Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the maintenance of rugs, tatami mats, etc., and particularly for the control of mites, mold killing, sterilization and reproduction of mites living on rugs, tatami mats, etc. The present invention relates to such acaricide equipment.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, mites and molds that live on carpets and tatami mats have been collected by vacuum cleaners or sun-dried outdoors called insect pests for sterilization of mites.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Generally, carpets and tatami mats are liable to accumulate dust in the home, dandruff and food chips, and are apt to contain moisture due to their structure. As a result, mites are prone to breeding, and mold is also found, which easily becomes a hotbed for mites.

And mites are considered to be the primary cause of allergic diseases such as asthma, along with mold spores, including their dying and dung.
In addition, mold itself is not preferable in terms of hygiene, and especially when it has a habit of directly contacting the skin with a carpet or tatami as in Japan, it causes harm such as skin diseases.

In this way, a lot of mites and molds inhabit the carpets and tatami mats in the home, and the recent habit of general cleaning is disappearing. It is necessary to control these mites and mites, sterilization, and their reproduction. It can be said that there is.

What can be commonly said about these mites and molds is that they can be suppressed from dying or breeding by removing moisture, and as a result of the experiment, mites die less than 1 second at 50 ° C. or higher.

Focusing on this point, the present invention provides an apparatus for killing and dehumidifying the mites and molds that inhabit carpets and tatami mats.

Means for Solving the Problems The acaricidal device of the present invention guides hot air generated by a hot air generator capable of temperature control to a nozzle that forms a preheating chamber by surrounding the outer circumference with respect to the floor surface, It has a structure to eject to.

Operation According to the present invention, the hot air is blown to the floor surface from the nozzle having the preheating chamber formed on the floor surface by the above-mentioned structure, and the carpet,
It is possible to effectively blow hot air into the tatami mat, to kill the ticks that live on the carpet and tatami mat, and to suppress the breeding of mites and molds by producing the dehumidifying and drying effect.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a hot air generator capable of adjusting temperature, and its components include a blower fan 2, a motor 3 for driving the blower fan 2, and a heater 4 for heating air. Reference numeral 5 is a nozzle facing the floor surface, and 6 is a preheating chamber formed by surrounding the outer circumference of the nozzle with respect to the floor surface.

For example, in FIG. 1, 7 is a carpet, and when hot air is generated, this hot air is blown into the carpet 7 from the nozzle 5 and reaches the deep portion of the carpet.
In addition, the preheating chamber 6 provided in the present invention temporarily fixes the nozzle 5
The hot air blown into the carpet 7 circulates in the preheating chamber 6 and exits to the outside. When the machine is moved over the carpet 7, first, the carpet 7 is preheated in the preheating chamber, and the nozzle 5 moves to this position. When passing through, the hot air can be blown into the carpet 7 more effectively (because it is preheated, the temperature drop of the hot air can be blown less), increasing the operation speed and moving it out of the preheating chamber. The hot air that blows out is at a lower temperature because heat is efficiently exchanged with the carpet 7. Further, the temperature of the carpet 7 once warmed can be further connected by the preheating chamber 6 on the opposite side to the traveling direction, which is effective.

As described above, it is possible to efficiently kill the mite that inhabits on the carpet and tatami by blowing hot air, and at the same time, dehumidify and dry the carpet and tatami.

From the results of the experiment, it was found that the condition for killing the mites was not more than 1 second at 50 ° C., and that if the temperature was further increased, the mites were killed in a shorter time, and the effect is clear. However, if the temperature is too high, it will damage the carpet pile or tatami mat, and by using hot air with an appropriate temperature that does not damage the carpet or tatami mats above 50 ° C, effective and safe acaricide can be performed.

Next, another embodiment is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 is a ventilation hole provided in the preheating chamber 6 and the hot air generating device 1, and the hot air in the preheating chamber 6 can be reused.

By doing this, the heater input can be reduced by reusing the hot air that has once been blown into the carpet or tatami, and the hot air will not be exhausted into the room unnecessarily, and the efficiency of the carpet and tatami will be improved. It can be sucked in.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, hot air can be blown into carpets and tatami mats efficiently and easily, which enables miticidal and dehumidifying and drying, and can suppress the reproduction of mites and molds. .

In this way, now that the habit of general cleaning is disappearing, this machine can be substituted, and as a result, it becomes possible to keep the living environment hygienic.

When the carpet was washed at home, it was left to dry for several hours, but it can be dried in a short time by using this machine. As described above, the usefulness of this machine is extremely great.
