Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garden tool technology, and in particular to the adjustment push rod assembly of garden tools such as lawn combers, tillers and mowers. Background Technology
[0002] One category of garden tools is used for lawn management, commonly including lawn defoliators, lawn looseners, and lawn mowers. A lawn defoliator (also called a lawn aerator) uses wire claws in its assembly to remove dead leaves and other humus from the soil surface, improving the lawn's aeration. A lawn loosener is used to loosen the soil, improving the growing environment for plant roots. A lawn mower is generally used by users to trim lawns, making them smoother and more aesthetically pleasing. These devices are typically propelled by a handle (also called a push bar). For ease of storage and transport, the handle is usually telescopic and adjustable in length. When not in use or during transport, the handle is retracted close to the machine body to reduce its size and height; when in use, the handle is pulled out. To ensure user safety during operation (preventing the user's feet from touching the wire claws or blades under the machine while walking), the machine can only be started when the handle is fully extended. Chinese patent document CN207120188U discloses a telescopic push rod mechanism and a power tool having the same mechanism. The telescopic push rod mechanism is equipped with a switch protection device. During use, the micro switch is only triggered after the locking element is fully locked. The machine only starts when the main switch and the switch protection device are triggered together, greatly enhancing safety and preventing the machine from starting without locking the telescopic push rod, thus preventing accidental injury to the operator. The locking element is installed on the first push rod and abuts against the second rod when locked. This indicates that even in the retracted state, both the first and second push rods need to be locked and stored. Even with the locking element fully locking the telescopic push rod mechanism, the micro switch can still be triggered in this state, posing a safety hazard during transportation.

The cam portion 5-31 presses against the clamping block 5-4 from below, driving the clamping block 5-4 to move radially towards the telescopic rod 2. The clamping block 5-4 moves radially away from the telescopic rod 2 under its own weight. The clamping block 5-4 presses the corresponding parts of the telescopic rod 2, thus forming a fixed connection between the locking device 5 and the telescopic rod 2. A protruding latching portion 5-21 is provided on the upper side of the upper housing 5-2. An inwardly protruding buckle portion 5-32 is provided at the end of the locking handle 5-3 away from the cam portion 5-31.
