  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can be used not only for repelling pests such as cats but also for watering gardens, parks, flower beds, turf, etc., and water pipes are provided. The problem is to create a structure that can be used even in locations that are not available and that can stand up stably.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a water injection means at the upper end of a liquid supply pipe erected from the upper wall of the water storage tank at the lower end, and a control box at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the liquid supply pipe. It is a stand type that interposes
The control box includes an opening / closing valve for the liquid supply pipe, an infrared sensor for detecting a harmful animal, a temperature sensor for correcting a detection signal of the infrared sensor, and for repelling and watering the harmful animal by manual or wireless signal.

A pest-repelling device that is also used for watering is provided.

  According to the water sprinkling pest repelling device of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the liquid sprayed toward the pest is made up of a water storage tank as a stand-type lower end support and is erected from the upper wall of the lower end support. A control box is installed in the middle of the upper and lower positions of the liquid pipe, and a water injection means that is a sprinkler is attached to the upper end. The water storage tank is a support base at the lower end. Thus, the center of gravity of the device can be the lower end portion, and the device can be erected in a stable state, and the device can be prevented from falling.

Specifically, the water storage tank is a cylindrical container or a conical container whose height is smaller than the diameter, and has a sense of stability.
The water storage tank includes, for example, an annular pedestal portion and a water storage portion including the cylindrical container on the pedestal portion, and the diameter of the pedestal portion or the diameter of the lower end of the cylindrical container is above the water storage portion. 4 to 10 times the diameter of the liquid supply pipe standing from the center of the wall, and the water storage amount of the water storage section is 200 to 5000 cc,
Furthermore, it is preferable that the ratio (H / L) between the diameter dimension (L) of the pedestal portion and the height dimension (H) from the lower end of the liquid feeding pipe to the upper end of the water injection means is 1 to 5.
The total weight of the device of the present invention is preferably 3 to 5 kg when the water tank is empty, and 4 to 10 kg when water is stored in the water tank.

  The water storage tank preferably has a structure in which a plurality of water storage tanks having different water storage amounts are prepared, can be selected and used, and the liquid supply pipe is detachably attached to the water storage tank. . When using it in a place where it cannot be connected to the water supply, using a large water storage tank with a water storage capacity of about 1000 to 5000 cc makes it possible to sufficiently repel harmful animals, and allows multiple injections. It is also effective for watering agricultural land.

In the said patent document 1, since it uses connecting with water supply, it cannot be used in the place where the water pipe is not piped in the vegetable garden etc. away from people's homes, but in this invention, since the water storage tank is provided, the water pipe Can be moved to a place where no pipe is installed. At that time, the water in the water storage tank can be drained to reduce the weight, and the water storage tank and the liquid supply pipe can be disassembled, downsized and moved. It is only necessary to inject water into the inside, which is convenient for movement. In addition, you may move this apparatus in the state stored in the water storage tank.
Furthermore, if a battery accommodating part is provided in the control box as described above and, for example, four AA batteries are accommodated, it can be operated even in a place where there is no electrical wiring as in the case of water pipes.

It is preferable that a control box is attached in the middle of the liquid feeding pipe, an infrared sensor for detecting harmful animals is installed in the control box, and the infrared sensor is disposed at a height of 25 to 60 cm above the ground.
In addition, in the present invention, the detection angle range of the infrared sensor is set to a wide range of about 90 °, and the detection distance is set to 0.2 to 12 m, so that a pest can be reliably detected over a wide range in the angle range. It is preferable to do so.
Moreover, in order to apply spray water to the detected harmful animal, the spray distance of water from the water spray means of the present invention is set to 0.2 to 12 m equivalent to the detection range, and the spray pressure is set to ² to 4 kg / cm ² . It is preferable. The injection pressure is adjusted by increasing the tap water pressure through the orifice of the injection nozzle.
Further, since the water spraying unit is also used for watering the garden flower bed, lawn, etc., the water spraying means is provided with a rotating nozzle that can adjust the spraying distance, spraying angle and spraying direction of the sprayed water from the spraying port. .
Furthermore, a threatening sound for repelling harmful animals may be generated during water injection.

  In the apparatus of the present invention, as described above, the temperature sensor is provided to correct the detection signal of the infrared sensor. This is because if the outside air temperature is close to the body temperature of the pest at high temperatures in summer, the detection sensitivity may deteriorate and the pest may not be detected. An infrared sensor temperature correction circuit is provided according to the outside air temperature. This makes it easier to detect and increase sensitivity at high temperatures in summer and daytime, and lowers sensitivity at low temperatures in winter and at night to prevent malfunctions.

