The present invention relates to a pest trapping device, and more particularly, to a pest trapping device capable of attracting pests more effectively by improving the illuminance of light irradiated from a attracting lamp.

Generally, pests refer to insects or animals that harm humans and domestic animals. Common types of pests found in confined spaces such as homes and offices include rats, cockroaches, dusters, ants, ticks, centipedes, and mosquitoes. These pests devour food and fabrics, causing considerable damage to people's lives. The feces also carry pathogens that are harmful to the body. In recent years, as these pests increase as the environment becomes more polluted, eliminating pests has become a big problem. Therefore, ordinary homes, companies or communities try to eliminate pests in various ways.

Among these pests, in order to remove flying pests such as flies, mosquitoes, moths, a device for capturing pests by attracting the pests with light and electrically attracting the attracted pests or by adhering to the sticky ones is widely used. Such pest trapping devices are particularly referred to by the term "reposer" or "insect".

With reference to Figures 1 to 2, an example of a conventional general pest capture device for removing fly pests as follows.

Conventional pest trapping device 10, the attracting lamp 13 is provided in the main body housing 11 to attract pests, the lower portion of the main housing 11 is provided with a string 15 is attracted by the attracting lamp 13 Attracted pests are configured to be caught. A plurality of inlets 12 are formed in the front upper portion of the body housing 11 through which pests are introduced into the body housing 11. In addition, a lower portion of the main housing 11 is provided with a control panel 17 for controlling the overall operation of the pest trapping device 10 such as the operation of the attraction lamp.

The pest trapping device may be placed on the floor or mounted on the wall W of the building as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

At this time, the attraction lamp 13 for attracting the pest is made of glass pesticides used in the interior, using the characteristics of the insect pests like the ultraviolet wavelength band of 340 ~ 380 nm wavelength range, so that the ultraviolet rays can be better transmitted It is common to manufacture by improving the case. Therefore, the general fluorescent lamp and the manufacturing method and the material is almost the same, and the electrical characteristics are similar, so the general lighting ballast having the same tube voltage and output is used as the lighting device.

However, the conventional pest trap device 10 having the above configuration has the following problems.

First, the attraction lamp 13 irradiates light not only to the front but also to the rear, and the inner surface of the main body 11 is located behind the attraction lamp 13. The light irradiated to the rear from the attraction lamp 13 is absorbed or scattered on the inner surface of the main housing 11, and as a result, all of the light emitted from the attraction lamp 13 is not used to attract pests. To compensate for this, even if a reflecting plate reflecting light is disposed behind or to the side of the attraction lamp 13, since the light travels in a constant direction after the reflection, only when the pests pass an area adjacent to the path of light propagation. Sensing light is attracted to the pest trap, but otherwise pests are difficult to attract.

Second, generally, the sticky 15 is located below the attraction lamp 13, but in order to actually capture the pests, the pests must be attracted around the sticky 15, but the pests are attracted more brightly. There is a problem of flying out of the road while flying around the lamp 13.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the object of the present invention is to reflect the part of the light for attracting the pest to the light to proceed in all directions in front of the device to further improve the attraction rate of the pest To provide a pest trap device that can be.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a pest trapping device capable of improving the brightness of the light traveling toward the front of the device through diffuse reflection.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a pest trapping apparatus which can maintain a brighter inside of a main body housing provided with a trapping portion, thereby increasing the attraction rate and catch rate of the pest.

In order to achieve the above object, the pest trapping apparatus of the present invention includes a main body housing, an attracting part, a trapping part and a reflecting part.

The main body housing constitutes an appearance of the device, and an entrance through which a pest enters and exits may be formed at one side. Here, the doorway may be formed of at least one.

The attracting part may be provided inside the main body housing, and may radiate light attracting the pest to the outside. The attracting part may be configured to include a plurality of attracting lamps. The attraction lamp may use a fluorescent lamp, and in addition, a light emitting diode having excellent brightness and lifetime may be used. In addition, the attraction lamp is preferably irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region, which is a wavelength region effective for attracting pests.

The capture part may be provided inside the main body housing and may capture pests introduced into the main body housing by the attracting part. The capture portion may generally be located below the attractant, but the position thereof is not limited, and may be located in an optimal space for trapping pests.

