In addition, photovoltaic power stations are often built in remote areas, and conventional communication networks are easily interrupted by natural disasters, and lack efficient emergency cooperative inspection means, further increasing the difficulty of power station operation and maintenance. To solve the above problems, the present application designs a solar photovoltaic panel bird driving vehicle, which integrates intelligent identification, multi-element bird driving, emergency communication and unmanned aerial vehicle cooperation functions, adapts to the complex environment of photovoltaic power stations, realizes precise, efficient and intelligent bird driving, and at the same time meets the communication guarantee and inspection cooperation needs in emergency scenarios.

[0042] Innovative points / principles of the technical solutions of the present application:
[0043] (I) Overall architecture

[0045] (II) Core module description
[0046] 1. Bird repelling execution module
[0047] Hardware composition: composed of AI visual camera 5, laser radar 6, vehicle-mounted high-performance computing device (NVIDIA Jetson series module or edge server), storage device.
[0048] AI and deep learning models: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM variant). CNN extracts image features such as bird feather color and body outline through convolution layers, reduces dimensionality through pooling layers, and classifies through fully connected layers to achieve accurate bird species recognition. RNN and LSTM variant process time series data of bird position changes, analyze flight trajectories and gathering areas, and predict behavior intentions (such as preparing to land).
[0049] Workflow:
[0050] Data collection and annotation: AI vision camera 5 collects images under multiple time periods and weather conditions in the photovoltaic field area, and manually annotates bird species, position (bounding box coordinates), and behavior state (flight / landing, etc.), to build a dataset containing training set, validation set, and test set.
[0051] Model training: Train CNN model with training set data, optimize learning rate and number of convolution kernels, and evaluate validation set to prevent overfitting. Train RNN / LSTM variant model with annotated time series data to learn the correlation between bird activity patterns and behavior intentions.
[0052] Real-time recognition and decision-making: During patrol, the camera takes real-time images, inputs the trained CNN model to output bird species and quantity, extracts consecutive frame bird position information, analyzes flight trajectories, gathering areas, and behavior intentions through RNN / LSTM variant model, and provides basis for bird repelling strategies.
[0053] 2. Multi-element bird repelling coordination module
[0054] Laser bird repelling: Laser radar 6 consists of detection and control module 61, signal processing module 62, and laser emission and scanning module 63. After AI vision camera 5 identifies and locates birds, it triggers laser radar to emit safe laser beams with specific wavelength and power, which stimulate and visually interfere with birds to avoid harm.
[0055] Sound and light coordination bird repelling: Sound wave generator 8 consists of induction and trigger module 81, signal control and processing module 82, sound wave signal generation module 83, and sound wave emission module 84, which can emit specific frequency sound waves such as simulated predator calls and ultrasonic waves; loudspeaker synchronously plays deterrent sound effects, and strobe light 7 flashes warning light. When birds enter the warning range, sound and light coordination triggers to interfere with birds' hearing and vision, enhancing the repelling effect and adapting to medium and close-range group birds.
[0056] Strategy coordination: Based on bird species (such as laser-sensitive birds prioritizing laser repelling), behavior intentions (intervening before preparing to land), and gathering scale (group birds superimposing sound waves / light), intelligently select single or combined bird repelling mode, dynamically adjust patrol route, and focus on bird gathering areas.
[0057] 3. Energy and communication guarantee module
[0058] Power supply module: monocrystalline silicon solar panel 3 assists charging for vehicle body cruising during the day, and stores electric energy to a large capacity battery; magnetic suction charging port 9 supports rapid energy replenishment at the base, realizing multi-element endurance of "solar energy + energy storage + magnetic suction charging", and adapting to the scene of remote power station without power grid.
[0059] Communication and emergency cooperation:
[0060] Normal communication: communication antenna 4 transmits vehicle state (power, equipment working condition), environmental perception (bird identification data), bird repelling log to the remote monitoring center in real time, and supports receiving control instructions (adjusting patrol route, bird repelling parameters).
