Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention is a cockroach that engages in rational activities that are harmful to hygiene.

Utilizes the ecological habits of similar insects such as ants to prevent these insects from entering structures that house items such as food, such as storage cabinets, food storage, bathrooms, houses, etc. This invention relates to an insect repellent device.

Conventional Structure and Problems In general, this type of device is easy for insects such as cockroaches to invade, so they either use a trapping device or provide a bar or kin at the contact area between the opening and the door to prevent intrusion. ing. Since the trapping device is disposed in a passageway for cockroaches, etc., although some effects can be expected, it cannot prevent all cockroaches etc. from entering the structure. In addition, products 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 a gap of just 1 mm, so it cannot be expected to be effective as a means of preventing intrusion. be.

By the way, as an electric insect repellent device, one shown in FIG. 6 is known. This insect repellent includes an insulating base material 1, and a pair of electrode bodies 3 disposed in parallel on the upper surface of the insulating base material 1 with a distance 2 between them.
4, and a dry battery 5 that applies voltage between the electrode bodies 3 and 4.

For example, cockroaches secrete sticky substances on the soles of their legs, so it is known that if a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between the two legs of a cockroach, it will receive a severe electrical shock. Here, when the cockroach 6 is about to move on the floor and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the surface of the electrode body 3.4, a voltage is applied to the cockroach 6, and the cockroach 6
receives a violent electric blow and yelp and jumps. After experiencing this several times, the cockroaches eventually stop in front of the electrode bodies 3.4 and try to turn back in the opposite direction to the direction in which they were moving, and eventually become reluctant to approach the vicinity of the electrode bodies 3.4.

This is because by experiencing several drowsiness shocks, cockroaches acquire a kind of learning effect, visually detecting that something dangerous is present and trying to defend themselves.

° This can be seen from the fact that it reacts similarly to other materials made of the same material as the electrode body to which no voltage is applied. Therefore, by using such a device, in addition to simply applying an electric shock to the cockroaches to prevent them from advancing, it is possible to expect a repellent effect of preventing cockroaches from approaching the cockroaches.

The present inventors have considered installing the electric insect repellent described above, which is effective as an insect repellent, in a structure having an opening.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a band-shaped electric insect repellent 9 is attached so that its end abuts against the rim of the opening 8 of the storage cabinet 7.

By the way, sake, soy sauce, etc. are stored in the storage section 10 of the storage cabinet 7, and there is a risk that the stored items may spill out, so in the evening, as shown in FIG. 1o, spilled liquid flows down to the abutment part 11 and easily adheres between the electrode bodies 3 and 4.
There was a problem in which there was a short circuit.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes the above-mentioned problems into consideration, and aims to provide an insect repellent device that can prevent short circuits between a pair of electrodes and always exhibit a reliable insect repellent function.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the insect repellent device of the present invention includes a structure for storing objects, etc., and a band-shaped electric insect repellent device disposed with its end abutting against the wall surface of the structure around the opening of the structure. The electric insect repellent includes at least one pair of electrode bodies to which a voltage is applied and which are arranged facing each other with a small insulation gap, and the abutting part of the electric insect repellent is connected to the housing part of the structure. It is configured to be placed above the bottom level, so even if liquid spills in the container, it will not flow down to the butt part of the electric insect repellent, preventing short circuit between the pair of electrode bodies, and ensuring reliable insect repellent function at all times. It is something that can demonstrate.

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

In the figure, reference numeral 13 has an opening 14, and an accommodating portion 1 inside.
5, and the opening 14
A band-shaped electric insect repellent 17 is attached to the opening rim 16 surrounding the housing, and the butting part 18 is located on the upper plate of the storage cabinet 13, which is above the level of the bottom surface 19 of the housing part 16. ing. The electric insect repellent 17 is applied with a voltage of, for example, about 6v to 4ov from the power supply part 2o, and a resin insulating part 21 of a small size (about 2 mm) is applied.
It consists of a pair of resin electrode bodies 22 and 23 that are integrated by extrusion molding or the like with the electrode bodies 22 and 23 interposed therebetween.

In the insect repellent device having the above configuration, since the abutment part 18 of the electric insect repellent 17 is arranged above the level of the bottom surface 19 of the housing part 16, even if liquid spills in the housing part 15, the liquid will be transferred to the electric insect repellent 17. It does not flow down to the abutting portion 18 of the electrode bodies 22 and 23, thereby preventing a short circuit between the pair of electrode bodies 22 and 23, resulting in a drop in voltage, and unnecessary consumption of the power source.

4 and 61 both show other embodiments of the present invention. In the one shown in FIG. 4, an electric insect repellent 17 is attached to the outer wall of the opening 140 of the storage cabinet 13, and the abutting portion 18 is arranged on the upper plate of the storage cabinet 13.

The electric insect repellent 17 shown in FIG. 5 is attached to the inner wall of the edge of the opening 140 of the storage cabinet 13, and the butt part 18 is arranged on the side plate of the storage cabinet 13.

In the above embodiments, the storage cabinets are described in rows, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a structure having a storage section for storing things.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, in the insect repellent device of the present invention, even if liquid spills in the storage part, it does not flow down to the abutting part of the electric insect repellent, and short circuit between the pair of electrode bodies is prevented. It can always provide a reliable insect repellent function, and its value is great.
