Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for diffusing insecticides and insect repellents (herein, these are collectively referred to as "pesticides"), and a method for accommodating insecticides diffused by this method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for diffusing an insecticide for controlling pests such as cockroaches in a kitchen or the like, and a container for accommodating the insecticide diffused in the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Kitchens are rich in water and food, and have an appropriate temperature throughout the year due to heat generated from the kitchen facilities.

As described above, in order to prevent pests such as cockroaches from breeding in a kitchen, cockroaches have been conventionally disposed in the kitchen, or insecticides are sprayed in the kitchen to prevent cockroaches and the like. The removal has been done.

[0004] In spraying such a pesticide, conventionally, a liquid pesticide is sprayed together with the compressed gas by using an aerosol or the like filled with the pesticide in the can together with the compressed gas, or the insecticide is spread over the whole room. In the case of dispersing the pesticide, for example, smoke containing an insecticide component is generated by a fumigant and the smoke is filled in the kitchen, or the insecticide is heated and evaporated by a heater, and the evaporated pesticide is used. May be spread on the airflow generated by a fan motor or the like as necessary.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned method of spraying or dispersing pesticides, when an aerosol is used, the pesticides can be sprayed by a relatively simple operation. In order to enable the above, the insecticide and the compressed gas need to be enclosed in a spray can having a relatively complicated structure. Therefore, the insecticide which is provided by being encapsulated through a complicated process in a spray can having such a complicated structure is expensive.

[0006] Moreover, this spray can cannot spray the pesticide when the filled compressed gas or the pesticide is completely consumed, and is discarded as garbage without being reused. And has the disadvantage of being uneconomical.

[0007] In addition, spraying of insecticides by aerosol,
It is performed directly on visible cockroaches, or by spraying insecticides on places that can be a cockroach passage, and is usually not intended to spread insecticides throughout the room Absent. Therefore, it may not be effective for cockroaches lurking in the shadows and cockroaches living without passing through places where the insecticide has been sprayed.

[0008] On the other hand, when fumes are used to fill the kitchen with smoke containing insecticide components, the insecticide effectively acts on cockroaches and the like that are spread all over the kitchen and hidden behind objects. However, once fumigation is started, it cannot be easily interrupted or stopped, and it is not possible to enter the kitchen for a relatively long time before the insecticide components act on cockroaches. This cannot be done casually.

On the other hand, when the liquid pesticide is heated and evaporated by a heater or the like to evaporate and diffuse, and if necessary, the vaporized pesticide is diffused by an air current generated by a fan motor or the like, it is necessary to disperse the insecticide in a kitchen. Of the insecticide can be diffused to every corner of the device, and the spread of the insecticide can be started by the operation of turning on and off the switch and the relatively simple operation using a timer or the like provided in such a device. Or can be stopped, so that the insecticide can be spread relatively easily. Accordingly, the activity of the pests and the like is preferably active, and there is an advantage that the insecticide can be diffused by using no people in the kitchen, for example, at night, outside business hours, etc., and the pests can be easily removed. .

However, when the insecticide is diffused by this method, a special device having a heater, a fan motor, and the like as described above is required, and since this device is relatively expensive, it can be obtained. With the financial burden of doing so.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages in the prior art, and requires expensive equipment,
It is possible to spread the insecticide to every corner of the kitchen without using equipment, etc., to start and stop the diffusion of the insecticide very easily, and to circulate the diffused insecticide in the kitchen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for dispersing pesticides that can be performed.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a container for storing insecticides which has a relatively simple structure and can be used repeatedly. The purpose is to enable the diffusion of insecticides.

In this document, these are collectively referred to as “refrigerators”). A refrigerator 52 including a compressor 52 of a cooling medium and a driving unit of the compressor 52 such as a motor 53 is housed in, for example, a casing. Inlet 54 for taking in cooling air for cooling heat generated when a compressor or a motor is driven.
And an exhaust port 56 for discharging the heat-exchanged air introduced through the intake port 54 to the outside of the machine.
Note that cooling air generating means such as a cooling fan 58 for generating an air flow for introducing outside air through the intake port 54 and discharging the heat-exchanged air to the outside through the exhaust port 56 is provided. The purpose is to diffuse the insecticide into the room in which the refrigerator is installed, for example, in the kitchen, by using the air flow constantly generated by the cooling fan 58 and the like.

Therefore, in the method for diffusing an insecticide according to the present invention, the insecticide is vaporized and mixed into the air stream in order to spread the insecticide on the air stream generated by the cooling fan 58 of the refrigerator 50. For this purpose, an insecticide container 10 is used.

