Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of civil automation technology and relates to an intelligent automated bird deterrent device for airports and its usage method. It is an intelligent automated bird deterrent device based on sound and light emission. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of aviation, the number of aircraft and routes is increasing, and airports are expanding. This has led to a significant increase in the probability of bird strikes. To avoid such accidents, airports employ various methods, the most common being bird deterrent cannons that use sound to scare away birds. However, currently used bird deterrent cannons at airports are cumbersome to change ammunition, lacking a one-click system and relying heavily on manual labor, inevitably wasting human resources. Furthermore, they are unsafe, bulky, and require cranes for transport. The cannon's narrow elevation angle also creates blind spots for bird deterrence. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an intelligent automated bird deterrence device and its usage method for airport bird control. It can identify birds near the airport through radar and automatically fire bird deterrence cannons. It also adds a magazine function, which can realize the overall loading and unloading of ammunition, achieve a high degree of automation in airport bird control, improve bird control efficiency and safety, and reduce the waste of human resources.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] An intelligent automated bird deterrent device includes a rotating system 1, a pitching system 2, and a base 3. The rotating system 1 is mounted on the base 3, the pitching system 2 is located in the middle of the rotating system 1, and the base 3 is installed on the ground of an airport apron.
[0006] The rotary system 1 includes a support frame 1-5, and a transmission system 1-1, an encoder 1-2, a controller 1-3, a stepper motor 1-4, a drive shaft 1-6, and a harmonic reducer 1-7 mounted on the support frame 1-5. The controller 1-3 communicates with the encoder 1-2 and the stepper motor 1-4. The support frame 1-5 includes a hollow box structure placed horizontally in the middle and plate-like structures arranged vertically on both sides of the box. The transmission system 1-1, drive shaft 1-6, harmonic reducer 1-7, and stepper motor 1-4 are mounted on one side of the plate-like structure of the hollow box structure. The transmission system 1-1 is a belt-driven structure, including a large wheel, a small wheel, and a belt connecting the large and small wheels. The drive shaft 1-6, located at the center of the large wheel, is connected to the harmonic reducer 1-7. The bottom end of the harmonic reducer 1-7 is bolted to the upper part of the inner side of the support frame 1-5, and its top end is fixedly connected to the right hole plate 2-6 of the pitch system 2. The small wheel is connected to the stepper motor 1-4 installed in the middle of the support frame 1-5, and the large wheel and small wheel are driven by a belt. On the other side of the hollow box structure, an encoder 1-2 is installed on the upper part of the plate structure, and a controller 1-3 is installed in the middle. The encoder 1-2 is fixedly connected to the left hole plate 2-7 of the pitch system 2. The encoder 1-2 is used to detect the rotation angle of the pitch system 2 and transmit the signal to the controller 1-3. The opening on the lower surface of the support frame 1-5 is connected to the cable slip ring 3-3 of the base 3.
[0007] During operation, controller 1-3 controls stepper motor 1-4 to work. Stepper motor 1-4 drives transmission shaft 1-6 to rotate through transmission system 1-1, controlling harmonic reducer 1-7 to move. Since harmonic reducer 1-7 is fixedly connected to right hole plate 2-6 of pitch system 2, it controls pitch system 2 to perform pitch movement from -30° to 90°. The rotation angle information of pitch system 2 is transmitted to encoder 1-2 through left hole plate 2-7.
[0008] Furthermore, the large wheel of the transmission system 1-1 is installed on the upper part of the outer side of the support frame 1-5, and the small wheel is installed on the lower part of the outer side of the support frame 1-5.
[0009] Furthermore, the harmonic reducers 1-7 used in this invention have advantages such as small size and large reduction ratio, which can complete the transmission more efficiently.
