Description

Trap Apparatus for vermin}

The present invention relates to a pest capture device for capturing pests including rats, and more particularly, to a pest capture device that prevents water from entering the pest capture device in rainy weather.

Pests are insects or animals that harm humans and livestock. Common pests found in the surrounding environment, such as homes and offices, include rats, cockroaches, dust trimmers, ants, ticks, centipedes, and mosquitoes. These pests are devouring food and textiles, damaging life directly and indirectly. In addition, through the excretion of pests, harmful pathogens are also transferred. In recent years, the increase of pests due to environmental pollution, the control of pests has emerged as a big problem. Therefore, at home, at work or in the community, there are many ways to eliminate pests.

There are many methods for capturing pests. Among these methods, the following methods are widely used in general households.

In general, pest capture methods include placing medicines mixed with food in containers such as plates or boxes and placing them in places or passageways where many pests gather. Alternatively, a trap for trapping pests may be disposed on a path of the pest, such as a mouse, and a bait or food may be disposed on the trap to attract the pest. Alternatively, a pesticide may be sprayed directly onto the pest using a spray or a method of saturating in the air so that the pest is inhaled or buried and then killed.

However, conventional pest capture methods have the following problems.

First, there is a risk that children or pets will get hurt while touching the traps. There is also a risk that children or pets may eat foods that contain pesticides.

In addition, when spraying the pesticide with a spray pesticide component directly on the body of a person or pet is a health risk. In addition, even when applied to household appliances, clothing, tableware, etc., the pesticide will remain on the surface of the product for a long time, it may affect people and pets such as allergies or skin diseases.

In order to prevent such a problem, a pest trapping device having a box-shaped housing, arranging medicine or food for attracting pests inside the housing, and having a trapping means such as a trap or a sticking agent to catch the pest is proposed. It became.

However, the conventional pest capture device as described above also has the following problems.

When the conventional pest trapping device is installed outdoors, water may be introduced into the pest trapping device through the doorway during rainy weather. In addition, even when it is not rainy, even if the user sprays water on the bottom surface of the place where the pest trap device is installed, the moisture on the bottom surface may be introduced into the pest trap device through the doorway.

In such a case, there is a problem that the inflow of water lowers the trapping efficiency of the pest trapping device and damages the trapping means provided in the pest trapping device.

In particular, in the case of using a feed agent containing an insecticide component as the capture means, the feed agent may be lost or rotted or damaged as the feed agent is flooded by the introduced water. Thus, the pest may not eat the decayed feed, or the insecticidal ingredient contained in the feed is diluted or lost by the moisture, so that the pest does not work even if the pest eats the feed. The pesticidal efficiency of may decrease.

In addition, even when using the sticky strap as the capture means, the adhesion of the sticky tape is lowered due to the introduced water, and the capture efficiency is lowered.

Second, there is a problem that the hygiene state inside the pest trapping device is poor.

For example, when there are pests trapped in the pest trap device or when the feed agent is provided, the trapped insects or the feed agent decay due to the introduced moisture.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pest trapping device which prevents water from entering into a housing.

As described above, although described with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications and variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below I can understand that you can.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited by the embodiments.

The pest of the present invention refers to any animal that is harmful to humans, and refers to, for example, rats, cockroaches, dusters, ants, ticks, centipedes, mosquitoes, and the like.

In addition, the capture of the present invention includes not only capturing the pest in a living state, but also killing the pest using insecticide means.

Hereinafter, a pest capture device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The pest capture device 100 includes a housing 110 in which a plurality of entrances and exits 101 are formed to enable the entrance and exit of pests into the housing 110, and are provided in the housing 110 and introduced into the housing 110. Capture unit 120 to capture the pest, and the supporter 150 is provided in the lower portion of the housing 110 to absorb the moisture to expand the volume.

In the present embodiment and the drawings for the convenience of capturing the rats described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, it can be applied to all the pest capture device for capturing pests, such as cockroaches and ants, such as rats There will be.

The housing 110 may be formed of a detachable main body case 111 and a cover case 113. For example, the body case 111 may be formed in a box shape having a predetermined volume of space therein, a polygonal cross section, and an open top surface. The cover case 113 may have a shape corresponding to an upper surface of the main body case 111, and may have a box shape having a lower height than the main body case 111, or a plate that may be coupled to an upper surface of the main body case 111. It may have a form. Of course, the housing 110 may have a box shape in which the body case 111 and the cover case 113 are integrally formed.

