Description

The present invention relates to a method for preventing the occurrence of plant diseases by charging and removing static electricity from conidia and fungi that cause plant diseases.
In addition, the present invention removes a flyable organism by capturing a flyable organism by applying an electrostatic field to the flyable organism such as a phytopathogenic spore and / or a small pest. The present invention relates to a flying organism removing apparatus and a plant protecting apparatus that prevent the occurrence of plant pests and insects.

  Antibacterial and antifungal agents for agricultural and horticultural use derived from natural products and chemically synthesized products are being studied. Of these, antibacterial and antifungal agents for agriculture and horticulture have been put on the market. However, because of the difference in susceptibility to plant pathogens depending on the drug, the resistance of the plant pathogen to resistance to the drug, and phytotoxicity, the currently used antibacterial and antifungal agents for agricultural and horticultural use Is not enough. For this reason, in the field of agricultural and horticultural antibacterial agents and antifungal agents, it is desired to develop drugs that are further excellent in safety and effectiveness.

  As natural antibacterial agents, acetic acid, machine oil, rapeseed oil and the like have been put into practical use.

  As antibacterial agents derived from chemically synthesized products, benzimidazole antibacterial agents such as thiophanate methyl agents, sterol biosynthesis inhibitors such as triazimephone agents and vitertanol agents, and anilinopyrimidine fungicides such as pyrimethanil agents have been put into practical use. ing.

  Powdery mildew or the like develops when conidia are scattered in the air, and the scattered conidia adhere to tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. and germinate.

  There exists an air cleaner as a thing which removes bacteria, a spore, pollen, etc. in the air. This air purifier is known to use a filter and / or to remove bacteria, spores, pollen and the like by an electrostatic precipitator.

  The filter is not effective unless it has finer holes than the one to be removed, and it is difficult to operate for a long time due to clogging.

  An electrostatic induction dust suction device using two metal electrodes and a plastic three-dimensional mesh screen installed in parallel with the metal electrodes has been reported as a means to increase the collection effect of dust and mist floating in the gas. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  Furthermore, there are known electric dust collectors of a wire discharge type in which a high voltage is applied to a metal wire and a needle discharge type in which a high voltage is applied to a needle tip (see, for example, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4). ). Both of these remove the bacteria, spores, pollen and the like by charging what is removed from the spores and pollen by corona discharge and adsorbing it by the collecting electrode.

  The occurrence of plant diseases and insects in the cultivation of vegetables and flowers in a house has a very high probability of occurring in all plants in the cultivation house. For this reason, this risk is avoided by spraying chemicals before the occurrence of plant diseases. However, it is currently difficult to suppress the occurrence of plant pests without relying on such chemical spraying.

  In an electrostatic induction dust absorber using a metal electrode and a plastic three-dimensional mesh screen parallel to the metal electrode, there is a possibility that corona discharge is caused by the exposed metal electrode.

In an electric dust collector, corona discharge or the like is used to charge spores and pollen, but ozone is also generated at the same time. For this reason, ozone may adversely affect plants. In addition, the charging efficiency may decrease under high humidity conditions.

This dielectric polarization generates an electric field through at least one dielectric, and captures living creatures that can fly by this electric field.

  The dielectric is preferably shaped or arranged such that the strength of the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the dielectric varies depending on the position. In this way, by generating an electric field whose electric field intensity varies depending on the position (uneven electric field, non-uniform field), when the flying creature is charged, the Coulomb force is applied to the flying creature. If the flying creature is electrically neutral, the flying creature can be subjected to electrostatic induction to exert a gradient force. By generating such an electric field, it is possible to exert a Coulomb force or a gradient force on the flying creature and make it difficult to move the flying creature. By doing so, it is possible to accurately capture flying creatures by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the dielectric.

<< First Embodiment >>
In the method for preventing the occurrence of plant diseases of the present invention, any means can be used as long as it can charge a high electrostatic voltage to conidia and fungus bodies (hereinafter referred to as conidia). Can be used. For example, it is sufficient that conidia and the like can be charged by dielectric polarization in a nonconductor and electrostatic induction in a conductor.

  Any conductor that charges a high voltage can be used as long as it is a conductor. Examples of the conductor include copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and iron. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a conductor coated with a nonconductor because corona discharge can be suppressed and an electric shock can be eliminated.

  A non-conductor that is in contact with or adjacent to a high-voltage charged conductor uses a non-conductor that is in contact with a high-voltage charged conductor, or a non-conductor that is adjacent to a high-voltage charged conductor. Is. As the nonconductor, any material that does not conduct electricity, that is, an insulator, can be used. Examples of the nonconductor include vinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, urethane, polyester, rayon, cellulose, and rubber. The conductor may be covered with a nonconductor. The coating method is not limited by any method as long as the conductor is coated with a nonconductor. For example, the non-conductor can be melted and applied or immersed in the conductor to adhere or cover the conductor. In addition, a paint containing a non-conductor may be used, and an insulating paint is preferable as this paint.

  A non-conductor adjacent to a conductor charged with a high voltage means that the non-conductor is in contact with a part of the conductor, a non-conductor is installed near the conductor, This is a state in which a nonconductor is in contact with a portion, or a state in which a nonconductor is installed near a conductor covered with a nonconductor. The vicinity may be a distance at which the nonconductor can be charged from the conductor or the conductor covered with the nonconductor. For example, this distance is preferably 0.1 to 3 cm, more preferably 0.3 to 2 cm, and still more preferably 0.5 to 1 cm.

  The shape of the nonconductor in the present invention may be any shape as long as the conidia and the like can be charged. For example, coated copper wire stretched in parallel, coated copper wire stretched in a vertical and horizontal grid, a non-conductive net surrounded by a conductor, a non-conductive net surrounded by a coated conductor An object, a conductor placed parallel to a non-conductive net (may be in contact or adjacent), a conductor covered with a non-conductor net installed parallel (even if in contact) Or a wire mesh coated with a nonconductor.

  In the present invention, the interval between the nonconductors varies depending on the voltage to be charged, but any interval may be used as long as the conidia and the like are charged and have a distance that can be attached.

  The voltage to be charged in the present invention varies depending on the interval between the nonconductors and the amount of air passing through the nonconductor portion, but any voltage may be used as long as the conidia and the like can be charged to a high electrostatic voltage. For example, 1-30 kV is preferable, 3-20 kV is more preferable, and 5-15 kV is still more preferable. If the charge voltage is too high, it may not be possible to adsorb conidia or the like. On the other hand, if the charging voltage is too low, the conidia and the like may not be able to perform dielectric polarization, which is not preferable.

  As the polarity when charging, a preferable polarity can be selected depending on the application, installation method, location, and the like. In the present invention, when a negative high voltage is charged on the conductor, the positive electrode is grounded (earth), and conversely, when a positive high voltage is charged on the conductor, the negative electrode is grounded (earth). That is, only a single pole (either minus or plus) is charged in a portion where charged conidia or the like is adsorbed. From this, it can be expected that the corona discharge from the portion where conidia and the like are adsorbed is almost eliminated, and it can be used even in a high humidity state.

  The conidia in the present invention refers to asexual spores that infect diseases of agricultural and horticultural plants and lack motility. In addition, the thing formed by budding from the conidia-forming cells is included as well as the one formed by separating the mycelium at the partition wall.

