Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lawn mowers, and in particular to a hand-push lawn mower that realizes automatic clutching. Background Art

[0002] There are two types of push mowers: pure manual drive and motor-driven self-propelled. The motor-driven self-propelled mode is more labor-saving, and only requires manual correction operations when turning or reversing. When turning or pulling the mower backward, the machine is generally stopped for operation. Since the motor drives the vehicle shaft to rotate through a series of gear transmission mechanisms, when driving in the reverse direction, the resistance will be very large and will cause certain damage to the motor. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a mower that can realize automatic clutch of the transmission system. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, the present application provides a push lawn mower with automatic clutch to solve the above technical problems.

An accommodating portion is arranged inside the disengagement gear, and the accommodating portion includes a plurality of circumferentially distributed ratchet grooves. A movable pin is radially penetrated through the wheel axle, so that when the wheel axle rotates in a first direction, the movable pin is engaged in the accommodating portion, so that the wheel axle and the disengagement gear remain combined. When the wheel axle rotates in an opposite second direction, the movable pin automatically moves in the accommodating portion, so that the wheel axle and the disengagement gear remain separated.

[0007] In some embodiments, the ratchet groove includes a stop portion and a guide portion. When the wheel axle rotates in a first direction, one end of the movable pin is blocked by the stop portion, so that the wheel axle and the disengagement gear rotate synchronously; when the wheel axle rotates in an opposite second direction, one end of the movable pin is moved toward the other end by the force of the guide portion and enters into the next interval of the ratchet groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, the ratchet grooves are provided at three evenly distributed and adjacent locations.

[0009] In some embodiments, a counterweight is disposed at one end of the movable pin.

[0010] In some embodiments, the transmission gear is fixed to the inner side of the driving wheel by fasteners.

[0011] In some embodiments, a clutch is provided in the transmission mechanism, and the clutch realizes the connection or disconnection between the motor shaft and the wheel shaft.

[0012] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a motor shaft gear, a clutch, a first gear shaft, a second gear shaft, and a wheel shaft gear.

The motor shaft gear is meshed with the gear ring, the first gear shaft is meshed with the second gear shaft, and the second gear shaft is meshed with the wheel shaft gear, thereby transmitting the power of the motor to the wheel shaft.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the vehicle body moves forward, the wheel axle rotates in a first direction, and when the vehicle body stops, the clutch disengages the motor shaft from the vehicle shaft, and the vehicle body can move freely backward and cause the wheel axle to rotate in an opposite second direction, at which time the wheel axle and the disengagement gear also remain disengaged.

[0014] In some embodiments, the vehicle body is also provided with a front wheel group and a handle. The front wheel group is arranged at the front part of the vehicle body as a driven wheel, and the driving wheel is arranged in the middle part of the vehicle body. When the vehicle body moves forward, the wheel axle rotates around a first direction. When the vehicle body stops, the wheel axle remains disengaged from the disengagement gear, so that the vehicle body can move freely backward.

[0015] In some embodiments, a cutter head unit is disposed on the vehicle body, the cutter head unit is installed between the front wheel set and the driving wheel, and is driven by an independent power unit.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the disengagement mechanism can automatically cut off the power transmission when the lawn mower stops and needs to move backward, thereby reducing the resistance when the lawn mower moves backward, making the operation more convenient, and not damaging the motor; in a further embodiment, a clutch is also provided for disengaging the motor shaft and the vehicle shaft, thereby realizing automatic engagement during startup and automatic disengagement during shutdown, thereby providing a double disengagement solution.
