Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an insect repellent device installed in a structure having an opening, such as kitchen furniture, food storage, and other food storage rooms.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, structures with openings, such as kitchen furniture, are easy for pests such as cockroaches to enter, so insect traps are used,
Alternatively, an insect repellent seal is provided at the contact area between the opening and the door. Since the insect trap is placed in the path of pests, although it is somewhat effective, it cannot prevent all pests from entering through the opening. In addition, those that use packing may leave small gaps due to deterioration over time, and on the other hand, cockroaches and the like can invade even if there is only one gap, so it cannot be said to be a complete pest control method.

By the way, the electric insect repellent device shown in FIG. 5 is known. This electric insect repellent device includes an insulating base material 1, a pair of band-shaped electrode bodies 3 and 4 arranged in parallel on the upper surface with a gap 2, and a voltage of about 10 to 3 volts applied to the electrode bodies 3.4. It is powered by dry batteries.

It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. Now, when the insect 6 tries to move on the floor and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the electrode bodies 3 and 4, a voltage is applied to the insect 6, and the insect 6 receives a severe electric shock. It bounces and falls downwards. Therefore, the insects 5 cannot advance beyond the insect control device. Therefore, such a device can prevent the invasion of pests.

The present inventors have considered combining the electric insect repellent device with a structure having an opening, such as furniture.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned electric insect repellent device is attached to the opening edge of the lower opening of the structure 6.

As shown in FIG. 7, in this configuration, a pair of electrode bodies 3 and 4 are exposed on the inner surface 8 of the open lower part of the structure 6, and the desired insect repellent is provided by electric shock. The electrode bodies 3 and 4 may be short-circuited due to contact with a pot 9 etc. made of plastic, or the electrode bodies 3 and 4 may be short-circuited due to water droplets that adhere during water work, resulting in a voltage drop in the electric insect repellent device and wasteful consumption of the power battery. There was a problem that the insect repellent function deteriorated.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes into account the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide an insect repellent device that prevents short circuits between a pair of electrode bodies and that can always effectively perform an insect repellent function.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a structure having an opening such as a storage cabinet, and a pair of electrode bodies for electric shock, one of the electrode bodies being provided inside the mouth edge of the opening, The insect repellent device has a structure in which the other electrode body has a small gap with the one electrode body and is provided in a part other than the inside part, and prevents the electrode body from being shorted by a metal object such as a pot. However, it can always effectively exert its insect repellent function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1o is a wooden storage furniture main body, and has an opening 11. One strip-shaped electrode body 12 is disposed inside the mouth edge of the opening 11, and the electrode body 1
The other electrode body 13 making a pair with 2 is disposed below the front surface of the rim of the opening 11. Naturally, an insulating gap 14 sufficient for insects to straddle is provided between the electrode bodies 12 and 13, and a voltage of about 10 volts is applied to the electrode bodies 12 and 13 by a power supply device 15 such as a dry battery. . In addition, 16 in the figure shows a packing, j7/dm, and 18 shows a door.

In the above configuration, insects such as cockroaches
When the insect attempts to crawl inside and touches the pair of electrode bodies 12 and 13, it receives an electric shock and flies outward. Therefore, insects will not invade into the storage furniture main body 10.

When the metal pot 17, etc. to be handled next touches the inside of the opening 11 of the storage furniture water tank 1o, the other electrode body 13 is on the surface away from the inside of the opening 11, and the pot 17, etc. is on one side. Although one electrode body 12 is touched, the other electrode body 13 is not touched at the same time, and it is possible to prevent the pair of electrode bodies 12 and 13 from shorting and lowering the voltage, and from wasting the dry cell battery of the power supply device.

3 and 4 respectively show other embodiments of the present invention,
The one shown in Fig. 3 has a stepped portion 1 at the opening edge of the storage furniture main body 1o.
9, and the other electrode body 13' is provided on the vertical surface thereof, and the one shown in FIG. 4 has a door 18 corresponding to the front side of the opening edge.
Since the other electrode body 13'' is provided on the inner surface of the electrode body 12 and the pair of electrode bodies 12 and 13 are not on the same plane, the same effects as in the previous embodiment can be obtained.

In addition, in the said Example, although the storage furniture was demonstrated as a structure with an opening, it may be a food storage room etc., and this invention is not limited to storage furniture.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, the present invention has advantages in that, of the pair of electric shock electrode bodies provided in the opening of the structure, the other electrode body is arranged at a position other than the inside of the opening. , it prevents short-circuiting between the pair of electrode bodies and always reliably exhibits its insect repellent function, which is of great value.
