Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of muskrat capture, in particular to a novel live muskrat capture device. Background Art

[0002] The muskrat is a small precious fur animal. During the breeding period, male muskrats can secrete muskrat musk through the muskrat gland of the reproductive system, which has a strong fragrance. Muskrat musk can not only replace musk as a precious traditional Chinese medicine, but also be used as a raw material for making high-grade perfumes. Muskrat oil and fur also have certain commercial values. When capturing muskrats, in order to ensure that the fur is not damaged and facilitate subsequent breeding, a live capture device is usually used.

[0003] The Chinese patent discloses a rat trap (authorization publication number CN207023032U). The patent technology has a simple structure and low cost, avoids recapturing and processing the prey in the rat trap, and improves the practicability of the rat trap.

[0004] In view of the above and existing related technologies, the inventor believes that the following defects often exist: Existing rat-catching devices, whether for different types of rodents such as house mice, field mice or muskrats, usually have certain limitations in design. These limitations result in their ability to capture only a small number of animals at a time, thus requiring users to frequently process and reset them. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that in the prior art, the overall capacity is small and only a small number of animals can be captured each time. For this reason, we propose a novel live muskrat capture device.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical solution: A novel live muskrat capture device includes a capture barrel, a barrel cover is installed at the top of the capture barrel, an entrance is opened at the top of the barrel cover, first U-shaped blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the barrel cover, a pin is inserted into the interior of the first U-shaped block, and an inclined plate is rotatably connected to the interior of the first U-shaped block through the pin.

[0007] A shielding mechanism for preventing animals from escaping is installed at the bottom of the barrel cover.

[0008] Preferably, an induction groove is opened at the top of the barrel cover.

[0009] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes second U-shaped blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid. A baffle is rotatably connected inside the second U-shaped blocks through a rotating shaft. A third U-shaped block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle. A guiding rod is rotatably connected inside the third U-shaped block through a rotating shaft. First limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid. A guiding through groove for cooperating with the guiding rod is opened at the bottom end of the first limiting block. Second limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid. A return spring is fixedly connected to the end of the guiding rod away from the third U-shaped block, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the second limiting block.

[0010] Preferably, a receiving groove is opened at the end of the guiding rod away from the third U-shaped block. A telescopic rod is slidably connected inside the receiving groove, and one end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the second limiting block.

[0011] Preferably, third limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the guiding rod.

[0012] Preferably, an anti-escape film is installed inside the capture bucket.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of the present utility model:

[0014] In the present utility model, the user places a large amount of bait inside the capture bucket, and then places a small amount of bait on the top of the induction groove. When the muskrat is attracted by the bait on the top of the induction groove and climbs up to the top of the bucket lid through the inclined plate, due to the larger amount of bait inside the capture bucket, the muskrat will enter the capture bucket through the entrance, thereby capturing the muskrat. Since the overall volume of the capture bucket is relatively large, a large number of muskrats can be captured simultaneously.

[0015] In the present utility model, through the setting of the shielding mechanism, it can prevent blockage when the muskrat enters, and at the same time play a role in deceiving the opened entrance, and prevent the muskrat from escaping due to stacking after a large number of muskrats enter the capture bucket.

Specific embodiments

[0023] Now, with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, the present utility model will be further described in detail. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 - 5 As shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of muskrat live capture device, including a capture bucket 1, a bucket lid 2 is installed on the top of the capture bucket 1, an inlet 3 is opened on the top of the bucket lid 2, first U-shaped blocks 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bucket lid 2, a bolt 5 is inserted into the inside of the first U-shaped block 4, an inclined plate 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first U-shaped block 4 through the bolt 5, a shielding mechanism for preventing animals from escaping is installed on the bottom of the bucket lid 2, an induction groove 7 is opened on the top of the bucket lid 2. The user places a large amount of bait inside the capture bucket 1, and then places a small amount of bait on the top of the induction groove 7. When the muskrat is attracted by the bait on the top of the induction groove 7 and climbs onto the top of the bucket lid 2 through the inclined plate 6, due to the larger amount of bait inside the capture bucket 1, the muskrat will enter the capture bucket 1 through the inlet 3, thereby capturing the muskrat. Since the overall volume of the capture bucket 1 is relatively large, a large number of muskrats can be captured at the same time. Through the setting of the shielding mechanism, it can prevent blockage when the muskrat enters, and at the same time play a role in deceiving the opened inlet 3, and prevent the muskrat from escaping due to stacking after a large number of muskrats enter the capture bucket 1.

