The present invention relates to an enclosure trap, and more specifically, by connecting a plurality of gate units having a gate panel that can be moved up and down and a plurality of the gate units at an arbitrary angle and an arbitrary height direction positional relationship. Concers about an enclosure trap that can be constructed as an animal capture space of the shape and size of.

In order to prevent damage caused by wild animals such as deer and wild boar, effective methods for capturing wild animals are required. As an apparatus for capturing wild animals, the techniques described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-316456) and Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-249566) have been proposed.

In the animal capture device proposed in Patent Document 1, the animal captured in the device may violently collide with the wall of the device when the entrance is closed or when a person approaches, and may be injured. Injured animals become unsuitable for meat. Therefore, a blindfold may be installed on the wire mesh as in the capture device proposed in Patent Document 2. However, with a blindfolded capture device, animals are often vigilant and unable to enter.

As an apparatus for solving the above problems, an enclosure trap described in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-128223) has been proposed. In this enclosure, the upper side of the cube-shaped frame made of metal is blocked by a fixing plate, and the lower part is an entrance for animals to enter. When the lower tier is open as an entrance, the door plate is hung at a position that almost overlaps with the fixed plate, and when it is detected that an animal has invaded the inside of the enclosure, the door plate falls. The lower entrance is blocked. In order to install the enclosure trap proposed in Patent Document 3, a flat place having a certain size is required, so that it may be difficult to install it on a slope or in the most desirable place.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[Gate unit]
First, a gate unit capable of forming an enclosure trap will be described. FIG. 1 shows a gate unit 1A and a gate unit 1B according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 (a1) is a front view of a gate unit 1A having a width corresponding to one gate panel, and FIG. 1 (a2) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the gate unit 1A of FIG. 1 (a1). Further, FIG. 1 (b1) is a front view of a gate unit 1B having a width corresponding to two gate panels, and FIG. 1 (b2) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of the gate unit 1B of FIG. 1 (b1). is there. In the present specification, in the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B, the side on which the lock mechanism 16 is arranged (that is, the side visible in (a1) and (b1) of FIG. 1) is the front surface.

The gate unit 1A in FIG. 1A shows a state in which the gate panel 15 is raised to the uppermost position and held in the standby position by the lock mechanism 16. Further, the gate unit 1B shows a state in which the left gate panel 15 in FIG. 1 (b1) has dropped halfway, and the right gate panel 15 has completely dropped and is in a closed position.

The gate unit 1A of FIG. 1A has a frame 11 that forms a substantially quadrangular space 12 by combining the upper and lower horizontal frames 11a and the left and right vertical frames 11b. The gate unit 1B of FIG. 1 (b1) has a frame 11 having a size in which two frames 11 of the gate unit 1A are laterally connected. The gate unit 1B has a vertical intermediate frame 11d that vertically divides a substantially quadrangular space 12 at an intermediate position in the width direction. The gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B may be erected by placing the lower horizontal frame 11a on the ground and using a support member (not shown) connected to any of the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B. it can.

The gate unit 1B of FIG. 1 (b1) is configured to have one vertical intermediate frame 11d, but the number of vertical intermediate frames 11d is not limited to this, and two or more vertical intermediate frames are not limited to this. A frame 11d may be provided. For example, the frame 11 may be provided with two vertical intermediate frames 11d so as to divide the space 12 into three parts. In this case, the space 12 may be divided into three parts having the same width as the gate unit 1B, or the gate unit may have a width three times as wide as the frame 11 of the gate unit 1A.

The left and right vertical frames 11b have panel rails 11b1 arranged so as to face each other as shown in FIGS. 1 (a2) and 1 (b2). Further, in the gate unit 1B, the vertical intermediate frame 11d also has the panel rail 11b1. The vertical frame 11b and the vertical intermediate frame 11d have a thickness capable of accommodating the end portions of the two panels, that is, the end portions of the blind panel 14 and the gate panel 15, on the panel rail 11b1. As will be described later, the gate panel 15 moves between the standby position and the closed position by traveling in the panel rail 11b1.

Connecting bars 13a and 13b are connected to both sides of the frame 11 via a plurality of bridges 13c. The connecting bars 13a and 13b are preferably round pipes, but are not limited to these, and square pipes, polygonal pipes, and the like can be used as needed, and the connecting bars 13a and 13b are not limited to one pipe. It can also be configured by arranging a plurality of short pipes along the vertical frame 11b.

The connecting bars 13a and 13b use a known technique such as a universal clamp fitting (not shown) when connecting a plurality of gate units 1A and / or gate units 1B to form the enclosure trap 2 shown in FIG. Connected to each other. That is, for example, when connecting the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B, the connecting bar 13b (or 13a) of the gate unit 1A and the connecting bar 13a (or 13b) of the gate unit 1B are connected by a universal clamp fitting. be able to.

