DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] 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.
[0028] 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.
[0029] 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.
[0030] 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.
[0031] 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.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] In this application, the terms "controller", "processor", "central processor", "CPU"
and "MCU" are interchangeable. Where a unit "controller", "processor", "central processing",
"CPU", or "MCU" is used to perform a specific function, the specific function may
be implemented by a single aforementioned unit or a plurality of the aforementioned
unit.
[0035] In this application, the term "device", "module" or "unit" may be implemented in
the form of hardware or software to achieve specific functions.
[0036] In this application, the terms "computing", "judging", "controlling", "determining",
"recognizing" and the like refer to the operations and processes of a computer system
or similar electronic computing device (e.g., controller, processor, etc.).
[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a snow thrower includes a body 1, a handle 3, an energy
device 4, a control module 5, and an operating device 6.
[0038] The body 1 includes a body housing 11 and a working assembly 2. The working assembly
2 includes an auger 22 and a snow sweeping motor (not shown in the figures) that drives
the auger 22. The snow sweeping motor is accommodated in the body housing 11 of the
snow thrower. The auger 22 is a functional component of the snow thrower and used
for sweeping snow on the ground. The working assembly 2 further includes a rotating
shaft 21, and two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably connected to the body
housing 11 separately through connectors. The auger 22 is mounted on the rotating
shaft 21, and the snow sweeping motor drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate and thus
drives the auger 22 to rotate to sweep the snow on the ground. A connector may be
a bearing, an inner ring of the bearing is connected to the rotating shaft 21, and
an outer ring of the bearing is connected to the body housing 11. The handle 3 is
for a user to hold and connected to the body 1. In a traveling direction of the snow
thrower, the handle 3 is disposed behind the body 1, and the handle 3 is held to control
the traveling direction of the snow thrower.
[0039] The energy device 4 provides the snow thrower with electrical energy. In some examples,
the energy device 4 includes at least one battery pack, and the battery pack includes
lithium cells disposed inside a housing of the battery pack and for storing electrical
energy. The body housing 11 is formed with a battery compartment, and at least part
of the battery pack is mounted in the battery compartment.
[0040] The control module 5 has a power-on state for being powered by the energy device
4 and is configured to control at least the operation of a walking motor and the snow
sweeping motor of the snow thrower. The control module 5 includes a single-chip microcomputer
or a microcontroller unit (MCU). In some examples, the single-chip microcomputer is
an Advanced reduced instruction set computer (RISC) Machine (ARM) chip, and the MCU
is a general-purpose digital signal processor (DSP) chip. In this example, the control
module 5 is disposed on the handle 3. In some examples, the control module 5 is disposed
on the body 1.
[0041] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the operating device 6 is configured to be operated by
the user to send a temperature control signal to a wireless communication module 7
when separated from the snow thrower, and the wireless communication module 7 is configured
to transmit the temperature control signal to the control module 5. The control module
5 is switched to the power-on state according to the temperature control signal, and
the control module 5 in the power-on state controls the temperature of at least part
of the snow thrower. The operating device 6 sends the temperature control signal to
the wireless communication module 7, the wireless communication module 7 transmits
the temperature control signal to the control module 5, and the control module 5 is
switchable to the power-on state according to the temperature control signal and controls
the temperature of at least part of the snow thrower so that a to-be-heated part of
the snow thrower is pre-heated remotely, and the user does not need to wait outdoors,
thereby reducing a time for which the user works outdoors and facilitating use. The
temperature control signal may be directly forwarded by the wireless communication
module 7 to the control module 5 or may be sent to the control module 5 after being
processed by the wireless communication module 7, which is not limited here as long
as the temperature control signal enables the user to remotely control the temperature
of part of the snow thrower to increase or decrease. In some examples, the operating
device 6 may be disposed on the snow thrower or separated from the snow thrower. The
user may control the temperature of at least part of the snow thrower at a short distance
and/or at a long distance through the operating device 6.
