  • Patent number: 12178153
    Abstract: An outdoor treatment system has an autonomous mobile outdoor treatment robot and a sensor and control device. The robot has a chassis and a contact element. The chassis executes a travelling movement in a direction of travel. The contact element executes an avoiding movement in an avoiding direction as a result of the travelling movement and contact between an obstacle and a lower contact point below a height limit, and executes a detection movement in a detection direction as a result of the travelling movement and contact between an obstacle and an upper contact point at or above the height limit. The contact element is mounted to move with respect to the chassis. The avoiding direction and the detection direction are different. The sensor and control device detects the detection movement and controls a robot protective function, and does not detect or evaluate the avoiding movement.

  • Patent number: 11576304
    Abstract: A lawn mower is provided with a housing that has a discharge opening for discharging cut material. A covering device is arranged at the housing and is provided with a cover and a locking device. The cover can pivot about a pivot axis. The cover covers the discharge opening in a closed state of the cover and opens the discharge opening in an open position of the cover. In the closed state of the cover, the cover can be locked by the locking device in a locked position of the cover. The cover is moveable relative to the housing in a direction of the pivot axis. The cover is unlocked from the locked position of the cover by a movement of the cover in the direction of the pivot axis.

  • Publication number: 20220192091
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile green-area treatment robot has a treatment tool, a protection device, and a height-adjustment device. A tool height of the treatment tool is adjustable. The protection device is configured to protect against access into the treatment tool. A protection height of the protection device is adjustable. The height-adjustment device is configured for the coupled adjustment of the tool height and the protection height together, such that a tool height adjustment value of the adjustment of the tool height and a protection height adjustment value of the adjustment of the protection height are different. A distance between the treatment tool and the protection device is changed.

  • Patent number: 11239523
    Abstract: A battery pack coupling system for mechanically and/or electrically coupling a battery pack optionally to a harness device or to a manually operated electrical device includes a mechanical backpack coupling interface at the battery pack for the releasable mechanical coupling to a corresponding mechanical battery pack-backpack coupling interface at the harness device and/or an electrical coupling interface at the battery pack and an electrical connecting line with a connecting plug body at the end which can be releasably coupled to the electrical coupling interface. The battery pack coupling system has a mechanical device coupling interface at the battery pack, different from the mechanical backpack coupling interface, for the releasable mechanical coupling to a corresponding mechanical battery pack-device coupling interface at the electrical device and/or a plug fastening mechanism through which the connecting plug body can be fastened releasably to the harness device.
