[0038] The following is a detailed introduction to the structure of the lawn mowing equipment in the present application.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a lawn mowing device 100, comprising:

[0040] Support structure 10;

[0041] A mowing assembly 40, wherein the mowing assembly 40 is detachably mounted on the supporting structure 10;

[0042] a housing 20, the housing 20 being mounted on the support structure 10 and covering the mowing assembly 40, and a maintenance opening 20a being formed on the top of the housing 20; and,

[0043] The maintenance cover 30 is detachably mounted on the housing 20 to close or open the maintenance port 20a.

[0044] The support structure 10 constitutes the skeleton of the device and is used to support and fix the various components of the device. The support structure 10 is designed to have sufficient strength and stability to withstand various loads in daily use.

[0045] The mowing assembly 40 is a key functional component that is detachably mounted on the support structure 10 and is responsible for implementing the mowing operation. The mowing assembly 40 includes but is not limited to a blade, a drive motor, and a connecting drive mechanism. The detachable design allows the mowing assembly 40 to be easily replaced when damaged or needs to be upgraded.

[0046] The housing 20 is a protective layer covering the support structure 10 and the mowing assembly 40, which not only protects the internal components from the external environment, but also ensures the safety of the operator. A maintenance port 20a is designed on the top of the housing 20. The maintenance port 20a is of suitable size, allowing maintenance personnel to easily access the internal components for inspection, maintenance or replacement.

[0047] The maintenance cover 30 is a detachable component designed to close or open the maintenance port 20a.

In order to enhance the safety of the equipment, the maintenance cover 30 is also provided with a safety locking device to prevent the maintenance cover 30 from being accidentally opened when the equipment is running.

[0048] In this way, it can be ensured that the maintenance cover 30 remains securely closed during the start-up and operation of the device, thereby preventing any accidental contact with the moving parts inside the device.

[0049] At the same time, the maintenance port 20a is optimized in design, and the size and position of the maintenance port 20a are carefully designed to ensure that maintenance personnel can easily reach the mowing assembly 40 and other key electrical components. This design greatly reduces the time and labor required for maintenance and repair.

[0050] Furthermore, this embodiment also has a modular effect. By designing the mowing component 40 to be modular and detachable, users or maintenance personnel can quickly replace or upgrade it without professional tools, further improving the use and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0051] The mowing device 100 provided in this embodiment, while ensuring efficient mowing performance, significantly improves the convenience of maintenance and repair of the device through the design of its maintenance port 20a and maintenance cover 30, while ensuring the safety of the operation process. It also optimizes the maintenance experience of the device and reduces the maintenance time cost and labor cost.

[0052] In some embodiments, the support structure 10 includes a chassis, and the chassis and the housing 20 are combined to form a receiving space. The mowing assembly 40 is installed on the chassis and is located in the receiving space. The receiving space is connected to the maintenance port 20a.

[0053] In this embodiment, the support structure 10 of the mowing device 100 further includes a chassis component, which together with the housing 20 forms a relatively closed accommodating space. The chassis not only provides structural support to make the entire device more stable and durable, but also its design takes into account the installation and protection requirements of internal components.

[0054] The accommodating space is specially designed for installing the mowing assembly 40 and other electrical components (such as circuit boards, etc.). This space is connected to the maintenance port 20a of the device, ensuring that the key components inside the device can be directly operated from the outside.

[0055] A maintenance port 20a is designed on the top of the housing 20, and the maintenance port 20a is directly connected to the accommodating space, providing a convenient entrance for maintenance personnel. This design makes maintenance work (such as inspection, cleaning, repair or replacement of the mowing component 40, etc.) easier and faster without disassembling the entire device or the housing 20.

[0056] The design of the maintenance cover 30 ensures the protection of the accommodation space. When no maintenance activities are being performed, the maintenance cover 30 can be installed on the housing 20 to close the maintenance port 20a, preventing dust, moisture and other possible contaminants from entering the accommodation space, while also ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. The detachable design of the maintenance cover 30 supports quick access to internal components without the need for special tools or lengthy disassembly work.

[0057] Through the above arrangement, the mowing device 100 of this embodiment not only provides an effective mowing solution, but also greatly improves the maintenance convenience and safety of the equipment through the design of its maintenance port 20a, maintenance cover 30, chassis and accommodating space, meeting the user's demand for high efficiency and low maintenance cost.

[0058] In some embodiments, the contour of the maintenance opening 20a projected on the chassis covers at least two thirds of the contour of the mowing assembly 40 projected on the chassis.

[0059] The design of the maintenance opening 20a ensures that its projection on the chassis covers at least two-thirds of the projection on the chassis of the mowing assembly 40. This design feature means that the maintenance opening 20a provides a spacious maintenance area, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to repair or replace the mowing assembly 40.

[0060] This design ensures that even a relatively large mowing assembly 40 or a major portion of the assembly can be directly maintained through the maintenance opening 20a, thereby reducing the need to disassemble other components and simplifying the maintenance process.

[0061] In some embodiments, the support structure 10 further comprises a frame, the frame being mounted on the chassis, and the mowing assembly 40 comprises:

[0062] A mounting plate 41 mounted on the frame in a liftable manner;

[0063] A motor mounted on the mounting plate 41; and

[0064] A mowing blade 42 is mounted on the motor.

[0065] The frame is mounted on the chassis, providing a more stable and reliable platform for mounting the mowing assembly 40. The design of the frame not only enhances the structural stability of the entire device, but also provides a convenient way to support and fix the mowing assembly 40, ensuring its accuracy and efficiency during work.

