Abstract: Equipped with a high-precision positioning and dual-battery rotation system, the electric wheeled lawn mower from Suzhou Xinzuobiao Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd enables 24-hour continuous autonomous mowing in orchards. Capable of covering approximately 2,000 square meters per hour, this zero-emission, electric-powered machine eliminates the need for chemical herbicides, supporting orchards, mountainous fruit farms, and agricultural bases in producing safe, green, and high-quality crops.
If your orchard operates under strict pesticide-free and herbicide-free standards, this equipment is designed to meet your needs.
Weeding has long been a major challenge for orchard growers. While chemical herbicides offer efficiency, their chemical residues can compromise fruit safety and soil health. Manual mowing provides a clean finish but is labor-intensive, costly, and finding workers during peak seasons is increasingly difficult.
To address these challenges, Suzhou Xinzuobiao Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd offers an electric wheeled mowing robot equipped with a dual-battery rotation system, designed for 24-hour continuous, zero-pollution, and autonomous orchard weeding.
Dual-Battery Rotation: Enabling 24/7 Continuous Operation
A common limitation of traditional electric machinery is the charge-to-use ratio—such as running for two hours and then waiting another two hours to recharge. This intermittent operation limits overall efficiency.
The XuanNiao R1 electric wheeled mower by Xinzuobiao Intelligence addresses this bottleneck with a dual-battery rotation system:
- Battery Life: A single battery provides approximately 2 hours of runtime, with an operational capacity of around 2,000 m² per hour.
- Dual-Battery Rotation: While one battery powers the active machine, the second battery is charging nearby.
- Seamless Transition: Once the active battery is depleted, it can be quickly replaced with the fully charged second battery, allowing the machine to resume operations promptly.
- Continuous Work Cycle: This cycle enables near-continuous operation day and night, making it easier to manage rapid weed growth during rainy seasons.
What does this mean for growers?
An orchard of 50 mu (approx. 33,000 m²) can be fully covered in less than a day based on a mowing rate of 2,000 m² per hour. By comparison, traditional manual weeding with a crew of five workers might take more than a full day to complete the same area.
Pure Electric, Zero Emissions: Protecting Orchard Ecosystems
The key challenge of orchard weeding is maintaining a clean environment without damaging the soil, trees, or human health. The advantages of our electric wheeled mower address this need:
- Zero Emissions: Powered by electricity rather than fuel, the mower eliminates exhaust fumes and oil leak risks, protecting the soil and root systems.
- Herbicide-Free: Mechanical mowing replaces chemical herbicides, eliminating chemical residues to meet food safety standards.
- Low Noise: Electric propulsion produces significantly less noise than traditional fuel-powered mowers, minimizing disturbance to nearby residents and livestock.
- Supporting Green Certification: Ideal for organic farms and green agricultural bases that require physical weeding methods to maintain certification.
High-Precision Positioning: Autonomous Navigation
Orchard terrain is often complex, characterized by narrow tree spacings, undulating slopes, and irrigation ditches. Manual mowing in these environments is physically demanding and risks damaging tree trunks and low-hanging fruit.
The mower developed by Xinzuobiao Intelligence features a high-precision RTK positioning and vision fusion navigation system:
- Autonomous Mapping: Upon entering the field, the system automatically maps the area, identifying tree positions, row paths, and boundaries.
- Intelligent Path Planning: It navigates in an “S-curve” path between rows, avoiding saplings, preventing collisions, and ensuring even coverage.
- Unattended Operation: Once the parameters are set, the machine operates autonomously without requiring constant supervision.
- Slope Adaptability: Designed to navigate gentle slopes and terraced orchards steadily without slipping.
Target Applications
- Flatland Orchards: Efficient row mowing for large, standardized orchards such as apple, pear, peach, and grape farms.
- Mountainous Orchards: Steady navigation on terraces and gentle slopes, replacing high-risk manual labor.
- Precision Cultivation Bases: Suitable for crops like blueberries, strawberries, and tea, where chemical herbicides cannot be used.
- Organic Farms: Meets the physical weeding requirements needed for organic certification through combined electric and mechanical mowing.
Conclusion
Orchard management does not have to be a compromise between the convenience of chemical herbicides and the high cost of manual weeding.
The electric wheeled lawn mower from Suzhou Xinzuobiao Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd offers a viable alternative by integrating a dual-battery rotation system, high-precision navigation, and clean electric power. By eliminating herbicides, operating without constant supervision, and enabling 24-hour continuous operation, this system aims to make orchard weeding more manageable, safe, and sustainable.
