Riding mowing device
A riding mowing device includes a keyless start system which allows a user to start the riding mowing device without a key. The keyless start system includes an authentication module and a controller. The authentication module is configured to authenticate the validity of a smart key of the user. The controller is electrically connected to at least the power supply assembly, where the controller controls the riding mowing device to switch from a locked mode to an unlocked mode after the validity authentication of the smart key succeeds. In the locked mode, the riding mowing device cannot walk or perform a mowing function, and in the unlocked mode, the riding mowing device can walk or perform the mowing function.
1 . A riding mowing device, comprising:
a frame;
a cutting assembly comprising a deck and a mowing element at least partially accommodated in the deck;
a walking assembly used for driving the riding mowing device to walk;
a power supply assembly used for supplying power to at least the cutting assembly and the walking assembly and mounted to the frame; and
a keyless start system comprising an authentication module configured to authenticate validity of a smart key of a user, a broadcast module capable of broadcasting a predetermined signal, a broadcast switch module configured to enable and disable the broadcast module, and a controller electrically connected to the power supply assembly,
wherein the riding mowing device is capable of being controlled to switch from a locked mode to an unlocked mode after the smart key establishes a communication connection to the keyless start system, the keyless start system is configured to authenticate, through the authentication module, validity of a smart key entering a radiation region of the predetermined signal and control, through the controller, the riding mowing device to switch from the locked mode to the unlocked mode after the validity authentication of the smart key succeeds, and
wherein the controller controls the riding mowing device to switch from the locked mode to the unlocked mode after the validity authentication of the smart key succeeds, in the locked mode the controller prohibits the cutting assembly and/or the walking assembly from switching to a working state, and in the unlocked mode the controller allows the cutting assembly and/or the walking assembly to switch to the working state.
2 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein in the unlocked mode the controller is capable of controlling the cutting assembly and/or the walking assembly to be in the working state or a braking state, in the working state the cutting assembly performs cutting work and/or the walking assembly drives the riding mowing device to walk, and in the braking state the cutting assembly does not perform the cutting work and the walking assembly does not drive the riding mowing device to walk.
3 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein in the locked mode the controller prohibits the power supply assembly from supplying the power to the cutting assembly and/or the walking assembly and in the unlocked mode the controller allows the power supply assembly to supply the power to the cutting assembly and/or the walking assembly.
4 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the broadcast switch module is configured to, when the riding mowing device is in the unlocked mode, control the broadcast module to stop broadcasting the predetermined signal.
5 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , comprising a seat, wherein the broadcast switch module comprises a pressure sensing unit mounted to the seat, and the broadcast switch module is configured to, when the riding mowing device is in the locked mode and the pressure sensing unit detects that the seat bears pressure, control the broadcast module to begin broadcasting the predetermined signal.
6 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart key comprises a monitoring module configured to monitor the predetermined signal and a determination module configured to, when the predetermined signal is monitored by the monitoring module, determine that the smart key enters the radiation region, the predetermined signal is a signal broadcast by the riding mowing device in the radiation region, and the smart key entering the radiation region is used by the riding mowing device to control, based on a result of the validity authentication of the smart key, the riding mowing device to switch from the locked mode to the unlocked mode.
7 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation region comprises a first region and a second region, a radial distance of the first region relative to the riding mowing device is greater than a radial distance of the second region relative to the riding mowing device, the keyless start system further comprises a connection module configured to be connected to the smart key, the connection module is pre-connected or connected to the smart key in the first region, and the authentication module performs identity verification on the smart key in the second region.
8 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart key is a digital key using Bluetooth or near-field communication (NFC) as a communication medium.
9 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart key is a low-frequency key using an electromagnetic wave as a communication medium.
10 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart key is a mobile terminal of the user and the mobile terminal establishes the communication connection to the keyless start system through wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), NFC, or Bluetooth.
11 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the riding mowing device sends an alarm signal after the validity authentication of the smart key fails a plurality of times.
12 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the riding mowing device to be in the locked mode within a preset time after the validity authentication of the smart key fails a plurality of times.
13 . The riding mowing device according to claim 1 , wherein the smart key comprises an operation button and the operation button is capable of transmitting a remote control signal to the keyless start system so as to control the riding mowing device to work.
14 . The riding mowing device according to claim 13 , wherein the remote control signal comprises signals for controlling the power supply assembly, the walking assembly, and the cutting assembly.
