Description

Street lights having functions of capturing insects}

The present invention relates to a street light, and more specifically, after inhaling pests with air, only air is exhausted again through an air rotating arm, but turbulence is generated in the periphery of the street light to induce the inhalation of pests again, and the dead body of the captured pests Relates to a street light equipped with a pest collection function to be discharged through the opening.

Streetlights are installed on roads or parks to illuminate the surroundings at night. Usually, streetlight posts are fixed to the ground and lights are formed on the top of the posts to illuminate the surroundings.

At this time, the lighting part of the streetlight is brighter than the surroundings at night, and pests such as mosquitoes and moths gather around the lighting.In this case, it not only gives a feeling of disgust to pedestrians, but also increases the illumination with the aesthetics of the streetlight when pests stick to the lighting and die. There was a problem of dropping. In addition, since most of the lighting of streetlights is installed at a high place, cleaning and repair are not easy when the above problems occur, and maintenance costs are greatly increased.

In view of this problem, street lights with a pest-repelling function have been developed that not only serve as a lighting device, but also have a pest-repelling function capable of eradicating infested pests.

For example, in Korean Patent No. 10-1033946, a streetlight capable of eradicating pests has been proposed by emitting a strong wind instantaneously toward pests collected in the light of a streetlight.

However, streetlights capable of eradicating pests in this way are not only not a fundamental means to remove harmful pests, and consume a lot of power to continuously generate strong winds. Conversely, when the wind strength is insufficient, it completely eradicates pests. It was difficult to do, and there was a problem that the function could not be completed.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1033946

The present invention is to solve the above-described conventional problem, after inhaling pests together with air through the inlet of a street light head, and then exhausting only the air through the inlet passage again to the outlet passage, and having an air rotating arm to provide a street light head The purpose is to provide a streetlight equipped with a pest collection function that causes turbulence in the surroundings so that pests can be easily inhaled again with inhalation, and the dead bodies of pests gather in the pest collection unit and can be discharged through the opening.

The object of the present invention is not limited thereto, and other objects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

In order to achieve the above object, a street lamp equipped with a pest collection function has a hollow street lamp post and a balance arm integrally coupled to the street lamp post, and is formed on the balance arm, and is composed of a light emitting lamp and an intake port. An inlet passage formed in the street lamp head, the street lamp holder, and the balance arm, and formed to descend the pests and air introduced from the inlet, an intake fan formed in the inlet passage and causing inhalation of air, the street lamp holder, and Exhaust passage formed in the inside of the balance arm and formed to allow the air descending through the inflow passage to rise again and exhaust, formed in the outflow passage, and inducing exhaust of the descending air through the inlet passage It may include a fan, a pest collecting container formed inside the street lamp holder, for collecting the dead body of pests, and an opening and closing hole formed on the street lamp holder for discharging the dead body of the pest to the outside.

In addition, the outlet passage may further include an air rotating arm for changing the flow direction of the exhausted air.

In addition, it may include an optical sensor for sensing the amount of illuminance and a first control unit for controlling the light emitting lamp according to the amount of illuminance detected by the optical sensor.

In addition, when the illuminance detected by the optical sensor is less than or equal to a preset value, the intake fan and the exhaust fan are operated, and when the illuminance detected by the optical sensor is greater than or equal to a preset value, the opening is opened to prevent pests of the pest trap. It may include a second control unit to discharge the body.

In addition, it may include a third control unit that prevents the intake fan, the exhaust fan, and the opening/closing port from operating when the time corresponds to a preset time.

In addition, the inlet passage may be formed to have a narrower cross section toward a lower portion, and the outlet passage may be formed to have a narrow cross-section toward an upper portion.

A street light equipped with a pest collecting function of the present invention for solving the above problems has the following effects.

First, pests can be permanently eradicated by inhaling and collecting them with air, rather than continuously pursuing pests around streetlights, improving the aesthetics of streetlights, and ensuring sufficient illumination.

Second, since pests are sucked near the lighting and attracted to the inflow passage, the number of pests sticking to the luminescent lamp can be reduced, and maintenance costs such as repair and cleaning can be reduced. In addition, since the street lamp post is equipped with a pest trap and an opening, it is possible to easily treat the dead bodies of pests without additional equipment.

