Description

  The present invention relates to a pest intrusion prevention device for preventing or exterminating a pest invading a specific area.

The problem of pests is that mental stress is caused by the lack of sleep due to noise at night, disturbing human health, or just feeling that there are pests in the living area. In addition, pests from harmful animals can cause off-flavor and cause wood to corrode, which is not only unsanitary, but also can be infected by viruses that lurk in the feces. Therefore, preventing and eliminating pests from entering a building such as a house is an internal problem.
Conventionally, as a method of preventing harmful monsters such as bats from invading into specific areas and exterminating the harmful monsters once settled, a method of physically eliminating the approach path using a net or the like A method of sampling drugs to be performed has been performed.

  However, it may be difficult to physically eliminate the approach path depending on the structure and situation of the area where it is desired to prevent the invading pests. In addition, the medicine may be harmful to human beings, and may be washed away by rain or the like, and may be less effective due to deterioration over time.

  Therefore, various technical proposals have been made conventionally. For example, it has a wave generator that generates ultrasonic waves with a frequency that interferes with the bat territory, and a wave output unit that applies the ultrasonic waves generated by the wave generator to the building and wave-shields the building. There is a bat intrusion prevention device that includes means for receiving the wave of the ultrasonic wave applied to the building by the wave output unit and displaying the wave reception result (see Patent Document 1). . The bat intrusion prevention device disclosed in such technical literature provides a building with a wave generator that generates ultrasonic waves having a frequency that interferes with the bat's territory, and an ultrasonic wave generated by the wave generator. And a wave output unit for wave-shielding the building.

However, the method of using sound such as ultrasonic waves has a problem that the bats get used to it and cannot escape. In Patent Document 1, the frequency is changed in order to prevent the bat from becoming familiar, but this is not sufficient.

In addition, there is provided an automatic repelling device for small pests that repels small pests such as mice that enter a house such as a kitchen by applying stress using multiple threats (patent) Reference 2). Such a technique is a flashing of a light emitting unit that emits light triggered by a detection signal transmitted from a small pest detection sensor that senses the approach of a small pest, and one or more reciprocating motions by a driving means using this detection signal as a trigger The harshness and stress are given to small beasts by the sound and vibration caused by hitting the installation surface by the arm 6, and the repelling effect is exhibited.

However, if a beating sound that causes fear of harmful animals is generated inside the building, it will be transmitted to humans as an unpleasant sound or vibration, so even if it is effective in an unmanned warehouse, It is not suitable for use in buildings where work is performed.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention will be described with reference to the following preferred embodiments, but can be modified in many ways without departing from the scope of the present invention, and other embodiments than the present embodiment can be used. be able to. Accordingly, all modifications within the scope of the present invention are included in the claims.

<Configuration>
One embodiment of the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic views when the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention is installed in an attic, FIG. 1A is a perspective view, FIG. 1B is a front view, and an example of a pest 15. Is a diagram depicting bats and mice.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention includes a blower 10 for blowing wind W on the pest 15, a sensor 20 for detecting the intrusion of the pest 15, and the sensor 20 is harmful. And a control means for operating the blower 10 when the invasion of the beast 15 is detected.

  Here, a timer 30 may be provided instead of the sensor 20, or both the sensor 20 and the timer 30 may be provided. In FIG. 1 (b), the air blower 10 is provided with a timer 30, and a fragrance supply means 60 of a type that receives the supply of the fragrance K from an external tank 70 is provided. The specification which can set the operating condition etc. of the air blower 10 or the light irradiation means 120 with the operation panel 40 installed in FIG. It is also effective to provide a command by key input by providing a keyboard and a liquid crystal screen. In this case, the operation panel 40 includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) or a sequencer (registered trademark), and the timer function includes a timer IC (555) or the like mounted on the PLC. It is simple to use. The control contents programmed in advance are expressed and executed by switching the switches arranged on the control panel 40. In addition, the pest intrusion prevention device 5 according to the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and can be changed within the scope that is the same as the creation of the technical idea of the present invention from the contents described in this document. Shall. Therefore, for example, the operation command may be directly operated by the devices without using the pipe 80, the wiring 85, or the like, and the pest intrusion prevention device 5 according to the present invention is performed by the wireless remote controller 45. It may be configured to be installed only in a room or the like.

