As a result, fine bubbles are generated to generate bubbles. The foam generated by the foam generating means 10 is supplied to the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding means 20, and forms a flat foam lump BL on the foam holding surface 21.
As shown in FIG. 4, the foam holding means 20 is attached to a foam holding plate 22 having a flat foam holding surface 21 formed on a front surface thereof and a back surface of the foam holding plate 22 with a space therebetween. A foam generating space 24 is formed between the back surface of the foam holding plate 22 and the back plate 23. As shown in FIG. 5, a frame material 25 is arranged on the back surface side of the foam holding plate 22 along the lower edge excluding the both side edges, the upper edge, and the center portion, and the frame material 25 arranged along the lower edge.

Have been.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the foam holding means 20 is suspended from the upper frame rod 4 of the support frame 5 via a mounting member 29 so that the foam holding surface 21 is vertical. The lower end of the foam holding means 20 is accommodated in the foam generating liquid container 7, and the lower end of the foam holding means 20 is submerged in the LI in the foam generating liquid contained in the foam generating liquid container 7. An opening 26 arranged and formed at the lower end of the bubble generation space 24 is opened in the bubble generation liquid LI. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bubble generator 13 attached to the tip of the air tube 12 of the bubble generation means 10 is disposed in the bubble generation space 24 via the opening 26 of the bubble generation space 24. The air supplied from the air pump 11 is supplied to the foam generating liquid LI in the foam generating space 24 via the bubble generator 13 so as to generate bubbles in the space 24. The generated foam is guided upward in the bubble generation space 24 and fills the bubble generation space 24.
On the upper side of the bubble holding plate 22 forming the bubble holding surface 21, an opening 27 is formed along the width direction of the bubble holding plate 22 in the bubble generating space 24 and through the bubble holding surface 21 side. The bubbles filled in the bubble generation space 24 are allowed to leak from the openings 27 to the bubble holding surface 21 side. Further, an eaves plate 28 protruding from the foam holding surface 21 in a horizontal direction above the opening 27 is attached to the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding plate 22 along the width direction of the opening 27. The foam BL that intrudes from the opening 27 to the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding plate 22 from the opening 27 is sucked and held from the upper surface side, and the foam BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 is formed to have a constant thickness. Is done.
The bubbles that have leached from the opening 27 toward the bubble holding surface 21 of the bubble holding plate 22 are adsorbed by the eaves plate 28 formed above the opening 27, and a foam lump BL is formed there. The foam mass BL is greatly grown by the foam continuously supplied from the opening 27, and after the thickness of the foam mass BL becomes a thickness corresponding to the protruding length of the eaves plate 28, the vertical foam holding is performed by gravity. It slowly flows down along the surface 21. Thereby, a foam lump BL having a thickness corresponding to the protruding length of the eaves plate 28 is formed along the surface of the foam holding surface 21. The thickness of the foam mass BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 is arbitrarily set according to the size and type of the flying pest to be captured.
In the above embodiment, an eaves plate 28 set to a predetermined protruding length is formed on the foam holding surface 21 to hold a foam lump BL having a constant thickness according to the protruding length of the eaves plate 28. Although the surface 21 is formed, the thickness of the foam may be adjusted by selectively attaching the eaves plates 28 having different protruding lengths to the foam holding surface 21. Further, as shown in another embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the eaves piece 52 or the cross-section is L-shaped with respect to the mounting pieces 51 and 51 a formed on the foam holding surface 21. 6 (a) and 8 (a) from the position shown in FIG. 6 (a) and FIG. 8 (a).

According to these embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the thickness of the foam mass BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 is arbitrarily changed by adjusting the mounting position of the eaves 52, 52a. It is possible to do.
The foam holding plate 22 forming the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding means 20 of the above embodiment is made of a material such as artificial marble, which has a beautiful design on the foam holding surface 21 side. . This prevents the surroundings from being uncomfortable even during the daytime when the device is not used. Further, the foam holding surface 21 is formed with an appropriate surface roughness so that the speed at which the foam lump BL flows down along the foam holding surface 21 is made appropriate. If the surface roughness of the foam holding surface 21 cannot be set appropriately, the foam holding surface may be formed by attaching an adjusting member having an appropriate surface roughness to the foam holding surface 21 or the like. Further, vertical ribs in the vertical direction may be formed on the foam holding surface 21 at predetermined intervals so that the foam lump BL on the foam holding surface 21 is not blown off or moved in the horizontal direction by wind or the like.
