Patent number: 11812688Abstract: A riding lawn mower includes a chassis, a power output assembly, a walking assembly, a power supply device, a control module, and an operating apparatus. The operating apparatus includes at least one bracket, an operating lap bar assembly, a pivoting assembly, and a position detecting module. The pivoting assembly mounts the operating lap bar of the operating lap bar assembly on the bracket. The operating lap bar can rotate around different positions in a first direction F1 and/or a second direction F2. The position detecting module includes a magnetic element and a magnetic sensor. The magnetic element is provided on the pivoting assembly or the bracket and the magnet sensor is spaced from the magnetic element so that the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor can generate a relative movement for detecting the position of the operating lap bar in the first direction F1 and/or the second direction F2.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dezhong Yang, Jicun Cai, Xiubo Dai, Zhen Wang, Toshinari Yamaoka, Dingming Meng

Patent number: 11439059Abstract: A grass trimmer includes a grass trimmer head, a brushless motor, a drive circuit, and a controller. The grass trimmer head includes a spool and a head housing. The spool is configured to wind a grass trimmer rope. The head housing is configured to accommodate the spool. The grass trimmer has an automatic winding mode. In the automatic winding mode, the brushless motor drives at least one of the spool and the head housing so that the spool and the head housing rotate relatively and the grass trimmer rope is automatically wound onto the spool. The controller is configured to: in the automatic winding mode, output a control signal to the drive circuit according to at least one of the given voltage and the given current so that the rotation speed of the brushless motor is basically constant.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Xiubo Dai

Patent number: 10978971Abstract: Provided is a method for controlling a brushless motor (101) in a power tool system. The brushless motor (101) includes multiple phase windings (u, v, w). The control method includes: operating the brushless motor (101) in each driving state for a period of time separately; measuring a voltage of a higher-voltage one of two phase input ends to which a driving voltage is applied and defining this voltage as a higher-voltage end voltage; measuring a voltage of a phase input end of one of the multiple phase windings which is kept floating when the driving voltage is applied and defining this voltage as a floating end voltage; determining whether values of the higher-voltage end voltage and the floating end voltage meet a preset condition; and when the values of the higher-voltage end voltage and the floating end voltage meet the preset condition, using any one of the multiple phase windings not serving as the current floating phase as a next floating phase.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Nanjing Chervon Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Xiubo Dai