Since the connecting bars 13a and 13b are arranged along the vertical frame 11b, the adjacent connecting bars 13a and 13b can be connected to each other in a positional relationship shifted in the height direction, and therefore the adjacent gate units 1A and 13b can be connected to each other. / Or even if the heights of the ground on which the gate unit 1B is placed are different from each other. Further, if the connecting bars 13a and 13b are used, the adjacent gate units 1A and / or the gate units 1B can be connected at an arbitrary angle. Therefore, a plurality of gate units 1A and / or the gate units 1B can be connected. An enclosure trap 2 having an arbitrary overall shape as shown in FIG. 5 can be constructed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the length of the connecting bar 13a and the length of the connecting bar 13b are different, but in this case, the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B are erected on the ground using a support rod. This is to secure a space for passing the upper part of the support rod (not shown). That is, by shortening one connecting bar 13a of the adjacent gate unit 1A and / or gate unit 1B, a gap is provided between the upper part of the frame 11 and the connecting bar 13b of the other gate unit 1A and / or gate unit 1B. Can be passed through the upper part of the support rods arranged diagonally here. Therefore, when the gate unit 1A and / or the gate unit 1B is erected by another method, the lengths of the adjacent connecting bars may be the same.

The frame 11 has a horizontal intermediate frame 11c passed between the left and right vertical frames 11b slightly above the intermediate position in the height direction. The horizontal intermediate frame 11c divides the space 12 into an upper space 12a located above the frame 11 and a lower space 12b located below the frame 11 and slightly wider than the upper space 12a.

The gate unit 1A has a blind panel 14 arranged so as to block the upper space 12a. Similarly, the gate unit 1B has two blind panels 14 corresponding to the width of the small space formed by dividing the upper space 12a by the vertical intermediate frame 11d. Further, the gate unit 1A has a gate panel 15 whose end is arranged in the panel rail 11b1 and can move in the vertical direction along the panel rail 11b1, and the gate unit 1B has two similar gate panels 15. Have.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the size of the gate panel 15 is larger than that of the blind panel 14 in order to make the lower space 12b as wide as possible so that animals can easily invade the inside of the enclosure trap 2. In another embodiment, the gate panel 15 may be the same size as the blind panel 14. The blind panel 14 is opaque and has excellent weather resistance, and the gate panel 15 is not particularly limited as long as it is opaque and has excellent weather resistance and can withstand the impact of dropping. , Veneer plywood such as control panel, ordinary plywood, structural plywood, resin plate, metal plate and the like can be appropriately used.

The gate panel 15 can be moved between the standby position in the highest position (state in FIG. 1 (a1)) and the position in the lowest position (state of the gate panel 15 on the right side in FIG. 1 (b1)). Is. When the gate panel 15 is in the standby position, at least a part thereof overlaps with the blind panel 14, and when the gate panel 15 is completely dropped, the lower space 12b is closed by the gate panel 15 (this of the gate panel 15). The position is called the closed position). When the gate panel 15 is in the standby position, it is held by the lock mechanism 16 described below so as not to fall.

[Lock mechanism]
FIG. 2 shows the lock mechanism 16 of the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B. FIG. 2A shows a state in which the lock mechanism 16 is unlocked, and FIG. 2B shows a state in which the lock mechanism 16 is locked. The lock mechanism 16 includes a movable lock member (first lock member) 16a attached to the gate panel 15, a fixed lock member (second lock member) 16b attached to the lower surface of the lateral intermediate frame 11c, and a movable lock member 16a. And a lock pin 16c for locking the fixed lock member 16b.

The movable lock member 16a is erected on the surface of the mounting plate 16a1 attached to the gate panel 15, the lock pin insertion plate 16a2 erected on the surface of the mounting plate 16a1, and the lock pin 16a1. It has an angle-shaped wire mounting plate 16a4 having a surface orthogonal to the surface of the insertion plate 16a2. The position where the attachment plate 16a1 is attached to the gate panel 15 is not limited, but by attaching the attachment plate 16a1 to the lower part as much as possible, the lower end of the gate panel 15 can be held at a high position and the lower space 12b can be greatly opened. The lock pin insertion plate 16a2 has a lock pin insertion hole 16a3 (first insertion hole) through which the lock pin 16c passes. Further, the wire mounting plate 16a4 has two wire mounting holes 16a5.

The fixed lock member 16b has a pair of angle-shaped lock pin insertion plates 16b1 attached to the lower surface of the horizontal intermediate frame 11c. Each of the pair of lock pin insertion plates 16b1 has a lock pin insertion hole 16b2 (second insertion hole) through which the lock pin 16c passes in a portion (one wing portion of the angle) that hangs downward. The pair of lock pin insertion plates 16b1 are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other, and the distance is set so as to be larger than the thickness of the lock pin insertion plate 16a2 of the movable lock member 16a.

