Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of iron tower maintenance equipment, in particular to a bird repelling device for iron tower. BACKGROUND

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

[0003] Iron tower refers to a high tower made of steel materials. In the field of electric power application, iron towers are used to erect transmission lines to complete power supply. At the same time, iron towers also become the place where birds choose to land. Birds build nests on the towers, and nest materials such as branches and wires cause short circuits of overhead transmission lines; bird droppings form a conductive channel, causing tower air gap breakdown, or bird droppings adhering to insulators causing surface flashover, resulting in overhead transmission line tripping; bird body short circuit refers to the bird body reducing the air gap distance between the overhead transmission line phases or between the phase and ground, resulting in air breakdown and causing overhead transmission line tripping.

[0004] In order to reduce the influence of birds on electric power, the bird nests above the wires are generally removed by artificial means. Although this method is effective, it cannot remove the bird nests in the first time, resulting in great hidden dangers of birds to power transmission safety; and workers need to climb to the top of the power iron tower every time to remove the bird nests, which is dangerous. In addition, some existing bird repelling devices using sound or light often need to completely rely on the weather, which is low in efficiency and cannot achieve the purpose of removing bird nests.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bird repelling device for power iron tower to prevent birds from nesting. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a bird nest preventing device for power iron tower, which can effectively prevent birds from nesting on the top of the power iron tower and cross arms.

[0007] To achieve the above object, one or more embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions: a bird nest preventing device for power iron tower is provided, which comprises a fixing assembly, a supporting assembly and a bird repelling assembly.

[0008] The bird repelling assembly comprises a semicircular spherical surface I, a corresponding semicircular spherical surface II and a connecting device connecting the two semispherical surfaces;

[0009] The apex of the semicircular spherical surface is a hexagon;

[0010] The apex of the semicircular spherical surface is a hexagon;

[0011] The suction cup can be adsorbed and released on the circular inner side of the semicircular spherical surface II; the compression spring I is compressed and restored between the semicircular spherical surface I and the semicircular spherical surface II.

[0012] The semicircular spherical surface I does not use the standing of birds, and is not conducive to the nest building of birds, thereby reducing the influence of birds on the power transmission line from the source; the setting of the compression spring I and the suction cup can make the birds or the bird nests and other objects with weight exist on the semicircular spherical surface I, and the compression spring is compressed due to the gravity of the objects, so that the suction cup is temporarily adsorbed on the semicircular spherical surface II; the suction cup is separated due to the restoring force of the compression spring, and the semicircular spherical surface I vibrates, thereby scaring the birds; meanwhile, if it is a bird nest, the bird nest can be directly shaken off, so that the purpose of preventing the bird nest building is achieved.

[0013] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, the semicircular spherical surface is divided into a fan structure in a radial manner with a hexagon as the center; the fan structure is integrated with the hexagon; and a crease is arranged at the connection between the fan structure and the hexagon.

[0014] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, an integrated protruding structure is arranged at the end of the fan structure; a crease is arranged between the protruding structure and the fan structure; and the protruding structure is square or rectangular.

[0015] The arrangement of the crease can make the semicircular spherical surface more flexible, and in the case of stress, both semicircular spherical surfaces are compressed, thereby forming a structure like a round cake.

[0016] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, the protruding structure of the semicircular spherical surface I is combined with the protruding structure of the semicircular spherical surface II in an overlapping manner, and a connecting belt is arranged on the surface; the connecting belt is arranged to connect the two semicircular spherical surfaces.

[0017] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, the protruding structures are incompletely fixedly connected through the first bolt and the first nut after being overlapped, thereby connecting the two semicircular spherical surfaces.

[0018] The incomplete fixed connection can make the two semicircular spherical surfaces connected into a spherical shape, and can also be in a round cake shape when compressed.

[0019] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, the edges of the connecting belt are arc-shaped; the length of the connecting belt is equal to the width of the bottom of the fan; and the width of the connecting belt is equal to the intersection length of the protruding structure of the semicircular spherical surface I and the protruding structure of the semicircular spherical surface II.

[0020] In still another specific embodiment of the present application, the bird repelling assembly, the supporting assembly and the fixing assembly are sequentially connected from top to bottom.

