Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device equipped with an electric insect repellent device for preventing the invasion of pests such as cockroaches that gather in a kitchen, a dining room, a food storage room, and the like.

Structures of conventional examples and their problems Most conventional electric insect repellent devices are constructed as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 1 includes an insulating base material 3 and a pair of electric shock electrodes 6, 6 disposed substantially parallel to each other on the upper surface of the insulating base material 3 with a gap 4 therebetween. However, a voltage of about 10 to 30 volts is applied to these electrodes 6, 6 by a dry battery 7.

It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. Now, when the insect 8 tries to climb the wall 2 and its legs straddle the gap 4 and touch the electrode 6.6, a voltage is applied to the insect 8 and a current flows inside its body, causing a severe electric shock. As a result, it bounces and falls downwards. Therefore, the insects 8 cannot advance beyond the insect control device 1. Therefore, such a device can prevent the invasion of pests.

However, if such an insect repellent device is installed in the storage 9 as shown in FIG.
In many cases, the insects hit the front of the insect repellent device, or water droplets splash onto the front surface of the insect repellent device, damaging the electrodes 5 and 6.
6 becomes short-circuited, the battery 7 becomes exhausted, and the electrodes 5,
There was a problem in that the insect repellent function could not be properly performed because the voltage between the terminals 6 and 6 would drop.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes into account the above-mentioned conventional problems and aims to provide an electric insect repellent device that can always effectively perform its insect repellent function.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes a storage space, a closing member that covers the storage space, and a pair of electrodes disposed at positions of the closing member opposite to each other around the entire periphery of the storage space. and a power supply device that applies a voltage between the electrodes, thereby separating the storage space from the electrodes and preventing short circuits between the electrodes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a storage device main body having a storage space 12, and a door 13 is rotatably attached to the storage device by a hinge 14, and this door 13 is a closing member that closes the storage space 12.

A voltage of about 10 volts is applied to a pair of electrodes 15 disposed at the door 13 facing the entire periphery of the storage space by a dry battery 16.

In the above configuration, suppose that you are trying to store an article, for example, a pot, in the storage space 12 and accidentally bump the pot against the front of the storage device main body 11. However, as shown in Figure 3, since the electrode 16 is provided on the door 13 side, which is an opening member, the pot does not touch the electrode 16, so the electrode 15 is not short-circuited, and unnecessary battery consumption is avoided. Prevent, defend,
Damage to the electrode 16 can be prevented.

Although water is still often used in kitchens and the like for washing dishes, etc., even if water droplets fly and adhere to the front surface of the storage device main body 11, the electrodes 16 will not be short-circuited. Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in which a drawer 18 is provided as a main body of the storage device having a storage space 17 in a drawer frame 19 which is a closing member so as to be freely put in and taken out, and 5. A pair of electrodes 20 and a dry battery 21 for applying voltage to the electrodes 2o are provided on the upper surface of the drawer frame 19. In this case, even when the drawer 18 is pulled out from the drawer frame 19, the electrode 20 is not exposed to the outside, and the electrode 2o can be reliably protected, and there is still very little chance of water droplets or dust adhering. .

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the storage device with an insect repellent device according to the present invention prevents the installed electrode surface from being damaged by contact with articles, etc., and also prevents short circuits.
It can perform a normal insect repellent function and has great value.
