Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of trap technology, and in particular to a 360° all-around live rodent capture device suitable for ground and underground tunnels. Background Technology

[0002] Rodents are widely distributed in my country, with high reproductive capacity and extreme adaptability to their environment. They not only damage industrial, agricultural, and livestock production facilities and goods through gnawing, but also transmit various infectious diseases such as plague and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome through their excrement and external parasites, posing a serious threat to human life, health, and property. In rodent monitoring, disease control, and ecological research, it is often necessary to capture live rodents for population analysis, pathogen detection, and external parasite monitoring. Therefore, live rodent traps have become indispensable tools in these fields.

[0003] Most existing live rodent traps have only a single entrance, which prevents rats from entering from all sides, limiting the trapping range and capture probability. Especially in areas with high rodent activity, a single entrance can easily increase rats' vigilance and discourage them from entering, resulting in low trapping efficiency. Furthermore, the rat cage mechanisms of existing live rodent traps are mostly horizontally opening and closing designs, making them bulky and only suitable for ground-based rat trapping scenarios. For rodents such as mole rats and voles that are purely underground, whose activity range is mainly concentrated in underground tunnels, existing devices are too large and their mechanisms are not suitable for placing in narrow rat tunnels, making it difficult to effectively capture these underground rats.

[0004] In summary, existing devices cannot simultaneously meet the needs of using the confined space of underground rat burrows and 360° all-around rat trapping, which is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a 360° omnidirectional live rodent capture device suitable for both surface and underground tunnels, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. To achieve the above objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A 360° all-around live rodent capture device suitable for ground and underground tunnels, including a base, characterized in that it further includes a rodent cage, a hanging cage device, a drive device, a triggering device, and a power storage device; The base has an open structure on all sides, forming a 360° all-around entrance, allowing rodents to enter from any direction; The rat cage is located above the base and is connected to the hanging cage device, and is locked in place with the base for vertical movement. The power storage device and the triggering device are respectively disposed in the base. The first end of the triggering device passes through the base and extends to the top of the base, and its second end is connected to the power storage device. The drive device is located inside the base and is connected to the power storage device and the cage device respectively; The power storage device includes a first rotating shaft, a turntable, and a spring. The first rotating shaft is rotatably disposed within the base. The turntable is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft. A fixed post and a limiting block are provided along the circumference of the turntable. The spring is disposed within the base and connected to the fixed post. When storing power, the limiting block abuts against the triggering device, and the spring simultaneously abuts against the second end of the triggering device.

[0006] Optionally, the triggering device includes a pedal, a connecting rod, and a trigger plate. The trigger plate is rotatably disposed within the base. The connecting rod is disposed at the first end of the trigger plate and extends upward through the base. The pedal is disposed at the top end of the connecting rod. The trigger plate is provided with a positioning block, which abuts against the limiting block.

[0007] Optionally, the second end of the trigger plate is provided with a control block that cooperates with the spring, and the control block abuts against the spring.

[0008] Optionally, the positioning block is provided with a first avoidance slope, and the limiting block is provided with a second avoidance slope, wherein the first avoidance slope and the second avoidance slope are matched.

[0009] Optionally, the positioning block is located on the side of the trigger plate near the connecting rod during rotation.

[0010] Optionally, the driving device includes a driving wheel, a first gear, a second gear, and a third gear. The driving wheel is rotatably disposed within the base and is connected to the cage device for transmission. The first gear is coaxially connected to the driving wheel. The third gear is disposed on the first rotating shaft. The second gear meshes with the first gear and the third gear respectively.

[0011] Optionally, the cage device includes a first column, a second column, a second rotating shaft, a driven wheel, a winding wheel, and a rope. The first column and the second column are respectively located on both sides of the base. The second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top ends of the first column and the second column, respectively. The driven wheel is located on the second rotating shaft and is connected to the drive wheel. The rope is wound around the winding wheel and connected to the cage.

[0012] Optionally, a transmission channel is provided through the interior of the first column along its length.

[0013] Optionally, the base is provided with multiple guide sleeves around its periphery, and the mouse cage is provided with multiple guide posts around its periphery. The guide posts are slidably connected to the guide sleeves in a one-to-one correspondence. Each guide post is provided with a tension spring at its bottom, and the tension spring is connected to the bottom of the inner side of the guide sleeve.