[0021] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the fixing component is inverted U-shaped; the fixing component is fixed to the iron tower by a second bolt and a second nut.

[0022] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the support assembly includes a compression spring II and a support plate.

[0023] The compression spring II serves to connect the fixing component and the bird deterrent component. More importantly, since the compression spring II is exposed to the outside world, it shakes constantly in the wind, causing the bird deterrent component above to shake continuously, further increasing the difficulty for birds to land on the bird deterrent component.

[0024] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the semi-circular spherical surface I is made of a honeycomb material to reflect light and reduce the possibility of birds landing by reflecting light.

[0025] The above one or more technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The bird nesting prevention device of the present invention can respond to the weight of the birds and their nests. Through the setting of pressure spring I and suction cup, it can automatically compress and reset without the need for other external forces. In particular, during the reset process, a great upward force is generated, which can startle the birds and shake the nests off. At the same time, the reset time is unpredictable, which reduces the birds' biological adaptation to the bird deterrent device.

[0027] The bird nesting prevention device also incorporates a spherical structure, which is inherently unfavorable for birds to stand on or build nests, thus reducing the impact of birds on power transmission lines from the outset. Furthermore, the spherical structure is made of a honeycomb-patterned reflective material, which uses light to deter birds.

[0028] The bird nesting prevention device also includes a pressure spring II. The pressure spring II responds to the wind, causing the bird deterrent component to sway in the wind, making it more difficult for birds to land. At the same time, the pressure spring II also responds to the weight of the birds and their nests, so that the entire bird deterrent component is not a fixed structure, but continues to sway to further drive away birds and prevent nest building.

[0029] Advantages of additional aspects of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0039] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular implementations only and is not intended to limit the exemplary implementations of the present invention.

[0040] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A device for preventing birds from nesting on power transmission towers includes a fixing component 4, a supporting component, and a bird-repelling component 1. The bird-repelling component 1 includes a semi-circular spherical surface I 9 and a corresponding semi-circular spherical surface II 10, and a connecting structure 12 connecting the two hemispheres. The vertices of the semi-circular spherical surfaces are hexagonal. A compression spring I 8 and a suction cup 7 are installed inside the vertices of the semi-circular spherical surface I 9. The compression spring I 8 is fixed by welding to the hexagons of the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 and the semi-circular spherical surface II 10 respectively. The compression spring I 8 is compressed and restored between the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 and the semi-circular spherical surface II 10. The suction cup 7 is installed in the hexagon of the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 by screws; at the same time, the suction cup 7 is precisely positioned in the middle of the gap of the compression spring I 8; the suction cup 7 can adsorb and release on the inner side of the hexagon of the semi-circular spherical surface II 10; the inner side of the hexagon of the semi-circular spherical surface II 10 has cylindrical protrusions, and the surface of the cylindrical protrusions interacts with the suction cup 7, thereby achieving the effect of adsorbing and releasing the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 and the semi-circular spherical surface II 10.

[0044] The semi-circular spherical surface I 9 does not facilitate birds' standing and is less conducive to birds building nests, thus reducing the impact of birds on power transmission lines from the source. The setting of pressure spring I 8 and suction cup 7 allows heavy objects such as birds or bird nests to be placed on the semi-circular spherical surface I 9. Due to their own weight, the pressure spring I 8 is compressed, causing the suction cup 7 to be temporarily attached to the semi-circular spherical surface II 10. Due to the restoring force of the compression spring I 8, the suction cup 7 is detached from the semi-circular spherical surface II 10, and the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 vibrates, thereby startling the birds. At the same time, if it is a bird nest, it can be shaken off directly, thus achieving the purpose of preventing birds from building nests.

[0045] The semi-circular sphere is radially divided into sector-shaped structures 11 with a hexagon as the center; the sector-shaped structure 11 is integrated with the hexagon; creases are provided at the connection between the sector-shaped structure and the hexagon.

[0046] The end of the fan-shaped structure 11 has an integrated protruding structure; a crease is provided between the protruding structure and the fan-shaped structure 11; the protruding structure is square or rectangular. The crease allows the semi-circular spherical surface to move more flexibly. Under force, both semi-circular spherical surfaces are compressed, thus forming a disc-shaped structure.

