    摘要: An agricultural sprayer includes a chassis and a boom arm supported on the chassis, with the boom arm moveable relative to the chassis. Furthermore, the agricultural sprayer includes a plurality of nozzle assemblies supported on the boom arm, with the plurality of nozzle assemblies configured to dispense an agricultural fluid onto an underlying field. Additionally, the agricultural sprayer includes a cab supported on the chassis, a platform supported on the chassis and positioned outside of the cab, and a railing pivotably coupled to the platform. Moreover, the agricultural sprayer includes an actuator configured to pivot the railing relative to the platform. In addition, the agricultural sprayer includes a computing system configured to receive an input indicative of a position of the boom arm relative to the chassis and control an operation of the actuator based on the position of the boom arm relative to the chassis.

    摘要: The agricultural sprayer includes a base with two vertical guides fixed thereon and carriages mounted on and capable of traveling along said guides. A ducted fan is turnably mounted on axles between the carriages. The inner surface of the fan duct is equipped with nozzles connected to a liquid container. One of the carriages consists of two parts: the first and the second one, with the second part capable of moving relative to the first one. The first and the second parts of said carriage have a duct-swinging crank-rocker mechanism mounted thereon. Said mechanism is configured for setting the inclination angle of the fan duct and adjusting its oscillation amplitude.

    摘要: A system for controlling a ground speed of an agricultural sprayer includes one or more sensors configured to capture data indicative of first and second application variables and a computing system communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. In this respect, the computing system configured to determine the first and second application variables based on the data captured by the one or more sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a spray quality index associated with the dispensing of an agricultural fluid onto a field by the agricultural sprayer based on the determined first and second application variables. Moreover, the computing system is configured to control the ground speed at which the agricultural sprayer travels across the field based on the determined spray quality index.

    摘要: A method for weed management is provided. The method may comprise collecting image data of a plantation field after being applied with a primary weed control technique. The method may further include recognizing items indicative of an occurrence of a weed in the collected image data. The method may further include generating a weed pressure map indicative of a weed pressure in the plantation field. The method may further include determining one or a plurality of target areas for weed management in the generated weed pressure map and outputting a treatment control signal, which, when transmitted, causes an activation of at least one weed treatment device to apply at least one secondary weed control technique to the one or the plurality of determined target areas, wherein the at least one secondary weed control technique is different from the primary weed control technique.
