Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mousetraps, and more specifically to a continuous mousetrap and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Rats steal grain, damage furniture and clothing, and carry numerous germs, posing a significant threat to human life and production. To eliminate rats invading human territory, people have invented many types of rat-catching devices, such as mousetraps, glue boards, poison traps, and electric shock traps. However, because rats are highly alert, a rat caught in a trap can easily alert other rats by giving them warning signals—such as squeaking, leaving urine, or emitting a scent—making the trap unable to catch another rat. Therefore, devices capable of continuously catching live rats are relatively rare. Application content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a continuous mousetrap that can immediately eliminate and promptly transfer any mouse that is caught, thus preventing it from sending warning signals to other mice, thereby achieving continuous mouse capture, and all captured mice can be easily disposed of together.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is to provide a continuous mousetrap, including a housing, a mouse trap chamber inside the housing, a mouse trap opening at one end of the mouse trap chamber, and a one-way door on the mouse trap opening, which can only be opened in one direction to the mouse trap chamber; a movable high-voltage circuit board is installed at the bottom of the mouse trap chamber, and a mouse collection box with an upward opening is installed below the mouse trap chamber; a control module, a network module, a circuit board driver, and a power supply are installed inside the housing; when a mouse comes into contact with the high-voltage circuit board, the control module sends a signal to the network module and the circuit board driver, so that the circuit board driver first drives the high-voltage circuit board to move or rotate out of the mouse trap chamber so that the mouse inside the mouse trap chamber falls into the mouse collection box, and then drives the high-voltage circuit board to reset; at the same time, the network module sends a signal to the outside of the mouse to capture the mouse.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the continuous mousetrap of this application has the following advantages: mice can enter the mousetrap chamber through the one-way door, but cannot escape from it. Mice entering the mousetrap chamber are immediately killed by electric shock from the high-voltage board. Then, under the linkage of the control module, the board drive component, and the high-voltage board, they fall into the mouse collection box, and the network module sends a signal to the outside world that the mice have been captured. In this way, the continuous mousetrap of this application can immediately kill and transfer mice as soon as they are captured, preventing them from sending warning signals to other mice, thereby achieving continuous mouse capture. Moreover, it can promptly notify the user of mouse capture information, and the user can conveniently clean up all the captured mice together by cleaning the mouse collection box.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the mousetrap is equipped with an electrode carrier plate, on which a high-voltage electrode plate is fixed. A rack is mounted on the electrode carrier plate. The electrode drive mechanism includes a motor and gears. The motor is fixed to the outside of the mousetrap, and its output shaft is connected to the gear. The gear meshes with the rack. Forward rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electrode carrier plate out of the mousetrap. Reverse rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electrode carrier plate in the opposite direction to its reset position. This structure facilitates the motor-driven electrode carrier plate, carrying the high-voltage electrode plate, out of the mousetrap or to its reset position.

[0007] Preferably, the housing contains a first microswitch and a second microswitch. Moving the battery carrier out of the mouse trap chamber triggers the first microswitch, stopping the motor's forward rotation. Moving the battery carrier into the mouse trap chamber triggers the second microswitch, stopping the motor's reverse rotation. This structure effectively controls the motor's start and stop, ensuring precise positioning of the battery carrier whether moving out of the mouse trap chamber or resetting. Furthermore, the control hardware is simple, reducing costs.

[0008] Preferably, the control module receives trigger signals from the first microswitch and the second microswitch, and the networking module sends a signal indicating that the mouse has been captured after the first microswitch is triggered. With this structure, the user can be promptly notified of the mouse capture after it has been electrocuted by the high-voltage electrode and fallen into the mouse collection box.

[0009] Preferably, the networking module is a 4G module, a 5G module, or a WiFi module, used to transmit the signal of capturing the mouse to the user's terminal device via the IoT platform; or the networking module is a LoRa or Zigbee module, used to transmit the signal of capturing the mouse sequentially via a gateway device and the IoT platform to the user's terminal device. This structure utilizes mature hardware, has wide applicability, and facilitates rapid application assembly.

[0010] Preferably, an inner support is provided inside the housing, which divides the space above the mouse collection box into two parts: a mouse trap and an electrical control system mounting section. The control module, networking module, and circuit board drive are all located within the electrical control system mounting section. A carrier plate slide is provided at the lower part of the inner support, connecting both sides of the inner support. The side of the circuit board carrier plate with a rack is slidably positioned within the carrier plate slide, and the rack passes through the slide and meshes with a gear. This structure is simple, easy to assemble, and facilitates the movement and guidance of the circuit board carrier plate.

