Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bird deterrence devices for high-voltage iron towers, and in particular to a bird deterrence station. Background Technology

[0002] Bird deterrent devices are primarily used to prevent birds from landing on high-voltage power transmission towers and causing damage to the transmission lines. The towers used for power transmission lines are typically made of iron crossarms with their flat surfaces facing upwards. Birds utilize this favorable surface to build nests. Most existing bird deterrents are either spiked or wind-powered. Spiked deterrents consist of a base and a bundle of spikes. The spike bundle is mounted on the base, which is then fixed to the crossarm of the tower. The spike bundle is composed of multiple steel wires with a dispersed upper section, thus preventing birds from landing and achieving a bird deterrent effect. Wind-powered bird deterrents rely on wind power to rotate and drive away birds.

[0003] The inventors discovered that the maximum rotation diameter of a wind-powered bird deterrent cannot exceed 40cm, and its total height cannot exceed 30cm. This is because there are strict requirements for the safe distance between high-voltage power lines. Installing wind-powered bird deterrents or bird spikes between high-voltage power lines can easily lead to insufficient safe distance, and bird droppings can easily accumulate on the spikes. Furthermore, to ensure the safe distance between power lines, the diameter of the wind-powered bird deterrent and bird spikes cannot be made too large, otherwise the bird deterrent effect will be ineffective, and small birds will nest around the deterrent, failing to effectively prevent birds from nesting or resting in dangerous areas of power line towers, easily leading to bird-related accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bird deterrent station. A motor drives an impeller to rotate reciprocally, and a lever connecting the two impellers removes tree branches. The lever swings back and forth, driving away small birds that approach the bird deterrent station. There is no need to install scattering bird spikes, and the entire device is small in size and meets the safety distance requirements for power lines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A bird deterrent device includes a base with solar panels on both sides and impellers at both ends. The two impellers are connected by a drive shaft. A controller is installed inside the base, which is connected to the solar panels and a motor. The motor is connected to the drive shaft via a drive rod. The motor drives the impellers to rotate reciprocally. A lever is connected between the two impellers to knock off tree branches.

[0007] As a further implementation, the base includes two side plates and a bottom plate, with one side of the two side plates connected to the bottom plate and the other side abutting to form an intersecting triangular apex.

[0008] As a further implementation, the solar panel is fixed to two side plates.

[0009] As a further implementation, at least one actuating link is provided, and both ends of the actuating link are fixedly connected to the end of the impeller.

[0010] As a further implementation, the base plate is provided with multiple magnets for adhering to the crossarm;

[0011] Alternatively, the base plate may have multiple threaded holes for fixing to the crossarm with screws.

[0012] As a further implementation, the drive shaft is arranged along the axial direction of the base and passes through the base to connect two impellers, driving the two impellers to rotate synchronously.

[0013] As a further implementation, the bottom of the two side plates are connected by a support plate, which is located at both ends of the side plates, and the bottom plate is fixedly connected to the support plate at both ends.

[0014] As a further implementation, a controller is installed on one of the support plates, a motor is connected to one side of the controller, a first transmission rod is sleeved on the transmission shaft, the first transmission rod is set perpendicular to the transmission shaft, a through groove is provided on the body of the first transmission rod, the output end of the motor is connected to a second transmission rod, a fixed column is provided at the end of the second transmission rod, the fixed column passes through the through groove, the length of the first transmission rod is less than the length of the second transmission rod, and the rotation of the second transmission rod realizes the reciprocating motion of the fixed column in the through groove.

[0015] As a further implementation, the controller is connected to the solar panel via wires, and a piezoelectric switch is installed at the connection point of the two side panels, with the piezoelectric switch connected to the controller.

[0016] As a further implementation, the controller is equipped with a time controller for rotating the lever at regular intervals; the base is made of insulating material and coated with reflective material on the outside.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention uses a motor to drive the impeller to rotate back and forth. A lever is connected between the two impellers to remove tree branches. The lever swings back and forth, which can drive away small birds that approach the bird deterrent station. There is no need to set up bird spikes. The whole device is small in size and can meet the safety distance requirements of the line.

[0019] 2. In this invention, one side of the two side plates is connected to the bottom plate, and the other side is joined together to form a triangular apex, which is not conducive to birds placing branches to build nests. The lever is located above the triangular apex, further preventing birds from getting close.

[0030] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 1-4As shown, a bird deterrent device includes a base 1, with impellers 3 on both sides of the base 1. The two impellers 3 are connected by a drive shaft 9, which is positioned inside the base 1 along the axial direction of the base 1. A controller 13 is installed inside the base 1, which is connected to a solar panel 2 and a motor 12. The motor 12 is connected to the drive shaft 9 via a drive rod. The motor 12 drives the impellers 3 to rotate reciprocally. A lever 4 is connected between the two impellers 3 to remove tree branches.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the base 1 includes two side plates and a bottom plate. The bottom of the two side plates are connected by a support plate 8, which connects the two ends of the two side plates. One side of each side plate is connected to the support plate 8, and the other side is joined together to form a triangular apex. One side of each side plate is also connected to the bottom plate. The support plate 8 facilitates the connection of the two side plates and further facilitates the fixed connection of the two ends of the bottom plate to the support plate 8. The connection between the two side plates and the bottom plate forms a triangular prism structure.

