Description

捕虫器Insect trap
 本発明は伝染病を媒介する蚊などの飛翔昆虫を除去する捕虫器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an insect trap that removes flying insects such as mosquitoes that transmit infectious diseases.
 従来から、蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を誘引して除去する捕虫器が市販されている。その誘引手段には様々な方式が提案されている。なかでも、蚊が黒色を代表とする暗色に集まる習性を利用し、本体や本体の一部、吸引部分などを暗色に塗装した装置が知られている。 捕 Conventionally, insect traps that attract and remove flying insects such as mosquitoes are commercially available. Various methods have been proposed for the attracting means. Above all, there is known an apparatus in which a main body, a part of the main body, a suction portion, and the like are painted dark using a habit of mosquitoes gathering in a dark color represented by black.
 図9に示す捕虫機能を有した送風機は、蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を捕集するものである。筐体103には、吸込口101と吹出口102を備えている。筐体103内には、送風ファン104と、濾過フィルタ105とを備えている。送風ファン104は、吸込口101から吸気し、吹出口102から排気するものである。濾過フィルタ105は、吸込口101から吸い込まれた空気を濾過するものである。 送 The blower having the insect trapping function shown in FIG. 9 collects flying insects such as mosquitoes. The housing 103 includes a suction port 101 and an air outlet 102. A blower fan 104 and a filter 105 are provided in the housing 103. The blower fan 104 takes in air from the inlet 101 and exhausts air from the outlet 102. The filtration filter 105 filters the air sucked from the suction port 101.
 この送風機では、筐体103を黒色としていた。筐体103内において、吸込口101の内側の通気経路には、誘引部として近紫外光を発する光源108を設けていた。そして、吸込口101と濾過フィルタ105間の通気経路に虫を捕獲する捕虫部107を設けていた(例えば特許文献1参照)。 筐 体 In this blower, the casing 103 was black. In the casing 103, a light source 108 that emits near-ultraviolet light was provided as an attraction unit in a ventilation path inside the suction port 101. In addition, an insect trap 107 for catching insects is provided in a ventilation path between the suction port 101 and the filtration filter 105 (for example, see Patent Document 1).
 また、蚊を誘引して屋外へ排出する装置もあった。 装置 There were also devices that attract mosquitoes and discharge them to the outdoors.
 図10に示すように、吸込口付近に蚊を誘引するための光源を備えた換気装置が知られている。 As shown in FIG. 10, a ventilator equipped with a light source for attracting mosquitoes near an inlet is known.
 すなわち、このような換気装置は、内部の風路内にモーター203とファン204を備えていた。内部風路につながる吸込口201には誘引部202として光源を備えていた。光源の作用で吸込口201に蚊を引き寄せて、風路内のモーター203とファン204を用いて発生させた気流で、近づいた蚊を本体内に吸込み、排出するものであった(例えば特許文献2参照)。 That is, such a ventilation device was provided with the motor 203 and the fan 204 in the internal air passage. The suction port 201 connected to the internal air passage was provided with a light source as an attraction unit 202. A mosquito is drawn to the suction port 201 by the action of the light source, and the approached mosquito is sucked into the main body and discharged by an air current generated by using the motor 203 and the fan 204 in the air path (for example, Patent Document 1). 2).

 従来の装置では、装置近傍へ飛翔性昆虫を誘引することは可能であったが、捕集部に捕集されずに、吸引力の弱い部分に留まるものも多く、誘引された昆虫が捕集されずに再び飛散するという課題があった。 In the conventional device, it was possible to attract flying insects to the vicinity of the device.However, many of them were not collected by the collection unit but remained in the weak suction area. There was a problem that it scattered again without being.
 また、同室内に暗色の物質や、人や動物などの体温を持った生物が存在すると、昆虫がそちらに誘引されて捕集効果が低減するという課題があった。 課題 In addition, if dark-colored substances or living things with body temperature, such as humans and animals, exist in the same room, there is a problem that insects are attracted there and the collecting effect is reduced.
 また、誘引部に光源を設けることは、蛾や、蝿の一種であるユスリカのような飛翔性昆虫を誘引することは可能であるが、室内でヒトから吸血し、感染症の媒介なども行う蚊を誘引・除去することまではできないという課題を有していた。 In addition, providing a light source in the attracting section can attract moths and flying insects such as chironomids, which are a type of fly, but they also suck blood from humans indoors and transmit infectious diseases. There was a problem that it was not possible to attract and remove mosquitoes.
 本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するものである。すなわち、吸血要求の高い蚊などの飛翔昆虫を誘引し、捕集する捕虫器を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide an insect trap that attracts and collects flying insects such as mosquitoes that require high blood sucking.
 本発明は、感染症の原因となるウィルスを媒介し、人への有害性の高い蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を室内から除去する捕虫器を提供するものである。 The present invention provides an insect trap which transmits a virus which causes an infectious disease and removes flying insects such as mosquitoes which are highly harmful to humans from indoors.
 捕虫器は、吸込口と排出口とを有した筐体を備えている。また、筐体内には、風路と回転体と送風装置とを備えている。 虫 The insect trap has a housing having a suction port and a discharge port. Further, an air path, a rotating body, and a blower are provided in the housing.
 吸込口は、室内の気体を筐体内に導入するものである。排出口は、筐体内に流入した気体を筐体外へ排出するものである。風路は、吸込口から排出口へ気体を流すものである。送風装置は、風路内に吸込口から排出口へ向かう気流を発生させるものである。回転体は、回転モーターの軸に取り付けられている。風路内で、回転体は、回転モーターの回転と連動して回転することができる。また、吸込口には捕集体が備えてあり、捕集体は回転体の上流側に配置されている。捕集体は、回転体の動きが視認できる透過性を有しているので、回転体は、吸気口の外側から少なくとも一部が視認できる。また、捕集体は、飛来した飛翔性昆虫を捕捉する捕集性を有している。回転体と捕集体の色の明度は、少なくとも一方が5以下である。 The suction port is for introducing indoor gas into the housing. The outlet is for discharging the gas flowing into the housing to the outside of the housing. The air passage flows gas from the suction port to the discharge port. The blower generates an airflow from an inlet to an outlet in an air passage. The rotating body is attached to a shaft of a rotating motor. In the air passage, the rotating body can rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating motor. The suction port is provided with a collecting body, and the collecting body is arranged on the upstream side of the rotating body. Since the collector has transparency so that the movement of the rotating body can be visually recognized, at least a part of the rotating body can be visually recognized from outside the intake port. Moreover, the collector has a trapping property for trapping flying insects. At least one of the luminosity of the rotator and the collector is 5 or less.
 これにより、明度が5以下の回転体または捕集体が暗い物体に止まる性質を持つ蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を捕虫器まで誘引することができる。更に、回転体の動きが、特に動物への吸血要求欲求が高い蚊などの飛翔昆虫を効果的に誘引することができる。そして、吸込口から排出口へ流れる気流と共に、回転体に接近した飛翔性昆虫を吸引することができるので、捕集体で飛翔性昆虫を捕集することができる。 に よ り This makes it possible to attract flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have the property that the rotating body or the catcher having a brightness of 5 or less stops on a dark object, to the insect trap. Furthermore, the movement of the rotating body can effectively attract flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have a particularly high demand for blood-sucking demands on animals. Since the flying insect approaching the rotating body can be sucked together with the airflow flowing from the suction port to the discharging port, the flying insect can be collected by the collector.