[0061] Emergency communication relay: after the liftable communication mast is unfolded, it supports 4G / 5G, Mesh self-organizing network, LoRa low-power communication, and intercom relay, and provides temporary mobile coverage nodes when disaster causes normal communication interruption.
[0062] Unmanned aerial vehicle cooperation: the unmanned aerial vehicle ground control station is integrated in the vehicle, the link is enhanced by the vehicle-mounted communication antenna 4, remote control of the unmanned aerial vehicle and high-definition data backhaul are realized, the photovoltaic field inspection range is expanded (such as high-altitude monitoring of large-scale bird migration), and the bird repelling strategy optimization is assisted.
[0063] As shown in Figure 4 , the detection and control module 61: as the core control unit of the laser radar, on the one hand, receives the bird positioning data (including coordinates, distance, motion speed and other parameters) transmitted by the bird repelling execution module, and on the other hand, monitors the working state of the laser emission assembly (such as power output, temperature, light path stability) in real time. When abnormal working condition (such as power exceeding the standard, component overheating) is detected, the protection mechanism is triggered to cut off the laser emission, and at the same time, the fault information is fed back to the processor; in addition, the module can also dynamically adjust the laser emission power according to the distance of the birds (for example, output 5-10 mW power to the target within 10 meters, and increase to 10-20 mW to the target within 10-30 meters), to ensure effective repelling while avoiding energy waste.
[0064] Signal processing module 62: receives the bird contour features and motion trajectory data output by the AI vision camera 5, eliminates environmental interference (such as light and shadow changes, flying insects false touch) through filtering algorithm (such as Kalman filtering), extracts the real-time position coordinates of the birds and converts them into laser aiming parameters (azimuth angle, pitch angle). At the same time, the module can match the preset laser wavelength scheme (for example, 532 nm green laser for raptors, and 650 nm red laser for small birds) combined with the bird species information (provided by the bird repelling execution module), and transmit the processed control instructions to the laser emission and scanning module.
[0065] Laser emission and scanning module 63: contains a rotatable laser emitter and a beam shaping component, which adjusts the emission angle according to the instructions of the signal processing module, and realizes accurate aiming at the bird target. Its scanning range covers 120° horizontally and 60° vertically, with a response speed ≤0.3 seconds, and can track birds moving at a speed ≤10m / s; the diameter of the emitted laser beam is controlled within 5-10cm (adjustable dynamically with distance), and the visual interference effect is enhanced by intermittent flashing (frequency 3-5Hz), and the laser power is strictly limited to Class II safety level (≤5mW continuous output), ensuring no physical harm to birds and humans. When the AI vision camera (5) of the bird repelling execution module identifies and locates the bird target, the detection and control module 61 immediately activates the laser radar 6, and through the coordinated operation of the above three modules, a safe laser beam with specific wavelength and power is emitted to achieve directional repelling.
[0066] As shown in Figure 5 , the induction and triggering module 81: receives the bird intrusion signal of the AI vision camera 5 in real time, and when it detects that a bird enters the preset alert range (a circular area with a radius of 5-20 meters can be set by the processor), it immediately triggers the sound wave bird repelling process; at the same time, it integrates an environmental noise sensor, which automatically increases the sound wave output power (gain adjustment range 0-20dB) when the background noise ≥60dB, ensuring effective coverage; in addition, this module also has a false touch prevention function, which continuously identifies the bird's contour features (excluding interference such as fallen leaves and flying birds), with a trigger delay ≤0.5 seconds and a false trigger rate ≤1%.
