The aircraft body 8 has its own power and power management mode. When the battery is fully charged, the charging function will be automatically turned off. The aircraft body 8 has an intelligent fixed-height hovering function, an obstacle avoidance function (ultrasonic ranging and obstacle avoidance sensor, such as an ultrasonic sensor), a preset flight area function, a one-button take-off and landing / automatic take-off and landing function, and the aircraft body 8 is equipped with a high-precision The camera and sensor are used for aerial photography and data collection of the mowing area. The aircraft body 8 is equipped with a high-precision positioning device to provide a more stable positioning signal for the lawn mower. The aircraft body 8 is provided with a path planning module. According to the positioning data provided by the aircraft system, advanced path planning algorithms (such as A* algorithm, Dijkstra algorithm, etc.) are used to plan the optimal mowing path for the lawn mower. Two pneumatic rods 11 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cabin 7. The telescopic ends of the two pneumatic rods 11 are fixedly connected to a lower plate 10. The lower plate 10 is magnetic, and the placement plate 14 is made of iron metal material.

[0025] Among them, a data processing module is provided in the lawn mower body 1, which is used to receive images and data transmitted by the aircraft system and generate a detailed map of the mowing area, including boundaries, obstacles and terrain features. Control signals and path information are transmitted between the aircraft body 8 and the lawn mower body 1 through wireless communication (such as ultrasonic communication, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a dedicated communication protocol). The lawn mower body 1 is also provided with a lawn mower control system: it receives control signals from the aircraft system, drives the lawn mower to move along the planned path, and adjusts the path according to real-time feedback; obstacle recognition and avoidance system: the aircraft system identifies obstacles on the ground through its onboard sensors, and adjusts the path of the lawn mower in real time to avoid these obstacles.

[0026] Among them, the left and right inner walls of the machine warehouse 7 are provided with contraction grooves, the notches of the two contraction grooves are provided with cover plates 2, the inner bottoms of the two contraction grooves are provided with vertical grooves, and the two contraction grooves are slidably connected with baffles 3. The opposite sides of the two baffles 3 are provided with threaded holes, and the inner walls of the opposite sides of the two contraction grooves are rotatably connected with threaded rods 4. The two threaded rods 4 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the corresponding threaded holes, and the inner walls of the opposite sides of the two vertical grooves are rotatably connected with a cross bar 6. The cross bar 6 runs through the machine warehouse 7, and the cross bar 6 and the two threaded rods 4 are connected by two transmission assemblies 5. The transmission assembly 5 includes a sprocket arranged on the cross bar 6 and the threaded rod 4. The two sprockets are connected by chain transmission. The lower end of the lower plate 10 is fixedly connected with a rack 12, and the cross bar 6 is provided with a gear 13 that matches the rack 12.

[0027] Among them, a battery compartment 16 is installed on the rear side of the lawn mower body 1, and a rechargeable battery is installed in the battery compartment 16. A socket 17 is provided on the battery compartment 16. Two contacts 9 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the aircraft body 8, and two conductive metal strips are provided at the upper end of the placement plate 14. The two conductive metal strips are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery through wires.

[0028] The functional principle of the present invention can be explained through the following operation mode: when the lawn mower body 1 starts the working mode, the aircraft body 8 flies out of the machine chamber 7, and the aircraft body 8 can take aerial photos and collect data of the mowing area, and then plan a reasonable mowing path based on the collected data information and transmit it to the lawn mower body 1; when the lawn mower body 1 is low on power or has finished working, the aircraft body 8 returns to the machine chamber 7, and the staff inserts the plug into the jack 17 to charge the lawn mower body 1 and the aircraft body 8;

[0029] After the aircraft body 8 lands on the placement plate 14, the pneumatic rod 11 is controlled to retract, so that the lowering plate 10 drives the placement plate 14 to move downward, thereby causing the aircraft body 8 to move downward. When the placement plate 14 contacts the two first limit blocks 15, the rack 12 engages with the gear 13, and the pneumatic rod 11 continues to retract. At this time, the cross bar 6 rotates to drive the two threaded rods 4 to rotate, causing the two baffles 3 to move relative to each other, closing the hatch of the cabin 7. Example 2

[0030] Reference Figures 4-5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that both contact blocks 9 are provided with through openings, the upper end of the placement plate 14 is fixedly connected to two limit boxes 21 and two fixed blocks 18, the adjacent sides of the two fixed blocks 18 are fixedly connected to two electric telescopic rods 19, and the telescopic ends of each two matching electric telescopic rods 19 are commonly fixedly connected to a second limit block 20, and the two second limit blocks 20 both pass through the corresponding through openings and extend into the limit box 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the aircraft body 8 is located in the machine room 7, the two electric telescopic rods 19 are in a stretched state, and the two second limit blocks 20 are both located in the limit box 21 after passing through the corresponding through openings, limiting the aircraft body 8 to prevent the aircraft body 8 from shaking and colliding when transporting the lawn mowing robot. When the aircraft body 8 is lifted out of the machine room, the staff controls the two electric telescopic rods 19 to retract, so that the two second limit blocks 20 move away from each other, disengage from the through opening, and release the limit on the aircraft body 8.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
