The roller 413 is installed at the end of the connector 412.

[0043] The specific principles of trimming and cleaning are as follows:

[0044] Mecanum wheels 6 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the vehicle body 201. Mecanum wheels 6 enable the vehicle body to move flexibly to the side or rotate. The motor drives the connecting shaft 101 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 101 drives the eccentric wheel 102 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 102 transmits the motion to the bushing 105 on the fixed frame 104 through the connecting rod 103. The cutter part is connected to the bushing 105 through the telescopic rod 106 to realize the up and down movement of the cutter part. The cutter part is fixed by the cutter base 107. The motor drives the rotating cutter disc 109 to rotate in the motor base 108 to realize the trimming action. Finally, all parts cooperate with each other to realize the trimming of the fixed trajectory on the side plane.

[0045] Motor 203 drives top link 204 to swing. Top link 204 transmits motion to slider 206 through link 205, realizing horizontal movement of slider 206 and its connecting parts. Robotic arm 207 is connected to slider 206. Different positions of robotic arm 207 can realize operation of the cutter part at different positions. Rotary cutter head 209 is connected to robotic arm 207 through motor base 208 and driven by the motor in motor base 208 to realize trimming. Finally, all parts cooperate to realize trimming of the fixed trajectory on the upper plane.

[0046] In actual cleaning processes, as trimming proceeds, dust particles generated may affect the operation of the transmission mechanism. For example, the lead screw mechanism commonly used for lifting can experience repeated wear after dust particles enter the lead screw, leading to increased power consumption. Therefore, this application adopts the following lifting structure for the lifting of the cleaning brush 309. The lifting structure of this utility model is only subjected to force during the upward movement, resulting in low power consumption and long-term use.

[0047] Specifically, the motor drives the cam 305 to rotate via the rotating shaft 304. The long handle of the cam 305 contacts the lower plane of the upper triangular protrusion of the second slider 301, lifting the second slider 301. The side connecting rod 302 can rotate around the rotating shaft 303. The upper plane of the lower triangular protrusion of the raised second slider 301 can rotate the side connecting rod 302. Due to the tension of the spring 307, after the lower triangular protrusion of the second slider 301 leaves the side connecting rod 302, the side connecting rod 302 will return to its vertical position. The lower triangular protrusion of the raised second slider 301 will fall to the protrusion of the side connecting rod 302, realizing the lifting action. When the short handle of the cam 305 contacts the short handle of the side connecting rod 302, the side connecting rod 302 will be subjected to force and rotate around the rotating shaft 303. At this time, the second slider 301 loses support and falls, realizing the lowering action.

[0048] The cleaning brush 309 is connected to the slider 301 via a fixing component, and moves up and down with the slider 301. It is also driven to rotate by the motor 308. All parts work together to complete the side cleaning action, sweeping the branches and leaves on both sides into the bottom of the vehicle for collection by the subsequent device.

[0049] Motor 408 drives screw 410 to rotate via coupling 409. Screw 410 transmits motion to a fixed component connected to roller 413 via flange 411 and connector 412, thereby driving roller 413 to move up and down. The roller rotates via motor to achieve cleaning. Fan 405 inside protective cover 404 is fixed inside collection cover 403, which is connected to the vehicle body via fastener 401. Motor 402 drives fan 404 to rotate, generating a pressure difference that draws broken branches and leaves into conveying pipe 407. The broken branches and leaves are then conveyed to collection box 414 via conveying pipe 407, and exhaust box 406 exhausts the air, thus achieving the collection of branches and leaves.

[0050] Although the specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
