Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an insect trap. Background Art

[0002] Generally, small flies are a general term for flies with a body length of about 2-3 mm, and fruit flies, Nomi flies, clove flies, Kaynok flies, house flies, etc. are equivalent to small flies. In the past, although small flies did not act as a medium for pathogens, they stayed on the surface of tableware, food, etc., or entered the inside of containers, or attached to plants, feces and urine, and were unpleasant to the eye.

[0003] For general households and restaurants, in order to avoid the flying of small flies and other pests, it is an important issue to drive them away to provide a sense of cleanliness. In addition, from a health perspective, it is preferred not to use insecticides as much as possible, and the expulsion of insecticides preferably adopts methods other than insecticides.

[0004] Furthermore, once a large number of small flies are produced, they are difficult to completely expel due to their large number and small bodies. In addition, small flies can enter even a tiny gap and can be produced even in a small number of gaps.

[0005] In the past, flypaper that is suspended from the ceiling or the like has been used as a method for repelling small flies and other pests. However, the flypaper has an exposed adhesive surface, and the captured small flies can be seen directly, so many people feel uncomfortable. Especially in kitchens and restaurants of ordinary families, small flies and other pests enter the field of vision, which can damage people's mood. In addition, since the flypaper is placed in a state where small flies and the like are attached to the adhesive surface, there are also problems in terms of hygiene. Furthermore, since people's clothes and hands may also come into contact, there are also problems such as discomfort for users, reduced adhesion of the adhesive surface, and decreased capture ability.

[0006] Therefore, there is known a device designed to fold the inner side of the fly paper inside the housing as an adhesive surface and place the fly paper so that a person cannot directly see small flies or the like (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0007] It is also widely known that pests such as small flies are phototactic to light, and there is a known device that attracts flies with a light source of ultraviolet rays that exhibit phototaxis and captures flies with an insect-catching film disposed inside the insect trap (for example, see Patent Document 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] As described above, conventionally, in order to repel pests such as houseflies, a method of repelling houseflies by attaching them to an adhesive sheet is widely known. It is also known that houseflies have phototaxis, that is, they are attracted to light such as ultraviolet rays.

[0031] The present invention provides an insect trap 1, which has an LED module 60 emitting ultraviolet light near the opening 7 of the insect trap 1, so that small flies and other pests attracted by ultraviolet light are efficiently guided into the shell 5, captured by the insect paper 90 arranged in the shell 5 and expelled.

[0032] The insect trap 1 of the present invention is small and can be easily placed in a kitchen or a wall in a kitchen where small flies tend to gather. By guiding small flies into the insect trap 1 and capturing them, small flies and other pests can be efficiently driven away.

[0033] Next, an insect trap 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiment described below represents a specific example of the present invention, so the configuration, function, numerical value, etc. of the components recorded in the embodiment are only examples, and the scope of the present invention is not to be interpreted as limited by these. In addition, in the present invention, the direction (plane) horizontal to the ground (floor surface) is referred to as the horizontal direction (horizontal plane), and the direction (plane) perpendicular to the ground (floor surface) is referred to as the vertical direction (vertical plane).

[0034] [Example 1]

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view showing the entire insect trap 1 of Example 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 5 is in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and has an opening 7 at the top. In the housing 5, the front housing 3 and the back housing 4, both of which are substantially rectangular parallelepiped and substantially similar in shape, are assembled in a manner of facing each other inside. The four corners of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped shapes of the front housing 3 and the back housing 4 are all formed into curved surfaces.

[0037] The front housing 3 and the back housing 4 are both formed of plate-like members formed of synthetic resin or the like, and have a generally U-shaped cross section in the horizontal direction and a generally L-shaped cross section in the vertical direction.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a plurality of ribs 21 are provided along the vertical direction on the inner side of the back side housing 4, which play a role in maintaining the structural strength of the back side housing 4. Although not explicitly shown in the figure, similar ribs are also provided on the inner side of the front side housing 3. The ribs 21 are provided not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction intersecting the vertical direction, and together with the ribs 21 in the horizontal direction, they form a grid shape as a whole.