[0014] Optionally, the guide sleeve sidewall is provided with a sliding groove along the height direction, and the guide post is provided with a pin corresponding to the sliding groove, and the pin is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are that, by using the above-mentioned solution, the driving device drives the cage device and the power storage device to move simultaneously. This raises the cage while simultaneously preparing the power storage device and the triggering device, creating an open space for rodents to enter between the cage and the base. This allows rodents to enter the device from all directions (360°), solving the problems of existing devices where a single entrance limits the range of rodent capture, reduces the capture probability, and easily triggers rodent alertness. Furthermore, the cage uses a vertical lifting and locking mechanism, significantly reducing its size compared to existing horizontally opening cages. This allows it to be flexibly placed in narrow underground rodent burrows, solving the problems of existing devices being bulky due to horizontal opening and closing mechanisms, unsuitable for effective capture of mole rats and other underground rodents. This invention is highly versatile. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention is: a 360° all-around live rodent capture device suitable for ground and underground tunnels, comprising a base 1, a rodent cage 2, a hanging cage device 3, a drive device 4, a triggering device 5, and a power storage device 6. The base 1 has a square structure with an internal installation space. The hanging cage device 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 1. The top of the rodent cage 2 is connected to the hanging cage device 3. The rodent cage 2 is located directly above the base 1, and a space is reserved between it and the base 1 for rodents to enter. The rodent cage 2 adopts a mesh structure to ensure ventilation after the rodent is captured, and also facilitates observation of the rodent's condition. The rodent cage 2 and the base 1 are engaged by a sliding mechanism that lifts and lowers the rodent. When the rodent cage 2 and the base 1 are engaged, a closed capture space is formed to prevent the rodent from escaping.

[0022] The energy storage device 6 is installed inside the base 1, and the triggering device 5 is installed inside the base 1 near the energy storage device 6. The first end of the triggering device 5 penetrates the upper surface of the base 1 and extends above the base 1, located in the inner area of ​​the cage 2 after it is closed, making it easy for the rodent to touch and trigger it. The second end of the triggering device 5 extends to the energy storage device 6 and connects to it. The driving device 4 is installed inside the base 1 and is connected to both the energy storage device 6 and the cage device 3, and is used to drive both the energy storage device 6 and the cage device 3 to operate simultaneously.

[0023] The power storage device 6 includes a first rotating shaft 61, a turntable 62, and a spring 63. The first rotating shaft 61 is rotatably mounted inside the base 1 via bearings. The turntable 62 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 61, and can rotate synchronously with the first rotating shaft 61. A fixing post 64 and a limiting block 65 are respectively provided along the circumference of the surface of the turntable 62, with the fixing post 64 and the limiting block 65 spaced apart. The spring 63 is a tension spring, with one end fixed to a fixed seat inside the base 1 and the other end connected to the fixing post 64 on the turntable 62. When the power storage device 6 is storing power, the limiting block 65 abuts against the second end of the triggering device 5, thus limiting and fixing the power storage device 6. Simultaneously, the spring 63 is in a stretched, stored state, and the middle part of the spring 63 abuts against the second end of the triggering device 5, keeping the first end of the triggering device 5 in a ready-to-trigger state.

[0024] Before use, manually rotate the drive wheel 40 of the drive device 4 to rotate the turntable 62, which in turn rotates the first shaft 61. The fixed post 64 on the turntable 62 pulls the spring 63, putting the spring 63 into a stored state. At the same time, the limiting block 65 on the turntable 62 rotates to the trigger device 5 and abuts against the trigger device 5, thus limiting and fixing the power storage device 6. Simultaneously, the drive device 4 drives the hanging cage device 3 to move, pulling the mouse cage 2 upward, putting it in a ready-to-capture state. When a mouse enters the locking area of ​​the mouse cage 2 and touches the first end of the trigger device 5, the trigger device 5 is activated, and its second end separates from the limiting block 65, releasing the limitation on the turntable 62. The spring 63 of the power storage device 6 releases the stored power, driving the turntable 62 and the first shaft 61 to rotate. The first shaft 61 drives the drive device 4 to move, and the drive device 4 drives the hanging cage device 3 to move. Under its own weight, the mouse cage 2 moves downward and locks with the base 1, enclosing the mouse in the space formed by the mouse cage 2 and the base 1, completing the live capture.

