  • Patent number: 11758837
    Abstract: A spray apparatus for a vehicle includes a processing unit with at least one image of an environment. The processing unit analyzes the at least one image to activate at least one chemical spray unit mounted on the vehicle. Air is blown by at least one air blower mounted on the vehicle into a first downward directed air flow with respect to the vehicle. Air is directed by at least one diverter mounted on the vehicle into a second downward directed air flow with respect to the vehicle. A chemical spray unit of the at least one chemical spray unit is positioned relative to one or more air blowers and is positioned relative to one or more air diverters such that ejected liquid chemical is at least partially entrained within the first downward directed air flow and is at least partially entrained within the second downward directed air flow.

  • Patent number: 11668061
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular system for weed control for a rail vehicle. The modular system has a control module including a control unit and a control module. The control unit is configured to generate a first set of control signals for controlling valves and mixers in an herbicide and mixing module configured to mix an herbicide mixture and to generate a second set of control signals for controlling valves of a nozzle assembly. The herbicide and mixing module has a plurality of containers for receiving different herbicides. The nozzle assembly has a first set of nozzles for spraying herbicides, and the control module, the herbicide and mixing module, and the nozzle assembly can each be individually fixed to a carrier element in a reversible manner.
