Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rat trapping technology, and in particular to a rat trap. Background Technology

[0002] An electric rat cage is a common device used to catch rats. It is typically made of metal or plastic and is widely used in both rural and urban areas. It works by luring rats into the cage with food, triggering an electric shock mechanism that uses a high-voltage microcurrent to prevent escape.

[0003] Existing electric mouse cages have some drawbacks. When a mouse steps on the two conductive plates and triggers the electric shock function, it will struggle due to its instinctive reaction. During the struggle, the mouse may roll over or stand up, causing it to lose contact with the conductive plates and the electric shock function to stop. After the electric shock stops, the mouse will try to escape. To address these issues, we have proposed a mouse trap to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a mouse trap to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when a mouse is shocked, it struggles and breaks away from contact with the conductive sheet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mouse trap includes a housing, the housing comprising a base and an upper shell mounted above the base, characterized in that:

[0007] The housing is equipped with an electric shock device, a mouse-pressing device, and a locking device.

[0008] The electric shock device includes a conductive element;

[0009] The mouse-pressing device is movably mounted on the top wall of the housing and extends downward toward the base, with the bottom end of the mouse-pressing device located above the conductive part of the electric shock device;

[0010] The locking device includes a locking member movably mounted within the housing, and a drive mechanism for driving the locking member to move. The locking member is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking member is in the locked position, it engages with the mouse-pressing device, thereby restricting the movement of the mouse-pressing device. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, it releases the engagement with the mouse-pressing device, thereby releasing the mouse-pressing device so that it can move.

[0011] Furthermore, the mouse-pressing device is provided with a limiting part that cooperates with the locking member. When the locking member moves to the locked position, the locking member engages with the limiting part of the mouse-pressing device, thereby locking the mouse-pressing device. When the locking member moves to the unlocked position, the locking member disengages from the limiting part of the mouse-pressing device, thereby releasing the mouse-pressing device.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking element is a rotatable stop plate, and the limiting part of the mouse pressing device is a slot opened on one side. In the locked position, one end of the stop plate is inserted into the slot, and in the unlocked position, the stop plate is disengaged from the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the electric shock device also includes a battery, a high-voltage pack, and a control circuit board. A battery compartment is provided inside the upper shell, and the battery is installed in the battery compartment. The upper shell also has an installation cavity, which is spaced apart from the battery compartment. The high-voltage pack and the control circuit board are both installed in the installation cavity. The upper shell also includes a trapping area, and the installation cavity and / or the battery compartment are isolated from the trapping area. A removable cover plate is provided on the upper shell corresponding to the battery compartment.

[0014] Furthermore, the mouse-pressing device includes a mouse-pressing frame, the upper end of which extends through the upper shell and the lower end is located inside the upper shell. The mouse-pressing frame can move up and down relative to the upper shell, and a guide mechanism is provided between the mouse-pressing frame and the upper shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the mouse-pressing device also includes a pressure plate, which is mounted at the bottom of the mouse-pressing frame and above the conductive element, and the pressure plate has a bottom surface that extends substantially horizontally.

[0016] Furthermore, the pressure plate consists of at least one fixed plate and at least one movable plate, with the fixed plate installed at the bottom of the mouse-pressing frame and the movable plate located on one side of the fixed plate.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one slide rod is installed on the side of the fixed plate facing the movable plate, and at least one slide groove is opened on the side of the movable plate facing the fixed plate, and the slide rod is inserted into the slide groove and slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressure plate is provided with several outwardly protruding anti-slip textures, or the surface of the pressure plate is provided with several through grooves.

[0019] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide post and a slide. The guide post is fixedly connected to the mouse-pressing frame, and the slide is fixedly connected to the upper shell. The slide is sleeved around the guide post, and the guide post can slide within the slide. The guide post is connected between the mouse-pressing frame and the pressure plate. The upper part of the guide post is connected to the mouse-pressing frame, the middle part of the guide post passes through the slide, and the bottom end of the guide post is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. At least two guide posts are provided.

[0020] Furthermore, an elastic element is installed between the slide and the pressure plate. When the pressure plate moves toward the slide along with the mouse holder, the elastic element is compressed.

[0021] Furthermore, the elastic element is a compression spring, which is sleeved around the guide post, and both ends of the compression spring abut against the slide and the pressure plate, respectively.

