switch box 411. Similar to the storage box 441 disclosed in FIG. 31, the storage box 451 is also disposed on the lower side of the handle 412.
[0258] The storage box 451 includes an accommodation body 4512, and the accommodation body 4512 forms a first accommodation space 450. The first accommodation space 450 may be open or closed. In an example, the storage box 451 includes a cover 4511. When the cover 4511 is closed, the accommodation body 4512 and the cover 4511 together surround the closed first accommodation space 450. A connection assembly 4513 is disposed at a position where the cover 4511 is connected to the accommodation body 4512. In an example, the connection assembly 4513 is a zipper. In other examples, the connection assembly 4513 may implement the connection function through various connection manners such as a magnetic buckle, Velcro, and a snap.
[0259] The storage box or the accommodation body 4512 may be made of hard materials such as plastic or flexible materials such as linen. In an example, the accommodation body 4512 may be made of hard materials and flexible materials, for example, a hard frame and flexible fabric. That is to say, the name of the storage box cannot limit the storage box 451 to be a type of box, and the storage box may be a flexible bag.
[0260] In an example, the storage box 451 further has a second accommodation space 4514, and the volume of the second accommodation space 4514 is less than the volume of the first accommodation space 450. In other words, the storage box 451 may have two or more independent accommodation spaces for placing different items without interfering with each other.
[0261] As shown in FIGS. 64 and 65, the storage box 461 does not include the cover 4511, and the accommodation body 4512 forms the open first accommodation space 450. The storage box 461 may include hooks 4612, and the hooks 4612 may be used for hanging items such as keys. The storage box 461 further includes bottle grooves 4611, and an arc-shaped housing may form at least one bottle groove 4611 for placing the bottle. In addition, a bottle bag 4613 is disposed on the side of the storage box 461, and the bottle bag 4613 may be made of flexible materials such as a net bag and canvas. Each of the bottle groove 4611 and the bottle bag 4613 may be configured to be a telescopic structure, such as an elastic net bag or a groove with a movable housing, so as to accommodate bottles of different dimensions and place the bottles stably.
[0262] As shown in FIG. 65, in an example, the storage box 461 is basically in the shape of a cuboid, the length X of the storage box 461 is less than or equal to 600 mm, the height Z is less than or equal to 500 mm, and the width Y is less than or equal to 300 mm. The height Z of the storage box 461 is basically parallel to the extension direction of the connecting rod 4122, and the length X of the storage box 461 is basically parallel to the extension direction of the locking rod 231. It is to be noted that the length X, the height Z, and the width Y are all the measured distances of the outer surface of the storage box 461, rather than the dimensions of the internal first accommodation space 450.
[0263] The volume of the first accommodation space 450 is less than or equal to 70 L. In some examples, the volume of the first accommodation space 450 may be approximately 30 L, 40 L, 50 L, or 60 L. The total mass of the items that can be placed in the storage box is less than or equal to 10 kg. In some examples, the total mass of the items that can be placed in the storage box may be 4 kg, 5 kg, 6 kg, or 7 kg.
[0264] To mount or hang attachments such as user's items on the walk-behind mower and facilitate the placement of a grass collecting basket, as shown in FIGS. 66 to 80, the present application further provides a walk-behind mower 500. The walk-behind mower 500 includes a body 50, an operating device 52, a grass collecting basket 55, and a mounting assembly 53.
[0265] The body 50 includes a traveling assembly 503 and a cutting assembly 501. The operating device 52 is electrically connected to the body 50 to allow the user to operate the walk-behind mower 500 on the rear side of the walk-behind mower 500. The operating device 52 includes a switch box 521, and an electronic component at least for controlling the working state of the cutting assembly 501 is provided in the switch box 521. The grass collecting basket 55 is selectively connected to the body 50 and configured to collect grass clippings generated by cutting. The length of the grass collecting basket 55 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is the width of the grass collecting basket 55. The mounting assembly 53 includes at least one protrusion 531 disposed on the switch box 521 and used for mounting an attachment. The span of the mounting assembly 53 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is greater than or equal to 5 cm and less than the width of the grass collecting basket 55.
