The first engagement tooth 536 is engaged with the first engagement tooth 5211, thereby rotating the upper case 521 by the spool 53.

The fan 58 is rotated by the upper housing 521. The fan 58 is rotatable relative to the motor housing 332 in a first direction (see the direction indicated by arrow 106 in fig. 4) by the unidirectional bearing 81. At this time, the motor 10 rotates forward to drive the spool 53 and the housing 52 to rotate in the first direction. I.e. it is achieved that the motor 10 drives the grass-cutting head 50 in a first direction. The motor 10 drives the spool 53 and the housing 52 to rotate in synchronization.

When the user needs to supplement the string 101, the user may insert the string 101 through the outer threading hole 544 into the housing cavity 511 and then through the inner threading hole 5351 through the threading channel 5352 out of the opposite outer threading hole 544 to the outside of the housing 52. When it is desired to wind the rope around the spool, the user does not need to open the housing, i.e., separate the upper housing and the lower housing. The grass mowing rope can be directly penetrated into the shell and then wound on the spool through the relative rotation of the spool and the shell, and the grass mowing head is commonly called as an externally-inserted winding grass mowing head

The user controls the mower 100 to cause the mower 100 to perform an automatic winding mode. The motor 10 rotates reversely to drive the spool 53 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the fan 58 cannot rotate in the second reverse direction due to the rotation stopping effect of the unidirectional bearing 81, the fan 58 and the housing 52 are connected through the first connecting teeth 5214 and the second connecting teeth 581, that is, the housing 52 cannot rotate in the second direction, and the winding shaft 53 rotates in the second direction relative to the housing 52 under the drive of the motor shaft 11 to realize automatic winding.

The first mating tooth 5211 or the second mating tooth 5223 are ratchet teeth so that the spool 53 and the housing 52 can rotate relative to each other in an automatic winding mode and the spool 53 can rotate the housing 52 in a cutting mode.

The lawnmower 100 also includes a fan housing 334. The fan housing 334 is fixed to the motor housing 332. The fan housing 334 covers the blades of the fan 58 at least in a radial direction of the central axis 102 to act to prevent grass clippings from winding around the fan 58. And the fan housing 334 changes the airflow direction of the fan 58 so that the airflow generated by the fan 58 can blow grass clippings radially outward and downward along the central axis 102.

The motor shaft 11 directly drives the spool 53 to rotate, the housing 52 can rotate relative to the spool 53, and the housing 52 can slide relative to the spool 53 along the central axis 102. The housing 52 slides relative to the spool 53 between a first axial position and a second axial position.

When the housing 52 is in a first axial position relative to the spool 53, the first mating teeth 5211 and the first engagement teeth 536 mate such that the spool 53 rotates to provide for synchronous rotation of the housing 52.

The lawnmower 100 has a payoff mode. The payout mode enables the grass cutting rope 101 wound onto the spool 53 to be partially released to increase the length of the grass cutting rope 101 exposed outside the grass cutting head 50. While the grass trimmer 100 is in the cutting mode, the user taps the grass trimmer head 50 to move the housing 52 from the first axial position to the second axial position, and the spool 53 can be rotated relative to the housing 52 to release a portion of the grass trimmer line 101.

Specifically, spool 53 is formed with first engagement tooth 536 and second engagement tooth 537. The housing 52 is formed with a first mating tooth 5211 that mates with the first mating tooth 536 and a second mating tooth 5223 that mates with the second mating tooth 537. The plurality of first mating teeth 5211 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the central axis 102. The plurality of first engagement teeth 536 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the central axis 102. Specifically, the first engagement tooth 536 is provided at an upper portion of the spool 53. The second engagement tooth 537 is provided at the lower portion of the spool 53. The first mating teeth 5211 are formed on the upper housing 521 and the second mating teeth 5223 are formed on the lower housing 522.

When the housing 52 is moved to the second axial position, the first mating teeth 5211 and the first engaging teeth 536 are disengaged to enable relative rotation of the spool 53 and the housing 52. At this time, the second engagement tooth 537 and the second engagement tooth 5223 are engaged to rotate the housing 52 by a certain angle with respect to the spool 53 to release the grass rope 101 of a certain length.

