Question

"Design and Fabrication of an Agricultural Spraying Attachment for
an Autonomous Rover"
we need help in the machine design part of our study, specifically Pump selection, battery
selection, and center of gravity computation.

 

Rover weight capacity 35 kilo grams (payload)
Rover measurements:
Wheel distance - 14.5 inches and 8.5 inches
Rover platform size (width & length) 14.4 inches x 10.4 inches
Height- 15.8 inches.

Water tank selection More or less 25 liters *For tank selection we need to justify the size with the center of gravity, proving that is the maximum dimension or liters of the tank because the center of gravity will be higher making the rover prone to toppling Pump selection *Our sprayer design has two nozzles which splits using a tee splitter, we need to find the size of the pump to obtain the same discharge rate of a normal sprayer. A normal sprayer has a 12V pump and a pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa (30-65 psi) The application rate of the main pesticide is 9.6- 19.2 fl oz/A (Brigade Insecticide for sweet potato) www. Thai was the initial deign where the water tank is above the battery and pump, but we changed our mind, now it is the battery and pump above the water Battery selection once the size of the pump has been selected what battery should be used for that pump. * Commonly a knapsack sprayer has a 16 liters tank, 12v pump, pressure from 0.2 to 0.45 mpa (30-65 psi)
