Description

本発明は、光によって誘引した飛翔昆虫を捕獲する昆虫捕獲器に関する。   The present invention relates to an insect trap that captures flying insects attracted by light.

蚊やハエ、蛾などの飛翔昆虫（以下、単に「昆虫」と言う）が紫外線へ向かって進むという習性を利用し、これらの昆虫を捕獲する昆虫捕獲器が従来から知られている。昆虫を誘引するための紫外線の光源（誘引光源）としては、ブラックライトや水銀ランプなどの放電ランプが一般に使用されており、近年では、紫外線発光ダイオードも用いられている。また、昆虫を捕獲殺虫する手段としては、誘引光源の周辺に配設した電撃用高圧線や、水や殺虫剤を入れた容器等が利用されている（例えば、特許文献１〜３参照）。
特開２００３−７０４０２号公報 特開２００５−５８０５０号公報 特開２００１−８６９１６号公報 2. Description of the Related Art Insect traps that capture flying insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and moths (hereinafter simply referred to as “insects”) that travel toward ultraviolet rays have been known. As an ultraviolet light source (attracting light source) for attracting insects, a discharge lamp such as a black light or a mercury lamp is generally used, and in recent years, an ultraviolet light emitting diode is also used. Moreover, as means for capturing and killing insects, electric shock high-voltage lines disposed around the attracting light source, containers containing water and insecticides, and the like are used (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

しかしながら、誘引光源として放電ランプを用いた場合、誘引光源が大型化すると共に、当該放電ランプ専用の安定器を備える必要があるため、昆虫捕獲器が大きくなり設置場所が限定されるという問題がある。さらに、放電ランプは、内部に水銀を含むものが多いため環境に優しくなく、また、昆虫誘引に寄与する紫外線以外の光、つまり可視光線から赤外線の領域の光を多分に含むためエネルギーの利用効率が悪い。
また、誘引光源として紫外線発光ダイオードを用いた場合、紫外線発光ダイオードは、上記放電ランプと比較して紫外線の発光量が少ないため昆虫の誘引力が弱いという問題がある。誘引力を増強するためには、紫外線発光ダイオードの数を増やしたり、或いは、高出力の紫外線発光ダイオードを用いたり、動作電力を引き上げる等して紫外線量を増加させる必要がある。しかしながら、この場合、紫外線発光ダイオード自身の発熱量が増加して紫外線発光ダイオードの発光効率が低下し、また、寿命が低下することが懸念される。 However, when a discharge lamp is used as an attracting light source, the size of the attracting light source needs to be increased and a ballast dedicated to the discharge lamp needs to be provided. . In addition, many discharge lamps contain mercury in the interior, so they are not environmentally friendly. In addition, they contain a lot of light other than ultraviolet rays that contribute to attracting insects, that is, light in the visible to infrared region. Is bad.
Further, when an ultraviolet light emitting diode is used as the attracting light source, the ultraviolet light emitting diode has a problem that the attracting power of insects is weak because it emits less ultraviolet light than the discharge lamp. In order to enhance the attractive force, it is necessary to increase the amount of ultraviolet light by increasing the number of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, using high-power ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, or raising the operating power. However, in this case, there is a concern that the amount of heat generated by the ultraviolet light-emitting diode itself increases, the luminous efficiency of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode is lowered, and the life is shortened.

本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、昆虫を効率良く誘引することのできる昆虫捕獲器を提供することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of the situation mentioned above, and aims at providing the insect trap which can attract an insect efficiently.

以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、レストランや食品工場、或いは、家庭等の室内に配置して好適な昆虫捕獲器を説明する。
図１は本実施形態に係る昆虫捕獲器１の構成を示す斜視図であり、図２はその断面図である。これらの図に示すように、昆虫捕獲器１は、正面及び背面が共に開口した箱形のケース体２を有し、このケース体２には、正面開口側から順に、紫外線を放射して昆虫を誘引する誘引光源装置３、この誘引光源装置３により誘引された昆虫を捕獲する捕獲装置４、および、小昆虫を通過させないフィルタ装置５が収容されている。また、ケース体２の正面開口は昆虫をケース体２の内部へ誘引する昆虫誘引口６として形成され、背面開口がケース体２内部の空気を排出する空気排出口７として形成されており、これら昆虫誘引口６及び空気排出口７により昆虫誘引口６から空気排出口７に至る風路Ｌがケース体２内に形成される。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, an insect trap suitable for a restaurant, a food factory, or a room in a home will be described.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of an insect trap 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof. As shown in these drawings, the insect trap 1 has a box-shaped case body 2 that is open on both the front and back sides. The case body 2 emits ultraviolet rays in order from the front opening side, and insects are emitted. An attracting light source device 3 that attracts the insect, a capturing device 4 that captures insects attracted by the attracting light source device 3, and a filter device 5 that does not allow small insects to pass through are accommodated. Further, the front opening of the case body 2 is formed as an insect attracting port 6 for attracting insects to the inside of the case body 2, and the rear opening is formed as an air exhaust port 7 for discharging air inside the case body 2. An air passage L extending from the insect attracting port 6 to the air exhaust port 7 is formed in the case body 2 by the insect attracting port 6 and the air exhaust port 7.

