  ≪Concepts common to the embodiments≫

  The concept common to this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 1 shows a front view (FIG. 1 (a)) and a side view (FIG. 1 (b)) of an insecticidal machine having the functions described in the first to fourth embodiments. 1 includes a suction hood 0101, an attracting light 0102, a reflector plate 0103, a suction port 0104, a duct 0105, a fan motor 0106, a fan casing 0107, a timer 0108, a wind direction guide plate 0109, a debris collection bag 0110, a sliding type. It consists of height adjusting means 0111, casters 0114 and the like.

  In FIG. 1, the suction hood 0101 is provided with an attracting light 0102, and the light from the attracting light is reflected by the reflecting plate 0103 for increasing the attracting effect and attracts insects from a wide range. One end of a duct 0105 is connected to the suction hood 0101, and the other end of the duct 0105 is connected to a fan casing 0107. Rotating blades (not shown) are accommodated in the fan casing 0107, and the rotating blades can be rotated at high speed by a fan motor 0106.

  When the rotating blade is rotated at a high speed by the fan motor 0106, air can be sucked from the suction port 0104 of the suction hood 0101 through the duct 0105. Since the attracting light 0102 is installed in the suction port 0104, insects attracted to the vicinity of the suction port can be sucked together with air. The sucked insect is instantaneously killed by impact with the rotating blades rotating at high speed and / or the inner surface of the fan casing 0107.

  The wreckage of the insect that has been subjected to the impact killing is forcibly exhausted from the fan casing 0107 to the wreckage collection bag 0110. The debris collection bag 0110 is made of a breathable material, and can exhaust only air and collect insect debris inside. The present invention is characterized in that the exhaust direction from the fan casing 0107 to the debris collection bag 0110 is guided by the wind direction guide plate 0109, and the insect debris can be efficiently dried.

  Embodiment 1

  (Configuration of Embodiment 1) FIG. 2 shows an insecticidal machine in this embodiment. The insecticidal machine in this embodiment has a “remnant collection bag” 0201 and an “insecticidal discharge fan” 0202.

  (Explanation of Configuration of Embodiment 1) “Debris collection bag” 0201 is configured to collect the remains of insects that have been impact-killed, and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape made of a breathable material. The debris collection bag corresponds to the debris collection bag 0110 in FIG.

  The term “impact insect killing” refers to killing insects by impact with the insect discharge fan 0202. “Insect wreckage” refers to the dead body of an insect after impact killing. Insects are mainly flying insects, and include insects such as flies, mosquitoes, feather ants, worms, planthoppers, bees, moths and butterflies, but are not limited to these insects and may be other insects. .

  “Breathable material” refers to a material that allows air to pass through. The breathable material is a material having countless micropores, such as a fiber, a resin, or a paper. Note that the entire debris collection bag may not be formed of a breathable material, and may have at least a portion of the breathable material and can be evacuated. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, only the upper part 0301 of the debris collection bag is made of a breathable material, the lower part 0302 is made of a non-breathable material, the upper part is mainly evacuated, and the lower part is mainly made of insect debris. It is good also as collecting. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the exhaust function may be ensured by using only a cylindrical part 0303 as a breathable material.

  The “substantially cylindrical shape” is not limited to a strict cylindrical shape. For example, a substantially conical debris collection bag 0401 shown in FIG. 4A and a debris collection whose cross section shown in FIG. A bag 0402 and the like are also included.

  The “insecticidal discharge fan” 0202 is configured to discharge insect debris killed by impact insect killing in a substantially circumferential direction on the inner surface of the debris collection bag 0201 in a strong wind. The insecticidal discharge fan 0202 has a rotary blade 0203 which is housed in a fan casing 0204. The rotating blades are rotated by a motor or the like (not shown). Insects sucked by the insecticidal discharge fan can be killed by impact when they collide with the rotating blades or fan casing. In FIG. 1, the insecticidal discharge fan corresponds to a fan motor 0106, a fan casing 0107, and rotating blades housed inside the fan casing.

  The “substantially inner circumferential direction of the debris collection bag” refers to a substantially circumferential direction of the inner surface of the debris collection bag having a substantially cylindrical shape. That is, the direction is to draw a circle along the inner surface of the debris collection bag. “High wind discharge” means that the remains of insects are forcibly discharged by a strong wind.

