[0002] Mosquito repellent apparatus using light and fragrance [

The present invention relates to a mosquito repellent machine useful for outdoor activities such as camping, mountain climbing, fishing, and the like. More specifically, the present invention can emit light and fragrance evading the mosquito together, To a mosquito repellent machine.

Mosquitoes not only vomit the human body and animals, but also mediate various diseases such as malaria, encephalitis, yellow fever and dengue fever, as well as obstructing sleep and restricting outdoor activities.

About 53 kinds of mosquitoes are known in Korea. Among them, Chinese Anopheles sinensis mediates Malaria and Inland Brugian Filariasis, while Aedes togoi affects onchocerciasis in Namhae Island. Red house mosquito (Culex triaeniorhynchus) propagates Japanese encephalitis. Red house mosquito (Culex pipiens pallens) and underground house mosquito (Culex pipiens molestus) belonging to house mosquito It is inevitable.

Chemical control by insecticides is the main control for controlling these mosquitoes. However, these synthetic chemical insecticides have problems that cause side effects such as development of drug resistance, toxicity to humans and animals, environmental pollution, A new control method that can effectively protect human from mosquitoes has been required.

As a new control method, a mosquito collector or catcher is used which attracts and captures mosquitoes by using the light or aroma that the mosquito likes. However, since the mosquito collector attracts mosquitoes, there is a problem in that when installed in a space where people are active, more mosquitoes can be loaded into the mosquito.

As a result, devices are being developed that use mosquitoes to avoid the mosquitoes using light of a certain wavelength band.

Korean Patent No. 10-1132281 discloses a portable insecticidal lamp.

The insecticidal lamp is equipped with an insect-proof lamp that emits light of wavelengths that the insect does not like in the inside of the body, forms a convex lens shape around the body, and emits light from the inside in a semi- &Lt; / RTI >

However, the insect-proof lamp has the following problems.

First, since the mosquitoes are driven out by using light, there is a certain effect at night but there is no mosquito repellent effect during the day.

Secondly, the discharge lamp can be used in a place where it can be used while standing, and it can not be used at a certain height. In addition, since it is difficult for the user to grip with the hand, it is disadvantageous in that it can not be carried while moving.