  One blower 10 may be provided, or a plurality of blowers 10 may be provided. If a plurality of blowers 10 are provided and the installation area is rectangular in a plan view, as shown in FIG. It is effective to arrange the pest intrusion prevention device 5 at each of the four corners so that the air discharge ports have different directions and to blow the wind W on the pest 15 with certainty.

  As the blower 10, a commercially available blower can be used, but a blower that can generate a strong wind W as much as possible is preferable. This is because the harmful animal 15 can be easily driven out of a specific area by blowing a strong wind W against the harmful animal 15 to the harmful animal 15. As such a blower, for example, TURBIN BLOWER PD (HB-400PD) manufactured by Seisho Products Co., Ltd. can be suitably used.

  Any sensor 20 can be used as long as it can detect the intrusion of the pest 15. For example, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a Doppler sensor, or the like can be suitably used. As such a sensor 20, for example, a passive infrared detector KP6110 (manufactured by King Communication Co., Ltd.) can be used.

  Further, one or a plurality of sensors 20 can be used, and it is preferable to cover the entire area where it is desired to prevent the pest 15 from entering. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the sensor 20 may be attached to a position that easily covers the entire area, may be attached to each blower 10, or may be attached to the entire area, It may be attached to both the blowers 10.

  The sensor 20 may be a motion sensor that detects the movement of the pest 15, but is preferably a type that detects the presence rather than the movement detection. This is because in the case of the type that detects the presence, even if the pest 15 is still moving, it can be detected.

  An infrared sensor can be suitably used as the type of sensor that detects the presence. For example, in the attic where light does not always enter, the presence of the pest 15 is detected by detecting the pest 15 when the value of the detected infrared quantity is not less than a predetermined value. It can detect itself.

  However, the sensor 20 that detects the presence is not limited to the infrared sensor, and a commercially available sensor that can detect the presence of the pest 15 can be used, and the presence of the pest 15 can be detected using the infrared sensor. The detection method is not limited to the above-described method, and any existing method known as presence detection can be adopted.

  When the sensor 20 is attached to each blower 10, the sensor 20 is attached so that the blower area of each blower 10 is set as the detection range, and only the blower 10 in which the harmful animal 15 enters the blower area can be configured to operate. .

  Thereby, even if the harmful beast 15 escapes, the blower 10 to which the harmful beast 15 has escaped can be operated to drive away the harmful beast 15, and the operation of the blower 10 where the harmful beast 15 is not in the blowing area is restricted. By doing so, it is possible to reduce power costs and contribute to energy saving.

  Regarding the arrangement of the blower 10, the blower 10 can be arranged for each outer periphery of an area (hereinafter simply referred to as an intrusion prevention area) where it is desired to prevent the pest 15 from entering. As a result, the pest 15 has a property of escaping to the wall in a building or the like, so that the wind W is surely applied to the pest 15 by arranging the blower 10 along the wall that is the outer periphery of the intrusion prevention area. By spraying, the escape place of the pest 15 can be eliminated.

  Therefore, when the intrusion prevention area is a quadrangle in a top view, it may be arranged at the four corners as the arrangement around the outer periphery. In the present invention, the arrangement on the outer periphery includes the arrangement on the corners of the outer periphery.

  A timer 30 may be provided instead of the sensor 20 or in combination with the sensor 20, and the blower 10 may be operated at a time set in the timer 30. For example, the blower can be operated and stopped at the time interval set in the timer 30, the blower 10 is operated at the time set in the timer 30, and the blower 10 is stopped at the time set in the timer 30. Also good.

  Thereby, for example, even if the bat which is the pest 15 is not moving, the motion sensor cannot be detected. However, in the case of the control of the timer 30, the blower 10 is surely operated at a predetermined time. To prevent bats from nesting.

  Even when the bat enters the blind spot of the sensor 20 and the sensor 20 cannot detect the bat, or when the sensor 20 cannot detect the bat for some other reason, the blower 10 is operated by the timer control, so that the wind W Can be driven away.

  Moreover, with reference to FIG. 2, the air blower 10 may be provided with the heater 50, for example as an air heating means. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a blower provided with a heater. Thus, since the blower 10 includes the air heating means, the hot air W can be blown against the harmful animal 15, so that the harmful animal 15 can be easily driven out of the intrusion prevention area.

  Moreover, with reference to (a) of FIG. 3, the air blower 10 may be provided with the fragrance | flavor supply means 60. FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the blower provided with the fragrance supplying means 60. The fragrance supplying means 60 can supply natural plant essential oils such as eucalyptus, lemon, beech, cedar, mint, clove, ceylon nikki, cypress and camphor as a fragrance K to the blower 10.

