Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for destroying unwanted vegetation in the area of roadways, in particular on track beds.
  • Undesired plant growth can e.g. can be destroyed on track beds using chemicals.
  • increasing environmental awareness has led to increased sensitization to chemical destructive agents, because even so-called “environmentally friendly” agents not only eliminate plant growth, but also severely disturb the biological balance of the soil and contaminate the groundwater.
  • a rail vehicle which is equipped with a carrier for a burner, which is connected to the vehicle by means of ropes and has a central section and laterally pivotable sections.
  • the carrier is designed as a downward-opening hood made of wood with thermal insulation and carries a plurality of steam outlet lines which extend transversely to the direction of travel.
  • the entire construction is extremely complex due to the large number of pipe connections and also requires complicated mechanisms for height adjustment of the burner with an equally complex flexible connection between the burner and a fluid supply on the vehicle.
  • the adjustment mechanisms for the central support section and the lateral support sections enable in particular no adaptation of the lateral sections to embankments and in the lateral direction and does not take into account that the fluid application is also influenced by the driving speed.
  • the invention aims to provide a device of undesirable vegetation in the area of driveways which, with an efficient destruction effect by using water vapor, offers an excellent environmental compatibility, i.e. neither contaminates the groundwater nor disturbs the biological balance of the soil, and which, compared to the known designs with a simple and inexpensive structural design, nevertheless guarantees an improved adaptability of the device to the respective circumstances and a more effective and economical treatment even of long driveways.
  • the invention relates to a device for destroying unwanted vegetation in the area of roadways, in particular on track beds, with a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, on which a steam generating unit is mounted, to the steam outlet of which steam nozzles are connected, which at least one is essentially transverse to the direction of travel form the travel path width nozzle bar, which is mounted below the frame of the vehicle by means of a height-adjustable support running in the direction of travel, which is designed as a hood open at the bottom with a floor, side walls in the direction of travel and end walls, with pivotable about an axis running in the direction of travel, in Lateral support parts extending in the direction of travel are provided, each of which is likewise designed as a hood and is mounted on the vehicle with its pivot axis both adjustable in height and adjustable transversely to the direction of travel and with nozzle bar sections are provided, which extend in the extension of the nozzle bar, which is adjustable on the hood floor in the direction of travel, preferably in the first front third of the beam extension
  • DE-A-36 39 705 describes a steam generating unit that can be moved on a platform truck for weed control is known, in which a reflector with a parabolic cross section is provided as the steam spray device, in the reflector center of which a spray tube is arranged.
  • the reflector is connected to the car via a hose line, provided with wheels or sliding curves and is moved over the floor to be treated in a manner not described in detail.
  • This document does not contain any information about the assembly and adjustment of the spray device on the car, in particular for the treatment of travel routes, as proposed by the invention.
  • the carrier is designed to be divided in the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle, each carrier part also being provided with a side wall in the region of the longitudinal center plane and being height-adjustable.
  • the side walls and end walls of the carrier or each carrier part are preferably each formed by a heat-insulating double jacket.
  • one row of nozzles is oriented vertically and the other row of nozzles is oriented obliquely to the direction of travel.
  • the steam generating unit is formed by a steam boiler with an outlet pressure regulator which is fed by a water tank via a pump, the pump being electrically fed by a Disel power unit and the steam boiler being heated by a gas burner fed by gas bottles.
  • the construction according to the invention has the advantage that the steam is emitted from the steam nozzles in an area of the longitudinal extent of the vehicle or of the carrier for the nozzle bar which is optimal for the steam distribution at a predetermined driving speed, the optimum steam distribution being achieved by precisely adjusting and adapting the nozzle bar and its Side parts can be easily regulated.
  • the hood which is only open towards the floor, ensures that the steam does not escape prematurely, but is effectively distributed over the entire hood extension.
  • the effect of steam inflation on the plants is reinforced by the special orientation of the two rows of nozzles.
  • the thermal insulation double jacket of the side walls and the end walls of the carrier ensures that an effective steam temperature is maintained within the hood.
  • a steam generating unit 2 is mounted on a rail vehicle 1 and feeds steam nozzles 4 ′, 4 ′′ via flexible lines.
  • the steam nozzles 4 ′, 4 ′′ are held in nozzle bars sections 5 ′ arranged transversely to the direction of travel in mutually extension, each of which have at least two rows of nozzles.
  • Nozzle bar sections 5 ' are each mounted on the underside of the frame of the rail vehicle 1 by means of a hydraulically, electrically or mechanically height-adjustable support part 6.
  • each nozzle bar section 5' is attached to the associated support part 6 by means of a cross-section running in Direction of travel, for example, in axis A, which is adjustable (not shown), pivotally mounted in the first front third of the beam extension (cf. FIG. 1).
  • each carrier part 6 has a bottom 6 ', side walls 6 "and end walls 6"' so that each carrier part 6 has the shape of a hood open to the ground.
  • the division of the carrier into two enables each of the two carrier parts 6 to be adjusted in height or to be subjected to steam, which is e.g. for the treatment of switch areas of the track proves to be particularly advantageous in economic terms.
  • the side walls 6 "and end walls 6" ' are designed for thermal insulation as double jackets with insulating material arranged between them. It is understood that the carrier and the nozzle bar can also be formed in one piece.
  • two lateral support parts 7 are also mounted on the chassis, which are analog the middle support parts 6 are formed and are pivotably mounted on an axis B running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • the axis B is mounted on the vehicle 1 by means of a further axis C with the interposition of actuating cylinders 8 both adjustable in height and adjustable transversely to the direction of travel.
  • the nozzle beam sections 5 "of the lateral support parts 7 are arranged in the extension of the nozzle beam sections 5 and fed via flexible steam lines 3 '.
  • the lateral support parts 7 are used to paint over the side parts of the ballast bed lying outside the rails.
  • the outer side walls of the side parts 7 can be longer than It goes without saying that the flexible steam lines 3, 3 'which run to the individual nozzle bar sections 5', 5 "of the carrier parts 6, 7 are provided with valves or regulating devices for the steam throughput, not shown, so that they can be switched or switched separately are adjustable.
  • the steam generating unit 2 is formed by a steam boiler 9, which is fed by a water tank 11 via a pump 10.
  • the pump 10 is electrically fed by a diesel generator 12 and the steam boiler 9 is heated by a gas burner 13 which is fed by gas bottles 14.
  • the speed of travel should be chosen so that the plants must be exposed to the steam for at least 2 s so that the plants are brought to a temperature of at least 70 ° in order to ensure the conversion of the vegetable protein.
  • the aim is to generate an air temperature of 95 to 100 ° C below the hoods.
  • the position of the nozzle bar 5 can be optimally adjusted in the direction of travel preferably within the first front third of the carrier 6 by means of an adjustment mechanism, not shown, for example on rails.
