Background of the Invention
US4878338A: A grass cutting machine has two forward cutting units (24) and one rear central unit (46). The mechanism at, for example, the margin of a golf green, provides a time delay between lifting or lowering of the front (24) and rear cutting units (46) which is determined by the distance travelled by the machine. In this way it is ensured that all unites start and stop cutting at the same reference point on the ground
CN101444160B: The invention relates to a front hanging type electro motion grass-mowing machine which belongs to the technical field of garden instruments. The main structure of the invention comprises an electric motor car. The invention is characterized in that the front end of the car frame of the electric motor car is connected and provided with a grass mowing machine, the grass mowing machine comprises a steel frame and a grass mowing disc connected to the lower part of the steel frame, lateral sides of the steel frame are provided with mounting idler wheels, the bottom of the grass mowing disc is provided with three pairs of blades which are arrayed in a structure like the Chinese character 'PIN', the blades are connected to both ends of the fixing plate, and the fixing plate forms a transmission connected with a direct current motor fixed on the grass mowing disc. The front end of the car frame of the electric motor car of the front hanging type electromotion grass-mowing machine is connected and provided with the grass mowing machine, which is convenient for assembly, disassembly, maintenance and operation; the bottom of the grass mowing disc is provided with the blades which are arrayed in the structure like the Chinese character 'pin', so that greensward can be trimmed once, the problem that partial grass cannot be cut cannot occur, and efficient and full lawn trimming can be realized; moreover, the electric motor car has compact structure and low production cost, and adopts environmental protection lead acid cells as the power supply of the electric motor car, so that the invention cannot pollute environment and has long service life.
CN108243709B: The invention relates to a hand-push type mower for gardens, which comprises a frame, a cutting mechanism, a height adjusting mechanism and a locking mechanism, wherein the cutting mechanism is arranged in front of the lower section of the frame, the cutting mechanism is movably arranged on the frame and can slide along the vertical direction relative to the frame, the height adjusting mechanism comprises a long rod and a short rod, the bottom of the long rod is hinged to the top of the cutting mechanism, the bottom of the short rod is hinged to the rear of the lower section of the frame, the top of the short rod is hinged to the middle section of the long rod, and the projections of the long rod and the short rod along the vertical direction are overlapped. The invention has the advantages that the height adjustment is realized mainly through the lever action of the long rod and manual driving without the cooperation of other power systems, so the structure is simpler, more efficient and more practical, and the whole weight of the mower is lighter after the power system is saved, thereby reducing the physical consumption of workers.

To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
The pre-existing grass cutting machines runs on the fuels like diesel or kerosene, which have a harmful effect in the environment such as air pollution, soil contamination, etc. There is no such technological advancement in the prevailing machine in the markets. So, we define an AI and IoT based controller for electric grass cutter with solar panel. It makes the grass cutting machine, an eco-friendly portable machine. It minimizes the running cost, easier and less expensive to maintain. It comprises of all latest advance level features which are missing in the pre-existing models.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The illustrated embodiments of the subject matter will be understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. The following description is intended only by way of example, and simply illustrates certain selected embodiments of devices, systems, and methods that are consistent with the subject matter as claimed herein, wherein:
Figure 1 In this controller, it comprises of the computing unit (10). Firstly, the operator defines the various settings to operate the grass cutting machine such as the depth of the blade, speed of the blade, setting up the blade speed, etc. All the information is displayed over the display unit (11), which is connected by the computing unit (10). The operator can read and access all information through this. Further, relay (12) is connected to the electric motor (13) in the machine, which contains the metallic blade (14) at its end. The relay (12) is responsible for all the changes related to the blade (14) such as its height adjustment, speed, etc.
There are various sensors that are attached to the computing unit (10). The height adjusting sensor (15) adjusts the height of the blade as defined by the operator. The vibration sensor (16) and temperature sensor (17) detects the unusual vibrations and rise of temperature in the electric motor (13) (if any) and alarms the operator if there are any chances of malfunction in the electric motor (13), displaying it on the display unit (11).
The computing unit (10) is powered by the battery management (18). There are two ways for charging the battery: 1. through the external power supply (19). 2. through solar power supply (20). The external power supply (19) is connected by the AC charger/external socket. The photovoltaic solar panel, that is placed over the body of the grass cutter charges the battery and contributes in the battery management (18) making it more convenient and efficient.
Also, bluetooth (21) is connected to the computing unit (10). The bluetooth (21) transmits all the essential information to the smartphone’s (22) through the RF channel. Here, the operator receives all the information like the battery level percentage.
The figures depict embodiments of the present subject matter for the purposes of illustration only. A person skilled in the art will easily recognize from the following description that alternative embodiments of the structures and methods illustrated herein may be employed without departing from the principles of the disclosure described herein.

There is no such technological advancement in the prevailing machine in the markets. The pre-existing grass cutting machines runs on the fuels like diesel or kerosene, which have a harmful effect in the environment such as air pollution, soil contamination, etc. So, we define an AI and IoT based controller for electric grass cutter with solar panel. Our model is portable, easy to carry and use. It consists of the cutting machine alone, not the whole vehicle, on which the cutting machine is attached. It runs on the fuel like diesel, but our model simply runs on the battery power supply. The controller that we have introduced has an extra advantage that the battery can be charged through the external AC supply as well as charge through the photoelectric solar panels. Our controller is more technological advanced in terms of features such as speed of the blade, battery level indicator, height adjustment, etc. It makes the grass cutting machine, an eco-friendly portable machine. It minimizes the running cost, easier and less expensive to maintain. It comprises of all latest advance level features which are missing in the pre-existing models.