  Thereby, the air blower 10 can blow the air containing the components of the fragrance K and blow the air against the pest 15. By inventor's earnest research, natural plant essential oils such as eucalyptus, lemon, beech, cedar, mint, clove, ceylon nikki, cypress, camphor are used as a fragrance K, and the ingredients are mixed with air to the pest 15 By spraying, it was found that the pest 15 escapes and escapes those components. In particular, it was found to be highly effective against bats.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the fragrance supply means 60 can include a tank for storing the fragrance K and supply the fragrance K to the blower 10. As shown in FIG. 3B, the fragrance K can be supplied to the blower 10 by being supplied from the tank 70 that stores the fragrance K outside by a pipe 80.

  In this way, by having the tank 70 for storing the fragrance K outside, the tank 70 can be installed in a room instead of the attic, for example, so that the tank when the fragrance K in the tank is exhausted. It becomes easy to supply the fragrance K to the. When the tank 70 is not provided, when the fragrance K is completely used, it is necessary to enter the attic and replace the fragrance supply means 60 or supply the fragrance K to the fragrance supply means 60.

  Next, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the blower 10 capable of changing the blowing direction and the sensor-equipped strobe. The blower 10 can have a blowing direction changing unit. The blowing direction changing means includes a horizontal motor 100 for rotating the blower 10 in the horizontal direction and a vertical motor 110 for rotating in the vertical direction.

  As a ventilation direction change means, it is not limited to comprising the horizontal motor 100 and the vertical motor 110, You may comprise combining a gear and a pulley with a motor, and also change a ventilation direction. Any possible configuration may be adopted.

  Moreover, you may employ | adopt the structure which detects the position of the pest 15 with the sensor 20, and blows the wind W in the direction. Thereby, no matter where the pest 15 moves, the wind W can be reliably blown to the pest 15 and the pest 15 can be driven out of the intrusion prevention area.

  Specifically, for example, an actual three-dimensional position can be calculated from a position on an image of an image captured by the infrared camera using a plurality of infrared cameras as the sensor 20. The infrared camera prepares and arranges an X-direction shooting camera, a Y-direction shooting camera, and a Z-direction shooting camera in a three-dimensional space, and correction data that associates the position on the image captured by the camera with the actual position. Prepare. As a result, the actual position can be calculated from the images captured by the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction cameras.

  Since the blower 10 is directed toward the calculated actual position by the horizontal motor 100 and the vertical motor 110, the wind W can be constantly blown to the pest 15 even if the pest 15 moves. .

  Moreover, the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention may include a timer 30. By providing the timer 30, the blower 10 can be operated for a predetermined time set in the timer 30 after the sensor 20 detects the invasion of the pest 15. As a result, the sensor 20 does not set the entire intrusion prevention area to the detection range, and even if the pest 15 enters the blind spot of the sensor 20, since the air continues for a while, it becomes easy to drive out the pest 15. As such a timer 30, for example, an all-multi timer GT3A-3AF20 (manufactured by IDEC Corporation) can be suitably used.

  Furthermore, the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention may include a light irradiation means 120 for irradiating the pest 15 with light. The light irradiation means 120 may include a sensor 130 that detects the harmful animal 15. Thereby, not only the wind W but also the strong strobe light is irradiated to the pest 15 so that the pest 15 can be surely driven out of the intrusion prevention area. As such a light irradiation means, for example, a lightning rod SS101A (manufactured by Sakamoto Electric Co., Ltd.) can be suitably used.

  By providing the light irradiation means 120 with the sensor 130, the light irradiation means may irradiate the pest 15 with light when the pest 15 is detected by the sensor independently of the blower 10, as shown in FIG. If the sensor 130 detects the pest 15 by installing the light irradiation direction of the light irradiation means 120, the air blowing direction of the blower 10, and the detection direction of the sensor 130 in the same direction, the blower 10 Air blowing and light irradiation by the light irradiation means 120 can be performed simultaneously.

<Operation>
Next, the operation of the pest intrusion prevention device 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As an example of the pest 15, for example, a case where a bat has entered the attic, which is an intrusion prevention area, will be described.

  When the bat enters the attic, the sensor 20 detects the entry of the bat. When the sensor 20 detects the entry of the bat, the control means (not shown) operates the blower 10. Thereby, since a bat is blown by the air blower 10, it will escape from an attic.