[0025] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: The shielding mechanism includes second U-shaped blocks 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid 2. Inside the second U-shaped blocks 8, a shielding plate 9 is rotatably connected through a rotating shaft. At the bottom of the shielding plate 9, a third U-shaped block 10 is fixedly connected. Inside the third U-shaped block 10, a guiding rod 11 is rotatably connected through a rotating shaft. On both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid 2, first limiting blocks 12 are fixedly connected. At the bottom end of the first limiting blocks 12, guiding through grooves 13 are opened for cooperating with the guiding rod 11. On both sides of the bottom of the bucket lid 2, second limiting blocks 16 are fixedly connected. One end of the guiding rod 11 away from the third U-shaped block 10 is fixedly connected with a return spring 17, and the other end of the return spring 17 is fixedly connected with the second limiting block 16. When the muskrat does not step on the shielding plate 9, the elastic force generated by the return spring 17 is used to push the guiding rod 11, so that the guiding rod 11 drives the shielding plate 9 through the third U-shaped block 10, and the shielding plate 9 plays a role in shielding the hole generated by the inlet 3. When the muskrat steps on the top of the shielding plate 9, due to the weight of the muskrat being greater than the elastic force of the return spring 17, the shielding plate 9 will be flipped, so that the muskrat falls into the inside of the capture bucket 1. When the muskrat enters the capture bucket 1, the shielding plate 9 will again shield the hole generated by the inlet 3 due to the elastic force generated by the return spring 17. The setting of the second limiting block 16 enables the shielding mechanism to be connected to the bucket lid 2. When there are too many muskrats inside the capture bucket 1, when the user takes the bucket lid 2, the shielding mechanism will be taken out together, reducing the obstruction when taking out the muskrats.

[0026] Refer to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: At one end of the guiding rod 11 away from the third U-shaped block 10, a receiving groove 14 is opened. Inside the receiving groove 14, a telescopic rod 15 is slidably connected. One end of the telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected with the second limiting block 16. Through the sliding connection between the receiving groove 14 and the telescopic rod 15, the shape of the return spring 17 is restricted when it is compressed, preventing the return spring 17 from being bent at a large angle and affecting its use.

[0027] Refer to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: On both sides of the guiding rod 11, third limiting blocks 18 are fixedly connected. Through the setting of the third limiting blocks 18, it is prevented that the guiding rod 11 disengages from the inside of the guiding through groove 13 when moving, so as to ensure that the shielding plate 9 can be closed in time.

[0028] Refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: An anti-escape film 19 is installed inside the capture bucket 1. The anti-escape film 19 is made of polyether ether ketone film, which is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with excellent mechanical strength, high-temperature resistance, low friction coefficient, and good chemical resistance. It can also show good self-lubricating performance under dry friction conditions. Moreover, due to its high hardness and rigidity, it is relatively scratch-resistant. Through the setting of the anti-escape film 19, it is prevented that the muskrat climbs upward.

[0029] Working principle: The user places a large amount of bait inside the trapping bucket 1, and then places a small amount of bait on the top of the induction groove 7. When the muskrat is attracted by the bait on the top of the induction groove 7 and climbs up to the top of the bucket cover 2 through the inclined plate 6, due to the larger amount of bait inside the trapping bucket 1, the muskrat will enter the trapping bucket 1 through the inlet 3, thus trapping the muskrat. Since the overall volume of the trapping bucket 1 is relatively large, a large number of muskrats can be trapped simultaneously. When the muskrat does not step on the baffle 9, the elastic force generated by the return spring 17 pushes the guide rod 11, causing the guide rod 11 to drive the baffle 9 through the third U-shaped block 10, so that the baffle 9 blocks the hole formed by the inlet 3. When the muskrat steps on the top of the baffle 9, due to the weight of the muskrat being greater than the elastic force of the return spring 17, the baffle 9 will flip, causing the muskrat to fall into the trapping bucket 1. After the muskrat enters the trapping bucket 1, the baffle 9 will block the hole formed by the inlet 3 again due to the elastic force generated by the return spring 17. The setting of the second limit block 16 enables the blocking mechanism to be connected to the bucket cover 2. When there are too many muskrats inside the trapping bucket 1, when the user takes the bucket cover 2, the blocking mechanism will be taken out together, reducing the obstruction when taking out the muskrats. Through the sliding connection between the storage groove 14 and the telescopic rod 15, the shape of the return spring 17 is restricted when it is compressed, preventing the return spring 17 from being bent at a large angle and affecting its use. Through the setting of the third limit block 18, it is prevented that the guide rod 11 disengages from the inside of the guiding through groove 13 during movement, so as to ensure that the baffle 9 can be closed in time.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
