Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rainproof container for storing and volatilizing a volatile agent that volatilizes a volatile insect repellent active ingredient. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, the most common method of preventing insects in vegetable cultivation has been to spray pesticides directly onto the vegetables. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Application 2020-000603 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2000-224920 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] An object of the present invention is to prevent direct spraying of pesticides for insect control in vegetable cultivation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.

[0006] Claim 1 of the present invention A container that can store a volatile insecticide that volatilizes an insect repellent and release the volatile insecticide to the outside, The container is made of resin or metal that can prevent rainwater from penetrating, An upper opening for storing the chemical volatilizer in the container is provided at the upper end of the container, and a removable upper cap is provided to cover and close the upper opening from above to prevent rainwater from entering, Furthermore, the lower side of the container is funnel-shaped downward on the vertical center line of the container, which generates an air suction action caused by the natural air flow of an inverted cone, and a lower opening is provided at the lower tip so that the volatile chemicals in the container can be sucked out by the suction force of the natural air and released to the outside, Furthermore, a part of the tip end of a thin gardening pole can be inserted through the lower opening and stored in the container, The rainproof insect-proof container is characterized in that the opening diameter of the lower opening is large enough to allow the volatile chemical to be released from the lower opening even when a part of the tip end of the gardening pole is stored inside.

[0007] This is a container structure and installation method that can effectively release volatile pesticides at the optimal position in a vegetable garden without a roof or eaves as an insect control measure when growing vegetables. The container for storing and releasing the volatile agent is a rainproof and insect-proof container, In order to prevent water from accumulating in the rainproof insect-proof container, the outlet for discharging the volatile agent into the air is formed as a downward-facing lower opening, and the part constituting the lower opening is formed into a funnel shape, By directing and changing the air flow coming from the side in the volatile drug section downward, the air near the downward-facing lower opening is also drawn in, creating a suction effect to fill the air gap that is created, thereby promoting the release of the volatile drug along with the air inside the container to the outside.

[0008] The diameter of the lower opening is about 20 mm, and the diameter is set to be such that the gardening pole, which is a thin rod having a diameter of several millimeters to several tens of millimeters that is several millimeters thinner than the 20 mm diameter, can be accommodated. The volatile chemical can be released from the gap between the stored support and the lower opening, The rainproof insect-proof container containing the chemical volatilizer is placed on the top end of the gardening pole that has been driven into the ground of the vegetable garden, and inserted and stored. The rainproof insect-proof container is fixed in a floating position in the air at the upper end of the support, The volatile components of the insect repellent are dispersed in the optimal location for insect control, which is particularly effective for tall vegetables. Furthermore, the downward inverted cone-shaped lower opening prevents rainwater from entering and allows water such as condensation water inside the container to drain naturally, making the container a rainproof and drainable insect-proof container, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the volatile insect-repellent active ingredient.

[0009] Furthermore, the cap that is placed on the container can be screwed at the maximum diameter portion of the side surface of the container, making it easy to store the drug volatilizer; The bell-shaped design is made by expanding the top and stretching it out three-dimensionally. It is also possible to store large-sized pesticide volatilizers individually processed into donut shapes, etc. A hook may be provided at the upper end of the cap so that it can be hung on a string or net above.

[0010] Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a removable lower opening plug 44 and an air vent plug 26 that can close the lower opening 31 and the upper air suction port depending on the usage situation, thereby sealing and storing the rainproof insect-proof container 10.

[0011] This allows the rainproof insect-repellent container 10 to be sealed during periods when insect control measures are not necessary, thereby preserving the volatile insect-repellent active ingredient. In the present invention, the lower cap is stored in the rainproof insect-proof container 10 during the period of use as an insect repellent measure, so that it can be prevented from being lost. In addition, the ventilation hole 25 provided in the hook part 24 at the top of the rainproof insect-proof container 10 can also be blocked by inserting the locking ring 29 and the ventilation hole blocking plug 26 provided at the tip of the ventilation hole blocking belt 27 into the ventilation hole 25 at the tip of the hook part 24. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The effect of the present invention is to provide an insect control device that can suppress the direct spraying of chemicals onto vegetables as an insect control measure and can effectively volatilize volatile chemicals by being installed at a position that matches the height of the leaves and fruits.

