Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to a lightweight swing arm lawn mower. Background Technology

[0002] Existing lawn mowing equipment is widely used in agriculture, forestry, and roadside greening. Common lawn mowers mainly rely on tractors for power and use rotating blades to cut grass on the ground. However, existing technologies still have many shortcomings in practical applications, especially in terms of mowing efficiency, forage handling, safety, and the rationality of equipment structure. They are difficult to meet the needs of modern agriculture for efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe lawn mowing operations.

[0003] First, most existing lawn mowing equipment adopts a split structure design, and the connection between the transmission system, the blade assembly and the grass guiding device is not tight. Resonance or structural shaking can easily occur during the mowing process, affecting the stability of operation and the effect of grass spreading. Some equipment lacks a scientific grass guiding structure, and grass fragments are scattered and messy during the mowing process, which not only pollutes the environment, but also easily causes grass to block the working area, affecting the ability to work continuously.

[0004] Secondly, for work scenarios with large terrain undulations, existing equipment generally lacks dynamic adjustment capabilities. Although some products are equipped with lifting cylinders, the adjustment range is small, the control precision is low, and key supporting devices such as hydraulic locks and safety valves are lacking. Once an obstacle is encountered during operation or the hydraulic system pressure suddenly increases, the equipment is prone to instability or hydraulic runaway, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0005] In addition, traditional equipment often uses a simple connection method in the design of the swing arm structure, which cannot effectively position the swing arm angle. It is easy to deviate during operation, affecting the mowing angle and stability. The lack of structural reinforcement and lubrication protection measures also makes the equipment prone to problems such as swing arm loosening and lubrication failure during long-term use, affecting its service life.

[0006] In summary, existing lawnmowers still have significant shortcomings in terms of structural integration, mowing and forage processing efficiency, terrain adaptability, safety control systems, and arm stability. There is an urgent need for a new type of lawnmower that is compact, functionally complete, highly adaptable, and equipped with multiple safety protection mechanisms to improve operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance operational stability.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, the hydraulic lock maintains the cylinder pressure when the lawnmower is stopped or stationary, preventing the mowing mechanism from sliding down unexpectedly and improving operational safety.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the machine body is connected to various functional components such as rollers, hoes, and hydraulic systems through standardized connection methods such as welding, bolts, and pins, forming an integrated unit.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Reference Figure 1-8A lightweight swing-arm lawnmower includes a body 3 and an integrated cover 2. The body 3 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the entire device, made of high-strength steel and fixed to the base by welding and high-strength bolts. It effectively supports all transmission, hydraulic, and control components, ensuring good working performance and more environmentally friendly fuel consumption. The integrated cover 2 is located around the blade 10 and is made of a material with high rigidity and low vibration. Its overall structure adopts an integrated design, partially covering the blade 10. This prevents grass clippings from flying randomly and allows the cut grass clippings to be thrown backwards towards the drum 1 in a predetermined direction, thereby eliminating grass clogging in the working area and preventing grass from adhering to the drum surface and accumulating, ensuring long-term continuous operation. The drum 1 is located at the rear of the body 3, and its outer side is fixed to the side of the lawnmower by a drum mounting plate 11. It achieves automatic self-alignment with the help of a spherical self-aligning bearing 12, ensuring that the drum maintains the optimal working angle during the mowing process. The hoe 10 is mounted on the blade shaft 101 and driven by a belt drive system consisting of an upper belt 13 and a lower belt 14. When the hoe 10 rotates at high speed, it cuts and tills the grass and directly disperses some of the grass. At the same time, a rubber mudguard 15 is installed on the outside of the hoe 10 and blade shaft assembly to block mud and grass fragments splashed during operation, ensuring the cleanliness and normal operation of the transmission components. One end of the swing arm 7 is connected to the machine body 3. An integrated positioning plate 9 is provided at the connection between the machine body 3 and the swing arm 7. Its structure is a hollow plate with a central hole for fitting a large pin shaft. Positioning pin holes are opened on both sides and it is fixed to the machine body frame with bolts to achieve precise locking of the swing arm and ensure that the swing arm stably reaches the predetermined swing angle during operation. The opposite ends of the swing arm 7 are provided with a triangular welding area 71 to improve the stress stability. At the same time, an oil cup groove 72 is designed to protect the lubricating oil cup and ensure the normal supply of lubricating oil.

[0032] To enable dynamic adjustment of the work platform, this embodiment is equipped with a body lifting cylinder 5. One end of the cylinder is fixedly installed on the outside of the body 3, and the other end is connected to the upper crescent plate welded part 16. The hydraulic action enables the body or mowing mechanism to operate at different angles and slopes. During the lifting and lowering process, the hydraulic lock 6 plays a safety pressure-maintaining role to prevent hydraulic runaway.

[0033] Safety valve 4 is installed on the suspension beam above swing arm 7. When the lifting cylinder of the machine body encounters an obstacle during operation, causing the system pressure to rise abnormally, safety valve 4 will automatically open to achieve overflow unloading and provide necessary safety protection. At the same time, speed control valve 8 is set on the hydraulic pipeline to regulate the hydraulic flow, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering speed.

[0034] In this embodiment, standardized connection structures are used between the components. For example, the machine body 3 serves as an integral fixed platform and is tightly connected to the hydraulic system, transmission system, and mowing components through welding, bolts, and pins to form a coordinated mowing system. This system not only has good working effect but also significantly reduces fuel consumption, achieving environmentally friendly operation. At the same time, the integrated machine cover 2 ensures that the mowed grass can be thrown behind the drum 1, preventing grass blockage and maintaining continuous operation.

[0035] When using the lawnmower, it is first connected to the tractor through the front connecting mechanism. The tractor's PTO output shaft is connected to the transmission system of this device and the power output is started. At the same time, the hydraulic system of the tractor is connected to the hydraulic control system of this machine through the hydraulic oil pipe to ensure that the actuators such as the body lifting cylinder 5 have driving force. After starting the hydraulic system, the mowing mechanism is adjusted to a suitable working height or angle through the body lifting cylinder 5 to adapt to different slopes and terrains.

[0036] With power output, the PTO drives the upper belt 13 and lower belt 14 to rotate the cutter shaft 101 at high speed, thereby driving the hoe blade 10 to cut and till the grass. During operation, the swing angle of the swing arm 7 is controlled by the integrated positioning plate 9 located below it. The integrated positioning plate 9 is fixed to the machine body 3 by bolts. The hollow structure of the plate has a large pin shaft, and the positioning holes in the middle and on both sides ensure that the swing arm is stable at the specified angle to prevent deviation or shaking. If an obstacle is encountered or the resistance suddenly increases during the operation of the equipment, the system pressure will rise, and the safety valve 4 will automatically open to realize the overflow unloading protection system. At the same time, the hydraulic lock 6 maintains the cylinder pressure during lifting or lowering to prevent the mowing mechanism from accidentally sliding down and improve the safety of operation. After the operation is completed, the speed control valve 8 slowly controls the return of the cylinder to return the mowing mechanism to the starting position. After the equipment stops running.