[0011] Preferably, a motor mounting section is provided in the middle of the inner bracket on one side of the electrical control system mounting section, and the motor is fixedly connected to the motor mounting section. This structure facilitates motor installation.

[0012] Preferably, a one-way door limiting part is provided on the inner frame on one side of the mouse trap; a pivot is provided on the top of the one-way door, and the one-way door can rotate around the pivot. One side of the one-way door is adjacent to the inner frame and is limited to the inside of the mouse trap by the one-way door limiting part. With this structure, the structure is simple and it is easy to set the one-way door to only rotate and open inwards into the mouse trap.

[0013] Preferably, the other end of the mousetrap is equipped with a feeding port, which is positioned opposite the mousetrap opening. The feeding port has a detachable feeding door, inside which is a bait-holding area for placing bait to attract mice. This bait-holding area is connected to the inside of the mousetrap. With this structure, placing bait to attract mice into the bait-holding area of ​​the feeding door allows the bait's scent to diffuse throughout the mousetrap, effectively luring mice into the trap.

[0014] Preferably, the bait-containing area has several ventilation holes on the side opposite to the trap chamber; a window with a ventilation mesh is provided on the side of the trap chamber on the shell; and several ventilation holes are also provided on the one-way door. With this structure, the ventilation holes facilitate the diffusion of the bait's odor from the bait-containing area into the trap chamber, while the ventilation mesh on the side of the trap chamber and the ventilation holes on the one-way door facilitate the diffusion of the bait's odor from the trap chamber outwards, making it easier to lure mice into the trap chamber.

[0015] Preferably, the feeding opening has an opening at the top and feeding gate tracks on both sides. Sliding walls are provided on both sides of the feeding gate, and these walls slide in accordance with the feeding gate tracks. One of the sliding walls or the feeding gate tracks has a sliding strip, and the other has a sliding groove, with the strip and groove sliding in contact. The feeding gate can slide downwards into the feeding opening or upwards out of the feeding opening. This structure facilitates the opening and closing of the feeding gate. The sliding strip and groove limit the movement of the feeding gate, preventing accidental rotation within the feeding opening that could prevent it from closing.

[0016] Preferably, an entry staircase is provided inside the shell at the front of the mouse trap. The entry staircase is open to the outside of the shell and connects to the mouse trap from the bottom inside the shell. The top of the entry staircase connects to the mouse trap opening. This structure facilitates the entry of mice into the mouse trap, thereby increasing the probability of catching mice.

[0017] Preferably, the mouse collection box has a pull-out section on one side, allowing it to be pulled in and out of the housing. This structure facilitates the removal of the mouse collection box from the housing for cleaning up the captured mice.

[0018] Preferably, the housing contains a battery compartment and a power switch. The power source is a battery located in the battery compartment, and the power switch is used to turn the battery on or off to supply power to external devices. This structure is simple and convenient for operating the continuous mousetrap of this application.

[0019] This application also provides a control method for a continuous mousetrap, the technical solution of which, based on the continuous mousetrap described above, includes the following control method: The high-voltage circuit board is continuously powered by the power source to maintain a high-voltage state. When a mouse enters the mouse trap through the one-way door and touches the high-voltage circuit board, the high-voltage circuit board sends a high-current signal to the control module. After receiving the high-current signal, the control module first waits for a high-voltage rodent-killing time t, and then sends a signal to the network module and the circuit board driver, causing the circuit board driver to first drive the high-voltage circuit board to move or rotate out of the rodent trap to make the rodent fall into the rodent collection box, and then drive the high-voltage circuit board to reset; at the same time, the network module sends a signal to the outside of the rodent to capture the rodent.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the control method of the continuous mousetrap of this application has the following advantages: at any time, a mouse entering the mousetrap chamber through the one-way door will be immediately electrocuted by the high-voltage electrode and then promptly transferred to the mouse collection box, preventing it from issuing warning signals to other mice, thus achieving the goal of continuously capturing mice. The high-voltage mouse-killing time t can be set according to the actual voltage value on the high-voltage electrode and practical experience in electrocution mouse killing; generally, a high-voltage electrocution of 1 minute is sufficient to kill a mouse.

