Description

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

Conventional Structures and Problems Generally, this type of furniture or storage room has an opening/closing body such as a door that closes an opening, but the opening/closing body is open or has an opening. There is a problem that insects such as cockroaches can get in because there is a small gap between the main body and the opening/closing body. Usually, an insect trap is used, or a gasket to prevent insects is placed between the opening and the opening/closing body. Although the insect trap has some effect because it is placed in the path of insects such as cockroaches, it cannot prevent insects from entering the main body having an opening. In addition, products that use packing may develop slight gaps due to aging.1. On the other hand, insects such as cockroaches can enter even if there is only one gap, so it cannot be said to be a complete pest control method.

By the way, insects, especially cockroaches, secrete sticky substances on the backs of their legs, so when a relatively low voltage is applied between their legs, they are sensitive to electric shocks, and the electric shock causes them to jump and escape. It also has properties.

For this reason, an electric insect repellent as shown in FIG. 8 has been devised. This electric insect repellent has at least a pair of electrode bodies 1, 1 disposed with a small gap 2, and the electrode bodies 1,
A low DC voltage of 10 to 40 V is applied between the two. Note that 3 in the figure indicates a power source such as a dry battery.

Here, the cockroach 4 mixes as shown in the figure, and its limbs touch the pair of electrode bodies 1, 1, which is an old electric cockroach.

They may feel the shock and run away, or they may go into a convulsion, or they may lose electricity and roll over. Therefore, it is extremely effective as an insect repellent.

The present inventors have considered L in which the electric insect repellent described above, which is effective as an insect repellent means, is installed in a structure having an opening. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, an electric insect repellent 7 is attached to the edge of the opening 6 of the storage cabinet 6.

The electric insect repellent 7 is attached by gluing a long insulating plate 8, which has a pair of band-shaped electrode bodies 1.1 on its surface, to the edge of the opening 6 of the storage cabinet 5. As shown by the broken line in FIG. 1o, it becomes misaligned and protrudes beyond the rim of the opening 6, spoiling the appearance. In particular, when four elongated pieces are combined into a frame shape, misalignment causes problems in connecting the ends of the strip-shaped electrode bodies 1, 1.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an insect repellent device which allows an electric insect repellent to be reliably attached without shifting its position, and which is inexpensive in terms of component materials.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage cabinet,
The electrode component comprises a structure having an opening such as a window, an electrode component of an electric insect repellent attached to the mouth edge of the opening, and a power source for applying a low voltage to the electrode component. consists of a front abutting part having at least one pair of electrode bodies arranged with an insulating gap between them, and a locking piece made of an insulating material and protruding rearward from the front abutting part. , the electrode component is attached by positioning the locking piece by driving it into the inside or outside of the opening, or the cut edge of the opening, which facilitates the attachment of the electrode component of the electric insect repellent. Seven things can be achieved by reducing the cost of the electrode component by being able to fix it without shifting its position and by folding it.

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

In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a storage cabinet having an opening 1o and a door 11, and an electric insect repellent 13 is attached to a rim 12 surrounding the opening 10. The electric insect repellent 1
3 is formed in a frame shape as a whole, and consists of an electrode assembly part 16 consisting of a mouth edge front contact part 14, a locking piece part 16 protruding at right angles thereto, and a power supply part 17. The electrode assembly 16 is composed of a pair of electrode bodies 19 and 19 arranged in parallel with an insulating gap 18 between them. In addition, the locking piece 1
6 is made of an insulating material such as synthetic resin. Power supply section 17
consists of a battery that applies a low voltage of 10 to 40 V to the electrode bodies 19 and 19. The electrode body forming part 16 has a mouth edge front contact part 14 in contact with the mouth edge part 12, and a locking piece part 15.
It is fixed by bringing it into contact with the inner side of the mouth edge part 12. In this embodiment, the locking piece 15 is connected to one electrode body 19 and has a rounded cross section. A gasket 20 is provided on the front surface of the end of the mouth edge front contact portion 14 of the groove.

In the insect repellent device having the above structure, when the electrode body component 16 is attached, the locking piece 16 is brought into contact with the inner side of the mouth edge 12. Can be installed without slipping. However, the electrode body forming part 16 does not protrude outside the mouth edge part 12 in the negative state. Further, in the case where the four stone-shaped electrode body constituent parts 16 are electrically connected after being attached, the ends of the electrode bodies 19 can be easily connected to each other because there is no displacement.

In particular, since the electrode component 16 is made of synthetic resin, the parts necessary for electric shock, that is, the locking pieces 16 and the like other than the electrode body 19, are made of synthetic resin, so the cost is reduced in terms of materials. For example, the electrode body 19 is made of a conductive metal, a carbon-containing conductive resin, etc.
This is advantageous in terms of cost compared to a configuration in which these components are included throughout the entire structure.

3 to 9 all show other embodiments of the present invention. In the structure shown in FIG. 3, a locking piece 15 made of an insulating material in an electrode body forming part 16 is provided in a T-shape with the concave edge front abutting part 14, and the concave edge front abutting part 14
straddles the opening edge 12' of the storage box 21 and the front part 12'' of the main cabinet, and the locking piece 15 extends over the opening edge 12'' of the storage box 21.
2' and the front part 12'', and the electrode component 1
6 positioning.

What is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is an electrode component 16 in which an electrode body 19° 19 is stacked on an insulating base material 22, and a locking piece 15 is formed integrally with the insulating base material 22. is,
In addition, a locking piece 15 is formed at one end or both ends of the concave edge front abutment part 14 so that it can be fitted into the mouth edge.

In the case shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a locking piece 15 that is perpendicular to the concave edge front contact portion 14 is formed as a driving foot, and can be driven and fixed to the opening edge 12 of a wooden storage cabinet. It has become.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the electrode component of the electric insect repellent can be easily attached to the edge of the storage cabinet, etc., without any positional deviation.
In addition, the electrode component does not protrude to the outside at the narrow edge of the mouth, and an electrode component with a locking piece can be obtained at low cost, which is of great value.

In the embodiment, the electric insect repellent is provided at the edge of the storage cabinet, but the present invention is not limited to the storage cabinet, and may be installed at the entrance of a bathroom, a window of a house, etc. It goes without saying that electric insect repellents are effective against not only cockroaches but also other infestations such as ants.
