Publication number: 20250081871Abstract: Disclosed are a perforator and a lawn aerator. The perforator includes a main portion and a plurality of perforating portions. The main portion is in a disk shape, and the plurality of perforating portions are integrally formed with the main portion. The plurality of perforating portions extend radially outward from an outer periphery of the main portion, and arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. Each perforating portion is recessed in an axial direction, so that two opposite surfaces of the perforating portion in the axial direction are respectively a first concave surface and a first convex surface. According to this configuration, both a relatively high density of the aeration holes and a relatively large aeration hole size can be obtained. In addition, the first concave surface and the first convex surface can help to strengthen the perforating portion, thereby preventing the perforating portion from deforming.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Suzhou Firefly Information Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Muzhi HUANG

Publication number: 20250081872Abstract: Disclosed are a perforator and a lawn aerator. The perforator includes a main portion and a plurality of perforating portions. The main portion is in a disk shape, and the perforating portions are integrally formed with the main portion. The perforating portions extend radially outward from an outer periphery of the main portion, and are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the main portion. Each perforating portion forms a cutting portion at a distal end thereof. Between cutting portions of any two adjacent perforating portions, an edge of the perforator is turned over towards one side of the perforator to form a turned-over portion. According to this configuration, a greater bending strength can be obtained. In addition, the connecting portion of the perforating portion and the main portion can be strengthened.