 以下では、本発明の実施形態に係る捕虫器について、図面を用いて詳細に説明する。 虫 Hereinafter, an insect trap according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
 (第1の実施形態)
 図1は本実施形態における捕虫器の図である。
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an insect trap according to the present embodiment.
 本実施形態の捕虫器1は、図1のように、筐体2に吸込口3と排出口4を備えている。筐体2の内部には、風路5と回転体8と送風装置6とを備えている。吸込口3と排出口4は、筐体2において、風路5形成する壁面の端部がそれぞれ筐体2の表面で開口している部分をいう。吸込口3は室内の気体を筐体2内に導入するものである。排出口4は、流入した気体を筐体2外へ排出するものである。風路5は、吸込口3と排出口4を連通させている。送風装置6は風路5内において、吸込口3から排出口4へ向かう気流を発生させる。回転体8は、回転モーター7の軸に取り付けられて、回転モーター7の回転と連動して回転する。風路5には、回転体8の上流側に捕集体9が備えられている。捕集体9の捕虫面14は、水平にしている。風路5内では、気体が流れる方向において上流側から、捕集体9、回転体8、送風装置6の順番に配置されている。 捕 The insect trap 1 of the present embodiment has a housing 2 provided with a suction port 3 and a discharge port 4 as shown in FIG. The housing 2 includes an air path 5, a rotating body 8, and a blower 6. The inlet 3 and the outlet 4 are portions of the housing 2 where the ends of the wall surfaces forming the air passages 5 are open on the surface of the housing 2. The suction port 3 is for introducing gas in the room into the housing 2. The outlet 4 is for discharging the gas that has flowed in outside the housing 2. The air passage 5 connects the suction port 3 and the discharge port 4. The blower 6 generates an airflow from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4 in the air passage 5. The rotating body 8 is attached to a shaft of the rotating motor 7 and rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating motor 7. The air passage 5 is provided with a collector 9 upstream of the rotating body 8. The insect trapping surface 14 of the trap 9 is horizontal. In the air path 5, the collecting body 9, the rotating body 8, and the blower 6 are arranged in this order from the upstream side in the gas flowing direction.
 捕集体9は、透過性のある樹脂や金属などの繊維が規則的あるいはランダムに絡んだ構造体である。一例として、網やネット、不織布が挙げられる。網やネット、不織布を用いることで、捕集体9の上流側から下流側の回転体8が回転する様子を容易に視認できる構成とすることができる。加えて、捕集体9に飛来した飛翔性昆虫を下流側へ通過せずに捕捉する捕集性を持たせることができる。 The collector 9 is a structure in which fibers of a transparent resin or metal are regularly or randomly entangled. As an example, a net, a net, and a nonwoven fabric can be given. By using a net, a net, or a nonwoven fabric, a configuration in which the rotating body 8 on the downstream side from the upstream side of the collecting body 9 can be easily visually recognized can be provided. In addition, it is possible to have a trapping property for catching flying insects that have arrived at the trapping body 9 without passing them downstream.
 これらの透過性と捕集性の特性を両立するために、具体的には、捕集体9を形成する繊維は繊維径が1mm以下であることが好ましい。より好ましくは繊維径を0.5mm以下とすることである。また、捕集体9内で繊維同士が絡み合って重なることによって形成される開口は、繊維間の距離が最も長い部分において、1.5mm以下であることが好ましい。これにより、飛翔性昆虫、特に動物への吸血要求が高い蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を捕集することができる。例えば、網戸などに使用される格子状に樹脂繊維が配列した20メッシュ程度のネットは、市販で安価に手に入りやすく、透過性も高いため、捕集体9として適している。 繊 維 Specifically, the fibers forming the collector 9 preferably have a fiber diameter of 1 mm or less in order to achieve both the permeability and the trapping property. More preferably, the fiber diameter is 0.5 mm or less. Further, the opening formed by the fibers being entangled and overlapping in the collecting body 9 is preferably 1.5 mm or less at the portion where the distance between the fibers is the longest. As a result, flying insects, particularly flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have a high blood sucking requirement for animals, can be collected. For example, a net of about 20 mesh in which resin fibers are arranged in a lattice pattern used for a screen door or the like is suitable as the collector 9 because it is commercially available, easily available at low cost, and has high permeability.
 また、捕集体9は、その内部または表面に殺虫成分を含有または担持してもよい。捕集体9の表面に殺虫成分を担持させる方法には、浸漬、塗布、吹き付けといった方法がある。例えば、殺虫成分の溶液中に捕集体9を浸漬すればよい。また、刷毛などを用いて殺虫成分の溶液を捕集体9に塗布してもよい。スプレーで殺虫成分の溶液を捕集体9に吹き付けることもできる。その他、捕集体9を形成する繊維が樹脂であれば、樹脂繊維内部に殺虫成分を含有してもよい。樹脂繊維中に殺虫成分を含有させる方法としては、被覆する方法、原料樹脂と混合する方法がある。被覆する方法は、殺虫成分を含む芯材の周りに樹脂成分を被覆するものである。原料樹脂と混合する方法は、殺虫成分を原料樹脂と混合し繊維状に紡糸するものである。 捕 Moreover, the collector 9 may contain or carry an insecticidal component inside or on its surface. As a method of supporting the insecticidal component on the surface of the collector 9, there are methods such as immersion, application, and spraying. For example, the collector 9 may be immersed in a solution of the insecticidal component. Alternatively, the insecticidal component solution may be applied to the collector 9 using a brush or the like. A solution of the insecticidal component can be sprayed on the collector 9 by spraying. In addition, if the fibers forming the collector 9 are resin, an insecticidal component may be contained inside the resin fibers. As a method of including an insecticidal component in the resin fiber, there are a coating method and a method of mixing with a raw material resin. The coating method is to coat a resin component around a core material containing an insecticidal component. In the method of mixing with the raw material resin, the insecticidal component is mixed with the raw material resin and spun into a fiber.
 殺虫成分としては、残効性の高いピレスロイド系が好ましい。例えば、ペルメトリン、フェノトリン、エトフェンプロックス、アレスリン等を用いることができる。これら殺虫成分により、捕集体9に捕捉された飛翔性昆虫を衰弱させることができるので、飛翔性昆虫の再飛散を抑制することができる。また、これら殺虫成分は、捕集体9に付与された後、殺虫効果を長期間持続させることができるので、メンテナンスの頻度を削減することができるという利点がある。 (4) As the insecticidal component, pyrethroids having high residual effect are preferable. For example, permethrin, phenothrin, etofenprox, allethrin and the like can be used. With these insecticidal components, the flying insects captured by the trap 9 can be weakened, so that the re-scattering of the flying insects can be suppressed. In addition, since these insecticidal components can maintain the insecticidal effect for a long time after being applied to the collector 9, there is an advantage that the frequency of maintenance can be reduced.
