Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disease control technology, and in particular to a rat-catching device with an attraction function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, live capture of wild rodents is an important means of obtaining research samples in epidemiological monitoring and rodent control. Existing live capture equipment mostly adopts the structure of rodent cages or boxes, which confine rodents in a specific space through gravity triggering or spring mechanisms. In order to improve the capture rate, some devices will have bait chambers or apply scent attractants inside. After capturing the rodents, researchers usually need to manually open the chamber door and drive the rodents to transfer bags or transfer cages for subsequent research.

[0003] However, existing live trapping devices still have significant shortcomings in actual field operations and scientific research. First, wild rodents experience severe stress and secrete fear pheromones after being captured. These pheromones easily remain in the blind spots and material pores of the device, leading to a significant decrease in subsequent capture rates. The residual pheromones can also cause subsequent captured rodents to be even more fearful. Second, rodents are prone to injury or death or abnormal physiological indicators due to high stress and environmental exposure while waiting to be transferred, affecting the accuracy of scientific data. Finally, during the transfer process, rodents may hide in corners of the enclosure, resulting in low transfer efficiency for researchers.

[0004] Therefore, designing an improved rodent trap that can effectively reduce stress in rodents and facilitate contactless transfer is of significant practical value. Utility Model Content

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mouse trapping device with an attraction function, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This rodent trapping device with an attraction function provides refuge space for rodents by setting up a darkened environment inside the trapping chamber, which caters to the rodents' instinct to prefer dark and hidden places. At the same time, the circulating airflow formed by the top fan, ventilation grille and ventilation slot can effectively provide sufficient oxygen for the trapped rodents and remove respiratory heat, significantly reducing their stress level, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the physiological indicators of the experimental samples.

[0016] 2. This mouse trap with a lure function utilizes the continuous circulating airflow generated by the fan to promptly expel the fear pheromones secreted by mice due to fear through the drainage channel and hollow chamber, preventing the odor from accumulating inside the box. This avoids the limitation of residual pheromones causing a significant decrease in the subsequent capture rate, and also avoids the stress caused by residual pheromones to subsequently captured mice, thus improving the health of the captured mice.

[0017] 3. This rodent trap with a lure function adopts a sliding retention bin and hollow sliding plate structure. Operators can move the rat directly to the external cage by pulling the rope and lifting the handle, which realizes the rapid transfer of captured rodents. At the same time, the drainage channel and slope design at the bottom can automatically drain excrement and water, reduce biological pollutants and improve safety. Attached Figure Description

A retention chamber 13 is slidably connected inside the storage chamber 11. A hollow chamber 16 is provided on the right side inside the trapping box 1. A hollow sliding plate 17 is provided on the right side inside the trapping box 1.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 The surface of the capture box 1 has a slot, and the channel 3 is connected to the interior of the capture chamber 2 through the slot. The capture box 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 4 inside the slot. A high-sensitivity damper is installed at the rotating shaft of the rotating plate 4 to ensure that the rotating plate is smoothly reset after the mouse falls, avoiding the impact that will cause violent noise and trigger secondary stress in the mouse. Counterweights 5 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the rotating plate 4. A weak magnetic block 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating plate 4. A weak magnetic block 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the capture box 1 at the slot. The near ends of the weak magnetic blocks 6 and 7 are opposite magnetic poles.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A tray 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the capture chamber 2. Water channels are provided at the four corners of the tray 8. The bottom of the capture chamber 2 gradually decreases in height from left to right. A cushioning pad 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the tray 8. The cushioning pad 9 is made of soft synthetic rubber with an antibacterial coating, which can prevent rodents from falling and getting injured, and is not easy to accumulate bacteria from excrement. The cushioning pad 9 is located below the rotating plate 4. A storage chamber 11 is fixedly installed on the right side of the bottom wall of the capture chamber 2. A fan 12 is installed at the top of the storage chamber 11. The fan 12, together with the ventilation grille 15 and the ventilation slot 14, forms a directional airflow guidance system to discharge the exhaust gas carrying fear pheromones into the hollow chamber 16 through the drainage slot 25. The tray 8 has a ventilation grille 15 at the bottom of the storage chamber 11. The storage chamber 11 has an open end that runs through its left side, making its internal cavity hollow. The storage chamber 11 is directly connected to the outside through the open end. A storage compartment 13 is slidably connected inside the storage chamber 11. Ventilation slots 14 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the storage compartment 13. The capture box 1 is located on the right side of the storage chamber 11 and has a groove of a size that matches the storage compartment 13. The storage compartment 13 can be taken out from the inside of the storage chamber 11 through the groove. A buffer spring 19 is fixedly connected to the right side of the storage compartment 13. A pull rope 20 is fixedly connected to the right side of the storage compartment 13. A guide plate 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hollow sliding plate 17. The storage compartment 13 is adapted to be located inside the guide plate 18. The end of the buffer spring 19 away from the storage compartment 13 is adapted to be snapped into the inside of the guide plate 18. A handle 21 is fixedly installed at the top right side of the hollow sliding plate 17. The end of the pull rope 20 away from the storage compartment 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the handle 21.

