In a preferred embodiment, the mower of the present embodiment comprises a mower body, a controller, and a cutter on the mower body, the cutter being offset to one side of the mower with respect to a longitudinal centerline of the mower body. The cutter head can be positioned at the left side of the mower body, and when the cutter head is positioned at the left side of the mower body, the cutter head can be intersected with or separated from the longitudinal midline of the mower body; the cutter head can also be positioned on the right side of the mower body, and when the cutter head is positioned on the right side of the mower body, the cutter head can be intersected with or separated from the longitudinal midline of the mower body. The diameter of the cutterhead is a, namely the diameter of a circular mowing area formed when the cutterhead mows is a. The distance from the edge of the cutter head close to the longitudinal midline of the mower body is b.
The controller is used for planning the mower body to travel according to an arched path, the arched path comprises a long side and a short side, wherein the short side is the travelling distance when the mower turns around, and the length of the short side is consistent; the long side is the mowing travelling distance of the mower, and the distance of the long side is changed according to the change of the mowing area. After the mower advances from the starting position to the end point according to the bow-shaped path, the mower returns to the starting position from the end point along the original path of the completed bow-shaped path. When the mower returns to the starting position from the end point along the original path of the finished bow-shaped path, the mower needs to turn around in situ at the end point, namely, the mower runs along the finished bow-shaped path after turning around at the end point. Based on the characteristic of cutter disc bias, the mowing area is reversed after turning around, so that mowing operation of the missed mowing area is just completed.
According to the embodiment, the problem of missed cutting of the cutter head offset mower is solved by the original return cutting mode, and the mowing quality is improved.

The embodiment provides the operation process of the mower when the cutter head is deviated to the left side of the mower body and the edge of the cutter head is adjacent to the longitudinal center line of the mower body, and the arched path extends from left to right, so that the mode of returning to cut through the original path is explained, the problem of missed cutting of the cutter head deviation mower is solved, and the mowing operation is completed.
In some embodiments of the mower, referring to fig. 10, the cutter is offset to the left of the mower body and the edge of the cutter is spaced from the longitudinal centerline of the mower body, i.e. the distance b from the edge of the cutter near the longitudinal centerline of the mower body to the longitudinal centerline of the mower body is greater than zero, and the boundary of the mowing area (hatched area in the figure) formed by the cutter is spaced from the longitudinal centerline of the mower body. The mower performs mowing operation along the bow-shaped path in a right-to-left direction, namely the extending direction of the bow-shaped path is from left to right. The start position is the position of the mower where mowing starts, and the end position is the position of the mower where mowing ends, and it is understood that the figure only shows a part of the bow-shaped path, and the rest of the bow-shaped path is repeated according to the path in the figure. The mower runs along an arcuate path, the length of the short side of the arcuate path is not greater than (a+b), the mower runs along an arcuate path with the short side (a+b), and the mower can be referred to for implementation when the length of the short side of the arcuate path is smaller than (a+b).
The mower in the figure travels along an arcuate path in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the shade is the coverage area of the cutterhead during mowing of the mower. As can be seen from the figure, the mower has a missed cut area during forward travel of the arcuate path due to the offset of the cutterhead. As can also be seen from the figure, the mowing area just covers the missed mowing area formed by forward running in the process that the mower returns to the starting position from the end point along the original path of the finished bow-shaped path, thereby forming a continuous mowing area and completing mowing operation.
The embodiment provides the operation process of the mower when the cutter head is deviated to the left side of the mower body and the edge of the cutter head is adjacent to the longitudinal center line of the mower body, and the mode of returning cutting through the original path is explained when the arched path extends from right to left, so that the problem of missed cutting of the cutter head deviation mower is solved, and the mowing operation is completed.