[0025] This application uses a drive device 4 to simultaneously move the hanging cage device 3 and the power storage device 6, raising the rat cage 2 while simultaneously preparing the power storage device 6 and the triggering device 5, creating a space for rats to enter between the rat cage 2 and the base 1. This allows rats to enter the device from multiple directions, solving the problems of existing devices having a single entrance that limits the rat-catching range, reduces the capture probability, and easily arouses rats' vigilance. At the same time, the rat cage 2 adopts a vertical lifting and locking method, which significantly reduces its volume compared to the existing horizontally opening rat cage 2, allowing it to be flexibly placed in narrow underground rat burrows. This solves the problems of existing devices having a large size due to horizontal opening and closing, an unsuitable mechanism movement method, and an inability to effectively capture underground rats such as mole rats.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the triggering device 5 includes a pedal 51, a connecting rod 52, and a trigger plate 53. The middle part of the trigger plate 53 is rotatably mounted on a bearing seat inside the base 1 via a rotating shaft 56, and the trigger plate 53 can rotate around the rotating shaft 56. The lower end of the connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to the first end of the trigger plate 53, and the upper end of the connecting rod 52 passes through the top surface of the base 1 and extends upward to the top of the base 1. The pedal 51 adopts a circular or square flat plate structure and is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting rod 52, which is convenient for rodents to step on and trigger the device.

[0027] The upper surface of the trigger plate 53 is provided with a positioning block 54. When the power storage device 6 is in the power storage limit state, the positioning block 54 abuts against the limit block 65 on the turntable 62, and the middle part of the spring 63 abuts against the second end of the trigger plate 53, causing the second end of the trigger plate 53 to move downward, thereby keeping the pedal 51 in the upward ready-to-trigger state.

[0028] When a rodent steps on pedal 51, pedal 51 is subjected to downward pressure, which is transmitted to the first end of trigger plate 53 through connecting rod 52, causing trigger plate 53 to rotate around rotating shaft 56. When trigger plate 53 rotates, it drives positioning block 54 to move downward and quickly separate from limit block 65. At the same time, the contact state between the second end of trigger plate 53 and the middle of tension spring is released, spring 63 pulls turntable 62 to reset, and at the same time drives drive device 4 and cage device 3 to operate, completing the capture.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a control block 55 is provided at the second end of the trigger plate 53. The control block 55 is protruding and its position corresponds to the middle of the spring 63.

[0030] When the turntable 62 rotates, the middle part of the spring 63 abuts against the top of the control block 55, and the spring 63 exerts a downward force on the control block 55. Through the lever transmission of the trigger plate 53, the pedal 51 moves upward. The surface of the control block 55 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the outer diameter of the spring 63, preventing the middle part of the spring 63 from sliding during the contact process.

[0031] When a mouse steps on pedal 51, the first end of trigger plate 53 is subjected to downward pressure and rotates around rotating shaft 56. The second end of trigger plate 53 drives control block 55 to move synchronously. The contact state between control block 55 and the middle of spring 63 is released. Positioning block 54 quickly separates from limit block 65 as trigger plate 53 rotates, releasing the limit on turntable 62. Spring 63 instantly releases the stored tensile force, driving turntable 62 and first rotating shaft 61 to rotate, thereby driving drive device 4 and cage device 3 to complete the capture action.

[0032] In one embodiment, the positioning block 54 is provided with a first avoidance slope 541, and the limiting block 65 is provided with a second avoidance slope 651 adapted to the first avoidance slope 541, wherein the first avoidance slope 541 and the second avoidance slope 651 are adapted to each other.

[0033] The first clearance slope 541 of the positioning block 54 faces the limiting block 65, and the second clearance slope 651 of the limiting block 65 faces the positioning block 54. When the power storage device 6 stores power, the turntable 62 drives the limiting block 65 to rotate. The second clearance slope 651 and the first clearance slope 541 move relative to each other, so that the limiting block 65 can rotate to the other side of the positioning block 54. This allows the position of the limiting block 65 facing away from the second clearance slope 651 and the position of the positioning block 54 facing away from the first clearance slope 541 to abut against each other, thus limiting the rotation of the turntable 62. At the same time, the spring 63 completes the power storage.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 54 is located on the side of the rotating shaft 56 of the trigger plate 53 near the connecting rod 52, that is, the positioning block 54 is located between the first end of the trigger plate 53 and the rotating shaft 56.