Grass cutting head 50 also includes a spring 57, and spring 57 applies a force between lower housing 522 and spool 53 to move housing 52 to a first axial position that rotates in synchronization with spool 53. Specifically, the spring 57 is a compression spring. When the housing 52 is not subjected to an external force from a user striking the ground, the spring 57 applies a force to the housing 52 to return the housing 52 to the first axial position. Spool 53 is formed with a groove 5344. The spring 57 is disposed within the recess 5344. The lower case 522 is protruded with a protrusion 5221 toward the upper case 521. The projection 5221 and the recess 5344 cooperate with the guide housing 52 to move relative to the spool 53 between a first axial position and a second axial position. The spring 57 is disposed between the projection 5221 and the spool 53. One end of the spring 57 contacts the projection 5221. The other end of the spring 57 is provided with a first contact 571. The first contact 571 reduces wear between the spool 53 and the spring 57. The first contact 571 is a metal piece. Spool 53 and housing 52 are plastic pieces.

As an alternative embodiment, the spring may not be in direct contact with the housing. Specifically, a contact is provided between the spring and the housing. The contact is in direct contact with the spring.

As an alternative embodiment, the first engagement teeth are provided on the lower portion of the spool, the first mating teeth being formed with the lower housing.

The housing 52 is made of a plastic material. The thread out grommet 54 can prevent the grass rope 101 from wearing the wall of the outer thread passing hole 544.

As an alternative embodiment, the housing assembly includes a housing. The housing assembly does not include an outlet grommet. The housing forms an outer threading aperture. Specifically, the housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The housing assembly can also be said to include an upper housing and a lower housing.

The inner and outer threading holes 5351 and 544 can be automatically aligned to facilitate insertion of the straw rope 101 from the outer threading hole 544 into the housing cavity 511 and into the inner threading hole 5351 by a user. Or the grass rope 101 passing through the outer threading hole 544 can be directly threaded into the inner threading hole 5351.

The housing assembly 51 is formed with a first locating surface 5212. The spool 53 is formed with a second locating surface 5362 that mates with the first locating surface 5212. When the first positioning surface 5212 contacts the second positioning surface 5362, the inner threaded hole 5351 is aligned with the outer threaded hole 544.

The grass cutting head 50 also includes a drive member. The drive applies a force to the housing assembly 51 or spool 53 that causes relative rotation to bring the first and second locating surfaces 5212, 5362 into contact.

As a specific embodiment, the spring 57 serves as a driving member. A spring 57 is disposed between the housing assembly 51 and the spool 53. The spring 57 applies a force to the spool 53 or the housing assembly 51 that brings the first positioning surface 5212 and the second positioning surface 5362 closer to each other.

The first mating tooth 5211 or the first engaging tooth 536 has an inclined surface inclined to the square plane of the central axis 102. The inclined surface has an angle of 8 degrees or more and 18 degrees or less with respect to the normal plane of the central axis 102. The first mating teeth 5211 and the second mating teeth 5223 provide for relative rotation of the spool 53 and the housing 52 under the force of the spring 57 through the provision of inclined surfaces.

Specifically, when the elastic member 603a is compressed, the elastic member 603 generates at least one component force capable of rotating the lower housing 602b with respect to the spool 603. Thereby driving the housing assembly to rotate relative to the spool 603, the spool 603 preventing the housing assembly from rotating when the first locating surface contacts the second locating surface. The elastic member 603 drives the housing 602 to rotate relative to the spool 603, and when the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface are in contact, the outer threading hole is aligned with the inner threading hole. The automatic alignment of the outer threading hole and the inner threading hole is convenient for users to use. The user can be very convenient insert the rope of beating grass in the interior through wires hole through outer through wires hole.

As an alternative embodiment, torsion springs can also be used as drive elements. The torsion spring contacts the spool and the housing applies a force to the housing that causes it to rotate relative to the spool.

As an alternative embodiment, the drive member drives the spool in rotation relative to the housing assembly. The drive member applies a force to the spool to drive the spool to rotate relative to the housing assembly.

As an alternative embodiment, the drive member drives both the spool and the housing assembly. The driving member applies a force to the spool and the housing assembly that brings the first and second locating surfaces toward each other.

The magnetic member applies a force to the housing assembly or spool 704 that brings the first and second locating surfaces into close proximity with each other. The magnetic member applies a force to the housing assembly or spool 704 that causes relative rotation to bring the first and second locating surfaces into contact.

