Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power supply, and in particular to an anti-climbing device for electric poles. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of power grids and the increasing needs of the people, power distribution lines have extended to every corner of cities and rural areas. They are also gradually appearing in sparsely populated rural areas, remote areas, and forested areas. Electric poles are one of the key infrastructure of power distribution lines, supporting the safe operation of distribution lines at high altitudes.

[0003] However, in actual applications in the above-mentioned areas, small animals (such as squirrels) often climb up to the top of the poles along the pole body, causing distribution line failures and affecting the safe operation of the power grid. In response to the above situation, this application proposes an anti-climbing device to prevent small animals from climbing to the top of the poles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that small animals often climb to the top of electric poles and affect the safe operation of the power grid, the present invention provides an electric pole anti-climbing device to solve the above technical problem.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] The present invention provides an anti-climbing device for an electric pole for a distribution line, comprising: an umbrella structure module, the umbrella structure module being arranged in the middle section of the electric pole, the umbrella structure module comprising an umbrella canopy arranged on the pole body, umbrella ribs cooperating with the umbrella canopy, and an umbrella nest main body for opening the umbrella canopy and slidably cooperating with the pole body in a vertical direction; a driving module, the driving module being arranged on the pole body, the driving module comprising a driving assembly for driving the umbrella nest main body to slide on the pole body and a control chip for controlling the start and stop of the driving assembly; a trigger module, the trigger module comprising an electrode ring surrounding the pole body, the electrode ring being electrically connected to the control chip.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes: a rack, which is fixedly connected to the umbrella nest body and slidably engaged on the pole body in the vertical direction; a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the pole body, and a drive gear meshing with the rack is provided on the drive shaft of the drive motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the rack is engaged with the pole body via a slide rail, and the slide rail is vertically arranged on the outer wall of the pole body.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided at one end of the slide rail close to the ground to prevent the rack from falling.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving motor protrudes beyond the rack in the radial direction of the pole body, and when the umbrella is folded, the lower edge of the umbrella just abuts against the housing of the driving motor.

[0011] Furthermore, the electrode ring is provided with a yielding portion at the slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the umbrella nest main body is fitted on the pole body via a sliding sleeve, and the sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the pole body.

[0013] Furthermore, steps for limiting position are provided at both ends of the sliding sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, a battery is configured on the control chip.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a power supply module, which includes a solar panel arranged on the pole body of the pole, and the solar panel is used to charge the battery.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that can be achieved by the present invention are:

[0017] The utility pole anti-climbing device of the present invention features an umbrella module installed on the pole, preferably in the middle section. When a small animal (such as a squirrel) climbs up the pole and reaches the electrode ring of the trigger module, the control chip of the drive module receives a signal and activates the drive assembly. This activation drives the main body of the umbrella module, thereby expanding the umbrella. Typically, the instant the umbrella opens, the squirrel will be startled and run away. Even if the squirrel doesn't run away, the expanded umbrella prevents it from continuing to climb. This solves the existing technical problem of small animals frequently climbing to the top of the pole, impacting the safe operation of the power grid. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0026] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as “on…”, “above…”, “on the upper surface of…”, “above”, etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, the device described as “above other devices or structures” or “on top of other devices or structures” will be subsequently positioned as “below other devices or structures” or “below other devices or structures”. Thus, the exemplary term “above…” may include both the orientations of “above…” and “below…”.

[0027] During the operation of the power grid, small animals (such as squirrels) often climb along the poles to the high-voltage wires on the top of the poles and are electrocuted to death, causing power grid failures and affecting the safe operation of the power grid.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides an anti-climbing device for electric poles of distribution lines, comprising an umbrella structure module 1, a driving module 2 and a trigger module 3. The umbrella structure module 1 comprises an umbrella canopy 11 arranged on the pole body, umbrella ribs 12 cooperating with the umbrella canopy 11, and an umbrella nest body 13 for opening the umbrella canopy 11 and slidingly cooperating with the pole body in the vertical direction. The driving module 2 is arranged on the pole body, and the driving module 2 comprises a driving assembly 21 for driving the umbrella nest body 13 to slide on the pole body and a control chip 22 for controlling the start and stop of the driving assembly 21. The trigger module 3 comprises an electrode ring 31 surrounding the pole body, and the electrode ring 31 is electrically connected to the control chip 22.

[0029] The anti-climbing device for electric poles of the present invention is provided with an umbrella structure module 1 on the electric pole, and the umbrella structure module 1 is preferably arranged in the middle section of the electric pole. When a small animal, here taking a small squirrel as an example, climbs up along the electric pole to the electrode ring 31 of the trigger module 3, the front paws and hind paws of the small squirrel respectively step on different electrodes of the electrode ring 31, and the weak current uses the body of the small squirrel as a conductor to form a closed loop. The control chip 22 of the driving module 2 will receive a signal and start the driving component 21. After the driving component 21 is started, it drives the umbrella nest main body 13 of the umbrella structure module 1 to move, thereby opening the umbrella surface 11. The small squirrel will be frightened and run away at the moment the umbrella surface 11 is opened. Even if it does not run away, the opened umbrella surface 11 blocks the small squirrel's path, making it impossible for the small squirrel to continue climbing up, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that small animals often climb to the top of the electric pole, causing power grid line failure and affecting the safe operation of the power grid.

