ROBOTIC COMPLEX FOR STRIP SPRAYING OF VEGETABLE CROPS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A01M7/00 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: robotic complex contains a frame (1) on which are mounted a motor, a driving liquid pump, a container for a working solution, a control unit (7), a video camera (10) with technical vision that determines the projection of the contour of the treated plants in the vertical-transverse plane, and a horizontal guide (5) with two movable carriages (6) installed on it, connected to the control unit (7) and driven by a stepper motor. On each movable carriage (6) there is a housing with a sprayer (9), movably connected to the outlet fitting of the pump, pumping the working solution from the container. The axes of the nozzles are located in the same vertical plane and directed towards each other. The housing with the sprayer (9) on the carriage (6) is mounted movably along a vertical guide (8) and is driven by a stepper motor that takes a signal from the control unit (7), which determines the location of the sprayer in relation to the height, ensuring complete coverage of the contour of the treated plant at the lowest height sprayer from the soil surface.

EFFECT: improved quality of plant spraying treatment and reduced negative impact on the environment.
