Description

Pest traps {DEVICE CATCHING VERMIN}

The present invention relates to a pest trap that attracts pests to a light source and efficiently captures them by suction means.

Pests such as flies, mosquitoes, moths, and winged tails are reluctant as unpleasant pests. These pests are not sanitary if they invade facilities such as food processing shops, restaurants, factories, retail stores, convenience stores, etc. In addition, in the case of a food processing plant, even if a pest is mixed in one product, all the products produced in the same lot may be recovered, resulting in a large economic loss. have.

For this reason, these facilities are taking measures to prevent the infestation of pests from outside from entering the building. However, in the case of pests with a habit of gathering light, even if the building is enclosed, there is a slight gap. It is often attracted to light and invades the building, and when a person enters or exits the building, it is often attached to the person and invades the building.

Insects that once intruded into a building are controlled using pesticides, but there is a problem that pesticides cannot be used to control pests in food processing facilities such as food factories, restaurants, and convenience stores.

On the other hand, the insect repellent which attracts pests by attracting lamps, draws them with a fan, and captures them in a sack, for example is proposed by patent document 1. As shown in FIG.

The insect repeller described in the said patent document 1 is comprised so that the insect pest attracted by attraction | suction etc. may be attracted by the large fan which is intermittently driven, and it will be captured in a bag.

In addition, the rear part of the insect trap is provided with a lot-shaped closing means which is expanded by the wind pressure at the same time as the rotation of the fan, and the pests attracted by the fan are trapped in the insect trap by passing through the expanded closure means. When the fan stops, the closing means is automatically closed so that the pests trapped in the sackcloth cannot escape from the sackcloth.

Also, in the above-described insect repeller, the insects gather without discomfort even when the fan is stopped by intermittently rotating the large fan, so that the flying insects can be efficiently captured, and the pheromone generated from the captured pests is surrounded by the large fan. It is effective because it can be scattered, and also has the effect of attracting a wide range of pests.

[Patent Document 1]

JP-A 6-33472

However, in the insect repeller described in the said patent document 1, since the large fan is used to attract a pest, the whole apparatus becomes large.

This is not a problem when used in orchards, barns, or chicken coops, but when used in homes, restaurants, convenience stores, etc., it is not practical because it requires a large place for installation, and the price of the insect repeller itself. There is a problem such as getting expensive.

In addition, since a large amount of air is blown through a large fan and passed through the sackcloth to the surroundings, pheromones generated from insects and pests peeled off from ticks, miscellaneous bacteria, and moths parasitic to the captured pests. The back spreads with the air in a wide range, and there is a problem that it cannot be employed in a facility that mainly handles food, or is reluctant to a user who has a disease such as an allergy.

In addition, since the closing means provided at the rear part of the insect repellent bag is formed by a breathable permeable member such as a mesh or a mesh, when opening the closing means by wind pressure, a small pest in the air adheres to and accumulates on the closing means. In some cases, automatic closing may be prevented, and pests trapped in the reptiles cannot be prevented from running away reliably, and when the reptiles are replaced, the closing means also need to be replaced, resulting in increased expenses. There is a problem.

The present invention has been made in order to improve such a problem, the purpose of providing a compact pest harvester in a simple configuration that can be easily installed in ordinary homes, restaurants, convenience stores, etc., and can efficiently capture pests in a simple configuration It is to be done.

The pest trap according to the present invention includes an upper case provided with a light source for attracting pests on a lower surface thereof, a lower case provided below the upper case, a pest inlet opening opened between the upper and lower cases, and a lower case provided in the lower case and attracted by a light source. A suction means comprising an electric fan for sucking the pests together with air, and a cylindrical case having an upper end connected to the lower portion of the suction means, and opened by the wind pressure of air sucked by the suction means, A shutter plate closed at the same time as the stop is provided, the shutter means provided in the cylindrical case, the guide means for surrounding the light source at the pest inlet, and the guide means for guiding air sucked from the pest inlet in the direction of the suction means, and the lower part of the cylindrical case. It is installed freely on and detached from the insects and also in the air discharged from the suction means. It is composed of a repellent bag having a breathable to capture the.

