Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rat trapping devices, specifically relating to a rat trap for rodent control. Background Technology

[0002] Rats are mammals belonging to the order Rodentia, family Muridae. They are commonly known as "mice" and reproduce viviparously, making them among the fastest-reproducing and most resilient mammals. There are approximately 480 species of rodents worldwide, and their presence can be found both indoors and outdoors. Theoretically, their population should increase exponentially, but in reality, due to various factors, the growth rate is limited, fluctuating around zero when the density reaches the carrying capacity of the environment. Rats frequently inhabit sewers, toilets, kitchens, piles of debris, and garbage dumps, moving between contaminated and clean areas, spreading pathogens through their feet, fur, and stomach contents.

[0003] Rats are highly alert, able to locate things by smell alone. They are active at night and hide during the day. They are intelligent, quite clever, agile, and cunning. They are afraid of humans and move stealthily. When leaving their burrows, they will paw at the edge, looking left and right to ensure safety before venturing out. They prefer to build their nests near food and water sources, establishing fixed routes to avoid danger. The slightest movement or change will immediately alert them, preventing them from proceeding until they have repeatedly familiarized themselves with the area. Rats have strong memories and a tendency to refuse food; if attacked, they will avoid the location for a long time.

[0004] Therefore, in the process of trapping rats, it is difficult to successfully trap rats using a single method or location. Furthermore, rats, after being attacked, will communicate in special ways to transmit information to other rats, making it difficult to trap them using the same method or location. Existing rat traps have the following shortcomings in addressing these problems: Most existing mousetraps use a single method of trapping mice, that is, directly throwing out food that mice like. However, if this method is used repeatedly, the trapping effect will be poor and the trapping efficiency will be low. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a rat trap for rodent control, comprising: a rat trap body and a triggering mechanism; the rat trap body has a hollow cavity structure with an opening at the front end, and tracks are provided on both sides of the opening; support columns are provided on both sides of the upper part of the front end of the rat trap, and springs are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the support columns, and opening and closing doors are fixedly connected to the ends of the springs; the opening and closing doors pass through the rat trap body and slide up and down on the tracks; The triggering mechanism includes: a receiving rod, a trigger plate, an electromagnet, a rotating shaft, a sensor, and a torsion spring; the front end of the receiving rod is supported by the lower end of the switch door, and the rear end is movably connected to the rotating shaft, which is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the mousetrap body and has a torsion spring installed inside; the other end of the rotating shaft is movably connected to the trigger plate, and a limiting block installed on the mousetrap body is provided at the upper end of the trigger plate; the clockwise force generated by the torsion spring exactly cancels out the weight of the switch door and the elastic force generated by the spring on the switch door; a magnetic suction piece is provided on the receiving rod at one-third of the distance from the switch door, and an electromagnet installed on the side wall of the mousetrap body is provided at the upper end of the magnetic suction piece; a reset rod is provided on the side of the receiving rod, which passes through an arc-shaped groove opened on the side wall of the mousetrap body and extends outward, and slides on the arc-shaped groove; Furthermore, a platform is fixedly provided at the rear end of the trigger plate, and a trapping sound generator is provided at the lower end of the platform; a battery box is provided at the rear end of the platform.

Detailed Implementation

[0008] This utility model discloses a rat trap for rodent control, comprising: a rat trap body 1 and a triggering mechanism; the rat trap body 1 has a hollow cavity structure with an opening at the front end, and tracks 2 are provided on both sides of the opening; support columns 3 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the front end of the rat trap, and springs 4 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the support columns 3, and opening and closing doors 5 are fixedly connected to the ends of the springs 4; the opening and closing doors 5 pass through the rat trap body 1 and slide up and down on the tracks 2; The triggering mechanism includes: a receiving rod 13, a trigger plate 15, an electromagnet 15, a rotating shaft 16, a sensor, and a torsion spring. The front end of the receiving rod 13 is attached to the lower end of the switch door 5, and the rear end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 16. The rotating shaft 16 is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the mousetrap body 1 and contains a torsion spring. The other end of the rotating shaft 16 is movably connected to the trigger plate 15. A limiting block 20 mounted on the mousetrap body 1 is provided at the upper end of the trigger plate 15. The clockwise force generated by the torsion spring... This exactly cancels out the weight of the switch door 5 and the elastic force generated by the spring 4 on the switch door 5; a magnetic suction piece 1301 is provided on the receiving rod 13 at one-third of the distance from the switch door 5, and an electromagnet 15 is provided on the side wall of the mousetrap body 1 at the upper end of the magnetic suction piece 1301; a reset rod 11 is provided on the side of the receiving rod 13, and the reset rod 11 passes through the arc-shaped groove 10 opened on the side wall of the mousetrap body 1 and extends outward for a certain distance, and the reset rod 11 slides on the arc-shaped groove 10; Example 1 like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the front end of the receiving rod 13 is supported by the lower end of the switch door 5, and the connection is made of arc-shaped structure to ensure easy relative sliding; the rear end of the receiving rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 16, which is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the mousetrap body 1 and has a torsion spring installed inside; the other end of the rotating shaft 16 is movably connected to the trigger plate 15, and the upper end of the trigger plate 15 is provided with a limiting block 20 installed on the mousetrap body 1. The limiting block 20 fixes the torsion spring located in the trigger plate 15. In this embodiment, the torsion spring generates a smooth flow... The force of the clock hand is exactly offset by the weight of the switch door 5 and the elastic force generated by the spring 4 on the switch door 5; a magnetic absorbing piece 1301 is provided on the receiving rod 13 at one-third of the distance from the switch door 5; the magnetic absorbing piece 1301 is provided so that the receiving rod 13 can be attracted when the electromagnet 15 is energized, and it is placed at one-third of the distance to make it easier to attract the receiving rod 13, because the force effect is different when the relative points of action are different. In this embodiment, a smaller force is required when the receiving point is closer, so the requirements of the electromagnet 15 for attraction can be effectively reduced; As described above, the specific working process is as follows: First, by using the handle 501 of the switch door 5, the switch door 5 is lifted upwards. At this time, the reset rod 11 is pulled to the bottom of the arc groove 10. When it is pulled to the bottom, the trigger plate 15 reaches the position of the limit block 20, and the limit block 20 limits it. The torsion spring on the receiving rod 13 stops after acting for a certain distance. At this time, the handle 501 is released, and the switch door 5 just contacts the receiving rod 13. When a mouse passes by, the sensor detects the mouse, and the electromagnet 15 is energized. After being energized, the magnetic suction piece 1301 in the middle of the receiving rod 13 is attracted, causing the receiving rod to move counterclockwise. At this time, the switch door is disengaged from the receiving rod 13. Under the action of the spring 4 on the switch door 5, the switch door 5 is closed, achieving the purpose of catching mice. In this embodiment, considering that when outdoors, the battery 18 may run out of power due to prolonged use, and the mice may not come; if the mice come after the power is out, the sensor will become ineffective and fail to capture the mice; therefore, in this embodiment, the platform 17 and the trapping sounder are placed at the rear end of the trigger plate 15. When the battery 18 runs out of power, the mice will have to pass through the trigger plate 15 before reaching the platform 17. When passing through the trigger plate 15, the torsion spring will rotate clockwise under the force of the mouse's gravity, causing the support rod 13 to disengage from the switch door 5. The support rod 13 will lose its supporting function, and the switch door 5 can then close, thus achieving the purpose of catching mice.