The lock pin 16c includes a shaft 16c1 penetrating the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 of the movable lock member 16a and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2 of the fixed lock member 16b, and a wire mounting hole 16c2 provided at one end of the shaft 16c1. Has.

To lock the lock mechanism 16, from the unlocked state shown in FIG. 2A, the lock pin insertion plate 16a2 of the movable lock member 16a is replaced with a pair of lock pin insertion plates 16b1 of the fixed lock member 16b. The movable lock member 16a is moved so as to be in between. By matching the height of the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 with the height of the lock pin insertion hole 16b2 and passing the shaft 16c1 of the lock pin 16c through the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2, the lock mechanism 16 is locked. It becomes. On the contrary, in order to unlock the lock mechanism 16, the lock pin 16c may be released from the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2 in the locked state shown in FIG. 2B.

[Explanation of operation of gate unit]
Next, the operation of the gate panel 15 of the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B will be described. FIG. 3 shows how the gate panel 15 in the gate unit 1A and the gate unit 1B moves.

FIG. 3A shows a state in which the gate panel 15 is locked in the standby position by the lock mechanism 16. At this time, the lock mechanism 16 is in the locked state shown in FIG. 2B, and the gate panel 15 is in the uppermost position, that is, the standby position. A part of the gate panel 15 is in a state of overlapping with the blind panel 14.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the lock pin 16c of the lock mechanism 16 comes out of the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2, the movable lock member 16a and the fixed lock member 16b are separated. , The lock mechanism 16 is released, and the gate panel 15 starts to fall due to its own weight. After that, the gate panel 15 goes through the state shown in FIG. 3 (c) and stops at the closed position where it has completely dropped as shown in FIG. 3 (d). At the time of FIG. 3C, the gate panel 15 completely closes the lower space 12b.

[Enclosure Trap]
By connecting a plurality of gate units 1A and / or gate units 1B shown in FIG. 1, a trap 2 composed of a gate unit 21 and gate units 22a to 22n can be formed as shown in FIG. it can. The enclosure trap 2 is formed by connecting a plurality of gate units 1A and a plurality of gate units 1B via a connecting bar 13 as needed. As described above, the plurality of gate units 1A and / or the gate units 1B can be connected to each other at an arbitrary angle, and are connected to each other in a positional relationship shifted in the height direction. Therefore, the enclosure trap 2 having an arbitrary shape and size can be easily formed even on a slope. The gate units to be connected may be all gate units 1A, all gate units 1B, or a mixture of gate units 1A and gate units 1B, if necessary. It is preferable that the enclosure trap 2 is provided with a connecting portion blind plate 23 for hiding the connecting bars 13a and 13b of the gate unit 1A and / or the gate unit 1B.

In the enclosure trap 2, the gate panel 15 is raised to the uppermost position (standby position) before the animal is captured, and the lock mechanism 16 is in the state shown in FIG. 2B. In this state, since the gate unit 21 of the enclosure trap 2 and the lower space 12b of the gate units 22a to 22n are all open, the visibility of the animal is secured and it is difficult to be alert. Animals will invade the internal animal capture space from the open lower space 12b.

A wire 16d is attached between the adjacent gate unit 21 and the gate units 22a to 22n. One end of the wire 16d is attached to the wire mounting hole 16c2 of the lock pin 16c of the lock mechanism 16 provided in one gate unit, and the other end of the wire 16d is movable of the lock mechanism 16 provided in the other gate unit. It is attached to the wire attachment hole 16a5 of the lock member 16a. The other end of the wire 16d is not limited to being attached to the wire mounting hole 16a5, and if the wire 16d can pull the lock pin 16c as the gate panel 15 falls, any of the gate panels 15 can be used. It may be a position.

In the enclosure trap 2, when an animal enters the internal animal capture space, the lock mechanism 16 attached to each of the gate unit 21 and the gate units 22a to 22n is released in a chain reaction, and the gate panel 15 falls in sequence. It has become like. When an animal enters the animal capture space, a trigger device (not shown) installed at an appropriate position inside or outside the animal capture space detects that the animal has entered, and the trigger shown in FIG. 5 (a). It can be configured to pull the wire 16t. The trigger device that detects an animal and pulls the trigger wire 16t can be realized by using a known electric device or mechanical device, and the description thereof will be omitted. Alternatively, the enclosure trap 2 pulls the trigger wire 16t at an appropriate timing when an animal enters the animal capture space, or artificially or automatically releases the lock mechanism 16 of the gate unit 21. It may be configured to do so.

