VEHICLE-MOUNTED GROUND MARKING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A ground marking system includes a position signal receiver configured to receive a position signal and generate current position information based on the position signal. A paint supply is configured to discharge paint onto ground beneath the paint supply. A first actuator is operatively connected to the paint supply for linearly moving the paint supply in both a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. A second actuator is operatively connected to the paint supply for controlling the discharge of paint from the paint supply. A memory device stores predetermined positional data. A processor is in communication with the position signal receiver and the memory device, and is configured to control linear movements of the first actuator based on the current position information received from the position signal receiver and the predetermined positional data stored in the memory device, and adjust a position of the paint supply.

1. A ground marking system, comprising:
a position signal receiver configured to receive a position signal and generate current position information based on the position signal; a paint supply configured to discharge paint onto ground beneath the paint supply; a movable frame including a paint supply holder for mounting the paint supply in the movable frame, and a skid mounted between the paint supply and the ground beneath the paint supply, the skid forming a paint aperture through which paint is discharged onto the ground beneath the skid; a first actuator operatively connected to the movable frame for moving the movable frame and paint supply in both of a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction; a second actuator operatively connected to the paint supply for controlling the discharge of paint from the paint supply; a memory device storing predetermined positional data; and a processor in communication with the position signal receiver and the memory device, wherein the processor is configured to control movements of the first actuator based on the current position information received from the position signal receiver and the predetermined positional data stored in the memory device and thereby adjust a position of the paint supply, wherein the ground marking system is mounted to a vehicle.