[0266] In some examples, the span of the mounting assembly 53 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 may be 5 cm, 7 cm, 9 cm, 11 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm, or the like. The mounting assembly 53 is designed according to the lateral length of the walk-behind mower 500 and the width of the grass collecting basket 55 so that the user can hang or mount an attachment such as an item at will, and the hung attachment is stable and not easily lifted up at one of two ends. When the mounting assembly 53 includes only one protrusion 531, the span of the mounting assembly 53 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is the width of the protrusion 531.
[0267] By providing the protrusion 531 on the switch box 521, the attachment can be mounted. During use, the user only needs to mount the attachment such as the item on the protrusion 531 to ensure the convenience of use of the walk-behind mower 500. The span of the mounting assembly 53 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is less than the width of the grass collecting basket 55. When the walk-behind mower 500 is in a storage state, the grass collecting basket 55 can be hung on the walk-behind mower 500 using the mounting assembly 53, thereby facilitating the placement of the grass collecting basket 55. Since the protrusion 531 is located on the switch box 521 and the switch box 521 is adjacent to the operating side of the user, it is convenient for the user to hang or mount the attachment on the protrusion 531 and access the attachment.
[0268] In some examples, the protrusion 531 includes a stiffener, and the load-bearing capacity of the protrusion 531 is greater than or equal to 1 kg. The load-bearing capacity of the protrusion 531 may be 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg, 5 kg, or the like. The load-bearing capacity of the protrusion 531 may be designed according to the model and weight of the walk-behind mower 500, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. By providing the stiffener, the strength of the protrusion 531 can be improved, thereby preventing the protrusion 531 from being deformed or even damaged when a heavier attachment is hung or mounted on the protrusion 531.
[0269] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the mounting assembly 53 includes two protrusions 531, and the distance L1 between the two protrusions 531 is greater than 5 cm. The distance L1 between the two protrusions 531 may be 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 11 cm, or the like, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. By providing two protrusions 531 on the switch box 521, the number of hanging installation points can be increased so that more attachments such as items can be mounted. The two protrusions 531 are spaced apart so that a gap is formed between the protrusions 531, thereby facilitating the placement of items on the two protrusions 531.
[0270] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the mounting assembly 53 is symmetrical about the centerline of the switch box 521 and is disposed on the back side of the switch box 521, and the back side faces the user. The symmetrical design of the mounting assembly 53 on the switch box 521 ensures aesthetics. Furthermore, since the mounting assembly 53 is located on a side of the switch box 521 facing the user, it is convenient for the user to place or access attachments.
[0271] As shown in FIG. 68, in some examples, the switch box 521 includes a housing 5211, and the protrusion 531 is integrally formed with the housing 5211. By adopting the integral molding process, the manufacturing of the protrusion 531 and the housing 5211 is facilitated, the subsequent assembly processes are reduced, and the strength of the connection between the protrusion 531 and the housing 5211 can be ensured. The protrusion 531 and the housing 5211 may both be made of plastic and integrally formed through an injection molding process. In some other examples, the protrusion 531 may be mounted on the housing 5211 through fixation by a screw 5021. When the protrusion 531 is damaged, the protrusion 531 is easy to replace.
[0272] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the switch box 521 is T-shaped and includes a cross beam 5212, and the protrusions 531 are disposed on the cross beam 5212. Since the cross beam 5212 faces the user's body and is relatively long, the protrusions 531 are disposed on the cross beam 5212 so that it is convenient for the user to hang or access items.
[0273] As shown in FIGS. 70 and 72, in some examples, the protrusions 531 protrude relative to the housing 5211 of the switch box 521 to form hanging installation points. When the user is operating the walk-behind mower 500, the user can easily hang items on the protrusions 531 or remove items from the protrusions 531 so that the protrusions 531 are convenient for the user to use. The protrusion 531 may be a hook so that it is convenient for the user to hang an item such as a bag or a hat on the protrusion 531. A cup holder may be mounted on the protrusion 531, and a cup may be placed in the cup holder so that the user can carry water while working. A storage frame may be mounted on the protrusion 531 so that the user can place personal belongings such as a mobile phone in the storage frame.