The reflector may be provided at the rear of the attractant in the main body housing to reflect the light emitted from the attractant to the front, and at least a part of the reflector may have a rough surface for diffusely reflecting light.

On the other hand, the reflector may be formed in a variety of forms, for example, the reflector may be composed of a reflector formed in the form of a plate on the rear of the attracting portion. The reflector may include a plurality of reflecting plates corresponding to each of the plurality of attraction lamps.

As another example, the reflective part may include a reflective sheet in the form of a sheet, and the reflective surface may be formed on the reflective sheet. The reflective sheet may be attached to the inner surface of the body housing. The reflective part may further include a sheet support part which attaches and supports the reflective sheet to one side. Here, an adhesive material may be applied to one surface of the reflective sheet to attach to the sheet support.

On the other hand, the rough surface is a surface capable of diffusely reflecting light, it means a surface is formed irregularities.

However, in order to cause diffuse reflection, it is preferable to form the size of the unevenness larger than the wavelength of light irradiated from the attracting portion. Alternatively, a part of the unevenness may be larger than the wavelength of the light irradiated from the attracting part, and the rest may be formed smaller than the wavelength of the light irradiated from the attracting part so that specular reflection and diffuse reflection occur together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present embodiment, the same configuration and the same reference numerals are used for the same configuration and additional description thereof will be omitted.

First, referring to Figures 3 to 5, the basic configuration of the pest trapping apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing a pest trapping apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a reflecting portion of FIG. 3, FIG.

The pest capture device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a main body housing 110 in which an entrance 112 is largely formed, an attracting part 120 for attracting a pest, a catching part 130 for capturing a attracted pest, and the attracting part. It is configured to include a reflector 140 for reflecting light emitted from.

The main body housing 110 is formed in a box shape to form an outer surface of the device, and one side is formed with a plurality of entrances and exits 112, which are spaces into which pests are introduced. As shown in FIG. 3, a total of three entrances and exits 112 are formed on a front surface of the main body housing 110 at a predetermined interval.

The body housing 110 may be appropriately mounted at a target position to be captured, such as being placed on the floor or mounted on the wall W of the building as shown in FIG. 3.

The attracting part 120 is a component that attracts pests to the inside of the body housing 110 by irradiating light to the outside of the body housing 110. The attracting part 120 includes a plurality of attracting lamps 122, 124, and 126. The attracting lamps 122, 124, and 126 may be configured in various forms such as fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes (LEDs). .

Here, a light emitting diode (LED) can intensively irradiate light in a wavelength range preferred by a particular insect pest, and thus is more effective in pest attraction than a general lamp irradiating light in a wide range of wavelengths in one lamp. Has an advantage.

In addition, the light emitting diode has the advantage of relatively low power consumption due to its relatively high efficiency compared to other lamps. In addition, stability problems such as fluorescence caused by using fluorescent lamps as the attracting lamps 122, 124, and 126, environmental problems caused by mercury substances, danger of explosion, and fire risk due to heat generation, do not occur. Long service life reduces maintenance costs and eliminates the hassle of changing lamps. In addition, by applying a light emitting diode to the attraction lamps 122, 124, and 126, the device can be miniaturized.

On the other hand, the attraction lamps (122, 124, 126) is preferably irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region to attract the pest efficiently.

As the attracting lamps 122, 124, and 126, when a light emitting diode (LED) for irradiating light in an ultraviolet region is applied, the light to be irradiated has a high concentration at a specific wavelength. That is, light irradiated through the attraction lamps 122, 124, and 126 is concentrated in a predetermined wavelength range, and light of unnecessary wavelengths is not generated.

The capture unit 130 may be located under the attracting unit 120, and may capture pests attracted into the body housing 110 by light emitted from the attracting unit 120. In this embodiment, as an example of the capture unit 130, it is possible to use a sticky formed with an adhesive surface to capture pests on one surface.

That is, when applying the sticky to the capture unit 130, the supply roll 132 for supplying the sticky, recovery roll 134 for recovering the sticky supplied from the supply roll 132, The supply roll 132 and the recovery roll 134 may be configured to include a capture adhesive surface 136 formed between the supply roll 132 and the recovery roll 134 spaced apart at a predetermined interval.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the capture unit 130 is configured in a roll manner to continuously provide a sticky state, thereby winding a sticky amount used in a predetermined amount onto the recovery roll 134, and a new capture adhesive surface 136. The new sticky may be unwound from the supply roll 132 to supply the continually retaining ability.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the capture unit 130 is illustrated below the attracting part 120. However, the capture part 130 is disposed behind the attracting part 120. Etc. may be disposed at various positions within the body housing 110.