昆虫捕獲器１の室内への設置について説明すると、図２に示すように、室内の壁面１００には、空気調和装置の室内機１０１が設置されており、この室内機１０１の空気吸込口１０２及び空気吹出口１０３のうちの空気吸込口１０２の正面に、昆虫捕獲器１の背面側を密着させて設置される。これにより、室内機１０１のファン１０４による空気吸込動作に伴って、昆虫捕獲器１の昆虫誘引口６からケース体２内部に空気が導入され、誘引光源装置３、捕獲装置４及びフィルタ装置５を通過して空気排出口７から排出されることとなる。   The indoor installation of the insect trap 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, an indoor unit 101 of an air conditioner is installed on a wall surface 100 of the room, and an air suction port 102 of the indoor unit 101 and The back side of the insect trap 1 is installed in close contact with the front surface of the air inlet 102 of the air outlet 103. Accordingly, air is introduced into the case body 2 from the insect attracting port 6 of the insect trap 1 in accordance with the air suction operation by the fan 104 of the indoor unit 101, and the attracting light source device 3, the trapping device 4 and the filter device 5 are moved. It passes through and is discharged from the air outlet 7.

上記誘引光源装置３は、図３に示すように、略矩形に組まれた枠体３０を有し、この枠体３０には、バー形状の実装基板３１が所定間隔で複数（図示例では３つ）取り付けられており、各実装基板３１の間隙３２及び実装基板３１と枠体３０との間隙３３によって通風構造が形成されている。各実装基板３１には、複数の紫外線発光ダイオード３４及び白色発光ダイオード３５が取り付けられており、各紫外線発光ダイオード３４及び白色発光ダイオード３５の光放射方向を昆虫誘引口６に向けた姿勢で本誘引光源装置３がケース体２に内設される。   As shown in FIG. 3, the attraction light source device 3 has a frame body 30 assembled in a substantially rectangular shape. A plurality of bar-shaped mounting substrates 31 are provided on the frame body 30 at predetermined intervals (in the illustrated example, 3 The ventilation structure is formed by the gaps 32 between the respective mounting boards 31 and the gaps 33 between the mounting board 31 and the frame body 30. A plurality of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes 34 and white light-emitting diodes 35 are attached to each mounting substrate 31, and the main attraction is performed with the light emission directions of the ultraviolet light-emitting diodes 34 and the white light-emitting diodes 35 facing the insect attracting openings 6. The light source device 3 is installed in the case body 2.