[0274] In some examples, the included angle between the protrusion 531 and a plane where the switch box 521 is located is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 90. The included angle between the protrusion 531 and the plane where the switch box 521 is located may be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90. The angle between the protrusion 531 and the switch box 521 may be flexibly set according to the use scenario of the walk-behind mower 500, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. When the included angle between the protrusion 531 and the plane where the switch box 521 is located is an acute angle, a wedge-shaped space is formed. When an item is hung on the protrusion 531, the item can be effectively prevented from falling due to the vibration generated by the operation of the walk-behind mower 500.
[0275] As shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, in some examples, the grass collecting basket 55 includes a frame 551, and the frame 551 is capable of being hung on the mounting assembly 53. The grass collecting basket 55 has the frame 551 which can support the grass collecting basket 55. When the grass collecting basket 55 is mounted on the walk-behind mower 500 for use, the opening of the grass collecting basket 55 is ensured to be in a stable open state, thereby facilitating the collection of grass clippings. Furthermore, when the walk-behind mower 500 is in the storage state, the grass collecting basket 55 may be hung on the mounting assembly 53 through the frame 551, thereby facilitating the placement of the grass collecting basket 55.
[0276] As shown in FIG. 73, in some examples, the operating device 52 is disposed on a connecting rod assembly 51 of the walk-behind mower 500, the connecting rod assembly 51 can be folded, and when the walk-behind mower 500 is in the storage state, the switch box 521 is basically perpendicular to the ground, and the grass collecting basket 55 is hung with the opening facing upward. The connecting rod assembly 51 includes two first rods 511 connected to the body 50 and a second rod 512 connecting the two first rods 511, and the operating device 52 is disposed on the second rod 512. When the walk-behind mower 500 is working, the connecting rod assembly 51 is in an extended state, and the second rod 512 is located on the rear side of the walk-behind mower 500 so that the user can push the walk-behind mower 500 to work. After the walk-behind mower 500 is used, the connecting rod assembly 51 is folded to the storage state so that the storage space occupied by the walk-behind mower 500 can be reduced. When the walk-behind mower 500 is in the storage state, the opening of the hung grass collecting basket 55 faces upward so that the grass collecting basket 55 can be used to hold items.
[0277] As shown in FIGS. 66 and 67, in some examples, the switch box 521 includes an upper housing 52111 and a lower housing 52112 that mate with each other, and a mounting portion 531 is formed on the lower housing 52112 or the upper housing 52111. By designing the switch box 521 as a structure in which the upper housing 52111 and the lower housing 52112 are mounted through snap-fitting, it is convenient to arrange electronic components in the cavity formed by the snap-fitting of the upper housing 52111 and the lower housing 52112. The upper housing 52111 and the lower housing 52112 can protect the electronic components and prevent dust and water vapor from entering and affecting the electronic components.
[0278] As shown in FIG. 72, in some examples, multiple protrusions 531 are disposed on the surface of the housing 5211, and each dimension of each protrusion 531 is less than or equal to 10 cm. Each dimension of each protrusion 531 may be 1 cm, 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 3 cm, 3.5 cm, or the like, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. The dimension of the protrusion 531 is limited to prevent the protrusion 531 from being too large. The multiple protrusions 531 may be designed to be of the same dimensions to ensure overall consistency, or the protrusions 531 may be designed to have different dimensions according to different hung items, thereby flexibly satisfying the usage requirements of users.
[0279] In some examples, the mounting assembly 53 includes a recess, and the recess is capable of matching a snap. By providing the recess, a fixed point that mates with the snap is formed. When the item is subsequently hung, the item is connected to the snap, and then the snap mates with the recess. By adopting the preceding method, the attachment such as the user's item can be effectively hung. The protrusion and the recess may be collectively referred to as the mounting portion.
[0280] In some examples, the attachment includes or is connected to the snap. In this manner, the attachment can be hung on the housing 5211 through the engagement of the snap with the recess.
