AI Technical Summary
Existing rat traps cannot prevent the Chinese mole rat from triggering an alarm after being captured, which reduces their trapping ability. Furthermore, the failure to dispose of dead rat carcasses in a timely manner affects the use of the device and prevents continuous trapping.
A trap was designed that includes a capture chamber, a collection chamber, a guide chamber, and a lure chamber. The passage is closed by a guide plate and a drive component. Non-toxic bait is used to attract Chinese mole rats into the lure chamber. After the closing component is triggered, the rats are guided into the capture chamber. Combined with toxic bait, continuous capture is achieved, and the carcasses are collected.
This technology enables continuous capture of Chinese mole rats and convenient disposal of their carcasses, improves the trapping ability of the trap, avoids the issuance of alarm messages, and ensures the continuous and effective use of the device.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of rodent trapping devices, specifically a trap for the control of the Chinese mole rat. Background Technology
[0002] The Chinese mole rat is a major rodent pest in agricultural, pastoral, and forestry areas, distributed in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, and Sichuan provinces and autonomous regions of China. It prefers to inhabit deep, loose soil, and is more prevalent on shady slopes than sunny slopes. It lives a life of seclusion, is active both day and night, and is most active during the breeding season and before winter when storing food. It is photophobic and avoids wind, and prefers to eat the juicy, tender roots and tubers of plants, sometimes also consuming the stems, leaves, and other above-ground parts. Seeds are dragged into burrows for food. In areas with few natural predators, Chinese mole rats will multiply rapidly and steal crop seedlings and seeds, harming crop growth. When food is scarce, they will gnaw on the roots, bark, and seedlings of newly planted and young forests, causing huge economic losses to forestry. Because Chinese mole rats are secretive and highly vigilant, direct poisoning is ineffective. Therefore, rat traps are needed to lure and capture them.
[0003] Existing rodent traps mostly use a combination of bait and traps to kill Chinese mole rats. Although the structure is simple and effective, it cannot prevent the Chinese mole rats from sending alarm signals to their kind after being captured. While killing the Chinese mole rats directly at the time of capture can prevent them from sending alarm signals, the dead rats must be disposed of in time after they die quickly. Otherwise, it will affect the reuse of the rodent trap and will also make other Chinese mole rats fearful and vigilant, resulting in a decrease in the overall continuous trapping ability of the rodent trap. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a trap for the control of the Chinese mole rat, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0025] This invention has the following advantages: The trap guides the Chinese mole rat into its interior through a guide chamber. Initially, the first and second channels are open, and the Chinese mole rat moves inward via a rocker arm. A guide sealing plate then guides the rat into the bait chamber. As the rat moves into the bait chamber, it triggers a closing component, which in turn drives a drive component. This drive component moves the guide sealing plate upward, closing the first and second channels. At this point, the rocker arm's trajectory changes, and healthy bait is released into the bait chamber through a second feeding cylinder. The activity components provide entertainment for the Chinese mole rats in the lure chamber, allowing them to attract other Chinese mole rats from outside. Once these other Chinese mole rats re-enter the lure chamber, they will move to the capture chamber and be captured. The Chinese mole rats in the capture chamber are captured into the collection box before they can trigger an alarm signal. The Chinese mole rats and poisoned bait fall into the collection box together. The Chinese mole rats in the lure chamber can maintain a continuous attraction, thus achieving continuous capture of Chinese mole rats. Meanwhile, the carcasses of the captured Chinese mole rats are left in the collection box for unified recycling and disposal. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0034] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4A trap for controlling the Chinese mole rat includes a capture chamber 1, a collection chamber 3, a guide chamber 4, and a lure chamber 5. The capture chamber 1 has a first slot 101 on one side of its top and a second slot 102 on the other side of its bottom. A trap plate 103 is located in the center of the inner cavity of the capture chamber 1. One end of the trap plate 103 is rotatably connected to one inner wall of the capture chamber 1, and the other end is connected to the other inner wall of the capture chamber 1 via an elastic rope 104. The trap plate 103 is positioned between the first slot 101 and the second slot 102. A guide plate 105 is located below the trap plate 103, with one end connected to the inner wall of the capture chamber 1. The guide plate 105 facilitates the trapping of the Chinese mole rat. The contents are fed downwards into the collection frame 301. The collection chamber 3 is located on the side of the capture chamber 1. The inner cavity of the collection chamber 3 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the capture chamber 1 through the second slot 102. The collection chamber 3 contains a collection frame 301 that can be pushed into the