Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a device that prevents small autonomously moving creatures that move on the ground or through walls from entering a room by placing rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars around openings such as windows and doors, ventilation fans, and other routes through which the creatures could enter. [Background technology]

[0002] Existing residential environments have few devices or provisions to prevent small creatures from entering through openings or ventilation fans, and most measures are taken after the infestation has occurred.

[0003] To this day, there has been little development in pest control measures, and pest damage is a serious hygiene problem not only in homes but also in places where food is handled, such as restaurants.

[0004] When insecticides are used to kill insects that have invaded indoors as a common pest control measure, there is a problem in that they can have adverse effects on the health of not only humans but also pets. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] This will improve the problem of small, autonomous creatures moving along walls and the ground invading indoor spaces.

[0007] Strengthen pest control measures in private homes and the food industry and improve hygiene issues.

[0008] Reducing indoor insect infestation also reduces the use of pesticides. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The invention of claim 1 targets small autonomous mobile organisms such as insects that move along walls or the ground, as autonomous mobile organisms are not good at climbing rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars made of materials with low surface roughness. This invention is aimed at small autonomous mobile organisms such as insects that move along walls or the ground, and involves installing rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars that are difficult for the organisms to climb around and connecting them to openings such as windows, doors, and ventilation openings that are entry routes for the organisms, or by installing windows, doors, and ventilation openings that are integrated with and surrounded by rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars, thereby creating a structure that makes it impossible for the organisms to enter a room without climbing over and passing through the rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars, thereby preventing the organisms from entering. (Selected Figures) Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 10

[0010] The invention of claim 2 prevents the invasion of small autonomously mobile organisms by installing and connecting rounded rod-like objects such as the cylindrical pillar of claim 1 so as to surround a ventilation fan, which is an entry route for small autonomously mobile organisms, or by installing a ventilation fan surrounded by rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars, thereby creating a structure that makes it impossible for organisms to enter a room without climbing over and passing through rounded rod-like objects such as cylindrical pillars.

[0011] The invention of claim 3 involves placing a rounded rod-shaped object such as the cylindrical pillar of claim 1 in a ring shape that matches the shape of the drain around the drain, or by installing a drain equipped with a ring-shaped autonomous mobile small organism intrusion prevention device, thereby creating a structure that makes it impossible for an organism to enter the room without climbing over and passing through the rounded rod-shaped object such as the cylindrical pillar, thereby preventing autonomous mobile small organisms from invading through the drain. (Selection diagram) Figure 7

[0012] The invention of claim 4 is a structure in which, when the entry route for small autonomously mobile organisms is limited to only one side of a window or door, a rounded rod-like object such as a cylindrical pillar is installed on that side, creating a structure in which small autonomously mobile organisms cannot enter the room unless they climb over and pass through the rounded rod-like object such as a cylindrical pillar, thereby preventing small autonomously mobile organisms from entering through the drain. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] Small, autonomously mobile organisms such as insects vary in body size and joint bending angle, but they have difficulty getting their legs on smooth, rounded rods that are larger than their bodies, and have difficulty climbing rounded rods like cylindrical pillars. Therefore, by installing rounded rods like cylindrical pillars around windows and doors, which are their entry points, a structure is created in which small, autonomously mobile organisms cannot enter a room without climbing over and passing through rounded rods like cylindrical pillars, preventing the intrusion of small, autonomously mobile organisms. As a result, the problem of small, autonomously mobile organisms entering rooms has been improved, and it has become possible to reduce the use of insecticides indoors. Furthermore, by strengthening pest control measures in ordinary households and the food industry, it will contribute to improved hygiene. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The embodiments shown below are examples of devices and methods for embodying the technical ideas of the invention, and are not limited to those described below and may be modified in various ways. In particular, the drawings are schematic and may differ from the actual product.

[0016] In Example 1, a cylindrical pillar with a diameter of 80 mm, which is twice the average length of the black cockroach (40 mm), was used. As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, a window frame with a height of 2000 mm and a width of 1900 mm was used. The pillars were made of stainless steel with an Ra value of 0.1 μm. The pillars were connected to each other: a cylindrical pillar a (1) with a diameter of 80 mm, a length of 2060 mm, and a recessed portion at the connection; a cylindrical pillar b (2) with a diameter of 80 mm, a length of 2080 mm, and a protruding portion at the connection; a cylindrical pillar c (3) with a diameter of 80 mm, a length of 2060 mm, and a recessed portion at the connection; and a cylindrical pillar d (4) with a diameter of 80 mm, a length of 2080 mm, and a protruding portion at the connection. The resulting device A (5) was then attached to the wall or window frame with screws (10), forming a structure that required the autonomously mobile small creature to climb over and pass through the device A (5). (Selected Figures) Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 4

[0017] Example 2 targets black cockroaches, which are small, autonomously mobile creatures. The plate (8) is made of stainless steel with an Ra value of 0.1 μm, and consists of half a sphere with a diameter of 80 mm, which is twice the average total length of the cockroach (40 mm), arranged in a row on a 5 mm thick rod-shaped plate. Four of these plates are used to prevent the small, autonomously mobile creatures from entering a room, replacing the cylindrical pillars a (1), b (2), c (3), and d (4) in Example 1. Furthermore, although there are individual differences among small autonomous mobile organisms in terms of body size and the bending angle of their joints, it is difficult for them to get their legs on a smooth, rounded rod-like object that is larger than the body of the autonomous mobile small organism, making it difficult for them to climb up. Therefore, by utilizing a rounded rod-like object such as a plate with a row of hemispheres (8) or cylindrical pillars f (7) of different sizes lined up in two rows on top of cylindrical pillar e (6), it becomes more difficult for small autonomous mobile organisms of all sizes to climb up the present invention, preventing them from entering the room. (Selected figures) Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 10

[0018] In Example 3, an autonomously mobile small organism intrusion prevention device A (5) having the same structure as Example 1 but with a modified length to surround small entrances and exits such as ventilation fans and air vents, which are entry routes for autonomously mobile small organisms, is installed to prevent intrusion through routes other than windows. (Selection diagram) Figure 1

[0019] Example 4 is an application of Example 1, and in order to accommodate circular entrances and exits such as drains, which are entry routes for autonomously mobile small organisms, rather than square ones like window frames, a cylindrical pillar is made of stainless steel with an Ra value of 0.1 μm, and an autonomously mobile small organism intrusion prevention device B (9) processed into a ring shape is installed around the drain, or by providing a device with this structure in the drain itself, autonomously mobile small organisms are prevented from entering through the drain. (Selection diagram) Figure 7

[0020] In Example 5, by stacking multiple autonomously mobile small creature intrusion prevention devices A(5) of Example 1, it becomes more difficult for autonomously mobile small creatures to climb on top of the autonomously mobile small creature intrusion prevention devices A(5), thereby increasing the intrusion prevention effect.
