Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a trapping device. [Background technology]

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and changes in the ecological environment, the troubles caused by small animals such as rats and other pests to human living environment, public health, and agricultural production are becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] Small animals such as mice usually show high vigilance when exploring new environments, and will instinctively escape from closed or small spaces. However, existing trapping devices are usually compact cage-type traps with small internal space, which easily arouse the vigilance of small animals and make them unwilling to approach. [Contents of the utility model]

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a trapping device to solve the above problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a trapping device, comprising a base, a supporting column is provided on the base, a bait bin is provided on the base, an upper cover is slidably connected to the supporting column, the bait bin is located below the upper cover, a first elastic member is provided on the supporting column that can apply a downward force to the upper cover, and a control mechanism that can lock and unlock the upper cover is provided between the upper cover and the supporting column.

[0006] As a further optimization solution of the utility model, the control mechanism includes an electric control lock arranged on the upper part of the support column, and the upper cover is provided with a locking part that cooperates with the electric control lock.

[0007] As a further optimization scheme of the utility model, the control mechanism includes a locking piece arranged on the upper part of the support column, the upper cover is provided with a locking part matching with the locking piece, and the control mechanism also includes a rope connected to the locking piece and capable of driving the locking piece to unlock.

[0008] As a further optimization solution of the utility model, the support column is arranged in the middle part of the base, and the bait bin is arranged in the lower part of the support column.

[0009] As a further optimization solution of the utility model, the bait bin is in the shape of a net bag or a net cage.

[0010] As a further optimization solution of the utility model, the control mechanism is connected to a trigger mechanism that can enable the control mechanism to unlock the upper cover when a small animal bites or pulls the bait bin.

[0011] As a further optimization scheme of the utility model, a mounting hole is provided on the bait bin, and a moving gap is left between the mounting hole and the support column for the bait bin to move on the base. A top pressure part is provided at the bottom of the bait bin, and the trigger mechanism includes a trigger mechanism arranged on the base and capable of cooperating with the top pressure part.

[0012] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the support column is detachably connected to the base.

[0013] As a further optimization scheme of the utility model, a first limiting hole is provided on the upper part of the support column, and the control mechanism includes a pin which is arranged on the upper cover and can be inserted into the first limiting hole to lock the upper cover; the upper cover is provided with a coil which can magnetically attract the pin when power is turned on to disengage it from the first limiting hole; and a second elastic member which presses the pin out from the inside of the coil is also provided between the pin and the upper cover.

[0014] As a further optimization solution of the utility model, the device for trapping small animals also includes a graphic information acquisition module and a wireless control module capable of controlling the on and off state of the control mechanism.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The upper cover is slidably connected to the support column. When the control mechanism restricts the upper cover from sliding downward, the base has an unobstructed open space, which can reduce the vigilance of small animals when approaching the device, thereby increasing the possibility of successful capture;

[0017] 2. The first elastic member applies a continuous downward pulling force to the upper cover, so that when the control mechanism releases the restriction on the sliding of the upper cover, the upper cover can be quickly closed under the action of the first elastic member, thereby reducing the chance of small animals escaping;

[0018] 3. Compared with the pressure plate type trap, the device will basically not cause harm to people or captured objects during normal use, and is highly safe;

[0019] 4. The upper cover is lowered to capture multiple small animals at a time, which is highly reliable.

[0030] The implementation modes of the present utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the utility model discloses a trapping device, including a base 1, a support column 2 is provided on the base 1, a bait bin 3 is provided on the base 1, the support column 2 is slidably connected with an upper cover 4, the bait bin 3 is located below the upper cover 4, a first elastic member 5 is provided on the support column 2, which can apply a downward force to the upper cover 4, and a control mechanism 6 that can lock and unlock the upper cover 4 is provided between the upper cover 4 and the support column 2.

[0032] The base 1 is used to provide stability for the device, ensuring that the device is not easy to tip over or move when placed, and ensuring the effective trapping. In the embodiment, the base 1 is set as a flat base so that it can fit the ground. The support column 2 is connected to the base 1, and the upper cover 4 is slidably connected to the support column 2. The movement trajectory of the upper cover 4 is guided by the support column 2, so that the upper cover 4 can smoothly descend along the support column 2 to form a closed space to capture animals. The bait bin 3 is set on the base and located below the upper cover 4, and is used to store bait that attracts small animals. The bait in the bait bin 3 can attract small animals into the capture range of the device, thereby completing the capture.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, in Example 1, the first elastic member 5 is installed on the support column 2 and is used to provide a downward force on the upper cover 4. In the embodiment, the first elastic member 5 is a tension spring and is arranged between the upper cover 4 and the base 1, and applies a continuous downward tension to the upper cover 4; a rubber band can also be used instead of a tension spring to provide a downward force on the upper cover 4, or a tower spring can be arranged above the upper cover 4. In the process of the upper cover 4 moving upward to the initial position, the tower spring stores elastic potential energy and presses the upper cover 4 to provide a downward force on the upper cover 4.