[0042] In some examples, the snow thrower further includes a visual display device 8 and
a button assembly 9, where the visual display device 8 and the button assembly 9 are
disposed on the body 1 or the handle 3. The visual display device 8 is configured
to display some information about a working state of the snow thrower, making it easier
for the user to learn the working state of the snow thrower in time. The button assembly
9 includes functional operating members such as a power switch, a self-moving trigger,
and a start-up trigger.
[0043] When the control module 5 is in the power-on state, the temperature of one or more
of the visual display device 8, the button assembly 9, the handle 3, and the working
assembly 2 is controlled through the operating device 6, so as to prevent the above
parts from freezing that affects the normal operation of the snow thrower. Moreover,
the pre-heating of the above parts can be remotely controlled through the operating
device 6, and the user does not need to wait outdoors, thereby shortening the time
for which the user works outdoors.
[0044] In some other examples, the heating is not limited to the visual display device 8,
the button assembly 9, the handle 3, and the working assembly 2 of the snow thrower,
and other parts of the snow thrower that are likely to freeze or fog may also be heated,
which is not specifically limited here.
[0045] The snow thrower further includes a temperature adjustment device 10, the temperature
adjustment device 10 is separately disposed on one or more of at least part of the
visual display device 8, at least part of the button assembly 9, at least part of
the handle 3, and at least part of the working assembly 2, and the control module
5 is configured to control the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10.
After the operating device 6 sends the temperature control signal to the wireless
communication module 7, the wireless communication module 7 transmits the temperature
control signal to the control module 5, and the control module 5 controls the temperature
of the temperature adjustment device 10 to be the temperature set by the user through
the operating device 6. In this manner, the user adjusts the temperature of at least
part of the snow thrower by adjusting the temperature of the temperature adjustment
device 10. The temperature adjustment device 10 may be a heating wire, or the temperature
may be adjusted in one or more manners of electromagnetic heating, electric resistance
heating, infrared light heating, and airstream flowing, which is not specifically
limited here. In this example, the temperature adjustment device 10 is the heating
wire, and the heating wire is wound round part of the handle 3.
[0046] In some examples, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the visual display device 8 includes
a display screen 81 configured to display information. The temperature of at least
part of the visual display device 8 is adjustable, that is, the preceding temperature
adjustment device 10 may be added on the outer side or the inner side of the visual
display device 8 to heat the visual display device 8, so as to prevent the visual
display device 8 from lagging in a cold environment and effectively prevent the display
screen 81 from fogging that affects the viewing of information by the user. In this
example, the visual display device 8 is disposed on the handle. In some examples,
the visual display device 8 is disposed on the body 1.
[0047] The display screen 81 includes a display housing 811, a window is disposed on a side
of the display housing 811, and a light-transmissive board 812 is disposed at the
window. The light-transmissive board 812 prevents water and dust from entering the
display housing 811 and is basically transparent so that the user can observe, through
the light-transmissive board 812, data and images displayed on the display screen
81.
[0048] The control module 5 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) 814. A data board 813
and the PCB 814 are disposed in the display housing 811. The temperature adjustment
device 10 is further disposed in the display housing 811. The temperature adjustment
device 10 can increase the temperature in the display housing 811 and heat the data
board 813, the PCB 814, and the light-transmissive board 812, so as to prevent the
light-transmissive board 812 from fogging that affects the viewing of the display
information by the user and prevent the display screen 81 from lagging. In some examples,
the PCB 814 may be disposed at other positions.
[0049] In some examples, as shown in FIG. 7, the temperature of at least part of the working
assembly 2 is adjustable, so as to prevent the working assembly 2 from freezing in
the cold environment, which affects the normal use of the snow thrower.