[0022] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, which is connected to the locking member for driving the locking member to move between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive mechanism also includes a motor frame and a turntable. The motor frame is fixedly installed inside the upper shell, the drive motor is installed inside the motor frame, the turntable is rotatably installed at the bottom of the motor frame, the motor shaft of the drive motor passes through the motor frame and connects to the top of the turntable, and a coupling mechanism is provided between the turntable and the locking member.

[0024] Furthermore, the coupling mechanism includes an arcuate groove and at least one column, the arcuate groove being disposed on one side of the locking member facing the turntable, and the at least one column being disposed on the bottom of the turntable.

[0025] Furthermore, the locking device also includes a biasing member that abuts against the upper housing and the locking member to provide a force to the locking member, biasing the locking member toward the locking position.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0027] By installing a rat-pressing device inside the casing, when a rat steps on the conductive part and triggers the electric shock function, the drive mechanism will automatically start, driving the locking part to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. The rat-pressing device will then unlock and press down on the rat's body, making it difficult for the struggling rat to break free from contact with the conductive part and preventing the electric shock function from stopping. In this way, the mortality rate or capture rate of rats by electric shock can be increased. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The present invention provides a mouse trap, including a housing 100, the housing 100 including a base 102 and an upper shell 101 installed above the base 102, and the housing 100 is provided with an electric shock device 200, a mouse pressing device 300 and a locking device 400.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 17The upper shell 101 includes a top wall and side walls extending from the top wall. A receiving cavity is defined within the upper shell 101, and the bottom end of the upper shell 101 is open. The side walls of the upper shell 101 include opposing front and rear faces, and two side surfaces respectively connecting the front and rear faces on both sides. A trapping opening 1011 is provided on the front face of the upper shell 101, and a bait groove 1017 is provided inside the upper shell 101 for placing bait.

[0052] The bait trough 1017 can be disposed adjacent to the rear end face of the upper shell 101, that is, at the end opposite to the trap opening 1011. Preferably, the rear end face of the upper shell 101 has a through hole, through which the scent of the bait can be dispersed to the outside of the trap, thereby attracting mice. The attracted mice can then enter the trap through the trap opening 1011. In this embodiment, the bait trough 1017 is an independent container, detachably installed into the shell 100. The bait trough 1017 is installed corresponding to the through hole and can be embedded in the wall of the upper shell 101.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bait tank 1017 has an opening at the top for easy placement and removal of bait. The walls of the bait tank 1017 have multiple perforations to facilitate the release of bait odor. Preferably, the perforations are elongated, with multiple elongated perforations arranged in parallel. The left and right sides of the upper shell 101 are provided with removable side plates 1016. This allows the receiving cavity to be exposed for repair or maintenance when the trap needs to be repaired or maintained. Figure 11 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 As shown.

[0054] The electric shock device 200 includes a conductive element, a battery 202, a high-voltage transformer 203, and a control circuit board 204. A battery compartment 1014 is formed inside the upper shell 101, and the battery 202 is installed in the battery compartment 1014. An installation cavity 1013 is also provided inside the upper shell 101, spaced apart from the battery compartment 1014. The high-voltage transformer 203 and the control circuit board 204 are both installed in the installation cavity 1013. The upper shell 101 also includes a trapping area 1012, which is isolated from the installation cavity 1013 and / or the battery compartment 1014. A removable cover plate 1015 is provided on the upper shell 101 corresponding to the battery compartment 1014. In this embodiment, the trapping area 1012 communicates with the trapping opening 1011 and is used to trap mice. The conductive element includes at least two conductive plates 201, which are installed on the upper surface of the base 102 and located within the trapping area 1012. Understandably, the conductive sheet 201 can also be fixed inside the upper housing 101. The control circuit board 204 preferably has a microcontroller.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 ,as well as Figure 18As shown, in one embodiment, the two conductive sheets 201 are respectively isolated positive and negative electrodes, and there is a gap between the two conductive sheets 201. One conductive sheet 201 is electrically connected to one end of the high-voltage transformer 203, the other end of the high-voltage transformer 203 is electrically connected to one electrode of the storage battery 202, the other electrode of the storage battery 202 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 204, and the other conductive sheet 201 is also electrically connected to the control circuit board 204.

