Fallen hair from the pet animal kept floats toward the filter 300 by being guided by the generated air stream, and is captured by the filter 300. As a result, dispersion of the fallen hair from the body 200 to the outside is suppressed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to an animal cage, and more particularly to an animal cage.

  When pet animals such as dogs and cats are bred indoors, it is common to use a cage to separate the living space between the owner and the pet animals in order to discipline the pet animals and provide a living environment suitable for the pet animals. Is. As this kind of scissors, what is mainly formed of a grid-like or continuous bar-like fence is provided (for example, Patent Document 1).

  A pet animal has a lot of natural hair loss not only in the hair-removal period but also on a daily basis, and a lot of hair loss occurs. Also, many hair loss occurs due to care such as brushing and hair dryer treatment after washing. Since these hair loss are lighter than human hair and easily float in the air, they often fly over the eyelids and adhere extensively to the owner's living environment. Therefore, scattered hair loss will be removed using a vacuum cleaner, mop, etc., but since hair loss attached to carpets, upholstered furniture or clothing tends to get entangled with fibers, it is difficult to remove hair loss. In this situation, dedicated vacuum cleaners and various appliances have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 2-4).

  The present invention makes it difficult for hair loss from a pet animal housed in a cage to be scattered outside the cage.

  The present invention relates to a companion animal cage, which includes a main body that forms a storage space for the pet animal, a filter that is attached to the main body and that can capture hair loss from the pet animal, and a filter. And a suction device for forcibly generating an air flow passing through the filter from the inside of the housing space to the outside.

  In the bag of the present invention, in the housing space formed by the main body, an air flow toward the outside is generated by the operation of the suction device. Hair loss from the pet animal floats toward the filter by being guided by the generated air flow, and is captured by the filter. As a result, scattering of hair loss from the accommodation space formed by the main body to the outside is suppressed.

  The suction device used in the present invention forms an air flow with an axial fan, for example. In addition, the main body normally has an opening that connects the accommodation space and the outside.

  In the bag of the present invention, filters may be attached to two or more locations of the main body.

  The present invention according to another aspect relates to a scattering suppressing device for suppressing hair loss from a pet animal housed in a cage formed at least partially in a fence shape from the cage to the outside. This scattering restraint device includes a plate-like member having a filter that can be attached to a fence-like portion of a fox and capable of capturing hair loss from a pet animal, and an inside to an outside of the heel attached to the plate-like member. And a suction device for forcibly generating an air flow that passes through the filter.

  When the suction device is operated in a state where the plate-like member is attached to the fence-like portion of the fence, an air flow is generated from the inside of the fence toward the outside. Hair loss from the pet animal floats toward the filter by being guided by the generated air flow, and is captured by the filter. As a result, scattering of hair loss to the outside of the eyelid is suppressed.

  The main body 200 includes a partition wall portion 210 that forms a living space for pets in the room, and a top plate 220. The partition wall 210 has a cylindrical cubic shape formed by using a synthetic resin plate material having an upper portion 211 and a bottom portion 212 opened. A back plate 230 to be formed and side plates 240 and 250 to form each side surface are provided.

  The front plate 220 is provided with an entrance / exit 221 for allowing the pet 100 to enter / exit the cage 100, and the entrance / exit 221 has a door 222. The door 222 is attached so that it can be opened and closed by a hinge 223 near the upper part and the lower part of one side edge. Further, the front plate 220 is provided with a number of perforations 224 at portions other than the door 222. The perforation 224 is for ensuring ventilation inside and outside of the bag 100.

  A first fixing member 225 extending in the height direction is attached to the inner surface of the front plate 220 at each of both end portions in the width direction. Each first fixing member 225 is for attaching the side plates 240 and 250 to the front plate 220, and a groove 226 extending in the vertical direction is formed by forming a horizontal section in a U-shape. ing.

  The back plate 230 has a substantially square opening 231 at a substantially central portion in the width direction and the height direction. A second fixing member 235 extending in the height direction is attached to the inner surface of the back plate 230 near each of both ends in the width direction. Each of the second fixing members 235 is for attaching the side plates 240 and 250 to the back plate 230, and a groove 236 extending in the vertical direction is formed by forming a horizontal section in a U shape. ing.

