To specifically explain the embodiment shown in the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a walk-behind rotary power lawn mower to which the present invention is applicable.
is a housing that covers the horizontal rotary cutting blade 2 and whose rear part is connected to the cut grass storage bag 3; 4 is an engine; 5 is a wheel;
6 is a handle. In Fig. 2, 7 is the oil pan of the engine, and 8 is the output shaft of the engine, which transmits power to the cutting blade shaft 10 via a friction clutch mechanism 9.
Since the one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 50642 and other known ones are applicable, they are omitted from the figure.

In the present invention, a gap 15 is formed between the upper opening surface 12 of the case 11 surrounding the side surface of the clutch mechanism 9, that is, the upper surface 13 of the housing 1 below the engine, and the skirt portion 14 of the engine 4. The rectifying plate 16 for the air sucked into the housing 1 by the rotation of the cutting blade 2 in the gap is arranged obliquely with respect to the radial direction, and the rectifying plate 16 is arranged so as to be connected to the engine 4.
It is provided integrally with the oil pan 7 in the form of a cooling fin.

This type of lawn mower generally blows the cut grass backwards using an airflow generated within the housing 1 by the rotation of the cutting blade or the action of a fan that rotates integrally with the cutting blade, and stores it in the bag 3. The air was normally drawn in through the gap between the housing and the ground. However, recent safety regulations have narrowed this gap. In particular, lawn mowers with a low cutting height tend to have insufficient intake air, which tends to reduce mowing performance.

Therefore, as described above, the present invention has a structure in which an air intake gap 15 is provided between the engine 4 and the housing 1 to supplement the amount of intake air from the lower peripheral edge of the housing 1, even when the cutting height is low. A sufficient amount of intake air can be obtained to maintain high mowing performance. Since the intake air baffle plate 16 is provided in the annular gap 15, the air is sucked in in a swirling manner to improve the efficiency of conveying the grass clippings to the storage bag. Since it is provided in the form of a cooling fin integrally with 7, the current plate 1
The lubricating oil in the oil pan 7 is efficiently cooled by the large amount of air that comes into contact with the oil pan 6. Furthermore, even if large dead leaves or the like attached to the upper surface of the housing 1 are sucked in, the dead leaves will be drawn outward by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation and will not become entangled with the internal clutch mechanism 9 or the like.

As shown in the figure, if the skirt part 14 of the engine 4 is raised to create a gap 15 and the baffle plate 16 is integrally formed on the oil pan 7 and the skirt part 14 at the bottom surface of the skirt part 14, it is not necessary to process the housing 1. Therefore, it is suitable for press-forming the housing 1 from a metal plate. Another advantage is that it can be applied to any type of housing.