[0035] When the limiting block 65 and the positioning block 54 come into contact, the first end of the trigger plate 53 can move downward, allowing the positioning block 54 to avoid the limiting block 65, so that the limiting block 65 can rotate to the other side of the positioning block 54, without interfering with the contact between the spring 63 and the control block 55.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive device 4 includes a drive wheel 40, a first gear 41, a second gear 42, and a third gear 43. The drive wheel 40 is rotatably mounted on a mounting base inside the base 1. The surface of the drive wheel 40 is provided with a belt groove for transmission connection with the cage device 3. The first gear 41 is coaxially fixedly connected to the drive wheel 40 and rotates synchronously with the drive wheel 40. The third gear 43 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 61 and rotates synchronously with the first rotating shaft 61. The second gear 42 is rotatably mounted in the mounting base, and the second gear 42 meshes with both the first gear 41 and the third gear 43.

[0037] When charging, force is applied by rotating the drive wheel 40. The drive wheel 40 can be connected to an external handle. The drive wheel 40 drives the first gear 41, the second gear 42, and the third gear 43 to rotate in sequence, which in turn drives the first rotating shaft 61 and the turntable 62 to rotate, so that the spring 63 charges. At the same time, the drive wheel 40 synchronously drives the cage device 3 to move, pulling the mouse cage 2 upward.

[0038] The gear transmission mechanism has high transmission efficiency and stable transmission ratio. It can realize the synchronous completion of power storage and cage pulling during power storage, simplifying the operation process. It can also efficiently transmit power during power release, avoiding power loss. By adjusting the gear ratio of the three gears, the rotation angle and the height of the cage 2 can be flexibly controlled. The rigid matching of the gear transmission has higher positioning accuracy than the flexible transmission, ensuring the consistency of each action of the device.

[0039] In one embodiment, a one-way clutch is coaxially arranged between the driven wheel 34 and the second rotating shaft 33. The input end of the one-way clutch is fixedly connected to the driven wheel 34, and the output end of the one-way clutch is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 33. The one-way clutch is only engaged when the driven wheel 34 rotates forward to wind the rope, transmitting power to the second rotating shaft 33, and is disengaged when the driven wheel 34 rotates in the reverse direction, disconnecting the power transmission.

[0040] When charging, the drive wheel 40 drives the driven wheel 34 to rotate in the forward direction via the belt. The one-way clutch engages, and the driven wheel 34 drives the second rotating shaft 33 and the winding wheel 35 to rotate synchronously via the one-way clutch. The winding wheel 35 winds the rope to pull the mouse cage 2 upward. At the same time, the drive device 4 drives the charging device 6 to complete the charging of the spring 63, and the device enters the ready-to-capture state.

[0041] When the stored force is released, the spring 63 releases the power to drive the drive device 4 to rotate in the opposite direction. The drive wheel 40 drives the driven wheel 34 to rotate in the opposite direction through the belt. At this time, the one-way clutch is in the disengaged state, and the reverse rotation of the driven wheel 34 cannot be transmitted to the second rotating shaft 33. The second rotating shaft 33 and the winding wheel 35 are not constrained by the transmission mechanism and can rotate freely with the gravity of the mouse cage 2 to release the rope. The mouse cage 2 moves rapidly downward under its own gravity and locks into the base 1, completing the live capture.

[0042] This embodiment adds a one-way clutch to the original drive device 4 to reduce power transmission links and power loss, making the mouse cage 2 fall faster and smoother, and further improving the success rate of catching mice. The one-way clutch is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the cage device 3 includes a first column 31, a second column 32, a second rotating shaft 33, a driven wheel 34, a winding reel 35, and ropes. The first column 31 and the second column 32 are respectively vertically fixed on opposite sides of the base 1. The first column 31 and the second column 32 are at the same height, and each has a shaft hole at its top. The second rotating shaft 33 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole at the top of the first column 31 and the second column 32. The driven wheel 34 is fixedly installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 33. The wheel surface of the driven wheel 34 is provided with a belt groove and is connected to the drive wheel 40 via a belt to achieve synchronous power transmission.