 回転体8は、飛翔性昆虫が回転による動きを認識することのできる速度で回転している。具体的には、毎分100回転から3000回転程度であることが好ましい。100回転以下であると、複眼を持つ蚊などの飛翔性昆虫には殆ど動いているように見えないので、好ましくない。また、3000回転以上になると、回転による騒音が問題となるので、好ましくない。 The rotating body 8 is rotating at a speed at which the flying insect can recognize the movement due to the rotation. Specifically, the rotation speed is preferably about 100 to 3000 revolutions per minute. When the rotation speed is less than 100 rotations, flying insects such as mosquitoes having compound eyes hardly seem to move, which is not preferable. Further, if the rotation speed exceeds 3000 rotations, noise due to rotation becomes a problem, which is not preferable.
 回転体8の形状は、飛翔性昆虫が回転の動きを認識できればどのような形状でも効果に差異はないが、円盤形状が好ましい。回転体の動きがより視認しやすく、且つ送風による抵抗を小さくするために、回転体8にスリットや孔が設けられていることが好ましい。 The shape of the rotating body 8 is not limited to any shape as long as the flying insect can recognize the rotational movement, but a disk shape is preferable. It is preferable that a slit or a hole is provided in the rotating body 8 in order to make the movement of the rotating body more visible and reduce the resistance due to the blowing.
 また、捕集体9及び回転体8は黒色に着色している。色の三属性のひとつである明度は0から10で表され、数字が小さいほど暗く、最も明るい白で9.5程度、最も暗い黒で1.0程度の数字で表される。本実施形態において、飛翔性昆虫を効果的に誘引するためには明度が5以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは3以下である。一方、色の三属性のひとつである色相には特に制限はない。赤でも青でも明度が5以下であれば飛翔性昆虫を誘引する効果は発現する。そのなかで最も誘引効果の高い色は黒色である。尚、本実施の形態では、捕集体9と回転体8は、いずれも黒色に着色しているが、どちらか一方を黒色に着色していれば誘引効果を発現することが可能である。 (4) The collecting body 9 and the rotating body 8 are colored black. The lightness, which is one of the three attributes of color, is represented by a number from 0 to 10. The smaller the number, the darker it is. The brightest white is about 9.5, and the darkest black is about 1.0. In the present embodiment, in order to effectively attract flying insects, the brightness is preferably 5 or less, more preferably 3 or less. On the other hand, there is no particular limitation on hue, which is one of the three attributes of color. If the brightness is 5 or less in both red and blue, the effect of attracting flying insects is exhibited. The most attractive color is black. In this embodiment, both the collector 9 and the rotator 8 are colored black, but if one of them is colored black, an attraction effect can be exhibited.
 送風装置6は、回転体8の下流に設置されており、吸込口3から排出口4へ向かう気流を発生させることができる。飛翔性昆虫は、回転体8の回転に引き寄せられて、吸込口3に接近する。その後、飛翔性昆虫は、吸込口3から排出口4へ向かう気流によって、吸い込まれ、捕集体9上に捕集される。捕集された飛翔性昆虫は、飛翔しようとするが、送風装置6による気流の影響を受けるため、捕集体9から飛び立つことはできず、室内に再度飛来することが抑制される。 風 The blower 6 is installed downstream of the rotating body 8 and can generate an airflow from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4. The flying insect is attracted by the rotation of the rotating body 8 and approaches the suction port 3. Thereafter, the flying insects are sucked in by the air current flowing from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4 and are collected on the collector 9. The collected flying insects try to fly, but are not able to fly off from the collecting body 9 because of the influence of the air current by the blower 6, and are prevented from flying into the room again.
 送風装置6としては、回転体8に近づいた飛翔性昆虫を吸い込み、更に捕集体9から再度飛翔することができない程の気流を発生させる装置であればよい。具体的には、風速1m/秒以上の風速を得られるものであれば、効果に差異はなく、送風用のファンや、エアーポンプなど、最適なものを選べば良い。 The blower 6 may be any device that sucks flying insects approaching the rotating body 8 and generates an airflow that cannot fly again from the collector 9. Specifically, there is no difference in effect as long as a wind speed of 1 m / sec or more can be obtained, and an optimal fan such as a fan for air blowing or an air pump may be selected.
 また、捕集体9は筐体2から着脱可能にして備えてもよい。これにより、捕集体9に捕集された飛翔性昆虫を容易に払落し、清掃することが可能である。 捕 Moreover, the collector 9 may be provided detachably from the housing 2. Thereby, the flying insects collected by the collecting body 9 can be easily washed off and cleaned.
 上記構成により、室内に侵入した飛翔性昆虫は、捕集体9及び回転体8をめがけて飛行する。すなわち、飛翔性昆虫を吸込口3付近まで誘引することができる。送風装置6による気流によって、誘引された飛翔性昆虫の飛行力を失わせることができるので、捕集体9で飛翔性昆虫を捕獲することができる。 に よ り With the above configuration, the flying insect that has entered the room flies at the collector 9 and the rotating body 8. That is, flying insects can be attracted to the vicinity of the suction port 3. Since the air force of the blower 6 can cause the flying power of the attracted flying insects to be lost, the flying insects can be captured by the collector 9.
 (第2の実施形態)
 図2は、本実施形態の捕虫器21を示す側面断面図である。
(Second embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the insect trap 21 of the present embodiment.
 本実施の形態では、送風装置6において、回転体8の役割を持たせた構成について説明をする。第1の実施形態と同じ構成要件には同一番号を付し、詳細な説明は省略する。 In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the blower 6 has the role of the rotating body 8 will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.
 図2に示すように、捕虫器21は、筐体2に吸込口3と排出口4を備えている。 虫 As shown in FIG. 2, the insect trap 21 includes a suction port 3 and a discharge port 4 in the housing 2.
 筐体2の内部には、風路5と送風装置6とを備えている。吸込口3には、捕集体9を備えている。送風装置6は、風路5内に吸込口3から排出口4へ向かう気流を発生させるものである。風路5内には、気体が流れる方向において上流側から順番に、捕集体9、送風装置6が配置されている。 An air passage 5 and a blower 6 are provided inside the housing 2. The suction port 3 is provided with a collecting body 9. The blower 6 generates an airflow from the inlet 3 to the outlet 4 in the air passage 5. The collecting body 9 and the blower 6 are arranged in the air path 5 in order from the upstream side in the gas flowing direction.
 図2に示すように、捕虫器21の送風装置6は、送風ファン23を備えている。送風ファン23は、回転モーター7にプロペラ形状の羽根22が取り付けられたものである。羽根22が回転することにより、風路5内に吸込口3から排出口4へ向かう気流を発生させることができる。 風 As shown in FIG. 2, the blower 6 of the insect trap 21 includes a blower fan 23. The blower fan 23 includes a rotary motor 7 and a propeller-shaped blade 22 attached thereto. The rotation of the blades 22 can generate an airflow from the suction port 3 to the discharge port 4 in the air passage 5.