Specifically, when the amplitude of the detection signal of the infrared sensor becomes larger than a set threshold value, it is determined that the animal is a harmful animal, and the threshold value of the amplitude is determined as a threshold value of a determination criterion when the outside air temperature measured by the temperature sensor becomes high. On the other hand, the amplitude which becomes a threshold value is set large when the outside air temperature becomes low.
That is, since the amplitude of the detection signal of the infrared sensor decreases as the outside air temperature becomes high and approaches the body temperature of the target animal to be repelled, the threshold value is reduced so that the animal can be detected reliably. On the other hand, by increasing the threshold of the amplitude of the detection signal of the infrared sensor as the outside air temperature becomes low and moves away from the body temperature of the pests, it is possible to prevent misjudgment as a pest even though there are no pests. Yes.

Furthermore, this apparatus is provided with an operation switch for selection so that it can be used not only for repelling harmful beasts but also for sprinkling water to flower beds, lawns, vegetable gardens and the like.
The operation switch is provided with a manual switch or a receiver capable of wirelessly receiving a transmission signal from a transmitter so as to be switched by a wireless signal. Furthermore, a timer may be provided.
The on-off valve that receives the detection signal of the infrared sensor and the signal from the operation switch and is opened and closed by the control panel is preferably an electromagnetic valve.

  According to the said structure, when the water storage tank is supplied from tap water, it can inject through a liquid feeding pipe | tube through a water storage tank using a tap water pressure. In particular, when water is sprayed for a long time for water spraying, it is preferable to always connect with tap water.

When water is stored in the water storage tank and the joint portion is closed, a pressure pump is attached to the water storage tank, and the water stored in the water storage tank is pressurized by the pressure pump to inject water from the injection port. ing.
When the pressurizing pump cannot be connected to a power source, it is driven by using a battery in a battery housing section to which a manual pressurizing pump is attached or attached, and pressurized air is supplied into the water storage tank to supply water in the water storage tank. Is preferably pressurized. In addition, when a pressure gauge for measuring the pressure in the water tank is provided and the pressure is manually increased, the pressure is stopped when the pressure in the water tank falls below a predetermined value, while the water tank measured with the pressure gauge is stopped. When the water pressure of the water tank becomes equal to or lower than the set value, the pressure pump is automatically operated, and the pressure in the water storage tank may always be set to a predetermined value or higher.
When pressurizing the inside of a water storage tank using a pressurizing pump, it is preferable that the amount of water storage be 2/3 or less of the capacity of the water storage tank.
In this way, even when the water stored in the water storage tank is injected without being connected to the tap water, the on-off valve is opened by pressurizing the water so that the water pressure is the same as the tap water pressure. Water can be jetted when opened.

A mesh container attaching portion is provided on the upper wall portion of the water storage tank, a mesh container containing a water-soluble drug is attached to the mesh container attaching portion, the mesh container is suspended in the tank, It is preferable that the water-soluble drug is immersed in the liquid stored in the tank.
According to the said structure, when the water-soluble chemical | medical animal which a harmful animal dislikes is melt | dissolved in the liquid stored by the water storage tank and it makes an anaerobic liquid, the harmful animal repelling effect can be improved more. Examples of the water-soluble drug include wood vinegar.
Furthermore, if a pest is disliked and a pest-removing agent is used for the plant, the water in the water storage tank can be effectively used in both cases of pest repelling and watering.
Further, if a solid paint is accommodated in a mesh container instead of a water-soluble drug and the paint is dissolved in a liquid to form a color paint, an invading cat or the like can be identified.

As described above, in the water sprinkling pest repelling device of the present invention, the center of gravity is at the lower end because it is a stand type having a tank that can store water that can be repelled by spraying toward a cat or a pest as a lower end support. It is possible to make it stand in a stable state and prevent the device from falling.
In addition, it can be connected to the water supply so that it can function as a sprinkler for flower beds, lawns, and vegetable gardens, and since it has a water storage tank, it can be moved and installed in places where it cannot be connected to the water supply. be able to. And when moving, if the water storage tank is emptied, the weight during movement can be reduced.
Furthermore, the detection range is a wide angle and long distance range by the infrared sensor, so it is excellent in detecting the pests, and the detection signal of the infrared sensor is corrected by the temperature sensor, so the outside air temperature has changed. However, it has various advantages such as being able to reliably detect pests.