In the method for preventing plant diseases of the present invention, the target is powdery mildew (tomato, eggplant, pepper, wheat, cucumber, melon, watermelon, pea, grape, strawberry, rose, etc.), mycorrhizal disease (Tomato, eggplant, cucumber, watermelon, radish, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, etc.), and gray mold (tomato, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, pumpkin, strawberry, pea, green beans, onion, green onion, etc.), leaf mold (tomato, etc.) ), Rust (onions, onions, leek, asparagus, lettuce, etc.)
Etc. can be exemplified.

  The fungus body in the present invention is for infecting diseases of agricultural and horticultural plants.

  As an apparatus to which the method of the present invention is applied, for example, a non-conductor which is in contact with or adjacent to a conductor charged with a high voltage is incorporated in a filter unit, or a non-conductor is placed on a conductor charged with a high voltage. Examples thereof include a plate-like material and a wire of a coated conductor charged with a high voltage.

  The shape of the non-conductor that gives the dielectric polarization of this filter part is a product in which coated copper wires are stretched in parallel, a product in which coated copper wires are stretched in a lattice shape, and a conductor surrounded by a conductor. And a wire mesh coated with a non-conductor. It is preferable to install a filter in front of the nonconductor imparting this dielectric polarization because large objects can be removed. Such a filter part is installed in the house, for example, to install clean air from which conidia have been removed by installing an air intake part in the house, and to purify the air in the house. can do.

  A plate or wire can be installed in a house and used for purification of air in the house.

In FIG. 5, only the conductor 112 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 is shown as one example of the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400.

  In addition, in this Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, although the shape of the surrounding part 30 showed a rectangular parallelepiped, it is not restricted to such a shape, It is not limited to the plant arrange | positioned in the plant arrangement | positioning area 20. The surrounding part 30 may be formed of a curved surface as long as it can provide an appropriate environment.

<Flying organism removal apparatus 100, 200, 300, 400>

  In addition, in the plant protection device 15 shown in FIG. 5 described above, openings 34a and 34b are formed over substantially the entire front wall 32a and back wall 32b, so that these two openings 34a and 34b are covered. The case where the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300 or 400 is attached is shown. On the other hand, depending on the type and number of plants arranged in the plant arrangement area 20, it may be necessary to form an opening only in a partial region of the front wall 32a and the back wall 32b. In such a case, the flying organism removing device 100, 200, 300 or 400 having a size corresponding to the size of the formed opening may be attached. The flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400 only needs to be able to supply appropriate air to the plant arranged in the plant arrangement area 20 by covering the entire formed opening.

  Moreover, in the plant protection apparatus 15 shown in FIG. 5, although the case where the flying organism removal apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400 was attached only to two places of the front wall 32a and the back wall 32b was shown, The flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400 may be attached to the right side wall 32c, the left side wall 32d, the upper surface 32e, or the like. The number of flying organism removal devices 100, 200, 300, or 400 is sufficient as long as it can sufficiently irradiate light to the plant and supply sufficient air according to the type and number of plants arranged in the plant arrangement area 20. What is necessary is just to determine suitably about the position which arrange | positions the magnitude | size, the flying organism removal apparatus 100,200,300 or 400 according to the kind, number, etc. of a plant.

As shown in FIG. Note that the flying organism removing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 6 is simplified by showing a casing 150 described later with a broken line in order to clearly show the configuration. FIG. 7 shows an example in which the flying organism removing device 100 is attached to the opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 15 described above.
The flying creature removing apparatus 100 includes a housing 150, a conductor 110, a dielectric 120, and a power supply 130. As will be described later, a conductor 110 and a dielectric 120 constitute a dielectric covered conductor 140.

<Case 150>
The case 150 of the flying creature removing apparatus 100 includes two side parts 162a and 162b, a top part 164, and a bottom part 166.

  The two side parts 162a and 162b have substantially the same shape, and are made of a substantially rectangular thin plate. The two side parts 162a and 162b are spaced apart from each other substantially in parallel. Moreover, the top part 164 and the bottom part 166 have substantially the same shape and are made of a substantially rectangular thin plate. The top part 164 and the bottom part 166 are spaced apart from each other substantially in parallel.

  These two side parts 162a and 162b and the top part 164 and the bottom part 166 are made of an electrically insulated material, for example, a transparent plastic. By using a transparent casing 150, when the flying organism removing apparatus 100 is attached to the plant protection device 15, the light in the plant protection device 15 is accurately irradiated without blocking light. can do.

  The two side portions 162a and 162b and the top portion 164 and the bottom portion 166 form a front surface 168a and a back surface 168b of the flying organism removing apparatus 100. That is, the front surface 168a and the back surface 168b are formed in a region surrounded by the two side portions 162a and 162b, the top portion 164, and the bottom portion 166, and the entire surfaces of the front surface 168a and the back surface 168b are opened. Yes. The front surface 168a and the back surface 168b are positioned so as to face each other, and air can be circulated through the front surface 168a and the back surface 168b. The front surface 168a and the back surface 168b correspond to the “housing opening”.

  When the flying organism removing apparatus 100 is attached to the plant protection apparatus 15 described above, the back surface 168b of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 is approximately aligned with the openings 34a and 34b of the plant protection apparatus 15 as shown in FIG. To do. Therefore, air can circulate through the front surface 168 a and the back surface 168 b of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 and the opening 34 a of the plant protecting apparatus 15, and air is supplied to the plant protecting apparatus 15 through the flying organism removing apparatus 100. Can be supplied. Similarly, air can circulate through the front surface 168a and the back surface 168b of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 and the opening 34b of the plant protecting apparatus 15, and the plant protecting apparatus 15 through the flying organism removing apparatus 100. Can be supplied with air. The openings 34a and 34b of the plant protection device 15 correspond to “distribution openings”.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the flying organism removing apparatus 100 is attached to the outer surface of the front wall 32a of the plant protection apparatus 15 so as to cover the opening 34a formed in the front wall 32a. As described above, when the flying organism removing device 100 is attached to the plant protection device 15 (not shown), the back surface 168b of the flying organism removing device 100 is aligned with the opening 34a of the plant protection device 15. In FIG. 7, the left direction of the drawing is the outside of the plant protection device 15, the right direction of the drawing is the inside of the plant protection device 15, and there is a plant arrangement area 20 (not shown). The arrows shown in FIG. 7 indicate the flow of air flowing in from the outside of the plant protection device 15 through the flying organism removing device 100 from the outside to the inside.

<Conductor 110 (Conductor 112)>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 100 includes the conductor 110. In the flying organism removing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment, the conductor 110 includes nine conductors 112. The nine conductors 112 constitute “at least one conductor” and “a plurality of conductors”.

  As shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, each of the nine conductors 112 has a long and substantially straight shape extending straight. Specifically, each of the nine conductors 112 has a substantially bar shape. In FIG. 7, cross sections of nine conductors 112 are drawn. As shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of each of the nine conductors 112 is substantially circular. Note that the shape of each of the nine conductors 112 is not limited to a linear shape, and may be any shape that can maintain a constant shape. For example, a curved shape along a constant curve may be used. You may have.

