Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lawn mowers, and in particular to a wheel-foot composite all-terrain lawn mower and an active obstacle crossing control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lawn mowers are mechanical equipment often used in home lawn maintenance, golf course maintenance, mountain farm operations, etc.
[0003] Common lawn mowers currently include wheeled and crawler types. Wheeled lawn mowers have the advantages of strong straight-line driving stability and low manufacturing cost, but this type of lawn mower is mainly suitable for flat terrain. If it encounters stones, gullies, steep slopes, etc. during mowing, it is easy to get stuck. In addition, its chassis height is difficult to adjust and cannot adapt to the diverse requirements of different vegetation for operating height. Crawler lawn mowers have improved passability compared to wheeled lawn mowers, but there are problems such as reduced maneuverability and excessive power loss.
[0004] Although there is an improved solution of using adjustable cutter height in the prior art, the adjustment of the cutter is limited by the structure of the actuator, and the problem of the entire machine overcoming obstacles when the lawn mower operates in different terrains cannot be solved. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a wheel-foot compound all-terrain lawn mower and an active obstacle-crossing control method thereof, so as to solve the problem of the entire lawn mower overcoming obstacles when operating in different terrains.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention discloses a wheel-foot compound all-terrain lawn mower, comprising a frame, a lawn mower device mounted on the frame, four bionic feet mounted on the frame, the bionic foot comprising a thigh, a first end of the thigh being hinged on the frame, a calf being hinged on the second end of the thigh, a walking wheel being rotatably mounted on the end of the calf away from the thigh, a thigh driving device for driving the thigh to swing is provided between the frame and the thigh, a calf driving device for driving the calf to swing is provided between the thigh and the calf, and a walking wheel driving device for driving the walking wheel to rotate is installed on the calf. After adopting the above-mentioned structure, the four walking wheels and the walking wheel driving device constitute a wheeled mobile module, so that the wheel-foot compound all-terrain lawn mower has a four-wheel walking mode, and the high-speed walking of the lawn mower is achieved by controlling the rotation of the walking wheels, and the lawn mower is four-wheel driven, the torque of each walking wheel is adjustable, and the steering of the lawn mower is achieved by controlling the differential rotation of the four walking wheels. Four bionic feet form a quadruped auxiliary module, which enables the lawn mower to have a quadruped walking mode. The four bionic feet can be folded and stowed to achieve obstacle-crossing walking of the lawn mower. The combination of the wheeled mobile module and the quadruped auxiliary module enables the wheel-foot composite all-terrain lawn mower to change its working state according to different road conditions. When the road surface is flat, it walks with four walking wheels to reduce energy consumption; when there are obstacles on the road surface, it walks with four bionic feet to improve passability, solving the problem of the whole machine overcoming obstacles when the lawn mower is operating in different terrains, while taking into account the high-speed movement of the lawn mower.
[0007] Furthermore, the thigh driving device includes a motor disposed between the frame and the thigh, and the walking wheel driving device includes a motor disposed between the calf and the walking wheel. The calf driving device includes a motor disposed between the thigh and the calf; or the calf driving device includes a hydraulic cylinder disposed between the thigh and the calf, one of the cylinder barrel and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder being hinged to the thigh, and the other being hinged to a portion of the calf deviating from the hinge point, and the thigh driving device also includes a hydraulic system disposed on the frame, and the hydraulic system is connected to the oil port of the hydraulic cylinder through a pipeline. By arranging a hydraulic cylinder between the thigh and the calf, the calf is driven by the hydraulic cylinder to move, and the force is large and impact-resistant.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower leg is provided with a brake device for braking the running wheels. The brake device can brake the running wheels and prevent slipping in the quadruped walking mode.
[0009] Furthermore, a road condition information collection device is provided on the frame. The road condition information collection device is used to collect road condition information and provide data support for the control strategy of the wheel-foot compound all-terrain mower.

[0011] Furthermore, the mowing device is vertically slidably mounted on the frame, and a lifting drive device for driving the mowing device to move vertically is provided between the frame and the mowing device. By controlling the lifting of the mowing device, the distance between the mowing device and the ground can be changed, thereby controlling the mowing height; in addition, during the obstacle crossing process of the wheel-foot compound all-terrain mower, the obstacle crossing capability can be further improved by adjusting the height of the mowing device to stabilize the center of gravity or by raising the height of the mowing device from the ground.

When the road condition ahead is flat, the normal mode is entered: the four bionic feet are retracted, and the four walking wheels touch the ground for driving. When the road condition ahead is an obstacle, the obstacle mode is entered: the four bionic feet are extended, the walking wheels stop rotating, and the four bionic feet walk mode is entered.
