Abstract

Security enclosure for animals and people in communication routes and other spaces, to prevent the intrusion of animals and people, comprising a main fence (2) posts (14, 14 ', 15) with wire mesh (16), and system of active evacuation comprising an automatic device (7) which, installed in one or more evacuation zones (4) provided in certain points of the enclosure (1), detects the presence of the animals and activates elements that determine escape routes for the animals. Animals. In addition to the main fence (2) it comprises, at least, a section of secondary fence (3) parallel to the main fence (2) by the internal part thereof, forming a funnel in the evacuation zone (4), and two motorized doors (6), located on the main fence (2) in coincidence with the ends of the secondary fence section (3), connected to the automatic activation device (7).

And figure number 6.- Shows a schematic elevation view of an example of a trapdoor for the drainage and retention of the animals contemplated by the main fence in water evacuation zones.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, a non-limiting example of a security enclosure for animals and people in communication channels and other recommended spaces can be observed, which includes the parts and elements that are indicate and describe in detail below.

Thus, as observed in said figures, the enclosure (1) is essentially composed of a main fence (2) that runs parallel to the track or surrounds the space to be controlled, and, at least, a section of secondary fence (3), which is located parallel to the main fence (2) by the internal part of it, covering an evacuation zone (4).

The section of secondary fence (3) has two segments (3a), at their respective ends, which are arranged at an angle, oriented towards the inside of the track (5) or fenced space, reaching as close as possible to the edge of the track (5), to the asphalt or quitamiedos in the case of being a communication route, they form a funnel to drive the possible animals

or people who have entered the evacuation zone (4).

For its part, the main fence (2) has two motorized doors (6) located in coincidence with the proximities of each end of the straight portion of the section of secondary fence (3), the length of which is preferably something greater than the separation distance between the main fence (2) and the straight section of the secondary fence (3), so that its opening, oriented towards said section, blocks the passage between both fences, as shown in Figure 2 .

In addition, the enclosure incorporates, in said evacuation zone (4), a device

(7) automatic actuation of the motorized doors (6), which includes: a power supply unit (8) that is autonomous by means of a solar panel, solar battery, charge controller, and other elements, as shown in the Figures 1 and 2, or that is connected to the power grid through boxes or other connection points existing in the track; an electronic control base (9); two mechanisms (10) electric door closers installed in each of the doors (6) and connected by wiring (11) to the electronic control base (9); and, at least, two motion sensors (12) at the ends of the evacuation zone (4), which with the presence of animals or people activate the operation of the device (7) which, in turn, determines the opening of the doors (6) allowing their exit outside the main fence (2).

Optionally, the device (7) has one or more surveillance cameras (13), preferably connected to the electronic base to activate and record when the device comes into operation.

In short, the enclosure (1) of the invention, applicable in particular to tracks (5) such as roads, highways, railroad tracks, etc. or other sensitive spaces, with the purpose of preventing the intrusion into them of animals, domestic or wild and of pedestrians that may cause damages or accidents, being of which it comprises at least one main fence (2), formed on the basis of poles ( 14, 14 '15) with wire mesh (16), and evacuation system that facilitates the exit of animals or people in case of their eventual intrusion into the enclosure (1) by some entrance or open section thereof, it is essentially distinguished because said evacuation system is an active system comprising the described automatic device (7) which, installed in one or more evacuation zones (4) provided at certain points of the enclosure (1), detects the presence of animals

or persons in said area and actuates the elements that determine the escape routes that force their exit out of the main fence (2), said elements being essentially the doors (6) of the main fence (2).

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, both the main fence (2) and the section or sections of secondary fence (3) comprising the enclosure (1), and preferably having the same structural characteristics, are formed by starting posts (14 and corner posts (14 '), preferably made of painted and protected iron to prevent corrosion, and by intermediate posts (15) made of painted iron or made of wood with waterproofing treatment, on which, in any case, wire mesh (16) of galvanized steel fixed to the starting posts (14) is incorporated, and after its tensioning to the intermediate posts (15), by means of cable ties (17) of at least 2 mm, in a number greater than half of the wires contained in the wire mesh (16).

In addition, the foundation (18) of the starter posts (14) and the corner posts (14 ') is incorporated into holes in a V-shaped shape, as seen in Figure 4, and, preferably, combined with braces (19) reinforcement that are also grounded.

Preferably, the lower portion of the wire mesh (16), at least of the main fence (2), is disposed and overlapped on the ground, oriented towards the outside of it, to prevent animals from catching underneath of the fence, as shown in the schematic representation of Figure 4.

Optionally, and to prevent the entry of animals of small species that dig, such as rabbits, the incorporation into the main fence (2) of sections of reinforcing mesh mesh (19) incorporated in the lower part thereof, on the wire mesh (16), being placed below ground level in a gravel-filled trench (20) that prevents the postage of such species, as shown in Figure 5.

Finally, Figure 6 shows an example of a trapdoor (21) that incorporates the main fence (2) of the enclosure in water evacuation areas, which allows the animals to drain and retain, for which it is formed by a box (22 ) tube with lugs

(23) and mesh that allows the passage of water, and with a crossbar (24) that prevents the passage of animals.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any person skilled in the art understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it.

Likewise, it is noted that, within its essentiality, the invention may be carried out in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
