Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rat-catching device, and more particularly to a lifting rat-driving device and a rat-catching cage using such a lifting rat-driving device. Background Technology

[0002] A mousetrap, also known as a rat trap, is a device that uses physical methods to trap rats. Traditional mousetraps mainly rely on rats actively triggering the trap mechanism to catch them. For example, a rat might step on a seesaw, causing it to lose its balance and thus be caught. However, for highly alert and sensitive rats, once they sense a loss of balance, they will run back, leading to a failed capture. To solve this problem, existing technologies add a control door at the entrance of the mousetrap. Once a sensor detects a rat entering the trap, the control door closes to prevent the rat from escaping. While this method reduces the possibility of rats escaping, some highly alert rats will remain motionless in a corner for a long time, neither escaping nor entering the trap, which can cause the sensor to misdetect. Once the control door opens, the rat can easily escape again.

[0003] Existing patent CN113575562B discloses a free-fall type fully automatic intelligent continuous mousetrap, including a box, a compression plate and a sealing plate. The sealing plate is used to block the entrance of the mousetrap, and the compression plate can be lowered to drive the mice away, ensuring that the trapped mice can be driven to the trap. However, in this structure, the compression plate and the sealing plate are controlled by two separate power systems, which makes the structure complex, costly and power-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lifting rodent-driving device with reasonable structural design and simple control method, which can prevent rats from escaping and drive them away, ensuring that rats can smoothly enter the trap, and a rat cage using this lifting rodent-driving device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a lifting rodent-repelling device, installed in the rodent-catching area of ​​a rodent-catching cage, characterized in that it includes a lifting rodent-repelling plate and a lifting control device that drives the lifting rodent-repelling plate to rise and fall within the rodent-catching area; the side end of the lifting rodent-repelling plate is provided with a sliding lifting gate for closing or opening the entrance to the rodent-catching area; an opening and closing control switch is provided between the lifting gate and the lifting rodent-repelling plate; the opening and closing control switch restricts the lifting gate from rising with the lifting rodent-repelling plate to open the entrance to the rodent-catching area, and releases the lifting gate to fall and close the entrance to the rodent-catching area; a sensor is also provided within the rodent-catching area; the opening and closing control switch, the lifting control device, and the sensor are electrically connected.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the surface of the lifting rodent-repelling plate is provided with an upwardly protruding, hollowed-out rodent-trapping cavity. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate is lowered to its lowest position, the rodent-trapping cavity corresponds to the rodent-entry point of the rodent-catching channel.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the opening and closing control switch includes an electric control switch located at the end of the lifting rodent-repelling plate, and the surface of the lifting gate is provided with an opening and closing limit hole. The telescopic end of the electric control switch is used in conjunction with the opening and closing limit hole.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a gate spring is provided between the cage body of the rat trap and the lifting gate to drive the lifting gate to reset and descend.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the lifting rodent-repelling plate is vertically slidably installed on the cage body of the rodent trap via a lifting slide rail or a lifting guide column;

[0011] The lifting control device includes multiple pulleys arranged on the cage body of the rat trap. A lifting rope is wound around the pulley. One end of the lifting rope is fixedly connected to the lifting rat-repelling plate, and the other end of the lifting rope is wound and wound onto a rope reel.

[0012] Alternatively, the lifting control device may include a second pull rope reel rotatably mounted on the cage body of the rat trap, with a second lifting pull rope wound on the second pull rope reel, the free end of the second lifting pull rope fixedly connected to the lifting rat-driving plate, and the second pull rope reel directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the power device.

[0013] Alternatively, the lifting control device may include multiple pulleys 2 arranged on the cage body of the rat trap, with a lifting rope 3 wound around the pulleys 2. One end of the lifting rope 3 is fixedly connected to the lifting rat-repelling plate. The lifting control device may also include a pulley 1, which is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the power device through a transmission belt 1. The other end of the lifting rope 3 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 1.

[0014] Alternatively, the lifting control device may include a horizontal lead screw, on which a lead screw slide is threadedly installed. The lead screw slide is connected to the lifting rodent-repelling plate via a parallel four-bar linkage. The horizontal lead screw is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the power device.

[0015] Alternatively, the lifting control device may include a vertical lead screw, which is threadedly connected to the lifting rodent-repelling plate, and the vertical lead screw is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the power device.

