Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of weeding equipment, and more particularly to a triple lawn mower capable of adapting to terrain. Background Art
[0002] Weed growth is a common problem in solar photovoltaic power plants. The height of weeds often affects the proper functioning of solar panels, thereby impacting photovoltaic power generation. As weeds grow, they block the panels, reducing the amount of sunlight they receive and reducing power generation efficiency. Furthermore, weeds can damage the equipment in the photovoltaic power plant, such as damaging solar panels and blocking vents, increasing maintenance costs and difficulties. To address this issue, effective weed control measures are needed. Traditional weed control methods typically require manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also prone to damage to equipment. With the continuous development of intelligent technology, weed control robots are gradually replacing manual weeding operations. However, in practical application, weed control robots also face some technical challenges, especially in complex and changing environments.
[0003] A common problem with robots is that weeds covered by the wheel trains on both sides are often difficult to effectively cut. This is primarily due to the robot's structural design and the limited motion of the blades, which can prevent weeds from being completely removed in some areas. To address this issue, the widely used weeding blade assemblies currently include hammer blade assemblies and roller blade assemblies.
[0004] The hammer cutter assembly, with its high-speed rotation and sharp blade design, can effectively cut most weeds. The reel cutter assembly, on the other hand, uses its rolling blades to cover a wider area, thereby improving weeding efficiency. However, due to obstacles such as rocks on mountainous terrain, weeding robots are prone to collisions during operation, resulting in blade damage or failure.
[0005] Therefore, how to improve the adaptability and durability of weeding robots in complex environments while ensuring the weeding effect has become the focus of current technical research. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention depending on the specific circumstances.
[0034] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0035] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a three-combination lawn mower capable of adapting to terrain, comprising a chassis assembly 1 and a three-combination blade assembly 2, wherein the three-combination blade assembly 2 is connected to the chassis assembly 1;
[0036] The triple blade group 2 includes a support plate 21, an anti-collision device 22 and three mowing blade mechanisms 23 installed on the support plate 21. The anti-collision device 22 is installed on the front end surface of the support plate 21. Specifically, the anti-collision device 22 in this embodiment plays a safety protection role. When the triple lawn mower encounters thick trees or large rocks and cannot pass through, the anti-collision device 22 can be triggered in time to transmit the information to the control system of the triple lawn mower, and then control the triple lawn mower to stop moving forward, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the motor being stuck and continuing to run and burning the motor.
[0037] In this embodiment, the three mowing blade mechanisms 23 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the support plate 21. This arrangement enables the triple mower to evenly cover the mowing area during movement, which not only improves the mowing efficiency, but also ensures the uniformity of mowing and avoids omissions or repeated mowing. The center points of the three mowing blade mechanisms 23 are connected in sequence to form an isosceles triangle. This design enhances the stability and reliability of the triple mower, allowing the mower to maintain a stable working state when facing complex terrain or environment, and reduces the risk of damage caused by vibration or impact.

There are three controllers 7, each of which is electrically connected to the drive motors 231 in the three mower mechanisms 23, one on one. Each controller 7 is fixed to the support plate 21 by screws. In this embodiment, the blade disc 232 is a mounting flange, and the blades 233 are fastened by screws, flat washers, and lock nuts to ensure a stable connection between the blades 233 and the mounting flange.

[0048] For further explanation, an embodiment of the present invention provides an installation process for a three-mower lawn mower capable of adaptive terrain, as follows:
[0049] Step 1. Place the blade 233 inside the mounting flange, then use the plug screw Φ10×14-M8 to pass through the mounting flange and the blade 233 in turn, and then tighten it with a flat washer Φ8 and a lock nut M8. Then install the drive motor 231 on the support plate 21 and fix it with four hexagon socket screws M6×20 respectively. Then place the controller 7 on the support plate 21 and fix it with a hexagon socket flat head screw M6×16, a spring washer Φ6, and a flat washer Φ6.
[0050] Step 2: Install the three assembled mower blade mechanisms 23 onto the support plate 21 and thread them onto the output shaft of the drive motor 231. Secure them using M6×16 hexagon socket head screws, Φ6 spring washers, and large Φ6 flat washers. Next, thread the support wheel assembly 5 onto the support plate 21 and secure them using M30 hexagonal thin nuts. Install the lighting assembly 4 on both sides of the support plate 21 and secure them using the included M8 bolts.
[0051] Step 3: Install four copper sleeves (Φ20×Φ18×10) into the holes at both ends of the connecting rod 311. Then, install the connecting rod 311 onto the support plate 21 and secure it with a Φ16×65-M12 screw and an M12 nut.
[0052] Step 4: Align the socket at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 32 with the slot on the mounting plate 821, insert the pin 321, and secure it with a 4×28 split pin on the other side. Furthermore, hook one end of the tension spring 322 on the round hole of the pin 321 and the other end on the lug of the support plate 21, allowing the electric push rod 32 to slide within the slot. During actual operation, the ground clearance can be adjusted according to the terrain, and the adjustment range is between 0 and 100 mm.
[0053] Step 5: Install the anti-collision device 22 to the front end of the support plate 21 and fix it with the screws provided with the anti-collision device 22.
[0054] Step 6. Assemble the assembled triple blade assembly 2 and chassis assembly 1, and use the plug screw Φ16×65-M12, flat washer Φ12, and lock nut M12 to fix the connecting rod 311 in the triple blade assembly 2; then use the plug screw Φ13×55-M10, flat washer Φ10, and lock nut M10 to fix the mounting hole at the tail end of the electric push rod 32.
[0055] The working process of the terrain-adaptive triple lawn mower provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:
[0056] See also Figure 7As shown, when performing weeding operations, when the support wheel assembly 5 installed on the triple blade assembly 2 travels on a slope or obstacle 9 (tree roots, rocks, etc.), the support force of the ground increases, causing the support plate 21 to move upward; the electric push rod 32 used to adjust the height of the support plate 21 from the ground has a fixed extension length, so the connecting rod 311 will rotate around the mounting fulcrum on the chassis assembly 1, thereby tilting the support plate 21. After returning to flat ground or avoiding the obstacle 9, the tension spring 322 installed at one end of the electric push rod 32 will pull the electric push rod 32 downward to the initial working position. Through the rotation of the four-bar linkage, the support plate 21 is restored to the working height, ensuring that the triple blade assembly 2 can continue to perform weeding operations.
[0057] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
[0058] The above is an exemplary description of the patent of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
