Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lawnmower equipment, specifically to a hydraulic oil circuit system for lawnmowers that prevents oil leakage due to excessive motor oil pressure. Background Technology

[0002] A lawnmower, also known as a lawn mower, lawn trimmer, or lawn mower, is a mechanical tool used to trim lawns, vegetation, and other vegetation. Current lawnmowers are typically towed by a tractor and trim the lawn along the tractor's path. The width of the mowing strip is equal to the width of the mowing device itself. When obstacles such as trees appear in front of the mowing path, the mowing device must avoid the trees, meaning the lawn around the trees cannot be effectively trimmed.

[0003] Currently, some lawnmowers on the market can swing sideways when encountering obstacles. However, due to the complexity of lawn terrain, existing side-swinging lawnmowers cannot effectively remove grass for various terrains, resulting in poor applicability. To address this, Chinese utility model patent application number 201721522072.8 discloses a terrain-following side-swinging lawnmower mechanism for lawnmowers, including a fixed frame, a rotating seat, a side-swinging mechanism, and a cutter head. The top of the cutter head is provided with a connecting seat, which is connected to the rotating seat via a connecting rod assembly. The connecting rod assembly includes a connecting rod, a telescopic rod, and a spring. The two ends of the connecting rod are hinged to the rotating seat and the connecting seat, respectively, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are hinged to the rotating seat and the connecting seat, respectively. The rotating seat, connecting rod, connecting seat, and telescopic rod form a parallelogram connection structure. The two ends of the spring are located at the diagonals of the parallelogram connection structure. The bottom of the cutter head is provided with blades and a turntable, with the height of the turntable lower than that of the blades. During operation, the blade head of this mowing mechanism is in a floating state, easily undulating according to the terrain. Combined with a rotating disc at the bottom of the blade head, it maintains a certain distance between the blades and the ground, ensuring the blade head consistently follows the terrain for optimal mowing results. The hydraulic motor of this mowing mechanism has three external pipes: a motor inlet pipe, a motor return pipe, and a motor drain pipe. During normal operation, the motor inlet pipe supplies oil to the motor, and the motor return pipe drains the oil flowing back from the motor's oil chamber. This converts the pressurized oil flowing through the hydraulic system into kinetic energy for the blade head, driving the blades mounted on the blade head to rotate at high speed. However, when the blade head encounters an obstacle, causing a sudden decrease in speed or a complete stop, the overflow valve at the outlet of the return pipe may not have had time to open. This causes a sudden increase in pressure within the motor's internal oil chamber. If the pressure exceeds the maximum pressure that the oil seal on the motor can withstand, the oil seal will rupture and fail, resulting in oil leakage from the motor. If the motor leaks oil, the machine needs to be stopped for repair, which severely restricts the mower's mowing efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a hydraulic circuit system for mowers to prevent oil leakage due to excessive motor oil pressure, aiming to solve the aforementioned problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a hydraulic circuit system for lawnmowers that prevents oil leakage due to excessive motor oil pressure. An accumulator is installed at the oil outlet of the motor's drain pipe and the oil outlet of the return channel inside the one-way valve seat via two T-joints. When the cutter head assembly encounters an obstacle, causing the cutter head speed to decrease instantaneously or stop, the hydraulic oil in the motor's internal oil chamber can flow back through the motor return pipe and / or the motor drain pipe and be buffered inside the accumulator. This avoids a sudden surge in oil pressure in the motor's internal oil chamber, reduces the risk of oil seal rupture and failure on the motor, extends the overall service life of the motor, and helps improve the lawnmower's mowing efficiency. The overall structural design is ingenious and reasonable, requiring minimal structural modifications compared to traditional lawnmower hydraulic circuit systems, and is highly feasible and practical.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design a hydraulic oil circuit system for a lawnmower that prevents oil leakage due to excessive motor oil pressure. The system includes an adjustment mechanism assembly and a cutter head assembly. A mounting base and a motor are mounted on the top of the cutter head assembly. The front end of the adjustment mechanism assembly is hinged to the mounting base. The output shaft of the motor is drively connected to the cutter head shaft, which is installed inside the central hole of the mounting base. An oil inlet pipe, a return pipe, and a drain pipe are installed externally on the motor and communicate with its internal oil chamber. A one-way valve seat is mounted on the adjustment mechanism assembly, and the one-way valve seat has an oil inlet channel and a return channel inside. The motor oil inlet pipe has an inlet end connected to an oil supply pipe via an oil inlet channel inside a one-way valve seat. The motor return oil pipe has an outlet end connected to the inlet end of the return oil channel inside the one-way valve seat. The outlet end of the return oil channel inside the one-way valve seat is connected to the inlet end of the return oil pipe and the outlet end of the motor drain pipe via a three-way connector. The inlet end of the oil supply pipe is connected to the oil supply port of the oil supply equipment. The outlet end of the return oil pipe is connected to the return port of the oil supply equipment via an overflow valve. The outlet end of the motor drain pipe is connected to one port of the three-way connector, and one port of the three-way connector is connected to an accumulator.

[0006] This utility model discloses a hydraulic circuit system for lawnmowers that prevents oil leakage due to excessive motor oil pressure. An accumulator is installed at the outlet of the motor's drain pipe and the outlet of the return oil channel inside the one-way valve seat via two T-joints. When the cutter head assembly encounters an obstacle, causing a momentary decrease or stop in the cutter head speed, the hydraulic oil in the motor's internal oil chamber can flow back through the motor return pipe and / or the motor drain pipe and be buffered inside the accumulator. This prevents a sudden surge in oil pressure in the motor's internal oil chamber, reduces the risk of oil seal rupture and failure, extends the overall service life of the motor, and helps improve the lawnmower's mowing efficiency. The overall structural design is ingenious and reasonable, requiring minimal structural modifications compared to traditional lawnmower hydraulic circuit systems, making it highly feasible and practical.

The reasonable distribution of the oil inlet, return, and drain ports on the outer wall of the motor ensures smoothness and convenience when connecting and installing the ends of the motor's oil inlet, return, and drain pipes to the corresponding ports on the outer wall of the motor.
