Detailed implementation manners

[0029] Next, in combination with the detailed implementation manners, the present application will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following-described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0030] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that for orientation terms, such as the terms "center", "transverse", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., the orientation and position relationships indicated are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0032] As used in the description and claims of this application, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0033] As Figures 1-6 shown, this application provides an electric height adjustment device for adjusting the chassis height of a lawn mower, which comprises:

[0034] A controller;

[0035] A drive unit 100, the controller is communicatively connected to the drive unit 100 to control the start and stop of the drive unit 100;

[0036] A front axle support unit 300 and a rear axle support unit 400 for supporting the lawn mower;

[0037] And a height adjustment unit 200. A first link 500 is hinged between the height adjustment unit 200 and the front axle support unit 300, and a second link 600 is hinged between the height adjustment unit 200 and the rear axle support unit 400. The drive unit 100 is drivingly connected to the height adjustment unit 200, so that at least a part of the height adjustment unit 200 can move relative to the drive unit 100. Furthermore, the height adjustment unit 200 can drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate simultaneously through the first link 500 and the second link 600 to raise or lower the chassis height of the lawn mower, enabling the lawn mower to achieve different mowing heights.

[0038] Specifically, as Figures 1-2As shown, the height adjustment unit 200 includes a height adjustment base 210 and a height adjustment bracket 220. The height adjustment bracket 220 is disposed within the height adjustment base 210. The height adjustment bracket 220 includes a first rod 221 and a second rod 222. The top end of the first rod 221 is hinged to the top end of the second rod 222. The bottom end of the first rod 221 is connected to the drive unit 100. The bottom end of the second rod 222 is hinged to the height adjustment base 210, such that the first rod 221 and the second rod 222 form a V-shaped structure. The drive unit 100 can drive the bottom end of the first rod 221 to move back and forth to approach or move away from the bottom end of the second rod 222. A first connecting rod 500 is hinged between the first rod 221 and the rear axle support unit 400, and a second connecting rod 600 is hinged between the second rod 222 and the front axle support unit 300. When the drive unit 100 drives the bottom end of the first rod 221 to move closer to the bottom end of the second rod 222, the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600 are driven by the first rod 221 and the second rod 222. The first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600 can drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate simultaneously to raise the chassis height of the lawn mower body. When the drive unit 100 drives the bottom end of the first rod 221 to move away from the bottom end of the second rod 222, the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600 are driven by the first rod 221 and the second rod 222. The first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600 can drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate simultaneously to lower the chassis height of the lawn mower body.

[0039] Further, the drive unit 100 specifically includes a drive motor 110, a driven screw 130, and a sliding block 140. The output end of the drive motor 110 is connected with a reduction gearbox 120. The driven screw 130 is disposed on the reduction gearbox 120 and is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the drive motor 110. After being decelerated by the reduction gearbox 120, the drive motor 110 can drive the driven screw 130 to rotate along its axis. The driven screw 130 is disposed within the height adjustment base 210. Through slots 211 are respectively formed in two side walls of the height adjustment base 210. The extending direction of the through slots 211 is the same as the extending direction of the driven screw 130. The sliding block 140 is in threaded connection with the driven screw 130, and two ends of the sliding block 140 are respectively disposed within the through slots 211 to form movable ends 141. When the drive motor 110 drives the driven screw 130 to rotate along its axis, the sliding block 140 can move relative to the driven screw 130, and the movable ends 141 can move within the through slots 211.

[0040] In addition, the sliding block 140 is also hinged to the bottom end of the first support rod 221. When the controller controls the driving motor 110 to drive the driven screw 130 to rotate, the sliding block 140 can move on the driven screw 130 to drive the bottom end of the first support rod 221 to approach or move away from the bottom end of the second support rod 222. Specifically, when the user presses the height adjustment button, the controller controls the driving motor 110 to operate. The driving motor 110 drives the driven screw 130 to rotate in the clockwise direction, causing the sliding block 140 to move away from the driving motor 110. The sliding block 140 drives the bottom end of the first support rod 221 to approach the bottom end of the second support rod 222. Thus, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate simultaneously to lift the chassis of the lawn mower body through the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600. When the user presses the lowering button, the controller controls the driving motor 110 to operate. The driving motor 110 drives the driven screw 130 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, causing the slider to move towards the driving motor 110. The sliding block 140 drives the bottom end of the first support rod 221 to move away from the bottom end of the second support rod 222. Thus, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate simultaneously to lower the chassis of the lawn mower body through the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the electric height adjustment device further includes a gear adjustment unit 700. The gear adjustment unit 700 is adapted to obtain the displacement of the sliding block 140 and convert it into an electrical signal for transmission to the controller. The controller is adapted to control the driving motor 110 to operate or stop according to the electrical signal, so that the sliding block 140 moves the same distance relative to the driven screw 130 each time. Furthermore, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 can drive the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400 to rotate a fixed angle through the first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 600, ensuring that the chassis of the lawn mower body is lifted or lowered by the same height each time, and realizing the gear adjustment of the height of the lawn mower chassis.

[0042] Such as Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the gear adjustment device includes a magnetic member 710a, an induction plate 730a, and a plurality of Hall sensors 720a. The magnetic member 710a is fixedly installed on the movable end 141 of the slider 140. The induction plate 730a is disposed on the side wall of the height adjustment base 210 and corresponds to the sliding groove 211. Each Hall sensor 720a is uniformly spaced along the extension direction of the sliding groove 211 on the induction plate 730a. Thus, when the slider 140 slides, the magnetic member 710a on the movable end 141 can sequentially pass through each Hall sensor 720a, causing the Hall sensor 720a to detect magnetic fields of different intensities. The Hall sensor 720a is communicatively connected to the controller. The Hall sensor 720a is adapted to detect the magnetic field intensity and convert it into an electrical signal for transmission to the controller. The controller determines whether the magnetic field intensity has reached a preset value based on the electrical signal. If the magnetic field intensity reaches the preset value, the controller controls the drive motor 110 to stop. If the magnetic field intensity does not reach the preset value, the controller controls the drive motor 110 to operate.

