Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to furniture with an insect repellent function that targets cockroaches and the like.

Configuration of conventional examples and their problems Generally, this type of furniture or storage room has an opening/closing body such as a door that closes the opening.
There is a problem that insects such as cockroaches may enter when the opening/closing body is opened or when there is a slight gap between the main body having an opening and the opening/closing body. Usually, an insect trap is used or a gasket is provided between the opening and the opening/closing body to prevent insects. Although the insect trap is somewhat effective because it is placed in the path of insects such as cockroaches, it cannot prevent all insects from entering the main body having an opening. In addition, those that use packing may have slight gaps due to deterioration over time, whereas insects such as cockroaches may have gaps of only 1 mm.
It cannot be said to be a perfect means of preventing insects because they can invade even if there are gaps.

By the way, insects, especially cockroaches, secrete a sticky substance on the backs of their limbs, so when a relatively low voltage is applied between their two limbs, they are sensitive to electric shocks, and they have a tendency to jump due to the electric shocks. I have it too.

For this reason, an electric insect repellent as shown in Fig. 7 has been devised. This electric insect repellent has at least a pair of electrode bodies 1, 1 arranged with a small gap 2 between them, and a low DC voltage of 10 to 40 V is applied between the electrode bodies 1, 1. Note that 3 in the figure indicates a power source such as a dry battery.

Here, the cockroach 4 crawls as shown in the figure, and when its limbs touch the pair of electrode bodies 1, 1, it feels an electric shock and runs away, or goes into a convulsive state, or temporarily loses consciousness and rolls over. Therefore, it is extremely effective as an insect repellent.

The present inventors have considered installing the electric insect repellent described above, which is effective as an insect repellent, in a structure having a plurality of openings and an opening/closing body. For example, it is as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 8, reference numeral 5 denotes a plurality of storage boxes whose front openings are opened and closed by doors 6, each of which is assembled into an assembly base frame 7, which serves as an assembly base. The built-in base frame 7 has a wiring space 8 in its upper part that is open at the top. Reference numeral 9 indicates a top plate attached to the built-in base frame 7 so as to close the wiring space 8.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an insect repellent device disposed at the front opening end of each storage box 5.

By the way, the lead wire 11 of the insect repellent device 10,
12 runs along the top surface of each storage box 5 and is connected in parallel to a common power supply line 13 in the wiring space 8.

However, according to the above configuration, the common power supply line 13
Lead wires 11 and 12 must be tangent to
There were problems in that assembly was complicated and many lead wires were required.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides furniture with an insect repellent device that allows an electric insect repellent to be easily attached to furniture having a plurality of openings and opening/closing bodies.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the furniture with an insect repellent device of the present invention includes a plurality of openings arranged in parallel, and two strips continuously provided along each side of each of the openings aligned on the same straight line. a conductor, a power supply for applying a voltage to the two conductors, and a plurality of electric shocks arranged so as to form a frame with the two inner and outer electrode bodies and independently surround the rim of each opening. The electric insect repellent has a structure in which the outer electrode body of each of the electric insect repellents is connected to one conductor, and the inner electrode body is connected to the other conductor, making assembly very easy.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, reference numeral 16 indicates a kitchen furniture having a plurality of openings 14 and a door 15 in the horizontal direction, and the upper and lower edges of the plurality of openings 14 are aligned on the same straight line. Two conductors 17, 1 continuously along the
There are 8. Furthermore, two inner and outer electrodes 19,2
A plurality of electric insect repellents 21 formed in the form of a frame are arranged so as to independently surround each opening 14,
A conductor 17 is connected to one electrode 19, and a conductor 18 is connected to the other electrode 20, and the conductor 1
A constant voltage is applied in stages to 7 and 18 by a power supply 22.

According to the above configuration, the plurality of openings 14 of the kitchen furniture 16 have two conductive strips 1 on the upper and lower edges thereof.
7 and 18, a part of the electrodes 19 and 20 of the frame-shaped electric insect repellent are connected to the conductors 17 and 1, respectively.
8, and can be attached with conductive nails etc., and connect the power source 22 to the conductors 17 and 18.
By simply applying a constant voltage, the insect repellent effect can be achieved reliably, and there is no need to connect lead wires or the like in a complicated manner, making assembly extremely simple.

4, 5, and 6 show other embodiments,
In a kitchen furniture 25 having a plurality of openings 23 arranged in the vertical direction and a drawer 24 provided in each of the openings 23, there are two drawers along all the openings 23 on both sides of the kitchen furniture 25.
Strip conductors 26 and 27 are provided, and a frame-shaped electric insect repellent 30 having electrodes 28 and 29 is provided in each opening 23. Further, a part of the electrodes 28 and 29 of the electric insect repellent 30 are made to correspond to and connected to the conductors 26 and 27, respectively, and a power source 31 is connected to the conductors 26 and 27.
The voltage is added to a constant voltage in stages.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the furniture equipped with an insect repellent device of the present invention, an electric insect repellent device can be attached very easily even if the furniture has a plurality of openings. The effect is extremely large.
