Development Process | Auto Dumping Bag
The Spark of an Idea
While browsing YouTube videos, we noticed people need to manually remove and empty the grass catcher multiple times during lawn care. On average, they had to empty the catcher after mowing approximately every 20 square meters.
This caused trouble for lawn care, which sparked the idea of developing an automatic grass dumping module to address this issue and enhance the user experience. By introducing an automatic grass dumping feature, we could eliminate the frequent need for manual grass removal, streamlining the mowing process and saving users valuable time and effort.
Research and Proposal Confirmation
Research and Proposal Confirmation
We researched the existing grass dumping accessories on the market and sent out a large number of questionnaires to finally confirm our design goals.
Design Goals
Design Goals
- The structure must meet strength requirements while being simple, stable, cost-effective, lightweight, and highly reliable.
- It should enable fully automatic grass dumping and allow for convenient attachment and detachment from the main machine body as an accessory.
- During grass collection, there should be no significant grass leakage, and the opening should be sufficiently large to ensure smooth dumping.
- After prolonged use, the grass catcher may accumulate dirt, so attachments should be easy to clean and maintain.
- An integrated grass-full detection system is required.
