Abstract

Disclosed is a vortex-type insect trap (1), mainly consisting of an insect trap (10), a fan (20) and a mosquito control device (40). An insect trapping container is provided with a flow space (16) for mounting the mosquito control device (40), and the flow space (16) is provided with a flow guide wall face (161) capable of changing the air flow direction and can be in communication with the outside via an air suction inlet (14) and an air exhaust outlet (15). The fan (20) is assembled at the air suction inlet (14) and can suck air in the flow space (16) outwards, so that air outside the flow space (16) enters the flow space (16), and the air outside the flow space (16) can form a spiral air flow (A) flowing to a bottom end of the flow space (16) along the flow guide wall face (161). Therefore, when the fan (20) runs, mosquitoes are sucked into the flow space (16), so that the mosquitoes are driven by the spiral air flow (A) to move to the mosquito control device (40) and thus the mosquitoes are killed by the mosquito control device (40).

Description

Cyclone insect trap Technical field

The present invention relates to an insect trap, and more particularly to an insect trap that uses a cyclone to catch mosquitoes and kill mosquitoes.

Background technique

Comfortable and clean living environment is the goal pursued by modern people. However, in today's living environment, there are many insect organisms that are harmful to the environment and human health, such as mosquitoes, flies, etc. Among them, flies like corrupt food. And will stick the harmful substances on the corrupted food to another item, thus causing the flies to become a medium for spreading diseases, which in turn will bring a lot of infectious diseases to human beings. On the other hand, the mosquitoes will not only bite and suck the human blood, but also cause human skin. It causes redness and itching, and even many diseases such as dengue fever and malaria are transmitted through mosquitoes as a medium, which in turn poses great threat to people's safety in life.

In order to prevent the mosquitoes from transmitting the virus to humans, there are currently products on the market that have been shown to eliminate mosquitoes, such as flycatchers, fly-catching papers, insecticides, and mosquito coils. However, fly traps and fly-catching papers The method of trapping mosquitoes will cause the bodies of the mosquitoes to be exposed to the environment, which will not only hinder or even affect the sanitation. In addition, after using the fly paper for a period of time, it will not only be contaminated by dust and dirt in the air. The viscosity is reduced, and the effect of catching the mosquitoes is reduced. In order to prevent the flytrap from catching the mosquitoes, it is necessary to replace the new fly papers frequently, and the frequent replacement of the fly papers will result in waste of resources. In addition, insecticides and mosquito coils rely on gas to achieve the effect of culling or repelling mosquitoes. However, the gases produced by insecticides and mosquito coils also have adverse effects on human health, and they also have environmental problems, so many operators Continuously develop innovative mosquito traps.

At present, the common mosquito trapping devices are insect traps and insect traps. Among them, the traps use the light-rotating properties of mosquitoes, and a power grid layer is arranged around the lamp tube to make the mosquitoes fly toward the light pipe and touch the power grid layer. The current kills the mosquito by electric shock, and although the method of killing the mosquito has certain effect, the mosquito lamp has the lack of power consumption and safety concerns in use, and the insect trap is placed inside the bait. And the liquid that can quickly kill the mosquitoes, and the insect traps allow the mosquitoes to enter the insect trap through the bait, and then the mosquitoes are culled by the liquid. However, when the insect trap is actually used, the liquid is easily overturned and exposed, thereby causing environmental damage. Difficulties in pollution and cleaning up.

Summary of the invention

The main object of the present invention is to generate a cyclone inside the insect trap when the fan is in operation, so that the mosquito is vortexed and driven to the mosquito killing device, and the mosquito killing device can kill the mosquito, thereby achieving the effect of eliminating the mosquito.

A secondary object of the present invention is to ensure that mosquitoes do not fly out of the interior of the trap to the outside of the trap before the mosquito dies, thereby ensuring that the mosquito can be dried by the cyclone.

Another object of the present invention is that in the case where the fan is operated for a long period of time, the fan blades of the fan can prevent excessive accumulation of mosquitoes and dust, thereby improving the service life of the fan.

A mosquito killing device is disposed in the flow space of the mosquito trapping container for restricting mosquitoes in the flow space.

In a preferred embodiment, the opening direction of the air outlet is not perpendicular to the updraft, and the height of the air outlet is higher than the air inlet, and the spiral airflow is in the flow. The bottom of the space may flow from the outside to the inside to be converted into an ascending airflow flowing toward the exhaust vent, and the ascending airflow is in the center of the spiral airflow, and when the ascending airflow flows to the exhaust vent The fan can convert the ascending airflow into a first exhaust airflow intersecting the ascending airflow. In addition, the mosquito killing device is configured as an adhesive component capable of trapping mosquitoes or sticking to mosquitoes.

In another preferred embodiment, the air outlet is located at one of the front, rear, left and right sides of the insect trap, and the height of the air outlet is lower than the air inlet, so that the spiral airflow flows. When the air vent is to the air outlet, it is converted into a second exhaust airflow that is tangent to the spiral airflow. In addition, the mosquito killing device is set as a solution or a power grid capable of immediately killing mosquitoes.

In the foregoing two embodiments, the flow space is set to a tapered structure extending from the top of the insect trap container toward the bottom or a parallel column structure perpendicular to the top of the insect trap container, or the flow The moving space has more than five mutually adjacent flow guiding walls such that the cross-sectional appearance of the flowing space presents a polygon having five or more sides.

However, the tubular body has a plurality of mutually nested tubular members, each of which is capable of selectively changing the relative position to the other tubular members such that the moving opening can approach or be away from the combined opening.
