DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The cockroach trap is divided into two stages, upper and lower, as shown in FIG. 1. If the joining portion is securely joined by the uneven portion, a heating chamber is formed at the center. The heat chamber is a conical space in which cockroaches can maintain their physical strength and rest, and the temperature is set at 20 to 30 degrees.

The trapping section (FIGS. 3 and 4) is provided with a suction port for capturing cockroaches at an upper portion centering on the heating chamber. The suction port is a cockroach suction port using the suction force of the cleaner, and a suction pipe of the cleaner. Join the catch basket (detailed below) between the cockroach catcher and the cockroach catcher.

The suction port (FIGS. 4, 8, 9, and 10) has a circular window at the center of the catching section. When the catch basket is set on the suction pipe of the cleaner (FIG. 15) and the cleaner is driven, the suction air flow is increased. Fill the circle with a triangular plate (Figs. 9 and 10) so that it can be absorbed. In addition, a triangular plate that also serves as a window lid and overlaps so that the heat of the heat chamber is not diffused.

The dampers (FIGS. 4, 11, 12, and 13)
In order to prevent cockroaches from escaping, install so that the entrance at the upper end of the slope of the heating section becomes the escape prevention grid at the tip of the damper. The use of the escape prevention damper will be described in detail in the section on heating.

The heating section (FIGS. 5, 6, and 7) is mainly composed of a heating element for keeping the heat in the heating chamber, and the heating element is set at 20 to 30 degrees so that the cockroach can maintain and keep the physical strength in the heating chamber. Heat is generated by wires. In addition, installing a sensor for keeping warm reduces power consumption and power costs.

In the case of the present invention, the cockroach entrance (FIG. 6) is an entrance from two directions for the purpose of being installed at a corner of a room when used at home or the like. In addition, in places where cockroaches are likely to occur, such as in restaurants and other offices dealing with living things, cockroaches behave actively at night when they become warm. If these cockroaches are used as entrances from four directions with a catcher installed in the center of the soil, they can be captured more effectively.

A wide-mouthed slope is installed to make it easy for cockroaches to enter and leave the heat chamber. The slope is made into a sandpaper-like “rough surface” to make it easier for cockroaches to enter, and the floor of the heat room is in a “smooth surface” state. will do. The rough surface of the sloping slope has the effect of making it easy to climb with the hook of a cockroach,
When the cockroach is sucked from the suction port, the cockroach's feet are hook-shaped and the hooks are hooked on the rough part, so that suction is not performed properly. The hook has no catching surface, so that the cockroaches fly up due to the suction airflow, and the suction is performed well.

There is a damper at the entrance, and the damper is operated by a damper opening / closing button installed in the catching unit. Normally, the damper is in a horizontal state, the entrance is in an open state, and the button is "pushed", so that the entrance is vertical. State and the entrance is closed. Press the button again
With this operation, the entrance has the function of opening. Normally, cockroaches enter the heating chamber easily because they are in the "open" state. When catching cockroaches, insert a catch basket into the suction pipe of the vacuum cleaner, press the damper open / close button of the catching unit, and "close" the entrance. Insert the catch basket into the suction port of the catch section and turn on the vacuum cleaner drive switch. The damper has a "comb shape" as shown in Fig. 13. This is a comb shape to make it easy for the suction air flow to pass when suctioning with a vacuum cleaner, and the suction air flow flies from the bottom in the warm room after passing through the comb lattice. So that the tip of the comb is thin. If there is no damper, the cockroach escapes due to the vibration when the catch basket is inserted into the suction port and does not reach the purpose of capture.

The thermal insulation plate is used to prevent heat from being transmitted downward (toward the floor) from the heating element. When the floor is installed on a tatami floor at home or the like, when there is no interruption plate, the heating insulation plate is used. Heat is transmitted directly to the tatami mats, and the heat is accumulated in the tatami mats to become accumulated heat, which may cause a fire. Also,
House mites gather during the tatami mats to keep the heat from accumulated heat, which is a problem in hygiene. In order to remove those obstacles, a thermal insulation board will be installed inside.

The catching basket (FIG. 15) is connected between the suction pipe of the vacuum cleaner and the cockroach catcher, and is used for sucking and capturing cockroaches from the heating chamber. The catch basket (Fig. 14) is divided into an outer frame and an inner basket, but it is used as an integral unit. The outer frame is separated into two parts, the upper part and the lower part from the center part. The outer frame is also integrated by screwing. A net made of wire mesh to prevent cockroaches will be installed inside the outer frame. Also, when the lower part of the outer frame is molded with transparent plastic, etc., when sucking and capturing cockroaches,
You can see it.

A metal net for stopping cockroaches (FIG. 14)
Is designed to prevent cockroaches from being sucked into the vacuum cleaner body, and prevents cockroaches from being sucked.However, fine objects such as cockroach droppings that are dried in a heat chamber are of a metal that can be sucked into the vacuum cleaner body. We are making stitches.

The inner basket (FIGS. 16, 17 and 18) has a threaded portion integrated with the inner diameter of the outer frame at the upper end, the basket tube portion is made of a metal mesh, and the bottom plate is a semicircular plate. When two pairs are used as the bottom plate and the vacuum cleaner sucks, the semi-circular plate is sucked from the center like butterfly wings, and the lifted butterfly wing plate creates space and sucks cockroaches. The cockroach is prevented from being sucked by the above-mentioned metal net, and the cockroach remains in the inner basket. When the suction airflow is stopped by turning off the drive switch of the vacuum cleaner, the butterfly wing plate lowers and becomes a bottom plate, so that cockroaches cannot escape. It is always the bottom plate. In addition, a “handle” (Figs. 17 and 18) will be installed to make it easier to screw the outer frame and inner basket.

The reason why the cage net portion is made of a metal net is that when the cockroach is sucked and captured, the lower part of the outer frame is removed from the center of the outer frame, and the exposed inner metal cage is sprayed with a spray-type insecticide to kill the cockroaches. After a few minutes of spraying, remove the upper thread of the inner basket from the outer frame and discard the cockroach in the trash. After throwing away, keep the inner basket clean and dry with detergent.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention produces the following effects as described above. (A) When used at home, cockroaches seek warmth at night and enter the cockroach trap to rest. Thus, at the time of cleaning every morning, cockroaches can be easily captured by replacing the tip of the vacuum cleaner with a catch basket, and can be used for a long time. (A) In a kitchen such as a restaurant, cockroaches are particularly large and it is considered that the present invention has many effects. (C) In places where there are many cockroaches, increasing the number of times of capture reduces cockroaches.