[0009] Example 2 Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment, a platform 17 is fixedly provided at the rear end of the trigger plate 15, and a trapping sound generator is provided at the lower end of the platform 17; a battery box 18 is provided at the rear end of the platform 17; some food that mice like can be placed on the platform 17 to lure mice to eat; at the same time, the trapping generator 19 will play different mouse sounds in a loop, such as female or male mating calls, or calls to companions, to confuse the mice and lure them to eat and mate, thereby achieving the purpose of trapping.

[0010] Example 3 Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment, a solar cell 18 panel 6 is provided on the upper middle part of the main body 1 of the mousetrap. A switch 12 is provided on one side of the front end of the solar cell 18 panel 6, and a lifting door 7 is provided at the rear end. A handle 8 is provided in the middle of the lifting door 7. This utility model can be used outdoors or indoors. When used outdoors, it can be placed in a relatively far location. Moreover, the sensor, the trap generator 19, etc., require a continuous power supply, especially since the mousetrap may not be collected for a day or several days after it is placed. Therefore, in order to ensure that the mousetrap described in this utility model can be used for a long time, a solar cell 18 panel 6 is provided on the upper end of the main body 1 of the mousetrap. When used outdoors, it can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 18, thereby extending the usage time. At the same time, in this embodiment, a switch 12 is provided on one side of the upper end of the solar cell 18 panel 6 to control the power supply of the trap generator 19 and the electromagnet 15. In this embodiment, initially no lifting door 7 was provided at the rear end of the solar cell 18 panel 6. When placing the bait, it was placed directly from the opening at the front end of the baiter. However, during the placement process, it was found that different people have different arm sizes, and the main body of the baiter in this invention is prone to causing friction on the arm, making it difficult to place and easy to trigger the mechanism. Therefore, considering the above problems, a lifting door 7 is provided at the rear end of the solar cell 18 panel 6. The lifting door 7 opens the food and allows it to be placed directly on the platform 17, effectively avoiding the situation where the mechanism is triggered or the food is difficult to place due to different arm sizes.

[0011] Example 4 Please see Figure 1-7In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the mousetrap has several ventilation holes 9 on both sides, and the upper end of the switch door 5 is provided with a handle 501. The handle 501 is covered with a soft padding layer. The handle 501 is provided to facilitate pulling up the switch door 5. The soft padding layer on the handle 501 is to improve the user's comfort when pulling the handle 501. Ventilation holes on both sides are provided to supply air to the mouse and prevent the mouse from dying due to lack of oxygen. In this embodiment, the trap generator 19 is made in a sealed state, and ventilation holes are only opened on both sides to effectively prevent parasites on the mouse from escaping, which is convenient for subsequent sampling and research.

[0012] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, pull the handle 8 to open the lifting door 7, and then place food on the platform 17 to lure the mouse; then pull the switch door 5 to the upper rear part through the handle 501, and then slide the reset rod 11 to the extreme interface of the arc groove 10 to complete the arrangement; then turn on the switch 12 to make the sensor, the trap generator 19, etc., work. When the mouse enters the detection range of the sensor, the electromagnet 15 is immediately energized to attract the receiving rod 13, and the switch door 5 will close immediately to achieve the purpose of capturing the mouse; at the same time, the solar cell 18 plate 6 set at the upper end of the mousetrap body 1 will absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy and store it in the battery 18 to power the sensor, electromagnet 15, etc.; after use, if you want to use it again, just repeat the above steps.
