[0042] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the embodiment provides a chassis height adjusting device, which comprises an adjusting base 100, a driving assembly 200, a control module (not shown in the figures), a front axle assembly 300, a rear axle assembly 400, and a rod assembly 500. The front axle assembly 300 is connected with front wheels, and the rear axle assembly 400 is connected with rear wheels. The front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 are adapted to support a lawn mower body. The driving assembly 200 is arranged on the adjusting base 100 and is connected with the control module circuit. The rod assembly 500 is connected with the driving assembly 200, the front axle assembly 300, and the rear axle assembly 400. A user can press an adjusting button to make the control module control the driving assembly 200 to work. The driving assembly 200 drives the rod assembly 500 to slide to drive the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 to lift or lower the lawn mower body, thereby realizing the adjustment of the chassis height of the lawn mower.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 2-3, the drive assembly 200 includes a drive motor 210, a driven screw 220, and a sliding rod 230. The drive motor 210 is disposed at the front end of the adjustment base 100 and is electrically connected to the control module circuit. The driven screw 220 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 210, and the drive motor 210 can drive the driven screw 220 to rotate along its own axis. The sliding rod 230 is threadedly disposed on the driven screw 220. The side wall of the adjustment base 100 is provided with a limiting groove 110 matched with the sliding rod 230, and both ends of the sliding rod 230 are disposed in the limiting groove 110. Thus, the driven screw 220 can be rotated to drive the sliding rod 230 to slide along the limiting groove 110. The rod assembly 500 includes a front support rod 510 and a rear support rod 520. The top end of the front support rod 510 is hingedly connected to the top end of the rear support rod 520. The bottom end of the front support rod 510 is hingedly connected to the sliding rod 230, and the bottom end of the rear support rod 520 is hingedly connected to the adjustment base 100. The front support rod 510 and the rear support rod 520 have a V-shaped structure. The rod assembly 500 further includes a first connecting rod 530 and a second connecting rod 540. The first connecting rod 530 is adapted to connect the front support rod 510 and the front axle assembly 300, and the second connecting rod 540 is adapted to connect the front support rod 510 and the rear axle assembly 400. The middle part of the front support rod 510 is provided with a hinge shaft 550. One end of each of the first connecting rod 530 and the second connecting rod 540 is hingedly connected to the hinge shaft 550. The other end of the first connecting rod 530 is hingedly connected to the front axle assembly 300, and the other end of the second connecting rod 540 is hingedly connected to the rear axle assembly 400. Based on the above structure, the drive motor 210 can drive the driven screw 220 to rotate, so that the sliding rod 230 slides in the limiting groove 110 and drives the front support rod 510 to move forward and backward to approach or move away from the rear support rod 520. The front support rod 510 drives the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 to lift or lower the lawn mower body through the first connecting rod 530 and the second connecting rod 540.

[0044] Further, as shown in FIGS. 4-5, the front axle assembly 300 includes a front axle 310 and a front axle connecting piece 320, the front axle 310 includes first axle bodies 311 connected with front wheels at two ends and a second axle body 312 arranged between the first axle bodies 311 for supporting the mower body, the first axle bodies 311 and the second axle body 312 are arranged staggered, so that the front axle 310 as a whole is in the shape of a crankshaft, the front axle connecting piece 320 is fixedly arranged on the second axle body 312, the first connecting rod 530 is hinged with the front axle connecting piece 320, and then the first connecting rod 530 can be moved forward and backward under the driving of the front support rod 510 to rotate the front axle 310 to lift or lower the ride height of the mower. The rear axle assembly 400 includes a rear axle 410 for supporting the mower body and a rear axle connecting piece 420 connected with rear wheels, the rear axle 410 is arranged on the rear axle connecting piece 420, the second connecting rod 540 is hinged with the rear axle connecting piece 420, and the rear axle 410, the second connecting rod 540 and the connecting point of the rear wheels on the rear axle connecting piece 420 are arranged in a triangular shape, and then the second connecting rod 540 can be moved forward and backward under the driving of the front support rod 510 to rotate the rear axle connecting piece 420, and the rotation of the rear axle connecting piece 420 can lift or lower the ride height of the mower.

