Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a non-damaging pedal-type continuous mouse-catching device, belonging to the technical field of mouse-catching equipment. Background Art

[0002] Rodents are the most diverse group of mammals. They are small, reproduce rapidly, are highly adaptable, and are found in a wide variety of habitats. Rodents have a complex relationship with humans. For example, voles and house mice damage crops and can carry and transmit pathogens that endanger human health. However, rodents also hold significant research value in genetics, disease modeling, and behavioral studies, and are frequently used as model species in scientific research. Therefore, efficient and minimally damaging capture devices are crucial.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of mousetraps, cages, sticky traps, and electric mousetraps, but they still have limitations. For example, mousetraps and electric mousetraps cannot catch live mice, are complex, and may cause accidental harm to people or pets. Sticky traps are susceptible to environmental factors, and their efficiency is easily affected by live mice. Mousetraps can catch live mice, but most cannot catch mice repeatedly, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem addressed by this utility model is to provide a non-invasive, pedal-operated continuous mousetrap device that can be placed in various environments to trap mice as needed, and can also automatically and continuously capture mice. This device eliminates the need for human intervention during operation, saving time and significantly improving mouse-catching efficiency. Furthermore, all captured individuals are alive, facilitating the capture and study of small rodents in the wild.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the specific technical solutions of the present invention are as follows: a non-destructive pedal-type continuous mousetrap device, comprising a positioning frame and a mousetrap box, the cross-section of the positioning frame is a trapezoidal structure, the slopes on both sides serve as side ladders, a rectangular opening is provided on the top surface of the positioning frame, a rotating shaft is provided on one side of the end of the rectangular opening, a connecting hole is provided in the boss at the eccentric part of the lower surface of the pedal, the connecting hole is coaxially matched with the rotating shaft, and the length direction of the pedal is consistent with the length direction of the rectangular opening; a bait box is provided on the upper surface of the pedal and at one end away from the rotating shaft, and a counterweight is provided at the other end; the lower surface of the pedal and the end with the counterweight are in contact with the top surface of the positioning frame; one end of a thin wire is connected to the bottom surface of the pedal, and the other end of the thin wire is connected to the corresponding position on the top surface of the positioning frame; the mousetrap box is a box-shaped structure with an open upper end, and the opening is located at the lower end of the rectangular opening of the positioning frame.

[0006] There are four rotating shafts, two of which form a group, and each group is arranged side by side on both sides of the rectangular opening. Each rotating shaft corresponds to a connected pedal; the pedals are positioned opposite to each other and the end with the bait box does not interfere with each other.

[0007] The bottom surface of the positioning frame is provided with a positioning groove, and the bottom surface of the mousetrap box is seated in the positioning groove.

[0008] The non-destructive pedal-type continuous mousetrap device of the present application adopts the above-mentioned structure, which can attract mice to the pedal in the form of bait, and drop them into the mousetrap box under the eccentric action. It can not only achieve continuous mouse capture, but also the mousetrap box contains living animals, which provides convenience for studying mice and prevents the spread of bacteria by decaying corpses.

[0012] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the working status of the non-destructive pedal-type continuous mousetrap device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a non-destructive pedal-type continuous mousetrap device includes a positioning frame 1 and a mousetrap box 2. The cross-section of the positioning frame 1 is a trapezoidal structure, and the slopes on both sides serve as side ladders 3. A rectangular opening is provided on the top surface of the positioning frame 1, and a rotating shaft 4 is provided on one side of the end of the rectangular opening. A connecting hole 8 is provided in a boss at an eccentric position on the lower surface of the pedal 5, and the connecting hole 8 is coaxially matched with the rotating shaft 4, and the length direction of the pedal 5 is consistent with the length direction of the rectangular opening; a bait box 7 is provided on the upper surface of the pedal 5 and at one end away from the rotating shaft 4, and a counterweight 6 is provided at the other end; the lower surface of the pedal 5 and the end with the counterweight 6 are in contact with the top surface of the positioning frame 1; one end of a thin wire 9 is connected to the bottom surface of the pedal 5, and the other end of the thin wire 9 is connected to the corresponding position on the top surface of the positioning frame 1; the mousetrap box 2 is a box-shaped structure with an open top, and the opening is located at the lower end of the rectangular opening of the positioning frame 1. When the mouse reaches the pedal 5, the counterweight 6 is not enough to support the mouse's gravity, and the pedal 5 rotates eccentrically, causing the mouse to fall. At the same time, since a thin wire 9 is provided at the bottom of the pedal 5, the pedal 5 is flipped with an angle limit. Therefore, when the mouse leaves the pedal 5, the pedal 5 is restored to a horizontal state under the action of the counterweight 6.

[0014] To improve mouse trapping efficiency, four rotating shafts 4 are arranged in groups of two, one on each side of the rectangular opening. Each rotating shaft 4 is connected to a corresponding pedal 5. The opposing pedals 5, each end with the bait box 7, do not interfere with each other. Regardless of which side ladder 3 a mouse uses to reach the top, it will advance toward a different pedal, which then flips eccentrically, causing the mouse to fall into the mousetrap box 2.

[0015] The bottom surface of the positioning frame 1 is provided with a positioning groove, and the bottom surface of the mousetrap box 2 is seated in the positioning groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the mousetrap box 2 and preventing it from overturning.
