Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to rat traps, and more particularly to a novel rat trap. Background Technology

[0002] A rat trap, also known as a mousetrap, is a device that uses physical methods to trap rats. Traditional rat traps trap rats by causing them to lose their balance by stepping on a seesaw, or by poisoning them with chemicals, or by using an electric shock device. While these methods ensure accurate capture, they are cruel and unsuitable for certain situations. Therefore, existing technology also offers a carbon dioxide rat control method. This method releases carbon dioxide inside the trap, causing the rats to suffocate. There are two main ways to generate carbon dioxide: one is to place chemical agents inside the trap, which are released when a rat enters, but this method cannot continuously trap rats; the other is to use a separate carbon dioxide cylinder outside the trap, releasing carbon dioxide by controlling the cylinder's valve. While this method can achieve continuous rat trapping, the key issues are how to quickly replace the high-pressure carbon dioxide cylinder and how to control the release of the cylinder valve. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a new type of rat trap that facilitates gas cylinder replacement and valve control.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a novel rat trap, including a cage body, the cage body having a rat trapping area and a rat storage area, the cage body having a rat trapping area entrance at the bottom of the rat trapping area, and a flat push plate and a flat push control device installed in the rat trapping area, the flat push control device being able to drive the flat push plate to slide back and forth into the rat storage area. The cage is also equipped with a gas cylinder connector, which includes a mounting base. The mounting base is provided with an air outlet structure. The air outlet structure has a bottle mouth connection part at its air inlet. The air outlet structure is connected to the rat storage area. The cage is also equipped with a pressing structure for controlling the air outlet structure.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution, the air outlet structure includes a vertical through hole in the middle of the mounting base, an air outlet pressure rod is slidably installed in the vertical through hole, the pressing structure cooperates with the air outlet pressure rod and controls the movement of the air outlet pressure rod, and a bottle mouth connection part is also provided at the air inlet, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the pressing structure includes a rotating pressing member rotatably connected to the mounting base, and the pressing end of the rotating pressing member is correspondingly provided with a linear pressing member and a driving component that drives the linear pressing member to extend and retract to press the rotating pressing member and controls the air outlet structure. Alternatively, the pressing structure may include a linear pressing element and a driving assembly that drives the linear pressing element to rise and fall to control the air outlet structure.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the pressing structure includes a rotating pressing component rotatably connected to the mounting base, and a linkage trigger component is fixedly connected to the flat push plate. When the flat push plate moves toward the mouse storage area, it can drive the linkage trigger component to control the air outlet structure.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating pressing component includes a connecting arm and a pressing arm. One end of the connecting arm is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and the other end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the pressing arm. The other end of the pressing arm extends downwards into the mouse-catching area to cooperate with the linkage trigger.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the cage is also equipped with a sensor corresponding to the rat-catching area.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a lifting rodent-moving plate and a lifting control device are installed in the rodent-catching area. The rodent-catching area and the rodent-storage area are separated by a partition. The upper part of the partition is provided with a rodent-storage opening for the rodent-catching area that connects the rodent-catching area and the rodent-storage area. The lifting control device can drive the lifting rodent-moving plate to slide up and down between the lower end of the rodent-entry opening and the lower end of the rodent-exit opening in the rodent-catching area. A rodent-storage box is provided in the rodent-storage area below the rodent-exit opening in the rodent-catching area.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model due to the adoption of the above technical solution are as follows: This utility model forms a rat trap with a gas cylinder connector by directly setting a gas cylinder connector inside the rat trap, which facilitates the subsequent installation and replacement of high-pressure gas cylinders, meets the needs of users to install high-pressure gas cylinders themselves, and at the same time, since the finished rat trap does not need to be equipped with a high-pressure gas cylinder during manufacturing, it can not only reduce the cost of the rat trap, but also facilitate the transportation and export of the rat trap, greatly increasing the market value of the rat trap; in addition, the gas cylinder connector is also equipped with a control structure for controlling the opening and closing of the gas cylinder valve, which facilitates the generation of asphyxiating gas, and works in conjunction with the push plate to ensure that a space conducive to the death of rats is formed inside the rat trap, while also facilitating the collection of rats.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0018] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a novel rat trap includes a cage body 1, which contains a rat trapping area 2 and a rat storage area 3. The cage body 1 is rectangular. The rat trapping area 2 is located in front of the rat storage area 3. The bottom end of the cage body 1 at the rat trapping area 2 has a rat trapping area entrance 4. A push plate 5 and a push control device are installed in the rat trapping area 2. The push control device can drive the push plate 5 to slide back and forth into the rat storage area 3.