ここで、上記紫外線発光ダイオード３４を昆虫の視感度曲線に基づいて決定することとし、本実施形態では、紫外線発光ダイオード３４に３６５ｎｍにピーク波長を有するものを用いることとし、これについて以下に詳述する。
図４は、ショウジョウバエ類の走光性の視感度曲線であり、破線で示す曲線ＩはBickford曲線を示し、一点鎖線で示す曲線ＩＩはBertholf-Drosophila曲線を示す。この図に示すように、視感度のピークは波長３５５ｎｍ〜３８０ｎｍの波長帯域Ａに存在し、この波長帯域Ａの光が昆虫を最も誘引する。したがって、この波長帯域Ａにピーク波長を有する紫外線発光ダイオードを誘引光源として用いることで昆虫を効率良く誘引することが可能となる。そこで、本実施形態では、３６５ｎｍにピーク波長を有する紫外線発光ダイオード３４を用いている。この上記紫外線発光ダイオード３４の波長分布を曲線ＩＩＩにて示す。この曲線ＩＩＩが示すように、紫外線発光ダイオード３４の波長分布は上記視感度曲線のピークを示す波長帯域Ａに殆ど内包されている。すなわち、当該紫外線発光ダイオード３４を誘引光源として用いることで、紫外線発光ダイオード３４が発する光の殆どが昆虫の誘引に寄与するため効率の良い誘引光源が構成されることとなる。
なお、一般的な紫外線発光ダイオードとして用いられる３９０ｎｍにピーク波長を有する発光ダイオードであっても昆虫を誘引可能であるが、同図に曲線ＩＶにて示すように、上記波長帯域Ａから外れた波長域にピーク波長があるため、本実施形態の紫外線発光ダイオード３４に対して昆虫を誘引する効果が低下する。 Here, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 is determined based on the insect visibility curve, and in this embodiment, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 having a peak wavelength of 365 nm is used, which will be described in detail below. To do.
FIG. 4 is a photosensitivity curve of phototaxis of Drosophila. Curve I shown by a broken line shows a Bickford curve, and curve II shown by a one-dot chain line shows a Bertholf-Drosophila curve. As shown in this figure, the peak of visibility exists in the wavelength band A of wavelengths 355 nm to 380 nm, and the light in this wavelength band A attracts insects most. Therefore, it is possible to attract insects efficiently by using an ultraviolet light emitting diode having a peak wavelength in this wavelength band A as an attracting light source. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 having a peak wavelength at 365 nm is used. The wavelength distribution of the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 is shown by curve III. As shown by the curve III, the wavelength distribution of the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 is almost included in the wavelength band A indicating the peak of the visibility curve. That is, by using the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 as an attracting light source, most of the light emitted from the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 contributes to attracting insects, so that an efficient attracting light source is configured.
Note that even a light-emitting diode having a peak wavelength at 390 nm used as a general ultraviolet light-emitting diode can attract insects. However, as shown by a curve IV in FIG. Since there is a peak wavelength in the region, the effect of attracting insects to the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 of the present embodiment is reduced.

また、図４に示すように、昆虫の視感度は約４２０ｎｍ〜約６００ｎｍの波長帯域Ｂにも比較的大きなピークを有する。そこで、本実施形態では、図５に示すように、当該波長帯域Ｂを含む光を放射する白色発光ダイオード３５を上記紫外線発光ダイオード３４と共に誘引光源装置３に補助的に設けることで、昆虫の誘引効果をより高めることとし、また、上記視感度曲線より若干長波長側にずれた波長帯域に視感度を有する昆虫をも誘引可能としている。ここで、波長帯域Ａに比べて波長帯域Ｂの視感度は小さいため、各白色発光ダイオード３５による白色光光量は各紫外線発光ダイオード３４による紫外線光量より少なくても十分である。したがって、に紫外線発光ダイオード３４及び白色発光ダイオード３５のそれぞれの配置数は、例えば、波長帯域Ａと波長帯域Ｂとのピーク強度の比率と、紫外線光量と白色光光量との比率とが略同程度になるよう決定される。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the insect visibility has a relatively large peak in the wavelength band B of about 420 nm to about 600 nm. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the white light-emitting diode 35 that emits light including the wavelength band B is provided in the attractive light source device 3 together with the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34, thereby attracting insects. The effect is further enhanced, and insects having visibility in a wavelength band slightly shifted to the longer wavelength side than the visibility curve can be attracted. Here, since the visibility in the wavelength band B is smaller than that in the wavelength band A, it is sufficient that the amount of white light emitted by each white light emitting diode 35 is smaller than the amount of ultraviolet light emitted by each ultraviolet light emitting diode 34. Therefore, the number of each of the ultraviolet light emitting diodes 34 and the white light emitting diodes 35 is, for example, approximately the same as the ratio of the peak intensity between the wavelength band A and the wavelength band B and the ratio of the ultraviolet light quantity and the white light quantity. Determined to be.

さて、上記捕獲装置４は、図６に示すように、誘引光源装置３に誘引された昆虫を捕獲するための粘着シート４１と、この粘着シート４１を支持する略矩形の枠体４０と、枠体４０の底部に一体に設けられた把持部４４とを有している。粘着シート４１はメッシュ状に形成されて空気を通す通風構造を有している。また、枠体４０は、前面枠４０Ａと背面枠４０Ｂとを有し、前面枠４０Ａが枠体４０の上縁部４２を軸として背面枠４０Ｂに対し正面側（矢印Ｘにて示す）に開放自在に取り付けられている。粘着シート４１を枠体４０にセット或いは交換する際には、前面枠４０Ａを開放させて当該前面枠４０Ａと背面枠４０Ｂとの間に粘着シート４１をセットして粘着シート４１を前面枠４０Ａ及び背面枠４０Ｂに挟持させ、前面枠４０Ａ及び背面枠４０Ｂを螺子４３により締結する。   Now, as shown in FIG. 6, the capturing device 4 includes an adhesive sheet 41 for capturing insects attracted by the attracting light source device 3, a substantially rectangular frame 40 that supports the adhesive sheet 41, and a frame And a grip 44 provided integrally with the bottom of the body 40. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 41 is formed in a mesh shape and has a ventilation structure through which air passes. The frame body 40 has a front frame 40A and a back frame 40B, and the front frame 40A is opened to the front side (indicated by an arrow X) with respect to the back frame 40B with the upper edge portion 42 of the frame body 40 as an axis. It is attached freely. When setting or exchanging the adhesive sheet 41 to the frame body 40, the front frame 40A is opened, the adhesive sheet 41 is set between the front frame 40A and the back frame 40B, and the adhesive sheet 41 is attached to the front frame 40A and The front frame 40 </ b> A and the back frame 40 </ b> B are fastened by screws 43 while being held between the back frame 40 </ b> B.

