Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rat-catching equipment technology, specifically to a flip-type rat trap. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional methods of catching mice typically involve using mousetraps or glue boards. While these devices are effective at catching mice, they have several drawbacks. First, mousetraps can easily injure mice, requiring frequent inspection and replacement, and are inconvenient to handle afterward. They can also cause accidental injury to non-target animals or people, and operators face a higher risk of cross-infection when handling mice caught in the traps. Second, glue boards have limited stickiness, and may fail to stick to larger or more cunning mice, resulting in less than ideal mouse-catching effects. Furthermore, the glue boards are easily affected by the environment, attracting dust and debris, which reduces their effectiveness and increases the difficulty of cleaning and overall cost.
[0003] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an efficient, safe, and easy-to-operate mousetrap. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flip-type mousetrap that can continuously capture a certain number of mice in areas with severe rodent infestations. It has a high mouse-catching effect and is flexible in use. At the same time, the overall structure is simple, easy to manufacture, saves some operating costs, and also facilitates subsequent cleanup operations of the captured mice, meeting different usage environments and needs.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is:
[0006] A flip-type mousetrap includes a barrel body and a barrel cover on top, which is rotatably mounted on the barrel body via a pin. The barrel cover located on both sides of the pin has an opening and a counterweight, respectively. A stop bar is installed on one side of the barrel body located below the counterweight on the barrel cover.
[0007] Preferably, the pins are arranged in two sets and inserted into both sides of the bucket lid, and the bucket lid can be detachably installed on the bucket body through slots on both sides of the bucket body for the pins to engage.
[0008] Preferably, a bearing sleeve is also fitted around the pin located on the barrel body.
[0009] Preferably, the pin is L-shaped and a second stop bar for blocking the pin is inserted on both sides of the barrel along the rotation direction of the barrel cover.
[0010] Preferably, a storage box can be detachably installed on the opening of the bucket lid, and the storage box is covered with a lid. Both the lid and the storage box have several ventilation holes.
[0011] Preferably, a second cover body is rotatably provided on the bucket lid. The second cover body is detachably installed on the bucket lid via a second pin inserted on the bucket lid, a second bearing sleeve sleeved around it, and multiple sets of locking parts rotatably provided on the upper and lower sides of the second cover body on the pin body. The storage box is detachably installed on the second cover body with a second opening of an appropriate size.
[0012] Preferably, the inside of the bucket body placed below the bucket lid is also provided with a funnel, the top opening of the funnel is surrounded by an outer edge and the bottom is provided with a third opening, and multiple sets of third baffles for blocking the top outer edge of the funnel are arranged around the side wall of the bucket body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects:
[0014] This utility model is a flip-type mousetrap. Compared with traditional mousetraps and glue boards, its overall structure allows for the continuous capture of a certain number of mice over a long period of time in various environments. This effectively reduces the frequency of inspection and replacement, minimizes harm to the mice, and facilitates subsequent operations such as cleaning the trapped mice. It offers high flexibility, applicability, and safety. Furthermore, its simple structure allows for easy self-manufacturing, saving on operating costs. Suitable for various users and mouse-catching environments, the flip-type mousetrap's rotating handle facilitates movement and easy cleaning of food or other materials or trapped mice, meeting diverse usage requirements. Additionally, from... Figure 1 It can be seen that the installation position of the stop bar located below the cover on the barrel body allows the cover, which rotates on the barrel body via the pin, to tilt to an appropriate angle along its opening side. This ensures the initial state of the cover on the barrel body. Combined with the smooth surface of the top wall of the cover and the application of lubricating oil or other oils that mice like, this further improves the mouse-catching effect of this flip-type mousetrap, meeting different usage needs. Furthermore, the diameter of the cover is slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the barrel, allowing for an appropriate gap between the cover's side wall and the inner wall. Combined with the installation hole on the side wall of the barrel, slightly larger than the diameter of the pin, this further enhances the effectiveness and stability of the cover's rotation on the top of the barrel, reducing the likelihood of jamming and further improving the mouse-catching effect and operational stability of this flip-type mousetrap.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0020] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment relates to a flip-type mousetrap, including a barrel body 1 and a barrel cover 3 on top of which is rotatably disposed along the internal cavity of the barrel body 1 via a pin 2. The barrel cover 3 located on both sides of the pin 2 is provided with an opening 31 and a counterweight 32, respectively. A stop bar 11 is installed on one side of the barrel body 1 located below the counterweight 32 on the barrel cover 3.
