  However, since the technique of Patent Document 1 is based on the premise that sunlight is used, it cannot cope with a nocturnal beast. Therefore, night damage cannot be prevented. In addition, in the case of a beast with high learning ability, a long-term use often results in habituation and often does not exert a sufficient effect.

  In particular, in the case of a spear, it is often compared to an animal with a high learning ability. A spear or the like can be easily repeated if it is avoided, and depending on the type of fence, the effect of maintenance is low, and the maintenance cost is also a heavy burden.

  Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have focused on the fact that an animal repelling device that has never existed before can be developed by developing a device that emits strong light so that a nocturnal animal can not be seen directly. .

  The present invention is a low-cost device that emits strong light in all directions to give a sense of vigilance to nocturnal animals and can suppress entry into fields and the like.

In this case, the control circuit is a repelling device that blinks random light in the horizontal direction of the sealed transparent container.

  The invention described in claim 4 uses a rechargeable battery as a power supply source to the printed circuit board in addition to the invention described in claims 1 to 3, and the remaining battery level of the power supply source is a predetermined amount. If less, it is an animal repelling device further comprising a red light emitting diode for notifying the remaining battery level when judged by measuring the power supply voltage of the control circuit.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing an appearance of a repelling device 15 according to the present invention. The repelling device 15 includes a sealed transparent container 10 as an exterior, a circular printed circuit board 6 disposed horizontally inside the sealed transparent container 10, a support 8 for fixing the printed circuit board 6, and the printed circuit board 6 An infrared sensor 3, a battery remaining amount indicator lamp 4, a high-intensity white light emitting diode 1, a phototransistor 2, and an electronic control element 5 are provided above, and a rechargeable dry battery 9 is provided below the printed board 6.

  The upper part of the sealed transparent container 10 includes a transparent lid 14, and the hanging metal fitting 7 is fixed to the upper part of the transparent lid 14. This hanging metal fitting 7 can be easily suspended with a string or the like while matching the terrain on which the repelling device 15 is installed, so that labor is not required. Furthermore, since the sealed transparent container is also resistant to wind and rain, daily management is easy.

  The support column 8 penetrates the transparent lid 14 of the container, and the hanging metal fitting 7 is fixed to the portion through which the support column 8 penetrates by a screwing method, and is waterproofed. A rechargeable dry battery 9 is placed on the bottom surface of the sealed transparent container 10 with an upper lid and connected to the circuit of the printed circuit board 6.

  The upper surface shape of the sealed transparent container 10 is preferably circular. As will be described later, since the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 is disposed at the end portion of the circular printed circuit board 6, it can emit light in all directions with respect to the side surface portion of the repelling device 15. That is, the sealed transparent container 10 itself can emit light over the entire exterior, like the glass bulb shell of a light bulb.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of the circular printed circuit board 6 when the repelling device 15 is viewed from above. The high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-a to 1-f are respectively disposed on the outer peripheral horizontal ends of the printed board 6. The high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-a to f are divided into two groups, and the white light-emitting diodes 1-a, c, and e are odd groups, and the white light-emitting diodes 1-b, d, and f are Even number set.

  The high brightness white light emitting diode 1 may be a high brightness white light emitting diode with a primary lens. In addition, the electronic control element 5 for making the high-intensity white light emitting diode 1 blink at random is arrange | positioned in the center part.

  The high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-a to f are preferably 1 watt class LEDs with a median luminous flux of 80 lumens or more. This 1-watt class LED is said to be about 200 times stronger than the conventional one.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the electronic control circuit 12 and the input / output device arranged on the printed circuit board 6.

  The phototransistor 2 is a sensor for sensing the brightness of evening and dawn and turning the power on and off. The remaining battery level indicator 4 is displayed by blinking a red light emitting diode when the remaining amount is low and charging is required, and does not blink when the remaining amount is zero.

  The infrared sensor 3 is a sensor for blinking the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 even in the daytime, assuming that it is difficult to specify an unspecified movement or approach method depending on the type of animal.

  The repelling device 15 is installed at the height of the eye of the eagle on the approach path when the repelling beast is a samurai and the like and the approach path can be specified, but further effects can be obtained by reviewing the position at regular intervals. Can be expected. In the case of other nocturnal animals, an infrared sensor can also be used in combination to flash the alarm when approaching according to the approach, so that further alertness can be given.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart of control processing executed by the repelling device 15. First, the power receiving battery 9 is attached to the repelling device 15 and the power is turned on. Next, the electronic control circuit 12 waits for about 2.5 seconds until the voltage becomes stable since the voltage rises immediately after the power is turned on (S01).

  Next, as the power supply voltage measurement 1, after the circuit is stabilized, the power supply voltage (battery voltage) is measured (S02). The nickel hydride battery 1.2V × 4 = 4.8V is assumed to be an appropriate voltage. When the abnormally high voltage is set to 6 V or more, the battery is dead and the abnormally low voltage is set to 4.2 V or less, and a voltage outside the range of the appropriate voltage is applied, the remaining battery level indicator lamp blinks (Transition to S20) ). If the voltage is within the appropriate voltage range, go to S03. When the power supply voltage is much lower than the assumed abnormally low voltage, the repelling device 15 itself does not operate.

  Next, as an approach confirmation (S03), when the beast approaches the repelling device 15, the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 blinks even if the surroundings are bright. The approach of the beast is detected by the infrared sensor 3. If there is no response from the infrared sensor 3, the process proceeds to the next step (S04). If there is a reaction, the process proceeds to S07 in order to cause the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 to blink.