  Each of the nine conductors 112 is arranged in the horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 7) between the two side portions 162a and 162b of the housing 150. By disposing each of the nine conductors 112 in this manner, each of the nine conductors 112 becomes a long conductive line extending straight in the horizontal direction.

  Further, the nine conductors 112 are arranged along the vertical direction (vertical direction on the paper surface of FIG. 7) so as to be separated from each other and the interval between adjacent ones is a predetermined interval. By arranging the nine conductors 112 in this way, the nine conductors 112 are arranged along the first surface 114 shown in FIG. The first surface 114 will be described later.

  The nine conductors 112 are electrically connected to each other at two side portions 162a or 162b of the housing 150 by electric wires (not shown). By doing in this way, each electric potential of nine conductors becomes always the same electric potential.

<Dielectric 120 (Dielectric Cover 122)>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 100 includes the dielectric 120. In the flying organism removing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment, the dielectric 120 includes nine dielectric covers 122. These nine dielectric covers 122 constitute “at least one dielectric” and “a plurality of dielectric covers”.

  As shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, each of the nine dielectric covers 122 has a long and substantially cylindrical shape extending straight. In FIG. 7, the cross section of nine dielectric coating bodies 122 is drawn. As shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of each of the nine dielectric covers 122 is a substantially annular shape. Note that the shape of each of the nine dielectric covers 122 is not limited to a shape that extends straight, and may be any shape that can maintain a certain shape, for example, along a certain curve. It may have a curved shape.

  Each of the nine dielectric covers 122 is disposed in the horizontal direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 7) between the two side portions 162 a and 162 b of the housing 150. One end of each of the nine dielectric covers 122 is held by a side portion 162a of the casing 150, and the other end of each of the nine dielectric covers 122 is a side portion 162b of the casing 150. Is held by. By doing in this way, each of the nine dielectric covers 122 can be supported between the two side parts 162a and 162b of the housing 150.

  Further, the nine dielectric cover bodies 122 are arranged so as to be separated from each other along the vertical direction (vertical direction on the paper surface of FIG. 7) and the interval between adjacent ones is a predetermined interval. By disposing the nine dielectric covers 122 in this way, the nine dielectric covers 122 are disposed along the first surface 114 shown in FIG. The first surface 114 will be described later.

  The dielectric 120 is made of a dielectric material. That is, the dielectric 120 may be anything that does not conduct electricity, that is, a so-called insulator. Examples of the material of the dielectric 120 include vinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, urethane, polyester, rayon, cellulose, and rubber. In particular, it is preferable to use a material that makes the dielectric 120 transparent. By making the dielectric 120 transparent, as shown in FIG. 7, when the flying organism removing device 100 is attached to the plant protection device 15, the dielectric 120 does not block light, and the plant protection device 15. It is possible to irradiate the plant with light accurately. Moreover, even if the dielectric 120 is not transparent, it is preferable to transmit light by 50% or more. When the dielectric 120 is attached to the plant protection device 15, the transmittance of the entire opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 1 is high. Install at 50% or more. Furthermore, when the dielectric 120 is not transparent, it is preferable to adjust the light transmittance in the entire opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 15 by the number and thickness of the dielectric coverings 122.

<Dielectrically coated conductor 140>
As described above, the dielectric covered conductor 140 is constituted by the conductor 110 and the dielectric 120. Specifically, one dielectric covered conductor 140 is constituted by one conductor 112 and one dielectric cover 122. That is, the flying organism removing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment is configured such that one dielectric cover 122 and one conductor 112 are paired.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a configuration of one dielectric covered conductor 140. FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of one dielectric covered conductor 140.
One dielectric covered conductor 140 includes one conductor 112, one dielectric cover 122, and two support members 142.

  As described above, the dielectric cover 122 has a long, substantially cylindrical shape extending straight. That is, a long space along the axial direction is formed inside the dielectric cover 122. In addition, substantially circular openings 124 are formed at both ends of the dielectric cover 122.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the long space formed inside one dielectric cover 122, the one conductor 112 described above is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the dielectric cover 122. The

  Support members 142 for supporting the conductor 112 are provided in the openings 124 at both ends of the dielectric cover 122 described above. The support member 142 has a substantially frustoconical shape having two end surfaces of a first end surface 144 and a second end surface 146. The first end surface 144 and the second end surface 146 of the support member 142 have a substantially circular shape. The support member 142 is formed such that the diameter of the first end face 144 is shorter than the diameter of the dielectric cover 122 and the diameter of the second end face 146 is longer than the diameter of the dielectric cover 122. ing. Further, a through hole 148 is formed in the support member 142 so as to pass through the approximate center of the first end surface 144 and the approximate center of the second end surface 146 and along the central axis direction of the support member 142. Yes. The through hole 148 is formed such that the diameter of the through hole 148 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the conductor 112. The support member 142 is made of an elastic member such as rubber so that it can be slightly deformed.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the conductor 112 passed through the through hole 148 of the support member 142 is supported by the support member 142 by the elastic force of the support member 142. The first end surface 144 of the support member 142 is pushed into the two openings 124 of the dielectric cover 122, so that the support member 142 is fixed to each of the two openings 124 by the elastic force of the support member 142. . By doing so, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9A, the conductor is placed along the longitudinal direction of the dielectric coating 122 in the long space formed inside the dielectric coating 122. 112 can be placed and held. Specifically, the conductor 112 is disposed and held on the dielectric cover 122 so that the dielectric cover 122 and the conductor 112 are separated from each other along the axial center line of the dielectric cover 122. Can do.

  With this configuration, the conductor 112 can be covered with the dielectric cover 122. As shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, one conductor 112 is similarly arranged in each of the nine dielectric coverings 122, and nine dielectric covering conductors 140 are configured.

  By adopting such a shape for the nine dielectric coated conductors 140, the vertical direction can be reduced and the surface area can be increased. Since it can be reduced in the vertical direction, the thickness of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 7) can be reduced. Further, as described above, when the nine dielectric covers 122 are made of a transparent material, when the flying organism removing device 100 is attached to the plant protection device 15, the plant is not blocked by light. The plant in the protection device 15 can be irradiated with light accurately.

  In addition, since the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 have such a shape, the outer peripheral surface of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 is supplied when air is supplied to the plant via the flying organism removing apparatus 100. The air flow can be bent, the air can be rotated, or a vortex can be produced. By bending the air flow or applying a rotational component to the air flow, a living organism that can fly to an area where the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 described above is effectively present. Opportunities to exist can be increased, and creatures that can fly accurately can be captured.

  Further, as described above, the nine dielectric covers 122 are arranged so as to be separated from each other along the vertical direction (vertical direction on the paper surface of FIG. 7), and the interval between adjacent ones is a predetermined interval. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, the nine dielectric covered conductors 140 are also arranged so as to be separated from each other along the vertical direction. That is, nine dielectric coated conductors 140 are arranged in a so-called bowl shape so that a gap is formed between adjacent dielectric coated conductors 140. In this way, air can be sufficiently supplied to the plant protection device 15 through the gap formed between the adjacent dielectric-coated conductors 140, and the plant protection device 15 can be supplied through this gap. It is also possible to irradiate the plant placed in the light. Furthermore, as described above, when the nine dielectric covers 122 are made of a transparent member, not only the gap formed between the dielectric covered conductors 140 but also the nine dielectric covers 122 are used. It is also possible to irradiate light on a plant arranged in the plant protection device 15.

