Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mousetrap technology, specifically a mousetrap with a handle. Background Technology
[0002] Rats are considered one of the "four pests" because of their wide variety, large numbers, strong adaptability, ability to spread diseases, and damage to crops. Currently, the main method of catching rats is to set rat traps along walls.
[0003] However, traditional mousetraps do not have an operating handle. Users must use both hands to operate them during the setting process, which is extremely inconvenient, reduces setting efficiency, and may affect the accuracy and stability of setting the mousetraps in some cases due to the inconvenience of operation.
[0004] The trigger plate of existing mousetraps is not bent, resulting in a height of 4cm from the ground after installation. For smaller mice, this height exceeds their range of movement and reach, making it difficult for them to touch the trigger plate and thus preventing the mousetrap from being triggered. This limits the mousetrap's ability to capture mice of different sizes, especially smaller mice, reducing the success rate of mouse trapping and limiting the wide applicability and effectiveness of mousetraps in practical applications.
[0005] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mousetrap with a handle to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a mousetrap with a handle, comprising a base plate one, wherein the base plate one is fixedly connected to a connecting rod one and a support plate two, the connecting rod one is rotatably connected to a spring assembly, the spring assembly is also rotatably connected to a connecting rod two, the connecting rod two is fixedly connected to the base plate two and the support plate one, the base plate one and the base plate two are rotatably connected by a fixing rod and a support rod, and the fixing rod, the spring assembly and the support rod are rotatably connected; The first support plate is fixedly connected to the handle assembly, the second support plate is fixedly connected to the bending rod and has a connecting hole at the top, a connecting ring is slidably provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole, and a firing arm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring; The outer wall of the support rod is rotatably provided with a trigger plate. A bending plate is fixedly installed at the end of the trigger plate away from the support rod. The angle between the bending plate and the trigger plate is 150 degrees. The inner wall of the trigger plate is provided with a trigger hole. The bottom of the firing arm abuts against the trigger hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle assembly and the bending rod are both 37° bent handles with a wire diameter of 5mm, and the first substrate and the second substrate are both galvanized iron substrates with dimensions of 110×130×2mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the trigger plate is installed at a height of 3.2cm above the ground, and the material of the trigger plate is the same as that of the substrate.
[0010] Furthermore, the spring assembly has 16 coils with a wire diameter of 3mm, the spring spacing is 2.3mm, and the firing arm has a wire diameter of 3mm and a length of 7cm.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a forward screw ring for adjusting the spring force and a reverse screw ring for resisting the forward screw ring, wherein the forward screw ring and the reverse screw ring cooperate with the screw to adjust the compression degree of the spring to change the spring force.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By setting up a handle component, one-handed operation is achieved and the operating force is reduced, which improves the setting efficiency, while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mousetrap setting and solving the inconvenience caused by two-handed operation. The trigger plate is designed with a 150° bending structure and is only 3.2cm off the ground after installation, which is more in line with the activity range of mice of different sizes. In particular, it improves the ability to capture small mice, effectively increases the success rate of mouse catching, and enhances the versatility of practical applications. By using forward and reverse screw rings in conjunction with the screw to adjust the spring force, the triggering becomes more sensitive and the firing force is increased. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mousetrap with a handle, including a base plate 1, a connecting rod 3 and a support plate 6 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and a connecting rod 9 and a support plate 5 fixedly connected to the base plate 4, forming two sets of stable core support structures; the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to a spring assembly 10, and the spring assembly 10 is also rotatably connected to the connecting rod 9; the base plate 1 and the base plate 4 are rotatably connected by a fixing rod 2 and a support rod 11, and the fixing rod 2, spring assembly 10 and support rod 11 are rotatably connected. This structure makes the mechanical linkage path of the entire device clear and firm, and can stably transmit the stored energy and release force of the spring assembly 10, ensuring that the base plate 1 and the base plate 4 close quickly when capturing, improving the capture success rate. A handle assembly 7 is fixedly connected to a support plate 11. A bending rod 8 is fixedly connected to a support plate 11, and a connecting hole 18 is provided at the top. A connecting ring 17 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole 18. A firing arm 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 17. A trigger plate 15 is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the support rod 11. This rotatable installation method makes the trigger plate 15 more flexible in terms of force and rotation. A bending plate 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the trigger plate 15 away from the support rod 11. The angle between the bending plate 12 and the trigger plate 15 is 150 degrees. This angle can be used to adapt to the touch requirements of targets of different sizes. A trigger hole 16 is provided on the inner wall of the trigger plate 15. The bottom of the firing arm 13 is precisely abutted against the trigger hole 16 to form a stable trigger limit structure, ensuring the sensitivity of the trigger action.