[0016] Another preferred technical solution is a rat trap, which includes a cage body, a rat trapping area, a rat storage area, and a rat trapping channel connecting the rat trapping area and the rat storage area. The rat trapping area is equipped with the aforementioned lifting and deflecting rat device, and the rat storage area is equipped with a rat trapping device and a rat storage device.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the rat-catching device includes a flip plate located above the rat storage device. The flip plate is rotatably connected to the cage body. One end of the flip plate corresponds to the rat outlet of the rat-catching channel, and a rat-attracting box is installed at the other end of the flip plate. A sensor is located above the flip plate near the rat-attracting box.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the flip plate is a non-powered flip plate, and the end of the non-powered flip plate near the mouse trap is provided with an upper limit block abutting against the upper surface of the end of the non-powered flip plate and a rotation limit rod or telescopic limit rod abutting against the lower surface of the end of the non-powered flip plate.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating shaft of the flip plate is connected to the rodent-catching power device, which also serves as the power source for the lifting control device.

[0020] Alternatively, the lifting control device may be connected to the lifting power device, which also serves as the power source for the tilting plate.

[0021] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] I. This device is designed with a lifting rodent-repelling platform. By lowering and reducing the space, it drives away rats, thus improving the device's rat-catching efficiency. The opening and closing of the lifting gate is controlled by an on / off control switch. The lifting gate rises synchronously with the power of the lifting rodent-repelling platform, reducing the power source. At the same time, the lifting gate can also descend independently relative to the lifting rodent-repelling platform to close, preventing rats from escaping. Its structural design is reasonable and the control method is simple. It can both prevent rats from escaping and drive them away, ensuring that rats can smoothly enter the trap and improving the device's rat-catching efficiency.

[0023] Second, the lifting power of the lifting rodent-repelling plate and the flipping power of the flipping plate can use the same motor, which consumes little power and is suitable for a wide range of scenarios.

[0024] Third, rats are social animals with a clear hierarchy and a habit of hoarding food. When venturing out to catch rats, they primarily target smaller rats. Larger rats are more alert and resilient, so smaller rats are generally the ones caught. Once caught, smaller rats will use every means to transmit danger signals to the group, alerting the group, especially the larger rats, to the danger and causing them to move away. This renders the rat trap ineffective, which is a major reason why most rat traps are inefficient or fail after only a few uses. This device traps rats by confining, driving, and turning them over, causing them to drown inside the trap. Throughout the entire trapping process, the rats have no opportunity to transmit danger signals. The trap can be used continuously, with a high success rate and effectiveness.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a mousetrap includes a cage body 100. The cage body 100 contains a mouse-catching area 200, a mouse-storing area 300, and a mouse-catching passage 400 connecting the mouse-catching area 200 and the mouse-storing area 300. The mouse-catching area 200 contains a lifting and deflecting device, and the mouse-storing area 300 contains both a mouse-catching device and a mouse-storing device. In this embodiment, the mouse-storing area 300 is located behind the mouse-catching area 200 and is connected via the mouse-catching passage 400. The mouse-catching area 200 has no bottom plate, reducing the "novelty reaction" of mice. By reducing their alertness, mice quickly enter the mousetrap, improving trapping efficiency. In use, mice enter the mouse-catching area 200 and are driven to the entrance of the mouse-catching passage 400 by the lifting and deflecting device. They then enter the mouse-storing area 300 through the passage, where the mouse-catching device drops the mouse into the mouse-storing device, completing the trapping process. The rat-catching area 200 has an entrance 201 located at the bottom side of the cage 100. The rat-catching area 200 has an exit 202, which is the entrance of the rat-catching passage 400, located at the bottom of the cage 100. The rat-catching passage 400 is a narrow passage that guides rats to climb upwards. The rat-catching passage 400 has an exit 202, which is the entrance of the rat-storage area 300, located at the top of the cage 100.

[0051] See Figures 6 to 9The lifting rodent-repelling device is installed in the rodent-catching area 200 of the rodent-catching cage. It includes a lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 and a lifting control device. The lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is vertically slidably installed on the cage body 100 of the rodent-catching cage via a lifting slide rail 502 or a lifting guide column. The lifting control device can drive the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to rise and fall within the rodent-catching area 200. The function of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is to drive away rats trapped in the rodent-catching area 200, preventing rats from remaining stationary for extended periods, which would affect the detection accuracy of the device. It also shortens the rat-catching time and improves the rat-catching efficiency of the device. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is at its highest point, rats can move freely below. As the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 descends, it drives away rats. After descending to its lowest point, the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is close to the ground.

