For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, a first component may be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component may also be referred to as a first component.

On the other hand, the terms to be described later are terms set in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention or custom of the producer, so the definition should be made based on the content throughout this specification.

Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

Hereinafter, a firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 . 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining a firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first valve 2 , a nozzle 3 , an ignition unit 5 , and a feeder unit 6 .

The first valve 2 may be opened and closed according to a control signal.

When the first valve 2 is opened, the high-pressure fuel may move to the outside. The high-pressure fuel may be supplied from the fuel tank 1 through the fuel pipe 11 .

The fuel tank 1 may be filled with fuel and may be filled with nitrogen gas. That is, when the first valve 2 is opened, a high pressure is formed in the fuel so that it can be injected as the high pressure fuel.

The nozzle 3 may be connected to one side of the first valve 2 . 1 and 2, the first valve (2) and the nozzle (3) are presented in a form in which they are physically combined, but by connecting a pipe between the first valve (2) and the nozzle (3), the first valve ( 2) and the distance between the nozzle (3) can be reduced.

By disposing the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3 away from each other, each component can be arranged more flexibly when manufacturing the firefly special effect device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The ignition unit 5 may be disposed on one side of the nozzle 3 and implement a high temperature environment so that the fuel is ignited. The ignition unit 5 may include an ignition solenoid and an ignescent coil, and since such a configuration is a known configuration as shown in the prior art literature, a more detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The feeder unit 6 may supply the metal powder toward the nozzle 3 .

The metal powder provides a plurality of metals in the form of small particles or powder, and may be oxidized by emitting light when exposed to a high temperature environment.

In addition, since the metal powder is different from the ignition temperature of the fuel, the combustion time may be different, and since the ignition temperature is different for each metal component of the metal powder, the oxidation time may be different for each.

The metal powder may be heated with the ignition unit 5, but it may be exposed to a high-temperature environment formed while the fuel is first burned and oxidized later to emit light, and this light may appear as if a firefly insect forms light. .

That is, in the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the first valve 2 is opened, high-pressure fuel may be injected into the air through the nozzle 3 .

When the high-pressure fuel is injected into the air, the metal powder may be mixed with the high-pressure fuel and injected together, and the high-pressure fuel is heated by the ignition unit 5 and burned in the air, and the metal powder is the ignition unit In addition to being heated by (5), the fuel may emit light while being oxidized to a high-temperature environment formed when the fuel is burned.

As described above, the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention burns fuel to form a flame, and from the time the flame is formed, the metal powder sparkles as if the firefly insect is flying and glitters while the flame disappears. It is possible to produce a firefly light by burning it, thereby realizing a new type of special effect that has not been seen in conventionally known special effects.

The feeder unit 6 may include a box 61 , a screw unit 62 , a motor 63 , and a material line 64 .

The box 61 may be filled with metal powder.

The screw unit 62 may be disposed below the box 61 and may be formed in a spiral shape. When the screw unit 62 rotates, the metal powder may move along a spiral of the screw unit 62 .

The motor 63 may be disposed on one side of the box 61 and may operate the screw unit 62 .

The material line 64 is connected from the box 61 to the nozzle 3 so that the metal powder can be moved.

That is, when the motor 63 operates, the screw unit 62 rotates, and as the screw unit 62 rotates, the metal powder moves, and the metal powder moves toward the nozzle 3 along the material line 64 . can be moved

On the other hand, the side hole 4 may be formed in a hole in the side of the nozzle 3 , and the material line 64 may be connected to the side hole 4 .

As a result, the metal powder can be moved toward the outlet of the material line 64 to stand by, and when the high-pressure fuel is injected, the pressure at the outlet of the material line 64 is lowered to absorb the metal powder.

That is, when the high-pressure fuel is injected from the nozzle 3 , the metal powder may be naturally mixed with the high-pressure fuel, and the metal powder may be injected together in the direction in which the high-pressure fuel is injected.

On the other hand, a second valve 64 may be disposed in the material line 64 , and when the second valve 64 is opened, external air may be introduced into the material line 64 .

That is, by adjusting the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 , it is possible to control the amount of external air inflow.

When the second valve 64 is set to the closed side, the inflow of external air is reduced, and conversely, when the second valve 64 is set to the open side, the inflow of external air can be increased.

The inflow of external air may be inversely proportional to the amount of metal powder mixed with the high-pressure fuel, and more specifically, if the inflow of external air is increased, less metal powder is mixed, and as the inflow of external air is decreased, more metal powder is mixed can be

As the amount of metal powder increases, the effect of shimmering light can be produced larger and more splendidly, and the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 can be adjusted according to the intention of the director.

On the other hand, the second valve 64 may be manual or automatic. If the second valve 64 is manually configured, the director can pre-set by measuring the size of the firefly light. In addition, the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 may be modified at any time according to the intention of the director.

On the other hand, if the second valve 64 is automatically configured, the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 can be remotely controlled, and the degree of opening and closing can be corrected in real time. In particular, the second valve 64 may be automatically controlled according to the rhythm, beat of music, or the like, or the degree of opening and closing of the second valve 64 may be modified according to a preset programmed sequence.

Accordingly, the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention can contribute to directing the firefly light to a more dramatic atmosphere with a higher degree of perfection.

Another example of the nozzle configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . 3 is a view for explaining a firefly special effect device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the firefly special effect device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3 , the material line 64 may be disposed at a position separated from the nozzle 3 .

That is, the end of the material line 64 may be disposed above the nozzle 3 to spray the metal powder from above the nozzle 3 .

This allows the metal powder to be more reliably sprayed into the air when the high-pressure fuel is injected into the air, and the metal powder can be sprayed a little higher and over a wider range, thereby making the scale of the firefly light bigger and more colorful. can be implemented

Also, the first valve 2 and the motor 63 may be controlled to operate according to the same control signal. Accordingly, it is possible to drop the metal powder upwards of the nozzle 3 at the time of injecting the high-pressure fuel, and it is possible to prevent the metal powder from falling to the periphery of the nozzle 3 and not being used.

Meanwhile, a third valve 7 may be disposed between the first valve 2 and the nozzle 3 . The third valve 7 may prevent the high-pressure fuel from moving to the nozzle 3 to prevent an accident.

For example, if the high-pressure fuel is not normally injected or combusted for unknown reasons, it is possible to detect whether a flame is normally generated and lock the third valve 7 when it is determined that the flame is not normal. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent unauthorized leakage of high-pressure fuel into the air, and it is possible to prevent fire accidents.
