[0002] ‌The crawler-type mower drives the cutter head to rotate through a gasoline engine or an electric motor for mowing. At present, the crawler-type mowers on the market are flexible in walking, have strong passability, and can be equipped with a remote controller for control.

[0003] However, in the actual use process, due to the different densities of the grasslands and the existence of weeds or miscellaneous trees in some grasslands, and the stems of the weeds or miscellaneous trees are relatively thick and generally exist in groups. In this case, when the mower is working, its load is affected by the grassland density, weeds or miscellaneous trees. The existing technology usually uses a single motor drive for mowing, and its speed is only achieved through the rotation speed of the motor. And the maximum power of the motor is certain. When encountering the situation of increased load, it is often impossible to adjust the speed and increase the output torque to adapt, which will cause the cutter to be stuck and the current of the circuit to increase, burning out the motor. In summary, it is urgent to design a power system that can adjust the speed and increase the output torque to cope with the situation of increased load. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on the deficiency that in the prior art, when the mower is mowing, it is unable to increase the torque output while increasing the speed when encountering the situation of increased density, weeds, or miscellaneous trees, which is likely to cause jamming and burning out the motor, the present invention provides a hob-type mower with a dual speed regulation function.

Detailed implementation manners

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are only descriptive and exemplary, and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present invention.
