Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a self-luminous device for preventing invasion of small animals such as stray cats, which is installed in order to prevent the animals from intruding into a residence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When small animals such as stray cats enter a dwelling site, the site is sometimes disturbed or dislodged droppings and the like cause discomfort, and beast harm that is unfavorable for environmental hygiene occurs. In particular, in residential areas, stray cats frequently cause beast damage, and various measures have been taken. As an example of the countermeasure, a method of installing a plastic bottle filled with water along an area where stray cats are prevented from entering has been widely adopted.

[0003]

It is not clear to the applicant why this water-filled plastic bottle can prevent the invasion of stray cats, but it is likely that the plastic bottle will be reflected when illuminated by sunlight. To shine brightly
It is thought that this shine gives the stray cat fear and makes it difficult to approach. However, the prevention of intrusion by such a plastic bottle is doubtful to the extent that it is effective, and the installation of a plastic bottle filled with water is not preferable in view of the scenery. Even if it is effective, it will not be used at all because it is not illuminated by sunlight at night, and it can only prevent intrusion from the direction shined by sunlight even during the daytime. Intrusion from the direction cannot be prevented.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a small animal intrusion prevention self-luminous device capable of effectively preventing small animals from invading in many directions not only during the daytime but also at night. It is assumed that.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following arrangement. That is, the self-luminous device for preventing invasion of small animals according to the present invention includes a power supply device, a reflector having a conical reflective surface, and a vertical line passing through the vertex of the reflective surface. And a control unit for supplying power from the power supply to the light emitting diode and causing the light emitting diode to blink and emit light, and the blinking light of the light emitting diode is reflected by the cone-shaped reflecting surface of the reflector. And diffused radiation to the outside.

According to the present invention, the power from the power supply device is controlled by the control unit and supplied to the light emitting diode, and the light emitting diode blinks and emits light. The blinking light of the light-emitting diode that flickers and emits radially toward the conical reflecting surface of the reflector. The flickering light is reflected by the conical reflection surface, and is uniformly diffused and emitted to the outside in multiple directions. By causing the flickering light of the light emitting diode to be visually recognized by the small animal, fear is given and the invasion of the small animal can be prevented.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the blinking light of the light emitting diode is diffused and emitted uniformly in multiple directions, it is possible to effectively and uniformly prevent small animals from invading from multiple directions.
Further, since the blinking light is emitted using the power supply device, invasion of small animals can be prevented not only during the day but also at night.

Further, by arranging the light emitting diodes toward the apex of the conical reflecting surface, it is possible to diffuse and radiate light in multiple directions by using at least one light emitting diode. The whole device can be made compact. In addition, by using the light emitting diode, the power consumption of the power supply device can be suppressed, and there is no fear of breaking off of a lamp or the like, the device can be used for a long time, and almost no maintenance is required.