The outer shape of the water storage tank 12 at the lower end is larger than that of the control box 14 and the water injection means 11, and the entire apparatus 10 is a stand type.

  In the present apparatus 10, as shown in FIG. 2, the liquid feeding pipe 13 is composed of a lower liquid feeding pipe 50, an upper liquid feeding pipe 51, and a central liquid feeding pipe 52, and is provided in the center provided in the water storage tank 12 and the control box 14. The liquid supply pipe 52 is connected by the lower liquid supply pipe 50, and the central liquid supply pipe 52 and the water injection means 11 provided in the control box 14 are connected by the upper liquid supply pipe 51 to assemble the water supply means 11. The box 14 and the water storage tank 12 can be separated. Therefore, the apparatus 10 can be transported in a compact manner by separating. In addition, by changing the lengths of the upper and lower liquid feeding pipes, the ground height positions of the water ejecting means 11 and the infrared sensor 15 can be changed.

  The lower liquid supply pipe 50 that connects the water storage tank 12 and the central liquid supply pipe 52 provided in the control box 14 has a long cylindrical shape with a threaded portion on the outer peripheral surface at the lower end and the inner peripheral surface at the upper end.

The upper end portion is screwed to the connecting portion 11 a of the water injection means 11 while being screwed to the connecting portion 52 b of 52. An opening / closing valve 18 is interposed in the central liquid feeding pipe 52 accommodated in the case 14 a of the control box 14. The water storage tank 12, the case 14a of the control box 14, and the liquid feeding pipe 13 are made of resin.

As shown in FIG. 3, the water storage tank 12 includes an annular pedestal portion 12a and a water storage portion 12b at the upper portion of the pedestal portion 12a. The diameter dimension (L) of the pedestal portion 12a is the upper wall of the water storage portion 12b. The diameter is 4 to 10 times the diameter of the liquid feeding pipe 13 (lower liquid feeding pipe 50) that is erected from the center. In this embodiment, the diameter of the feed pipe 13 is 30 mm.
In the present embodiment, a water storage tank having a water storage amount of 1000 to 5000 cc in the hollow portion S1 of the water storage portion 12b is used, and the water in the water storage portion S1 is supplied to the water injection means 11 through the hollow portion S2 of the liquid supply pipe 13. ing.
Furthermore, the ratio (H / L) between the diameter dimension (L) of the pedestal portion 12a and the height dimension (H) from the lower end of the liquid feeding pipe 13 to the upper end of the water injection means 11 is set to 1-5.

The water storage part 12b is provided in a bridge shape on the opposite part of the pedestal part 12a, and a joint part 12d for connection with a hose (not shown) connected to the water pipe is provided on the side surface of the water storage part 12b.
The joint portion 12d is in an open position when the hose is connected, and is in a closed position when not connected to the hose.
Further, an annular metal weight 22 surrounding the periphery of the feed pipe 13 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the water storage tank 12. Note that the weight 22 may not be provided as long as the liquid can be stored in the water storage tank 12 so that the apparatus 10 can stably stand by itself.

The water injection means 11 can adjust the injection angle, the injection direction, and the injection distance, the injection distance can be adjusted within a range from 1 m to a maximum of 12 m, and the injection port 11d can be rotated within a range of 20 to 360 °. It consists of a rotating nozzle that can be used.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the water injection means 11 comprising a rotating nozzle has a main body portion 11b rotatably attached to the connecting portion 11a, and the main body portion 11b projects upward from the upper end of the connecting portion 11a. The injection cylinder 11c is provided, and the injection port 11d is protruded obliquely upward from the side surface of the supply cylinder 11c. An orifice is provided in the hollow portion of the nozzle to increase the injection pressure.

  The main body 11b has a front frame 11f extending in the water injection direction, a rear frame 11g extending upward on the opposite side of the water injection direction, a front frame 11f, and a rear at the upper end of the feed cylinder 11c. A frame portion 11i is provided that includes an upper frame 11h that connects the tips of the side frames 11g and extends forward and backward.

Hereinafter, the adjustment mechanism for the injection distance, the injection angle, and the injection direction will be described in detail.
In the injection distance adjusting mechanism, a screw 60 for adjusting the injection distance is attached to the tip of the front frame 11f. As shown in FIG. 6, the screw 60 is adjusted to change the amount of protrusion of the screw 60 disposed in front of the injection port 11d, and the amount of collision between the water injected from the injection port 11d and the screw 60 is changed. Is adjusted. That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), the protrusion amount of the screw 60 is lengthened to shorten the injection distance, and conversely, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), the protrusion amount of the screw 60 is decreased to reduce the injection distance. The distance is long.