[0052] See Figures 2 to 5 The lifting control device includes multiple pulleys 503 arranged on the cage body 100 of the rat trap. A lifting rope 504 is wound around each pulley 503. One end of the lifting rope 504 is fixedly connected to the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501, and the other end is wound onto a rope reel 505. The lifting rope 504 can be made of steel wire rope. A power device drives the rope reel 505 to rotate, causing the steel wire rope to unwind and pull the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 up and down. This pulley and steel wire rope combination simplifies the structure. By rationally arranging the number and position of the pulleys 503, the traction of the steel wire rope is achieved. The number and position of the pulleys 503 and the lifting rope 504 can be designed according to actual needs, which can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative inspiration, and will not be elaborated here.

[0053] See Figures 6 to 9The side end of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is provided with a sliding lifting gate 601 for closing or opening the entrance 201 of the rodent-catching area 200. The lifting gate 601 is slidably and vertically installed on the cage body 100 of the rodent-catching cage via a gate guide post 602 or a gate guide rail. An opening and closing control switch is provided between the lifting gate 601 and the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. The opening and closing control switch restricts the lifting gate 601 from rising with the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to open the entrance 201 of the rodent-catching area 200, and releases the lifting gate 601 to descend and close the entrance 201 of the rodent-catching area 200. A sensor 700 is also provided in the rodent-catching area 200. The opening and closing control switch, the lifting control device and the sensor 700 are electrically connected. Before use, the opening and closing control switch is activated. During the upward sliding of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 under the control of the lifting control device, the lifting gate 601 rises synchronously with the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. When the device is in use, if a rat enters the rat-catching area 200 through the rat inlet below the lifting gate 601, and the sensor 700 detects the rat's presence, it sends signals to the opening and closing control switch and the lifting control device. First, the opening and closing control switch activates, releasing the lifting gate 601. The lowering gate 601 rapidly descends to close the entrance 201 of the rat-catching area 200, trapping the rats within and preventing their escape. Simultaneously or within a few seconds, the lifting control device activates, causing the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to slowly slide downwards. During this descent, the space in the rat-catching area 200 below is reduced, creating a sense of pressure for the rats and causing them to flee to the entrance of the rat-catching channel 400 and enter the rat-storage area 300. The rat-catching device then drops the rats into the storage area. In this embodiment, the lifting gate 601 can be raised synchronously with the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 via the opening and closing control switch. Both the lifting gate 601 and the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 utilize the power of the lifting control device for pulling upwards. The ingenious design of the opening and closing control switch reduces the upward force required, resulting in advantages such as simple structure, convenient control, and low cost.

[0054] The surface of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is provided with an upwardly protruding, hollowed-out rat-trapping cavity 506. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is lowered to its lowest position, the rat-trapping cavity 506 corresponds to the rat-entry opening of the rat-trapping channel 400. The rat-trapping cavity 506 is an upwardly protruding, hollowed-out structure. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is lowered to its lowest position, the rat-trapping cavity 506 is surrounded by its bottom end and the cage body 100, forming only one opening, which corresponds to the rat-entry opening of the rat-trapping channel 400. The rat-trapping cavity 506 provides space for the movement of rats, allowing them to quickly and accurately enter the rat-entry opening of the rat-trapping channel 400 through the rat-trapping cavity 506, preventing rats from remaining stationary in the rat-trapping area 200 for an extended period of time.

[0055] To improve the detection accuracy of the device, the sensor 700 is located at the position of the mouse trapping cavity 506 when the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is at its lowest point. Before the lifting gate 601 is closed, when a mouse enters the mouse-trapping area 200 and approaches the mouse-trapping cavity 506, the sensor 700 sends a signal to close the lifting gate 601, keeping the mouse slightly away from the gate and preventing it from escaping during the closing process. Furthermore, when the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 descends to its lowest point and traps the mouse in the mouse-trapping cavity 506, the sensor 700, positioned corresponding to the cavity, can accurately detect the mouse's location or presence within the cavity. This corresponding design of the sensor 700 and the mouse-trapping cavity 506 avoids detection errors due to the sensor's limited detection range.