[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the mouse trap is equipped with an electric plate carrier, on which a high-voltage electric plate is fixed. A rack is mounted on the electric plate carrier. The electric plate drive includes a motor and gears. The motor's output shaft is connected to the gear, which meshes with the rack. Forward rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electric plate carrier out of the mouse trap. Reverse rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electric plate carrier in the opposite direction to its reset position. When the control module receives the high-current signal, it first waits for a high-voltage rodent-killing time t. Then, the control module sends a signal to the electric plate drive, causing the motor to rotate forward n times, and the gear to drive the rack, moving the electric plate carrier out of the mouse trap so that the mice inside fall into the mouse collection box. Next, the electric plate drive drives the motor to rotate backward n times, and the gear to drive the rack, moving the electric plate carrier in the opposite direction to its reset position. This method allows the motor-driven electrode carrier to move or reset the high-voltage electrode outside the mouse trap. The start and stop of the motor's forward and reverse rotation can be precisely controlled by controlling the number of rotations, ensuring that the electrode carrier can be accurately positioned whether it is moved or reset outside the mouse trap.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the mousetrap is equipped with an electrical board carrier plate, on which a high-voltage electrical board is fixed. A rack is mounted on the electrical board carrier plate. The electrical board drive component includes a motor and gears. The motor's output shaft is connected to the gear drive, and the gear meshes with the rack. Forward rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electrical board carrier plate out of the mousetrap. Reverse rotation of the motor causes the gear to drive the rack, moving the electrical board carrier plate in the opposite direction to its reset position. A first microswitch and a second microswitch are installed inside the housing. Moving the electrical board carrier plate out of the mousetrap triggers the first microswitch, stopping the motor's forward rotation. Moving the electrical board carrier plate inward triggers the second microswitch. The triggering of two microswitches can stop the motor from reversing. When the control module receives the high-current signal, it first waits for a high-voltage rodent-killing time t. Then, the control module sends a signal to the circuit board driver, causing the circuit board driver to drive the motor to rotate continuously forward until the first microswitch is triggered, and the motor stops rotating forward. During the forward rotation of the motor, the gear-driven rack moves the circuit board carrier plate out of the rodent trap, causing the rodent inside the trap to fall into the rodent collection box. Then, the circuit board driver drives the motor to rotate continuously in reverse until the second microswitch is triggered, and the motor stops rotating in reverse. During the reverse rotation of the motor, the gear-driven rack moves the circuit board carrier plate in the opposite direction until it is reset. This method facilitates the motor driving the circuit board carrier plate, carrying the high-voltage circuit board, to move out of the rodent trap or reset. The start and stop of the motor's forward and reverse rotation can be precisely controlled by the first and second microswitches, ensuring that the circuit board carrier plate can be accurately positioned whether moving out of the rodent trap or resetting.

[0023] Furthermore, a network module is installed inside the casing. When the first microswitch is triggered, the network module sends a signal indicating that a mouse has been captured. The control module receives trigger signals from both the first and second microswitches. When the first microswitch is triggered, the control module sends a signal to the network module, causing the network module to send a mouse-capture signal to an IoT platform or gateway device. The gateway device, upon receiving the mouse-capture signal, also sends it to the IoT platform. Ultimately, the IoT platform sends the mouse-capture signal to the user's terminal device. This method allows for real-time notification of mouse capture information to the user while eliminating the mouse, enabling the user to promptly monitor the mouse collection box and plan accordingly for cleaning.

[0036] It should also be understood that the terms "comprising," "having," "including," and "containing," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. Furthermore, when expressions such as "...at least one" appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire listed feature, not individual elements in the list. Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the continuous mousetrap of this application includes a housing 1, with a handle 15 on the top. An inner support 2 is located inside the housing 1, and a mouse collection box 3 is located below the inner support 2. The inner support 2 divides the space above the mouse collection box 3 into two parts: a mouse trap chamber 1-5 and an electronic control system mounting section 2-4. An entry staircase 5 is located on the front side of the mouse trap chamber 1-5 inside the housing 1, opening to the outside of the housing 1. The entry staircase 5 connects the mouse trap chamber 1-5 from the bottom inside the housing 1. A pull-out section 3-2 is located on one side of the mouse collection box 3, allowing the mouse collection box 3 to be pulled in and out of the housing 1.

[0038] A mouse trap 1-5 has a mouse trap opening 1-1 at one end, and the top of the entry staircase 5 is connected to the mouse trap opening 1-1. A one-way door 6 is provided on the mouse trap opening 1-1, and a pivot 6-1 is provided on the top of the one-way door 6. The two ends of the pivot 6-1 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inner support 2 and the shell 1, respectively. The one-way door 6 can rotate around the pivot 6-1. A one-way door limiting part 2-1 is provided on the inner support 2. One side of the one-way door 6 is adjacent to the inner support 2 and is limited to the inside of the mouse trap 1-5 by the one-way door limiting part 2-1. In this way, the one-way door 6 can only be rotated and opened into the mouse trap.

