MOWS DRILL

Drill — an excellent universal drive for a variety of devices. In our magazine we published the suggestions of readers on how to expand the scope of this tool. Today we will talk about lawn mower, driven by the same drill.

 

The kinematics of this mechanical assistant gardener is very simple. The eccentric and the connecting rod converts the rotation of the shaft to reciprocating motion of a rod and associated movable knife. Last, moving relative to the stationary, cuts the stems of plants.

 

Now about the design. The entire device is fixed on a split flange, but the neck of the prescribed drill. Chuck with spindle removed and in its place planted the Cam. It is best to make it composite, vytachiv Central part made of aluminum, and bronze. Steel rod fixed plate, screwed to the end face of the eccentric.

 

The cylindrical part of the rod freely cialisit in the guide — dural bar with a through hole.

Frame cutting apparatus is dural area with a flange width of about 3 mm. Knives, movable and stationary, are best cut from the saw blade paintings on wood. The paintings are placed at the vertices of the obtained triangles serverlists holes Ø 4 — 6 mm, with lever shear is removed the “extra” material; the teeth of the knives are sharpened.

 

On the bed of cutter knives are mounted as shown in figure 1.

 

 

 

For the eccentric mechanism of the mower, you need to make the case It consists of a base (made of anodized aluminum, 3 mm thick), curved wall (made of anodized aluminum, 2 mm thick) and cover. The connection elements of the housing with M4 screws in the corners.

Assembling the mower starts with installation on the drill, cut the flange. Fixing it on the neck of a drill steel clamp. Further, on the conical shank of the spindle is worn eccentric, and his rod. The last plate is fixed with a screw. Then to split the flange is attached to the base of the housing of the eccentric mechanism, and a it — guide. The rod connects with the rod cylindrical finger or bolt with nut.

 

 

 

Then privertyvaetsja to a guide frame of the cutting unit (dural area), and on it are mounted the blades — movable and stationary. Manually turning the spindle of the drill, make sure to ease the movement and, if necessary, modify the sliding surfaces. If everything is in order, gather the other elements of the housing of the eccentric mechanism is a drill you can plug it in and try out the mower already electric.

 

To use this helper gardener in two ways — if you cut the shrub to keep on weight, and mowing lawns to match with a simple two-wheeled cart. The power button of the drill in this case you should block and control any switch installed on the handle of the trolley.