[0010] The elevation / depression system 2 includes a cartridge 2-1, a magazine assembly 2-2, a quick-locking device 2-3, a base 2-4, a lower baffle 2-5, a right perforated plate 2-6, and a left perforated plate 2-7. Specifically, the cartridge 2-1 is mounted on the base 2-4, and the right perforated plate 2-6 and the left perforated plate 2-7 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the base 2-4. The base 2-4 is a rectangular plate structure with holes arranged in M rows × N columns in the middle for mounting the cartridge 2-1, and through holes at the four corners for mounting the quick-locking device. The magazine assembly 2-2 can mount M rows × N columns of bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3, with the ammunition arrangement corresponding to the positions of the holes in the middle of the base 2-4. The magazine assembly 2-2 is positioned below the base 2-4 and above the lower baffle 2-5. The lower baffle 2-5 is a plate-shaped structure with the same length and width dimensions as the base 2-4. It also has through holes at its four corners for installing quick-locking devices, corresponding to the through holes at the four corners of the base 2-4. Quick-locking devices 2-3 are installed in two of these through holes. When installing the magazine assembly 2-2, rotate the quick-locking device 2-3 to open the base 2-4 and the lower baffle 2-5, aligning the magazine assembly 2-2 with the base 2-4. Rotate the quick-locking device 2-3 again to clamp the magazine assembly 2-2 with the lower baffle 2-5, and then proceed with the operation. The elevation system 2 is controlled by the rotation system 1 to perform elevation and depression movements. After aiming at the birds to be driven away, it launches a bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 via electromagnetic ignition, driving away the flock of birds with a loud explosion.
[0011] Furthermore, the magazine assembly 2-2 includes a base plate 2-2-1, a chuck 2-2-2, and bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3, improving upon the structure of traditional bird-repelling ammunition. The base plate 2-2-1 is a flat plate structure, supporting the other components of the magazine. The chuck 2-2-2 is located above the base plate 2-2-1, with a gap between them for mounting the ammunition tail. The chuck 2-2-2 has multiple equally spaced holes for mounting the bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 in an M x N row configuration. The bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 is fixed to these holes by the chuck 2-2-2. Details are as follows:
[0012] The base plate 2-2-1 serves as the longitudinal positioning element for the chuck 2-2-2 and the bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 during the installation of the bird repeller. When installing the magazine, the base plate 2-2-1 is used as the bottom surface to clamp the bird repeller, and the bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 on the magazine is aligned with the barrel of the bird repeller. The base plate 2-2-1 has multiple circular grooves evenly spaced in an M-row × N-column configuration for placing external electromagnetic induction coils. The positions of these circular grooves correspond to the positions of the bullet holes in the chuck 2-2-2.
[0013] The chuck 2-2-2 includes a push plate 2-2-2-1, locking strips 2-2-2-2, springs 2-2-2-3, and a frame 2-2-2-4. The frame 2-2-2-4 is a plate-like structure with M rows × N columns of openings. Each column of openings has grooves on both sides for mounting the locking strips 2-2-2-2. Push plates 2-2-2-1 are mounted at both ends of each column of openings. Grooves for mounting springs 2-2-2-3 are provided between adjacent through holes in each column of openings. N notches are spaced apart on the two opposite edges of the frame 2-2-2-4 for engaging with the push plates 2-2-2-1. Each row of spring holes on the chuck 2-2-2 has a pair of locking strips 2-2-2-2 on both sides, for a total of N pairs. Multiple springs 2-2-2-3 are arranged between each pair of locking strips 2-2-2-2, and the springs 2-2-2-3 tighten the two locking strips 2-2-2-2. The push plate 2-2-2-1 is located at both ends of each pair of clips. The push plate 2-2-2-1 is an isosceles trapezoidal strip structure, with the end sides being the inner side and the long sides being the outer side. A protrusion is provided in the middle of the strip. The two short sides of the isosceles trapezoidal structure contact the two clips 2-2-2-2 in each row. The push plate 2-2-2-1 and the clips 2-2-2-2 are tightly connected and installed in the groove of the frame 2-2-2-4. The protrusion on the push plate 2-2-2-1 protrudes from the notch reserved on the side of the frame 2-2-2-4. When disassembling the bird deterrent bullet 2-2-3, the protruding part of the push plate 2-2-2-1 is pushed inward by manually pushing it through the notch on the side of the frame 2-2-2-4, resisting the spring force. Due to the isosceles trapezoidal design of the upper part of the push plate 2-2-2-1, the lateral spacing of the locking strip 2-2-2-2 is increased as the push plate 2-2-2-1 is pushed inward, thus removing the bullet. When installing the bullet, the locking strip 2-2-2-2 locks the bullet tail, and the spring force applied by the spring 2-2-2-3 is used to tighten and fix it.
