(Cover member and insect catching sheet)
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the cover member 3 when viewed from the inner surface side (main body housing 2 side). 4A is a perspective view of an example of the protruding portion, FIG. 4B is a perspective view of a first modified example of the protruding portion, and FIG. 4C is a second modified shape of the protruding portion. FIG. 4D is a perspective view of an example, and FIG. 4D is a cross-sectional view of an insect trapping sheet according to an example of realization of the structure of FIG. 4 (a) to 4 (c), only the structure of the back surface 31R is shown in order to briefly show the comparison of each example. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The cover member 3 has, for example, an engagement piece (not shown) that engages with an engagement hole (not shown) provided in the main body housing 2 and is detachable from the main body housing 2. . The cover member 3 is curved so as to protrude rearward, and a plurality (five in the present embodiment) of suction ports 4 are arranged in parallel on the left and right ends. In addition, the suction inlet 4 may be one.

The insect catching sheet 31 has a configuration in which, for example, an adhesive 33 is disposed on one surface of the base material sheet 32, and is engaged on the attachment plate 34 by sticking or engaging portions (not shown). The insect capturing sheet 31 may be directly attached to the cover member 3 or engaged directly by an engaging portion (not shown) without providing the attachment plate 34. The insect trap sheet 31 may be as hard as cardboard or may be softer than that. Further, an opening 204 that is a part of the opening 201 is formed in the mounting plate 34. The insect catching sheet 31 and the mounting plate 34 are black. The base sheet 32 is formed of, for example, paper or a resin film. Although the adhesive 33 is not specifically limited, For example, an acrylic adhesive can be used.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 33 may be water-soluble. Examples of the material of the water-soluble pressure-sensitive adhesive 33 include dextrin, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch and gum arabic. Thereby, the cover member 3 can be removed from the main body housing 2, and the surface of the adhesive 33 to which insects, dust, and the like are attached can be washed away with water or the like. Therefore, the exchange frequency of the insect capturing sheet 31 can be reduced.

Further, the reason why the insect trap sheet 31 and the mounting plate 34 are dark such as black is to facilitate attracting the insect to the insect trap sheet 31.

The insect trap sheet 31 is a sheet-like member having a front surface 31F and a back surface 31R. The surface 31F functions as an adhesive surface and captures insects. On the other hand, the rear surface 31 R is engaged with the attachment plate 34 (or the cover member 3 when the attachment plate 34 is not provided) by sticking or an engagement portion (not shown), and covers the opening 201.

Further, a protrusion 202 is formed on the rear surface 31R of the insect capturing sheet 31. The projecting portion 202 may be formed by processing a part of the back surface 31R (may be configured by a part of the back surface), or may be a separate member from the insect catching sheet 31 with respect to the back surface 31R. As). However, considering the fixing strength of the protrusion 202 to the insect capturing sheet 31, the protrusion 202 is more preferably formed by processing a part of the back surface 31R.

4A, it is conceivable that a U-shaped cut 214 is formed near the center of the back surface 31R, and a part of the back surface 31R is raised according to the cut 214 to form the protruding portion 202.

As a first modification of the protruding portion 202, as shown in FIG. 4B, a vertically long U-shaped cut 214A is formed near the center of the back surface 31R, and a part of the back surface 31R is formed in accordance with the cut 214A. It is conceivable that the protrusion 202A stands upright.

Further, as a second modification of the protruding portion 202, it is conceivable to apply a protruding portion 202B attached to the back surface 31R, as shown in FIG. The protruding portion 202B is made of a resin such as polypropylene, for example. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4D, the protruding portion 202 B has a T-shaped portion 215 formed at the end, and the T-shaped portion 215 is sandwiched between the base sheet 32 and the adhesive 33. Is fixed.

Also, the insect catching sheet 31 is formed with a fold 203 for encouraging the insect catching sheet 31 to bend with the surface 31F inside. Since the fold 203 is formed, the insect catching sheet 31 is easily folded with the surface 31F on the inside. Moreover, according to FIG. 3, the opening 201 and the crease 203 overlap. In this case, since the opening 201 and the bent portion of the insect catching sheet 31 overlap, the bent insect catching sheet 31 can pass through the opening 201 smoothly.

The attachment plate 34 is attached to the cover member 3 in the following manner, for example. As shown in FIG. 3, engagement holes 34 a are formed at the four corners (at least the upper two corners) of the mounting plate 34, and a pair of left and right hook-shaped engagement pieces (not shown) are formed on the inner surface of the cover member 3. ) In a protruding state, and a pair of left and right support portions 34b having a L-shape in front view having a groove (not shown) for inserting the mounting plate 34 is provided in the lower part of the inner surface of the cover member 3.

Thereby, the engagement hole 34a of the attachment plate 34 is engaged with the engagement piece of the cover member 3, and the left and right ends of the lower end portion of the attachment plate 34 are placed on the support portion 34b. 31 can be detachably attached to the cover member 3. In this case, the insect capturing sheet 31 faces the prefilter 8. When the attachment plate 34 is not provided, the base sheet 32 of the insect capturing sheet 31 is attached to the cover member 3 in the same manner as the attachment of the attachment plate 34 to the cover member 3.

