\O
1. Field of Invention 0 The present invention relates to a solar insect killer and catcher. In particular, the present invention employs a principle that the insects can be

attracted by light sources having various wavelengths. A casing is provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths. With such arrangement, many kinds of insects can be attracted by the light sources having various wavelengths, and then fly into a preset water-collecting basin or water-collecting pit. When the insects falls into the water collecting basin or water collecting pit, they are captured and thus cannot escape from there.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART In the ambient environment of daily life, there are many kinds of insects.
Some insects are harmful to people. The major harmful insects in the house are mosquitoes. Since the mosquitoes can bite the human body, they are troublesome and make people intolerable. Further, some insects are harmful to the plants and thus such kinds of insects are also troublesome to farmers, flower farmers and fruit farmers because they will cause a certain degree of loss to the plants. No doubt, those harmful insects are a big trouble to the planting industry.
A general method for prevent those harmful insects is to use a mosquito catcher lamp. The mosquito catcher lamp employs the phototaxis and the O sensitivity to specific wavelengths of the mosquitoes. Accordingly, the mosquitoes can be attracted by the light of a lamp tube and thus contact an electric net surface. As a result, the mosquitoes can be instantaneously burned by the high-volt electricity produced on the electric net. An electric mosquito racket also employs the similar principle. However, the mosquito catcher lamp may be potentially dangerous to the elders or children in the family because watching the lamp tube for a long time may cause the pathology of cataracts. Further, if the children curiously touch the electric net with their fingers, they will be struck by high-volt electricity. Further, turning on the mosquito catcher lamp for a long time will inevitably increase the expense of electricity. Even though the electric mosquito racket is powered by dry batteries, it is still possible that the user may accidentally touch the electric net.
Therefore, the above conventional devices really have some drawbacks and need to be improved.
In view of the drawbacks of the conventional mosquito catcher lamp, the inventor of the present invention thus provides a solar insect killer and catcher based on his expert experience and research.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a solar insect killer and catcher. The present invention employs a principle that insects will be attracted by light sources having various wavelengths. A casing is provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths.
With such arrangement, many kinds of the insects can be attracted by the light sources having various wavelengths, and then fly into a preset water-collecting O basin or water-collecting pit. When the insects fall into the water-collecting basin or water-collecting pit, they are captured and thus cannot escape from there.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar insect killer and catcher, in which a solar plate is provided to transform the solar energy into electricity and the transformed electricity can be saved by a power supply. With _the above arrangement, the present invention does not need to provide any external power supply.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar insect killer and catcher, which is simple in structure, easy to operate and low in cost.
In order to achieve the above objects, the solar insect killer and catcher of the present invention comprises a casing, a solar plate, a power supply, a control switch, a timer, a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths. The casing is transparent and hollow. The upper end of the inner wall surface of the casing is provided with a solar plate. The solar plate can receive the solar energy and then transform it into electricity. The solar plate is connected to the power supply for saving the electricity transformed by the solar plate. The power supply is connected to the control switch and the timer. The control switch and the timer are provided on the outer side of the casing, respectively. A supporting hook or supporting ring is provided at a proper position outside the casing for hanging the casing.
Alternatively, a supporting frame, supporting net or supporting basket having a proper height can be provided. The circuit board is provided at a proper position in the casing. The bottom surface of the circuit board is provided with the plurality of light-emitting elements able to emit the lights having various wavelengths. The light-emitting elements can be turned on/off simultaneously O or individually under the control of the timer. With the above components, the solar insect killer and catcher of the present invention can be obtained. When a user intends to kill or catch the insects, he/she only needs to turn on the switch to energize the light-emitting elements to emit the lights having various wavelengths.
The timer can control the timing of the light-emitting elements to emit the lights.
_Finally, a water-collecting basin is provided or a water-collecting pit is dug outdoors. When the casing emits the lights having various wavelengths according to the preset timings, many kinds of insects can be attracted by the lights and then fly into the water-collecting basin or water-collecting pit. As a result, the insects cannot escape from the water collecting basin or water collecting pit and be captured therein.
These features and advantages of the present invention will be fully understood and appreciated from the following detailed description of the accompanying drawings.