[0014] The bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 has a cylindrical structure, comprising a projectile head 2-2-3-1 and a tail 2-2-3-2. The projectile head 2-2-3-1 and the tail 2-2-3-2 are separate structures. The projectile head 2-2-3-1 contains propellant and explosive powder, with the propellant and explosive separated. An internal electromagnetic induction coil 2-2-3-4 is attached to the bottom of the tail 2-2-3-2, and a ignition rod 2-2-3-3 is installed inside the tail 2-2-3-2. The top of the ignition rod 2-2-3-3 is inserted into the projectile head 2-2-3-1 for ignition, and its bottom is connected to the bottom of the tail 2-2-3-2. During transportation and storage, the projectile 2-2-3-1 and the tail 2-2-3-2 are stored separately. Before use, the projectile 2-2-3-1 is fastened and assembled with the tail 2-2-3-2, which is equipped with an ignition rod 2-2-3-3 and an internal electromagnetic induction coil 2-2-3-4. The tail 2-2-3-2 passes through the through hole of the chuck 2-2-2 and contacts the external electromagnetic induction coil in the circular groove of the base plate 2-2-1. The external electromagnetic induction coil is connected to an external power source through a lead wire 2-2-3-5. When in use, it is powered on, and ignition is achieved through electromagnetic induction between the internal and external electromagnetic induction coils. The outer side of the tail section 2-2-3-2 has a groove. During installation, the bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 is mounted on the chuck 2-2-2 by locking the clips 2-2-2-2 into the groove. The spring 2-2-2-3 then tightens the clips 2-2-2-2 on both sides of the projectile 2-2-3, securing it in place. In use, the lead wire 2-2-3-5 is energized, causing electromagnetic induction between the external electromagnetic coil and the internal electromagnetic coil 3-4 at the bottom of the tail section 2-2-3-2. This ignites the ignition rod 2-2-3-3, setting the projectile in the head section 2-2-3-1 to explode in the designated direction, thus driving away flocks of birds.
[0015] Furthermore, both the right perforated plate 2-6 and the left perforated plate 2-7 are plate-shaped structures with through holes at the top, forming a symmetrical structure, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 2-4. The through hole in the right perforated plate 2-6 is used for the fixed installation of the harmonic reducer 1-7, and the through hole in the left perforated plate 2-7 is used for the fixed installation of the encoder 1-2.
[0016] The base 3 includes a motor 3-1, a conductive slip ring 3-2, a cable slip ring 3-3, a support frame 3-4, and a transmission system 3-5. The transmission system 3-5 includes a large wheel, a small wheel, and a belt connected to them for transmission. The support frame 3-4 is a cuboid structure with an opening at the top, where the cable slip ring 3-3 is installed. The transmission system 3-5 is installed inside the upper part of the support frame 3-4. The cable slip ring 3-3 is connected above the axle of the large wheel of the transmission system 3-5 and is fixed to the opening below the support frame 1-5 of the rotary system 1 using countersunk bolts. The conductive slip ring 3-2 is connected below the axle of the large wheel of the transmission system 3-5, and the motor 3-1 is connected below the axle of the small wheel of the transmission system 3-5. During operation, the motor 3-1 moves, driving the conductive ring 3-2 and the cable slip ring 3-3 through the transmission system 3-5, enabling the rotary system 1 to rotate horizontally 360°.
[0017] A method for using an intelligent automated bird deterrent device includes the following steps:
[0018] The radar detects birds and sends a signal, causing motor 3-1 to move. This movement, via conveyor belt 3-5, drives conductive ring 3-2 and cable slip ring 3-3, enabling the rotation system 1 to move 360°. Controller 1-3 controls stepper motor 1-4, which in turn drives transmission shaft 1-6 via conveyor system 1-1. This drives harmonic reducer 1-7 via right orifice plate 2-6, which in turn controls elevation system 2 to move from -30° to 90°. The rotation angle information of elevation system 2 is transmitted to encoder 1-2 via left orifice plate 2-7. After aiming at the direction of the birds, the magazine assembly 2-2 electromagnetically fires bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3, which then uses sound to scare away the birds.
[0019] Furthermore, after aiming, the bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 is launched via electromagnetic ignition through the magazine assembly 2-2, as detailed below:
[0020] Before installing the magazine assembly 2-2, fasten and assemble the projectile 2-2-3-1 with the tail 2-2-3-2, which is equipped with the ignition rod 2-2-3-3 and the electromagnetic coil 2-2-3-4. The locking strip 2-2-2-2 is locked into the groove of the tail 2-2-3-2 and tightened by the spring 2-2-2-3, so that the locking strips 2-2-2-2 on both sides of the bird deterrent projectile 2-2-3 are locked and fixed. The plane at the bottom of all the tails 2-2-3-2 is in contact with the base plate 2-2-1, forming the magazine assembly 2-2.