[0043] Specifically, when the user presses the adjustment button, the controller controls the drive motor 110 to operate. The drive motor 110 drives the driven screw 130 to rotate so that the slider 140 moves relative to the driven screw 130. The movement of the slider 140 relative to the driven screw 130 enables the movable end 141 to drive the magnetic member 710a to move within the sliding groove 211, causing the magnetic member 710a to be driven to sequentially pass through each Hall sensor 720a. When the movable end 141 drives the magnetic member 710a to move to a position directly opposite the Hall sensor 720a, the magnetic field intensity detected by the Hall sensor 720a is the maximum. The controller determines that the magnetic field intensity has reached the preset value based on the received electrical signal, and the controller controls the drive motor 110 to stop, such that the distance moved by the slider 140 each time is the distance between two Hall sensors 720a, thereby achieving gear adjustment of the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400. Based on the cooperation between the magnetic member 710a and the Hall sensor 720a, electric gear adjustment of the lawn mower chassis height can be achieved. Each time the user presses the adjustment button, the chassis of the lawn mower can be raised or lowered by one gear without manual operation, which is simple and labor-saving.

[0044] As Figures 3-4As shown, in some other embodiments, the gear shifting device includes a switch box 710b, a plurality of micro switches 720b, and a plurality of trigger arms 730b. The switch box 710b is disposed on the side wall of the height adjustment base 210 and corresponds to the sliding groove 211. Each micro switch 720b is uniformly spaced along the extending direction of the sliding groove 211 in the switch box 710b. Each trigger arm 730b is disposed in the switch box 710b corresponding to each micro switch 720b. The bottom end of the trigger arm 730b is hinged to the switch box 710b, and the top end of the trigger arm 730b abuts against the micro switch 720b. The trigger arm 730b can be pressed to close and trigger the micro switch 720b. Each micro switch 720b is communicatively connected to the controller. When the micro switch 720b is closed, the micro switch 720b is adapted to transmit an electrical signal to the controller. The controller receives the electrical signal and controls the driving motor 110 to stop. When the micro switch 720b is open, the micro switch 720b does not transmit an electrical signal to the controller, and the controller does not receive the electrical signal and controls the driving motor 110 to continue to operate.

[0045] Specifically, when the user presses the adjustment button, the controller controls the driving motor 110 to operate. The driving motor 110 drives the driven screw 130 to rotate so that the sliding block 140 moves relative to the driven screw 130. The movement of the sliding block 140 relative to the driven screw 130 enables the movable end 141 to move in the sliding groove 211. The movable end 141 can sequentially pass through each trigger arm 730b and press the trigger arm 730b to close the micro switch 720b. When the movable end 141 moves to a position directly opposite to the trigger arm 730b, the movable end 141 abuts against the trigger arm 730b to close the micro switch 720b. After the micro switch 720b is closed, it transmits an electrical signal to the controller. After receiving the electrical signal, the controller controls the driving motor 110 to stop working, so that the distance that the sliding block 140 moves each time is the distance between two micro switches 720b, thereby realizing the gear adjustment of the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400. When the movable end 141 moves away from the position directly opposite to the trigger arm 730b, the movable end 141 no longer abuts against the trigger arm 730b. The trigger arm 730b is separated from the micro switch 720b under the action of the torsion spring at the bottom end, and the micro switch is opened. Based on the cooperation of the movable end 141, the trigger arm 730b, and the micro switch 720b, the electric gear adjustment of the height of the lawn mower chassis can be realized. Each time the user presses the adjustment button, the chassis of the lawn mower can be raised or lowered by one gear without manual operation, which is simple and labor-saving.

[0046] Further, the front axle support unit 300 specifically includes a front axle connecting member 320 for connecting with the front wheels. A front wheel axle 310 for supporting the lawn mower main body is provided on the front axle connecting member 320, and the first link 500 is hinged to the front axle connecting member 320; the rear axle support unit 400 specifically includes a rear axle connecting member 420 for connecting with the rear wheels. A rear wheel axle 410 for supporting the lawn mower main body is provided on the rear axle connecting member 420, and the second link 600 is hinged to the rear axle connecting member 420. The connection points of the front wheels, the front wheel axle 310 and the first link 500 on the front axle connecting member 320 are arranged in a triangle, and the connection points of the rear wheels, the rear wheel axle 410 and the second link 600 on the rear axle connecting member 420 are also arranged in a triangle. When the height adjustment bracket 220 pulls or pushes the first link 500, the first link 500 can pull or push the front axle connecting member 320 to rotate, so that the front wheel axle 310 is lifted or lowered; when the height adjustment bracket 220 pulls or pushes the second link 600, the second link 600 can pull or push the rear axle connecting member 420 to rotate, so that the rear wheel axle 410 is lifted or lowered, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the lawn mower chassis. In addition, both the first link 500 and the second link 600 are connected to the height adjustment bracket 220, and the height adjustment bracket 220 can pull or push the first link 500 and the second link 600 simultaneously, ensuring the synchronization of the height adjustment of the front axle support unit 300 and the rear axle support unit 400.