capture chamber 1. The top of the collection frame 301 is provided with a handle 302 for easy dragging. A plastic strap is provided inside the collection frame 301 for easy collection. A cover plate 303 is detachably installed on the top of the collection chamber 3. The guide chamber 4 is open at both ends. One end of the guide chamber 4 is installed on the periphery of the first slot 101. The top of the end of the guide chamber 4 near the first slot 101 is provided with a first through groove 403. The inner cavity of the other end of the guide chamber 4 is provided with a rocker plate 401. The lure chamber 5 is installed on the guide chamber 4. At the top of chamber 4, the guide chamber 4 and the capture chamber 1, and the lure chamber 5 and the capture chamber 1, can be connected and fixed with bolts. The Chinese mole rat is a subterranean rat, spending most of its time underground and rarely venturing above ground. It is photophobic and prefers dark environments. Its habit of promptly sealing its burrow openings is utilized for trapping. In use, the burrow opening is cut vertically downwards, a pit is dug in the ground, and the lower part of the capture chamber 1, the collection chamber 3, the guide chamber 4, and the lure chamber 5 are all buried in the pit, with the guide chamber 4 and lure chamber 5 aligned with the burrow opening. The entire trap is installed within the Chinese mole rat's usual activity range. The lure chamber 5 has a second through-slot 501 at its bottom end near the capture chamber 1, directly above the first through-slot 403. The other end of the lure chamber 5 has an opening... A first filter plate 503 is provided, and a slot 502 is provided at the end of the lure chamber 5. The first filter plate 503 is horizontally inserted into the slot 502. A guide sealing plate 6 is provided in the first through groove 403 and the second through groove 501. The bottom of the guide sealing plate 6 can support one end of the rocker 401. When the guide sealing plate 6 moves upward, it can close the first through groove 403 and release the support on one end of the rocker 401. A drive assembly 7 is provided in the lure chamber 5 and on the side of the second through groove 501 near the capture chamber 1. The drive assembly 7 is used to drive the guide sealing plate 6 to move upward. A trigger sealing assembly 8 is provided in the lure chamber 5 and on the side of the second through groove 501 away from the capture chamber 1.The top of the trigger-closing component 8 is connected to the top of the driving component 7. The trigger-closing component 8 is used to trigger the operation of the driving component 7 and prevent the Chinese mole rat from escaping the bait chamber 5. A first feeding cylinder 2 is installed on the top of the capture chamber 1. The first feeding cylinder 2 is used to put poisonous bait into the capture chamber 1. The poisonous bait is made by mixing rodenticides such as bromadiolone with onions, wheat, potatoes, apples, carrots, etc. A second feeding cylinder 11 is installed on the top of the end of the bait chamber 5 away from the capture chamber 1. The second feeding cylinder 11 is used to put non-toxic bait into the capture chamber 1. The Chinese mole rats in the bait chamber 5 remain alive to attract other Chinese mole rats.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 The middle part of the rocker arm 401 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the guide chamber 4 via a first connecting shaft 402. A counterweight 406 is installed at the bottom of the end of the rocker arm 401 away from the capture chamber 1. The weight of the counterweight 406 is less than the weight of the Chinese mole rat. The counterweight 406 keeps the rocker arm 401 tilted initially. When the Chinese mole rat moves onto the rocker arm 401 and keeps the rocker arm 401 horizontal, the end of the rocker arm 401 near the capture chamber 1 rests on the bottom of the guide sealing plate 6. When the guide sealing plate 6 moves upward, the rocker arm 401 rotates, and the end of the rocker arm 401 near the capture chamber 1 can move downward to contact the inner bottom surface of the guide chamber 4. The guide sealing plate 6 is Z-shaped. The middle part of the guide sealing plate 6, the inner wall of the first through groove 403 near the capture chamber 1, and the second through groove 501 are connected. The inner wall of the trap chamber 1 is inclined. The drive assembly 7 includes a movable rod 701 and an elastic element 702 sleeved around the movable rod 701. The movable rod 701 is inclined and has the same inclination as the middle of the guide closure plate 6. The top of the lure chamber 5 is provided with a first cylindrical hole 505. The top of the movable rod 701 is inserted into the first cylindrical hole 505. The bottom end of the elastic element 702 is connected to the top end of the guide closure plate 6. The top end of the elastic element 702 is connected to the inner top surface of the lure chamber 5. The first Chinese mole rat entering the guide chamber 4 moves along the guide closure plate 6 and passes through the first through groove 403 and the second through groove 501 into the lure chamber 5. Then it continues to move deeper into the lure chamber 5 (the end of the lure chamber 5 away from the trap chamber 1) and triggers the closing assembly 8.