[0050] The rotating shaft 21 is connected to the body housing 11 and the auger 22. The temperature
of at least part of the rotating shaft 21 is adjustable, so as to prevent the rotating
shaft 21 from freezing that affects the normal operation of the auger 22. The two
ends of the rotating shaft 21 are connected to the body housing 11 separately through
the connectors. To ensure that the rotating shaft 21 can rotate normally at a low
temperature, the temperature of the connector is configured to be adjustable. In some
examples, the temperature adjustment device 10 is disposed on the connector to adjust
the temperature of the connector. In some examples, the connector is the bearing,
and the temperature adjustment device 10 is disposed on the bearing.
[0051] The temperature of at least part of the auger 22 is adjustable. After use of the
snow thrower, snow attached to the auger 22 is prevented from freezing in the cold
environment, which affects the next use. In some examples, the temperature adjustment
device 10 is disposed on a part of the auger 22 where snow is easily accumulated,
so as to heat the snow on the auger 22 and prevent freezing.
[0052] The preceding operating device 6 sends the control signal to the control module 5
through the wireless communication module 7. In some examples, still referring to
FIG. 2, the wireless communication module 7 includes a Wi-Fi unit, and the operating
device 6 sends the temperature control signal to the control module 5 through the
Wi-Fi unit, thereby implementing a wireless communication connection between the operating
device 6 and the control module 5.
[0053] Referring to FIG. 3, the wireless communication module 7 includes a Bluetooth unit,
and the operating device 6 sends the temperature control signal to the control module
5 through the Bluetooth unit, so as to implement a wireless communication connection
between the operating device 6 and the control module 5.
[0054] In some other examples, the wireless communication module 7 includes the Wi-Fi unit
and the Bluetooth unit, and the operating device 6 may send the temperature control
signal to the control module 5 through any one of the Wi-Fi unit and the Bluetooth
unit, so as to increase selectivity of a wireless connection between the operating
device 6 and the control module 5.
[0055] The operating device 6 sends the temperature control signal to the control module
5 through the wireless communication module 7. In some other examples, the operating
device 6 may send, through the wireless communication module 7 and to the control
module 5, control signals for controlling components such as the snow sweeping motor
and the walking motor or a control signal for adjusting a working mode of the snow
thrower.
[0056] The operating device 6 may be a remote control or a smart device such as a mobile
phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, or a computer. The operating device 6 may
be mounted on the body 1 of the snow thrower. The operating device 6 has a matching
key. Pressing the matching key may enable pairing and connection with the control
module 5 of the snow thrower so that the corresponding operation control is performed
on the snow thrower.
[0057] Referring to FIG. 4, the preceding control module 5 may control the temperature adjustment
device 10 to heat a component provided with the temperature adjustment device 10,
such as the handle 3, the visual display device 8, and the working assembly 2. The
control module 5 performs information exchange with the wireless communication module
7, and the operating device 6 sends signals to the wireless communication module 7.
The energy device 4 powers the control module 5, and the energy device 4 can also
power the wireless communication module 7. When the energy device 4 is mounted on
the snow thrower but the entire machine is not powered on, the control module 5 is
not powered by the energy device 4, and the snow thrower is in a standby state. That
is to say, when the snow thrower is in the standby state, the energy device 4 is connected
to the snow thrower but does not power parts of the snow thrower excluding the wireless
communication module 7. Only the wireless communication module 7 is always in a power-on
state to receive an instruction sent by the user, thereby reducing energy consumption.
In the standby state, the energy device 4 powers only the wireless communication module
7 to maintain the normal operation of the wireless communication module 7. In this
case, the wireless communication module 7 has low energy consumption and can receive,
at any time, a signal sent by the operating device 6. After receiving the signal sent
by the operating device 6, the wireless communication module 7 wakes up the energy
device 4 through the control module 5 so that the parts of the snow thrower excluding
the wireless communication module 7 are powered on, thereby achieving convenience,
low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness. The control module 5 includes
a step-down module. The step-down module is disposed on the PCB 814. The energy device
4 powers at least part of the wireless communication module 7 through the step-down
module. The step-down module may reduce a voltage provided by the energy device 4
to a voltage required by the wireless communication module 7. In some examples, the
step-down module reduces a voltage of 60 V, 56 V, 48 V, or 40 V, etc. to 5 V, 3.3
V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V, etc.
