Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment describes a zoo enclosure structure comprising alternating grids 100 and support posts 200, wherein the grids 100 and support posts 200 are connected by bolts.

[0039] The top of the grille 100 is fitted with a baffle 110 that is inclined toward the horizontal plane, and the angle between the baffle 110 and the horizontal plane is β, further, β is 50° to 60°.

[0040] Preferably, the thickness of the baffle 110 is 3-5 mm, and the baffle 110 is made of galvanized steel sheet.

[0041] The support column 200 includes a base 210, a column 220, and two retractable support legs 230.

[0042] The base 210 has several elongated holes, and the base 210 is connected to the foundation by anchor bolts. With this configuration, the position of the base 210 on the foundation can be finely adjusted through the elongated holes.

[0043] The column 220 is a hollow square tube, which is vertically fixed to the base 210. Two telescopic support legs 230 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the column 220. The two ends of the telescopic support legs 230 are hinged to the support on the column 220 and the support on the foundation, respectively. This arrangement improves the stability of the column 220.

[0044] A support frame 240 is installed on the top of the column 220. The support frame 240 includes a first support section and a second support section. The angle between the first support section and the horizontal plane is β. Further, β is 50° to 60°.

[0045] The second support section is parallel to the horizontal plane. Several insulators 241 are installed on the second support section. Bare wires are installed on the insulators 241. In this way, the insulators 241 on two adjacent columns 220 are connected in series by bare wires. In actual use, the bare wires are connected to the pulse power supply. When an animal touches the bare wires, the pulse power supply applies a pulse electric shock to the animal that does not affect its health, causing the animal to actively detach after being shocked.

[0046] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figures 1 to 3This embodiment describes a grid 100 comprising a rectangular frame 120, a plurality of first circular tie rods 121, and a plurality of second circular tie rods 122.

[0047] The first circular tie rod 121 and the second circular tie rod 122 are arranged perpendicularly and are fixedly connected; furthermore, the diameters of the first circular tie rod 121 and the second circular tie rod 122 are both 10-15mm.

[0048] The first circular tie rod 121 and the second circular tie rod 122 are both fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 120. The rectangular frame 120 is a frame made of hollow square tubes welded together. Both sides of the rectangular frame 120 are equipped with a barrier net 130, and the mesh size of the barrier net 130 is smaller than the thickness of an animal's arm. The baffle 110 is installed on the top of the rectangular frame 120.

[0049] Other components and connection methods are the same as in Specific Implementation Method 1.

[0050] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 4 and Figure 7 This embodiment describes a telescopic support leg 230, which includes an internally threaded tube 231 and two hinged rods 232.

[0051] Two hinge rods 232 are respectively hinged to the support on the column 220 and the support on the foundation. One of the hinge rods 232 is provided with a left-hand thread, and the other hinge rod 232 is provided with a right-hand thread.

[0052] The internally threaded tube 231 has two internally threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation. Two hinge rods 232 are screwed onto the internally threaded tube 231. Locking nuts 233 are installed on both hinge rods 232, and the end face of the locking nut 233 abuts against the end face of the internally threaded tube 231.

[0053] With this setup, when adjusting the length of the telescopic support leg 230, first loosen the locking nut 233, then turn the internal threaded tube 231 clockwise or counterclockwise. This changes the engagement length of the thread, thereby altering the length of the telescopic support leg 230, making it easier to install the telescopic support leg 230 on the construction site.

[0054] Other components and connection methods are the same as in specific implementation method one or two.

[0055] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 This embodiment describes a telescopic support leg 230 equipped with a limit stop ring 234 and several anti-climb balls 235.

[0056] The anti-climb ball 235 is a hollow plastic ball. The anti-climb ball 235 is coaxially and rotatably connected to the internally threaded tube 231. The limiting ring 234 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the internally threaded tube 231. The lowermost anti-climb ball 235 abuts against the limiting ring 234.

[0057] With this configuration, the limiting ring 234 provides axial limiting for the anti-climb ball 235 on the internal threaded tube 231, preventing the anti-climb ball 235 from falling off the internal threaded tube 231. When the animal climbs up through the retractable support leg 230, the anti-climb ball 235 rotates, causing the animal to slip off the retractable support leg 230.

[0058] Other components and connection methods are the same as those in specific implementation methods one, two or three.

[0059] Working principle

[0060] Combination Figures 1 to 10 Explanation of the working principle of this utility model:

[0061] This utility model is used to enclose the free-range areas in the zoo. The grilles 100 and support columns 200 are arranged alternately and are connected to the support columns 200 by bolts, which can block the animals in each free-range area.

[0062] The retractable support leg 230 provides auxiliary support for the support column 200, improving the stability of the support column 200 and preventing large predators (such as lions, tigers, or bears) from colliding with or climbing the grid 100 for a long time, which would cause the support column 200 to shake. At the same time, several anti-climb balls 235 are installed on the retractable support leg 230. When an animal climbs up through the retractable support leg 230, the anti-climb balls 235 rotate, causing the animal to slip off the retractable support leg 230.

[0063] Animals that are good at climbing will encounter a smooth baffle 110 after climbing to the highest point of the grid 100. Since there is an angle β between the baffle 110 and the horizontal plane, the animals will slide down the baffle 110, preventing them from escaping the free-range area.

[0064] Furthermore, the insulators 241 on two adjacent posts 220 are connected in series by bare wires. In actual use, the bare wires are connected to the pulse power supply. When an animal touches the bare wires, the pulse power supply applies a pulse electric shock to the animal that does not affect its health, causing the animal to actively detach after being shocked.

[0065] The present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