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3The trigger-closing assembly 8 includes a flip-up mesh plate 801, a traction rope 803, and a pin 804. The flip-up mesh plate 801 is located on the right side of the second through slot 501. The top of the flip-up mesh plate 801 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the lure chamber 5 via a second connecting shaft 802. The top of the flip-up mesh plate 801 near the movable rod 701 is connected to one end of the traction rope 803. A limiting plate 507 is fitted onto the upper part of the flip-up mesh plate 801 near the movable rod 701. The end of the limiting plate 507 is connected to the inner wall of the lure chamber 5. The limiting plate 507 allows the flip-up mesh plate 801 to rotate only to the side away from the capture chamber 1. A slanted slot 506 is provided at the top of the lure chamber 5 and above the limiting plate 507. One end of the traction rope 803 passes through the slanted slot 506. The slot 506 is connected to one end of the pin 804. A positioning hole 703 is provided on one side of the top of the movable rod 701 and the part outside the temptation chamber 5. The other end of the pin 804 is inserted into the positioning hole 703. In order to prevent the pin 804 from being dislodged from the positioning hole 703 by external factors, a protective frame 9 is detachably installed on the top of the temptation chamber 5. The protective frame 9 surrounds the pin 804 and the inclined slot 506. A second cylindrical hole 902 is provided on the top of the protective frame 9. The top of the movable rod 701 is inserted into the second cylindrical hole 902. A controller 901 is also installed in the protective frame 9. The controller 901 includes a power supply and a remote signal receiving device. The first feeding cylinder 2 and the second feeding cylinder 11 are connected to the controller 901 by wiring to facilitate feeding control by electrical signals.
[0037] Example 2: See Figure 2 , Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the active component 10 includes a vertical plate 1001 installed on the inner bottom surface of the lure chamber 5 and an inclined plate 1002 installed on the top of the vertical plate 1001. The inclined plate 1002 is inclined downward away from the flipping mesh plate 801. One end of the inclined plate 1002 is located close to the bottom of the flipping mesh plate 801. A running belt 1003 is provided on the top of the inclined plate 1002. A ramp 508 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the lure chamber 5 and directly below the flipping mesh plate 801. The bottom end of the ramp 508 is located close to the second through groove 501, and the top end of the ramp 508 is located close to the top end of the inclined plate 1002. The ramp 508 facilitates the Chinese mole rat to push the flipping mesh plate 801 and move it onto the inclined plate 1002.
[0038] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6The upper half of the running belt 1003 is provided with a guardrail 1004. The two ends of the guardrail 1004 are connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the lure chamber 5. Two baffles 1005 are symmetrically connected to the side of the guardrail 1004 near the flip-up net plate 801. Lure bait is placed between the two baffles 1005 on the guardrail 1004. When the Chinese mole rat moves in front of the flip-up net plate 801, it can smell the odor of the lure bait through the flip-up net plate 801, thereby enticing the Chinese mole rat to move forward and push the flip-up net plate 801. After the Chinese mole rat comes into contact with the lure bait, the flip-up net plate 801 also remains vertical under its own gravity, and the Chinese mole rat cannot push the flip-up net plate 801 from the other side. The second feed cylinder 11 feeds the Chinese mole rat intermittently to ensure that the Chinese mole rat stays in the lure chamber 5.
[0039] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 A second filter plate 504 is provided at the bottom of the end of the lure chamber 5 furthest from the capture chamber 1. The second filter plate 504 is located near the bottom of the inclined plate 1002. A third slot 404 is provided at the top of the guide chamber 4 and directly below the second filter plate 504. Non-toxic bait, fed through the second feed cylinder 11, falls onto the inclined plate 1002 and then down the inclined plate 1002 onto the second filter plate 504. When the Chinese mole rats in the lure chamber 5 eat, the bait is filtered through the first filter plate 503 and then by the external... The Chinese mole rat observed that food residue during feeding would fall along the second filter plate 504 and the third slot 404 to the entrance of the guide chamber 4, guiding the Chinese mole rats from the outside into the guide chamber 4 and moving along the rocker arm 401. A cotton pad 405 is provided on the side of the third slot 404. When the rocker arm 401 is rotated by the Chinese mole rat, the end of the rocker arm 401 away from the capture chamber 1 tilts upward and touches the cotton pad 405. The cotton pad 405 reduces noise and avoids startling the Chinese mole rats.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 The bottom end of the first feeding cylinder 2 is connected to a feeding pipe 204. A control valve 205 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 204. A drive component 202 and a feed inlet 201 are installed at the top of the first feeding cylinder 2. A stirring rod 203 is installed in the inner cavity of the first feeding cylinder 2. The output end of the drive component 202 is connected to the top of the stirring rod 203. The drive component 202 drives the stirring rod 203 to rotate, ensuring that the bait and rodenticide are mixed evenly. The feeding is carried out by opening and closing the control valve 205. The structure of the second feeding cylinder 11 is the same as that of the first feeding cylinder 2, but the size of the second feeding cylinder 11 is smaller than that of the first feeding cylinder 2.
