SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPRAY PATTERN OF AN AGRICULTURAL WORKING MACHINE

摘要

System for detecting the spatial distribution of the spray fan of a liquid and / or liquefied crop protection and / or fertilizer, which is diluted by means of a carrier liquid and which is distributed by a farm machine via a mounted on the working machine distribution linkage, wherein the liquid and / or liquefied crop protection - And / or fertilizer agent during the distribution process pressurized by at least one attached to the manifold linkage spray nozzle is applied droplet formation in the form of a Sprühfächers on the ground and / or on the growing plants on the ground, by means of at least one suitable sensor. In order to provide a system and a method which ensures a reliable detection of the spatial distribution of the spray fan of an agricultural machine even under changing environmental conditions, it is provided that this at least one sensor seen in the direction of travel at least approximately at the height of the manifold linkage to and adjacent to the outer spray nozzle is positioned offset to this by means of a carrying device.
