SLIM INSECT TRAP USING UV LED
20180368383 · 2018-12-27 ·

The present invention relates to an insect trap for attracting insects using a UV LED and sucking and capturing the attracted insects with a fan. The insect trap of the present invention comprises: a body; a suction part provided on one side of the body; a fan installed behind the suction part; at least one UV LED, provided on the body at least around the fan, for irradiating ultraviolet rays forward; a discharge part for discharging air sucked in by the suction part in a direction different from the air suction direction of the suction part; a duct which is an air passage from the suction part to the discharge part; a first streamlined inner surface, provided on an inner wall side opposite to a direction in which the duct extends on the basis of the suction part, for guiding air sucked into the suction part toward the duct; and an insect net, installed in the discharge part, for passing the air therethrough and capturing insects being sucked in together with the air.

System and method for locating and eliminating insects

Systems and methods are provided for locating an insect in a space and for indicating to a user the location of the insect and/or for eliminating the insect. The system includes a camera to obtain an image of the space and a processor to detect an object by comparing at least two images of the space and determine that the object is an insect based on a characteristic of the object in an image of the space. In some embodiments an independently mobile device may be controlled to eliminate the insect at the location of the insect in the space.

Insect Trap
20180310542 · 2018-11-01 ·

A compact insect trap providing a liquid attractant to lure insects and a fan to draw insects into a container. The container is detachable for ease of cleaning and filling with the attractant. Insects converge near the fumes at a narrow annular passage on the perimeter of the device. An internal fan is activated by a timing circuit and provides intermittent bursts of air directed inside and towards the container. Airflow continues upwards through a screen, the fan, and expelled past a unidirectional valve near the top of the device. Nearby insects are suctioned into the container and are retained within due to the screen, thus preventing contamination of moving parts. As airflow is paused, insects are released from the screen where they fall or fly into the attractant. Other embodiments are described and shown.