  In the insecticidal discharge fan 0202, the insect debris killed in the inner circumferential direction of the debris collection bag is exhausted in a strong wind, so that the debris of the strong wind is drawn in a circle along the inner surface of the debris collection bag. Strong wind is discharged. The discharge direction can be adjusted by providing a wind direction guide plate 0205 as shown in FIG. Moreover, you may adjust a discharge direction by providing an exhaust port in the direction along the inner surface of a debris collection bag, without using a wind direction guide plate. The insect debris discharged from the strong wind gradually falls downward due to gravity, and as a result, the insect debris is discharged from the insecticidal discharge fan into the debris collection bag in a direction that swirls inside the debris collection bag. (Hereafter, this is called “swivel exhaust”). In addition, the insect remnants after being collected in the remnant collection bag are constantly wound up by swirling exhaust from the upper part and exposed to the wind, and thus can be efficiently dried.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the exhaust port 0206 provided in the fan casing 0204 of the insecticidal discharge fan is provided on the opposite side of the suction port 0207 across the rotary blade, so that the insect is reliably impacted by the rotary blade 0203. Can be killed. The suction port 0207 may be provided at any position as long as air can be supplied to the fan casing. However, by providing the suction port 0207 near the rotating shaft of the rotating blade, more air is blown to the rotating blade. Can be done efficiently.

  The insecticidal discharge fan may be installed horizontally with respect to the debris collection bag, or the insecticidal discharge fan may be installed vertically with respect to the debris collection bag as shown in FIG. This will be described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram of the insecticidal discharge fan shown in FIG. An insecticidal discharge fan 0501 shown in FIG. 5 has an inner wall surface of a fan casing 0504 substantially the same as the circumference of the rotary blade 0503, and an exhaust port 0505 is provided at a substantially circumferential position of the rotary blade 0503. The “substantially circumferential position of the rotary blade” refers to any position on the circumference of a circle drawn by the rotation of the rotary blade. The “exhaust port” is an port for exhausting air from the insecticidal discharge fan 0501 to the debris collection bag 0502. The insects exhausted from the exhaust port are swirled and exhausted to the debris collection bag 0502 by the wind direction guide plate 0506. In the insect discharge fan of FIG. 5, since the exhaust port is provided at the substantially circumferential position of the rotary blade, the insect sucked by the insect discharge fan can be surely killed. The insecticidal discharge fan is configured to pass through the region where the rotary blades rotate at least once before the insect sucked from the suction port of the insecticidal discharge fan is exhausted from the exhaust port.

  If a resin coating process is performed on the inner surface of the fan casing, insect dead bodies and the like are less likely to adhere, and subsequent cleaning or the like can be easily performed.

  (Specific Example of Embodiment 1) The insecticide of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the insecticidal machine of this embodiment, an insect is guided to the insecticidal discharge fan together with air by some means. For example, the duct 0105 shown in FIG. 1 may be installed in the insecticidal discharge fan, or as shown in FIG. 2, a suction port 0207 may be provided directly on the insecticidal exhaust fan.

  Insects guided to the insecticidal discharge fan are impact-killed by colliding with the rotating blades and the fan casing and are crushed into pieces. The insect debris is swirled and exhausted to the debris collection bag together with air by the wind direction guide plates 0109, 0205, and 0506. In the debris collection bag, air is swirled and exhausted, and insect debris is collected. Therefore, even when a large number of insects are captured, the insect debris can be efficiently dried and collected.

  (Effect of Embodiment 1) In the insecticidal machine of this embodiment, the sucked insect can be surely killed, and the remnant of the insect after the insect killing can be efficiently dried by swirling. For this reason, it is hygienic because it can prevent the decay of the insect remnants, and the remnants of the insects can be disposed of as general waste.

  << Embodiment 2 >>

  (Configuration of Embodiment 2) The insecticide of this embodiment is based on the insecticide described in Embodiment 1, and further has a duct 0105 and a suction hood 0101 as shown in FIG.

  (Description of Configuration of Embodiment 2) The “duct” 0105 has a suction port and is attached to the insecticidal discharge fan so as to guide insects sucked from the suction port from the direction of the rotation axis. That is, one end of the duct is a suction port, and the other end is connected to the insecticidal discharge fan. In order to introduce insects to the insecticidal discharge fan from the direction of the rotation axis of the rotary blade, an exhaust port of the duct is connected in the vicinity of the rotation axis. FIG. 6 shows a state where the exhaust port 0602 of the duct 0601 is connected in the vicinity of the rotary shaft 0604 of the insecticidal discharge fan 0603.

