Description

The present invention relates to a connecting structure of lattice surface materials and an assembling type cage, and more particularly to an assembling type cage and a connecting structure for connecting two orthogonal lattice surface materials in the assembly of the assembling type cage.

In a cage for animals and the like, there is a cage in which a lattice surface material made of welded wire mesh is assembled in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
Patent Document 1 discloses a cage for catching animals, which is formed by assembling a steel material into a rectangular parallelepiped shape and welding it. Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose a cage for catching animals, which is formed by assembling a planar flat wire mesh into a rectangular parallelepiped shape and integrally connecting the ends of the flat wire mesh with a connecting coil.

The prior art has the following drawbacks.
<1> The cage of Patent Document 1 has an integrated structure in which each face material is welded to each other and cannot be assembled or disassembled at the installation site. Therefore, the cage must be transported from the factory to the installation site in a completed state. .. Therefore, the space is widely occupied during transportation and storage, and the transportation cost increases.
<2> The cages of Patent Documents 2 and 3 can be transported in a state of being disassembled into each face material and a coil, but it is troublesome to screw the coil into the lattice of the face material and connect the face materials to each other. take time. Further, if the pitch of the coil and the pitch of the mesh of the face material deviate from each other, the coil is constrained by the mesh and does not rotate, and a large force is required to screw the coil. Therefore, the physical burden on the worker is large.
<3> In the case of coil connection, since each surface rotates around the coil, the connection angle between the surface materials cannot be fixed in the process of assembly. For example, when the bottom surface and the side surface are coiled, the side surface is rotatable with respect to the bottom surface, so that the side surface cannot stand on the bottom surface. Therefore, it is necessary to always support each surface with a hand or a jig and assemble, which is difficult.

An object of the present invention is to provide a connecting structure of a lattice surface material and an assembly type cage that can solve the above problems.

In the connecting structure of the lattice surface materials of the present invention, the two lattice surface materials are each a plurality of first wire members arranged in parallel, and the two lattice surface materials extend in a direction parallel to each other. The first wire and the plurality of second wires arranged in parallel, which are a plurality of second wires extending in the directions orthogonal to each other in the two lattice surface materials, are connected in a grid pattern, and 2 Each of the grid surface materials is locked, in which at least a part of the plurality of second wire rods is bent at the end on the side close to the other grid surface material in a direction away from the other grid surface material. It has an end, and the locking ends of the two lattice surface materials overlap each other, and an insertion passage that communicates in the extending direction of the first wire is formed in the overlapped locking end, and a rod-shaped barb is formed in the insertion passage. The member extends, and the bent portion of the locking end in one lattice surface material is sandwiched between the outermost first wire rod in the other lattice surface material and the barb member, and the locking end in the other lattice surface material is sandwiched. It is characterized in that the bent portion of the above is sandwiched between the outermost first wire rod in one lattice surface material and the barb member.

The assembly-type cage of the present invention is characterized in that two orthogonal grid surface materials are connected to each other by a connecting structure.

In the assembling type cage of the present invention, at least one of the plurality of grid surface materials has a regulating portion in which the pitch between specific second wires is narrower than the pitch between other second wires, and the regulating portion has a regulating portion. By sandwiching the ends of two adjacent second wire rods between two adjacent second wire rods in other adjacent grid surface materials, the first wire rod of the two adjacent grid surface materials Relative sliding in the extending direction may be regulated.

In the assembling type cage of the present invention, the bar member has a linear portion and a holding portion provided at at least one end of the linear portion, and has a holding portion for restricting the linear portion from coming out of the insertion passage. You may be.

In the assembled cage of the present invention, at least one of the plurality of bar members may have holding portions at both ends of the linear portion.

The prefabricated cage of the present invention may be configured as a catch cage for animals by attaching a slide door to one surface having no lattice surface material.

The prefabricated cage of the present invention has an intrusive portion in which the locking end of the lattice surface material that becomes the bottom surface when installed on the ground is extended longer than the locking end of other lattice surface materials, and is installed on the ground. Occasionally, the intrusion may be configured to allow penetration into the ground.

Since the connecting structure of the lattice surface material and the assembly type cage of the present invention have the above-mentioned structure, they have at least one of the following effects.
<1> Since it can be transported to the installation location in a flat package with the grid surface materials stacked, it is not bulky during transportation and the transportation cost can be significantly reduced.
<2> From the disassembled state, it can be assembled in a short time by an easy procedure of inserting the bar member into the locking end. Also, disassembly is extremely easy as well.
<3> Since the structure is such that the locking ends of the adjacent lattice surface materials are sandwiched between the bar member and the wire material, it is possible to restrict the rotation of the lattice surface materials at the same time as connecting the lattice surface materials. Therefore, in the process of assembling, there is no need for manual support or a jig for fixing the connection angle of the lattice surface material, and the assembling is easy.

