A flexible, self-adjusting flow nozzle is provided, optimally configured for agricultural uses. The nozzle flexes automatically in response to changes in fluid pressure, thereby maintaining an optimal droplet size and spray area for a variety of flow rates. The self-adjusting characteristic of the nozzle allows for the creation of a fully or semi-automatic spray system. The fully automatic system uses a GPS receiver to compare actual geographic data against a predetermined flow plan for automatically making adjustments to flow rate in order to accommodate both speed changes and varying crop needs. The semi- automatic system uses a manually controlled flow rate but utilizes the self- adjusting capabilities of the spray nozzle.

L'invention concerne une buse d'écoulement flexible, auto-ajustable, notamment destinée à des utilisations agricoles. Ladite buse se fléchit automatiquement en réponse à des variations de pression du fluide, maintenant ainsi une taille de gouttelettes et une zone de pulvérisation optimales pour divers débits. Les caractéristiques d'auto-ajustage de la buse permettent de créer un système de pulvérisation tout automatique ou semi-automatique. Ledit système tout automatique fait intervenir un récepteur GPS afin de comparer des données géographiques réelles par rapport à un plan d'écoulement prédéterminé de manière à effectuer automatiquement des réglages de débit visant à intégrer des variations d'écoulement et des variations des besoins de culture. Ledit système semi-automatique fait intervenir un contrôle manuel du débit mais recourt aux caractéristiques d'auto-ajustage de la buse de pulvérisation.