[0045] Further, the rod assembly 500 is further provided with a trigger piece 600, the trigger piece 600 moves with the movement of the rod assembly 500, the adjusting base 100 is provided with a plurality of trigger switches 700 matched with the trigger piece 600, the plurality of trigger switches 700 are arranged at intervals on the activity track of the rod assembly 500, and the plurality of trigger switches 700 are connected with the control module, and then in the process that the driving assembly 200 drives the rod assembly 500 to slide, the trigger piece 600 cooperates with each trigger switch 700 alternatively. When the trigger piece 600 cooperates with the trigger switch 700, the trigger switch 700 is triggered to send an electric signal to the control module, and the control module controls the driving assembly 200 to stop when receiving the electric signal, so as to stop adjusting the ride height of the mower. That is to say, the user presses the adjusting button each time, and the driving assembly 200 drives the rod assembly 500 to move a fixed stroke, and the length of the stroke is the distance between two adjacent trigger switches 700. Since the rod assembly 500 only moves a fixed stroke each time, the rod assembly 500 can only lift or lower the mower body by a fixed height, so as to realize the electric gear adjustment of the ride height of the mower, saving time and effort.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, the trigger switches 700 are arranged in two columns in staggered arrangement, and the trigger switches 700 in each column are arranged at intervals on the adjusting base 100. Due to the limited space inside the mower, the length of the adjusting base 100 is limited, and the trigger switches 700 themselves also have a certain length size. If the trigger switches 700 are arranged in a column at intervals, the interval between the two trigger switches 700 will be relatively far, and the adjusting height of the chassis of the mower each time is related to the interval between the two trigger switches 700, so as to cause the span between the two adjacent gears of the height adjustment of the chassis of the mower to be large, and the practicability is poor. In the chassis height adjusting device, the trigger switches 700 are arranged in two columns in staggered arrangement, which can reduce the interval between the two trigger switches 700, thereby reducing the span between the two gears, and increasing the number of gears, so that the mower has multiple different mowing heights to meet different needs.

[0047] Further, referring to FIG. 3, the trigger 600 and the trigger switch 700 are triggered by the electrically conductive scheme, the trigger 600 is arranged at the bottom end of the front support rod 510, the trigger 600 includes two trigger inserts 610, the two trigger inserts 610 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two trigger inserts 610 correspond to a column of trigger switches 700 respectively, a single trigger switch 700 includes two electrode pieces 710 arranged opposite to each other, the two electrode pieces 710 are arranged at intervals to form a trigger channel therebetween, the trigger 600 can slide with the front support rod 510, so that the trigger insert 610 slides into the trigger channel and contacts the two electrode pieces 710 to conduct the trigger switch 700. Since the trigger switches 700 are arranged in two columns in staggered arrangement, when the trigger switch 700 is conducted, only one of the two trigger inserts 610 on the trigger 600 contacts the two electrode pieces 710 on the trigger switch 700. Preferably, the two electrode pieces 710 are in arc shape, so that the width of the trigger channel at both ends is greater than the width in the middle, and the width of the trigger channel at both ends is greater than the thickness of the trigger insert 610, and the width of the trigger channel in the middle is less than the thickness of the trigger insert 610, so as to ensure that the trigger insert 610 can smoothly slide in and out of the trigger channel and ensure that the trigger insert 610 can contact the electrode piece 710 to conduct.

[0048] Specifically, when the user presses the adjustment button to send a signal to raise or lower the chassis height, the control module controls the driving motor 210 to work, the driving motor 210 drives the driven screw 220 to rotate, so that the sliding rod 230 drives the bottom end of the front support rod 510 and the trigger piece 600 to slide forward and backward, the front support rod 510 slides forward and backward and further drives the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 to lift or lower the lawn mower body through the first connecting rod 530 and the second connecting rod 540, until the trigger piece 600 slides to the adjacent another trigger switch 700 from a trigger switch 700, the trigger tab 610 contacts the two electrode sheets 710 to make them conductive, sending an electrical signal to the control module, the control module controls the driving motor 210 to stop working after receiving the electrical signal, the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 stop lifting or lowering the lawn mower body, and the front support rod 510 slides a fixed stroke each time, and the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 also lift or lower the lawn mower body by a fixed height.

