Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mouse-catching technology, and in particular relates to a novel mouse-catching box based on gravity triggering. Background Technology

[0002] Rodent infestation has always been a persistent problem in daily life and production environments. Rats not only gnaw on grains and damage property, but they can also spread various diseases, posing a serious threat to people's health and property safety. Traditional rodent-catching methods such as rat traps and glue boards are widely used to solve the problem, but these methods have limitations. For example, rat traps can easily injure people and pets, and glue boards are difficult to use to catch rats and their effectiveness is inconsistent.

[0003] With technological advancements, mousetraps have gained popularity due to their relative safety and convenience. Traditional mousetraps lure mice in with bait, then use a mechanism to capture and trap them inside, achieving centralized mouse capture. However, these mousetraps still pose significant safety hazards during use. When manually cleaning the mousetraps, the trapped mice, in a state of stress, may escape with their agility upon opening the box, or even attack the cleaners, causing injury and reducing the safety of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a novel mousetrap based on gravity triggering, which solves the problem that existing devices cannot quickly and safely remove captured mice from the mousetrap box during use.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a novel gravity-triggered mousetrap includes a box body, a door rotatably mounted on the front side of the box body, an electromagnetic switch mounted on the box body, a pull rope fixedly mounted on the door and passing through the electromagnetic switch, with a food box attached to the other end of the pull rope, and a base mounted on the lower side of the box body. It also includes:

[0006] A flipping assembly, located inside the enclosure, is used to expel the animal. It includes two flipping plates that are rotated inside the enclosure, and the flipping plates are driven to rotate and open when the enclosure door is closed.

[0007] A collection component, located within a base, is used to collect excreted animals. It includes a collection bag that is movable within the base, and the collection bag closes when a flip plate is flipped to a certain angle.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a first torsion spring is provided at the rotating parts of the box door and the box body.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the flipping assembly further includes a reversing component disposed on the housing for driving the two flipping plates to rotate relative to each other, and the reversing component is connected to the housing door in a transmission connection.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the reversing component includes a driven gear mounted on the rotating shaft of the flip plate and a driving gear rotatably mounted on the housing, wherein the driving gear and the driven gear are meshed and connected, and the driving gear is connected to the housing door in a transmission manner.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the collection component further includes a slide plate mounted on the collection bag, and the slide plate is slidably disposed within the base, wherein a sealing component for sealing the collection bag is disposed within the slide plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing assembly includes a cap that is slidably disposed within the collection bag, the cap being moved by a trigger element disposed on the base.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the triggering component includes a swing frame rotatably mounted on the driven gear, a limit frame rotatably mounted on the base, a locking strip on the lower side of the cover that is in active contact with the limit frame, a second torsion spring sleeved on the rear side of the limit frame, and the cover and the slide plate being slidably connected by a spring disposed within the cover.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By rotating the box door in the device, the flip plate can be effectively driven to rotate, allowing the captured animals to quickly enter the collection bag for collection. When the flip plate rotates to a certain angle, the flip plate can effectively trigger the closing of the cover through the trigger component, thereby effectively sealing the collection bag and preventing the animals from jumping out or biting the operator when taking them out. This further ensures the convenience of animal removal and the safety of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first torsion spring 7 is provided at the rotation point of the door 2 and the body 1 to facilitate driving the door 2 to rotate and realize the closing of the body 1.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the flipping assembly further includes a reversing member 9 disposed on the box body 1 for driving the two flipping plates 8 to rotate relative to each other, and the reversing member 9 is connected to the box door 2 in a transmission manner, effectively driving the two flipping plates 8 to rotate relative to each other, thereby expelling the animal from the box body 1.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the reversing component 9 includes a driven gear mounted on the rotating shaft of the flip plate 8 and a driving gear rotatably mounted on the box body 1. The driving gear and the driven gear are meshed and connected. The driving gear is connected to the box door 2. By driving the driven gear to rotate, the flip plate 8 can be effectively driven to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of expelling the animal.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the collection component further includes a slide plate 11 installed on the collection bag 10, and the slide plate 11 is slidably disposed in the base 6. The slide plate 11 is provided with a sealing component for sealing the collection bag 10, which facilitates the replacement of the collection bag 10, thereby further improving the replacement efficiency of the equipment and the convenience of removal.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sealing component includes a cover 12 that is slidably disposed inside the collection bag 10. The cover 12 is triggered to move by a trigger element disposed on the base 6, which facilitates sealing of the collection bag 10 and prevents animals from escaping when the collection bag 10 is removed.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the triggering component includes a swing frame 14 rotatably mounted on the driven gear, a limit frame 15 rotatably mounted on the base 6, a locking strip 17 that is in active contact with the limit frame 15 on the lower side of the cover 12, a second torsion spring 16 sleeved on the rear side of the limit frame 15, and the cover 12 and the slide plate 11 are slidably connected by a spring 13 set in the cover 12. With the rotation and flipping of the flipping plate 8, the sealing of the collection bag 10 can be effectively guaranteed.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model:

[0033] refer to Figure 2 In the initial state of the device, the door 2 is open, the first torsion spring 7 is compressed, the electromagnetic switch 3 locks the length of the pull rope 4, and a certain amount of food is placed inside the food box 5. The food box 5 is equipped with a gravity sensor. Figure 4 The spring 13 is in a stretched state, while the collection bag 10 is in an open state. Figure 3 The limiting bracket 15 in the middle limits the card strip 17, keeping the collection bag 10 always open;

[0034] When the mouse enters the box door 2, it will consume the food in the food box 5. At this time, the gravity sensor inside the food box 5 will activate the electromagnetic switch 3. When the electromagnetic switch 3 releases the pull rope 4, the torque of the first torsion spring 7 drives the box door 2 to rotate, causing the box door 2 to close against the box body 1. When the box door 2 rotates, the box door 2 drives... Figure 1 When the commutator 9 is working, the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate, thus causing... Figure 2 The two flipping plates 8 are moved away from each other. When the flipping plates 8 are moved away from each other, the animals on the flipping plates 8 fall downwards and into the collection bag 10. When the flipping plates 8 rotate to a certain angle... Figure 1 The swing frame 14 in the middle will squeeze the limiting frame 15, causing the limiting frame 15 to rotate. When the limiting frame 15 rotates, the second torsion spring 16 is compressed at the same time, and the limiting frame 15 disengages from the locking strip 17. When the limiting frame 15 disengages from the locking strip 17... Figure 4The spring 13 pulls the cap 12 to move, which in turn causes the cap 12 to quickly close the collection bag 10. When people need to remove the animal, they only need to pull... Figure 3 The skateboard 11 moves within the base 6, allowing the collection bag 10 to be removed and replaced with a new one, thus reducing contact with animals.

[0035] This invention utilizes the rotating door 2 of the device to effectively drive the rotating plate 8 to rotate, allowing the captured animals to quickly enter the collection bag 10 for collection. When the rotating plate 8 rotates to a certain angle, it can effectively trigger the closing of the sealing cover 12 through the trigger component, thereby effectively sealing the collection bag 10. This prevents animals from escaping or biting personnel when they are being removed, further ensuring the convenience of animal removal and the safety of the equipment.
