[0018] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for operating the aforementioned dual obstacle avoidance mowing device, comprising:
[0019] In its initial state, the mowing device moves forward along the working direction.
[0020] When encountering an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance blade assembly is squeezed and moves along the direction of the squeeze. As the mowing device continues to advance, the obstacle avoidance blade assembly mows the grass around the obstacle.
[0021] After passing through an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance disc assembly is reset by the action of the spring, returning to its initial state.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0023] The dual obstacle avoidance mowing device provided by this invention, by setting up a main blade assembly, an obstacle avoidance blade assembly and a transmission mechanism, and driving the blades to rotate, can simultaneously perform mowing work in front of and to the side of the device, and is suitable for corner operation environments.

One end of the swing rod is hinged to the output end of the second drive device, and the other end is hinged to the disc blade support. The hinge point between the swing rod and the second drive device is connected to the middle of the connecting rod via a spring. When the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly encounters an obstacle, it is compressed, and the spring connecting the swing rod and the second drive device is stressed. The obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly moves along the direction of the stress, which can cut weeds around the corner obstacles to the maximum extent. When it passes the obstacle, the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly returns to its original position under the action of the spring, realizing the passive obstacle avoidance function.
[0025] The dual obstacle avoidance mowing device provided by this invention uses a transmission mechanism to drive multiple blades with a single drive device. The multiple blade assemblies are arranged on the blade support by adjusting the installation phase angle, which can avoid collision and missed cutting between adjacent blades. By setting a stubble height adjustment device, the height of the mowing device can be adjusted to meet the mowing requirements at different vertical heights.
[0026] The dual obstacle avoidance lawn mowing device provided by this invention includes a monitoring system, an industrial control computer, and a solenoid valve assembly. The solenoid valve assembly is installed on a second drive device. The monitoring system is used to collect information on obstacles around the dual obstacle avoidance lawn mowing device and transmit it to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer is used to control the solenoid valve assembly to open / close the second drive device based on the collected obstacle information, thereby driving the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly to avoid obstacles or return to its original position, thus achieving active obstacle avoidance function.

The stubble height adjustment device 5 is installed on the front side of the working direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device to adjust the vertical height of the stubble. The variable amplitude mechanism 1 is installed on the rear side of the working direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device to adjust the posture of the mowing device and ensure that the mowing device floats and adheres to the ground.
[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the variable amplitude mechanism 1 includes a linkage mechanism 101, a connecting mechanism 102, and a locking structure 103; the connecting mechanism 102 includes a connecting plate 1021 and a first ear plate seat 1022. The upper end of the connecting plate 1021 is provided with a wedge block, and the lower end is provided with a first support plate. The main frame 6 is provided with a connecting component 601 on the rear side of the working direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device, including a wedge groove at the upper end and a second support plate at the lower end. The wedge groove cooperates with the wedge block, and the connecting plate 1021 can be snapped between the wedge groove and the second support plate. The first ear plate seat 1022 is provided at the bottom of the wedge block and is used to connect the pitch cylinder to adjust the pitch angle of the mowing device.
[0044] The locking structure 103 includes an L-shaped wrench 1031, a pressure rod 1032, a return spring 1033, a pin 1034, and a first limiting device 1038. The L-shaped wrench 1031 is hinged to the side of the connecting plate 1021 away from the main frame 6. The working end of the L-shaped wrench is provided with a guide sleeve 1036. The first support plate and the second support plate have corresponding holes for the pin 1034. The first support plate has a slot 1037 in the pin 1034 hole. The pin 1034 is positioned close to the L-shaped wrench. One side of pin 1031 is inserted into slot 1037. A limiting platform is provided at the top of pin 1034. The pressure rod 1032 is hinged to the upper end of the limiting platform. The return spring 1033 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure rod 1032, with its bottom end fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure rod 1032. A guide sleeve 1036 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure rod 1032 and abuts against the upper end of the return spring 1033. The first limiting device 1038 is installed on the pressure rod to limit the relative position of the guide sleeve 1036 and the pressure rod 1032. Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting nut is used as the first limiting device 1038, and the locking structure 103 also includes an indicator block 1035, which is used to indicate to the worker the position of the L-shaped wrench 1031 rotating and pressing down.