[0021] After loading bird deterrent ammunition 2-2-3, send the magazine assembly 2-2 to the bird deterrent device where the magazine assembly 2-2 needs to be replaced for replacement. After installation, start working.
[0022] When the bird deterrent needs to fire a shell, the bird-repelling shell 2-2-3 is ignited by electromagnetic induction through the electromagnetic coil 2-2-3-4 at the bottom of the magazine, which ignites the projectile in the projectile head 2-2-3-1, and the explosive is launched in the designated direction and then explodes to drive away the flock of birds.
[0023] Once all bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 has been fired and needs to be removed, the protruding part of the push plate 2-2-2-1 is manually struck through the notch on the side of the frame 2-2-2-4. This pushes the push plate 2-2-2-1 inward, resisting the spring force. Due to the isosceles trapezoidal design of the upper part of the push plate 2-2-2-1, the inward push increases the lateral spacing of the locking strips 2-2-2-2, causing the bird-repelling ammunition 2-2-3 to fall out automatically. Then, the newly assembled magazine is installed, and the process is repeated.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0025] The bird-repelling cannon device provided by this invention is lightweight, efficient, safe, and highly effective at repelling birds, while also freeing up labor and reducing labor costs. It can automate the firing of projectiles by the bird repeller, improving accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Figure 1 The diagram shows the overall structure of an intelligent automated bird deterrent device based on acoustic and optical emission, including a rotary system 1, an elevation system 2, and a base 3. The rotary system 1 is mounted on the base 3, the elevation system 2 is located in the middle of the rotary system 1, and the base 3 is installed on the airport apron.
[0042] Figure 2 , 3The diagram shows the structure of the rotary system, including a transmission system 1-1, an encoder 1-2, a controller 1-3, a stepper motor 1-4, a support frame 1-5, a drive shaft 1-6, and a harmonic reducer 1-7. The transmission system 1-1, encoder 1-2, controller 1-3, and stepper motor 1-4 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 1-5. Specifically, the support frame 1-5 includes a hollow box structure placed horizontally in the middle and plate-like structures arranged vertically on both sides of the box. The transmission system 1-1 is installed on the outer side of one of the plate-like structures of the hollow box structure. The transmission system 1-1 is a belt-driven structure, including a large wheel, a small wheel, and a belt connecting the large and small wheels. The large wheel is mounted on the upper part of the outer side of the support frame 1-5, and is connected to the harmonic reducer 1-7 via the drive shaft 1-6 at the center of the large wheel. The bottom end of the harmonic reducer 1-7 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the inner side of the support frame 1-5 with bolts, and the top end is fixedly connected to the right hole plate 2-6 of the pitch system 2. The small wheel is mounted on the lower part of the outer side of the support frame 1-5, and is connected to the stepper motor 1-4 installed in the middle of the support frame 1-5. The large wheel and the small wheel are driven by a belt. An encoder 1-2 is installed on the upper part of the other side plate of the hollow box structure, and a controller 1-3 is installed in the middle. The controller 1-3 communicates with the encoder 1-2 and the stepper motor 1-4. The encoder 1-2 is fixedly connected to the left hole plate 2-7. The lower opening of the support frame 1-5 is connected to the cable slip ring 3-3 of the base 3. The controller 1-3 controls the stepper motor 1-4 to work. The stepper motor 1-4 drives the transmission shaft 1-6 to rotate through the transmission system 1-1. It controls the harmonic reducer 1-7 to move through the right hole plate 2-6, thereby controlling the pitch system 2 to perform pitch movement from -30° to 90°. The left hole plate 2-7 transmits the rotation angle information of the pitch system 2 to the encoder 1-2.
[0043] The harmonic reducer 1-7 used in this invention has advantages such as small size and large reduction ratio, and can complete the transmission more efficiently. The encoder 1-2 is used to detect the rotation angle of the pitch system 2 and transmit the signal to the controller 1-3.