[0281] In some examples, the attachment is a storage box, and the load-bearing capacity of the storage box is less than or equal to 10 kg. The load-bearing capacity of the storage box may be 1 kg, 1.5 kg, 2 kg, 2.5 kg, 3 kg, 3.5 kg, or the like. The storage box is fixed on the housing 5211 by using the recess and the snap so that the storage box has a certain storage space into which the user can place items such as water cups, mobile phones, and clothes.
[0282] When the user operates the walk-behind mower, to improve operational comfort and reduce operating fatigue, as shown in FIGS. 66 to 80, the present application provides a walk-behind mower. The walk-behind mower 500 includes a body 50 and an operating device 52. The operating device 52 includes a switch box 521, a first trigger 522, and a second trigger 523.
[0283] The body 50 includes a traveling assembly 503 and a cutting assembly 501. The operating device 52 is electrically connected to the body 50 to allow the user to operate the walk-behind mower 500 on the rear side of the walk-behind mower 500. Electronic components for controlling the working states of the cutting assembly 501 and the traveling assembly 503 are provided in the switch box 521. The first trigger 522 is configured to be operated by the user to rotate about a first pivot axis 526. The second trigger 523 is configured to be operated by the user to rotate about a second pivot axis 527. The second pivot axis 527 is basically parallel to the first pivot axis 526, or the second pivot axis 527 may coincide with the first pivot axis 526. The first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are configured to control the cutting assembly 501 and the traveling assembly 503, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 70 and 72, at least one of the first trigger 522 or the second trigger 523 is completely disposed on a side of a center plane 5213 of the switch box 521, and the length L4 of the grip of each of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is greater than or equal to 5 cm. The length L4 of the grip of each of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 may be 5.5 cm, 6 cm, 6.5 cm, 7 cm, 7.5 cm, 8 cm, or the like. The length L4 of the grip of each of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 is designed according to the model of the walk-behind mower 500 and the target user group, and no further restrictions are imposed herein.
[0284] When the user operates the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523, since the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are relatively long, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 may be pressed with fingers for easy operation or may be held with the hand to reduce operating fatigue and improve operational comfort during long-term operation.
[0285] As shown in FIG. 66, in some examples, the operating device 52 includes two second triggers 523, and the two second triggers 523 are located on the left and right sides of the center plane 5213 of the switch box 521, respectively. By using two second triggers 523 with the same function, it is convenient for the user to operate the second trigger 523 with the left hand or the right hand, thereby being suitable for users with different hand habits. Furthermore, the two second triggers 523 are not connected to each other. Compared with an integrated second trigger, materials can be saved and the interference between the second triggers 523 and the switch box 521 can be avoided. In other examples, the two second triggers 523 may be integrated with different functions, thereby further enriching the control of the walk-behind mower 500.
[0286] As shown in FIG. 72, in some examples, the length L3 of the second trigger 523 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is less than or equal to 10 cm. The length L3 of the second trigger 523 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 may be 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, or 10 cm. By limiting the length of the second trigger 523, while it is ensured that the second trigger 523 is convenient for the user to operate or hold with fingers, the second trigger 523 is prevented from being too long, causing inconvenience in operation and wasting materials.
[0287] As shown in FIG. 72, in some examples, the operating device 52 further includes a speed control knob 525 disposed between the two second triggers 523. By providing the speed control knob 525, the speed control knob 525 can adjust the rotational speed of the cutting assembly 501, thereby adapting to different grasslands and the traveling speeds of different users. The speed control knob 525 may be designed with multiple gears, and the different rotational speeds of the cutting assembly 501 are controlled by adjusting the angle of the speed control knob 525. The preceding manner is adopted to ensure the flexibility of speed regulation.
[0288] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the length L2 of the first trigger 522 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 is greater than or equal to 30 cm, and the first trigger 522 is symmetrical about the center plane 5213. The length L2 of the first trigger 522 in the lateral direction of the walk-behind mower 500 may be 31 cm, 32 cm, 33 cm, 34 cm, 35 cm, or the like, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. By designing the first trigger 522 as an integrated structure which is relatively long, it is convenient for the user to simultaneously hold and operate the first trigger 522 with both hands while pushing the walk-behind mower 500 to work. In an example, the first trigger 522 is used for controlling the operation of the cutting assembly 501, so the user needs to continue operating the first trigger 522 until the operation is completed. The first trigger 522 is operated by both hands in the preceding manner, thereby reducing operating fatigue. In some examples, the functions and/or structural designs of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 may be interchanged.
