Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rat trapping device technology, and in particular to a rat prevention and trapping device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of rodent control, traditional trapping devices typically consist of a cylinder, a rigid one-way trapping channel, and a bait tray. The cylinder is used to contain the captured rodents, the rigid trapping channel often uses a funnel-shaped or grid structure to restrict the rodents' escape through the one-way flow principle, and the bait tray is placed on the outside of the device to hold bait for trapping.
[0003] Traditional rodent control traps often use traps constructed entirely of rigid materials. While these traps offer good structural support, they also present significant technical drawbacks in practical applications. Once a rodent enters the device, it can easily escape at high speed by using its hind legs to leverage the rigid support of the trap's inner walls and generate a powerful reaction force through rapid stomping. This allows it to quickly escape the trap, making it difficult for traditional traps to effectively capture agile rodents and severely limiting their actual control effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a rat control and trapping device. It solves the problem that the trapping channels of traditional rat control and trapping components are unable to effectively capture agile rats, thus severely reducing the effectiveness of control.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A rat control and trapping device includes a cylinder, a trapping component installed inside the cylinder, the trapping component including a conical cover and a cylindrical cage; and an inclined plate installed on the outer wall of the cylinder by a hinge.
[0007] Preferably, the conical cover has an inverted funnel-shaped structure, the top area of the conical cover is made of a rigid material to form a rigid support, and the bottom area of the conical cover is made of a flexible material to form a bendable guide.
[0008] Preferably, the guide portion is provided with a plurality of strip grooves spaced apart along the circumference, and the strip grooves divide the guide portion into a plurality of independently movable pieces.
[0009] Preferably, the plurality of movable pieces are connected in a ring by elastic ropes, the elastic ropes being evenly tensioned along the outer periphery of the movable pieces, and the movable pieces maintaining a slightly closed state when not subjected to external force.
[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the inclined plate is provided with multiple material guide grooves.
[0011] Preferably, the feed trough has a semi-circular cross-section design.
[0012] Preferably, an annular fixing seat is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the cylindrical cage, the outer diameter of the annular fixing seat is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the cylinder, and the bottom surface of the annular fixing seat is a planar structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention utilizes a composite structure design of a rigid support at the top of a conical cover and a flexible movable plate at the bottom, combined with a reset mechanism of an elastic rope, to create a trapping channel with a biomimetic feel. When a mouse climbs to the top of the conical cover, the smooth surface of the rigid material simulates the natural environment to reduce its alertness, while the flexible movable plate at the bottom expands outward under the action of gravity, allowing the mouse to fall naturally into the cylindrical cage and quickly reset, thus improving the success rate of trapping.

Example
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A rat control and trapping device includes a cylindrical body 1 and a trapping component 2 installed inside the cylindrical body 1. The trapping component 2 includes a conical cover 21 and a cylindrical cage 22; an inclined plate 11 is hinged to the outer wall of the cylindrical body 1; the conical cover 21 has an inverted funnel-shaped structure, the top area of the conical cover 21 is made of a rigid material to form a rigid support, and the bottom area of the conical cover 21 is made of a flexible material to form a bendable guide; the guide is provided with multiple strip grooves 211 spaced apart circumferentially, the strip grooves 211 dividing the guide into multiple independently bendable... The movable plate 2111 is upright; multiple movable plates 2111 are connected in a ring by elastic ropes 23, and the elastic ropes 23 are evenly tensioned along the outer periphery of the movable plates 2111. The movable plates 2111 remain in a slightly closed state when not subjected to external force; multiple material induction grooves 111 are provided on the top surface of the inclined plate 11; the material induction grooves 111 are designed with a semi-circular cross section; an annular fixing seat 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the cylindrical cage 22. The outer diameter of the annular fixing seat 12 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the cylinder 1, and the bottom surface of the annular fixing seat 12 is a planar structure.
[0027] By designing the outer diameter of the annular fixing seat 12 to be larger than the maximum outer diameter of the cylinder 1, the force-bearing area of the cylinder 1 is increased. When the cylinder 1 is placed, even if there is a slight collision or a mouse enters the device and struggles violently, the force is evenly distributed on the support surface by the annular fixing seat 12, which effectively prevents the device from shaking or tipping over. By injecting an appropriate amount of clean water into the cylinder 1, the clean water can increase the overall weight of the device and also prevent the device from shaking or tipping over due to the struggle of a mouse after entering, further improving stability.
[0028] The inclined plate 11 is installed on the outer wall of the cylinder 1 by means of hinge, which not only ensures the stability of the inclined plate 11, but also makes it easy to adjust when needed. The multiple bait troughs 111 opened on the top surface of the inclined plate 11 are semi-circular in design, which can effectively prevent the bait from scattering. When the bait is evenly scattered in the bait trough 111, the bait smell can be more concentrated and diffused into the surrounding environment, increasing the attraction to mice.
[0029] The conical cover 21, with its inverted funnel-shaped structure, provides a natural guideway for mice to enter the cylindrical cage 22. Its top area is made of a rigid material, forming a rigid support with a smooth surface similar to the natural environment, significantly reducing the mice's alertness. When a mouse is attracted by the bait in the bait trough 111 and climbs up the ramp 11 to the top of the conical cover 21, it mistakenly believes it to be a safe passage and relaxes its guard, continuing to move downwards. The bottom area of the conical cover 21 is made of a flexible material, forming a bendable guide section. Multiple circumferentially spaced grooves 211 divide the guide section into several independently movable sections. The movable plates 2111, multiple movable plates 2111 are connected in a ring by elastic ropes 23. The elastic ropes 23 are evenly tensioned along the outer periphery of the movable plates 2111, so that the movable plates 2111 remain in a slightly closed state when there is no external force. When the mouse's foot touches the movable plate 2111, the movable plate 2111 will expand outward under its own weight to form a channel, and the mouse will fall into the cylindrical cage 22. The movable plate 2111 will quickly reset under the action of the elastic ropes 23 and return to the slightly closed state, effectively preventing the mouse from escaping. At the same time, the outward expansion of the movable plates 2111 allows the device to adapt to mice of different sizes, reducing the occurrence of mice getting stuck due to being too large.
[0030] Usage process:
[0031] First, inject an appropriate amount of water into the cylinder 1. The weight of the water increases the overall stability of the device, effectively preventing the rats from shaking or tipping over due to their struggles after entering. Then, securely connect the trapping component 2 to the cylinder 1 with bolts to ensure structural stability.
[0032] Evenly distribute the rodent bait inside the cylindrical cage 22 and in the bait trough 111 on the top surface of the inclined plate 11 to prevent the bait from scattering and to ensure that it continuously emits its scent to attract mice.
[0033] Attracted by the bait in the bait trough 111, the mouse climbs up the inclined plate 11 to the top of the conical cover 21. It first comes into contact with the rigid support made of hard material. Its smooth surface is similar to the natural environment, which can significantly reduce the mouse's alertness. As the mouse continues to search for food downwards, its feet come into contact with the movable plate 2111 made of flexible material. The movable plate 2111 is connected in a ring by the elastic rope 23 and is kept in a slightly closed state. Under the action of the mouse's gravity, it expands outward to form a channel, allowing the mouse to fall into the cylindrical cage 22. At this time, the movable plate 2111 quickly returns to its original position under the action of the elastic rope 23 to prevent the mouse from escaping.
[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
