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.

First claim

1 . An adhesive-type insect trap comprising:
a main body having an adhesive sheet insertion hole; a light source mount disposed on the main body; and a cover detachably attached to the main body and having a through-hole formed in at least a portion thereof, wherein the main body further comprises a light source seat disposed to face the light source mount such that one side of a light source is mounted on the light source mount and the other side of the light source is mounted on the light source seat; wherein the light source seat comprises: a pressing member pressing the light source in a thickness direction of the light source; a securing member pressing the light source in a height direction of the light source; and a support plate supporting the pressing member and the securing member; wherein the light source comprises an end cap adjoining the light source seat, and the end cap comprises at least one planar surface and at least one curved surface.

2 - 3 . (canceled)

4 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 3 , wherein the securing member comprises a tongue portion adjoining the light source and a flat portion extending from the tongue portion and adjoining the support plate;
wherein the securing member adjoins the planar surface of the end cap and the pressing member adjoins the curved surface of the end cap.

5 . (canceled)

6 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing member comprises a pressing member flat portion extending from the support plate in the height direction of the light source and a pressing member bent portion bent from the pressing member flat portion toward the light source.

7 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 6 , wherein the pressing member bent portion presses the curved surface of the end cap in the thickness direction of the light source and the tongue portion presses the planar surface of the end cap in the height direction of the light source.

8 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 7 , wherein the pressing member bent portion adjoins the curved surface of the end cap at a location higher than half of a height of the end cap.

9 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 7 , wherein an angle α, formed between a point at which the pressing member bent portion contacts the end cap and the planar surface of the end cap, is greater than 0° and less than 50°.

10 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 6 , wherein, when the light source is seated on the light source seat, restoration force of the pressing member flat portion acting on the light source is different from restoration force of the pressing member bent portion acting on the light source.

11 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one light source support member supporting the light source mounted on the light source mount.

12 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 11 , wherein the light source support member comprises a flat plate separated by a predetermined distance from a main body bottom such that the light source is seated on the flat plate.

13 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 12 , wherein the light source support member comprises at least one light source-pressing member pressing the light source in a thickness direction of the light source.

14 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 13 , wherein the light source comprises a case and an end cap disposed at a distal end of the case and the light source-pressing member adjoins the case at a location higher than half (½) of a height of the case.

15 . (canceled)

16 . An adhesive-type insect trap comprising:
a main body having an adhesive sheet insertion hole; a light source mount disposed on the main body; and a cover detachably attached to the main body and having a through-hole formed in at least a portion thereof, and a sensor operable to detect:
at least one of the 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,
the 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 comprises an illuminance sensor detecting illuminance of ambient light around the adhesive-type insect trap and a sensor installation unit is provided with the illuminance sensor; wherein 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 detected by the illuminance sensor; wherein the drive voltage applied to the light source has at least two duty ratios.

17 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 16 , wherein the main body further comprises a side portion connected to at least a portion of the light source mount, the side portion being provided with the sensor installation unit on which the sensor is disposed;
wherein the sensor installation unit comprises a sensor seat and a sensor guide guiding light emitted from an outside of the insect trap to reach the sensor seat; wherein the sensor installation unit further comprises a sensor installation unit protrusion protruding from the side portion.

18 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 17 , wherein the side portion is further provided with a display unit;
wherein the display unit comprises an indication light source seat and an indication light source guide guiding light emitted from the indication light source seat to reach an outside of the side portion.

22 - 23 . (canceled)

24 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 16 , wherein the sensor further comprises a UV sensor measuring the intensity of light emitted from the light source;
wherein the light source mounted on the light source mount comprises a light emitting diode and the UV sensor measures the intensity of light emitted from the light emitting diode.

25 . (canceled)

26 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 24 , wherein, when the intensity of light emitted from the light emitting diode and measured by the UV sensor is less than a preset value, the adhesive-type insect trap generates a light source replacement signal.

27 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 16 , wherein the light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the plurality of light emitting diodes being controlled to be sequentially turned on/off.

28 - 30 . (canceled)

31 . The adhesive-type insect trap according to claim 16 , wherein, when a 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 and is b % when the illuminance of ambient light detected by the illuminance sensor exceeds the preset illuminance range, the duty ratios of the drive voltage satisfy a relationship: b>s.