[0044] Figure 4 , 5This is a schematic diagram of the elevation system, including a cartridge 2-1, a magazine assembly 2-2, a quick-locking device 2-3, a base 2-4, a lower baffle 2-5, a right perforated plate 2-6, and a left perforated plate 2-7. Specifically: the cartridge 2-1 is fixedly mounted on the base 2-4, and the right perforated plate 2-6 and the left perforated plate 2-7 are respectively fixedly mounted on both sides of the base 2-4. The base 2-4 is a rectangular plate structure with 5×5 holes arranged in the middle for mounting the cartridge 2-1, and through holes at the four corners. The magazine assembly 2-2 can hold 5×5 cartridges, and the position of the cartridges corresponds to the position of the holes in the middle of the base 2-4. The magazine assembly 2-2 is located below the base 2-4 and above the lower baffle 2-5. The lower baffle 2-5 is a plate structure with the same length and width dimensions as the base 2-4, and through holes at the four corners, corresponding to the positions of the through holes at the four corners of the base 2-4. Quick-locking devices 2-3 are installed in two of the through holes. When installing the magazine, rotate the quick-locking device 2-3 to align the magazine assembly 2-2 with the base 2-4 of the elevation system 2. Then, rotate the quick-locking device 2-3 again to clamp the magazine assembly 2-2 with the lower baffle 2-5 before commencing operation. The elevation system 2 is controlled by the rotation system 1 to perform elevation and depression movements. After aiming at the birds to be driven away, it fires a bird-scare projectile via electromagnetic ignition, driving away the flock of birds with the loud sound of the explosion.
[0045] Both the right perforated plate 2-6 and the left perforated plate 2-7 are plate-shaped structures with through holes at the top, forming a symmetrical structure, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 2-4. The through hole in the right perforated plate 2-6 is used for the fixed installation of the harmonic reducer 1-7, while the through hole in the left perforated plate 2-7 is used for the fixed installation of the encoder 1-2.
[0046] Figure 6(a) shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the magazine. The magazine device includes a base plate 2-2-1, a chuck 2-2-2, and bird-repelling bullets 2-2-3. The base plate 2-2-1 is a flat plate structure that provides bottom support for the other structures of the magazine. The chuck 2-2-2 is located above the base plate 2-2-1, with a gap between them. The chuck 2-2-2 has multiple bullet holes of 5×5 evenly spaced for installing the bird-repelling bullets 2-2-3, which are fixed to the bullet holes by the chuck 2-2-2. The base plate 2-2-1 serves as a longitudinal positioning element for the chuck 2-2-2 and the bird-repelling bullets 2-2-3 during the installation of the bird repeller. When installing the magazine device, the base plate 2-2-1 is used as the bottom surface to clamp onto the bird repeller. The base plate 2-2-1 has 5 rows × 5 columns of circular grooves for placing external electromagnetic induction coils. The position of the circular grooves corresponds to the position of the spring holes in the chuck 2-2-2.
[0047] Figure 6(b) shows a schematic diagram of the chuck structure; Figure 6(c) is a schematic diagram of the frame 2-2-2-4 in the chuck structure of the present invention; Figure 6(d) is a schematic diagram of the push plate 2-2-2-1 in the chuck structure of the present invention; the chuck 2-2-2 includes the push plate 2-2-2-1, the locking strip 2-2-2-2, the spring 2-2-2-3, and the frame 2-2-2-4. The frame 2-2-2-4 is a plate-shaped structure with 5 rows × 5 columns of openings. Each column of openings has grooves on both sides for installing the locking strip 2-2-2-2, and push plates 2-2-2-1 are installed at both ends of each column of openings. Grooves for installing springs 2-2-2-3 are provided between adjacent through holes in each column of openings. Five notches for cooperating with the push plate 2-2-2-1 are provided at intervals on both opposite sides of the frame 2-2-2-4. The chuck 2-2-2 has a pair of locking strips 2-2-2-2 on both sides of each row of bullet holes, totaling 5 pairs. Two springs 2-2-2-3 are spaced apart between each pair of locking strips 2-2-2-2, which tighten the two locking strips 2-2-2-2. The push plate 2-2-2-1 is located at both ends of each pair of locking strips. The push plate 2-2-2-1 is an isosceles trapezoidal strip structure, with the end sides being the inner side and the long sides being the outer side. A protrusion is located in the middle, and the two short sides of the isosceles trapezoidal structure contact the two locking strips 2-2-2-2 in each row. The push plate 2-2-2-1 and the locking strips 2-2-2-2 are tightly connected and installed in the groove of the frame 2-2-2-4. The protrusion on the push plate 2-2-2-1 extends from a pre-reserved notch on the side of the frame 2-2-2-4. When disassembling the bird deterrent bullet 2-2-3, the protruding part of the push plate 2-2-2-1 is pushed inward by manually pushing it through the notch on the side of the frame 2-2-2-4, resisting the spring force. Due to the isosceles trapezoidal design of the upper part of the push plate 2-2-2-1, the lateral spacing of the locking strip 2-2-2-2 is increased as the push plate 2-2-2-1 is pushed inward, thus removing the bullet. When installing the bullet, the locking strip 2-2-2-2 locks the bullet tail, and the spring force applied by the spring 2-2-2-3 is used to tighten and fix it.