In addition, the main body case 111 and the cover case 113 is formed to be fixed to each other. For example, the cover case 113 can accommodate the top surface of the main body case 111 so that the cover case 113 and the main body case 111 can be combined by a simple fitting. It may have a box shape of polygonal cross section having a lower height than 111).

Alternatively, although not shown, a fastening part (not shown) for fixing the cover case 113 and the main body case 111 to at least one side of the cover case 113 and the main body case 111 and the A fixing part (not shown) may be provided to fix the cover case 113 and the main body case 111 in a locked state.

Meanwhile, the cover case 113 may be slidably coupled to the body case 111 or may be hinged to allow the user to easily open and close the housing 110. In addition, a handle may be provided at one side of the cover case 113 so that a user can conveniently open and close the housing 110.

A plurality of entrances and exits 101 are formed at the side of the housing 110 to allow the pests to enter and exit. Here, since the pest has a characteristic of being reluctant to enter the space without the outlet, in order to induce the pest to smoothly flow into the housing 110, at least two or more entrances 101 are formed so as to be an inlet and an outlet. It is desirable to. In addition, the plurality of entrances and exits 101 may be formed along the side of the housing 110 to allow the pest to enter the housing 110 in various directions.

For example, the doorway 101 may be a circular or semicircular opening penetrating the housing 110 to facilitate the entrance and exit of the pest. In addition, the doorway 101 is formed so that the lower end of the doorway 101 and the bottom surface of the housing 110 does not step so that the pest does not interfere with movement when the pest passes through the doorway (101). For example, the lower end of the doorway 101 is formed to be coplanar with the bottom surface of the housing 110. However, the shape and location of the doorway 101 is not limited thereto, and may have a variety of shapes and locations that allow the entrance and exit of the pest into the housing 110.

On the other hand, inside the main body case 111 is provided with a capture unit 120 for capturing the pests introduced into the housing 110. In addition, in order to improve the pest trapping efficiency of the pest trapping device 100, the trapping part 120 must pass pests introduced into the doorway 101 in the housing 110 through the trapping part 120. Or to move to the capture unit 120.

The capture unit 120 is a portion where the pest is substantially captured, may be provided with a food containing a drug that can attract or kill the pest, a string or a trap may be used.

For example, since the adhesive surface is formed on the upper surface of the sticky material, when the pest passes through the upper surface, the pest sticks to the adhesive surface and is captured. In addition, the trap is a method of physically capturing the pest after attracting the pest by arranging the bait to attract the pest. In addition, the drug is a method of capturing by ingesting a substance capable of attracting or killing the pest by ingesting the pest. The drug may be used alone, or may be mixed and used for feeding. Here, in the case of a feed agent mixed with medicine to the feed, it can be used in a container or the like formed with a receiving portion of a predetermined depth to accommodate the feed agent.

On the other hand, the pest capture device 100 may be formed so that the lower end of the entrance 101 is located on a plane substantially similar to the bottom surface on which the pest capture device 100 is installed so as not to interfere with the movement of the pest. . Therefore, when there is more moisture on the bottom surface as in the rain, moisture may flow into the housing 110 through the doorway 101.

In this embodiment, the supporter 150 is provided to prevent the water from entering the housing 110 through the doorway 101 by increasing the height of the housing 110 when the moisture on the bottom surface increases. .

The supporter 150 is provided at the lower portion of the housing 110 to absorb moisture, thereby raising the housing 110 from the bottom surface as the volume expands. Therefore, as the housing 110 and the entrance 101 are spaced apart from the bottom by a predetermined height, it is possible to prevent water from flowing through the entrance 101.

In addition, the water introduced into the housing 110 prevents the capture means such as the feed agent provided in the capture unit 120 from being damaged, and further, the pest 1 in the capture unit 120. There is an effect of preventing the trapping efficiency from decreasing. That is, by preventing moisture from flowing into the housing 110, the feeding agent may be decayed or the pesticide component contained in the feeding agent may be lost due to immersion. Or it prevents the adhesive force of a stickiness from falling by immersion.

On the other hand, in the following description in the direction in which the supporter 150 is expanded, the up and down direction, that is, the direction in which the housing 110 is raised in the longitudinal direction, the left and right directions on the drawing, that is, the housing The circumferential direction of 110 is called a transverse direction.

Meanwhile, in the drawing, the thickness of the supporter 150 is exaggerated, and it is preferable that the supporter 150 has a relatively thin thickness in a dry state. In addition, the state in which the supporter 150 is expanded by absorbing moisture is also exaggerated.