The pests sucked together with the air by the suction means by the above configuration are discharged into the insect trapping bag through the cylindrical case and are captured, so that the insect pests attracted to the light source can be efficiently captured, and Even if the pests contain parasitic mites and various germs, or even peeled off insects such as moths, the air that has passed through the insect sack does not spread widely. It can be used in a facility to be handled, and even if you have an allergy or other illness, you can use it with confidence.

In the case of discarding the trapped pests, by turning off the suction means, the upper surface of the cylindrical case is closed by the shutter plate which has been opened so that the insects escape to the suction means even if the suction means loses the suction force. Since it is possible to prevent this by the shutter plate, even if there is a surviving pest among the pests trapped in the insect repellent bag, it is possible to reliably prevent escape from the insect repellent bag, and that the pests adhere to and accumulate on the shutter plate. It is very economical as compared with exchanging conventional insect repellent bag and closing means at the same time.

In addition, since the entire insect trap can be manufactured in a small size, it can be easily installed in a general home, a restaurant, a convenience store, etc., in which the installation space is limited, and because the configuration is simple, it can be provided at low cost.

The insect trap of the present invention forms the shutter plate with a lightweight thin plate, and also fixes the eccentric position of the shutter plate to the rotating shaft to support both ends of the rotating shaft to the cylindrical case so that the shutter plate rotates around the rotating shaft. On the eccentric side of the shutter plate, a balancer for returning the shutter plate in the horizontal direction is provided.

The shutter means can be obtained at low cost because it is not necessary to provide the opening and closing means for returning the shutter plate to the closed position at the time of stopping operation.

The pest trap of the present invention is formed by a plurality of annular guide plates having a tapered surface that is sequentially inclined low toward the center side, and a plurality of struts that support the guide plates, and the finger guides each of the guide plates. Adhered to the holding at intervals that do not enter easily.

According to the above configuration, since the outside air around the pest inlet can be guided efficiently to the suction means by each guide plate, the insect trapping efficiency is improved, and the touch of a finger or the like on the light source or the electric fan can be prevented. High safety

The pest trap of the present invention is provided with a corrugated box-shaped cover covering the periphery of the insect repellent bag in the lower case.

By the above structure, unpleasant pests such as flies, mosquitoes, moths, and wing tails trapped in the sackcloth by the cover are not easily seen from the outside, thereby reducing the discomfort.

According to the pest trapping device of the present invention, even if the air passing through the collecting sack contains ticks and various germs parasitic to the pests, or the peeled off portions of pests such as moths, the air that has passed through the insect stalks Since it is not discharged out of the box body, it can be employed in a facility that mainly handles food, and even a user with a disease such as allergies can use it with confidence.

In addition, since the entire pest collector can be manufactured in a small size, it can be easily installed in a general home, a restaurant, a convenience store, etc., in which the installation space is limited, and can be provided at low cost because of its simple configuration.

As shown in FIG. 2, each guide plate 13a consists of a tapered annular plate which inclines so that a round hole 13e may be opened in the center, and in turn becomes lower from the outer peripheral edge side to the round hole 13e side. The guide plate 13a is spaced apart and fixed to the struts 13b at approximately equal intervals, so that children's fingers do not enter, and so that relatively large pests such as moths can invade. It is set.

As for the suction means 5 provided in the lower case 3, the fan 5c which is rotated by the electric motor 5b is provided in the casing 5a, and the upper surface of the casing 5a is made into the lower case 3 The pest which is fixed to the lower surface of the supporting plate 3a and attracted by the light source 12 and intruded from the pest inlet 4 is lowered by the suction means 5 by the fan 5c which is rotated by the electric motor 5b. Is sucked into the cylindrical casing 6a of the shutter means 6 provided in the chamber.

