[0007] According to one aspect of the utility model, one end of the gear lever is fixedly connected with the driving blade base, and the other end is a toothed disc.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, the transmission assembly includes a direct drive gear; the direct drive gear is connected to the drive shaft of a drive motor and meshes with a gear plate.

[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, the electric blade assembly further includes a limiting mechanism; the limiting mechanism includes two limiting posts.

[0010] According to one aspect of the present invention, the blade bases are arranged in a straight line.

[0011] According to one aspect of this utility model, starting from the active blade base, the length of the linkage arm gradually decreases along the length direction of the linkage rod.

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, a blade connecting seat is provided on the blade base; the sub-blade is fixedly connected to the blade base through the blade connecting seat.

[0013] According to one aspect of this utility model, the sub-blade is made of a flexible material.

[0014] Advantages of this utility model:
