Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to rodent-catching devices, specifically an electrically controlled rodent trap. Background Technology

[0002] Non-contact and non-entry-based mousetraps are fundamental characteristics of excellent concealed mousetraps. Existing concealed mousetraps all employ electrically controlled mesh flapping technology to achieve non-contact and non-entry-based mousetraps, such as the Chinese utility model patent CN204670221U. Although their mouse-catching effect is excellent, their large size, complex structure, high environmental requirements, and high price make them difficult to use in ordinary households. Furthermore, their high price raises concerns about theft, preventing widespread outdoor or field use, thus severely limiting the applicability and social impact of this excellent mousetrap. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art and provide a mousetrap that can significantly reduce the size of the mousetrap and the production cost without affecting the mousetrap efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] This invention provides a two-way invisible mousetrap, comprising a main body for supporting a cable mechanism; the main body includes a top plate and a support member for supporting the top plate; the top plate can also be a plate-like body such as a mesh plate or perforated plate; the cable mechanism is connected to a sling for catching mice; the cable mechanism is connected to a sensor for collecting mouse signals via a control circuit, and the cable mechanism tightens the sling to lock the mouse in place when the sensor detects a mouse signal; the number of slings is two sets, each set having at least one sling, the two sets of slings are arranged along the direction of mouse movement, and the sensor is located between the two sets of slings; the portion of each sling located below the top plate forms a frame shape to make the sling invisible to mice passing under the top plate, making it difficult for the mice to detect.

[0006] It also includes a cable junction that is directly or indirectly connected to the top plate, with the portion of each cable located above the top plate passing through the cable junction and connected to the cable mechanism.

[0007] The sling junction includes a plate disposed above and connected to the top plate; the plate has a junction hole; the top plate on both sides of the junction hole (along the direction of the mouse's movement) has sling holes for the sling to pass through.

[0008] The cable mechanism can be a motor A.

[0009] The cable mechanism may also include a power mechanism for tightening the cable when the sensor detects a mouse signal, and a control mechanism for locking the power mechanism in the initial state and releasing the power mechanism when the sensor detects a mouse signal.

[0010] The power mechanism may be a torsion spring that is directly or indirectly connected to the sling at one end. The control mechanism includes a control card B for locking the end of the torsion spring connected to the sling, and a motor B for releasing the torsion spring by the control card B when the sensor detects a mouse signal, so that one end of the torsion spring quickly springs up to tighten the sling.

[0011] The power mechanism may also be a heavy object suspended at a high place. The control mechanism includes a control card C for keeping the heavy object at a high place, a motor C or other power source (such as an electromagnet) for releasing the heavy object to fall and tighten the sling when the sensor detects a mouse signal.

[0012] The sensor (through-beam type) is located in the lower middle part of the support.

[0013] The sensor (pyroelectric infrared sensor) is mounted on the side of the top plate facing the ground.

[0014] When in use, the lower part of the sling is in close contact with the ground, and the length of the sling in close contact with the ground is approximately equal to the width of the top plate.

[0015] The sling is made of flexible or rigid materials, such as steel wire, iron wire, cotton thread, plastic, various fiber threads or linear bodies, etc.

[0016] The present invention also provides a mousetrap (which can be used to catch mole rats), comprising a main body for supporting a cable mechanism; the cable mechanism is connected to a sling for catching rats; the cable mechanism is connected to a sensor for collecting rat activity signals via a control circuit, and the cable mechanism tightens the sling to lock the rat to the main body when the sensor detects a rat signal; the sling is in two sets, each set having one or more sensors, and the sensors are positioned in front of the two sets of slings along the direction of the rat's movement.

[0017] The present invention also provides a (single-rope) mousetrap, comprising a main body for supporting a cable mechanism; the main body includes a top plate and a support member for supporting the top plate; the cable mechanism is tractively connected to a cable for catching mice; the cable mechanism is connected via a control circuit to a sensor for collecting mouse activity signals, and the cable mechanism tightens the cable to lock the mouse to the main body when the sensor detects a mouse signal; the portion of the cable located below the top plate forms a frame shape to make the cable invisible to mice passing under the top plate (making it difficult for mice to detect).

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technological advancement of this invention lies in:

[0019] I. This invention makes full use of the super-system resources in the rodent-catching environment. When in use, walls, floors and common indoor objects such as cardboard boxes and oil bottles can be used as the left, right and bottom three sides of the rodent trap, which further improves the concealment of the rodent trap, thereby reducing the rats' vigilance and improving the rodent-catching effect.