[0045] In this embodiment, two locking structures 103 are symmetrically arranged. When the luffing mechanism 1 needs to be installed, the connecting plate 1021 is snapped between the wedge groove and the second support plate. Then, the two locking structures 103 rotate the L-shaped wrench 1031 inward, push the guide sleeve 1036 down along the pressure rod 1032, and compress the return spring 1033 until the pin 1034 is inserted into the slot 1037.

[0046] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism 101 includes two symmetrical connecting rods 1011, two second ear plate seats 1012, and a first driving device. The connecting rods 1011 are hinged to the same side of the L-shaped wrench and can rotate along the vertical plane. The second ear plate seats 1012 are mounted on the connecting rods 1011 and are used to connect the first driving device. The first driving device can drive the connecting rods 1011 to rise and fall. A cross plate is also included, connected between the two connecting rods 1011. Under the action of the cross plate, the two connecting rods 1011 can rise and fall synchronously. In this embodiment, an undulating hydraulic cylinder is used as the first driving device, installed between the two second ear plate seats 1012, to adjust the height of the double obstacle avoidance mowing device, ensuring the lifting of the equipment when working in trenches, vertical obstacles, wading, or other corner areas.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the main disc cutter assembly 2 includes a disc cutter support 201 and five first disc cutter assemblies 202. Each first disc cutter assembly 202 includes a first drive shaft 2021, a first bearing seat 2022, and a cutting tool 2023. The first drive shaft 2021 is installed inside the first bearing seat 2022. Each cutting tool 2023 includes a circular cutter head seat 20231 and two cutting blades 20232. One end of the first drive shaft 2021 is fixedly connected to the center of the cutter head seat 20231. The cutting blades 202... 32 is detachably installed on the edge of the cutter head seat 20231 along the radial direction of the cutter head seat 20231. Two blades 20232 are symmetrically installed. The first bearing seats 2022 of the plurality of first disc cutter assemblies 202 are all fixedly connected to the disc cutter bracket 201. The disc cutter bracket 201 has three through holes in the middle and two brackets on the same side. Three first bearing seats 2022 are fixed at the middle through holes of the disc cutter bracket 201 and two are fixed at the brackets, so that the five first disc cutter assemblies 202 are distributed in a W shape.
[0048] The obstacle avoidance disc cutter group 4 has two obstacle avoidance disc cutters, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides. Each obstacle avoidance disc cutter includes a second disc cutter assembly 401, a connecting rod 402, a swing rod 403, and a second drive device 404. The second disc cutter assembly 401 includes a second drive shaft 4011, a second bearing seat 4012, and a cutter 2023. The second drive shaft 4011 is installed inside the second bearing seat 4012, and the cutter 2023 is coaxially and detachably connected to the second drive shaft 4011. The connecting rod 402 is fixedly connected between the second bearing seat 4012 and the nearest first bearing seat 2022. The disc cutter bracket 201 has a second drive device support 2011 on its side. The second drive device 404 is hinged to the second drive device support 2011. One end of the swing rod 403 is hinged to the output end of the second drive device 404, and the other end is hinged to the disc cutter bracket 201. The hinge point between the swing rod 403 and the second drive device 404 is connected to the middle of the connecting rod 402 by a spring.
[0049] The obstacle avoidance disc cutter assembly 4 also includes a cutter cover 405 and a second limiting device 406. The cutter cover 405 is installed outside the second disc cutter assembly 401, and the second limiting device 406 is installed on the main frame 6 to limit the swing amplitude of the connecting rod 402. In this embodiment, the obstacle avoidance angle on one side of the obstacle avoidance disc cutter assembly 4 is less than or equal to 30°.
