Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a non-damaging rotary drum type continuous mouse catching device, belonging to the technical field of mouse catching equipment. Background Art
[0002] Rodents are widely distributed and highly adaptable. In areas and seasons where rodent infestation is severe, they can damage crops, contaminate food, and chew through electrical wires, causing economic losses. They can also carry a variety of bacterial infections and diseases, posing a threat to human health.
[0003] While there are currently a variety of mouse-catching methods, including sticky traps, mousetraps, and mousecages, these methods still have some drawbacks. For example, sticky traps are significantly affected by the environment; damp or dusty weather can easily reduce the stickiness of the traps, resulting in low mouse-catching efficiency. Traditional mousetraps and mousecages, on the other hand, can only catch one mouse at a time, and the bait will be consumed, making continuous mouse-catching impossible. Furthermore, the mice captured by the present invention are all alive, making them useful for studying small rodents and facilitating field experiments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a non-destructive rotating drum continuous mouse trapping device, which can be placed in different environments to trap mice according to needs. However, since mice cannot eat the bait, the mouse trapping device can trap mice continuously, and the individuals caught by the device are all alive, which can also provide certain conveniences for the study of live mice 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 rotary drum continuous mousetrap device, which is provided with an upper cover on the top of a box body; a side ladder opening is provided on the side of the box body, and a side ladder with a height consistent with the bottom edge of the side ladder opening is provided directly below the side ladder opening; a trapping device is connected to the side wall of the box body through a rotating shaft, and the trapping device is composed of six hollow circular tubes distributed circumferentially, and a rotating shaft is provided at the axis formed by the six hollow circular tubes, and a rotating shaft is provided on the rotating shaft, which is evenly distributed on the circumference and connected to the corresponding hollow circular tubes, and the rotating shaft is connected to the box body on the side with the side ladder opening, and one of the hollow circular tubes corresponds to the position of the side ladder opening; a bait placement platform is provided at the same height as the surface corresponding to the side ladder opening.
[0006] One end of the hollow circular tube is in contact with the inner surface of the box body, and the other end is away from the bait placement platform.
[0007] The height from the bottom of the trapping device to the bottom surface of the box body is higher than the body length of the mouse; and the top of the trapping device does not interfere with the upper cover.
[0008] The hollow circular tube is a hollow tube with a length of 200 mm and a diameter of 100 mm.
[0009] The non-destructive rotating drum continuous mouse trapping device of the present application adopts the above-mentioned structure, and uses bait to lure mice into the trapping device from the side ladder opening. Under the action of gravity, the trapping device rotates to bring the mice into the box. The mice cannot touch the bait during the whole process, so mice can be caught continuously, providing a new method for continuous mouse trapping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 2 The figure is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the mousetrap (the upper cover and front wall are omitted).
[0012] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Another angle diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a non-destructive rotary drum continuous mousetrap device is provided with an upper cover 9 on the top of a box body 1; a side ladder opening 5 is provided on the side of the box body 1, and a side ladder 4 with a height consistent with the bottom edge of the side ladder opening 5 is provided directly below the side ladder opening 5; a trapping device 6 is connected to the side wall of the box body 1 through a rotating shaft, and the trapping device 6 is composed of six hollow circular tubes 6-1 distributed around the circumference, and a rotating shaft 6-2 is provided at the axis formed by the six hollow circular tubes 6-1, and support arms 6-3 uniformly distributed around the circumference are provided on the rotating shaft 6-2 and are distributed and connected to corresponding hollow circular tubes 6-1, and the rotating shaft 6-2 is connected to the box body 1 on the side with the side ladder opening 5, and one of the hollow circular tubes 6-1 corresponds to the position of the side ladder opening 5; a bait placement platform 2 is provided at the same height as the surface corresponding to the side ladder opening 5.
[0014] One end of the hollow circular tube 6 - 1 is in contact with the inner surface of the box 1 , and the other end is away from the bait placement platform 2 .
[0015] The height from the bottom of the trapping device 6 to the bottom surface of the box body 1 is higher than the body length of the mouse; the top of the trapping device 6 does not interfere with the upper cover 9.
[0016] The non-destructive rotating drum continuous mousetrap device has the following mouse catching process: the mouse is lured by the bait on the bait placement table and moves along the side ladder 4 through the side ladder opening 5 into the hollow circular tube 6-1 corresponding to the trapping device 6. Since the trapping device 6 is eccentric, the trapping device 6 rotates under the action of gravity, and the hollow circular tube 7 where the mouse is located rotates to the lowest position. The mouse in the hollow circular tube 6-1 can neither touch the bait nor escape, and can only crawl out of the hollow circular tube 7 and enter the box 1. At the same time, the position of the box opening is occupied by other hollow circular tubes, which does not affect subsequent mouse catching.
