Abstract:
A method of enabling operation of an ignition system for outdoor power equipment may include monitoring status of a plurality of switches associated with respective components of the equipment where at least one of the respective components corresponds to one or more binary start fault operators, and setting a start enabling status for the one or more 5 binary start fault operators responsive to actuation of a start fault clearance operator.
Abstract:
A debris removal system (15) for mounting on a lawn mower (20) for removing debris from a lawn. The lawn mower has a first end (21), a second end (22) opposite the first end (21), and a mower deck (29). The debris removal system has a tool (53) pivotally mounted to the mower deck (29). The tool (53) has a proximal end (54) and a distal end (55). The tool (53) is capable of being moved from a first position with the distal end (54) extending forward from the first end (21 ) of the mower (20) into contact with the lawn to a second position where the distal end (21) of the tool (53) is positioned above and out of contact with the lawn. A receptacle (47) is disposed on the mower (20) and configured to receive the debris from the tool (53) when the tool (53) is moved from the first position to the second position.
Abstract:
A mower comprises a mower main body (10), multiple wheels (13a,13b) for supporting the mower main body, and a drive motor (6) for driving at least one wheel. Also disclosed is a controlling method for the mower including the following steps: an operator inputs predetermined parameters via an input device, a processor (71) controls an execution circuit to control the drive motor to work according to the predetermined parameters, a sensor (30) checks the actual operating parameters of the drive motor and feeds them back to the processor, the processor compares the actual operating parameters with the predetermined parameters to produce control signals, the execution circuit receives and processes the control signals, and regulates the actual operating parameters of the drive motor according to the predetermined parameters. The method enables the operation convenient and comfortable.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a motorized device for picking and collecting loose fruits such as oil palm scattered on the ground/surface, comprising a thumb switch (16), a pair of handles (2,3) connected to a main frame (4) via an x-shape hollow square metal, a multiple wheel tines (5) drum rotatably mounted on the shaft, a plurality of ejector fingers (13) connected to the multiple tines drum, a fruit container (14) in front of rotating drum wherein, the device is driven by a direct current (DC) motor (10) that is powered by a rechargeable battery (15).
Abstract:
A lawn care device may include a cutting deck housing at least one blade, a rotatable shaft, and a blade coupler operably coupled to the rotatable shaft. The blade coupler may define a blade channel configured to at least partially enclose four sides of a blade inserted therein. The blade coupler may include a support base and a sleeve that is movable relative to the support base based on a compression state of a biasing element. The blade may be insertable into the blade channel by orienting the blade to apply a force to sidewalls of the sleeve to shift the biasing element to a compressed state and rotating the blade proximate to the support base to enable the biasing element to shift to an extended state in which sidewalls of the sleeve define sidewalls of the blade channel.
Abstract:
A blade coupler for coupling a blade to a rotatable shaft of a lawn care device may include a blade coupler base configured to rotate responsive to rotation of the rotatable shaft, a holding bolt configured to hold the blade proximate to the blade coupler base responsive to application of a clamping force thereon, and a centrifugal clamp assembly configured to increase the clamping force applied to the holding bolt responsive to an increase in speed of rotation of the rotatable shaft.