[0019] In this embodiment, the rat-catching area 2 and the rat-storage area 3 are not strictly physically separated by a partition, but are divided according to their location and function. The rat-catching area entrance 4 is located at the bottom of the rat-catching area 2 to facilitate the entry of rats. The rat-storage area 3 is used to suffocate and temporarily store rats. Here, a flat pusher 5 is used to force the rats from the rat-catching area 2 into the rat-storage area 3.

[0020] The upper, lower, left, and right ends of the push plate 5 extend to the inner wall of the cage 1. When the push plate 5 moves to the rat storage area 3, it can close the rat storage area 3 in cooperation with the cage 1. When the push plate 5 continues to move backward in the rat trapping area 2, it can gradually reduce the enclosed space of the rat trapping area 2 and push the rat to the rear of the rat trapping area 2 without affecting the subsequent continuous rat trapping.

[0021] The bottom of the cage 1 may be provided with a bottom plate or the bottom plate may be omitted. When the cage 1 is placed on the ground, the ground and the side wall of the cage 1 can cooperate to make the cage 1 form a closed effect. Of course, the bottom plate may only be provided in the mouse storage area 3.

[0022] The cage 1 is also equipped with a gas cylinder connector, which is a key structure for connecting high-pressure gas cylinders, controlling the opening and closing of gas cylinder valves, and releasing gas from the gas cylinders to the rat storage area 3.

[0023] To ensure the safety of storing and using high-pressure gas cylinders, they must be manufactured according to specific standards and specifications. Therefore, when manufacturing and selling rat traps, high-pressure gas cylinders do not need to be installed; users can purchase them separately and install them on the rat traps described in this application. To facilitate quick and safe installation of the gas cylinder, a gas cylinder connector is provided on the rat trap. This connector can use the gas outlet device commonly found on existing sparkling water machines, which is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here. The high-pressure gas cylinder can be a carbon dioxide cylinder, used to suffocate rats. The cylinder can also be called a gas canister, which is a pre-existing technology. The gas outlet of the cylinder has a push-button valve, also known as a pressure point vent switch, which allows for venting by pressing. Of course, the cylinder can also be any other inert gas cylinder, as long as it can suffocate rats; it is not necessarily limited to a carbon dioxide cylinder.

[0024] The gas cylinder connector includes a mounting base 6, which serves as the mounting base for the gas cylinder connector. It can be fixedly mounted on the cage or detachably mounted on the cage. The mounting base 6 has an outlet structure, and the inlet 7 of the outlet structure has a cylinder neck connection part 8 for connecting a high-pressure gas cylinder. The outlet 9 of the outlet structure connects to the rodent storage area 3. A flexible hose can be inserted into the rodent storage area 3 through the outlet 9, or a corresponding air guide opening can be provided on the cage 1. The cage 1 also has a pressing structure for controlling the outlet structure. When the pressing structure is pressed down, the outlet structure acts on the gas valve of the gas cylinder to release gas. The released gas enters the rodent storage area 3 through the outlet 9, thus releasing gas from the cylinder. The operation is simple and highly safe.

[0025] The air outlet structure includes a vertical through hole located in the middle of the mounting base 6. An air outlet pressure rod 10 is slidably installed in the vertical through hole. A rubber ring is provided between the air outlet pressure rod 10 and the vertical through hole. The pressing structure cooperates with the air outlet pressure rod 10 and controls the movement of the air outlet pressure rod 10. A bottle mouth connection part 8 is also provided at the air inlet 7. The bottle mouth connection part 8 can be a threaded connection part. The air outlet 9 communicates with the air inlet 7. When the top of the air outlet pressure rod 10 is pressed, the bottom end of the air outlet pressure rod 10 presses down on the air valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder to open the air valve. When the top of the air outlet pressure rod 10 is no longer pressed, the air valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder resets and pushes the air outlet pressure rod 10 upward.

