[0033] In the embodiment, the arm swinging drive 4 and the head swinging drive 5 are in the form of hydraulic oil cylinders, the bump bar detection module 7 is a Hall rotation sensor (prior art) arranged at the hinge shaft, for detecting a corresponding voltage change signal when the bump bar 6 rotates around the hinge shaft with the grass hitting head 3 after encountering an obstacle and transmitting the signal to the controllers of the arm swinging drive 4 and the head swinging drive 5; the arm swing detection module 8 is a Hall rotation sensor (prior art) arranged at the connection between the working arm assembly 2 and the base 1, for transmitting a signal to the controllers of the arm swinging drive 4 and the head swinging drive 5 to trigger the control of the arm swinging drive 4 and the head swinging drive 5 when the working arm assembly 2 swings to the preset angle. In other embodiments, the bump bar detection module 7 can also adopt an encoder or any other device capable of detecting a rotating signal, and the arm swing detection module 8 can also adopt an encoder or any other device capable of detecting a signal of swinging to a preset angle.
[0034] In the working state, the grass hitting head 3 hits grass when the machine moves forward.
