Abstract

The present invention provides a fly control device comprising a lid having a plurality of fly landing portions formed radially at regular intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the lid with an inwardly concave shape, and a plurality of fly inlet ports formed at the inner ends of each of the plurality of fly landing portions, and a container having an open top surface for accommodating a fly attractant, and a capture container coupled to the lid, thereby preventing phenomena such as dung flies or blow flies sitting near the inlet port of the lid and blocking the inlet port so that other flies cannot enter, or a fly that sits first being caught in the line of sight of a fly that sits later, thereby interfering with the entry of relatively small house flies through the inlet port or causing such house flies to be reluctant to sit on the lid, so that dung flies or blow flies, as well as relatively small and sensitive house flies, can be easily captured regardless of type or size.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a trapping fly control device, which prevents the phenomenon where houseflies or blowflies sit near the inlet of a lid and block the inlet so that other flies cannot enter, or where a fly that sits first gets caught in the line of sight of a fly that sits later, thereby interfering with the entry of relatively small houseflies or making them reluctant to sit on the lid, so that houseflies, as well as blowflies and blowflies, regardless of type or size, can be easily captured with a single device. Background Technology

[0003] Flies are a major pest that carries various germs and is a primary cause of various diseases. Their flying around is unsightly, and their buzzing sound reduces concentration during study or work. They also lay eggs here and there, damaging the aesthetics and cleanliness of the surroundings, so they are currently being eradicated through various methods.

[0004] Conventional traditional methods for fly control include tools such as sprays and sticky traps.

[0005] However, fly repellent sprays have the disadvantage of being difficult to use in enclosed spaces without ventilation due to chemical components that are harmful to the human body and do not provide continuous effectiveness, as the effect lasts only for a certain period of time after spraying.

[0006] In addition, since the sticky traps are disposable and the number of flies that can be caught with a single trap is limited, even though the price of a single trap is low, the cost increases because they must be purchased in large quantities frequently when installed outdoors or in large spaces. Furthermore, since they are installed by hanging them outdoors, flies attached to them are exposed to the outside, which is unsightly and unhygienic. Additionally, there is a disadvantage in that flies attached to the traps occasionally fall off, failing to meet the main purpose of repelling flies.

[0007] To compensate for these disadvantages, a trapping fly control device in the form of a container that can easily catch a large number of flies over a long period of time has been disclosed.

[0008] Conventional trap-type fly control devices consist of a container formed to a certain size to hold a fly attractant for luring flies and to store dead flies after capture, and a lid having a narrow opening that allows flies lured by the fly attractant to enter the container but prevents them from easily escaping once inside.

[0009] However, most conventional fly control devices have flat lids, which result in a small landing area for flies and consequently a limited number of flies that can be caught at once. Additionally, flies that land first on the lid surface can block the inlet, hindering the entry of other flies, which has led to poor efficiency.

[0010] In addition, when installed outdoors, rainwater enters through the inlet when it rains, and if an excessive amount of rainwater enters, the dead flies stored inside flow out through the inlet along with the rainwater, causing the surrounding area to become dirty.

[0011] Meanwhile, there are various species of flies, such as dung flies and blow flies, and house flies, which are relatively smaller in size.

[0012] However, in conventional fly repellents, when multiple flies land on the lid surface, the fly that lands later will only see the fly that landed earlier.

[0013] Consequently, when relatively large dung flies or blow flies are already sitting on the lid surface, relatively small and sensitive house flies are less likely to sit on the lid surface while the dung flies or blow flies are sitting on it.

[0014] Therefore, while conventional fly control devices were useful for catching dung flies and blow flies, they were not very effective at catching house flies, which are small in size but account for a significant portion of the total fly population. Prior art literature

[0016] Published Patent Application No. 10-2023-0070385 The problem to be solved

[0017] The present invention aims to resolve the problems of conventional fly trapping devices as described above by providing a fly trapping device capable of trapping and eliminating various types of flies regardless of type or size, configured so that interference by other flies does not occur and other flies remain invisible even when multiple flies sit on the lid simultaneously.

[0018] In addition, the objective of the present invention is to provide a fly control device capable of effectively capturing houseflies, which are small and sensitive and difficult to catch easily with conventional fly control devices.

[0019] Furthermore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a fly control device that can be used safely outdoors regardless of the weather by preventing rainwater from entering the capture container when installed outdoors, thereby preventing the problem of captured fly carcasses being lost and the surrounding area of ​​the installation space becoming messy due to the container overflowing from the incoming rainwater.

[0020] In addition, the objective of the present invention is to provide a fly control device that can further enhance the fly capture effect by maximizing the surface area of ​​the lid to greatly expand the landing area of ​​the lid surface where flies can land, thereby allowing multiple flies to land on the lid at once. means of solving the problem

[0022] One aspect of the present invention provides a fly control device comprising: a lid having a plurality of fly landing portions formed radially at regular intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the lid in a shape that is concave inwardly, and fly inlet openings formed at the inner ends of each of the plurality of fly landing portions; and a capture container formed in the shape of a container with an open top surface to accommodate a fly attractant inside, and coupled to the lid.

