[0018] Excellent protection performance: The design of the lower guard plate and the upper guard plate forms a complete protection system, which can effectively prevent the splashing debris or external objects from damaging the internal parts of the mower during mowing, and also protect the operator from accidental injury. In particular, the trapezoidal structure and flange design of the lower guard plate further enhance the protection effect.

[0019] Easy maintenance and replacement: The connection method between the components (such as bolt connection) makes it easier to repair or replace the device when parts need to be replaced. For example, when the cutter is worn and needs to be replaced, just loosen the bolts to easily remove the cutter for replacement.

[0020] Good sealing performance: The skeleton seal ring and O-ring design between the bearing seat and the bearing effectively prevent the leakage of substances such as lubricating oil or water, ensuring the normal operation and long service life of the internal components of the device.

[0021] The cutting knife has a long service life: the flexible connection between the cutting knife and the knife holder plate (realized by special-shaped through holes and short shafts) and the design that the cutting knife can be turned over for use enable the cutting knife to automatically avoid hard objects when encountering them, thus reducing the wear of the cutting knife and extending the service life of the cutting knife.

[0022] Reasonable top cover design: The top cover is made of thin plate stretched and pressed, which not only reduces weight but also reduces cost. At the same time, the design of the groove on the top cover can reduce the friction and collision with surrounding objects during operation, further improving the stability and durability of the device.

The other end of the first section and the other end of the third section are both inclined toward the installation box. A predetermined angle is provided between the first section and the second section, and between the second section and the third section. The angle is an obtuse angle. One end of the upper guard plate 11 is fixedly connected to the other end of the third section of the lower guard plate 9, and the other end of the upper guard plate 11 is fixedly connected to the installation box. The other end of the lower guard plate 9 is fixedly connected to the installation box through a connecting member 7. There is a gap between the upper end surface of the lower guard plate 9 and the lower end surface of the installation box.

[0035] In this example, the third section of the lower guard plate 9 is a trapezoidal structure, and upward flanges are provided at the waist positions on both sides.

[0036] In this example, the upper guard plate 11 and the lower guard plate 9 are fixedly connected by welding, and the other end of the lower guard plate 9 and the other end of the upper guard plate 11 are connected to the installation box by bolts.

[0037] In this example, the installation box includes a box body 8 and a box cover 6. The box body 8 and the box cover 6 are provided with a plurality of connection holes along the edges, and the connection holes are used for passing bolts.
