Description

  The present invention relates to a repelling apparatus for cats and the like that detects an immediately preceding passage of a small animal such as a cat using an infrared sensor, and sprays the anaerobic acid around the cat or the like around the passing direction using a connected pump to drive away the cat or the like.

  Cats have the habit of hunting in the same place every day, especially on dry soil, gravel, and grass. Coupled with the abundance of food in urban areas, the number of stray cats is increasing rapidly, and 60 to 80% of detached houses are suffering from the damage. The damage is particularly severe in densely populated areas. Even in the sandboxes of parks, the damage of dung is great and not good for hygiene. For this reason, a device has been devised that does not allow a fence to be installed, but even if it is effective for dogs, cats can easily get over, so it is bad. During the estrus period of cats, the cats cry and suffer from damage that prevents them from sleeping at night.

  Furthermore, cats have the habit of licking wet hair and trying to dry them, or licking their bodies to protect themselves from pests and bacteria and keep their bodies clean.

  Currently, various methods are generally used to keep cats away, such as brewing coffee, rice soup, or commercially available repellents. However, these methods are almost ineffective due to rain, and the repelling device using sound waves is effective at the beginning, but learns as time goes by and is almost ineffective, so there is no reliable method. It seems.

The main objects of the present invention are as follows.
A first object of the present invention is to provide a repelling apparatus for cats and the like that is installed in the vicinity of a beast tract such as cats by automatically spraying a lysate so that the cats and the like are driven away from the garden.

  The second object of the present invention is to provide a repelling device for cats and the like which is compact and can be installed anywhere.

  A third object of the present invention is to provide a repelling device for cats that does not operate when almost no anaerobic fluid such as cats runs out.

  Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the specification, drawings, and particularly the description of each claim.

  Since cats generally dislike water etc., the following was adopted in order to realize this by installing in the place where cats dung, detecting the approach of cats, etc., and automatically sprinkling water. Characteristic constitution means that the operation of the pump is controlled using an infrared sensor, and only when a movement of an animal such as a cat is detected, the pump is sprayed, and these devices are integrated into a waterproof container. Took.

  More specifically, in order to solve the problem, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned object by adopting the following novel characteristic configuration means exemplified in the present invention from the superordinate concept to the subordinate concept. The

  That is, the first feature of the present invention is that an infrared sensor, a pump that operates by infrared detection of the infrared sensor, a tank that stores an anaerobic liquid collected by a liquid collecting pipe of the pump, and a dispersion of the pump. The sprinkler head connected to the tip of the liquid pipe and a power source for operating the infrared sensor and the pump are operated. The pump is operated by the detection of the infrared sensor, and the anaerobic liquid is passed through the sprinkler head. It is in the configuration adoption of a repelling device for cats, etc., which is sprayed on detected cats.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the sprinkler head according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a blade for adjusting a horizontal spray angle of the anaerobic liquid on the back side of the frame, and a spray port of the rotary nozzle. Is installed in the upper part of the head, and is configured to adopt a repelling device such as a cat, which is provided with a blade for restricting water spraying to the elevation angle and narrowing the spraying range.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the pump according to the first aspect of the present invention is electrically connected to the power source through the anaerobic liquid, and the anaerobic liquid in the tank is reduced to a predetermined amount or less by spraying. Thus, the power source and the pump are electrically disconnected, and the repelling device such as a cat is employed so that it does not operate even when the infrared sensor detects the infrared rays.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the power source according to the third aspect of the present invention includes a circuit element that detects a decrease in the anaerobic liquid and causes the lamp to emit light when electrical disconnection from the pump occurs. It is in the configuration adoption of a repelling device such as a cat that is connected.

  A fifth feature of the present invention resides in the adoption of a repelling device such as a cat, in which the anaerobic fluid in the first or second feature of the present invention comprises water itself, an irritant or a stimulating odor.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a repelling apparatus for cats or the like in which the pump, the tank, and the power source in the first, second, or third aspect of the present invention are integrally housed in a waterproof container. It is in configuration adoption.