[0023] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the lid may be formed in a dome shape.

[0024] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the fly landing portion may be formed as a curved surface.

[0025] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the fly landing portion is formed to be recessed further inward than the upper portion of the outer surface of the lid, so that the upper portion of the lid can serve as an eave that prevents rainwater from entering through the fly inlet during rain.

[0026] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the fly repellent device may further include a wall portion formed radially on the outer surface of the lid so as to be located between adjacent fly landing portions. Effects of the invention

[0028] A fly extermination device according to one embodiment of the present invention has multiple fly inlets formed in the lid so that even if one fly inlet is blocked by a fly that has already landed, another fly can enter through another fly inlet. Additionally, the fly landing area is formed with multiple fly landing parts that are concave inwardly, so that a fly that lands on an adjacent fly landing part is not visible to a fly that lands on another fly landing part, thereby preventing flies from seeing each other. This has the effect of capturing and exterminating various types of flies regardless of size and type, including houseflies, which are relatively small and sensitive, as well as dung flies and blowflies.

[0029] In addition, the fly landing area is formed to be more deeply recessed inward than the upper part of the outer surface of the lid, so that the upper part of the outer surface of the lid acts as an eaves to prevent rainwater from entering through the fly inlet during rain. This prevents rainwater from entering the trapping container through the fly inlet even when the fly control device is installed outdoors, thereby resolving the problem of the container overflowing due to incoming rainwater, which causes fly carcasses inside the container to be lost to the outside and makes the surroundings messy.

[0030] In addition, the fly repellent device of the present invention has a lid formed in a dome shape to greatly expand the surface area of ​​the lid, and the fly landing part is formed as a curved surface with a large radius of curvature in a shape that is concave inwardly, thereby maximizing the landing area on the lid surface where flies can land compared to conventional fly repellent devices having a flat lid, so that it can provide an excellent fly repellent effect that can capture more flies simultaneously in a short time. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0032] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fly repellent device according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lid of Figure 1. Fig. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the lid of Fig. 1. Figure 4 is a bottom view of the lid of Figure 1. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0033] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0034] In addition, throughout the specification, the term 'includes' a component means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0035] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fly repellent device according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lid of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the lid of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the lid of FIG. 1.

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a fly repellent device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a lid (100) and a capture container (200).

[0037] This fly repellent device (1) is structured so that when a fly enters through the fly inlet (130) formed in the lid (100), it cannot easily escape to the outside.

[0038] The capture container (200) is formed in the shape of a container with an open top surface so that a fly attractant is placed on the inner bottom surface, and is connected to the connecting part (112) at the bottom of the lid (100) so that it is not detachable but can be detached when necessary for cleaning, etc. At this time, the connecting part (112) may have a screw thread (112a) to facilitate connection and separation with the capture container (200).

[0039] In addition, the aforementioned fly attractant can be formed from various materials that flies like and can attract them from a distance, and it is preferable that it be formed from natural materials that are harmless to the human body.

[0040] Additionally, the capture container (200) must contain a certain amount of fly attractant and is formed in a size that can secure a certain capacity as flies that enter the interior die and their corpses continue to accumulate. However, it can be manufactured in various sizes depending on the installation location and intended use, and the size of the capture container (200) of the present invention is not limited to that shown in the drawings of the present invention.

[0041] The lid (100) can be formed in a dome shape. Since the surface area of ​​the lid (100) is greatly expanded, the landing area where flies can sit also increases proportionally, so the effect of capturing more flies in a shorter time can be expected compared to conventional fly repellent devices where the lid is made of a flat surface.

[0042] Additionally, a plurality of fly landing parts (120) are formed on the outer surface (110) of the lid (100) at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. Although the present invention is illustrated as having six fly landing parts (120) formed on the lid (100), the present invention is not limited thereto, and the fly landing parts (120) may be formed in five or fewer or seven or more.

[0043] The fly landing portion (120) has a predetermined surface area so that a fly can sit on it and is formed in a shape that is concavely inward. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the lid (100) is viewed from the bottom, the fly landing portion (120) is formed to appear convex.

[0044] Accordingly, the edge portion of the fly landing section (120) acts as a shield, so that a fly sitting on one fly landing section (120) cannot visually see a fly sitting on the other fly landing section (120).

[0045] That is, even if several flies sit on the lid (100) at once, they do not know that they are sitting on different fly landing parts (120), so they do not affect each other, and each fly can pass through the fly landing part (120) on which it is sitting and enter the fly inlet (130).

