Work vehicle sprayer system and method with nozzle monitoring

A sprayer system for dispersing a primary fluid on a work vehicle, comprising:

• at least a first nozzle apparatus configured to disperse the primary fluid and to execute a cleaning event;
• a first sensor configured to generate signals associated with vibrations of the first nozzle apparatus during operation;
• and
• a controller having a processor receiving the signals generated by the first sensor and having a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions, the processor executing the stored instructions to:
• convert the vibrations into a frequency domain representation;
• generate an image from the frequency domain representation;
• execute image recognition with a neural network to classify the image with regard to a clog condition;
• generate, based on the clog condition of the classified image, a clog condition probability;
• compare the clog condition probability to a clog condition threshold;
• generate, when the clog condition probability meets or exceeds the clog condition threshold, a cleaning event command;
• and
• initiate, based on the cleaning event command, a cleaning event of the first nozzle apparatus.
