Figure 3 This is a front view of the rodent-proof device for large port equipment according to this utility model. Figure 4This is a top view of the rodent-proof device for large port equipment according to the present invention. A rodent-proof device for large port equipment includes a feeding box 1 with openings at both ends, several hooks (not shown in the figure), and several hanging slots 3. The feeding box 1 includes a middle section 11 and two inclined sections 12 respectively set at both ends of the middle section 11 and inclined downward. The bottom of the inclined section 12 away from the middle section 11 is provided with a climbing net 2. The top of the middle section 11 is provided with a feeding port. Several hooks are fixedly set, and several hanging slots 3 correspond one-to-one with several hooks. The hanging slots 3 are set on one side of the middle section 11 and are hung on the corresponding hooks.

[0027] This utility model relates to a rodent-proof device for large port equipment. Several hooks are fixedly installed on the large equipment. The feeding box 1 is then installed on the equipment via the hanging groove 3 and the hooks. The feeding box 1 is at least 15 cm above the ground, allowing it to move with the equipment, covering a wide area, and facilitating installation and maintenance. Preferably, there are two hooks and two hanging grooves 3. The rodenticide can be placed into the feeding box 1 through the inlet. Given the port's proximity to the sea, humid air, and variable climate, the feeding box 1 is designed with a ventilated structure and a sloped section 12 to ensure good drainage, thus ensuring the rodenticide can be stored in the feeding box 1 for a long time without spoiling. Climbing nets 2, approximately 12 cm high, are installed at both ends of the feeding box 1 to more effectively attract rats to feed, thereby controlling rat infestations. This device is highly scalable and can be widely promoted. This utility model solves the problems of high maintenance costs and immobility associated with traditional fixed-point rodenticide application. It can also be used for other single-biological control or multi-biological integrated control, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0028] To facilitate material placement, in one embodiment, a material basin 4 is provided at the bottom of the middle section 11 below the discharge port. A guide cylinder 5 is provided inside the discharge port, and a hopper 6 is provided at the bottom of the guide cylinder 5. When discharging material, the material is placed inside the guide cylinder 5 and falls into the hopper 6. After being collected in the hopper 6, the material falls into the material basin 4, preventing the material from spilling out of the material basin 4 during discharging.

[0029] In one embodiment, the top of the guide cylinder 5 is provided with a cover cylinder 7, and the cover cylinder 7 is provided with a cover 8 for opening or closing the top opening of the cover cylinder 7. The cover 8 can open or close the discharge port to prevent rainwater or other liquids from entering from the discharge port and causing material deterioration. In one embodiment, the cover 8 is conical and is hinged to the side wall of the cover cylinder 7. Designing the cover 8 as conical allows for easy opening and closing of the cover 8.

[0030] To monitor the remaining material level in the feeding container 4 in real time, in one embodiment, a transparent cylinder 9 is provided between the guide cylinder 5 and the cover cylinder 7. A sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting the material height in the feeding container 4 is installed inside the transparent cylinder 9. An indicator light is provided on the sensor to indicate whether the material level in the feeding container 4 is insufficient. The sensor can monitor the material height in the feeding container 4 in real time, thereby determining the remaining material level. The indicator light is integrated into the sensor and directly controlled by the sensor. Specifically, when the material is sufficient, that is, when the material level in the feeding container 4 reaches a set first height value, the indicator light on the sensor will remain lit. When the material is insufficient, that is, when the material level in the feeding container 4 is lower than a set second height value, the indicator light will turn off. When the staff sees the indicator light turn off through the transparent cylinder 9, they can know that the material is insufficient and that material needs to be added to the feeding box 1. The sensor preferably uses a non-contact capacitive sensor, which achieves high-precision material level measurement while avoiding the contamination and wear problems that may be caused by traditional contact sensors, and has advantages such as fast response, wide measurement range, and strong anti-interference ability. In one embodiment, the sensor is also connected to a controller. The controller can be the controller of the large equipment to which the rodent-proof device of the large port equipment of this utility model is attached, and the controller will send alarm reminders to the driver or equipment maintenance personnel of the large equipment.

[0031] To ensure waterproofing, in one embodiment, the guide cylinder 5 is fixed to the discharge port, the guide cylinder 5 to the transparent cylinder 9, and the transparent cylinder 9 to the cover cylinder 7 by adhesive.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
