Abstract
The pneumatic sprayer for palm trees includes an air tank having an outlet; a one-way air valve having an input port and output port, the outlet of the air tank being connected to the input port of the one-way air valve; a compressor connected to the one-way air valve; a pressure regulator connected to the air tank regulating the pressure of the air coming from the outlet of the air tank; an outlet tank connected to the output port of the one-way air valve; and a sprayer device connected to the outlet tank.
Claims18
A pneumatic sprayer for palm trees, comprising:
- an air tank having an outlet;
- a one-way air valve having an input port and output port, the outlet of the air tank being connected to the input port of the one-way air valve;
- a compressor connected to the one-way air valve;
- an electronic pressure regulator connected to the air tank, the pressure regulator regulating pressure of air coming from the outlet of the air tank;
- an outlet tank connected to the output port of the one-way air valve, wherein the outlet tank further comprises a stirring system and a first timer to control a stirring time to prevent pesticide sedimentation and wherein said first timer delays a start of the stirring system for a specific amount of time after the compressor starts to work;
- a sprayer connected to the outlet tank;
- a laser connected to the sprayer, the laser marking a target on a palm tree;
- a PV panel supplying power to operate the pneumatic sprayer;
- and
- a control panel for operating the pneumatic sprayer under automatic or manual control,
- wherein the PV panel supplying power to operate the pneumatic sprayer is controlled by a second timer.
A system for spraying pesticides and pollination fluids, comprising:
- a trolley;
- an air tank mounted on the trolley, the air tank having an outlet;
- a one-way air valve having an input port and output port, the outlet of the air tank being connected to the input port of the one-way air valve;
- a compressor connected to the one-way air valve;
- an electronic pressure regulator connected to the air tank, the pressure regulator regulating pressure of air coming from the outlet of the air tank;
- an outlet tank mounted on the trolley, the outlet tank being connected to the output port of the one-way air valve, the outlet tank having a bottom and an outlet valve on the bottom of the tank to ensure draining all pesticide from the outlet tank, wherein the outlet tank further comprises a stirring system and a first timer to control a stirring time to prevent pesticide sedimentation and wherein said first timer delays a start of the stirring system for a specific amount of time after the compressor starts to work;
- a sprayer connected to the outlet tank;
- a laser connected to the sprayer, the laser marking a target on a palm tree;
- a PV panel supplying power to operate the system;
- and
- a control panel for operating the pneumatic sprayer under automatic or manual control,
- wherein the PV panel supplying power to operate the system is controlled by a second timer.
A method for spraying pesticides and pollination fluids, comprising:
- setting a pressure for a sprayer through a pressure regulator and a compressor connected to a one-way air valve, air from an air tank being supplied to an outlet tank through the one-way air valve;
- using, at the outlet tank, a stirring system and a first timer to control a stirring time to prevent pesticide sedimentation and wherein said first timer delays a start of the stirring system for a specific amount of time after the compressor starts to work;
- using a PV panel to supply power to operate the sprayer where the supplied power is controlled by a second timer;
- aiming the sprayer connected to the outlet tank containing a substance to be dispersed from the spray device;
- marking a target on a palm tree using a laser connected to the sprayer;
- and
- dispersing the substance at the target through the sprayer.
