Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lawnmower technology, specifically a tracked modular intelligent orchard lawnmower. Background Technology

[0002] Orchard mowing equipment is mainly divided into manual mowing tools and traditional mechanical mowers. Manual mowing tools, such as sickles, are flexible to operate but extremely inefficient, require a lot of manpower, and are labor-intensive, making them unsuitable for mowing large-scale orchards. Traditional mechanical mowers, some of which use wheeled structures, have poor stability when traveling and operating in complex orchard terrain (such as steep slopes, uneven ground, and numerous obstacles), and are prone to slipping and tipping over, making them unsuitable for the actual environment of orchards. Although some mechanical mowers have certain automation functions, they lack intelligent path planning capabilities, requiring frequent manual intervention during operation, making operation cumbersome and inefficient.

[0003] In addition, most existing lawnmowers have limited functions and lack modular design, making it difficult to achieve multiple uses and resulting in poor expandability and versatility. Most lawnmowers use a single power drive method, with pure fuel-powered lawnmowers consuming a lot of fuel, incurring high operating costs, and producing a large amount of exhaust gas, which pollutes the orchard environment. Pure electric-powered lawnmowers have insufficient range and cannot meet the needs of long-term continuous operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tracked modular intelligent orchard mower to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A tracked modular intelligent orchard mower includes a frame, on which a tracked moving module, a shell, an intelligent control system, a mowing device, a disassembly panel, and a support platform are mounted. The top of the frame is covered with an aluminum alloy shell. The tracked moving module is located outside the frame and includes a motor, a lithium battery, and tracks. Drive wheels and rotating wheels are located on both sides of the frame, with tracks connecting the drive wheels and rotating wheels. The shell houses the lithium battery and the motor, which drive the motor's rotation. The drive end of the motor is connected to the drive wheels.

[0007] The mowing device includes a gasoline engine, a rotating shaft, and blades. The rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the frame, and multiple blades are installed outside the rotating shaft. The gasoline engine is located inside the frame, and a transmission belt is installed between the gasoline engine and the rotating shaft. The blades cut the weeds by rotating at high speed.

[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions:

[0009] In one alternative: the top of the housing is provided with an observation hole, which includes a first observation hole and a second observation hole, the first observation hole being located above the lithium battery and the second observation hole being located above the gasoline engine.

[0010] In one alternative: the top of the housing is provided with an intelligent control module, which includes a GPS positioning system, a gyroscope sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a microprocessor.

[0011] In one alternative: a connecting component is provided between the detachable panel and the housing, the connecting component including bolts and clips.

[0012] In one alternative: the top of the outer shell is provided with a carrying platform for transporting goods.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The tracked modular intelligent orchard mower can travel stably on complex orchard terrain, avoiding the slippage and tipping problems of wheeled structures, thus improving the safety and reliability of the equipment in orchard operations. Through the intelligent control module, it realizes automatic path planning and remote control operation, reducing manual intervention, improving mowing efficiency and operation accuracy, and improving the operating efficiency of the mower.

[0015] 2. The modular design enables multiple uses for one machine. In addition to the mowing function, the tracks can be used as a separate transport platform, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment and reduces the purchase cost of orchard equipment. The hybrid drive system of lithium battery motor and gasoline, in which the lithium battery motor drives the tracks, features low noise and zero emissions, reducing the impact on the orchard environment, while the gasoline engine drives the mowing device, ensuring strong mowing power and solving the problem of insufficient range of pure electric lawnmowers.

[0016] 3. The observation holes on the outer casing allow operators to monitor the internal condition of the equipment in real time, enabling them to promptly identify and resolve problems. The replaceable blade design of the mowing device makes maintenance simpler and more convenient, reducing equipment maintenance costs and time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the drawings and description, similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals, and in practical applications, the shape, thickness, or height of each component may be enlarged or reduced. The embodiments listed in this utility model are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious modifications or changes made to this utility model do not depart from its spirit and scope.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a tracked modular intelligent orchard mower includes a frame 10, on which a tracked moving module, a shell 2, an intelligent control system 4, a mowing device 6, a disassembly panel 7, and a support platform 8 are mounted. The shell 2 is made of aluminum alloy, which has low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Its high strength can withstand various external forces during the operation of the mower, such as its own weight, the impact force generated by bumpy travel, and the reaction force when the mowing device is working, thus protecting the internal modules. Its corrosion resistance can adapt to complex environments such as humid orchards with pesticides, extending the service life of the mower and providing a stable mounting frame for the internal modules.

