Description

HARMFUL INSECT COLLECTOR

The present invention relates to a pest trap capable of environmentally friendly capturing and exterminating pests such as flies.

In general, the reason flies, a type of insect, are considered important as sanitary pests to humans is because, firstly, they are vectors and carriers of pathogens, secondly, they suck blood, thirdly, they cause dermatitis, and fourthly, they cause psychological damage due to discomfort. In particular, the species of flies that are friendly to humans, namely houseflies, live in houses almost like people and spread pathogens such as typhoid fever, cholera, amoebic dysentery, and bacterial dysentery by getting them on their body hair and feet, and they also have the habit of vomiting up what they eat with pathogens, so they directly spread pathogens. In addition, in the case of livestock flies, they all come from livestock manure and suck blood, so they can cause great damage by transmitting diseases such as dermatitis to livestock, or they can transmit bacterial diseases to crops, and they can also cause damage by attaching aphids to their bodies or legs and spreading them to crops.

Chemical methods have been mainly used to eliminate these types of flies. For example, pesticides that kill flies and other pests have been sprayed using a fogger. However, these pesticides have the problem of causing another cause of environmental pollution.

In addition, there is a method of killing insects using high-voltage current. Since insects such as flies have phototaxis, there is a method of killing flies by attracting them with a lure and then killing them with a high-voltage current. In this case, not only is the power consumption excessive, but the insect remains during the killing process also cause another problem.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and provides an insect trap for capturing and exterminating insects such as flies.

In order to solve the above-described problem, an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a body having a circular plate, a trap hole formed in the center of the circular plate, and a plurality of blades formed in a spiral direction from the trap hole on the circular plate, a trap hole formed in the center of the circular plate and a motor attached to a lower surface, the blades being composed of a plurality of sub-blades arranged in a parallel manner at a predetermined interval in an arcuate direction; a trap portion having a corresponding structure to the blades of the body and having a protrusion corresponding to the blades on the lower surface, the trap portion guiding the insect guided on the circular plate into the trap hole while performing a central axis rotational movement with respect to the body by the motor; and a trapping tube communicating with the trap hole to capture the insect.

Here, the protrusion may have an elastic brush shape that passes through the gap according to the rotation of the trap portion.

Here, the sub-blade has an inverted triangular cross-section with respect to the rotational direction of the trap portion, thereby facilitating passage through the gap of the protrusion portion.

Here, the main body may further include an insect-inducing light source installed between the blades of the circular plate.

Here, the insect trap may further include an insect-inducing air freshener installed in the trap.

Here, the insect-inducing air freshener may include ammonia and lactic acid.

Here, the insect-inducing air freshener may include an insect pheromone scent.

Here, the motor may be a coaxial motor arranged parallel to the central axis of the trap section.

Here, a fan may be further included that is installed in the trap to allow the scent of the insect-inducing air freshener to escape to the outside through the trap hole.

Here, an insecticidal foam containing an insecticide is installed inside the collecting container, and the insecticidal foam may have a structure that bursts by a trigger installed on the outside of the collecting container.

According to the present invention, insects such as flies are captured and exterminated, so it can contribute to improving the environment of livestock farms in an environmentally friendly manner at low cost.

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing a brush-shaped protrusion, flies can be prevented from getting caught in the blade and dying, thereby increasing the durability and reliability of the product.

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the pest capture effect can be maximized by using a chemical attractant to cause more pests to gather toward the trap.

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In addition, in order to clearly describe the present invention in the drawings, parts that are not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are assigned similar drawing reference numerals throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, whenever a part is said to "include" a component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but rather that it may include other components, unless otherwise stated.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a main body (10) of an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a plan view of a trap section (20) of an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram of a trap container (30) of an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, an insect trap according to one embodiment of the present invention is largely composed of a main body (10), a trap section (20), and a trapping container (30).

The main body (10) is a component that is equipped with a motor (not shown) to slowly rotate the trap section (20) described later and guide target insects such as flies into a trap hole (30) formed in the center. As shown, the main body (10) may be provided with a circular plate (11) having a central portion and a peripheral portion surrounding the central portion, a trap hole (13) formed in the central portion, a plurality of blades (15) formed in a spiral direction from the trap hole (13) in the peripheral portion, and a motor attached to the trap hole (13) formed in the central portion and the lower surface.

