Ultrasonic generator and method for repelling mosquito in vehicle using the same
View Patent ↗An ultrasonic generator and a method for repelling a mosquito in a vehicle using the same are provided. The ultrasonic generator may include a sensor device that is configured to sense a mosquito in a vehicle, an ultrasonic vibrator device that may be configured to output an ultrasonic signal for repelling the mosquito, and a controller that controls the ultrasonic vibrator device and controls a first window, chosen among a plurality of windows of the vehicle, to be opened such that the mosquito is repped out of the first window.
1 . An ultrasonic generator for repelling a mosquito, which is sensed by a sensor, out of a vehicle, comprising:
an ultrasonic vibrator device configured to output an ultrasonic signal for repelling the mosquito; and
a controller configured to:
control the ultrasonic vibrator device and control a first window, chosen among a plurality of windows of the vehicle, to be opened such that the mosquito is repelled out of the first window, and
select the first window by excluding a window, chosen among the plurality of windows of the vehicle, closest to a location of a passenger of the vehicle.
2 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic vibrator device includes:
a first ultrasonic vibrator and a second ultrasonic vibrator configured to output ultrasonic waves having different frequencies.
3 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the ultrasonic vibrator device such that a frequency range output by the ultrasonic vibrator device is swept.
4 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , further comprising:
a motor configured to rotate the ultrasonic vibrator device if activated by the controller.
5 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
select the first window based on which window of the plurality of the windows of the vehicle is closest to a location of the mosquito.
6 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a second window of the plurality of the windows of the vehicle to be opened if a distance between the mosquito and the first window is greater than or equal to a threshold distance.
7 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 6 , wherein the second window is located in a direction opposite to the first window.
8 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the ultrasonic vibrator device to transmit a secondary ultrasonic wave before opening the first window and after opening the second window.
9 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , further comprising:
a display configured to provide a notification of an operation state of the ultrasonic vibrator device.
10 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a speaker for in-vehicle use to output a sound source signal of a predetermined audible frequency while the ultrasonic vibrator device outputs an ultrasonic signal.
11 . The ultrasonic generator of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a display in the vehicle to display a location of the mosquito sensed by the sensor device.
12 . A method for repelling a mosquito, which is sensed by a sensor, in a vehicle, the method comprising:
transmitting, by an ultrasonic vibrator device, a primary ultrasonic wave based on the sensing of the mosquito; and
opening, by a controller, a first window, chosen among a plurality of windows of the vehicle, for repelling the mosquito out of the vehicle;
wherein the opening of the first window further includes:
determining, by the controller, a location of a passenger in the vehicle, and
selecting, by the controller, the first window by excluding a window, chosen among the plurality of windows of the vehicle, closest to the location of the passenger.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the opening of the first window step further includes:
determining, by the controller, a location of the mosquito; and
selecting, by the controller, the first window based on which window of the plurality of the windows of the vehicle is closest to the location of the mosquito.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the opening of the first window step further includes:
opening, by the controller, a second window of the plurality of the windows of the vehicle if a distance between the mosquito and the first window is greater than or equal to a threshold distance.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the second window is located in a direction opposite to the first window.
16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the controller, a secondary ultrasonic wave before opening the first window and after opening the second window.
