Robotic Mower with Collision and Detection Assemblies
A mower is provided and includes: a housing; a movable upper cover, disposed on the housing; and a cutting assembly, disposed on the housing. The cutting assembly includes a blade carrier assembly, and the blade carrier assembly includes a blade carrier and a blade. The blade carrier includes a disc body and a blade receiving groove recessed inwardly from an edge of the disc body along an axial direction of the disc body. The blade is mounted in the blade receiving groove and arranged to be that the blade is not protruded out of the blade receiving groove in the axial direction of the disc body.
HEAD FOR BRUSH CUTTERS
A head 1 for a brush cutter of the type comprising a support element 3, connectable to a drive shaft of a brush cutter so as to be set in rotation about a vertical rotation axis Y-Y, a plurality of pins 9, connected to the support element 3, couplable to a plurality of cutting elements 2, so that every cutting element 2 is free to rotate about the respective pin 9 defining a cutting generatrix S. Said plurality of cutting elements 2 being arranged in such a way as to provide the respective cutting generatrices S tangent, in the part distal to the vertical rotation axis Y-Y, to an overall cutting diameter B, defining the overall cutting surface of the head, and tangent, in the part proximal to the vertical rotation axis Y-Y, to a fictitious circumference A, defining a central portion of the support element 3 not reached by the plurality of cutting elements 2. The A/B ratio being comprised between 0.06 and 0.3.
Electric Motor and Blade Assembly for a Lawn Mower
A configuration of a direct drive lawnmower spindle assembly to protect sensitive electric motor components is provided. A spindle shaft of the spindle assembly is supported by upper and lower bearings. An upper end of the spindle shaft is mounted to a rotor of the electric motor and a lower end of the spindle shaft extends through the clearance opening. The lower bearing is supported by a lower bearing carrier that is mounted to the bottom of the spindle housing. The lower bearing can be serviced by removing the lower bearing carrier. A clearance gap between the spindle shaft and the clearance opening is sufficiently small to limit spindle shaft tipping to a degree that will not damage the motor. The invention also provides a friction coupling system for coupling a blade with the rotating spindle shaft.
ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER CUTTER ASSEMBLY, ROBOTIC LAWNMOWER, AND METHOD OF ATTACHING A LAWNMOWER CUTTER ASSEMBLY TO A LAWNMOWER
A lawnmower cutter assembly (22) comprises a knife carrier arrangement (26) and a skid plate arrangement (30), which are axially held between an axial stop shoulder (60) of the cutter drive shaft (34) and an end piece (54) rigidly connected to the cutter drive shaft (34), the end piece (54) thereby vertically carrying the skid plate arrangement (30) and the knife carrier arrangement (26). The cutter assembly (22) may be attached to a lawnmower, which may be a robotic lawnmower, by positioning the knife carrier arrangement (26) and the skid plate arrangement (30) on the cutter drive shaft (34); and thereafter, axially locking the axial position of the knife carrier arrangement (26) and the skid plate arrangement (30) in relation to the cutter drive shaft (34).
Grass mowing machine
A grass mowing machine includes a vehicle body frame, a mower deck incorporating a rotary cutter blade, a coupling mechanism for coupling the mower deck to the vehicle body frame with allowing a lateral displacement of the mower deck in a vehicle body transverse direction, a mower electric motor attached to the mower deck and configured to feed rotary power to the rotary cutter blade and a displacement operation mechanism MV for laterally displacing the mower deck in the vehicle body transverse direction in operative association with the coupling mechanism.
High-efficiency lawn maintenance tool and high-efficiency cutting blade
A high-efficiency blade for a lawn maintenance tool includes a central axis and a mounting portion located on the central axis. The high-efficiency blade includes a cutting blade and a cutting blade sharpened leading edge. A cleaning blade is vertically offset from the cutting blade and is configured to mulch the associated clippings from vegetation and reduce an associated accumulation of clippings on an underside of an associated mower deck. The lawn maintenance tool can also include a deck having a separation distance between the cleaning blade and an underside of the deck. The deck can include an elevation change to vary the separation distance. The deck and high-efficiency blade can also include a forward or rearward tilt.
WEAR PROTECTION DEVICE FOR MOWING DISCS FOR ROTARY MOWERS
A mowing disc for rotary mowers is provided, which has a mowing plate with a central drive region and an upper casing surface. The mowing plate is equipped with mower blades at its periphery. The mowing disc further includes a wear protection device consists of a single-component or multi-component protective cover which can be fastened on the upper casing surface.
GROUNDING BODY AND GRASS CUTTER COMPRISING GROUNDING BODY
A grounding body may be mounted on a cutting blade shaft of a grass cutter. The grounding body may include a mounting part for mounting the grounding body on the cutting blade shaft, wherein a cutting blade is mounted on the cutting blade shaft to be positioned above the grounding body; and a main body coupled to the mounting part and configured to contact a ground. The main body may include a first main body constituted of a first resin; and a second main body constituted of a second resin different from the first resin.
Trimmer head assembly for a trimmer
A trimmer head or trimmer head assembly for a trimmer is provided herein. The trimmer head may include a base plate defining an axial direction, a pivot head, and a blade retainer. The pivot head may be attached to the base plate. The blade retainer may include a radial arm rotatably mounted to the base plate to rotate relative to the base plate between a first position at which the radial arm is circumferentially aligned with the pivot head and a second position at which the radial arm is circumferentially spaced apart from the pivot head.
QUICK RELEASE BLADE ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR A POWER TOOL
Quick release blade assemblies for a power tool are provided. A lawnmower includes a base including an engagement interface; a retainer having a locking component; a blade disposed between the base and the retainer; and an actuatable member including an engagement member, the engagement member being selectively displaceable with respect to the engagement interface between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration when the actuatable member is translated in a direction parallel with the axis of rotation, wherein the engagement member is configured to interface with the locking component to selectively couple the blade to the drive shaft when the engagement member is in the locked configuration.