[0039] An opening 7 of a substantially rectangular shape is formed at the upper portion of the housing 5. Inside the opening 7, two LED module mounting bases 67 for supporting both ends of the LED module 60 are provided on the inner side surface of the rear side housing 4. In addition, a substrate cover 50 is arranged adjacent to one of the LED module mounting bases 67. The substrate cover 50 covers a power supply substrate (not shown) for supplying power to the LED module 60. In addition, an insect trap 90 is arranged near the LED module 60.

[0040] Although not shown, a vertical substantially I-shaped notch is formed near the center of the front side housing 3, and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped fitting 40 is detachably mounted to the notch.

[0041] In the first embodiment, the housing 5 is in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, but may be in any appropriate shape such as a cone or a hemisphere other than a cube, a triangular prism, a truncated cone, or a cylinder.

[0042] Figure 2A 1 is a top view and a bottom view of the insect trap of Example 1, Figure 2B 1 is a left side view and a front view of the insect trap of this embodiment, Figure 2C It is a right side view and a rear view of the insect trap of this embodiment.

[0043] like Figure 2AAs shown in the top view of FIG. 1 , a plurality of guide portions 20 are arranged in a vertical direction on the inner wall of the front side plane portion 10 in the front side housing 3. The guide portion 20 is a guide for guiding the insect trapping paper 90 from the opening 7 into the housing 5 and is arranged at a predetermined location. The guide portion 20 is substantially in the shape of a triangular pyramid, and its horizontal cross section is an isosceles triangle. The base side of the isosceles triangle constituting the guide portion 20 forms a vertical surface of the triangular pyramid, and the vertical surface is arranged in a manner of being in close contact with the inner side of the front side housing 3 along the vertical direction of the inner wall of the front side plane portion 10. On the opening 7 side of the front side housing 3, the vertex of the triangular pyramid is arranged in close contact with the inner side of the front side housing 3, and the isosceles triangle as the horizontal cross section shape changes in a relatively larger manner as it moves toward the bottom surface portion of the front side. In addition, in Example 1, an example is shown in which the guide portion 20 is arranged at 4 locations on the inner side of the front side housing 3, but it is not limited to 4 locations, and it can be appropriately increased or decreased from 2 to 8 locations according to the size of the housing 5, etc.

[0044] like Figure 2B As shown in the front view and the left side view of FIG. 4 , a power switch 22 for turning on / off the LED module 60 is provided on the rear side side portion 17 of the rear side housing 4 .

[0045] like Figure 2C As shown in the rear view of the back side, on the surface of the back side plane portion 15 of the back side housing 4, approximately circular feet 25 are approximately evenly provided at four locations. When the insect trap 1 is set on the wall, the feet 25 function as a protective portion, which is used to ensure a certain gap so that the wall and the insect trap 1 are not in close contact and the setting state is stable, and the wall is not accidentally damaged. In addition, wall mounting holes (keyhole holes) 27 are provided at two locations of the feet 25 provided on the upper side (opening 7 side) of the back side plane portion 15. By hooking a hook or the like arranged on the wall through the wall mounting holes (keyhole holes) 27, the insect trap 1 can be easily arranged.

[0046] In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the shell 5 on the wall, anti-slip parts such as rubber materials can be arranged on the foot 25 of the shell 5, rubber magnets can be arranged on the setting surface such as iron plates that have the property of adsorbing magnets, and adhesive parts such as adhesive tapes can be arranged on other general setting surfaces.

[0047] Furthermore, a light color switching switch 24 for switching the light color of the LED module 60 is provided on the upper portion of the recessed portion 29 of the rear surface side flat portion 15 .

[0048] The dimensions of the housing 5 are 100 mm to 450 mm in width, preferably 200 mm to 350 mm, and more preferably about 250 mm to 300 mm. In addition, the housing 5 has a depth of 20 mm to 150 mm, preferably 30 to 100 mm, and more preferably 40 to 60 mm, and a height of 50 mm to 200 mm, preferably 80 mm to 160 mm, and more preferably about 100 mm to 140 mm.

[0049] Figure 3 yes Figure 2C An enlarged view of the area around the ○ symbol A in the rear view of FIG. As shown in the figure (A), a recessed portion 29, a horizontal cable introduction groove 30 connected to the recessed portion 29, and a vertical cable introduction groove 31 connected to the recessed portion 29 are provided in the lower right corner of the rear surface portion 15 of the rear side housing 4. An insertion port 32 is arranged in the recessed portion 29. The insertion port 32 has a power input terminal, and the connector 36 of the cable 37 is connected to the insertion port 32, so that power is input to the housing 5 from an external power source.