[0026] The pressing structure includes a rotating pressing component 11 rotatably connected to the mounting base 6. A linkage trigger component 12 is fixedly connected to the flat push plate 5. When the flat push plate 5 moves toward the mouse storage area 3, it can drive the linkage trigger component 12 to control the movement of the air pressure rod 10. The rotating pressing component 11 includes a connecting arm and a pressing arm. One end of the connecting arm is rotatably connected to the mounting base 6, and the other end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the pressing arm. The other end of the pressing arm extends downwards into the mouse trapping area 2 to cooperate with the linkage trigger component 12. The linkage trigger component 12 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the flat push plate 5. That is, when the flat push plate 5 slides, it can drive the linkage trigger component 12 to slide along with it, thereby controlling the movement of the rotating pressing component 11. When the linkage trigger 12 contacts and presses the rotating pressing member 11 to swing downward, it will press the gas outlet rod 10 to move downward. When the linkage trigger 12 moves away from and releases the rotating pressing member 11, due to the large internal pressure of the gas cylinder, the gas valve will automatically close and stop the gas release under the action of the internal gas pressure. The protruding switch on the gas valve will push the gas outlet rod 10 upward, so that the rotating pressing member 11 will reset.

[0027] Of course, the rotating pressing member 11 may also be provided with a return spring. One end of the return spring is connected to the mounting base 6, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the rotating pressing member 11, which causes the rotating pressing member 11 to swing upward, so that the rotating pressing member 11 releases the air pressure rod 10 upward.

[0028] In this embodiment, the gas cylinder connector and the high-pressure gas cylinder can be located in the mouse storage area 3, or they can be outside the mouse storage area 3, while the linkage trigger 12 can be extended into the mouse storage area 3 for convenient pressing control.

[0029] The cage 1 is also equipped with a sensor corresponding to the mouse-catching area 2. The sensor can be located in the mouse-catching area 2, but is not limited to the mouse-catching area 2, as long as it can detect the area within the mouse-catching area 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rat-catching area entrance 4 has two entrances located at the bottom ends of both sides of the rat-catching cage. The sensor is located between the two entrances 4, thus preventing rats from escaping through the entrances 4. The push control device is electrically or signal-connected to the sensor; that is, the power controlling the push plate 5 is electrically or signal-connected to the sensor. The sensor is an infrared sensor used to detect rat tracks, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Of course, there can be only one entrance 4, located on one side of the cage body 1. In this case, the sensor is located at the bottom end of the rat-catching cage, away from the entrance 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rat storage area 3 is located behind the rat trapping area 2, and the rat trapping area entrance 4 is located on the left and right sides of the bottom end of the cage body 1, which facilitates the rapid entry of rats. To facilitate the arrangement of power supplies, motors, etc., a power supply and motor area is provided above the rat trapping area 2 and the rat storage area 3. It is isolated by a top clamp, which allows the motor and other structures to be arranged in the power supply and motor area, avoiding interference with other components.

[0032] The top of the push plate 5 is connected to the push control device, and the lower part of the push plate 5 extends downward to drive away mice. Before a mouse enters the mouse-catching area 2, the push plate 5 is close to the front surface of the cage 1 and away from the mouse storage area 3 to ensure the mouse's entry. After the mouse enters and the gates on both sides close, the push plate 5 begins to move, sliding backward toward the mouse storage area 3, gradually reducing the mouse's movement space and driving the mouse into the mouse storage area 3.

[0033] The horizontal pushing control device includes two rotatably mounted pulleys, with a conveyor belt driving between them. A horizontal pushing plate 5 is horizontally slidable on the cage 1 via a slide rail, and is also fixed to the conveyor belt. One of the pulleys is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of a sliding power device, which is a fixedly mounted motor installed in the power supply motor area. Alternatively, the horizontal pushing control device can have other structures. For example, it may include a rodent-repelling screw that is horizontally rotatably mounted, with the horizontal pushing plate 5 sliding horizontally via the slide rail. The horizontal pushing plate 5 is also threadedly connected to the rodent-repelling screw, one end of which is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the sliding power device.

[0034] The rat-trapping area entrance 4 is equipped with a corresponding rat-entry gate, which is used to trap rats. The rat-entry gate can be a rotating trapping side panel, the top of which is rotatably mounted at the rat-entry entrance 4. The rotating side panel can be opened and closed by rotating a motor. Of course, the rat-entry gate can also have other structures. For example, the rat-entry gate can be a lifting gate, which can be vertically raised and lowered to open or close the rat-entry entrance 4 via a slide rail, wire rope, or other structure. The rat-entry gate can also be a horizontal gate, which can be horizontally slid open or close the rat-entry entrance 4 via a slide rail, screw, or other structure.