  Both side surface plates 240 and 250 are fitted into the grooves 226 of the first fixing member 225 on the front plate 220 side and the grooves 236 of the second fixing member 235 on the back plate 230 side. Thereby, the front plate 220, the back plate 230, and the side plates 240 and 250 are integrated so that the partition wall portion 210 can stand on its own.

  The top plate 220 is made of synthetic resin, and is detachably mounted so as to close the upper portion 211 of the partition wall portion 210.

  In the main body 200 described above, a transparent synthetic resin plate such as polycarbonate is used at least on the front plate 220 so that the pets housed in the interior living space can be seen.

  The filter 300 is formed in a square shape larger than the opening 231 of the back plate 230, and is disposed on the inner surface side of the back plate 230 so as to cover the entire opening 231. The filter 300 arranged in this manner is sandwiched between the inner surface of the back plate 230 and the frame 310 that is detachably attached to the inner surface at the peripheral edge of the opening 231, so that the opening 231 receives the filter 300. It is attached to.

  The filter 300 is not particularly limited in material and form as long as it can capture hair loss from pet animals. For example, synthetic fiber, natural fiber, glass fiber, or mixed fiber in which these fibers are appropriately combined It is a non-woven fabric.

  The suction device 400 is a ventilation fan, and includes a rectangular tube-shaped casing 410 disposed from the outside of the back plate 230 with respect to the opening 231, and a propeller fan 420 serving as a blower fan disposed in the casing 410. Have. The propeller fan 420 is an axial fan that is rotationally driven by a motor 440 held in the center of the housing 410 by a support rod 430 and forcibly generates an air flow that flows from the inside of the main body 200 to the outside. Is for.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bag 100 is normally used by placing the bottom 212 side of the partition wall 210 on a flat tray 500 installed on the floor of the room.

  When the motor 440 of the suction device 400 is operated in the bag 100, the propeller fan 420 rotates. Thereby, in the main body 200, an air flow in which air flowing in from the entrance / exit 221 and the perforations 224 flows to the outside through the filter 300 is generated. Hair loss from a pet animal accommodated in the bag 100 is guided by the air flow while floating, and is captured by the filter 300 when the air flow passes through the filter 300. Is suppressed. Here, as for the accommodation space in the main body 200, the back surface, the side surface, and the ceiling are closed by the back plate 230, the side plates 240, 250, and the top plate 220, respectively, and the opening communicating with the outside is the entrance / exit 221 of the front plate 220 and Since it is limited to the perforations 224, hair loss generated in the accommodation space is easily guided by the air flow described above, and is not easily scattered outside from the entrance / exit 221 or the perforations 224.

  The suction device 400 can be operated at all times, but can also be operated only when hair loss is likely to occur, such as brushing or dryer treatment after washing.

  Since the filter 300 is clogged as the hair loss is captured, it is preferable to remove the captured hair loss as appropriate. However, the filter 300 can be detached by removing the frame 310 from the back plate 230, and can be replaced accordingly. it can.

  In the above-described embodiment, the front plate 220 may be formed in a fence shape such as a lattice shape or a continuous shape provided with an openable / closable doorway. Further, the back plate 230 and the side plates 240 and 250 can also be partly or entirely formed in a fence shape. However, it is preferable that the back plate 230 and the side plates 240 and 250 are walls whose entire surfaces are closed in terms of the effect of suppressing hair loss.

  Further, the main body 200 can be equipped with filters 300 at two or more locations. In this case, the suction device 400 may be individually attached to each filter 300, or one suction device 400 may be shared by several filters 300. In the latter case, a duct extending from the filter 300 at each location to the suction device 400 is usually attached, and a static pressure is generated in the duct by the blower fan of the suction device 400 so that a required air flow is generated. The blower fan in this case is preferably a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan that easily generates a high static pressure in the duct.

  The frame 310 for mounting the filter 300 to the opening 231 may be formed in a lattice shape or a continuous shape covering the surface of the filter 300 exposed in the main body 200. In this case, it is possible to prevent the filter 300 from being damaged by biting or the like by a pet animal accommodated in the main body 200.

