Honeycomb removal device {HONEYCOMB REMOVAL DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a honeycomb removal device, and more particularly, to a honeycomb removal device capable of removing a honeycomb by spraying a high-temperature liquid using the properties of bees or honeycombs that are weak to heat.

As the temperature rises due to global warming, the population of long-lived wasps, which originally inhabited Korea, is on the rise. In recent years, exotic species of wasps such as the black wasp have also been introduced and are rapidly increasing. As the rapid increase in the number of individuals and the reduction of habitats coincide, the number of cases of wasp nests barking and breeding not only on the eaves of people's houses, but also on streets and buildings in the city center is increasing rapidly.

Wasps cause serious damage to beneficial insects such as bees, as well as fatal accidents due to wasp attacks due to their strong toxicity. For this reason, the number of requests to remove the wasps' hives is rapidly increasing every year, and the number of cases where firefighters come to the scene to remove the hives is also increasing, which is disrupting the original mission of the fire department of fire suppression.

On the other hand, wasps have a strong toxicity, and when attacked by beehives, their aggression increases. Due to this, even though experts wear protective gear and carry out the work to remove the beehive, the unfortunate deaths of firefighters are constantly occurring.

Conventional general honeycomb removal operation is generally carried out in a method of removing the honeycomb while capturing or removing bees using a flame spraying device or a collection equipment. This method is very dangerous because firefighters have to approach the hive close to the hive, and because of this, there are more cases of being attacked by wasps.

Wasps have the disadvantage that they are very weak to heat, so there are many cases of removing the honeycomb using a small flame sprayer using butane gas as a raw material, but this method may cause a fire. In fact, there are cases in which a fire broke out in the process of removing the wasp by a firefighter, and an article that the individual firefighter who carried out the removal work was in a position to pay compensation caused social controversy and outrage. Firefighters are in a position to be held accountable in case of a fire despite carrying out a dangerous task of removing wasp nests with their own lives as collateral for public interest without any compensation.

The heating tank 100 may store a liquid therein, and is configured to withstand a constant pressure. As will be described later, water is stored in the heating tank 100 and heated to about 70° C., which is below the boiling point. Therefore, the case where a very high pressure is formed in the heating tank 100 will not occur. However, in order to prevent overheating due to abnormality of the temperature sensor or damage to the heating tank 100 in the process of pressurizing with the pressurizing unit 190, it is preferable to sufficiently withstand a constant pressure. The pressure resistance performance of the heating tank 100 is determined by the pressure applied to the pressurizing unit 190 . The heating tank 100 may be formed of various shapes and materials as long as the material and structure have sufficient heat resistance and pressure resistance to realize the function of the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention, which will be described later. The heating tank 100 is made of a cylindrical stainless material and may be configured in a form in which an insulating material is wrapped around the outside. The heating tank 100 stores a liquid propellant that is easy to heat and harmless to the human body or the surrounding environment. As the propellant, mainly water may be used. Hereinafter, the use of water as a propellant will be described as an example.

The heating unit 110 is provided in the heating tank 100 and serves to heat the water stored in the heating tank 100 . The heating unit 110 may be configured to include a heating coil inside the heating tank 100 so that the heating coil is heated by an external power source. As the external power source, household power or the like may be used. However, since the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention is mainly for use by firefighters, the heating unit 110 may be connected to a fire fighting vehicle and configured to heat during dispatch. Although there are some differences for each type of firefighting vehicle, a battery for operation of the vehicle, an emergency battery, and a portable generator are provided. Therefore, the heating tank 100 can be heated to a temperature of about 70 to 80° C. using the battery in a fire fighting vehicle that is dispatched upon request to remove the honeycomb, and can be used immediately after arriving at the site.

