Abstract
An adhesive-type insect trap includes a body having a hole for insertion of an adhesive sheet; a light source mounting unit disposed on the body; and a cover which is detachably mounted on the body and has a through-hole in at least a part thereof. The body further includes a light source seating unit provided so as to correspond to the light source mounting unit, and a light source may have one side thereof mounted on the light source mounting unit and the other side thereof seated on the light source seating unit.
Claims7
An adhesive-type insect trap comprising:
- a main body having an adhesive sheet insertion hole;
- a light source mount disposed on the main body;
- a cover detachably attached to the main body and having a through-hole formed in at least a portion thereof,
- an adhesive sheet guided into the main body via the adhesive sheet insertion hole;
- a light source mounted on the light source mount;
- and
- a sensor operable to detect:
- at least one kind of insect trapped on the adhesive sheet,
- an area of the adhesive sheet trapping insects, brightness of the adhesive sheet,
- an ambient temperature of a light source,
- intensity of light emitted from the light source,
- ambient illuminance of the insect trap,
- a time for replacement of the adhesive sheet,
- insertion of the adhesive sheet into the insect trap, and
- attachment of the cover to the insect trap;
- wherein the sensor further comprises an illuminance sensor for detecting illuminance of ambient light around the adhesive-type insect trap;
- wherein:
- a drive voltage applied to the light source mounted on the light source mount is controlled through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) depending upon variation in illuminance of ambient light;
- and
- the drive voltage applied to the light source has at least two duty ratios;
- a first duty ratio of the drive voltage applied to the light source is s % when the illuminance of ambient light detected by the illuminance sensor is less than a preset illuminance range;
- a second duty ratio of the drive voltage applied to the light source is b % when the illuminance of ambient light detected by the illuminance sensor exceeds the preset illuminance range;
- and
- the first and the second duty ratios of the drive voltage satisfy a relationship:
- b>s.
