[0001] DESCRIPCIÓN[0001] DESCRIPTION
[0003] DISPOSITIVO PARA DISTRIBUIR POLEN ACOPLABLE A UN DRON[0003] DEVICE FOR DISTRIBUTING POLLEN ATTACHABLE TO A DRONE
[0005] OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN[0005] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0007] La presente invención pertenece al campo de la polinización de plantas y se refiere a un dispositivo polinizador acoplable a un dron, que permite una distribución uniforme del polen en un área amplia asegurando una polinización artificial eficaz.[0007] The present invention belongs to the field of plant pollination and relates to a pollinating device attachable to a drone, which allows uniform distribution of pollen over a wide area ensuring effective artificial pollination.
[0009] ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN[0009] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0011] La polinización es fundamental para la producción de muchos cultivos, y los sistemas de polinización basados en insectos y viento se ven cada vez más perturbados por fenómenos climáticos y el uso de productos químicos como pesticidas. La desaparición de abejas y otros insectos polinizadores es una amenaza para el medio ambiente y la humanidad. Para combatir esta situación se utilizan varios sistemas de polinización artificial.[0011] Pollination is essential for the production of many crops, and insect- and wind-based pollination systems are increasingly disrupted by climate phenomena and the use of chemicals such as pesticides. The disappearance of bees and other pollinating insects is a threat to the environment and humanity. To combat this situation, various artificial pollination systems are used.
[0013] Algunos de los métodos de polinización artificial incluyen la polinización manual, que se realiza con un pincel o un palo y requiere mucha mano de obra. Otro es el uso de dispositivos portátiles, como sopladores, rociadores y varillas vibratorias. Estos dispositivos son más rápidos y fáciles de usar para distribuir polen que las simples herramientas manuales. Dentro de estos dispositivos portátiles, el polinizador electrostático portátil es una alternativa eficaz tanto para recolectar como para aplicar polen. Sin embargo, se requiere más investigación para superar los desafíos técnicos como la mala orientación.[0013] Some methods of artificial pollination include hand pollination, which is done with a brush or stick and is labor-intensive. Another is the use of portable devices, such as blowers, sprayers, and vibrating wands. These devices are faster and easier to use for distributing pollen than simple hand tools. Among these portable devices, the handheld electrostatic pollinator is an effective alternative for both collecting and applying pollen. However, further research is needed to overcome technical challenges such as poor orientation.
[0015] Los dispositivos montados en vehículos son otra alternativa en el campo de la polinización artificial. Se han desarrollado pulverizadores, sopladores y similares para montarlos en un vehículo como un tractor para la polinización a gran escala. Estos dispositivos requieren menos mano de obra que los anteriores. Sin embargo, en estos casos se trata de costosas operaciones, en algunos casos, son lentas pues distribuyen el polen desde bajas alturas, lo que resulta de menor efectividad y genera mayor consumo de polen y en las que resulta complejo ajustar la dosis necesaria de polen, originando un incremento de los gastos de cultivo.[0015] Vehicle-mounted devices are another alternative in the field of artificial pollination. Sprayers, blowers, and similar equipment have been developed for mounting on vehicles such as tractors for large-scale pollination. These devices require less labor than the previous methods. However, these operations are costly and, in some cases, slow because they distribute pollen from low heights, resulting in lower effectiveness and higher pollen consumption. Furthermore, adjusting the necessary pollen dose is complex, leading to increased cultivation costs.
[0016] Por lo tanto, es necesario proporcionar un dispositivo que resuelva los problemas de la técnica anterior asegurando un polinizador artificial capaz de aumentar la comodidad del operador y rociar polen uniformemente.[0016] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device that solves the problems of the prior art by ensuring an artificial pollinator capable of increasing operator comfort and spraying pollen evenly.
[0018] DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN[0018] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0020] La presente invención propone un dispositivo de distribución de polen que se puede montar en un dron y rociar polen uniformemente en una amplia gama para que se pueda lograr de manera efectiva la polinización artificial.[0020] The present invention proposes a pollen distribution device that can be mounted on a drone and spray pollen evenly over a wide range so that artificial pollination can be effectively achieved.
[0022] El dispositivo de la invención comprende una tolva que almacena una cantidad de polen, dotado de un agitador que asegura la homogeneidad del polen, al menos un orificio de salida, situado en el fondo de la tolva, una palanca dosificadora situada debajo del orificio de salida, dotada de un mecanismo de desplazamiento que regula el grado de apertura del orificio de salida y por tanto la cantidad del polen que sale por el mismo, un tubo Venturi dotado de un estrechamiento central en correspondencia con el orificio de salida, un soplador conectado a un extremo del tubo Venturi, dotado de un motor, que proporciona una presión a lo largo del tubo Venturi para facilitar la salida del polen, al menos una tobera orientable conectada al otro extremo del tubo Venturi que permite la dispersión del polen.[0022] The device of the invention comprises a hopper that stores a quantity of pollen, equipped with an agitator that ensures the homogeneity of the pollen, at least one outlet orifice, located at the bottom of the hopper, a dosing lever located below the outlet orifice, equipped with a displacement mechanism that regulates the degree of opening of the outlet orifice and therefore the quantity of pollen that comes out through it, a Venturi tube provided with a central narrowing corresponding to the outlet orifice, a blower connected to one end of the Venturi tube, equipped with a motor, which provides pressure along the Venturi tube to facilitate the exit of the pollen, at least one orientable nozzle connected to the other end of the Venturi tube that allows the dispersion of the pollen.
