Abstract
A system for controlling water distribution from a water distribution vehicle includes spray-heads for spraying water from the vehicle and an actuator system for turning the spray heads on and off. A computer processor is programmed to control the actuator system in response to a sensor input. The system can include means for measuring the ground speed of the vehicle, such as a GPS, and the sensor input, signal can be associated with the ground speed of the vehicle. Using a pulse width modulated signal, the processor can adjust water flow from the spray heads based on the vehicle ground speed. The processor also can be programmed to prevent water flow from one or more spray heads when the vehicle speed is below a minimum, speed or as the vehicle speed is reduced.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
received by the International Bureau on 17 April 2014 (17.04.2014)
WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. A system for controlling water distribution from a water distribution vehicle, the system comprising:
one or more spray heads for spraying water from the vehicle;
an actuator for turning t e one or more spray heads on and off;
a computer processor programmed for providing a signal for controlling the actuator; wherein the computer processor can automatically provide the signal for controlling the actuator in response to at least one sensor input signal.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the actuator includes a hydraulic actuator.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor also is programmed to provide the signal for controlling the actuator in response to a manual input from an operator.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one sensor input signal is associated with the ground speed of the vehicle.
5. The system of claim 2 wherein the signal for controlling the actuator pulse width modulated.
6. The system of claim 4 further comprising means for measuring the ground speed of the vehicle.
7. They system of claim 6 wherein the means for measuring the ground speed of the vehicle includes a GPS.
8. The system of claim 4 wherein the processor is programmed to prevent water flow from at least one of the spray heads when the vehicle speed is below a minimum speed.
9. The system of claim 4 wherein the processor is programmed to adjust the water flow from at least one of the spray heads based on the ground speed of the vehicle.
10. A system for control ling water distribution from a water distribution vehicle, the system comprising:
a water tank for storing water;
a plurality of spray heads for spraying water from the water tank;
a computer network comprising a processor programmed for controlling water flow from the spray heads in response to at least one sensor input signal.
1 1. The system of claim 10 wherein the sensor input signal is associated with the ground speed of the vehicle.
12. The system of claim 10 wherein the processor is programmed to control the water flow from the spray heads using pulse width modulation.
13. The system of claim 1 1 wherein the processor is programmed to stop the water flow from the spray heads when the vehicle ground speed is below a minimum speed,
14. The system of claim 1 1 wherein the processor is programmed to adjust the water flow from at least one of the spray heads based on the vehicle ground speed.
15. The system of claim 1 1 wherein the processor is programmed to prevent water flow from at least one of the spray heads as the vehicle speed is reduced.
16. T e system of claim 10 wherein the processor is programmed to automatically turn off the water pump if a water level in the water tank is below a minimum level.
17. The system of claim 10 wherein the computer network includes a d ta bus.
18. The system of claim 7 wherein the data bus comprises a LIN bus.
1.9. A system for controlling water distribution from a water distribution vehicle, the system comprising:
a water tank for storing water;
a plurality of spray heads for spraying water from the water tank;
a computer network comprising a processor programmed for controlling water flow from the spray heads in response to an input signal associated with the ground speed of the vehicle.
20. The system of claim 19 wherein the processor is programmed for controlling the water flow from the spray heads using pulse width modulation.
21. A system for controlling water distribution from a water distribution vehicle, the system comprising:
one or more spray heads for spraying water from the vehicle;
an actuator for turning the one or more spray heads on and off; and
a computer processor programmed for providing a control signal for controlling the actuator;
wherein the control signal can be a pulse width modulated signal having a duty cycle and a period; and
wherein the computer processor is programmed to automatically vary the duty cycle and the period of the pulse width modulated signal in response to the vehicle speed.
22. The system of claim 21 wherein, when the computer is programmed to automatically provide the control signal as a the pulse width modulated signal when the vehicle speed is in a range between a first threshold speed and a second higher threshold speed.
23. The system of claim 22 wherein the computer is programmed to automatically close off one or more of the spray heads when the vehicle speed is below the first threshold speed.
24. The system of claim 21 wherein the computer is programmed to automatically increase the duty cycle as the vehicle speed increases.
