The great economic development has driven the great development of industry, urbanization, and the upgrading of public welfare, national defense and other projects. All of these require sufficient power resources to ensure. Therefore, in recent years, high-voltage transmission lines of various levels have sprung up all over the country. The original military and civil airports and flight areas, including the newly added military and civil airports and flight areas in recent years, have added many artificial obstacles. In particular, the transmission lines usually stretch for dozens, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, which often need to fly at low altitudes and at night. There are a lot of interference and influence. Under such a background environment, how to improve the safety of aerospace flight has attracted more and more attention from relevant departments.

[0003] Economic development requires construction, and these new constructions cannot be cancelled. The internationally accepted method, which is also the standard requirement implemented by domestic civil aviation agencies, is to equip obstacles with markers to identify them. For example, red and white or orange and white obstacle balls are placed at certain intervals on the wires and cables of overhead power transmission lines to indicate the existence of obstacles.

[0004] The obstacle ball of the prior art is composed of two semicircular balls assembled on the transmission line, fixed and immovable, mainly works during the day, and the visual distance is very short. It does not work when visibility is low and at night. Summary of the invention
