Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pest control light system using a yellow LED (light emitting diode).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, yellow fluorescent lamps have been used to keep away harmful insects such as fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from horticultural agricultural products.
This has a wavelength of about 580 mm, and the harmful insects dislike the vicinity of the yellow fluorescent lamp due to the repellent reaction, so that the harmful insects gathering on the horticultural crops are reduced.

[0003]

The conventional yellow fluorescent lamp is
Since a current of 100 V AC is used, its power supply is required. Therefore, it cannot be used in areas where there are no electric wires, such as in the mountains. It takes a lot of time and a lot of money to make a contract with an electric power company and to prepare a transmission facility.

The life of the yellow fluorescent lamp is short at about 2000 hours, and the life ends at about one season. Besides, it consumes a lot of electricity. It is dangerous because the voltage is high at 100V.

The pests are more and more repelled when the light source blinks, but the yellow fluorescent lamp cannot be blinked because it takes a long time to light.

According to the present invention, the pest repellent effect is the same as that of the yellow fluorescent lamp, and it can blink, and the repellent effect can be enhanced by blinking. It is an object of the present invention to provide an insect-proof light and an insect-proof light system using LEDs.

[0007]

A large number of yellow LEDs are provided and connected to a DC 12V power source to be used as an insect-proof light.

An insect-proof light system, in which a large number of yellow LEDs are arranged, is connected to a solar cell power generator having a solar cell panel and a battery to form an insect-proof light system. It is preferable to use a movable solar cell power generator as the solar cell power generator.

It is possible to connect with a controller and make the yellow LED blink.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The insect-proof lamp according to the present invention uses a yellow LED instead of the yellow fluorescent lamp. Table 1 shows the test results by the applicant of the yellow fluorescent lamp and the yellow LED insecticidal lamp. In this test, 1 m ² of white cloth was laid ² m below the insect proof lamp, and tomatoes, pears, apples, etc. were placed on it, and the number of pests on the white cloth was examined. In the table, "fluorescent lamp" means a yellow fluorescent lamp.

[0011]

[Table 1]

The test results in Table 1 show that the effect of the yellow LED is almost the same as that of the yellow fluorescent lamp, but the effect of the yellow LED is slightly better. The number of pests is
About 10 when yellow LED and yellow fluorescent lamp are not turned on
It is one-third.

Therefore, a large number of yellow LEDs are mounted on a pillar, a plate, and an electric wire, and a socket is mounted on them to form an insect-proof lamp, which can be connected to a power source.

FIG. 1A is a side view of the pillar-shaped insect-proof lamp 1, and FIG. 1B is a sectional explanatory view. In the yellow LED, a light emitting diode is enclosed in a transparent body, and two terminal wires are drawn to the outside. Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, a substrate having a plurality of holes into which the terminal lines of the light emitting diode can be inserted and the yellow LEDs are connected in series when the terminal lines are inserted into the holes is used. To form a rectangular tube body 2 and to attach the yellow LED 3 to the transparent tube 4
(Thickness is not shown in the drawing), and a socket 5 is attached to one end of the pipe 4 to form a pillar-shaped insect-proof lamp 1.

The tube body 2 is not limited to the illustrated rectangular shape, but may be another polygonal shape or a circular shape.

The insect-proof lamp 1 is provided with a pillar standing near a horticultural crop, and the insect-proof lamp 1 is supported vertically, horizontally or diagonally by a pillar, and is connected to a power source for lighting.

FIG. 2A shows a plate-shaped insecticidal lamp 6. The insect-repellent light 6 includes a yellow LE 3 provided with a large number of yellow LEDs 3 on a substrate 7 having a large number of holes and wiring on the back surface.
D3 is connected to the back wiring, and a socket is attached to the back wiring.

