    [0002] Improved modified atmosphere control germicidal machine.
    [0003]
    [0004] Object of the invention
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention, according to what is expressed in the wording of this specification, refers to a machine prepared to work preferably in supermarkets and / or large areas in the fruit and vegetable section 24 hours a day, 365 days a day. of the year. Thus, the machine object of the present invention is presented as the definitive solution to eliminate contaminants in an effective way throughout all the stages of the post-harvest process. In short, the modified germicidal modified atmosphere control machine achieves not only sterilization and prevents the reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts and protozoa, preserving fruits, vegetables and flowers from the formation of molds and fungi , but it presents as an important novelty with respect to the germicidal machines of control of modified atmosphere, already existing in the market, the possibility of elimination of flying insects.
    [0007]
    [0008] However, the aforementioned machine can be used for the conservation of any food, since it cleans and sanitizes the environment where they are. For example, eliminating bacteria that can cause putrefaction and / or decomposition in meats and fish. It also cleans the environment in any room where it is placed, and it is necessary to have a cleaning and sterilization of the environment, for example in dentists' rooms, hospitals ...
    [0009]
    [0010] Note that microbes such as: bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, protozoa ... are germs of the pathogen type or not, are vulnerable to the effects of ultraviolet light at wavelengths close to 253.7 nanometers (UV- C), where the machine object of the invention acts as a germicide affecting the molecular structure of the microorganism, sterilizing it and preventing its reproduction.
    [0011]
    [0012] In this way, the modified germicidal modified atmosphere control machine is the ideal solution not only for air sanitation and ethylene removal in the storage chambers of fresh products (fruits, vegetables and flowers) from the conservation chambers in origin until the distribution chambers in large logistic platforms or small supermarkets, but also for the elimination of insects that may exist in the conservation chambers or in the corresponding sections of fruits and vegetables of hypermarkets or fruit shops.
    [0013]
    [0014] The aforementioned machine also incorporates a series of filters, which are preservatives without additives, which purify the atmosphere without leaving residues, are not toxic or harmful to health, and do not harm food. They also eliminate odors in the cameras. An extractable tray with grooves for catching insects, which has an internal sheet impregnated with adhesive substances, which prevent the insect from escaping.
    [0015]
    [0016] Thus, among the technical advantages offered by the improved modified atmosphere control germicidal machine, are the following:
    [0017]
    [0018] It does not produce organoleptic alterations in food, that is, it preserves their properties, without producing any modification or variation. The machine object of the invention employs a physical method in which the energy is the germicidal medium, without generating harmful or undesirable secondary products. The treatment provided by the machine does not produce chemical residues or radiation. The machine is effective for the disinfection of various surfaces. The machine is effective for the inactivation of multiple microorganisms. The machine is of simple and easy handling and application. The machine does not involve a high cost of manufacture or maintenance. Eliminates flying insects, through the existence of a box or lower tray with slots, where insects penetrate and are trapped in the sheet impregnated with adhesive substances, which prevent the insect to escape.
    [0019]
    [0020] Thus, the referenced modified germicidal modified atmosphere control machine only needs a schuko base with single-phase current at 230v 50 Hz and with the proper grounding for its installation. It does not need the use of connection adapters, which can interrupt the connection of ground to the socket.
    [0021]
    [0022] Note that it is important to place inside the camera where the fruits and vegetables are stored, because it must be located behind the evaporator, to take advantage of the air circulation that this produces, and thus provide clean air to be cooled and distributed later for the whole camera. The modified germicidal modified atmospheric control machine object of the present invention does not need additional support base since it is placed directly on the wall of the chamber, or in the area where fruits and vegetables are placed in fruit shops or supermarkets.
    [0023]
    [0024] In the case that the camera has the evaporator in the center of the camera, the machine will be placed in one of the walls of the same. The machine object of the invention has a location, where natural and ecological filters are introduced, whose purpose is to oxidize and inhibit ethylene.
    [0025]
    [0026] Another outstanding characteristic of the modified modified atmosphere control machine, object of the present invention, is that it is all of stainless steel structure 316L surgical. It is an austenitic chromium nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This addition increases the resistance to general corrosion, improves the resistance to pitting of chloride ion solutions and provides greater resistance at elevated temperatures.
    [0027]
    [0028] Likewise, it presents as a novelty, the incorporation of a lower tray with holes that allows the capture of flying insects, favoring the healthiness of the spaces where it is located, preferably supermarkets, or storage centers for fruits and vegetables.
    [0029]
    [0030] Scope
    [0031]
    [0032] The field of application of the present invention is that of the industry producing food conservative machinery using clean or alterative energies, as well as that of the industries of sterilization and cleaning of facilities, and agro-food industries.
    [0033]
    [0034] Background of the invention
    [0035]
    [0036] There are various types of machines in the market whose main objective is the preservation of refrigerating chamber atmospheres, etc., although unlike the machine object of the present invention, they use compounds and substances that are highly harmful for the food that is to be preserved or keep. Therefore, they present an important problem, in order to the health and hygiene of the foods to be conserved.
