Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lawnmowers, and in particular to ride-on lawnmowers. Background Technology

[0002] Ride-on lawnmowers are equipped with sunshades to provide shade for users while mowing outdoors. However, the sunshades increase the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower, making it inconvenient to enter and exit when garage door lintels are low. They also make it difficult for the ride-on lawnmower to navigate some outdoor roads.

[0003] In existing technologies, sunshades are typically designed to be detachable, which lowers the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower. However, this detachable design is cumbersome in practice and negatively impacts the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a ride-on lawnmower to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, thereby solving the problem that the increased height of the ride-on lawnmower due to the sunshade increases its overall height and thus its poor maneuverability.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention proposes a riding lawnmower, comprising a lawnmower body and a sunshade support rod mounted on the lawnmower body. The sunshade support rod includes a first support rod and a second support rod. The first support rod is fixed to the lawnmower body, and the sunshade is mounted on the second support rod. The first support rod and the second support rod are slidably connected. The second support rod slides relative to the first support rod to be in a supported state or a flipped state. In the supported state, the second support rod is sleeved and fixed on the first support rod. In the flipped state, the second support rod rotates relative to the first support rod by a predetermined angle.

[0006] The riding lawnmower of this utility model has a sunshade support rod including a first support rod and a second support rod. Due to the sliding connection between the first support rod and the second support rod, the sliding of the second support rod can make the second support rod be in a fixed support state or a relatively rotatable flip state. The user only needs to push the second support rod to slide and flip the sunshade to lower the height of the riding lawnmower without disassembling the sunshade, which greatly improves the convenience of user operation.

[0007] Preferably, the second support rod is provided with a sleeve, the sleeve having a connecting cavity adapted to the diameter of the first support rod, and the first support rod and the sleeve being slidably connected through the connecting cavity.

[0008] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, a sleeve is installed on the second support rod. The sleeve can be circumferentially fitted with the first support rod, thereby improving the stability of the fixed connection between the first and second support rods in the supported state, thus improving the stability of the sunshade in the supported state and reducing the swaying of the sunshade when the ride-on lawnmower is moving.

[0009] Preferably, the first support rod is provided with a sliding shaft, and the sleeve is provided with a guide groove. The sliding shaft is limited to sliding in the guide groove. In the flipped state, the second support rod rotates around the axis of the sliding shaft.

[0010] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, a sliding shaft is set on the first support rod and a guide groove is set on the sleeve, so that the sliding shaft and the guide groove limit the sliding direction between the second support rod and the first support rod. In this way, the fitting clearance between the sleeve cavity and the first support rod can be appropriately increased, thereby making the sliding fit between the first support rod and the second support rod smoother and reducing the probability of the second support rod and the first support rod getting stuck.

[0011] Preferably, the sleeve is provided with a clearance notch for reversing.

[0012] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, by providing an avoidance notch on the sleeve, interference between the sleeve and the first support rod is avoided during the rotation of the second support rod, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the second support rod.

[0013] Preferably, both ends of the guide groove are closed.

[0014] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, on the one hand, the second support rod is always kept connected to the first support rod, avoiding the separation of the second support rod from the first support rod, which would make it difficult for the second support rod to return to the supporting state; on the other hand, the sliding distance of the second support rod relative to the first support rod is limited by the guide grooves closed at both ends. By observing the relative position of the sliding shaft in the guide groove, the user can clearly see whether the second support rod is in a flipped state, or whether the insertion and fixation of the second support rod and the first support rod are in place.

[0015] Preferably, the sliding shaft is detachably mounted on the first support rod.

[0016] Using the aforementioned technical solution, the sliding shaft is detachably connected to the first support rod. Disassembling the sliding shaft allows the second support rod to be detached from the first support rod. When the sunshade is not needed, the sunshade can be detached from the lawnmower body by disassembling the second support rod.

[0017] Preferably, in the supported state, the first support rod and the second support rod are connected to a positioning pin, which restricts the relative sliding of the first support rod and the second support rod.

