When workers use these trapping cages, they need to occupy a large space for storage and transportation, which increases the difficulty of work, wastes time and effort, and affects the efficiency of use.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a trapping cage with a simple structure, which is easy to carry, assemble and disassemble, and can ensure the capture effect and animal safety. The foldable animal trapping device provided by the utility model aims to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned traditional trapping cages, and provide a more humane and practical solution for capturing stray animals, including stray dogs and stray cats. The device adopts a foldable design, which greatly reduces the storage and transportation space, and is convenient for staff to use and carry. At the same time, the device has a simple structure, and is very convenient to assemble and disassemble, which can improve work efficiency. In addition, the device can also maximize the safety and health of animals, so as to be better used in the cause of stray animal management and protection. Utility Model Content

[0060] In order to more clearly describe the foldable animal trapping device proposed by the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0061] like Figure 1A and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable animal trapping device 100, which includes a cage 10, a front door 20, a rear door 30, a pedal 40 and a trigger mechanism 50. The cage 10 has a first opening 101, a second opening 102, an upper mesh 103, a lower mesh 104 and two side meshes 105, wherein the upper mesh 103 and the lower mesh 104 are hinged to the two side meshes 105 through a plurality of hinges 106, and the upper mesh 103, the lower mesh 104 and the two side meshes 105 can be relatively rotated and folded by the plurality of hinges 106. The front door 20 and the rear door 30 are respectively disposed at the first opening 101 and the second opening 102, and the pedal 40 is disposed at the lower mesh 104 near the second opening 102. The trigger mechanism 50 connects the pedal 40 and the front door 20. When the pedal 40 is pressed downward to trigger the trigger mechanism 50, the front door 20 closes the first opening 101. In addition, the cage 10 also has a handle 107 to facilitate carrying or transporting the foldable animal trapping device 100.

[0062] When the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the utility model is used, Figure 1A As shown, the trapping device 100 is unfolded and arranged at a suitable position. When the trigger device 50 is in an untriggered state, the front door 20 is in an open state. When a target animal, such as a stray cat or dog, enters the cage 10 from the first opening 101 and steps on the pedal 40, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the trigger mechanism 50 is triggered, driving the front door 20 to close quickly, thereby trapping the animal in the cage 10 .

[0063] The specific structure of the trigger mechanism 50 of the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the present invention is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a linkage rod 501 and a fixing member 502, wherein the linkage rod 501 includes a first hook 5011 and a second hook 5012, and the fixing member 502 includes a linkage rod fixing hook 5021 and a front door fixing hook 5022. Figure 1A As shown, one end of the connecting rod 501 is detachably connected to a hole 401 on the pedal 40 via the first hook 5011, the other end of the connecting rod 501 is detachably connected to the connecting rod fixing hook 5021 of the fixing member 502 via the second hook 5012, and the fixing member 502 is detachably connected to the front door 20 via the front door fixing hook 5022.

[0064] In addition, the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the utility model further includes a slide frame 60, which is disposed at the second opening 102, and the rear door 30 is slidably disposed on the slide frame 60. The slide frame 60 is hinged to the upper mesh sheet 103 through a plurality of hinges 601, and the slide frame 60 can be rotated relative to the upper mesh sheet 103 to be folded. The lower mesh sheet 104 includes two rear door hooks 1041 for fixing the slide frame 60 on the lower mesh sheet 104.

[0065] Further, the rear door 30 includes a door handle 301 and a fastener 302, wherein the door handle 301 is used to pull the rear door 30 to open the second opening 102, and the fastener 302 is used to fasten and fix the door handle 301 to firmly close the second opening 102. Through the cooperation of the door handle 301 and the fastener 302, the rear door 30 can be firmly fixed at the second opening 102 to prevent the captured animals (such as stray cats or stray dogs) from escaping from the cage body 10, and the rear door 30 can be easily dragged out of the chute frame 60 to open the second opening 102, so that the captured animals can go from the second opening 102 to the opening of another larger cage in a mouth-to-mouth manner, thereby completing the cage exchange action and reducing the probability of animal escape.

[0066] In addition, the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the present invention further comprises a door locking mechanism 70, wherein the door locking mechanism 70 comprises a linear spring fixing rod 701 and a grip 702, and is disposed on the front door 20. A pulley 201 is disposed on the front door 20, and the front door 20 can be lifted by the grip 702, and then the front door fixing hook 5022 can be hooked with the pulley 201 to support the front door 20 to open; and when the trigger mechanism 50 is triggered, the linkage rod fixing hook 5021 drives the front door fixing hook 5022 to be unhooked from the pulley 201, and under the action of the linear spring fixing rod 701, the front door 20 closes the first opening 101.

[0067] like Figure 1B As shown, in the trigger mechanism 50, the front door fixing hook 5022 of the triangular structure on the fixing member 502 hooks the pulley 201 on the front door 20. The mechanical angle of the triangular structure is specially adjusted so that the device has better sensitivity control than the traditional animal trap. When the cage body 10 is accidentally hit by an animal or is set on an uneven terrain, the front door 20 will not be accidentally triggered by the trigger mechanism 50 and closed due to collision or shaking. Only when the animal enters the cage body 10 and steps on the pedal 40, the trigger mechanism 50 will be triggered, driving the front door 20 to close the first opening 101. This new mechanical trigger mechanism design greatly improves the problem that the traditional animal trap is prone to reduce the capture efficiency due to accidental touch.

[0068] Furthermore, a fixing frame 80 is disposed at each end of the cage 10, and the fixing frame 80 can be fixed to the cage 10 by at least two cable ties 90 to prevent the cage 10 from shaking and improve the stability of the foldable animal trapping device 100, so that when the captured animal is in the cage 10, it will not shake violently or overturn due to the impact of the animal. The length of the cage 10 is at least 79 cm, and the width of the pedal 40 is at least 14 cm to accommodate target animals of different sizes, and the size of the cage 10 is also suitable for being placed on most motorcycle pedals, so that the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the utility model can have better transportation efficiency.

[0069] In another embodiment, the foldable animal trapping device 100 of the present invention can be folded into a Figure 4 As shown, the upper mesh sheet 103, the lower mesh sheet 104, the two side mesh sheets 105 and the slide frame 60 can be relatively rotated through the hinge 106 and the hinge 601, and the front door 20, the rear door 30 and the pedal 40 are superimposed together, so that the foldable animal trapping device 100 is folded into a compact folded state, which is convenient for carrying and storage. In addition, the trigger mechanism 50 linkage rod 501 and the fixing member 502 can also be folded together in the cage body 10 in the folded state, and the foldable animal trapping device 100 in the folded state can be further fixed by multiple cable ties 90, preferably four cable ties 90, to facilitate carrying and transportation.

[0070] The foldable animal trapping device of the utility model is easy to carry and store due to the foldable design of the cage body and various functional components; the setting of the trigger mechanism, the door locking mechanism and the fixing frame makes the trapping function of the device reliable and stable, and is suitable for trapping various animals; the setting of the door handle and the fastener makes it convenient to change the cage of the captured animal, so it has the advantages of simple structure and easy use, and provides a practical solution for capturing stray animals.