[0048] Figure 6(e) shows a schematic diagram of the bird-repelling projectile structure. The bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 is a cylindrical structure, consisting of an upper projectile 2-2-3-1, a lower tail 2-2-3-2, and an ignition rod 2-2-3-3 and an electromagnetic coil 3-4 located inside the tail 2-2-3-2. The projectile 2-2-3-1 and the lower tail 2-2-3-2 are separate structures. The projectile 2-2-3-1 contains propellant and explosive propellant, and the projectile and explosive are separate. The bottom of the tail 2-2-3-2 has an internal electromagnetic coil 3-4. The ignition rod 2-2-3-3 is located inside the tail 2-2-3-2, and the top of the ignition rod 2-2-3-3 is inserted into the projectile 2-2-3-1, while the bottom is connected to the bottom of the tail 2-2-3-2. During transportation and storage, the projectile 2-2-3-1 and the tail 2-2-3-2 are stored separately. Before use, the projectile 2-2-3-1 is fastened and assembled with the tail 2-2-3-2, which is equipped with the ignition rod 2-2-3-3 and the electromagnetic coil 3-4. The tail 2-2-3-2 passes through the through hole of the chuck 2-2-2 and contacts the external electromagnetic induction coil in the circular groove of the base plate 2-2-1. The external electromagnetic induction coil is connected to an external power source through the lead wire 2-2-3-5. In use, heat is generated by electromagnetic induction between the internal and external electromagnetic induction coils to ignite the ignition rod 2-2-3-3. The outer side of the tail section 2-2-3-2 has a groove. During installation, the bird-repelling projectile 2-2-3 is mounted on the chuck 2-2-2 by locking the clip 2-2-2-2 into the groove. The spring 2-2-2-3 then tightens the clips 2-2-2-2 on both sides of the projectile 2-2-3, securing it in place. In use, the fuse 2-2-3-5 is energized, energizing the electromagnetic coil 3-4 at the bottom of the magazine, generating electromagnetic induction. The ignition rod 2-2-3-3 then ignites the projectile in the projectile head 2-2-3-1, launching the explosive in the designated direction and causing it to detonate, thus driving away flocks of birds.
[0049] In addition to the aforementioned mechanical components, the magazine of the present invention is connected to the host computer control system for identifying the position of the flock of birds for positioning and aiming, and then controlling the firing of the magazine.
[0050] Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of base 3, including motor 3-1, conductive slip ring 3-2, cable slip ring 3-3, support frame 3-4, and transmission system 3-5. The transmission system 3-5 includes a large wheel, a small wheel, and a belt connected to them for transmission. The support frame 3-4 is a cuboid structure with an opening at the top, where the cable slip ring 3-3 is installed. The transmission system 3-5 is installed inside the upper part of the support frame 3-4. The cable slip ring 3-3 is connected above the axle of the large wheel of the transmission system 3-5 and is fixed to the opening below the support frame 1-5 of the rotary system 1 using countersunk bolts. The conductive slip ring 3-2 is connected below the axle of the large wheel of the transmission system 3-5, and the motor 3-1 is connected below the axle of the small wheel of the transmission system 3-5. The movement of motor 3-1 drives the conductive slip ring 3-2 and the cable slip ring 3-3 through the transmission system 3-5, enabling the rotary system 1 to rotate horizontally 360°.
[0051] In addition to the aforementioned mechanical components, there is also a radar system to detect the location of birds.
[0052] The working process of an intelligent automated bird deterrent device based on acoustic and optical emission is as follows:
[0053] The radar detects birds and sends a signal, causing motor 3-1 to move. This movement, via conveyor belt 3-5, drives conductive ring 3-2 and cable slip ring 3-3, enabling the rotary system 1 to rotate 360°. Controller 1-3 controls stepper motor 1-4, which in turn drives transmission shaft 1-6 via conveyor system 1-1. This shaft, in turn, controls harmonic reducer 1-7 via right orifice plate 2-6, thus controlling the pitch system 2 to move from -30° to 90°. The left orifice plate 2-7 transmits the pitch system 2's rotation angle information to encoder 1-2. After aiming at the direction of the birds, a bird-repelling projectile is launched via electromagnetic ignition, using the sound emitted by the projectile to scare the birds away.
[0054] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the implementation methods of the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
