Airflow Management

Abstract

The present invention relates to an airflow management system, particularly for a lawn mower, especially a robotic lawn mower. We describe a battery-operated robotic lawn mower with an active airflow management system, said active airflow management system comprising: at least one first air vent positioned on an underside of said mower; at least one second air vent; an internal housing surrounding a motor; a fan; and at least one cooling air channel located within said housing and around said motor. An air flow path is defined between the first and the second vents; and said at least one second vent has a lower air flow capacity than an air flow capacity of said at least one cooling air channel, such that in operation, a greater volume of air is drawn through the first vent than the second.
