Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to floorboards for livestock barns.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Traditionally, cages have been widely used as the floorboards of livestock barns used in pet shops, etc. When an animal urinates in the livestock barn, the urine passes below the floorboards and the animal's feet are covered with urine. Care has been taken to avoid getting wet.

However, with conventional cage-like floorboards, when an animal urinates, it is difficult for the urine to pass through the gaps between the boards that make up the cage. There was a problem with it getting dirty.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a floorboard for a livestock barn that is structured so that when an animal urinates in the livestock barn, the urine can be absorbed very quickly during urination.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention has a floor plate for a livestock barn configured as follows.

That is, in this invention, a floorboard for a livestock barn is constructed by laying a water-absorbent sheet on a substrate and placing a wire mesh in close contact with the surface of the water-absorbing sheet.

[Effect]

The floorboard for livestock barns of this invention is constructed as described above, so when an animal urinates on this floorboard, the urine that falls onto the wire mesh is absorbed by the water-absorbent sheet that is tightly attached to the bottom surface of the wire mesh. be done. Therefore, urine that is placed on the holes of the wire mesh due to surface tension also instantly passes through the wire mesh due to the suction force of the water absorbent sheet and is absorbed by the water absorbent sheet below. Therefore, urine does not spread on the wire mesh, so the animal's feet will not get wet during urination.

In addition, since a wire mesh is placed on the surface of the water-absorbent sheet, as mentioned above, there is a gap equal to the thickness of the wire mesh between the water-absorbent sheet and the animal's foot. The structure is such that it does not touch the water absorbent sheet directly. Therefore, even if an animal walks on the floorboard of this invention after urinating, the urine absorbed by the water absorbent sheet will not adhere to the animal's feet.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, the floorboard 1 is configured to be detachable from the main body A of the livestock barn in a drawer manner.

As shown in FIG. 1, this floorboard 1 includes a substrate 2,
It has a three-layer structure of a water absorbent sheet 3 and a wire mesh 4. The substrate 2 and the wire mesh 4 are configured to be openable and closable, and the water absorbent sheet 3 is sandwiched between them.

A mounting frame 5 is provided on the periphery of the wire mesh 4, and mounting pieces 6 are protruded from the bottom of the rear on both sides of the mounting frame 5, and a rotation protrusion 7 is formed on the mounting piece 6. By providing engagement grooves 8 that engage with the rotation projections 7 on both sides of the rear upper surface of the substrate 2, the mounting frame 5 can be opened and closed with respect to the substrate 2. A handle 9 is attached to the front surface of the mounting frame 5.

The substrate 2 is made of a material such as synthetic resin, and its surface is formed into an uneven surface with a large number of small protrusions 10 protruding therefrom. An engagement groove 12 is formed at the front center of the upper surface of the substrate 2, into which an engagement protrusion 11 formed at the center of the lower surface of the mounting frame 5 engages.

The water absorbent sheet 3 is made of nonwoven fabric, sponge, etc., and this water absorbent sheet 3 contains activated carbon and a chemical deodorizer (for example, Teikoku Kako Seizo Co., Ltd., trade name K-
The smell of urine can be eliminated by mixing it with fresh water. Moreover, as shown in FIG.
4, urine passing through the nonwoven fabric 13 may be absorbed into newspaper 14, and this newspaper 14 may be replaced as appropriate.

The wire mesh 4 is coated with resin and has a wire diameter of about 0.8 mm to 2 mm,
Plain weave with about 5 meshes per inch is desirable. As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view in Figure 3, this plain weave wire has alternating peaks and valleys, so urine that falls on the peaks flows along the slopes of the mountains and into the valleys. The urine that flows in is instantly absorbed by the water-absorbing sheet 3 that is in close contact with the valley portion, and the drainage efficiency of the urine that falls onto the wire mesh 4 is extremely high.

Next, methods for attaching the wire mesh 4 to the mounting frame 5 include spot welding, or a method in which a clamping piece is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting frame 5 and the wire mesh 4 is clamped using the clamping piece. .

As described above, the water absorbent sheet 3 is held between the substrate 2 and the wire mesh 4, and the water absorbent sheet 3 is in close contact with the lower surface of the wire mesh 4. and,
Since the surface of the substrate 2 has an uneven surface with a large number of small protrusions 10 formed thereon, the small protrusions 10 and the small protrusions 1
0, that is, in the concave portions of the surface of the substrate 2, the degree of adhesion is weaker than in the portions of the small protrusions 10. Therefore, urine that has fallen onto the wire mesh 4 is quickly absorbed from the small projections 10, that is, the portion where the water-absorbent sheet 3 and the wire mesh 4 are in tighter contact, and is absorbed between the small projections 10. It can be accumulated.

〔effect〕

As mentioned above, the floorboards in the livestock barn of this invention are made by laying a water-absorbing sheet on a substrate and placing a wire mesh on the surface of the water-absorbing sheet in close contact with the surface of the water-absorbing sheet. The urine is absorbed by the water-absorbing sheet through the holes in the wire mesh and instantly passes through the wire mesh. Therefore, the urine during urination does not spread on the wire mesh, so the animal's feet will not get wet with urine during urination, and it is extremely hygienic and has the effect of keeping the animal clean. be.

In addition, if the floorboard of this invention is used, even if the animal walks around on the floorboard after urinating, the urine will be absorbed by the water-absorbent sheet below the wire mesh, and between the water-absorbent sheet and the animal's feet. Because there is a gap equal to the thickness of the wire mesh, the animal's paws do not come into direct contact with the water-absorbing sheet, which also has the effect of preventing urine absorbed by the water-absorbing sheet from adhering to the animal's paws.

The floorboard of this invention can be used not only for pet shops, but also for portable livestock sheds for carrying small dogs and the like.