[0018] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution and setting positioning pins, the relative movement of the first support rod and the second support rod in the supported state is restricted, thereby avoiding the relative movement of the sunshade relative to the mower body during the movement of the riding mower, thus improving the stability of the sunshade in the supported state and reducing the swaying of the sunshade when the riding mower is moving.

[0019] Preferably, the sunshade includes a mounting carrier and a sunshade rod disposed on the mounting carrier. The mounting carrier is mounted on the second support rod. The sunshade rod is used to support the sunshade cloth. The sunshade rod rotates relative to the mounting carrier to fold or open the sunshade, or the sunshade rod extends or retracts relative to the mounting carrier to fold or open the sunshade.

[0020] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the sunshade can be folded or opened by rotating or extending the sunshade rod. The sunshade can be folded while the sunshade support rod is flipped, thereby further reducing the height of the sunshade on the lawnmower body, and thus further reducing the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower.

[0021] Preferably, the sunshade is detachably connected to the second support rod, and the ride-on lawnmower also includes a storage component that replaces the sunshade and is mounted on the second support rod.

[0022] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the versatility of the ride-on lawnmower is improved by replacing the sunshade installed on the second support rod with the storage component, thereby further enhancing the user experience.

[0023] Preferably, the lawnmower body is provided with a support plate, which supports one end of the storage component, or the support plate is detachably connected to one end of the storage component.

[0024] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, a support plate is installed on the lawnmower body, which allows the storage component to be supported by the support plate, thereby improving the stability of the storage component on the riding lawnmower and reducing the shaking of the storage component when the riding lawnmower is moving.

[0025] These features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" or "several" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0040] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the riding lawnmower includes a lawnmower body 300 and a sunshade support rod 100 installed on the lawnmower body 300. The sunshade support rod 100 includes a first support rod 110 and a second support rod 120. The first support rod 110 is fixed on the lawnmower body 300, and the sunshade 200 of the riding lawnmower is installed on the second support rod 120. The first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 are slidably connected. The second support rod 120 slides relative to the first support rod 110 to be in a supported state or a flipped state. In the supported state, the second support rod 120 is sleeved and fixed on the first support rod 110. In the flipped state, the second support rod 120 rotates relative to the first support rod 110 by a predetermined angle.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first support rod 110 is vertically fixed to the lawnmower body 300 to reduce the lateral force on the first support rod 110. The second support rod 120 slides along the first support rod 110 toward the lawnmower body 300, so that there is sufficient engagement depth between the second support rod 120 and the first support rod 110, thereby placing the second support rod 120 in a supported state, at which time the second support rod 120 is vertical. The second support rod 120 slides away from the lawnmower body 300 to a predetermined position, so that the second support rod 120 is in a flipped state. In the flipped state, the second support rod 120 drives the sunshade 200 to flip backward, thereby lowering the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower.

[0043] When the user needs to lower the height of the ride-on lawnmower, they push the second support rod 120 to move away from the lawnmower body 300. When the second support rod 120 disengages from the first support rod 110, it pushes the sunshade 200 to flip, thus lowering the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower. When sunshade is needed, flipping the sunshade 200 puts the second support rod 120 and the first support rod 110 in a corresponding position where they can be interlocked, thus completing the fixed support of the sunshade 200.

[0044] The riding lawnmower of this utility model includes a sunshade support rod 100 comprising a first support rod 110 and a second support rod 120. Due to the sliding connection between the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120, the sliding of the second support rod 120 can allow the second support rod 120 to be in a fixed support state or a relatively rotatable flip state. The user only needs to push the second support rod 120 to slide and flip the sunshade 200 to lower the height of the riding lawnmower without disassembling the sunshade 200, greatly improving the convenience of user operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, a seat is mounted on the lawnmower body 300. Two first support rods 110 are provided, located on the left and right sides of the lawnmower body 300 behind the seat. Correspondingly, two second support rods 120 are provided, each connecting to one of the first support rods 110. A crossbeam is connected to the ends of the two second support rods 120 away from the lawnmower body 300, thus connecting the two second support rods 120 to form a whole, and allowing them to slide or rotate synchronously relative to the two first support rods 110. A sunshade 200 is mounted on the two second support rods 120.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the supported state, positioning pins 130 are inserted into the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120, and the positioning pins 130 restrict the relative sliding between the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120.

