More specifically, the control means are configured for remote activation via Wi-Fi, for example from a mobile phone, which facilitates its handling by the employees of the restaurant where it is located. Similarly, background music would be played and controlled from a Wi-Fi connected device.

It should be noted in relation to the above that the outdoor disinfection device can additionally include a physical button to turn the device on/off and/or to turn on UV rays and/or to turn on/off light to limit the space in the environment treated against the presence of COVID.

Preferably, the control means comprise display means, which further facilitates their handling, since the activated options and functionalities can be observed by the user.

According to another aspect of the invention, and in relation to its physical and mechanical configuration, the outdoor disinfection device comprises a disk-shaped casing with an internal housing for the external element. Optionally, said external element is an umbrella, and the disinfection device is housed around its pole. In this way, the disinfection action and others mentioned such as the dispersion of water, emission of sounds, etc., is carried out uniformly in all directions around the device.

More specifically, said casing is configured to open by means of a mechanical button that allows the parts of the device to be separated, allowing its installation in a more comfortable and simple way. Point out the closing mechanism of the same is by means of anchors.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fixing means comprise at least one force clamp adjustable by a regulator, said regulator being preferably located on the side of the device. This configuration is easy to attach and adjust to what could be an umbrella pole, since the clamps allow it to be adapted to different bases and be raised safely. Specify that it is the distance between the clamps, and therefore the pressure they make on the umbrella support, which is maneuverable thanks to the regulator located on the side of the device.

Alternatively, the fixing means comprise a support configured to be hung from the external element, allowing its placement in a hanging manner.

Another object of the present invention is an umbrella comprising a disinfection device for outdoors, as described above.

The attached drawings show, by way of non-limiting example, an outdoor disinfection device made according to the invention.
