Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lawn mowers, and more specifically, to a lawn mower cutter head lifting assembly and a lawn mower. Background Art

[0002] Due to many advantages such as high efficiency, convenience and flexibility, lawn mowers have been widely used in many fields such as gardening maintenance, farm management and home lawn mowing. The cutter head, as the core component, not only determines the mowing efficiency and effect, but also directly affects the user experience. In the face of complex environments such as terrain undulations and obstacle blockages, the height adjustment function of the lawn mower cutter head is particularly important.

[0003] Traditional lawn mowers mostly adopt a manual mechanical adjustment method for cutter head height adjustment, and different cutting heights are set through preset gears. This design only meets the basic needs and has significant limitations. First of all, the manual adjustment process is cumbersome. Users need to bend down and operate the handle frequently, especially when working on large or irregularly shaped lawns, resulting in high labor intensity and low work efficiency. Secondly, since the lawn height may vary due to seasons, growth rates and specific design requirements, the fixed-gear adjustment method is difficult to meet diverse cutting needs, restricting the flexibility and adaptability of the lawn mower, and the adjustment accuracy is not high, which may lead to inconsistent cutting heights and affect the overall aesthetics and healthy growth of the lawn. In addition, the traditional manual adjustment method makes users have to touch the machine body covered with dirt such as chopped grass and mud, which is inconvenient for cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, with the continuous progress of technology and the increasing diversification of user needs, it is necessary to develop a lawn mower that can automatically, accurately, smoothly and flexibly adjust the cutter head height to solve the pain points of traditional lawn mowers in height adjustment and improve the user experience and work efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, and provides a lawn mower cutter head lifting assembly and a lawn mower, which can automatically, accurately, smoothly and flexibly adjust the cutter head height, and improve the user experience and work efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is to provide a lawn mower blade lifting assembly, wherein the blade is driven by a first drive mechanism to achieve mowing, the lifting assembly comprising a support frame, a screw mechanism, a guide mechanism and a second drive mechanism, the support frame being used to install and fix the first drive mechanism; the screw mechanism comprising a threaded screw and a nut, the screw being arranged at a distance on one side of the support frame and being transmission-connected with the output shaft of the second drive mechanism, the axis of the screw being parallel to the output shaft of the first drive mechanism, and the nut being fixed on the outer side of the support frame; the guide mechanism comprising a slidingly fitted guide rail and a roller, the guide rail being arranged at a distance on one side of the support frame, the extension direction of the guide rail being parallel to the output shaft of the first drive mechanism, and the roller being fixed on the outer side of the support frame in a rotationally connected manner.

[0007] This solution converts the rotation of the screw into the up and down displacement of the cutter disc by driving the screw mechanism, thus achieving automatic and precise adjustment of the cutter disc height. The sliding guide rails and rollers are set up to reduce the shaking and swaying of the cutter disc when it is raised and lowered, thereby maintaining balance. On the other hand, it can avoid obstacles caused by the adhesion of broken grass or mud, so that the cutter disc can be raised and lowered more smoothly, which is conducive to the long-term stable operation of the lawn mower.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assembly is provided with three guide mechanisms, and the screw mechanism and the three guide mechanisms are evenly distributed around the support frame. Arranging a plurality of guide mechanisms evenly distributed around the support frame is conducive to providing multi-directional support, so that the cutter disc can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

The fixed cover and the fixed seat are used to protect the driving mechanism, the support frame, the screw mechanism and the guide mechanism, effectively reducing the impact of vibration and collision on each component.

[0010] Furthermore, a bearing is installed between the screw and the top of the fixed cover and / or the fixed seat. The bearing provides support and lubrication, which is beneficial to the long-term stable operation of the lawn mower.

[0011] Further, the screw rod is a hollow screw rod, and a connecting portion is provided in its cavity; the second driving mechanism is arranged in the cavity of the screw rod, and its top is fixed on the top of the fixed cover through the top end of the screw rod, and its output shaft is in transmission connection with the connecting portion. By adopting an internal drive in the hollow screw rod, this internalized drive design can effectively avoid the bending deformation of the output shaft, is relatively safe, and is convenient for maintenance.

[0012] Further, the support frame is fixed on the fixed seat through a clamping structure, and the clamping structure includes a groove provided on the fixed seat and a convex portion provided on the support frame, and the two cooperate with each other to achieve clamping.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a lawn mower, which includes a body, a cutter head assembly and a lifting assembly. The cutter head assembly is installed on the lifting assembly, and the lifting assembly is installed on the body; the cutter head assembly includes a cutter head and a first driving mechanism, and the cutter head is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the first driving mechanism; the lifting assembly is the above-mentioned cutter head lifting assembly of the lawn mower.

[0014] Further, the body includes a chassis, and the middle part of the chassis bulges to form the fixed cover.

On the other hand, it can isolate the crushed grass or mud and prevent it from adhering to the output shaft of the first driving mechanism, thereby hindering the lifting.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] The cutter head lifting assembly of the lawn mower provided by the present invention uses a screw mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear displacement, combined with a multi-directional guiding mechanism, which not only reduces shaking and ensures stable lifting, but also avoids the obstruction caused by the adhesion of crushed grass or mud. At the same time, the internalized drive design enhances safety and maintenance convenience; in addition, the fixed cover and the fixed seat in the lifting assembly protect the core components and extend the service life. The overall solution not only optimizes the performance of the lawn mower, realizes the automatic, precise, smooth and flexible adjustment of the cutter head height, but also improves the stability and durability of the whole machine through an integrated design, providing a solid guarantee for efficient and smooth automatic lawn mowing operations.
