Description

caterpillar

The present invention relates to caterpillars.

Recently, due to climatic and social influences such as global warming and eco-friendly policies, pests are increasing. In addition to damaging crops and livestock, pests can also adversely affect humans by transmitting pathogens such as malaria, dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis. In particular, due to the recent spread of the fear of infection of the Zika virus (ZIKV), research on methods for insecticide related to mosquitoes is more active.

There are a chemical control method using an insecticide as an insecticide method and a biological control method using loach and the like. In addition, as an insecticidal method, there is a physical control method in which pests are lured with pylorus or carbon dioxide, etc., and then a high voltage is applied to exterminate the pests. In addition, there are environmental control methods such as removing water puddles as an insecticidal method or improving the surrounding environment so that the larvae of pests cannot live. However, in the case of the chemical control method, secondary contamination is a problem. In addition, biological control methods or environmental control methods may require relatively high cost, processing time and effort. In addition, in the case of a physical control method using an insecticide device or an insect trap device, there is a problem in that the configuration of the device is complicated, so that the user's convenience is lowered or the high voltage device includes a risk.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the insect trap 10 according to the first embodiment includes a cover part 100 , an insect attracting part 200 , a body part 300 , and a collecting part 400 .

The cover part 100 serves to guide the light of the insect attracting part 200 located below. For example, the cover unit 100 may block or reflect light emitted from the insect attracting unit 200 and directed upward. Accordingly, the cover unit 100 may allow the light emitted from the insect attracting unit 200 to spread farther in the front and rear directions of the insect trap 10 . The insect attracting part 200 is disposed between the cover part 100 and the body part 300 , and is coupled to the cover part 100 and the body part 300 , respectively.

Although the insect trap 10 described in this embodiment includes the cover part 100, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the insect trap 10 may not include the cover part 100 . Alternatively, the upper surface of the insect attracting unit 200 may be formed to cover the upper portion of the body portion 300 , so that the insect attracting unit 200 may serve as the cover unit 100 .

Referring to FIG. 3 , the insect attracting unit 200 includes a light source module 210 and a light source module mounting unit 220 .

The light source module 210 may have at least one light source 212 mounted on both surfaces of the substrate 211 .

A wiring electrically connected to the light source 212 may be formed on the substrate 211 . For example, the substrate 211 may be a printed circuit board. However, the substrate 211 is not limited to the printed circuit board 211 on which wiring is formed. The substrate 211 may only serve to support the light source 212 .

The light source 212 may emit light for attracting insects to attract insects. For example, the light source 212 may be a package or a chip including a light emitting diode. In addition, the light for attracting insects may be ultraviolet light.

Although not shown in the drawings, the light source module 210 may further include a protection member surrounding the substrate 211 and the light source 212 . The protection member may be made of a light-transmitting material through which light from the light source 212 passes. The protection member may protect the substrate 211 and the light source 212 from foreign substances such as dust, moisture, and insects.

The light source module mounting unit 220 includes a light source module fixing unit 221 and a supporting unit 222 .

The light source module fixing unit 221 may fix the light source module 210 such that the light source 212 faces the front and rear surfaces of the insect trap 10 .

The light source module fixing unit 221 is formed to protrude downward from the upper surface of the light source module mounting unit 220 . In addition, an inlet leading to the inside of the light source module fixing unit 221 is formed on the upper surface of the light source module mounting unit 220 . The light source module 210 may be inserted into the light source module fixing unit 221 through an inlet formed on the upper surface of the light source module mounting unit 220 .

The light source module fixing part 221 is formed so that light is transmitted through the front and rear surfaces. For example, the light source module fixing part 221 may have a structure penetrating from the front to the rear. That is, the light source module fixing unit 221 may have a structure in which the front and rear surfaces of the light source module 210 are exposed to the outside when the light source module 210 is inserted, and the lower surface and the side surface are covered. Alternatively, the light source module fixing part 221 may be formed of a light-transmitting material on the front and rear surfaces.

When the light source module 210 is inserted into the parent fixing part of the light source 212 , the light source 212 faces the front and rear surfaces of the insect trap 10 .

The light source module fixing unit 221 may have any structure as long as the light source module 210 is fixed to the light source module mounting unit 220 to emit light to the outside.

The support part 222 has a structure that protrudes in a downward direction from the upper surface of the light source module mounting part 220 . In this case, the support part 222 is formed to protrude further in the lower direction than the lower surface of the light source module fixing part 221 .

The upper surface of the light source module mounting part 220 is coupled to the lower surface of the cover part 100 , and the lower end of the support part 222 is coupled to the body part 300 . At this time, since the support part 222 is longer than the light source module fixing part 221 , a space is formed between the light source module fixing part 221 and the body part 300 . Air outside the insect trap 10 may be introduced into the space between the light source module fixing part 221 and the body part 300 . In addition, insects attracted by light through the space between the light source module fixing part 221 and the body part 300 may be introduced into the body part 300 according to the air flow.

