Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mousetrap equipment, and in particular to an intelligent mousetrap and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, stand-alone devices are gradually being eliminated, and the Internet of Everything has become the basic configuration required by equipment in all walks of life. The mousetraps on the market basically do not include networking functions. As a front-end device for sample capture or collection, the mousetrap is unattended most of the time. There is a certain probability that the capture is completed but the storage box is not replaced in time. It can be seen that the necessity of the mousetrap with communication function is obvious. In addition, the doors of existing mousetraps are mostly driven by motors. The speed of closing the door depends on the speed of the motor. Mice are very vigilant. In the process of the motor turning to drive the door to close, the noise of the motor and the slow closing speed will cause the mouse to escape from the mousetrap cage, resulting in capture failure. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an intelligent mousetrap and an application method thereof to solve the problem of low reliability of existing mousetraps.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent mousetrap, comprising: a capture cage, a drive mechanism, a traction mechanism, a sensor, a power supply module and a controller, wherein the controller is connected to the drive mechanism and the sensor; the traction mechanism is connected to the cage door of the capture cage; the drive mechanism comprises a movable part, and the drive mechanism is used to extend the movable part and embed it into the traction mechanism based on a door opening signal output by the controller, thereby driving the cage door to rise through the traction mechanism and keeping the cage door open; when the sensor detects that there is a sample in the capture cage, the controller controls the drive mechanism to retract the movable part and disengage the traction mechanism based on the sensor signal output by the sensor, so that the cage door falls and closes due to its own gravity; the power supply module is used to power the drive mechanism, the sensor and the controller.

[0005] The intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention can control whether the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism by controlling the moving parts of the driving mechanism to extend or retract: when it is necessary to open the door, the controller controls the moving parts of the driving mechanism to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and then controls the driving mechanism to rotate, so that the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism, driving the cage door to rise and open; when it is necessary to close the door, the controller controls the moving parts of the driving mechanism to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism, and the traction mechanism is no longer mechanically connected with the driving mechanism and can move independently, so that the cage door is no longer affected by the traction force of the traction mechanism and naturally falls and closes by its own gravity, and the closing speed is related to its own gravity and is not affected by the rotation speed of the driving mechanism, so as to avoid the mouse escaping from the capture cage due to too slow door closing, or the mouse escaping due to the noise of the driving mechanism rotating during the door closing process, thereby improving the capture success rate and the reliability of the mousetrap.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the driving mechanism also includes: a motor, wherein the motor is connected to the power supply module, the controller and the movable part; when there is a door opening signal, the motor controls the movable part to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and the motor rotates in a first direction to drive the traction mechanism to move, so that the cage door rises; when the sensor detects that there is a sample in the capture cage, the motor controls the movable part to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism based on the control signal output by the controller, and the motor rotates in a second direction, and the cage door falls and closes based on its own gravity; the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0007] The intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention has the advantages that when it is necessary to open the door, the controller controls the movable part to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and then controls the motor to rotate, so that the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the motor, and drives the cage door to rise and open; when it is necessary to close the door, the controller controls the movable part to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism, and the traction mechanism is no longer mechanically connected with the motor and can move independently, so that the cage door is no longer affected by the traction force of the traction mechanism and naturally falls and closes by its own gravity, and the closing speed is related to its own gravity and is not affected by the motor speed, so that the mouse can be prevented from escaping from the capture cage due to too slow door closing, or the mouse can be prevented from escaping due to the noise of the motor rotation during the door closing process, thereby improving the capture success rate and the reliability of the mousetrap.

[0008] In an alternative embodiment, the movable component comprises a solenoid valve.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the traction mechanism includes: a rotating tray and a traction rope, wherein the rotating tray is an annular structure, a plurality of grooves are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating tray, one end of the rotating tray is connected to one end of the traction rope; the other end of the traction rope is connected to the cage door; the motor is arranged in the annular hollow part of the rotating tray; when there is a door opening signal, the motor controls the movable part to extend out and embed into the groove of the rotating tray, the motor rotates in a first direction, and drives the rotating tray to rotate through the movable part, so that the traction rope contracts and drives the cage door to rise; when the sensor detects that there is a sample in the capture cage, the motor controls the movable part to retract and disengage from the groove of the rotating tray based on the control signal output by the controller, the motor rotates in a second direction, and the cage door falls and closes due to its own gravity.