However, when the supporter 150 absorbs and expands moisture, the housing 110 should be raised to a sufficient height from the bottom surface to prevent the moisture from flowing through the entrance 101. Therefore, when the height of the housing 110 rises, since the pests are not easily accessible to the doorway 101, the guide unit 160 is provided to allow the pests to flow in and out of the doorway 101.

For example, the guide unit 160 may be an inclined surface connecting the doorway 101 and the bottom surface. In detail, the guide unit 160 is a plate having a predetermined length. One end of the guide unit 160 is coupled to the housing 110 under the doorway 101, and the other end is angled with the bottom surface. It is provided to contact with. In addition, the guide unit 160 may be connected to the lower portion of the doorway 101 to guide the movement of the pest to move to the doorway (101).

Here, since the height of the housing 110 is variable, the guide unit 160 is preferably formed so as to connect the doorway 101 and the bottom surface at all times even if the height of the housing 110 is different. Do. In detail, one end of the guide unit 160 is hinged to the housing 110, and the other end of the guide unit 160 is formed to be in contact with the bottom surface without being fixed. Accordingly, as the height of the housing 110 changes, the guide unit 160 rotates the hinge 161 about an axis and moves freely on the bottom surface, whereby the guide unit 160 forms the bottom surface. The angle of inclination is changed so that it is always in contact with the bottom surface.

However, the guide unit 160 is not limited to the above description and drawings, and the guide unit 160 may be in various shapes in contact with the bottom surface by the height change of the housing 110. Can have

According to the present embodiment, the pest may be easily introduced into the housing 110 by the guide unit 160 even when the housing 110 is spaced apart from the bottom surface by the supporter 150. . Therefore, even when the volume of the supporter 150 expands as in rainy weather, the pest trapping performance of the pest trapping apparatus 100 may be maintained.

Hereinafter, the supporter 150 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

The supporter 150 includes an absorbent 153 formed of a material that absorbs moisture and expands in volume, and a main body 151 that accommodates the absorbent 153 and forms an appearance of the supporter 150.

The absorber 153 is a material that absorbs moisture and expands in volume, and may be, for example, a super absorbent polymer. In particular, the absorbent 153 may absorb at least 10 times, preferably at least 30 times, the weight of the absorbent 153 when an excessive amount of moisture is introduced. In addition, the absorbent 153 is preferably formed of a material that does not dissolve in water to maintain the expanded state by absorbing moisture. That is, the absorbent 153 may be an organic or inorganic polymer that absorbs moisture and expands in volume and maintains the original property or physical structure of the absorbent 153 even in the expanded state.

The absorber 153 may have a powder form or a solid particle form having a predetermined size.

The particle absorbent 153 may be directly accommodated in the main body 151, but a separate envelope 152 is provided for accommodating the absorbent 153 in the main body 151. Can be. For example, the envelope 152 may be formed of a material having a high permeability to facilitate the permeation of moisture, and may be formed of a stretchable material that may expand together by the expansion of the absorbent material 153. Accordingly, the volume of the absorbent 153 expands as the moisture introduced into the main body 151 passes through the envelope 152 and is absorbed by the absorbent 153. In addition, the envelop 152 is extended by the expansion of the absorbent 153, and is in close contact with the inside of the main body 151.

As an embodiment different from the above-described embodiment, the envelope 152 is formed of a water-permeable material, and formed so that the envelope 152 may be ruptured when the absorbent material 153 expands in volume to a predetermined size or more. Can be. For example, the envelope 152 may be a paper. In this case, when the absorbent 153 expands to a predetermined volume or more, the envelope 152 is ruptured, and the absorbent 153 is dispersed into the main body 151. As the volume of the absorbent material 153 expands in the main body 151, the main body 151 expands to raise the height of the housing 110.

On the other hand, as an embodiment different from the above-described embodiments, the absorber 153 may have a plate or sheet form.

In detail, the absorbent material 153 may be in the form of a fiber or sheet containing the superabsorbent polymer. In this case, as the absorbent material 153 absorbs moisture, the volume of the sheet or the fiber itself may be expanded to expand the supporter 150.

Alternatively, the absorbent material 153 may be formed in a plate shape including the superabsorbent polymer, and the supporter 150 may have a structure in which the absorbent material 153 in the plate shape is stacked. Here, the absorbent 153 may be formed so as to be spaced apart from each of the stacked absorbents 153 as the volume of the absorbent 153 expands by absorbing moisture. Accordingly, as the superabsorbent polymer absorbs moisture, not only the volume of the absorbent material 153 itself expands, and as the absorbent material 153 expands, the stacked absorbent material 153 is spaced apart from the supporter 150. It is also possible to have a structure in which the volume of the whole is expanded.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the absorbent 153 may have substantially various forms in which the volume thereof is expandable by absorbing moisture.