[0021] Specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 The overall structure of this flip-type mousetrap shown is combined with... Figure 2 The diagram shows the corresponding rotation states of the lid 3 on the bucket body 1 during mouse trapping. Specific details can be incorporated into the initial fabrication process. Figure 3As shown, the barrel body 1 can adopt a common waste bin structure. On the side walls of the top two sides of the barrel body 1, mounting holes 12, slightly larger than the diameter of the pin 2, can be created. This allows for the cutting process of the barrel lid 3 to fit the top of the barrel body 1. Specifically, during the cutting process, the lid 3 can have its opening 31 and a second mounting hole 33, matching the diameter of the pin 2, created. Once the lid 3 is completed, the pin 2 can be used to install the second mounting hole 33 on the barrel body 1 and the second mounting hole 33 on the lid 3. The process of inserting the lid 3 into the mounting hole 33 allows for fixing and rotating the lid 3 at the top of the barrel 1. At this time, depending on the horizontal position of the lid 3 at the top of the barrel 1, the stop bar 11 on one side wall of the barrel 1 below the lid 3 can be installed. The stop bar 11 can be a bolted connection structure. After the stop bar 11 is installed, it can limit the rotation of the lid 3. Finally, the counterweight 32 can be installed above the stop bar 11 along the side of the lid 3 away from its opening 31. Specifically, the counterweight 32 can be set in specific size and weight according to the actual weight of the bucket lid 3 and the normal rotation state to complete the entire process of the initial production of this flip-type mousetrap. In actual use, food and other materials to lure mice can be put into the bucket 1. When placed in the corresponding position, the food and other materials put into the bucket 1 can emit a scent to the outside through the opening 31 on the bucket lid 3 to lure mice. When a mouse appears and moves along the opening 31 on the bucket lid 3 away from the stop bar 11, the bucket lid 3 can then rotate at a corresponding angle under the action of the pin 2, so that the mouse can fall into the bucket 1. When the mouse falls, the bucket lid 3, which has rotated to a certain angle, can be prevented from easily exceeding 90 degrees by the counterweight 32 on it. At the same time, the stop bar 11 on the bucket 1 ensures that the bucket lid 3 can rotate back to the initial state, so as to achieve a certain number of mouse traps in the above-mentioned cyclical movement state. Compared to traditional mousetraps and glue boards, this flip-type mousetrap's overall structure allows for the continuous capture of a certain number of mice over a long period in various environments. This effectively reduces the frequency of inspection and replacement, minimizes harm to the mice, and facilitates subsequent operations such as cleaning the trapped mice. It offers high flexibility, applicability, and safety. Furthermore, its simple structure allows for easy self-manufacturing, saving on operating costs. Suitable for various users and mouse-catching environments, the rotating handle 10 on the barrel 1 facilitates movement of the trap and convenient cleaning of food or other materials or trapped mice, meeting diverse usage requirements. Figure 1It can be seen that the installation position of the stop bar 11 located on the barrel 1 below the cover allows the barrel cover 3, which rotates on the barrel 1 via the pin 2, to tilt to an appropriate angle along its upper opening 31. This allows the initial state setting of the barrel cover 3 on the barrel 1 to be combined with the structure setting of the smooth top wall of the barrel cover 3 according to usage requirements, and the process of applying lubricating oil or oils such as sesame oil that mice like, according to usage requirements. This can further improve the mouse-catching effect of this flip-type mousetrap and meet different usage needs. At the same time, the diameter of the barrel cover 3 is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the barrel 1, so that the side wall of the barrel cover 3 can leave an appropriate gap with the inner wall of the barrel 1. Combined with the structure setting of the mounting hole 12 on the side wall of the barrel 1, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the pin 2, the effect and stability of the barrel cover 3 rotating on the top of the barrel 1 are further improved, and it is not easy to get stuck. This further improves the mouse-catching effect and working stability of this flip-type mousetrap.
