DEVICE FOR NEUTRALISING OR DESTROYING INSECTS SUCH AS ASIAN HORNETS OR SIMILAR IN THEIR NEST

摘要

According to various characteristics of the invention, the object of the invention is a device for neutralizing the activity of insects in the nest of Asian hornets mechanically and by eliminating the insect's access to oxygen. The invention comprises a small-format robot-type mobile transport access device (view 1) with an extendable / telescopic arm system (view 2) up to the height of the nest, an articulated gripping system of the grapple-type nest (view 3) equipped with a pneumatic type compression system thanks to the first membrane securing the intervention (view 4) and mechanical of the nest by the controlled closing of the grapple (view 3), a second membrane (view 5) ensuring after it has been closed, the safety and tightness of the bag thus formed (view 5), a system for emptying the ambient air from the bag as well as possible (view 5) replaced by a food-grade gas stopping the activity of insects by their temporary or definitive neutralization depending on the exposure time and the gas dose used by removing oxygen. The device is optionally completed with a multi-axis articulated tool holder arm (view 8) to separate the nest from its environment using a saber-type or chainsaw-type saw tool installed at the gripping system. grapple type which itself can be equipped with an operations control camera.