[Assembled cage]
<1> Overall configuration (Fig. 1).
The assembly-type cage 1 of the present invention is a box body formed by assembling a plurality of lattice surface materials 10 into a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
Specifically, the assembly type cage 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of lattice surface members 10 to each other by a bar member 20.
In this example, a total of five grid surface materials 10 including the top surface, the bottom surface, the left side surface, the right side surface, and the back surface are used, and the top surface and the left side surface, the top surface and the right side surface, the top surface and the back surface, the bottom surface and the left side surface, and the bottom surface and the right side are used. The faces are connected by the bar members 20 respectively.
However, the number of grid surface members 10 and the connection position by the bar member 20 are not limited to this, and an appropriate number and connection position can be selected according to the application.
In this example, the case where the prefabricated cage 1 is used as a catch cage for animals will be described, but the use of the prefabricated cage 1 is not limited to this, and by utilizing the feature that it is easy to assemble and disassemble, for example, a construction site. It can also be used as a waste container in a mobile zoo or as a cage for breeding in a mobile zoo.
The assembling type cage 1 of the present invention has one feature in a connecting structure in which a plurality of lattice surface materials 10 can be easily and surely connected by a combination of a locking end 12 of the lattice surface material 10 and a bar member 20.

<2> Lattice surface material (Fig. 2).
The lattice surface material 10 is a member constituting each surface of the assembly type cage 1.
The grid surface material 10 is formed by assembling the wire rod 11 into a grid panel shape.
Specifically, the plurality of first wire rods 11a arranged in parallel and the plurality of second wire rods 11b arranged in parallel are assembled in a grid pattern and connected at an intersection.
Here, in the present invention, the first wire rod 11a means the wire rod 11 extending in the direction parallel to each other in the two lattice surface materials 10 connected orthogonally, and is orthogonal to the second wire rod 11b. It means a wire rod 11 extending in a direction orthogonal to each other in the two grid surface materials 10 connected in the direction of each other.
The "first" and "second" referred to here are names for convenience of explanation that are relatively determined by the position with the other grid surface material 10 to be connected, and are, for example, the first in relation to the grid surface material 10 on the side surface. The wire rod 11 of the upper surface grid surface material 10 which is the wire rod 11a may become the second wire rod 11b in relation to the back grid surface material 10.

<2.1> Locking end.
The locking end 12 is a portion that connects two orthogonal grid surface members 10 to each other via a bar member 20 described later.
The locking end 12 is formed by bending the ends of the plurality of second wire rods 11b in the surface direction of the lattice surface material 10. Here, the "surface" is the surface of the assembled cage 1 after the assembled cage 1.
In this example, the ends of the plurality of second wires 11b are bent 90 degrees to form the locking end 12. However, the angle of the locking end 12 is not limited to 90 degrees, and may be an angle that can hold the bar member 20 described later at the time of assembly.
The locking end 12 may be provided only on the connecting side connected to the other lattice surface material 10, and does not need to be provided on all the second wire rods 11b at the connecting side.
In this example, the locking ends 12 are the side surface side and the back surface side of the upper surface grid surface material 10, the side surface side and the back surface side of the bottom surface grid surface material 10, the upper surface side and the bottom surface side, and the back surface of the side surface grid surface material 10. It is provided on the upper surface side and the bottom surface side of the grid surface material 10 of the above, respectively.
When the locking ends 12 of the two orthogonal grid surface members 10 are overlapped with each other, the inner surfaces of the opposing locking ends 12 form an insertion passage S for inserting the bar member 20.

<2.2> Regulatory Department (Fig. 3).
The regulating unit 13 is a portion that regulates the relative sliding of the two connected grid surface materials 10.
The regulating unit 13 is configured by making the pitch of the two second wire rods 11b in the lattice surface material 10 narrower than the pitches of the other second wire rods 11b.
When the pitches of the second wire rods 11b in the two connected grid surface materials 10 are all the same, the two grid surface materials 10 are relatively relative to the bar member 20 by the width of the pitch of the second wire rods 11b. It will slide.
On the other hand, by providing the regulating portion 13 having a narrow pitch on at least one of the grid surface materials 10 as in this example, the two second wire rods 11b in the regulating portion 13 can be replaced with the other grid surface material 10-2. It is put inside the second wire 11b of the book and restrained between the second wires 11b. This makes it possible to prevent the two lattice surface members 10 from sliding relative to each other.
If the sliding of the grid surface material 10 can be regulated by a method such as binding with a number wire or a binding band, it is not always necessary to provide the regulating portion 13.

<3> Latch member.
The bar member 20 is a member that connects two lattice surface members 10 with a pin.
The bar member 20 includes a linear portion 21 and a holding portion 22 provided at one end or both ends of the linear portion 21.
In this example, as the bar member 20, a wire rod in which the end portion of the linear portion 21 made of steel wire is folded back into a hook shape to form the holding portion 22 is adopted.
As will be described later, the bar member 20 is used by being inserted along the first wire rod 11a into the insertion passage S composed of the opposing locking ends 12, and the locking end 12 of one of the lattice surface members 10 is used in advance. It is also possible to set the bar member 20 in the space and insert the locking end 12 of the other lattice surface material 10 from the tip side for use.
When it is inserted into the insertion passage S and used, one end of the linear portion 21 needs to be a protruding end instead of the holding portion 22, but when it is set in the locking end 12 in advance, the linear portion 21 is used. Both ends of 21 may be used as holding portions 22.
Therefore, in this example, the bar member 20 having the holding portion 22 provided at one end of the linear portion 21 and the bar member 20 having the holding portions 22 provided at both ends of the linear portion 21 are used in combination.

