AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is agricultural equipment for delivering fluid to a field. The agricultural equipment includes a system having a plurality of flow indicator sensors for providing an output indicative of whether or not fluid is flowing through the sensors above or below a prescribed rate and an indicator panel for providing at least one of a visual or an audio indication to an operator indicative of whether or not fluid is flowing through the flow indicator sensors above or below the prescribed rate. The indicator panel may be provided in a location to allow an operator to determine when an interruption occurs, for example by viewing a visual indication on the indicator panel, without the operator having to look away from a direction of motion. In this way, the operator can safely and efficiently determine if there is an interruption and then take the necessary steps to clear the interruption.

主权项

1. A system for delivering fluid to a field using an agricultural implement, the system including:
a plurality of laterally spaced applicators; a manifold connectable to a source of fluid to be delivered to the field; a plurality of lines, each line connecting the manifold to a respective one of the plurality of applicators; a plurality of flow indicator sensors, each flow indicator sensor being connectable between the manifold and a respective one of the plurality of lines and configured to provide an output indicative of whether or not fluid is flowing through the sensor at a prescribed rate; and an indicator panel for receiving the output from the plurality of flow indicator sensors and for providing at least one of a visual or an audio indication to an operator based on the outputs.
