Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly describe the present invention in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

1 is a view for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, showing a small mammal safety trapping device.

The safety trapping device for small mammals according to the present invention includes a plurality of traps 100, a manager mobile phone 300, and a manager server 500.

A plurality of traps 100 may be installed in about 5 to 60 or more in the place where the weasel inhabits. In the embodiment of the present invention, the traps 100 are composed of a first trap 101, a second trap 103, a third trap 105, and an n-th trap 107, as shown in FIG. It can be. Since the first trap 101, the second trap 103, the third trap 105, and the nth trap 107 have the same configuration, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first trap 101 is typically one. will be explained with an example of

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the first trap 101 includes a trapping unit 111, a manned passage unit 113, and a guide unit 115.

The capture unit 111 has a space in which the weasel can enter, and is a frame for capturing the weasel. The catch part 111 is made of a substantially hexahedron having a space therein.

The manned passage 113 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a diameter sufficient to pass through the weasel and rodents such as mice that can be prey of the weasel. The manned passage 113 passes through the top of the catching part 111 and is connected to the inside of the catching part 111 . The inlet passage portion 113 includes a cylindrical portion 117 and a one-way opening/closing portion 119 coupled to the cylindrical portion 117. It is preferable that the cylindrical portion 117 has a diameter in the range of 30 to 40 mm, which is a diameter that allows the mother mouse, which is the food of the ferret, to pass through. If it is smaller than 30mm, it is difficult for live rats, which are food for the weasel, to enter, and if it is larger than 40mm, other animals other than rats may enter, so it is not suitable to capture the weasel.

The cylindrical portion 117 may guide the rat to pass through and enter the trapping portion 111 . Then, the weasel, which feeds on the rat, has a habit of following the burrow of the rat, so it can enter the trapping unit 111.

The one-way opening and closing part 119 serves to prevent weasels and rodents from entering the inside of the trapping part 111 from going out again. The one-way opening/closing part 119 includes a blocking member 121 hinged to the cylindrical part 117, and an elastic member 123 that elastically supports the blocking member 121.

The blocking member 121 is preferably hinged to the lower side of the cylindrical portion 117 . The blocking member 121 serves to close the space of the cylindrical portion 117 . In addition, the elastic member 123 is installed between the cylindrical portion 117 and the blocking member 121, and the elastic force acts in the direction in which the blocking member 121 blocks the cylindrical portion 117. This elastic member 123 is preferably made of a torsion spring. That is, the elastic member 123 is opened in the cylindrical portion 117 while the blocking member 121 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 123 when a mouse or weasel enters through the cylindrical portion 117, and then the elastic force again. By this, the cylindrical portion 117 is blocked. Therefore, the rat or weasel that has entered the trapping unit 111 cannot go out of the trapping unit 111 again.

The guide part 115 can guide the rat or weasel to the attracting passage part 113 and is a guide made of a plate or acrylic (PVC) material. The guide 115 may include a first guide 115a and a second guide 115b. The first guide part 115a may be hinged to one corner of the top of the catch part 111 . It is preferable that the first guide part 115a has a size sufficient to overlap the upper surface of the catch part 111 . The second guide part 115b may be hinged to the opposite corner of the top of the catch part 111 in which the first guide part 115a is installed. That is, it is preferable to arrange the second guide part 115b to overlap the top of the trapping part 111 (see FIG. 2).

When the first trap 101 is moved or stored, the guide part 115 is disposed overlapping the upper surface of the catch part 111 (see FIG. 2), and when installed outdoors, the guide part 115 is unfolded from the catch part 111 and the mouse Or allow the weasel to move (see Fig. 3).

On the other hand, the catch part 111 includes a plurality of fixing rings (125, 127, 129, only the parts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are coded and described) for firmly fixing the catch part 111 on the ground. include These fixing ring parts 125, 127, 129 are connected to the bottom vertex part of the catching part 111, and four may be installed, or more may be made. In addition, the fixing ring portions 125, 127, and 129 may be formed in a string form or the like.

A researcher studying the weasel can firmly fix the catch part 111 by driving the pack (Peg) to the ground through the fixing hooks 125, 127, and 129. These fixing hooks 15, 127, and 129 serve to firmly fix the catching part 111 to the ground, so that even if a rodent or weasel enters the catching part 111, the catching part 111 does not fall or After installation, it is possible to safely collect the captured weasel by preventing the posture from being deformed by rodents or weasels or other external forces.

