[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Bird repellent device / bird repellent machine refers to a device that drives birds away from the defense area to eliminate bird damage and ensure safety. The inventor found that the traditional bird repellent device is suitable for manual installation work, which requires workers to climb poles to perform high-altitude live-line work. The high-altitude live-line workers climb to the cross arm of the pole, place the bird repellent device and tighten the top bolts of the bird repellent device with a wrench, which is labor-intensive and highly dangerous. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention provides a distribution network line bird-repelling device, method and working robot, which are suitable for use by live working robots. Combined with the flexible deformation of the elastic locking piece and the barbed tooth connecting piece, it is convenient for the live working robot to insert the distribution network line bird-repelling device into the crossarm mounting hole.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A first aspect of the present invention provides a bird-repelling device for a distribution network line.

[0007] A bird-repelling device for a distribution network line, comprising a bird-repelling device body and a connecting part;

[0008] The connecting part comprises a connecting rod, an elastic locking piece and a barbed tooth connecting piece; one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the main body of the bird-repelling device, and the other end of the connecting rod is sleeved with an elastic locking piece;

[0009] The elastic locking member is matched and clamped with the cross arm mounting hole of the overhead line;

[0010] The barb tooth connector is fixed on one end of the connecting rod close to the elastic locking piece and is engaged with the elastic locking piece to prevent the barb tooth connector and the elastic locking piece from moving in opposite directions.

[0011] As an embodiment, the elastic locking member includes an elastic deformation portion and a clamping portion, the elastic deformation portion enters the crossarm mounting hole through elastic contraction deformation, and the clamping portion is used to clamp the elastic locking member and the crossarm after the elastic deformation portion enters the crossarm mounting hole.

[0012] As an implementation mode, the elastic deformation portion includes an elastic barb tooth, a cross arm clamping lower end surface and a guide cone; the elastic barb tooth is arranged on the inner side of the guide cone, and the cross arm clamping lower end surface is a horizontal end surface protruding outwardly from the guide cone.

[0013] As an implementation manner, the clamping portion includes a clamping block and a cross arm clamping upper end surface, and the cross arm clamping upper end surface is the bottom surface of the clamping block.

[0014] As an implementation mode, the barbed tooth connecting piece is a columnar cone that is thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

[0015] As an embodiment, the outer surface of the barb tooth connecting piece is provided with barb teeth protruding outward.

[0016] As an embodiment, the barb tooth connector and the connecting rod are detachably connected.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for installing a bird-repelling device for a distribution network line.

[0018] A method for installing a bird-repelling device for a distribution network line, comprising:

[0019] Use the robot gripper to hold the bird repellent device for the distribution network line and insert it vertically into the crossarm mounting hole to ensure that the elastic locking piece is tightly locked with the crossarm mounting hole;

[0020] The robot claw is then used to lift the distribution network line bird repellent device upward by a set distance, so that the barbed tooth connector and the elastic locking part are engaged with each other, thereby completing the installation of the distribution network line bird repellent device.

[0021] As an implementation method, in the process of vertically inserting the distribution network line bird repellent device into the cross arm mounting hole:

[0022] The guide cone of the elastic locking piece first enters the crossarm mounting hole, and the crossarm mounting hole squeezes the guide cone to produce elastic contraction deformation. After the guide cone completely passes through the crossarm mounting hole, the guide cone returns to its state before deformation under the action of elastic force; at the same time, the crossarm clamping lower end face and the crossarm upper end face just clamp the upper and lower sides of the crossarm, ensuring that the elastic locking piece and the crossarm are firmly clamped.

[0023] As an implementation method, in the process of using a robot gripper to lift the bird repellent device of the distribution network line upward by a set distance:

[0024] After lifting the set distance, the outer tip of the rigid hook tooth of the hook tooth part will squeeze the outer inclined surface of the elastic barb tooth, causing the elastic barb tooth to deform elastically, and the outer tip of the elastic barb tooth will be pressed tightly against the outer inclined surface of the hook tooth by elastic force, so as to ensure that after the external force is removed, the elastic force can prevent the barb tooth connector from moving in the opposite direction.

[0025] A third aspect of the present invention provides a working robot.

