- Aug. 27, 1963 c. .1. cHAMBERLAHQ ETAL SPRAYING APPARATUS Filed .my 3o, 1962 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 msi TM@ United States Patent 3,101,902 SPRAYlNG APPARATUS Cyril John Chamberlain, Godstone, and John Thomas Anning, Horsham, England, assignors to Chipman Chemical Company, Limited, Horsham, England, a British company Filed July 30, 1962, Ser. No. 213,336 2 Claims. (Cl. 239-173) rIlhis invention relates to spraying apparatus and is concerned with a railway train suitable for spraying railway tracks with chemical weedkiller. The invention is also concerned with a mixing device suitable for use in said railway train. H
A known method of applying a solution or suspension of chemical weedkiller to a railway track is to spray the solution or suspension evenly across 'the track or to apply a differential dosage rate of the Weedkiller on the cess or other portions of the track on which weed intestation is more prolic. Hitherto, the method used for differential spraying has been to apply an increased quantity of the weedkiller solution or suspension to the required area, the solution or suspension either having been bulk mixed or formed by adding a slurry to a water stream. In either case these systems involve the wasteful use of heavy quantities ot spray solution or water. This is a considerable disadvantage, since with the advent of the electriication and dieselization of the railways, large supplies of water are more diicult to obtain.
` According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a railway train adapted `for spraying railway tracks with chemical weedkiller comprising at least one spraying member having a plurality of outlet `elements arranged in groups each adapted to spray weedkiller over respective portions ot the track, each group of outlet elements of the spraying member being connectable through a regulatable pumping unit to a tank capable of containing a solution or slurry of chemical weedkilller, there being a separate pumping unit and tank for each group of outlet elements, and regula-table pumping means tor supplying water carried by the train to each group of outlet elements, the arrangement being such that chemical weedkiller drawn from each of said tanks by each of said pumping units is fed respectively into the water supply to each group of outlet elements on the pressure side of said pumping means, whereby the quantity and/ or kind of weed-killer sprayed from each group of outlet elements can be varied. Y
Each -group of outlet elements may consist of one or more outlet elements. Advantageously, the or each spraying member has three groups of outlet'elements, one group arranged to spray weedkil-ler over the width of the track and the remaining groups each being arranged to spray weedkiller respectively over one oi the strips on either side of -the track.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a mixing device suitable -for use in the railway train hereinbefore described, said device comprising a mixing vessel having substantially opposed inlet and outlet openings whereby a tirst liquid can be caused to flow through the mixing vessel, and entering said vessel an inlet line through which a second liquid can be caused to flow, the inlet line having an outlet end positioned within the mixing vessel in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of flow of the rst liquid through the mixing vessel.
By employing the railway train of the invention, it is possible 'to apply differential dosage rates of weedkiller to different portions of the track, without increasing the volnme of water or spray solution or suspension used, but merely by regulating the amount of weedkiller fed to ice each group of outlet elements of the spraying member. Furthenmore, it is possible by employing two or more groups of outlet elements simultaneously to apply to different portions of the track two or more dierent chemical weedkillers, or two or more mixtures of chemical weedkillers, at the same or different dosage rates. By employing the mixing device hereinbefore described in the railway train ot the invention it is possible successfully to inject a solution or slurry of weedkiller into a ilow of water on the pressure side of a pump feeding the water to the mixing device.
Preferably each of the regulatable pumping units is adapted to be driven from an axle of a train vehicle carrying said unit, so that each pump unit can be regulated to meter la predetermined amount ot the lweedkiller slurry or solution proportional to the speed of the train, whilst the regulatable pumping means tor supplying water to each group of outlet elements is preferably an engine driven pump so that a substantially even output from lthe outlet elements may be maintained over the speed range of the train. Advantageously the engine driven pump is provided with a long stroke relief valve, whereby the pressur-e of the water ilow can be kept substantially constant as the amount of weedkiller fed to the spraying member is increased by increased train speed. Thus the water ilow to the spraying member will be varied so that at terminal speed neat weedkiller may, if desired, be sprayed tfrom the spraying member.
To reduce was-tage of water when the train is travelling at slow speeds, more than one spr-aying member, e.g. two spraying members, may be used so that at low speeds water and weedkiller will be supplied to only one of the spraying members but at increased speeds the further spraying members will be brought into use so that the necessary heavier dosage of weedkiller may be applied.
