Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal capture, and more specifically, to an animal trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's social economy and the accelerating pace of urbanization, the problem of stray animals has become increasingly serious, posing challenges to the urban environment, residents' lives, and the survival of the animals themselves. Due to stray animals' fear and wariness of humans, traditional methods of capturing stray animals are often inefficient, complex, and cause unnecessary harm to the animals. During transportation, both animals and staff are highly susceptible to injury, posing significant safety hazards.
[0003] Existing automatic trapping devices typically involve placing a bait container inside the cage from the entrance. This is very inconvenient to operate, and the container is movable inside the cage, lacking stability and easily overturned by animals. This not only affects the success rate of trapping but also contaminates the inside of the cage, making subsequent cleaning even more troublesome. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that the holding chamber in the existing automatic trapping device is easily overturned, and to provide an animal trapping cage that provides fixation for the holding chamber and improves the stability of the holding chamber.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An animal trapping device is provided, comprising a cage body, a closing mechanism, and a holding component. The closing mechanism is disposed at the entrance end of the cage body and is used to close the entrance of the cage body. The closed end of the cage body has an extension opening for the holding component to extend into. The closed end of the cage body has a limiting groove, one end of which is connected to the extension opening, and the other end of which extends toward the side or bottom surface of the cage body. The holding component is slidably connected to the limiting groove.
[0007] This utility model discloses an animal trapping device. This device is typically placed in areas frequented by stray animals. During setup, the operator first opens the closing mechanism, opening the entrance to the cage. Then, a container filled with bait is inserted into the cage through the opening at the closed end. The container is then inserted into a limiting groove, which slides smoothly into the groove. The limiting groove restricts the container's movement, preventing it from tipping over, improving stability, increasing the trapping success rate, and ensuring the cleanliness of the cage interior. Furthermore, inserting the container from the closed end into the cage improves convenience and ease of assembly and disassembly. During the trapping phase, animals attracted by the bait will enter the cage through the entrance. The closing mechanism then closes the entrance, capturing the animal.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting groove is located at the bottom of the inlet, and extends vertically towards the bottom surface of the cage body. With the limiting groove at the bottom of the inlet, after the container is inserted into the cage body through the inlet, it is aligned with the limiting groove and moved downwards. The container slides within the limiting groove, and its bottom contacts the inner bottom surface of the cage body, thus completing the installation of the container and improving the limiting effect.
[0009] Furthermore, the holding component includes a holding compartment, a sliding block, and a gripping part. The two ends of the sliding block are respectively connected to the holding compartment and the gripping part. The sliding block is slidably connected to the limiting groove. When the sliding block is located within the limiting groove, the gripping part abuts against the outer wall of the cage body, and the holding compartment abuts against the inner wall of the cage body. When the sliding block slides within the limiting groove, the holding compartment and the gripping part abut against the inner and outer walls of the cage body respectively, better limiting the holding compartment and improving stability.
[0010] Furthermore, a cover plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cage body. When the cover plate is not subjected to external force, it closes the entry opening. Under normal conditions, the cover plate closes the entry opening to prevent animals from escaping. When the trapping device is being set up, the container is inserted into the cage body through the entry opening, which naturally pushes the cover plate open. After placement, the cover plate will close the entry opening again under the action of gravity, eliminating the need for manual repositioning and improving convenience.
[0011] Furthermore, the closing mechanism includes a detachable assembly connected to the outer wall of the cage body, a sensor disposed within the assembly, a drive unit fixedly connected to the assembly, and an end cap rotatably connected to the assembly. The end cap is connected to the output end of the drive unit, and the sensor is electrically connected to the drive unit. When the sensor detects an animal, it sends a signal to the drive unit, which then drives the end cap to rotate, closing the entrance end of the cage body and capturing the animal. The detachable assembly allows the entire closing mechanism to be easily removed.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a telescopic rod, and the cage body is provided with a connecting part, the extended end of the telescopic rod being detachably connected to the connecting part. The telescopic rod can be connected to the connecting part, enabling the device to be transformed into a grippable form similar to a landing net, meeting the dynamic capture needs of open areas such as squares and parking lots, thus adding more functions.