[0026] A working robot comprises the above-mentioned bird-repelling device for distribution network lines.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) An innovative elastic locking technology for distribution network lines was proposed, and a distribution network line bird repellent device was developed. The crossarm is locked with an elastic locking piece, and the barb tooth connector ensures that the bird repellent device and the crossarm are tightly fitted together to prevent the barb tooth connector and the elastic locking piece from moving in opposite directions. This solves the problem that traditional bird repellent devices are suitable for manual installation operations, which are labor-intensive and dangerous. The live working robot can efficiently and quickly insert the bird repellent device into the crossarm installation hole, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the bird repellent device and reducing labor intensity.

[0029] (2) An innovative working robot was developed. The working robot uses its claws to clamp the bird-repellent device for the distribution network line and vertically inserts the bird-repellent device into the cross-arm mounting hole, ensuring that the elastic locking part is tightly locked in the cross-arm mounting hole. During the installation process, the robot claws are also used to lift the bird-repellent device for the distribution network line upward by a set distance, so that the barbed tooth connector and the elastic locking part are interlocked, completing the installation of the bird-repellent device for the distribution network line, thereby improving the installation efficiency and stability of the bird-repellent device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are all illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. 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 "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0044] This embodiment provides a distribution network line bird repellent device, which includes a bird repellent device body and a connecting part. The bird repellent device body is a wind cup structure, a bird repellent spike or a rotating windmill structure.

[0045] It should be noted here that, based on the above three structures, the main body of the bird-repelling device may be further equipped with additional devices such as speakers, lasers and ultrasound. Those skilled in the art may make specific settings according to actual conditions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The following is an example of a wind cup structure used in the main body of a bird repellent device:

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wind cup structure of the main body of the bird-repelling device includes a wind cup 11, a rotating arm 12, a top end cover 13 and a rotating bracket 14. A bearing is arranged inside the rotating bracket 14, and the bearing is tightly connected with a connecting rod 15.

[0048] It should be noted here that the wind cup 11, the rotating arm 12, the top end cover 13, the rotating bracket 14 and the bearing can all be realized by using existing structures.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting part includes a connecting rod 15, an elastic locking piece 16 and a barb tooth connecting piece 17; one end of the connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the bird-repelling device, and the other end of the connecting rod 15 is sleeved with an elastic locking piece 16; the elastic locking piece 16 is matched and snap-fitted with the crossarm mounting hole of the overhead line; the barb tooth connecting piece 17 is fixed on one end of the connecting rod 15 close to the elastic locking piece 16, and is interlocked with the elastic locking piece 16 to prevent the barb tooth connecting piece 17 and the elastic locking piece 16 from moving in opposite directions.

[0050] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic locking member 16 includes an elastic deformation portion 161 and a clamping portion 162. The elastic deformation portion 161 enters the crossarm mounting hole through elastic contraction deformation, and the clamping portion 162 is used to clamp the elastic locking member 16 and the crossarm after the elastic deformation portion 161 enters the crossarm mounting hole.

[0051] Specifically, the elastic deformation portion 161 includes an elastic barb tooth 1611, a cross arm clamping lower end surface 1612 and a guide cone 1613; the elastic barb tooth 1611 is arranged on the inner side of the guide cone 1613, and the cross arm clamping lower end surface 1612 is a horizontal end surface of the guide cone 1613 extending outward.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping portion 162 includes a clamping block 1621 and a cross arm clamping upper end surface 1622 , and the cross arm clamping upper end surface 1622 is the bottom surface of the clamping block 1621 .

[0053] When working, the guide cone 1613 of the elastic locking member 16 first enters the installation hole of the cross arm 3, and the installation hole of the cross arm squeezes the guide cone to produce elastic contraction deformation. After the guide cone 1613 completely passes through the installation hole of the cross arm, the guide cone 1613 returns to the state before deformation under the action of elastic force. At the same time, the cross arm clamping lower end face 1612 and the cross arm upper end face 1622 just clamp the upper and lower sides of the cross arm 3, ensuring that the elastic locking member 16 and the cross arm 3 are firmly clamped.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the barb tooth connecting member 17 includes a barb tooth 171 and a barb tooth rod body 172 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the barb rod body 172 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 15, such as by threaded connection.