In addition, the attracting light source 21 may be provided in the insect trapping space 25 (see FIG. 2). The attraction light source 21 is, for example, an ultraviolet light emitting diode that emits about 365 nm ultraviolet rays that attract insects such as mosquitoes. By providing the attracting light source 21, it is easy to attract insects such as mosquitoes to the trapping space 25.

Also, an odor generating portion 22 that generates an odorous substance that attracts insects may be provided on the inner surface (see FIG. 3) of the cover member 3. Although an odor substance is not specifically limited, For example, lactic acid can be mentioned. By providing the odor generating part 22, insects such as mosquitoes can be easily attracted to the trapping space 25. In addition, if the installation place of the odor generating part 22 is in the insect trapping space 25, it is not limited to the inner surface of the cover member 3, For example, the back surface of the main body housing 2 may be sufficient.

Alternatively, the base sheet 32 of the insect trap sheet 31 may contain an odor substance to form an odor generating part. Further, the adhesive 33 and the odorous substance may be applied on the base material sheet 32 so as to form a staggered pattern or a striped pattern to form an odor generating part. Further, the odor generating part may be formed by adding an odor substance to the adhesive 33 of the insect trap sheet 31. That is, an odor generating part may be formed by providing an odor substance on the insect trap sheet 31. Further, an odor generating part may be formed by applying an odor substance to the mounting plate 34.

(Normal operation of the air purifier)
In the above configuration, the normal operation of the air cleaner 1 will be described. When the air cleaner 1 starts operation, the operation of the blower 10 causes the intake port 4, the insect trapping space 25, the inlet 20, the prefilter 8, the HEPA filter 9, the blower passage 7, the discharge device 11, and the outlet 5 to pass through. Wind flow occurs. In this case, the pre-filter 8 removes large dust in the air. The HEPA filter 9 removes fine dust in the air containing PM2.5 and the like. The discharge device 11 gives ions to the air. Therefore, the air purified by the pre-filter 8 and the HEPA filter 9 and provided with ions by the discharge device 11 is sent from the outlet 5 into the living room.

(Air purifier action)
Next, the insect trapping operation of the air cleaner 1 will be described. Mosquitoes in the vicinity of the air purifier 1 enter the insect trapping space 25 from the suction port 4 as the air flows into the suction port 4. In this case, for example, by heating the insect catching sheet 31 to a temperature at which the mosquito is attracted by using a heater (not shown), the mosquito that has entered the catching space 25 is attracted by the heat of the insect catching sheet 31 and is captured by the insect catching sheet 31. Easily trapped.

(Insect trap sheet replacement)
From here, the point of exchanging the insect trap sheet 31 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 is a diagram showing in detail the opening 201 and the protrusion 202 and the vicinity thereof (that is, the region J in FIG. 2) of the air cleaner 1 shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the protruding portion 202 is pulled from the outside of the cover member 3 in the state illustrated in FIG. 6. FIG. 8 is a view showing a state in which the protruding portion 202 is pulled from the outside of the cover member 3 in the state shown in FIG. In each figure shown below, a black arrow indicates a direction in which the protrusion 202 is drawn.

When replacing the insect catching sheet 31, the user pulls the protruding portion 202 from the outside of the cover member 3 as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. Thereby, the insect catching sheet 31 is pulled out of the cover member 3 through the opening 201. When the base sheet 32 of the insect catching sheet 31 is engaged with the attachment plate 34 (or the cover member 3), the engagement is weakened by pulling the protrusion 202, and the insect catching sheet 31 is attached to the attachment plate 34 (or the cover member 3). ). Further, at this time, the insect catching sheet 31 is bent with the surface 31F inward at, for example, a fold 203 (see FIG. 3). Thereby, in the insect capturing sheet 31 drawn out to the outside of the cover member 3, the surface 31F itself is adhered to the surface 31F so that the user cannot see the surface 31F.

According to the air cleaner 1, when the insect catching sheet 31 is removed from the cover member 3 to replace the insect catching sheet 31, the insects captured by the insect catching sheet 31 are not visible. As a result, according to the air purifier 1, the user is not uncomfortable.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the inner wall of the opening 201 is rounded in an arc shape in a longitudinal sectional view (so-called R is formed) based on a virtual circle 205. And thereby, the edge part by the side of the insect trap sheet 31 in the inner wall of the opening 201 is rounded. Thereby, when the insect catching sheet 31 is pulled out, the insect catching sheet 31 can slide on the same end, so that the insect catching sheet 31 can be prevented from being caught on the end.

Further, as described above, the opening 201 is opened at the center of the insect capturing sheet 31. Thereby, when the insect trap sheet 31 is bent, one end of the surface 31F reaches the other end of the surface 31F. As a result, since the surface 31F itself can stick to the end portion of the surface 31F, the insects captured at the end portion of the insect catching sheet 31 can be made invisible.

(Opening shape)
In the air cleaner 1, the opening 201 has a rectangular opening shape in plan view. However, the opening according to the present invention may be formed in other opening shapes such as a circular opening shape in plan view and various polygonal opening shapes in plan view. That is, as long as the insect capturing sheet 31 can pass through the opening 201, the opening shape of the opening 201 is not limited.

