MULTIPURPOSE MOSQUITO TRAP LAMP
A multipurpose mosquito trap lamp base includes a base that admits light, a holder frame mounted in the base and holds an induced-draft fan at the front side and an ultraviolet lamp at the rear side, a hollow shell coupled to the rear side of the base for trapping mosquitoes, a filter cap capped on the rear side of the hollow shell for removing dust from air passing through the hollow shell, and an ozone generator mounted inside the base for generating ozone to sterilize air passing through the base and the hollow shell and the filter cap.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mosquito trap lamp for trapping mosquitoes and other insects and more particularly, to a multipurpose mosquito trap lamp, which catches mosquitoes and other small insects and simultaneously clean the air.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventional mosquito trap lamps commonly use an ultraviolet lamp to give off ultraviolet light to attract mosquitoes, a guard-protected high-voltage electric netting to kill mosquitoes by a high voltage. These conventional mosquito trap lamps are still not satisfactory in function because of the following drawbacks:
1. The ultraviolet lamp gives off ultraviolet light to attract mosquitoes in a still status, and mosquitoes can be killed only when they touched the high-voltage electric netting.
2. People may touch the high-voltage electric netting accidentally. It is dangerous under a wet environment.
3. Conventional mosquito trap lamps are specifically designed to trap mosquitoes without providing any added functions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a multipurpose mosquito trap lamp, which traps mosquitoes effectively. It is another object of the present invention to provide a multipurpose mosquito trap lamp, which induces currents of air and cleans the air. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the multipurpose mosquito trap lamp comprises a base that admits light, a holder frame mounted in the base and holds an induced-draft fan at the front side and an ultraviolet lamp at the rear side, a hollow shell coupled to the rear side of the base for trapping mosquitoes, a filter cap capped on the rear side of the hollow shell for removing dust from air passing through the hollow shell, and an ozone generator mounted inside the base for generating ozone to sterilize air passing through the base and the hollow shell and the filter cap.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
Referring to
Further, by means of the set of function selection buttons 12, the user can selectively turn on the induced-draft fan 15, or turn on the induced-draft fan 15 and the ozone generator 17 at the same time.
Further, because the hollow shell 20 and the filter cap 30 are detachable, the cleaning of the mosquito trap lamp is easy.
A prototype of multipurpose mosquito trap lamp has been constructed with the features of FIGS. 1˜3. The multipurpose mosquito trap lamp functions smoothly to provide all the features discussed earlier.
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
Claims
1. A multipurpose mosquito trap lamp comprising:
- a base, said base admitting light, said base comprising a set of function selection buttons for operation control and an open chamber;
- a circular holder frame mounted inside the open chamber of said base, said circular holder frame having a hub;
- an induced-draft fan mounted in a front side of said hub and electrically connected to said set of function selection buttons;
- an ultraviolet lamp mounted in a rear side of said hub and electrically connected to said set of function selection buttons;
- a hollow shell coupled to a rear side of said open chamber of said base, said hollow shell comprising a mosquito-catching chamber; and
- a filter cap fastened to a rear side of said hollow shell opposite to said base, said filter cap comprising a dust chamber, a front wire gauze filter and a rear wire gauze filter respectively fastened to front and rear sides of said dust chamber to filter dust from air passing through.
2. The multipurpose mosquito trap lamp as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an ozone generator mounted inside said open chamber of said base and electrically connected to said set of function selection buttons.
3. The multipurpose mosquito trap lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hollow shell comprises an one-way swinging door that closes said mosquito-catching chamber when said induced-draft fan does no work and is forced to open said mosquito-catching chamber by induced currents of air during operation of said induced-draft fan.
4. The multipurpose mosquito trap lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hollow shell comprises a door panel at a front side in front of said mosquito-catching chamber, said door panel having a plurality of slots for enabling mosquitoes to pass into said mosquito-catching chamber, and a plurality of sloping slats respectively obliquely extended from a back wall thereof adjacent to said slots for guiding mosquitoes into said mosquito-catching chamber and stopping trapped mosquitoes from escaping out of said mosquito-catching chamber through said slots.