The adjustment mechanism for the injection angle and the injection distance is such that the flight distance adjustment dial 61 is rotatably attached to the upper frame 11h, and the adjustment plate 62 urged by the spring B1 is attached in front of the dial to adjust the flight distance. The tilt angle of the adjustment plate 62 is changed by rotating the dial 61. The water sprayed from the injection port 11d is sprayed with the injection pressure adjusted by the screw 60, hits the tip 62a of the adjustment plate 62, and is adjusted. The jetting distance and jetting angle of water are adjusted by the inclination angle of 62.
That is, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the state where the adjustment plate 62 is almost horizontal, the injection angle of the water w injected from the injection port 11d only slightly changes, whereas FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the tip end side of the adjustment plate 62 is further inclined downward, the injection angle of the water w injected from the injection port 11d changes more greatly, and the injection distance becomes shorter.

  The adjusting mechanism for the injection direction is rotatably attached between the upper end of the feeding cylinder portion 11c of the main body portion 11b and the upper frame 11h in a state in which the rotating arm 63 is urged clockwise by the spring B2. . The rotating arm 63 protrudes in a direction in which the front arm portion 63b and the rear arm portion 63c bent from the rotating shaft portion 63a face each other. When the water jetted from the jet port 11d hits the front arm portion 63b, the rotating arm 63 rotates counterclockwise, and when the water hits the front arm portion 63b, the water jetted from the jet port 11d is screw 60. And it hits the adjustment plate 62 and is jetted forward.

Furthermore, it is a mechanism that generates a threatening sound during injection.
When the rotating arm 63 rotates and water does not hit the front arm portion 63b, the rotating arm 63 is urged by the spring B2 and rotates clockwise. When the rotating arm 63 returns to the original position by the urging force of the spring B2, the rear arm portion 63c of the rotating arm 63 collides with the rear frame 11g and generates a collision sound that threatens a pest. In addition, due to this impact, the main body portion 11b rotates by a required angle in the clockwise direction, and the injection port 11d provided in the main body portion 11b also rotates by the required angle in the clockwise direction.
Thus, when the rotating arm 63 returns to the original position, water hits the front arm portion 63b of the rotating arm 63 again, and repeats the counterclockwise rotation and the clockwise rotation as described above. Each time this operation is repeated, a collision sound is generated between the rear arm 63c and the rear frame 11g, the main body 11b rotates clockwise, and the injection port 11d also rotates clockwise.

  Further, the main body 11b is provided with an accommodating portion 11j for accommodating the two first levers 65 and the second lever 66 at a position below the front arm portion 63b of the rotating arm 63, and the first and second levers 65 and 66 are provided. Are biased by springs (not shown). When the first and second levers 65 and 66 are in the state shown in FIG. 8A, the main body portion 11b is always rotated clockwise, while the first and second levers 65 and 66 are rotated as shown in FIG. In the state, the main body 11b is always rotated counterclockwise. At this time, the injection range is all around 360 °.

  Two jetting range adjusting members 64 that can be manually rotated are attached to the connecting portion 11a side of the water jetting unit 11 in a state where they are superposed one above the other. The injection range adjusting member 64 has a projecting piece 64b projecting sideways from a mounting portion 64a that is fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 11a. As shown in FIG. 9, two injection range adjusting members are provided. The angle α between the projecting piece portions 64b is adjusted by manually rotating 64, and the space between these projecting piece portions 64b is set as an injection range.

  In the case 14 a of the control box 14, an infrared sensor 15 for detecting a pest, a temperature sensor 16 for measuring the outside air temperature, a control panel 17, and an on-off valve control signal from the control panel 17, a feed pipe 13. The on-off valve 18 which consists of an electromagnetic valve which opens and closes is accommodated.

Further, the case 14a is provided with a battery accommodating portion 20 for accommodating the dry batteries 21 serving as the power sources for the sensors 15, 16, the control panel 17, and the opening / closing valve 18, and the opening / closing lid 20a of the battery accommodating portion 20 is attached to the lower surface of the case 14a. ing. In the present embodiment, the battery storage unit 20 stores four AA batteries.
Furthermore, an operation switch 40 for switching between the harmful animal repelling mode and the watering mode is provided on the lower surface of the case 14a.
The control panel 17 receives detection signals from the infrared sensor 15 and the temperature sensor 16 and a switching signal from the operation switch 40, and controls the opening and closing valve 18 based on these input signals, as will be described later. ing.

