Catching device and catching method

The invention relates to a catching device and a method, in particular to a catching device and a catching method for catching flying animals.

Because mosquitoes have phototaxis, all traps use light to attract mosquitoes to close, and then use electric shock to kill mosquitoes. However, the harsh sound generated by electric shock can cause people to be intimidated, and whether it is electric shock or light, it will interfere with sleep, especially the harmful ultraviolet light, so that the aforementioned catcher is not suitable for placement. The place where the human body sleeps. What is important is that, regardless of whether the aforementioned catcher is placed away from the human body or close to the human body, in the case where the human body temperature or odor is more attractive to the mosquito than the light, it is impossible to avoid the mosquito being subjected to the body temperature. Or the smell is attracted and bitten, so that the catching effect is not good.

For example, the insect trap 1 of the Republic of China Patent No. M247009 mainly includes a light source 11 and a transparent adhesive layer 12 surrounding the light source 11 and having a viscosity. Thereby, the phototaxis of the mosquito is utilized to make the mosquito adhere to the adhesive gel layer 12, and the catching effect is achieved without disturbing sound.

Although it is glued, it will not produce sound. However, because there is still a light source 11, it will still interfere with sleep, and it will also be more attractive to mosquitoes because of body temperature or odor. In the case of biting, there are also disadvantages of poor catching effect.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a catching device and a catching method capable of improving the catching effect.

Therefore, the catching device of the present invention protects the animal body by capturing at least one flying animal that is attracted by at least one animal body, and the catching device comprises: a mesh body.

The net body has a catching surface facing the airflow, and a plurality of meshes running through the catching surface for airflow, so that the flying animal is caught by the airflow to the catching surface.

The catching method of the present invention, with a gas flow generator capable of generating an air flow, and a catching device as a tool for catching at least one flying animal attracted by at least one animal body, and protecting the animal body, the catching The method comprises the steps of: (a) the airflow generator generating a flowing airflow for causing the flying animal to follow a direction of airflow; and (b) the catching device being located in a path of the airflow, wherein the airflow is allowed to pass, Capture the aforementioned flying animals.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, a first preferred embodiment of the grasping device of the present invention is applicable to an environment with airflow, and includes an airflow generator 2, a mesh body 3, and a positioning component 4. And an adjustment group 5.

The airflow generator 2 has a body 21, a blade set 22 mounted in the body 21, and a motor pack 23 that drives the blade set 22 to generate airflow. The body 21 has an air inlet region 211 and an air outlet region 212 formed on two sides and guiding the airflow in and out in a horizontal direction X direction, and the diameter of the blade group 22 of the airflow generator 2 is preferably greater than 12 cm. .

The net body 3 covers at least the outlet area 212 and has a front section 31. The front section 31 has a catching surface 311 facing the airflow, a plurality of meshes 312 extending through the catching surface 311 for airflow, and an opening side 313 formed at one end edge. The maximum aperture of the mesh 312 in the shortest side direction is less than 0.5 mm to 3 mm from the flying animal. In practice, the aperture of the mesh 312 can determine the size of the mesh 312 according to the captured flying animal. Taking the mosquitoes in Taiwan as an example, the preferred maximum aperture of the mesh 312 is 1.6 mm.

The positioning member 4 is formed on the opening side 313 of the front section 31 of the net body 3, and is fixed on the body 21 of the airflow generator 2 by using the body 21 as a carrier to obtain the positioning of the net body 3. In the preferred embodiment, the positioning member 4 is an elastic band. In addition to the elastic elasticity, the positioning member 4 can also be pulled out from the opening side 313 by a pullable design to have a binding function. Those skilled in the art can deduce other components that can be positioned according to the above description, and therefore, are not limited thereto.

