Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is intended to prevent small animals such as cockroaches, which engage in walking activities that are harmful to hygiene, into accommodation rooms such as kitchen furniture, wash basins, and other storage cabinets, as well as living rooms and bathrooms. This relates to an electric insect repellent device that prevents insects from entering living spaces.

Conventional Structures and Problems The structure shown in FIG. 1 has already been proposed as a system for repelling or repelling pests such as cockroaches by applying an electric shock to them. In this method, a pair of electrodes 1a and 1b are arranged facing each other on an insulating base material 2 with an insulation interval W, and a voltage from a dry battery 3 is applied between the electrodes 1a and 1b. is positioned across both electrodes 1a and 1b, the current from both electrodes 1a and 1b
This causes the pest 4 to receive an electric shock.

If the configuration described above is installed, for example, on the outer peripheral wall surface 6a of the article entrance 6 of the storage cabinet 6 shown in FIG. 2, even if there is a gap 1'' between the wall surface 6a and the door 7, This can make it difficult for pests 4 to enter the accommodation chamber 6b.

The pest 4, which has walked from the outer wall of the shoe cabinet 6 in the direction of arrow A, touches the electrode 1 on the way to the storage chamber 5b. a, 1bK'! Therefore, it comes into contact, and receives a stain impact shock and escapes in the direction of arrow B or B' (outward).

However, pest 4 not only escapes to the outside as described above, but also
In some cases, the particles pass through the electrodes 1a and 1b and escape in the direction of arrow C (inward), and in such a case, they are allowed to enter the storage chamber 6b. This largely depends on where the electrodes 1a and 1b are arranged.

In other words, if the electrodes 1a and 1b are placed close to the door 7 as shown in FIG. 7 becomes a hindrance, so they are unable to escape outwards and end up in the direction of arrow C.

Experiments have shown that when the electrodes 1a and 1b are placed in a place where there is no door or the like in their relative vicinity, most of the pests 4 return in the direction they had walked (outward) after receiving an electric shock. Although it has been well confirmed, as mentioned above, electrodes 1a and 1b are located near the door 7, etc.
When electrode 1b is provided, there are cases where the above-mentioned disadvantages occur, and cases where this disadvantage occurs are when electrode 1a is provided.
.

The insulation interval W portion between 1b becomes higher as it is set further inward (towards the storage chamber 5b) from the outer circumferential surface level L of the door 7. In other words, as the setting position of the insulation interval W moves inward, the pest 4 has more parts of its body located within the gap T, and it becomes more difficult to escape to the outside after receiving an electric shock. It is.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention reduces the number of cases in which the above-mentioned disadvantages occur,
The purpose is to more reliably prevent pests from entering the containment room.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the electric insect repellent device of the present invention has the following features:
The opening and the opening/closing body are arranged so as to face the outer peripheral wall of the opening and cover the opening. The structure is such that it is located outward from the center level of the container and close to the outer circumferential surface level of the opening/closing body, which is said to more reliably prevent pests from entering the containment chamber. There are advantages.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 10.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage body having a storage chamber 2 for storing dishes, people, etc. In this embodiment, a storage cabinet is shown as an example, but it may also be kitchen furniture, a washstand, etc. It may also be a building wall that constitutes a living space such as. 3
is an opening formed in a part of the storage body 1, which is the storage cabinet 7).
In the case of a building, it is an entrance for the entrance and exit of stored items, and in the wall of a building, it is a window or the entrance and exit for people. Reference numeral 4 denotes an opening/closing body such as a door for opening and closing the opening 3. In this embodiment, the opening/closing body is rotatably mounted via a hinge 4a, but it may be possible to move it vertically or horizontally. It will be done. The opening/closing body 4 is sized so as to face the outer circumferential wall surface 1a around the opening 3, so that the opening 3 is seeded.

sa and sb are a pair of electrodes made of a conductive material in a band shape, and which electrodes e; They are arranged substantially parallel to each other, and appropriate means such as adhesives and tackers are used for the arrangement.

