  • the weed control system can be easily transported from one location to another location. It can be transported independently of a rail transport vehicle, for example on the road (container truck), by ship or by plane. Since there are several independent modules that can be connected by hoses and electrical lines, the individual module has a comparably small dimension compared to conventional systems consisting of complete rail vehicles for weed control of track beds. For example each module can be implemented in the form of a standard 20-foot container. Corresponding carrier wagons can have fastening devices for such ISO containers as standard. There are practically no special devices required on the respective wagons at the different locations. A transport by rail with a comparatively low cruising speed is therefore not necessary. This proves to be particularly advantageous if the locations of the weed control system for a rail vehicle change frequently. Overall, a company that carries out weed control on track beds needs a smaller number of such weed control systems. This reduces the capital and maintenance effort required.
  • the modules of the weed control system can also be easily mounted on wagons with different track widths.
  • the weed control system is therefore independent of the respective base frame, as long as it is only suitable for holding the standardized modules.
  • the modular weed control system does not depend on a type of wagon. Rather, the modules can either be mounted on a common carrier or distributed over several smaller carriers. Only cables or hose connections from one wagon to the next are required. These can flexibly connect the modules with one another as required.

  • a camera module can be present which can generate a weed signal or a weed-specific signal in response to a detection of weeds / weeds and / or a specific weed species.
  • the identified weeds - or, if defined weed species are identified, individual weed species can also be targeted.
  • the camera can be configured in such a way that it recognizes a specific type of weed and the weed-specific signal can specifically influence the herbicide mixture which is sprayed by the herbicide and mixing module via the nozzle assembly in order to combat the recognized weed type. In this way, the appropriate herbicide is used only where it is necessary. This can save costs and pollute the environment with fewer herbicides.
  • control unit can also be set up to receive a weed signal and / or a weed-specific signal.
  • the generation of the first set of signals and the generation of the second set of signals can be controllable by the received signal.
  • valve-controlling control units can be set up to receive, interpret, convert the signal and corresponding control signals for valves and Create mixer.
  • the generation of the first set of signals and the generation of the second set of signals can be triggered manually. This means that the signals from the camera can be overwritten so that the system remains ready for weed control even if the camera system fails.
  • the weed control system can be operated completely without a camera system. The same applies to an interruption of the spraying of herbicides, if, for example, inhabited areas are passed through, people stay on the track bed or other devices that are potentially endangered by herbicides are affected.
  • the generation of the first set of signals and the generation of the second set of signals can be triggered by means of a weed map and a position of the nozzle assembly determined by a received GPS signal.
  • the weed map can be generated in advance by driving a train with a camera system.
  • the weed map can also be created using a camera-carrying drone. To do this, the drone could fly off the track. Collisions with other trains or bottlenecks in timetables on routes with more traffic can be avoided because a drone can easily dodge a train upwards without neglecting its weed card creation task.
  • the recordings of the camera system can also be synchronized with a GPS.
  • An offline evaluation can assign weeds recognized offline to individual GPS coordinates. During a spray run with the modular weed control system, the herbicides can then be sprayed according to the respective GPS position of the nozzle stick. This can also reduce environmental pollution and reduce costs, since herbicides are only sprayed where it is necessary.

  • Fig. 6 shows an example of a perspective view 600 of the several modules: the herbicide and mixing module 108, the energy module 400, the control and monitoring module 102 and the accommodation module 502. All modules can be seen on a carrier wagon 602 with two double-axis turnstiles 604 shown. The sequence of the individual modules shown has proven to be practical.
  • the stay module 502 is located furthest away from the herbicide and mixing module 108, so that even if the herbicide and mixing module 108 malfunctions (for example uncontrolled herbicide leakage), the personnel on board are protected solely by the distance ,
  • the energy module 400 is located between the herbicide and mixing module 108 and the control and monitoring module 102 and can supply both modules well with energy.
  • the platform of the energy module 400 can be easily reached both from the mixing module 108 and from which the control and monitoring module 102.
  • Fig. 7 shows an example of a perspective view of a train 700 consisting of a storage car 702, the carrier car 704 with the complete modular system for weed control and a tank car 706 with which water can be transported, which can be made available to the mixing module 108 via hoses.
  • Storage cart 702 can be used to store and transport various supplies for the train; in particular, various herbicides can be stored directly and in large quantities in this way. The supply of herbicides is thus not limited to the capacity of the containers in the mixing module 108.
  • a locomotive can be provided at the beginning or end of train 700. Orientation - ie the emergence of herbicides from the nozzle block - must be adjusted according to the direction of travel of the train. It is not necessary to rearrange the modules of the modular weed control system for a different direction of travel.
  • Fig. 8 represents the method 800 for controlling weeds in a track bed.
  • the method has the following: a reversible fixing 802 of a control and monitoring module to, for example, a carrier element, a reversible fixing 804 of a herbicide and mixing module (HMM) the carrier element and a reversible fixing 806 of a nozzle assembly to the carrier element.
  • HMM herbicide and mixing module
  • the nozzle assembly is spatially independent of the control and monitoring module as well as the herbicide and mixing module.
  • the method 800 further includes: establishing 808 a fluid connection between the herbicide and mixing module and the nozzle assembly, generating 810 a first set of control signals for controlling valves and mixers in the herbicide and mixing module to mix one Weed-specific herbicide mixture by means of a control unit of the control and control module and generation 812 of a second set of control signals for controlling valves of a nozzle assembly by means of the control unit of the control and control module and a selective spraying 814 of the weed-specific herbicide mixture Nozzles of the nozzle block on railways.
  • the herbicide and mixing module has at least the following: a plurality of containers for holding different herbicides, which can be selectively in a fluid connection with the valves and mixers, a water connection, which can be selectively in a selective manner with the valves and mixers There is a fluid connection, and connection elements via which electrical signal connections to connection elements of the control unit are established, so that the first control signals generated in the control and monitoring module can be passed to the valves and mixers of the herbicide and mixing module.
