A bird deterrent device for orchards containing a camera and its usage method

Abstract

This invention provides a bird repeller for orchards containing a camera and its usage method, relating to the field of bird repeller technology. After a person remotely identifies and judges the situation in the orchard through the camera, a light ring installed at the front end of the collector can be selectively turned on to generate a beam of light to irradiate and repel birds. When the light ring is irradiating, an electromagnetic plate installed on the outside of the guide post can be simultaneously energized, attracting a magnetic block and causing the connecting post to rotate around the mounting plate for a wider range of irradiation and repulsion. When the electromagnetic plate is de-energized, the connecting post will automatically reset under the tension of the torsion spring, thereby achieving a better bird-repelling effect.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with application number 202211026772.3, filed on August 25, 2022, and the invention title at the time of application was "A bird repeller for orchards". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of bird deterrent technology, and in particular to a bird deterrent device for orchards containing a camera and its method of use. Background Technology

[0003] An orchard is a plot of land where fruit trees are planted. When fruit trees are planted in an orchard, birds will be attracted from the surrounding area and may damage the fruit. Therefore, bird deterrents are needed to drive away the birds and ensure the normal production of the orchard.

[0004] Existing bird deterrents have the following problems in practical applications:

[0005] 1. Existing bird deterrents are mostly installed directly inside the orchard and use corresponding sound and light alarms to drive away birds in the surrounding area. However, due to the limited height during assembly, they cannot be adapted to fruit trees of different heights to drive away birds, thus having limitations.

[0006] 2. While existing bird repellers can repel birds by emitting odors that irritate them, their effectiveness is limited due to the small coverage area of ​​the odors, which can hinder their ability to effectively repel birds.

[0007] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a bird deterrent for orchards. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention provides a bird repeller with a camera for orchards and its usage method. It solves the problem that existing bird repellers are mostly installed directly inside the orchard and use corresponding sound and light alarms to drive away birds in the surrounding area. However, due to the limited height during assembly, they cannot be adapted to fruit trees of different heights to drive away birds, thus having limitations.

[0009] This invention provides a bird deterrent device for orchards containing a camera, specifically comprising: a base and a mounting base. The main body of the base is rectangular, and two legs are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base. The two legs are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom end face of the base, respectively. A through groove is opened in the center of the base. A motor is installed on the left side of the base, and a drive shaft is installed on the right side of the motor. Mounting plates are fixedly connected in a circular array on the outer circumference of the mounting base. Each pair of adjacent mounting plates forms a group, and a connecting column is installed on the inner side of each group of mounting plates. A current collector is installed on the side of the connecting column away from the mounting base, and a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the current collector.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is used to supply water to the water tank, and a bracket is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. The bracket is inclined and there are two brackets. A guide is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two brackets. The guide is a ring structure and is connected to the water tank through a hose.

[0011] Furthermore, the base and the support legs together form a load-bearing structure for the motor, and a roller is installed inside the through groove in the base. The transmission shaft installed on the right side of the motor is connected to the roller, and the motor is used to drive the roller to rotate. A water tank is installed on the top surface of the base, and a connecting pipe is installed on the top of the water tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the traction rope furthest from the roller is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a guide post is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame. An electromagnetic plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the guide post, and cameras are arranged in a circular array on the bottom surface of the electromagnetic plate. The cameras are used to capture images.

[0013] Furthermore, a helium balloon is installed at the top of the guide post, and a mounting base is installed on the outside of the guide post. The pump pipe A is connected to the guide post, and air ducts are arranged in a ring array on the outside of the mounting base. The pump pipe A is connected to the air ducts through the guide post. The pump pipe A is in a sound-emitting state when airflow passes through the air ducts.

[0014] Furthermore, a material box is installed on the top surface of the base, a cover plate is installed on the top of the material box, the inside of the material box is filled with powdered bird deterrent material, and a pump pipe B is installed at the front end of the material box, and a traction rope is wound around the outside of the roller.

[0015] Furthermore, when the electromagnetic plate is energized and generates magnetism, the magnetic block is attracted to the electromagnetic plate. A lamp ring is installed at the front end of the current collector, and the front end of the current collector has spray holes arranged in a ring array. The spray holes are connected to the material box through pump pipe B. The current collector, lamp ring, and spray holes together form a bird-repelling structure.