  When the duct 0601 is connected to the vicinity of the rotation axis of the rotary blade 0605, the insects guided from the duct to the insecticidal discharge fan are sucked into the rotary blade along the air flow (arrow 1). As shown in FIG. 2 or 6, the exhaust port of the insecticidal exhaust fan is provided on the opposite side through the rotary blade or on the circumferential position of the rotary blade, so that insects sucked into the rotary blade can be removed. It must pass through the rotating area of the rotating blades before it is discharged from. In particular, in the insecticidal discharge fan of FIG. 6, an insecticidal exhaust fan is provided at the circumferential position of the rotary blade, and the exhaust direction is orthogonal to the suction direction from the duct (arrow 2). For this reason, it is extremely difficult for the insects guided to the insecticidal exhaust fan to pass through the rotary blades and reach the debris collection bag, and the impact insecticidal insect can be reliably killed by the insecticidal exhaust fan. The impact-killed insect is discharged with a strong wind in the direction of the inner circumference of the debris collection bag (arrow 3).

  The “suction hood” 0101 is provided at the suction port of the suction duct 0105 and includes an attracting means for attracting insects. The suction hood may have a reflecting plate 0103 that is wide toward the outside, and when a reflecting plate is provided, insects from a wide range can be sucked.

  The “attracting means” is means that can attract insects to the vicinity of the suction hood. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, an attracting light 0102 that emits nanometer light that insects prefer is used. FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of a suction hood provided with an attracting light. As shown in FIG. 7, the attracting lamp 0702 is installed in the vicinity of the substantially center of the suction port 0704 of the suction hood 0701, and the reflectors 0703 are provided on the top and bottom so as to surround it. The induction lamp 0702 may be a fluorescent lamp or a light emitting diode. Moreover, you may change the color of an attracting light according to the insect used as an attraction object. In addition to attracting lights, pheromone agents preferred by insects, scents, sounds, vibrations, weak radio waves, etc. may be used as attracting means, and these colors (wavelengths other than visible light) may be used depending on the target insect. The temperature may be changed. Moreover, you may use these some attracting means together. For example, a combined use of an attracting light and a pheromone agent, and a combined use of an attracting light and a scent.

  (Specific Example of Embodiment 2) The insecticide of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, when an attracting light 0102 is used as an attracting means, the reflecting plate 0103 provided in the suction hood 0101 is preferably made of a material having a gloss such as metal. Thus, it is possible not only to attract insects from a wide range, but also to attract a wide range of insects by reflecting the light of the attracting light. Also, by applying a resin coating to the reflecting surface of the reflector, the insects can slip easily and can be captured more efficiently.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the suction hood may be provided above the insecticidal discharge fan, or as shown in FIG. 8A, the suction hood 0802 may be provided on the side of the insecticidal discharge fan 0801. When it is provided above the insecticidal discharge fan, it is possible to capture insects that fly to a high position, and when it is provided on the side, it is also possible to capture insects with low flying power. Thus, it is effective to change the installation position of the suction hood according to the nature of the insects to be captured and the situation of the installation place. Moreover, it is not restricted to these aspects, For example, a suction hood may be arranged diagonally, and as shown in FIG.8 (b), you may arrange | position so that the suction port of the suction hood 0803 may face upwards. As shown in FIG. 8C, the suction port of the suction hood 0804 may be arranged so as to face downward, or as shown in FIG. You may arrange so that it may face.

  The insects sucked from the suction hood 0101 can be introduced into the fan casing 0107 of the insecticidal discharge fan from the rotation axis direction of the rotary blades through the duct 0105. When the exhaust port of the insecticidal discharge fan is provided at a substantially circumferential position of the rotary blade, the exhaust direction is orthogonal to the suction direction, and the insect guided from the duct to the insecticidal exhaust fan The insects are surely killed by the impact caused by the high-speed rotation and the collision with the fan casing 0107. The insects killed by the impact are discharged with a strong wind and forcibly discharged into the debris collection bag 0110.

  As described above, since insects can be reliably killed by introducing the insects from the direction of the rotation axis of the insecticidal discharge fan, it is also effective to operate the rotating blades intermittently with the timer 0108. Some types of insects have the property of being countered by air currents and are not attracted. For this reason, insects having such properties can be attracted by intermittently operating the rotary blades. In the insecticidal machine according to the present embodiment, since the insects are reliably impact-killed, there is no possibility that the insects escape from the debris collection bag 0110 even when the rotary blades are temporarily stopped. For this reason, intermittent operation of the rotary blades can be effectively performed without newly providing a check valve or the like to prevent the insects from escaping. Further, by performing intermittent operation, an energy saving effect can be expected as compared with the case of continuous operation.

  (Effect of Second Embodiment) In addition to the first embodiment, the insecticidal machine of the second embodiment efficiently attracts and sucks insects by the suction hood and the attracting means, and reliably sucks the sucked insects with the insecticidal discharge fan. Can be killed. Thereby, it is also possible to intermittently operate the rotary blades, and it is possible to capture and treat insects more efficiently according to the characteristics of the insects.

