Embodiments of blades for use with lawn mowers are provided herein. In some embodiments, a blade for a lawn mower includes a substantially flat central portion having a rotational axis configured to be coupled to a motor for rotating the blade; a distal portion extending radially from opposing sides of the flat central portion, the distal portion being a cutting region of the blade when mowing and defined by the following: a non-zero leading angle defining an angle of attack; and a non-zero camber percentage; and an intermediate portion disposed between the central portion and the distal portion and configured to minimize an amount of torsional stress between the central portion and the distal portion, wherein each distal portion comprises about 25 percent or less of a total length of the blade.

ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER CUTTING DECK WITH AN ANGLE ADJUSTMENT ARRANGEMENT, AND A ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER COMPRISING SUCH A CUTTING DECK
20220338410 · 2022-10-27 ·

The present disclosure relates to a robotic lawnmower cutting deck (130) comprising a cutting system (131) which in turn comprises at least two cutters (132a, 132b, 132c), with a cutting disc (133a, 133b, 133c) and cutter motor (134a, 134b, 134c). The cutters (132a, 132b, 132c) are supported by a cutter support beam (135) which has a longitudinal beam extension (L1) and in turn is supported at respective supporting positions (135a, 135b) by a corresponding first link arm (136a, 136b) and a corresponding second link arm (137a, 137b). At each supporting position (135a, 135b): the link arms (136a, 136b; 137a, 137b) are pivotingly attached to the cutter support beam (135) with a corresponding first pivot pin (138a, 138b) and second pivot pin (139a, 139b) that are fixed relative each other, the link arms (136a, 136b; 137a, 137b) are pivotingly attached to a frame part (140a, 140b) with a corresponding third pivot pin (141a, 141b) and fourth pivot pin (142a, 142b), the third pivot pin (141a, 141b) and fourth pivot pin (142a, 142b) have an adjustable relation relative each other such that the cutter support beam (135) is rotated (R) around the longitudinal beam extension (L1) when the relation between the third pivot pin (141a, 141b) and fourth pivot pin (142a, 142b) is adjusted.

Mower deck insert

A mower deck insert includes a first cutting chamber, a second cutting chamber, and a discharge passage extending adjacent to the first cutting chamber and the second cutting chamber. The first cutting chamber includes a first axial scroll extending about a first vertical axis. The first axial scroll includes a first upper surface having a first start region and a first end region. The second cutting chamber includes a second axial scroll extending about a second vertical axis. The second axial scroll includes a second upper surface having a second start region and a second end region. The first start region is vertically lower than the first end region, and the second start region is vertically lower than the second end region.

Connecting device and robotic tool

The disclosure provides a robotic tool. The robotic tool includes a body (1), an upper cover (2) and a connecting device (3). The connecting device (3) includes a connecting seat fixed on the upper cover and a connecting rod (30) fixed on the body. The connecting seat includes a locking component (32), and the locking component is provided with a plurality of elastic connecting walls (323), and the elastic connecting walls (323) jointly define a sunken cavity (322) to house a connecting head of the connecting rod. When the locking component (32) is in a release position, the elastic connecting walls can be deformed outward to allow the connecting head to be removed from the sunken cavity. When the locking component is in a locking position, the elastic connecting walls are restricted from deforming outwards to keep the connecting head in the sunken cavity (322).

Variable mulching assembly for use with a lawnmower

A convertible lawnmower includes a housing and a mulching system. The housing includes a discharge opening. The mulching system includes a mounting ring and a shutter ring. The mounting ring is coupled substantially concentrically to the housing and includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a sidewall that extends substantially axially therebetween. The sidewall is formed with a retaining groove and at least one installation groove. The retaining groove extends at least partially circumferentially within an inner surface of the sidewall and each installation groove extends axially from the lower surface to the retaining groove. The shutter ring is only coupled to mounting ring via the retaining groove such that the shutter ring is selectively shiftable between a mulching mode and a discharge mode.

AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL ROBOTIC WORKING MACHINE
20220322603 · 2022-10-13 ·

The autonomous travel working machine includes a working body unit, a cover unit, and a connecting structure unit connecting the working body unit and the cover unit. The connecting structure unit includes a body connecting section attached to the working body unit and a cover connecting section attached to the cover unit. When the cover unit is lifted, a shaft portion of the cover unit is slid upwardly with respect to a head portion of the working body unit so that the cover unit is moved upwardly or lifted with respect to the working body unit. When the working machine hits against an obstacle, an intermediate portion of the body connecting section is resiliently deformed in a lateral direction so that the cover unit is moved with respect to the working body unit substantially only in the lateral direction.