[0016] Furthermore, a water pump is installed inside the water tank, and spray holes are arranged in a ring array inside the guide frame for atomizing and spraying water. A pump is installed on the top surface of the base for supplying air, and a pump pipe A is installed on the rear side of the pump.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When the device is no longer in use and needs to be recycled, the motor installed on the outside of the base can be started to drive the rollers to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the rollers will then wind up the traction rope, thus synchronously moving the guide column downwards until it reaches the inner position of the guide frame. Then, the water tank installed at the top of the base will be started to supply liquid to the spray holes opened in the guide frame. The water mist will be used to automatically clean the recycled guide column and the equipment installed on its outside, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.

[0019] 2. After the orchard is remotely identified and assessed by a camera, the light ring installed at the front of the collector can be selectively activated to generate a beam of light to irradiate and repel birds. When the light ring is irradiating, the electromagnetic plate installed on the outside of the guide post can be energized simultaneously to attract the magnetic block, causing the connecting post to rotate around the mounting plate for a wider range of irradiation and repulsion. When the electromagnetic plate is de-energized, the connecting post will automatically reset under the tension of the torsion spring, thus achieving a better bird-repelling effect.

[0020] 3. When it is necessary to use odor to repel birds, the pump installed in the pump pipe B on the outside of the material box can be activated simultaneously when the mounting base floats above the fruit tree by the buoyancy generated by the helium balloon. This pump will draw the corresponding bird-repelling powder from inside the material box and automatically spray the vaporized powder through the spray hole opened in the collector seat. Since the spray hole floats in the air supported by the collector seat, a wider coverage area can be achieved to increase the bird-repelling effect, thus achieving a more practical purpose.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0035] Example:

[0036] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:

[0037] This invention provides a bird deterrent for orchards, comprising: a base 1 and a mounting base 20. The main body of the base 1 is rectangular, and two legs 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base 1. The two legs 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom end face of the base 1. A through groove is opened in the center of the interior of the base 1. A motor 3 is installed on the left side of the base 1, and a drive shaft is installed on the right side of the motor 3. Mounting plates 22 are fixedly connected in a circular array on the outer circumference of the mounting base 20, wherein every two adjacent mounting plates 22 form a group, and each group of mounting plates 22 A connecting column 23 is also installed on the inner side of the 2. A collector seat 24 is installed on the side of the connecting column 23 away from the mounting base 20. A magnetic block 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the collector seat 24. When the electromagnetic plate 17 is energized and generates magnetism, the magnetic block 25 is attracted to the electromagnetic plate 17. A lamp ring 26 is installed at the front end of the collector seat 24. The front end of the collector seat 24 has spray holes 27 in a ring array. The spray holes 27 are connected to the material box 13 through the pump pipe B14. The collector seat 24, the lamp ring 26 and the spray holes 27 together form a bird-repelling structure.

[0038] The base 1 and the support legs 2 together form the load-bearing structure for the motor 3. A roller 4 is installed inside the through groove in the base 1. The drive shaft mounted on the right side of the motor 3 is connected to the roller 4, and the motor 3 drives the roller 4 to rotate. A water tank 5 is mounted on the top surface of the base 1, and a connecting pipe 6 is mounted on the top of the water tank 5 for supplying water to the tank. A bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. The bracket 7 is inclined, and there are two brackets 7. A guide frame 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of both brackets 7. The guide frame 8 has a ring structure and is connected to the water tank via a flexible hose. The system is connected in phase 5. When it is necessary to use odor to repel birds, when the mounting base 20 floats above the fruit tree by the buoyancy generated by the helium balloon 19, the pump body installed in the pump pipe B14 on the outside of the material box 13 can be activated simultaneously to draw the corresponding bird-repelling powder from inside the material box 13 and automatically spray the vaporized powder through the spray hole 27 opened in the collector seat 24. Since the spray hole 27 floats in the air under the support of the collector seat 24, a wider coverage area can be achieved to increase the bird-repelling effect, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.

[0039] The water tank 5 contains a water pump, and the guide frame 8 has a ring-shaped array of spray holes 9 for atomizing and spraying water. A pump 11 is mounted on the top surface of the base 1 for supplying air, and a pump pipe A12 is installed at the rear of the pump 11. A material box 13 is mounted on the top surface of the base 1, with a cover plate on top. The material box 13 is filled with powdered bird deterrent material, and a pump pipe B14 is installed at the front end of the material box 13. A traction rope 10 is wound around the outside of the roller 4. The orchard can be monitored remotely via a camera 18. After identifying and judging the situation, the light ring 26 installed at the front end of the current collector 24 can be selectively turned on to generate a beam of light to irradiate and repel birds. When the light ring 26 is irradiating, the electromagnetic plate 17 installed on the outside of the guide post 16 can be energized simultaneously to attract the magnetic block 25, thereby driving the connecting post 23 to rotate around the mounting plate 22 for a wider range of irradiation and repulsion. When the electromagnetic plate 17 is de-energized, the connecting post 23 will automatically reset under the tension of the torsion spring, thereby achieving a better bird repulsion effect.