  << Embodiment 3 >>

  (Configuration of Embodiment 3) The insecticide of this embodiment is based on the insecticide described in Embodiment 1 or 2, and when a suction hood is provided above the insecticidal discharge fan as shown in FIG. “Height adjustment means” 0111 is provided.

  (Description of Configuration of Embodiment 3) The “height adjusting means” 0111 is a slide type, and can change the height of the suction port of the duct. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower part of the height adjusting means is fixed to an insecticidal discharge fan, a debris collection bag, and the like, and a suction hood 0101 to which a suction port of a duct 0105 is connected can be installed on the upper part. The The slide mechanism of the height adjusting means is formed, for example, by preparing two metal tubes or rectangular steel materials having different inner diameters and connecting them in a state where the other metal tube or steel material is inserted into one metal tube or steel material. be able to. Further, an upper support 0112 for positioning the suction hood is provided on the upper part of the height adjusting means, and the suction hood is supported by the upper support. Moreover, it is desirable to provide the center part support body 0113 which supports the substantially center part of a duct in the substantially center part of a height adjustment means. At the bottom of the height adjustment means, the balance of the center of gravity can be maintained without falling down even if the height of the suction hood is increased by connecting to the insecticidal discharge fan or / and the debris collection bag. It is desirable to do so. In addition, it is more desirable to make the insecticide movable by providing a caster 0114 or the like at the lowermost part of the height adjusting means.

  When the height adjusting unit 0111 is provided, the duct 0105 has a stretchable structure. For example, the duct may be bellows-shaped, the duct material may be formed of a stretchable material such as rubber, or the duct is made of a flexible material with a sufficient length. May be. Further, the duct itself may be removable, and a duct having a length as required may be installed.

  By making it possible to adjust the height of the suction port of the duct, it is possible to attract and suck insects while avoiding this even if there is an obstacle at the installation location. Moreover, even if there is no obstacle, it is possible to install the suction port at a position corresponding to the ecological characteristics of the insect. Furthermore, by providing a caster, it is possible to install an insecticidal machine at a position corresponding to the situation of the installation facility and the ecological characteristics of insects.

  (Effect of Embodiment 3) In the insecticidal machine of this embodiment, in addition to Embodiment 1 or 2, by adjusting the height of the suction port of the duct, the position corresponding to the situation of the installation facility and the ecological characteristics of the insect You can install an insecticide machine. For this reason, insects can be captured and processed more efficiently.

  << Embodiment 4 >>

  (Configuration of Embodiment 4) The insecticide according to this embodiment is based on the insecticide according to any one of Embodiments 1 to 3, and further has a wind speed adjusting means at the suction port of the duct.

  (Description of Configuration of Embodiment 4) “Wind speed adjusting means” is configured to adjust the suction wind speed. An example of the wind speed adjusting means is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the wind speed adjusting means includes upper and lower slits 0902 provided in the suction hood 0901. For example, the slit is provided with a magnet at the end so that the slit can be fixed to the side wall of the suction hood at a predetermined angle. Further, the slit may be fixed with a screw or the like. When the angle of the slit 0902 is changed, the area of the opening 0903 of the suction hood 0901 is changed. The suction hood is connected to the duct 0904, and the suction wind speed of the duct can be adjusted by a slit 0902 which is a wind speed adjusting means. When the rotary blades of the insecticidal discharge fan connected to the exhaust port of the duct are rotating at a constant speed, if the area of the opening 0903 is increased, the suction wind speed in the vicinity of the suction hood 0901 is reduced. When the area of the portion 0903 is reduced, the speed is increased. For this reason, the suction air speed in the vicinity of the suction hood can be adjusted by the air speed adjusting means without changing the rotational speed of the rotary blades.

  Note that the insecticidal discharge fan connected to the exhaust port of the duct 0904 is preferably operated so that the suction air speed at the suction port of the duct is at least 5 m / sec or more. By setting the wind speed or higher, major pests such as moths, mosquitoes, feather ants, wingworms, moths, and planthoppers can be reliably sucked. Further, it is possible to suck a pest having a high flying ability such as a bee by further increasing the suction wind speed by a wind speed adjusting means or the like.

  (Effect of Embodiment 4) In the insecticidal machine of this embodiment, in addition to Embodiments 1 to 3, the suction wind speed can be adjusted by providing a wind speed adjusting means. For this reason, by adjusting to the wind speed corresponding to the ecological characteristics of insects, insects can be captured and processed more reliably and efficiently.