  Thus, since the device of the present invention uses a portable power source such as a battery or a storage battery, the infrared sensor can be used day and night if it is installed in the vicinity of a beast road such as a cat or the like entering a garden regardless of connection with a commercial power source. Monitoring is continued without distinction, and the pump can be operated without putting any gaps in the last pass, so that the anaerobic fluid in the tank can be sprayed from the rotating nozzle of the sprinkler head to the cat etc. As long as it is surely attached to the lysate, as a habit of cats etc., when licking the scent on the body or smelling the smell, it receives stimuli to dislike the taste and smell, as a learning effect of this experience Cats and the like can be excluded because they do not get close to the place where the apparatus of the present invention is installed.

  Although this type of conventional was weak against rain, the device of the present invention is housed in a waterproof container, so that it does not adversely affect the durability of the device itself or the deterioration of the anaerobic substance enclosed in the tank, In addition, it exerts power-saving effect against the decrease in the amount of hate in the tank, and the lamp is turned on to prompt the replenishment of the hate, so it has excellent effects such as being able to make every effort without neglecting vigilance at all times. Play.

The best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. α is a plastic bottle with the bottom cut out, 1 is a power source for operating the pump and the infrared sensor, 2 is an infrared sensor, 3 is a pump for spraying the anaerobic liquid L, 4 is an anaerobic liquid L to be sprayed A plastic tank, 5 is a sprinkler head, 6 is a liquid collecting pipe penetrating the tank 4 ceiling 4a, and a liquid collecting end is lowered to the bottom 4b, 7 is a jet pipe, 8 is a lamp, and 9 is a NOT logic. Circuit elements 10 are pump ground electrode terminals, and 11 is a power supply ground electrode terminal. These are contained in a plastic bottle α. In the figure, an arrow A indicates the infrared detection direction of the infrared sensor 2.

  The sprinkler head 5 is installed at the tip of the spray pipe 7 and is equipped with blades for adjusting the water spray angle and distance, which will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  A line connecting the power source 1, the infrared sensor 2, and the pump 3 represents a conducting wire. One of the cathode and the anode of the power source 1 is connected to the pump 3 via the infrared sensor 2. The other pole of the power source 1 is not directly connected to the pump 3, and is isolated as a pump ground electrode terminal 10 and a power source ground electrode terminal 11 in the anaerobic liquid L through the tank 4 ceiling 4 a and close to the bottom 4 b. Soaked. This will be described later with reference to FIG. The conductive wire will be described later with reference to FIG.

  As the anaerobic liquid L, water containing chili is used. Since the cat licks the anaerobic L attached to the body, the cat's alertness and fear can be instinctively increased by including an irritant in the anaerobic L scattered in the present invention.

  In addition, by housing the parts group inside the plastic bottle α, it is easy to pass the rain and wind, and the failure rate of the device can be reduced. The inside of the infrared sensor 2 is seen through except for the part corresponding to the infrared emitting part. The paint may be sprayed over the entire outside.

  FIG. 2 is a side view of the sprinkler head. Reference numeral 21 denotes a scattering distance adjusting blade, 22 denotes a scattering angle adjusting blade, 23 denotes a substantially lateral U-shaped frame, and 24 denotes a spraying port provided in a rotating nozzle 25 that rotates by the discharge pressure of the liquid L.

  The scattering distance adjusting blade 21 has a function of adjusting the scattering distance of the anaerobic liquid L by devising the bending angle and covering the upper part of the spray port 24 and suppressing the spraying to the elevation angle. This is intended to apply the anaerobic L to the cat approaching the device of the present invention.

  The scattering angle adjusting blade 22 functions to suppress scattering of the anaerobic liquid L to the rear side by being provided inside the back of the U-shaped frame 23 of the sprinkler head 5. Since the detection of the infrared sensor 2 is only in one direction, it has the effect of suppressing scattering to the rear and preventing dirt and the like from being behind. As shown in FIG. 1, the scattering angle adjusting blade 22 exhibits an effect when the U-shaped frame 23 faces the detection direction of the infrared sensor 2 and the sprinkler head 5 is installed and fixed to the PET bottle α narrow mouth with the attachment member α1.