In addition, the capture unit 130 is not limited to the sticky form of the roll shape described above, it can be configured through a variety of capture means, such as an electric shock or drug injector by a high pressure current.

The reflector 140 may be located at the rear of the attracting part 120 and may reflect a part of the light irradiated backward from the attracting part 120 to the front. The reflector 140 is configured to include a reflector plate 142 having a rough surface 141 to reflect light from one surface but diffusely reflected.

The reflective plate 142 is formed corresponding to the attracting part 120, and a surface facing toward the attracting part 120 is formed as the rough surface 141. On the other hand, the plurality of reflector plate 142 is formed in the rear of the attraction lamps 122, 124, 126, respectively, can reflect the light forward.

The reflector 140 may further include a coupling part using a hook, a screw, or the like to attach or detach the reflector 142 to the inside of the main body housing 110.

As shown in FIG. 5, the rough surface 141 in the present embodiment is formed in an uneven shape. The light incident on the rough surface 141 is reflected, and there are two types of reflection modes. One is specular reflection, also called mirror reflection, and the other is diffuse reflection, also called diffuse reflection.

Here, the specular reflection means that the light entering the reflective surface is reflected at the reflection angle of the same angle as the incident angle. On the other hand, the diffuse reflection means that the reflecting surface is ruggedly formed so that the light incident on the reflecting surface is reflected at the angle of reflection different from the incident angle. In general, even if the reflection surface is smooth to the naked eye, from the microscopic point of view, it is formed as a bumpy surface, so that some diffuse reflection occurs.

It can be seen that the light irradiated from the attracting part 120 is reflected at a reflection angle θ ₂ of a different angle from the incident angle θ ₁ due to the unevenness of the rough surface 141 of the reflector 140.

Here, the condition in which the diffuse reflection occurs is when the wavelength of the incident light is smaller than the size of the bumpy irregularities.

In the present embodiment, the size of the concavities and convexities forming the rough surface 141 is larger than the wavelength of the light emitted from the attracting part 120. That is, when irradiating light in the ultraviolet region from the attracting part 120, the size of the unevenness is preferably formed to about 400nm or more.

Since the light is diffusely reflected from the rough surface 141, the light is spread evenly in all directions in the rough surface 141, so that the rough surface 141 is easily seen in any direction. This means that the radiation range of the light provided from the pest trapping apparatus 100 of the present invention is increased, and because the light can reach a blind spot where the light cannot reach, it will attract more pests. Can be.

Meanwhile, the irregularities formed on the rough surface 141 may be formed in various shapes. That is, the unevenness may be formed evenly on the entire surface of the rough surface 141, and may be locally formed in a specific region. For example, the irregularities may be formed in various strips, may be formed to one side, or may be locally formed at the rear of the attraction lamp.

6 and 7, the modification of the reflector will be described below. 6 is a perspective view showing a modification of FIG. 3, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another modification of FIG. 3.

The reflecting unit 160 of the pest trapping apparatus 100 according to the present modification may be configured using a reflective sheet 162 using a flexible material and having irregularities formed on one surface thereof.

One surface of the reflective sheet 162 is formed with a rough surface 161 which diffusely reflects light, and an adhesive material is coated on the opposite surface of the rough surface 161 to form the reflective sheet 162 of the body housing 110. Can be attached to the inner side.

In addition, the reflective part 160 may further include a sheet support part 164 attached to the adhesive surface of the reflective sheet 162. Here, one surface of the sheet support part 164 to which the reflective sheet 162 is attached may be formed in a flat surface or in a curved surface.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the reflector 160 according to another modified embodiment of the present invention may be directly formed on the inner surface 114 of the body housing 110. Various methods may be used to form the rough surface 161 directly on the inner surface of the main body housing 110.

One is a method of manufacturing the main body housing 110 by an injection molding method, wherein the irregularities are formed on the inner surface of the injection mold to be used for injection molding to form the irregularities on the outer surface of the injection molding injected through the injection mold. You can.

