Mower, ground maintenance system and ground maintenance method

A ground maintenance system comprising

• a mower and a collector,
• wherein
• the mower comprises
• a first traveling unit,
• a first operating unit comprising a blade configured to mow grass on a ground, and
• a first guide member provided in front of at least one of the first traveling unit and the first operating unit,
• wherein the first guide member is horizontally inclinable to the at least one of the traveling unit and the first operating unit,
• wherein the first guide member comprises a first right guide member including a first front right end and first rear right end in the travel direction;
• and a first left guide member including a first front left end and a first rear left end in the travel direction,
• wherein each of the first right guide member and the first left guide member is horizontally rotatable about a vertical axis on each of the first right guide member and the first left guide member relative to the at least one of the first traveling unit and the first operating unit,
• wherein the first right guide member and the first left guide member are configured to horizontally rotate in opposite directions with the first front right end and the first front left end coming in contact with each other while the first rear right end and the first rear left end move apart from each other,
• wherein
• while the first traveling unit travels forward, the first guide member is configured to move an object on the ground that is in contact with the first guide member along the first guide member and laterally and rearward away from the mower, and
• the collector comprises
• a second traveling unit,
• a second operating unit configured to collect and receive the object on the ground, and
• a second guide member provided in front of at least one of the second traveling unit and the second operating unit, and rotatable or slidable horizontally to at least one of the second traveling unit and the second operating unit,
• wherein
• the second guide member comprises a second right guide member and a second left guide member,
• the second right guide member and the second left guide member are apart from each other at a space interval,
• the mower and the collector are configured to travel on the ground simultaneously or sequentially.

A ground maintenance method using a mower and a collector, comprising:

• having the mower and the collector travel on a ground simultaneously or sequentially,
• collecting an object on the ground by the collector and receiving the object into a container of the collector,
• mowing grass on the ground by a blade of the mower, and
• moving the object along a first guide member and laterally and rearward away from the mower, wherein the first guide member is horizontally inclinable to the mower, wherein the first guide member is provided on the front-end of the mower in a traveling direction of the mower while the object on the ground contacts with the guide member,
• wherein the mower comprises
• a first traveling unit, and
• a first operating unit,
• wherein the first guide member comprises a first right guide member including a first front right end and first rear right end in the travel direction;
• and a first left guide member including a first front left end and a first rear left end in the travel direction,
• wherein each of the first right guide member and the first left guide member is horizontally rotatable about a vertical axis on each of the first right guide member and the first left guide member relative to the at least one of the first traveling unit and the first operating unit,
• wherein the first right guide member and the first left guide member are configured to horizontally rotate in opposite directions with the first front right end and the first front left end coming in contact with each other while the first rear right end and the first rear left end move apart from each other, and
• the collector comprises
• a second traveling unit,
• a second operating unit, and
• a second guide member provided in front of at least one of the second traveling unit and the second operating unit, and rotatable or slidable horizontally to at least one of the second traveling unit and the second operating unit,
• wherein
• the second guide member comprises a second right guide member and a second left guide member,
• the second right guide member and the second left guide member are apart from each other at a space interval.