[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of buckles are provided on one side of the cage body, and the telescopic rod is fixed between the buckles and the cage body. Using buckles to fix the telescopic rod makes assembly and disassembly easier.
[0014] Furthermore, the outlet end of the cage body is also equipped with a net and a drawstring. The net has an opening, and the drawstring is used to tighten the opening. After the capturing device captures an animal, the drawstring can be pulled to seal the opening end of the net for secondary reinforcement.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes shoulder straps, both ends of which are connected to the top of the cage body. The shoulder straps facilitate the handling of the trapping device.
[0016] Furthermore, the cage body is provided with a storage section on its side, which is composed of multiple elastic ropes. The storage section can conveniently store items such as bait boxes.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. The limiting groove can limit the container, preventing it from being easily tipped over, thus improving stability, increasing the success rate of trapping, ensuring the hygiene inside the cage, and making it more convenient to put the container into the cage from the closed end, and easier to assemble and disassemble.
[0019] 2. The telescopic pole can be connected to the connecting part, which can transform the device into a grippable form similar to a landing net, meeting the dynamic capture needs of open spaces such as squares and parking lots, and providing more functions;
[0020] 3. The net and rope setup allows for secondary reinforcement after the animal is captured by tightening the rope. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1
[0030] An animal trapping device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, the cage includes a cage body 100, a closing mechanism 200, and a holding container 300. The closing mechanism 200 is located at the entrance end of the cage body 100. In this embodiment, the cage body 100 is made of metal. The closing mechanism 200 includes a fitting 210 that is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the cage body 100, a sensor located on the inner wall of the fitting 210, a drive fixedly connected to the fitting 210, and an end cap 220 rotatably connected to the fitting 210. The end cap 220 is connected to the output end of the drive. The sensor is located inside the cage body 100. In this embodiment, the drive is a motor, and the sensor is an infrared sensor. The sensor is electrically connected to the drive. In addition, the sensor can also be located inside the cage body 100 near the holding container 300. This arrangement ensures that the end cap 220 is closed when the animal is eating, resulting in a higher capture success rate.
[0031] The cage body 100 has a rectangular inlet 110 at its closed end for the holding component 300 to enter. A vertically oriented limiting groove 120 is formed at the bottom of the inlet 110. One end of the limiting groove 120 connects to the inlet 110, and the other end extends vertically towards the bottom surface of the cage body 100. The holding component 300 includes a holding compartment 310, a sliding block 320, and a gripping part 330. Both ends of the sliding block 320 are connected to the holding compartment 310 and the gripping part 330, respectively. 20 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 120. When the sliding block 320 is located in the limiting groove 120, the gripping part 330 abuts against the outer wall of the cage body 100, and the holding compartment 310 abuts against the inner wall of the cage body 100. A rectangular cover plate 190 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cage body 100. The top of the cover plate 190 is hinged to the upper part of the extension opening 110. When the cover plate 190 is in a state without external force, the cover plate 190 closes the extension opening 110 due to its own weight.
