So many lawnmowers in the market, how do we choose one that suits us?
Lawns green our living air and bring beautiful embellishments to our lives, but lawn trimming is a very labour-intensive project. For large lawns, such as golf courses, large parks, farm orchards, etc., it is suitable to purchase a riding high-power rotary lawn mower with a gasoline engine. For home lawns, you can choose a push-type gasoline lawn mower or an electric lawn mower. Of course, handheld lawnmowers are also quite popular.
The following mainly talks about the working principle of the lawn mower from the perspective of the type of lawn mower blades
1. Working principle of rotary lawn mower
When the engine is started, the blade disc is driven to rotate at high speed, and the blade on the blade disc rotates accordingly. The rotating blade cuts the grass stems at a high linear speed.
- The rotation of the blade will generate an airflow, which can blow the grass stems to the blade for easy cutting. At the same time, the cut grass clippings will be thrown into the grass collection bag (if there is a grass collection
function) by the airflow or the special device on the blade disc, or directly scattered on the lawn.
2. Working principle of reel mower
When the drive device drives the reel to rotate, the blade on the reel and the bottom knife form a shearing action. When the reel rolls on the lawn, the grass stems are rolled between the reel and the bottom knife, and the grass
stems are neatly cut off by the shearing action of the blade.
- The reel mower has high cutting accuracy and can make the lawn surface very flat. It is often used in places with high requirements for lawn quality, such as golf courses.
3. Working principle of brush cutter
After the engine is started, the power is transmitted to the blade or nylon rope cutting head through the transmission shaft. When the blade rotates, it can cut thicker weeds and shrubs; when using the nylon rope cutting head,
the high-speed rotating nylon rope can break or cut the grass stems.
- The brush cutter is more flexible to operate and is suitable for use in more complex terrain and environments, such as the corners of the garden, hillsides, etc.
