Portable cage for mud eel

Abstract

This invention proposes a portable eel trap, comprising a connecting pipe with both ends connected to the middle of a cylindrical body. Conical barbs are provided inside both ends of the cylindrical body. One side of the connecting pipe is connected to one end of a strip-shaped net, which can be wrapped around the connecting pipe. In use, the connecting pipe and the cylindrical body are placed in water. Due to the conical barbs at both ends of the cylindrical body, the trap is easily accessible. Once the eel enters the connecting pipe, it will stay inside the strip-shaped net. Because the top of the strip-shaped net protrudes above the water surface, the eel inside can breathe. Most importantly, when not in use, the strip-shaped net can be wound around the connecting pipe, and the cylindrical body can be tightened with a rope, making it easy to store and carry.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eel trap technology, specifically a portable eel trap. Background Technology

[0002] A swamp trap is a fishing gear specifically designed for catching swamp eels, commonly known as a "haozi" or "swamp cage." Traditional swamp traps are made of materials such as bamboo strips or plastic, and are mostly cylindrical in shape, thicker at one end, with barbs (commonly called "sumata") to prevent eels from swimming out once inside. Using a swamp trap is relatively simple. It is usually placed in waters where swamp eels are active, such as lakes, ponds, and river branches, in the evening. Bait, such as poultry entrails, eggshells, clam meat, or earthworms, is placed inside to attract the eels. When setting it, the trap is placed horizontally in the water at least one meter from the shore, with the part above the water covered with aquatic plants to simulate a natural environment. The trap is retrieved the next morning.

[0003] Most eel traps made of bamboo or plastic are cylindrical, and some are even shaped like the number "7". However, these eel traps cannot be folded and stored, resulting in a large volume and space-consuming design when stacked together. To address this, we propose a portable eel trap. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a portable eel trap, which has the advantages of being easy to store and carry, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a portable eel cage includes a connecting pipe, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the middle of the cylinder, and conical barbs are provided inside both ends of the cylinder; one side of the connecting pipe is connected to one end of a strip net, and the strip net can be wrapped around the connecting pipe.

[0006] Preferably, an installation port is provided on one side of the connecting pipe, and the edge of the installation port is connected to one end of the strip mesh.

[0007] Preferably, a conical mesh is provided inside the end of the strip mesh near the connecting pipe, the larger opening end of the conical mesh faces the connecting pipe, and the edge of the conical mesh is connected to the strip mesh.

[0008] Preferably, a ring rope is threaded through the smaller opening of the conical net body, and at least two symmetrically arranged connecting ropes are connected to the ring rope. The connecting ropes extend toward the free end of the strip net body, and the end of the connecting rope away from the ring rope is connected to the strip net body.

[0009] Preferably, a tightening rope is threaded through the end of the strip net body away from the connecting pipe, and the free end of the strip net body is tightened by the tightening rope.

[0010] Preferably, both the connecting pipe and the cylinder are provided with perforations.

[0011] Preferably, the tapered bevel includes an annular edge, and one side of the annular edge is connected to a plurality of tapered elastic strips, which are connected to each other by a plurality of reinforcing rings.

[0012] Preferably, a feeding port is provided in the middle of the cylinder, and a sealing cap is detachably provided on the top of the feeding port.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model allows for greater access to the eel trap when the connecting pipe and the cylinder are placed in water. Since both ends of the cylinder are equipped with conical barbs, more eels can enter. Once the eels enter the connecting pipe, they will stay inside the strip net. Because the top of the strip net protrudes above the water surface, the eels inside the strip net can breathe. Most importantly, when not in use, the eel trap proposed in this application can be rolled up around the connecting pipe, and the cylinder can be tightened with rope, making it easy to store and carry.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a portable eel trap, including a connecting pipe 1, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the middle of a cylindrical body 5, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the cylinder 5 protrude outside the connecting pipe 1. The connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5 form an "I"-shaped structure. Conical inverted fins 3 are provided inside both ends of the cylinder 5. The specific structure of the conical inverted fins 3 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes an annular edge 15. During installation, the annular edge 15 is connected to the end of the cylinder 5. A plurality of tapered elastic strips 14 are connected to one side of the annular edge 15, and the elastic strips 14 are connected to each other by multiple reinforcing rings 13. It should be emphasized that, for example... Figure 5 As shown, there is a certain gap between the tail of the elastic strip 14 (i.e., the end of the elastic strip 14 away from the annular edge 15) and the reinforcing ring 13. The tail of the elastic strip 14 can be closed or open, but the gap is not large enough for an eel to pass through. In short, whether it is open or closed, when an eel enters the space enclosed by the elastic strip 14, the eel will enter the cylinder 5 from the tail of the conical elastic strip 14, but it cannot return from the conical barbels 3.