[0046] Therefore, not only dung flies and blow flies, but also relatively small and sensitive house flies can land on one of the multiple fly landing parts (120) formed on the outer surface (110) of the lid (100) without interference from dung flies or blow flies, and thus, the effect of easily capturing dung flies and blow flies, as well as house flies that are difficult to catch with conventional fly control devices, can be expected.

[0047] In addition, if a plurality of fly landing parts (120) are formed inwardly concavely on the lid (100), the radius of curvature of the surface of the lid (100) increases, and the effect of increasing the surface area of ​​the lid (100) by about 120% compared to the case where it is formed without fly landing parts can be expected.

[0048] As the surface area of ​​the lid (100) increases in this way, the landing area where flies can sit also increases, so as a result, the probability of flies being captured through the fly inlet (130) increases, thereby further enhancing the fly control effect.

[0049] And, a fly inlet (130) is formed at each of the inner ends of the plurality of fly landing parts (120).

[0050] In this way, if multiple fly inlets (130) are formed separately on the lid (100), even if the fly inlet (130) formed in a fly landing part (120) is blocked by a fly sitting on one fly landing part (120), a fly sitting on another fly landing part (120) can enter the capture container (200) without interference through another fly inlet (130) formed in another fly landing part (120).

[0051] As a result, flies are introduced through each fly inlet (130), allowing a large number of flies to be captured in a short time.

[0052] And, the fly landing portion (120) has an incline with respect to the bottom surface of the capture container (200) and can be formed as a curved surface as shown in the drawing.

[0053] In this way, when the fly landing part (120) is formed as a curved surface, even when the fly control device (1) is installed externally and it rains, rainwater flows down in the opposite direction of the fly inlet (130) and flows out of the capture container (200), thereby preventing rainwater from entering the capture container (200) through the fly inlet (130), thus resolving the problem of the inside of the container overflowing due to rainwater entering the container through the inlet in conventional fly control devices where the surface of the lid is formed flat.

[0054] And, the fly landing portion (120) is formed to be more deeply recessed inward than the upper portion of the outer surface (110) of the lid (100), so that the upper portion of the lid (100) can become an eave (111) that more effectively prevents rainwater from entering the fly inlet (130) during rain.

[0055] That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when viewing the lid (100) from the bottom, the fly landing portion (120) is formed to protrude further inward than the inner surface of the lid (100), so that the fly inlet (130) is located further inward than the inner surface of the lid and a ledge is formed at the end of the fly inlet (130).

[0056] Accordingly, the eaves (111) more effectively prevent rainwater from entering the fly inlet (130), so that rainwater hardly enters the inside of the capture container (200) during rainy weather. This prevents rainwater from entering the inside of the capture container (200) through the fly inlet (130) even when the fly control device (1) is installed outside and it rains heavily, thereby resolving the problem of the inside of the capture container overflowing due to the incoming rainwater, causing fly carcasses inside the capture container to be lost to the outside and the surroundings to become dirty.

[0057] The fly repellent device (1) of the present invention may further include a wall portion (160) formed to be located between adjacent fly landing portions (120).

[0058] The wall portion (160) can be formed radially on the outer surface (110) of the lid (100) with the center portion of the lid (100) as the center.

[0059] These wall sections (160) can increase the durability of the lid (100) and further enhance the effect of preventing multiple flies sitting on the lid (100) from seeing each other by forming a partition of a certain height on the outer surface (110) of the lid (100).

[0060] At this time, even if a wall (160) is formed at a location far from the fly landing part (120) and the fly inlet (130) (i.e., a location close to the perimeter of the lid (100)), the effect of preventing flies from seeing each other is insufficient. Therefore, in one embodiment, the wall (160) is formed to be cut off in the middle rather than extending from the outer surface of the lid (100) to the location where the connecting part (112) is located. By doing this, the effect of reducing manufacturing costs can be expected.

[0061] Meanwhile, drawing number 140 is a hole for hanging a string, and a fly repellent device (1) can be installed by hanging a string or wire through this hole (140) to repel flies in a place where flies are to be repelled.

[0062] And, since the part where the strap loop hole (140) is formed (the center part of the lid in terms of location) receives relatively more force compared to other parts, a projection (150) that protrudes downward by a predetermined length is formed at the location where the strap loop hole (140) is formed on the inner surface of the lid (100), and at this time, the area around the projection (150) is reinforced with a reinforcing part (113) to improve the durability of the lid (100).

[0063] Additionally, the protrusion (150) can function to prevent a fly from escaping through another fly inlet (130), for example, a fly inlet (130) located on the opposite side, as soon as the fly enters the capture container (200) through the fly inlet (130).

[0064] Additionally, the protrusion (150) acts to hinder the flight of the fly when the fly captured in the capture container (200) flies up from below, thereby preventing the fly from flying normally and thus preventing the fly from unexpectedly escaping from the capture container (200).

[0065] The present invention is not limited by the embodiments described above. Accordingly, various substitutions, modifications, and changes may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as described in the claims, and such are also to be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