[0022] The pins 2 are arranged in two sets and inserted into both sides of the bucket lid 3. The bucket lid 3 is detachably installed on the bucket body 1 through slots 13 on both sides of the bucket body 1 for the pins 2 to be engaged. The two sets of pins 2 can be inserted into the two sets of second mounting holes 33 on the side walls of the bucket lid 3. At the same time, combined with the addition of slots 13 on the top side walls of the bucket body 1 that are connected to the mounting holes 12, the pins 2 can be detachably connected to the mounting holes 12 through the slots 13 under the action of external force. This can further improve the ease of disassembling the bucket lid 3 from the bucket body 1 and give it two different detachable methods, further improving the disassembly flexibility of the overall structure of this flip-type mousetrap.
[0023] The pin 2 located on the barrel 1 is also surrounded by a bearing sleeve 21. Specifically, the bearing sleeve 21 is installed through the pin 2 and the mounting hole 12 on the barrel 1 by an interference fit. In combination with the several sets of bearings rotatably arranged inside the bearing sleeve 21, the rotation effect and rotation stability of the barrel cover 3 on the top of the barrel 1 can be further improved, and jamming is less likely to occur, thus improving the rat-catching effect and stability of this flip-type rat trap.
[0024] The pin 2 is L-shaped, and second stop bars 14 are inserted on both sides of the bucket body 1 along the rotation direction of the lid 3 to stop the pin 2. The L-shaped pin 2 can further improve the ease of operation in the process of disassembling the rod in the second mounting hole 33 on the side wall of the lid 3 and the mounting hole 12 on the side wall of the bucket body 1. At the same time, the lid 3 on the top of the bucket body 1 can be rotated by turning the pin 2, which facilitates operation and adjustment while effectively reducing unnecessary contact between the operator and the lid 3, reducing the probability of cross-infection. In addition, from Figure 2It can be seen that the position setting of the second stop bar 14 on the side wall of the barrel 1 ensures that the rats on it fall stably into the barrel 1 during the rotation of the barrel lid 3, while limiting the maximum rotation angle of the barrel lid 3. This effectively prevents the barrel lid 3 from flipping over or failing to return to its initial state due to excessive rotation angle, and further improves the working stability of this flip-type rat trap during the rat-catching process.
[0025] A storage box 4 can be detachably installed on the opening 31 of the bucket lid 3, and the storage box 4 is covered with a lid 41. Both the lid 41 and the box body of the storage box 4 have several ventilation holes 40. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As can be seen, the storage box 4 can be configured as a plastic box and is detachably connected for insertion via a groove 42 at the bottom and a protruding ring 311 extending upwards from the top of the lid 3. By opening the lid 41 of the storage box 4, food or other ingredients to lure mice can be placed inside the box. Furthermore, the structure of the storage box 4 is complemented by a weighted counterweight 32 on the lid 3 to ensure that the lid 3 remains in a stationary state. Figure 1 The optimal initial position and Figure 2 The stability of the rotation process on the lid 3 in the state shown means that the food and other ingredients placed in the storage box 4 can emit odors to the outside environment through several ventilation holes 40 opened on the box body and lid 41. Combined with the synchronous placement of food and other ingredients to lure mice in the bucket 1, the attraction effect on mice and the mouse-catching effect and flexibility of this flip-type mousetrap can be further improved.