FIG. 2 (B) is an explanatory diagram of the use of the insect proof lamp 6. A stanchion 9 is set up in the gardening house 8 and a cross rail 10 is provided between the two stanchions. The insect-proof lamp 6 is hung on the cross rail 10 and connected to a power source to irradiate the plant 11 from above. The insect control lamp 6 may be provided with a pillar on the side of the horticultural crop, and the insect prevention lamp 6 may be vertically or obliquely supported by the pillar to irradiate the horticultural crop. Insect light 6
The use of is not limited to the use in the horticultural house 8 and can be used outdoors.

FIG. 3 shows a cord-shaped insect-proof lamp 12. A large number of yellow LEDs are attached to the electric wire 13 in series, and the electric wire 1 is fixed by winding the string 14 around the electric wire 13.
3 can be connected to the power supply. An outlet 15 is attached to both ends of the cord 14 so that the cords 14 can be successively added.

The insect-proof lamp 12 is provided with a string 14 stretched between stanchions in the garden house 8 or outdoors, and an electric wire 13 is connected to a power source to be turned on to illuminate the garden plant from above.

In any of the insecticidal lamps of the above-mentioned embodiments, a household power source or a battery can be used as a power source. In the case of a household AC power supply, a pest control light is connected to the power supply via a transformer and a rectifier, and AC 100V is changed to DC 12V for use. Alternatively, the battery may be charged from a household power source, the battery may be moved to a desired location, and a pest control light may be connected to the battery to light it.

In a mountainous area where there is no 100V power source, it is preferable to use a solar cell of a solar cell power generator as a power source. The solar cell power generation device may be a fixed type, but a mobile type is preferable because it can be moved and installed anywhere.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a mobile solar cell power generator. The solar cell power generation device 16 (hereinafter referred to as a power generation device) has a solar battery panel 17 mounted on a frame 18 so that the inclination angle can be changed, and a controller 20 (mounted on a panel 19 fixed to a frame 18 below the inside of the solar battery panel 17). The solar cell panel 17 is connected to the battery 21 via a controller). The controller 20 is for the purpose of preventing overcurrent, blinking and controlling the time and mortgage time lamp.

As the solar cell of the solar power generation device, known solar cells such as amorphous solar cells, silicon solar cells and dye solar cells may be used. However, it is preferable to use a dye solar cell because the dye solar cell is low in cost, has little angle dependence, can absorb light scattered light to generate electricity, and can be made lightweight by using a plastic.

A reflecting mirror 22 is attached to the frame 18 above the solar cell panel 17 so as to be tiltable. The reflecting mirror 22 receives the sunlight and reflects it on the solar cell panel 17, and the solar cell panel 17 receives the sunlight directly received and the sunlight reflected by the reflecting mirror 22 to increase the power generation amount. . Although the power generation amount is inferior in order to reduce the size of the power generator, the reflecting mirror 22 may be omitted.

The power generator 16 is brought out near an outdoor horticultural crop without a 100V power source, the directions and angles of the solar cell panel 17 and the reflecting mirror 22 are adjusted, and the battery 21 and the insect lamp are connected to each other to control the insect lamp. Lights up.

The insect pest repellent effect is enhanced as the insect lamp is repeatedly blinked. Since the yellow LED lights up very quickly, it is convenient to repeat blinking. If you install a controller on the insect-proof light, the insect-proof light will blink repeatedly.

The solar cell power generator may not be mobile but may be fixedly installed in a horticultural house or a farm.

[0029]

The insecticidal lamp according to the present invention is economical because the yellow LED has a semi-permanent life and very little power consumption. Further, since the yellow LED can be quickly turned on and off repeatedly, the insect-proof effect can be enhanced by blinking the insect-proof lamp. Since the power consumption is low, a solar cell power generator can be used. If a mobile solar cell generator is used, it is possible to easily obtain electric power even outdoors without a 100V power supply. DC 12V can be used and the voltage is low, so it is safe. The insect repellent effect is slightly better than the fluorescent repellent lamp. The insect repellent effect is further enhanced by flashing the insect repellent lights with the controller.