  Conventionally, ultrasonic waves, sound waves, and the like have been used to prevent the invading beast 15 from entering. In this case, at first, the beast 15 escapes but does not get used to it. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the wind W is blown, the pest 15 cannot get used to and always escapes.

  In fact, it is known that, for example, bats do not nest where wind W blows. Therefore, by blowing the wind W by the blower 10, the bats dissipate from the attic without creating a nest.

  Here, the case where the timer 30 is used instead of the sensor 20 or in combination with the sensor 20 will be described. When the blower 10 is operated at the time interval set in the timer 30, even if the bat enters the attic and stays hanging around the pillar, the blower 10 operates at a predetermined time interval and the bat escapes. become.

  Similarly, even when the blower 10 operates at the time set in the timer 30 and stops at the time set in the timer 30, the bat enters the attic and hangs on the pillar. However, since the blower 10 operates when a predetermined time comes, it is possible to reliably drive off the bats and prevent the bats from forming a nest.

  When one blower 10 is installed at each of the four corners of the attic, the edge of the attic wall is always in the irradiation range of the wind W, so the bat cannot escape to the edge of the wall and dissipates from the attic.

  By installing the blower installed at the four corners of the attic with the sensor 130 like the blower shown in FIG. 4, the sensor 130 detects the bat when the bat enters the blower area of the blower. A control device (not shown) operates the blower 10 when the sensor 130 detects a bat.

  At this time, the control device may stop the operation of the blower 10 immediately when the sensor 130 no longer detects the bat, or includes a timer 30 (not shown) to detect the bat or when the bat is detected. Then, after the bat is no longer detected, the operation of the blower 10 may be stopped after the time set by the timer 30 has elapsed.

  When control is performed to stop the operation of the blower 10 as soon as the sensor 130 no longer detects a bat, energy consumption can be suppressed and power cost can be reduced. When the timer 30 is installed and control is performed to stop the operation of the blower 10 after the time set by the timer 30 has elapsed, the bat does not escape from the intrusion prevention area but enters the blind spot of the sensor 130 Since the blast continues, the effect of dissipating bats is high. This is particularly effective when the blowing range of the blower 10 is wider than the detection range of the sensor 130.

  In this manner, by installing a plurality of blowers 10 having the sensors 130 in the entire intrusion prevention area, the sensors 130 detect the bats wherever they escape, and the air is blown by the blowers 10. This forces the bats to dissipate from the intrusion prevention area.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, by using the blower 10 provided with the light irradiation means 120, when the pest 15 is detected by the sensor 130, the light irradiation means 120 irradiates the pest 15 with light. Combined with the effect of blowing the wind W, the pest 15 can be surely driven out of the intrusion prevention area.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, by using the blower 10 capable of changing the blower direction, the direction of the blower 10 is controlled so that the air discharge port of the blower 10 always faces the position of the harmful animal 15 detected by the sensor 20. Thus, the harmful animal 15 can be surely removed.

FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating an installation example of the pest intrusion prevention device installation 5 of the present invention. Various existing methods can be adopted to detect the position of the pest 15. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, a plurality of sensors 20 may be installed, and control may be performed so that the direction of the blower 10 is directed toward the detection range of the sensor 20 that detects the pest 15. Thus, by tracking the pest 15 and blowing the wind W, even if the number of the blowers 10 is small, a high pest drive effect can be exhibited.

  Further, the use of a blower 10 equipped with a heater as shown in FIG. 2 is more effective. When the high-temperature wind W is blown, there are almost no pests 15 that can withstand this, so that it can be surely dissipated from the intrusion prevention area.

  Moreover, the effect which drives out a bat from an intrusion prevention area becomes high by using the air blower 10 provided with the fragrance | flavor supply means 60 as shown in FIG. This is because the pest 15 dislikes natural plant essential oils such as eucalyptus, lemon, beech, cedar, mint, clove, ceylon nikki, hinoki and camphor.

  Furthermore, the effects of these fragrances K enable not only the pest 15 in the attic, but also pest control, mold prevention, and decay fungi control. This is because these natural plant essential oils are known to be effective in controlling pests, preventing mold, and combating decaying fungi. As shown in FIG. 3B, the tank 70 containing the fragrance K is installed in the room instead of the attic, so that the supply of the fragrance K to the tank 70 is facilitated.
