Description

Termite surveillance device with remote monitoring communication function {TERMITE FORECASTING DEVICE WITH REMOTE MONITORING COMMUNICATION FUNCTION}

The present invention relates to a termite monitoring device having a remote monitoring and communication function, and more particularly, to a termite monitoring device having a remote monitoring and communication function to remotely check the presence or absence of termites without requiring a manager to directly go to the site and make a quick response.

In general, it is known that about 2,050 species of termites live on earth, and termites living in Korea are Kyushu termites, which have a body length of about 2.3 mm and are known to live in about 10,000 to 100,000 in one house.

Termites are social insects, and king termites, queen termites, soldier termites, and worker termites form groups and live in colonies.

The worker termites make up the bulk of the termites, and are known to forage and bring food, feed on the larvae and soldier termites, raise the young termites, attend on the soldiers, clean the house, repair the house when it is damaged, and build the house when it is time to move.

Termites eat mostly trees and leaves, and also eat dead trees and fallen leaves, break down fiber to absorb glucose to obtain nutrients, and excrete various organic substances and salts.

As described above, termites are indispensable insects in the ecosystem because they clean trees and fallen leaves and help plants grow well with excrement, and play an important role in connecting predators and producers in the ecological cycle.

However, as important cultural properties made of wood, that is, wooden cultural properties, become food for termites and are damaged, it is becoming a big social problem.

Looking at an example of Tongdosa Temple in Korea, it is reported that 5 out of 8 pillars with a diameter of 50cm and a height of 3m in the Tongdosa Pharmacy Dictionary have already been severely damaged by termites.

In addition, Geungnakjeon Hall in Muwisa Temple in Jeollanam-do, Daeungjeon Hall in Seonunsa Temple in Jeollabuk-do, Yeongsanjeon Hall in Magoksa Temple in Chungcheongnam-do, Daeungbojeon Hall in Beopjusa Temple in Chungcheongbuk-do, Geungnakjeon Hall and Yeongsanjeon Hall in Eunhaesa Temple in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Geungnakjeon Hall and Imcheonggak Hall in Bongjeongsa Temple, Muryangsujeon Hall in Buseoksa Temple in Gunjajeong, Josadang Hall, Gaeksamun Gate and Haeunjeong Pavilion in Gangwon-do Province, and Ojukheon Hall are reported to be damaged by termites.

According to the report on the destruction of cultural properties by termites in 2011 by the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, 39 cases of damage were reported as a result of 57 investigations on national treasures, treasures, and important folk cultural properties, and the damage rate reached 68.4%.

Such termites were known to live only in parts of the Korean Peninsula, such as Chungcheongnam-do and western regions in the 1920s, but as the temperature of the Korean Peninsula rises with global warming, the population of termites that like high temperature and high humidity environments is rapidly increasing.

As termite control treatment methods for such wooden cultural assets, there are fumigation, wood preservatives, soil treatment, and baiting.

Among them, the bait method attracts termites and ingests toxic substances together with food, so it is a control method that destroys individuals and colonies at the same time, and has the advantage of less contamination of the soil and human body due to chemicals.

The termite control method using the bait method has attracted attention due to the advantage of less soil and human contamination, and has been disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 1994-0006459 as a prior art to which the bait method is applied.

However, the prior art disclosed in Patent Publication No. 1994-0006459 has a problem in that termite detection, surveillance, or control thereof is not efficient because the bait station having the cartridge contained in the housing must be separated and observed periodically to investigate the activity of termites.

In addition, conventional termite trapping or monitoring devices require a manager to periodically go to the site and check the devices, which requires a lot of time and manpower, and has many problems in terms of efficiency, such as missing during inspection.

Therefore, a method for solving these problems is required.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-1994-0006459

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the presence or absence of termites is accurately monitored, and a monitoring signal is remotely transmitted to the manager server, thereby enabling accurate and efficient monitoring of termites.

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

In order to achieve the above object, a termite monitoring device having a remote monitoring and communication function according to the present invention includes a body having a hollow interior and having a passage hole through which termites can enter and exit, a cartridge unit including an attractant accommodated inside the body and serving as food for termites, a cover unit coupled to an upper end of the body to prevent foreign matter from entering the body and at the same time preventing termites that have flowed into the body from coming out indiscriminately, and a cartridge unit that can be connected with the cartridge unit. When termites introduced into the body perform feeding activities through the attractor, a sensing unit for detecting this and determining whether termites are introduced, and a communication unit provided in the cover unit to receive the signal detected by the sensing unit and transmit the signal to a manager server.