[0020] Second, this invention improves upon the bulky electrically controlled mesh technology of existing invisible mousetraps by replacing it with a significantly smaller single / double sling technology. This allows for mouse trapping from both directions and drastically reduces the size of the invisible mousetrap. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces the space required for mouse trapping, increasing its applicability in various situations, and substantially reducing production costs. The low price and excellent performance make the widespread use of invisible mousetraps possible, thereby enhancing their social impact.

[0021] Third, this invention changes the existing invisible mousetrap technology, which has a large footprint and requires a flat site, to a double-suspension trap technology that has a small footprint and does not require a flat site. This further improves the usability of the invisible mousetrap in complex and confined outdoor environments, making it suitable not only for catching house mice, but also for catching various wild rodents such as field mice, mole rats, and bamboo rats.

[0022] Fourth, this invention is small in size and light in weight, making it easy to use on ceilings, in high places and narrow places (such as on beams or ropes), and even easier to use in precise locations (such as in cabinets) to save time in catching mice.

[0023] Fifth, when using existing contact or entry-type mouse traps and cages, mice typically take 7 to 20 days to come into contact with or enter the trap and be captured. In contrast, this invention captures mice in the vast majority of cases within minutes to half an hour, with a success rate exceeding 60% within half an hour. Its mouse-catching efficiency is hundreds of times that of contact or entry-type mouse traps.

[0024] VI. This invention is lightweight, small in size, and inexpensive, making it easy to use over a large area simultaneously and for one person to carry and use multiple rat traps. In today's context where the country is vigorously restricting the production of chemical rodenticides and promoting the application of physical rat trapping methods in order to control pollution, the invention of this inexpensive, high-performance, environmentally friendly, fast, and efficient physical rat trap undoubtedly has great practical and social significance.

[0044] Figure 1 , Figure 2 The image shows an embodiment of the present invention: a motor-driven, direct-pull, double-suspension, concealed mousetrap. The main body 7 includes a top plate 7a and a support member 7b for supporting the top plate; the support member 7b includes four support rods: two front support rods and two rear support rods. A motor A2 is connected to the suspension cables for catching mice; the motor A2 is connected to a sensor 12 for collecting mouse activity signals via a control circuit 3. The control circuit 3 is connected to a power supply 4. When the sensor detects a mouse signal, the cable mechanism tightens the suspension cables to lock the mouse to the top plate 7a. There are two suspension cables: cable 10A1 and cable 10B1. Cables 10A1 and 10B1 are arranged along the direction of mouse movement, and the sensor 12 is positioned between cable 10A1 and cable 10B1. Sensor 12 is a through-beam infrared sensor, including an infrared emitting tube 1201 located in the lower part of the front support rod 7b01 and an infrared receiving tube 1202 located opposite the infrared emitting tube in the lower part of another front support rod 7b02. A lower crossbar 8 is provided at the lower part of the front support rod for movably connecting the sling. Sling retainers 17 for fixing the sling 10 are provided at both ends of the lower crossbar 8. A retainer 17 is also correspondingly provided under the top plate 7a. The retainer 17 can be made of adhesive, double-sided tape, a magnetic material, or other substances or objects that can movably connect the sling 10.

[0045] In use, first place one side of the mousetrap against a wall. On the other side, place a barrier between the front and rear suspension cables, with a length equal to (or greater than) the distance between the front and rear suspension cables 10. This prevents mice from passing between the suspension cables on the side of the mousetrap and triggering the sensor, thus causing an invalid action. Then, connect the power supply 4, and the mousetrap will enter working mode. When a mouse passes the sensor, motor A2 starts under the control of control circuit 3, quickly tightening the suspension cables 10 and suspending the mouse under the main body 7. After removing the mouse, repeat the above setup.

[0046] At once Figure 1In this design, mice can enter the mousetrap from either the left or right side, and it can capture them regardless. A sling junction 9 is provided on the top plate 7b. The sling junction includes a plate positioned above and connected to the top plate, with junction holes 22 on this plate. Sling holes 23 for the slings to pass through are provided on the top plate on both sides of the junction holes (along the direction of mouse movement). The portion of each sling located above the top plate 7a passes through the sling junction and connects to the motor A2. To a mouse, this mousetrap appears as a single, safe object (top plate 7a), so it will pass under this object without suspicion and be captured without touching or entering the trap.

