  • Publication number: 20220062934
    Abstract: A nozzle monitoring system is provided for a sprayer system of a work vehicle. The system includes a first sensor configured to generate signals associated with vibrations of a first nozzle apparatus on the work vehicle that disperses a primary fluid from the sprayer system 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 executes the stored instructions to: convert the vibrations into a frequency domain representation; generate an image from the frequency domain representation; classify the image to generate a clog condition probability; and generate, based on the clog condition probability, a command to initiate a cleaning event of the first nozzle apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10989833
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus is provided for a grain loss monitoring system associated with an agricultural material. The sensor apparatus includes a housing with a first wall including a transparent panel. The sensor apparatus includes at least one acoustic sensor arranged within the interior and configured to collect an acoustic data stream of vibrations associated with the agricultural material striking the transparent panel; and at least one optical sensor arranged within the interior and configured to collect an image data stream of images of the agricultural material through the transparent panel. The at least one acoustic sensor is configured to provide the acoustic data stream and the at least one optical sensor is configured to provide the image data stream such that a verified grain count is determined based on the acoustic data stream and the image data stream.
