A firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first valve 2, a nozzle 3, an ignition unit 5, and a feeder unit 6.

The first valve 2 may be opened or closed according to a control signal.

When the first valve 2 is opened, the high-pressure fuel can move to the outside. The high-pressure fuel may be supplied from the fuel tank 1 through the fuel pipe 11.

The fuel tank 1 may be filled with fuel and may be filled with nitrogen gas. That is, when the first valve 2 is opened, a high pressure is formed in the fuel and can be injected as high pressure fuel.

The nozzle 3 may be connected to one side of the first valve 2. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3 are physically combined together, but a pipe is connected between the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3 to connect the first valve ( The distance between 2) and the nozzle 3 can be reduced.

By disposing the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3 away from each other, each component can be more flexibly disposed when manufacturing the firefly special effect device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The ignition unit 5 is disposed on one side of the nozzle 3 and may implement a high temperature environment so that fuel is ignited. The ignition unit 5 may be composed of an ignition solenoid and an ignescent coil, and this configuration is a known configuration as shown in the prior art documents, and thus a more detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The feeder unit 6 may supply metal powder toward the nozzle 3.

The metal powder provides a plurality of metals in the form of small particles or powders, and when exposed to a high temperature environment, light may be emitted and oxidized.

In addition, since the metal powder is different from the ignition temperature of the fuel, the burning time may be different, and since the ignition temperature is different for each metal component of the metal powder, the oxidation time may be different for each metal powder.

The metal powder may be heated by the ignition unit 5, but it may be exposed to a high-temperature environment formed while the fuel is first burned and oxidized later to emit light, and such lights may appear as if a firefly insect forms light. .

That is, in the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the first valve 2 is opened, high-pressure fuel can be injected into the air through the nozzle 3.

When the high-pressure fuel is injected into the air, the metal powder may be mixed with the high-pressure fuel to be injected together, and the high-pressure fuel is heated by the ignition unit 5 to burn in the air, and the metal powder is the ignition unit In addition to being heated to (5), it is oxidized to a high-temperature environment that is formed when the fuel is burned, thereby emitting light.

As described above, the firefly special effect device according to the embodiment of the present invention burns fuel to form a flame, and from the point when the flame is formed, while the flame disappears, the metal powder sparkles as if the firefly insects fly and sparkle. It is possible to create a firefly light by burning it, thereby realizing a new type of special effect that was not seen in conventionally known special effects.

The feeder unit 6 may include a box 61, a screw unit 62, a motor 63, and a material line 64.

The box 61 may be filled with metal powder.

The screw unit 62 may be disposed under the box 61 and may be formed in a spiral shape. When the screw unit 62 rotates, the metal powder may move along the spiral of the screw unit 62.

The motor 63 may be disposed on one side of the box 61 and may operate the screw unit 62.

The material line 64 is connected from the box 61 to the nozzle 3 so that the metal powder may be moved.

That is, when the motor 63 is operated, the screw unit 62 rotates, and as the screw unit 62 rotates, the metal powder moves, and the metal powder moves toward the nozzle 3 along the material line 64. Can be transferred.

Meanwhile, a side hole 4 may be formed at the side of the nozzle 3, and the material line 64 may be connected to the side hole 4.

As a result, the metal powder may be moved toward the outlet of the material line 64 to wait, and when the high-pressure fuel is injected, the pressure at the outlet side of the material line 64 is lowered to absorb the metal powder.

That is, when the high-pressure fuel is injected from the nozzle 3, the metal powder may be naturally mixed with the high-pressure fuel, and the metal powder may be injected together in the direction in which the high-pressure fuel is injected.

On the other hand, the second valve 64 may be disposed in the material line 64, and when the second valve 64 is opened, external air may be introduced into the material line 64.

That is, by adjusting the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64, the amount of external air inflow can be controlled.

When the second valve 64 is set to the closed side, the inflow amount of external air decreases. Conversely, when the second valve 64 is set toward the open side, the inflow amount of external air may increase.

The amount of external air inflow can be inversely proportional to the amount of metal powder mixed with the high-pressure fuel, and more specifically, less metal powder is mixed as the amount of external air is increased, and more metal powder is mixed as the amount of external air is reduced. Can be.

As the amount of metal powder increases, the effect of shining light can be produced more and more colorfully, and the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 can be adjusted according to the intention of the director.

On the other hand, the second valve 64 may be manual or automatic. When the second valve 64 is manually configured, the director can determine the size of the firefly light and set it in advance. In addition, the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 may be modified at any time according to the intention of the director.

On the other hand, if the second valve 64 is automatically configured, the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 can be remotely controlled, and the degree of opening and closing can be corrected in real time. In particular, the second valve 64 may be automatically controlled in accordance with the rhythm and beat of music, or the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 may be modified according to a preset programmed sequence.

Thereby, the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention can contribute to directing the firefly light to a more dramatic atmosphere with a higher degree of completion.

Another example of the nozzle configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a view for explaining a firefly special effect device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the firefly special effect device according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the material line 64 may be disposed at a position away from the nozzle 3.

That is, the end portion of the material line 64 may be disposed above the nozzle 3 to spray the metal powder from above the nozzle 3.

This makes it possible to inject metal powder into the air more reliably when high-pressure fuel is injected into the air, and to inject the metal powder to a higher and wider range, thereby increasing the scale of firefly lights and making them more colorful. Can be implemented.

In addition, the first valve 2 and the motor 63 may be controlled to operate according to the same control signal. As a result, the metal powder can be dropped above the nozzle 3 at the time of injecting the high-pressure fuel, and the metal powder can be prevented from being used by falling to the periphery of the nozzle 3.

Meanwhile, a third valve 7 may be disposed between the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3. The third valve 7 may prevent the high-pressure fuel from moving to the nozzle 3 to prevent an accident.

For example, if the high-pressure fuel cannot be normally injected or burned for an unknown reason, the third valve 7 may be closed when it is determined that the flame is not normal by detecting whether the flame has normally occurred. This can prevent the high-pressure fuel from leaking into the air without permission, and prevent fire accidents.