[0010] In an alternative embodiment, the sensor comprises an infrared sensor.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the intelligent mousetrap also includes: a communication module, wherein the communication module is connected to the controller, the power supply module and the terminal; the controller is also used to record the capture information when the sensor detects that there is a sample in the capture cage and the cage door falls and closes due to its own gravity; the communication module is used to send a door opening signal to the controller and send the capture information to the terminal.

[0012] The intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention can send capture information to the terminal in time when a mouse is captured, and promptly remind the operator to perform sample analysis and other processing on the mouse, thereby improving the operator's efficiency in capturing mice, facilitating the operator to promptly replace the captured capture cage, and quickly and conveniently performing the intelligent integrated sampling and inspection process.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the intelligent mousetrap further includes: a counterweight block, wherein the counterweight block is fixedly connected to the cage door, and the counterweight block is used to increase the weight of the cage door.

[0014] The intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention further increases the deadweight of the cage door by means of a counterweight block, which, on the one hand, makes the cage door fall naturally faster, and on the other hand, prevents the cage door from being easily lifted up and escaped by mice after it is closed.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the intelligent mousetrap further comprises: an anti-escape pedal, and when the cage door falls and closes due to its own gravity, the anti-escape pedal falls and fixes the cage door.

[0016] The intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention has an anti-escape pedal that can automatically fall down and block the cage door after the cage door is closed, thereby preventing the mouse from opening the cage door and escaping.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an application method of an intelligent mousetrap, based on the controller of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof, the method comprising: controlling a driving mechanism and a communication module to perform self-inspection, and obtaining the self-inspection results of the driving mechanism and the communication module; when it is determined that the driving mechanism and the communication module are both in normal working state, obtaining a door opening signal and a sensor signal in real time, and when there is a sensor signal, it indicates that a sample has entered the capture cage; when a door opening signal is recognized, controlling the driving mechanism to extend a movable part and embed it into a traction mechanism, so that the driving mechanism drives the cage door to rise through the traction mechanism; when a sensor signal is recognized, controlling the driving mechanism to retract the movable part and disengage from the traction mechanism, so that the cage door falls and closes based on its own gravity.

[0018] The application method of the intelligent mousetrap provided by the present invention performs self-checking before the mousetrap is put into use, thereby reducing the failure rate during the use of the capture cage. By controlling the active parts of the driving mechanism to extend or retract, it is possible to control whether the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism: when the door needs to be opened, the controller controls the active parts of the driving mechanism to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and then controls the driving mechanism to rotate, so that the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism, driving the cage door to rise and open; when the door needs to be closed, the controller controls the active parts of the driving mechanism to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism, and the traction mechanism is no longer mechanically connected to the driving mechanism and can move independently, so that the cage door is no longer affected by the traction force of the traction mechanism and naturally falls and closes by its own gravity. The closing speed is related to its own gravity and is not affected by the rotation speed of the driving mechanism, so as to avoid the mouse escaping from the capture cage due to the door closing too slowly, or the mouse escaping due to the noise of the driving mechanism rotating during the door closing process, thereby improving the capture success rate and the reliability of the mousetrap.

[0019] In an optional implementation, before the process of controlling the driving mechanism and the communication module to self-check, it also includes: obtaining external communication messages to perform logic self-check. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can also be the internal connection of two components, it can be a wireless connection, or it can be a wired connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] This embodiment provides an intelligent mousetrap, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a capture cage 1, a driving mechanism 2, a traction mechanism 3, a sensor 4, a power supply module 5 and a controller 6, wherein the controller 6 is connected to the driving mechanism 2 and the sensor 4; the traction mechanism 3 is connected to the cage door 11 of the capture cage 1; and the power supply module 5 is used to supply power to the driving mechanism 2, the sensor 4 and the controller 6.

