Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bird-repelling for power transmission equipment, and more specifically, to an intelligent bird-repelling system for a power tower. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the national economy, the number of power transmission lines is increasing. At the same time, with the improvement of the bird breeding environment, the number of overhead transmission line failures caused by bird activities has also increased significantly. A large number of bird nesting activities can easily cause large-scale power outages in power transmission lines. It is a very important task for the power department to adopt effective bird-repelling measures to prevent bird activities from causing transmission line failures and ensure the safe and stable operation of power grid transmission lines. In order to deal with this problem, a series of measures need to be taken to detect and drive away birds around power towers.

[0003] Among the bird-repelling applications currently on the market, the main methods of repelling include sound waves, flashes, lasers, etc., or the integration of sound and light and other forms. Although they can achieve the purpose of repelling birds, they have an impact on the surrounding environment. At the same time, when dealing with some birds with strong stress sensitivity, methods such as sound waves, flashes, and lasers can easily cause stress in the flock of birds, causing chaos in the flock of birds and death after stress. Therefore, the current repelling methods are destructive to birds and the surrounding environment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent bird-repelling system for an electric power tower. A detection module, a repelling module, a power module and an Internet of Things monitoring and management module are provided to form an intelligent bird-repelling system. The system has the advantages of accurate detection, effective repelling, remote monitoring and all-weather power supply. It can significantly reduce the circuit transmission failure problem caused by bird damage to the electric power tower, improve the safety and stability of the power system, and use directional sound waves through the repelling module to repel birds based on the principle that birds are sensitive to sound waves of specific frequency and intensity. This measure is a non-harmful method, friendly to the surrounding environment, non-destructive, and will not cause stress and death to the bird flock, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