[0067] Signal control and processing module 82: receives the bird species, quantity and aggregation density data output by the bird repelling execution module, and generates sound wave control parameters according to the preset strategy. For example, for a single small bird, a high-frequency warning sound (2-5kHz) is called; for a group of birds with more than 10, a composite sound wave mode (superimposed with the call of a natural enemy and a low-frequency oscillation wave) is started; at the same time, the sound wave directivity can be adjusted according to the distance of the birds (omnidirectional diffusion is used for close range, and a 30° fan-shaped beam is focused for long distance). This module can also control the stroboscopic frequency of the lighting lamp 7 (matched with the rhythm of the sound wave, 10-15Hz) and the volume of the loudspeaker (range 60-100dB) simultaneously, realizing sound and light cooperation.
[0068] Sound wave signal generation module 83: built-in audio database containing 50+ bird enemy call sounds (such as hawk scream, falcon cry), 20+ warning sounds (such as explosion, high-frequency pulse), can intelligently match according to bird species (for example, playing shrike call for sparrow, playing vulture call for crow); support custom sound wave combination (update through remote control center), and can simulate non-periodic sound wave sequence (avoid bird adaptation); the generated sound wave signal covers the full frequency band of 20Hz-20kHz, among which the high frequency band of 2-5kHz is used to interfere with bird hearing, and the low frequency band of 100-500Hz produces a slight vibration feeling to enhance the deterrent.
[0069] Sound wave emission module 84: composed of 4 distributed speakers (2 on each side of the vehicle body), covering a horizontal range of 180° and a vertical range of 30°, with an effective propagation distance of 20-50 meters; waterproof and dustproof design (IP65 protection level), suitable for working environment of-30℃ to 60℃; support dynamic adjustment of sound wave intensity (output according to bird distance classification), and have automatic attenuation function (when the bird leaves the warning range, gradually reduce to silence within 3 seconds). When the AI vision camera 5 detects that the bird enters the warning range, the sensing and triggering module 81 starts the sound wave generator 8, and outputs specific sound wave interference to the bird hearing through the cooperation of the above modules; at the same time, the signal control and processing module 82 synchronously activates the laser radar 6 (for long-distance targets), the lighting lamp 7 (at night or in low light environment) and the speaker (to enhance sound coverage), forming a multi-dimensional bird repelling synergy effect.
[0070] A specific embodiment (the parameter setting belongs to a preferred way, should not be understood as a technical limitation):

[0077] Bird repelling strategy execution:
[0078] If it is a bird sensitive to laser (e.g., small songbirds), trigger the laser radar 6 to emit a 532nm safe laser beam for directional repelling, with a response delay ≤0.5 seconds;
[0079] If it is a group of birds (e.g., pigeons), simultaneously start the sound wave generator 8 (play eagle calls + 18kHz ultrasonic waves), the loudspeaker (play deterrent sound effects in a loop), and the lighting lamp 7 (10-15Hz stroboscopic warning light), with a sound and light bird repelling cooperation rate ≥95%;
[0080] Based on the analysis of the gathering area, automatically adjust the wheel suspension 2 and motor drive to optimize the patrol route (e.g., move towards the bird gathering area with a deviation ≤±1 meter).
[0081] Data transmission and strategy optimization: The communication antenna 4 uploads the vehicle status (low power warning triggered when the remaining power is 30%) and bird repelling log (bird repelling mode, bird escape rate) to the remote monitoring center every 5 minutes; the operation and maintenance personnel adjust the next day's patrol period and bird repelling parameters (e.g., modify the sound wave frequency and laser power) based on the data.
[0082] (Three) Emergency scene application

[0084] Unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative patrol: After receiving the cooperative command from the remote control center, the vehicle-mounted ground control station is activated, the communication antenna 4 is enhanced to strengthen the link, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to take off (response delay ≤1 minute), and high-altitude images of the photovoltaic panel are returned (resolution ≥4K), which helps to identify large-area bird gathering or equipment damage, and expands the patrol range to areas that the bird repelling vehicle cannot reach (e.g., the deep part of the photovoltaic panel array).