[0044] The winding reel 35 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating shaft 33, located between the first column 31 and the second column 32. One end of the rope is fixedly wound around the winding reel 35, and the other end of the rope is fixedly connected to the top of the mouse cage 2. When charging, the drive wheel 40 drives the driven wheel 34 to rotate via the belt, which in turn drives the winding reel 35 to wind the rope, pulling the mouse cage 2 upward. At the same time, the drive device 4 synchronously drives the power storage device 6 to complete the power storage of the spring 63, and the device enters the ready-to-capture state. When the trigger device 5 releases the limit on the power storage device 6, the spring 63 releases the power, drives the first rotating shaft 61 to rotate, and then drives the drive wheel 40 to rotate in the opposite direction through the gear transmission mechanism. The drive wheel 40 drives the driven wheel 34 to rotate in the opposite direction via the belt, and the driven wheel 34 drives the second rotating shaft 33 and the winding reel 35 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the winding reel 35 releases the rope. At the same time, under its own weight, the mouse cage 2 slides rapidly downward along the base 1 and tightly engages with the base 1, enclosing the mouse in the capture space and completing the capture.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, a transmission channel 311 is provided inside the first column 31 along its length direction. The driven wheel 34 is located on the second rotating shaft 33 at the top of the first column 31. The transmission channel 311 is used to exclusively accommodate the belt connecting the drive wheel 40 and the driven wheel 34.

[0046] The transmission channel 311 conceals the belt inside the first column 31, preventing the belt from being exposed to the outside and coming into contact with rodents, preventing rodents from gnawing on the belt and causing transmission failure, and also preventing the belt from interfering with rodents entering the device.

[0047] In one embodiment, guide sleeves 11 are respectively provided at the four corners of the base 1. The guide sleeves 11 are vertically fixed at the four corners of the base 1. The inside of the guide sleeves 11 is a hollow structure. Four guide posts 21 are fixedly installed on the periphery of the mouse cage 2 corresponding to the positions of the four guide sleeves 11. The inner diameter of the guide posts 21 is adapted to the inner diameter of the guide sleeves 11. The lower end of the guide post 21 is inserted into the hollow structure of the guide sleeve 11 and is slidably connected with the guide sleeve 11 to form a sliding connection structure between the mouse cage 2 and the base 1, ensuring that the mouse cage 2 can make vertical up and down linear movements along the guide sleeves 11. Each guide post 21 is provided with a tension spring at its bottom. The bottom end of the tension spring is connected to the bottom of the inner side of the guide sleeve 11 by a buckle. When the mouse cage 2 rises, the tension spring is stretched to store force. After being triggered, the tension spring is reset and, together with the weight of the mouse cage 2, drives the mouse cage 2 to descend quickly, improving the falling speed and the reliability of the buckling, and realizing precise buckling and separation with the base 1.

[0048] The sliding engagement between the guide post 21 and the guide sleeve 11 makes the lifting and lowering movement of the mouse cage 2 more stable and precise, avoiding the problem of loose fastening caused by the offset or tilt of the mouse cage 2. When released, the tension spring drives the guide post 21 to fall quickly, thereby driving the mouse cage 2 to fall quickly, which greatly improves the reliability of capture.

[0049] In one embodiment, each guide sleeve 11 has a groove 12 on its side wall along its height direction. The groove 12 passes through the opposite side walls of the guide sleeve 11. Each guide post 21 is provided with a pin 22 at the position corresponding to the groove 12. The two ends of the pin 22 are respectively embedded in the grooves 12 on both sides and are slidably connected with the grooves 12. The pin 22 can slide freely up and down along the groove 12. When the pin 22 slides to the top of the groove 12, it abuts against the end of the groove 12, limiting the maximum upward stroke of the guide post 21 and preventing the guide post 21 from falling out of the guide sleeve 11. When the pin 22 slides to the bottom of the groove 12, it abuts against the end of the groove 12, limiting the maximum downward stroke of the guide post 21. This ensures that the clamping force between the cage 2 and the base 1 is moderate, the fit is tight but not excessively impacted, and excessive compression of the tension spring is avoided.

[0050] It should be noted that the above-mentioned technical features can be combined with each other to form various embodiments not listed above, all of which are considered to be within the scope of this invention specification; and, for those skilled in the art, improvements or modifications can be made based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
