Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to kitchen furniture 1, food storage cabinets, and storage furniture having a body opening.

Conventional Structures and Problems In general, kitchen furniture is easily invaded by pests such as cockroaches, so insect traps are used or gaskets are provided at the abutting portions of openings and doors to prevent insects. Although the above insect traps are somewhat effective because they are placed in the path of pests,
It is not possible to stop all pests from entering furniture through openings. In addition, products that use packing may have slight gaps due to deterioration over time, but on the other hand,
Cockroaches and the like will inevitably invade even a 1m gap, so it cannot be said to be a complete pest control measure.

By the way, the electric insect repellent device shown in FIG. 6 is known. This electric insect repellent device consists of an insulating base material 1, a pair of band-shaped electrode bodies 3.4 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 consists of a dry battery 6 that applies the voltage.

It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive a severe electric shock when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between the parts. Now, when the insect is trying to move on the floor and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the electrode body 3.4, the insect 6
voltage is applied to.

Insect 6 receives a severe electric shock and falls downward as if flying. For this reason, insects cannot advance beyond the insect control device. Therefore, such a device can prevent the invasion of pests.

The present inventors have considered combining the insect repellent device with furniture. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electrode structure 8 of the electric insect repellent device described above is attached to the lip of the open lower part of the storage furniture 6, and a low voltage is applied to it by the power supply section 9. .

According to this configuration, when insects such as goggles try to crawl into the open lower part, they touch the electrode structure 8 and receive an electric shock, causing the insects to escape backwards, thereby making it possible to effectively prevent insects.

By the way, since the power supply unit 9 includes a dry cell battery, the voltage decreases due to battery consumption, making it impossible to obtain the desired electric shock voltage, and it is difficult to judge this voltage decrease.

Here, an alarm 10 that notifies a voltage drop together with a power supply section 9
It may be possible to install the container on the inner bottom of the storage section as shown in FIG. 6, but there is a problem with this, as it would get in the way of storing items. on the other hand,
As shown in FIG. 7, the power supply section 9 and the alarm 10 may be provided outside the storage furniture 6, but there are problems in that the appearance is not good and that they get in the way of work at a sink or the like.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes the above-mentioned problems into consideration and provides storage furniture with an insect repellent device that can notify a voltage drop in an electric insect repellent device, prevent the alarm from getting in the way, and facilitate maintenance. The purpose is to

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an electrode structure for electric shock at the opening of the storage part of the main body of a sink, storage furniture, etc.
A front plate located above the opening and covered by the door,
A power supply unit consisting of a battery that applies voltage to the electrode structure and an alarm that reports a voltage drop in the power supply unit are installed, and the electric shock is exposed at the front so that the power supply unit and the alarm can be operated from the front. This is a storage furniture with an insect repellent device, and the power source and alarm do not get in the way of storage, do not damage the appearance, and facilitate maintenance such as battery replacement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, 11 is a sink main body, a top plate 12 has a water tank 13, and a storage part 16 with an opening 14 in the front part,
It has a door 16 that opens and closes the opening 14 of this storage section 16. An electrode assembly 17, which is the main component of the electric insect repellent device described above, is provided around the opening 14, and a power supply section 1B made of a dry cell or the like is located above the opening 14, and
It is attached to a curtain plate 19 that is covered by the door 16. The power source section 18 is provided with a power source alarm 20 . As shown in FIG. 3, this power supply alarm 2o is comprised of a voltage sensor 22 that detects when the voltage of the battery 21 drops below a set value, and a buzzer 23 that sounds when the voltage is detected. Power supply section 18 incorporating the power supply alarm 20
is exposed in front of the window of the curtain plate 19.

According to the above configuration, when the voltage of the power supply unit 1B decreases, the buzzer 23 sounds to notify that it is time to change the battery salt 6.
The electric insect repellent device will not be used with reduced insect repellent function. In particular, the power supply section 18 incorporating the power supply alarm 20
Since it is attached to the curtain plate 19, it does not get in the way of stored items, and since it is usually covered with the door 16, the appearance is not damaged.Furthermore, the door 16 can be opened to replace batteries, etc. Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is an example of storage furniture. This device also has the same basic configuration as described above, and the portion to which the power supply section 18 and the alarm 20 are attached is the front plate 24 above the opening 14, and its functions and effects are the same as described above.

In each of the above embodiments, a buzzer is used as the alarm, but LE
A light emitting display such as D may also be used.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, according to the present invention, if the electric insect repellent device does not work properly due to a voltage drop, it can be notified and normalized immediately. Since the container is installed on the front plate covered by a door, such as the curtain plate above the opening of the furniture, it has the advantage that it does not get in the way of storing items and is convenient for maintenance. .
