Description

Device for the elimination of parasites in Fruit trees and the like.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to eliminate insects, larvae and all kinds of parasites that can attack both Fruit trees like any other variety.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that can be used both manually and automatic that allows said elimination of the said parasites existing both in the branches and trunk of the tree and in its roots, avoiding the need for the use of insecticides and others chemical products, thus eliminating them from the food chain.

Background of the invention

It is known since time immemorial the use of insecticides and other chemicals used in the crop of fruit trees and the like in order to eliminate different insects or parasites that could damage fruits, as well as own tree.

This solution is by far the most desirable, since such insecticides and chemicals are they stick to the fruits, moving to the food chain, being necessary to perform an intensive washing of the same as in many times it does not guarantee a total elimination of said products.

Trying to ignore this problem, the use of very small grid networks that are available covering the treetops in order to prevent birds and certain insects access the aforementioned fruits.

This solution is not satisfactory either that the size of the reticles discriminates the passage of insects from large size, but allows small insects to pass through some cases, and in any case not being effective at the time of Protect tree roots.

Description of the invention

The device for the elimination of parasites in fruit trees and the like that the invention proposes resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, constituting an effective and ecological solution at the time of eliminating these parasites.

To do this and more specifically, the device that is recommended is constituted from a series of power lines that are distributed over the different fruit trees or of the species in question, in order to make small electric shocks on the surface of the tree trunk or on its roots interchangeably.

The mentioned power lines are powered through a control circuit, powered in turn through any conventional energy source, be it the power grid, a generator, batteries or renewable energy, counting said control circuit with a microprocessor responsible for performing the cited periodic downloads scheduled through a timer, said microprocessor being associated with a regulator of voltage by which it sets the supply voltage of the aforementioned lines depending on the ambient temperature, the humidity as well as soil temperature, for which said circuit will have the corresponding temperature probes and humidity.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that the control circuit has controls for manual regulation of the supply voltage of the power lines as well as activation of it.

The structure described above may be complement with a series of displays associated with the different electronic components that allow to see the different parameters Working device such as room temperature, soil temperature, humidity and discharge voltage.

Finally, it should be noted that the lines of Tree unloading may be underground or aerial, in function of yes are intended to perform the download on the tree trunk or on its main roots, counting said trees with means of support of the aforementioned lines in case of Be these areas.

It is achieved in this way eliminate definitive the use of insecticides and other chemical products similar, thus eliminating them from the food chain.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, and in special figure 1, can be seen as the device for the elimination of parasites that the invention proposes is constituted from a control circuit (2) materialized in a housing (2), of suitable dimensions to contain within it a microprocessor (3), as well as a series of components electronics described below.

The aforementioned microprocessor (3) is associated with a series of external probes composed of a probe ambient temperature (4), a soil temperature probe (5), as well as a humidity / rainfall probe (6), which associated with their corresponding interfaces (4 '), (5') and (6 ') of communication with the microprocessor (3), allow the latter to establish, by means of a Internal programming software, a discharge voltage value electric tree variable depending on those parameters, in order not to be harmful to them.

These ambient temperature values, soil temperature and humidity / rainfall can be displayed at through two displays (7), (8) and (9) associated to the aforementioned microprocessor (3).

On the other hand, the control circuit (1) is electrically powered through a supply line electric (10), which may come from the distribution network general, of a generator set, a group of batteries, as well as of any renewable energy based system such as panels solar, mini-wind turbines and the like.

Said line (10) is connected to a variable voltage transformer / regulator (11) governed by the microprocessor (3).

So, and depending on the reading of the different probes (4), (5) and (6), the microprocessor establishes the adequate voltage at the transformer output (11), voltage that It can be checked by device users through a display (12) associated with the corresponding voltage meter (13), performing the electric shock at intervals regulated by a timer (14), to which the different lines are associated electrical (15-15 ') connection to the different trees (16).

These lines, as mentioned previously they can be aerial (15), so that they connect to the main tree trunk (16) or underground (17), connecting to Its root or main roots.

Finally, the fact that the control circuit (1) will have a button (18) for download activation manually, as well as a potentiometer (19) for manually regulating the voltage of feeding the lines (15-15 ') and a potentiometer (20) for manual time allocation between downloads.