Below the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding plate 22, there is formed a foam eliminating means 30 formed on the foam holding surface 21 and for eliminating bubbles of the foam lump BL that has gradually flowed downward. . 1 to 3 includes a gutter member 31 for receiving a foam lump BL flowing down along the bubble holding surface 21 at a lower portion of the bubble holding surface 21, and an upper surface of the gutter member 31. Is constituted by a liquid pump 32 for flowing the foam generation liquid LI into the liquid. The gutter member 31 is attached to the foam holding surface 21 in a state of being gently inclined from one side edge to the other side edge of the foam holding plate 22, whereby the foam mass BL flowing down along the foam holding surface 21 is removed. The lower end is received. Further, the foam generating liquid LI in the foam generating liquid container 7 is sucked by the liquid pump 32, and the foam generating liquid LI discharged from the pump 32 is supplied to one side of the gutter member 31 by the tube 33. The flow of the foam generation liquid LI is formed on the upper portion 31 from the upper side to the lower side. The foam mass BL received by the gutter member 31 is caused to lose bubbles by the foam generating liquid LI flowing on the gutter member 31 and is caused to flow toward the downstream side of the gutter member 31 to disappear.
As described above, the foam lump BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 gradually flows down along the bubble holding surface 21, and the foam lump BL having flowed down to the lower end of the bubble holding surface 21 is transferred to the bubble holding surface 21. By actively eliminating or flowing the foam lump BL at the lower end of 21, the foam lump BL flows down into the foam generating liquid container 7, and the foam is filled in the foam generating liquid container 7. Can be prevented, and the bubbles whose insect trapping power has weakened due to the elapse of time flowing down along the foam holding surface 21 are positively disappeared, and a new bubble having a strong insect repellent power is formed on the bubble holding surface 21. To form a foam lump BL
In the above embodiment, the gutter member 31 in which the foam generation liquid LI sucked from the inside of the foam generation liquid container 7 by the liquid pump 32 installed on the installation leg 2 of the support frame 5 is inclined via the tube 33 is arranged. The bubble generating liquid LI is supplied from the upper side to the lower side of the gutter so as to make bubbles disappear or to flow down along the gutter member 31. The other embodiment shown in FIG. The nozzle 34 is formed along the width direction of the foam holding surface 21 at a predetermined distance from the surface of the foam holding surface 21 as shown in FIG. The foam of the foam lump BL that has flowed down to the lower end of the foam holding surface 21 by being sprayed toward the lower end of the foam holding surface 21 may be made to disappear.
Further, in the flying pest trapping device 1 of the present embodiment, the foam lump BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 of the foam holding means 20 is irradiated with light of a specific wavelength to reduce the flying pest to the lump BL. There is provided a light irradiating means 40 for attracting light. The light irradiating means 40 is constituted by a fluorescent lamp 44 held via a fixture 43 on a lower surface side of a frame 42 attached to the upper frame rod 4 of the support frame 5 via an attachment member 41. I have. As the fluorescent lamp 44, any light source can be selected according to the type of insect pest to be captured, such as a fluorescent lamp that emits light having a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm, to which flying pests such as flies and flies react sensitively. . By providing the light irradiating means 40 and irradiating the foam lump BL with light as described above, the entire foam lump BL shines, and the flying pest is attracted to the light, so that the flying pest can be more effectively captured. It becomes possible.
The above-mentioned foam generating means 10 can be provided with an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the flow rate of air supplied from the air pump 11 to the air bubble generator 13. The adjusting mechanism is configured such that an adjustable flow rate control valve such as a throttle valve is formed in the middle of the tube 12 from the air pump 11 to the bubble generator 13, or the air pump 11 is configured to be driven intermittently by a timer. This makes it possible to adjust the amount of foam generated in the foam generation space 24 of the foam holding means 20. If the amount of generated foam is too large, the action of the foam disappearance means 30 to eliminate the foam of the foam mass BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 cannot be made in time, and the foam mass BL on the foam holding surface 21 becomes enormous. Since the foam generation liquid container 7 is spilled from the gutter member 31 into the foam generation liquid container 7 and overflows with the foam, the foam mass BL is uniformly formed on the foam holding surface 21 by the adjusting mechanism. Adjust the amount of foam generated.
If the amount of foam generated by the foam generating means 10 is adjusted so that the foam mass BL is formed uniformly on the foam holding surface 21 as described above, the foam mass BL is added to the foam holding surface 21 during the initial operation. It takes a long time until the pits are formed. In another embodiment shown in FIG. 11, a pair of bubble sensors 14 for detecting a weak current flowing through the bubbles by contacting the bubbles are formed on the bubble holding surface 21, and the detection signal of the bubble sensor 14 is used to control the air pump 11. The control unit 15 controls the air pump 11 so as to switch the operation of the air pump. The controller 15 fully drives the air pump 11 to generate a large amount of bubbles in the initial stage of operation when no foam is formed on the foam holding surface 21, and a foam is formed on the foam holding surface 21. Is detected by the sensor 14, the operation of the air pump 11 is controlled by the detection signal so that the air pump 11 is operated intermittently by a timer.
