Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect experiential learning system,

The present invention relates to an insect experiential learning system and a control method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an insect experience learning system that maintains an illuminance of 6 lux (lx) or less in consideration of an ecological environment of a nocturnal longevity beetle, To an illuminance of 30 lux (lx) in front of the moving direction of the viewer so as to easily observe the insect, and to supply insect food.

Insects are used in many fields such as food, clothing, learning pets, flower pots, nemesis, feed or medicine, and local events. The market size is expected to grow from KRW157 billion in 2009 to KRW300 billion by 2015, and the size and type of the market is rapidly increasing.

More specifically, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (2010) announced the vision 2020 to nurture the insect industry into a 700 billion won industry by 2020, and recently, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (2010) And the RDA (2015) predicted that the insect industry could serve as a new source of income for the sixth industrialization.

When understanding and learning about these insects, experiential learning that can touch and feel insects is effective. For example, the Hampyeong World Butterfly Insect Expo, which was held for the first time in 1999 with the theme of insects, paid an eco-tourism specimen exhibition hall for a fee, and created amphibian reptile learning grounds, tidal flat study grounds, silkworm experimental grounds, And provided them to the Nature Experience Learning Center. In the rice paddy field, it has successfully established itself as an experiential learning center for tourists by creating almost everything about eco - friendly agriculture and ecology such as environmental farming experience field and traditional farming experience field. As a result, the interests of domestic and foreign environmental conservation groups and related organizations, as well as various people who are interested in ecology, have increased their interest and have become the world's largest butterfly insect expo.

In addition, insect breeding farms and pet learning insect areas are among the most active areas in the insect industry, and the market is gradually expanding into the experiential learning study field utilizing such insect industry resources. This is because insect experience learning programs using insects are very effective and effective in improving student learning achievement, while emphasizing on-site experiential learning actually experienced and experienced with school education recently.

As the insect industry is being activated around the world, researches on the use of insects for environmental indicators related to environmental agriculture in Europe and the United States are being carried out. In Japan, The overall insect industry is, of course, being activated.

In Korea, however, not only marketing activities for increasing insect utilization but also learning and experience opportunities for insect experience participants are limited in some areas, and the development and operation of various linked commodity programs are not developed. Is still in its early stages.

Therefore, there is a need to solve the above-mentioned problems and to activate an industry using an insect (hereinafter referred to as an insect industry). One of the most suitable insects has been attracting attention as a long-life beetle. Allomyrina dichotoma is an insect belonging to the beetle, and its medicinal value has been recognized recently because it is known that there is a substance having an excellent effect on the liver treatment of the larva. In addition, the long beetle has black or reddish brown color, males have horns on their heads, and their ends are split, and they are attracted to pet insects enough to create a separate market. Therefore, the longevity beetle is one of the most suitable insects for insect experience.

However, when the ecology environment is not suitable for the display of the beetle, the life span is reduced or it is not flying, and the exhibition effect is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to control and maintain the optimal ecological environment so that an effective longevity beetle can be exhibited. However, there is a problem that display technology that can control and maintain optimal ecological environment condition of longevity beetle has not existed so far.

That is, when the valve 410 is opened according to a command from the controller 700, the insect food in the first tank 420 is discharged and supplied into the food dish 300. In addition, when the valve 410 is closed according to a command from the controller 700, the discharge of insect food in the first tank 420 is blocked. Accordingly, it is possible to automatically feed the insect food, attract the beetle, and observe the ecology of the attracted beetle.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the feeding device 400 and the feeding plate 300 may be integrally formed. More specifically, the food supply device 400 includes a second tank 440 formed integrally below the food dish 300 for storing the food for insects, and a second tank 440 disposed below the food dish 300 And a pump 430 for feeding the insect food stored in the second tank 440 into the food dish 300 through the through hole formed therein.

When the operation of the pump 430 is stopped in response to a command from the controller 700, insect food in the second tank 440 is no longer supplied to the food dish 300. Accordingly, it is possible to automatically feed the insect food, attract the beetle, and observe the ecology of the attracted beetle.

A plurality of lighting apparatuses 500 are disposed along the viewer passageway 100, and the lux can be adjusted. In particular, the illuminator 500 can adjust the illuminance from a predetermined first illuminance to a predetermined second illuminance.

At this time, the first illuminance is the maximum illuminance which does not affect the ecology of the nocturnal long beetle, and may be 6 lux (lx). The second illuminance may be 30 lux (lx), which is the minimum illuminance at which the spectator can observe the longevity beetle while recognizing the spectator passway 100.

The sensor 600 is mounted on the floor of the passenger traveling passage 100 to detect the position of a visitor, and may be a plurality of sensors. At this time, the sensor 600 may be a pressure sensor, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a sensor capable of sensing the position of a visitor may suffice.

The acoustic device 800 is mounted on the column 200 and serves to reproduce the pre-stored sound. The plurality of acoustic devices 800 may be mounted on each of the pillars 200. That is, the sound device 800 plays the role of reproducing the pre-stored sound according to the operation signal of the control device 700.

At this time, the pre-stored sound may be a courtyard sound of a long beetle, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a sound capable of attracting a long beetle is sufficient. More specifically, the acoustic device 800 generates a sound that attracts longevity beetles so that visitors can more easily observe the ecology of the longevity beetle.

The pheromone injector 900 is mounted on the column 200 and injects a pheromone stored therein into the column 200. The plurality of pheromone injectors 900 may be installed for each of the pillars 200. That is, the pheromone injector 900 injects the pheromone to the column 200 by an operation signal of the controller 700.

At this time, the pheromone may be a courting pheromone of a long-life beetle, but is not limited thereto, and a substance that emits a fragrance capable of attracting a long-life beet can suffice. More specifically, the pheromone injector 900 injects a fragrance attracting longevity beetles, thereby allowing viewers to more easily observe the ecology of the longevity beetle.