The adjustment group 5 has the ability to adjust the size of the capture surface 311 A first combining unit 51 and a plurality of second combining units 52 are coupled to each other. In the preferred embodiment, the first bonding unit 51 has a plurality of male fasteners 511. The second coupling unit 52 has a plurality of female fastening members 521 . The male fastening members 511 and the female fastening members 521 are respectively disposed around the mesh body 3 and are linearly arranged in the center direction from the opening side 313. Thereby, the folded net body 3 is fixed by the male fastening member 511 and the female fastening member 521 that are engaged with each other, and the area of the catching surface 311 is reduced. It should be noted that the first combining unit and the second combining unit may also be zippers, or other structures having the function of reducing the area of the catching surface 311, thereby increasing the wind flow rate and increasing the storage capacity of the captured flying animals due to Other elements in the art can be inferred from the above description, and therefore, are not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the following is a description of the capture method of the present invention in combination with the steps of the embodiment as follows: Step 61: The airflow generator 2, together with the capture device of the present invention, is disposed adjacent to the animal body (eg, human body, pet, The animal is about 0 to 3 meters. Preferably, the airflow direction of the airflow generator 2 is directed away from the position of the animal body, and the animal is exposed to body temperature or smell due to the need of flying animals. Sequentially approaching, the airflow generated by the airflow generator 2 in the direction of the wind is approached during the approach. The aforementioned flying animals may be mosquitoes, flying worms, flies or other flying animals that may bite or want to approach the animal body. The preferred embodiment uses mosquitoes as an example.

Step 62: The airflow generator 2 generates an air flow by the blade motor group 22, and forms an airflow that enters and exits the body 21 from the air inlet zone 211 and the air outlet zone 212 in the horizontal direction X.

Step 63: The catching device catches the flying animal with the net body 3. Because the flying animals are light in weight and do not have strong flying ability, they all have the advantage of flying in the wind to save physical strength. Therefore, after being lured by the animal body, they will fly in the process of flying close to the animal while entering the wind. In the airflow generated by the airflow generator 2, the flight path is changed and flies into the airflow, and the airflow is directed toward the mesh body 3, especially the flying animal that wants to suck the blood, and it is particularly easy to fly in the wind because of the light weight. By being lured by the animal body and entering the airflow, the flying animal can be brought to the net body 3 with the airflow and blocked by the catching surface 311 in the case where the animal body is used as the attracting source without the light source. Achieve the effect of catching.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, when there is no animal body as the attracting source, a bait with a special odor can be set as a attracting source near the position of the airflow generator 2, and the bait can be a pig containing stearic acid. The oil or lanolin causes the flying animal to be carried to the net body 3 with the airflow and is blocked by the catching surface 311, and the airflow generated by the airflow generator 2 dries the flying animal to death, thereby achieving the catching effect.

Referring to Figure 6, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially identical to the first preferred embodiment and is also mounted to an airflow generator. However, the aforementioned airflow generator is a commercially available fan 7. The fan 7 has a blade set 70, a motor set 71 for driving the blade set 70, and a body 72 that surrounds the blade set 70 and the motor set 71 and is hollowed out. The body 72 has an air inlet region 721 and an air outlet region 722 formed on one side and the other side for airflow in and out. The second preferred embodiment also includes a mesh body 3, a positioning member 4, and an adjustment group 5, wherein the opening side 313 of the front portion 31 of the mesh body 3 faces the air outlet region 722. The wind inlet region 721 extends in a direction, and the diameter d of the opening side 313 is bounded by the maximum diameter of the blade group 70 - 1 / 5 maximum diameter - the maximum diameter of the blade set 70 + 1 / 5 maximum diameter and width, and the blade center is equal to the diameter d of the center of the best to set the maximum diameter of the blade 70 as an example of width = l, then, l - (1/5) l <diameter d <l - (1/5) l . Thereby, the flying animal is prevented from escaping from the side of the blade group 70 without airflow, and the mesh area 312 of the net body 3 of the blade set 70 is required to have a larger windward area than the windward area occupied by the net body 3 by more than 1.5 times. Avoiding the turbulence in the area adjacent to the mesh 312 causes localized airflow to not flow into the aperture, causing the flying animal to follow the airflow of the localized area without entering the mesh 312.

