  • Publication number: 20240306538
    Abstract: An autonomous traveling work apparatus includes traveling wheels, a control unit, a first work unit, and a second work unit. The first work unit includes a first rotary blade assembly rotatably supported by a vehicle body, and the second work unit includes a second rotary blade assembly rotatably supported by the vehicle body. The rotation center of the first rotary blade assembly is oriented in a first direction intersecting the horizontal direction. The rotation center of the second rotary blade assembly is oriented in a second direction intersecting the vertical direction and different from the first direction. The first rotary blade assembly and the second rotary blade assembly are lined up in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body on one of a left side or a right side of the vehicle body.

  • Publication number: 20240306542
    Abstract: An autonomous traveling work apparatus includes a work unit including a passive rotary cutter that passively rotates, a driving rotary cutter that is driven to rotate, and a fixed cutter that does not rotate. The passive rotary cutter has a rotation axis passing through a rotation center thereof and oriented in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction of a vehicle body, and includes a plurality of blade parts on the outer peripheral portion of the passive rotary cutter. The fixed cutter is adjacent to the passive rotary cutter. The driving rotary cutter has a rotation axis passing through a rotation center thereof and oriented in the direction intersecting the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and rotates by means of a drive device. The driving rotary cutter cuts the vegetation above the lower end of the passive rotary cutter.

  • Publication number: 20240288822
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises an image forming unit including a photosensitive drum (image bearing body) 11, and an exposure unit including an exposure head that emits light to expose the photosensitive drum to form a latent image. The exposure unit has a duct unit extending in the X direction (longitudinal direction) of the image forming unit. The duct unit has an inlet opening through which air flows into the duct unit and an outlet opening through which the air is discharged from the duct unit. The exposure unit is provided pivotably about a pivot axis (virtual straight line) passing through the inlet opening.
