Patent number: 11910760Abstract: A watering system (100) includes a watering robot (102). The watering robot (102) further includes an irrigation controller (110) configured to operate within a region (114). A connector portion (106) is coupled to the body (104), and is adapted to couple with the one or more water supplying units (116) to receive water therefrom. The watering system (100) is characterized in that a sensor (130) of the watering robot (102) detects the one more water supplying units (116) to selectively integrates therewith. An actuator (140) of the watering robot (102) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to a ground surface (120) of the region (114). The watering robot (102) automatically couples with the one or more water supplying units (116) through the connector portion (106), and the actuator (140) at least partially lifts up the watering robot (102) with respect to the ground surface (120).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: HUSQVARNA ABInventors: Christoph Schenk, Rainer Kaupp, Rudolf Pfau, Florian Soor

Patent number: 11844315Abstract: A system may include a sensor disposed on a parcel of land, watering equipment comprising a watering pump and processing circuity, and a user terminal comprising a user interface. The sensor may be configured to detect moisture conditions. The processing circuitry may be configured to direct the watering pump to operate in accordance with an operational mode. The user terminal may be configured to output system information via the user interface based on sensor data provided by the sensor, control the watering pump to operate in accordance with the operational mode, and delegate operational control of the system to a second user in response to a delegation input provided by a first user via the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: HUSQVARNA ABInventors: Johannes Gungl, Florian Soor, Horst Schnürle, Philipp Bolliger

Patent number: 11622513Abstract: A system with sensor equipment including one or more sensors and watering equipment disposed on a parcel of land and configured to selectively apply water to the parcel, and a gateway configured to provide for communication with the sensor equipment and the watering equipment. The watering equipment comprises a watering pump, wherein the watering pump is operably coupled to a water source and a water line to alternately couple the water source to and isolate the water source from the water line. The watering pump further includes a pump sensor assembly configured to direct the watering pump based on detected environmental and operational parameters.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: HUSQVARNA ABInventors: Johannes Gungl, Florian Soor, Thomas Schabel, Juergen Link, Wolfgang Schwarz