For a better understanding of the invention and to show how the same may be carried into eiect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE l is a diagrammatic plan view of a machine van forming part of a railway train adapted for spraying railway tracks with chemical weedkiller; and
FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal section on an enlarged scale through a mixing device used in the machine van `shown in FIGURE l. i
Referring to FIGURE 1 of the accompanying drawings, a machine van 1 is provided with a spraying boom having Ithree groups 2 of outlet nozzles, each group 2 of nozzles Ibeing positioned so that weedkiller can be sprayed on to the central portion of the track as well as on each side ot the track. Each of the three groups 2 of spray nozzles is connectable via a mixing device 3 to a separate regulatalble pumping unit 5 of a triple axle-driven pumping unit, each unit 5 of which can draw lfrom any one of three storage tanks 6 a slurry or solution of weedkiller contained therein. When a solution of weedkiller is to be sprayed, this can be ted into the tanks 6 by a pump 7 which is connectable .to one or more separate tank wagons containing the weedkiller solution. When `a slurry of weedkiller is to be sprayed, water or weedkiller (depending on whether the slurry is to contain one or a mixture of weedkillers) is drawn hy the pump 7 into a mixing tank 8 where powdered weedkiller can he added to make a slurry of the desired consistency. The slurry is then fed into the tanks 6 which can be mechanically agitated, as can the mixing tank 8. The triple pumping unit is driven trom the machine van axle and will thus meter a predetermined amount of weedkiller solution Kor slurry which will lbe proportional to the speed of the train. The lspraying boom is connected via non-return valves 4 by an inlet line 9 provided with an engine driven water feed pump y to a supply of water carried by the train in separate tank wagons. The separate engine driven pump 10 enables a substantially even output and spray pattern through the outlet nozzles to be Iobtained at dilerent speeds of the train. rThe water Afeed pump 10 is provided with a long stroke relief valve 11 which enables the pressure of the water ow to be maintained substantially constant by releasing the excess Water displ-aced by the weedkiller as the amount of weedkiller fed to the spraying boom by the triple pumping runit is increased by an increase in the speed of the train. The relief valve 11 serves to unload the excess vvater to the suction side of the Water feed pump 10, so that `at the terminal speed of the train neat weedkiller may, if desired, be applied to the spraying boom.
The mixing device 3 (shown more clearly in FIGURE 2 of the accompanying drawings) comprises a vessel in the form of `a reducing T-pipe fitting 21, the arms of the fitting 21 having substantially opposed inlet :and outlet ports 22 and 23 by means of which water can iiow into and out of the mixing device. The stem of the fitting 21 has a port 24 through which passes an inlet pipe 25, the end portion 26 of which is bent into an arcuate shape, so that the outlet end 27 of the pipe 25 is adjacent the center of the inlet port Z2 of the tting 21.
When in use, water is caused to flow through the arms of the T-itting. The solution or slurry of Iweedkiller to be sprayed from the spraying boom of the train is caused to enter the mixing device through the inlet pipe 25. The bend in the pipe causes the solution or slurry of weedkiller to enter the mixing device against the line of flow of the water through the device. The action of the weedkiller solution or slurry meeting the oncoming flow of water causes the weedkiller to disperse radially and the mixing of the water and weedkiller is continued by the vortices and turbulence about the inlet pipe 25. rlihe resulting mixture of weedkiller and water then leaves the mixing device by passing through the outlet port 23 and is then conveyed by means of a suitable pipeline to the spraying boom of the train.
Each group of outlet nozzles covering the outer portions of the track can be designed to apply an even dosage across the full swath or, if a differential application of weedkiller over a small portion of the track is required, one of the nozzles can be designed to provide an obtuse triangle of spray so as to -give a superimposed spr-ay pattern resulting in the application of a heavier dosage over a small portion of the track.
In operation the railway train can be used to apply differential dosage rates of weedkiller to `one or more desired portions of the track by suitable adjustment of one or more of the pumping units which feed weedkiller to the group of outlet nozzles covering the desired portion of the track. lFurthermore, one or more of the pumping -units may be used to tfeed a different weedkil-ler to the respective group of nozzles on the spraying boom so that, if desired, up to three different chemical Weedkillers, or three different mixtures of weedkillers, can be applied to the track at the same time.
What is claimed is:
1. A railway vehicle adapted for spraying railway tracks with chemical weedkiller, said vehicle essentially comprising in combination:
(a) three groups of outlet elements, `one `group being arranged to spray chemical weedkiller over the width of the track and the other two 4groups each being arranged to spray chemical weedkiller respectively over the strip on one side of the track;