[0036] Figure 1 In the embodiment, the driving mechanism 2 comprises a movable part 21 .

[0037] Optionally, the movable part 21 can be a device that can be extended and retracted under the control of an electrical signal, such as a telescopic rod or a solenoid valve. The traction mechanism 3 can be a gear, a rotating disk with multiple grooves, etc., which can embed the movable part 21 and tightly connect with the movable part 21.

[0038] Figure 1 In the embodiment, the driving mechanism 2 is used to extend the movable part 21 and embed it into the traction mechanism 3 based on the door opening signal output by the controller 6, so as to drive the cage door 11 to rise through the traction mechanism 3 and keep the cage door 11 in the open state.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 In the embodiment, when there is no mouse in the capture cage 1, the sensor 4 does not send a sensing signal, and the controller 6 determines that the cage door needs to be opened to trap mice and sends a door opening signal, so that the driving mechanism 2 drives the movable part 21 to extend and connect with the traction mechanism 3 and embed into the traction mechanism 3. Then the driving mechanism 2 starts to move based on the door opening signal, and the movable part 21 moves accordingly and drives the traction mechanism 3 to move, so that the traction mechanism 3 applies traction force to the cage door 11 to lift the cage door 11 and open the passage for mice to enter the capture cage 1. When the driving mechanism 2 moves to the limit position, it stops. Since the movable part 21 is still embedded in the traction mechanism 3, the traction mechanism 3 is equivalent to being locked at this time, and continues to provide traction force to the cage door 11 so that the cage door 11 remains open.

[0040] Figure 1 When the sensor 4 detects that there is a sample in the capture cage 1, the controller 6 controls the drive mechanism 2 to retract the movable part 21 and disengage from the traction mechanism 3 based on the sensing signal output by the sensor 4, so that the cage door 11 falls and closes due to its own gravity.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1 In the embodiment, when the sensor 4 recognizes that a mouse has entered the capture cage, the sensor 4 sends a sensor signal to the controller 6, and the controller 6 determines that the cage door needs to be closed immediately and sends a door closing signal, so that the driving mechanism 2 drives the movable part 21 to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism 3, and the traction mechanism 3 is unlocked and can move freely, and no longer provides traction for the cage door 11, so that the cage door 11 falls rapidly based on its own gravity and drives the traction mechanism 3 to move in the opposite direction to restore the original state.

[0042] Optionally, when a door closing signal is received, the driving mechanism 2 drives the movable part 21 to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism 3, and then moves in the reverse direction to restore to the original state, in preparation for the next door opening.

[0043] The intelligent mousetrap provided in this embodiment can control whether the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism by controlling the active part of the driving mechanism to extend or retract: when it is necessary to open the door, the controller controls the active part of the driving mechanism to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and then controls the driving mechanism to rotate, so that the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism, driving the cage door to rise and open; when it is necessary to close the door, the controller controls the active part of the driving mechanism to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism, and the traction mechanism is no longer mechanically connected to the driving mechanism and can move independently, so that the cage door is no longer affected by the traction force of the traction mechanism and naturally falls and closes by its own gravity. The closing speed is related to its own gravity and is not affected by the rotation speed of the driving mechanism, so as to avoid the mouse escaping from the capture cage due to too slow door closing, or the mouse escaping due to the noise of the driving mechanism rotating during the door closing process, thereby improving the capture success rate and the reliability of the mousetrap.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 2 also includes: a motor 22, wherein the motor 22 is connected to the power supply module 5, the controller 6 and the movable part 21; when there is a door opening signal, the motor 22 controls the movable part 21 to extend and embed into the traction mechanism 3, and the motor 22 rotates in a first direction to drive the traction mechanism 3 to move, so that the cage door 11 rises; when the sensor 4 detects that there is a sample in the capture cage 1, the motor 22 controls the movable part 21 to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism 3 based on the control signal output by the controller 6, and the motor 22 rotates in a second direction, and the cage door 11 falls and closes based on its own gravity; the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0045] Figure 2 In the figure, the traction mechanism 3 includes: a rotating tray 31 and a traction rope 32, wherein the rotating tray 31 is an annular structure, a plurality of grooves are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating tray 31, one end of the rotating tray 31 is connected to one end of the traction rope 32; the other end of the traction rope 32 is connected to the cage door 11; the motor 22 is arranged in the annular hollow of the rotating tray 31.