[0066] A core feature of the mowing assembly 40 is that its mounting plate 41 is mounted on the frame in a liftable manner. This design allows the mowing height to be adjusted to suit different lawn conditions and the specific needs of the user. The liftable mechanism increases the flexibility and applicability of the device.

[0067] The motor mounted on the mounting plate 41 provides power for the mowing blade 42. The mowing blade 42 is directly mounted on the motor, and this compact layout optimizes the transmission efficiency and ensures the effect and efficiency of mowing. The selection and configuration of the motor is intended to provide sufficient power to drive the mowing blade 42, and maintain good mowing performance even on thicker lawns.

[0068] The mowing device 100 of this configuration can not only provide flexible mowing height adjustment through the liftable mounting plate 41, but also ensure mowing efficiency and effect, thereby meeting the user's demand for efficient and high-quality mowing, and improving the adaptability and ease of use of the device.

[0069] In some embodiments, the chassis is provided with an opening, and the mowing blade 42 is exposed to the outside through the opening;

[0070] The mowing assembly 40 further includes a deformable dust cover 43 , which is disposed on the outside of the motor, and has one end mounted on the mounting plate 41 and the other end mounted on the periphery of the opening.

[0071] As can be understood, the chassis is provided with an opening, through which the mowing blade 42 can be exposed to the outside to carry out effective mowing operations. This opening design allows the mowing blade 42 to directly contact the grass, thereby improving mowing efficiency and facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the mowing blade 42.

[0072] In order to protect the motor from dust and debris, a deformable dust cover 43 is provided in this embodiment. The dust cover 43 is provided on the outside of the motor, one end of which is mounted on the mounting plate 41, and the other end is fixed to the periphery of the chassis opening. This not only effectively prevents dust and debris from entering the motor area, but also maintains ventilation and heat dissipation conditions of the mowing blade 42.

[0073] Furthermore, the deformable nature of the dust cover 43 enables it to extend and retract when the mowing assembly 40 is raised or lowered, thereby maintaining continuous protection of the motor without affecting the normal operation of the mowing blade 42. This design protects the motor, ensures mowing efficiency, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0074] In some embodiments, the dust cover 43 is a bellows.

[0075] A corrugated pipe is a tubular structure with wavy folds, usually made of flexible material (such as plastic or rubber), which can deform when subjected to force and has a certain degree of elasticity.

[0076] The bellows member is installed in the mowing assembly 40 as a dust cover 43 to protect the motor and other internal components from dust, debris and moisture. Its corrugated structure enables it to adapt to the lifting and lowering movement of the mowing assembly 40, maintaining the motor covered without affecting the operation of the mowing blade 42.

[0077] Bellows fittings have good flexibility and durability, and can effectively resist the external environment from invading the interior of the equipment, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0078] In some embodiments, an electric regulator is further included. The electric regulator is electrically connected to the motor in the mowing assembly 40 and the electric regulator is detachably mounted on the support structure 10 .

[0079] The electric regulator is used to control the motor in the mowing assembly 40, and can adjust the speed, direction or other parameters of the motor to achieve fine control of the mowing operation. This electric regulator function can improve the efficiency and flexibility of the mowing device 100 and adapt to different lawn environments and mowing requirements.

[0080] The electric regulator is connected to the motor in the mowing assembly 40 through an electrical connection to form a complete electrical control system. Through a connection method such as wires or cables, the electric regulator can receive instructions from a control panel or other control device and transmit corresponding control signals to the motor.

[0081] The electric speed controller can be detachably mounted on the support structure 10 . The advantage of this design is that it is convenient to maintain and replace the electric speed controller. When repair or upgrade is required, the electric speed controller can be directly removed without disassembling the entire mowing assembly 40 or the support structure 10 .

[0082] In some embodiments, a control panel is further included. The control panel is electrically connected to the motor and the electric regulator in the mowing assembly 40 . The control panel is detachably mounted on the support structure 10 .

[0083] The control board is used to control the motor and the electric regulator in the mowing assembly 40, and it assumes the control and regulation functions of the entire mowing operation. The control board can receive instructions from the user or other control devices, and then convert these instructions into corresponding control signals, and transmit these signals to the motor and the electric regulator in the mowing assembly 40 through electrical connections.

[0084] The control panel can be detachably mounted on the support structure 10, and this design makes the maintenance and replacement of the control panel more convenient. When maintenance or upgrading is required, the control panel can be directly removed without disassembling the entire mowing assembly 40 or the support structure 10.

[0085] In some embodiments, the control board and the electrical regulator are spaced apart.

[0086] The spacing between the control board and the ESC is designed to optimize the layout and arrangement of the equipment, ensuring the independence and non-interference between the various functional modules. This design allows the control board and the ESC to operate independently without interference or confusion due to their close locations.

[0087] At the same time, the spacing distribution is also conducive to heat dissipation and maintenance. The spacing between the control board and the ESC allows the heat inside the device to be better dissipated, avoiding heat accumulation caused by the functional modules being too close together. At the same time, the spacing distribution also makes it easier for maintenance personnel to perform separate maintenance and repairs on the control board and the ESC.

[0088] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides an automatic lawn mower, comprising a self-moving device and the above-mentioned lawn mowing device 100, wherein the lawn mowing device 100 is installed on the self-moving device.

[0089] In this utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an integral connection, or a transmission connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0090] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as specific or special structures. The description of the term "some embodiments" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model.