    [0037]
    [0038] Likewise, there is in the prior State of the art patent application No. 201800101 MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE CONTROL GERMICIDE MACHINE, which has as an important drawback with respect to the new patent modified germicidal modified atmosphere control patent application, object of the present invention, that the one referenced P201800101 above does not have a mechanism for eliminating flying insects, that is, an extractable tray impregnated with adhesive substances, so that the latter represented a real danger, or threat to the foods that were to be conserved through the use of these germicidal machines.
    [0039]
    [0040] Description of the invention
    [0041]
    [0042] In order to solve the problems that have been raised in the previous paragraphs, that is, in order to provide solutions, and thus eradicate flying insects, which may exist in different areas where fruits and vegetables are conserved for sale in supermarkets or large surfaces, and in this way obtain a better conservation of that type of food, and therefore, that they have optimal organoleptic properties, has been devised to perfected modified atmosphere control germicidal machine, object of the present invention , which in addition to not using harmful chemical compounds for the preservation of foods, and preserve their properties, without producing modification or any variation; employs a physical method in which energy is the germicidal medium, without generating harmful or undesirable secondary products; it does not produce chemical residues or radiation; resulting effective for disinfection of various surfaces; and thus being effective for the inactivation of multiple microorganisms, besides all this, presents as a novelty or substantial improvement with respect to the germicidal machines existing in the market, and therefore, in the current state of the art, the incorporation of a lower tray with a series of slots, where once introduced the existing flying insects in the area of influence of the aforementioned machine, it is practically impossible to leave the aforementioned tray or box, as it has a sheet impregnated with adhesive substances. The aforementioned tray is extractable, allowing it to be cleaned, depending on whether there are insects inside it or not.
    [0043]
    [0044] Thus, the air in the chamber or room where the food or flowers are stored is sucked into the improved modified atmosphere control germicidal machine (1), by means of fans (2) arranged in the upper part of the machine (1), this air once inside the machine circulates through natural and ecological filters (3), which eliminate between 20-30% of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts and protozoa due to bactericidal products that they have incorporated.
    [0045]
    [0046] Thus, the circulating air passes through a germicidal system (4), existing in the interior of the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine where 80% of spores are eliminated. Then the clean air comes out and then the evaporator (7), from the chamber, cools and distributes it throughout the chamber.
    [0047]
    [0048] The so-called germicidal system (4), is integrated by an ultraviolet light diffuser (6), which operates at wavelengths close to 253.7 nanometers (UV-C range), since said wavelength, affect the molecular structure of the microorganism, sterilizing it and preventing its reproduction. In the event that the chamber has an evaporator (7), the machine (1), will always be located behind the aforementioned evaporator to take advantage of its air diffusion power, and thus be able to complete the air flow circuit. However, we must indicate that the evaporator, is not part of the machine (1), only takes advantage of it, if it exists located in the camera. The aforementioned machine (1), incorporates an extractable tray (8) with multiple slots (9), in its lower part, which traps the flying insects, which are atrald by an ultraviolet light diffuser (6), as the insects penetrate and they can not escape, since the tray (8) has a sheet of adhesive substances (10). It is then the object of the present invention to provide a germicidal modified atmospheric control machine (1), which has the purpose of sterilization and prevents the reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, etc., preserving the fruits, vegetables and flowers of the formation of molds and fungi. Thus, by means of a series of processes, together with the incorporation of a series of pieces and elements, the air is purified from the fruit and vegetable section where the machine is located (1), using fans (2), filters (3) and a germicidal system (4), which incorporates an ultraviolet light diffuser (6), which attracts insects to the machine (1), and through the holes (9), located below the aforementioned ultraviolet light diffuser (6), the insects fall into the interior of the the casing (5), and are deposited in the extractable tray (8), located at the bottom, of the casing (5). The extractable tray is surrounded by holes or holes (9), and a sheet of adhesive substances (10), thus allowing trapping insects.
    [0049]
    [0050] Description of the figures
    [0051]
    [0052] To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is accompanied to the present descriptive memory, in which, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented. :
    [0053]
    [0054] Figure 1 shows a side profile view of the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine (1), object of the present invention and the generated air circuit, where the lower tray (8) with grooves (9) and adhesive sheet (10).
    [0055]
    [0056] Description of the preferred embodiment
    [0057]
    [0058] Thus, a preferred embodiment of said machine (1), will be the following one, first of all the design of the machine will be carried out, in the shape of a box, all of it in 316L stainless steel, after which the cutting and bending of the machine will be carried out. the different parts of it, assembled together by a screwdriver with no welding. Later, slots or holes (9) are made in the lower part of the box, and the extractable tray (8) is inserted inside, with the sheet of adhesive substances (10), after which the fans, in the upper part, the ultraviolet light diffuser (6) is also disposed inside it, and the ecological filters (3) are placed inside the machine (1).
    [0059]
    [0060] The machine (1), only needs a schuko base with single-phase current at 230v 50 Hz and with the proper grounding for its installation. It is not necessary to use connection adapters that can interrupt the connection of ground to the socket. The machine (1), is placed behind the evaporator (7), normally existing in conservation chambers of fruits and vegetables, to take advantage of the air circulation that this produces, and thus to supply clean air to later be cooled and distributed throughout the camera. The machine (1) does not need additional support base since it is placed directly on the wall of the camera.
    [0061]
    [0062] Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner in which it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions previously indicated and represented in the attached drawings are subject to modifications of detail insofar as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