The cooling air inlet 5 in this specification
4 and the exhaust port 56 are not only provided in a casing directly surrounding the refrigerator cooling device including the compressor 52, the motor 53 and the like, but also, for example, surrounding the compressor, the motor, and the cooling fan by a casing or the like. When a unit of the cooling device is formed in another device and the unit of the cooling device is housed in another device, the air formed on the wall of another device housing the unit of the cooling device is formed. The formation position is not limited as long as it can also introduce cooling air into the cooling device or discharge the cooling air.

In FIG. 1, the container 1 for containing the insecticide of the present invention is shown.
0 has a box shape, and has an inlet 11 for introducing air into the housing container 10 formed in the box shape, and an outlet 12 for discharging air introduced into the housing container 10 through the inlet 11. Have. The inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are formed, for example, by forming a plurality of openings in the wall surface of the container.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in which the storage container 10 is formed in a box shape, the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are formed on opposing wall surfaces of the storage container 10. 12 is not limited to being formed on the opposite wall surface of the storage container 10, and may be formed on an adjacent wall surface, and the air introduced into the storage container 10 through the inlet 11 is The formation position is not limited as long as it is a position that passes through the space 15 and is discharged from the outlet 12.

A vaporizable insecticide is contained in the inner space 15 of the container 10, and the vaporized insecticide in the container 10 is discharged from the outlet 12 on the air flow passing through the container 10. Is done.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, as an example, an insecticide obtained by uniformly impregnating dichloroboss (DDVP) into a resin plate 13 or the like is used as the insecticide. The resin plate 13 impregnated with the insecticide
Are suspended in the container 10 at predetermined intervals so that the vaporized insecticide can be mixed into the airflow passing between the resin plates 13.

The insecticide used in the above embodiment is the one impregnated in the resin plate 13, and the resin plate 13 impregnated with the insecticide is suspended in a plurality of containers 10. If the insecticide can be vaporized in the container 10 and dissolved in the airflow passing through the internal space 15 of the container 10,
The insecticide may be housed in the housing container 10 in any state. For example, the insecticide dissolved in a solvent may be impregnated in a non-woven fabric or the like and placed in the housing container 10 for housing.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an example is shown in which a plurality of resin plates 13 impregnated with an insecticide are suspended at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the container 10.
The number of the resin plates 13 suspended in the storage container 10 may be smaller, such as one or two.

However, when accommodating a plurality of resin plates 13 as shown in FIG. 1, the resin plate 13 has a large surface area as a whole, and is easy to vaporize the insecticide, and it takes a long time to complete the diffusion of the insecticide. Time can be reduced.

In this container 10, preferably, at least one of the wall surfaces on which the above-described inlet 11 or outlet 12 is formed can be provided with a mounting means made of a magnet 17, an adhesive tape or the like. Is provided with a magnet 17 on the inner wall of the side surface on which the outlet 12 is formed.
Can be attached to the outer wall of the refrigerator 50 by magnetic attraction (see FIG. 2).

When the outlet 12 of the container 10 and the air inlet 54 of the refrigerator 50 are positioned at the same height in a state where the container 10 is placed on the floor, the magnet 17
And mounting means such as adhesive tape are not always necessary,
The outlet 12 of the container 10 is simply connected to the inlet 54 of the refrigerator 50.
May be simply placed on the floor in contact with the floor.

When the container 10 is placed on a table or the like and the position of the outlet 12 is adjusted to the same height as the intake port 54 of the refrigerator 50, the mounting of the magnet 17 and the adhesive tape is similarly performed. Means need not necessarily be provided.

Further, the container 10 is used for storing or exchanging the insecticide in the container 10.
A door 18 and a lid are provided to open the space 15 therein, and in this embodiment, the entire side wall of the storage container 10 in which the entrance 11 is formed constitutes the door 18 and the entire surface on which the entrance 11 is formed. Is configured to be openable.

The container 10 configured as described above is
The insecticide is diffused by being attached to the refrigerator 50 at the intake port 54 or the exhaust port 56 provided in the refrigerator 50.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the container 10 is attached to the intake port 54 of the refrigerator 50 as an example.

Before mounting on the outer wall of the refrigerator 50, the door 18 provided on the container 10 is first opened to open the container 1
The insecticide is accommodated in the container 10 by suspending the resin plate 13 impregnated with the insecticide in the container 0.

Thereafter, the door 18 which has been opened is closed, and the outlet 12 formed in the container 10 is formed on the outer wall of the refrigerator 50 so as to be located in the chamber in which the cooling means including the compressor 52 and the motor 53 are stored. When the storage container 10 is brought into contact with the outer wall of the refrigerator 50 while being aligned with the intake port 54, the storage container 10 is moved by the magnetic force of the magnet 17.
And is fixed at this position.