As described above, by forming the foam sensor 14 on the foam holding surface 21 and switching the operation of the air pump 11 according to the bubble detection signal of the foam sensor 14, the foam mass BL is formed on the foam holding surface 21. In the early stage of operation of the flying pest trapping device 1, a foam lump BL can be quickly formed on the foam holding surface 21. Further, the foam lump BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 is destroyed by wind or large beetles. In this case, the air pump 11 is switched to the full drive, so that the foam lump BL can be quickly supplemented.
In the flying pest trapping device 1 according to the above embodiment, the flat bubble holding surface 21 is formed on one side of the foam holding means 20, but the flying pest trapping device 1a according to another embodiment shown in FIG. Then, the foam holding means 20a arranges the foam holding plates 22 on both sides of the frame material 25 forming the foam generation space 24, and forms flat foam holding surfaces 21 on the outer surfaces of both the foam holding plates 22, respectively. The foam holding means 20a is suspended by the upper frame rod 4 of the support frame 5 to form a planar foam lump BL on the foam holding surfaces 21 on both sides of the foam holding means 20a. Fluorescent lamps 44 for irradiating light are installed on both sides of the support frame 5 so that the foam BL on both sides can be irradiated with light. In the device having the foam holding surfaces 21 formed on both sides as described above, it is possible to effectively catch a wider range of flying pests by installing the bubble holding surface 21 at the center of a wide place such as a garden or an orchard.
Further, in the flying pest trapping device 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the foam holding means 20 having the vertical foam holding surface 21 is vertically suspended and supported on the support frame 5 which is erected on the installation leg 2. It is configured to be installed on the ground or floor via the support leg 2. However, as shown in the flying insect pest trapping device 1 b according to another embodiment shown in FIG. The foam generating liquid container 7 was integrally attached to the lower end portion of the foam holding means 20 having formed therein and the foam generating space 24 so that the lower end portion of the holding means 20 was accommodated, and was formed on the upper portion of the holding means 20. The mounting holes 55 may be hung on nails or pins 56 formed on the wall surface W or the like so that the mounting holes 55 can be mounted on the wall surface W and used. In this case, the frame 42 holding the fluorescent lamp 44 for irradiating the foam mass BL with light is also directly attached to the upper end of the foam holding means 20. Further, the air pump 11 constituting the foam generating means 10 may be accommodated in the frame 42. By configuring the flying pest trapping device 1b as a wall-hanging type in this way, the device can be installed on a wall surface, a fence, a fence, or the like of a barn, and it is possible to avoid obstruction of traffic and work.
The operation of the flying pest trap 1 of the above embodiment for trapping flying pests will be described below. In the case of using the flying pest trapping device 1 of the above-described embodiment to trap and control flying pests, first, the flying pest emerges from the present device 1 in which the foam-forming liquid LI is placed in the foam-forming liquid container 7. For example, the installation legs of the support frame 5 are installed on a place where livestock such as a cowshed or a piggery is located, on a farm such as an orchard, or on a flat ground or floor such as an open-air bath or a pool. When the present apparatus 1 is formed as a wall-hanging type as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, it is attached to a wall surface, a fence, a fence, or the like in the above-described location.
When a commercial power supply is supplied to the air pump 11 constituting the bubble generating means 10 to drive the air pump 11, air is supplied to the bubble generator 13 disposed in the bubble generating space 24 via the tube 12. The bubbles are supplied and bubble is generated from the bubble generator 13 in the bubble generation liquid LI in the bubble generation space 24. A large amount of bubbles are continuously generated in the bubble generation space 24 by fine bubbles generated from the bubble generator 13 in the product liquid LI, and the bubbles fill the bubble generation space 24.
The bubbles filled in the bubble generating space 24 are leached from the opening 27 formed above the bubble generating space 24 to the bubble holding surface 21 side, and the eaves plate 28 formed above the opening 27 To form a foam lump BL having a predetermined thickness on the lower surface side of the eaves plate 28, and the foam lump BL slowly flows down along the bubble holding surface 21 to form planar bubbles on the bubble holding surface 21. Lump BL is formed. Light from a fluorescent lamp is applied to the planar foam lump BL formed on the foam holding surface 21 to illuminate the foam lump BL in its entirety, thereby attracting flying pests who prefer light to the lump BL. Pests such as mosquitoes and flies that flew in the direction of the light jump into the foam BL, the blades become wet and unable to fly due to the action of the surfactant, and the foam-generating liquid enters the stomach and breathes. Can no longer suffocate.
As described above, the flying pest caught by the foam lump BL flows down as the foam lump BL flows down, is received by the gutter member 31, and is supplied to the gutter member 31. The LI is caused to flow downstream by the LI flow and is stored in the foam generating liquid container 7. The dead body of the flying pest accumulated in the foam generating liquid container 7 due to suffocation may be disposed of by disposing of the foam generating liquid LI remaining in the foam generating liquid container 7, and the cleanup is easy and sanitary. Can be done.
