Abstract

A mosquito killer includes a sonar module to detect a location of a mosquito, a low-power laser gun to emit a laser beam, a first reflecting mirror, a second reflecting mirror, and a controller. The first reflecting mirror reflects the laser beam to the second reflecting mirror. The second reflecting mirror is rotatable, and the controller is configured for receiving the location of the mosquito from the sonar module and controlling the second reflecting mirror to rotate to aim the laser beam to kill the mosquito.

Claims

1. A mosquito killer, comprising:

a sonar module to detect a location of a mosquito;

a low-power laser gun to emit a laser beam;

a first reflecting mirror;

a second reflecting mirror; and

a controller, the first reflecting mirror reflecting the laser beam to the second reflecting mirror, the second reflecting mirror being rotatable, the controller being configured for receiving the location of the mosquito from the sonar module and controlling the second reflecting mirror to rotate to aim the laser beam to the mosquito.

2. The mosquito killer of claim 1, wherein the sonar module comprises a sound transmitter and a sound receiver, the sound transmitter is configured for emitting a pulse of sound, and the sound receiver is configured for receiving a reflection of the pulse.

3. The mosquito killer of claim 1, wherein the sonar module is activated by the controller.

4. The mosquito killer of claim 1, wherein the low-power laser gun comprises an infrared laser diode to emit the laser beam.

5. The mosquito killer of claim 1, wherein the low-power laser is activated to emit the laser beam by the controller when the controller receives the location of the mosquito.

6. The mosquito killer of claim 1, further comprising an optical fiber module to direct the laser beam from the low-power laser gun to the first reflecting mirror.