[0047] Figure 3 In the second embodiment of the present invention, the slings are divided into two groups, A and B, and the sensor 12 is disposed between the two groups of slings. Group A includes two slings: sling 10A1 and sling 10A2. Group B includes two slings: sling 10B1 and sling 10B2. The two groups of slings, A and B, can be arranged symmetrically (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown in the figure), it can also be set asymmetrically.

[0048] Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment of the invention, four support members 7b are installed at the lower part of the four corners of the top plate 7a. The sensor 12 is an infrared pyroelectric sensor, which is installed on the side of the top plate 7a facing the ground. The upper end of each sling 10 passes through its corresponding sling hole 23 and the junction hole 22 on the sling junction 9 and is connected to the motor drive.

[0049] Figure 6 In Embodiment 4 of the present invention, the main body 7 includes a top plate 7a and a support member 7b for supporting the top plate; a cable mechanism is connected to a sling for catching mice; the cable mechanism is connected to a sensor 12 for collecting mouse activity signals via a control circuit 3, and the cable mechanism tightens the sling to lock the mouse to the top plate 7a when the sensor detects a mouse signal. The cable mechanism includes a power mechanism for tightening the sling when the sensor detects a mouse signal, and a control mechanism for locking the power mechanism in the initial state and releasing the power mechanism when the sensor detects a mouse signal. The power mechanism is a weight 21 suspended at a high position, and the control mechanism includes a control card C15 for keeping the weight 21 at a high position, and a motor C18 for releasing the weight 21 to fall and tighten the sling when the sensor detects a mouse signal. The control card C15 is connected to a control rod C16, and the control rod C16 is connected to the motor C18 via a connecting wire.

[0050] Figure 7 , Figure 8In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, a torsion spring 13 is provided on the top plate 7a. The torsion spring 13 is connected to the top plate 7a via a spring holder 14. One end of the torsion spring 13 is a lifting arm 13Z and the other end is a stationary arm 13A. A control card B6 for clamping the end of the lifting arm 13Z of the torsion spring 13 is rotatably connected to the sling junction 9 (the control card B6 can also be connected to the top plate 7a). The control card B6 is传动连接 to the motor B5 via a control rod B11. The control rod B11 serves as a lever. The motor B5 is connected to the control circuit 3. The motor B5 is arranged at a position near the edge of the top plate 7a to avoid the ejection position of the middle torsion spring lifting arm. The number of slings is two, arranged along the direction of the mouse's movement. The sensor 12 is arranged between the two slings 10. Two sling holes corresponding to the two slings are provided on the top plate 7a: one sling hole 23A is in a "匚" shape, and the other sling hole 23B is two long grooves arranged in parallel. The two sling holes arranged like this can clamp the slings when the spring bounces up and pulls the slings, effectively preventing the slings from being pulled out of the sling holes. The upper ends of each sling pass through their respective corresponding sling holes 23 and the junction holes 22 on the sling junction and are connected to the lifting arm 13Z of the torsion spring 13. When the sensor 12 detects a mouse signal, the motor B5 pulls the control rod B11 via the connecting line 20 to make the control card B6 rotate and release the torsion spring 13, and the lifting arm of the torsion spring 13 lifts up and tightens the sling.

[0051] A safety hole 25 is provided on the top plate 7a. The safety buckle 24 is movably inserted into the safety hole 25, and is used to limit the control rod B11 when setting up and moving the mouse trap to prevent the torsion spring 13 from accidentally bouncing up, thus ensuring safety. Another main function of the safety buckle 24 is to help the sling 10 pass through the junction hole 22 and the sling hole 23 conveniently when setting up the sling 10. The safety buckle 24 restricts the movement of the control rod B11 to prevent the torsion spring 13 from accidentally bouncing up when setting up the sling 10.

[0052] The sling is connected to the lifting arm of the torsion spring 13 (at the position closest to the junction hole 22 on the sling junction 9 when the lifting arm has not bounced up).