[0058] In some examples, the wireless communication module 7 may be powered by a separate
second energy device such as a button cell or a dry cell so that the wireless communication
module 7 is always in the power-on state.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 8, the control module 5 includes a switchboard 12 and a battery
management system 13. The user operates the operating device 6 and sends the signal
to the wireless communication module 7 remotely. After receiving the signal sent by
the operating device 6, the wireless communication module 7 sends a signal to the
switchboard 12. The switchboard 12 grounds an enable pin of the battery management
system 13 through an EIA-485 communication protocol or another communication protocol.
The battery management system 13 is activated and the snow thrower is powered. The
control module 5 controls the temperature of part of the snow thrower to change. In
this manner, the temperature of part of the snow thrower is adjusted.
[0060] In this example, a control process for heating the handle 3 is described below. The
user operates the operating device 6 and sends the signal to the wireless communication
module 7. The wireless communication module 7 sends the signal to the switchboard
12. The switchboard 12 activates the battery management system 13, and the battery
management system 13 makes the PCB 814 powered on. The PCB 814 converts a large voltage
provided by the energy device 4 into a small voltage through the step-down module
and increases the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10. The snow thrower
includes a first temperature sensor 14. The first temperature sensor 14 is disposed
on the switchboard 12. The first temperature sensor 14 detects an ambient temperature,
and the control signal is sent to the PCB according to the detected ambient temperature.
When the temperature is relatively low, the PCB 814 controls the temperature adjustment
device 10 heated with relatively large heating power. When the temperature is relatively
high, the PCB 814 makes the temperature adjustment device 10 heated with relatively
small heating power. In this example, the heating power includes P1, P2, P3, and P4,
where P1 > P2 > P3 > P4. When the temperature is lower than -10 °C, the heating power
is P1. When the temperature is higher than or equal to -10 °C and lower than 0 °C,
the heating power is P2. When the temperature is higher than or equal to 0 °C and
lower than 15 °C, the heating power is P3. When the temperature is higher than or
equal to 15 °C, the heating power is P4. The control module 5 includes the temperature
sensor for detecting the temperature, thereby improving heating efficiency and saving
energy.
[0061] The snow thrower includes a temperature switch 15. The temperature switch 15 is disposed
in a circuit of the temperature adjustment device 10. The temperature switch 15 detects
the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10 and controls, according to
the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10, the circuit to be connected
or disconnected. When the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10 is higher
than a preset temperature, the temperature switch 15 turns off. When the temperature
of the temperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 50 °C, the temperature switch
15 turns off, and the temperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some
examples, the preset temperature is higher than or equal to 30 °C and lower than or
equal to 70 °C. When the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10 is higher
than 40 °C, the temperature switch 15 turns off, and the temperature adjustment device
10 is no longer heated. In some examples, when the temperature of the temperature
adjustment device 10 is higher than 30 °C, the temperature switch 15 turns off, and
the temperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, when the
temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 60 °C, the temperature
switch 15 turns off, and the temperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated.
In some examples, when the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10 is
higher than 70 °C, the temperature switch 15 turns off, and the temperature adjustment
device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, the temperature switch 15 detects
the temperature of the handle 3.
[0062] In some examples, a second temperature sensor is disposed near the temperature adjustment
device 10. The second temperature sensor is connected to the switchboard 12 or the
PCB 814 and detects the temperature of the temperature adjustment device 10. When
the second temperature sensor detects that the temperature near the temperature adjustment
device 10 is higher than 50 °C, the PCB 814 stops the power supply to the temperature
adjustment device 10. A maximum heating temperature is set for the temperature adjustment
device 10 through the temperature switch 15 or the second temperature sensor, thereby
improving safety and preventing the user from being scalded.

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.