[0050] Figure 3 (B) is a schematic diagram showing a state where the connector 36 is connected to the insertion port 32. The cable 37 is fixed by being inserted into the horizontal cable introduction groove 30. In addition, when the cable 37 is extended in the vertical direction, the cable introduction groove 31 recessed in the vertical direction can be used to fix the cable 37 by inserting it. In addition, the cable 37 does not fly out from the cable introduction grooves 30 and 31 of the back side surface portion 15, so the cable 37 can be safely organized with good appearance.

[0051] As a standard, the insertion port 32 is provided with an insertion port 32 for a USB terminal (Type-C), but any USB terminal such as Type-A or Type-B can be used as long as it can supply a predetermined power to the housing 5. In addition, as the insertion port 32, an insertion port 32 suitable for a power plug (not shown) for a DC power supply provided by a power adapter may be provided. Furthermore, by providing an AC / DC converter device inside the housing 5, a power socket for directly inputting a commercial power supply may also be provided.

[0052] In addition, a small battery such as a lithium ion rechargeable battery or a nickel-metal hydride battery can be installed in the housing 5, so that the LED module 60 and the like can work even without being connected to an external power source, thereby further improving convenience. In addition, as a battery other than a rechargeable battery, a dry cell such as a single-cell AA alkaline dry cell can also be used.

[0053] Figure 4 (A) is a top view of an example of the LED module 60. Figure 4 (B) is a plan view of another example of the LED module 60 .

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown in (A) and (B), the LED module 60 is provided with a substrate 63, an LED 65 surface-mounted on the substrate 63, and threaded holes 64 near both ends of the roughly rectangular LED module 60 for screws (not shown) for fixing to an LED module mounting base 67 to pass through.

[0055] exist Figure 4 (A) shows an LED module 60 in which three LEDs 65 are arranged in a row along the long side direction on the surface of a substrate 63. The LEDs 65 are arranged in order from the left side of the figure: a white LED (W-LED) 65w that emits white light, an ultraviolet light-emitting LED (UV-LED) 65uv that emits ultraviolet light, and a white LED (W-LED) 65w that emits white light. Figure 4 In (B), UV-LED 65uv, W-LED 65w, W-LED 65w, and UV-LED 65uv are arranged in order from the left along the longitudinal direction on the surface of substrate 63. By combining W-LED 65w and UV-LED 65uv, it is possible to efficiently collect phototactic pests.

[0056] Here, an example is shown in which three or four LEDs 65 are arranged in a row in a straight line along the longitudinal direction on the surface of the substrate 63, but Figure 1 , Figure 2A Six LEDs 65 are installed in a straight line, and the number of LEDs 65 can be more than one. In addition, the arrangement of LEDs 65 can be arranged in multiple rows, or in a combination of multiple rows and a single row, in addition to being arranged in a straight line as in Example 1.

[0057] In addition, the number of white LEDs (W-LEDs) 65w and ultraviolet LEDs (UV-LEDs) 65uv installed and their arrangement can also be as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (A), a UV-LED 65uv is arranged between two W-LEDs 65w, or as Figure 4 As shown in (B), a plurality of W-LEDs 65w are arranged near the center of the substrate 63, and UV-LEDs 65 are arranged on the outside thereof. In addition, a plurality of W-LEDs 65w and UV-LEDs 65uv may be arranged alternately, or the number of installed W-LEDs 65w and UV-LEDs 65uv may be increased or decreased.

[0058] UV-LED65uv preferably emits ultraviolet light in the near ultraviolet region such as 365nm, but may also emit ultraviolet light in other wavelength regions such as UV-B of 280-315nm and UV-A of 315-400nm.

[0059] In addition, since the types of insects that can be captured are different due to the switching of light colors, the light colors can be switched according to the types of insects. For example, instead of W-LED65w, a blue LED (B) that emits blue, a red LED (R) that emits red, a green LED (G) that emits green, and other visible light color-rendering LEDs that emit various colors of light can be used, or visible light color-rendering LEDs of various colors can be mixed. The switching of these light colors is performed by operating the light color switching switch 24 provided above the recess 29 of the back side plane portion 15. In addition, as needed, the visible light emitting LED and the UV-LED65uv are lit at the same time, or the visible light emitting LED is lit and the UV-LED65uv is turned off, or the visible light emitting LED is turned off and the UV-LED65uv is lit, etc., and the switching is performed by operating the light color switching switch 24.