The shutter means 6 consists of the cylindrical case 6a and the shutter plate 6b provided in the cylindrical case 6a, and the upper end of the cylindrical case 6a has a casing 5a of the suction means 5. It is connected to the lower surface.

As shown in Fig. 3, the shutter plate 6b of the shutter means 6 is made of a disc of a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical case 6a, and is entirely made of a thin plate made of a lightweight material such as plastic. The position eccentric from the center is fixed to the rotating shaft 6c.

Both ends of the rotating shaft 6c are supported by the cylindrical case 6a so as to be horizontal, and the shutter plate 6b is free to rotate about the rotating shaft 6c, and on both ends of the rotating shaft 6c, A spherical spacer 6d is formed so as to form a small gap therebetween so that the outer circumferential edge of the shutter plate 6b does not contact the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical case 6a.

Moreover, the balancer 6e is provided in the shutter plate 6b at the eccentric side.

The balancer 6e returns the shutter plate 6b whose eccentric position is supported by the rotation shaft 6c to the horizontal position. When the suction means 5 is stopped and the inside of the cylindrical case 6a becomes windless, the shutter The plate 6b can automatically return to a horizontal position, and the stopper 6f which stops the shutter plate 6b which abuts on the shutter plate 6b in the horizontal position on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical case 6a. Is installed to protrude.

In the cylindrical case 6a of the shutter means 6, a locking portion 6g protrudes from the lower outer circumference, and an opening 15a of the insect repellent bag 15 hangs on the locking portion 6g. It is stopped.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fastening part 6g consists of the protrusion line which protruded in the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical case 6a, the recessed groove etc. which are not shown, and the opening part 15a of the repellent bag 15 is shown. By stopping the opening portion 15a by a stopper means 15b, such as a rubber band, previously inserted into the shell, the repellent bag 15 does not fall off even when the wind blower is subjected to wind pressure from the suction means 5. It is.

The insect repellent bag 15 is formed in the shape of a bag by a material having air permeability, such as a thin mesh or a nonwoven fabric, in which a small pest does not escape, and can be disposed of together with the captured pest.

On the other hand, a cover 16 having a corrugated box shape is provided below the lower case 3.

The cover 16 covers the periphery of the insect repellent bag 15 so that the pests trapped in the insect repellent bag 15 are not visible from the outside, and is formed with a soft resin to have a diameter substantially the same as that of the lower case 3, The lower part of the insect repellent bag 15 is set to an invisible length when it is extended.

In addition, when replacing the insect repellent bag 15, as shown in FIG. 6, the insect repellent bag 15 can be replaced easily.

Next, the operation of the insect trap will be described. As a place where the insect trap is installed, it is difficult to cause discomfort to a person or place where it is difficult for pests to be mixed with food or products in a general household, a food factory, a restaurant, a convenience store, etc. It is suitable for places, and can produce a small size of the insect trap itself, so it is most suitable for general households, restaurants, convenience stores, etc., where installation space is limited. Of course, you can install.

In the installation of the pest trap in the building, the light source 12 installed on the upper part of the main body 1 is installed in the upper case 2 so that the pests gathered in the luminaire mounted on the ceiling can be near the ceiling. A string 8 is attached to one hanging hole 9 and the main body 1 is suspended from the ceiling or the like.

When the installation of the main body 1 is completed, the corrugated box-shaped cover 16 provided in the lower part of the lower case 3 is shrunk to the position shown in FIG. 6, and the opening part 15a of the prepared bag 15 is prepared previously. To the outer periphery of the lower end side of the cylindrical case 6a, and the outer periphery of the opening 15a is protruded to the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical case 6a by a fastening means 15b such as a rubber band. By stopping on 6 g of stops, even if the wind pressure acts downward from the inside of the insect trap 15 from the suction means 5, it can prevent that the insect trap 15 falls off.