 また、羽根22は黒色に着色しているので、羽根22が回転することで飛翔性昆虫を誘引する効果が得られる。これにより、実施の形態1のように回転体8と送風装置6を別々に設ける必要がなく、よりコンパクトな捕虫器21を提供することができる。また、回転体8を備えた場合に比べて空気抵抗がない。すなわち、送風ファン23がスムーズに風を流すことができるため、回転体8に替えて備えた羽根22を回転させて誘引した飛翔性昆虫を捕集体9で効率的に捕集することができる。 {Circle around (2)} Since the wings 22 are colored black, the effect of attracting flying insects by the rotation of the wings 22 is obtained. Thus, it is not necessary to separately provide the rotating body 8 and the blowing device 6 as in the first embodiment, and a more compact trap 21 can be provided. Further, there is no air resistance as compared with the case where the rotating body 8 is provided. That is, since the blower fan 23 can smoothly flow the wind, the flying insects which are provided by rotating the blades 22 provided in place of the rotating body 8 can be efficiently collected by the collecting body 9.
 送風ファン23は飛翔性昆虫が羽根22の動きを認識することのできる速度で回転している。具体的には、毎分100回転から3000回転の速度とすることが好ましい。 (4) The blower fan 23 is rotating at a speed at which the flying insect can recognize the movement of the blade 22. Specifically, the speed is preferably from 100 to 3000 revolutions per minute.
 速度が100回転以下であると、複眼を持つ蚊などの飛翔性昆虫には動いているように見ないので、誘引する効果が低い。また、100回転以下の速度は、送風ファン23の回転による気流が弱く、誘引した飛翔性昆虫を捕集体9に捕捉する圧力が小さいため、再飛翔させてしまう可能性が高い。また、速度が3000回転以上になると回転による騒音が問題となる。 If the speed is less than 100 revolutions, flying insects such as mosquitoes having compound eyes do not look as if they are moving, and the effect of attraction is low. At a speed of 100 revolutions or less, the airflow due to the rotation of the blower fan 23 is weak, and the pressure at which the attracted flying insects are trapped by the trap 9 is low, so that the flying insects are likely to fly again. Further, when the speed exceeds 3000 rotations, noise due to rotation becomes a problem.
 尚、飛翔性昆虫を効果的に誘引するためには、羽根22の色は明度が5以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは3以下である。色相には特に制限はなく、赤でも青であっても明度が5以下であれば、飛翔性昆虫を誘引する効果が発揮できる。最も誘引効果の高い色は黒色である。また、本実施の形態では捕集体9及び羽根22のいずれも黒色に着色しているが、どちらか一方を黒色に着色していれば誘引効果を発揮することができる。 In order to effectively attract flying insects, the color of the wings 22 preferably has a brightness of 5 or less, more preferably 3 or less. There is no particular limitation on the hue, and the effect of attracting flying insects can be exhibited as long as the brightness is 5 or less regardless of whether the color is red or blue. The most attractive color is black. Further, in the present embodiment, both the collector 9 and the blade 22 are colored black, but if one of them is colored black, an attraction effect can be exhibited.
 さて、送風ファン23を用いて、近づいた飛翔性昆虫を吸い込むという構成を備えた場合、蚊の一部が羽根22へ衝突してしまうことが懸念されていた。誘引された蚊の一部は、羽根22と衝突するため送風ファン23を通過できず、前面に弾き飛ばされて筐体2の周辺に死骸が散乱することや、送風ファン23に死骸が付着したりすることがあった。しかし、本実施の形態のように捕集体9を送風装置6よりも上流側に備えることで、飛翔性昆虫の羽根22への衝突を防止することができ、頻繁に掃除やメンテナンスを行うことは必要がなくなる。 By the way, in the case where the air blower 23 is used to suck the approaching flying insects, there is a concern that a part of the mosquito may collide with the wing 22. Some of the attracted mosquitoes cannot pass through the blower fan 23 because they collide with the wings 22, and are flipped to the front to scatter dead bodies around the housing 2, or the dead bodies adhere to the blower fan 23. Or something. However, by providing the collector 9 upstream of the blower 6 as in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the flying insects from colliding with the wings 22 and perform frequent cleaning and maintenance. Eliminates the need.
 (第3の実施形態)
 飛翔性昆虫が捕集体9で捕らえたのちに、死骸となった飛翔性昆虫を回収するための回収箱32を備えた実施形態について説明する。図3に本実施の形態の捕虫器31を示す。第1の実施の形態、第2の実施形態と同じ構成要件には同一番号を付し詳細な説明およびその作用は省略する。
(Third embodiment)
An embodiment provided with a collection box 32 for collecting the flying insects that have become dead after the flying insects have been caught by the collector 9 will be described. FIG. 3 shows an insect trap 31 according to the present embodiment. The same components as those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description and operation thereof will be omitted.
 回収箱32は、上側を開口した箱状の部品であり、捕虫器31の筐体2の下部に配置している。 The collection box 32 is a box-shaped part having an open upper side, and is disposed below the casing 2 of the insect trap 31.
 図3に示すように、捕虫器31では、捕集体9の捕虫面14を略垂直に配置している。そして、捕集体9の下方には回収箱32を備えている。つまり、捕集体9の前面から鉛直下方向に落下した物体を受け止めることのできる位置に設置されている。 虫 As shown in FIG. 3, in the insect trap 31, the insect trapping surface 14 of the trap 9 is disposed substantially vertically. A collection box 32 is provided below the collection body 9. That is, it is installed at a position where it can receive an object that has fallen vertically downward from the front surface of the collector 9.
 上記構成により、捕集体9で捕獲された飛翔性昆虫は、殺虫成分を嫌がり飛翔しようとする。飛翔性昆虫は、殺虫成分に触れて衰弱していることに加えて、送風装置6の排気流の影響を受けるため、ネットから飛び立つことができず、やがて回収箱32内に落下する。このように捕集体9に捕集された飛翔性昆虫は、重力によって落下し、回収箱32へと集められるために、捕集体9に捕集された飛翔性昆虫の死骸を都度清掃する必要がなく、メンテナンス性に優れた捕虫器を提供することができる。 に よ り With the above configuration, the flying insects captured by the collector 9 dislike the insecticidal components and try to fly. Since the flying insects are weakened by touching the insecticidal components and are affected by the exhaust air flow of the blower 6, they cannot fly off the net and eventually fall into the collection box 32. Since the flying insects collected by the collecting body 9 fall by gravity and are collected in the collection box 32, it is necessary to clean the dead insects collected by the collecting body 9 each time. Therefore, it is possible to provide an insect trap excellent in maintainability.

In contrast to the insect trap 31 of the third embodiment, the insect trap 41 of the present embodiment is a more specific embodiment. The same components as those in the first to third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.
 図4に示すように、捕虫器41は、筐体2と、本体パネル43とから構成されている。本体パネル43は筐体2の前面に備えている。 虫 As shown in FIG. 4, the insect trap 41 is composed of the housing 2 and a main body panel 43. The main body panel 43 is provided on the front surface of the housing 2.

The blades 22 are entirely made of black resin or metal.
 ルーバー44は、捕虫器41の前面において、筐体2の室内側を覆っている。本体パネル43は、筐体2の前面側で捕虫器41の吸込口3を形成している。本体パネル43の上流側に、ルーバー44を配置している。ルーバー44の表面(室内側から見える面)は黒色となっている。 The louver 44 covers the indoor side of the housing 2 on the front surface of the insect trap 41. The main body panel 43 forms the suction port 3 of the insect trap 41 on the front side of the housing 2. A louver 44 is disposed upstream of the main body panel 43. The surface of the louver 44 (the surface visible from the indoor side) is black.