  The thickness of each of the nine dielectric coatings 122 and the interval between adjacent dielectric coatings 122 may be appropriately determined according to the voltage applied to the conductor 112, the amount of air passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 100, and the like. Good.

  As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9A described above, when the dielectric cover 122 and the conductor 112 are separated from each other, that is, when the dielectric cover 122 is not in direct contact with the conductor 112. For example, the dielectric cover 122 is preferably an acrylic cylinder, and the thickness of the dielectric cover 122 is preferably 10 cm or less. The thickness of the dielectric covering 122 is more preferably 6 cm or less, and further preferably 4 cm or less. On the other hand, the conductor 112 may be disposed at a position where the dielectric covering 122 can be dielectrically polarized. That is, the thickness of the conductor 112 disposed inside the dielectric cover 122 can be determined according to the thickness of the dielectric cover 122. The conductor 112 may be a solid copper wire or a copper pipe.

  Further, the interval between the adjacent dielectric covering bodies 122 may be determined as appropriate depending on the voltage applied to the conductor 112, the thickness of the dielectric covering body 122, the amount of air passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 100, and the like. For example, the distance between adjacent dielectric coverings 122 is preferably 10 cm or less, more preferably 8 cm or less, and even more preferably 6 cm or less.

<First surface 114>
A method for specifying the first surface 114 will be described below.
First, the shape of each of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 is specified by the shape of one line. This is because the center of the dielectric coated conductor 140 is defined in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the single dielectric coated conductor 140, and this center is connected along the longitudinal direction of the dielectric coated conductor 140 to thereby form the dielectric coated conductor 140. A single line can be defined for the body 140. In this way, one line characterizing each of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 can be determined. In the first embodiment, since each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140 has a shape extending straight as described above, the lines characterizing each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140 are also included. It becomes a straight line.

  The first surface 114 can then be defined by identifying one surface that roughly includes a line for characterizing the shape of each of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140. The identification of the first surface 114 does not have to assume a strict surface that always includes all of these lines, and one surface that is roughly included may be used as the first surface 114. In the first embodiment, since the lines for characterizing the shapes of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 are straight lines as described above, the shape of the first surface 114 is also one. It becomes a plane.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the first surface 114 that characterizes the overall shape of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 is a flat surface. However, the first surface 114 is a flat surface. It is not restricted to a case, A curved surface may be sufficient. The nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 need only be arranged along a certain plane.

  Note that the outside of each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140 is defined by the nine dielectric covers 122, so that even if the first surface is specified by the nine dielectric covers 122, the first Coincides with surface 114.

  In addition, if the conductor 112 is disposed along the axis of the dielectric coated conductor 140, the first surface 114 is similarly determined even if the first surface is specified by the nine conductors 112. Match.

<Power supply 130>
The power supply 130 has a plus terminal and a minus terminal that can output a predetermined DC voltage.
Each of the nine conductors 112 constituting the conductor 110 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 130. In the first embodiment, the positive terminal of the power supply 130 is grounded.

  The DC voltage applied to the nine conductors 112 passes between the nine conductors 112, the material of the diameters of the nine dielectric covers 122, and the nine dielectric covers 122. What is necessary is just to determine suitably by the air volume of air. For example, any voltage may be used as long as a high voltage can be applied to a flying organism such as a pest and the like and a flying organism can be captured. Specifically, the DC voltage applied to the nine conductors 112 is preferably 1 to 40 kV, more preferably 3 to 30 kV, and even more preferably 5 to 20 kV. When the DC voltage to be applied is 1 to 40 kV, it is possible to accurately remove organisms that can fly between the first conductor and the second conductor. On the other hand, if the DC voltage to be applied is too low, there is a possibility that dielectric polarization will not occur in the flying creature, which is not preferable.

  By applying a DC voltage to the nine conductors 112, an electrostatic field can be generated around the nine conductors 112. As described above, each of the nine conductors 112 is covered with the dielectric cover 122. For this reason, the electrostatic field generated from the nine conductors 112 can be generated inside the nine dielectric covers 122 and cause dielectric polarization in the nine dielectric covers 122. Due to the dielectric polarization generated in the nine dielectric covers 122, an electric field can be further generated around the nine dielectric covers 122. The electric field generated around the nine dielectric coverings 122 is an electric field (an unequal electric field or a non-uniform field) whose strength differs depending on the position because the dielectric covering 122 has a substantially cylindrical shape. By generating such an electric field, when a flying creature is charged, the Coulomb force can be exerted on the flying creature, and the flying creature is electrically neutral. In some cases, a gradient force can be exerted by causing electrostatic induction in a flying creature. By generating such an electric field, it is possible to exert a Coulomb force or a gradient force on the flying creature and make it difficult to move the flying creature. By doing in this way, the electrostatic screen can be formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric covers 122, and the creatures that can fly by the electrostatic screen can be accurately captured.

  In the second embodiment, a DC high voltage generator is used as the power supply 130. In this way, a constant high voltage can be applied to the conductor 110, and flying creatures are captured by the electric field generated around the nine dielectric coatings 122, and the plant of the plant protection device 15 is captured. Intrusion into the placement area 20 can be prevented.

The plant protection device 15 described above may be naturally ventilated or forcedly ventilated. The wind speed in the case of forced ventilation may be appropriately determined according to the interval between the nine dielectric coated conductors 140, the voltage applied to the nine conductors 112, the diameter of the nine dielectric coated bodies 122, and the like. For example, 1-600 m < ³ > / min per 1 m < ² > is mentioned as an example about opening 34a and 34b of the plant protection apparatus 15. FIG.

<Dielectrically coated conductor 140 '>
FIG. 9A described above is a dielectric in which the conductor 112 is arranged inside the dielectric cover 122 so that the dielectric cover 122 and the conductor 112 are separated by two support members 142 (see FIG. 8). A coated conductor 140 is shown.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, a dielectric covered conductor 140 ′ in which the conductor 112 is disposed on the dielectric cover 122 ′ so that the dielectric cover 122 ′ and the conductor 112 are in close contact with each other. Also good. By doing so, the diameter of the dielectric coated conductor 140 ′ can be reduced, so that the thickness of the flying organism removing apparatus 100 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 7) can be further reduced. Further, since the curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric coated conductor 140 'can be increased, the rate of change in the position of the electrostatic field generated by the dielectric coated conductor 140' can be further increased. By doing so, the gradient force can be further increased, and the flying creature can be captured more easily.

  Note that examples of the manner in which the dielectric covering 122 'and the conductor 112 are in close contact include a coated copper wire used for electrical wiring, a coated copper plate coated with a dielectric material, and the like.