Another method of forming the rough surface 161 on the inner surface of the main body housing 110 may be a sand blasting method, and sand, etc., on the inner side 114 of the main body housing 110. By spraying on the inner surface of the body housing 110 can be made bumpy. The size of the irregularities may be adjusted according to the size of the sand particles. In addition, it is possible to form irregularities of various shapes and sizes on the inner surface of the body housing 110 by acid corrosion.

On the other hand, as another method for making the inner surface of the body housing 110 into the rough surface 161, by using the above-described reflective sheet 162, the reflective sheet 162 to the body housing 110 Can be used to attach to the inner side of the.

Referring to Figure 8, when explaining the configuration of the pest trapping apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The pest trapping device 200 according to the present embodiment has a structure similar to the pest trapping device described above in the first embodiment, and specifically, the main body housing 210, the attracting part 220, the trapping part 230, and the reflection. The unit 240 is included.

The attracting part 220 is composed of a plurality of attracting lamps 222, 224, 226, and is arranged in various forms in the body housing 210. In FIG. 9, the attraction lamps 222, 224, and 226 are arranged in a vertical direction, but may be arranged in various forms such as a zigzag structure, a radial structure, and a reverse radiation structure.

The reflector 240 is formed corresponding to each of the attracting lamps 222, 224, and 226. That is, the reflector 240 is composed of a plurality of reflector plates 242, 244, 246 and are located at the rear of the attraction lamps 222, 224, 226, respectively.

On the other hand, the reflector 240 may be formed spaced apart from the inner surface of the body housing 210 by a predetermined distance. Each of the reflecting plates 242, 244, and 246 is formed with a rough surface 241 facing the attracting lamps 222, 224, and 226, and irradiates light through the attracting lamps 222, 224, and 226. Diffuse reflection. However, some of the light irradiated through the attracting lamps 222, 224, and 226 passes through the reflecting plate 242 and the other reflecting plates 244 and 246 to the inner surface of the main body housing 210. (214) is reached.

Here, the inner surface 214 of the body housing 210 and the rear surface of each of the reflecting plates 242, 244, and 246 are also formed of the rough surface 241 in which the irregularities are formed, so that the surface may be processed so that diffuse reflection occurs. have.

In this way, the light irradiated to the rear from the attracting part 220 diffuses through the entrance 212 by the diffuse reflection on the rough surface 241 to spread in all directions in front of the main body housing 210 It can be more attracted, as well as the interior of the body housing 210 can be kept brighter due to the diffuse reflection of light so that the attracted pests can stay longer, contributing to increase the catch rate of the pest.

Having described the preferred embodiments according to the present invention as described above, the fact that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms in addition to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention It is obvious to those who have it.

Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive, and thus, the invention is not limited to the above description and may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Pest capture device according to the present invention having the above configuration has the following effects.

First, while reflecting light to the rear of the attraction lamp, it is possible to arrange the reflection plate to cause diffuse reflection occurs so that the light is irradiated in all directions in front of the device, thereby improving the attraction rate of the pest.

Secondly, the catch is generally located inside the body housing, where the light is diffusely reflected through the reflector to keep the interior of the body housing brighter, increasing the residence time of the pests attracted to the interior of the body housing. This has the effect of increasing the rate of capture of pests by the catch.

Third, irregularities causing diffuse reflection may be formed on the sheet-like reflective sheet, and the reflective sheet may be attached to the inner surface of the main body housing to contribute to miniaturization of the apparatus.

Fourth, by applying a light emitting diode (LED) as a attracting lamp, there is an advantage that it is convenient to use because it does not cause glare to the user while effectively attracting pests.

In particular, the light emitting diode (LED) is configured to irradiate light in the ultraviolet region, which is advantageous for attracting pests, so that light in other wavelengths such as the wavelength of the visible region is not irradiated. Suitable for installation on

In addition, the pests are rather avoided in the light of a specific wavelength range, the pest trapping device according to the present invention is irradiated only the light of the wavelength band preferred by the pest and other additional wavelengths do not generate light, so the pest band avoided This prevents the light from being generated, and as a result, the attraction efficiency can be maximized.

In addition, there is no need to replace the lamp periodically by reducing the power consumption and extending the life, resulting in a maintenance cost reduction.