 捕集体9は樹脂や金属からなる枠体45で保持されている。枠体45は、取り外し可能にして、本体パネル43に固定されている。 (4) The collecting body 9 is held by a frame 45 made of resin or metal. The frame 45 is detachably fixed to the main body panel 43.
 捕集体9は黒色の樹脂の繊維から形成されている。樹脂繊維の素材には、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル等を用いることができる。捕集体9を形成する繊維は、その内部または表面にピレスロイド系殺虫剤成分を含有または担持している。 The collector 9 is formed from black resin fibers. As the material of the resin fiber, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, or the like can be used. The fibers forming the collector 9 contain or carry a pyrethroid-based insecticide component inside or on its surface.
 ルーバー44は、外周部46と開口部47と取付部49を有している。外周部46は、捕虫器41の前面において、外側を覆う部分である。開口部47は、外周部46に保持された中央の部分である。開口部47は格子48によって遮られている。取付部49は捕虫器41にルーバー44を取り付けるための部分である。 The louver 44 has an outer peripheral portion 46, an opening portion 47, and a mounting portion 49. The outer peripheral portion 46 is a portion that covers the outside on the front surface of the insect trap 41. The opening 47 is a central portion held by the outer peripheral portion 46. The opening 47 is blocked by the grid 48. The attachment part 49 is a part for attaching the louver 44 to the insect trap 41.
 本体パネル43には、取付受け部50が備えられている。ルーバー44は、取付部49が、取付受け部50に接続されることで固定される。 The body panel 43 is provided with an attachment receiving portion 50. The louver 44 is fixed by connecting the mounting portion 49 to the mounting receiving portion 50.
 格子48も黒色となっている。羽根22、ルーバー44の前面、格子48の黒色は、例えばマンセル表色系で規定される明度が1~3の色が好ましい。このように、捕虫器41の羽根22、ルーバー44の表面、捕集体9が黒色で構成されていることから、排気流が流入する開口部47全体が黒色となり、黒い物体をめがけて飛行する蚊を開口部47まで誘導することができる。 The lattice 48 is also black. The black color of the blades 22, the front surface of the louver 44, and the lattice 48 is preferably a color having a lightness of 1 to 3 defined by, for example, the Munsell color system. As described above, since the blade 22 of the insect trap 41, the surface of the louver 44, and the collecting body 9 are formed in black, the entire opening 47 into which the exhaust gas flows is black, and the mosquito flying toward the black object Can be guided to the opening 47.
 回収箱32は、上側を開口した箱状の部品であり、捕虫器41の筐体2において下部に位置し、捕集体9の前面から鉛直下方向に落下した物体を受け止めることのできる位置に設置されている。 The collection box 32 is a box-shaped part having an open upper side, and is located at a lower part in the casing 2 of the insect trap 41 and is installed at a position where it can receive an object dropped vertically downward from the front surface of the collector 9.

 上記構成により、捕集体9で捕獲された飛翔性昆虫は、殺虫成分を嫌がり飛翔しようとする。飛翔性昆虫は、殺虫成分に触れて衰弱していることに加えて、送風装置6の排気流の影響を受けるため、ネットから飛び立つことができず、やがて回収箱32内に落下する。 に よ り With the above configuration, the flying insects captured by the collector 9 dislike the insecticidal components and try to fly. Since the flying insects are weakened by touching the insecticidal components and are affected by the exhaust air flow of the blower 6, they cannot fly off the net and eventually fall into the collection box 32.
 このように捕集体9に捕集された飛翔性昆虫は、重力によって落下し、回収箱32へと集められるために、捕集体9に捕集された飛翔性昆虫の死骸を都度清掃する必要がなく、メンテナンス性に優れた捕虫器を提供することができる。 Since the flying insects collected by the collector 9 fall by gravity and are collected in the collection box 32, it is necessary to clean the dead bodies of the flying insects collected by the collector 9 each time. Therefore, it is possible to provide an insect trap excellent in maintainability.
 (第5の実施形態)
 図4、図5において、捕虫器41は、ルーバー44の外周部46を淡色に着色しており、格子48を黒色に着色している。外周部46の色は、格子48の色に対してマンセル表色系で規定される明度を6以上大きくしている。
(Fifth embodiment)
4 and 5, in the insect trap 41, the outer peripheral portion 46 of the louver 44 is colored lightly, and the lattice 48 is colored black. The color of the outer peripheral portion 46 has lightness defined by the Munsell color system larger than the color of the lattice 48 by 6 or more.
 上記構成により、捕虫器41付近を飛行する蚊は、淡色の外周部46よりも黒色の格子48および捕虫器41の内部に止まろうとする。そこで、蚊は、格子48および捕虫器41の内部に近づくと、開口部47で排気流に吸引され、捕集体9上に捕集される。 According to the above configuration, the mosquitoes flying near the insect trap 41 try to stop inside the black lattice 48 and the trap 41 rather than the light-colored outer peripheral portion 46. Then, when the mosquito approaches the inside of the lattice 48 and the insect trap 41, the mosquito is sucked into the exhaust stream at the opening 47 and is collected on the collector 9.
 つまり、室内に濃色の物体が多い場合でも、外周部46の淡色に対して格子48および捕虫器41の内部は、蚊にとって視認性の高い配色となり、開口部47付近まで蚊を誘引することができる。これにより、蚊を捕集体9上に捕集することが容易にできる。 In other words, even if there are many dark objects in the room, the color of the lattice 48 and the inside of the insect trap 41 becomes highly visible to the mosquitoes with respect to the light color of the outer peripheral portion 46, and the mosquitoes are attracted to the vicinity of the opening 47. Can be. Thereby, mosquitoes can be easily collected on the collector 9.
 (第6の実施形態)
 本実施形態では、ガス状物質発生部52を備えた実施形態について説明する。本実施の形態の捕虫器51を図6に示す。なお、第1の実施形態から第5の実施形態と同じ構成要件には同一番号を付し、詳細な説明は省略する。
(Sixth embodiment)
In the present embodiment, an embodiment including the gaseous substance generating unit 52 will be described. FIG. 6 shows an insect trap 51 according to the present embodiment. The same components as those in the first to fifth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted.
 第4の実施形態、第5の実施形態と同様に、本実施形態の捕虫器51は、部屋の壁面を貫通して取り付けられている。吸込口3は部屋の室内側に、排出口4は室外側に配置されている。筐体2に内蔵した送風ファン23は、捕虫器51の運転時に室内側から室外側へと向かう空気流を発生するものである。 同 様 Similar to the fourth and fifth embodiments, the insect trap 51 of the present embodiment is attached so as to penetrate the wall surface of the room. The inlet 3 is arranged on the indoor side of the room, and the outlet 4 is arranged on the outdoor side. The blower fan 23 built in the housing 2 generates an airflow from the indoor side to the outdoor side when the trap 51 is operated.
