Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electric insect repellent device for preventing the invasion of pests such as cockroaches that gather in kitchens, dining rooms, food storage rooms, and the like. .

Configuration of conventional example and its problems This type of conventional electric insect repellent device is shown in Fig. 1.
An insulator 1 made of an insulating resin material, a pair of electric shock electrodes 3.4 arranged substantially parallel to each other on the insulator 1 with a gap 2 in between and made of a conductive resin material, and this pair of electrodes. 3
, 4, and a power supply device 6 such as a dry battery that applies a voltage of about 10 to 30 volts between them. It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. Therefore, if the electric insect repellent device is attached to a wall or the like with adhesive or the like, when an insect 6 such as a cockroach tries to climb up the wall, its legs may straddle it as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. When the surfaces of the pair of electrodes 3 and 4 are touched, a voltage is applied to the insect 6, and when a current flows inside the insect 60, the insect 6 receives a severe electric shock and falls downward as if jumping. In this way, the insects 6 cannot advance beyond this electric insect repellent device, so that the invasion of pests such as cockroaches can be prevented.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional electric shock type insect repellent device, the pair of electric shock electrodes 3 and 4 and the insulator 1 have the same pattern, so that the repellent effect cannot be achieved by causing insects such as cockroaches to experience electric shock several times. Eventually, the insects would stop in front of the electrodes, try to turn back in the opposite direction, and eventually stop trying to get near the electrodes, which was not a very good effect.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electric insect repellent device with excellent repelling effects.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pattern of a pair of electrodes arranged substantially parallel to each other with an interval between them, or one electrode and the other electrode. With this configuration, the patterns on the insulator and the pair of electrodes, or the patterns on one electrode and the other electrode, are different, so visual recognition from the perspective of insects such as cockroaches is difficult. As a result, the repellent effect is excellent.Description of an Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 11 denotes an insulator made of an insulating resin material, and on this insulator 11 a pair of electrodes 13 and 14 for electric shock are arranged substantially parallel to each other with a minute interval 12 in between.

The pair of electrodes 13 and 14 are made of a conductive resin material. Reference numeral 15 denotes a power supply device such as a dry battery that applies a voltage of about 10 volts between a pair of electrodes 13 and 14. In the pair of electrodes 13 and 14, one electrode 13 and the other electrode 14 have different patterns, for example, one electrode 13 has a comb-like shape, and the other electrode 14
is constructed in the form of a flat plate. This is not limited to the embodiment, and the point is that the patterns of the pair of electrodes 13 and 14 may be different from each other. By making the patterns of one electrode 13 and the other electrode 14 different in this way, the visual recognition when viewed from the insects 16 such as cockroaches becomes extremely large, and as a result, the repellent effect, that is, the insects 16 such as cockroaches, After experiencing several electric shocks, the insect eventually stops in front of the electrode and tries to turn back in the opposite direction, in the direction of the arrow in Figure 3.
Finally, an excellent effect can be obtained in that the patient no longer tries to get close to the electrode.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a pair of electric shock electrodes 13' and 14' are arranged substantially parallel to each other with a minute interval 12' interposed between them and made of an insulator 11'. A voltage of about 10 volts is applied between the pair of electrodes 13' and 14' from a power source 15' such as a dry battery. And in this example,
An insulator 11' and a pair of electrodes 13'.

14' are different from each other, and this embodiment also has an excellent repelling effect as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the patterns of a pair of electrodes disposed substantially parallel to each other with a gap between the insulator and the pattern-1 or the patterns of one electrode and the other electrode are respectively different. Visual recognition by insects such as cockroaches is extremely large, and as a result, it is possible to obtain an electric insect repellent device with excellent repellent effects.