[Figure 6] 5, the inside is visualized and the drug volatilizer 50 is stored therein, but the upper and lower openings are sealed with the lower opening plug 44 and the air hole plug 26, showing the sealed state. [Figure 7] 1 is an image showing the state in which the tip of a gardening pole 60 that has been stuck into the ground next to vegetables in a vegetable garden is covered with a rainproof insect-proof container 10 of the present invention, which is then stored and installed in the air. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The rainproof and insect-proof container of the present invention is Without spraying chemicals directly onto vegetables, As shown in the image in Figure 7, it is designed to provide long-term insect control with simple installation work. [Example]

[0015] Figure 1 shows FIG. 1 is a front view showing the entirety of a rainproof insect-proof container 10; A hook portion 24 is provided at the top on the vertical center line, extending upward in an elongated manner, and below the hook portion 24 are shown a downward-arrow-shaped air vent plug 26, an air vent plug retaining belt 27, and a retaining ring 29. On the lower side, an inverted bowl-shaped upper cap 20, which connects the hook portion 24 and the air vent plug retaining belt 27 with the ring of the retaining ring 29, and a cap-side screw groove forming portion 22 which forms the circumferential periphery of the lower part of the upper cap 20, are shown as a horizontally long rectangle on the side of the circle. The cap-side thread groove forming portion 22 has an inner surface provided with a spiral groove of a screw, The container portion 30, which is screwed on the inside of the cap side thread groove configuration portion 22 by the spiral groove of the cap side thread groove configuration portion 22, is shown in a funnel shape, The bottom of the container part 30 has the side of the circular circumference of the bottom opening 31, which is represented by a small horizontally elongated rectangle, and the top cap 20 and the bottom container part 30 are made of thin resin and are joined together by the above-mentioned screw fastening to form a container with an integrated spatial configuration.

[0016] Figure 2 shows In the plan view of FIG. 1, the upper end of the hook portion 24 is shown in the center, and a part of the locking ring 29 fitted to the lower part of the hook portion 24 is shown. The vent hole plug retaining belt 27 and the vent hole plug 26, which are integrally connected to the retaining ring 29, are exposed below the hook portion 24, The double-lined circle around the periphery represents the upper cap 20, and the outer line is the cap-side thread groove configuration 22. Figure 3 shows This is a diagram of the rainproof and insect-proof container of FIG. 1 with the upper cap 20 and the container part 30 removed from the top and bottom. The helical thread groove of the container part side screw groove 33 is shown at the upper end of the container part 30 on the lower side.

[0017] Figure 4 shows The side view in Figure 3 shows the inside of the device. The inner dashed line represents the thickness of the resin outer shell. The interior space has been enlarged and the weight has been reduced. The hook portion 24 at the upper end of the upper cap 20 is claw-shaped, and an air vent 25 is provided inside the claw-shaped portion, which is connected to the inner space of the upper cap 20. The upper part of the inner space is provided with protrusions 28 at equal intervals, with gaps between them. When used as a rainproof storage container 10, the protrusion 28 prevents the opening of the ventilation hole 25 from being blocked by stored items such as the chemical volatilizer 50.

[0018] Figure 5 is also a side view that visualizes the inside, The upper cap 20 and the container part 30 are screwed together to form the rainproof storage container 10. Two donut-shaped chemical volatilizers 50 are stored inside, stacked one on top of the other. The gardening pole 60 shown below the lower arrow is inserted into the inside of the rainproof storage container 10 from the lower opening 31 at the end of the arrow direction, passes through the inside of the donut-shaped chemical volatilizer 50, and then comes to rest against the protrusion 28 at the top end of the inside of the rainproof storage container 10. It also shows that the rainproof storage container 10 also contains a plug 44 for the lower opening, which is not required when the insect prevention measures are in place.

[0019] Figure 6 shows The rainproof container 10 shown in FIG. 5 is integrated. The figure shows a state in which the vent hole plug 26 shown by the thin broken line at the base of the hook portion 24 at the upper end, which is used to block the release of the volatile pesticide component of the pesticide volatilizer 50 inside the rainproof storage container 10 to the outside during periods when insect control measures are not necessary, is pinched and moved with the fingers to the position of the vent hole plug 26 shown by the solid line on the upper side, and inserted into the tip opening of the air hole 25 provided inside the hook portion 24 at the upper end, thereby blocking it. The lower opening 31 at the bottom end is plugged with a lower opening plug 44 to seal the rainproof storage container 10.

[0020] Figure 7 shows This is an image diagram showing a state in which the rainproof insect-proof container 10 of the present invention is placed in the air on the tip of a gardening pole 60 that has been driven into the ground next to vegetables in a vegetable garden. In an example where the rainproof storage container of the present invention was actually used to grow eggplants, Although the hook portion 24 and the ventilation hole 25 were not provided, Two months after planting, in early summer, the rainproof storage container 10 of the present invention was installed, and one month later, the presence of the 24-spotted ladybird beetle, also known as the false ladybird beetle, seemed to have decreased by 80%, and furthermore, no larvae were observed. From mid-summer onwards The newly sprouted leaves have completely revived the entire vegetable. The harvest has increased. This Figure 7 is an image of an actual implementation state in which no ventilation hole 25 is provided. It is believed that the presence of the ventilation holes 25 increases the insect repellent effect. [Industrial Applicability]

[0021] By eliminating or reducing the use of chemicals directly on vegetables, This allows us to provide food ingredients with an increased level of safety. [Explanation of symbols]