 図6に示すように、捕虫器51は、筐体2の上部にガス状物質発生部52を備えている。ガス状物質発生部52は飛翔性昆虫を誘引するガス状物質を発生させるものである。ガス状物質発生部52は、ガスボンベ53と、配管54と、噴出口55とを備えている。配管54は、ガスボンベ53から室内へガス状物質を導く流路である。噴出口55は、配管54の端部に形成した開口であって、筐体2の前面に配置している。 虫 As shown in FIG. 6, the insect trap 51 includes a gaseous substance generating section 52 on the upper part of the housing 2. The gaseous substance generating section 52 generates a gaseous substance that attracts flying insects. The gaseous substance generating section 52 includes a gas cylinder 53, a pipe 54, and an ejection port 55. The pipe 54 is a flow path that guides a gaseous substance from the gas cylinder 53 to the room. The spout 55 is an opening formed at an end of the pipe 54 and is arranged on the front surface of the housing 2.
 上記構成において、捕虫器51を運転すると、送風ファン23の動作により、室内側から室外側へ向かう気流が発生する。また、ガス状物質発生部52のガスボンベ53から室内側へ、飛翔性昆虫を誘引するガス状物質が供給される。ガス状物質は配管54を通り、噴出口55から放出される。 In the above configuration, when the insect trap 51 is operated, an airflow from the indoor side to the outdoor side is generated by the operation of the blower fan 23. Further, a gaseous substance that attracts flying insects is supplied from the gas cylinder 53 of the gaseous substance generation section 52 to the indoor side. The gaseous substance passes through a pipe 54 and is discharged from a spout 55.
 ガス状物質が室内側に拡散することで、誘引ガスの濃度勾配を検知した室内の飛翔性昆虫が捕虫器1付近に誘引される。捕虫器51に近付いた飛翔性昆虫は、黒色に着色された捕集体9及び羽根22の回転する動きに誘引されて、さらに吸込口3に接近する。吸込口3では、室内側から室外側へ向かう気流が発生しているので、飛翔性昆虫は吸込まれて、捕集体9上に捕集される。 By diffusing the gaseous substance to the indoor side, the flying insects in the room that have detected the concentration gradient of the attracting gas are attracted to the vicinity of the insect trap 1. The flying insect approaching the insect trap 51 is attracted by the rotating movement of the collector 9 and the blade 22 colored in black, and further approaches the suction port 3. At the suction port 3, an airflow from the indoor side to the outdoor side is generated, so that the flying insects are sucked and collected on the collecting body 9.
 なお、発生させたガス状物質は、室内のガス濃度を上昇させることになるが、本実施の形態では、送風ファン23による排気を行っているため、ガス濃度の上昇を一定値に抑えることが可能である。 Note that the generated gaseous substance increases the gas concentration in the room. However, in this embodiment, since the exhaust is performed by the blower fan 23, the increase in the gas concentration can be suppressed to a constant value. It is possible.
 また、本実施形態では、ガス状物質発生部52で発生させるガス状物質を、二酸化炭素を含むものとした。吸血要求欲求が高い蚊に対する誘引物質として二酸化炭素以外の化合物も知られている。そのなかで二酸化炭素は最も拡散性の高い物質であり、室内全体に亘って誘引効果を発揮することができる。 In the present embodiment, the gaseous substance generated in the gaseous substance generating section 52 contains carbon dioxide. Compounds other than carbon dioxide are also known as attractants for mosquitoes that have a high desire to suck blood. Among them, carbon dioxide is the most diffusible substance, and can exert an attraction effect over the entire room.
 二酸化炭素の発生量や発生のタイミングとしては、捕集したい飛翔性昆虫の生態などを考慮して設定すればよい。一般的な吸血性を有する蚊の場合、好ましい発生量は、間欠発生時の休止時間も含めて、10mL/min~500mL/minである。さらに好ましい発生量は、100mL/min~500mL/minである。 The amount and timing of carbon dioxide generation may be set in consideration of the ecology of flying insects to be collected. In the case of a mosquito having a general blood-sucking property, a preferable amount of generation is 10 mL / min to 500 mL / min, including a pause during intermittent occurrence. A more preferable amount is from 100 mL / min to 500 mL / min.
 例えば、30mの室内で100mL/minの発生量で二酸化炭素を発生させ、同時に300m/hの風量で排気を行った場合、室内全体の二酸化炭素濃度上昇を15ppm程度に抑えながら、捕虫器1近傍の二酸化炭素濃度を局所的に上昇させることができ、捕虫器51付近への蚊の誘引量を増やすことが可能である。 For example, in a case where carbon dioxide is generated at an emission rate of 100 mL / min in a room of 30 m 3 and exhaustion is performed at an air flow of 300 m 3 / h, the trapping device is controlled while suppressing a rise in carbon dioxide concentration in the entire room to about 15 ppm. 1 can be locally increased, and the amount of mosquitoes attracted to the vicinity of the insect trap 51 can be increased.
 また、捕虫器51はガス状物質の放出と停止を交互に行うことも可能である。誘引ガスは常に一定量発生させた場合よりも、ヒトの呼吸のように発生量に変化をつけ場合に、蚊の誘引作用が向上することが知られている。したがって、放出と停止を交互に行うことは、同量のガス状物質を連続して放出する場合に比べて、高い効果で蚊を誘引することができる。 虫 Further, the trap 51 can alternately release and stop gaseous substances. It is known that the mosquito's attracting effect is improved when the amount of the attracted gas is changed, such as in human respiration, than when a constant amount is generated. Therefore, alternately releasing and stopping can attract mosquitoes with a higher effect than when releasing the same amount of gaseous substance continuously.
 尚、本実施形態では、発生させるガス状物質を二酸化炭素としたが、これに限定されるものではない。飛翔性昆虫の生態や特性に合わせて、誘引する効果の高いガス状物質を選定すればよい。例えば、ガス状物質には、乳酸、アンモニア、オクテノール等の、蚊を誘引するのに一定の効果があるとされている成分を加えてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the gaseous substance to be generated is carbon dioxide, but is not limited thereto. A gaseous substance having a high attracting effect may be selected according to the ecology and characteristics of the flying insect. For example, to the gaseous substance, components such as lactic acid, ammonia, and octenol, which are considered to have a certain effect in attracting mosquitoes, may be added.
 また、本実施形態では、ガス状物質発生部52の構成を特に限定するものではない。安全に必要な量のガス状物質を発生させることができる構成であれば、効果に差異はない。例えば、誘引成分を高圧ガスと共に充てんしたガスボンベを備える構成や、光触媒と接触した有機物に紫外(UV)光を照射することにより、前記有機物を分解し、ガス状物質を発生させる構成としてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the configuration of the gaseous substance generating section 52 is not particularly limited. There is no difference in the effect as long as the configuration can generate the required amount of gaseous substance safely. For example, a configuration in which a gas cylinder filled with an attraction component together with a high-pressure gas or a configuration in which an organic substance in contact with a photocatalyst is irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light to decompose the organic substance to generate a gaseous substance may be used.
 (第7の実施形態)
 本実施形態では、第6の実施形態の捕虫器に対して、別の形態について詳細に説明する。
(Seventh embodiment)
In the present embodiment, another embodiment of the insect trap of the sixth embodiment will be described in detail.
