Mowing control method and automatic mower

The embodiment of the invention provides a mowing control method and an automatic mower, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining the load information of a cutting motor of the automatic mower, and judging whether the load information meets a first preset condition or not; if yes, the running speed of the automatic mower is reduced, then whether the load information meets the first preset condition or not continues to be judged, and if yes, the height of a cutting piece driven by a cutting motor is increased till the load information does not meet the first preset condition. In this way, the risk that the load of the cutting motor is too large is effectively reduced, and the cutting integrity and regularity of lawns with high cutting difficulty are improved. 本发明实施例提供一种割草控制方法和自动割草机，所述方法通过获取自动割草机的切割电机的负载信息，判断所述负载信息是否满足第一预设条件；若是，降低自动割草机的行驶速度，然后继续判断负载信息是否满足第一预设条件，若是，则升高切割电机驱动的切割件的高度，直到负载信息不满足第一预设条件。如此，有效降低了切割电机负载过大的风险，提高了对切割难度大的草坪的切割完整性和整齐性。
