    Automated roof system for gutters by mechanical drive. The invention consists of a concentric gutter (b), tangent to a main gutter (a) that rotates on its own axis mechanically driven by a control subsystem, forming a dome and not allowing the accumulation of dirt during the periods between rains . The mechanical drive consists of a gear wheel (c), to whose inner circumference the concentric gutter (b) is welded and whose movement is facilitated by an endless screw (e) mechanically connected to a direct current electric motor (F). The control subsystem consists of a microcontroller (i) powered by a lithium-ion battery (j) which in turn is connected to a photovoltaic solar cover (g) located on an electrical panel (h) that houses the components (i) and (j) and the connections of the element (i) to the element (f) and to a rain sensor (k) located on a horizontal and uncovered surface that sends the movement signal from the concentric gutter (b) to the microcontroller (i).

    [0002] Automated cover system for gutters by mechanical drive.
    [0003]
    [0004] Technical sector
    [0005]
    [0006] The invention is framed in the sector of mechanical elements, being a system of pipes for the conduction of fluids driven by mechanical devices in which engineering elements of machines such as joints or couplings stand out.
    [0007]
    [0008] Background of the invention
    [0009]
    [0010] Currently there are different methods to combat dirt in the gutters of homes, but none of them offers an optimal solution to the problem. For example, there is a roller built in PVC that is placed on the same gutter, preventing the accumulation of leaves and bird nests but at the same time allows the filtration of water through the spaces that its geometry releases against the gutter. The problem is the low water capacity that allows channeling.
    [0011]
    [0012] Other examples may be leaf blowers driven by a motor and a nozzle, which do not prevent the accumulation of dirt in the ducts of the gutters, although their cleaning.
    [0013]
    [0014] Finally, metal or PVC gratings are used placed on the ducts themselves, so as to prevent the access of leaves and birds. The problem is that they do not prevent their accumulation on the grid or the growth of plants inside the gutters.
    [0015]
    [0016] Explanation of the invention.
    [0017]
    [0018] The present invention relates to a system that prevents the accumulation of dirt in the gutters of buildings by the mechanical actuation of different parts. On the one hand, there is a concentric gutter housed within the structure of the main gutter. This concentric gutter is allowed the rotation movement and the translational one restricted, forming a vault on the main gutter when turning longitudinally on its own axis. The rotation movement is driven by a direct current electric motor. This motor is connected by its axis of rotation to worm, which causes the rotation of a cog wheel perpendicular and tangential to its contact surface. Thus, it is achieved that the linear movement of the worm becomes a rotational movement in the gearwheel and actuates the concentric gutter to rotate on itself forming a cylinder-shaped structure.
    [0019]
    [0020] The DC motor is driven by an electrical signal from a microcontroller, which is housed in an electrical panel fixed on an exterior wall of the building. The microcontroller is conveniently programmed to rotate the number of precise radians the concentric gutter and thus position it on the main gutter. The microcontroller is powered by a 5.5 V lithium-ion battery, rechargeable by photovoltaic solar energy. The battery is housed in the same electrical panel as the microcontroller, where the DC motor drivers are also located.
    [0021] To recharge the microcontroller battery, and always have energy to drive the system, a photovoltaic solar cover is strategically located above the electrical panel. The photovoltaic solar panel provides a continuous voltage of 5.5 V and a nominal power of 0.6 W. These electrical characteristics are sufficient to have full operation of the microcontroller, the rain sensor and the motor Electric DC for 24 hours 365 days a year in any weather condition. In this way the photovoltaic solar cover is connected to the Lithium-Ion battery, which in turn is connected to the microcontroller inside the electrical panel.
    [0022]
    [0023] To detect the rain and discover the main gutter in case of precipitation, a rain sensor is located on a completely uncovered and horizontal surface. At the moment when the sensor detects the presence of water droplets, it will send a signal to the microcontroller to operate the DC motor and rotate the concentric gutter the number of radians necessary to return to the initial configuration in which the main gutter discovered. After a period of time defined by the user of the system, the microcontroller would restart the electric motor of direct current to cover the main gutter again.
    [0024]
    [0025] Brief description of the drawings
    [0026]
    [0027] Figure 1 shows the typical arrangement of the main gutter (a) fixed to a wall (d) to which a concentric gutter (b) contained in the previous one has been incorporated, which acts as a shield against dirt when turning on its axle driven by the movement of a cogwheel (c).
    [0028]
    [0029] Figure 2 shows the mechanism that allows to rotate the concentric gutter (b) contained in the main gutter (a) by means of the rotation of a cogwheel (c) which in turn rotates thanks to the action of a screw without -fin (e) whose movement is generated by the direct current electric motor (f).
    [0030]
    [0031] Figure 3 shows the entire installation of the system in a typical configuration, where the main gutter (a) and the concentric gutter housed inside it, the toothed wheel (c) and the worm screw (e) are arranged. and the photovoltaic solar cover (g) together with the rain sensor (k) on the electrical panel (h).
    [0032]
    [0033] Figure 4 shows the configuration of the photovoltaic solar cover (g) and the electrical panel (h) that in turn contains the microcontroller (j) and their respective connections to both the Lithium-Ion battery (j) and the Rain sensor and DC electric motor.
    [0034] Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
    [0035]
    [0036] By way of a preferred configuration proposal of the invention, in accordance with the inventive criteria of the author, the design of all the components of the installation is as described below.
    [0037]
    [0038] As shown in Figure 1, the main gutter (a) is fixed to the wall (d) of any building so that inside it houses a concentric gutter (b) so that there is a tangential contact at each point , with a single allowed movement of the concentric gutter (b) on the main gutter (a), that of rotation on the longitudinal axis that they have in common.
    [0039]
    [0040] For this rotation movement to be possible, and the final configuration is as shown in Figure 1 in which the concentric gutter (b) is positioned as a vault on the main gutter (a), the rotational action of a gearwheel (c) whose inner circumference is welded to the concentric gutter (b).
    [0041]
    [0042] The movement of the cogwheel (c) must be driven by an endless screw (e) as it appears in Figure 2, thus turning the longitudinal movement into rotary. Screw Endless (e) owes its movement to the direct current electric motor (f) to which it is welded or mechanically bonded.
    [0043] The connection of the direct current electric motor (f) is made to the microcontroller (i) housed in an electrical panel (h) as shown in Figure 4. The electrical panel (h) is fixed to the wall (d) mechanically with anchors. On the electrical panel (h) there is a photovoltaic solar cover (g) with electrical characteristics 5.5 V DC voltage and 0.6 W nominal power. Similarly, the rain sensor (the YL83 sensor is proposed) (k) should be housed on a horizontal and uncovered surface, as proposed in Figure 3.
    [0044] The electrical connections of the photovoltaic solar cover (g), the rain sensor (k) and the direct current electric motor (f) must go to the microcontroller (i) and the lithium-ion battery (j) inside the electrical panel (h) by means of sealed pasamuros.