 図7および図8は本実施形態における捕虫器の図である。図7は捕虫器を示す側面断面図、図8は捕虫器を住宅に設置した際の概略図である。なお、実施の形態1から6と同一の構成要件には同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。 FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams of the trap according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a side sectional view showing the insect trap, and FIG. 8 is a schematic view when the trap is installed in a house. The same components as those in the first to sixth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 図7に示すように、捕虫器61は、蚊を誘引するガス状物質を発生させるガス状物質発生部62を備えている。本実施形態のガス状物質発生部62には、ガス状物質を室内へ供給する手段として、配管54と電磁弁63とガスボンベ64とを備えている。図8に示すように、ガスボンベ64は住宅の屋外へ設置されている。ガスボンベ64には配管54が接続されている。ガスボンベ64を住宅の屋外へ設置したことにより、実施の形態6のガスボンベ53に比べて容量の大きなものを備えることができる。配管54によって、ガスボンベ64内のガス状物質が室内側へ導かれている。配管54には、電磁弁63を介在させている。配管54の室内側に位置する末端は噴出口55となっている。本実施形態では、ガスボンベ64から供給するガス状物質に二酸化炭素が含まれることを考慮して、噴出口55は、筐体2の下方に配置している。 虫 As shown in FIG. 7, the insect trap 61 includes a gaseous substance generating unit 62 that generates gaseous substances that attract mosquitoes. The gaseous substance generating section 62 of the present embodiment includes a pipe 54, a solenoid valve 63, and a gas cylinder 64 as means for supplying the gaseous substance into the room. As shown in FIG. 8, the gas cylinder 64 is installed outside the house. A pipe 54 is connected to the gas cylinder 64. By installing the gas cylinder 64 outside the house, a gas cylinder having a larger capacity than the gas cylinder 53 of the sixth embodiment can be provided. The gaseous substance in the gas cylinder 64 is guided to the room side by the pipe 54. An electromagnetic valve 63 is interposed in the pipe 54. The end of the pipe 54 located on the indoor side is a spout 55. In the present embodiment, the ejection port 55 is disposed below the housing 2 in consideration of the fact that the gaseous substance supplied from the gas cylinder 64 contains carbon dioxide.
 上記構成において、捕虫器61を運転すると、回転モーター7および羽根22の動作により、室内側から室外側へ向かう気流が発生し、室内の空気が排気される。また、電磁弁63を開けると、噴出口55から室内側へ蚊を誘引するガス状物質が放出される。ガス状物質が室内側に拡散することで、ガス状物質に濃度勾配ができる。この濃度勾配を検知した蚊が捕虫器61付近に誘引される。捕虫器61付近に近付いた蚊は、黒色に着色された捕集体9に接近する。捕集体9の前面側には室内側から室外側へ向かう気流が発生しているので、蚊は、捕虫器61内へ向けて吸込まれ、捕集体9上に捕集される。 In the above configuration, when the insect trap 61 is operated, the operation of the rotary motor 7 and the blades 22 generates an airflow from the indoor side to the outdoor side, and the indoor air is exhausted. Further, when the electromagnetic valve 63 is opened, gaseous substances that attract mosquitoes from the ejection port 55 to the indoor side are released. When the gaseous substance diffuses into the room, a concentration gradient is formed in the gaseous substance. Mosquitoes that detect this concentration gradient are attracted to the vicinity of the insect trap 61. The mosquito approaching the vicinity of the insect trap 61 approaches the collector 9 colored black. Since an airflow from the indoor side to the outdoor side is generated on the front side of the collector 9, the mosquitoes are sucked into the insect trap 61 and collected on the collector 9.
 また、発生させたガス状物質は、室内のガス濃度を上昇させることになるが、第6の実施の形態と同様に、捕虫器61による排気を常に行っているため、ガス濃度の上昇を一定値に抑えることが可能である。 The generated gaseous substance increases the gas concentration in the room. However, as in the sixth embodiment, the gas trapped by the insect trap 61 is constantly exhausted, so that the gas concentration is kept constant. It can be reduced to a value.
 また、本実施の形態では、ガス状物質発生部62で発生させるガス状物質を、二酸化炭素を含むものとした。蚊の誘引物質として知られる化合物のうち、二酸化炭素は最も拡散性の高い物質であるので、室内全体に亘って蚊の誘引効果を発揮することができる。特に、噴出口55を筐体2の下方に配置しているので、空気よりも重い二酸化炭素が室内の壁を伝わって下方に移動する過程で、送風ファン23によって筐体2内へ吸い込まれることなく、室内全体へ拡散し易くなる。 In the present embodiment, the gaseous substance generated in the gaseous substance generation section 62 contains carbon dioxide. Among the compounds known as mosquito attractants, carbon dioxide is the most diffusible substance, and therefore can exert an effect of attracting mosquitoes throughout the room. In particular, since the ejection port 55 is disposed below the housing 2, carbon dioxide heavier than air is sucked into the housing 2 by the blower fan 23 in the process of traveling downward along the indoor wall. And spread easily throughout the room.
 また、本実施の形態では、ガス状物質の放出と停止を交互に行うことも可能である。誘引ガスを常に一定量発生させた場合に比べて、ヒトの呼吸のように発生量に変化をつけて発生させた場合に、蚊の誘引作用が向上することが知られている。したがって、放出と停止を交互に行うことは、同量のガス状物質を連続して放出場合に比べて、高い効果で蚊を誘引することができる。 で は In the present embodiment, it is also possible to alternately release and stop the gaseous substance. It is known that the mosquito's attracting effect is improved when the amount of the attracted gas is generated with a change in the amount of the generated gas, as in the case of human respiration, as compared with the case where a constant amount of the attracted gas is always generated. Therefore, alternately releasing and stopping can attract mosquitoes with a higher effect than when releasing the same amount of gaseous substance continuously.
 ガス状物質の放出と停止を交互に行う運転方法において、ガス状物質を間欠的に発生させる構成としては、例えば電磁弁63に加えてタイマー(図示せず)を備えればよい。タイマー制御により電磁弁63の開放と閉鎖を交互に繰り返すことにより、実施することができる。 運 転 In the operation method of alternately releasing and stopping the gaseous substance, as a configuration for generating the gaseous substance intermittently, for example, a timer (not shown) may be provided in addition to the electromagnetic valve 63. This can be implemented by alternately repeating opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 63 by timer control.
 以上のように、捕虫器は、吸込口と排出口とを有した筐体を備えている。また、筐体内には、風路と回転体と送風装置とを備えている。吸込口は、室内の気体を筐体内に導入するものである。排出口は、筐体内に流入した気体を筐体外へ排出するものである。風路は、吸込口から排出口へ気体が流すものである。送風装置は、風路内に吸込口から排出口へ向かう気流を発生させるものである。回転体は、回転モーターの軸に取り付けられている。風路内で、回転体は、回転モーターの回転と連動して回転することができる。また、吸込口には捕集体が備えてあり、捕集体は回転体の上流側に配置されている。捕集体は、回転体の動きが視認できる透過性を有しているので、回転体は、吸気口の外側から少なくとも一部が視認できる。また、捕集体は、飛来した飛翔性昆虫を捕捉する捕集性を有している。回転体と捕集体の色の明度は、少なくとも一方が5以下である。 As described above, the insect trap has a housing having a suction port and a discharge port. Further, an air path, a rotating body, and a blower are provided in the housing. The suction port is for introducing the gas in the room into the housing. The outlet is for discharging the gas flowing into the housing to the outside of the housing. The air path is a path through which gas flows from the suction port to the discharge port. The blower generates an airflow from an inlet to an outlet in an air passage. The rotating body is attached to a shaft of a rotating motor. In the air passage, the rotating body can rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating motor. The suction port is provided with a collecting body, and the collecting body is arranged on the upstream side of the rotating body. Since the collector has transparency so that the movement of the rotating body can be visually recognized, at least a part of the rotating body can be visually recognized from outside the intake port. Moreover, the collector has a trapping property for trapping flying insects. At least one of the luminosity of the rotator and the collector is 5 or less.