[0046] Optionally, the movable component 21 is a solenoid valve.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 2In the embodiment, when no mouse enters the capture cage 1, the sensor 4 does not send a sensing signal, and the controller 6 outputs a door opening signal, so that the motor drives the electromagnetic valve to extend and connect with the rotating tray 31 and embed into one of the grooves of the rotating tray 31. Then, the motor 22 starts to rotate in the first direction based on the door opening signal, and the electromagnetic valve rotates synchronously and drives the rotating tray 31 to rotate in the first direction. Since the rotating tray 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the traction rope 32, the traction rope 32 is driven to contract and pull up the cage door 11. When the motor 22 rotates to the limit position, it stops, so that the rotating tray 31 also stops rotating and remains in the current position, which is equivalent to locking. At this time, the cage door 11 remains open.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 2 In the embodiment, when the sensor 4 recognizes that a mouse has entered the capture cage, the sensor 4 sends a sensing signal to the controller 6, and the controller 6 immediately outputs a door closing signal, so that the motor 22 drives the electromagnetic valve to retract and disengage from the groove of the rotating tray 31, and the rotating tray 31 is unlocked and can rotate freely. At this time, the cage door 11 falls rapidly due to its own gravity and stretches the traction rope 32 to drive the rotating tray 31 to rotate in the second direction and return to the initial state. At the same time, when the motor 22 drives the electromagnetic valve to retract and disengage from the groove of the rotating tray 31 based on the door closing signal, the motor 22 rotates in the second direction and returns to the initial state, waiting for the next door opening signal.

[0049] Optionally, the sensor 4 is an infrared sensor.

[0050] For example, Figure 3 The specific structure diagram of the intelligent mousetrap, wherein the capture cage 1, the cage door 11, the movable part 21, the motor 22, the rotating tray 31 and the traction rope 32 can be arranged according to Figure 3 The control principle of the arrangement shown will not be described in detail.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent mousetrap also includes: a communication module 7, wherein the communication module 7 is connected to the controller 6, the power supply module 5 and the terminal; the controller 6 is also used to record the capture information when the sensor 4 detects that there is a sample in the capture cage 1 and the cage door 11 falls and closes due to its own gravity; the communication module 7 is used to send a door opening signal to the controller 6 and send the capture information to the terminal.

[0052] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the communication module 7 is a 4G (GPS) module, which has filtering and surge protection functions to ensure the safe and stable operation of the communication module 7. The communication module 7 can cooperate with the controller 6 to output logic information, so that the controller 6 receives the serial communication information output by the communication module 7 to check whether the communication module 7 is in a normal working state, and whether the communication module 7 can correctly connect to the cloud platform through the established HTTP communication protocol.

[0053] For example, Figure 6 The USB signal input and output circuit is connected to the communication module 7 , and the operator can ensure normal real-time information transmission between the communication module 7 and the controller 6 through the USB signal input and output circuit.

[0054] For example, Figure 7 is the circuit diagram of the sensor, U2 is a hot-point infrared sensor, and the adjustable resistor R167 is used to configure the sensitivity of the U2 chip. The larger the resistance of the adjustable resistor R167, the lower the sensitivity of the U2 chip and the closer the sensing distance of the sensor; the smaller the resistance of the adjustable resistor R167, the higher the sensitivity of the U2 chip and the farther the sensing distance of the sensor.

[0055] For example, Figure 8 This is the circuit diagram of the power supply module. The step-down module is used in the power supply circuit to step down the system voltage, which can greatly reduce the surge generated by AC to DC. The battery can also be charged to meet the needs of carrying outside.

[0056] For example, Fig. 9 This is the circuit diagram of the controller. The STM32L151 chip is selected for data processing to reduce circuit power consumption and cost.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent mousetrap further includes: a counterweight block 8 , wherein the counterweight block 8 is fixedly connected to the cage door 11 , and the counterweight block 8 is used to increase the weight of the cage door 11 .