[0056] In this embodiment, the rat-catching area 200 has two rat-entry ports 201 corresponding to the two ends of the lifting rat-driving plate 501, and two lifting gates 601 corresponding to the two ends of the lifting rat-driving plate 501. The rat-trapping cavity 506 and the rat-catching channel 400 are located in the middle of the lifting rat-driving plate 501. The lifting gates 601 on both sides rise and fall synchronously, cooperating to close the two rat-entry ports of the rat-catching area 200 simultaneously, accurately trapping the rat inside the rat-catching area 200. The sensor 700 is located at the bottom center of the rat-trapping cage, corresponding to the position of the rat-trapping cavity 506, and is a certain distance away from the rat-entry ports 201 of the rat-catching area 200, which can improve the accuracy of rat trapping. The sensor 700 can be an infrared sensor, with its detection head facing the inside of the rat-trapping area 200, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The opening and closing control switch includes an electric control switch 800 located at the end of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. The surface of the lifting gate 601 is provided with an opening and closing limit hole 603. The telescopic end of the electric control switch 800 is used in conjunction with the opening and closing limit hole 603. The electric control switch 800 is electrically connected to the sensor 700. The sensor 700 can send a signal to the electric control switch 800 to control the extension or retraction of the telescopic end of the electric control switch 800. The electric control switch 800 can be an electric telescopic rod or an electric telescopic motor. Its telescopic end corresponds to the opening and closing limit hole 603. When the telescopic end extends and is inserted into the opening and closing limit hole 603, the lifting gate 601 is restricted by the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. During the upward movement of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501, the lifting gate 601 will rise synchronously through the cooperation of the telescopic end and the opening and closing limit hole 603. When the telescopic end retracts from the opening and closing limit hole 603, the opening and closing of the lifting gate 601 is no longer restricted by the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501, and the lifting gate 601 will automatically descend to close.

[0058] A gate spring is provided between the cage body 100 of the rat trap and the lifting gate 601 to drive the lifting gate 601 to return and descend. The gate spring is used to realize the rapid descent and closure of the lifting gate 601. In this embodiment, the gate spring can be a tension spring or a compression spring. When it is a tension spring, one end of the tension spring is fixed to the bottom end of the cage body 100, and the other end of the tension spring is fixed to the bottom end of the lifting gate 601. When the extension end of the electric control switch 800 is retracted, the tension spring can quickly pull the lifting gate 601 downward to close. When it is a compression spring, one end of the compression spring is fixed to the top end of the cage body 100, and the other end of the compression spring is fixed to the top end of the lifting gate 601. When the extension end of the electric control switch 800 is retracted, the compression spring can quickly push the lifting gate 601 downward to close. Without the gate spring, the lifting gate 601 can slide downwards and close under its own weight after the telescopic end of the electronic switch 800 retracts. However, the lifting gate 601 is difficult to close quickly. With the gate spring, the lifting gate 601 can close quickly in a short time, preventing rats from escaping and improving the accuracy of rat trapping. Whether or not a gate spring is provided, it is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] See Figure 3 and Figure 5The mouse-catching device includes a flip-up plate 901 disposed above the mouse storage device. The flip-up plate 901 is rotatably connected to the cage body 100. One end of the flip-up plate 901 corresponds to the mouse outlet of the mouse-catching channel 400, and the other end of the flip-up plate 901 is equipped with a mouse-attracting box 902. A sensor 903 is disposed above the flip-up plate 901 near the mouse-attracting box 902. One end of the rotation axis of the flip-up plate 901 is connected to the mouse-catching power device. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the flip-up plate 901 is arranged along the left-right direction of the cage body 100. The rat-catching power device is a motor located in the rat-collecting area 300. The motor body is fixed to the cage 100 within the rat-collecting area 300. The rotating end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the flipping plate 901, and the pull rope reel 505 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft of the flipping plate 901. In this case, the motor in the rat-collecting area 300 also serves as the power source for the lifting control device. This device, through reasonable arrangement, uses the same power source for control. Alternatively, the lifting control device is connected to the lifting power device, i.e., a motor is installed in the rat-catching area 200. The motor drives the rotation of the pull rope reel 505, and simultaneously transmits power to the rotating shaft end of the flipping plate 901 through a transmission belt, transmission chain, etc. In this case, the lifting power device also serves as the power source for the flipping plate 901.

