Description

Auto laser illuminator {AUTO LASER ILLUMINATOR}

The present invention relates to an auto laser illuminator that irradiates a laser to a designated target, and specifically, to suppress external intrusion by irradiating a red laser to a window at night, and by using a laser beam during the day for curiosity of companion animals It is about an auto laser illuminator that causes pets to play alone.

Recently, interest in companion animals is increasing to the extent that the number of people who own companion animals exceeds 10 million in Korea, and the number of people who own companion animals is also expected to increase rapidly due to the increasing number of single-person households and the elderly population. is predicted to be However, modern people do not have enough time to take care of their pets because of their busy lives, and as a result, they are frequently left unattended for a long time.

In this way, when a companion animal is left alone for a long time and there is a lack of communion between the companion animal and the owner, the companion animal may cause not only physical diseases such as lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, but also mental diseases such as depression and emotional instability. . In particular, in the case of companion animals that are highly dependent on their owners, they may show abnormal behavior such as cluttering the house after the owner goes out or urinating in various parts of the house despite toilet training.

Therefore, in the absence of the owner, there are many cases where the TV is turned on so that the pet is not free, or a toy that the pet can play with is left behind. There are limits to

In order to provide toys to companion animals who remain alone in the house when the owner is absent, as an example, Korean Patent Laid-Open Patent No. 10-2015-0070624 proposes a play robot for pets.

However, the play robot for pets proposed in Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0070624 is a cleaning robot that cleans along the movement of the pet, and has a poor ability to interact with the pet, so it can be used as a toy for pets. was not expected to have a significant effect.

On the other hand, every year during the holidays or summer vacation season, the crime of robbery, who steals money and valuables for an empty house, is steadily increasing. In particular, during the holiday season (July-August), the crime of robbery from empty houses increases by 20-30%, so caution is needed.

To prevent these robbery crimes, thoroughly crack down on doors and windows, change the door lock password, take precautions to prevent newspapers and parcels from accumulating, and use lighting or TV reservation functions to make sounds in the house. A method of turning on about one small light is known, but the effect is insufficient.

The control unit 19 controls the left and right rotation module 14 and the vertical rotation module 15 for a time set through the timer 16 to generate a laser beam with spatial coordinates (X, Y, Z) set through the laser module 13 . investigate For example, at night, a laser is irradiated to a window to suppress external intrusion, and during the daytime, a laser beam is irradiated to a specific location to induce curiosity in companion animals.

The spatial coordinates of the laser beam irradiated from the laser module 13 during the day and night are set by the user, or programmed when the auto laser illuminator 10 is manufactured and registered and stored in the memory (not shown) and then stored in the control unit ( 19), it can operate repeatedly in a certain pattern (period). That is, the shape, color, position, number of repetitions, and the like of the laser beam irradiated through the laser module 13 may be periodically formed in a predetermined pattern.

5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating the operating characteristics of the auto laser illuminator according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a view showing the operation characteristics at night, and FIG. 6 is a view showing the operation characteristics during the day.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the controller 19 controls the left and right rotation module 14 and the vertical rotation module 15 at night to irradiate a laser beam to the window 1 through the laser module 13 . In this case, the laser beam irradiated from the laser module 13 may be a red laser beam.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the control unit 19 controls the left and right rotation module 14 and the vertical rotation module 15 during the day to direct a laser beam having a specific shape and color to a predetermined position, for example, through the laser module 13 . For example, irradiate the living room floor. At this time, the shape and color of the laser beam irradiated from the laser module 13 can be variously changed through the laser output adjustment unit 21 to induce curiosity of the companion animal 2 through the visual stimulation of the companion animal 2 . .

In order to maximize the curiosity of the companion animal, the control unit 19 irradiates a laser beam to a predetermined position, and when the movement of the companion animal 2 is detected in response to the laser beam, the control unit 19 rotates vertically with the left and right rotation module 14 By controlling the operation of the module 15, the position is moved by the spatial coordinates set from the position where the current laser beam is irradiated. That is, the left and right rotation module 14 and the vertical rotation module 15 are operated to move the laser module 13 to the set spatial coordinates.

As such, the auto laser illuminator 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be a pleasant toy for companion animals left alone by irradiating various patterns or intermittent laser spots throughout the room in the absence of the owner, and can be a pleasant toy for companion animals at night. By generating a laser spot (or curtain), it is possible to prevent the intrusion of an outsider such as an empty house robber in advance.

The irradiation time, position movement, shape and color or pattern of the laser beam formed by the laser module 13 can be operated by a pre-programmed program, which the user sets in advance and goes out or remotely from outside after going out can also be controlled.

For example, the remote control may be controlled through a user terminal (smartphone). To this end, the Internet of Things (IoT) is installed in the auto laser illuminator 10 , and an application (app) may be separately installed in the user terminal to remotely control it.

That is, although not shown in the drawings, for operation by such a program and remote control from the outside, the base 11 has a power connector for supplying power to the auto laser illuminator 10 , and a network for connection with an external network A connector and a card slot for inserting a basic or additional memory card may be provided.

In addition, the sound output unit 24 may be further included.

The sound output unit 24 is controlled by the control unit 19 to output not only the alarm function but also the pre-recorded voice of the owner of the companion animal through the speaker. For example, if the control unit 19 does not respond to the laser beam while the laser module 13 is operating and the movement of the companion animal 2 is not detected for a time set by the motion sensor 23, the sound output unit ( 24), the pre-recorded voice of the owner can be output through the speaker to arouse the interest of companion animals. Through this, it is possible to overcome the limitation of attracting the attention of companion animals for a long time with only laser by providing visual and auditory effects to companion animals at the same time.

As described above, the technical idea of the present invention has been specifically described in the preferred embodiment, but the preferred embodiment is for the purpose of explanation and not for limitation.