In the air cleaner 1, the fold 203 is a straight fold. However, the crease according to the present invention can be applied with various shapes that encourage the insect catching sheet 31 to bend with the surface 31F inside.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a modification to FIG. In FIG. 9, the cover member 3 C has an opening 201 A that is a circular opening shape in plan view, and the insect catching sheet 31 has a fold 203 A. The fold 203A extends radially in eight directions from the portion overlapping the opening 201A. The crease 203A is not limited to extending in all directions, but may be extended in four directions diagonally to the insect catching sheet 31.

[Embodiment 2]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of an air cleaner to which the air treatment device according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied. Below, in order to simplify description, about the air cleaner 1A shown in FIG. 10, only the structure different from the air cleaner 1 shown in FIG. 1 is demonstrated.

10 differs from the air cleaner 1 shown in FIG. 1 in that a cover member 3A is provided instead of the cover member 3. The air cleaner 1A shown in FIG. The cover member 3 A is different from the cover member 3 in that, in addition to the configuration of the cover member 3, the cover member 3 A has a lid portion 206 that closes the opening 201 from the outside of the cover member 3 A. A handle 207 is formed on the lid 206. The user can easily open and close the opening 201 with the lid 206 by holding the handle 207.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a lid 208 which is a modified example of the lid 206. The lid 208 is formed with a recess 209 and a handle 210 that protrudes from the recess 209. The user can easily open and close the opening 201 with the lid 208 while holding the handle 210.

By closing the opening 201 with the lid part 206 or the lid part 208, the opening 201 and the protruding part 202 become invisible to the user, so that the design can be improved.

[Embodiment 3]
(Configuration of air purifier)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view of an air cleaner to which the air treatment device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is applied. Below, in order to simplify description, only the structure different from the air cleaner 1 shown in FIG. 1 is demonstrated about the air cleaner 1B shown in FIG.

12 is different from the air purifier 1 shown in FIG. 1 in that the air purifier 1B shown in FIG. The cover member 3B is different from the cover member 3 in the points described below.

An opening 211 is formed in the cover member 3B. The opening 211 is formed above the insect capturing sheet 31. The opening 211 is formed in a size that allows the protrusion 212 formed on the insect capturing sheet 31 in the cover member 3B to pass therethrough. Further, a protrusion 212 is formed at the upper end of the insect trap sheet 31. The protrusion 212 extends from the inside of the cover member 3B through the opening 211. For this reason, the user can grasp the protrusion 212 from the outside of the cover member 3 B at the opening 211.

In the air cleaner 1B, one end of the cover sheet 213 is fixed across the surface 31F and the surface 31F side of the protruding portion 212. Note that one end of the cover sheet 213 may be fixed to only one of the surface 31F and the surface 31F side of the protruding portion 212. Moreover, when the surface 31F and the protrusion 212 are separated, one end of the cover sheet 213 may be fixed between the surface 31F and the protrusion 212. In FIG. 12, the cover sheet 213 is provided in a roll shape wound in order from the other end of the cover sheet 213. At this time, the roll-shaped part in the cover sheet 213 may be wound around a core (not shown) and held, or if the cover sheet 213 easily stores the bent shape, it is not wound around the core. It is conceivable that it is retained. The cover sheet 213 may be a film or the like coated with a release agent that does not peel when the surface 31F of the insect repellent sheet 31 is covered. Further, it is not always necessary to apply a release agent.

(Insect trap sheet replacement)
From here, how to replace the insect catching sheet 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing in detail the opening and the projecting portion and the vicinity thereof (that is, the region K in FIG. 12) of the air cleaner shown in FIG. 12, and in the state shown in FIG. The state which pulled the protrusion part from is shown.

When replacing the insect trapping sheet 31, the user pulls the protruding portion 212 from the outside of the cover member 3B as shown in FIG. Thereby, the insect capturing sheet 31 is pulled out to the outside of the cover member 3B through the opening 211. Further, at this time, one end of the cover sheet 213 is caught by the wall of the opening 211, whereby the cover sheet 213 sticks to the surface 31 F. Thereby, in the insect trap sheet 31 pulled out to the outside of the cover member 3B, the cover sheet 213 is stuck on the surface 31F so that the surface 31F cannot be seen by the user.

According to the air cleaner 1B, when the insect catching sheet 31 is removed from the cover member 3B in order to replace the insect catching sheet 31, the insects captured by the insect catching sheet 31 cannot be seen. As a result, even the air cleaner 1B does not give the user an unpleasant feeling.

(Combination with each configuration according to Embodiments 1 and 2)
The configuration of the protruding portion 212 itself may be the same as the configuration of the protruding portion 202, the protruding portion 202A, or the protruding portion 202B (see FIG. 4) itself. Similarly to the opening 201 (see FIG. 6), the opening 211 may be rounded at the end on the insect trap sheet 31 side on the inner wall of the opening 211. Furthermore, the cover member 3B may have a lid portion (see FIGS. 10 and 11) that closes the opening 211 from the outside of the cover member 3B.
