1. A method for monitoring a nozzle mouthpiece with regard to deposits on a nozzle, the nozzle comprising:
a nozzle body which has a nozzle mouthpiece,
wherein the nozzle body comprises an inner pipe and an outer pipe, said inner pipe being connected to a feed for spraying a substance and comprising an inner wall and a first exit opening, said outer pipe being distanced to the inner pipe, said outer pipe being connected to a feed for a gas and comprising a second exit opening,
wherein the first exit opening of the inner pipe and the second exit opening of the outer pipe are arranged in an exit region of the nozzle mouthpiece,
wherein an inlay is arranged on the inner pipe or on the outer pipe, wherein the inlay is arranged such that it can be brought or is brought into oscillation by way of the substance being sprayed which exits out of the first exit opening of the inner pipe and/or by way of the gas which flows out of the second exit opening of the outer pipe, said oscillation minimizing or preventing the deposits in the exit region of the nozzle mouthpiece,
wherein the method comprises:
causing the inlay to oscillate by spraying the substance out of the first exit opening of the inner pipe and/or flowing the gas out of the second exit opening of the outer pipe;
detecting the deposits at the exit region using a sensor connected to a control unit;
transmitting signals from the sensor to the control unit regarding the deposits in the exit region of the nozzle mouthpiece;
transmitting, by the control unit, a corresponding signal to a device configured to remove the deposits; and
activating the device to remove the deposits from the exit region of the nozzle mouthpiece.