[0035] To prevent excessive air pressure inside the cage 1, a pressure relief port can be provided on the cage 1, and a pressure relief valve can be added to the pressure relief port as needed.

[0036] For aesthetic and safety reasons, the gas cylinder connector is located inside the cage 1. However, to facilitate cylinder replacement, the cylinder opening connector 8 extends outside the cage 1, allowing for quick cylinder installation without affecting exhaust control. Alternatively, the gas cylinder can be installed inside the cage 1, in which case a movable door can be provided on the surface of the cage 1.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Before use, the flat push plate 5 is located on the front surface of the cage 1, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2 ; In use, a mouse enters the trapping area 2 through the mouse-catching inlet 4 below. After moving to a position near the center, it falls within the detection range of the sensor. Upon detecting the mouse, the sensor sends signals to the mouse-catching inlet gate and the horizontal push control device. First, the mouse-catching inlet gate closes, trapping the mouse in the trapping area 2. Then, the horizontal push plate 5 begins to move, sliding backward to reduce the mouse's space, creating a sense of pressure and driving it away. This continues until the linkage trigger 12 contacts and presses the rotating pressing member 11, causing it to swing downward. The rotating pressing member 11 then presses down on the air outlet lever 10, moving it downward. (See attached diagram for details.) Figure 3The bottom end of the air pressure rod 10 is pressed down to open the valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder. The gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder quickly enters the rat trapping area 2 through the air outlet 9. At this time, the rat trapping area 2 is formed by the cage body 1 and the flat push plate 5 to form a small and nearly enclosed space. Asphyxiation gas is generated in this space, thereby killing the rat. The high-pressure gas can fill the space in a very short time. Then the flat push plate 5 moves forward a certain distance, causing the rotating pressing part 11 to be released. At this time, the flat push plate 5 still seals the rat storage area 3 until the rat is completely dead. After a period of time, once the rats are completely dead, the control push plate 5 moves forward and resets, the rat inlet gate opens, and the internal pressure of the cage 1 is released, ready for the next rat trapping, achieving the purpose of continuous rat trapping. The dead rats will accumulate at the back of the rat storage area 3 under the push of the push plate 5, without affecting the subsequent rat trapping. When a certain number of dead rats are reached, all rats are cleaned up at once.

[0038] In this embodiment, the movement of the flat push plate 5 drives the linkage trigger 12 to move accordingly, achieving a linkage triggering effect, which can reduce the power required to control the exhaust separately.

[0039] Example 2: This embodiment shares the same structural principle as Embodiment 1, with the main difference being the pressing structure. In this embodiment, the pressing structure includes a rotating pressing member 11 rotatably connected to the mounting base 6. The pressing end of the rotating pressing member 11 is correspondingly provided with a linear pressing member 17 and a drive assembly 18 that drives the linear pressing member 17 to extend and retract to press the rotating pressing member 11, thereby controlling the pressing and releasing of the air outlet lever 10. The drive assembly 18 can be a telescopic rod or a telescopic motor, which can drive the linear pressing member 17 to extend and retract, causing the rotating pressing member 11 to swing downwards, thus controlling the pressing and releasing of the air outlet lever 10. In this embodiment, the exhaust of the gas cylinder is controlled independently by a power source, resulting in simple and accurate control. The installation position of the drive assembly 18 can be reasonably set as needed; it can be located at the top or the bottom, see [reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 After a rat enters the rat-catching area 2 and the rat-entry gate closes, the linear pressing component 17 can be used to control the gas cylinder to first release air, suffocating the rat. Then, the translational drive plate can be used to push the dead rat into the rat-storage area 3 for collection. Alternatively, the rat can be driven into the rat-storage area 3 first, and then the linear pressing component 17 can be used to control the gas cylinder to release air, suffocating the rat. The rat can die in either the rat-catching area 2 or the rat-storage area 3. Users can set whether the linear pressing component 17 releases air first or last, depending on the actual situation.

[0040] Example 3: This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 2, but in this embodiment, the pressing structure does not have the rotating pressing component for control, but directly controls the air pressure rod 10.