[0047] The protruding structures of semicircular spherical surface I and semicircular spherical surface II overlap and combine, with a connecting band covering the surface; the connecting band connects the two semicircular spherical surfaces.

[0048] After the protruding structures overlap, they are partially fixedly connected by the first bolt 13 and the first nut, thus connecting the two semi-circular spherical surfaces. This partial fixed connection allows the two semi-circular spherical surfaces to be joined into a sphere, or to become a disc shape under compression.

[0049] The edges of the connecting strip are all arc-shaped; the length of the connecting strip is equal to the width of the bottom of the fan-shaped structure 11; the width of the connecting strip is equal to the overlap width of the protruding structures of the semi-circular spherical surface I and the semi-circular spherical surface II.

[0050] Bird deterrent component 1, support component and fixing component 4 are connected in sequence from top to bottom.

[0051] The fixing component 4 is inverted U-shaped; the fixing component 4 is fixed to the iron tower by the second bolt 6 and the second nut 5.

[0052] The support assembly includes a compression spring II 2 and a support plate 3. One end of the compression spring II 2 is welded to the outer side of the hemispherical surface II, and the other end is welded to the support plate. The compression spring II 2 connects the bird deterrent assembly 1 and the fixing assembly 4. The design of the support plate 3 addresses the problem of direct contact between the fixing assembly 4 and the compression spring II 2, resulting in a small contact area and making the compression spring II 2 difficult to install. Furthermore, in this invention, the compression spring II 2 is welded after extending into the support plate 3, enhancing the connection strength between the components. Additionally, long pins can be installed on the periphery of the support plate 3 to prevent birds from landing.

[0053] The compression spring II 2 serves to connect the fixing component 4 and the bird deterrent component 1. More importantly, the compression spring II 2 is exposed to the outside world and shakes constantly in windy weather, causing the bird deterrent component 1 above to shake continuously, further increasing the difficulty for birds to land on the bird deterrent component 1.

[0054] In this invention, the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 is made of an alloy material with a honeycomb pattern, which plays a reflective role and reduces the possibility of birds landing by reflecting light; at the same time, the alloy has a certain strength and toughness, which allows the bird deterrent device to be spherical or disc-shaped, and its service life is also longer compared with ordinary materials.

[0055] In this invention, all materials are coated with a reflective coating that reflects sunlight, making it impossible for birds to look directly at or approach them.

[0056] Specific working principle: such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the power tower bird nest prevention device of the present invention is designed with multiple layers of bird deterrents and devices to prevent the construction of bird nests.

[0057] First, the present invention designs a spherical structure, which is inherently unfavorable for birds to land and further reduces the possibility of birds building nests; at the same time, the semi-circular spherical surface I 9 is made of honeycomb material, which has the effect of focusing light and can increase reflection from multiple angles, making birds visually avoid this place and reducing the impact of birds on power transmission lines from the source.

[0058] Secondly, even after the bird's nest begins to be built, under the influence of the nest's own weight, the compression spring I 8 and the suction cup 7 will be compressed to the semi-circular spherical surface II 10, and the bird-repelling component 1 will change from a spherical shape to a disc shape. At the same time, due to the rebound force of the compression spring I 8 and the temporary adsorption performance of the suction cup 7, the compression spring I 8 will return to its original position, and the semi-circular spherical surfaces I 9 and II 10 will separate instantly, generating a huge impact force that causes the bird's nest to fall. Furthermore, the reset time is unpredictable, reducing the birds' biological adaptation to the bird-repelling device.

[0059] Furthermore, a pressure spring II 2 is also installed. The pressure spring II 2 can respond to the wind force, causing the bird deterrent component to sway in the wind, which is more unfavorable for birds to land. At the same time, the pressure spring II 2 will also respond to the weight of the birds and the nests themselves, so that the entire bird nest prevention device is not a fixed structure, and the continuous swaying further drives away birds and prevents the construction of nests.

[0060] On the support plate of this invention, long needles coated with reflective material can also be set around the bird deterrent component to further reduce the bird's landing points and enhance the optical bird deterrent effect.

[0061] In summary, the various structures in this invention work together to utilize the weight of the birds and their nests, without the need for external forces or relying entirely on weather conditions, to achieve the purpose of repelling birds and preventing nest building.

[0062] While the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
