A walk-behind lawnmower includes a mower deck, a plurality of wheels coupled to the mower deck, a drive motor configured to operate at a drive speed to drive at least one of the plurality of wheels, and a handle coupled to the mower deck. The handle includes a user interface having a variable speed control configured to be actuated an actuation percentage, and a maximum speed control including a setting corresponding to a maximum mower speed. The drive speed of the drive motor is determined using the actuation percentage of the variable speed control scaled by the setting of the maximum speed control.

Transmission box (1) comprising an output shaft (5) made of a single piece or at least two shaft sections (5A, 5B), said shaft being insertable into the box (2) in the closed state of the box (2) through at least one (3) of the openings (3, 4) referred to as the insertion opening (3) in the box (2), the box (1) further comprising at least one device (8) for limiting the axial displacement of the output shaft (5) or the output shaft section (5A; 5B), this axial displacement limitation device (8) can be activated to pass from an inactive state to an active state in which any axial displacement of the output shaft (5) or of the output shaft section (5A; 5B) inside the box (1) according to at least one direction opposite to the direction of insertion of the output shaft (5) or the output shaft section into the box (1) is limited or prevented is a device (8) that can be activated in the closed state of the box (1) and is configured to, in the closed state of the box (1), to pass from an inactive state to an active state depending on the position occupied by the output shaft (5) or the output shaft section (5A; 5B) in said box (1) by simple displacement of the output shaft (5) or the output shaft section (5A; 5B) from the or at least one of the insertion openings (3) in the box (1) in the direction of the inside of the box (1).

A walk-behind lawnmower including a deck including a shroud, a front end portion, and a plurality of ribs coupled to the front end portion and defining a contact plane, a first motor, a rechargeable battery, and a blade rotatably driven by the first motor about a rotational axis, the blade having a tip defining a blade circle about the rotational axis. A radially inner surface of the shroud is disposed a first distance from a nearest point of the blade circle, the first distance being between 0.12 inches and 0.38 inches, a radially outer surface of the shroud is disposed a second distance from a nearest point of the blade circle, the second distance being between 0.5 inches and 0.75 inches, and the contact plane is disposed a third distance from a nearest point of the blade circle, the third distance being between 1.75 inches and 2.75 inches.

A lawnmower may include an inertial measurement device configured to capture data indicative of an orientation of a housing of the lawnmower. The lawnmower may also include a controller coupled (i) to a motor configured to rotate one or more cutting blades and (ii) to the inertial measurement device. The controller may be configured to receive, from the inertial measurement device, the data indicative of the orientation of the housing. The controller may be further configured to determine a three-dimensional position of the housing based on the data. The three-dimensional position of the housing may indicate whether the orientation of the housing is desirable for operation of the lawnmower. The controller may be further configured to control the motor based on the three-dimensional position of the housing.

A mower including a handle assembly and a grip coupled to the handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a cross member. The grip is moveable longitudinally relative to the cross member. The mower also includes a sensor operable to generate an output signal based on a position of the grip relative to the cross member, and a drive assembly configured to operate based on the output signal.

A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a use walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.

An electric lawnmower control system can include a battery, an electric motor configured to rotatably drive a blade, a fan rotatably driven by the electric motor, a printed circuit board, a motor controller, and a housing. The printed circuit board can be fastened to the battery and include a heat sink that is located adjacent to the fan. The motor controller can be mounted on the circuit board, in electrical communication with the battery and the electric motor, thermally coupled to the heat sink, and configured selectively drive the electric motor with electric power supplied by the battery. The housing can include a first side, a second side, and a ventilation passage extending from the first side to the second side. The ventilation passage can be in fluid communication with the fan, and at least a portion of the heat sink is exposed to air flowing through the ventilation passage.

A mower including a handle assembly, a grip moveable relative to the handle assembly, a sensor operable to generate an output signal based on a position of the grip relative to the handle assembly, a drive assembly, and a controller coupled to the sensor and the drive assembly. The controller receives the output signal and controls the drive assembly according to the output signal.

An electric work machine includes coils formed reliably. The machine includes a stator, a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis, and an output unit drivable by the rotor. The stator includes a stator core including a cylindrical yoke and teeth protruding radially outward from the yoke, an insulator fixed to the stator core, and coils each wound around a corresponding one of the teeth with the insulator in between. The insulator includes a first cover covering a first end face of the yoke in a first axial direction and a rib on the first cover and supporting a wire connecting the coils. The rotor includes a rotor core outside a periphery of the stator and a magnet fixed to the rotor core.

An electric work machine can appropriately detect rotation of a rotor. The electric work machine includes a stator including a stator core, an insulator fixed to the stator core, and a coil attached to the insulator, a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis and including a rotor core and a magnet fixed to the rotor core, a stator base supporting the stator, a sensor board supported by the stator base and including a magnetic sensor that detects the magnet, and an output unit drivable by the rotor.