[0289] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the switch box 521 is T-shaped and includes a cross beam 5212, and the first trigger 522 or the second trigger 523 is pivotally mounted to the cross beam 5212. Since the cross beam 5212 is relatively long, it is convenient to arrange the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 on the cross beam 5212.
[0290] As shown in FIG. 66, in some examples, when each of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 is at the maximum angle of rotation, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 can be held by the user with one hand at the same time. When the user operates the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 at the same time, the user only needs to rotate the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 to the maximum angle, and then the user can hold the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 with one hand at the same time.
[0291] As shown in FIG. 69, in some examples, the walk-behind mower 500 includes a connecting rod assembly 51, and the connecting rod assembly 51 includes two first rods 511 connected to the body 50 and a second rod 512 connecting the two first rods 511. The connecting rod assembly 51 is connected to the body 50 so that through the connecting rod assembly 51, the user can push the walk-behind mower 500 to move and control the motion direction.
[0292] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the maximum angles of rotation of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are both limited by the second rod 512. When the user operates the walk-behind mower 500, the user usually places the hands on the second rod 512 to push the walk-behind mower 500 to move. When the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 need to be operated at the same time, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 need to be rotated until the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are in contact with the second rod 512. In this manner, it is convenient for the user to control the walk-behind mower 500.
[0293] As shown in FIG. 66, in some examples, the first trigger 522 and/or the second trigger 523 are paddles. The first trigger 522 and/or the second trigger 523 are designed as paddles so that a lightweight design of the first trigger 522 and/or the second trigger 523 can be achieved, and the paddles can effectively fit the second rod 512, making it easier for the user to hold the paddles.
[0294] As shown in FIGS. 66 to 74, the present application further provides a walk-behind mower 500, and the walk-behind mower 500 includes a body 50, a connecting rod assembly 51, and an operating device 52.
[0295] The body 50 includes a traveling assembly 503 and a cutting assembly 501. The connecting rod assembly 51 includes two first rods 511 connected to the body 50 and a second rod 512 connecting the two first rods 511. The operating device 52 is electrically connected to the body 50 to allow the user to operate the walk-behind mower 500 on the rear side of the walk-behind mower 500. The operating device 52 includes a switch box 521, a first trigger 522, and a second trigger 523. The switch box 521 is mounted to the connecting rod assembly 51. Electronic components for controlling the working states of the cutting assembly 501 and the traveling assembly 503 are provided in the switch box 521. The first trigger 522 is configured to be operated by the user to rotate about a first pivot axis 526. The second trigger 523 is configured to be operated by the user to rotate about a second pivot axis 527. The second pivot axis 527 is basically parallel to the first pivot axis 526, or the second pivot axis 527 may coincide with the first pivot axis 526. The first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are configured to control the cutting assembly 501 and the traveling assembly 503, respectively. At least one of the first trigger 522 or the second trigger 523 is completely disposed on a side of a center plane 5213 of the switch box 521, and the maximum angles of rotation of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are both limited by the second rod 512.
[0296] When the user operates the walk-behind mower 500, the user's hands act on the second rod 512. At this time, the user may press the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 with fingers for easy operation, or the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 may be rotated until the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are in contact with the second rod 512 and held by the hand, thereby reducing operating fatigue and improving operational comfort.
[0297] In some examples, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 have opposite directions of rotation. The first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are located on two sides of the second rod 512. When the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are operated, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 rotate toward each other and stop at the second rod 512 so that the user can hold the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 conveniently.
[0298] In some examples, the maximum angles of rotation of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are each less than or equal to 90. The maximum angles of rotation of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 may each be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90, and no further restrictions are imposed herein. By limiting the maximum angles of rotation of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523, it is convenient for the user to operate the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523.
[0299] As shown in FIGS. 66 and 70, in some examples, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 are disposed on two sides of the plane where the switch box 521 is located, respectively. In this manner, when the user operates the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523, the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 do not affect each other so that the user can control the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 separately or simultaneously.
