DEVICE FOR A REMOTELY TRIPULATED AIR VEHICLE
D E S C R I P C I O N
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to provide a device for coupling to a remotely manned aerial vehicle so that the resulting assembly allows the treatment of pests. The invention is intended to fight biologically against these organisms, which may become established in colonies and / or nest in arboreal, shrub or herbaceous species.
The device of the invention is composed of different elements, among which is a carrier arm of dosing means, a phytosanitary storage tank, the conduits that take it to the dosing medium for its release in the area affected by the pest by the drive of an engine, a viewing camera and an audiovisual transmission system.
Advantageously, the device of the invention is associated with a remotely manned aerial vehicle allowing the group to access the most inaccessible areas and perform the release of the phytosanitary with high efficiency and excellent efficiency.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Pests may become established in colonies and / or nest in arboreal, shrub or herbaceous species. In fact, these species can move from one host to another in a way that infects an area or even the entire forest mass.
Pest cycles are variable, starting at certain periods of the anus and going through various biological stages along a certain time line.

These stages can happen from the laying of eggs by the adult females, to the birth of the larvae, feeding through the host, construction of nests, crystallization, metamorphosis, etc. The cycles are then the ideal method then to know the right moment in which to attack the invasive species and proceed to its eradication.
Pests can also greatly affect other species, not just the trees or shrubs it is occupying. Victims can be both domestic animals and people. In some cases, severe hives or allergies can occur due to contact with these organisms. Although the contact is not if an essential factor to suffer harmful effects that these beings can produce, and some of their body structures, such as hairs, could be detached on the surfaces that surround the place where they are or in the environment itself , also retaining its harmful properties.
Numerous are the methods that are known for the treatment and control of pests. From those that go through fumigations or sprays carried out through the use of manned aerial means from the cabin, mainly for large forest or agricultural masses and which do not offer great guarantees of success, since the applied phytosanitary product does not usually pass from the surface of the treated species; to those who are limited to the destruction of the areas where the colony of attackers can be found. You can also find other systems based on traps of different Indole and with baits of different types that seek to attract the invading species in a single way in each tree, shrub or plant.
The Spanish patent with publication number ES2131033 shows us a procedure to eradicate pests selectively, when they are in the nesting phase in trees. Using for this a carbine and some projectiles which have their tip impregnated with a phytosanitary substance. These projectiles when they come into contact with the inside of the nest, release their phytosanitary substance. This system has several drawbacks, such as the fact that it is only usable at the time of nesting and not being effective seems to be in the first larval stages. In addition, the ball is conventional lead and once fired causes the serious problem of being dispersed by the environment, being then highly polluting. Finally,

requires the tip of the applicator staff and can only access the nests that are in their visual area, which will not reach the highest areas of the affected mass.
The Spanish patent with publication number WO2008065218 solves the previous problem in regard to the contamination of the lead used and to indicate that it will have a launcher to fine tune the pointer and reach higher branches; but still has the disadvantage of not having access to the highest or hidden areas. In addition to the fact that spreading the substance over a wider area than the object to be treated, may be harmful to other species, since there is no phytosanitary product or pesticide exclusive for a given species and although some are resistant, others may end up being affected.
The Spanish patent with publication number ES2303802 focuses on the treatment of pine caterpillars, accessing the pockets through a sharp system that is controlled by a beam that allows it to be lifted and which at its other end has a deposit that the Operator carries back or hand through handles. The clear inconvenience presented remains the difficulty of access to the upper areas.
For all the above, to date, no device is known in the state of the art for coupling to a remotely manned aerial vehicle capable of releasing a phytosanitary in a controlled and accurate way in areas of difficult access.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The proposed invention fully solves the problem outlined in the state of the art, by presenting a device that is coupled to a remotely manned aerial vehicle and that enables the dosing of fully directional phytosanitary against the colony or attacking element that is intended to be treated. In this way, no sprays or spraying of phytosanitary product are carried out in bulk, so the integrity of other species that are not eradicated is preserved, making the action much more effective.

Thus, the present invention relates to a device for the treatment of pests, whatever their origin or species. Designed to fight biologically against these organisms and which can become established in colonies and / or nest in arboreal, shrub or herbaceous species. In this way, by means of the device in question, the ideal moment for its application will be, in most cases, during the nesting phase of the invasive species.
The device of the invention is formed by the following elements:
- At least one dosing medium for the dosage of a phytosanitary.
- At least, a carrier arm where the dosing medium is located and acting as a carrier lance of said dosing medium.
- At least one deposit where the phytosanitary is stored.
- Ducts that conduct the phytosanitary from the tank where it is stored to the dosing medium.
- Means of impulsion or motor for impulsion of the phytosanitary, that is to say to drive it from the deposit to the dosing means through the ducts mentioned above.
- Electronic system for remote motor drive.
- Camera or visualization system.
- Audiovisual transmission system to send the signal to a station that controls the dosage remotely.
Additionally, the device is provided with a coupling zone for joining the device of the invention to a remotely manned aerial vehicle. Thus, this coupling area allows mounting on a remotely manned aerial vehicle or drone.
Advantageously, the area flying over the drone can be visualized through the images taken by the camera. When the drone flies over an area affected by a pest, it is easily identified by the images collected by the camera and sent to a remote station controlled by an operator.
Based on these elements, the operator that remotely controls the dosage of the

Phytosanitary can ensure the effectiveness of the phytosanitary release. Thus, when the operator considers that the drone associated with the device of the invention is close to an area to be treated, it remotely activates the engine that drives the phytosanitary and proceeds to its release.
The phytosanitary ware stored in the tank will be driven through a set of conduits, rigid or flexible, using an electronic system for its remote operation from a radiofrequency equipment contracted by an operator.
Also, the arm is also controlled by said remote control system.
Additionally, the carrier arm can be foldable, specifically telescopic, in order to enable its extension or partial or total folding. In this way, the device of the invention allows to get closer to the area to be treated, sharpening the point of phytosanitary release.
Additionally, the coupling area includes tilting means to provide rotation and inclination to the arm, whereby movement in all directions is provided.
On the other hand, and additionally, the device of the invention can include a light pointer located next to the visualization system. In this way, lighting and / or signaling of the area where the phytosanitary is dosed is made possible, allowing greater visualization and success with full accuracy on the area to be treated. This element will also be remotely controllable by the aforementioned remote control system.
Additionally, the device includes a second tank containing water or cleaning product and which is connected to dosing ducts that are connected to the ducts that conduct the phytosanitary. Thus, an alternative circuit is established that allows the cleaning of the ducts where the phytosanitary has circulated from an easy commutation of the established circuit.
In this way, the device can be kept in perfect condition after its use, minimizing risks for personnel, since the phytosanitary substance will be limited to

be present in its corresponding deposit, sealed and with safety lock.
Thus, the conduits through which the phytosanitary circulates in the device are sealed.
Finally, it should be noted that the dosing medium included in the device may be the injection by a classic needle; a variable radius spray diffuser (according to the pest to be treated) or a selective fumigation system.
As explained above, this device takes on its true relevance when connected to its carrier system, which corresponds to a remotely manned aerial vehicle, called RPAS (Remote Piloted Aircraft System) and commonly known as drone.
Said aircraft allows the device of the invention to reach the most inaccessible areas and provide the treatment action with excellent efficacy and efficiency, since it allows operators to stay away from the phytosanitary product while it is being applied, granting a high degree of precision. resolution thanks to the visualization and remote control system.
Advantageously, the proposed invention is completely respectful of the environment, since the application is selective, focused and in its fair measure, not altering or destroying other species.