[0041] See Figure 6 The pressing structure includes a linear pressing component 17 and a drive assembly 18 that drives the linear pressing component 17 to raise and lower, controlling the air outlet lever 10. The drive assembly 18 can be a telescopic rod or a telescopic motor, which can drive the linear pressing component 17 to extend and retract, thereby controlling the pressing and releasing of the air outlet lever 10. In this embodiment, the exhaust of the gas cylinder is controlled by a separate power source, which is simple and accurate.

[0042] Of course, if the rotating pressing part and the air pressure rod are removed, and instead a gas cylinder with electromagnetic control for air output is selected, then the gas cylinder can automatically exhaust air through electromagnetic control.

[0043] Example 4: The structure of Example 4 is basically similar to that of Example 1, but the internal structure is different. Based on the structure of Example 1, Example 4 adds some innovative structures to the lower part of the cage 1.

[0044] See Figures 7 to 9 The rat-catching area 2 is equipped with a lifting rat-moving plate 13 and a lifting control device. The rat-catching area 2 and the rat-storage area 3 are separated by a partition 14. The upper part of the partition 14 is provided with a rat-catching area outlet 15 that connects the rat-catching area 2 and the rat-storage area 3. The lifting control device can drive the lifting rat-moving plate 13 to slide up and down between the lower end of the rat-catching area inlet 4 and the lower end of the rat-catching area outlet 15. A rat-storage box 16 is provided in the rat-storage area 3 below the rat-catching area outlet 15.

[0045] The four edges of the lifting and moving rodent plate 13 are close to the inner surface of the cage body 1, and the left and right ends of the rodent exit 15 of the rodent trapping area are close to the inner surface of the cage body 1.

[0046] The lifting control device includes two rotatably mounted pulleys, with a conveyor belt driving between them. The lifting and moving mouse plate 13 is vertically slidably mounted on the cage 1 via a slide rail, and is also fixed to the conveyor belt. One of the pulleys is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the motor. Alternatively, the lifting control device includes a steel wire rope, one end of which is fixedly connected to the lifting and moving mouse plate 13, and the other end of which extends through a pulley and winds around a winding turntable, which is directly or indirectly connected to the power end of the motor. Of course, the lifting control device can also use a lead screw and slide rail for driving the lifting.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Before use, the lifting and lowering mouse-moving plate 13 is located at the lower stop point (contacting the ground), and the flat pushing plate 5 is located on the front surface of the cage body 1. See the state below. Figure 8 ; In use, when a mouse enters the trapping area 2 through the entrance 4 and steps onto the lifting rodent-moving plate 13, it moves to a position near the center and falls within the detection range of the sensor. Upon detecting the mouse, the sensor sends a signal to the entrance gate and the lifting control device. The entrance gate closes, and the lifting rodent-moving plate 13 rises, stopping at its upper limit. At this point, the top surface of the lifting rodent-moving plate 13 contacts the bottom surface of the flat push plate 5. Simultaneously or within a few seconds, the flat push control device activates, causing the flat push plate 5 to slide backward, reducing the mouse's space and creating a sense of pressure, thus driving the mouse away until it approaches the exit 15 of the trapping area. The mouse then falls from the exit 15 into the trap box below. (See attached diagram for details.) Figure 9 When the push plate 5 moves into the mouse-catching area 2, the linkage trigger 12 presses the rotating pressing member 11 to swing downwards. The rotating pressing member 11 presses the air outlet rod 10 downwards, and the bottom end of the air outlet rod 10 presses down on the valve of the high-pressure gas cylinder to open the valve. The gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder quickly enters the mouse-catching area 2 through the air outlet 9. Here, the high-pressure gas can be released in a very short time. Then, the push plate 5 moves forward to the mouse outlet 15 of the mouse-catching area, causing the rotating pressing member 11 to release and no longer release gas. At this time, the push plate 5 is just located at the mouse outlet 15 of the mouse-catching area, blocking the mouse outlet 15 of the mouse-catching area. At this time, the mouse storage area 3 is formed by the cage body 1, the partition 14, and the push plate 5 to form a nearly closed space. Asphyxiation gas is generated in this space, thereby killing the mouse until the mouse is completely dead. After a period of time, once the rat is completely dead, the control panel 5 moves forward and resets, opening the rat inlet gate to prepare for the next rat trapping, thus achieving continuous rat trapping. The dead rats, pushed by the control panel 5, will accumulate in the rat storage box 16, without affecting subsequent rat trapping.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
