Abstract
A lawn mower includes a drive source for driving a cutter blade through a rotation shaft, a flap provided for the cutter blade in a manner that the flaps have a flap angle changeable along a horizontal line which is perpendicular to the rotation shaft, an actuator for controlling the flap angle of the flaps, a control unit for controlling the actuator, and a blade switching unit for switching the cutter blade between an operation state and a stop state. When the control unit determines that a stop switch signal has been received from the blade switching unit, the control unit controls the actuator to increase the flap angle of the flaps.
Claims4
A lawn mower comprising:
- a cutter blade rotatable about a rotation shaft extending in a vertical direction;
- a drive source configured to drive the cutter blade through the rotation shaft;
- a flap provided for the cutter blade, the flap having a flap angle changeable along a horizontal line which is perpendicular to the rotation shaft;
- an actuator configured to control the flap angle of the flap;
- a control unit configured to control the actuator;
- and
- a blade switching unit configured to switch the cutter blade between an operation state and a stop state,
- wherein the control unit is configured to control the actuator in a manner that the flap angle of the flap is increased in a case in which the control unit determines that a stop switch signal has been received from the blade switching unit.