A cooling fan 58 provided in the refrigerator 50
When the air is sucked into the refrigerator 50 through the air inlet 54 by the rotation of the air, the air in the housing container 10 is sucked from the outlet 12 of the housing container 10 arranged in contact with the air inlet 54, The internal space 15 of the storage container 10 has a negative pressure.
Therefore, outside air is introduced from the entrance 11 of the storage container 10, and an airflow that passes through the internal space 15 of the storage container 10 from the entrance 11 to the exit 12 of the storage container 10 is generated.

As described above, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 58 of the refrigerator 50 is mixed with the insecticide evaporated from the resin plate 13 when passing between the resin plates 13. And
The air containing the vaporized insecticide is introduced into the refrigerator 50 through the air inlet 54.

The air containing the insecticide thus introduced into the refrigerator 50 passes through a predetermined flow path in the refrigerator 50 to cool the compressor 52, the motor 53, and the like. Is discharged out of the refrigerator 50 via the.

The air discharged outside the refrigerator 50 contains the vaporized insecticide and is discharged from the exhaust port 56 by the action of the cooling fan 58. Therefore, the insecticide contained in the discharged air circulates in the kitchen along with the flow of the discharged air and is diffused throughout the kitchen.

As described above, in the method of the present invention for dispersing insecticides, the cooling fan 58 of the refrigerator 50 is used, and the insecticide is discharged into the kitchen by the airflow generated by the cooling fan 58. Therefore, as compared with the case where the insecticide is simply evaporated in the kitchen, the evaporated insecticide spreads to all corners of the kitchen earlier and exhibits a suitable insecticidal effect in a relatively short time.

In the embodiment described above, the storage container 1 of the present invention is connected to the intake port 54 of the refrigerator 50.
Although the example in which 0 is attached is shown, the container 10 may be attached to the outlet 56 of the refrigerator 50 and used.

In this case, the opening described as the inlet 11 of the container 10 in the above-described embodiment is the outlet of the container 10, and the opening described as the outlet 12 is the inlet.

As described above, when the storage container 10 is attached to the exhaust port 56 of the refrigerator 50, the air that has been heat-exchanged in the refrigerator 50 and is heated is introduced into the storage container 10. This has the advantage that the insecticide impregnated in the soil becomes easier to evaporate, and is effective, for example, when the ambient temperature is lowered in winter or the like and it is difficult to evaporate the insecticide.

[0045] Thus, preferably, the insecticide can be diffused by utilizing the absence of a person in the kitchen, for example, at night or after business hours, so that the pests can be easily controlled.

The compressor 52 in the refrigerator 50,
In addition, the vicinity of driving means such as a motor 53 for driving the compressor is constantly heated by heat generated from the compressor 52 and the motor 53 and has a temperature suitable for cockroach breeding, so that cockroaches are easily concentrated at the position. Therefore, when the storage container 10 is located at the intake port 54 of the refrigerator 50 as described above, there is also an advantage that cockroaches that gather at this position can be particularly intensively eliminated.

As described above, the dispersal of the insecticide can be easily stopped by removing the container 10 attached to the refrigerator 50, and the detached container 10 By re-attaching to the outer wall of the refrigerator 50, the diffusion of the insecticide can be resumed, and the start and stop of the diffusion of the insecticide can be performed extremely easily. New resin plate 1 impregnated with a pesticide.
Replacing the insecticide with 3 makes it possible to easily replenish the insecticide, and the replenishment of the insecticide makes it possible to repeat the diffusion of the insecticide semipermanently, which is extremely economical.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container of the present invention has been described as a box-shaped container.
The shape is not limited to a box shape, and can be formed into various shapes.

[0049]

According to the above-described structure of the present invention, in the method for diffusing an insecticide according to the present invention, the insecticide can be formed by a very simple operation of attaching a container having a relatively simple structure to the outer wall of the refrigerator. And a method for dispersing insecticides, which makes it possible to diffuse and spread the insecticide in the kitchen, and to spread and disperse the insecticide very easily in the kitchen. We were able to.

The container for the insecticide used in the above method has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and can be repeatedly used semipermanently by replacing the insecticide, and is economical.

When a magnet is used as an attaching means for attaching the container to the wall of the refrigerator, it can be easily attached to and detached from the outer wall of the refrigerator, and can be attached and detached many times. Along with
Conveniently, the spread of the insecticide can be easily started or stopped with this attachment and detachment.
