Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for exterminating pests of electric carpets used for floor heating.

(Prior art) As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-50816, for example, an electric carpet used for this type of floor heating is made by folding the electric carpet body with the surfaces facing each other, so that the surface of the electric carpet body is A pest extermination method has been proposed in which the rug is kept in a closed state and the operation of a heating element is controlled so that the surface temperature of the rug reaches the pest extermination temperature for a certain period of time.

(Kunjiku to be solved by the invention) However, in such pest extermination methods, since the heating element of the electric carpet body is only placed on one surface, it is impossible to exterminate pests on the back side. It is. In addition, especially when the electric carpet body with a dirt prevention cover is folded up for extermination, folding it in two is the limit, which takes up space and is a nuisance.

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional electric carpet pest extermination method as described above, and it is possible to almost completely exterminate pests on both the front and back sides of the carpet body and carpet cover. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for exterminating electric carpet pests that requires only a small space for extermination.

"Structure of the Invention" (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rollable carpet body having a heating element, and a rollable carpet body laid on the upper surface of the carpet body. A rollable carpet cover is provided, and the carpet cover is superimposed on the carpet throat main body, and the carpet cover is wound inside the carpet throat cover (to a length of 1 m). In the carpet cover, in which the heating element is controlled to be energized so as to maintain the same temperature, when the carpet cover is rolled, a part of the starting side of the carpet cover is rolled up in advance so that the surface is inward, or by folding it back. In the electric carpet pest extermination method, the carpet main body covers the end of the winding end of the carpet.

(Function) A part of the carpet cover at the beginning of rolling is rolled up or folded back so that it is on the front side or inside. Next, align the ends of the carpet throat main body and the carpet cover on the winding start side, overlap the carpet cover on the carpet throat main body, and wind it so that the carpet cover is on the inside, so that the carpet throat main body is aligned with the wrapping start side of the carpet cover. 6.Next, in this rolled state, the heating element is energized so that it reaches the exterminating temperature for a certain period of time to kill pests on both the front and back sides of the carpet body and carpet cover. exterminate.

(Performance l! Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the method for exterminating electric carpe throat pests of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

First, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entirety of this embodiment.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a carbe throat body, and a heating element 2 is disposed inside the carbe throat body 1. 3 is a controller provided at a corner of the carpet body 1, which controls the heating element 2.
This is to control the energization. Reference numeral 4 denotes a carpet cover for stain prevention, which is used by being laid on the upper surface of the carpet body 1.

Then, the carpet main body l and the carpet cover 4
As shown in FIG. 2, it is formed so that it can be wound multiple times in the longitudinal direction, so that it has an elongated cylindrical shape. By the way, the carpet body 1 for 3 tatami mats costs 240 ca x 20
0 am', carpet cover 4 is 246 x 206
The size is cm.

The controller 3, as shown in FIG.
a temperature control means 5 for controlling the temperature of the carpet, a normal use temperature setting means 6 for setting the temperature during normal use, a medium extermination temperature setting means 7 for setting the temperature for exterminating pests in the carpet body 1; A timer 8 starts at the same time as the operation starts at the extermination temperature, and automatically stops energizing the heating element 2 after a predetermined period of time, and during normal use, power is supplied to the normal use temperature setting means 6 to exterminate pests. In some cases, it is composed of a switch 9 for switching the power supply to the medium extermination temperature setting means 7. 10 is temperature control means 5
and a power source connected to the switch 9.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

In normal use, as shown in Fig. 1, the carpet cover 4 is laid on the carpet body 1 with the carpet body 1 unfolded, and power is supplied to the normal use temperature setting means 6 with the switch 9 to set the temperature. The temperature of the heating element 2 is controlled by the temperature control means 5 based on each temperature determined.

Next, when exterminating pests, as shown in FIG. Roll it up so that the rolled end and the end of the carpet main body 1 are aligned, and in this state, roll the second
When the carpet cover 4 is rolled up so that the surface thereof is on the inside as shown in the figure, the carpet body 1 will cover the end of the carpet cover 4 on the winding end side. Then, it is tied and fixed using, for example, a string 11.11. In this state, operate the switch 9 to switch the power supply destination from the normal use temperature setting means 6 to the medium pest extermination temperature setting means 7 and the timer 8.
At the same time, the timer 8 is used to set the pest extermination time. In this case, the pest extermination temperature is such that the surface temperature of the carpet cover 4 is at least 45° C., and the pest extermination time is one hour or more.

As a result, at the same time as the timer 8 starts counting time, the temperature control means 5 starts controlling the temperature of the heating element 2 at the temperature set in the pest control temperature setting means 7. Then, when the timer 8 finishes counting the predetermined time,
The temperature control means 5 stops energizing the heating element 2 and ends pest extermination.

By exterminating pests in this way, the conventional two
Compared to the pest control method that involves folding the carpet,
Since most of both the front and back surfaces of the carpet cover 4 are caught, the pests have no place to escape, and it is possible to almost completely exterminate the pests on both the front and back surfaces. In addition, since the carpet body 1 and the carpet cover 4 have an elongated cylindrical shape, the installation space for exterminating pests can be small. Furthermore, a part of the carpet cover 4 on the winding start side is rolled up in advance so that the surface is inward, and then the carpet cover 4 is superimposed on the carpet body by aligning the ends of the carpet body 1 and the carpet cover 4 on the winding start side. Then, wrap the carpet so that the carpet cover 4 is on the inside, and then wrap the carpet body 1.
Since the carpet cover 4 covers the end of the carpet cover 4 at the end of wrapping, pests can be exterminated without the end of the carpet cover 4 protruding from the carpet gutter body 1.

Also, the one shown in Fig. 5 is the carpet cover 4 shown in Fig. 4.
This method involves wrapping a part of the starting side of the material so that the surface is inside, while the other method involves folding it inward.This method is more effective than the wrapping method shown in Figure 4. The temperature of the folded part becomes higher, which further improves the pest control effect.

[Effect of the invention 1] According to the present invention, the carpet cover is polymerized onto the carpet body, and the carpet cover is wound on the inside, and in this rolled state, heat is generated for a certain period of time to reach the old used extermination temperature. Since the electric current is controlled through the body, it is possible to almost completely exterminate pests on both the front and back sides of the carpet itself and the carpet cover, and moreover, it is possible to provide a method of exterminating pests from electric carpets that requires only a small space for extermination. .

In addition, when winding the carpet cover, the part of the carpet cover at the beginning of the roll is rolled up in advance so that it is on the inside or the outside, or by folding it back, so that the end of the carpet cover at the end of the roll is covered by the carpet body. It is possible to exterminate pests without the end of the cover protruding from the carpet body.