Third, since the intake fan and the exhaust fan are operated to induce intake and exhaust naturally and circulate air, it is economical because it consumes little power and can combat pests. In addition, it is possible to reduce the heat generation of the lamp by the wind generated by the fan, thereby suppressing the power consumption and failure of the device and prolonging the lifespan.

Fourth, by providing an air rotating arm and exhausting the periphery of the streetlight head, turbulence is generated around the streetlight head, thereby causing the loss of flight control of the approached pests, and then suction through the inlet to effectively remove the pests around the lamp.

Fifth, since the pests cannot move in the reverse direction of the air flow once inhaled and are dried in the inflow or outflow passage and die naturally, the pests can be removed without a separate electric device or spraying of pesticides.

Sixth, the intake fan and exhaust fan are not operated at all times, but operate together with the light emitting lamp of the streetlight according to the detected illuminance, and the fan is set in advance so that the fan does not operate in winter without pests to reduce power consumption as well as management. It can also be relieved of the burden.

The effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

There is no particular limitation on the location and shape of the light emitting lamp 210 and the intake port 220, but preferably, an intake port 220 may be provided between the plurality of light emitting lamps 210. By providing the intake port 220 around the light-emitting lamp 210 in this way, it is possible to attract pests to see the light at night and then inhale through the intake port 220 to effectively remove it. In addition, there is an advantage that the number of pests that die by sticking to the lamp can be reduced, and accordingly, not only the aesthetics can be improved, but also sufficient illumination can be secured. In addition, since wind is generated in the periphery of the lamp, it has the effect of suppressing the heat generation of the lamp, reducing device failure and power consumption, and prolonging the lifespan.

Next, the configuration of the inlet passage 300, the outlet passage 400, the intake fan 310, and the exhaust fan 410 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The inlet passage 300 and the outlet passage 400 are formed in the street lamp post 100 and the balance arm, and the inlet passage 300 may be formed so that the pests and air introduced from the inlet 220 descend. In addition, the outlet passage 400 may be formed so that the air descending through the inlet passage 300 rises again and is exhausted. In more detail, the interior of the hollow street lamp post 100 and the balance arm are divided to form an inlet passage 300 and an outlet passage 400 at the same time, and the inlet passage 300 and the inlet passage 300 in the street lamp post 100 The outlet passages 400 are interconnected, and each may be formed to circulate air by having a plurality of intake fans 310 and exhaust fans 410 therein.

Rather than simply pursuing pests temporarily, pests can be killed naturally by air drying inside by inhaling pests and circulating with air in the inner outlet passage 400 and the inlet passage 300 as described above. Can permanently eradicate pests.

In addition, since the intake fan 310 and the exhaust fan 410 are operated to naturally intake and exhaust and circulate air, power consumption is low, and once pests are inhaled together with the air, they cannot move in the reverse direction of the air flow. Since it is dried in and dies naturally, it can effectively remove pests without a separate electric device or liquid spray.

In addition to this, there is no particular limitation on the shape of the cross section of the street lamp post 100, the inflow passage 300, and the outflow passage 400, but the inflow passage 300 has a narrower cross section toward the bottom, and the outflow passage 400 is It may be formed so that the cross section becomes narrower toward the top. In the case of such a shape, it is possible to obtain an additional speed for air circulation according to the principle that the cross-sectional area and speed are inversely proportional, and a stronger wind can be generated at the point where the air is discharged.

Additionally, although not shown in the drawings, a guide member having a central passage formed in an erected'V' shape may be installed in the inflow passage 300, and the inverted'V' in which the middle passage was formed in the outlet passage 400 on the contrary. A'shaped guide member may be further installed. The guide member as described above can effectively prevent pests from being discharged in the inlet passage 300 and the pests being discharged together with the air in the outlet passage 400.

Next, with reference to Figure 2 looks at the configuration of the pest trap 120.

