Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a graduate device installed in an open part of a structure such as kitchen furniture, food storage, and 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 the opening. When there is a slight gap between the main body and the opening/closing body, there is a problem that insects such as cockroaches can enter. Usually, an insect trap is used, or a puncture is provided at the abutting part of the opening and the opening/closing unit to prevent insects. Although the insect trap has some effect because it is placed in the path of insects such as cockroaches, it is unable to prevent insects from entering the main body having an opening. In addition, those that use packing may leave small gaps due to deterioration over time, and on the other hand, insects such as cockroaches can enter even if there is a gap of only 1 wL, so it cannot be said to be a complete insect prevention 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 they have the tendency to jump and escape due to the electric shock. There is.

For these reasons, an electric insect repellent as shown in Figure 3 has been devised. This electric insect repellent has at least a pair of electrode bodies 1 and 1' disposed with a small gap 2, and the electrode bodies 1 and 1' are arranged with a small gap 2.
, 1', a low DC voltage of 10 to 40 V is applied between them. Note that 3 in the figure indicates a power source such as a dry battery.

Here, the cockroach 4 moved as shown, and when its limbs touched the pair of electrode bodies 1, 1, it felt an electric shock and ran away 9, or went into a convulsive state - lost electricity and rolled over. do. Therefore, it is extremely effective as an insect repellent.

The present inventors have considered installing the electric insect repellent described above in a structure having an opening and an opening/closing body, which would be effective as an insect repellent means.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, one electrode body 1 is fixed to the front surface of the opening edge of the storage cabinet 6, and the other electrode body 1 is fixed to the outer periphery of the opening edge through an electrically insulating mounting piece 6. The electrode body 1' was fixed.

Reference numeral 7 designates a fixing member such as a pin for fixing the mounting piece 6 to the storage cabinet 1-5, and passes through the electrode body 1' and the mounting piece 6.

In this configuration, if the storage cabinet 5 contains moisture, there is a problem in that a leakage current flows from one electrode body 1 to the fixture 7.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes into consideration the problem described in item 1 above and attempts to provide an insect repellent device in which leakage current does not flow.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the China visiting device of the present invention particularly includes an electrically insulating mounting piece interposed between a structure having an opening such as a storage cabinet and at least one electrode body,
A fixture for fixing this mounting piece to the structure is electrically insulated from the electrode body, and this structure can prevent leakage current from flowing from one electrode body to the fixture.

Description of examples Examples of the present invention will be described below.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a storage cabinet as a structural member having an opening 12 on the front surface.
A first electrode body 14 that connects with the electrode component of the electric insect repellent is provided on the front surface of the mouth rim 13 of No. The second electrode body 16 is fixed. 17 is a fixing device such as a pin for fixing the mounting piece 16 to the storage cabinet 11;
It is arranged to be electrically insulated from the electrode body 16 of.

18 is 10 to 4 on the first electrode body 14 and the second electrode body 16.
This is a battery that applies a low voltage of 0V.

In the insect repellent device having the above configuration, the fixture 17 is electrically insulated from the first electrode body 14 and the second electrode body 16, so that it does not become an electrical path. Therefore, the storage gear binent 1
Even if 1 contains moisture, no leakage current will flow.

As is clear from the description of the embodiments in ``Effects of the Invention'', the insect repellent device of the present invention has the following advantages when fixing the electrically insulating mounting piece interposed between the structure having the opening and the electrode body. Since the fixture is arranged in a spot-insulated manner from the electrode body, the fixture does not become an electrical path, so that no stray current flows and battery consumption is reduced.