[0030] In order to make the umbrella nest main body 13 better slide and fit on the pole body in the vertical direction, the umbrella nest main body 13 is fitted on the pole body through a sliding sleeve 14, and the sliding sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the pole body. Specifically, since the pole body is a thicker structure at the bottom and thinner at the top, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 14 is adapted to the shape of the pole body to ensure that the umbrella nest main body 13 fitted on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14 moves in the vertical direction. At the same time, the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14 is a smooth wall surface to ensure that the movement of the umbrella nest main body 13 is not stuck.

[0031] Furthermore, steps 141 for limiting the range of movement of the umbrella nest body 13 are provided at both ends of the sliding sleeve 14 .

[0032] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly 21 of the driving module 2 includes a rack 211 and a driving motor 212. The rack 211 is fixedly connected to the umbrella nest body 13 and slidingly engaged on the pole body. The driving motor 212 is fixedly connected to the pole body, and a driving gear 213 that meshes with the rack 211 is provided on the driving shaft of the driving motor 212.

[0033] Furthermore, the rack 211 is fitted on the pole body via a slide rail 214 , and the slide rail 214 is vertically arranged on the outer wall of the pole body.

[0034] Furthermore, a limit block 215 is provided at one end of the slide rail 214 close to the ground to prevent the rack 211 from falling. In a preferred solution of this embodiment, when the rack 211 falls to the limit block 215, the umbrella nest body 13 also moves to the step 141 at the lower end of the sliding sleeve 14.

[0035] In order to protect the umbrella 11 , the drive motor 212 protrudes from the rack 211 in the radial direction of the pole body. When the umbrella 11 is folded, the lower edge of the umbrella 11 just abuts against the housing of the drive motor 212 to avoid direct contact with the rack 211 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the electrode ring 31 is provided with a clearance portion 311 at the slide rail 214 to form a clearance space for the slide rail 214 and the rack 211 to pass through. Specifically, the clearance portion 311 can be an arch bridge structure that is hollowed in the radial direction.

[0037] In order to ensure that the driving component 21 can enter the working state at any time, the control chip 22 is equipped with a battery.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a power supply module 4, which includes a solar panel 41 arranged on the pole body, and the solar panel 41 is used to charge the battery.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are two electrode rings 31, one positive and one negative. The two electrode rings 31 are arranged with a certain width in the vertical direction. In this way, when the squirrel climbs up, its front and hind feet just touch two different electrode rings 31 at the same time.

[0040] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the climbing of the staff, the vertical distance occupied by the umbrella cover 11 and the slide rail 214 of the anti-climbing device of the present invention in the vertical direction is slightly smaller than the climbing step distance of an operator, and is equipped with an additional remote control, by which the umbrella cover 11 can be placed in a folded state.

[0041] It should be added that, in the driving module 2, the driving motor 212 is preferably a servo motor. The servo motor is divided into two control modes according to different feedback information. In the mode in which the feedback amount is a linear distance, the servo motor is selected as a servo motor with a position sensor. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the rack 211 in the vertical direction. When the rack 211 moves to the point where the umbrella surface 11 is opened, the servo motor remains powered but does not rotate for a period of time to keep the umbrella surface 11 opened, and then the servo motor reverses to move the rack 211 downward until the umbrella surface 11 is closed; in the mode in which the feedback amount is a linear distance, the servo motor is selected as a servo motor with a position sensor. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the rack 211 in the vertical direction. When the rack 211 moves to the point where the umbrella surface 11 is opened, the servo motor remains powered but does not rotate for a period of time to keep the umbrella surface 11 opened, and then the servo motor reverses to move the rack 211 downward until the umbrella surface 11 is closed; In the rotation number method, the number of revolutions of the output shaft of the servo motor is set to a fixed value. This method requires a rack 211 that can fall freely when no power is supplied, such as a metal rack 211 or a rack 211 with a plastic body and a counterweight at the lower end. Specifically, the output shaft of the servo motor first rotates a fixed number of revolutions to open the umbrella cover 11, and then the servo motor remains powered but not rotating for a period of time to keep the umbrella cover 11 in the open state. Then the servo motor loses power, and the driving gear 213 connected to the output shaft cannot be maintained, and the rack 211 pushes the driving gear 213 in the reverse direction and freely falls to the lower limit position.

[0042] The working principle of the anti-climbing device of the present invention is as follows: when there is a small animal on the electrode ring 31, the control chip 22 receives the signal transmitted by the electrode ring 31, and the control chip 22 turns on the drive motor 212 to open the umbrella surface 11 to prompt the small animal to leave. The umbrella surface 11 then remains in the open state for a period of time to ensure that the small animal cannot continue to climb, and then the umbrella surface 11 is folded to complete a signal action.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
