Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rat trapping devices, specifically relating to a rat prevention and trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] Rats are carriers of many diseases, such as plague and hemorrhagic fever, which pose a serious threat to the health of residents. In order to protect the health of residents, maintain environmental cleanliness, and improve the quality of life, it is necessary to capture rats.
[0003] Chinese patent CN220734187U discloses an automatic continuous mouse-catching device for fields. The device includes a mouse-catching box, a first infrared detector, a partition, a seesaw, a mouse attractant, a mouse trough, a mouse storage box, a driving mechanism, and a controller. When a mouse passes the location of the first infrared detector, the controller closes the box door and causes the mouse to fall into the mouse trough from the seesaw.
[0004] When using the above solution, a controller is needed to activate the first electric cylinder to move the box door, thereby opening and closing the box opening. This results in a high manufacturing cost for the above solution. Furthermore, during the process of moving the box door upwards, the rats may be startled and escape in the opposite direction, leading to a low success rate in catching rats. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a rat control and trapping device to solve the problems of high cost and low success rate of rat trapping in the above-mentioned solutions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A rat control and trapping device includes a rat trap box. The rat trap box has an upper chamber and a lower chamber arranged vertically. The front end of the upper chamber has an opening. A telescopic plate assembly is rotatably installed on the front outer side wall of the rat trap box below the opening. A round rod is fixedly installed horizontally at the top of the front end of the upper chamber. Multiple movable rods are rotatably sleeved on the outer side wall of the round rod at intervals. The bottom of each movable rod abuts against the bottom wall of the upper chamber. A through groove is opened on the rear side of the bottom wall of the upper chamber, leading to the lower chamber. A trap block is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the rear end of the upper chamber. A rat cage is slidably inserted into the rear end of the lower chamber. A notch is provided on the top of the rat cage below the through groove, and a movable door is rotatably installed at the notch.
[0008] The principle and effects of this technical solution:
[0009] After installing the bait block on the inner wall of the rear end of the upper chamber, place the mousetrap horizontally in the predetermined position. Then, rotate the telescopic plate assembly and adjust its length so that the mouse can climb into the upper chamber along the telescopic plate assembly. As the mouse climbs into the upper chamber, it will push part of the movable rod to rotate. After the mouse enters the upper chamber, the rotated movable rod will return to its original position under the action of gravity. The mouse in the upper chamber can no longer rotate the movable rod. As the mouse moves towards the bait block, it will step on the movable door. The movable door will rotate under the force, allowing the mouse to pass through the through slot and the gap in sequence, and finally fall into the mousetrap.
[0010] With the above-mentioned setup, multiple movable rods are rotatably mounted on the round rod at intervals, preventing the mouse from escaping through the same route after pushing the movable rods into the upper chamber. This improves the success rate of the device in catching mice. Furthermore, the device has a simple structure, does not require electronic components, and reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device.
[0011] In this invention, two pivots are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the movable door. These pivots are rotatably inserted into the inner wall of the rat trap. Sleeves are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rat trap around the pivots. A coil spring is fitted around each pivot, with its two ends connected to the outer wall of the pivot and the inner wall of the sleeve, respectively. This design allows the movable door to automatically reset and cover the opening after a rat falls into the rat trap, preventing the rat from escaping through the opening after the trap is removed, while simultaneously achieving the goal of continuously capturing rats.
[0012] In this invention, the front sidewall of the mousetrap box has a recessed groove below the lower chamber. The telescopic plate assembly includes an upper movable plate, a lower movable plate, and a horizontal plate. The top of the upper movable plate is rotatably connected to the mousetrap box below the opening. The top of the lower movable plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the upper movable plate. The horizontal plate is slidably inserted into the groove. The bottom of the lower movable plate is rotatably connected to one end of the horizontal plate extending out of the groove. The horizontal plate is connected to the mousetrap box by a locking assembly.
[0013] In this utility model, the inner sidewall of the slide groove is provided with a limiting groove that extends to the outer sidewall of the mouse trap box. The locking assembly includes a fixing plate and a fastening bolt. The fixing plate is L-shaped. The end of the horizontal section of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer sidewall of the horizontal plate, and the horizontal section of the fixing plate slides through the limiting groove. The vertical section of the fixing plate is located outside the mouse trap box, and the fastening bolt is threaded through the vertical section of the fixing plate.
[0014] The principle and effects of this technical solution:
[0015] In the initial state, both the upper and lower movable plates are close to the mouse trap box, and the end walls of the fastening bolts are pressed against the outer wall of the mouse trap box. After placing the device in the predetermined position, first loosen the fastening bolts, then slide the horizontal plate forward, thereby causing the lower movable plate to slide relative to the upper movable plate, and causing the upper and lower movable plates to rotate relative to the mouse trap box. After adjusting the slope of the upper and lower movable plates to the appropriate position, tighten the fastening bolts again, so that the end walls of the fastening bolts are pressed against the outer wall of the mouse trap box again.
[0016] The above settings reduce the footprint of the device when it is not in use, making it easier to store and transport.
[0017] In this invention, the right end of the rat trap has a through hole, and an end cap is threaded into the through hole. A handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end cap. This design facilitates the replacement of rat traps containing rats by rat catchers, and also allows rat catchers to remove the rats from the trap after moving it to a suitable location, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0018] In this invention, baffles are symmetrically slidably inserted on the left and right sides of the top wall of the upper chamber, with the rear ends of the baffles located within the vertical projection range of the through groove. This design restricts the movement of the rat, ensuring it passes through the movable door and preventing it from approaching the bait block from the bottom wall of the upper chamber outside the through groove, thus further improving the rat-catching success rate of this device.
[0019] In this invention, multiple ventilation holes extending to the outside of the mousetrap are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the rear end of the upper chamber. This arrangement creates a continuous airflow channel within the upper chamber, allowing air circulation to facilitate the dissipation of the attractant block's scent and improving mousetrap efficiency.
