Abstract
A system includes a spray tool including a trigger and a sensor. The system includes a fluid regulation system including a container configured to store a coating material and a pump configured to control a flow of the coating material. The system includes a pump control system including a controller configured to change an operating parameter of the pump distributing the coating material in response to an input from the sensor. The pump control system is coupled to the fluid regulation system.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a manual spray tool comprising:
- a trigger and a sensor, wherein the sensor is disposed within the trigger and is configured to output a wireless signal;
- a wireless signal transmitting system including the sensor;
- and
- a power assembly comprising an electric generator and a cascade voltage multiplier, wherein the power assembly is configured to power the wireless signal transmitting system, wherein the power assembly is further configured to apply an electric charge to a spray of a coating material discharged by the manual spray tool;
- a fluid regulation system, comprising:
- a container configured to store the coating material;
- a pump configured to control a flow of the coating material;
- and
- a pump control system, comprising:
- a controller comprising a wireless signal receiver configured to receive the wireless signal, wherein the controller is configured to change an operating parameter of the pump distributing the coating material based on the wireless signal,
- wherein the pump control system is coupled to the fluid regulation system.