 これにより、明度が5以下の回転体または捕集体が暗い物体に止まる性質を持つ蚊などの飛翔性昆虫を捕虫器まで誘引することができる。更に、回転体の動きが、特に動物への吸血要求欲求が高い蚊などの飛翔昆虫を高い効果で誘引することができる。そして、吸込口から排出口へ流れる気流と共に、回転体に接近した飛翔性昆虫を吸引することができるので、捕集体で飛翔性昆虫を捕集することができる。 に よ り This makes it possible to attract flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have the property that the rotating body or the catcher having a brightness of 5 or less stops on a dark object, to the insect trap. Furthermore, the movement of the rotating body can attract flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have a particularly high demand for blood-sucking to animals, with a high effect. Since the flying insect approaching the rotating body can be sucked together with the airflow flowing from the suction port to the discharging port, the flying insect can be collected by the collector.
 また、捕虫器は、回転体がプロペラ形状であり、送風装置の羽根を兼ねたものとしてよい。 虫 In addition, the insect trap may be such that the rotating body has a propeller shape and also serves as a blade of a blower.
 これにより、回転体と送風装置の羽根を別々に設ける必要がなくなるので、コンパクトな捕虫器を提供することができる。また、羽根とは別体として回転体を配置した場合に比べて、回転体の空気抵抗が少なくなり、送風装置はスムーズに風を流すことができるため、誘引した飛翔性昆虫を高い効率で捕集することができる。 This eliminates the need to separately provide the rotating body and the blades of the blower, so that a compact insect trap can be provided. Also, compared to the case where a rotating body is arranged separately from the blades, the air resistance of the rotating body is reduced and the blower can flow the wind smoothly, so the attracted flying insects can be captured with high efficiency. Can be gathered.
 また、捕虫器は、捕集体の上流側における風速が1m/秒以上とすれば好ましい。 虫 In addition, the insect trap preferably has a wind speed of 1 m / sec or more on the upstream side of the collector.
 これにより、捕虫器に誘引された飛翔性昆虫は、風の流れに逆らえずに捕集体に捕集されやすくなる。更に、捕集体に捕集された飛翔性昆虫は、捕集体から逃れようと再度飛翔しても、送風装置が発生する排気流の影響を受けて捕虫器外へと逃げることができなくなる。すなわち、送風装置が発生する排気流によって、飛翔性昆虫が再び室内へ飛翔することを抑制することができる。 Thus, flying insects attracted to the trap become more likely to be trapped by the collector without opposing the flow of the wind. Furthermore, even if the flying insects collected by the collector fly again to escape from the collector, they will not be able to escape to the outside of the insect trap under the influence of the exhaust flow generated by the blower. That is, it is possible to suppress the flying insect from flying back into the room by the exhaust air flow generated by the blower.
 また、捕虫器は、捕集体に殺虫成分を含有または担持してもよい。 虫 In addition, the insect trap may contain or carry an insecticidal component in the collector.
 これにより、捕集体上に捕集された飛翔性昆虫が再度飛翔しようとしても、殺虫成分により衰弱して逃げることができず、捕集した飛翔性昆虫が再び室内へ飛翔することが抑制される。 As a result, even if the flying insects collected on the collector attempt to fly again, they are weakened by the insecticidal component and cannot escape, and the collected flying insects are prevented from flying again indoors. .
 また、捕虫器は、捕集体が略垂直に配置され、捕集体の下方に回収部を備えたものとしてもよい。 虫 The insect trap may be configured such that the trapping body is disposed substantially vertically, and the collection unit is provided below the trapping body.
 これにより、捕集体に捕集された飛翔性昆虫は、重力によって落下し、回収箱へと集められる。捕集体に捕集された飛翔性昆虫の死骸を都度清掃する必要がなく、メンテナンス性に優れた捕虫器を提供することができる。 This causes the flying insects collected by the collector to fall by gravity and be collected in the collection box. It is not necessary to clean the dead bodies of the flying insects collected by the collector each time, and it is possible to provide an insect trap excellent in maintenance.
 また、捕虫器は、吸込口近傍に飛翔性昆虫を誘引するガス状物質を発生させるガス状物質発生部を備えたものとしてもよい。 捕 The insect trap may be provided with a gaseous substance generating section for generating a gaseous substance that attracts flying insects near the suction port.
 明度の低い捕集体や回転体は、主に飛行中の飛翔性昆虫を誘引することができる。また、誘引性のあるガス状物質は、室内の壁面や床に止まっている蚊をガスの濃度の高い方向へと誘引することができる。ガス状物質を用いて止まっている蚊を飛び立たせた上で、回転体によって、捕虫器へと誘引させるという連携的な効果を発揮することができる。さらに、ガス状物質は室内に拡散して、濃度勾配を形成するため、捕虫器から離れた場所であっても、捕虫器付近まで飛翔性昆虫をおびき寄せることができる。 低 い The low-brightness collectors and rotating bodies can mainly attract flying insects in flight. In addition, the attractable gaseous substance can attract mosquitoes remaining on the wall surface or floor in the room in the direction of high gas concentration. The mosquito that has stopped using the gaseous substance can be taken off, and the rotating body can exert a cooperative effect of being attracted to the insect trap. Further, since the gaseous substance diffuses into the room to form a concentration gradient, the flying insect can be attracted to the vicinity of the insect trap even at a place away from the insect trap.
 また、請求項7に係る捕虫器は、ガス状物質発生部が電磁弁を備え、ガス状物質を間欠的に発生させるものとしてもよい。 In the insect trap according to the seventh aspect, the gaseous substance generating section may include an electromagnetic valve to intermittently generate the gaseous substance.
 生物の呼吸が断続的なものであることから、ガス状物質を間欠的に発生させることで、特に動物への吸血要求欲求が高い蚊などの飛翔昆虫を高い効果で誘引することができる。ガス状物質を間欠的に発生させることは、連続発生の場合よりも高い確率で蚊を誘引し捕集することができる。 か ら Since the respiration of living organisms is intermittent, intermittent generation of gaseous substances can attract flying insects such as mosquitoes, which have a particularly high need for blood sucking to animals, with a high effect. The intermittent generation of gaseous substances can attract and collect mosquitoes with a higher probability than in the case of continuous generation.
 伝染病を媒介する蚊などの飛翔昆虫を除去する捕虫器として有用である。 で It is useful as a trap to remove flying insects such as mosquitoes that transmit infectious diseases.