  In the bag 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the main body 200 is formed in a cubic shape, and the planar shape is rectangular. However, the planar shape of the main body 200 is not limited to this, and is more than a triangle or pentagon. It may be a polygon or a circle.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the scattering suppression apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. In FIG. 3, the scattering suppression device 500 suppresses hair loss from a pet animal housed in a cage formed in a fence shape in which at least a part of the columns are arranged in a lattice shape or a continuous shape from scattering from the cage to the outside. It is used for this purpose, and mainly includes a plate-like member 600, a filter 700, and a suction device 800.

  The plate-like member 600 is a wooden or synthetic resin rigid body formed in a rectangular shape, and has a substantially square opening 610 at a substantially central portion in the width direction and the height direction. In addition, a pair of through holes 620 and 620 are provided in the width direction near both ends in the width direction of the plate-like member 600. The pair of through holes 620 and 620 are provided in a plurality of rows (three rows in FIG. 3) in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like member 600.

  The filter 700 is formed in a square shape larger than the opening 610 of the plate-like member 600, and is disposed so as to cover the entire opening 610 with respect to the surface of the plate-like member 600. The filter 700 arranged in this way is detachably mounted on the surface of the plate-like member 600 at the peripheral edge portion of the opening 610 and the surface of the plate-like member 600 in the same manner as the filter 300 used in the heel 100 described above. It is attached to the opening 610 by being sandwiched between the frame 710 formed.

  The suction device 800 is a ventilation fan, and a rectangular tube-shaped housing 810 disposed from the back side of the mounting surface of the filter 700 with respect to the opening 610 of the plate-like member 600 and a blower fan disposed in the housing 810. This is the same as the suction device 400 used in the bag 100 described above having a propeller fan (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the scattering suppression device 500 is attached to the outside of the rear surface of a fence-like cage 900 formed in a legislature shape for accommodating a pet animal (in FIG. 4, a ceiling portion is formed). The column materials arranged in a grid or a continuous line are not shown.) Here, a fixture 910 as shown in FIG. 5 is used. The fixture 910 is a plate-like member, and a pair of bolt holes 920 and 920 are formed at equal intervals with the pair of through-holes 620 and 620 provided in the plate-like member 600.

  When the scattering suppressing device 500 is attached to the heel 900 using the fixing tool 910, the plate-like member 600 is brought into contact with the back surface of the heel 900, and as shown in FIG. 6, a pair of through holes 620, 620 are provided. The fixture 910 is disposed from the inside of the flange 900 so that each of the bolt holes 920 and 920 faces each other. Next, the bolts 930 are inserted into the respective bolt holes 920 of the fixture 910, and the bolts 930 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 620 of the plate-like member 600. Then, when a nut 940 was attached to the tip of each bolt 930 that passed through the through hole 620 and tightened, the vertical column 950 on the back surface of the flange 900 was sandwiched between the plate member 600 and the fixture 910 and tightened. Thus, the plate member 600 is stably fixed to the back surface of the ridge 900.

  When the propeller fan of the suction device 800 is operated in the scattering suppression device 500 attached to the bag 900, an air flow that flows to the outside through the filter 700 is generated in the bag 900. Hair loss from a pet animal housed in the bag 900 is guided by this air flow while floating, and is captured by the filter 700 when the air flow passes through the filter 700. Is suppressed. In addition, it is preferable that the side surface and the ceiling surface of the heel 900 equipped with the scattering suppression device 500 are also closed using a plate material in order to more effectively suppress the scattering of hair loss to the outside.

  The plate-like member 600 may be one in which the filter 700 is mounted at two or more locations. In this case, the suction device 800 may be individually attached to each filter 700, or one suction device 800 may be shared by each filter 700. In the latter case, a duct extending from each filter 700 to the suction device 800 is usually disposed on the back surface side of the plate-like member 600, and a static pressure is generated in the duct by the blower fan of the suction device 800, and a required value is obtained. Allow air flow to occur. The blower fan in this case is preferably a centrifugal fan that easily generates a high static pressure in the duct.

  When the plate-like member 600 is formed using a flexible material, the scattering suppressing device 500 according to the above-described embodiment is formed on the outer peripheral surface of a fence-like cage having a planar shape that is circular or polygonal. It can also be attached to follow. In this case, the frame body 710 for mounting the filter 700 to the plate-like member 600 is also made of a material having flexibility that can follow the bending of the plate-like member 600 and the filter 700. Moreover, it is preferable to use the suction device 800 attached to the plate-like member 600 that communicates with the filter 700 through a duct.
