In the box 12, a control board for controlling the operation of the insect trap 10 and the like is housed on the lower side. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes an opening formed in the upper part on the front side of the box 12, 14 denotes an operation part of the insect trap 10, and 15 denotes a display part for displaying the number of insects.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the suction slit 20 is a slit-like opening formed on the front side of the insect trap body 11, and introduces sucked pests into the insect trap body 11. The suction slit 20 has a suction port portion 25 formed inside the front surface of the insect trap body 11. The suction port 25 is formed by opening in a line shape in the vertical direction (height direction) as illustrated. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a large (long) opening portion corresponding to the shape of the tower-type box 12 extended in the height direction. In the embodiment, the slit width of the suction port portion 25 is about 5 to 10 mm, and is formed in two places in series.

  The light source unit 30 is a member for attracting pests by light emission. Small flying insects and the like have a habit of moving in the direction of an object that emits strong light at night or the like (light travelability). For example, it is known that various insects gather around a streetlight or the like. This behavior (phototacticity) is also equipped with flying insects such as mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, in the light source unit 30, as shown in FIG. 2, a light emitting body 35 that attracts the pest is disposed in front of the suction slit 20. The light emitting body 35 is arranged upright so as to be substantially parallel to the suction port portion 25 that is linearly opened up and down. Note that the light-emitting body 35 is preferably a known light-emitting means such as a fluorescent lamp or a mercury lamp that easily collects pests.

  The insect catching part 40 is a part that catches (captures) the sucked pest inside the suction slit 20. As shown in FIG. 2, the insect trapping portion 40 includes a suction passage 41 communicating with the suction port portion 25 of the suction slit 20, and an insect trap bag 42 that accommodates insects caught by being connected through the suction passage 41. And have. The insect trapping bag 42 is made of a material that does not allow a pest to pass through while having air permeability, and that does not easily escape while holding the contained pest inside. For example, a bag body in which the inner surface of the insect trapping bag 42 is meshed or fluffed is used. This insect trapping part 40 is provided below the suction slit 20, that is, in the central part in the box 12.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the suction unit 50 is a member that sucks pests into the box 12 through the suction slit 20. As the suction unit 50, a known suction unit such as an exhaust fan or an intake (suction) pump is preferably used. The suction unit 50 generates an air flow in the direction of the suction slit 20 in the opening 13 of the box 12 through the insect capturing unit 40 and the suction slit 20. The airflow generated by the suction unit 50 is about a wind speed of 0.5 to 0.7 (m / s) that can be sucked without being escaped by flying pests. An exhaust unit 16 is provided on the side of the box 12 near the suction unit 50 via a known filter, and exhaust from the exhaust unit 16 to the outside of the box 12 is performed when the suction unit 50 is operated (suction). Is called.

  The measuring unit 60 is a member that measures the number of sucked pests (the number of insects). In the measurement unit 60, a detection means such as a known photoelectric sensor is used, and a fiber sensor is particularly preferable. Since the fiber sensor is small and lightweight, it can be easily installed on the insect trap 10 and the maintenance work is reduced, so that the cost can be reduced. As shown in FIG. 2, the measurement unit 60 is disposed in the vicinity of the inside of the suction port portion 25 of the suction slit 20. That is, the installation position of the measurement unit 60 is a position close to the light source unit 30. For this reason, detection is performed under a sufficient amount of light, so that measurement leaks and malfunctions are less likely to occur, and the number of insects caught can be measured more reliably.

