  • Publication number: 20200305408
    Abstract: A method for detecting at least one spray liquid data set of a spray liquid applied to an agricultural area using at least one spray nozzle unit of a spraying device. The method includes receiving a property signal, including a piece of property information of the spray liquid detected using a sensor unit of the spraying device in a through-flow area of the spray nozzle unit during an application operation of the spray liquid; receiving a position signal, including a piece of position information of the spray liquid, using a position unit, the position information representing a geographic position of the spray liquid during the application operation of the spray liquid; and storing the property information and/or a piece of spray liquid information of the applied spray liquid ascertained using the property information, together with the associated position information, using an information unit, for detecting the spray liquid data set.

  • Publication number: 20200281185
    Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge unit (10?) for discharging a final liquid having a defined final mixing ratio, in particular for agricultural purposes, having a first pre-mixing unit (12), which is designed to mix a first liquid with a first carrier liquid, in particular water, to form a first pre-diluted liquid having a first defined pre-mixing ratio, a second pre-mixing unit (14), which is designed to mix a second liquid with a second carrier liquid, in particular water, to form a second pre-diluted liquid having a second defined pre-mixing ratio, and a final mixing unit (20), which is designed to mix the first pre-diluted liquid with the second pre-diluted liquid to form the final liquid to be discharged having a defined final mixing ratio.

  • Publication number: 20200260715
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and/or adjusting an active agent concentration in a spray liquid to be deployed via a spray device for agricultural purposes, an active agent and a carrier liquid being fed to a mixing unit of the spray device in order to blend the spray liquid. The method includes: receiving a first property signal including a piece of property information of the blended spray liquid detected using a first sensor unit, to ascertain an actual value of the property information of the spray liquid; receiving a second property signal including the piece of property information of the supplied carrier liquid detected using a second sensor unit of the spray device to ascertain a base value of the property information of the carrier liquid; and outputting an information signal to a display unit and/or a control signal to a delivery unit of the spray device.

  • Publication number: 20200253184
    Abstract: A spraying device for deploying liquids for agricultural purposes. The spraying device includes at least one spray nozzle for spraying the liquid and at least one mixing device, which includes at least one mixing chamber, at least one first inflow for a carrier liquid, at least two second inflows for different active agent liquids, and at least one outflow connected to the spray nozzle, connecting to the mixing chamber. It is provided that an actuatable valve is associated with each of the inflows. A device is also provided which actuates the valves during intended use in such a way that a constant volume flow results in the outflow regardless of the actuation of the valves/switching of the inflows.

  • Publication number: 20200253185
    Abstract: A spray device for deploying liquids, in particular for agricultural purposes. The spray device includes at least one spray nozzle for spraying the liquid and includes at least one mixing unit, which encompasses at least one mixing chamber. The mixing chamber includes at least one first inlet for a carrier liquid, at least one second inlet for an active agent liquid, and at least one outlet. The mixing unit encompasses at least one control member for setting a mixing ratio of carrier liquid and active agent liquid. The control member is rotatably mounted in the mixing chamber, a through-flow cross-section of at least the first inlet and/or the second inlet being set depending on the rotation position of the control member.

  • Publication number: 20200238322
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and/or modifying an active agent concentration in a spray liquid of a spray device including a plurality of spray nozzle units for deploying the spray liquid for agricultural purposes. The method includes receiving one property signal each including a piece of property information of the spray liquid detected with the aid of a sensor unit of the spray device in a through-flow area of one each of the spray nozzle units, an active agent concentration in the spray liquid being ascertainable using the piece of property information; and outputting an information signal to a display unit and/or a control signal to an intermixing unit and/or a delivery unit of the spray device as a function of the received piece of property information of the spray liquid and/or of an active agent concentration in the spray liquid ascertained using the piece of property information.

  • Publication number: 20190133029
    Abstract: A method for facilitating an active agent distribution in an agricultural cultivation area, including: measuring at least one chemical or physical property of discharged surface water at a plurality of measuring points in the agricultural cultivation area; transmitting measured data of the chemical or physical property to a control unit; allocating the measured data to a plurality of surface regions of the agricultural cultivation area; determining for the respective surface regions an active agent quantity to be applied as a function of the measured data ascertained for the respective surface regions and as a function of a stored rule; and supplying to an output unit an amount of the respective active agent quantity for the respective surface region.