Specifically, the first magnetic member 707 is fixed to the housing 703. A second magnetic member 708 is secured to the spool 704. The second magnetic member 708 is opposite to the magnetic direction of the first magnetic member 707. The first magnetic member 707 and the second magnetic member 708 repel each other creating a force that rotates the spool 704 and the housing 703 relative to each other.

Specifically, housing 703 is formed with first mating teeth 703c. One end of the first mating tooth 703c is provided with a first positioning surface. The first magnetic member 707 is fixed to an end of the first mating tooth 703c remote from the first positioning surface.

As shown in fig. 37 and 38, grass-cutting head 801 includes housing 802, spool 803, knocking cap 807, knocking cap support 806, and spring 805. The spool 803 is used to wind a straw rope. The spool 803 is at least partially disposed within the housing 802 and is rotatable relative to the housing 802 about a central axis. The housing 802 includes an upper housing 802a and a lower housing 802b. Spool 803 is located between upper housing 802a and lower housing 802b. The upper housing 802a is formed with first mating teeth. The knocking cap support 806 is formed with first engagement teeth that mate with the first mating teeth.

Spring 805 is disposed between knocking cap support 806 and upper housing 802 a. The knocking cap 807 is rotatably coupled to a knocking cap support 806. The knocking cap 807 includes a contact portion 807a protruding from the outer surface of the housing 802. The contact portion 807a is for contact with the ground.

The surface of the contact portion 807a is a smooth curved surface. The contact portion 807a is circular in projection on a plane perpendicular to the central axis.

As an alternative, the knocking cap support may be integral with the spool. I.e. the knocking cap is rotatably connected to the spool.

As shown in fig. 39 and 40, the grass cutting head 210 is used for mounting and accommodating a grass cutting rope, a part of which is accommodated inside the grass cutting head 210, and a part of which extends out of the grass cutting head 210 for cutting vegetation when the grass cutting head 210 rotates.

The motor 220 can drive the grass-cutting head 210 to rotate around the central axis 210a, thereby driving the grass-cutting rope to rotate for cutting vegetation. Specifically, motor 220 includes a motor shaft 220a. The motor shaft 220a is connected to the grass-cutting head 210 to drive the grass-cutting head 210 to rotate.

Grass cutting head 210 includes spool 260 and housing 250. The spool 260 is for winding the grass-cutting rope and is accommodated in the housing 250, and the spool 260 is provided with an inner threading hole 260a for fixing the grass-cutting rope or passing the grass-cutting rope therethrough. The housing 250 is formed with an outer threading hole 250a through which the grass rope passes. As one implementation, the housing 250 includes an upper housing 250b and a lower housing 250c, which enables the housing 250 to be easily assembled with the spool 260 and also facilitates a user to open the housing 250 to detect conditions inside the housing 250.

Grass cutting head 210 also includes a spring 270 that applies a force between housing 250 and spool 260. The spring 270 applies a force that moves the spool 260 away from the lower housing 250 c.

When the user needs to supplement a new grass mowing rope, the user can align the inner threading hole 260a with the outer threading hole 250a, then pass the grass mowing rope through the outer threading hole 250a and then enter the inner threading hole 260a, and at the moment, the limiting effect of the outer threading hole 250a on the grass mowing rope can enable the grass mowing rope to be gradually wound on the spool 260 along with the movement of the outer threading hole 250a relative to the spool 260 as long as the spool 260 and the housing 250 can relatively move. The motor shaft 220a is connected to the spool 260, which directly rotates the spool 260 about the central axis 210 a. Spool 260 and housing 250 form a rotational connection.

The lawnmower further comprises a damping device 240, in particular the damping device 240 comprises a friction member 230. The friction member 230 is movable in a direction 230 a. When the friction member 230 moves to a position contacting the housing 250, the friction member 230 causes the housing 250 to rotate relative to the spool 260 due to contact friction, and as the friction force increases, the spool 260 and the housing 250 are caused to rotate relative to each other, thereby providing the lawnmower with an automatic winding mode. The motor 220 drives at least one of the spool 260 and the housing 250 to rotate the spool 260 and the housing 250 relative to each other to automatically wind the mowing cord onto the spool 260. Specifically, the spool 260 and the housing 250 are rotated relatively by the driving of the motor 220 and the friction member 230 to automatically wind the wire to the spool 260. The friction member 230 does not completely prevent the rotation of the housing 250, but slows down the rotation of the housing 250, thereby effecting the relative rotation of the spool 260 and the housing 250.