[0056] The battery compartment 1014 and mounting cavity 1013 are independently separated from the area inside the upper shell 101 used for trapping mice, thus preventing damage to the battery 202, high-voltage pack 203, and control circuit board 204 during mouse trapping. The independent space for housing the battery 202, namely the battery compartment 1014, is equipped with a cover 1015. Opening the cover 1015 allows for the replacement of the battery 202. Figure 10 As shown. The high-voltage transformer 203 can increase the circuit voltage, and the control circuit board 204 is equipped with an operation switch 2041, which extends through the rear end face of the upper housing 101, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the electric shock function can be turned on or off by operating switch 2041.

[0057] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown in Figure 14, the mouse-pressing device 300 includes a mouse-pressing frame 301, which is movably mounted on the top wall of the upper shell 101 and extends downward toward the base 102 through the top wall of the upper shell 101. The upper end of the mouse-pressing frame 301 extends through the upper shell 101, and the lower end is located inside the upper shell 101. The mouse-pressing frame 301 can move up and down relative to the upper shell 101. The mouse-pressing device 300 also includes a pressure plate 302, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mouse-pressing frame 301 and located above the space between the two conductive sheets 201. Preferably, the bottom surface of the pressure plate 302 extends substantially horizontally. This embodiment also includes a guide mechanism for supporting and guiding the movement of the mouse-pressing frame 301. As one implementation, such as Figure 14As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a guide post 3012 and a slide 3013. The guide post 3012 is fixedly connected to the mouse holder 301, and the slide 3013 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 101. The slide 3013 is sleeved around the guide post 3012, and the guide post 3012 can slide within the slide 3013. The guide post 3012 is connected between the mouse holder 301 and the pressure plate 302. The upper part of the guide post 3012 is connected to the mouse holder 301, the middle part of the guide post 3012 passes through the slide 3013, and the bottom end of the guide post 3012 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 302. At least two guide posts 3012 are provided. An elastic element is installed between the slide 3013 and the pressure plate 302. When the pressure plate 302 moves towards the slide 3013 with the movement of the mouse holder 301, the elastic element is compressed. The elastic element is a compression spring 3014, which is sleeved around the guide post 3012, and the two ends of the compression spring 3014 abut against the slide block 3013 and the pressure plate 302 respectively.

[0058] Since the slide block 3013 is relatively fixed to the upper shell 101, and the slide block 3013 is slidably connected to the guide post 3012, the mouse holder 301 can slide up and down along the slide block 3013, and thus the mouse holder 301 can slide up and down in the upper shell 101, thereby driving the pressure plate 302 to slide up and down synchronously.

[0059] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the slide 3013 has a uniform convex structure, and the convex structure is embedded in the upper shell 101, so that the slide 3013 is firmly positioned relative to the upper shell 101.

[0060] The top of the upper shell 101 has a concave structure, and the top of the mouse holder 301 extends through the middle of the concave structure, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this way, the user can easily grasp the top of the mouse holder 301 and pull it up and down. When the mouse holder 301 and the pressure plate 302 are pulled upward, the compression spring 3014 is compressed and generates elastic force. When the pulling force applied to the mouse holder 301 is removed, the compressed spring 3014 will use the rebound force to push the mouse holder 301 and the pressure plate 302 down quickly.

[0061] The locking device 400 includes a locking member 401 movably mounted within the housing 100, and a drive mechanism 402 for driving the movement of the locking member 401. The locking member 401 is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking member 401 is in the locked position, it engages with the mouse-pressing device 300, thereby restricting the movement of the mouse-pressing device 300. When the locking member 401 is in the unlocked position, it releases the engagement with the mouse-pressing device 300, thereby releasing the mouse-pressing device 300 and allowing it to move. After unlocking, the mouse-pressing device presses down on the mouse's body, making it difficult for the struggling mouse to break contact with the conductive part, preventing the electric shock function from stopping. In this way, the mortality rate or capture rate of mice by electric shock can be increased.

[0062] The mouse holder 301 is provided with a limiting part that cooperates with the locking member 401. When the locking member 401 moves to the locked position, it engages with the limiting part of the mouse holder 301, thereby locking the axial position of the mouse holder 301. At this time, the mouse holder 301 can no longer move up or down. When the locking member 401 moves to the unlocked position, it disengages from the limiting part of the mouse holder 301, thereby releasing the mouse holder 301 and restoring it to a state where it can move up and down.

