    摘要: An agricultural applicator system is provided herein that includes a boom assembly and one or more nozzles positioned along the boom assembly. The one or more nozzles are configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. A sensor is operably coupled with the boom assembly and is configured to capture data associated with one or more application variables. A controller is commutatively coupled to the sensor and includes a processor and associated memory. The memory stores instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive the data associated with one or more application variables and provide a notification when the data associated with one or more application variables are outside of a range defined by a predefined lower and upper threshold. The controller may also pause an application operation of the agricultural product until the notification is acknowledged by an operator.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for nozzle control. The system includes an overall system pressure valve, configured to adjust the pressure of an agricultural product within a boom. A master node is configured to receive an overall system flow rate measurement, an overall target flow rate, and an overall system pressure measurement, the master node configured to adjust the overall system pressure valve to control the pressure of the agricultural product. A plurality of smart nozzles are configured to dispense the agricultural product, the plurality of smart nozzles each associated with an electronic control unit (ECU) and one or more individual nozzle, the smart nozzle is configured to control a nozzle flow rate of the associated one or more individual nozzles.

    摘要: A painting device includes a paint output part for outputting paint toward an object to be painted; an introduction pipe through which the paint flows and which introduces the paint into the paint output part; flowmeters placed outside the introduction pipe and measuring the flow rate of the paint in the introduction pipe; and a determination unit for determining whether the condition of the paint is normal on the basis of the result of measurement by the flow meters. The flow meter can be placed between an air motor and a valve. The flow meters can be placed downstream and upstream of the valve, respectively. The flow meters can be placed downstream and upstream of a joint, respectively. The flow meters can be placed downstream and upstream of a pump, respectively.

    摘要: A fire extinguisher discharge nozzle is provided and includes sidewalls and a biasing element. The sidewalls define an aperture through which a medium(s) is dischargeable and are adjustable between multiple first and multiple second positions associated with dilated and constricted conditions of the aperture, respectively. The biasing element is configured to bias the sidewalls toward assuming one of the multiple first or multiple second positions. The sidewalls are drivable toward assuming the other one of the multiple first or multiple second positions in opposition to bias applied by the biasing element in accordance with a characteristic of the medium(s).

    摘要: An exemplary dispensing system includes a dispenser, an actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The dispenser includes a container for holding liquid, a liquid pump, an air pump, an outlet nozzle, and a foaming media. The actuator causes the dispenser to dispense liquid or foam. The sensor generates an input signal indicative of a status of the container. The controller receives the input signal, generates at least one output signal, and prevents the dispenser from dispensing liquid or foam if a breach is detected in the container.