[0039] The other end of the mouse trap 1-5 is provided with a feeding port 1-2, which is opposite to the mouse trap 1-1. The feeding port 1-2 is provided with a detachable feeding door 7. The top of the feeding port 1-2 is open and the two sides are provided with feeding door slides 1-3. The two sides of the feeding door 7 are provided with sliding walls 7-1, which slide in accordance with the feeding door slides 1-3. One of the sliding walls 7-1 and the feeding door slides 1-3 is provided with a sliding strip 1-4, and the other is provided with a sliding groove 7-2. The sliding strip 1-4 slides in accordance with the sliding groove 7-2. The feeding door 7 can slide down into the feeding port 1-2 or slide up out of the feeding port 1-2.

[0040] The baiting gate 7 has a bait-containing area 7-3 for holding bait to lure mice. The bait-containing area 7-3 is connected to the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5, and several ventilation holes 7-4 are provided on the opposite side of the bait-containing area 7-3 and the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5. A window with a ventilation mesh is provided on the side of the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5 on the shell 1. Several ventilation holes are also provided on the one-way door 6. When bait to lure mice is placed into the bait-containing area 7-3 of the baiting gate 7, the scent of the bait diffuses into the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5. The ventilation mesh on the side of the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5 and the ventilation holes on the one-way door 6 allow the scent of the bait in the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5 to diffuse outwards from the continuous mouse trap, which is beneficial for luring mice into the mouse-trapping chamber 1-5.

[0041] The bottom of the mouse trap 1-5 is provided with a circuit board carrier plate 4-1, on which several high-voltage circuit boards 4 are installed. A control module, a circuit board drive, and a battery compartment 13 are installed within the electrical control system mounting section 2-4. The circuit board drive is used to drive the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 to move or flip out of the mouse trap 1-5. A battery is installed in the battery compartment 13 for power supply. A power switch 14 is installed on one side of the electrical control system mounting section 2-4 on the housing 1. The power switch 14 is used to connect or disconnect the battery from supplying power to the circuit board drive.

[0042] In this embodiment, the circuit board drive component is used to drive the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 to move outward from the mouse trap 1-5. Specifically, the circuit board drive component includes a motor 8 and a gear 9. A motor mounting part 2-3 is provided in the middle of the inner bracket 2 on one side of the electronic control system mounting part 2-4. The motor 8 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting part 2-3, and the output shaft of the motor 8 is connected to the gear 9. A rack 10 is provided on one side of the circuit board carrier plate 4-1, and a carrier plate slide 2-2 is provided at the lower part of the inner bracket 2. The carrier plate slide 2-2 connects the two sides of the inner bracket 2. The side of the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 with the rack 10 is slidably disposed within the carrier plate slide 2-2. The rack 10 passes through the carrier plate slide 2-2 and meshes with the gear 9. Forward rotation of the motor 8 causes the gear 9 to drive the rack 10, moving the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 outward from the mouse trap 1-5. Reverse rotation of the motor 8 causes the gear 9 to drive the rack 10, moving the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 in the opposite direction to its reset position. The carrier plate 4-1 can move forward and backward or left and right, and the direction of movement is related to the setting direction of the rack 10.

[0043] The inner support 2 is equipped with a first micro switch 11 and a second micro switch 12; the movement of the circuit board carrier 4-1 outward from the mouse trap 1-5 can trigger the first micro switch 11, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, triggering the first microswitch 11 stops the motor 8 from rotating forward; moving the circuit board carrier 4-1 into the mousetrap 1-5 triggers the second microswitch 12, as shown. Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown, the second micro switch 12 can be triggered to stop the motor 8 from reversing.

[0044] A network module is installed within the electrical control system installation section 2-4. When the first microswitch 11 is triggered, the network module can send a signal indicating mouse capture. The network module can be a 4G, 5G, or WiFi module, used to transmit the mouse capture signal to the user's terminal device via an IoT platform; or it can be a Lora or Zigbee module, used to transmit the mouse capture signal sequentially via a gateway device and an IoT platform to the user's terminal device.