On the other hand, inside the first trap 101, a feeding tube 135 and a water bucket 137 of the weasel are installed. Supplying food and water to the inside of the capture unit 111 as in the embodiment of the present invention is to guarantee freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from fear and stress among the five principles of animal welfare. Therefore, when the weasel is captured in the capture unit 111, food and water can be supplied until the researcher collects it.

On the other hand, the first trap 101, as shown in Figure 5, GPS receiver 151, motion detection sensor 153, heat detection sensor 155, camera 157, frequency generator 159 , a speaker 161, a smell injector 163, and a trap controller 165 that controls them. In addition, the trap controller 163 includes a data transceiver 167 that is a computer program module capable of transmitting and receiving data or control signals by connecting to the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500 through a wireless network.

The GPS receiver 151 is for checking the position of the first trap 101 and the positions of the plurality of traps 100 . A GPS receiver is installed in each trap 100, and each trap 100 is equipped with unique identification information, so that location information of a plurality of traps 100 can be checked.

The motion detection sensor 153 and the heat detection sensor 155 are capture detection sensors that detect when a rodent or weasel is caught inside the trap 111 and transmit the detected signal to the trap controller 165. . When a rodent or weasel enters the trap 111, the movement sensor 153 may detect the movement of the animal and transmit the detected signal to the trap controller 165. In addition, when a rodent or weasel enters the trap 111, the thermal sensor 155 detects the temperature of the animal and transmits the detected signal to the trap controller 165.

The camera 157 may capture an image of a rodent or weasel that has entered the trapping unit 111 by photographing the inside of the trapping unit 111 . Camera 157 may be controlled by trap controller 165 . That is, when a signal sensed by the capture detection sensor enters the trap controller 165, the trap controller 165 can control the operation of the camera 157. The camera 157 may be controlled by the manager server 500 according to settings.

The frequency generator 159 generates a frequency to attract rodents, which are food for the weasel. The frequency generated by the frequency generator 159 is preferably 19 to 22 kHz. The frequency generated by the frequency generator 159 is more preferable to generate a frequency of 21 kHz, which is an ultrasonic wave that can not be heard by humans but can be heard by rodents. 21 kHz generated by the frequency generator 159 is a sound to which rodents respond most sensitively, and is the frequency of a cry of a newborn rat when it is separated from its mother. Rats have a very strong maternal instinct, so when they hear the cries of newborn baby rats, they show behavioral characteristics that gather even if they are not their own. If the frequency generated by the frequency generator 159 is out of the above-mentioned range, the function of attracting the mother mouse is not performed and the effect is reduced. The on/off operation of the frequency generator 159 may be controlled by the control of the trap controller 165 . By the frequency generated by the frequency generator 159, it is possible to create an effect that live mice can enter the trapping unit 111 without inserting live mice into the trapping unit 111, and the weasel to catch and eat these prey. Since it comes along the inside of the catching part 111, it is possible to easily capture the weasel.

The frequency generator 159 may be installed inside the capture unit 111 by presetting a specific frequency to be output. However, as another example, after storing a frequency to be output to the frequency storage database 533 in the manager server 500 in advance, a specific frequency generator 159 is operated under the control of the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500. Through this, it is possible to output a frequency that attracts rodents or weasels. That is, the frequency generator 159 may be controlled through the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500 .

The speaker 161 is for outputting an attracting sound for attracting a mother mouse or weasel, and may output a cry of a chick or a cry of a baby mouse. It is possible to attract the weasel without putting live food of the weasel, such as a live mouse, into the trapping unit 111 using the cry of a chick or a cry of a baby mouse.

This speaker 161 may be controlled by the trap controller 165, and may be controlled and operated by the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500.

The odor injector 163 is for spraying an attractant to attract the weasel, and emits volatile sulfurous acid from the anal gland under the tail of the weasel, which can spray the same or similar smell of the sulfurous compound . This scent injector 163 is intended to attract weasels. The odor injector 163 may be controlled by the trap controller 165, and may be controlled and operated by the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500.

The trap controller 165 is connected to the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500 through a wireless network and includes a data transmission/reception unit 167 to transmit/receive data or control signals. The data transceiver 167 may be a computer program module for connecting the trap controller 165 to a wireless network. The trap controller 165 may be connected to the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500 through a network and be controlled by the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500 .