[0060] Furthermore, an indicator or the like that displays the lighting state of the LED module 60 in a manner that lights up when the LED module 60 is on and turns off when the LED module 60 is off may be provided on the housing 5. In addition, an overheating prevention device that turns off the power supply when the LED module 60 is overheated may be built in. In addition to the white LED, an appropriate LED such as a blue LED or a red LED may be used as the indicator.

[0061] The surface of the substrate 63 on which the LED 65 is mounted is formed with a reflective surface, which is composed of a white resist layer coated with a white resist ink that highly reflects ultraviolet rays, so that the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LED 65 such as UV-LED 65uv and W-LED 65w are efficiently irradiated to the surface side of the substrate 63. In addition to the above, the reflective surface can also be formed by a material that efficiently reflects ultraviolet rays, such as pasting and coating of aluminum materials.

[0062] In addition, in addition to the LED module 60, the upper surface of the substrate cover 50, the portion of the shell 5 irradiated by light from the LED module 60, etc. are preferably formed with a white anti-corrosion layer with high ultraviolet reflection and a reflective surface composed of a coating of aluminum material, similar to the surface side of the substrate 63.

[0063] Figure 5 1 and 2 are a top view, a front view, a side view, and a bottom view of the accessory 40 in the first embodiment.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown in the front view, the accessory 40 is a rectangular shape with a substantially rectangular cross section, and has a claw 42 near the upper portion. As shown in the top view and the bottom view, the accessory 40 has a substantially rectangular cross section. As shown in the side view, the claw 42 is in a clip shape inclined toward the front surface. By inserting the insect catching paper 90 into the clip-shaped portion, the insect catching paper 90 is held by the claw 42.

[0065] Figure 6 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing the steps of attaching the insect trapping paper 90 to the attachment 40 in the first embodiment. Figure 6 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a state where the insect trapping paper 90 is attached to the attachment 40 in the first embodiment.

[0066] The insect trapping paper 90 is a substantially quadrilateral sheet material, and a fold is pre-formed in the central part along the vertical direction. The surface of the insect trapping paper 90 is an adhesive surface for catching small flies and other pests, and the back surface is a normal sheet material without adhesiveness.

[0067] In order to set the insect trap paper 90 on the housing 5, first, it is necessary to set the insect trap paper 90 on the accessory 40 removed from the housing 5. As the initial preparation, first, as Figure 6 As shown in (B), the center portion of the insect trapping paper 90 is folded vertically into a V shape. Figure 6 As shown in (A), while holding the attachment 40, the center portion of the insect trapping paper 90 is inserted into the gap between the clip-shaped portions of the claws 42 of the attachment 40 from obliquely below. By performing this step, the insect trapping paper 90 is held by the attachment 40.

[0068] Then, if Figure 2A As shown, the lower corners of the side surfaces of the insect-catching paper 90 are respectively inserted into the slits of the pair of insect-catching paper insertion guides 19 disposed on the inner surface of the front side side portion 12 of the front side housing 3. Next, when the accessory 40 is inserted into the slit (not shown) of the front side side portion 12, the insect-catching paper 90 is guided into the housing 5 along the guide 20. By completely inserting the accessory 40 into the front side housing 3, the insect-catching paper 90 is set in the housing 5. In addition, when a release paper is attached to the surface of the adhesive surface of the insect-catching paper 90, the setting of the insect-catching paper 90 is completed by peeling off the release paper.

[0069] When the insect trap 1 is operated to complete the insect trapping, the reverse operation of installing the insect trap paper 90 is performed. After the accessory 40 is slightly lifted upward, the insect trap paper is removed from the front housing 3 in a folded state by pulling it toward the front side. When the adhesive surface of the front side of the insect trap paper 90 is folded inward, it can be discarded in a manner that the small flies and other pests caught by the insect trap paper 90 are not visible, so there is no discomfort and the insect trap paper 90 can be cleanly disposed of.