The absorbent 153 may have a characteristic of returning to its original form as it is naturally dried after a predetermined time elapses after absorbing and expanding water. Therefore, after a predetermined time elapses after the supporter 150 absorbs moisture, the supporter 150 may be dried and reused. In addition, the absorbent 153 may have a characteristic that the drying speed is improved by heat or wind. That is, the absorber 153 is quickly dried by applying heat or wind to the absorber 153 that absorbs the moisture, and the dried supporter 150 may be installed in the housing 110 to be used continuously. have.

Of course, in addition to the above-described embodiments, the supporter 150 may be manufactured for a single use. That is, the supporter 150 is formed to be separated from the housing 110, and when the supporter 150 absorbs water and expands, the user removes it and installs a new supporter 150 before absorbing water. have.

In the dry state, the absorbent 153 has a smaller size than the main body 151. For example, the body 151 has an acceptable volume when the absorbent material 153 is fully inflated. In addition, the main body 151 is coupled to the housing 110 in a folded state corresponding to the absorbent material 153 in the dry state so as to have a minimum volume. Here, the main body 151 in a dry state has a larger size than the absorbent 153 in consideration of the expansion of the absorbent 153.

The absorber 153 may be accommodated in the body 151. Alternatively, the absorber 153 may be fixed to a position at the center of the main body 151 so that the absorbent 153 may uniformly expand in the main body 151. That is, an envelope fixing unit 155 may be provided to fix the envelope 152 in which the absorber 153 is accommodated in the body 151.

For example, the envelope fixing part 155 may have a protrusion shape protruding into the main body 151 to fix the envelope 152 or the absorbent material 153. Here, the envelop fixing part 155 and the absorbent 153 may be formed in a structure that is coupled by a simple detachable method, or the envelop fixing part 155 may stably fix the absorbent 153. It may have a screw shape to fix it. Referring to the drawings, an envelop fixing part 155 protruding a predetermined height is provided in the main body 151, and a hole penetrating the envelop fixing part 155 is formed in the absorbent material 153. The envelope fixing part 155 may be fixed through the absorbent material 153.

Although not shown, the envelope fixing part 155 may be provided outside the envelope 152 to be a plurality of threads or wires connecting the main body 151. That is, the envelope fixing part 155 is provided between each corner of the envelope 152 and the inside of the main body 151, and in a dry state, tension is applied to fix the position of the envelope 152. .

Here, since the envelope 152 is finally brought into close contact with the inside of the main body 151 by the expansion of the absorbent material 152, the envelope fixing part 155 does not interfere with the expansion of the envelope 152. It is desirable to have a form that does not occur. That is, the envelop fixing part 155 in the form of a seal or wire is loosened due to release of tension as the envelop 152 expands, and the main body 151 and the main body are expanded by the envelop 152. It can be accommodated without interference between the envelopes 152.

The main body 151 is formed of a water-permeable material to facilitate the transmission of moisture. For example, the body 151 may be formed of a fiber having high water permeability. Alternatively, the main body 151 may have a mesh shape so that moisture may pass therethrough.

In addition, the main body 151 accommodates the absorbent 153 and has a form in which a volume can expand as the absorbent 153 expands. For example, the main body 151 is formed of an elastic material to expand by the expansion of the absorbent material 153.

Here, even before the supporter 150 absorbs water and expands, the housing 110 is positioned above the bottom surface by the height of the supporter 150. This may interfere with the movement of the pest to enter the housing 110. Therefore, the supporter 150 may have a height sufficiently low so that the height before absorbing moisture does not interfere with the pest entering the housing 110.

That is, the main body 151 has a volume when the absorbent material 153 is fully inflated, and is formed to have a minimum height in a dry state. For example, the body 151 may be formed of a flexible material that can be folded in a dry state. That is, the main body 151 is minimized in a folded state when the absorbent material 153 is dry, and the housing 110 is expanded while the absorbent material 153 expands to fill the main body 151. You can increase the height of.

In addition, the main body 151 is preferably formed to maintain a predetermined shape in a state in which the volume is inflated to the maximum. In particular, the main body 151 preferably has a relatively uniform height in the state of maximum expansion. For example, the main body 151 may have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a lower portion of the housing 110 and may have a pillar shape having a predetermined height. In addition, the main body 151 maintains its shape in the state where the absorbent material 153 is inflated, supports the pest trapping device 100 from below, and expands the absorbent material as the absorber material 153 expands. It is desirable to have a predetermined strength so that the 100 can be pushed up.

