Resumo(s)
Desde há muito tempo que a lagarta do pinheiro tem sido uma causadora de grandes
problemas, tanto às pessoas como às florestas. Atualmente existem vários métodos para a
combater, no entanto nenhum deles é muito eficaz quando existem árvores mais altas, ou
quando as suas copas estão em contacto. Surgiu assim a necessidade de criar um método de
combate que seja facilmente capaz de alcançar os locais que atualmente não são tratados.
A solução encontrada foi o projeto de um dispositivo de pequenas dimensões que possa
ser transportado por um drone até aos locais mais escondidos, para administrar uma pequena
quantidade de inseticida nos ninhos. Assim foi feito o seu projeto, foram escolhidos os componentes
a comprar e dimensionadas as peças a produzir. Foi detalhado o processo de fabrico
dos componentes projetados. Foram feitos testes para validar a escolha de componentes, e
verificar que o funcionamento do conjunto seria o esperado. Para tal foram fabricados alguns
dos componentes do conjunto. Tendo sido os resultados obtidos nos testes, positivos, passou-se
para a construção do protótipo.
For a long time, the pine processionary moth has been a pest that causes severe problems, not only to people but to the forests too. Today there are several methods to control this pest, however, none of them is remarkably effective when the trees are too tall or grow too close to each other. From that comes the necessity to create a control method that is easily capable of reaching the places that are not targeted today. The solution that was found was to design a small device that can be transported by a drone to the most difficult places, a spray a small amount of insecticide in the nests. Therefore, the device was designed, the commercially available components were selected and the components to manufacture were dimensioned. The manufacturing of the designed parts was detailed. Some tests were made to ensure the correct selection of components and verify the operation of the device. To make these tests, some of the necessary components were manufactured. Being the test results positive, a prototype was built.