[0060] The rat storage device includes a rat storage box without a top cover. The flip-up plate 901 is located at the top opening of the rat storage box. The rat storage box contains a mixed liquid containing antifreeze and preservatives, which can cause rats to drown quickly in the liquid. The rat storage area 300 contains liquid. After a rat falls into the rat storage area 300, it is unable to transmit "danger signals" to the outside rat population through squeaking and smell due to the drowning effect, effectively capturing "large rats" and increasing the rat-catching rate. Of course, when the liquid level is low, in order to ensure that the rats drown quickly, a discharge device can be installed below the liquid surface in the rat storage box. This anti-electric device causes the liquid to generate current, which can cause the rats to die quickly. The anti-electric device can be a discharge plate, which is supplied with current through a transformer, conducting electricity through the liquid to stun rats that enter the box. Alternatively, a discharge device can be added at the flip-up plate, which electrifies the metal flip-up plate to shock the rats.

[0061] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] Before use, the telescopic end of the electronic control switch 800 extends and is inserted into the opening / closing limit hole 603. The motor starts, the pull rope reel 505 rotates, winding up the lifting pull rope 504, which in turn drives the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to rise. During the rising process, the lifting gate 601 rises synchronously with the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 and the lifting gate 601 reach the top, wait for the status to be determined. Figure 8 and Figure 9 During this process, the flip plate 901 rotates at least 180° and then comes to a horizontal position;

[0063] In use, a mouse enters the mouse-trapping area 200 through the inlet below the lifting gate 601. Once the mouse moves within the detection range of the sensor 700, the sensor detects the mouse and sends signals to the electronic switch 800 and the motor. First, the electronic switch 800 actuates, retracting the telescopic end to release the lifting gate 601. The lifting gate 601 then rapidly descends and closes under the action of the gate spring, trapping the mouse in the mouse-trapping area 200 and preventing escape. Simultaneously or within a few seconds, the motor starts, causing the pull rope reel 505 to rotate in the opposite direction, releasing the lifting pull rope 504. The lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 slowly and uniformly slides downwards, reducing the space in the mouse-trapping area 200 below during descent, creating a sense of pressure for the mouse. When the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 reaches the ground, the mouse is forced to flee into the trapping chamber 506. (See attached diagram for details.) Figure 6 and Figure 7 During the motor startup process, the flip plate 901 rotates synchronously by at least 180° and then comes to a horizontal position to wait for the mouse to be caught. The mouse has nowhere to escape in the trapping chamber 506 and eventually enters the storage area 300 through the mouse-catching channel 400. The sensor 700 can detect the mouse leaving. The mouse enters the storage area 300 through the mouse-catching channel 400 (the mouse-catching channel 400) and comes to the flip plate 901. Under the action of the mouse-attracting box 902, the mouse gradually moves forward along the flip plate 901. When it gets close to the mouse-attracting box 902 and is detected by the sensor 903, the motor controls the flip plate 901 to rotate 90° or 180°, causing the mouse to fall into the storage device and drown in the storage device.

[0064] The motor is activated to reset, allowing for the next capture.

[0065] This device is used to catch mice, but it is not limited to mice. It is also applicable to catching other small animals and falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] Example 2:

[0067] Example 2 is structurally similar to Example 1, with the main difference being that the structure of the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is slightly different. In Example 1, the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 is a plate that is almost parallel to the ground. Therefore, a mouse may be trapped and unable to move by the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 before it can accurately locate the trapping chamber 506. To solve this problem, in Example 2, see... Figure 10 The lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 gradually tilts downwards from both ends of the rodent-trapping cavity 506 and then approaches horizontal. The tilted part leaves space for the rodent to escape and can guide the rodent to move towards a larger area.

[0068] Example 3:

[0069] In Embodiment 1, the rotation of the flip plate 901 is directly or indirectly connected to the power of the motor. In Embodiment 3, however, the flip plate 901 is not powered, and the lifting and lowering rodent-repelling plate 501 can be controlled by a single motor. (See Embodiment 3 for details.) Figure 11 and Figure 12 The lifting control device includes a second pull rope reel 507 rotatably mounted on the cage body 100 of the rat trap. A second lifting pull rope 508 is wound on the second pull rope reel 507. The free end of the second lifting pull rope 508 is fixedly connected to the lifting rat-driving plate 501. The second pull rope reel 507 is directly connected to the motor power end located in the rat-trapping area.