  The thickness of each of the nine dielectric coating bodies 122 ′ and the interval between the adjacent dielectric coating bodies 122 are appropriately determined depending on the voltage applied to the conductor 112, the amount of air passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 100, and the like. That's fine.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the dielectric cover 122 ′ and the conductor 112 are in close contact, that is, when the dielectric cover 122 ′ is in direct contact with the conductor 112. For example, it is preferable that the dielectric-coated conductor 140 ′ is made of a PVC-coated copper wire and has a thickness of 10 mm or less. The thickness of the dielectric-coated conductor 140 'is more preferably 6 mm or less, and still more preferably 4 mm or less. On the other hand, the thickness of the conductor 112 disposed inside the dielectric cover 122 'can be determined according to the thickness of the dielectric cover 122'.

  In addition, the interval between the adjacent dielectric coverings 122 ′ may be appropriately determined according to the voltage applied to the conductor 112, the thickness of the dielectric covering 122 ′, the amount of air passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 100, and the like. Good. For example, the distance between adjacent dielectric coatings 122 'is preferably 6 cm or less, more preferably 4 cm or less, and even more preferably 2 cm or less. Compared to the case where the dielectric coating is not in direct contact with the conductor 112, the interval between the adjacent dielectric coatings 122 ′ is shortened because the dielectric coating 122 ′ is in direct contact with the conductor 112. In some cases, the diameter of the dielectric covering 122 ′ is often small, and by shortening the distance, the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the dielectric covering 122 ′ can be reduced between the adjacent dielectric coverings 122 ′. Can exist effectively.

<Dielectric coverings 222, 322, 422>
FIGS. 10A to 10C are perspective views showing second to fourth examples of the dielectric covering. 10A to 10C, the conductor 112 and the two support members 142 are omitted.

  A dielectric cover 222 of the second example shown in FIG. 10 (a), a dielectric cover 322 of the third example shown in FIG. 5 (b), and a dielectric cover of the fourth example shown in FIG. 5 (c). The body 422 has a long and substantially cylindrical shape that extends straight, as in the case of the dielectric cover 122 of the first example.

  A plurality of grooves 224 are formed along the longitudinal direction of the dielectric cover 222 on the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric cover 222 of the second example. A plurality of recesses or through holes 324 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric cover 322 of the third example. As described above, in the case of the dielectric cover 322 of the third example, not only the recesses but also the through holes may be formed. When forming the through-hole, it is preferable to determine the distance between adjacent conductors 112 and the voltage to be applied so that the conductor 112 disposed on the inside does not discharge.

  By forming such a plurality of grooves 224, a plurality of recesses and through-holes 324 on the outer peripheral surface, the intensity of the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric coatings 222 and 322 can be made more non-uniform. it can. By generating such an electric field, a greater gradient force can be exerted on the flying creature, and the flying creature can be captured with less mobility.

Also, the plurality of grooves 224, the plurality of dents, and the through holes 324 cause the air flow flowing near the outer peripheral surface of the dielectric coverings 222 and 322 to bend more greatly, rotate the air more, and cause more vortex. It is possible to further increase the opportunities for flying creatures to exist in the region where the electric field is effectively present, and to capture the flying creatures accurately.
Furthermore, the dielectric covering 422 shown in FIG. 10C is molded from a dielectric fibrous material. Even in this case, it is possible to generate an electric field with a non-uniform intensity, and to exert a greater gradient force on the flying creature and capture the flying creature more difficult to move. be able to.

  Further, by using a fibrous material, it is possible to improve air circulation, bend the air flow more greatly, rotate the air more, and generate more vortex.

  In the flying organism removing apparatus 100, the case where each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140 is arranged in the horizontal direction is shown. However, the plurality of dielectric covered conductors 140 are arranged in the plant arrangement area 20. It may be arranged so that light can be applied to the plant and air can be supplied, and it may be arranged not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction or in an oblique direction.

<< Flying organism removal apparatus 200 >>
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of the flying organism removing apparatus 200. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the flying organism removing apparatus 200 is attached to the opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection apparatus 15 described above.
The flying creature removing apparatus 100 includes a casing 150, conductors 110a and 110b, dielectrics 120a and 120b, and a power source 130. As will be described later, a dielectric covered conductor 140a is constituted by the conductor 110a and the dielectric 120a, and a dielectric covered conductor 140b is constituted by the conductor 110b and the dielectric 120b.
Note that the casing 150 and the power source 130 have the same configuration as that of the flying creature removing apparatus 100 and have the same functions, and thus description thereof is omitted.

<Conductors 110a and 110b>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 200 includes the conductors 110a and 110b. The conductor 110a is composed of nine conductors 112a. The conductor 110b includes nine conductors 112b. These nine conductors 112 a and 112 b have the same configuration as the nine conductors 112 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100. These nine conductors 112a and 112b are electrically connected to the power source 130. These nine conductors 112a and 112b constitute “at least one conductor” and “a plurality of conductors”.

<Dielectric 120a, 120b>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 200 includes the dielectrics 120a and 120b. The dielectric 120a is composed of nine dielectric covers 122a. The dielectric 120b is composed of nine dielectric covers 122b. These nine dielectric covers 122a and 122b have the same configuration as the nine dielectric covers 122 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100. These nine dielectric covers 122a and 122b constitute “at least one dielectric” and “a plurality of dielectric covers”.

<Dielectrically coated conductors 140a and 140b>
Nine dielectric-covered conductors 140a are constituted by nine conductors 112a and nine dielectric covers 122a, and nine dielectric-covered conductors are formed by nine conductors 112b and nine dielectric covers 122b. A body 140b is formed. Therefore, each of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and 140b has the same configuration as the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100.

  The arrangement of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140b is arranged along the vertical direction as in the case of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100. So as to be separated from each other. That is, the nine dielectric covered conductors 140a are arranged in a so-called bowl shape so that a gap is formed between two adjacent dielectric covered conductors 140a. Similarly, the nine dielectric covered conductors 140b are arranged in a so-called bowl shape so that a gap is formed between two adjacent dielectric covered conductors 140b.

  The nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a constitute one “dielectric-coated conductor group”, and the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140b constitute one “dielectric-coated conductor group”. In particular, nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a constitute a “first dielectric-coated conductor group”, and nine dielectric-coated conductors 140b constitute a “second dielectric-coated conductor group”. .

  One dielectric covered conductor 140a includes one conductor 112a and one dielectric cover 122a. In other words, the flying organism removing apparatus 200 is configured such that one dielectric cover 122a and one conductor 112a are paired. Similarly, one dielectric covered conductor 140b is composed of one conductor 112b and one dielectric cover 122b. That is, the flying organism removing apparatus 200 is configured such that one dielectric cover 122b and one conductor 112b are paired.

  As shown in FIG. 11, with respect to the arrangement of the flying organism removing apparatus 200 in the vertical direction (up and down direction of the paper surface of FIG. 11), nine of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 a are adjacent to each other. It is preferable that one of the dielectric-coated conductors 140b is disposed in a so-called staggered manner, in which one dielectric-coated conductor 140b is disposed. When the nine dielectric coated conductors 140b are used as a reference, one dielectric coating of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140a is interposed between adjacent ones of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140b. It is preferable that the conductors 140b are arranged alternately so that the conductors 140b are arranged.

  By arranging in this way, an electric field can be generated around the nine dielectric covers 122a and 122b by the dielectric polarization generated in the nine dielectric covers 122a and 122b, and the range in which the electric field is generated Can be spread. Therefore, the first electrostatic screen is formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric covers 122a, and the second electrostatic screen is formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric covers 122b. The creatures that can be formed and can fly by these two electrostatic screens can be captured more accurately.