[0056] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the barb rod body 172 and the connecting rod 15 may also be fixed in other connection methods or be an integrally formed structure.

[0057] Specifically, when the elastic locking member 16 has completely caught the cross arm 3, after the robot hand 2 lifts the bird-repelling device upwards for a certain distance, the rigid hook outer tip 1711 of the hook portion 171 will squeeze the outer inclined surface 16112 of the elastic barb 1611, causing the elastic barb to deform elastically, and the outer tip 16111 of the elastic barb 1611 will be pressed against the hook outer inclined surface 1712 by elastic force, ensuring that after the external force is removed, the elastic force can prevent the barb connector 17 from moving in the reverse direction. Since the barb connector 17 is a columnar cone with a thin top and a thick bottom, if the bird-repelling device continues to move upward, the barb connector 17 will further squeeze and tighten the elastic locking member 16 from the bottom, so that the elastic locking member 16 and the barb connector 17 are tightly stuck and cannot be dislodged in the reverse direction.

[0058] The distribution network line bird repellent device of this embodiment can be applied to 10kV distribution lines, and can prevent birds from damaging distribution lines and protect line safety.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 The installation method of the distribution network line bird repellent device of this embodiment has the following specific steps:

[0060] Step 1: Use the robot gripper to hold the bird repellent device for the distribution network line and insert it vertically into the crossarm mounting hole to ensure that the elastic locking piece is tightly locked with the crossarm mounting hole;

[0061] Specifically, when vertically inserting the distribution network line bird repellent device into the cross arm installation hole:

[0062] The guide cone of the elastic locking piece first enters the crossarm mounting hole, and the crossarm mounting hole squeezes the guide cone to produce elastic contraction deformation. After the guide cone completely passes through the crossarm mounting hole, the guide cone returns to its state before deformation under the action of elastic force; at the same time, the crossarm clamping lower end face and the crossarm upper end face just clamp the upper and lower sides of the crossarm, ensuring that the elastic locking piece and the crossarm are firmly clamped.

[0063] Step 2: Use the robot gripper to lift the distribution network line bird repellent device upward by a set distance, so that the barbed tooth connector and the elastic locking part are engaged with each other, and the installation of the distribution network line bird repellent device is completed.

[0064] Specifically, in the process of using the robot gripper to lift the bird repellent device of the distribution network line upward to a set distance:

[0065] After lifting the set distance, the outer tip of the rigid hook tooth of the hook tooth part will squeeze the outer inclined surface of the elastic barb tooth, causing the elastic barb tooth to deform elastically, and the outer tip of the elastic barb tooth will be pressed tightly against the outer inclined surface of the hook tooth by elastic force, so as to ensure that after the external force is removed, the elastic force can prevent the barb tooth connector from moving in the opposite direction.

[0066] The bird-repelling device of this embodiment is suitable for use with the claws of the live-line operation robot of the distribution network. The robot claw 2 clamps the bird-repelling device and is raised to the installation crossarm of the pole together with the arm of the insulated boom truck, and then finds the bird-repelling device installation hole on the crossarm through the robot's visual system. The robot claw 2 adjusts the spatial position and posture of the bird-repelling device 1, and vertically inserts it into the crossarm installation hole to ensure that the elastic locking member 16 is tightly locked with the crossarm installation hole, and then the robot claw 2 lifts the bird-repelling device 1 upward for a distance, so that the barb tooth connector 17 and the elastic locking member 16 are interlocked, and the installation of the bird-repelling device is completed.

[0067] This embodiment innovatively proposes an elastic locking type distribution network line bird repellent device, which solves the problem that traditional bird repellent devices are suitable for manual installation operations, have high labor intensity and high work risks. An elastic locking piece is used to lock the crossarm, and a barbed tooth connector ensures that the bird repellent device and the crossarm are tightly fitted, making it convenient for a live working robot to insert the bird repellent device into the crossarm mounting hole, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the bird repellent device and reducing labor intensity.

[0068] In one or more embodiments, a working robot is also provided, which includes the distribution network line bird repelling device as described above.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
