    Abstract: An electric weeder includes a body and a working head. The body includes a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a motor for driving the working head to rotate around a first axis. The drive mechanism has a first working mode in which the working head is screwed into a workplane and a second working mode in which the working head is unscrewed from the workplane. The direction of rotation of the working head in the first working mode is different from the direction of rotation of the working head in the second working mode. The output rotational speed of the working head is less than or equal to 400 RPM in the first working mode.

  • Publication number: 20240284813
    Abstract: A device for removing weeds from a lawn or garden surface comprising: a drive shaft having a first end configured to operatively couple to a power unit for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the drive shaft and a second, free distal end; coupled to the second end, an auger having one or more flights and a boring member; and a weed engagement member axially coupled to the drive shaft at a longitudinal position intermediate the auger and the first end. A base member of the weed engagement member has at least one grasping finger depending therefrom towards the auger and axially offset from the longitudinal axis. Rotation of the drive shaft in a first direction when the boring member is in contact with the surface moves the auger into engagement with the weed and the weed engagement member is drawn towards and into engagement with the weed and vice-versa.

  • Publication number: 20240284822
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for constructing a virtual boundary, an autonomous mobile mowing apparatus, and a user terminal. The method includes: controlling the autonomous mobile mowing apparatus to travel within a to-be-processed region from a starting point for map construction, and recording a position of the autonomous mobile mowing apparatus; and outputting a virtual boundary map when a boundary closing condition is satisfied. In the present disclosure, a boundary closing condition is set to replace manual guidance of the autonomous mobile mowing apparatus to perform boundary closure, and the virtual boundary map is output when the boundary closing condition is satisfied, thereby preventing the autonomous mobile mowing apparatus from repeated position adjustment and repeated crushing of a lawn for boundary closure, reducing the damage of the autonomous mobile mowing apparatus to the lawn, and improving the efficiency of virtual boundary closure.

  • Publication number: 20240284829
    Abstract: The present invention provides an end-effector (400) for a robotic arm in which a membrane (430) is inflatable to grasp an object. The end-effector comprises an internal volume (414) for receiving said object to be picked and the flexible membrane (430) within the internal volume. The membrane defines an aperture and an inflatable volume, and is configurable to increase the inflatable volume from an uninflated configuration to an inflated grasping configuration to thereby narrow the aperture and permit an object within the internal volume to be grasped. The present inventors have identified that by using an inflatable membrane to grasp a fruit or vegetable to be picked, swift picking and short cycle times can be achieved without damaging the vulnerable fleshy part of the fruit. The invention has particular application for the picking of soft fruits such as berries, e.g. raspberries, which are especially susceptible to damage.

    Abstract: Taught herein is an improvement over existing mechanisms for cutting down trees. According to one embodiment the instant invention is a tree cutter that is mountable on a skid loader or similar piece of heavy equipment. The tree cutter includes an integral liquid sprayer system that can be activated by the operator of the vehicle to which it is attached. In some embodiments the liquid that is dispensed is a herbicide that can be applied to the tree that has just been felled in order to make certain that it will not produce shoots that can potentially grow to replace the tree that had just been cut. It is therefore a general object of the present invention to provide an improved dual action tree cutting apparatus that also provides for application of a herbicide by the operator without stopping the rotation of the cutting blade or exiting the vehicle.