  As day / night confirmation (infrared measurement) (S04), ambient brightness is measured. If it is bright (daytime judgment), repeat the brightness measurement. If it is dark (night judgment), go to the next step (S05). Since the repelling device 15 is assumed to be used outdoors, the brightness standard is measuring infrared rays contained in sunlight (infrared reaction type phototransistor 2 is used, and the cost can be reduced). ing).

  Next, it waits for 5 seconds as a reconfirmation waiting (S05). When an object crosses near the repelling device 15 at the time of day and night confirmation and a shadow is inserted in the infrared sensor 3, it may be judged at night even in daytime. In order to avoid such a situation, it is determined that the night is actually reached only when the night judgment is made in both S04 and S06. Wait for 5 seconds to wait for the object to pass.

  Next, as a reconfirmation of day and night (infrared measurement), ambient brightness is measured again (S06). In the case of daytime determination, the measurement result in S04 is irregular (something crosses the repelling device 15 or the like), and the process returns to S05 again. In the case of night judgment, go to the next step S07. In addition, brightness determination as to whether or not to switch from night operation to daytime operation is also performed in this step.

  Next, as power supply voltage measurement 2 (S07), if the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 is blinked, battery consumption is accelerated, so the power supply voltage is measured in advance. If the battery is depleted and the voltage has fallen out of the range of the appropriate voltage (4.2 V or less), the remaining battery indicator lamp is blinked (to S16). If it is within the proper voltage range, the process proceeds to the next step (S08).

  Next, the high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-a, c, e (odd pairs) are turned on (S08), and waiting for 10 milliseconds (S09). The high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-a, c, e (odd numbers) The set) is turned off (S10). Furthermore, it waits for 10 to 2550 milliseconds (S11). The standby time is determined in steps of 10 milliseconds by calculation of the electronic control element 5. Instead of being completely random, a calculated pseudo-random is measured.

  Next, the high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-b, d, and f (even pairs) are turned on (S12). Similarly, the high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1-b, d, f (even number group) is turned off (S14). Furthermore, it waits for 10 to 2550 milliseconds (S15).

  Next, the process proceeds to S06. That is, if the power supply voltage is within an appropriate range at night, reconfirmation of day and night (S06), power supply voltage measurement 2 (S07), LED odd group blinking (S08 to S11), LED even group blinking (S12 to S15), day and night Repeat reconfirmation (S06).

  In step S16, the battery level indicator lamp is turned on. If the measurement result of the power supply voltage measurement 1 and the power supply voltage measurement 2 is outside the proper range, the process proceeds to this step. If this step is entered, the process does not return from step S01 to step S15. In order to indicate to the outside that the power supply voltage is abnormal, the battery level indicator lamp 4 is turned on.

  Thereafter, the battery is waited for 10 milliseconds (S17), the battery remaining amount indicator lamp 4 is turned off, and is waited for 1000 milliseconds (S19), and the battery voltage measurement circuit 16 performs the power supply voltage measurement 3. Even if the battery level indicator lamp 4 is blinked, the battery is consumed. When the battery is exhausted and the power supply voltage is further lowered (4 V or less), the process proceeds to the next step (S21). In the case of 4V or more, the process proceeds to S16, and the battery remaining amount indicator lamp 4 is kept blinking.

  When the power supply voltage falls below 4V and the used rechargeable battery approaches the deep discharge state, the process proceeds to step S21. If the rechargeable dry battery 9 is a rechargeable battery such as a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery, for example, if it is discharged too much, various troubles occur, so that power consumption is suppressed as much as possible. The electronic control element 5 is operated with low power consumption. All the high-intensity white light-emitting diodes 1 are turned off and no day / night determination is performed. The power supply voltage is not measured. When entering this step, there is no transition to other steps.

  If a new battery is inserted after removing the battery, the process restarts from S01.

  In this way, the repelling device 15 is characterized in that it can be installed at a cost that suppresses the burden as much as possible and that the maintenance burden can be reduced. The high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 is placed on the printed circuit board from any direction of 360 °. It arrange | positions so that light emission can be confirmed, and it can be made not to choose the topography at the time of installing the repelling device 15. In particular, since the brightness of the high-intensity white light-emitting diode 1 is high, invasion of nocturnal animals is prevented. The power source uses a rechargeable dry battery 9 that can be repeatedly charged. When the evening darkness is detected by the phototransistor 1, the light emitting diode starts to blink automatically, and the brightness of the morning light is detected and stopped. When the battery capacity is 2000 mAh, it is assumed that the battery will flash for 12 hours in winter, and there is a battery capacity of 2 weeks. When the battery level is low, the battery level indicator 4 flashes to facilitate management and management. This is intended to reduce the cost burden.

  The present invention verifies the effects of products with similar functions that have been put on the market until now, and considered a study on the ecology of moths as an effective method based on the results of surveys with specific organizations. . When investigating the wild behavior by infrared photography of the pattern at the time of appearing at night on the actual farm, the brightness is not enough if it is the brightness of the bullet type light emitting diode method with the same function that has been released until now For this reason, there are cases where people gather and destroy themselves with interest. When verifying the ecology of moths, parents often bring their children when they appear, and if a child enters the fence, the parent should enter even if it is a fence. Therefore, it seems that the damage of the installation cost and the damage of the crops when entering is serious.

  In response to such a problem, the present invention emits strong light in all directions, thereby giving a sense of vigilance to a nocturnal animal and being able to suppress entry into a field or the like, and It is possible to provide an animal repelling device that can be configured at low cost and can be easily installed by the hanging bracket 7 or the like and is not affected by rain due to the sealed type. .