また、昆虫捕獲器１のケース体２には、前掲図２に示すように、捕獲装置４が挿入される挿入口１０と、捕獲装置４の上縁部４２と係合する受部１１とが設けられ、捕獲装置４がケース体２に対して着脱自在になされおり、粘着シート４１に昆虫が多量に捕獲されている等して粘着シート４１を交換する際には、把持部４４を持って捕獲装置４をケース体２から引き出すことで、粘着シート４１を簡単に交換することができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the case body 2 of the insect trap 1 includes an insertion port 10 into which the trap device 4 is inserted and a receiving portion 11 that engages with the upper edge portion 42 of the trap device 4. The catching device 4 is detachably attached to the case body 2, and when the adhesive sheet 41 is exchanged due to a large amount of insects being captured by the adhesive sheet 41, the holding device 44 is held. By pulling out the capture device 4 from the case body 2, the adhesive sheet 41 can be easily replaced.

以上の構成の下、誘引光源装置３の各紫外線発光ダイオード３４及び白色発光ダイオード３５を点灯させて紫外光及び白色光を昆虫誘引口６から放射することで、室内の昆虫がケース体２に誘引され、捕獲装置４の粘着シート４１に粘着されて捕獲される。このとき、室内機１０１が稼働することで、例えば一般的な家庭用空気調和装置であっても空気吸込口１０２付近では毎秒０．５〜１．０ｍの流速が得られ、これにより、ケース体２の昆虫誘引口６から空気が吸い込まれ、この空気により紫外線発光ダイオード３４及び白色発光ダイオード３５が空冷される。また、昆虫誘引口６からの空気の吸い込みに伴い、昆虫捕獲器１の近傍を飛翔する昆虫が昆虫誘引口６に誘引され易くなる。   Under the above configuration, the ultraviolet light emitting diodes 34 and the white light emitting diodes 35 of the attracting light source device 3 are turned on to emit ultraviolet light and white light from the insect attracting port 6, so that insects in the room are attracted to the case body 2. Then, it is adhered and captured by the adhesive sheet 41 of the capturing device 4. At this time, by operating the indoor unit 101, for example, even in a general home air conditioner, a flow rate of 0.5 to 1.0 m per second is obtained in the vicinity of the air suction port 102, whereby the case body The air is sucked from the second insect attracting opening 6, and the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 and the white light emitting diode 35 are cooled by the air. In addition, the insect flying near the insect trap 1 is easily attracted to the insect attracting port 6 as air is sucked from the insect attracting port 6.

このように、本実施形態によれば、波長３５５ｎｍ〜３８０ｎｍの間にピーク波長を有する紫外線発光ダイオード３４で誘引光源装置３を構成したため、誘引光源装置３から放射される紫外線の波長分布が視感度曲線のピークの波長帯域Ａに殆ど内包されることとなる。これにより、誘引光源装置３から発する光の殆どが昆虫の誘引に寄与するため、効率良く昆虫を誘引できる。
また、誘引効果を維持しつつ従来のものよりも誘引光源装置３の発光量を抑えることが可能となるため、誘引光源装置３の消費電力及び発熱を抑え、誘引光源装置３を構成する紫外線発光ダイオード３４の長寿命化が達成される。
また、誘引光源装置３として紫外線発光ダイオード３４を採用したために、簡単な点灯回路および構造で、かつ小型の昆虫捕獲器１を構成することができ、デザイン性に優れ、効率のよい低消費電力の昆虫捕獲器１を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the induced light source device 3 is configured by the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 having a peak wavelength between the wavelengths 355 nm and 380 nm. Therefore, the wavelength distribution of the ultraviolet rays emitted from the induced light source device 3 is the visibility. It is almost included in the wavelength band A of the peak of the curve. Thereby, since most of the light emitted from the attracting light source device 3 contributes to attracting insects, the insects can be attracted efficiently.
Moreover, since it becomes possible to suppress the light emission amount of the attracting light source device 3 as compared with the conventional one while maintaining the attracting effect, the power consumption and heat generation of the attracting light source device 3 are suppressed, and the ultraviolet light emission constituting the attracting light source device 3 is achieved. Longer life of the diode 34 is achieved.
In addition, since the ultraviolet light emitting diode 34 is adopted as the attracting light source device 3, the small insect trap 1 can be configured with a simple lighting circuit and structure, and is excellent in design and efficient in low power consumption. An insect trap 1 can be provided.