At this time, the cartridge part is fitted into the body and is made of a hollow column shape, and includes a support rod having through holes formed on upper and lower surfaces, an upper flange and a lower flange having an expanded cross section at the upper and lower portions, and a bar shape having a longitudinal direction and having an elastic force provided between the upper flange and the support rod so that the operating rod moves upward according to the change in the shape of the attractor. A sieve may be included, and the attracting body may be provided through the operation rod and may be provided between the lower flange and the support rod so that the operation rod may move upward along the longitudinal direction of the support rod when a change in shape occurs due to feeding activities of termites.

The magnetic sensor senses a change in the magnetic field according to the displacement of the magnet member when the operation rod is moved upward in a longitudinal direction due to an action caused by termite feeding activity, determines whether termites are introduced, and sends a signal to the communication unit to remotely monitor the management server. you can make it

At this time, the attracting body is formed in multiple stages based on the central axis and is divided into external and internal parts, and includes a first attracting body located outside and a second attracting body located inside, and the first attracting body. It may be characterized in that it is relatively thinner than the second attracting body.

In addition, the lower flange may further include a protruding guard protruding along the circumference of the upper surface and in close contact with the lower end of the first attractor.

In a state where the protruding guard is in close contact with the lower end of the first attractant, as the shape of the first attractant changes due to the feeding activity of termites that have flowed into the body, the operating rod is primarily moved upward by the elastic body, and the upper surface of the lower flange excluding the protruding guard is in close contact with the lower end of the second attractant. and transmits this to the communication unit so that monitoring is performed remotely by the manager server. When a change occurs in the shape of the second attractor due to termite feeding activity and the actuating rod is secondarily moved upward by the elastic body, the magnetic sensor detects a change in the magnetic field according to the secondary displacement of the magnet member to determine the step of mass inflow of termites, and transmits the result to the communication unit so that monitoring can be performed remotely in the manager server.

In addition, the sensing unit is provided on one side of the operation rod, and includes a contact sensor that detects whether or not there is contact with the through hole as the operation rod moves upward. The contact sensor can be provided on one side of the outer circumferential surface of the operation rod, so that when the operation rod moves upward along the support rod due to an activity of termites feeding, the presence or absence of contact with one side of the inner circumference of the through hole is detected to determine whether termites have flowed in, and a termite inflow signal is transmitted to the communication unit so that the manager server Monitoring can be done remotely.

At this time, the contact sensors are continuously provided along the longitudinal direction of the actuation rod, detect the upward movement of the actuation rod step by step, distinguish between an initial inflow of termites and a large influx of termites, and transmit a termite inflow signal to the communication unit so that the manager server can remotely monitor the termites.

In addition, the termite monitoring device may further include a filler plate provided in a space between the support rod and the body corresponding to the upper part of the attractor in the inner space of the body to block the inflow of termites or termite excrement.

In addition, the body is made of a material containing cellulose and can serve to attract termites.

The termite surveillance device having a remote monitoring communication function of the present invention for solving the above problems has the following effects.

First, even if the manager does not go to the site regularly, the surveillance signal for termites can be received remotely and checked in real time through the manager server, so there is an advantage that efficient surveillance can be performed without burden of manpower and time.

Second, by detecting the presence or absence of termites through a sensor rather than directly checking by a person, there is an advantage in that accurate monitoring can be performed without missing parts.

Third, by detecting the initial inflow and mass influx according to the habit of termites, there is an advantage that a reliable response can be made according to each situation.

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

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention in which the object of the present invention can be realized in detail will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present embodiment, the same name and the same code are used for the same configuration, and additional description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention relates to a termite monitoring device having a remote monitoring communication function to remotely check the presence or absence of termites without a manager going to the site and checking the presence of termites so that prompt response can be made.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the termite monitoring device according to the present invention includes a body 100 having a hollow interior to form a space and having a passage hole 110 through which termites can enter, a cartridge unit 200 including an attractant 210 that can be accommodated inside the body 100 and serves as food for termites, and a cartridge unit 200 that is detachably coupled to the upper end of the body 100 The cover part 300 prevents foreign substances from entering the inside of the body 100 and prevents termites from indiscriminately coming out of the inside of the body 100, and the detecting part 400 and the cover part 300 that can be linked with the cartridge part 200 to detect when termites that have flowed into the inside of the body 100 feed through the attractor 210, and determine whether termites have entered the cover part 300 ) It may include a communication unit 500 provided inside the sensor 400 to receive the signal detected by the sensor 400 and transmit the signal to the manager server 700.