[0300] As shown in FIG. 70, in some examples, the curvature of at least one of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 is similar to the curvature of at least part of the second rod 512. The curvature refers to that at least one of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 is in a curved state along the lateral direction, or at least one of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 has an arc-shaped surface facing the second rod. In this manner, when the user operates the trigger having a curvature similar to that of the second rod 512, the trigger can fit the second rod 512 so that the user can hold the trigger conveniently.
[0301] In some examples, at least one of the first trigger 522 and the second trigger 523 is made of plastic. By using plastic materials, weight can be reduced to achieve a lightweight design. Moreover, plastic has good anti-aging properties and can avoid weathering during long-term outdoor use.
[0302] As shown in FIGS. 75 and 77, in some examples, the first rod 511 of the connecting rod assembly 51 is rotatably connected to the body 50, and the connecting rod assembly 51 has a working position and a storage position relative to the body 50. When the connecting rod assembly 51 is at the working position, the second rod 512 is located at the rear of the body 50 so that through the second rod 512, the user can push the walk-behind mower 500 to work. When the connecting rod assembly 51 is at the storage position, the second rod 512 is located at the head of the body 50 so that the connecting rod assembly 51 is folded, thereby reducing the occupied storage space.
[0303] As shown in FIGS. 75 to 78, in some examples, a safety switch 54 is disposed on the body 50, and a switch trigger 5111 is disposed on the connecting rod assembly 51. When the connecting rod assembly 51 is at the working position, the safety switch 54 is not triggered, and the body 50 can work normally. When the connecting rod assembly 51 is at the storage position in the folded state, the switch trigger 5111 triggers the safety switch 54 so that the body 50 cannot be started. In this manner, it can be ensured that when the walk-behind mower 500 is at the storage position in the folded state, the body 50 cannot work, thereby ensuring safety.
[0304] As shown in FIGS. 75 to 78, in some examples, the safety switch 54 is a contact sensor, a lever 541 is rotatably disposed on the body 50, and an elastic member 542 is disposed between the lever 541 and the body 50. As shown in FIGS. 75 and 76, when the connecting rod assembly 51 is at the storage position in the folded state, the switch trigger 5111 presses the lever 541, and the lever 541 rotates to trigger the safety switch 54, thereby making the body 50 unable to start. As shown in FIGS. 77 and 78, when the connecting rod assembly 51 switches from the storage position to the working position, the elastic member 542 pushes the lever 541 to reset the lever 541, the safety switch 54 is released from triggering, and the body 50 can work normally.
[0305] As shown in FIG. 71, in some examples, the switch trigger 5111 is mounted on the first rod 511, the switch trigger 5111 has a snap groove, and the wire harness 524 of the walk-behind mower 500 is fixed on the first rod 511 through the snap groove. By providing the snap groove on the switch trigger 5111 to serve as a wire clip, it is convenient to fix the wire harness 524.
[0306] As shown in FIGS. 79 and 80, in some examples, a battery compartment assembly 502 of the walk-behind mower 500 is mounted independently and fixedly connected to the base plate of the walk-behind mower 500 from top to bottom by multiple screws 5021. The battery compartment assembly 502 may be fixed by tightening the screws 5021 from the front, without having to flip the body 50 over to fix the battery compartment assembly 502 from the bottom of the base plate. Therefore, production efficiency can be improved, manufacturing costs can be saved, product costs can be reduced, and the maintenance convenience of the battery compartment assembly 502 can be improved.
[0307] In some examples, the battery compartment assembly 502 is electrically connected to the switch box 521 via the wire harness 524. By moving the switch box 521 from the body 50 to the connecting rod assembly 51, a space for accommodating two battery compartments or a storage compartment can be provided.
[0308] It is to be noted that the walk-behind working machine involved in the present application may be the walk-behind mower or the snow thrower or may be another push tool, such as a small irrigation machine, a sprinkler, a push blower, or any type of garden and agricultural power tool.
[0309] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the preceding examples do not limit the present application in any form, and all technical solutions obtained through equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations fall within the scope of the present application.
