[0040] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic folding grass knife to solve the problems existing in the prior art, reduce the degree of damage to the blade, realize the automatic folding of the blade, and facilitate storage.

[0041] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] This embodiment provides an automatic folding grass knife 100, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, it includes a base rod 1 and at least one folding blade assembly; the base rod 1 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a motor; the folding blade assembly is located on one side of the base rod 1; the folding blade assembly includes a cutting blade 2 and a connecting rod 3; the cutting blade 2 includes a connecting part 21 and a cutting part 22, one end of the connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the cutting part 22; a first shaft 4 is provided at the end of the connecting part 21 away from the cutting part 22, and a second shaft 5 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 3; a rotating part 23 is provided on the connecting part 21, and the end of the connecting rod 3 away from the second shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 23 about a first axis, the first axis being parallel to the axes of the first shaft 4 and the second shaft 5; the base rod 1 has a sliding groove 11; the first Both shaft 4 and second shaft 5 are slidably disposed in sliding groove 11 along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the first axis. One end of each of the first shaft 4 and second shaft 5 is fixedly connected to an elastic element 9, and the other end of each elastic element 9 is fixedly connected to the base rod 1. The end of the cutting part 22 away from the connecting part 21 extends away from the base rod 1, and the cutting part 22 has a cutting blade 24 on one side along the rotation direction of the base rod 1. In its natural state, the elastic element 9 on the first shaft 4 can pull the first shaft 4 to move away from the second shaft 5, and the elastic element 9 on the second shaft 5 can pull the second shaft 5 to move away from the first shaft 4, that is, the elastic element 9 is in a contracted state when not subjected to external force.

[0044] A folding blade assembly consisting of a connecting rod 3 and a cutting blade 2 is mounted on the base rod 1. Under the pulling action of the elastic element 9, the cutting part 22 of the cutting blade 2 opens or retracts, thereby realizing the opening and retraction of the cutting part 22. When the motor output shaft drives the base rod 1 to rotate, as the speed increases, due to the centrifugal force, the first shaft 4 and the second shaft 5 move away from each other in the sliding groove 11, thereby realizing the opening action of the cutting part 22, and cutting is performed under the cutting edge 24 of the cutting part 22. Cutting action; when the cutting part 22 encounters a stone or a relatively hard object, the speed of the cutting part 22 drops rapidly. At this time, the centrifugal force at the first shaft 4 and the second shaft 5 is reduced, and under the action of the elastic element 9, the cutting part 22 retracts, reducing the damage to the cutting blade 24 on the cutting part 22. After the cutting is completed, the cutting part 22 will move closer to the base rod 1 under the movement of the connecting part 21 and the linkage rod 3, that is, the retraction action is realized, realizing its automatic folding and retraction, reducing the space occupied, and making it easy to store.

[0045] Specifically, during the unfolding process of the cutting blade 2, the angle between the extending direction of the cutting edge 24 on the cutting part 22 of the cutting blade 2 and the first direction can change from an acute angle to an obtuse angle; for example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 At this time, the motor is not started, and the angle between the extension direction of the cutting edge 24 of the cutting blade 2 and the first direction is an acute angle; such as Figures 1-4As shown, at this time, with the motor running, the motor output shaft drives the automatic folding grass knife 100 to rotate, and the extension direction of the cutting edge 24 of the cutting blade 2 forms a right angle with the first direction; as shown Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the angle between the extension direction of the cutting edge 24 of the cutting blade 2 and the first direction is an obtuse angle.

[0046] Specifically, the first shaft 4 and the second shaft 5 can both realize the reciprocating movement of the corresponding ends of the connecting part 21 and the connecting rod 3 in the first direction, and also realize their rotation about a direction parallel to the first axis.

[0047] Specifically, the connecting part 21 and the cutting part 22 are integrally formed.

[0048] Specifically, a folding knife assembly is installed on each of the left and right sides of the base rod 1, as follows:

[0049] Among the optional solutions in this embodiment, the more preferred one is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a folding blade assembly is provided on each side of the base rod 1. By providing a folding blade assembly on each side of the base rod 1, dual-blade cutting is achieved, which can improve cutting efficiency and ensure stable operation of the device.

[0050] Specifically, when a folding blade assembly is provided on both sides of the base rod 1, the end of the connecting part 21 of the folding blade assembly on one side away from the cutting part 22 and the connecting rod 3 of the folding blade assembly on the other side share a shaft (such as the first shaft 4 at the end of the connecting part 21 or the second shaft 5 at the end of the connecting rod 3); similarly, one end of the connecting rod 3 of the folding blade assembly on that side and the end of the connecting part 21 of the folding blade assembly on the other side away from the cutting part 22 share a shaft (such as the second shaft 5 at the end of the connecting rod 3 or the first shaft 4 at the end of the connecting part 21).

[0051] Among the optional solutions in this embodiment, the more preferred one is as follows: Figures 2-4 As shown, the elastic element 9 is a spring. The elastic element 9 uses a spring, whose components are common and readily available, making installation simple, convenient, and easy to maintain.

[0052] Among the optional solutions in this embodiment, the more preferred one is as follows: Figures 2-4As shown, the linkage 3 includes a first connecting piece 31 and a second connecting piece 32; each of the first connecting pieces 31 and 32 has a first through hole at one end and a second through hole at the other end; a third through hole is formed on the connecting part 21, which forms a rotating part 23; a second shaft 5 located in the sliding groove 11 passes through the first through hole of the first connecting piece 31 and the first through hole of the second connecting piece 32; the first connecting piece 31 and the second connecting piece 32 are located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting part 21 respectively, and a third shaft 6 passes through the second through hole, the third through hole of the first connecting piece 31, and the second through hole of the second connecting piece 32 in sequence. The linkage 3 is composed of the first connecting piece 31 and the second connecting piece 32 located above and below the cutting blade 2, and its connection is firm and stable.

[0053] Among the optional solutions in this embodiment, the more preferred one is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a connecting block 7 is fixed at the center of the base rod 1. The connecting block 7 has a shaft hole 71 and a pin limiting hole 72 communicating with the shaft hole 71. The shaft hole 71 is used for the motor output shaft to pass through, and the pin limiting hole 72 is used for a pin to pass through to limit the relative position between the connecting block 7 and the motor output shaft. The connecting block 7 enhances its connection strength with the motor output shaft, and the shaft hole 71 and pin limiting hole 72 facilitate a quick and secure connection with the motor output shaft.

[0054] Among the optional solutions in this embodiment, the more preferred one is as follows: Figure 1 and Figures 5-8 As shown, it also includes a protective cover 8, which covers the base rod 1, and each elastic element 9 and part of the connecting block 7 are located inside the protective cover 8. The protective cover 8 can protect the elastic elements 9, prevent foreign objects from interfering with the elastic elements 9, and ensure the normal operation of the elastic elements 9.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 The diagram shows the structure without the protective cover 8. The protective cover 8 protects the spring, which is normally retracted (i.e., when the motor is not running). The two cutting blades 2 are retracted, and the moment of inertia is small. When the motor starts, the speed gradually increases, and the cutting blades 2 gradually open. The opening angle is proportional to the speed. When the cutting blades 2 encounter a stone or a relatively hard object, the speed of the cutting blades 2 drops drastically. At this time, the cutting blades 2 retract to avoid further damage.

[0056] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
