Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural pest control technology, and in particular to an agricultural rodent trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agricultural ecosystems, rodents (especially rats) pose a significant threat to crop production and agricultural sustainability. These small mammals not only directly consume crop seeds, seedlings, fruits, and roots, but also indirectly increase the complexity and cost of agricultural management by spreading diseases and disrupting ecological balance.
[0003] To address the damage caused by rodents to crops, appropriate rodent control measures can help maintain biodiversity within farmland ecosystems.
[0004] Traditional mechanical mousetraps and glue boards are inefficient, usually requiring accidental triggering by a mouse to work, resulting in a low success rate. More importantly, these devices pose a risk of accidental injury, potentially capturing non-target creatures (such as birds, pets, and other wild animals) and even posing a threat to humans, especially children and the elderly who are easily injured by accidental activation.
[0005] Therefore, a special agricultural rodent trap was designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an agricultural rodent trap.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an agricultural rodent trap, comprising a box, a frame, a guide plate, an insulating base plate, a battery cabinet, a starter, and a vent plate. A sloping baffle is fixed to one side of the top of the box, with a gap between the highest point of the baffle and the top of the box, allowing the top of the box to be open. A door is embedded and hinged to one side of the lower part of the box. A frame is fixed to one side of the box away from the sloping baffle. An inclined guide plate is provided on the outside of the frame. An insulating base plate is slidably inserted through the middle of the box. An electric shock plate is embedded in the top of the insulating base plate. A bait groove is formed in the top of the insulating base plate away from its through-hole. The through-hole of the insulating base plate extends into the upper part of the frame. Guide seats are symmetrically arranged on the side of the box corresponding to the inside of the frame. The rod-shaped part of the seat is slidably connected to the through part of the insulating substrate, and a spring is provided between the two. A storage cabinet is installed on the lower side of the box, and a starter is installed on the top of the storage cabinet. Trigger blocks are provided on both sides of the top of the starter. Contact blocks are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the through part of the insulating substrate. The contact blocks are in contact with the corresponding trigger blocks below. The top of the through part of the insulating substrate is connected and symmetrical wires are passed through it. The wires have a certain degree of extensibility. The power end of the wire is connected to the corresponding contact block, and the supply end of the wire is connected to the electric shock plate. Torsion springs for providing rotational force are provided at both ends of the hinge shaft of the box door and inside the box. A vent plate is provided in the lower part of the box. Several symmetrical through holes are opened in the vent plate. The top of the vent plate is flush with the bottom of the box door.
[0008] Optionally, several ventilation holes are symmetrically opened on the lower part of both side walls of the box, away from the ventilation plate.
[0009] Optionally, the outward-facing surface of the guide plate is provided with several climbing grooves.
[0010] Optionally, the side of the insulating substrate and the inner wall of the box have a gap for mice to fall into.
[0011] Optionally, the battery cabinet is electrically connected to the starter, trigger block, contact block, wires and shock plate, and the through portion of the insulating substrate, the battery cabinet, the starter and contact block are all shielded inside the cover frame.
[0012] Optionally, it also includes a protective pad, with the bottom of the through portion of the insulating substrate corresponding to the top of the starter, and the protective pad contacting the top of the starter when the insulating substrate slides down.
[0013] Optionally, it also includes a photovoltaic panel and a controller. Symmetrically arranged upward-extending vertical plates are provided in the middle of the top of the box, and photovoltaic panels are installed on the top of the two vertical plates. The photovoltaic panels are connected to the power storage cabinet by wires. A controller is installed on the upper part of the outside of the box. The controller is electrically connected to the starter, trigger block, and contact block.
[0014] Optionally, it also includes a dirt collection frame, which is slidably placed at the bottom of the housing to collect dirt falling into the through holes of the vent plate.
[0015] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model combines the design of an inclined guide plate and a climbing groove, which can effectively attract and guide mice into the box; once the mouse steps on the insulating plate, its weight will trigger the mechanical movement of the insulating plate, causing the circuit of the trigger block and the contact block to close, so that the electric shock plate will quickly shock the mouse, ensuring a high success rate of capture. The box door remains closed throughout the mouse-catching process to prevent external interference and protect the user from potential dangers.
