Abstract
A sprayer includes a nozzle, a nozzle actuator connected to the nozzle, and a controller in communication with the nozzle actuator. The controller receives wind data (e.g. from a wind sensor), determines a nozzle adjustment based on the wind data, and controls the nozzle actuator to alter a spray state of the nozzle based on the nozzle adjustment.
Claims31
A sprayer comprising:
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle actuator connected to the nozzle;
- and
- a controller in communication with the nozzle actuator, the controller:
- receiving wind data;
- determining a nozzle adjustment based on the wind data;
- and
- controlling the nozzle actuator to alter a spray state of the nozzle based on the nozzle adjustment.
The sprayer of claim wherein the controller controls the nozzle actuator to alter the spray state of the nozzle by altering a spray pattern of the nozzle from a current nozzle spray pattern to an adjusted nozzle spray pattern.
A system for spraying fluid, the system comprising:
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle actuator connected to the nozzle;
- a wind sensor;
- and
- a controller in communication with the nozzle actuator and the wind sensor, the controller:
- receiving wind data from the wind sensor;
- determining a nozzle adjustment based on the wind data;
- and
- controlling the nozzle actuator to alter a spray state of the nozzle based on the nozzle adjustment.
A method for spraying fluid, the method comprising:
- flowing fluid through a nozzle;
- receiving wind data from a wind sensor;
- determining a nozzle adjustment based on the wind data;
- and
- controlling a nozzle actuator connected to the nozzle to alter a spray state of the nozzle based on the nozzle adjustment.