In the body part 300 , an insect passage part 310 , a motor 320 and a fan 330 are disposed. In addition, a plurality of air holes are formed in the lower portion of the body portion 300 so that the air inside the insect trap 10 can escape to the outside.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the insect passage part 310 , the motor 320 , and the fan 330 are sequentially positioned from the top to the bottom of the body part 300 .

Referring to FIG. 3 , the insect passing part 310 covers the upper part of the body part 300 . The insect passage part 310 may be detachably attached to the body part 300 , or may be formed integrally with the body part 300 .

The insect passage 310 is formed with a plurality of insect holes through which insects can pass. Insect holes can be formed into any shape as long as insects can pass through. Alternatively, the insect hole may be formed in consideration of the size of the insect to be collected. For example, the insect hole may be formed to have a size and shape through which insects not to be captured do not pass. In this case, it is possible to prevent the problem that insects larger than the collection target enter the inside of the body part 300 and stick to the fan 330 to generate noise or damage the fan 330 .

The motor 320 and the fan 330 are disposed inside the body 300 . The motor 320 rotates the fan 330 . The fan 330 rotates so that air from the outside of the body part 300 flows into the inside and forms an air flow toward the collecting part 400 .

By the air flow created by the fan 330 , insects near the body part 300 may pass through the insect passage part 310 and be sucked into the body part 300 . In addition, insects sucked into the body portion 300 by the air flow created by the fan 330 may be introduced into the collecting unit 400 located at the lower portion to be collected.

2 and 4 , a plurality of air guides 340 are formed on the inner wall of the body 300 . The air guide 340 is formed to be elongated in a downward direction from the upper portion of the body portion 300 .

In one embodiment, the air guide 340 may be formed so that one end is in contact with the lower surface of the insect passing unit 310 and the other end is in contact with the upper end of the collecting unit 400 . At this time, a groove is formed in the lower portion of the air guide 340 so that the second coupling part 411 can pass when the first collecting part 410 is coupled to the body part 300 .

In another embodiment, the air guide 340 is formed to be long, but one end may be in contact with the lower surface of the insect passing unit 310 and the other end may be formed to be spaced apart from the collecting unit 400 . For example, the other end of the air guide 340 may be located at the height of the lower end of the fan 330 . Here, the lower end of the fan 330 is the lowest portion among the wings of the fan 330 .

The air guide 340 increases the speed of the air introduced into the body 300 by the fan 330 . Accordingly, the air guide 340 may improve the insect suction ability of the insect trap 10 .

Tables 1 and 5 are exemplary views showing the average wind speed according to the number of air guides. Here, the average wind speed is an average value of wind speeds measured before, after, left, and right of the insect passage unit 310 . In more detail, it is an average value of the wind speed measured in the vicinity of the rim of the insect passage part 310 in the front, rear, and both side directions of the insect trap 10 .

air guide quantity	Jeon	after	left	right		average
0	0.90	0.83	0.92	0.84	0.87
One	0.90	0.85	0.91	0.90	0.89
2	0.93	0.83	0.94	0.92	0.91
4	0.95	0.87	0.95	0.93	0.93
8	0.93	0.91	0.95	0.94	0.93
10	0.92	0.87	0.96	0.91	0.92
12	0.86	0.88	0.88	0.84	0.87

Referring to Table 1 and Figure 5, the average wind speed gradually increases from 0 to 4 in the number of air guides. And when the number of air guides is 4 and 8, the average wind speed is the highest. Also, when the number of air guides is 10, the average wind speed is slightly decreased compared to 4 and 8 air guides, but there is no significant difference. And the average wind speed when the number of air guides is 12 rapidly decreases to the same average wind speed as when there is no air guide. In particular, it can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 5 that when there are 4 or more and 10 or less air guides, the average wind speed increases by 5% or more compared to when there are no air guides. Therefore, when there are 4 or more and 10 or less air guides, Since the average wind speed is greatly increased compared to when there is no air guide, the insect trapping ability of the insect trap 10 may be improved.

In this way, the insect trap 10 according to the present embodiment can increase the speed of the air introduced into the insect trap 10 by the air guide 340 formed inside the body part 300 . Accordingly, the insect trap 10 according to the present embodiment can improve insect trapping efficiency as the air velocity increases.

A first coupling part 350 for coupling with the collecting part 400 is formed on the inner wall of the body part 300 . The first coupling part 350 has a structure protruding from the inner wall of the body part 300 so as to be inserted into the collecting part 400 .

The collecting unit 400 traps insects introduced into the body 300 and prevents the captured insects from escaping to the outside of the insect trap 10 .

2 and 3 , the collecting unit 400 includes a first collecting unit 410 and a second collecting unit 420 . The second collecting unit 420 is seated inside the first collecting unit 410 . An air hole for discharging the air sucked by the fan 330 to the outside is formed in the first collecting unit 410 and the second collecting unit 420 . The air hole may be formed in a structure in which the captured insects cannot escape to the outside. For example, the air hole may be formed to have a width smaller than the size of an insect.

The air introduced into the body 300 by the fan 330 passes through the second collecting unit 420 and the first collecting unit 410 and through the air hole of the body 300 to the outside of the insect trap 10 . can be emitted. Insects introduced into the body 300 by such an air flow may be introduced into the first collecting unit 410 through the second collecting unit 420 .