[0024] El dispositivo también comprende una estructura portante vinculada a la tolva que está dotada de una pluralidad de acoples destinados a acoplarse a un dron, una unidad de control conectada con el mecanismo de desplazamiento de la palanca dosificadora que regula la salida del polen y conectada con el motor del soplador, una fuente de alimentación o un elemento de conexión destinado a conectar el dispositivo a una fuente de alimentación del dron. El dispositivo comprende adicionalmente un soporte asociado a la estructura portante que está destinado a soportar el motor que acciona el soplador.[0024] The device also comprises a support structure linked to the hopper, which is provided with a plurality of couplings for attaching to a drone, a control unit connected to the metering lever's displacement mechanism that regulates the pollen output and connected to the blower motor, and a power supply or connecting element for connecting the device to a drone power supply. The device further comprises a support associated with the support structure for supporting the blower motor.
[0026] La tolva sirve de almacenamiento del polen a distribuir, preferiblemente tiene una forma troncocónica o similar y en su interior dispone un agitador que evita el apelmazamiento del polen para garantizar una salida continua del mismo. Los orificios de salida se pueden encontrar en diferentes formas geométricas para asegurar una distribución eficaz del polen.[0026] The hopper serves as a storage container for the pollen to be distributed. It preferably has a truncated cone shape or similar and contains an agitator that prevents the pollen from clumping, ensuring a continuous flow. The outlet holes can be of different geometric shapes to ensure efficient pollen distribution.
[0027] La unidad de control es el componente del dispositivo de la invención que regula la salida del polen actuando sobre la palanca dosificadora y activa o desactiva el funcionamiento del dispositivo. Se puede actuar sobre el mismo mediante radiocontrol o de forma automatizada sincronizando la información GPS con la localización de las líneas de cultivo o árboles individuales.[0027] The control unit is the component of the device of the invention that regulates the pollen output by acting on the metering lever and activates or deactivates the device's operation. It can be operated by radio control or automatically by synchronizing GPS information with the location of the crop rows or individual trees.
[0029] La instalación del dispositivo de la presente invención se realiza mediante una unidad de acoplamiento que comprende una estructura portante vinculada a la tolva que está dotada de una pluralidad de acoples, una pluralidad de barras inferiores del dron, formado por unas varillas y unos elementos de fijación por ejemplo unas abrazaderas diseñadas a propósito.[0029] The installation of the device of the present invention is carried out by means of a coupling unit comprising a supporting structure linked to the hopper which is provided with a plurality of couplings, a plurality of lower drone bars, formed by rods and fixing elements for example clamps designed for the purpose.
[0031] El dispositivo, gracias a estar montado en un dron, puede acercarse a su objetivo, un campo de cultivo o árboles en un bosque desde el aire, como las abejas y por lo tanto tiene menos barrera de entrada a un campo o un bosque que otras formas de tecnologías de polinización artificial.[0031] The device, thanks to being mounted on a drone, can approach its target, a field of crops or trees in a forest from the air, like bees, and therefore has less barrier to entry into a field or forest than other forms of artificial pollination technologies.
[0033] El dispositivo de la invención elimina ventajosamente la necesidad de equipos a gran escala que requieren alta precisión, contribuyendo así a una reducción del coste inicial.[0033] The device of the invention advantageously eliminates the need for large-scale equipment requiring high precision, thus contributing to a reduction in the initial cost.
[0035] Además, se puede instalar en el dispositivo una unidad de suministro de energía para proporcionar energía al dispositivo, por ejemplo, una batería, o el dispositivo se puede conectar a la batería del dron y usar esa batería como fuente de energía.[0035] In addition, a power supply unit can be installed on the device to provide power to the device, for example, a battery, or the device can be connected to the drone's battery and use that battery as a power source.
[0037] Se puede utilizar cualquier dron disponible comercialmente para acoplar el dispositivo de la presente invención.[0037] Any commercially available drone can be used to attach the device of the present invention.
[0039] El dispositivo de la invención se utiliza para realizar polinización artificial en plantaciones frutales, eventualmente de especies herbáceas y forestales, para favorecer el cuajado de frutos y el incremento de la producción. Particularmente, el dispositivo se utiliza en plantaciones super intensivas, por ejemplo, de olivo, donde se concentran grandes extensiones de cultivo con una alta homogeneidad varietal, y en especies dióicas, como por ejemplo el pistachero, donde se pueden eliminar o reducir la superficie asignada a los pies androicos.[0039] The device of the invention is used to perform artificial pollination in fruit orchards, and potentially herbaceous and forest species, to promote fruit set and increase production. In particular, the device is used in super-intensive plantations, for example, olive groves, where large areas of cultivation with high varietal homogeneity are concentrated, and in dioecious species, such as pistachio trees, where the area allocated to male and female trees can be eliminated or reduced.