In addition, the termite monitoring device is inserted into the internal space formed in the body 100, and is located in a space corresponding to the upper portion of the attractor 210 provided at the lower end of the cartridge unit 200 among the space between the body 100 and the cartridge unit 200, more specifically, the space between the body 100 and the cartridge unit 200, and is introduced into the body 100 to attract the attractor 2. 10) may further include a filler plate 600 capable of blocking excretion of termites that eat the termites from entering or moving termites to the upper side of the body 100.

At this time, the lower part of the body 100 is preferably made of a round shape or a needle shape due to the nature of being buried in the ground, and the overall appearance is also preferably made of a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto. It may be made of a polygonal column shape such as a triangular column, a square column, or a pentagonal column.

In addition, the body 100 may be made of synthetic resin such as plastic or various other materials, but it is preferable to be made of a material containing cellulose, such as wood, to be more effective in attracting termites.

In addition, termites have a habit of making a tunnel-shaped tube using termite excreta for protection when moving in space or when humidity is insufficient, and moving therein. Therefore, it is preferable that the passage hole 110 formed in the body 100 and allowing termites to flow into the body 100 is made of a circular hole to have a tube-like shape like a tunnel.

In addition, the cover part 300 can be detached from the top of the body 100, such as fitting, fastening, or white paper, or can be coupled by applying any one of various methods in which the top of the body 100 can be opened. ) This is to facilitate the replacement and management of the cartridge unit 200 and the detection unit 400 accommodated in the interior.

The cover part 300 may be formed of a plate-shaped structure capable of simply covering the top of the body 100, but is not limited thereto, and the cover part 300 prevents termites introduced into the body 100 from moving and influencing the communication unit 500 and the detection unit 400, as well as forming an internal space in which the communication unit 500 and the detection unit 400 can be accommodated so as to be protected from external forces. It is desirable.

At this time, in order to facilitate replacement or inspection of the communication unit 500 and the detection unit 400 that can be accommodated inside the cover unit 300, a cover cap (not shown) may be formed on one side of the cover unit 300 so that one side of the cover unit 300 can be opened.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 , the body 100 may be equipped with the cartridge unit 200 and the filler plate 600 loaded therein.

The cartridge unit 200 may be connected to the sensing unit 400 and includes the attractant 210 serving as food for the termites introduced through the passage hole 110 formed in the body 100, thereby performing a role of allowing the sensing unit 400 to check and detect whether termites appear or not by an action caused by the feeding activity of the termites. Such a cartridge unit 200 is shown in FIG. 3 Similarly, a support rod 250 which can be fitted into the inside of the body 100 and has a hollow column shape with through holes 251 formed on the upper and lower surfaces, and an upper flange 220 and a lower flange 230 having an expanded cross-section at the upper and lower portions, and a bar shape having a longitudinal direction, the operating rod 2 passing through the support rod 250 through the through hole 251 40) and an elastic body 260 provided between the upper flange 220 and the support rod 250 and having its own elastic force so that the operating rod 240 can be moved upward according to the change in the shape of the attractor 210.

At this time, the attractor 210 included in the cartridge unit 200 is passed through the operation rod 240 and is provided between the inner lower part of the body 100, that is, between the lower flange 230 and the support rod 250 to correspond to the passage hole 110 formed in the lower part of the body 100 so that termites can be easily introduced into the body 100 buried in the ground. When the shape of the attractor 210 is changed due to the feeding activity of the termites introduced into the body 100, the elastic force of the elastic body 260 causes the operating rod 240 to move upward along the longitudinal direction of the supporting rod 250.

That is, the elastic body 260 is provided in a compressed state between the upper flange 220 and the support rod 250, and when the attractor 210 is eaten by termites and gradually disappears to change shape, the lower surface of the upper flange 220 is pushed up so that the operating rod 240 can be moved upward along the longitudinal direction of the support rod 250. it will

At this time, the longitudinal direction of the support rod 250 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the operating rod 240 .

To this end, the elastic body 260 may be formed of a compression coil spring as shown in the drawing of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and it should be recognized that any structure capable of pushing up an object (corresponding to an operating rod in the present invention) by its own elastic force can be applied.