  The side wall of the case 14 is provided with an opening at a position facing the infrared sensor 15 accommodated therein, and a transparent lens 19 is attached to the opening. The configuration is such that surrounding pests can be detected by the infrared sensor 15 through the lens 19. In the present embodiment, the detection range of the infrared sensor 15 is set to a range of about 80 degrees in the horizontal direction across the horizontal infrared central irradiation line, and the detection distance is in the range of 0.2 to 12 m. It is adjustable.

The output signal from the infrared sensor 15 is once inputted to an amplifier (not shown) provided in the control panel 17 and amplified.
The signal amplified by the amplifier is input to a comparator (not shown) provided in the control panel 17, and if the amplitude of the signal exceeds a threshold set by the comparator, it is determined that a pest has been detected. Then, an on / off valve control signal is transmitted from the control panel 17 to the on / off valve 18, the on / off valve 18 is opened, and water is injected from the water injection means 11.
Conversely, if the amplitude of the signal input to the comparator does not exceed the threshold set by the comparator, it is determined that no pest has been detected, and the on-off valve 18 remains closed.

Further, a signal from the temperature sensor 16 is input to the comparator of the control panel 17, and the threshold value of the comparator is corrected according to the signal from the temperature sensor 16.
That is, the sensitivity is increased by reducing the threshold value of the comparator as the outside air temperature rises and approaches the temperature of the pest to be repelled, and the on-off valve 18 is opened even when the amplitude of the signal from the infrared sensor 15 is small. Yes.
On the contrary, the sensitivity is lowered by increasing the threshold value of the comparator as the outside air temperature decreases and the temperature of the target beast to be repelled decreases, so that the opening / closing valve 18 is not opened when the amplitude of the signal from the infrared sensor 15 is small. Thus, the malfunctioning of the pest repelling device 10 is prevented.

Next, the operation of the harmful animal repelling apparatus 10 of this embodiment will be described.
First, a hose is connected to the joint portion 12 d provided in the water storage tank 12 and communicated with the water pipe through the hose so that the tap water can be injected from the water injection means 11 through the water storage tank 12.

When the switching operation switch 40 is set to the pest repelling mode, the detection signal of the infrared sensor 15 is amplified by the amplifier of the control panel 17 and the signal is input to the comparator. The signal from the infrared sensor 15 input to the comparator is compared with the threshold value corrected by the signal from the temperature sensor 16. When the amplitude of the signal from the infrared sensor 15 exceeds the threshold value, the control panel 17 The on / off valve control signal is transmitted and the on / off valve 18 is opened.
When the on-off valve 18 is opened, the tap water stored in the tank 12 is pumped to the injection port 11d of the water injection means 11 through the supply pipe 13 by the pressure of the tap water supplied through the hose, and the injection port 11d. The water pressure is increased by an orifice communicated with the water and injected at a water pressure of ² to 4 kg / cm ² . When the sprayed water hits a pest such as a cat, the pest instinctively dislikes the water and can repel the pest.

When the operation switch 40 is switched to the watering mode, the control panel 17 can switch the opening / closing valve 18 to the opening operation, and spray water from the injection port 11d to spray the flower bed, lawn, vegetable garden or the like.
In this way, the one-touch operation of the operation switch 40 can be switched between pest repelling and watering.
In addition, if a timer is attached, the required time and automatic watering can be performed. In this embodiment, the timer is set so that, for example, automatic watering can be performed for 10 minutes.

As described above, according to the present apparatus 10, since the water storage tank 12 is provided at the lower end of the apparatus, and the water storage tank 12 is used as a support base of the apparatus, the apparatus is weighted by the liquid stored in the water storage tank 12, and Since the center of gravity is on the lower side, the apparatus can be erected in a stable state, and the apparatus can be prevented from falling.
Furthermore, since the lower end of the feed pipe 13 is erected from the center of the upper wall of the water storage tank 12 and the outer shape of the water storage tank 12 is larger than that of the control box 14 and the water injection means 11, the apparatus is erected in a more stable state. I can leave it to you.
Further, when the apparatus 10 is moved to another location and installed, the weight of the apparatus 10 can be reduced by disconnecting the hose from the joint portion 12d and draining the water in the water storage tank 12. In addition, the water storage tank, the liquid feed pipe, the control box, and the water injection means can be disassembled and miniaturized. Therefore, conveyance to a required position can be performed easily.

FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