[0047] Specifically, the insertion direction of the positioning pin 130 forms an angle with the relative sliding direction of the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120, thereby restricting the relative sliding of the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120. In this embodiment, the positioning pin 130 is vertically inserted into the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120.

[0048] The first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 are respectively provided with insertion holes, and the positioning pin 130 is inserted into the insertion holes. One of the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 may be provided with multiple insertion holes, so that the second support rod 120 can be matched with the first support rod 110 in different positions, thereby adjusting the height of the sunshade 200.

[0049] By setting the positioning pin 130, the relative movement of the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 in the supported state is restricted, thereby avoiding the relative movement of the sunshade 200 relative to the mower body 300 during the movement of the riding mower, thus improving the stability of the sunshade 200 in the supported state and reducing the swaying of the sunshade 200 when the riding mower is moving.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second support rod 120 is provided with a sleeve 122, which has a sleeve cavity adapted to the rod diameter of the first support rod 110. The first support rod 110 and the sleeve 122 are slidably sleeved through the sleeve cavity.

[0051] The second support rod 120 includes a second support rod body 121 and a sleeve 122, and the second support rod body 121 and the sleeve 122 are fixedly connected. The fixed connection can be welding, or it can be connected by fasteners or snap-fit.

[0052] By setting a sleeve 122 on the second support rod 120, the sleeve 122 can be sleeved and fitted with the first support rod 110 in a circumferential manner, thereby improving the stability of the fixed sleeve connection between the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 in the supported state, thereby improving the stability of the sunshade 200 in the supported state and reducing the swaying of the sunshade 200 when the riding lawnmower is walking.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first support rod 110 is provided with a sliding shaft 111, and the sleeve 122 is provided with a guide groove 123. The sliding shaft 111 is slidably limited in the guide groove 123. In the flipped state, the second support rod 120 rotates around the axis of the sliding shaft 111.

[0054] A guide groove 123 is provided on the sleeve 122 to slide in conjunction with the sliding shaft 111. When the second support rod 120 slides relative to the first support rod 110, the sliding shaft 111 slides in the guide groove 123. When the second support rod 120 rotates around the axis of the sliding shaft 111, the guide groove 123 rotates relative to the sliding shaft 111.

[0055] By setting a sliding shaft 111 on the first support rod 110 and a guide groove 123 on the sleeve 122, the sliding shaft 111 and the guide groove 123 limit the sliding direction between the second support rod 120 and the first support rod 110. In this way, the fitting clearance between the sleeve cavity and the first support rod 110 can be appropriately increased, thereby making the sliding fit between the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 smoother and reducing the probability of the second support rod 120 and the first support rod 110 getting stuck.

[0056] In this embodiment, guide grooves 123 are provided on both sides of the sleeve 122, and the two ends of the sliding shaft 111 are respectively slidably limited in the two guide grooves 123.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the sleeve tube 122 may only have a guide groove 123, one end of the sliding shaft 111 is slidably limited in the guide groove 123, and the other end of the sliding shaft 111 is located in the first support rod 110 or housed in the sleeve cavity.

[0058] It is understood that providing a sleeve 122 on the first support rod 110 and a sliding shaft 111 on the second support rod 120 is a simple variation of this embodiment, and this technical solution also falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the guide groove 123 is closed at both ends. In the supported state, the sliding shaft 111 is located at one end of the guide groove 123; in the flipped state, the sliding groove is located at the other end of the guide groove 123. In this way, the guide groove 123 limits the sliding distance of the sliding shaft 111, thereby also limiting the sliding distance of the second support rod 120 relative to the first support rod 110. Furthermore, in the flipped state, the second support rod 120 is rotatably connected to the first support rod 110 through the cooperation of the sliding shaft 111 and the guide groove 123, and the second support rod 120 does not disengage from the first support rod 110.