[0049] In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the trigger switch 700 is arranged in a row on the adjustment base 100, the trigger piece 600 includes a trigger tab 610, and a single trigger switch 700 includes two electrode sheets 710 arranged opposite to each other, the two electrode sheets 710 are arranged at intervals and form a trigger channel, and the trigger tab 610 is adapted to slide into the trigger channel and contact the two electrode sheets 710 to make the trigger switch 700 conductive. This scheme is suitable for lawn mowers with larger size or fewer gears, and there is enough space on the adjustment base 100 to accommodate a single row of trigger switches 700.

[0050] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the trigger piece 600 includes two trigger tabs 620, the two trigger tabs 620 correspond to a row of trigger switches 700 respectively, a single trigger switch 700 includes two electrode sheets 710, and the trigger piece 600 can slide with the front support rod 510, so that the trigger tab 620 slides to contact the two electrode sheets 710 to make the trigger switch 700 conductive. Since the trigger switch 700 is arranged in two rows in a staggered manner, when the trigger switch 700 is conductive, only one of the two trigger tabs 620 on the trigger piece 600 contacts the two electrode sheets 710 on the trigger switch 700. Further, the two electrode sheets 710 are both in the shape of an upwardly convex arc, and the trigger tab 620 is in the shape of a downwardly convex arc, which can ensure the success rate of the conduction of the two electrode sheets 710, and at the same time, the trigger piece 600 and the trigger switch 700 can also have a longer service life.

[0051] In another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, the trigger switches 700 are arranged in a row on the adjusting base 100, the trigger member 600 comprises a trigger spring 620, and each trigger switch 700 comprises two electrode pieces 710, when the trigger switch 700 is turned on, the trigger spring 620 is in contact with the two electrode pieces 710 of the trigger switch 700 at the same time, thereby turning on the trigger switch 700. This scheme is suitable for the lawn mower with large size or less gears, and there is enough space on the adjusting base 100 to arrange the trigger switches 700 in a row.

[0052] In another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8, the trigger member 600 and the trigger switch 700 are realized by the micro switch, specifically, the trigger member 600 is in the form of a trigger fulcrum, and the trigger switch 700 is a micro switch.

[0053] Specifically, the adjusting base 100 is provided with a plurality of micro switches connected with the driving assembly 200 in circuit, and the micro switches are arranged at intervals on the sliding track of the rod assembly 500, the micro switches can be triggered by the rod assembly 500 to stop the driving of the driving assembly 200, thereby the rod assembly 500 is driven by the driving assembly 200 only between two adjacent micro switches each time, and the rod assembly 500 only drives the front axle assembly 300 and the rear axle assembly 400 to rotate a fixed angle, thereby lifting or lowering the chassis height of the lawn mower by a fixed height, realizing the gear adjustment of the chassis height of the lawn mower, so that the lawn mower can have different mowing heights.

[0054] The adjusting base 100 is further provided with a containing groove 120, the micro switches are arranged at intervals in the containing groove 120 along the moving direction of the front support rod 510, the trigger fulcrum is arranged in the containing groove 120 above the micro switches, when the front support rod 510 is moved by the sliding rod 230, the trigger fulcrum can abut against the micro switch to trigger the micro switch, when the micro switch is triggered, the driving motor 210 stops working, and the driving motor 210 no longer drives the sliding rod 230 to slide, so that the sliding rod 230 only drives the front support rod 510 to move between two adjacent micro switches each time, thereby realizing the gear adjustment of the chassis height of the lawn mower.

[0055] As preferred, the microswitches are arranged in two rows in the accommodation groove 120, the two rows of microswitches are arranged staggeredly, the trigger member 600 comprises two trigger fulcrums, the two trigger fulcrums are arranged oppositely and in parallel, and the two trigger fulcrums correspond to one row of microswitches respectively. Since the internal space of the mower is limited, the length of the adjusting base 100 is limited, and the microswitch itself also has a certain length. If the microswitches are arranged in one row and spaced, the distance between the two microswitches is large, and the distance of the front support rod 510 is also large, thereby causing the span between the adjacent two levels of the height adjustment of the base of the mower to be large, and the practicability is poor. The microswitches are arranged in two rows and staggered, which can reduce the distance between the adjacent two microswitches, reduce the distance of the front support rod 510, and make the span between the adjacent two levels of the height adjustment of the base of the mower small, and the number of levels is also more, the mower has different mowing heights, and meets different use requirements.
