One of the most important aspects is lightning. The formation of lightning accident of overhead transmission line usually experiences three stages: the transmission line is subjected to lightning overvoltage and flashover, the transmission line changes from impulse flashover to stable power frequency voltage, and the line trips. The line trip will lead to line failure or even power outage, and in severe cases, lightning will cause insulator string breakage, insulator breakdown, and conductor breakage. Therefore, lightning protection is a long-term and arduous task.
[0003] In recent years, with the improvement of ecological environment and the enhancement of people's awareness of protecting wild animals, birds are more active. The number of overhead transmission line failures caused by bird activities has also increased significantly. When birds defecate, nest, fly, and peck on the line, they will cause damage to power transmission equipment or cause line trip and failure.
[0004] The existing bird repeller usually adopts bird-proof thorn and windmill type bird repeller. These two bird repelling devices are mainly aimed at birds such as sparrows, magpies, and crows. These birds are small in size. The bird damage accidents caused by them are mainly bird nest, bird droppings, and bird pecking. The initial effect of these two bird repelling devices is very good, but the effect decreases year by year as the use time increases. In addition, for large birds, the existing bird repelling method has little effect on large birds such as herons, owls, and white storks. SUMMARY

It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0027] A bird repeller for a power transmission tower, as Figures 1-3 As shown, it comprises a shell 1, a top cover 2, a clamping plate 3, and an identification assembly, a bird repelling assembly, an energy assembly and a control module installed in the shell 1, the clamping plate 3 is detachably connected with the bottom of the shell 1, the shell 1 is installed on the power transmission tower by using the clamping plate 3 to realize non-destructive installation. The shell 1 is an open-top structure, and the top cover 2 is installed on the top of the shell 1; the control module is connected with the identification assembly and the bird repelling assembly, and the energy assembly provides electric energy for the identification assembly, the bird repelling assembly and the control module.
[0028] The bird species are identified by the identification assembly, and then the bird repelling assembly is controlled by the control module to effectively repel birds, thereby preventing bird damage.
[0029] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The identification assembly comprises two sets of Doppler radars 41 and two sets of sound pickups 42, the two sets of Doppler radars 41 are installed on both sides of the top cover 2, and the two sets of sound pickups 42 are installed on both sides of the shell 1. The detection range of the Doppler radar is 30 m, the detection angle is greater than 180°, the waterproof level is greater than IP65, and the size of the bird can be distinguished. In combination with the sound pickups, the environmental sound is collected to determine the species of the bird; the environmental data is collected by the Doppler radar 41 and the sound pickup 42 at the same time to determine the size and species of the bird, and then a more effective bird repelling method can be selected.
[0030] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The bird repelling assembly comprises eight ultrasonic wave generators 43, two LED stroboscopic lamps 44 and eight loudspeakers; the eight ultrasonic wave generators 43 and the eight loudspeakers are installed around the shell 1, and the two LED stroboscopic lamps 44 are installed on opposite sides of the shell 1. Large birds with a body size greater than 80 cm are driven away by the ultrasonic wave generators 43 and the LED stroboscopic lamps 44, and small birds are driven away by the loudspeakers simulating gunshots and hawk calls.
[0031] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The energy assembly comprises a solar panel 46 and a storage battery, the storage battery is installed in the shell 1, the solar panel 46 is installed on the top cover 2, and the solar panel 46 is connected with the storage battery.
[0032] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The shell 1 adopts a right-angled trapezoidal structure, the top cover 2 covers the top of the shell 1 and is inclined by 41°, so that the solar panel 46 can effectively absorb solar energy and store energy.
[0033] In an embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-3 The clamping plate 3 is provided with notches 31 matched with the angle steels of the power transmission tower, the two ends of the clamping plate 3 are provided with waist-shaped holes 32, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with mounting holes, and the clamping plate 3 is fixed with the shell 1 by screws and nuts.
[0034] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-3 An opening is arranged on the side wall of the shell 1 and a rain baffle 45 is arranged at the opening, so that the opening can be used for ventilation and heat dissipation, and the rain baffle 45 can prevent rainwater from entering.