[0024] The frame 10 is externally equipped with a tracked movement module, which includes a motor, a lithium battery 9, and tracks 1. Drive wheels 11 and rotating wheels 12 are located on both sides of the frame 10, with the tracks 1 positioned between them. The outer casing 2 houses the lithium battery 9 and the motor. The lithium battery 9 drives the motor to rotate, and the motor's drive end is connected to the drive wheels 11. The motor is connected to the tracks 1 via a transmission device. The motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, driving the tracks 1. The tracks 1 generate friction with the ground, allowing the lawnmower to move across the complex terrain of the orchard. Simultaneously, the motor speed and direction can be precisely adjusted via a motor controller, enabling precise control of the track speed and direction, allowing the lawnmower to move and turn flexibly within the orchard.

[0025] The mowing device 6 includes a gasoline engine 13, a rotating shaft, and blades. The rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the frame 10, and multiple blades are installed outside the rotating shaft. The gasoline engine 13 is located inside the frame 10, and a transmission belt is installed between the gasoline engine 13 and the rotating shaft. The blades cut weeds by rotating at high speed. The blades are designed to be replaceable. When the blades are worn, they can be replaced by simple disassembly and installation to ensure the cutting effect of the mowing device.

[0026] The tracked modular intelligent orchard mower includes a tracked movement module, a high-strength aluminum alloy exterior 2, an observation hole, an intelligent control system 4, a power system, a mowing device 6, a disassembly panel 7, and a support platform 8. The observation hole is used to observe the working status of the power system, such as the operating status of the gasoline engine 13 and whether there are any signs of malfunction. The gasoline engine in the power system works based on the principle of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. Through four strokes—intake, compression, power, and exhaust—it converts the heat energy generated by gasoline combustion into mechanical energy, providing a powerful power output to the mowing device. This drives the blades of the mowing device 6 to rotate at high speed and cut weeds. As an example, the left, right, up, and down positions of the various components shown in the attached drawings are only one arrangement method. The specific positions are set according to specific needs.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the outer shell 2 is provided with an observation hole, and a transparent protective cover is installed at the observation hole. The transparent material allows the operator to directly observe the status of internal components such as the lithium battery, such as the lithium battery power display and whether there are any abnormalities such as leakage. The lithium battery serves as the power source for the tracked mobile module, providing power for the movement of the lawnmower. The observation hole includes a first observation hole 3 and a second observation hole 5. The first observation hole 3 is located above the lithium battery 9, and the second observation hole 5 is located above the gasoline engine 13.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the outer shell 2 is equipped with an intelligent control module 4. The intelligent control module 4 includes a GPS positioning system, a gyroscope sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a microprocessor. The GPS positioning system determines the specific location of the lawnmower in the orchard by receiving satellite signals and using the principle of triangulation. The gyroscope sensor monitors the lawnmower's attitude and tilt angle in real time based on the principle of conservation of angular momentum. The ultrasonic sensor calculates the distance and position information of the lawnmower to surrounding obstacles by emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves and based on the propagation time and speed of the sound waves. The microprocessor, as the core, analyzes and processes the data collected by each sensor, combines it with the preset lawnmower task, uses a path planning algorithm to automatically plan the optimal lawnmower path, and sends control commands to the tracked movement module and the lawnmower device 6 to realize the intelligent operation of the lawnmower.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the disassembly panel 7 is connected to the high-strength aluminum alloy shell 2 by bolts, clips and other connecting components. When maintenance, repair or module replacement is required inside the lawnmower, the operator can remove the disassembly panel 7 to easily and quickly access internal components such as lithium batteries, intelligent control systems, and power systems, thereby improving the maintainability and expandability of the equipment.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the carrying platform 8 is based on the modular design concept. Its principle is to use the mobility provided by the tracked mobile module to fix the materials on the carrying platform through the fixing device, so that the lawnmower can be transformed into a transportation tool, realizing multiple uses of one machine and improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0031] The above embodiments of this utility model provide a tracked modular intelligent orchard mower. The mower shell is made of aluminum alloy, which combines high strength and lightweight characteristics. The track 1 is made of rubber with an embedded metal frame to enhance wear resistance and strength. The lithium battery is a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 48V / 20Ah, providing stable power output. The gasoline engine is a single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine with a power of 3kW, which meets the power requirements of the mowing device. The intelligent control module uses an STM32 microprocessor as the core controller, combined with a high-precision GPS positioning module, an MPU6050 gyroscope sensor, and an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor.

[0032] Before mowing, set the mowing area and operating mode (automatic or manual) using the remote control. In automatic mode, the intelligent control module automatically plans the path based on GPS positioning and sensor data, controlling the tracked walking mechanism and mowing device to perform the operation. In manual mode, the user can directly control the movement of the lawnmower and the start and stop of the mowing device via the remote control. When the tracked platform needs to be used as a transport platform, first turn off the lawnmower power, disassemble the mowing device and other related modules, install the carrying platform and fixing device on the track, and then the material transport work can be carried out.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