At this time, the attractor 210 may be made of various materials containing cellulose, such as higher plants, cotton wool, filter paper, natural fiber, wood pulp, etc., and it is preferable to use pulp, paper, or sawdust to relatively easily transform according to the feeding activity of termites.

In addition, other components of the cartridge unit 200, except for the attractor 210, are made of a material that does not contain cellulose so that termites do not recognize them as food, so that the attractor 210 is consumed.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the filler plate 600 blocks the space between the body 100 and the cartridge unit 200 to prevent termites and termite excretions from entering, the space corresponding to the upper part of the attractor 210 among the spaces formed inside the body 100, that is, the support rod 250 and the body positioned above the attractor 210 among the cartridge unit 200 The operating rod 24 is provided in the space between the bodies 100 and blocks termites introduced into the body 100 from moving to the upper part of the space where the attractant 210 is provided without interfering with the activity of eating the attractant 210, thereby preventing termites from moving indiscriminately inside the body 100 and preventing termite feces from flowing into the upper part of the body 100. 0) can be smoothly moved along the support rod 250 without being adhered to the inner surface of the body 100 by organic matter included in termite excretion.

At this time, the filler plate 600 is also preferably made of a material that does not contain cellulose such as plastic or hard rubber to prevent termites from recognizing it as food, similarly to the material of the cartridge unit 200 other than the attractor 210.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the detection unit 400, which can be connected to the cartridge unit 200 and detects the presence or absence of termites by detecting the movement of the operation rod 240 according to the change in the shape of the attractor 210, can be provided inside the cover unit 300 as shown in FIG. It is provided on one side of 220 and may include a magnet member 420 that can be linked with the magnetic sensor 410.

For example, when termites introduced into the body 100 through the passage hole 110 formed in the body 100 feed through the attractor 210 and the operation rod 240 moves upward along the support rod 250 while the shape of the attractor 210 changes due to the action, the upper flange 220 provided on the top of the operating rod 240 One side, for more accurate measurement, the magnet member 420 provided on the upper side of the upper flange 220 is moved upward from the existing position together with the operating rod 240, and the change in the magnetic field according to the displacement of the magnet member 420 is sensed through the magnetic sensor 410.

Through this, the sensing unit 400 can determine that termites have flowed into the body 100. At this time, the magnetic sensor 410 makes it possible to link with the communication unit 500, so that the information about the inflow of termites detected by the sensing unit 400 is signaled and transmitted to the manager server 700 through the communication unit 500, so that the manager is dispatched to the site periodically and directly one by one. Even without direct inspection, the presence or absence of termites can be detected remotely through the manager server 700 .

The combined appearance of each component of the termite monitoring device having a remote monitoring communication function according to the present invention having the above-described structure can be more easily understood with reference to FIG.

In addition, the termite monitoring device does not simply detect the presence or absence of termites, but rather detects the influx of termites in stages, so that an appropriate response can be made by selecting the intensity of response to termites.

For example, due to the nature of termites living in colonies, a small number of worker termites move in search of food in the beginning, and after these worker termites find out that there is food, they call in a large number of termites and start full-scale feeding activities.

Considering these characteristics of termites, countermeasures against termites must be appropriately made. If termites are accurately detected in the initial stage or in the mass influx stage, termites can be exterminated or preparations for wooden buildings or structures requiring protection can be prevented from being excessive or insufficient, so that manpower and materials consumed in response can be efficiently used.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 7 , the attractant 210 serving as food for termites in the cartridge unit 200 may be formed in multiple stages based on a central axis and divided into external and internal parts.

At this time, the first attractant 211 is relatively thinner than the second attractant 212, that is, made to have a relatively smaller amount than the second attractant 212. It is preferable to accurately detect the food response by the small number of termites introduced at the beginning.

In addition, the protruding guard 231 may be protruded along the circumference of the upper surface of the lower flange 230 so as to correspond to the shape of the attracting body 210 formed in multiple stages, consisting of the first attracting body 211 and the second attracting body 212, and the protruding guard 231 may be provided to be in close contact with the lower end of the first attracting body 211.

For example, the protruding guard 231 formed on the lower flange 230 located at the lower part of the attractor 210 is divided into internal/external parts with respect to the central axis and is in close contact with the lower end of the first attractor 211 among the multi-staged attractants 210, and the feeding activity of termites introduced into the body 100 at the beginning causes a change in the shape of the first attractant 211. The operating rod 240 is primarily moved upward along the support rod 250 by the elastic body 260, and the upper surface of the lower flange 230 excluding the protruding guard 231 comes into close contact with the lower end of the second attractor 212. It is possible to determine the initial introduction stage of termites by detecting a change in the magnetic field according to the method, and by transmitting the result to the communication unit 500 to be transmitted to the manager server 700, the manager can check the manager server 700 and remotely confirm that a small number of termites appeared at the location where the termite monitoring device was installed.

