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.
- 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.

Thecontrol module 5 performs information exchange with thewireless communication module 7, and theoperating device 6 sends signals to thewireless communication module 7. Theenergy device 4 powers thecontrol module 5, and theenergy device 4 can also power thewireless communication module 7. When theenergy device 4 is mounted on the snow thrower but the entire machine is not powered on, thecontrol module 5 is not powered by theenergy device 4, and the snow thrower is in a standby state. That is to say, when the snow thrower is in the standby state, theenergy device 4 is connected to the snow thrower but does not power parts of the snow thrower excluding thewireless communication module 7. Only thewireless 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, theenergy device 4 powers only thewireless communication module 7 to maintain the normal operation of thewireless communication module 7. In this case, thewireless communication module 7 has low energy consumption and can receive, at any time, a signal sent by the operatingdevice 6. After receiving the signal sent by the operatingdevice 6, thewireless communication module 7 wakes up theenergy device 4 through thecontrol module 5 so that the parts of the snow thrower excluding thewireless communication module 7 are powered on, thereby achieving convenience, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness. Thecontrol module 5 includes a step-down module. The step-down module is disposed on thePCB 814. Theenergy device 4 powers at least part of thewireless communication module 7 through the step-down module.

FIG. 8 , thecontrol module 5 includes aswitchboard 12 and abattery management system 13. The user operates theoperating device 6 and sends the signal to thewireless communication module 7 remotely. After receiving the signal sent by the operatingdevice 6, thewireless communication module 7 sends a signal to theswitchboard 12. Theswitchboard 12 grounds an enable pin of thebattery management system 13 through an EIA-485 communication protocol or another communication protocol. Thebattery management system 13 is activated and the snow thrower is powered. Thecontrol 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. - In this example, a control process for heating the
handle 3 is described below. The user operates theoperating device 6 and sends the signal to thewireless communication module 7. Thewireless communication module 7 sends the signal to theswitchboard 12. Theswitchboard 12 activates thebattery management system 13, and thebattery management system 13 makes thePCB 814 powered on. ThePCB 814 converts a large voltage provided by theenergy device 4 into a small voltage through the step-down module and increases the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10. The snow thrower includes afirst temperature sensor 14. Thefirst temperature sensor 14 is disposed on theswitchboard 12. Thefirst 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, thePCB 814 controls thetemperature adjustment device 10 heated with relatively large heating power. When the temperature is relatively high, thePCB 814 makes thetemperature 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. Thecontrol module 5 includes the temperature sensor for detecting the temperature, thereby improving heating efficiency and saving energy. - The snow thrower includes a
temperature switch 15. Thetemperature switch 15 is disposed in a circuit of thetemperature adjustment device 10. Thetemperature switch 15 detects the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 and controls, according to the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10, the circuit to be connected or disconnected. When the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than a preset temperature, thetemperature switch 15 turns off. When the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 50 °C, thetemperature switch 15 turns off, and thetemperature 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 thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 40 °C, thetemperature switch 15 turns off, and thetemperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, when the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 30 °C, thetemperature switch 15 turns off, and thetemperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, when the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 60 °C, thetemperature switch 15 turns off, and thetemperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, when the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 70 °C, thetemperature switch 15 turns off, and thetemperature adjustment device 10 is no longer heated. In some examples, thetemperature switch 15 detects the temperature of thehandle 3. - In some examples, a second temperature sensor is disposed near the
temperature adjustment device 10. The second temperature sensor is connected to theswitchboard 12 or thePCB 814 and detects the temperature of thetemperature adjustment device 10. When the second temperature sensor detects that the temperature near thetemperature adjustment device 10 is higher than 50 °C, thePCB 814 stops the power supply to thetemperature adjustment device 10. A maximum heating temperature is set for thetemperature adjustment device 10 through thetemperature switch 15 or the second temperature sensor, thereby improving safety and preventing the user from being scalded. - 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.