[0063] As an example, the locking member 401 is plate-shaped, and the limiting part of the mouse holder 301 is a slot 3011 provided on one side therein. In the locked position, one end of the stop plate is inserted into the slot 3011, and in the unlocked position, the stop plate is disengaged from the slot 3011.

[0064] The locking device 400 is not limited to the above-described embodiments. In other embodiments of the locking device 400 (not shown in the figures), the locking device 400 can also perform locking and unlocking operations by means of linear reciprocating motion. For example, the driving mechanism 402 drives the locking member 401 to perform linear reciprocating motion, thereby inserting or pulling it out of the slot 3011, which can also achieve the unlocking and locking of the mouse pressing device 300.

[0065] The locking member 401 can rotate. When the mouse holder 301 is pulled to the top, the slot 3011 will be aligned with the locking member 401. At this time, the locking member 401 can rotate until one end is inserted into the slot 3011. If an external force is applied to the mouse holder 301 to remove it, the locking member 401, which is inserted into the slot 3011, will lock the mouse holder 301, thereby preventing the mouse holder 301 from moving down automatically.

[0066] Preferably, the locking device 400 further includes an offsetting member, preferably a torsion spring 4025. The torsion spring 4025 abuts against the upper shell 101 and the locking member 401 to provide a force to the locking member 401, causing the locking member 401 to have a tendency to rotate in the first circumferential direction, that is, to offset the locking member 401 toward the locking position, so that when the mouse holder 301 is pulled to the slot 3011 and aligned with the locking member 401, one end of the locking member 401 will be pushed by the torsion spring 4025 and automatically locked into the slot 3011, thereby positioning the mouse holder 301 in the vertical direction.

[0067] The drive mechanism 402 includes a drive motor 4022, which is connected to the locking member 401 and drives the locking member 401 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. The drive mechanism 402 also includes a motor frame 4021 and a turntable 4023. The motor frame 4021 is fixedly mounted inside the upper housing 101. The drive motor 4022 is mounted inside the motor frame 4021. The turntable 4023 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the motor frame 4021. The motor shaft of the drive motor 4022 passes through the motor frame 4021 and is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 4023. The drive motor 4022 is electrically connected to a battery 202, which provides it with power. The drive motor 4022 is also electrically connected to a control circuit board 204, so that the operation of the drive motor 4022 is controlled by the control circuit board 204. A coupling mechanism is provided between the turntable 4023 and the locking member 401. The coupling mechanism includes an arcuate groove 4011 and at least one column 4024. The arcuate groove 4011 is disposed on one side of the locking member 401 facing the turntable 4023, and the at least one column 4024 is disposed on the bottom of the turntable 4023. The column 4024 of the turntable 4023 can rotate with the turntable 4023 to engage with the arcuate groove 4011.

[0068] In this embodiment, the drive motor 4022, the motor frame 4021, and the locking member 401 are all installed inside the upper end of the upper shell 101 and located above the pressure plate 302. The column 4024 can slide in the arc groove 4011. The drive motor 4022 can drive the turntable 4023 to rotate one revolution in the first direction. When the turntable 4023 rotates, the column 4024 at the bottom of the turntable 4023 rotates synchronously. In this way, the rotating column 4024 will slide through the arc groove 4011. When the column 4024 rotates in the first direction and slides through the arc groove 4011, the column 4024 will apply a component force to the locking member 401, causing it to rotate in the second direction. This component force can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 4025 and push the locking member 401 to rotate and disengage from the slot 3011, thereby releasing the locking member 401 from restricting the mouse holder 301. After the mouse holder 301 is unrestricted, the pressure plate 302 will move down rapidly under the push of the spring 3014.

[0069] When the column 4024 slides completely out of the arc groove 4011, the column 4024 will disengage from the locking member 401. Then the torsion spring 4025 will push the locking member 401 to rotate in the first direction again. However, since the mouse holder 301 has already slid down, its slot 3011 is misaligned with the locking member 401. Then one end of the locking member 401 will contact the side of the mouse holder 301. Only when the mouse holder 301 is pulled up again will the locking member 401 slide on the surface of the mouse holder 301 and slide into the slot 3011, thereby locking the mouse holder 301 in the vertical direction again.