[0016] 2. The protective pad of this utility model can contact the top of the starter first during the sliding process to avoid direct collision and damage; the torsion springs installed at both ends of the door hinge shaft provide rotational force, making the door open more smoothly, and also increasing the safety and durability of the device.
[0017] 3. This utility model is equipped with a photovoltaic panel, which uses solar energy to charge the storage cabinet. This not only reduces the dependence on traditional power sources, but also conforms to the concept of green environmental protection and reduces energy consumption costs. The design of the vent plate and ventilation holes helps to remove odors, reduce the impact on the surrounding environment, and avoid the spread of unpleasant odors caused by the decomposition of corpses.
[0018] 4. The connections between the various components in this utility model, such as the starter, trigger block, and contact block, are clear and easy to inspect and repair, simplifying daily maintenance. The sludge collection frame is located at the bottom of the box and can be easily slid out to collect rat carcasses, residue, and other impurities, making it easy to clean regularly and keep the inside of the device clean and hygienic.

[0027] The present invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0028] Example: An agricultural rodent trap, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a frame 2, a guide plate 21, an insulating substrate 3, a battery cabinet 5, a starter 6, and a vent plate 9. The housing 1 serves as the main frame of the entire device, providing structural support and housing all internal components. A sloping baffle 101 is fixed to one side of the top of the housing 1. The highest point of the sloping baffle 101 is spaced from the top of the housing 1, allowing the top of the housing 1 to be open for easy entry by mice. A door 102 is embedded and hinged to one side of the lower part of the housing 1. A frame 2 is fixed to one side of the housing 1 away from the sloping baffle 101 by screws. An inclined guide plate 21 is screwed onto the outside of the frame 2. Several climbing grooves are formed on the outward-facing surface of the guide plate 21 to help the elderly... Mice can more easily climb to the top of the cover frame 2 and then enter the box 1. An insulating substrate 3 is slidably installed through the middle of the box 1. The side of the insulating substrate 3 and the inner wall of the box 1 have gaps for mice to fall into, ensuring that mice can fall onto the ventilation plate 9 after being caught. An electric shock plate 31 is embedded in the top of the insulating substrate 3 for shocking mice. A bait groove 32 is opened in the top of the insulating substrate 3 away from its through-hole for placing bait to attract mice. The through-hole of the insulating substrate 3 extends into the upper part of the cover frame 2. Guide seats 4 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the box 1 corresponding to the inside of the cover frame 2. The rod-shaped part of the guide seat 4 is slidably connected to the through-hole of the insulating substrate 3, and a spring 41 is provided between the two. A battery storage cabinet 5 is installed on the lower side of the unit. A starter 6 is installed on the top of the battery storage cabinet 5. Trigger blocks 61 are set on both sides of the top of the starter 6. Contact blocks 62 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the through-hole of the insulating substrate 3. The contact blocks 62 and the corresponding trigger blocks 61 below them make contact to form a closed circuit. The battery storage cabinet 5 is electrically connected to the starter 6, trigger blocks 61, contact blocks 62, wires 63 and electric shock plates 31. The through-hole of the insulating substrate 3, the battery storage cabinet 5, the starter 6 and the contact blocks 62 are all covered by the inside of the cover frame 2. The top of the through-hole of the insulating substrate 3 is connected to and through symmetrical wires 63. The wires 63 have a certain degree of extension. The power end of the wires 63 is connected to the corresponding... When contact block 62 is connected, the supply end of wire 63 is connected to electric shock plate 31. Wire 63 connects contact block 62 and electric shock plate 31 to realize power transmission. Torsion springs 7 are provided at both ends of the hinge shaft of box door 102 and inside box body 1 to provide rotational force, making it easier to open box door 102 after it is closed. A vent plate 9 is provided in the lower part of box body 1. The vent plate 9 has several symmetrical through holes to help air circulation and odor discharge, keeping the inside of the box dry and clean. The top of vent plate 9 is flush with the bottom of box door 102. Several ventilation holes 103 are symmetrically opened on the lower part of the two side walls of box body 1 away from vent plate 9 to assist vent plate 9 in odor discharge and reduce the impact of odor on the surrounding environment.
