Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is applied to the field of lawn mowers, and in particular relates to a blade changing system for a multifunctional lawn mower. Background Art

[0002] The rural areas in the south are located in the hilly areas, which are suitable for the breeding of dairy cows, sheep, geese and other livestock and poultry. The animal husbandry has developed rapidly in the past 20 years, and the corresponding forage planting area has also been expanding. The varieties of forage grass planted now are mainly ryegrass and alfalfa. These varieties are tough and strong. When they are harvested manually with sickles, the blades become blunt in a short time. Farmers often bring sharpening bricks to the fields and sharpen them frequently, which leads to low work efficiency. Large-scale belt-driven mowers are difficult to operate in these areas. These geographical locations require relatively high conditions for belt-driven mowers. Complete sets of belt-driven mowers are not flexible enough, and the cost of operating large-scale complete sets of belt-driven mowers is relatively high. Moreover, forage grass is harvested many times in a growing period, and harvesting machinery suitable for small and medium-sized pastures is urgently needed. Therefore, we should find a suitable method as soon as possible to solve the difficulties of forage harvesting as soon as possible.

[0003] Using a small grass harvester for harvesting can reduce the heavy physical labor during grass harvesting and reduce the trampling of grass by workers when mowing, which is favored by workers. Compared with the damage to grass roots caused by workers mowing by hand, cutting with a small wheel-driven mower can make the cut grass of uniform length, the grass grows more vigorously, and is easy to bundle and transport, which brings great convenience to the remaining links. With the rapid rise of the grass industry, new opportunities have been brought to the development of grass mechanization. The market demand for double-blade new energy mowers that can freely switch ropes or blades according to the scene is large and has broad prospects. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that the lawn mowers in the prior art have single functions and limited applicable scenarios, the present invention aims to provide a multifunctional lawn mower that can flexibly switch between rope and blade mowing modes according to different needs of mowing scenarios, so as to improve mowing efficiency and applicability.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a multifunctional lawn mower, including a tool spindle, a blade slider mechanism, an electronic control system, a rope slider mechanism and other components. The lawn mower integrates the rope and the blade on the tool spindle. When it is necessary to cut a bush with a relatively high hardness, the reciprocating motion of the blade slider is controlled by the electronic control system to achieve the lowering and storage of the blade driven by the connecting rod; at the same time, when it is necessary to cut a soft lawn with a relatively low hardness, a rope slider mechanism that can move up and down is designed in the tool spindle, and a nylon rope is passed through the slider mechanism to achieve the storage and release of the rope.

[0006] Furthermore, the blade slider mechanism includes a motor, a sliding bearing and a slider, etc. The slider can move up and down along the motor lead screw, and the electronic control system controls the reciprocating motion of the slider. The connecting rod enables the blade to be lowered for cutting and automatically stored after cutting is completed.

[0007] Furthermore, the rope slider mechanism includes a motor, a sliding bearing and a slider, etc. The slider can move up and down along the motor screw rod, and the electronic control system controls the reciprocating motion of the slider. The nylon rope passes through the slider and is fixedly connected to the slider, and the storage and release of the nylon rope are achieved by controlling the movement of the slider.

[0008] Furthermore, when disassembling and replacing the blade, first, loosen the nut used to fix the blade; second, remove the bolts and nuts originally used to fix the blade in place; finally, install the new blade in place and re-tighten the bolts and nuts to ensure its stability. This method simplifies the blade replacement process and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, when removing and replacing the rope, first, the old rope is completely pulled out of the device; then, the new rope is fed into the device, ensuring that it is correctly positioned. This replacement method does not require complicated tools or techniques, making the rope replacement process fast and convenient, thereby reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0010] Compared with traditional lawn mowers, the multifunctional lawn mower of the present invention has significant advantages such as low energy consumption, environmental protection, large cutting area, and high single cutting efficiency. It can meet the needs of different mowing scenes and improve mowing efficiency and applicability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to more clearly describe the concept, technical solution and advantages of the present invention, the following specifically describes the implementation mode in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0016] The tool changing system is located at the bottom of the lawn mower housing and consists of a tool shaft, a deep groove ball bearing, a shaft sleeve, a bevel gear, a bevel gear flat key, an upper fixing block of a tool motor, a micro motor, a sliding bearing, a tool slider, a tool sliding bearing fixing block, a lower fixing block of a tool motor, a connecting rod, a tool outer sleeve, a blade, a tool inner sleeve, a tool fixing block, a rope slider, and a rope.

[0017] When the mower drives to an open area with relatively tall and dense grass, the mower collects data about the surrounding grass, such as grass height and density, and transmits it to the mower's intelligent control system. After analysis and judgment, if the scene conditions for mowing with blades are met, the operator starts the blade working mode switching process. At this time, the blade assembly originally stored in a specific position will rotate through the motor-driven screw rod, and the tool slider will move downward to the predetermined position and lock together with the sliding bearing. At the same time, the connecting rod drives the blade to a position parallel to the ground. The blade can quickly and efficiently cut off tall and dense weeds with the powerful cutting force generated by high-speed rotation, meeting the needs of large-area, high-intensity mowing operations.

[0018] When the cutter is mowing, the motor extends the entire cutter holder downward until the blade is parallel to the ground, and the support frames on both sides position and lock the blade in this position. When changing the rope, press the cutter change button to first retract the entire cutter holder upward to both sides of the cutter spindle driven by the motor, completing the storage of the cutter holder, and then the motor inside the shaft withdraws the rope slider mechanism along the screw rod, so that the rope moves to the working position and is locked.

[0019] When the mower enters a narrow area with complex terrain, or the grass is short, thin and distributed at the edge of the flower bed, corners and other fine areas, the mower will start the rope working mode after analyzing and confirming that it meets the requirements of using a rope to mow the grass. The blade is retracted to the tool rod in the opposite direction of the above starting method. The rope, the rope slider and the sliding bearing are fixed by the rotation of the motor and extended downward along the screw rod to the predetermined position and then fixed. Under high-speed rotation, the centrifugal force generated by its high-speed rotation is used to easily cut off the thin weeds. This method can not only effectively avoid unnecessary damage to the surrounding environment in narrow areas, but also accurately clean the weeds in fine areas, ensuring the mowing effect while improving the flexibility and adaptability of mowing operations.

[0020] To ensure that the mower can accurately and quickly switch mowing tools in different scenarios, the mower needs to automatically identify the surrounding grass environment and replace the blade and rope in time to improve cutting efficiency.

[0021] The present invention provides a concept and method for a multifunctional lawn mower with replaceable blades. There are many methods and ways to implement the technical solution. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. All components not specified in this embodiment can be implemented by existing technologies.