  In the flying organism removing apparatus 200, the case where two “dielectric-coated conductor groups” are configured from the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and 140b is not limited to this, but three or more The “dielectric-coated conductor group” may be configured. By doing in this way, three or more electrostatic screens can be formed, and flying creatures can be captured even more accurately.

  In the flying organism removing apparatus 200, each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140a and 140b is arranged in the horizontal direction. However, the plurality of dielectric covered conductors 140a and 140b are arranged in a plant arrangement. What is necessary is just to arrange | position so that light can be irradiated to the plant arrange | positioned in the area 20, and air can be supplied. . Nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a and nine dielectric-coated conductors 140a are arranged in the horizontal direction, and nine dielectric-coated conductors 140b are arranged in the vertical direction. The conductor 140b may be arranged in different directions.

  In FIG. 11, a first surface 114a that characterizes the overall shape of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140a and a first surface 114b that characterizes the entire shape of the nine dielectric coated conductors 140b are indicated by broken lines. It was. The first surfaces 114 a and 114 b can be specified by the same method as that for the flying organism removing apparatus 200.

  The outside of each of the nine dielectric covered conductors 140a can be defined by the nine dielectric covers 122a. Therefore, even if the first face is specified by the nine dielectric covers 122a, the first face 114a. The same applies to the nine dielectric covers 122b.

  In addition, if the conductor 112a is disposed along the axis of the dielectric coated conductor 140a, even if the first surface is specified by the nine conductors 112a, the first surface 114a Match. The same applies to the conductor 112b.

  The distance between the first surfaces 114 a and 114 b may be determined as appropriate depending on the voltage applied to the conductor 112, the thickness of the dielectric cover 122, the amount of air passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 100, and the like. For example, the distance between adjacent dielectric coverings 122a and 122b is preferably 10 cm or less, more preferably 8 cm or less, and even more preferably 6 cm or less. Specifically, it is preferable to set the distance between the two adjacent dielectric coatings 122a adjacent to each other and the dielectric coating 122b closest thereto to 10 cm or less, and further to 8 cm or less. More preferably, it is most preferably 6 cm or less.

The upper end of the support 350 is locked to a hook 38 fixed to the front wall 32a. By doing in this way, nine dielectric covering conductors 140 are supported like what is called a bag.

  Even in this case, an electrostatic screen is formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric coatings 122 constituting the nine dielectric coated conductors 140, and a living organism that can fly by the electrostatic screen is formed. It can be accurately captured.

  Moreover, since the support body 350 has flexibility, the flying organism removal apparatus 300 can be rolled up or folded down, and can be easily stored or detached. Further, when the flying organism removing device 300 is attached to the opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 15, the nine dielectric coated conductors 140 are adapted to the contour of the opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 15. Can be arranged. In particular, in the case of rain or strong winds, the flying organism removing device 300 mounted on the plant protection device 15 is housed and the opening 34a of the front wall 32a is closed so that water droplets do not adhere to the flying organism removing device 300. In addition, it is possible to prevent conidia and small animals from passing through the flying organism removing apparatus 300 by a strong wind.

  On the inner surface 626 side of the dielectric cover 622, the conductor 112 is disposed along the longitudinal direction to form the dielectric cover conductor 640. By making the dielectric covering 622 of the dielectric covering conductor 640 into a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, the conductor 112 is substantially half covered with the dielectric covering 622. The dielectric cover 622 is positioned so as to be in close contact with the conductor 112.

  A plurality of grooves 224 shown in FIG. 10A are formed in the dielectric cover 522 shown in FIG. 13A or the dielectric cover 622 shown in FIG. A plurality of recesses or through holes 324 shown in b) may be formed. Further, even if the dielectric covering 522 shown in FIG. 13A or the dielectric covering 622 shown in FIG. 13B is molded by the dielectric fibrous material shown in FIG. Good.

  FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of the flying organism removing apparatus 400. FIG. 14 shows an example in which the flying organism removing device 400 is attached to the opening 34a of the front wall 32a of the plant protection device 15 described above.

  This flying organism removing apparatus 400 uses a dielectric covering 522 shown in FIG. 13A as a dielectric covering.

The flying creature removing device 400 includes a housing 150, conductors 110 a and 110 b, dielectrics 520 a and 520 b, and a power source 130. As will be described later, a dielectric covered conductor 540a is constituted by the conductor 110a and the dielectric 520a, and a dielectric covered conductor 540b is constituted by the conductor 110b and the dielectric 520b.
Note that the casing 150 and the power source 130 have the same configuration as that of the flying creature removing apparatus 100 and have the same functions, and thus description thereof is omitted.

<Conductors 110a and 110b>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 400 includes the conductors 110a and 110b. The conductor 110a is composed of nine conductors 112a. The conductor 110b includes nine conductors 112b. These nine conductors 112a and 112b are electrically connected to the power source 130. These nine conductors 112a and 112b constitute “at least one conductor” and “a plurality of conductors”. Note that these nine conductors 112a and 112b are the same as those of the flying organism removing apparatus 200 of the third embodiment.

<Dielectric 520a, 520b>
As described above, the flying organism removing apparatus 400 includes the dielectrics 520a and 520b. The dielectric 520a is composed of nine dielectric covers 522a. The dielectric 520b is composed of nine dielectric covers 522b. Nine dielectric covers 522a and 522b are the same as the dielectric covers 522 shown in FIG. These nine dielectric covers 522a and 522b constitute “at least one dielectric” and “a plurality of dielectric covers”.

<Dielectrically coated conductors 540a, 540b>
Nine dielectric coated conductors 540a are configured from the nine conductors 112a and nine dielectric coating bodies 522a, and nine dielectric coated conductive films are formed from the nine conductors 112b and the nine dielectric coating bodies 522b. A body 540b is constructed. The nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b are the same as the dielectric coated body 540 shown in FIG.

  The arrangement of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540a and the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540b is along the vertical direction as in the nine dielectric-coated conductors 140 of the flying organism removing apparatus 100. So as to be separated from each other. That is, the nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b are arranged in a so-called bowl shape so that a gap is formed between adjacent dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b.

  The nine dielectric-coated conductors 540a constitute one “dielectric-coated conductor group”, and the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540b constitute one “dielectric-coated conductor group”. In particular, nine dielectric-coated conductors 540a constitute a “first dielectric-coated conductor group”, and nine dielectric-coated conductors 540b constitute a “second dielectric-coated conductor group”. .

  One dielectric covered conductor 540a is composed of one conductor 112a and one dielectric cover 522a. That is, the flying organism removing apparatus 400 is configured such that one dielectric cover 522a and one conductor 112a are paired. Similarly, one dielectric covered conductor 540b includes one conductor 112b and one dielectric cover 522b. That is, the flying organism removing apparatus 400 is configured such that one dielectric cover 522b and one conductor 112b are paired.