Of course, when the spool 260 is wound with enough grass line and the portion of the housing 250 exposed is insufficient to cut vegetation, the relative rotation of the spool 260 and the housing 250 may also be used to effect automatic payout.

In this embodiment, the friction member 230 acts to dampen the rotation of the housing 250 to slow the rotation of the housing 250 and thereby produce a relative rotation with the spool 260. The user can implement the cutting mode and the automatic winding mode of the mower by directly or indirectly operating the friction member 230, and of course, the user may first place the friction member 230 in a corresponding state to the desired mode and then activate the motor 220.

As shown in fig. 41 and 42, as one embodiment, the grass-cutting head 310 includes a spool 350 and a housing 320. The housing 320 includes an upper housing 320a and a lower housing 320b.

In contrast to the damper 240 of fig. 39 and 40, the damper 340 of fig. 41 and 42 includes a stopper 330, the stopper 330 serving to prevent the rotation of the housing 320. The housing 320 is formed with a stopper groove 320c that cooperates with the stopper 330. Specifically, the stopper groove 320c is provided in the upper case 320a. In the automatic winding mode, the stopper 330 is inserted into the stopper groove 320c to be engaged with the stopper groove, so that the rotation of the housing 320 with respect to the entire grass cutter is completely prevented. The relative rotation of spool 350 and housing 320 is also accomplished to effect automatic winding of the mowing cord onto spool 350. The automatic winding function is realized.

The stopper 330 also serves to damp the rotation of the housing 320, except that the damping of the friction member 230 is to slow down the movement trend, while the damping of the stopper 330 is to limit the displacement, and both the slow down movement trend and the limit displacement are defined as damping; both the friction member 230 and the stopper 330 can be considered a damping device 340.

In fig. 43, a motor shaft 460a of a motor 460 is shown driving a housing 420 to damp a spool 430 using a one-way bearing 440.

As shown in fig. 43, the grass-cutting head 410 includes a spool 430 and a housing 420. The motor housing 450 accommodates the motor 460, and the one-way bearing 440 is provided between the spool 430 and the motor housing 450 such that the spool 430 can only rotate in one direction with respect to the motor housing 450. Specifically, the motor housing 450 is formed with a boss portion. The inner ring of the one-way bearing 440 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the boss portion. The inner race of the one-way bearing 440 is fixedly coupled to the motor housing 450. The outer race of the one-way bearing 440 can only rotate in one direction relative to the motor housing 450. Rotation of the outer race of the one-way bearing 440 in the other direction relative to the motor housing 450 is prevented. Spool 430 is sleeved on the outer periphery of one-way bearing 440. The one-way bearing 440 allows the spool 430 to rotate in only one direction relative to the motor housing 450.

The motor shaft 460a passes through the bobbins 430 but does not directly drive the bobbins 430, i.e., torque is not directly transferred between the bobbins 430; the motor shaft 460a is non-rotatably connected to the housing 420 to directly drive the housing 420.

As can be seen from the foregoing description of the scheme and principles, if the motor 460 rotates in the forward direction, the spool 430 and the housing 420 can rotate in synchronization to perform the cutting mode, the spool 430 remains stationary while the motor 460 rotates in the reverse direction. The spool 430 and the housing 420 may be rotated relative to each other to perform an automatic winding mode.

It will be appreciated that the damping means may not only dampen the resistance of the housing to its rotation, but may also apply a resistance to the spool to dampen its rotation.

As another embodiment, the damping device may apply a damping effect to both the spool and the housing. In particular, the damping device may comprise a first damping member and a second damping member. The first damping member applies a first resistance to the spool that damps the rotation of the spool. The second damping member applies a second resistance to the housing that dampens the rotation of the housing. The housing and the spool are allowed to rotate relative to each other due to the first resistance and the second resistance.

The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, principal features and advantages of the invention. It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the above embodiments are not intended to limit the invention in any way, and that all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations fall within the scope of the invention.