[0029] like Figure 5As shown, it also includes a protective pad 64. The bottom of the through portion of the insulating substrate 3 is provided with a protective pad 64 above the starter 6 by an adhesive. The protective pad 64 contacts the top of the starter 6 when the insulating substrate 3 slides down. The protective pad 64 contacts the top of the starter 6 first during the sliding process of the insulating substrate 3 to avoid direct collision and damage.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a photovoltaic panel 8 and a controller 10. The top of the housing 1 has symmetrically arranged upward-extending vertical plates, and the photovoltaic panel 8 is installed on the top of the two vertical plates. The photovoltaic panel 8 is connected to the energy storage cabinet 5 by wires 63. During the day, the photovoltaic panel 8 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy through wires 63, which is stored in the energy storage cabinet 5 to support the operation of the device at night or when there is no external power supply. The controller 10 is installed on the upper part of the exterior of the housing 1 by screws. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the starter 6, the trigger block 61, and the contact block 62. The controller 10 is responsible for monitoring and regulating the power distribution to ensure that each component receives sufficient energy support. In subsequent applications, the remote monitoring function can be further expanded to maximize the effectiveness of this device.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a dirt collection frame 11. The dirt collection frame 11 is slidably placed at the bottom of the box 1 via a slide rail to collect dirt falling into the through holes of the vent plate 9. The presence of the dirt collection frame 11 makes the device easier to clean.
[0032] First, place the device in an area of farmland where rats are expected to be frequently active, and adjust its orientation according to the environment so that the guide plate 21 faces the direction where rats are likely to appear. Next, open the box door 102 and place an appropriate amount of fresh bait, such as grains or other food attractive to rats, into the bait trough 32. Then close the box door 102. When night falls and rats become active, they will be attracted to the food placed in the bait trough 32. Because the guide plate 21 is designed to be inclined and has several climbing grooves on its surface, these structures can help rats easily climb to the top of the cover frame 2 and eventually enter the box 1 to find food. Once a rat successfully enters the box 1 and steps onto the insulating base plate 3, it will try to approach the bait trough 32 to obtain the food. The sliding through part on the insulating substrate 3 will slide down along the guide seat 4 under the weight of the mouse. As the insulating substrate 3 descends, the contact block 62 at its bottom gradually approaches the trigger block 61 at the top of the starter 6. When the two come into contact, the circuit is closed and the starter 6 is activated, thereby transmitting current to the electric shock plate 31 through the wire 63. After receiving the current, the electric shock plate 31 immediately produces a fatal electric shock effect, quickly killing the mouse. The dead mouse carcass falls onto the vent plate 9. The through holes of the vent plate 9, together with the ventilation holes 103, help to expel odors and reduce the impact on the surrounding environment. In order to maintain the hygiene inside the device, the dirt collection frame 11 located at the bottom of the box 1 can be slid out to collect the mouse carcass residue and other impurities falling from the through holes of the vent plate 9.
[0033] In addition, considering the safety and durability of this device, during the sliding process of the insulating substrate 3, the protective pad 64 set at its bottom will first contact the top of the starter 6 to avoid direct collision and damage. The torsion springs 7 installed at both ends of the hinge shaft of the door 102 can provide a certain rotational force after it is closed, so that it can be opened more smoothly next time.
[0034] During the day, the photovoltaic panel 8 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy through the wire 63, which is stored in the energy storage cabinet 5. At night, the energy storage cabinet 5 supplies power to the entire system, ensuring that the rodent trap can operate normally even without an external power source. The controller 10 is responsible for monitoring and regulating the power distribution to ensure that each component receives sufficient energy support.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
