Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a self-moving device with a cutter disc height adjustment knob, belonging to the technical field of electric tools. Background Art

[0002] Lawn mowers are widely used power tools for trimming lawns to maintain a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. During mowing, users often need to adjust the cutting height based on lawn conditions and personal preference. Cutting height is defined as the distance between the blades and the ground. Traditionally, lawn mowers have adjusted the cutting height by adjusting the position of the wheel axle relative to the base. While this method achieves height adjustment, it has limitations due to its complex structure and inconvenient assembly.

[0003] To simplify operation and improve user experience, modern lawn mowers often use height adjustment buttons or knobs instead of traditional axle adjustment methods. However, existing height adjustment knobs on the market have some shortcomings. First, after using these height adjustment devices to adjust the height, they usually protrude from the lawn mower body, which not only affects the overall aesthetics of the equipment but also increases the space required for packaging and transportation. Second, the exposed height adjustment knob can cause the mowing height to change due to accidental contact during operation, which in turn affects the consistency and quality of the lawn mowing effect.
