  When assembling the animal breeding cage 1 having the above configuration, the following procedure is used.

  First, in the substrate plate manufacturing process, as shown in FIG. 11A, after four substrate plate units 6 are horizontally arranged in a matrix of 2 rows and 2 columns, a plurality of these substrate plate units 6 are connected. By connecting with the member 9, the substrate plate 3 is produced.

  Next, the process proceeds to a connecting tool attaching step, and as shown in FIG. 11 (b), 20 connecting tools 8 are attached to the peripheral portion of the substrate plate 3. For this purpose, the fitting convex portions 83 of the respective connecting tools 8 are fitted into the fitted connecting portions 63 of the substrate plate unit 6, respectively. At this time, for all the couplers 8, the fence locking pieces 82 are opened in the direction of the arrow M and kept horizontal.

The bottom member 2 is produced by laminating the plates 4. Then, all the connecting tools 8 are in a state in which the sandwiching pieces 81 are sandwiched between the substrate plate 3 and the surface layer plate 4 in the vertical direction.

  Next, the process proceeds to a fence standing process, and as shown in FIG. 11 (d), ten fences 10 are erected around the bottom member 2. For this purpose, the frame member 10c of each fence 10 is dropped into the fence fitting groove 86 of the two connecting tools 8 and fitted. At this time, as described above, since the fence locking pieces 82 of all the connecting tools 8 are horizontal, the frame member 10c of the fence 10 does not interfere with the fence locking pieces 82 of the connecting tools 8, and the fence The fitting work of the ten frame members 10c can be carried out smoothly.

It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation where the vertical wire 10a interferes with the horizontal wire 10b of the fence 10 and does not get caught.

  Finally, the process proceeds to the ceiling material attaching step, and the ceiling material 12 is attached above the bottom member 2 as shown in FIG. For this purpose, the four ceiling members 12 are placed on the upper side of the ceiling placing pieces 18c of the four ceiling support members 18, and the fence 10 and the ceiling member 12 are connected and fixed using the connecting fixtures 16, respectively. The ceiling members 12 are connected and fixed using the connecting fixture 17.

  Here, the animal breeding cage 1 is completed, and the assembly work of the animal breeding cage 1 is completed.

  In this way, in this animal breeding cage 1, since the connection tool 8 that connects the fence 10 to the bottom member 2 is sandwiched between the substrate plate 3 and the surface layer plate 4, the fence 10 is firmly attached to the bottom member 2. It becomes possible to support.

  In addition, since the surface layer plate 4 is detachably attached to the substrate plate 3, it is possible to provide a highly versatile animal breeding cage 1 according to the ecology of animals by appropriately replacing the surface layer plate 4. it can.

  Further, in this animal breeding cage 1, the surface layer plate 4 is fixed to the substrate plate 3 only by stacking the surface layer plate 4 on the upper side of the substrate plate 3, and the connector 8 is attached to the substrate plate 3 and the surface layer plate 4. Since it is clamped, the fence support structure of the animal breeding cage 1 can be constructed simply.

  Moreover, in this animal breeding cage 1, since the bottom member 2 is composed of a plurality of bottom member units 5, the size of the bottom member 2 can be easily changed by increasing or decreasing the number of the bottom member units 5. it can. Therefore, by increasing the bottom member unit 5 in accordance with the growth of the animal, the animal accommodation space S1 of the animal breeding cage 1 can be expanded and the expandability of the animal breeding cage 1 can be enhanced. As a result, it is possible to continue to use one animal breeding cage 1 for a long period of time, and waste associated with replacement of the animal breeding cage 1 can be eliminated.

  In this animal breeding cage 1, the bottom member units 5 adjacent to each other are connected to each other by a connecting member 9, and a connector 8 for attaching the fence 10 to the bottom member 2 is detachably attached around the bottom member 2. Therefore, the fence support structure in which the fence 10 is erected and supported around the bottom member 2 including the plurality of bottom member units 5 can be simply constructed.

  Furthermore, in this animal breeding cage 1, a ceiling member 12 is provided above the bottom member 2 so as to be connected to the fence 10, and the animal housing space S1 is surrounded by the bottom member 2, the fence 10, and the ceiling member 12, It is possible to prevent an animal from jumping from the animal accommodation space S1 to the outside by jumping over the fence 10.

  Moreover, in this animal breeding cage 1, since the surface layer main body 71 has the outermost layer member 71a which consists of artificial turf, the growth environment of the animal with which it is preferable to breed with artificial turf can be improved.

  In addition, in this Embodiment 1, although the animal breeding cage 1 using the opening-and-closing connection tool 8 by which the fence locking piece 82 was attached to the clamping piece 81 so that opening and closing was possible was demonstrated, the format of this connection tool 8 is In addition to such an open / close type, various types are conceivable. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, a fixed connector 8 in which a fence locking piece 82 is integrally formed with a holding piece 81 can be used instead or in combination. In the case of using this fixed connection tool 8, by providing elasticity to the fence locking piece 82, when assembling the animal breeding cage 1, in the fence standing step, the fence locking of the connection tool 8 is performed. By bending the piece 82 outward so that the hook-shaped locking portion 84 does not interfere with the fence 10, the fence 10 can be erected smoothly around the bottom member 2 and fixed to the fence. In the process, the locking portion 84 can be hooked on the horizontal wire 10b of the fence 10. Furthermore, in this fixed connection tool 8, as shown in FIG. 12B, the hook-shaped locking portion 84 may be omitted.
