In this embodiment, three blades 6 are provided on the top and bottom of the cutter disc 3. The drive device is used to drive the mowing assembly 2 to cut the grass. In the above structure, the drive device is a drive motor 8. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 is connected to a cutterhead mounting seat 81. The blades 4 are mounted on the cutterhead mounting seat 81 and locked by screws 82. The cutterhead 3 is mounted on the bottom of the cutterhead mounting seat 81 and secured by screws 83. In the above structure, the cutterhead protective cover 5 has a first through-hole at its center. The cutterhead protective cover 5 is mounted on the head of the drive motor 8. The diameter of the first through-hole is larger than the outer diameter of the head of the drive motor 8. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 passes through the cutterhead protective cover 5, the blades 4, and the cutterhead 3 from top to bottom. The rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 8 drives the blades 4 and the cutterhead 3 to rotate, thereby cutting the grass. In the above structure, two cutterhead protection strips 9 are also provided at the bottom of the cutterhead protective cover 5. Each of the blades 4 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 91. The through-holes 1 are used for grass cutting and air convection to prevent grass entrapment and blockage.

[0029] In the above structure, a plurality of evenly arranged baffles 51 are provided on the side of the blade protection cover 5 close to the forward direction, which are used to avoid hard objects when moving forward. A plurality of spaced baffles 52 are provided on the side of the blade protection cover 5 away from the forward direction. The baffles 52 can be used to block longer grass sections and can also be used as comb teeth to comb grass clumps that fall on the lawn, so that they settle on the soil and become fertilizer, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the lawn surface and reducing secondary cleaning and manpower. A vent 53 is provided above the baffle 52. The vents 53 are used to block long grass sections and keep them in the cavity of the cutter disc protective cover 5 for a while, and the rotation of the cutter disc repeatedly cuts the grass; when the lawn mower is working, if it encounters hard objects such as stones or water pipes, it can bypass or go over the hard objects to prevent the hard objects from entering the cutter disc protective cover 5 and damaging the blades 6 under the high-speed rotation of the cutter disc 3, thereby increasing the service life of the blades 6; when the grass clippings are discharged, the tail end of the cutter disc protective cover 5 can effectively comb the discharged grass clippings, avoiding the accumulation of grass and the need for manual secondary cleaning, which is environmentally friendly and reduces human resources.

[0030] In the above structure, a guide block 11 is provided on the main mower 1, and the guide block 11 is connected to the head of the drive motor 8 through a connecting rod 12. One end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the head of the drive motor 8 through a bearing, and the other end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the guide block 11 through a bearing. In this embodiment, the connecting rod is a double connecting rod; in the above structure, a spring 13 for reducing the gravity of the mowing assembly is provided on the guide block 11. The blade protection cover 5 is also provided with a height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the blade height. In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism automatically adjusts the mowing height according to the seasonal recommended mowing suggestions to achieve healthy lawn maintenance; in the above structure, the height adjustment mechanism includes a lifting motor 111, a support plate 112, a screw rod 113 and a support plate 114. The lifting motor 111 is installed above the support plate 112. The output shaft of the lifting motor 111 is connected to the screw rod 113 and drives the screw rod 113 to rotate. A screw nut is sleeved on the screw rod 113. The rotation of the screw rod 113 drives the screw nut to move up and down. Parallel pull rods 115 are provided on both sides of the screw rod 113. One end of the pull rod 115 is fixed on the support plate 112, and the other end of the pull rod 115 is fixed on the support plate 114.

[0031] In the above structure, the main mower 1 includes a frame 14, a front-drive wheel group 15, a rear-drive wheel group 16 and a first motor 17. The front-drive wheel group 15 includes two orthogonal wheels, and the rear-drive wheel group 16 includes two hub motor drive wheels. The first motor 17 is installed on the rear-drive wheel group 16 to drive the rotation of the hub motor drive wheel. In this embodiment, the orthogonal wheel is a 30° inclined orthogonal wheel with a climbing angle of 40°. The narrow tread does little damage to the grass, the large wheel diameter has strong off-road capability, and the oblique arrangement is conducive to self-rotation on uneven ground; the hub motor drive wheel runs smoothly and has strong horsepower.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] During operation, the drive motor is started through the cutter disc with double blades, and under the joint action of the set fan blades and the cutter disc protective cover, the output shaft of the drive motor rotates to drive the rotation of the fan blades and the cutter disc. The grass is sucked up by the rotation of the fan blades, and the rotation of the cutter disc causes the two layers of blades on the cutter disc to cut the grass at the same time, cutting the grass into multiple sections. The cut grass sections stay for a while in the cavity of the cutter disc protective cover with the help of wind force, and the upper blades of the cutter disc cut the grass sections twice or multiple times, achieving the effect of crushing the grass, and then the crushed grass is discharged onto the lawn through the air flow of the vent, and the accumulated crushed grass is combed by the baffle on the cutter disc protective cover, so that it settles on the soil and becomes fertilizer.

[0034] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the present invention, but the invention of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
