DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, configurations and applications according to embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description is one of many possible claims, and the following description forms part of the detailed description of the present invention.

In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather clear.

1 is a view showing a pest catching apparatus according to an embodiment.

1, a pest catching apparatus according to an embodiment may include a housing 110, an attracting unit 120, a capturing unit 130, and a control unit 140. [

The housing 110 may form the body of the pest catching device. The housing 110 may have an internal space. The housing 110 may have an opening through which insects may enter. The pest to be trapped can enter the interior of the housing 110 through the opening.

The attracting unit 120 may be disposed in the housing 110 and may include an attractor or the like capable of attracting insects by irradiating light. The attracting unit may include one or more attractors and the like. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be used as attractants.

Light emitting diodes are more efficient than other lamps and their power consumption may be low. In addition, it can be advantageous in terms of environmental aspects and stability than a fluorescent lamp. However, the types of incentives and the like are not limited thereto.

The capture unit 130 may be disposed within the housing 110 to capture attracted pests. For example, the capture unit 130 may include a sticky module, a collection case, a drowning module, and a pest control module. However, the type of the capturing unit 130 is not limited thereto.

The control unit 140 can control the duty ratio of the attracting unit 120. [ The PWM control method can be used to control the duty ratio. The control unit 140 may drive the attracting unit 120 by inputting a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to the attracting unit 120. [

The duty ratio is a ratio of the duty ratio at which the attracting unit 120 is turned ON with respect to a time period corresponding to one period of the PWM signal. If the duty ratio is 100%, the attracting unit 120 is kept ON State. ≪ / RTI > A method in which the ON / OFF ratio is 50% in lighting the attracting unit 120 can be used.

The attracting unit 120 includes a plurality of attractors and the like, and the control unit 140 can adjust the duty ratios of attractors and the like, respectively.

The control unit 140 can adjust the duty ratio of each of the attractors and the like. For example, the ON / OFF ratio of some of the attracted persons may be 50%, and some of the attracted persons may have the ON / OFF ratio of 50% or less.

2 is a graph showing a duty ratio and an applied voltage of an induction lamp according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the control unit 140 may increase the magnitude of the voltage applied to the attractor when the duty ratio is reduced. The magnitude of the voltage can be increased by using a converter.

Referring to Fig. 2 (a), the control unit 140 can reduce the duty ratio. It is possible to reduce the power consumption and the heat generation amount by setting the ON / OFF ratio of the induction or the like to 50% or less.

Referring to FIG. 2 (b), the control unit 140 may increase the voltage applied to the attracting unit 120. A strong ultraviolet ray can be emitted by applying a high voltage.

Referring to FIG. 2 (c), the pest catching power can be improved by lowering the duty ratio and increasing the voltage. The amount of ultraviolet radiation that is reduced by lowering the ON ratio of the attracting unit 120 can be compensated for by the high voltage.

Lowering the duty ratio can reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation irradiated by the attracting unit 120 and decrease the amount of ultraviolet radiation to reduce the attracting force. By maintaining the ultraviolet emission amount through the high voltage, the insect attracting power can be improved.

By lowering the lighting ratio of the attracting unit 120, it is possible to reduce power consumption heat generation. By applying a high voltage to maintain the ultraviolet ray emission amount, the insect capturing efficiency can be improved.

3 is a graph showing duty ratios and applied voltages according to another embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 3 (a), the control unit 140 can increase the duty ratio. It is possible to increase the amount of ultraviolet radiation by setting the ON / OFF ratio of the attractor or the like to 50% or more.

Referring to FIG. 3 (b), the control unit 140 may reduce the voltage applied to the attracting unit 120. The heating voltage and the power consumption can be reduced by lowering the applied voltage.

Referring to FIG. 3 (c), it is possible to increase the duty ratio and reduce the magnitude of the applied voltage to improve the pest catching power. The increase of the power consumption and the heat generation amount generated while increasing the ON ratio of the attracting unit 120 can be prevented by reducing the magnitude of the applied voltage.

By decreasing the applied voltage while increasing the ON ratio of the attracting unit 120, it is possible to maintain the ultraviolet emission amount and to solve the power consumption and the heating amount problem. The pest capture efficiency can be improved.

4 is a diagram showing an operation mode of the pest catching apparatus according to one embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 4, the pest catching device 1 may further include a mode setting unit capable of setting a light-up mode. The control unit 140 can control the duty ratio of the attraction or the like in accordance with the lighting mode.

The lighting mode may include a mode S11 for increasing the duty ratio. The ON ratio of the attracting unit 120 can be increased in the lighting mode.

By increasing the ON rate and increasing the amount of ultraviolet radiation, insects can be attracted. The magnitude of the voltage applied to the attracting unit 120 may be reduced to reduce the heat generation amount and power consumption.

Pests that are located in close proximity to a pest trapping device can respond to an incentive without having to irradiate strong light. Thus, the mode may be a mode favorable for local pest inducement.

The lighting mode may include a mode S22 for decreasing the duty ratio (S21) and increasing the magnitude of the voltage applied to the induction lamp and the like.

The ON ratio of the attracting unit 120 may be lowered and a high voltage may be applied to the attracting unit 120 to emit a strong ultraviolet ray instantaneously. Since the remote pest is far from the attracting unit 120, a strong ultraviolet ray may be required. The insect can be reacted by spraying strong ultraviolet rays.

This mode emits strong ultraviolet rays, so remote pests can respond, which may be a mode favoring remote pest attraction.

The lighting mode is an exemplary mode and other lighting modes may be possible. For example, by making the ON / OFF ratio the same, medium-range pests can be attracted.

In addition, a portion of the attracting unit 120 may include a mode that reduces the duty ratio and some that increases the duty ratio. Some of the attracting units 120 instantaneously emit strong ultraviolet rays to attract remote pests, and some attracting units 120 can increase the duty ratio to attract nearby pests.

While one embodiment has been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the invention and are not intended to limit or limit the scope of the invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art will be able to modify or adapt the invention according to one embodiment, and such modifications or applications will fall within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should not be limited to the specific embodiments described herein.
