Electric work vehicle and mower unit

A work vehicle includes: a body; a travel device supporting the body; a travel driver configured to drive the travel device; a brake configured to lock and unlock the travel device; a deactivation operation tool manually movable to a first position, at which the brake is operable to be activated and deactivated, and a second position, at which the brake is kept deactivated; a position detector configured to detect that the deactivation operation tool is at the second position; and a notifier configured to provide, based on a result of the detection by the position detector, a notification that the deactivation operation tool is at the second position.

Work vehicle

A power supply device for an electric work vehicle, including: a battery by which an electric work vehicle is drivable; a first connection unit for an internal inverter configured to convert DC power from the battery into AC power, and output the AC power to an internal electric device installed in the electric work vehicle; a second connection unit for an external inverter configured to convert DC power from the battery into AC power, and output the AC power to an external electric device; and a battery control unit connected to the first connection unit and the second connection unit, and configured to control charging of, and power supply from, the battery, wherein the battery control unit is configured to communicate with the external inverter side via the second connection unit to perform authentication regarding whether or not power supply to the external inverter is permitted.

Power supply device for electric work vehicle

An electric powered work vehicle is to be configured so that holding of the battery at the storage position can be carried out easily at the time of attachment of the battery. There is provided guide mechanism for movably guiding the battery while supporting it along a horizontal direction between a storage position and a detachment position located away from the storage position along the horizontal direction. There is provided a holding mechanism configured to be automatically operated to a holding state capable of holding the battery at the storage position when the battery is moved to the storage position along the guide mechanism. There is provided a releasing operational portion manually operable to render the holding mechanism to a releasing state for allowing movement of the battery to the detachment position.

Battery attachment mechanism

A stand for a charger includes an attachment portion attachable and detachable to and from the charger and a leg portion configured to be capable of supporting the charger with the charger being lifted up off the ground surface when the stand is attached to the charger.

Stand for charger

A movement assisting tool () includes an attachment portion () that can be attached to and removed from a main body portion () of a battery unit (), leg portions () that are coupled to the attachment portion () and extend from the attachment portion (), and moving wheels () that are supported by extension portions of the leg portions (). In a state where the attachment portion () has been attached to the main body portion () of the battery unit () and the moving wheels () are touching the ground, the battery unit () can be kept in an inclined orientation in which the wheels () are touching the ground and ground contact portions () are raised above the ground.

Movement assisting tool

A cutter blade for a mower is disposed inside a housing of the mower and rotatably driven about a vertical axis. The cutter blade includes a blade body a blade portion provided at least at a part of a rotational direction-wise front end portion of the blade body, and a wind generating portion provided at least at a part of a rotational direction-wise rear end portion of the blade body, the wind generating portion extending more upwards than the blade portion. A thickness of the wind generating portion at the rotational direction-wise rear end portion is smaller at least partially than a thickness of the remaining part of the wind generating portion.