[0017] Please see Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mousetrap with a handle, which also includes a forward screw ring 19 for adjusting the elasticity of the spring 14 and a reverse screw ring 20 for resisting the forward screw ring 19. The forward screw ring 19 and the reverse screw ring 20, together with the screw 21, adjust the compression degree of the spring 14 to change the elasticity. Through this cooperation, precise control of the elasticity can be directly achieved. Whether it is to adjust the firing force to deal with mice of different sizes, or to fine-tune the trigger sensitivity according to the needs of the usage scenario, it can be accomplished by simply rotating the screw ring, which greatly improves the adaptability and practicality of the device. The reverse screw ring 20 can form a stable contact with the adjusted forward screw ring 19, effectively preventing the forward screw ring 19 from loosening or shifting due to vibration, collision or the reaction force of the spring 14 itself during the use of the device, ensuring that the adjusted elasticity parameters remain stable, avoiding unexpected deviations in mouse-catching performance, and ensuring the consistency of the capture effect.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mousetrap with a handle, including a handle assembly 7 and a bending rod 8, both of which are 37° bent handles with a wire diameter of 5mm. These handles are ergonomically designed for easy one-handed grip and force application, improving operational comfort while ensuring structural strength and stable force transmission. The first substrate 1 and the second substrate 4 are both galvanized iron substrates, measuring 110×130×2mm. The galvanizing treatment enhances corrosion resistance, and the larger size and thickness ensure the substrate's load-bearing capacity and structural stability, providing solid support for the entire device. The spring assembly 10 has 16 coils with a wire diameter of 3mm, and the spring spacing is 2.3mm, making the energy storage and release force of the springs more suitable for mouse-catching scenarios. This design provides sufficient firing force to ensure capture effectiveness while avoiding excessive elasticity that could lead to structural damage or operational difficulties. The firing arm 13 has a wire diameter of 3mm and a length of 7cm, balancing structural strength with sensitive trigger response. Combined with the sliding engagement of the connecting ring 17 and the connecting hole 18, it can precisely achieve contact and disengagement with the trigger hole 16, ensuring the reliability of the triggering action. The trigger plate 15, after installation, is 3.2cm above the ground. The trigger plate 15 is made of the same material as the base plate 1. This 3.2cm height accommodates the movement range of mice of different sizes, improving the trigger success rate. The same material ensures the structural strength and durability of the trigger plate 15 and facilitates production and processing management.
[0019] Working principle: When in use, hold the handle assembly 7 with one hand and apply downward force to compress the spring assembly 10 to store energy. Move the trigger plate 15 to the center of the body, and then insert the firing arm 13 into the trigger hole 16 on the trigger plate 15 to form a linkage. Then, gently release the handle assembly 7, and the mousetrap will enter the ready-to-trigger state. When the mouse touches the trigger plate 15, the trigger plate 15 rotates, causing the trigger hole 16 to disengage from the firing arm 13. The spring assembly 10 releases potential energy, driving the first link 3 and the second link 9 to move, causing the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 4 to close quickly to complete the capture. After capture, lift the handle assembly 7 to the vertical position, press the handle to open the first base plate 1 and the second base plate 4 to release the prey. Afterward, it can be discarded as a whole or disinfected and reused.