Although the manager mobile phone 300 and the manager server 500 are separately described in the embodiment of the present invention, they may have the same functions. That is, the manager mobile phone 300 may be a mobile communication device capable of controlling the trap controller 165 while on the move, and the manager server 500 may control the trap controller 165 at a fixed location such as an office. there may be

The manager server 500 may receive location signals of the plurality of traps 100 from the trap controller 165, generate location data using unique identification information of each trap 100, and display and store the location data on the electronic map. In addition, the manager server 500 controls the frequency generator 159 that attracts the animal to be captured through a wireless network, and when the animal is captured in the trap 100, the image of the captured animal of the capture trap is received and stored. At the same time, the location data of the capture trap and the image of the animal are transmitted to the manager's mobile phone 300 so that the manager's mobile phone 300 can check the status of the capture trap or control the capture trap.

The manager server 500 includes a main controller 501 composed of computer program modules (see FIG. 6).

In addition, the manager server 500 has a database including a map storage database 531, a frequency storage database 533, a sound storage database 535, and a target animal image storage database 537. .

The data transmission/reception management program module 503 is a computer program module capable of transmitting or receiving data or control signals with the trap controller 165 through a wireless network.

The trap management program module 505 transmits a location signal to the trap controller using unique identification information of each of the first trap 101, the second trap 103, the third trap 105, and the n-th trap 107. 165, generate location data, display the location data on the electronic map, and store the location data in the map storage database 531.

The camera control program module 507 may remotely control the operation of the camera 157, receive an image captured by the camera 157, and store it in the captured image storage database 539. The camera control program module 507 may remotely control the camera 157 to obtain necessary animal images such as zoom and shooting angle.

The ultrasonic generator control program module 509 may control the frequency generator 159 so that a frequency of 21 kHz is generated for a specific trap and for a specific time period. In addition, the ultrasonic generator control program module 509 may perform control to load specific frequency data stored in the frequency storage database 533 and output it to the frequency generator 159, if necessary.

The sound control program module 511 may load data of the cry of a chick or a child of a mouse stored in the sound storage database 535 and output the data through the speaker 161 .

The odor injector control program module 513 may control the odor injector 163 for injecting the same or similar smell as that emitted from the anal gland of the weasel. In this case, the odor injector control program module 513 may control an injection time or an injection interval of the odor injector 163 .

The image comparison program module 515 receives an image captured by the camera 157 and compares the image of the weasel, which is a target animal, to transmit a result of determining whether the weasel is a weasel or not to the manager's mobile phone 300 .

The sound storage database 535 stores an attracting sound for attracting a mother mouse, which is a food of the weasel weasel, and may store a sound source of a crying sound of a chick or a crying sound of a baby mouse.

The target animal image storage database 537 may store an image of a weasel or a mouse.

The captured image storage database 539 may store images captured by the camera 157 .

The process of safely capturing the weasel using the small mammal safety trapping device of the embodiment of the present invention will be described as follows.

First, a researcher who captures a weasel for research installs the necessary number of traps 100 (about 5 to 60 in some cases) in a place where the weasel lives. At this time, the researcher installs the traps 100 by driving a peg into the ground through each of the fixing rings 125, 127, and 129. Then, the researcher unfolds the guide part 115 in the catch part 111 and installs it so that the rat or weasel can move along the guide part 115. Of course, the researcher puts animal food and water in the feed container 135 and the water container 137 disposed inside the capture unit 111 .

In the embodiment of the present invention, a process of capturing a weasel through a representatively selected first trap 101 from among several traps 100 will be described.

The trap controller 165 of the first trap 101 transmits the location data input through the GPS receiver 151 to the manager server 500 through the data transceiver 167.

Then, the main control unit 501 of the manager server 500 inputs unique identification information and location data of each trap 100 installed outdoors through the data transmission/reception management program module 503 (S1, see FIG. 7).

In addition, the main controller 501 of the manager server 500 displays the location data of each other trap 100 on the electronic map stored in the map storage database 531 through the trap management program module 505 and stores the location data. Do (S3). Through this, the researcher can check the location and unique identification information of each trap 100 on a map through the manager mobile phone 300 or the manager server 500.

In addition, the main controller 501 of the manager server 500 controls the first trap 101, which is all traps 100 installed outdoors or some traps 100 arranged in a specific location, through the trap management program module 505. can be specified and controlled in real time. This allows the researcher to input the traps 100 of the control object in advance or input the traps 100 of the control object in real time.