[0045] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this application's continuous mousetrap, when catching mice, the electric plate carrier 4-1 is located at the bottom of the mousetrap chamber 1-5 and above the mouse collection box 3. When a mouse is attracted by the scent of the bait, it will climb up the entry stairs 5 to the mousetrap opening 1-1, and then enter the mousetrap chamber 1-5 through the one-way door 6. In order to eat the bait, it will try to move towards the bait gate 7, inevitably coming into contact with the high-voltage electric plate 4. Thus, the mouse entering the mousetrap chamber 1-5 will be immediately electrocuted by the high-voltage electric plate 4. The high-voltage electric plate 4 will then send a high-current signal to the control module. After receiving the high-current signal, the control module will wait for a high-voltage mouse-killing time t to ensure that the mouse is electrocuted. The mouse is caught, and then a signal is sent to the network module and the circuit board driver, causing the circuit board driver to first drive the motor 8 to rotate forward, so that the gear 9 drives the rack 10 to move the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 out of the mouse trap 1-5 until the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 triggers the first micro switch 11. The mouse on the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 is blocked by the one-way door 6 and finally falls into the mouse collection box 3. In this way, the continuous mouse trap of this application can immediately eliminate and transfer the mouse as soon as it is caught, so as to avoid it giving a warning signal to other mice.

[0046] The control module receives trigger signals from the first micro switch 11 and the second micro switch 12. When the first micro switch 11 is triggered, the control module sends a signal to the network module, causing the network module to send a signal to capture mice. The user's terminal device will receive this signal. After a certain number of mice are captured, the user can pull out the mouse collection box 3 and easily clean up all the captured mice together.

[0047] When the circuit board carrier 4-1 triggers the first micro switch 11, the motor 8 reverses, causing the gear 9 to drive the rack 10, which in turn moves the circuit board carrier 4-1 in the opposite direction to its reset position, waiting for the next mouse to fall into the trap. Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the continuous mousetrap of this application can continuously capture mice. Example 2

[0048] The control method for the continuous mousetrap in this application is based on the continuous mousetrap described in Example 1, and the control method includes: The high-voltage board 4 is continuously powered by the power source to maintain a high-voltage state. When a mouse enters the mouse trap 1-5 through the one-way door 6 and touches the high-voltage board 4, the high-voltage board 4 sends a high-current signal to the control module. When the control module receives the high current signal, it first waits for a high-voltage rodent extermination time t, where t is set to 1 minute, to ensure that there is enough time to kill the rats with electric shock. Then the control module sends a signal to the board drive component, causing the board drive component to drive the motor 8 to rotate continuously in the forward direction, causing the gear 9 to drive the rack 10 to move the board carrier plate 4-1 out of the mouse trap 1-5 until the first micro switch 11 is triggered, and the motor 8 stops rotating in the forward direction. At this time, the board carrier plate 4-1 moves into place, so that the mice in the mouse trap 1-5 inevitably fall into the mouse collection box 3. The control module receives trigger signals from the first micro switch 11 and the second micro switch 12. When the first micro switch 11 is triggered, the control module sends a signal to the network module, causing the network module to send a signal to the Internet of Things platform or gateway device to capture the mouse. The gateway device receives the signal to capture the mouse and also sends it to the Internet of Things platform. Finally, the Internet of Things platform sends the signal to capture the mouse to the user's terminal device. Then the circuit board drive motor 8 continues to reverse, causing gear 9 to drive rack 10 to move circuit board carrier 4-1 in the opposite direction until the second micro switch 12 is triggered, motor 8 stops reversing, and circuit board carrier 4-1 is reset. Example 3

[0049] Unlike Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, the first micro switch 11 is triggered only to control the networking module to send a signal to the IoT platform or gateway device to capture the mouse, and is not used to control the duration of the forward rotation of the motor 8. The duration of the reverse rotation of the motor 8 is also not controlled by the triggering of the second micro switch 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, the control method includes: The high-voltage board 4 is continuously powered by the power source to maintain a high-voltage state. When a mouse enters the mouse trap 1-5 through the one-way door 6 and touches the high-voltage board 4, the high-voltage board 4 sends a high-current signal to the control module. When the control module receives the high current signal, it first waits for a high-voltage rodent extermination time t, where t is set to 1 minute, to ensure that there is enough time to kill the rats with electric shock. Then the control module sends a signal to the board drive component, causing the board drive component to drive the motor 8 to rotate n times and then stop, causing the gear 9 to drive the rack 10 to move the board carrier plate 4-1 outward into the mouse trap 1-5, and the mice in the mouse trap 1-5 inevitably fall into the mouse collection box 3. Then, the drive motor 8 of the circuit board driver rotates n times in reverse and stops, causing the gear 9 to drive the rack 10 to move the circuit board carrier plate 4-1 in the opposite direction until it is exactly reset.

[0051] n can be set to the length of rack 10 divided by the outer diameter of gear 9, so that when motor 8 rotates n revolutions, the electric plate carrier 4-1 moves completely out of the mouse trap 1-5.

[0052] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made to this application without departing from the spirit and scope thereof shall be covered within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