  Further, regarding the arrangement of the flying organism removing apparatus 400 in the vertical direction (for example, the vertical direction of the paper surface of FIG. 14), nine dielectric coated conductors are disposed between adjacent ones of the nine dielectric coated conductors 540a. One of the dielectric covered conductors 540b of the body 540b may be arranged so-called alternately. Further, when nine dielectric coated conductors 540b are used as a reference, one of the nine dielectric coated conductors 540a is adjacent to one of the nine dielectric coated conductors 540b. You may make it arrange | position alternately so that the conductor 540b may be arrange | positioned.

  By arranging in this way, an electric field can be generated around the nine dielectric covers 522a and 122b by the dielectric polarization generated in the nine dielectric covers 522a and 522b. Can be spread. Therefore, the first electrostatic screen is formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric covers 522a, and the second electrostatic screen is formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the nine dielectric covers 522b. The creatures that can be formed and can fly by these two electrostatic screens can be captured more accurately.

  In the flying organism removing apparatus 400, the case where two “dielectric-coated conductor groups” are configured from the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540a and 540b is not limited to this, but three or more The “dielectric-coated conductor group” may be configured. By doing in this way, three or more electrostatic screens can be formed, and flying creatures can be captured even more accurately.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the nine dielectric covered conductors 540a are arranged so that the nine dielectric covered bodies 522a face the left direction of the drawing, and the nine dielectric covered conductors 540b The dielectric cover 522b of the book is disposed so as to face the right direction in the drawing. That is, the outer surface 524a of the nine dielectric cover bodies 522a, the nine dielectric cover bodies 522b, and the outer surface 524b are arranged in opposite directions. Further, the outer surface 524a of the nine dielectric covers 522a is disposed at a position closest to the front surface 168a of the housing 150, and the outer surface 524b of the nine dielectric covers 522b is positioned closest to the back surface 168b of the housing 150. Placed in. In this way, even when the nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b are touched when a high voltage is applied to the nine conductors 112a and 112b, the nine dielectric coated bodies Since it is insulated by 522a and 522b, safety can be ensured.

  14 uses the dielectric-coated conductor 540 shown in FIG. 13A, the dielectric-coated conductor 640 shown in FIG. 13B may be used. Good. In such a case, since the dielectric covered conductor 640 can be thinned, the thickness of the flying organism removing apparatus 400 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 14) can be reduced.

  Even if only a part of the conductor is covered with the dielectric cover, such as the dielectric cover 522 shown in FIG. 13A or the dielectric cover 622 shown in FIG. Can cause dielectric polarization and can generate an electric field around the dielectric coating. The electric field generated around the dielectric covering also becomes an electric field whose intensity varies depending on the position (uneven electric field, non-uniform field), so if the flying creature is charged, When the Coulomb force can be exerted and the flying creature is electrically neutral, the flying creature can be induced by electrostatic induction to exert a gradient force. By generating such an electric field, it is possible to exert a Coulomb force or a gradient force on the flying creature and make it difficult to move the flying creature. By doing in this way, the electrostatic screen can be formed by the electric field generated by the dielectric polarization of the dielectric coating, and the creature that can fly by the electrostatic screen can be captured accurately.

  In the flying organism removing apparatus 400, the case where each of the nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b is arranged in the horizontal direction is shown. However, the plurality of dielectric coated conductors 540a and 540b are arranged in a plant arrangement. What is necessary is just to arrange | position so that light can be irradiated to the plant arrange | positioned in the area 20, and air can be supplied. . Also, nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and nine dielectric coated conductors 540a and nine dielectric coated conductors 540a are arranged in the horizontal direction, and nine dielectric coated conductors 540b are arranged in the vertical direction. The conductors 540b may be arranged in different directions.

  In FIG. 14, a first surface 114a that characterizes the overall shape of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540a and a first surface 114b that characterizes the overall shape of the nine dielectric-coated conductors 540b are shown in broken lines. It was. The first surfaces 114 a and 114 b can be specified by the same method as that for the flying organism removing apparatus 200.

<<<<< Other Embodiments >>>>
In the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400 described above, an example in which a plurality of elongated dielectric coated conductors that extend straight are arranged in parallel is shown.
In the flying organism removing apparatus 100 or 300, the nine elongated dielectric coated conductors 140 extending straight are arranged so as to be separated from each other and parallel to each other. Further, in the flying organism removing apparatus 200, the nine long elongated dielectric covered conductors 140a are arranged so as to be separated from each other and parallel to each other, and the nine long elongated straight conductors extend. The dielectric covered conductors 140b were arranged so as to be separated from each other and parallel to each other. Further, in the flying organism removing apparatus 400, the nine elongated straight dielectric coated conductors 540a are arranged so as to be separated from each other and parallel to each other, and the nine elongated elongated straightly extending conductors. The dielectric-coated conductors 540b were arranged so as to be separated from each other and parallel to each other.

  The dielectric-coated conductor may have another form different from such a form. For example, a dielectric-coated conductor formed in a mesh shape may be used. By making the dielectric coated conductor into a mesh shape, it is possible to disturb the air flow or to generate vortex. By disturbing the flow of air, it is possible to increase the chances of living creatures that can fly in areas where the electric field generated by conductors, dielectrics, and dielectric-covered conductors exists effectively. Possible organisms can be captured and removed.

  Furthermore, when the mesh-shaped dielectric coated conductor is disposed at the closest position of the front surface 168a of the housing 150, it also has a function as a cover of the flying creature removing device, and is an object larger than the flying creature, For example, the movement of plant leaves, dust and the like can be prevented by a dielectric mesh, and the object can be excluded so as not to contact the conductor.

  Furthermore, in the case where this mesh-shaped dielectric coated conductor is used, as shown in FIG. 13 (a) or (b), only a part of the conductor is covered with the dielectric coating. In such a case, it is preferable that the outer surface of the dielectric coating is disposed so as to face the housing opening of the housing 150. Specifically, the outer surface of the dielectric coating formed in a mesh shape is arranged so as to face the front surface 168a and the back surface 168b (housing opening) of the housing 150. In this way, since the conductor not covered with the dielectric coating is not arranged toward the housing opening side, it is safe even when power is supplied to the conductor. It can be handled.

  Further, even when a mesh-like dielectric coated conductor is used, not only the mesh-shaped dielectric coated conductor is used, but nine dielectric coatings used in the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300 or 400 are used. It may be used in combination with a conductor. By doing in this way, the function as an electrostatic screen can be expanded further.

  Further, instead of using a dielectric coated conductor formed in a mesh shape, a dielectric material formed in a mesh shape may be used. In this case, together with the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400, a dielectric formed in a mesh shape is used. Specifically, a dielectric formed in a mesh shape is disposed at a position closest to the front surface 168a of the housing 150, thereby functioning as a windbreak net for the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300, or 400. , Function as a cover to remove dust and leaves. By doing so, the wind can be prevented from entering, or the movement of objects larger than flying creatures, such as plant leaves and garbage, can be prevented by a dielectric formed in a mesh shape. be able to. Furthermore, you may install an armor door and glass in the nearest position of the front surface 168a of the housing | casing 150. FIG. As described above, when a dielectric formed in a mesh shape, an armor door, or glass is provided, it is preferable that light enters to an extent that does not affect the growth of the plant. For example, the light transmittance at this time is preferably 50% or more, and more preferably 60% or more.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to cover the flying organism removing apparatus 100, 200, 300 or 400 particularly in the case of rain or strong wind. Examples of the cover include a material covered with a vinyl sheet, an armored door, a glass door, and the like.