[0034] The control mechanism 6 can limit the upper cover 4 from sliding downward, and can also release the sliding restriction on the upper cover 4. When it is necessary to capture small animals, the control mechanism 6 can be unlocked as long as a pre-set unlocking mechanism is triggered by humans or animals. At this time, the upper cover 4 is no longer restricted by the control mechanism 6 and moves downward under the action of the first elastic member 5 until it abuts against the base 1, thereby completing the capture of small animals through the capture cavity formed by the base 1 and the upper cover 4 together.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in Example 1, when the upper cover 4 is in the initial position, the device maintains a certain degree of opening, creating a relatively open and less threatening environment for small animals. The bait bin 3 is located in a suitable position to lure animals to enter. When the animals enter, the upper cover 4 will close quickly under the action of the first elastic member 5, thereby completing the capture.

[0036] By sliding the upper cover 4 connected to the support column 2, when the control mechanism 6 restricts the upper cover 4 from sliding downward, the base 1 has an open space without any shielding, which can reduce the vigilance of small animals when approaching the device, thereby increasing the possibility of successful capture. By lowering the upper cover to capture, multiple small animals can be captured at one time, which is highly reliable.

[0037] Compared with the pressure plate type trap, the device will not cause harm to people or captured objects in normal use, and is highly safe. At the same time, under normal use, the user does not need to manually adjust the sensitivity of the capture mechanism, which reduces the difficulty of use and maintenance work to a certain extent.

[0038] The control mechanism 6 includes an electric control lock 64 disposed on the upper portion of the support column 2 , and the upper cover 4 is provided with a locking portion 65 matched with the electric control lock 64 .

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the electric lock 64 can cooperate with the locking part 65 to lock or unlock the upper cover 4. In Example 1, the electric lock 64 is a titanium wire electric lock, which realizes the unlocking and locking of the lock by the shape memory property of the titanium wire. Its structure has been disclosed by the prior art such as the Chinese patent application named titanium wire electric lock and the announcement number CN216690675U, and the structure disclosed by the prior art is sufficient to realize the function of locking or unlocking the locking part 65 in this application, so its specific structure is not described here. The electric lock 64 can also be realized by other means such as electromagnetic lock. Through the setting of the electric lock 64, compared with the manipulator capture mechanism, the user does not need to manually adjust the sensitivity of the capture mechanism. At the same time, although the trapping device has electronic devices, it has a simple structure and can realize more refined operation and control of the upper cover 4, thereby improving the intelligence level and capture efficiency of the trapping device.

[0040] The control mechanism 6 includes a locking member 66 disposed on the upper part of the support column 2, and a locking portion 67 matching the locking member 66 is disposed on the upper cover 4. The control mechanism 6 also includes a pull rope 68 connected to the locking member 66 and capable of driving the locking member 66 to unlock.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in Example 2, the locking member 66, the locking portion 67, and the cable 68 cooperate with each other to form a mechanical wire control device, the principle of which is to transmit mechanical force or operating instructions through the cable 68 to control the action of the actuator at the remote end. Specifically, the locking member 66 is a bolt, and the locking portion 67 is a socket. In the initial state, the bolt is located in the socket. The user can directly pull the cable 68, or press a button, turn a knob, turn a switch, etc. to drive the cable 68, so that it drives the bolt to move away from the socket, thereby unlocking the upper cover 4. The specific structure of the locking member 66, the locking portion 67, and the cable 68 in the mechanical wire control device can also refer to the existing technology such as the Chinese patent application with the announcement number CN208021655U. Controlling the upper cover 4 through the mechanical wire control device can shorten the response time and the capture time, and improve the efficiency of capturing small animals. At the same time, compared with the electric control, the risk of mechanical wire control devices being damaged by water is relatively small, and they are more adaptable to the environment.

[0042] The support column 2 is arranged in the middle of the base 1 , and the bait bin 3 is sleeved on the lower part of the support column 2 .

