[0024] Referring to the drawings Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the drawings, the escape mouse catching device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a catching box 1, the catching box 1 is made of transparent acrylic plate, so as to observe whether the escaped mouse is trapped in the catching box 1, the bottom surface of the catching box 1 is open and the other side surfaces are kept closed, which is suitable for catching the escaped mouse in an open environment. Meanwhile, the catching box 1 is composed of two split boxes 2, the two split boxes 2 are spliced into the catching box 1 by being attracted to each other through the embedded magnets 3 on the facing surfaces of the two split boxes 2, and the single split box 2 is suitable for catching the escaped mouse which leans against an obstacle. Meanwhile, the split box 2 has a three-section telescopic structure, in the process of catching the escaped mouse, the split box 2 is in the extended state, has a larger catching space to cover the escaped mouse, and after covering the mouse, the split box 2 is contracted into one section, so as to reduce the activity space of the escaped mouse and facilitate the experimenter to catch the escaped mouse.

[0025] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the split box 2 includes three telescopic sections, which are defined as the first telescopic section 201, the second telescopic section 202, and the third telescopic section 203 for ease of explanation. The third telescopic section 203 retracts within the second telescopic section 202, and the second telescopic section 202 retracts within the first telescopic section 201. Correspondingly, the first telescopic section 201 is provided with a slot 4 for storing the second telescopic section 202, and the second telescopic section 202 is provided with a slot 4 for storing the third telescopic section 203, thus allowing adjacent telescopic sections to interlock and form a telescopic structure. Furthermore, as... Figure 2 As shown, a limiting groove 5 is also provided on the side of the slot 4, and a limiting block 6 is integrally formed on the side of the second telescopic section 202 and the third telescopic section 203. The limiting block 6 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 5. The limiting groove 5 and the limiting block 6 are two symmetrical sets, so that the cooperation between the limiting groove 5 and the limiting block 6 prevents the two adjacent telescopic sections from separating from each other. In order to realize the combination of the two split boxes 2 into the capture box 1, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, grooves are opened on the lateral end faces of the first telescopic section 201 and the third telescopic section 203, and magnets 3 are embedded in the grooves. Thus, when the two separate boxes 2 are aligned with each other, they are spliced ​​together to form a capture box 1 by magnetic attraction.

[0026] It is conceivable that, since the split box 2 adopts a three-section telescopic structure, when capturing an escaped mouse, the split box 2 needs to be kept in an extended state and not retracted arbitrarily. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, a damping element is provided between two adjacent telescopic sections. The damping element is used to provide contraction resistance when the split box 2 is in a fully extended state. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, the damping component includes a spring-headed pin 7 and a pin hole 8. The spring-headed pin 7 and the pin hole 8 are respectively set in two adjacent telescopic sections. When the two telescopic sections are in the extended state, the spring-headed pin 7 is engaged in the pin hole 8. It is easy to see that, due to the damping component, when the three telescopic sections are in the fully extended state, the spring-headed pin 7 is engaged in the pin hole 8, which provides a certain resistance to the extension and retraction of the three telescopic sections. A certain external force is required to remove the spring-headed pin 7 from the pin hole 8 in order to achieve the retraction of the split box 2. Therefore, the setting of the damping component prevents the split box 2 from extending and retracting arbitrarily during the capture of the escaped mouse, which helps to maintain the capture space of the split box 2 and complete the capture of the escaped mouse.

[0027] In addition, during the capture of escaped mice, to facilitate the handling and placement of capture box 1 or split box 2, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 11 is provided on the outer side of the second telescopic section 202, and a clearance groove 13 is provided on the first telescopic section 201 to avoid the handle 11. The capture box 1 or the split box 2 can be picked up and put down freely through the handle 11.

[0028] It is also not difficult to understand that after the mouse is trapped in the capture box 1 or the split box 2, in order to facilitate the hand to reach into the box to catch the escaped mouse, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of each telescopic section is provided with a detachable top cover 9, and the top covers 9 are inserted and matched with each other. Specifically, threaded holes are arranged at the top of the first telescopic section 201, the second telescopic section 202 and the third telescopic section 203, and the top cover 9 is fixed at the top of each telescopic section through the screw 10 corresponding to the threaded hole. Meanwhile, the top covers 9 at the top of the first telescopic section 201 and the second telescopic section 202 are in the structure of "Π", the top cover 9 of the second telescopic section 202 is inserted into the top cover 9 of the first telescopic section 201, and the top cover 9 of the third telescopic section 203 is inserted into the top cover 9 of the second telescopic section 202, so as to facilitate the telescopic structure of the split box 2. At the same time, by unscrewing the screw 10, the three top covers 9 can be removed, and the escaped mouse in the capture box 1 can be caught. Of course, a handle 12 is arranged on each top cover 9, which facilitates the telescopic and taking of the top cover 9.

[0029] In summary, the escape mouse capture device provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a capture box, the capture box is composed of two split boxes, the split box adopts a telescopic structure of three sections, and the split box can be used alone or combined into the capture box. The split box can be used to capture the escaped mouse close to the obstacle on one side, and the capture box can be used to capture the mouse in the open environment. By using the telescopic structure of the split box, the activity space of the mouse can be reduced after the mouse is captured, so that the mouse is more convenient to catch.

[0030] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