After the installation of the insect repellent bag 15 is completed, when the cover 16 is extended to its original position and the power switch installed in the middle of the power cord 10 is turned on, the light source 12 is turned on and the suction means The electric motor 5b of (5) rotates, and air blowing by the fan 5c is started.

Since the fan 5c is rotated by the electric motor 5b, the air around the light source 12 is sucked into the lower case 3 by the suction means 5, so that the air near the ceiling is introduced into the pest inlet 4 Is inhaled from.

The pest inlet 4 is provided with a plurality of guide plates 13a inclined downward at substantially equal intervals in the vertical direction, and the air sucked into the pest inlet 4 is guided by the guide plate 13a. Since it is rectified by the flow in the downward direction, even when the suction means 5 having a small suction capacity can efficiently introduce the outside air around the pest inlet 4, the air drawn into the pest inlet 4 is guided. Since it is accelerated by the rectifying action of 13a and sucked by the suction means 5, it becomes possible to suck the air around the light source 12 substantially uniformly.

In addition, since the light source 12 uses a light bulb such as a fluorescent lamp that generates attracted light having a favorite wavelength, the pest light source 12 is attracted to the lighting fixture installed in the building and is also attracted to the light source 12 that enters the building. When it reaches the vicinity of (12), it is sucked by the suction means 5 together with the air sucked into the pest inlet 4.

On the other hand, the shutter means 6 provided below the suction means 5 is the air pressure of the air blown by the fan 5c to the shutter plate 6b which has been closed by the action of the balancer 6e so far (Fig. 5). When the arrow C) is received, the pest that is attracted together with the air by the suction means 5 is opened through the inside of the cylindrical case 6a because the pest is attracted with the air by the suction means 5. 15) Only the pests are trapped by the insect repellent bag 15 formed by the mesh, nonwoven fabric, etc., and the air passes through the insect repellent bag 15 as shown by the arrow D of FIG. Since it is discharged into the building from the lower opening of the), pests attracted to the light source 12 can be efficiently captured in the insect repellent bag 15.

If pests collect in the trapping bag 15 while driving for a long time, the pests trapped in the bagging bag 15 are disposed of for each of the bagging bags 15. (12) and the suction means 5 are turned off, the blowing by the suction means 5 is stopped, and the shutter plate 6b which has been in the open position by the wind pressure so far is moved to the horizontal position by the action of the balancer 6e. It rotates and the upper surface opening of the cylindrical case 6a is closed by the shutter plate 6b.

As a result, the shutter plate 6b prevents the insect pests from escaping to the suction means 5, which has stopped aspiration by turning off even if a part of the pests captured by the insect repellent bag 15 survives. Among the pests trapped in 15), surviving pests can be reliably prevented from escaping from the sackcloth 15.

When the light source 12 is turned off and the suction means 5 is completely stopped, the opening 16a of the sack 15 is shrunk while the cover 16 is shrunk to the position shown in FIG. 6. ), The trapping bag 15 is removed from the lower part of the cylindrical case 6a while being adjusted by hand, and the trapping means 15b catches by closing the opening 15a of the bagging bag 15 in a closed state. It is possible to dispose of each reptile bag 15 without missing one pest.

If the new insect repellent bag 15 is installed in the lower part of the cylindrical case 6a, the cover 16 is extended to the position shown in FIG. 1, and the operation | movement of a pest trap is started again, and a pest will be captured continuously. It becomes possible.

In addition, in the said embodiment, although the cover 16 was formed in the corrugation box shape, the same effect is acquired even if it installs the cylindrical cover which slides up and down along the outer peripheral surface of the lower case 3. As shown in FIG.

Moreover, although the example which installed the power switch in the middle of the power cord 10 was demonstrated, you may make it install the power switch in a part of the main body 1, for example, the lower case 3. As shown in FIG.