The heating tank 100 may further include an auxiliary heating unit 135 configured to heat the heating tank 100 from the outside. The auxiliary heating unit 135 may be configured in an electric grill method. When the auxiliary heating unit 135 is an electric grill method, a separate battery may be mounted together. The auxiliary heating unit 135 is configured in the form of a gas burner in the lower portion of the heating tank 100, and a method of heating by mounting a portable butane gas may be applied. The auxiliary heating unit 135 quickly heats the water in the heating tank 100 together with the heating unit provided in the heating tank 100 or maintains the water in the heating tank 100 at a high temperature while removing the honeycomb. can be used to

When there is a report requesting the removal of the beehive in the structure as described above, the fire brigade mobilizes the beehive removal device according to the present invention. The fire brigade heats the heating tank 100 by connecting the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention to a battery or generator provided in the fire fighting vehicle during the movement process. A temperature sensor (not shown) measures the temperature of water stored in the heating tank 100 , and if necessary, the heating unit 110 may be configured to turn off when the temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature. In addition, if necessary, the heating tank 100 is further provided with an overpressure prevention device (not shown) to stop both the pressurization unit 190 and the heating unit 110 when the internal pressure of the heating tank 100 exceeds a predetermined pressure. It can also be configured to do this.

Meanwhile, the heating tank 100 may further include a tank fixing device 105 for fixing the heating tank 100 to the floor. As an example of the tank fixing device 105 , a folding or unfolding leg portion is provided at the lower portion of the heating tank 100 , so that the leg portion can be spread out to stably stand on the floor or to be fixed. And when the operator carries or stores the heating tank 100, the tank fixing device 105 can be folded.

One end of the guide tube 130 is connected to the heating tank 100 and the other end is provided with an injection port 150 . The guide tube 130 may be of two types. The lower inner tube to be described later is configured to be used interchangeably.

One can be composed of a fixed tube structure that can be adjusted in length and angle. And the injection hole 150 provided at the other end of the guide tube 130 may be configured to enable angle adjustment with respect to the guide tube 130 . Various known methods may be applied for length adjustment. For example, a conventional method of connecting and extending guide tubes 130 having different diameters may be applied, or a guide tube fixture method of fixing a flexible and elongated guide tube 130 in a certain shape may be applied. The guide tube fixture may specify the length and direction of the guide tube 130 by adjusting the length of the guide tube fixture when the length of the guide tube 130 is sufficient. At this time, the guide tube 130 may be configured in a state inserted into the guide tube fixture. Since the above-described configuration or method is a known configuration or method, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Of course, if the guide tube 130 according to the present invention can adjust the position and direction of the injection hole 150 in addition to the above configuration, various known structures or methods can be applied.

The guide tube 130 and the injection hole 150 are arranged in a specific length and direction to be fixed. In the above configuration, after fixing the heating tank 100 of the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention to the floor near the honeycomb, the length and direction of the stabilizing pipe fixture and the injection hole 150 provided at the other end of the stabilizing pipe 130 ) By adjusting the angle of the injection hole 150 is fixed so as to be close to the honeycomb direction. The above method is mainly easy to apply to the beehive under the eaves or trees (see FIG. 3).

In another embodiment of the guide tube 130, the guide tube 130 is made of a flexible material, and the other end of the guide tube 130 is equipped with a rod-shaped injection hole 150 having a handle that an operator can hold. can be provided Thus, the operator can directly go near the honeycomb by attaching the heating tank 100 to the back, and direct the injection port 150 in the direction of the honeycomb to spray hot water (see FIG. 4 ). The structure as described above will be easy to apply mainly when there is a honeycomb in the ground or a small crevice. When the operator wears the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention on his back, it is preferable to wear protective equipment. And the honeycomb removal device may be provided with a backrest and suspenders.

The honeycomb removal device according to the present invention may further include a collection cap 170 surrounding the periphery of the honeycomb around the injection hole 150 (see FIG. 2 ). The collecting cap 170 may be configured in a shape of a cone-shaped cone having one side fixed to the injection hole 150 or the guide tube 130 at the lower portion of the injection hole 150 , and widening toward the other end. The other side of the collecting cap 170 is configured so that a wasp nest of a normal size can be accommodated. The collection cap 170 may be made of various materials. The collection cap 170 can be easily used when a honeycomb is built in a location such as an eaves. That is, if high-temperature water is sprayed while the honeycomb is covered using the collecting cap 170, the bees cannot easily escape, and the heat is fixed to some extent around the beehive, which is effective in removing the honeycomb. The collection cap 170 may be formed of a transparent material in whole or in part. Thus, it is possible to visually confirm whether the bees are sufficiently suppressed in the process of spraying water.

