Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rat-catching device, specifically a straight-through arc-shaped pedal rat trap that combines an arc-shaped one-way door with a tubular rocker. Background Technology
[0002] Rats destroy food, grains, crops, clothing, furniture, appliances, and any other items, and carry various bacteria, germs, and even plague. Humans have been fighting rats for centuries, but with little success. This is because rats reproduce quickly and in large numbers, are alert, and highly intelligent. If caught in a rat trap, they will scream and alert other rats, causing them to stay away. Especially after bleeding, they will never touch the trap again. Clever rats can also avoid and jump over sticky traps to prevent being caught.
[0003] Currently, the market is flooded with rat-catching equipment, such as rat cages, rat traps, rat snares, rat bows, glue boards, electronic rat traps, electric shock rat traps, rat poison, and ultrasonic rat traps. Most of these existing products are complex in structure, have high manufacturing costs, or consume a lot of energy. While Chinese invention patent CN107484749A successfully solves these problems, its disclosed technical solution reveals that the five-sided plastic tube, which plays a key role in this patented technology, requires separate injection molding, increasing costs and making operation inconvenient, especially in confined spaces. Furthermore, this technology can only catch one rat at a time, resulting in low utilization and requiring frequent adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive – its biggest drawback. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the technical deficiencies mentioned in the background art by providing a straight-through arc-shaped pedal mousetrap. This device is a cylindrical mousetrap specially designed to address the natural characteristics of mice, such as their tendency to burrow, slip along edges, avoid metal objects, and react to novelty. It consists of an arc-shaped one-way door and a tubular seesaw.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] See appendix Figure 1-2 The direct-access arc-shaped pedal mousetrap disclosed in this utility model includes a mousetrap tube 2, inside which a tubular rocker 3 and a one-way door 4 are installed; the tubular rocker 3 and the one-way door 4 are respectively hinged inside the mousetrap tube 2 by connecting parts; the upper end of the inlet side of the tubular rocker 3 contacts the upper end of the outlet side of the one-way door 4.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 The square structure on the outside of the rat trap tube 2 ensures the stability of the tank; the inner tube is a hollow dodecagonal tube, and supports are set at the four intersections between the outer square and the inner circle, which increases the strength of the rat trap tube 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, see Figure 3A square plug 1 is installed on the outlet side of the rat trap tube 2. An installation hole is provided on the upper part of the outlet side of the rat trap tube. The outer square tube of the rat trap tube is inserted into the square plug 1 through a transition fit, and is tightly connected by bolts or other connecting parts that mate with the installation hole to achieve a seal. Generally, the shape of the square plug 1 corresponds to the shape of the outlet side of the rat trap tube, effectively preventing rats from escaping; inner diameter dimensions...
[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 4-6 The tubular seesaw 3 includes a seesaw body 3-1, which is a hollow circular tube. The lower part of its inlet side 3-2 is an inclined surface that slopes from the axis towards the outlet side, and the upper part of its outlet side 3-3 is an inclined surface that slopes from the lower part of the seesaw body towards the inlet side. Symmetrical seesaw hinge holes 3-4 are provided on both sides of the middle of the upper edge of the outlet side of the seesaw body. These hinge holes 3-4 are hinged to the through hole in the middle of the mouse trap tube via a seesaw connecting shaft 5.
[0038] In this embodiment, see Figure 7-9 The one-way door 4 includes an arc-shaped door body 4-1, which is a triangular curved surface structure. The lower part of its exit side is an inclined surface that slopes towards the entrance end. The unfolded plane of the entire one-way door is a triangular structure, and its entrance side is a semi-circular structure. The two sides of the lower part of its entrance side are symmetrically provided with one-way door hinge holes 4-2. The one-way door hinge holes 4-2 are hinged to the through hole at the end of the mouse trap tube 2 through the one-way door connecting shaft 6.
[0039] Preferably, the curved door body has at least one ventilation hole 4-3. The ventilation hole 4-3 is mainly used for light transmission, odor dissipation, and observation; it can be a circular hole, such as... Figure 8 It can also be a triangular hole, such as... Figure 7 and 9 .
[0040] Preferably, the rocker hinge hole 3-4 and the one-way door hinge hole 4-3 are located on the same horizontal axis.
[0041] Preferably, the lower edge of the entrance side of the arc-shaped door 4-1 is provided with an outwardly extending lever protrusion 4-4, which can be provided on one side or symmetrically on both sides; in this embodiment, it is provided only on the right side. The door can be reset by flicking the lever protrusion 4-4 downwards with a finger.
[0042] See Figure 10-11In normal conditions, the bottom surface of the inlet side of the tubular seesaw is tightly attached to the inner diameter of the rat trap tube. Under the action of the seesaw connecting shaft, the outlet side of the tubular seesaw tilts upward. The one-way door rotation shaft on the one-way door 4 is positioned rearward, and the lower part of the outlet end of the one-way door 4 overlaps with the upper end surface of the inlet side of the tubular seesaw to prevent its outlet end from falling downward under the action of gravity. Point A of the tubular seesaw 3 is the support point for the opening and closing of the one-way door 4. Preferably, the axial distance between the contact points of the tubular seesaw 3 and the one-way door 4 is less than the downward swing distance of the outlet side of the tubular seesaw.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be arranged in different shapes or specifications according to the actual site conditions: it can be placed as a single tube, or placed in pairs, which is equivalent to entering from both sides; it can also be arranged in rows or stacked, and various methods are optional.
[0044] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0045] When initially setting up this rat trap, simply press down on the protrusion with your thumb. The one-way door outlet side will lift the tubular rocker and continue to lift. Under the action of the rocker connecting shaft, the inlet side of the tubular rocker will first tilt upward and the outlet side will press down. After the operator withdraws their hand, the outlet side of the one-way door will fall onto the upper surface of the inlet side of the tubular rocker and lock in place, returning to the initial position.
[0046] When a mouse discovers the tube hole and enters straight inside, passing the center of the tubular seesaw, its own weight causes the exit side of the seesaw to be pressed down, while the entrance side tilts upward. In reality, its horizontal position is an arc shifted backward, causing the one-way door to lose support and close under gravity. Because the tube is narrow, the mouse cannot exit from the front, nor can it open the arc-shaped one-way door backward, thus successfully capturing it. Once the captured mouse becomes the leader, subsequent mice, upon discovering a pioneer foraging or moving inside the plastic tube, enter the trap. Later mice can push open the one-way door during their entry to continue. Once inside, the one-way door cannot be opened from the other side, achieving continuous mouse capture.
