Abstract:

In response to frequent rollover safety accidents on the transverse slope of the zero turning radius lawnmower in recent years， based on the quasi-static dynamics theory， a parametric mechanical model that can predict and analyze the instability of the ZTR lawn mower under ramp conditions is established. According to the actual working state of the mower， the driver factor and the influence of different specifications of cutting tools on the vehicle rollover stability under the suspension and traction state are added. The theoretical rollover prediction equation was solved using Matlab， and the relationship between the lateral load transfer rate of the lawnmower （M-LTR） and its rollover sensitive parameters was analyzed under different working conditions. Using ADAMS to conduct multiple sets of simulation experiments on the lawnmower， further verify the accuracy of the parameterized model. Through experiments， it is found that the traction cutter at the bottom of the lawn mower has stronger anti-rollover performance than the suspension cutter： the critical roll angle of the 1.2m and 1.8m suspension cutters is increased compared with the bare car about 7% and 10%； with 1.2m and 1.8m and specifications of the vehicle with traction cutting the critical roll angle are improved compared with naked car about 9% and 21%. According to this characteristic， it is recommended that when designing working instruments for agricultural or garden vehicles， priority is given to the bottom center traction structure to improve the safety of various vehicles working on slopes.