The main control unit 501 of the manager server 500 designates the first trap 101 as a control target designated trap through the trap management program module 505 (S5). In the embodiment of the present invention, a trap designated as a control target is referred to as the first trap 101 and is also expressed as a designated trap to be controlled.

And the main controller 501 operates the frequency generator 159 installed in the first trap 101 through the ultrasonic generator control program module 509 (S7). At this time, the frequency generator 159 may output a frequency previously set by an operation signal. As another example, the main control unit 501 may load frequency data stored in the frequency storage database 533 through the ultrasonic generator control program module 509 and output the loaded frequency data to the frequency generator 159.

The frequency generator 159 outputs an ultrasonic frequency of 21 kHz. The frequency generated by the frequency generator 159 is ultrasonic waves that humans cannot hear and rodents can hear. The frequency output from the frequency generator 159 is a frequency band to which rodents react most sensitively, and is an ultrasonic frequency of a cry of a newborn rat when it is separated from its mother. These animal attraction frequencies are used to take advantage of the behavioral characteristics of rats, whose maternal instinct is so strong that when they hear the cry of a newborn baby rat, they gather even if it is not their own baby.

And as an auxiliary means, the main control unit 501 loads the sound source stored in the sound storage database 535 through the sound control program module 511 and controls to output it to the speaker 161 (S9). At this time, the sound output through the speaker 161 is a attracting sound that is a cry of a chick or a cry of a baby mouse.

In addition, as an auxiliary means, the main control unit 501 controls the operation of the odor injector 163 through the odor injector control program module 513 (S11). These auxiliary means can be used simultaneously or selectively as needed.

Then, the rat moves along the guide part 115 in response to the attracting frequency and the attracting sound or the attracting agent, and enters the attracting passage 113 formed of the cylindrical part 117 shaped like a rat's hole. Then, the mouse passes through the cylindrical portion 117 and enters the inside of the catch portion 111 while the one-way opening/closing portion 119 opens. In addition, the weasel, which feeds on mice, recognizes the cylindrical portion 117 as a burrow of the mouse and enters the trapping portion 111 through the cylindrical portion 117 like the mouse. Despite its small size, the weasel has strong aggression towards its prey, so it can chase and eat the mouse even into the mouse's burrow, so the weasel can easily enter through the entrance of the manned passage (113) formed in a shape similar to the mouse's burrow. there is.

Then, the trap controller 165 transmits the detected signal to the main controller 501 when the motion sensor 153 detects the movement of the animal or the heat sensor 155 detects heat.

Then, the main control unit 501 determines whether there is an input signal from the motion sensor 153 or the heat sensor 155 (S13), operates the camera 157 of the first trap 101 (S15), and captures the unit ( 111) to take an image of the animal introduced into the interior. And the trap controller 165 transmits the captured image to the main controller 501.

The main control unit 501 extracts the image of the animal photographed through the image comparison program module 515 (S17), and loads the image of the animal to be captured from the image storage database 537 (S19).

Subsequently, the main control unit 501 compares the photographed animal with the image to be captured and determines whether it is an animal to be captured (S21). When the main controller 501 determines that the photographed animal is an image to be captured, the main controller 501 requests the trap controller 165 for unique identification information and location information of the corresponding trap and receives the requested data (S23).

Then, the main controller 501 transmits the received unique identification information, location information, and image data of the corresponding trap to the administrator's mobile phone 300 (S25). Researchers can then immediately check whether the weasel has been caught in the trap and take necessary action in real time.

If the main control unit 501 compares the photographed animal with the image to be captured and determines whether the animal is to be captured (S21), if it is determined that the animal is not a target animal, a trap confirmation message is provided and the trap is uniquely identified. Information and location information are transmitted to the administrator's mobile phone 300 (S27). Therefore, the researcher can collect them separately, check the corresponding traps, and take the necessary action.

When the image of the captured animal is transmitted to the manager or researcher's mobile phone, the manager or researcher can determine whether the animal is a target for capture and immediately take necessary measures in real time.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attracting passage part 113 is made thin and long so that a weasel with a small, thin and very flexible body can easily pass through the cylindrical part 117, and other rodents such as squirrels and squirrels can pass through the attracting passage part It does not pass through the cylindrical portion 117 of (113) and can selectively capture the weasel.

In this way, using the camera 157 installed inside the trapping unit 111, it is possible to check whether or not the weasel is captured in real time.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and implementations are possible within the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings, and this is also the present invention.