また、本実施形態によれば、誘引光源装置３に白色発光ダイオード３５を更に設けたため、昆虫の誘引効果をより高めることが可能となり、また、昆虫の視感度曲線より若干長波長側にずれた波長帯域に視感度を有する昆虫をも誘引することができる。
さらに、室内の比較的暗い場所においては、白色発光ダイオード３５の光を常夜灯として用いることもできる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, since the attracting light source device 3 is further provided with the white light emitting diode 35, it is possible to further enhance the insect attracting effect, and slightly shift to the longer wavelength side from the insect visibility curve. Insects having visibility in the wavelength band can also be attracted.
Furthermore, in a relatively dark place in the room, the light from the white light emitting diode 35 can be used as a night light.

また、本実施形態によれば、ケース体２に空気排出口７を形成し、昆虫誘引口６から空気排出口７に至る風路Ｌを設け、当該風路Ｌ上に誘引光源装置３を配置して空冷する構成としたため、誘引光源装置３を構成する紫外線発光ダイオード３４の温度上昇を抑制し、以って、紫外線発光ダイオード３４の長寿命化が達成されると共に、温度上昇に伴う紫外線発光ダイオード３４の光出力低下を防止し、効率良く昆虫を誘引することができる。
特に、昆虫誘引口６から空気を導入する構成であるため、昆虫捕獲器１の近傍を飛翔する昆虫を空気の流れに乗せてケース体２に誘引させ易くすることができる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the air discharge port 7 is formed in the case body 2, the air path L from the insect attracting port 6 to the air exhaust port 7 is provided, and the attracting light source device 3 is arranged on the air path L. Therefore, the temperature rise of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 constituting the attracting light source device 3 is suppressed, so that the life of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 34 is extended and the ultraviolet light emission accompanying the temperature rise is achieved. It is possible to prevent the light output of the diode 34 from being lowered and attract insects efficiently.
In particular, since the air is introduced from the insect attracting port 6, it is possible to easily attract the insect flying in the vicinity of the insect trap 1 to the case body 2 on the air flow.

さらに、本実施形態によれば、捕獲装置４に通風構造を持たせたため、ケース体２内の空気の流れを遮ることが無く、以って、誘引光源装置３の空冷作用を維持することができる。特に、本実施形態によれば、捕獲装置４がメッシュ状の粘着シート４１を有し、当該粘着シート４１により昆虫を粘着させて捕獲する構成であり、なおかつ、ケース体２に対して着脱自在な構成であるため、電撃用高圧線により昆虫を捕獲・殺傷する構成に比べて高電圧用の電源が不要となり、また、水や殺虫剤により昆虫を捕獲・殺傷する構成に比べて捕獲用の受け皿等が不要となるため、装置のコンパクト化が図られると共に、装置のデザイン性の自由度を増し、また、粘着シート４１の交換作業を簡単に行うことができる。
また、電撃用高圧線のように昆虫捕獲時に電撃音や昆虫の死骸が散乱するといったことが無いため、室内に居る者に不快感を与えることもない。 Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the trapping device 4 has a ventilation structure, the air flow in the case body 2 is not blocked, and thus the air cooling function of the attracting light source device 3 can be maintained. it can. In particular, according to the present embodiment, the capture device 4 has a mesh-like adhesive sheet 41, is configured to adhere and capture insects with the adhesive sheet 41, and is detachable from the case body 2. Because it is a configuration, a high-voltage power supply is not required compared to a configuration that captures and kills insects with a high-voltage line for electric shock, and a catching tray for capturing insects compared to a configuration that captures and kills insects with water and insecticides Therefore, the apparatus can be made compact, the degree of freedom in design of the apparatus can be increased, and the adhesive sheet 41 can be easily replaced.