[0050] The transmission mechanism 3 includes a third drive device 301, seven pulleys 302, and six belts 303. The seven pulleys 302 correspond one-to-one with the first disc cutter assembly 202 and the second disc cutter assembly 401, and are splinedly connected to one end of the first drive shaft 2021 or the second drive shaft 4011. The pulley 302 located in the middle is connected to the output end of the third drive device 301. The belts 303 are sequentially sleeved between two pulleys 302, enabling the third drive device 301 to drive all first disc cutter assemblies 202 and second disc cutter assemblies 401 when it is working. In this embodiment, the pulleys 302 are four-groove pulleys 302, and the belts 303 are V-shaped belts 303, making the transmission more stable.
[0051] The dual obstacle avoidance mowing device provided in this embodiment has a passive obstacle avoidance function. When the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device is working in a scenario with corner operation and a small turning radius, when the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly 4 encounters an obstacle, it is squeezed. The spring at the hinge joint connecting the swing rod 403 and the second drive device 404 is stressed, and the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly 4 moves along the direction of the force. It can cut weeds around the corner obstacle to the maximum extent. When it passes the obstacle, the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly 4 returns to its original position under the action of the spring.
[0052] This embodiment also provides a dual obstacle avoidance lawn mowing device. Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the stubble height adjustment device 5 includes a first pipe 501, a second pipe 502, a caster 503, and a bolt 504. The first pipe 501 is fixedly connected to the main frame 6. The second pipe 502 is sleeved inside the first pipe 501, and its bottom end is hinged to the axis of the caster 503. Both the first pipe 501 and the second pipe 502 have a row of corresponding through holes. By adjusting the depth of the second pipe 502 sleeved on the first pipe 501, and by locking the relative positions of the first pipe 501 and the second pipe 502 through the through holes of the bolt 504, the working height of the double obstacle avoidance mowing device can be adjusted.
[0053] like Figure 5As shown, the main frame 6 also includes a sliding shoe 602 and a protective chain 603. The sliding shoe 602 is installed on both sides of the working direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device to support the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device, maintain the distance between the blade 2023 and the ground, and maintain the forward direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device, thus playing a guiding role. The protective chain 603 is installed at the bottom front side of the working direction of the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device. A protective plate is also installed between the protective chain 603 and the blade 2023 to prevent gravel and soil from flying and to protect the blade 2023.
[0054] In this embodiment, the dual obstacle avoidance lawnmower further includes a monitoring system, an industrial control computer, and a solenoid valve assembly. The solenoid valve assembly is mounted on the second drive device 404. The monitoring system is used to collect information on obstacles around the dual obstacle avoidance lawnmower and transmit it to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer is used to control the solenoid valve assembly to open / close the second drive device 404 based on the collected obstacle information, thereby driving the obstacle avoidance disc blade assembly 4 to avoid obstacles or return to its original position. Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a lidar 701 mounted on the upper dual obstacle avoidance mowing device and millimeter-wave radars 702 distributed around the dual obstacle avoidance mowing device are used as a monitoring system, and a hydraulic cylinder is used as a second driving device 404.
[0055] The dual obstacle avoidance lawn mowing device provided in this embodiment has an active obstacle avoidance function, such as... Figure 8 As shown, in scenarios where the dual obstacle avoidance lawnmower operates at corners and has a small turning radius, when the lidar 701 and millimeter-wave radar 702 detect an insurmountable obstacle, they collect signals and transmit them to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer then issues commands to the solenoid valve assembly, which controls the hydraulic cylinder to extend its piston. Figure 7 As shown, the active control swing lever 403 causes the obstacle avoidance disc cutter assembly 4 to rotate, performing grass cutting work around the obstacle to adapt to corner operation scenarios; when the lidar 701 and millimeter-wave radar 702 detect that the obstacle has been avoided, the solenoid valve group controls the hydraulic cylinder to actively retract the piston rod, causing the obstacle avoidance disc cutter assembly 4 to return to its initial position, as shown. Figure 6 As shown.
[0056] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when operating at a right-angle corner, the dual obstacle avoidance lawnmower first moves along... Figure 11 As shown, it approaches the corner laterally, then retreats and then moves along... Figure 12 As shown, the blades approach the corner of the wall longitudinally. During operation, the obstacle avoidance disc assembly 4 actively or passively avoids obstacles to ensure close contact with the wall and maximize the mowing area.
