Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of lawnmowers. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for mowing grass.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] A lawnmower is a machine used to cut grass at an even height, typically featuring rotating blades that slice through the grass as the machine is pushed or driven over a lawn. Lawnmowers can be manually operated, battery-powered, or gasoline-driven, with some models offering automation and advanced features for convenience. Existing remote-controlled grass cutters typically have a fixed blade height, which leads to inconsistent cutting performance on uneven terrains. Moreover, most designs do not integrate an automated grass collection and composting mechanism. Also, adjusting the cutting position based on the uneven terrain.
[0004] A conventional autonomous robotic lawn mower, relies on a fixed blade height setting for cutting grass. The primary limitation of this system is its inability to handle uneven terrains effectively, leading to inconsistent grass cutting results on non-uniform surfaces. Another conventional lawnmower, also known as a smart lawn mower, focuses on energy efficiency through integrated solar panels but lacks an automated grass collection system. Users must manually collect and dispose of the clippings after mowing. There also exists a robotic grass cutter that is equipped with an obstacle avoidance and navigation system but is not equipped for terrain adaptability or grass collection. Although the navigation system is advanced, users are still required to manually adjust the blade height for different terrains and collect clippings post-mowing. There is also a lawn mower that allows users to program specific blade heights, but these settings are static and cannot adapt dynamically to the terrain during operation. While the ability to pre-set blade heights offers some customization, it does not eliminate the need for manual intervention when mowing across uneven ground. There also exists a small-scale grass-cutting machine that incorporates a basic collection system for clippings. However, the collection mechanism is limited in capacity and requires frequent emptying, especially for larger lawns.
[0005] To address these limitations, the present invention provides a novel apparatus and method that overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0032] The various embodiments throughout the disclosure will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGs. 1-3.
[0033] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary representation of the proposed apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0034] Illustrated in FIG. 1 is an exemplary representation of an apparatus 100 for mowing grass. The base structure of the apparatus 100 is a chassis 102 that provides stability and smooth movement over different terrains. The chassis 102 is mounted on wheels 104 comprising a pair of front wheels 104-1, 104-2 and a pair of rear wheels 104-3, 104-4. The wheels are fitted with robust rubber tires, and each is driven by DC motors 106, allowing precise control over movement of the apparatus 100. The chassis 102 of the apparatus 100 is the primary structural frame that supports all major components, including the wheels 104, motor, cutting blade, suction mechanism, and collection compartment. Built for durability, the chassis 102 provides a stable platform for operation on various terrains. The chassis 102 incorporates a four-wheeled design with robust rubber tires, driven by DC motors 106, allowing smooth movement and control. A triangular front edge is integrated into the chassis 102 to reduce resistance and safely part grass as the apparatus 100 moves forward. This foundation also houses the microcontroller and sensors, facilitating seamless integration of autonomous and remote-control functions.
[0035] The DC motors 106 are controlled by an H-Bridge motor driver connected to a microcontroller, such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The microcontroller takes instructions from a remote control or an autonomous system, like Global Positioning System (GPS) or sensors, enabling both remote and semi-autonomous navigation. The chassis 102 is provided with a front edge that is designed with a sharp, triangular shape that helps part the grass as the apparatus 100 moves forward. This reduces resistance and improves the efficiency of the cutting operation. The triangular design also minimizes the risk of sparks from sharp objects in the path, enhancing operational safety and durability. Directly behind the triangular edge are a plurality of blades 108, which are powered by the high-torque DC motor 106. The plurality of blades 108 is equipped with a self-adjusting mechanism controlled by servo motors. The adjustment of the plurality of blades 108 is based on the height of the grass, ensuring a consistent cut. The apparatus 100 is further equipped with ultrasonic sensors or Infrared (IR) sensors configured to detect grass height and trigger the height adjustment of the plurality of blades 108. The plurality of blades 108 includes sharp, high-torque blades designed to trim grass evenly as the apparatus 100 moves across a lawn. Positioned behind the triangular front edge, the plurality of blades 108 rotates at high speeds, powered by the central DC motor 106, to efficiently cut through various grass types and thicknesses. The plurality of blades 108 is equipped with a self-adjusting mechanism, controlled by sensors and servos, allowing the plurality of blades 108 to adapt the height based on ground surface variations for a consistent cut. The positioning of the plurality of blades 108 ensures that clippings are directed toward a suction system immediately after cutting. Made from durable materials, the plurality of blades 108 is designed for long-lasting, precise performance in outdoor conditions. Positioned directly behind the plurality of blades 108, is a suction fan 110, powered by the DC motor 108, creates a strong airflow to capture grass clippings immediately after cutting. The clippings are directed to a rear storage compartment 112. The rear storage compartment 112 is designed with a large capacity, ensuring that the apparatus 100 may cover significant areas before needing to be emptied. The apparatus 100 is further provided with a suction generator 114 and a suction inlet 116 that work together to efficiently collect grass clippings immediately after the grass is cut. The suction generator 114, powered by the DC motor 106, creates airflow that pulls the clippings through the suction inlet 116 positioned near the plurality of blades 108. This ensures that the lawn remains clean and free of debris as the apparatus 100 operates. The collected grass is then transported to the rear storage compartment 112, simplifying disposal and making the apparatus 100 more efficient. This feature saves time and effort by eliminating the need for manual raking. The main storage unit facilitates composting, turning the collected grass into natural compost over time, thus adding an eco-friendly feature to the apparatus 100. The apparatus 100 is configured to be operated remotely, enabling users to control it effortlessly across any lawn size or terrain. The apparatus 100 minimizes physical labour and efficiently covers uneven ground surfaces through its adaptive height and autonomous navigation. The height sensor 118 of the apparatus 100 measures the height of the grass just ahead of the cutting blade. The height sensor 118 typically uses ultrasonic or infrared technology to detect variations in grass length and ground level. This data is sent to the microcontroller, which adjusts the blade height to ensure a consistent, even cut across the lawn. When the height sensor 118 detects taller grass or uneven ground, the height sensor 118 signals the microcontroller to raise or lower the plurality of blades 108, adapting to the terrain in real time. This functionality helps prevent scalping or uneven cutting, ensuring that the lawn has a uniform appearance, regardless of surface variations.