[0025] Reference Figures 4-5 Drainage trough 25 is provided at the bottom right side of the capture chamber 2, and drainage trough 10 is provided at the top of the tray 8. Drainage trough 10 surrounds the surface of the storage chamber 11 to prevent rainwater from seeping into the interior of the storage chamber 13. Through holes penetrating the tray 8 are provided inside the drainage trough 10. Drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the hollow chamber 16. In actual use, when digging the pit, the operator can dig the pit below the hollow chamber 16 slightly deeper to facilitate drainage. The inclined design of the bottom wall of the capture chamber 2 can ensure that rainwater can quickly collect in the hollow chamber 16 and drain away, preventing water accumulation inside the underground chamber from causing the rodent samples to drown.

[0026] In this invention, before use, a pit of appropriate depth is dug in the ground. Then, the capture box 1 is placed inside the pit, and the bottom of the channel 3 is relatively flush with the ground.

[0027] After opening the cover 24, place the bait in the storage box 23 and then close the cover 24. The connecting hole 22 connects the hollow sliding plate 17 and the channel 3. At this time, the scent of the bait attracts wild rodents through the connecting hole 22. When the rodent enters from the channel 3 at the top of the trap box 1 following the scent, its body weight acts on the rotating plate 4, overcoming the opposite electromagnetic attraction between the weak magnetic block 6 and the weak magnetic block 7, causing the rotating plate 4 to rotate around the central pivot point. At this time, the rotating plate 4 rotates counterclockwise, and the rodent falls into the trap chamber 2. Since there is a buffer pad 9 under the rotating plate 4, it can effectively reduce the physical impact and damage when the rodent falls, ensuring the physiological integrity of the experimental sample. After the rodent falls, the rotating plate 4 will automatically reset under the action of the counterweight 5 and relock through the attraction of the weak magnetic block 6 and the weak magnetic block 7, thereby preventing the captured rodent from escaping from above.

[0028] Because a small amount of light can enter the trap chamber 2 through the gap between the slot and the rotating plate 4, the rats entering the trap chamber 2 will instinctively seek out dark and hidden places. At this time, the rats will crawl through the open end into the darker storage chamber 11 and then hide in the retention chamber 13 inside. At this time, the fan 12 located at the top of the storage chamber 11 is started by an external power source, and a continuous airflow is formed in the storage chamber 11 and the retention chamber 13 through the ventilation grille 15 and the ventilation slot 14. The airflow is then blown into the hollow chamber 16 through the drainage slot 25. At this time, the airflow not only provides shelter for the captured rats, but also... Sufficient oxygen removes respiratory heat, reducing stress levels and allowing the rats to expel pheromones secreted due to fear, preventing odor buildup inside the trapping box 1 from negatively interfering with subsequent captures. If rats excrete waste or water accumulates due to rainwater during capture, the design of the trapping chamber 2, with its gradually decreasing height from left to right, guides the liquid to the drainage channel 10 on the surface of the tray 8 and the drainage channel 25 on the bottom right side of the trapping chamber 2, ultimately draining it through the drainage hole at the bottom of the hollow chamber 16. This ensures a dry and hygienic environment inside the trapping chamber 2 and the storage chamber 13, greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0029] When experimental samples need to be transferred, the operator first opens the cover plate 24, then slowly pulls the pull rope 20 upwards. The pull rope 20 pulls the retention chamber 13 outwards and compresses the buffer spring 19, allowing the retention chamber 13 to enter the guide plate 18. When the pull rope 20 can no longer be pulled, that is, when the retention chamber 13 is completely inside the guide plate 18, the operator can lift the handle 21 upwards and pull the hollow sliding plate 17 upwards. At this time, a cage for storing rodents can be prepared outside, and the opening of the cage is aligned with the opening of the retention chamber 13, so that after the hollow sliding plate 17 is removed, the rodent can be directly moved into the cage outside. Through this sliding retention chamber 13, modular and rapid transfer of captured samples is achieved, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the transfer process. After the transfer, the operator can periodically remove the retention chamber 13 for deep cleaning to thoroughly remove residual pheromones and biological contaminants, thereby maintaining the long-term trapping effectiveness and biosafety standards of the device in epidemiological monitoring.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