[0043] By arranging the support column 2 in the middle of the base 1 and the bait bin 3 at the lower part of the support column 2, small animals have to enter a deeper position of the device when searching for food. When the upper cover 4 falls, small animals have a high probability of being successfully captured no matter which direction they approach the bait, thereby improving the trapping efficiency and success rate.

[0044] The bait bin 3 is in the shape of a net bag or a net cage.

[0045] The design of the bait bin 3 in the shape of a net bag or a net cage can ensure that the smell of the bait is better distributed, thereby attracting small animals from a distance; the bait bin 3 in the shape of a net bag or a net cage can also make the bait clearly visible, further stimulating the animal's desire to forage; at the same time, the bait bin 3 in the shape of a net bag or a net cage can increase the difficulty for small animals to eat the bait in the bait bin 3, so that more small animals can be gathered in the device and the small animals can stay in the device for a longer time, so as to achieve the purpose of saving bait and continuously trapping more small animals. The bait bin 3 with a mesh structure is easy to clean and replace, and is well ventilated, which can reduce the problems of bait rotting and odor accumulation.

[0046] The control mechanism 6 is connected to a trigger mechanism that can enable the control mechanism 6 to unlock the upper cover 4 when a small animal bites or pulls the bait bin 3 .

[0047] The bait bin 3 is provided with a mounting hole 31, and a moving gap 32 is left between the mounting hole 31 and the support column 2 for the bait bin 3 to move on the base 1. A pressing portion 33 is provided at the bottom of the bait bin 3, and the trigger mechanism includes a trigger mechanism 7 which is arranged on the base 1 and can cooperate with the pressing portion 33.

[0048] The installation hole 31 enables the bait bin 3 to be installed on the support column 2, and the existence of the moving gap 32 enables the bait bin 3 to move radially relative to the support column 2. Since the bait bin 3 is in the shape of a net bag or a net cage, when a small animal needs to take out the bait in the bait bin 3, it will pull the bait to drive the bait bin 3 to move radially. The trigger mechanism 7 can be a sensor or other structure. When the small animal pulls the bait bin 3 until the top pressure part 33 at the bottom of the bait bin 3 abuts against the trigger mechanism 7, the trigger mechanism 7 drives the control mechanism 6 to unlock the upper cover 4 to capture the small animal.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in Example 1, a mounting groove 11 is provided on the base 1, the bait bin 3 is arranged in the mounting groove 11, and the trigger mechanism 7 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove 11. The mounting groove 11 can provide a storage space for the bait bin 3, ensuring that the bait bin 3 can be stably placed inside the device, and at the same time, arranging the trigger mechanism 7 on the side wall of the mounting groove 11 can reduce the vigilance of the animal to the capture device, ensuring that the capture action is only performed when the animal is really close to the bait, avoiding invalid triggering.

[0050] The trigger mechanism can also be implemented in other ways, such as by providing a trigger bait mechanism in the bait bin 3. When small animals such as mice anxiously bite and pull the trigger bait mechanism of the bait bin 3, the control mechanism 6 will be triggered to close the upper cover 4 to capture them.

[0051] The trigger mechanism can be implemented by a mechanical structure, thereby reducing the risk of failure caused by water intrusion.

[0052] The support column 2 is detachably connected to the base 1 .

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in Example 1, the support column 2 and the base 1 are connected by screws, so that the support column 2 and the base 1 are detachable. Alternatively, the support column 2 and the base 1 are connected by threads, and the user can separate the two by twisting the support column 2 or the base 1. The detachable connection design between the support column 2 and the base 1 allows the user to easily and quickly separate the two parts when cleaning the trapping device, changing the bait, or repairing the device.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in Example 1, a mounting platform is provided on the upper part of the support column 2, and the electric control lock 64 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform. The mounting platform is detachably connected to the support column 2. The installation, commissioning, maintenance and replacement of the electric control lock 64 are simplified and quick through the setting of the mounting platform. Specifically, the mounting platform and the support column 2 are provided with screw holes and connected by screws. The detachable connection is achieved by means of screw holes and screws, and the two can be easily separated when necessary to facilitate the separate maintenance or replacement of the electric control lock 64 components.

[0055] A first limiting hole 21 is provided on the upper portion of the support column 2, and the control mechanism 6 includes a latch 61 which is arranged on the upper cover 4 and can be inserted into the first limiting hole 21 to lock the upper cover 4. A coil 621 is provided on the upper cover 4 which can magnetically attract the latch 61 when power is turned on to disengage it from the first limiting hole 21, and a second elastic member 63 is also provided between the latch 61 and the upper cover 4 to press the latch 61 outward from the coil 621.