Further, the insulation interval W portion of the electrodes 5a, sb is located outside (on the outside surface side of the container 1) from the center level O of the portion E where the opening/closing body 4 faces the outer peripheral wall portion 1a, and It is set to be located near the outer circumferential surface level L of the opening/closing body 4. In other words, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the insulation interval W is set approximately 2-degrees inward from the level L (closer to the storage chamber 2 side). In this case, a commercial power supply or a dry cell battery is used, but in this embodiment, a dry cell battery is used, and its ■ side is connected to one electrode 6&, and its θ side is connected to the other electrode 6b via an electric wire 7.The power source 6 If the voltage is about 6V or more, it is possible to give an electric shock to pests such as cockroaches8, and of course it can be higher than that, but if the voltage is too high, it may cause electric shock to the human body. Since the electrodes 6a and sb cannot be placed in the area, it is best to set the voltage to about soV or less so that the human body will not be shocked and the insect pests 8 will receive a strong electric shock. 1' when disposing electrodes 5a and sb on
It may be ooV or more. Also, using a commercial power supply, sO
When the voltage is about V, the voltage is lowered by a transformer (not shown).

In the above configuration, when a pest 8, such as a cockroach, which has walked on the outer surface of the container 1 as shown by arrow A in FIG.
, esb, its body such as its front and rear limbs or antennae touches the electrodes sa and sb, so a current flows inside the body of the cockroach 80, and this electric shock causes the cockroach 8 to follow the arrows B and B/.

They will escape in either direction C. If the cockroach 8 escapes in the direction of arrow B or B' (outward), the cockroach 8 will not invade the containment chamber 2, but if it escapes in the direction of arrow C (inward), as described in the problem section As a result, the cockroaches 8 are allowed to enter the housing chamber 2. However, in this embodiment, the insulation interval W portion of the electrodes sa and 5b is
The electrode sa is located outside the center level 0 of the opening/closing body 4 (on the outer surface side of the container 1) and near the outer circumferential surface level L of the opening/closing body 4. ,sb
Since this is set, the probability of the cockroach 8 escaping in the direction of arrow C (inward) can be reduced.

In other words, by setting the insulation interval W to the above position, the insect pest 8 receives an electric shock while its head portion is within the gap T between the outer peripheral wall surface 1a and the opening/closing body 4, and this state In this case, the opening/closing body 4 is less of a hindrance, so the pests 8 can easily escape in the direction of the arrow B or B' (outward).

6, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the insulation interval W portion is located at approximately the same level as the L level, and FIG.

Figure 8 shows an example in which the insulation gap is located slightly outside the L level (approximately 3III) (on the outside surface side of the container 1). Since the electric shock is received with most of the body of the pest 8 located outside the gap T, the pest 8 can easily escape and a high effect can be obtained.

FIGS. 9 and 10 show an example in which one electrode 6a is disposed in the container 1 and the other electrode 5b is disposed in the opening/closing body 4, and substantially the same effect can be obtained with this configuration.

Note that e in FIGS. 6 and 9 indicates a member made of a flexible material such as rubber, which is attached to the outer peripheral wall portion 1a between the insulation interval W portion and the accommodation chamber 2 or the back surface of the opening/closing body 4. This has the advantage that even if the insect pests 8 pass through the electrodes 5a and sb, they are prevented from entering the storage chamber 2 by the member 9, and have not been adopted in embodiments in other countries. may be done.

Effects of the InventionAs will be explained in the above embodiments, it is clear that the electric shock type insect control device of the present invention makes it easier for pests such as cockroaches to escape toward the outer surface of the container after receiving an electric shock.
This has the advantage of reliably preventing pests from entering the containment chamber.

Although only one pair of opposing electrodes is shown in each embodiment, a plurality of pairs of opposing electrodes may be provided in addition to this.