  The measurement result (count number) by the measurement unit 60 is displayed on the display unit 15 disposed on the front surface of the box 12. In addition, the measurement result can be notified (transmitted) to the user by an appropriate communication means as required. The user can easily grasp the number of insects caught by the notification by the display unit 15 or the communication means. Furthermore, in the measurement part 60, it is also possible to link the measurement of the number of insects and the operation of the light source part 30 and the suction part 50 via a control device (not shown). For example, when the number of insects has reached a predetermined number, the operation of the light source unit 30 and the suction unit 50 is stopped, or the next detection is not performed for a predetermined time after the detection by the measurement unit 60. Operation control such as stopping the operation of the light source unit 30 and the suction unit 50 can be performed. In addition, it is possible to perform measurement according to time in conjunction with a timer or the like (not shown).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the wheel portion 70 is a member that is formed in the lower portion of the box 12 and allows the insect trap body 11 to move. As the wheel unit 70, a known caster member or the like is preferably used. A plurality (four in the illustrated example) of wheel portions 70 of the embodiment are attached to the lower portion of the box 12 via plate-like base portions 71. The attachment positions of the plurality of wheel portions 70 are the four corners of the base portion 71 as shown in FIG. Further, the base portion 71 is formed to have the same size as the bottom portion of the box body 12 or larger than the bottom portion. In the illustrated example, the base portion 71 is formed larger than the bottom portion, and the outer edge portion protrudes to the outside of the bottom portion of the box body 12. Therefore, the plurality of wheel portions 70 are arranged outside the box body 12. Thereby, stability of tower type box 12 is improved. The wheel unit 70 is provided with a stopper as necessary. This stopper can prevent inadvertent movement.

  In the suction type insect trap 10, as shown in FIG. 3, an insect guide portion 80 that is inclined and gradually narrows from the opening portion 13 formed on the front surface of the box 12 to the suction port portion 25 of the suction slit 20 is formed. . The insect guide portion 80 is an inclined surface for efficiently guiding the sucked pests to the suction slit 20, and is inclined from both side surfaces in the opening 13 of the box 12 toward the suction port portion 25. . This insect-conducting part 80 consists of the reflecting plate 85 which has the mirror surface which reflects light. As the reflecting plate 85, an appropriate reflecting member such as a well-known mirror or a mirror-finished reflecting material is preferably used.

  The light source unit 30 is disposed inside the insect guide unit 80. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting body 35 of the light source unit 30 is diffused by reflection on the reflection plate 85 of the insect conducting unit 80. In particular, since the insect guide portion 80 is an inclined surface that is expanded toward the front side of the box body 12, the light from the light emitter 35 is collected forward and amplified. Therefore, the amount of light emitted by one light emitter 35 is increased by about 1.5 times. Therefore, it is possible to attract a pest very effectively by itself without using a plurality of light emitters 35. Moreover, since it is possible to emit strong light, it can be installed in a dimly lit place due to the influence of other light sources such as street lamps and lights in stores.

  Moreover, in the insect guide part 80, since it is formed so that it may become narrow gradually toward the suction port part 25 direction of the suction slit 20, the suction force by the suction part 50 is amplified, and the insect pest which exists in the vicinity of the insect guide part 80 is amplified. It becomes easy to suck. Therefore, even if it is the single suction part 50, the suction | attraction force required for an insect trap is obtained easily. In the embodiment, a single exhaust fan (suction unit) as the suction unit 50 is disposed at a position directly below the insect capturing unit 40 in the box 12.

  Here, the usage example of the suction type insect trap 10 will be described. In this suction type insect trap 10, by making the insect trap body 11 a tower-type box 12 extended in the height direction, it becomes possible to reduce the width and depth compared to the conventional shape, Installation and storage in a smaller space than before is possible. When the insect trap 10 is transferred from the storage location to the installation location or the installation location is changed, the wheel portion 70 is provided at the lower portion of the box 12 so that it can be easily moved by one user. Can be made.

  In the insect trap 10 installed at a desired place, the light emitter 35 of the light source unit 30 emits light by the operation of the operation unit 14, and the suction unit 50 is activated to start suction. The illuminant 35 is arranged upright so as to be parallel to the suction port 25 that is linearly opened up and down corresponding to the shape of the tower-type box 12. Light is emitted along the opening direction. Then, the light emitted from the light emitter 35 is amplified and reflected forward of the box 12 by the inclined reflector 85 of the insect conducting portion 80, and the front side of the insect trap body 11 is strongly illuminated.