[0053] It should be noted that the word "传动连接" in the original text seems to be a misspelling or an incomplete expression. I tentatively translated it as "connected", but it may need to be adjusted according to the correct technical term.The function of the sling confluence 9 is to increase friction to prevent rats from escaping, coordinate the movement distance of the front and rear slings 10, and facilitate the connection of the slings 10. The function of the sling hole 23 is twofold: first, to keep the position of the double slings 10 unchanged during movement; and second, to tighten the double slings 10 to prevent rats from escaping. The double slings 10 positioned on both sides of the sensor give the rat trap a two-way rat-catching function, which has three major advantages: first, it can catch rats entering from both directions, reducing capture time and increasing efficiency; second, the double slings positioned one in front and one behind make it impossible for rats, regardless of their speed, to escape the rat trap, thus improving the success rate of rat catching; and third, it avoids the situation where rats are too fast or too slow and trigger the sensor without being caught when using a single sling rat trap, becoming frightened and no longer falling for the trap, or even using the dangerous object to socially communicate with other rats, thus increasing their vigilance against such objects and reducing the success rate of rat catching.

[0054] Figure 9 In the middle, the portion of each sling located below the top plate forms a frame to make the slings invisible to rats passing under the top plate, making them difficult for rats to detect.

[0055] Figure 10 , Figure 11 When sensor 12 detects a mouse signal, motor B5 pulls control lever B11 via connecting cable 20, causing control card B6 to rotate and release torsion spring 13. The lifting arm 13Z of torsion spring 13 quickly springs up, tightening sling 10. Sling 10 then traps the mouse and suspends it securely under the top plate 7a. The length of the sling should ensure that, when the mouse is suspended and locked under the top plate 7a, the angle between the lifting arm 13Z and the stationary arm 13A is greater than 90°, preferably greater than 135°. The larger the angle between the lifting arm 13Z and the stationary arm 13A, the lower the likelihood of the mouse escaping (i.e., the more difficult it is for the mouse to pull the lifting arm 13Z to break free of the sling; the mouse cannot pull the sling and therefore cannot escape).

[0056] Figure 12 In the fifth embodiment of this invention, when using it, first press the lifting arm 13Z of the torsion spring into the control card B6 and secure it. Insert the safety buckle 24 into the safety hole 25. Then, put the joint of the double suspension cable 10 onto the lifting arm 13Z. Pass the lower end of the double suspension cable 10 through the confluence hole 22 and the suspension cable hole 23. Then, pull the double suspension cable 10 apart to both ends and fix it to the suspension cable retainer 17 under the top plate 7a. Connect the two sides of the lower part of the double suspension cable 10 to the suspension cable retainer 17 on the lower crossbar of the support member 7b. Place one side of the mousetrap against the wall and place a blocking object 1 (such as a board, cardboard box, etc.) close to the other side. It is best to place a transparent blocking object, such as a small square wine bottle, with a length approximately equal to the distance between the front and rear suspension cables. Finally, after checking that the settings are correct, turn on the power and pull out the safety buckle 24. The mousetrap will then enter the working state.

[0057] Figure 13 In this embodiment, embodiment six is ​​most suitable for catching mole rats. Its structure is similar to that of embodiment five. A torsion spring 13 is provided on the top plate 7a, and the torsion spring 13 is connected to the top plate 7a via a spring frame 14. The upper end of each sling passes through its corresponding sling hole 23 and the junction hole 22 on the sling junction and connects to the torsion spring 13. A control card for locking the torsion spring 13 is rotatably connected to the sling junction 9. The control card is connected to the motor drive via a control rod. The control rod acts as a lever. The motor is connected to the control circuit 3, and the control circuit 3 is connected to the sensor 12 and the power supply 4. There are two slings, arranged along the direction of the rat's movement. Unlike embodiment five, in this embodiment, the sensor 12 is arranged in front of the two slings 10 along the direction of the rat's movement (as shown by the arrow in the figure), so that the two slings can simultaneously lock a large and strong mole rat. A baffle 19 can be provided in front of the sensor 12, or it can be omitted. When sensor 12 detects a mouse signal, the motor pulls the control lever via the connecting wire to make the control card rotate and release the torsion spring 13. One end of the torsion spring 13 quickly springs up and tightens the sling.