[0040] The traction rope 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 15 on the side furthest from the roller 4. A guide post 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 15, and an electromagnetic plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the guide post 16. Cameras 18 are arranged in a circular array on the bottom surface of the electromagnetic plate 17 for capturing images. A helium balloon 19 is mounted on the top of the guide post 16, and a mounting base 20 is mounted on the outer side of the guide post 16. A pump pipe A12 is connected to the guide post 16. An air duct 21 is arranged in a circular array on the outer side of the mounting base 20. The pump pipe A12 is connected to the air duct 21 via the guide post 16. When there is airflow, the device emits sound. When the device is finished and needs to be recycled, the motor 3 installed on the outside of the base 1 can be started to drive the roller 4 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the roller 4 will then wind up the traction rope 10, thus synchronously driving the guide column 16 downward until it moves to the inner position of the guide frame 8. Then, the water tank 5 installed at the top of the base 1 will be started to supply liquid to the spray hole 9 opened in the guide frame 8, so as to use water mist to perform an active cleaning operation on the recycled guide column 16 and the equipment installed on its outside, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.

[0041] When in use: First, when planting fruit trees in the orchard, if it is necessary to chase birds, the base 1 can be placed on the ground of the orchard using the support legs 2 fixedly connected to its bottom end. Then, the motor 3 installed on the left side of the base 1 is started to drive the rollers 4 installed in the base 1 to rotate according to the different heights of the fruit trees.

[0042] When the roller 4 rotates, the traction rope 10 wrapped around the outside of the roller 4 can be released simultaneously. When the traction rope 10 is released, since a helium balloon 19 is installed at the top of the guide post 16, the guide post 16 will also be lifted and floated by the buoyancy generated by the helium balloon 19 until it can cover more fruit trees.

[0043] Then, by starting the pump 11 installed at the top of the base 1, air can be supplied to the air duct 21 installed on the outside of the mounting base 20 through the pump pipe A12 installed on its rear side. When there is airflow inside the air duct 21, the air duct 21 will generate sound simultaneously to drive away birds in the orchard, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.

[0044] When the device is no longer in use and needs to be recycled, the motor 3 installed on the outside of the base 1 can be started to drive the roller 4 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the roller 4 will then wind up the traction rope 10 to synchronously drive the guide column 16 downward until it moves to the inner position of the guide frame 8. Then, the water tank 5 installed at the top of the base 1 will be started to supply liquid to the spray hole 9 opened in the guide frame 8 to use water mist to perform an active cleaning operation on the recycled guide column 16 and the equipment installed on its outside, thereby achieving a more practical purpose.

[0045] When the guide post 16 floats above the fruit tree, the camera 18 set at the bottom of the electromagnetic plate 17 can record the situation in the orchard in real time, allowing ground personnel to intuitively identify and judge the situation of birds on the fruit tree, thereby assisting in the purpose of repelling birds. After the situation in the orchard is identified and judged remotely by the camera 18, the light ring 26 installed at the front end of the current collector 24 can be selectively turned on to generate a beam of light to repel birds. When the light ring 26 is illuminating, the electromagnetic plate 17 installed on the outside of the guide post 16 can be energized simultaneously, attracting the magnetic block 25 and causing the connecting post 23 to rotate around the mounting plate 22 for a wider range of irradiation and repulsion. When the electromagnetic plate 17 is de-energized, the connecting post 23 will automatically reset under the tension of the torsion spring, thereby achieving a better effect in repelling birds.

[0046] When it is necessary to use scent to repel birds, the pump installed in the pump pipe B14 on the outside of the material box 13 can be activated simultaneously when the mounting base 20 floats above the fruit tree by the buoyancy generated by the helium balloon 19. This pump draws the corresponding bird-repelling powder from inside the material box 13 and automatically sprays the vaporized powder through the spray hole 27 opened in the collector seat 24. Since the spray hole 27 floats in the air supported by the collector seat 24, a wider coverage area can be achieved to increase the bird-repelling effect, thus achieving a more practical purpose.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical application of the invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and to design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