[0024] One side of the connecting pipe 1 is connected to one end of the strip mesh 8, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a mounting port 7 is specifically provided on one side of the connecting pipe 1, and the edge of the mounting port 7 is connected to one end of the strip mesh body 8. Figure 1 and Figure 2 All of these are the shapes after the strip net 8 is opened. However, when not in use, the strip net 8 can be wrapped around the connecting pipe 1, which reduces the size of the eel cage and makes it easy to carry.

[0025] Furthermore, in use, the eel enters the cylinder 5 and connecting pipe 1 from the conical inverted barbel 3, and then enters the strip-shaped net 8. Therefore, to prevent the eel from re-entering the connecting pipe 1, such as... Figure 4As shown, a conical net 12 is provided inside the strip net 8 near the connecting pipe 1. The end of the conical net 12 with a larger opening faces the connecting pipe 1, and the edge of the conical net 12 is connected to the strip net 8. The conical net 12 can be used to prevent the eel from returning to the connecting pipe 1.

[0026] To prevent the smaller end of the conical net 12 from breaking, a loop rope 11 is threaded through the smaller opening end of the conical net 12. The smaller opening end of the conical net 12 is supported by tightening the loop rope 11. At least two symmetrically arranged connecting ropes 10 are connected to the loop rope 11, extending towards the free end of the strip net 8. The end of the connecting rope 10 away from the loop rope 11 is connected to the strip net 8. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a tightening rope 9 is threaded through the end of the strip net body 8 away from the connecting pipe 1, and the free end of the strip net body 8 is tightened by the tightening rope 9.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be noted that in order to quickly attract eels into the strip net body 8, a feeding port 6 is provided in the middle of the cylinder body 5. The top of the feeding port 6 is detachably equipped with a sealing cover 4. By adding bait into the cylinder body 5 through the feeding port 6, eels can be attracted to enter.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, the specific usage process is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, arrow B refers to the dam of the pond or pool where eels are raised, and arrow A refers to the water surface. When in use, the connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5 are placed in the water. Since the strip net 8 has a certain length, the connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5 can be thrown into the deep water. However, the tightening rope 9 on the free end of the strip net 8 can be inserted into the top of the dam by sticks or pins.

[0029] To allow the connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5 to sink faster, perforations 2 can be provided on both the connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5. The perforations 2 can accelerate the release of the scent of the bait. When the eel enters the connecting pipe 1 and the cylinder 5, it will enter the strip net 8 through the installation port 7. Since the top of the strip net 8 is exposed outside the water surface, the eel staying in the strip net 8 can breathe.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, it should be further explained that, as Figure 6 As shown, when the connecting pipe 1 is placed in the water, the cone-shaped net 12 will also be tightened by the connecting rope 10 to prevent the cone-shaped net 12 from folding together.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, it should be further explained that since the strip net body 8 is long and can hold multiple eels, in actual use, bait can also be placed inside the strip net body 8. Moreover, the volume of the cylinder body 5 and the connecting pipe 1 can be appropriately increased so that the extended cylinder body 5 and the connecting pipe 1 can store more bait, thereby catching more eels.

[0032] 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.