In the enclosure trap 2, the gate unit 21 drawn in the front central portion of FIG. 5A is set as the trigger gate unit 21, and the other gate units are set as the chain gate units 22a to 22n. ing. A trigger wire 16t is attached to each of the two lock pins 16c of the trigger gate unit 21, and when an animal enters the animal capture space, the two trigger wires 16t are pulled by an appropriate method. When the trigger wire 16t is pulled, the lock pin 16c comes out of the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2 (see FIG. 3B). When the lock pin 16c is pulled out, the two gate panels 15 of the trigger gate unit 21 fall by their own weight (see FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (d)).

Here, a mechanism in which the lock mechanisms 16 of the plurality of chain gate units 22a to 22n are released and the gate panels 15 fall in a chained manner will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lock mechanism 16 is unlocked in a chain reaction from (a) to (c).

As shown in FIG. 4A, when the gate panel 15 of the gate unit shown on the left is dropped, the wire 16d attached to the wire attachment hole 16a5 of the wire attachment plate 16a4 is pulled. When the wire 16d is pulled, in the adjacent gate unit (center view), the lock pin 16c whose other end of the wire 16d is attached to the wire mounting hole 16c2 is pulled, and the shaft 16c1 has the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin. It begins to come out from the insertion hole 16b2. At this time, in the further adjacent gate unit (right figure), the shaft 16c1 is still inserted into the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the gate panel 15 of the gate unit in the left figure further drops, the lock pin 16c of the adjacent gate unit (center view) is further pulled, and the lock pin insertion hole is inserted. It completely comes out of 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2. When the lock pin 16c is completely removed, the gate panel 15 in the center view starts to fall. Since the wire 16d pulled by the gate panel 15 that has begun to fall pulls the lock pin 16c of the adjacent gate unit (right figure), the lock pin 16c starts to come out from the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the gate unit in the central view is further dropped, the lock pin 16c of the adjacent gate unit (right figure) is further pulled, and the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion are inserted. Completely exit through hole 16b2. When the lock pin 16c is completely removed, the gate panel 15 shown on the right also begins to fall.

In this way, in the enclosure trap 2, a plurality of chain gate units 22a are triggered by the trigger wire 16t being pulled and the lock pin 16c of the trigger gate unit 21 being pulled out of the lock pin insertion hole 16a3 and the lock pin insertion hole 16b2. The gate panel 15 of ~ 22n falls in a chain as shown in FIG. In the enclosure trap 2 shown in FIG. 5, when the two gate panels 15 of the trigger gate unit 21 fall, the chain gate unit 22b, the chain gate unit 22c, ... The gate panel 15 falls in this order, and the gate panel 15 falls in the order of the chain gate unit 22m, the chain gate unit 22l, ... From the chain gate unit 22n adjacent to the right side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5B, the gate panels 15 of all the gate units 21, 22a to 22n fall, and the animals can be trapped inside.

The form in which the plurality of gate panels 15 fall in the enclosure trap is not limited to FIG. For example, the gate unit 1A is used as the trigger gate unit 21, and the fall of the gate panel 15 triggers the gate panel 15 to fall in order from the gate unit 22a or 22n adjacent to one side of the trigger gate unit 21, and the trigger gate unit 21 The gate panel 15 adjacent to the other side of the may be dropped last. Alternatively, a plurality of gate units may be set as the trigger gate unit 21, and each of the plurality of trigger gate units 21 may be arranged at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction of the enclosure trap. In this enclosure, a plurality of trigger gate units 21 are set to operate at the same time by detecting that an animal has entered the inside, and the gate panel 15 of the plurality of trigger gate units 21 has fallen as a trigger. The gate panel 15 of the gate unit of the above falls. Such an enclosure trap reduces the time required for all gate panels 15 to completely fall, as compared to an enclosure trap in which the number of gate units is the same but only one trigger gate unit 21 is set. be able to.

In the enclosure trap 2, all the gate panels 15 are configured to fall in a chain reaction, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if necessary, the gate panel 15 of any gate unit can be made to fall in advance by removing a part of the wires 16d, so that the gate panel 15 of any gate unit is not dropped. It can also be.

An animal capture device can also be attached to the enclosure trap 2. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the existing animal capture device 3 is connected to an enclosure trap 2'composed by connecting a plurality of gate units 1A and / or gate units 1B. In the enclosure 2'shown in FIG. 5, the gate units 22r, 22s, and 22t are connected to the connecting portion between the gate unit 22k and the gate unit 22l, and the gate unit 22m and the gate unit 22l are connected to each other. The gate units 22o, 22p, and 22q are connected to the connecting portion. The animal capture device 3 is connected to the gate unit 22q and the gate unit 22t. It is preferable that the gate unit 22u is arranged in front of the animal capture device 3.