The pressurization unit 190 serves to compress the air into the heating tank 100 and push the water inside the heating tank 100 in the direction of the injection port 150 through the guide pipe 130 . The pressurization unit 190 may be provided with a manual air compression pump. The manual air compression pump has various known configurations to compress air into the heating tank 100 by being driven by hand or by stepping on it with a foot. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressurization unit 190 may be configured as a compressed air tank, and in particular, may have a structure in which a compressed air tank for firefighting is connected and applied.

As described above, the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention was developed for the purpose of being mainly used by firefighters. Almost all fire departments and firefighters carry compressed air tanks to enter the fire scene and save lives. The honeycomb removal device according to the present invention can be used as the pressurizing unit 190 by connecting the compressed air tank currently used by firefighters to the heating tank 100 as described above. The compressed air tank used by firefighters is always filled with high-pressure compressed air, and since a device such as a regulator is already provided, it is very suitable for use as the pressurization unit 190 in the present invention. And in the case of firefighters, there is an advantage that it can be used at almost no additional cost.

Looking at the operation method of the honeycomb removal device according to the present invention in the above configuration, the guide tube 130 can be selected and installed in consideration of the location and attachment form of the honeycomb by dispatching to the field for honeycomb removal. As described above, when the honeycomb is hung on the same part as the eaves, the heating tank 100 is fixed under the honeycomb, and the guide tube 130 and the injection hole 150 can be installed close to the honeycomb. In particular, it will be effective to install the injection hole 150 in the direction of the entrance to which the bees come and go.

After the honeycomb removal device is installed (or before), a compressed air tank for fire fighting may be connected to the heating tank 100 . When the pressurization unit 190 is a manual air compression pump, it may be integrally provided in the heating tank 100 . After connecting the compressed air tank, when the high-pressure air stored in the compressed air tank is applied to the heating tank 100 and the injection port 150 is opened, high-temperature water is sprayed in the honeycomb direction. Since the compressed air tank can apply compressed air far away from the heating tank 100, and if necessary, the operation of the pressurization unit 190 can be controlled remotely by wire or wireless, so after installing the device, it is safe Removal and extermination operations can be carried out from a distance.

Wasps and their hives are vulnerable to water. When a wasp gets wet, its wings become wet, so it cannot fly or its activity is significantly reduced. And wasps are vulnerable to water, just like paper, because they chew tree bark to make paper and then use it to build a house. Therefore, if water is sprayed toward the wasp hive, the wasp cannot fly or its activity decreases significantly, and the wet wasp hive becomes heavy and easily falls or breaks. In particular, since the wasp nest can be easily destroyed when high-pressure water is sprayed, a part of the water stream injected into the wasp nest can be a strong water stream.

On the other hand, wasps are vulnerable to high temperatures, so they die easily when exposed to high temperatures. Wasps are known to die at 45 degrees Celsius. In fact, using this weakness, when a bee is invaded by a wasp in the natural state, about 400 bees wrap one wasp like a ball and flap its wings vigorously, raising the surrounding temperature to about 50°C and killing it. . Wasps die at about 45°C, whereas honeybees can survive up to about 50°C.

If you spray water at about 70~80℃ to wasps, which are weak to heat, you can easily get rid of them without a separate harmful insecticide or flamethrower, which is a risk of fire. In particular, when high-temperature water is sprayed in a state where the wasp nest is wrapped around the wasp nest using the aforementioned collection cap 170 to prevent the wasps from escaping, as well as wasps flying around, as well as wasps and queen bees inside the honeycomb. can be eliminated at once. Conventionally, the method of exterminating wasps using a dragonfly is removed after reducing the number to some extent by catching wasps flying around using the dragonfly. However, this method is very difficult to work while wearing protective gear in hot weather, and the act of swinging a dragonfly stimulated the wasps to become more aggressive. there was a problem with And there was a risk of fire in the wasp hive removal method using a small flamethrower. However, by spraying high-temperature water from a distance, especially when spraying high-temperature water with the collection cap 170 around the wasp nest, it is possible to safely exterminate wasps and even the queen bee inside the hive can be completely eliminated. do.

As such, although specific embodiments have been described in the detailed description of the present invention, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and should be defined by the claims and equivalents as well as the claims to be described later.