<4> Assembly method.
The method of assembling the assembly type cage 1 of the present invention will be described below.
The following is only an example of the assembly method, and the work procedure and the position of connection can be changed as needed.

<4.1> Connection of side grid surface materials (FIG. 4A).
The grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface is installed on the installation surface. At this time, the protruding direction of the locking end 12 is directed to the outside, that is, downward.
The grid surface material 10 on the left side surface is aligned with the left side side of the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface. Specifically, the lattice surface material 10 on the left side surface with the locking end 12 facing to the left side is brought into contact with the left side side of the lattice surface material 10 on the bottom surface.
Then, the first wire rod 11a in the bottom row of the grid surface material 10 on the left side rides on the second wire rod 11b of the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface, and the locking end 12 of the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface and the grid on the left side surface. A loop-shaped insertion passage S is formed between the locking ends 12 of the face material 10.
The bar member 20 is inserted into the insertion passage S to connect the lattice surface material 10 on the bottom surface and the lattice surface material 10 on the left bottom surface.
Similarly, the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface and the grid surface material 10 on the right side surface are connected.
When the side grid surface material 10 is connected, the tip of the second wire material 11b of the side surface grid surface material 10 is sandwiched between the first wire material 11a outside the bottom surface grid surface material 10 and the bar member 20 to form a side surface. The rotation of the lattice surface material 10 inward or outward with respect to the bar member 20 is restricted.
As a result, the grid surface material 10 on the side surface stands on the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface, so that the subsequent assembly work becomes easy.

<4.2> Connection of the grid surface material on the upper surface.
The grid surface material 10 on the upper surface is placed on the upper part of the grid surface material 10 on the right side surface and the left side surface.
At this time, if the self-standing grid surface materials 10 on the right side surface and the left side surface are tilted slightly inward, the grid surface material 10 on the upper surface can be easily placed on the grid surface material 10 on the side surface.
The locking ends 12 of the lattice surface material 10 on the right side surface and the left side surface are overlapped with the locking ends 12 on both sides of the lattice surface material 10 on the upper surface to form an insertion passage S, and the barb member 20 is inserted into the insertion passage S. do.
As a result, the lattice surface material 10 on the upper surface is connected to the lattice surface material 10 on the right side surface and the left side surface, and a square cylinder composed of the bottom surface, the upper surface, and both side surfaces is constructed.
However, unlike the coil connection of the prior art, this square cylinder has a grid surface material 10 on the side surface that is self-supporting because the rotation of the grid surface material 10 is restricted at the connecting portion of each lattice surface material 10. The shape is maintained.

<4.3> Connection of the grid surface materials on the back surface (FIG. 4B).
The locking end 12 below the back grid surface material 10 is hooked on the first wire 11a on the backmost side of the bottom grid surface material 10, and the upper part of the back surface material 10 is centered on the bar member 20. It is rotated in the 10 direction of the lattice surface material on the upper surface.
The locking end 12 above the lattice surface material 10 on the back surface and the locking end 12 on the back surface side of the lattice surface material 10 on the upper surface are overlapped to form the insertion passage S, and the bar member 20 is provided in the insertion passage S. insert.
As described above, the five lattice surface members 10 are connected by the bar members 20 on the upper surface and the left side surface, the upper surface and the right side surface, the upper surface and the back surface, the bottom surface and the left side surface, and the bottom surface and the right side surface, respectively, and the assembly type cage 1 is formed. Complete.
In this example, the lattice surface material 10 on the back surface and the lattice surface material 10 on the bottom surface are directly connected at the locking end 12a without using the bar member 20, but this may be connected by the bar member 20.
Of the bar members 20, the bar member 20 having one end as a tip may come off from the insertion passage S as it is. Therefore, the holding portion 22 may be fixed, the linear portion 21 may be bound, the tip may be bent, or the like. The bar member 20 is prevented from coming off by the means of.

[Application example to capture cage]
The prefabricated cage 1 of the present invention can be used, for example, as a catch cage for animals (FIG. 5).
The animals to be captured include, for example, ino and deer that are targeted for extermination of animal damage.
In this example, the drop-type slide door A is attached to the open surface without the grid surface material 10 among the six surfaces of the assembly-type cage 1.
The slide door A is designed to fall in conjunction with a trigger installed at the back of the prefabricated cage 1 to trap animals. Since the structure of this slide door A is known, it will not be described in detail here.
Further, in this example, the lattice surface material 10 as the bottom surface is provided with an intrusive portion 12a in which the locking end 12 protruding downward is extended longer than the locking end 12 of the other lattice surface material 10.
In this example, when assembling the capture cage, by arranging the grid surface material 10 on the bottom surface on the ground and then stepping on it from above, the plurality of intrusive portions 12a can be penetrated into the ground and securely installed.