[0056] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, in Example 3, the latch 61 is a part of the control mechanism 6. Through the setting of the first limiting hole 21, the latch 61 can be inserted into the first limiting hole 21 on the support column 2 to lock the upper cover 4, ensuring that the upper cover 4 is kept in a sufficiently open position when in a non-capturing state, which is conducive to eliminating the vigilance of small animals. The coil 621 is an electromagnetic component that can generate a magnetic field when powered on to magnetically attract the latch 61 and make it detach from the first limiting hole 21. The upper cover 4 is unlocked by the coil 621, that is, the capture device can be remotely or automatically triggered by electrical control.

[0057] In Example 3, the lower part of the support column 2 is provided with a second limiting hole 22 for the latch 61 to be inserted when the upper cover 4 moves downward to abut against the base 1. After the upper cover 4 completes the capture action, that is, when the upper cover 4 moves downward and contacts the base 1, a position is provided for the latch 21 to be inserted, thereby realizing a secondary locking of the closed state of the upper cover 4. The provision of the second limiting hole 22 enhances the safety and reliability of the trapping device, so that the captured small animals will not easily escape. At the same time, when the trapping device is transported or handled, the upper cover 4 will not be accidentally opened due to vibration and the like, thereby reducing the risk of accidental release caused by external factors after capture.

[0058] A positioning column or the like may be provided between the upper cover 4 and the support column 2 to limit the upper cover 4 from rotating around the support column 2 , so that the latch 61 can be correctly inserted into the first limiting hole 21 and the second limiting hole 22 .

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in embodiment 3, the upper part of the support column 2 is provided with a limiting portion 23 capable of limiting the upper cover 4 from being separated from the upper part thereof. By setting the limiting portion 23, the upper cover 4 can be limited from being separated from the upper part of the support column 2, thereby enhancing the stability of the device in use.

[0060] In Example 3, a pressure sensor capable of sensing small animals is provided on the base 1, and the device for trapping small animals also includes a control module capable of receiving the pressure sensor and energizing the coil 621, so that when the small animal approaches and steps on the device, the sensor can detect the signal and send the signal to the control module, and the control module immediately responds and starts energizing the coil 621, thereby generating a magnetic field to disengage the magnetic attraction pin 61 from the first limiting hole 21, thereby realizing the automation of the trapping process, eliminating the need for manual monitoring and manual operation at all times, and saving labor costs.

[0061] The base 1 or the upper cover 4 may also be provided with an opening (not shown in the figure) that can be opened and closed, so as to facilitate taking out the captured small animals from the opening.

[0062] The device for trapping small animals also includes a graphic information acquisition module 8 and a wireless control module 9 capable of controlling the on / off state of the control mechanism 6 .

[0063] like Fig. 9As shown, the graphic information acquisition module 8 can be implemented by carrying a camera or other image acquisition equipment, and by real-time recording and transmitting the process of small animals entering the trapping device, visual monitoring of the trapping process can be achieved, which is convenient for users to adjust the trapping strategy according to actual conditions. The wireless control module 9 can be implemented by a remote control, a mobile phone applet, etc. The user can watch the graphic information acquisition module 8 and make the upper cover 4 fall through the wireless control module 9 at the appropriate time; the graphic information acquisition device can be an infrared display, so that the user can observe the operation of the device at night, and complete the capture through the wireless control module 9 when there are a suitable number of small animals within the capture range of the device.

[0064] It is also possible to automatically determine whether there are small animals in the image entering the device through the graphic information acquisition module 8, and then automatically complete the capture through the wireless control module 9. The graphic information acquisition module 8 can be set to send a capture instruction through the wireless control module 9 only when the number of small animals entering the device exceeds a certain number, so that more small animals can be captured at one time. No manual real-time intervention is required, which greatly improves the trapping efficiency and accuracy.

[0065] After the trapping object is attracted to the capture range through the bait bin 3, even if the trapping object does not touch the bait, the user can directly trigger the control mechanism 6 through wire control, remote control, mobile phone remote control, etc. to capture the trapping object; when the trapping object bites and pulls the bait bin 3, it can also trigger the trigger mechanism that enables the control mechanism 6 to unlock the upper cover 4 to capture the trapping object.