[0026] A second cover 5 is rotatably mounted on the bucket lid 3. The second cover 5 is detachably mounted on the bucket lid 3 via a second pin 53 inserted into the bucket lid 3, a second bearing sleeve 54 sleeved around it, and multiple sets of locking parts 55 rotatably mounted on the upper and lower sides of the pin 5. The storage box 4 is detachably mounted on the second cover 5 with a second opening 51 adapted to the size of the opening 31. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bucket lid 3 can be equipped with a second cover body 5 according to different usage requirements. The second cover body 5 is adapted to the bucket lid 3 structure through a pre-cutting process. During installation, the second pin 53 can be pre-inserted into the third mounting hole 52 on the second cover body 5. Simultaneously, multiple locking pieces 55, connected by a threaded structure and bolted to the pin 53 on both sides of the second cover body 5, are rotatably mounted on the pin 53 to achieve locking and fixing of the pin 2 onto the second cover body 5. Then, the second bearing sleeve 54 can be fitted along the end of the second pin 53 away from the second cover body 5. After the second bearing sleeve 54 is fitted, it is inserted and fixed into the fourth mounting hole 34 on the bucket lid 3, completing the installation and addition of the second cover body 5 structure on the bucket lid 3. The storage box 4 can be detachably connected to the second opening 51 on the second cover 5, which is adapted to the size of the opening 31 on the bucket lid 3, and the second protruding ring 511 extending upward from the top of the second cover 5. In addition, the counterweight 32 installed on the corresponding side of the bucket lid 3 can be set with corresponding weight according to the structure of the second cover 5 on the bucket lid 3 to ensure the stability of the overall structure of the bucket lid 3 during the rotation process on the top of the bucket body 1. Thus, when the mouse is moving on the second cover 5 during the mouse-catching process, the second cover 5 can rotate above the bucket lid 3 under the action of the second bearing sleeve 54 outside the second pin 53, causing the mouse on the second cover 5 to rotate away from the first stop 11 on the bucket body 1. At the same time, when the flipping angle is reached, the bucket lid 3 and the second cover 5 on it can rotate. Figure 2 The state shown involves a flipping process at a corresponding angle at the top of the barrel 1 via the pin 2, causing the mouse on the second lid 5 to fall into the barrel 1. Subsequently, under the gravity of the counterweight 32 on the lid 3, the lid 3 returns to its original position. Figure 1 The initial position shown is such that, simultaneously, the stop bar 11 on the barrel 1 causes the lid 3 to tilt at a certain angle. The storage box 4 installed on the second opening 51 of the second lid 5 can, under the influence of gravity, cause the second lid 5 to synchronously return to its original position. Figure 1 The initial position shown allows for the addition of a second cover 5 to the bucket lid 3, and the connection method is set to facilitate installation and disassembly. Combined with the smooth surface of the top wall of the second cover 5 and the application of lubricating oil or other oils that mice like, such as sesame oil, to the second cover 5 according to usage requirements, the rat-catching effect and flexibility of this flip-type rat trap can be further improved, meeting different usage needs.
[0027] Inside the barrel body 1, which is located below the lid 3, a funnel 6 is also provided. The top opening of the funnel 6 is surrounded by an outer edge 61, and the bottom has a third opening 62. Multiple sets of third baffles 15 are arranged around the side wall of the barrel body 1 to block the top outer edge 61 of the funnel 6. For the specific structural arrangement of the funnel 6 inside the barrel body 1, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the funnel 6 can be fixed and disassembled inside the barrel 1 by being blocked by multiple sets of third stop bars 15 with bolted connections, which are arranged around the outer edge 61 at the top opening and are arranged around the corresponding position on the side wall of the barrel 1. At the same time, the position setting of the funnel 6 inside the barrel 1 does not affect the normal rotation of the top barrel cover 3. Furthermore, there is a cavity in the barrel 1 below the third opening 62 at the bottom of the funnel 6. When a mouse falls into the barrel 1, it can slide down through the funnel 6 into the cavity inside the barrel 1 below the third opening 62 at the bottom of the funnel 6. The structure of the funnel 6 facilitates installation and disassembly, as well as cleaning of the mice inside the barrel 1. It can also effectively reduce the escape of mice captured inside the barrel 1, further improving the mouse-catching effect and functional versatility of this flip-type mousetrap.