[0034] The base plate is used to connect with the crossarm plane of the high-voltage tower. Therefore, the two side plates are located above the base plate. The two side plates meet to form a triangular apex. The triangular apex reduces the number of support points and the support area, which is not conducive to birds placing branches to build nests.

[0035] In a preferred example, the closed triangular openings formed at both ends of the base plate and the side plates are sealed by a sealing plate. The sealing plate has a triangular structure, through which the drive shaft 9 passes, and a bearing is installed between the drive shaft 9 and the sealing plate to achieve a rotatable connection. This prevents debris such as branches and leaves from entering the base 1 and affecting the rotation of the drive shaft 9.

[0036] It is understandable that if no sealing plate is provided, the drive shaft 9 can be rotatably connected to a fixed plate fixed to the inside of the side plate, and the fixed plate is used to support the drive shaft 9. In this embodiment, a sealing plate is preferably provided.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, solar panels 2 are installed on both sides of the base 1. Specifically, the solar panels 2 are fixed to the two side panels through mounting holes 15 on the side panels. Since the two side panels are set at a set angle, in this embodiment, a solar panel 2 is installed on each side panel. The installation direction is arbitrary. As long as sunlight shines on one of the solar panels 2, the control circuit can be powered.

[0038] Base 1 is used for fixed engagement with the crossarm plane on the high-voltage tower, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the base plate is provided with multiple magnets 6 for adsorbing onto the crossarm. In this embodiment, there are four magnets 6, arranged in pairs, with each pair located near the end of the base plate.

[0039] Of course, multiple threaded holes can also be provided on the base plate for fixing to the crossbeam with screws. This embodiment provides four threaded holes, arranged in pairs, with each pair located near the end of the base plate.

[0040] In actual installation, the bird deterrent station can be attached to the crossarm using magnet 6, or it can be fixed to the crossarm using screws 7. The method of fixing with magnet 6 is preferred.

[0041] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is an internal structural diagram of the bird deterrent station. Figure 4 Taking the view direction as an example, a controller 13 is installed on the support plate 8 on the left. A motor 12 is connected to one side of the controller 13. The controller 13 is connected to the solar panel 2 via a wire 14, and the solar panel 2 is used to supply power. The controller 13 is connected to the motor 12 to control the operation of the motor 12.

[0042] The drive shaft 9 is set along the length of the base 1. The drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the sealing plate. The drive shaft 9 and the support plate 8 have a set distance to ensure the installation space of the controller 13 and the motor.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a first transmission rod 10 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 9. The first transmission rod 10 is perpendicular to the transmission shaft 9 and fixedly installed. The body of the first transmission rod 10 is provided with a through groove, which is set along the length direction of the first transmission rod 10. The motor output end is connected to a second transmission rod 11, which is perpendicular to the motor output end. A fixing post is provided at the end of the second transmission rod 11, which passes through the through groove and cooperates with the through groove. The length of the first transmission rod 10 is less than the length of the second transmission rod 11.

[0044] When the motor output rotates, it drives the second transmission rod 11 to rotate. Since the second transmission rod 11 cooperates with the first transmission rod 10, and the second transmission rod 11 cooperates with the first transmission rod 10 through the fixed column, and since the length of the first transmission rod 10 is less than the length of the second transmission rod 11, the second transmission rod 11 makes a complete circular motion through the motor, while the fixed column moves back and forth in the through groove, and the first transmission rod 10 swings back and forth between the two side plates that are at a set angle, thereby realizing that the first transmission rod 10 drives the impeller to swing back and forth through the transmission shaft 9.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the edges of the two impellers 3 are connected by a lever 4. The drive shaft 9 is set along the axial direction of the base and passes through the base to connect the two impellers 3, driving the two impellers 3 to rotate synchronously. The reciprocating oscillation of the impellers 3 drives the lever 4 to reciprocate. At least one lever 4 is provided, and in this embodiment, there is one lever. The two ends of the lever 4 are fixedly connected to the edges of the impellers 3.

[0046] The swing range of the lever 4 is located above the apex of the triangle formed by the two side plates and the base plate. The swing of the lever 4 and the rotation of the impeller 3 can both drive away birds. The lever 4 can also prevent birds from landing on the base. If birds place branches on the base 1 to build nests, the reciprocating swing of the lever 4 can also knock the branches away.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer side of the base 1 is coated with reflective material, such as reflective cloth, which can reflect light so that birds will be frightened and dare not approach to build nests; the base 1, impeller 3 and actuating linkage 4 are made of insulating material.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, a piezoelectric switch 5 is installed at the connection point of the two side panels, and the piezoelectric switch 5 is connected to a controller 13. The controller 13 contains a timer controller for periodically rotating the lever 4. When a bird approaches the bird deterrent station, triggering the piezoelectric switch 5, the controller 13 controls the motor 12 to operate, causing the lever 4 to swing and thus drive away the bird. The timer controller can be set to periodically control the lever 4 to move back and forth, removing branches.

[0049] During installation, if the protective iron crossarm is long, multiple bird deterrent stations can be combined and installed at intervals. The overall size of the device is small and can meet the safety distance requirements of the line.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
