Abstract

A mower includes a cutter, a deck, a power unit, and a rotary unit. The deck includes a housing formed with a cutting cavity that connects with a grass discharge passage through a first outlet. The rotary unit includes a rotary body that includes a blocking portion and a connecting portion connected to each other. The rotary unit is capable of rotating to a first position or a second position. When the rotary unit is at the first position, the blocking portion blocks the first outlet. When the rotary unit is at the second position, the first outlet is opened. The deck further includes a first base plate. The first base plate is at least partially located below the rotary unit. The blocking portion mates with the first base plate, and the first base plate limits the downward movement of the blocking portion.

a cutter having at least one blade disposed in the cutting cavity;
a power unit driving the cutter to rotate in the cutting cavity;
a blocking portion having a first state in which the blocking portion blocks the first outlet and a second state in which the blocking portion does not block the first outlet;
a detection unit configured to detect when the blocking portion is in the first state or the second state and to generate a corresponding state indication signal of the first outlet;