  Here, the flying pests such as mosquitoes and flies are attracted by the light from the light source unit 30 due to the phototaxis, and start to gather around the insect trap 10 one after another. The pest attracted to the light source unit 30 approaches the light emitting body 35 installed in the insect guiding unit 80 of the insect trap body 11 as it is. At this time, since the air flow toward the suction slit 20 is generated by the operation of the suction unit 50 in the insect guide unit 80, the pests present in the insect guide unit 80 cannot resist the air flow and the suction slit 20. Sucked in.

  The pests that have passed through the suction slit 20 are detected by the measurement unit 60, and a detection signal is transmitted to the display unit 15 to display the number of insects added. The measurement by the measurement unit 60 can be used for grasping the state of occurrence of pests at the installation location by calculating the total number of insects captured within a predetermined time, the number of insects captured per unit time, and the like. By accurately grasping the pest occurrence status, it becomes easier to select an appropriate response in pest control or prevention.

  Then, the sucked pest is accommodated in the insect trap bag 42 through the suction passage 41. The insect pests in the insect trapping bag 42 are entangled with the inner surface of the bag because the inner surface of the insect trapping bag 42 is meshed or fluffed, making it difficult to escape. Thereafter, the insect trap 10 is continuously operated until the number of insects counted by the measuring unit 60 reaches a predetermined number. The used insect catching bag 42 is appropriately discarded and replaced with a new insect catching bag.

  As shown and described above, in the suction type insect trap of the present invention, the trap catcher body is a tower-type box, so that space can be saved easily. Then, the suction port portion of the suction slit is formed in an upper and lower linear shape corresponding to the shape of the box body, and the light emitting body of the light emitting portion is arranged corresponding to the suction port portion, so according to the box shape Insect pests can be attracted and sucked efficiently. Moreover, by providing the wheel part at the lower part of the box, the insect trap can be easily moved with a small number of hands (for example, one person), and the working efficiency is improved.

  Further, in the suction type insect trap, the measurement unit 60 is disposed in the vicinity of the inside of the suction port portion 25 of the suction slit 20, thereby being brought close to the light source unit 30 disposed in front of the suction slit 20. Therefore, it is possible to detect a pest sucked under a sufficient amount of light with an extremely simple configuration, and it is difficult to cause a measurement leak or malfunction, thereby making it possible to more reliably measure the number of captured insects.

  In addition, by forming the worm part to be gradually narrowed from the opening of the box to the suction port of the suction slit, the suction force of the suction part sucked through the suction slit is amplified. An excellent suction force can be easily obtained with a single suction means without using a plurality of suction means in the suction portion. And the light quantity of the light source arrange | positioned in this insecticidal part is amplified by comprising this insecticidal part with a reflecting plate. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a plurality of light emitters for the light source section, and it is possible to attract pests efficiently even with a single light emitter. Therefore, pests can be captured very efficiently by the interaction between the amplified light source unit and the suction unit.

  In this way, in the suction type insect trap, excellent trapping performance can be easily obtained with a single light source unit and a single suction unit, so that power consumption can be suppressed and running cost is reduced. Is done. In addition, since the number of parts is reduced, manufacturing costs and maintenance work are reduced. Therefore, significant cost reduction can be achieved without impairing excellent insect trapping performance.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the suction trapping device can be adjusted in height using known lifting means such as a jack. For example, you may raise / lower the whole insect trap main body by providing a raising / lowering means in a base part. Moreover, while raising / lowering means is provided in an insect trap main body, an insect trap main body can be divided | segmented up and down, and you may comprise so that the upper side of an insect trap main body which has a suction slit may be raised / lowered.

  As described above, in the suction type insect trap of the present invention, space saving is achieved by the tower-type box, and movement is easy by providing the wheel portion. Therefore, it is promising as an alternative to the conventional suction type insect trap.
