BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements in all the drawings, and redundant explanations are omitted. Also, in the explanation in the text, the reference numerals mentioned before are used as necessary.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a bird of prey cage 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the opening/closing door 13 and the drain side door 16 are opened in the cage 10 for birds of prey.

A bird of prey cage 10 is a device having a closed living space 11 inside for a bird of prey to live in. Here, the bird of prey is described as being the owl 2, but of course, it may be something other than the owl 2, such as an eagle, a hawk, or a condor, and also includes large or medium-sized parakeets.

Since the owl 2 is a large-sized bird, the amount of oil powder dropped and the amount of feathers pulled out are large when the bird shakes its body. Oil powder is powdered oil that is secreted from the tail sebaceous gland when the feathers called dust feathers collapse, and is similar to dandruff in humans.

The raptor cage 10 includes a box portion 12, a perch portion 20, an air supply port portion 22, an exhaust port portion 24, a fan portion 25, a sink portion 15, a drain hose portion 17, and a drain tank portion. 17a.

The box part 12 is a box member having a living space 11 having a size necessary for the owl 2 to live therein. The box portion 12 can be configured by including a material having appropriate strength, such as wood.

The box part 12 is closed on the left side, the right side, and the ceiling, and has an opening/closing door 13 on the front side that can be opened and closed using a hinge as a rotation axis. The opening/closing door 13 can be locked using a locking lock (not shown).

The perch part 20 is a member that is installed along the width direction in the living space 11 of the box part 12 and that the owl 2 stops. The perch part 20 can be made of a material having appropriate strength, such as stainless steel.

The perch portion 20 is a rod-shaped member having a circular cross section and is engaged with a U-shaped receiving portion provided on the inner surface of the box portion 12 . A mooring ring for mooring the mooring string of the owl 2 is inserted through the perch portion 20 . The mooring ring can be made of a material having moderate strength, such as stainless steel.

The opening/closing door 13 includes a transparent portion 18 that allows the owner of the owl 2 perched on the perch portion 20 of the living space 11 of the box portion 12 to visually recognize the owl 2 from the outside.

The transparent portion 18 can be made of a transparent material such as glass, acrylic, or plastic. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 1, the transparent portion 18 is provided with metal wires forming a grid-like mesh.

The owl 2 can recognize the existence of the metal wire in the transparent portion 18 . If there is no metal wire in the transparent portion 18 , the owl 2 may mistake the transparent portion 18 for an opening and try to jump out of the box portion 12 and collide with the transparent portion 18 .

However, since the transparent portion 18 where the metal wire exists allows the owl 2 to recognize the presence of the metal wire, it is possible to prevent the owl 2 from jumping out of the box portion 12 and colliding with it.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the air supply port 22 is provided on the ceiling surface side of the box portion 12 and has a hole for taking in the air outside the box portion 12 into the box portion 12 . The air supply port portion 22 has a plurality of slits formed in the central portion of the ceiling surface of the box portion 12 . The air supply port 22 can be made of a material having appropriate strength, such as plastic.

The air outlet portion 24 has a through hole 24c provided on the bottom side of the back surface of the box portion 12 and a through hole 24c for capturing oil powder discharged from the owl 2 and for discharging the air inside the box portion 12 to the outside of the box portion 12. and a filter 24a.

The fan portion 25 includes a fan that operates to form an air flow path in the living space 11 of the box portion 12 and discharge the air taken in from the air supply port portion 22 from the exhaust port portion 24. . The fan operates using power supplied from the commercial power supply.

In addition, since the air supply port 22 is provided on the ceiling side and the exhaust port 24 is provided on the bottom side, the air flow is almost parallel to the direction of gravity. Easy to move sideways.

A partition plate portion 19 shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2 is provided between the exhaust port portion 24 and the living space 11 . The air blown by the fan portion 25 flows into the exhaust port portion 24 through the opening portion 19a.

The sink part 15 is a sink member provided in the lower part of the box part 12 . The sink portion 15 has a concave portion, and is provided with a drain port 15a for penetrating to the lower side of the sink portion 15 . The sink part 15 can be made of a material that is easy to clean, such as stainless steel, while having appropriate strength.

The drain hose portion 17 is a hose provided in a space area 16a below the sink portion 15 and connected to the drain port 15a. The drainage hose portion 17 is preferably a bellows hose made of polyvinyl chloride, which has excellent flexibility and softness, but of course, other hoses may be used.

The drain tank portion 17 a is provided in the space area 16 a below the sink portion 15 and is a tank for collecting the drain water flowing through the drain hose portion 17 . The drain tank portion 17a has a hole for inserting the drain hose portion 17, and is a polyethylene container for storing and transporting drain water.

Normally, the drain door 16 is closed and the drain hose portion 17 and the drain tank portion 17a are hidden. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the drain door 16 is opened. In this state, the drain hose portion 17 and the drain tank portion 17a are exposed.

Next, the operation of the bird of prey cage 10 having the above configuration will be described. For small birds such as Jusisters and Java sparrows, the excretion of oil powder was not a big problem, but for birds of prey such as Owl 2, which has a large body, the amount of oil powder and the amount of feathers that fall off is large.

With the recent pet boom, the number of people who keep Owl 2 is increasing. There are people who get lost.

However, the raptor cage 10 is not a mesh box like the conventional animal breeding cage, but a closed space. As a result, there is a remarkable effect that the room is not soiled by oil powder and fallen feathers, and the user is free from suffering from oil powder allergy.

Then, according to the raptor cage 10, the air taken in from the air supply port 22 by the fan part 25 is circulated in the living space 11 of the box part 12 and discharged from the exhaust port 24. For example, when the room temperature is adjusted with an air conditioner in hot summer, the adjusted air can be taken into the living space 11, and the owl 2 can live comfortably.

In addition, even if the oil powder and the missing feathers flow toward the exhaust port 24 along the flow of air, the oil powder and the feathers are captured by the filter 24a, so that they are not discharged outside the bird of prey cage 10. .

Since greasy powder, feathers, and feces carried along with the circulating air flow are often accumulated in the sink portion 15, the inside of the sink portion 15 is cleaned using water or hot water as necessary. By doing so, the water can be collected in the drain tank portion 17a through the drain hose portion 17.

After finishing the cleaning, it is sufficient to take out the drain tank portion 17a and throw away the dirt. As described above, the bird of prey cage 10 has the advantage that it can be easily cleaned.

As described above, according to the cage 10 for birds of prey, the owner of the owl 2 can appreciate the owl 2 from the transparent portion 18 on the front side, and the oil powder and feathers are not discharged outside the cage. , and can be easily cleaned.