In addition, the termites that ate the first attractor 211 identify food and return to call a large amount of termites forming a colony, and as the large amount of termites introduced into the body 100 actively feed, the shape of the second attractor 212 changes, so that the operating rod 240 is moved upward along the support rod 250 secondarily by the elastic body 260. The magnetic sensor 410 detects a change in the magnetic field according to the secondary displacement of the magnet member 420, determines that a large amount of termites is introduced, and transmits the information to the communication unit 500 and transmits the information to the manager server 700. Thus, the manager who has checked the manager server 700 can remotely confirm that a large number of termites have appeared at the location where the termite monitoring device is installed.

At this time, the magnet member 420 may be formed in the form provided on the top or one side of the upper flange 220 as described above, but the upper flange 220 itself is made of a magnetic material It should be recognized that it can serve as the magnet member 420.

The operation of the termite guarding device according to the multi-stage configuration of the decoy 210 can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 8 .

In this way, by dividing the influx of termites into an initial stage and a mass influx stage so that accurate detection can be made, the countermeasure against termites can be eradicated immediately at the beginning or a large number of termites that will come after the initial discovery can be observed.

In addition to the method of detecting the change in the magnetic field by the linkage of the magnetic sensor 410 and the magnet member 420 as described above, the sensing unit 400 may include a contact sensor 430 provided on one side of the operating rod 240 and detecting whether or not there is contact with the support rod 250 while moving upward along the support rod 250, as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

For example, the contact sensor 430 may be provided on one side of the outer circumferential surface of the operating rod 240, so that when the operating rod 240 moves upward along the support rod 250 due to feeding activity of termites that have flowed into the body 100, it can detect whether or not the through hole 251 formed in the support rod 250 is in contact with one side of the inner circumferential surface to determine whether termites have entered the communication unit 50. 0) to transmit the termite inflow signal to transmit information on the presence of termites to the manager server 700, so that the manager who has checked the manager server 700 can remotely check the presence or absence of termites.

At this time, the contact sensor 430 is continuously provided on the outer surface of the actuating rod 240 along the longitudinal direction of the actuating rod 240, so that the upward movement of the actuating rod 240 can be sensed step by step, and this step-by-step detection is a criterion for distinguishing the initial inflow and mass influx of termites according to the habit of the termites as described above, so that the initial response to the existence of termites and the accurate response to the large amount of termites can be efficiently and efficiently can make it happen.

In addition, the contact sensor 430 is continuously provided along the longitudinal direction of the operating rod 240 so that the inflow of termites can be detected by dividing them into an initial stage and a large-scale inflow stage. This can be detected simply through the moving distance of the operating rod 240, which is gradually moved upward along the support rod 250 by the elastic body 260 according to a change in shape in which the volume of the attractor 210 is reduced due to the feeding activity of the termites. However, it is not limited thereto, and as described above, the attractor 210 is divided into the first attractant 211 and the second attractant 212 and is formed in multiple stages with respect to the central axis, and the protruding guard 231 is formed on the upper surface of the lower flange 230 to correspond thereto, so that termites can be detected step by step more accurately.

As described above, the remote monitoring of termites achieved by the connection between the sensing unit 400 composed of the contact sensor 430 and the cartridge unit 200 can be more easily understood through FIG. 6 .

The administrator who remotely senses the influx of termites through the termite monitoring device having the above-described structure can identify the presence of termites, which are divided into an initial inflow phase and a large inflow phase, and may be equipped with an insecticide for a small amount or a large amount of eradication to dispatch to the location where the remote monitoring signal is transmitted and eradicate the termites so that they do not spread further, but is not limited thereto. 0), it is possible to naturally perform not only monitoring and observation of termites but also eradication of termites that actively feed.

After that, the manager goes to the area where the termite surveillance device that transmitted the signal detected by termites is installed, confirms the eradication of termites, and replaces the cartridge unit 200 or the attractor 210 with a new one, so that continuous and efficient operation can be achieved.

As described above, the preferred embodiments according to the present invention have been reviewed, and 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 is common knowledge in the art. It is obvious to those who have. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive, and thus the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