[0058] When using Embodiment Six of this invention (Simple One-Way Spring-Type Invisible Mousetrap) to catch mole rats, dig a pit at the exit of the mole rat's underground tunnel, just big enough to fit the mousetrap. Place one end of the mousetrap's sling towards the inside of the mole rat's hole and the other end of the sensor towards the hole's entrance. Turn on the power and cover the top of the mousetrap with a thin layer of loose soil. For mousetraps without a baffle 19, completely seal the end of the mousetrap away from the sling (i.e., the end facing the mole rat's hole) with clods of soil and loose soil. According to the mole rat's habits, it will come to open the hole immediately. When the mole rat passes the sensor after passing the sling, the power mechanism is activated under the control of the control circuit 3. The control lever B11 moves, causing the control card B6 to rotate. The torsion spring 13 is released and bounces up, pulling the double slings 10 upwards, suspending the mole rat under the top plate 7a. Because this mousetrap can capture live mole rats, it helps preserve and increase the economic value of mole rats. This will encourage people to actively capture them. Furthermore, because this mousetrap is inexpensive, small in size, and lightweight, it is easy to use simultaneously over a large area and for one person to carry and use multiple mousetraps. Therefore, it has great practical value and social significance for controlling grassland rodent pests on a large scale.

[0059] This rat trap can be used flexibly according to the different characteristics of field mice, bamboo rats, weasels in poultry farms, or other harmful rodents when it is necessary to catch them.

[0060] Regardless of the type of mousetrap used, the torsion spring should always be released when not in use to ensure safety and effectively maintain the spring's elasticity.

[0061] Figure 14In the circuit, when the potential of the non-inverting input terminal 3 of the comparator is higher than that of the inverting input terminal 2, the output terminal 1 outputs a high level; when the potential of the inverting input terminal 2 is higher than that of the non-inverting input terminal 3, the output terminal 1 outputs a low level.

[0062] When the infrared emitting diode is always on, and the infrared receiving diode is receiving data, it pulls the voltage low at the non-inverting input of the comparator, causing the comparator to output a low level. If there is an obstacle between the infrared emitting diode and the infrared receiving diode, comparator 3 will be at a high level, and the comparator will output a high level.

[0063] When the comparator output terminal 1 outputs a high level, the field-effect transistor is turned on, and the motor is powered on and rotates.

[0064] R3 is an adjustable resistor used to adjust the input voltage at the inverting input terminal of the comparator, thereby adjusting the sensitivity of the comparator.

[0065] R1 and R2 are current-limiting resistors.

[0066] C1 is a capacitor to reduce external interference to the infrared receiver.

[0067] Figure 15 This describes the method for using an inverted mousetrap when catching rodents in the wild. To use, after setting up the sling 10, place the mousetrap upside down in the ditch-shaped rodent trail. Cover the mousetrap and the trails on both sides with natural objects such as broken soil, twigs, leaves, vegetable scraps, and grass. Then connect the power supply.

[0068] When using a mousetrap upside down, ensure the control lever remains flexible and secure it with wire or rope to prevent wild rats from dragging it away.

[0069] When a rat passes by the trap, a motor activates to tighten the cable (or a torsion spring is used to lift and tighten the cable), locking the rat to the trap. Because rats are very wary of man-made objects, the trap should be covered with camouflage as much as possible.

[0070] Figure 16 , 17 This is a method for catching mice on beams, ropes, discarded power lines, and long poles when the mousetrap is inverted. In many cases, mice prefer to walk on power lines, ropes, and thin poles; this mousetrap effectively solves the problem of catching mice on power lines and poles.

[0071] In use, a horizontal bar 27 (for stabilizing the mousetrap) is horizontally crossed on a beam, power line, or long pole 26, and secured to the pole 26 to prevent swaying. 28 serves as the lower support for the pole 26. After setting the mousetrap's suspension cable 10, the mousetrap is placed upside down on the horizontal bar 27 and the pole 26. The mousetrap is then connected to the horizontal bar 27 and the pole 26 using wire or rope to prevent it from falling. When using the mousetrap upside down, ensure the control lever and control clip in the locking mechanism remain freely movable. After setup, connect the mousetrap to the power supply. When a mouse passes by the mousetrap, the motor starts, tightening the suspension cable 10 (or using a torsion spring to tighten the cable), locking the mouse to the trap. The mouse's struggle may cause it to fall; therefore, the connecting materials should be of sufficient strength. To prevent the mouse from bending forward and failing to trigger the sensor 12, a pad 29 can be provided for the mouse to step on, so that the mouse's body is raised and enters the sensor's sensing range.

[0072] Figure 18 In this invention, Embodiment Seven is a simple, concealed mousetrap with a single-suspension cable and a motor-driven direct pull. The difference from Embodiment One is that this embodiment uses only one cable, making its structure simpler and less expensive than the double-suspension cable version, but its mouse-catching effect is far inferior to the double-suspension cable mousetrap.