[0070] In summary, when using the trap: first, place bait to lure the mouse in the bait slot 1017, then manually pull the mouse-pressing frame 301 to its highest position. Simultaneously, the locking piece 401, under the elastic force of the torsion spring 4025, will rotate and insert into the slot 3011. Afterward, release the mouse-pressing frame 301, and then turn on the operation switch 2041 on the control circuit board 204. At this point, the trap will be in the attracting state. Figure 1 , Figures 2 to 5 As shown.

[0071] When the mouse is lured, it enters the housing 100 through the trap opening 1011 and moves towards the bait slot 1017. During its movement, the mouse steps between two conductive plates 201, thus completing the circuit between the two conductive plates 201. This creates a circuit in the entire electric shock device 200, resulting in an electric shock for the mouse. Upon the shock, the microcontroller on the control circuit board 204 is also energized and receives an electrical signal. The microcontroller then sends a signal to the drive motor 4022, causing it to start automatically. The started drive motor 4022 pushes the turntable 4023 to rotate one revolution in the first direction. The turntable 4023 then uses the column 4024 to push the locking member 401 out of the slot 3011. Simultaneously, the mouse-pressing frame 301, no longer restrained, slides rapidly under the force of the spring 3014. The sliding mouse-pressing frame 301 then presses the pressure plate 302 onto the mouse, forcing it towards the conductive plates 201. Figures 6 to 7 In this way, it is difficult for struggling mice to break free from contact with the conductive sheet 201, thus preventing the electric shock function from stopping and thereby increasing the mortality rate or capture rate of mice by electric shock.

[0072] In other embodiments (not shown in the accompanying drawings), the mouse-pressing device 300 may only have a mouse-pressing frame 301 structure without a pressing plate 302. Thus, when pressing the mouse, the bottom of the mouse-pressing frame 301 can directly press on the mouse. This structure can reduce the manufacturing cost of the trap. Furthermore, the mouse-pressing device 300 is not limited to the shape of the mouse-pressing frame 301 in this embodiment. In other embodiments (not shown in the accompanying drawings), it can also be any other three-dimensional geometric shape suitable for sliding back and forth on the upper shell 101, such as columnar or plate-shaped.

[0073] The pressure plate 302 is not limited to the structure in this embodiment. In a second embodiment of the pressure plate 302, such as... Figure 19 As shown, the pressure plate 302 is composed of at least one fixed plate 3021 and at least one movable plate 3022. The fixed plate 3021 is installed at the bottom of the mouse press frame 301, and the movable plate 3022 is located on one side of the fixed plate 3021. At least one slide rod 3024 is installed on the side of the fixed plate 3021 facing the movable plate 3022, and at least one groove 3023 is opened on the side of the movable plate 3022 facing the fixed plate 3021. The slide rod 3024 is inserted into the groove 3023 and slidably connected to the groove 3023.

[0074] The movable plate 3022 and the fixed plate 3021 can slide together through the cooperation of the sliding rod 3024 and the sliding groove 3023, thereby adjusting the distance between the fixed plate 3021 and the movable plate 3022. In this way, the size of the pressure plate 302 can be adjusted, so that the size of the mouse to be captured can be adjusted before the mouse is caught, thereby improving the capture success rate.

[0075] In the third embodiment of pressure plate 302, such as Figure 20 As shown, the bottom of the pressure plate 302 is provided with several outwardly protruding anti-slip ridges 3025, which increases the friction between the pressure plate 302 and the mouse after the mouse is pressed down, making it difficult for the mouse to escape from the pressure plate 302.

[0076] In the fourth embodiment of the pressure plate 302, such as Figure 21 As shown, the surface of the pressure plate 302 is provided with several through grooves 3026. The several through grooves 3026 can make the pressure plate 302 form a hollow structure. The pressure plate 302 with the hollow structure can reduce the material used for the pressure plate 302. At the same time, the hollow structure can also increase the friction between the pressure plate 302 and the mouse, making it difficult for the mouse to escape the pressure of the pressure plate 302.

[0077] The pressure plate 302 is not limited to the shapes or structures mentioned above, and may also be any other shape or structure that is conducive to catching mice.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments listed above. Any simple changes or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions that can be obviously obtained by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