[0085] (Four) Model iteration and equipment maintenance
[0086] Model self-updating: Collect new bird image data (≥1000 frames) every month, trigger the model retraining process, and optimize the recognition accuracy (target to improve to 98%); if a new bird species is identified (e.g., migratory birds passing by), manually annotate and supplement the training to adapt to ecological changes.
[0087] Hardware maintenance: check the cleanliness of the laser radar emitter head, the light transmittance of the camera protective glass every quarter; regularly clean the adsorption surface of the magnetic charging port to ensure the charging efficiency; monitor the charge and discharge cycle times of the battery pack, and replace it when the service life is less than 80% to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0088] The application provides a full-scene and intelligent bird repelling and operation and maintenance solution for a photovoltaic power station through intelligent identification, multi-element bird repelling and emergency cooperation, balances ecological protection and power generation efficiency improvement, and has remarkable practical value and popularization significance.

3. A solar photovoltaic panel bird-repelling vehicle according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that, Data collection and annotation methods using bird deterrence modules: Image acquisition: Using an AI vision camera (5) installed on a bird deterrent vehicle, image data of bird activities are continuously collected in the photovoltaic power station area at different times and under different weather conditions. During the acquisition process, various common birds and different bird postures and scenes are included. Data annotation: The collected images are manually annotated to mark the species and location of birds in the images; for continuously collected image sequences, the position changes of birds in different frames are annotated to form flight trajectory data; at the same time, based on the behavioral characteristics of birds, it is marked whether they are in the state of preparing to land. After the annotation is completed, the dataset is divided into training set, validation set and test set. Model training method using bird deterrence execution module: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Model Training: Using training set images and their labeled bird species information as input, the model parameters are continuously adjusted through backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent optimization algorithms to continuously improve the model's prediction accuracy for bird species. During training, a validation set is used to evaluate the CNN model to prevent overfitting. Based on the evaluation results, the model's hyperparameters, including the learning rate and the number of convolutional kernels, are adjusted. Once the model achieves satisfactory accuracy on the test set, the trained CNN model parameters are saved. Training Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Variant Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMNs): For bird activity pattern and behavioral intention analysis, labeled bird location change data and behavioral intention annotations are organized into data samples according to time series. For flight trajectory data, the coordinates of each bird in different frames are used as input features. For behavioral intention analysis, bird posture and speed characteristics are combined. These data samples are used to train RNN and Variant LSTMN models. Backpropagation and optimization algorithms are used to adjust model parameters, and a validation set is used for model evaluation and hyperparameter tuning. Finally, a RNN and Variant LSTMN model capable of accurately analyzing bird activity patterns and behavioral intentions is obtained. Real-time identification and analysis methods using bird deterrence execution modules: Image acquisition: During the patrol, the AI vision camera (5) of the bird deterrent vehicle collects images of the photovoltaic power station area in real time; Species recognition: The acquired images are input into a trained convolutional neural network model, which outputs information on the species and number of birds in the images. Activity pattern and behavioral intent analysis: For continuously acquired image sequences, the location information of birds in each frame is extracted to form time series data, which is then input into a trained recurrent neural network and variant long short-term memory network model to analyze the birds' flight trajectory, changes in gathering areas, and whether they are preparing to land. Methods for precise bird deterrence strategy selection and timing determination using bird deterrence execution modules: Strategy Selection: Select the appropriate bird deterrence method based on the identified bird species; if the birds are determined to be more sensitive to lasers, laser bird deterrence will be given priority; if the birds are in groups, sound waves and / or loudspeakers will be used to drive them away with sound and light; and adjust the patrol route of the bird deterrence vehicle in real time according to the area where the birds gather, focusing on driving away the birds from the areas where they gather. Timing judgment: When the deep learning model analyzes that birds are preparing to land, bird deterrence measures are initiated in advance to drive them away before they land on the photovoltaic panel area, thereby improving bird deterrence efficiency and reducing bird interference to the photovoltaic power station.