In the preferred embodiment, the positioning member 4 is an elastic band that is not tied. It should be noted that since the positioning member 4 is provided on the opening side 313, the diameter d is the diameter of the positioning member 4. Of course, if the positioning member 4 is not provided, the diameter d of the opening side 313 is taken as the standard.

In use, the mesh body 3 can be attached to the body 72 by simply circling the positioning member 4 to the body 72 of the fan 7. Thereby, the flying animal can also fly into the airflow during the flight close to the animal body, so that the flying animal is brought along the airflow to the front section 31 of the net body 3, and the catching effect is achieved.

Referring to FIG. 7 , it should be noted that the male fastening component 511 can be engaged with the female fastening component 521 at the opposite position after the folding of the mesh body 3 to reduce the area of the capturing surface 311 of the mesh body 3 . Thereby, the size of the catching surface 311 of the net body 3 can be arbitrarily adjusted, and the fan 7 of different sizes on the market can be applied. .

Referring to FIG. 8, a third preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the second preferred embodiment, except that the mesh body 3 has a region adjacent to the front segment 31 and is covered by the second preferred embodiment. A rear section 32 of the air inlet zone 721. The rear section 32 covers the air inlet area 721 and has a plurality of holes 321 that guide the airflow into and the largest aperture along the shortest side is larger than the mesh 312 and smaller than the sectional area of the finger of the child. Thereby, the hole 321 can prevent the child from reaching into the body 72.

Since the aperture of the hole 321 of the rear section 32 is larger than the aperture of the mesh 31 of the front section 31, the smooth guiding airflow and the flying animal can be along the air inlet area 721 without affecting the airflow and the entry of the flying animal. The body 72 enters the horizontal direction X direction. Thereby, the flying animal can also fly into the airflow during the flight close to the animal body, so that the flying animal is brought along the airflow to the front section 33 of the net body 3, and the catching effect is achieved.

Referring to FIG. 9, a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment. The difference is that the capturing device further includes an electronic control group 8, and the mesh body 3 is electrically conductive. Material, and the mesh can be composed of a plurality of elongated columns or a mesh.

It should be noted that the outer side of the net body 3 may be provided with an insulating layer or an electric shock preventing layer to prevent accidental contact by children or users.

The electronic control group 8 is electrically connected to the network body 3 and has a controller 81 for supplying power required by the network body 3. The controller 81 has a set button 811 that switches between a first state position and a second state position. In the first state position, the setting button 811 sets the power source to remain on, In the second state position, the setting button 811 sets a predetermined number of flying animals to be shocked, so that the flying animal is turned off or corona, then the power is turned off, thereby automatically turning off the airflow generator 2 during sleep, saving Energy and avoid opening the airflow generator 2 for too long in the winter. After corona, the flying animals can also be collected in a container (such as the body 21) for capturing purposes. This embodiment can also be used at the door. The air inlet area of the airflow generator is arranged on the peripheral side of the door, and when the door is opened, the airflow generator is used to electrically kill the mosquito that originally intended to enter the house along the airflow.

Since the net body 3 can electrically or coronaly fly the animal, the net body 3 is disposed in the air outlet area 212 of the airflow generator 2 in the preferred embodiment, but is not limited thereto. It can be placed in the wind inlet zone 211, whereby the flying animal can also be electrocuted or coronaed along the airflow as the flying animal enters the airflow.

Referring to FIG. 10, it is a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is substantially the same as the fourth preferred embodiment, except that the catching device of the present invention is suitable for use in an environment with airflow. The body 3 can also be attached to a carrier 9 and disposed in a natural environment to greet the airflow in a non-vertical direction, thereby also enabling the flying animal to be brought to the net body 3 by the airflow induced by the animal body, and then reused. The electric shock hits the commandment and reaches the effect of catching.

In summary, the catching device and the catching method of the present invention have the following advantages and effects:

1. The present invention mainly utilizes the need of flying animals to suck the animal body, and lures the flying animal in the process of approaching the animal body, and is accompanied by the airflow.