[0058] Specifically, Figure 4 The counterweight 8 can further increase the deadweight of the cage door 11, which can make the cage door 11 fall faster naturally on the one hand, and prevent the cage door 11 from being easily lifted up and escaped by mice after it is closed on the other hand.

[0059] Optionally, an anti-escape pedal can be provided on one side of the capture cage 1 near the cage door. When the cage door 11 falls and closes due to its own gravity, the anti-escape pedal falls and fixes the cage door 11. After the cage door 11 is closed, the anti-escape pedal can automatically fall and jam the cage door 11 to prevent the mouse from opening the cage door 11 and escaping.

[0060] This embodiment provides an application method of an intelligent mousetrap, based on a controller of the above embodiment or any corresponding implementation method thereof, such as Fig.10 As shown, the method includes:

[0061] Step S1: Control the driving mechanism and the communication module to self-check, and obtain the self-check results of the driving mechanism and the communication module.

[0062] Optionally, before the process of controlling the self-check of the driving mechanism and the communication module, it also includes: obtaining external communication messages to perform logic self-check.

[0063] Specifically, after the intelligent mousetrap is powered on, the controller controls the motor to drive the solenoid valve to extend, and after inserting into the groove of the rotating tray, the controller controls the motor to start self-test: the controller controls the motor to rotate in the first direction, and when the motor touches the limit switch and rotates back to the position in the second direction, the motor sends the self-test result to the controller, and the controller determines that the motor self-test is successful. If the motor does not touch the limit switch, indicating that the motor is faulty, the controller drives the motor again to control the solenoid valve to extend and repeats the subsequent detection steps until it is determined that the motor self-test is successful.

[0064] Specifically, after the motor self-test is successful, the controller and the communication module exchange data to determine whether the communication module is working properly. The peripheral sends the relevant communication message to the controller through the serial interface to perform LOG logic self-test, that is, after the controller sends a specified instruction to the peripheral, the peripheral replies to the controller with the corresponding reply instruction, and then the controller sends LOG logic information to the computer monitoring end and the communication module sending end. When the controller determines that the self-test is completed and the self-test is successful, it starts to enter the normal working process.

[0065] Step S2: When it is determined that the driving mechanism and the communication module are both in normal working state, the door opening signal and the sensor signal are obtained in real time. When there is a sensor signal, it indicates that a sample has entered the capture cage.

[0066] Step S3: When a door opening signal is identified, the driving mechanism is controlled to extend a movable part and embed into the traction mechanism, so that the driving mechanism drives the cage door to rise through the traction mechanism.

[0067] Step S4: When the sensor signal is recognized, the driving mechanism is controlled to retract the movable part and disengage from the traction mechanism, so that the cage door falls and closes due to its own gravity.

[0068] It should be noted that the control process involved in step S2 to step S4 is consistent with the content in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0069] The application method of the intelligent mousetrap provided in this embodiment performs self-checking before the mousetrap is put into use, thereby reducing the failure rate during the use of the capture cage. By controlling the active parts of the driving mechanism to extend or retract, it is possible to control whether the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism: when the door needs to be opened, the controller controls the active parts of the driving mechanism to extend and embed into the traction mechanism, and then controls the driving mechanism to rotate, so that the traction mechanism moves with the rotation of the driving mechanism, driving the cage door to rise and open; when the door needs to be closed, the controller controls the active parts of the driving mechanism to retract and disengage from the traction mechanism, and the traction mechanism is no longer mechanically connected to the driving mechanism and can move independently, so that the cage door is no longer affected by the traction force of the traction mechanism and naturally falls and closes by its own gravity. The closing speed is related to its own gravity and is not affected by the speed of the driving mechanism, so as to avoid the mouse escaping from the capture cage due to too slow closing of the door, or the mouse escaping due to the noise of the driving mechanism rotating during the closing process, thereby improving the capture success rate and the reliability of the mousetrap.

[0070] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