[0060] With the above configuration, on the one hand, the second support rod 120 is always connected to the first support rod 110, avoiding the separation of the second support rod 120 from the first support rod 110, which would make it difficult for the second support rod 120 to return to the supporting state; on the other hand, the guide groove 123 with its two ends closed limits the sliding distance of the second support rod 120 relative to the first support rod 110. By observing the relative position of the sliding shaft 111 in the guide groove 123, the user can clearly see whether the second support rod 120 is in a flipped state, or whether the second support rod 120 and the first support rod 110 are properly inserted and fixed.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 122 is provided with a clearance notch 124 for reversing. The clearance notch 124 on the sleeve 122 ensures that when the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 are in the reversed state, the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120 maintain the same sleeve connection in a local position.

[0062] By providing an avoidance notch 124 on the sleeve 122, interference between the sleeve 122 and the first support rod 110 is avoided during the flipping of the second support rod 120, thus improving the smoothness of the flipping of the second support rod 120.

[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the sliding shaft 111 is detachably mounted on the first support rod 110.

[0064] In this embodiment, the sliding shaft 111 has a shaft body, one end of which is provided with a shaft cap, and the other end of which is screwed with a nut. The shaft body passes through the first support rod 110 and is installed on the first support rod 110 by the shaft caps and nuts at both ends. By removing the nuts, the sliding shaft 111 can be removed from the first support rod 110.

[0065] The sliding shaft 111 is detachably connected to the first support rod 110. The second support rod 120 can be removed from the first support rod 110 by removing the sliding shaft 111. When the sunshade 200 is not needed, the sunshade 200 can be removed from the lawnmower body 300 by removing the second support rod 120.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the sunshade 200 includes a mounting carrier 210 and a sunshade rod 220 disposed on the mounting carrier 210. The mounting carrier 210 is mounted on the second support rod 120. The sunshade rod 220 is used to support the sunshade cloth. The sunshade rod 220 can rotate relative to the mounting carrier 210 to fold or open the sunshade 200, or the sunshade rod 220 can extend or retract relative to the mounting carrier 210 to fold or open the sunshade 200.

[0067] Specifically, the rotational folding or opening mechanism of the awning 200 can be referenced to Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN202970107U, entitled "Retractable A-frame Awning 200"; the telescopic folding or opening mechanism of the awning 200 can be referenced to Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN2271580Y, entitled "Improved Structure Telescopic Awning 200". The folding mechanism of the awning 200 can also be referenced to other applications or patents of the applicant.

[0068] The sunshade 200 can be folded or opened by rotating the sunshade rod 220, or the sunshade 200 can be folded or opened by extending or retracting the sunshade rod 220. This allows the sunshade 200 to be folded when the sunshade support rod 100 is flipped, thereby further reducing the height of the sunshade 200 on the lawnmower body 300, and thus further reducing the overall height of the ride-on lawnmower.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the sunshade 200 is detachably connected to the second support rod 120. The ride-on lawnmower also includes a storage component 400, which replaces the sunshade 200 and is installed on the second support rod 120.

[0070] Among them, the storage component 400 can be a storage compartment, a grass collection bag, or a water tank, etc.

[0071] By replacing the sunshade 200 mounted on the second support rod 120 with the storage component 400, the versatility of the ride-on lawnmower is improved, further enhancing the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the lawnmower body 300 is provided with a support plate 301, which is detachably connected to one end of the storage component 400.

[0073] In this embodiment, the support plate 301 is a trailer hook plate located at the rear of the lawnmower body 300. The trailer hook plate has hook holes, and the storage component 400 has a support member. The support member is detachably connected to the hook holes of the trailer hook plate by fasteners.

[0074] In another embodiment, the lawnmower body 300 is provided with a support plate 301, which supports one end of the storage component 400.

[0075] In this embodiment, the support plate 301 is located at the rear of the lawnmower body 300 and is supported at the bottom of the storage component 400.

[0076] By providing a support plate 301 on the lawnmower body 300, the storage component 400 can be supported by the support plate 301, thereby improving the stability of the storage component 400 on the riding lawnmower and reducing the shaking of the storage component 400 when the riding lawnmower is moving.

[0077] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the content described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above.