The second collecting unit 420 prevents insects collected by the first collecting unit 410 from escaping to the outside of the first collecting unit 410 .

The second collecting unit 420 is fixed inside the first collecting unit 410 . For example, in such a way that at least a portion of an upper end or an outer wall of the second collecting unit 420 is coupled with at least a portion of an upper end or an inner wall of the first collecting unit 410 , the second collecting unit 420 is the first collecting unit It may be fixed to 410 .

The second collecting unit 420 has an inlet through which insects enter the inside of the second collecting unit 420 is formed at the upper portion, and an outlet positioned inside the first collecting unit 410 is formed at the lower portion. In addition, the second collecting unit 420 has a structure in which the diameter decreases from the top to the bottom. That is, the second collecting unit 420 has an inclined inner wall and has a structure in which the outlet is smaller than the inlet.

The flow of air generated by the fan 330 by the inclined inner wall structure is directed to a small outlet of the second collecting unit 420 . Accordingly, the insects introduced into the insect trap 10 may efficiently pass through the outlet of the second collection unit 420 and be collected by the first collection unit 410 .

In addition, since the outlet of the second collecting unit 420 is narrow, it is possible to prevent insects collected by the first collecting unit 410 from escaping to the outside.

At least a portion of the collecting unit 400 is positioned inside the body unit 300 and is coupled to the body unit 300 . Also, the collecting unit 400 may be detachably attached to the body unit 300 . Here, the first collecting part 410 is coupled to the body part 300 .

According to this embodiment, the first collecting part 410 includes a second coupling part 411 and a third coupling part 413 .

At least one second coupling part 411 coupled to the first coupling part 350 of the body part 300 is formed at an upper end of the first collecting part 410 .

The first collecting part 410 may be inserted into the body part 300 through the lower part of the body part 300 . At this time, the first collecting part 410 is inserted until the upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the air guide (340). That is, the air guide 340 may also serve to guide the coupling position of the first collecting unit 410 .

The first collecting part 410 inserted into the body part 300 is coupled to the body part 300 while rotating.

When the first collecting part 410 rotates along the inner wall of the body part 300, the first coupling part 350 of the body part 300 passes through the open side of the second coupling part 411 and is removed. 2 may be inserted into the groove 412 of the coupling portion 411 .

Accordingly, the first collecting part 410 may be primarily coupled to the body part 300 .

(400) is a primary bond. In addition, using the fixing pin 500 , the collecting part 400 is secondarily coupled to the body part 300 .

As described above, in the insect trap 10 according to the present embodiment, since the body part 300 and the collecting part 400 are double-coupled, the collecting part 400 may be more firmly fixed to the body part 300 . In addition, the insect trap 10 may prevent the trapping part 400 from being separated from the body part 300 due to an external impact due to the double coupling of the body part 300 and the collecting part 400 .

10 and 11 are exemplary views showing a caterpillar according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

10 is a front view of the insect trap 20 according to the second embodiment. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the insect attracting unit 260 of the insect trap 20 according to the second embodiment.

The insect trap 20 according to the second embodiment has the same structure except for the insect trap 10 in FIG. 1 and the insect attracting unit 260 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, the description of the insect trap 20 of the second embodiment will mainly focus on the description of the insect attracting unit 260 having a difference from the insect trap 10 of the first embodiment. For a detailed description of other omitted components of the insect trap 20 , refer to the description of the insect trap 10 of the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, the insect attracting unit 210 includes a light source module mounting unit 250 and a light source module 210 .

In addition, the light source module mounting part 250 includes a support part 252 and a light source module fixing part 251 .

Referring to FIG. 11 , the light source module mounting unit 250 may include three light source module fixing units 251 . Here, the light source module fixing unit 251 corresponds to a frame forming a space into which the light source module 210 can be inserted. That is, the fact that the light source module mounting unit 250 includes the three light source module fixing units 251 means that the light source module 210 has three spaces into which it is inserted. The three light source module fixing units 251 may be formed as an integrated frame as shown in FIG. 11 . However, the plurality of light source module fixing units 251 are not limited to being integrally formed. The light source module fixing unit 251 may have any structure as long as a plurality of light source modules 210 can be mounted thereon.

The three light source module fixing units 251 face different directions. Accordingly, the three light source modules 210 respectively inserted into the three light source module fixing units 251 may also emit light in different directions.

In each of the three light source modules 210 , a light source 212 is mounted on one surface of the substrate 211 . In addition, in the three light source modules 210 , the other surface of the substrate 211 faces the support 252 . Here, the other surface of the substrate 211 is the opposite surface of the one surface on which the light source 212 is mounted.

Referring to FIG. 11 , the three light source modules 210 are disposed to form an angle of about 120° to each other. Also, the light source of the light source module 210 may have an orientation angle of about 120°. Accordingly, the range of light emitted from the insect attracting unit 210 is 360°.

In this way, the insect trap 20 of the second embodiment emits light for attracting insects in the entire lateral direction, so that it is possible to attract insects efficiently.
