Abstract

This device is an LED Frequency Regulating Light Generator that attracts flying insects and pests and utilizes light at hive wavelengths, featuring an LED light source, a reflective surface, and a chamber. The device can be surface-mounted or suspended from a ceiling. The chamber, LED light source, and concave reflective surface are designed to facilitate entry for flying insects and create an upward-facing opening for light to reflect off the concave surface. Flying insects and pests that enter the chamber are immobilized by the adhesive paper surface located inside the chamber. They are held inside the chamber via side panels. The coordination between the light emitted from the LED light source, the light reflected off the reflective surface, and an upward-facing opening for flying insects and pests significantly increases capture rates.

Description

1 TARIFF LED Frequency Regulating Light Generator Technical Area 1- The present invention has 5 features for both catching and repelling flying insects and pests. a device that emits light and catches flying insects and bugs that are attracted to its light. This relates to LED frequency regulator light generators. Previous Technique In flying insect traps produced with current technology, a typical enclosure consists of a 10 a ballast, a starter, an ultraviolet fluorescent tube supported by a starter and ballast and an adhesive sheet. Ultraviolet light emitted by the fluorescent tube, flying It attracts pests and insects into the enclosure. Flying insects come into contact with the adhesive sheet. Pests and insects stick to the sticky sheet and are thus trapped. This design... Variations exist. In many traps, instead of a sticky sheet, the 15-inch flying insects get caught in the trap. An electric grid is used that kills pests and insects via electric current. Killing flying insects and bugs attracted by ultraviolet light with an electric current. during this time, both their bladders and body parts are circulated through the airflow. Spreading it around causes contamination. This is the kind of fight against it. It is not feasible today because it does not comply with hygiene standards. In other traps, 20 Instead of fluorescent tubes, scents that attract flying insects and bugs are used. This The disadvantage of this method is that the released odor is released in areas with high air currents. The problem is the inadequacy of its scope. Fluorescent tubes produce light through a chemical reaction that occurs inside a glass tube. It is a type of special, gas-filled fixture that produces ultraviolet light. Specifically, it produces ultraviolet light. It contains interacting gases and mercury vapor. The inside of the tube is for general lighting. It is coated with a phosphor coating. This coating emits a white "fluorescent" light. This coating, Ultraviolet fluorescent tubes used in flying insect traps either have a less intense intensity. It is applied in this way or not at all. Over time, some issues have arisen regarding fluorescent tubes. Problems have been identified. One of these problems is the mercury inside a fluorescent tube and 30 Phosphorus materials are dangerous. If the tube breaks, the environment and surroundings will be contaminated with mercury. The phosphorus in broken glass is potentially even more dangerous. Fluorescent tubes... Disposing of them is problematic, even if they are not broken. They must be separated from general commercial and household waste. They need to be disposed of properly. Fluorescent tubes, within a relatively short period of time. It loses its effectiveness significantly and deteriorates. 35 used in flying insect and bug traps. Most ultraviolet fluorescent tubes are optimally attractive to flying insects and pests. Ultraviolet light is emitted for only up to 8000 hours. If the fluorescent tube is continuously supplied with energy... This period is less than a year. Therefore, pest control specialists and trap manufacturers, It is recommended that the tube be replaced at least once a year. Adhesive sheets and Although fluorescent tubes need to be replaced regularly, housings, starters and 40 Ballasts can last for decades. Today, they withstand flying insects and other pests for extended periods. It will generate light to attract insects, long-lasting without changing external electronic components. 2 the effect will continue for a period of time, arising from the use of ultraviolet fluorescent tubes Each of these problems requires a source of light to overcome it. Traditionally, an insect trap that works with the help of an LED light source attracts insects. It contains an LED and a cluster of LEDs that emit light, attracting it. This insect-attracting LED is especially useful for flying insects. It is directed at pests. Some flying insects and bugs are targeted by wavelengths of approximately 360-370 nm. They are attracted to light, specifically ultraviolet rays. Therefore, flying insects and bugs... The LED, when in use, is configured to emit light containing ultraviolet rays. In general... The light emitted by the LED, which attracts flying insects and bugs, is the main component. It includes ultraviolet light and blue light. Flying insects are attracted by the LEDs. Insects are caught by the sticky paper. 10 However, in the insect trap types described above, the light emitted by the aforementioned LEDs... The rays are limited to wavelengths that attract only certain types of flying insects and pests. Therefore, insects whose vision is outside these spectrums cannot be caught. This means being able to deal with all flying insects and pests in order to prevent the situation from escalating. A series of experiments were conducted to combine 15 LEDs with different wavelengths. This is possible by expanding the spectrum coverage using [method / technology]. As a result... By integrating LEDs of suitable wavelengths, the entire flying A device that can be effective against pests and insects is needed.

Hur and Based on the research of his colleagues, "Virus Inactivation in Red Cells" The practical implications of the observation that "it was formed by the effect of damage" also influenced the invention. Using the virus-killing method developed by Hur and his colleagues, very few... 20 It can be obtained with or without red cell damage at 660-700 nm.