[0035] The application further discloses an auxiliary installation assembly of the bird repeller for the power transmission tower. First, the bird repeller is installed on the high power transmission tower. Second, in order to ensure the installation of the bird repeller, the clamping plate 3 is fixed to the bottom of the shell 1 by a screw. When the auxiliary installation assembly is not assembled, the screw and the clamping plate 3 can fall from the high altitude at any time, which is dangerous. The auxiliary installation assembly can be safely and reliably installed. Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6 The auxiliary installation assembly comprises an installation plate 51, a hanging piece 52 and four sets of pre-positioning assemblies 53. The installation plate 51 is provided with four sliding grooves 511, and the pre-positioning assemblies 53 are slidingly arranged in the sliding grooves 511. The installation plate 51 is installed on the angle steel by the hanging piece 52. The pre-positioning assembly 53 comprises a positioning block 531 and a pull rod 532. The positioning block 531 is arranged in the sliding groove 511, and the installation plate 51 is provided with a guide hole. The pull rod 532 is slidingly arranged in the guide hole and connected with the positioning block 531. The pull rod 532 is used to control the movement of the positioning block 531 in the sliding groove 511.
[0036] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-6 The positioning block 531 and the sliding groove 511 are gap-fitted in the width direction, so that the positioning block 531 can smoothly move along the length direction of the sliding groove 511. Preferably, the upper surface of the positioning block 531 extends to both sides to form a supporting edge 5311, and the supporting edge 5311 is used to support the positioning block 531 on the upper surface of the installation plate 51.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the pull rod 532 is threadedly connected with the positioning block 531. That is, one end of the pull rod 532 is provided with external threads, and the positioning block 531 is provided with internal threads matched with the external threads.
[0038] In one embodiment, a groove 5312 for mating with a screw is recessed on the upper surface of the positioning block 531, and one end of the groove 5312 is an open structure. One end of the screw is a hexagonal structure to facilitate controlling the rotation or fixing of the screw with a wrench; in order to enable the screw to be stably assembled in the groove 5312, the inner wall of the groove 5312 is provided with a matte structure to increase the friction between the screw and the groove 5312 and ensure that the screw is reliably placed vertically in the groove 5312. The positioning block 531 is set as a movable structure and can move in the chute 5311. After the screw and the nut are tightened, the positioning block 531 is pulled by the pull rod 532 to separate the positioning block 531 from the screw thread, and then the mounting plate 51 is removed from the angle steel. Compared with directly providing the groove 5312 for mating with the screw on the mounting plate 531, when the four screws are tightened and the mounting plate 51 is separated from the screw, there will inevitably be resistance and it is impossible to quickly determine the resistance point, and it is very likely that the mounting plate 51 cannot be safely removed.
[0039] In one embodiment, as Figures 1-6 shown, a plug 5313 is protruded at one end of the positioning block 531, a slot 5111 is recessed at the corresponding position on the inner wall of the chute 511, and a clamping member 5112 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 5111. The clamping member 5112 is used to cooperate with the plug 5313 to temporarily fix the positioning block 531 to prevent the positioning block 531 from moving and causing inaccurate screw positioning.
[0040] In one embodiment, as Figures 1-6 shown, the hanging member 52 has a "冂" - shaped structure, and clamping grooves 521 for mating with the mounting plate 51 are protruded on both sides. An adhesive layer is provided in the clamping grooves 521 to increase the friction between the clamping grooves 521 and the mounting plate 51 and prevent the clamping member 52 from being accidentally separated from the mounting plate 51 during high - altitude operation.
[0041] When the auxiliary installation component of the present invention installs the bird - repellent device, as Figures 1-6 shown, the plugs 5313 of the four positioning blocks 531 are inserted into the slots 5111, then the screws are loaded into the grooves 5312, and then the clamping plate 3 is placed on the mounting plate. At this time, the four screws are all in the position to be assembled. The mounting plate 51 is installed on the angle steel through the hanging member 52, and then the bottom four mounting holes of the housing 1 of the bird - repellent device are aligned with the screws and then placed on the angle steel, and the nuts are screwed onto the screws for locking. Since the positioning block 531 is placed in the chute 511, when rotating, the force received by the positioning block 531 acts on the chute 511. After locking, the top cover 2 is installed, and finally the mounting plate 51 is removed.
[0042] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention; if the present invention is modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it should be covered by the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