On the other hand, the absorbent material 153 is expanded in all directions, the supporter 150 is preferably expanded in the longitudinal direction to increase the height of the housing 110. For example, the main body 151 may be formed of a material having no elasticity to suppress lateral expansion. In detail, the main body 151 has an envelope shape having a volume corresponding to when the absorbent material 153 is fully inflated, and is formed of a flexible or thin material to be folded when dried. That is, the main body 151 is formed to expand the main body 151 as the inside of the main body 151 is filled by the expansion of the absorbent 153. In addition, the main body 151 is formed to have a height to raise the housing 110 when the maximum unfolded. Accordingly, the main body 151 may fix the shape of the main body 151 when the absorbent material 153 is fully inflated, and may stably support the housing 110 in a state where the height is increased. .

On the other hand, when the pest capture device 100 is installed outdoors, the bottom surface (hereinafter referred to as the bottom surface) of the place where the pest capture device 100 is installed, in particular, when installed on the ground, included in the soil Moisture may be absorbed by the absorber 153. Therefore, in the present exemplary embodiment, a waterproof part 133 is provided to prevent the moisture contained in the ground contacted with the pest trapping device 100 from being absorbed by the absorbent material 153.

In detail, the waterproof part 133 is formed of a watertight material which cannot penetrate moisture, and is provided below the main body 151. For example, the waterproof part 133 may be a film or plate of a watertight material such as epoxy.

The waterproof part 133 may be coupled to the lower portion of the main body 151 by using an adhesive. Alternatively, the waterproof part 133 may have a liquid or viscous gel state to be applicable, and an embodiment in which the waterproof part 133 is directly applied to the surface of the main body 151 may be possible.

Alternatively, the waterproof part 133 may be formed as a separate object and attached to the main body 151, but a part of the main body 151 that contacts the bottom surface may be waterproofed or waterproofed using fiber. It would be possible.

Meanwhile, in the drawing, the thickness of the waterproof part 133 is exaggerated, and the waterproof part 133 may have a thickness thinner than the thickness of the main body 151 or the housing 110. Of course, the waterproof part 133 may have a plate shape having a predetermined thickness and rigidity to support the main body 151 and the pest trapping device 100 on the bottom surface.

The supporter 150 is formed to be separated from the housing 110. In addition, a coupling part for fixing the supporter 150 to the housing 110 is provided.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the supporter 150 is coupled to the housing 110 using an adhesive member 131. The adhesive member 131 is a means for providing an adhesive force to the body 151 and the housing 110, and includes a double-sided adhesive tape or an adhesive.

As another embodiment of the coupling unit, as shown in FIG. 5, the housing 110 and the supporter 150 may be coupled using the fastening member 105. For example, the fastening member 105 may be a screw or bolt. In addition, a fastening member 105 may be provided at one side of the housing 110 or the supporter 150, and a hole or a groove may be formed at the other side of the housing 110 or the supporter 150 to enable the fastening member 105 to be fastened. For example, at least one fastening hole is formed in the lower portion of the housing 110, and the fastening member 105 is coupled to the fastening hole of the housing 110 by penetrating the main body 151 so that the housing ( 110 and the supporter 150 is fixed.

Here, the fastening member 105 is not limited to the form shown in the drawings, the fastening member 105 may have a substantially various shape to fix the housing 110 and the supporter 150. Could be.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the coupling part may be substantially various means for detachably coupling the supporter 150 to the housing 110.

Hereinafter, the supporter 250 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. For reference, in the supporter 250 described below, the same names and reference numerals are given to the same elements as the above-described embodiments, and overlapping descriptions thereof will be omitted.

The supporter 250 includes an absorbent 253 formed of a material that absorbs moisture and expands in volume, and a main body 251 that accommodates the absorber 253 and forms an appearance of the supporter 250.

The main body 251 has a volume when the absorbent material 253 is fully inflated, but is formed to be folded to have a minimum height in a dry state. For example, the main body 251 may have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a lower portion of the housing 110 and may have a pillar shape having a predetermined height. In addition, in the dry state, the main body 251 is coupled to the housing 110 in a folded state to minimize the height, when the moisture is increased on the floor surface on which the pest trapping device 100 is installed, the moisture As the absorbent material 253 absorbs and expands in volume, the main body 251 is formed to expand in maximum volume.
