Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention utilizes the ecological habits of similar insects, such as cockroaches and fly ants, which engage in hygienically harmful mixed attack activities. This invention relates to an insect control device for preventing insects from entering structures that house foods, such as storage cabinets, food storages, bathrooms, and houses.

Conventional configurations and their problems In general, this type of device is easily invaded by insects such as cockroaches, so a trapping device is used or a hole is installed at the contact area between the opening and the door to prevent intrusion. Since the trapping device is placed in the path of cockroaches, etc., although it can be expected to have some effect, it cannot prevent all cockroaches etc. from entering the structure.In addition, the device using a seal deteriorates over time. On the other hand, cockroaches and the like can invade even if there is only one gap, so it cannot be expected to be effective as a means of preventing intrusion.By the way, as an electric insect repellent, An insect repellent as shown in Fig. 4 is known.This insect repellent includes an insulating base material 1, and a pair of electrode bodies 3, 4 arranged in parallel on the upper surface with a gap 2 between them.
A dry battery 5 applies voltage between the electrode bodies 3 and 4.

For example, it is known that cockroaches secrete sticky substances on the soles of their legs, so that when a voltage of approximately 1000 volts is applied between the two legs of a cockroach, the cockroaches receive a severe electrical charge. Here, when the cockroach 6 tries to move along the floor and its legs cross the gap 2 and touch the surfaces of the electrode bodies 3 and 4, a voltage is applied to the cockroach 6, and the cockroach 6 receives a severe electric shock. Receive it and jump. After experiencing this several times, the cockroach will eventually stop in front of the electrode body 3 and 4 and try to turn back in the opposite direction to the direction it was traveling.
Eventually, they no longer try to approach the vicinity of the electrode body 3.4. This is because by experiencing several electric shocks, the 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, in addition to simply applying an electric shock to the cockroaches to prevent them from advancing, such a device can also be expected to have the 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 and an opening/closing body. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, an electric insect repellent 10 is attached to the edge 9 of the opening 8 of a storage cabinet 7, and a separate gasket 11 is also used to improve airtightness and insect repellency. .

By the way, it is troublesome to individually attach the electric insect repellent 10 and the gasket 11, and it is especially troublesome to attach the electric insect repellent 1o'' and the gasket 11 to the narrow edge 9 of the opening 8 of the cabinet 7, for example. And electric insect repellent 1
0 or the gasket 11 may protrude beyond the mouth edge 9.

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 in which an electric insect repellent and a gasket can be easily and stylishly attached to a structure having an opening.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the insect repellent device of the present invention includes a structure for accommodating objects, an opening of the structure, and an opening of the structure, which is provided so as to face the surface of the structure. an opening/closing body arranged around the opening, and a gasket disposed at a portion where the opening/closing body faces the wall surface of the structure around the opening, and a voltage is applied to the outer surface of the gasket, and an insulation interval between the receiving rods is At least one pair of electrode bodies are provided integrally with the rim of the cabinet.In addition to electric shock and insect protection by sealing, the integration of the electrode body and gasket makes it easy to install. As such, it can be easily and neatly installed even in narrow spaces.

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

In the figure, 12 is a storage cabinet having an opening 13 and a door 14, and a lip 1 surrounding the opening 13.
A gasket 16 made of soft resin is attached with adhesive, tacker, etc. on the surface facing the door 14 of 6, and the outer surface of this gasket 16 is electrically shocked with an insulation gap 17 of a small amount (2 + + + m@). Electrode body 19.2 constituting the insect repellent 18
0 is integrally attached by extrusion molding or gluing.

21 is a power supply unit that applies a low voltage, for example 6 to 40, to the electrode bodies 19 and 20.

The insect repellent device with the above configuration has an electric insect repellent 18 on the packing 16.
Since the constituent electrode bodies 19, 20 are integrated, there is no need to attach the electrode bodies 19, 20 and the packing 16 individually, and the attachment work can be done simply and easily.

Of course, it has the necessary electric shock insect repellent function and Patsukin 16
It has the effect of preventing insects and sealing.

1. In this embodiment, the spacing 17 between the electrode bodies 19 and 20 is positioned at the level where the gasket 16 and the door 14 come into contact, or closer to the level L, which is closer to the outside of the storage cabinet 12. Even after receiving an electric shock, the housing 22 can easily escape as shown by arrow A in FIG. 2, and is designed to prevent it from entering the storage cabinet 12.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the electrode body 19°20
The gasket 16 having the following structure is provided on the side of the door 14 facing the edge 16 of the opening 13 of the storage cabinet 12.

Although the above embodiments have all been described using storage cabinets as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to structures and structures having openings such as windows of furniture and entrances and exits of storage rooms.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the insect repellent device of the present invention can easily and reliably attach the electric insect repellent and the packing in a structure equipped with an opening/closing body such as a door that opens and closes an opening. It can be installed and has great practical effects.