[0036] When the rear storage compartment 112 becomes full, sensors (capacitive or weight-based) detect this and signal the apparatus 100 to return to a designated main storage unit. Here, the rear storage compartment 112 opens via a servo-driven mechanism, allowing the clippings to be transferred to the main storage unit. When the rear storage compartment 112 fills up, capacitive or weight-based sensors detect this and signal the apparatus 100 to return to the main storage unit. Upon arrival, a servo-driven mechanism opens the rear storage compartment 112, releasing the collected grass clippings. These clippings are then transferred into the main storage unit. This process allows for uninterrupted operation, as the robot autonomously empties its storage when needed. The main storage unit can also facilitate composting, turning the collected grass into natural compost. This automated transfer enhances efficiency and reduces manual handling of clippings.
[0037] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of a flow of the process of self-adjustment of the proposed apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0038] Illustrated in FIG. 2 is a representation 200 of the process of self-adjustment of the apparatus 100 for cutting grass at a consistent speed. The apparatus 100 is an advanced robotic lawnmower configured to autonomously cut grass, collect clippings, and manage waste disposal. The apparatus 100 moves on a sturdy, four-wheeled chassis with rubber tires for wheels 104, ensuring stability across different terrains. Each wheel 104 is powered by the DC motor 106, controlled via the microcontroller for precise remote or autonomous operation. There is provided the triangular, sharp-edged front shield at the front of the chassis 102 helps part the grass as the robot advances, reducing resistance and clearing the path for efficient cutting. Just behind the front edge, the plurality of blades 108, driven by the high-torque DC motor 106, trims the grass. Ultrasonic or IR sensors detect grass height, and servo motors adjust the blade height automatically for even cutting. The DC motor 106 powers the suction fan 110 positioned behind the plurality of blades 108. The suction fan 106 collects grass clippings immediately after cutting, ensuring a clean lawn with each pass. Clippings are transferred into the rear storage compartment 112, which is spacious and easy to access for emptying, extending operation time before disposal is required. Capacitive or weight-based sensors in the rear storage compartment 112 monitor the fullness of the rear storage compartment 112. When full, the sensors trigger the apparatus 100 to return to a main storage unit.
[0039] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram representation of a method of mowing grass by the proposed apparatus, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0040] Illustrated in FIG. 3 is a flow diagram representation of the method 300 of mowing grass by the apparatus 100. The method 300 begins with receiving 302, by the microcontroller, instructions pertaining to activation and height adjustment of the plurality of blades 108 from the user. The method 300 proceeds with enabling 304, by the microcontroller, the motor driver to control the DC motor 106 for wheel movement. The method 300 proceeds with activating 306, by the microcontroller, the plurality of blades 108 and adjusting a height and speed of the plurality of blades 108 for mowing grass. The method 300 proceeds with enabling 308, by the microcontroller, the suction fan 110 to direct the grass clippings into the rear storage compartment 112. The method 300 ends with transferring 310, by the microcontroller, the grass clippings from the rear storage compartment 112 to a composting box for disposal.