The pest collecting container 120 is formed in the inlet passage 300 or the outlet passage 400 inside the street lamp post 100 so that the dead bodies of pests may be collected. The location of the pest trap 120 is not particularly limited, but preferably, the cross section of the inlet passage 300 may be completely closed so that only air passes and pests may be collected, and the inlet passage 300 and the outflow It may be formed to be located at a portion where the passage 400 is connected so that pests that cannot be discharged to the outlet passage 400 may fall and be collected in a state of natural death. By providing the pest collecting container 120 as described above, the carcasses of dried pests can be conveniently and hygienically collected and removed without additional equipment.

In addition, the pest collecting container 120 may be tilted inside the street lamp post 100, and accordingly, the pest carcasses collected outside the street lamp post 100 may be formed to be easily discharged.

Next, with reference to Figure 2 looks at the configuration of the opening (110).

The opening 110 may be formed in the street lamp post 100, and more particularly, may be formed at a position corresponding to the pest collecting container 120 so that the body of the collected pests can be discharged to the outside. Although there is no limitation on the type of the opening and closing opening 110, it may be preferably formed in an outer casement method including a hinge. By providing the opening 110 as described above, the dead bodies of the pests collected in the pest collecting container 120 can be periodically discharged to the outside.

Next, a configuration of the air rotating arm 420 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The air rotating arm 420 may be formed in the outlet passage 400, and more specifically, may be formed in plural at one end of the outlet passage 400 to face each other at the periphery of the street lamp head 200. At this time, the air rotating arm 420 may change the flow of air while the air sucked into the inlet passage 300 is discharged through the outlet passage 400, and exhaust while facing from the periphery of the street lamp head 200. As a result, turbulence can be generated around the street lamp head 200. As a result, pests approaching the street lamp head 200 lose flight control in turbulent flow and can be easily sucked through the intake port 220.

Next, the configuration of the optical sensor 230 and the first control unit will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The optical sensor 230 is a device that detects the amount of illuminance, and may be formed on the balance arm of the street lamp or the street lamp head 200, and the first controller receives the amount of illuminance measured by the optical sensor 230 to emit light. The lamp 210 can be controlled. More specifically, the first control unit controls the brightness of the light emitting lamp 210 by comparing a preset amount of illuminance and the measured amount of illuminance, and controls the light emitting lamp 210 to turn off when the amount is greater than a certain amount, and to turn it back on when it is less than a certain amount. I can. As described above, by automatically controlling the brightness according to the amount of illuminance, power consumption can be reduced, and a street light having an automatic on/off system that does not require separate management can be provided.

Next, the configuration of the second control unit will be described.

The second control unit is a control unit that controls the intake fan 310, the exhaust fan 410, and the opening and closing opening 110 according to the amount of illuminance. More specifically, when the illuminance amount is less than a preset value, the intake fan 310 and the exhaust fan 410 ) Is operated, and when the value is higher than a preset value, the opening 110 may be opened to control the discharging of the pests of the pest collecting container 120. That is, the user can preset the amount of illuminance that is the reference, and the second controller receives the value of illuminance detected from the optical sensor 230, and at night when the illuminance is lower than the preset value, the intake fan 310 and the exhaust fan By operating the 410, it is possible to inhale and discharge the pests gathering around the light-emitting lamp 210, and in the morning when the illuminance is higher than the preset value, open the opening 110 to discharge the pest corpses of the pest collecting container 120 This allows the user to handle this. As described above, the intake fan 310 and the exhaust fan 410 are provided with a second control unit that operates only at night when pests gather around the light emitting lamp 210 based on the amount of illuminance rather than always operating, thereby reducing power consumption. It can minimize and use energy efficiently, and the convenience of management can be further increased by inhaling and discharging pests without a separate manipulation of the user.

Next, the configuration of the third control unit will be described.

The third control unit is a control unit that controls the intake fan 310, the exhaust fan 410, and the opening and closing ports 110 to not operate when a preset time corresponds, and more specifically, a second control unit that operates according to an illuminance value. In spite of the control unit, it serves to suppress the operation of the devices at a preset time. The time can be set on a monthly basis. In particular, since there are very few pests in winter, the necessity to operate the devices is low. Therefore, it is not possible to operate even in the evening, so that energy consumed by street lights can be efficiently managed.