The pheromone injector 900 includes a pheromone tank 910 in which the pheromone is stored, a pheromone pump 920 for pressurizing the pheromone stored in the pheromone tank 910, and a pheromone pressurized in the pheromone pump 920, (Not shown).

The control device 700 receives the position of the visitor from the sensor 600 and receives the position of the food supply device 400, the lighting device 500, the acoustic device 800, and the pheromone injection device 900 And the like.

5 is a flowchart of a method of controlling a visit to an insect experiential learning system according to the present invention. 5, the tour control method of the insect experiential learning system according to the present invention includes: a step S100 of the sensor 600 repeatedly detecting the position of a visitor; (S200) of estimating the moving direction of the viewer from the position of the viewer repeatedly sensed by the sensor (600); And a step S300 of raising the illuminance of the illumination device 500, which is located at a predetermined distance from the viewer's position by a predetermined distance in the moving direction of the viewer, to a predetermined second illuminance.

That is, by repeatedly detecting the position of the visitor at a predetermined cycle, if the visitor moves, the direction of the previous movement of the visitor can be grasped, and the direction in which the visitor is expected to move can be estimated based on the direction. (Steps S100 and S200)

If the moving direction of the viewer is estimated as described above, the illuminance of the illumination device 500 is increased so that the viewer can more easily observe the long-bean beetle (step S300). At this time, the predetermined first distance may be 5m, but it is not limited to this, but it is sufficient if it is the distance to the point where the line of sight of the visitor is directed in consideration of the moving speed of the viewer.

As described above, the predetermined second roughness may be 30 lux (lx) as a minimum roughness allowing the viewer to observe the longevity beetle while recognizing the viewer's passage 100. Accordingly, it is possible for the visitor to observe the long beetle easily while minimizing the influence on the ecology of the nocturnal long beetle.

Particularly, when the illuminance is raised to the second illuminance instantaneously, it stimulates the characteristic of light beetle (phototaxis, the nocturnal insects are attracted to the light), which is one of the characteristics of the beetle, .

In addition, the viewing control method of the insect experiential learning system may further include a step of setting the illuminance of the illuminating device 500 located behind the viewer by a predetermined second distance in the moving direction of the viewer from the position of the viewer after the height is increased (S300) (S400) lowering the first illuminance to the first illuminance.

If the nocturnal longevity beet is continuously exposed to light, there is a risk of disturbing the ecology of longevity beetle, such as longevity beet life or longevity. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the illuminance of the illuminating device 500 is lowered to the predetermined first illuminance again at the point where the viewer passes.

At this time, the predetermined second distance may be 5m, but it is not limited to this, but may be set differently according to the designer's intention as a distance for securing the safety of the visitor. As described above, the predetermined first roughness may be 6 lux (lx), which is the maximum roughness that does not affect the ecology of the nocturnal long beetle.

The insect experience learning system according to the present invention controls the feeding device 400 located at a predetermined distance from the viewer's position by a predetermined distance in the moving direction of the visitor, And feeding the insect food (S500).

That is, when the moving direction of the visitor is estimated as described above, the insect-eating beetle is attracted to the longevity beetle so that the viewer can easily observe the longevity beetle. At this time, the step S500 may be performed simultaneously with the step S300, or may be performed sequentially. The predetermined first distance may be 5 m, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The distance to the point of sight of the visitor may be sufficient in consideration of the moving speed of the viewer.

Hereinafter, step S500 will be described in more detail.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the valve 420 is opened in step S500 to induce the insect food (insect jelly) in the first tank 410 to flow downward by gravity. Accordingly, the outflowed insect food is supplied into the food dish 300 located at the lower part of the food supply device 400. Therefore, the longevity beet collects around the food dish 300 to eat the insect food, and visitors can easily observe the longevity beet.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the pump 440 is operated in step S500 to suck insect food (insect jelly) inside the second tank 440 into the food dish 300. Accordingly, the long-life beetle collects around the food dish 300 to eat the insect food, and the visitor can more easily observe the long-beetle beetle. At this time, in the second embodiment, the feeding plate 300 and the feeding device 400 are integrally formed to facilitate the management of the components.

The method for controlling the viewing of the insect experiential learning system according to the present invention includes the steps of controlling the acoustic device 800 located forward by a predetermined distance from the viewer's position in the moving direction of the viewer, (S600).

That is, when the moving direction of the viewer is estimated as described above, the long-lived beetle is attracted by using the pre-stored sound such as the longevity sound of the longevity beet so that the viewer can easily observe the longevity beet. In this case, the step S600 may be performed simultaneously with the steps S300 and S500, and may be performed sequentially. The predetermined first distance may be 5 m, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The distance to the point of sight of the visitor may be sufficient in consideration of the moving speed of the viewer.

The insect experience learning system according to the present invention controls the pheromone injection device 900 positioned at a predetermined distance from the position of the visitor by a predetermined distance in the moving direction of the visitor, And injecting pheromone (S700).

The pheromone pump 920 is operated to transmit the pheromone stored in the pheromone tank 910 to the pheromone nozzle 930. In step S700, (Not shown).

That is, when the moving direction of the visitor is estimated as described above, the visitor is attracted to the longevity beet using pheromone or the like for longevity beetle so that the visitor can easily observe the longevity beetle. In this case, the step S700 may be performed simultaneously with the steps S300, S500, and S600, and may be performed sequentially. The predetermined first distance may be 5 m, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The distance to the point of sight of the visitor may be sufficient in consideration of the moving speed of the viewer.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed, and will be fully understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. The present invention is not limited thereto.