[0041] The microcontroller serves as the central processing unit of the apparatus 100, coordinating all the functions of the apparatus 100. The microcontroller controls the DC motor 106 that power each wheel, managing the speed, direction, and turning of the apparatus 100 across the lawn. The microcontroller sends signals to the H-Bridge motor driver that adjusts power to the DC motor 106, allowing the apparatus 100 to move forward, reverse, turn, or rotate as needed. The microcontroller uses the sensor data to adapt to the terrain, ensuring smooth operation on uneven surfaces. By adjusting the power output to each wheel 104, the microcontroller helps maintain balance and avoid tipping on sloped or bumpy areas. The microcontroller receives inputs from ultrasonic or infrared sensors that measure the height of the grass in front of the apparatus 100. Based on this data, the microcontroller sends signals to the servos that control the cutting blade height, ensuring that the plurality of blades 108 is raised or lowered for a consistent cut. When grass is detected, the microcontroller activates the DC motor 106 to power the plurality of blades 108, ensuring that cutting only occurs when necessary and conserving power when moving across bare or already-cut areas. The microcontroller controls the DC motor 106 responsible for suction, coordinating the suction fan 110 with the plurality of blades 108. The microcontroller activates the suction fan 110 when the plurality of blades 108 is in operation, ensuring that clippings are collected as they are cut. In response to feedback from the sensors, the microcontroller adjusts fan speed to increase suction power when dense grass is detected, improving collection efficiency and preventing clogging in the apparatus 100. The microcontroller receives signals from capacitive or weight sensors inside the rear storage compartment to monitor the fullness of the collection bin. When the bin reaches capacity, the microcontroller records this and initiates a return to the main storage unit. Upon reaching the main storage unit, the microcontroller activates the servo mechanism that opens the rear storage compartment 112, allowing grass clippings to empty out. The microcontroller then resets the collection sensors to allow continued operation. The microcontroller processes input from the sensors, such as infrared or ultrasonic proximity detectors, to identify obstacles in the path of the apparatus 100. When an obstacle is detected, the microcontroller halts movement, re-evaluates the path, and determines a new direction or issues an alert for remote operator intervention. The microcontroller uses input from specialized sensors near the blade to detect potential sparks or interactions with hard objects. When detected, the microcontroller either raises the plurality of blades 108 or powers down the cutting motor to prevent damage or fire hazards. When operated remotely, the microcontroller translates user inputs into movements and responses. The microcontroller processes directional commands to steer the apparatus 100 across the lawn, adapting to speed adjustments and turns as indicated by the user. If GPS or similar navigation capabilities are included, the microcontroller may guide the apparatus 100 to follow a pre-set path across the lawn, ensuring systematic and complete grass coverage. The microcontroller may also trigger returns to the main storage unit autonomously when the rear storage compartment 112 is full. The microcontroller constantly monitors battery levels, ensuring efficient power usage. If power levels fall below a threshold, the microcontroller may signal a low-power mode or return to a charging station if available. The microcontroller adjusts motor speeds and fan power dynamically to conserve battery life, especially when handling light cutting loads or moving over flat, even ground. The microcontroller may be connected to a display or LED indicator, which provides real-time feedback to the user on the status of the apparatus 100, such as full compartment alerts, battery levels, or cutting mode. The microcontroller may send notifications to a remote control or smartphone app, updating the user on the progress, collection bin status, or any errors detected in operation. The microcontroller may log data on cutting time, fan usage, battery performance, and distance covered, which is useful for maintenance, performance analysis, or optimizing future cutting sessions. In the event of a malfunction, the microcontroller records sensor readings and system status, helping diagnose issues like motor overloads, sensor faults, or obstacles encountered. By coordinating all these functions, the microcontroller acts as the brain of the apparatus 100, handling real-time decision-making for efficient and safe operation. This automation streamlines the lawn maintenance process, allowing the machine to perform reliably with minimal human intervention.
[0042] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the apparatus 100 is powered by a rechargeable battery pack (preferably lithium-ion) that provides sufficient power to the motors, sensors, and the microcontroller. The microcontroller handles the operation of the motors, sensors, and the plurality of blades 108. The microcontroller also receives inputs from the remote control and triggers movement or operational changes. The apparatus 100 may be controlled manually via RF communication or Bluetooth using a remote controller. The apparatus 100 can also operate autonomously using pre-programmed paths or GPS tracking. The apparatus 100 further includes a Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor battery health, recharge status, and power consumption. The apparatus 100 also features a low-battery detection unit that automatically returns the apparatus 100 to the charging dock when battery levels are low.
[0043] A use case of the apparatus 100 is described herein. Mr. X is the owner of a house with a large, uneven lawn that requires regular maintenance. So, Mr. X decides to set up the apparatus 100 for mowing the lawn. Mr. X controls the apparatus 100 remotely to cover the entire lawn. As the apparatus begins to move, the triangular front edge of the chassis 102 clears the path, allowing the plurality of blades 108 to cut grass without resistance. The ultrasonic sensors detect grass height, and the microcontroller adjusts the blade height accordingly for an even cut on slopes and dips. The suction fan 110 simultaneously collects clippings, storing them in the rear storage compartment 112. When the rear storage compartment 112 becomes full, the weight sensors signal the apparatus 100 to automatically return to the designated main storage unit. There, the door of the rear storage compartment 112 opens for dumping the clippings into the main storage unit for composting. Once emptied, the apparatus 100 returns to resume where the apparatus 100 left off. With remote control options, Mr. X may steer the apparatus 100 around obstacles or leave the apparatus 100 to autonomously follow a path, simplifying lawn care while ensuring even cutting, efficient collection, and composting-all without manual labour.