[0041] Working principle: After the capture chamber 1, collection chamber 3, guide chamber 4, and lure chamber 5 are installed, press down on the movable rod 701 until the top and bottom of the guide sealing plate 6 are flush with the inner bottom surface of the lure chamber 5. Insert one end of the pin 804 into the positioning hole 703, then install the protective frame 9. Place the lure bait on the enclosure 1004. The Chinese mole rat enters through the entrance of the guide chamber 4 and walks towards the rocker arm 401. As the Chinese mole rat moves, the rocker arm 401 remains horizontal, with the end of the rocker arm 401 near the capture chamber 1 resting on the guide sealing plate 6. Then, the Chinese mole rat comes to the flipping screen 801 and observes the lure bait through the flipping screen 801. The Chinese mole rat will then push the flip-top mesh 801 to move further into the lure chamber 5. As the flip-top mesh 801 rotates, it pulls the traction rope 803, which in turn moves the pin 804. When the end of the pin 804 disengages from the positioning hole 703, the guide sealing plate 6 tilts upwards due to the elastic force of the elastic element 702. Because the guide sealing plate 6 moves upwards at an angle, it also experiences a horizontal positional deviation. This positional deviation ensures that when the rocker arm 401 rotates later, the end of the rocker arm 401 closest to the lure chamber 5 is not obstructed. When the Chinese mole rat comes into contact with the lure... After the bait is applied, the flipping net plate 801 falls under its own weight. The limiting plate 507 prevents the flipping net plate 801 from being pushed away by the Chinese mole rat, trapping the rat inside the lure chamber 5. Non-toxic bait is then introduced through the second feeding cylinder 11 to provide the Chinese mole rat with food. The rat can play on the running belt 1003 to attract other rats. Once attracted, the rats enter the guide chamber 4 and move along the rocker arm 401. At this point, the guide sealing plate 6 has moved upwards and closed the first passage 403. The rats can only move forward along the guide chamber 4 and pass through the first opening 101 into the capture chamber 1, where they are then fed through the first feeding cylinder 2. Place an appropriate amount of poisonous bait on the trap plate 103. When the Chinese mole rat eats the poisonous bait, it will trigger the trap plate 103 and fall downwards into the collection box 301. The Chinese mole rat will die after eating the poisonous bait for a period of time. This cycle is repeated to continuously capture the Chinese mole rat. By removing the cover plate 303, the collection box 301 can be dragged into the collection chamber 3 using the handle 302. Then, the collection box 301 can be lifted upwards and removed. The Chinese mole rat in the lure chamber 5 can be removed by removing the first filter plate 503. Then, the collection box 301 can be reset in the capture chamber 1 for use, and new Chinese mole rats can be set up for lure.

A drive assembly is disposed inside the lure chamber and located on the side of the second through slot near the capture chamber. The drive assembly is used to drive the guide enclosure plate to move upward. A trigger-closing component is installed inside the lure chamber and located on the side of the second passage away from the capture chamber. The top of the trigger-closing component is connected to the top of the drive component. When the Chinese mole rat triggers the trigger-closing component, the trigger-closing component drives the drive component to operate. The drive component drives the guide sealing plate to move up, which can close the first passage, thereby preventing the Chinese mole rat from escaping the lure chamber. The first feeding cylinder is installed on top of the capture chamber and is used to feed toxic bait into the capture chamber. The second feeding cylinder is installed on top of the end of the lure chamber away from the capture chamber. The second feeding cylinder is used to feed non-toxic bait into the lure chamber. A second filter plate is provided at the bottom of the end of the lure chamber away from the capture chamber, and a third slot is provided at the top of the guide chamber and directly below the second filter plate. When the Chinese mole rats inside the lure chamber are eating, they can be observed by the external Chinese mole rats through the first filter plate. At the same time, food residue will fall down along the second filter plate and the third slot to the entrance of the guide chamber, guiding the external Chinese mole rats into the guide chamber and moving along the rocker. At this time, the guide sealing plate has moved up and closed the first through slot. The external Chinese mole rats can only move forward along the guide chamber and pass through the first slot to enter the capture chamber.