The blade (15) is composed of a plurality of sub-blades (151). The sub-blades (15) have a cross-section of an inverted triangle with respect to the rotational direction of the trap section (20). Accordingly, the gap between the sub-blades (151) as an entrance through which the protrusions (21) enter is narrow, while the gap between the sub-blades (151) as an exit through which the protrusions (21) exit is wide. Since the gap between the sub-blades (151) is narrow, the problem of insects getting caught between the sub-blades (15) can be prevented in advance. In addition, since the gap at the exit is wide, the protrusions (21) can come out very easily. In addition, even if some of the corpses are generated, the protrusions (21) act as a brush to remove the corpses between the sub-blades (151).

Here, the motor may be a coaxial motor that is arranged parallel to the central axis of the trap section (20). Since the rotational power of the motor is directly received by the trap section (20), the driving force becomes stronger, thereby reducing the risk of failure due to insect corpses.

The trap hole (13) can be configured to be formed between the partition walls that are divided at equal angles in the central portion. As the trap section (20) described below rotates, insects sitting on the peripheral portion are naturally attracted to the trap hole (13).

In the above peripheral portion, a plurality of blades (15) are arranged in a spiral shape. As shown in Fig. 1, five spiral blades (15) are formed in an equal angle and parallel, and each spiral blade (15) includes a plurality of blades (15) arranged in a parallel manner at a predetermined interval in an arc direction. By the spiral blades (15) and the protrusions (21) of the trap portion (20) having a shape corresponding to the blades (15), a target insect sitting in the peripheral portion is naturally caught in a closed space. Then, as the trap portion (20) rotates, the space defined by the spiral blades (15) and the reverse spiral protrusions (21) gradually narrows. Accordingly, the target insect is lured into the trap hole (13).

An insect-inducing light source (40) is further installed between each blade (15) on the circular flat plate (11). The insect-inducing light source (40) is composed of white and blue LEDs and emits light. Accordingly, photophilous insects are guided onto the circular flat plate (11), thereby improving the insect-catching function.

The trap portion (20) may have a cover facing the circular flat plate (11). The cover may be arranged substantially parallel to the circular flat plate (11). The cover may have a first portion corresponding to the central portion and covering the trap hole (13), and a second portion corresponding only to a portion of an angular section of the peripheral portion along the circumferential direction of the peripheral portion. It is a component that is rotatably connected to the main body (10). A protrusion (21) (brush portion) corresponding to the spiral blade (15) may be formed on the second portion. The protrusion (21) may be formed in a counter-spiral direction. Accordingly, as the trap portion (20) rotates, the spiral blade (15) and the counter-spiral protrusion (21) create an elliptical capture space, and as the rotation continues, the capture space gradually narrows toward the center. Accordingly, an insect that becomes a capture target is lured into the trap hole (13). A fastening groove (23) is formed in the central portion (the first portion) of the trap section (20) and is connected to a motor. As the fastening groove (23) that forms an asymmetrical circle is combined with the shaft of the motor having a corresponding structure, the trap section (20) is rotated by the motor.

The protrusion (21) is configured to be connected to the motor of the main body (10) described above. As described above, the protrusion (21) functions as a brush. That is, as the trap (20) rotates, the protrusion (21) creates an elliptical capturing space together with the spiral blade (15).

A trapping tube (30) is attached to the lower part of the main body (10). The trapping tube (30) is detachably connected to the main body (10) and is formed in an overall cylindrical shape. It is made of a transparent material so that the captured insects can be confirmed from the outside.

As shown in Fig. 5, an insect-inducing air freshener (50), an insecticidal solution, and a fan (60) may be installed in the trap (30). The insect-inducing air freshener (50) may be an insect sex pheromone air freshener or may include ammonia and lactic acid. It is for attracting insects attracted to the trap hole (13) to the trap (30). The insect-inducing air freshener (50) is diffused by the fan (60), and accordingly, insects guided to the trap hole (13) are attracted to the trap (30) by the attracting air freshener (50) and are caught in the trap (30).

Meanwhile, an insecticidal liquid foam is further installed in the trap (30). The target insects caught in the trap (30) are alive. These target insects must be killed, and the insecticidal liquid foam plays that role. A trigger is installed on the outside of the trap (30), and when the user presses the trigger, the insecticidal liquid inside the trap sprays into the inside of the trap (30). As a result, the captured insects die.

The pest trap described above is not limited to the configuration of the embodiments described above, but the embodiments may be configured by selectively combining all or part of the embodiments so that various modifications can be made.