In other words, the tomato leaf with powdery mildew was placed 50 cm from the non-conductive coated copper wire, and the conidia before and after charging was observed with a non-conductive coated copper wire with a microscope (30 seconds, magnification) 250 times). As a result, the conidia were not trapped in the non-conductor-coated copper wire before being charged, but when charged, the conidia was trapped in the non-conductor-coated copper wire.
It was examined whether the trapped conidia germinate and if it proliferated. As a result, conidia germinated but did not proliferate.

A device as shown in FIG. 1 was prepared (however, FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram) and the behavior of conidia was examined. That is, after affixing an aluminum plate of 0.25 × 8 cm to a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm and 0.5 × 10 cm, it is fixed with insulating tape (electrode portion covered with a nonconductor), A polyvinyl chloride coated copper wire was used to connect to a high voltage generator (produced with reference to a high voltage output circuit for a photomultiplier tube). Six electrode parts were set using two 0.5 mm × 1 × 10 cm PET plates (14 in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4) so that the PET parts would be on top at equal intervals in parallel (electrode part 13). 3 of FIG. 3 or FIG. Further, six 0.5 mm × 1 × 10 cm PET plates were set in parallel at equal intervals using two 0.5 mm × 1 × 10 cm PET plates (non-moving portion 11, 11 in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4). ). The electrode portion 13 and the non-moving portion 11 were installed in parallel using four spacers (12 in FIGS. 3 and 4) (the non-moving portion is placed on the dielectric polarization applying portion and the electrode portion). The thickness of the spacer was 7 mm or 9 mm.
This dielectric polarization imparting part was set in part A of FIG. 1, and the electrode part was charged to −15 kV or −5 kV (the other electrode connected to the electrode part was grounded). Then, conidia of tomato powdery mildew were dropped (C) for 3 minutes from above, and adhesion to the dielectric polarization imparting portion was examined.
As a result, in the case where the high voltage is not charged in the dielectric polarization imparting part, the conidia pass and the conidia are observed in the B part. However, when charged, the conidia is adsorbed on the dielectric polarization imparting part and the Nyuko was not observed at any voltage.

Using a copper wire (vinyl-coated copper wire with a thickness of about 1.2 mm) coated with a non-conductor on a polyethylene frame, it was stretched in a vertical and horizontal grid pattern at intervals of about 5 mm, and one end was connected to a high voltage generator ( Dielectric polarization applying part). This dielectric polarization imparting part was set in part A of FIG. 1 and charged to −15 kV or −5 kV (the other electrode connected to the electrode part was grounded). Then, conidia of tomato powdery mildew were dropped (C) for 3 minutes from above, and adhesion to the dielectric polarization imparting portion was examined.
As a result, in the case where the high voltage is not charged in the dielectric polarization imparting part, the conidia pass and the conidia are observed in the B part. However, when charged, the conidia is adsorbed on the dielectric polarization imparting part and the No pups were observed.

The same operation as in Example 2 was performed except that a tomato seedling was placed instead of the slide glass in part B. And tomato seedlings were grown for 8 days.
As a result, in the case where the high voltage was not charged in the dielectric polarization imparting part, the onset of powdery mildew was observed in the tomato seedlings, but the onset of powdery mildew was not observed when charged. Note that this result did not change even when the charge voltage or the spacer interval was changed.

The same operation as in Example 3 was performed except that a tomato seedling was placed instead of the slide glass in part B. And tomato seedlings were grown for 8 days.
As a result, powdery mildew onset of tomato seedlings was observed in cases where a high voltage was not charged in the dielectric polarization imparting part, but powdery mildew onset was not observed when charged. Even if the charge voltage was changed, this result did not change.

The above-mentioned plant protection device 15 was installed in a greenhouse, and the control effect of tomato powdery mildew and small pests (spotted fly, silver leaf whitefly, rust mite) was examined.
The plant protection device 15 has a box shape with a width of 80 cm, a height of 50 cm, and a depth of 50 cm covered with an acrylic resin plate. The flying organism removing apparatus 100 of the second embodiment was installed on the five surfaces (two side surfaces, the upper surface, the front surface, and the back surface) of the plant protection device 15 to function as an electrostatic screen. As the flying organism removing apparatus 100, an apparatus including nine dielectric coated conductors 140 was used. The nine dielectric covered conductors 140 are arranged in a bowl shape so that the gap between adjacent dielectric covered conductors 140 is 3 cm. In the dielectric covered conductor 140, an acrylic cylinder (diameter 1 cm) is used as the dielectric cover 122, and a copper wire is used as the conductor 112, and a copper wire is disposed inside the acrylic cylinder (almost along the axial center line). It is a thing. A negative pole of a DC low current high voltage generator was connected to each of the copper wires, and a positive pole of the DC low current high voltage generator was grounded, so that 20 kV was applied to each of the copper wires.
A healthy tomato seedling (variety: Micro-Tom) was placed inside the plant protection device 15, and a tomato seedling that developed tomato powdery mildew and small pests (spider fly, silver leaf whitefly, rust mite) were bred in the greenhouse. Placed tomato seedlings.
It was applied and grown from the time of seedling until the flower bloomed and became fruitful (about 3 months). As a result, tomato seedlings outside of the plant protection device were found to have powdery mildew and small pests (spotted fly, silver leaf whitefly, rust mite), but none of the tomatoes in the plant protection device was observed. It was.

Also in Example 7, the flying organism removing apparatus 100 of the second embodiment was used. Specifically, a box having a width of 50 cm, a height of 30 cm, and a depth of 25 cm was made of an acrylic resin plate, and twelve dielectric-coated conductors 140 were provided at the center to function the electrostatic screen. The twelve dielectric coated conductors 140 are arranged in a bowl shape so that the gap between adjacent dielectric coated conductors 140 is 1 cm. The dielectric coated conductor 140 is a vinyl chloride coated copper wire (diameter 1.2 mm). Each of these vinyl chloride coated copper wires is connected to the negative pole of a DC low current high voltage generator, and the positive pole of the DC low current high voltage generator is grounded, so that 20 kV is applied to each of the vinyl chloride coated copper wires. did.
In the experiment, 86 mushroom flies (those occurring in the mushroom fungus bed) were released on the left side of the experimental apparatus, and a healthy fungus bed was placed on the right side of the apparatus.
As a result of releasing the mushrooms and observing them for 2 hours, there were no mushrooms that passed through the electrostatic screen and moved to the right side where a healthy fungus bed was placed. In the observation for 2 hours, 21 were captured by the electrostatic screen, 32 were escaped when approaching the electrostatic screen, and 33 were not attempted to enter.
As a comparative example, as a result of carrying out an experiment in which no voltage was applied in the same manner (86 animals were left), 50 animals passed through the cylinder and moved into the right side device on which a healthy fungus bed was placed.

  The method for removing conidia and fungus bodies by dielectric polarization of the present invention can efficiently remove conidia and fungus bodies of phytopathogenic fungi from the air, and there is no ozone generation due to discharge or the like. It can be used to prevent the occurrence of plant diseases without giving any.