[0070] [Example 2]

[0071] Figure 7 This is a schematic three-dimensional diagram of the insect trap of Example 2.

[0072] like Figure 7As shown, the housing 105 is in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as in the first embodiment, and has an opening 107 on the upper surface. In the housing 105, the front housing 103 and the back housing 104, both of which are substantially rectangular parallelepiped and substantially similar in shape, are assembled in a form where the inner sides are matched. The front housing 103 and the back housing 104 are both substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and the corners of the four corners are formed into curved surfaces.

[0073] The front housing 103 and the back housing 104 are both formed of a plate-like member formed of synthetic resin or the like, and have a generally U-shaped cross-sectional shape in the horizontal direction and a generally L-shaped cross-sectional shape in the vertical direction.

[0074] The insect trap 101 in Example 2 is basically of the same shape as the shell 5 in Example 1, but has the feature of not using the accessory 40 and having a cover 130 on the side of the shell 105 for taking out and inserting the insect catching paper 90. The other structures are roughly the same as those in Example 1.

[0075] The cover 130 has a notch 132 at the top. The notch 132 is a groove for hooking fingers or the like when the cover 130 is opened.

[0076] Figure 8 (A) is a top view of the insect trap of Example 2, (B) is a front view thereof, (C) is a bottom view thereof, and (D) is a right side view thereof.

[0077] like Figure 8 As shown in the right side view of (D), a cover portion 130 and a hinge portion 140 for opening and closing the cover portion 130 are provided on the side surface between the front side housing 103 and the back side housing 104 .

[0078] Fig. 9 This is a schematic perspective view showing a state where a cover portion 130 provided on a side surface of a housing 105 in the second embodiment is opened.

[0079] like Fig. 9 As shown in the figures, the cover 130 is freely opened and closed by a hinge 140 provided on the bottom surface of the housing 105. In addition, the cover 130 is configured to stop in a state where the housing 105 is closed and in a state where the cover 130 is fully opened. In addition, a spring may be provided on the hinge 140 so that the spring always applies force in the direction of closing the cover 130.

[0080] Inside the cover 130, a pair of guides 145 for guiding the insect trapping paper 90 when inserted are provided near the cover 130 of the front case 103 and the back case 104. The pair of guides 145 hold the insect trapping paper 90 folded into a V shape between the guides 145.

[0081] Fig.10 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an initial state in which the insect trapping paper 90 is attached to the guide 145 of the second embodiment. Fig.10 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a state where the insect trapping paper 90 is attached to the guide 145 of this embodiment. Fig.10 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a state where the insect trapping paper 90 is attached to the guide 145 of this embodiment.

[0082] Fig.10 In order to easily explain the method of installing the insect-catching paper 90 on the guide member 145, the cover 130 is removed. However, in actual operation, the cover 130 is not removed, and the user replaces the insect-catching paper 90 by lifting the shell 105 with one hand, thereby making it easy to install and replace the insect-catching paper 90.

[0083] like Fig.10 As shown in (A), the insect trapping paper 90 folded into a V-shape in advance is inserted into the inner side of the cover 130 of the housing 105 from the cover 130 side. Fig.10 As shown in (B), the insect trapping paper 90 is inserted between a pair of guide members 145 and Fig.10 (C) is shown to fix it, thereby completing the installation of the insect trapping paper 90.

[0084] After the insects are caught, the insect trapping paper 90 can be removed by performing the reverse operation of the installation procedure of the insect trapping paper 90. The cover 130 is opened, and the adhesive portion of the front side of the insect trapping paper 90 is folded inward. After the pests caught by the insect trapping paper 90 are no longer visible, the insect trapping paper 90 is removed from the housing 105 and discarded. By these operations, the insect trapping paper 90 can be cleanly handled without any discomfort.

[0085] As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated with reference to an Example, this invention is not limited to the said Example. Those skilled in the art can make various changes to the structure and detail of this invention within the scope of this invention.

[0086] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Japanese patent application No. 2022-143859, filed on September 9, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.

[0087] [Industrial Application Possibility]

[0088] According to the present invention, by using a small and easy-to-handle insect trap that attracts and captures pests such as small flies by irradiating ultraviolet rays or the like, it is possible to effectively capture pests such as small flies and maintain a sanitary environment.
