In FIG. 1, reference numeral 31 denotes various sensors, and 32 denotes a network unit provided on the facility side. For example, the capture signals Sk1 to Skn are time-divisionally (or frequency) multiplexed every five minutes. Via the telephone network 33,
This is transmitted to the monitoring terminal device 34 provided in the monitoring facility. The monitoring terminal device 34, for example, sums up the capture signals Sk1 to Skn every 15 minutes and, when receiving the same capture signal three times, recognizes that the pest has been captured by the detection unit and issues an alarm. Inform the observer by means such as. In addition, the monitoring terminal device 34 can output the totaling result in a list by using a printer (not shown). In this case, the monitor judges whether or not the pest is captured by displaying the list.

Next, the operation of the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment will be described. In the detection unit 41 shown in FIG. 3, for example, assuming that the pest 35 is captured by the trap 11 of the detector 21, the pest 35 sticks to the trap 11. The vibration sound generated at this time is transmitted to the tube 7, further collected by the condenser microphone 3b via the pipe 10b, the tube 7 of the detector 22 and the pipe 10a, and converted into an electric signal.

The amplifier 31 amplifies the electric signal and outputs a pulse-like output signal S01 shown in FIG. 4 to the input terminal a1 of the signal converter 141 in the signal converter 5 shown in FIG. In the output signal S01 shown in FIG.
Shows waveforms when the pest 35 slightly touches the trap 11 of the detector 21 and the pest 35 is completely adhered and exposed to the trap 11 after time t3.

In FIG. 5, first, when the pulse P1 of the output signal S01 shown in FIG. 4 is input to the input terminal a1, the transistor 181 is turned on by the base current ib flowing, and the collector current ic1 passes through the resistor 191. The capacitor 201 is charged. When the charging is completed, the electric charge charged in the capacitor 201 is charged as the collector current ic2 to the capacitor 231 via the diode 211 and the resistor 221. The amount of charge to be charged at this time is the pulse P1
Is smaller than the capacitance of the capacitor 231 because the pulse width of the pulse width is small. When the charging is completed, the charge is discharged from the capacitor 231 through the discharge resistor 241 as the discharge current ic3.

Subsequently, when the pulses P2, P3,... Of the output signal S02 shown in FIG. 4 are sequentially input to the input terminal a1, the capacitor 201 is charged with the electric charge through the above-described operation. Even after the capacitor 201 is fully charged, the pulse of the output signal S02 is input, so that the collector current ic1 flows to the capacitor 231 via the diode 211 and the resistor 221. Thereby, the capacitor 231 is
The battery is fully charged in the same manner as the capacitor 201, and the collector current ic1 flows to the discharge resistor 231 and to the base of the transistor 251.

As a result, the transistor 251 and the transistor 291 are turned on, the lamp L1 is turned on, the electromagnetic coil X1 is excited, and the contact Xa1 is closed. As a result, the capture signal Sk1 changes from "1" to "0". When the capture signal Sk1 is "1", it indicates that the pest is not captured, and when it is "0", it indicates that the pest is captured.

The network unit 32 shown in FIG.
Capture signal S output from each detection unit 11-1n
k1 to Skn are read every 5 minutes and transmitted to the monitoring terminal device 34 via the telephone network 33. Then, the monitoring terminal device 34
Collects the capture signals Sk1 to Skn that are input three times every 15 minutes, and determines whether or not the pest is captured. That is, the monitoring terminal device 34 outputs the same detection signal as 3
If it is “0”, it is determined that the pest is captured by the detection unit that has output the detection signal. Otherwise, it is determined that the pest is not captured. In this case, the capture signal Sk1
Only three times are assumed to be “0”, and the monitoring terminal device 34 determines that the detection unit 11 has captured the pest, and notifies the monitoring personnel of this by an alarm or the like.

Then, the pest recovery worker goes to the facility and checks the lighting state of the lamps (L1 to L4) of the signal converter 5 shown in FIG. In this case, it is assumed that only the lamp L1 is lit, and the pest recoverer knows that the detection unit 41 has captured the pest, and goes to the ceiling where the detection unit 41 is installed. The pest 35 shown in FIG. 3 is removed. Subsequently, the pest recovery worker presses the reset switch 13 of the signal converter 5 shown in FIG. This allows
The reset switch 13 shown in FIG. 5 is opened, the excitation of the electromagnetic coil X1 is released, the contact Xa1 is turned off, and the lamp L1 is turned off.

As described above, according to the sanitary environment preserving system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the vibration at the time of capturing the pest 35 is converted into the vibration sound using air as the transmission medium by the condenser microphones 3b and 3c. Since the detection is performed, the effect that the configuration of the vibration detection can be simplified can be obtained.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and a design change or the like may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. The present invention is also included in the present invention. For example, in the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, straight tubes 7, 7,.
However, instead of these, meandering tubes 7 ', 7',... As shown in FIG. 6 may be used. Thereby, the contact area between the tubes 7 ′, 7 ′,... And the catcher 11 increases, and the sensitivity is further improved.

Further, in the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment, the examples of the detectors 21 to 24 whose lengths in the longitudinal direction are fixed as shown in FIG. 3 have been described. Without being limited, a slide mechanism may be provided on each support base 6 so that the length in the longitudinal direction can be freely changed. Thereby, it can respond to the trap 11 of an arbitrary size.

Further, in the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the vibration sounds generated by the detectors 21 to 24 are collected by the condenser microphones 3b and 3c via the pipes 10a to 10d. However, without being limited to this, a configuration in which a condenser microphone is provided for each detector without using the pipes 10a to 10d may be adopted.

Further, in the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment, the vibration of the harmful organism 35 captured by the capturer 11 is detected by the condenser microphones 3b and 3c as the vibration sound using air as a transmission medium. Although an example has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a piezoelectric element may be attached to the trap 11 to directly convert vibration into an electric signal.

In addition, in the sanitary environment maintaining system according to the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the pest recoverer presses the reset switch 13 of the signal converter 5 to reset the system. Instead, a timer may be provided in the signal converter 5 so that the signal converter 5 is automatically reset at regular intervals. Thereby, when the captured pest 35 escapes, it can be known on the monitoring terminal device 34 side.

[0042]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The effect is that quick detection of pests and accurate and quick extermination can be achieved. Further, since the vibration detecting means is formed in a meandering manner, the contact area between the capturing means and the vibration detecting means is widened, so that an effect that the vibration sound can be detected with higher sensitivity can be obtained. . Further, an effect is obtained that it is possible to know whether or not the pest has been captured remotely.
0). In addition, since the judgment result of the discriminating means is automatically reset at regular intervals, an effect is obtained that the monitoring terminal device can know that the once captured harmful organism has escaped. 11).