[0070] The flip plate 901 is a non-powered flip plate. The rotation axis of the non-powered flip plate is in the front-back direction of the mouse trap and is located at 1 / 3 of the length of the non-powered flip plate. The short side is close to the mouse entrance of the mouse storage area 300, and the long side is close to the mouse bait box 902. By adding weight blocks or other structures to the short side, the flip plate 901 is in a horizontal and balanced state before the mouse enters the mouse storage area 300. The end of the non-powered flip plate near the mouse bait box 902 is provided with an upper limit block 904 abutting against the upper surface of the end of the non-powered flip plate and a rotation limit rod or telescopic limit rod abutting against the lower surface of the end of the non-powered flip plate. The rotation limit rod is connected to the rotation end of the rotary motor, or the telescopic limit rod is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic motor. The avoidance is controlled by the sensor 903. As the mouse steps on the flip plate 901 and gradually moves towards the mouse trap 902, the rotating or telescopic limiting rod abuts against the bottom of the long side of the unpowered flip plate. The unpowered flip plate does not flip until the sensor 903 detects the mouse. At this time, the rotating limiting rod rotates to one side to avoid the mouse, or the telescopic limiting rod retracts to avoid the mouse. At this time, the balance of the unpowered flip plate is broken, and the unpowered flip plate flips rapidly, causing the mouse to fall into the mouse storage device below.

[0071] Example 4:

[0072] Example 4 combines the structures of Example 1 and Example 3. See Example 4 for details. Figure 13 and Figure 14 A motor is provided in the mouse storage area 300 to serve as the rotational power for the flip plate 901, and drives the rope reel 507 to rotate via a transmission belt and pulleys.

[0073] Example 5:

[0074] Example 5 is similar in structure to Example 1. In Example 5, see [link to example]. Figure 15 and Figure 16The lifting control device includes multiple pulleys 509 arranged on the cage body 100 of the rat trap. A lifting rope 510 is wound around each pulley 509. One end of the lifting rope 510 is fixedly connected to the lifting rat-driving plate 501. The lifting control device also includes a pulley 511, which is indirectly connected to the power end of a motor located in the rat storage area 300 via a transmission belt 512. The other end of the lifting rope 510 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 512. The lifting rope 510 can be driven by multiple pulleys 509. The pulleys 509 are arranged in a reasonable manner so that one end of the lifting rope 510 is stably fixed on the transmission belt 512, and the lifting rope 510 moves stably after the transmission belt 512 moves. At this time, the motor in the rat storage area 300 serves as the power source for the flip plate 901, and transmits the power to the rat trapping area 200 through the transmission belt. When the transmission belt 512 is driven to move, it pulls the lifting rope 510 to rise or fall, thereby driving the lifting rat-repelling plate 501 to rise or fall.

[0075] Example 6:

[0076] Example 6 is similar in structure to Example 5. In Example 6, see [link to example]. Figure 17 and Figure 18 The lifting rope 3510 is fixed to the transmission belt for pulling. At this time, the motor in the mouse trapping area 200 directly drives the transmission belt through the pulley, and a non-powered flip plate can be used in the mouse trapping area 200.

[0077] Example 7:

[0078] In Example 7, see Figure 19 and Figure 20 The lifting control device includes a horizontal lead screw 513, on which a lead screw slide 514 is threadedly mounted. The lead screw slide 514 is connected to the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 via a parallel four-bar linkage 515. The horizontal lead screw 513 is directly connected to the power end of a motor located within the rodent-repelling area. In this embodiment, two lead screw slides 514 are provided, threadedly connected to the horizontal lead screw 513, but with the threads rotating in opposite directions. After the motor is activated, the horizontal lead screw 513 rotates, and the two lead screw slides 514 slide inward or outward simultaneously, driving the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to rise and fall via the parallel lead screw. At this time, the rodent-catching area 200 can be driven by a single motor, or a non-powered flip-over plate can be used.

[0079] Example 8:

[0080] In Example 8, see Figure 21 and Figure 22The lifting control device includes a vertical lead screw 516, which is threadedly connected to the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501. The vertical lead screw 516 is directly connected to a motor located in the rodent-catching area 200. The rotation of the motor drives the vertical lead screw 516 to rotate, causing the lifting rodent-repelling plate 501 to rise and fall. In this case, a non-powered flip-up plate can be used in the rodent-catching area 200, or a separate motor can be used for driving.