[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0033] This utility model discloses an animal trapping device. This device is typically placed in areas frequented by stray animals. During setup, the operator first opens the end cap 220, opening the entrance to the cage body 100. Then, the container 300 containing bait is inserted into the cage through the extension opening 110 at the closed end of the cage body 100. The container 300 will push open the cover plate 190, and then be pushed downwards into the limiting groove 120. The container 300 and the limiting groove 120 are slidably connected. When the container 300... Slide the container 300 to the bottom of the limiting groove 120, and the bottom of the container 300 will contact the inner bottom surface of the cage body 100 to complete the installation of the container 300. After installation, the cover 190 will close the extension entrance 110 again under the action of gravity. During the trapping stage, the animal will smell the bait and enter the cage through the entrance of the cage body 100. When the sensor detects the animal, it sends a signal to the drive unit, which will drive the end cover 220 to rotate, sealing the entrance end of the cage body 100 and capturing the animal.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:
[0035] The limiting groove 120 limits the holding component 300, preventing it from being easily tipped over, thus improving stability. The holding component 300 is placed into the cage body 100 from the closed end, which is more convenient, increases the success rate of trapping, ensures the hygiene inside the cage body 100, and makes disassembly and assembly easier. When the sliding block 320 slides in the limiting groove 120, the holding compartment 310 and the grip part 330 abut against the inner and outer walls of the cage body 100, respectively, which better limits the holding compartment 310 and improves stability. The cover plate 190 can prevent animals from escaping and does not require manual reset, which is more convenient. The cage body 100 made of metal is heavier and more stable, but it is not as lightweight.
[0036] In addition, the limiting groove does not necessarily have to extend to the bottom of the cage body 100, but can also extend to the side of the cage body 100. The shape of the limiting groove can be an L-shaped groove, an S-shaped groove, etc.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] This embodiment is a second embodiment of an animal trapping device. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that, as shown in the following... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a telescopic rod 400. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 400 is an electric telescopic rod 400, but it can also be a mechanical telescopic rod 400. The cage body is made of canvas, and a plastic insert 140 is provided at the closed end of the cage body. The cage body 100 is glued to the kit 210 and the plastic insert 140 respectively. The inlet 110 and the limiting groove 120 are both formed on the plastic insert 140. A net 150 is provided at the outlet end of the cage body 100, and the open end of the net 150... The cage is provided with multiple through holes. One end of the draw rope 160 passes through the through holes and is connected to the other end. The draw rope 160 passes through the draw rope hole opened on the top of the sleeve 210 from the inside to the outside. Two buckles 130 are provided on one side of the cage body 100. The telescopic rod 400 is fixed between the buckles 130 and the cage body 100. The sleeve 210 is provided with a connecting part 230. In this embodiment, the connecting part 230 is a stepped hole. The extended end of the telescopic rod 400 is fixed in the stepped hole by threaded connection with the fastening bolt.
[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0040] After detaching the kit, the telescopic rod 400 and the connecting part 230 can be connected, transforming the device into a grippable form similar to a landing net. Figure 5 As shown, it can meet the dynamic capture needs of open spaces such as squares and parking lots, and has more functions. The telescopic pole 400 is fixed with buckle 130, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. Compared with traditional metal cages, the cage body 100 made of flexible material can reduce the weight of the entire trapping device, making it easier to transport and set up. At the same time, the softer material can protect the animals and reduce the probability of animal injury. Even though the cage body 100 is made of flexible material, the setting of plastic insert 140 ensures the sturdiness of the access 110 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 120, thereby ensuring the stability of the holding part 300. In the gripping form, it is lighter and easier to operate. After the capture device captures an animal, the pull rope 160 can be pulled to seal the opening end of the net 150 for secondary reinforcement.
[0041] The remaining working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] This embodiment is a third embodiment of an animal trapping device. This embodiment is similar to embodiment two, except that, as shown in the example... Figure 1As shown, it also includes a shoulder strap 170, with hooks at both ends of the shoulder strap 170. The hooks at both ends of the shoulder strap 170 are detachably connected to two hanging rings set on the top of the cage body 100. The side of the cage body 100 is also provided with a storage section 180 for storage. In this embodiment, the side of the cage body 100 is provided with multiple hanging rings, and the elastic rope passes through the hanging rings to form the storage section 180 for storage. Items such as bait supply boxes can be fixed between the elastic rope and the cage body 100. The shoulder strap 170 facilitates the transport of the trapping device, and the storage section 180 can conveniently store items such as bait boxes.
[0044] The remaining working principles of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 2.