  FIG. 3 is a front view of the sprinkler head 5 and is equivalent to FIG. In the figure, 26 is a connecting pipe that penetrates the lower part of the U-shaped frame 23, and 27 is a pivot shaft that is suspended from the upper part of the U-shaped frame 23.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a circuit diagram of the present invention. The main circuit is formed by connecting the power source 1, the infrared sensor 2, the pump 3 by the symbol of the motor, and the anaerobic liquid L in the tank 4 in series, and the power source 1, the lamp 8, the NOT logic circuit in a part of the main circuit Element 9 is connected in series to form an attached circuit. The infrared sensor 2 plays a role of a switch, and is turned on when a movement of a cat or the like is detected, and is turned off at other times. The anaerobic liquid L also plays the role of a switch. When the anaerobic liquid L is reduced by the spraying, the pump ground electrode terminal 10 and the power supply ground electrode terminal 11 immersed in the anaerobic liquid L are completely exposed from the anaerobic liquid L. Turns off.

  That is, if movement of a cat or the like is detected by the infrared sensor 2 and the anaerobic liquid L is sufficiently left in the tank 4, the pump 3 operates and the anaerobic liquid L is sprayed. As a result, wasteful power consumption can be suppressed. Further, an attached circuit that senses the amount of the hate liquid L is used, and a device that emits the lamp 8 when the hate liquid L is reduced below a predetermined amount is attached. In this case, since the user can know at a glance the decrease of the lysate L, the replenishment lysate prepared separately from the replenishment port 4c of the tank 4 ceiling 4a by opening the opening / closing door α2 provided on the side near the bottom of the PET bottle α. Fill L. When the tank 4 is replaced with a new tank 4 filled with the absorptive liquid L, it is natural that the liquid collection pipe 6, the pump ground electrode terminal 10, and the power supply ground electrode terminal 11 are reset through the ceiling 4a of the tank 4. .

  That is, when the infrared sensor 2 detects and operates when the tank 4 has an anhydrous L and the current can be conducted between the pump ground electrode terminal 10 and the power supply ground electrode terminal 11, the current flows to the main circuit and the pump 3 operates. The rotating nozzle 25 itself rotates by the discharge pressure at which the anaerobic liquid L is ejected vigorously from the spray port 24 of the sprinkler head 5, and at that time, the flying distance scatters the distance range regulated by the adjusting blade 21 and at the same time the scattering angle adjusting blade. At 22 it is impossible to spray behind. When the anaerobic liquid L falls below a certain level, when the current stops flowing in the main circuit, the NOT logic circuit element 9 of the attached circuit operates, the current flows through the attached circuit, the lamp 8 is turned on, and the necessity to replenish the anaerobic L To inform.

  Here, the PET bottle α is used because the sprinkler head 5 has a mounting height of 30 cm or less, and the amount of spraying is very small and fine water droplets, so there is almost no harm to people. It can be placed in a place that does not pass, and moreover, it is generally used to eliminate cats by adding water, so cats instinctively try to avoid when looking at the plastic bottle α of this embodiment, and once it is anaerobic L This is because cats that are hung up will not be able to approach a simple plastic bottle.

An example using the above-described best embodiment will be described.
However, the pump 3 that operates with four or eight 1.5V batteries and the small gardening sprinkler head 5 are used, and the scattering distance adjusting blade 21 of the sprinkler head 5 has a scattering distance of about 1.5 meters. Adjusted. The pump 3, the sprinkler head 5, and the scattering distance adjusting blade 21 described above are only representative examples, and it goes without saying that embodiments that can achieve the purpose are not limited thereto.
Also, the configuration circuit schematically shown in FIG. 4 may be arbitrarily connected to the power source 1, the infrared sensor 2, the pump 3, and the anaerobic L as long as the same operation is performed. It doesn't need to be mentioned.

The sprinkler head 5 is preferably made of lightweight and small plastic for horticulture, and the tank 4 is preferably made of a material having corrosion resistance to the anaerobic L to be filled.
In addition, chlorine-based detergent solution or acetic acid solution may be used as the absorptive liquid L, or even if it is mere water itself, if it is suddenly sprayed and applied to the body, a tactile sense of cold feeling will be received and it will be astonished. It is effective and is not limited to the plastic bottle α, and may be accommodated in another container.

  As a result of experiments using the above-mentioned apparatus, it was found that cats usually walk slowly, so that they can be easily detected by the infrared sensor 2 and have an excellent repelling and repelling effect by spraying. The cat seemed to be wary not only about the spray but also the sound of the pump 3, so he couldn't get close to the house. In addition, it uses PET bottle α, saves space, is resistant to rain, and saves resources by recycling waste. Needless to say, the present invention is applicable not only to cats but also to repelling small animals such as dogs, mice, weasels, chickens, and crows.
