    [0002] Germicidal modified atmosphere control machine.
    [0003]
    [0004] Object of the invention
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention, according to what is expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a machine prepared to work in fruit, vegetable and flower chambers 24 hours a day, 365 days a 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 germicidal modified atmosphere control machine achieves 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. However, said 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 ...
    [0007]
    [0008] Indicate that microbes such as: bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, protozoa ... whether pathogenic 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.
    [0009]
    [0010] In this way, the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine is the ideal solution for sanitizing the air and eliminating ethylene in the storage chambers of fresh products (fruits, vegetables and flowers) from the storage chambers in origin to the chambers of distribution in large logistics platforms or small supermarkets.
    [0011]
    [0012] The aforementioned machine 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 chambers.
    [0013]
    [0014] Therefore, the filters incorporated in the aforementioned invention are intended to oxidize and inhibit ethylene. They are natural and ecological filters. Add that the machine complies with RoHS regulations (restriction of hazardous substances in electrical equipment).
    [0015]
    [0016] Thus, among the technical advantages offered by the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine, are the following:
    [0017]
    [0018] It does not produce organoleptic alterations in food, that is, it preserves the properties of the same, 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 simple and easy to use and application. The machine does not involve a high cost of manufacturing or maintenance.
    [0019]
    [0020] Thus, the referenced germicidal modified atmosphere control machine only needs a schuko base of single phase current at 230v 50 Hz and with the appropriate ground connection for its installation. It does not need the use of connection adapters, which can interrupt the ground connection to the socket.
    [0021]
    [0022] Note that it is important to place it inside the chamber, because it must be located behind the evaporator to take advantage of the air circulation that this produces and thus supply clean air to be subsequently cooled and distributed throughout the chamber.
    [0023]
    [0024] The germicidal modified atmosphere control machine, object of the present invention does not need additional support base since it is placed directly on the wall of the chamber.
    [0025]
    [0026] In the event that the camera has the evaporator in the center of the chamber, the machine will be placed on one of the walls of the chamber. The machine object of the invention has a location where natural and ecological filters are introduced, whose purpose is to oxidize and inhibit ethylene.
    [0027]
    [0028] Another outstanding characteristic of the modified atmosphere control machine, object of the present invention, is that all of it is of 316L surgical stainless steel structure. It is an austenitic nickel chromium stainless steel that contains molybdenum. This addition increases the resistance to general corrosion, improves the pitting resistance of chloride ion solutions and provides greater resistance at elevated temperatures.
    [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 on the market whose main objective is the preservation of cold room atmospheres, etc., although unlike the machine object of the present invention, they use compounds and substances that are highly harmful to foods that are intended to be preserved or keep. Therefore, they present an important problem, in order to the healthiness and hygiene of the foods to be conserved.
    [0037]
    [0038] Description of the invention
    [0039]
    [0040] In order to solve the drawbacks that have been raised in the previous paragraphs, it has been devised The germicidal modified atmosphere control machine, object of the present invention, which does not use harmful chemical compounds for food preservation, besides having of other important technical advantages such as that it does not produce organoleptic alterations in food, that is, it preserves the properties of the same, without producing any modification or variation; employs a physical method in which energy is the germicidal medium, without generating harmful or undesirable secondary products; 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 simple and easy to use and application; The machine does not involve a high cost of manufacturing or maintenance.
    [0041]
    [0042] Thus, the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine obeys the following operating dynamics:
    [0043] The air in the chamber where the food or flowers are stored, is sucked into the germicidal modified atmosphere control 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 the incorporated bactericidal products.
    [0044]
    [0045] Thus, after circulating air passes through a germicidal system (4), existing inside the germicidal modified atmosphere control machine where 80% of spores are eliminated. Then the clean air comes out and then the evaporator of the chamber, cools it and distributes it throughout the chamber.
    [0046]
    [0047] The so-called germicidal system (4), is composed of 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), object of the invention, only takes advantage of it, if it exists located in the chamber.
    [0048]
    [0049] It is then the object of the present invention to provide a germicidal modified atmosphere control machine (1), which has the purpose of 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. Thus, by means of a series of processes, together with the incorporation of a series of pieces and elements, such as fans (2), filters (3) and a germicidal system (4), which incorporates an ultraviolet light diffuser (6) , which works in certain wavelengths The germicidal modified atmosphere control machine (1), is capable of purifying the air and eliminating all types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts and protozoa, preserving the fruits, vegetables and flowers of the formation of molds and fungi.
    [0050]
    [0051] Description of the figures
    [0052]
    [0053] 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 attached to the present descriptive report, in which the following is shown as an illustrative and non-limiting character. :
    [0054]
    [0055] - 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.
    [0056]
    [0057] Description of the preferred embodiment
    [0058]
    [0059] Thus, a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned machine (1), would be the following, first of all proceeding to the design of the machine, in the shape of a box, all of it in 316L stainless steel, subsequently proceeding to the cutting and bending of the machine. the different parts of it, joining together by screws with absence of welds. Later the fans are inserted, in the upper part, the ultraviolet light diffuser (6) is also placed inside it, and the ecological filters (3) are placed inside the machine (1).
    [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 ground connection to the socket. The machine (1), it is placed behind the existing evaporator normally in conservation chambers of fruits and vegetables, to take advantage of the circulation of air that this produces, and thus to supply clean air to later be cooled and distributed throughout the chamber. The machine (1) does not need additional support base since it is placed directly on the wall of the chamber. In the event that the camera has the evaporator in the center of the chamber, the machine will be placed on one of the walls of the chamber.
    [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 indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are subject to modifications of detail insofar as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
