[0032] The cleaning brush 371 consists of a fixed base plate and a cleaning strip. The fixed base plate has a slot corresponding to the cleaning strip. The cleaning strip is inserted into the slot and further fixed by screws.

[0033] To make the use of the drive rod 377 more reliable, in this embodiment, preferably, the top end of the drive rod 377 is fixedly connected to the second drive disk 376 by welding, and the second drive disk 376 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 392 by welding.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to prevent the extrusion plate 385 from colliding with the first drive disc 36, in this embodiment, preferably, a first limiting plate 33 is provided at one end of the lower surface of the extrusion plate 385. The first limiting plate 33 has an "L" shaped structure, is made of aluminum, and is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 385 by welding.

[0036] To make the use of the limiting bracket 6 more environmentally friendly, in this embodiment, preferably, a photovoltaic panel 5 is provided at the top of the limiting bracket 6. The photovoltaic panel 5 is fixedly connected to the limiting bracket 6 by screws. The photovoltaic panel 5 is electrically connected to the storage battery 2. When in use, the storage battery 2 is charged through the photovoltaic panel 5.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this invention: When in use, remote monitoring is carried out through camera 4, and the bird deterrent mirror 375 is rotated by wind, thereby deterring birds by reflecting light through the bird deterrent mirror 375, effectively preventing birds from harming the power transmission line. When it rains, rainwater is collected through rainwater collection trough 7 and then stored through water storage tank 8.

[0038] When the bird deterrent mirror 375 needs to be cleaned, the drive electric hydraulic cylinder 31 retracts, and the height of the drive motor 384 decreases, making the top of the bird deterrent mirror 375 flush with the top of the cleaning brush 371. At this time, the drive rod 377 is inserted into the limiting groove 391 at the top of the limiting sleeve 378, and the power of the drive motor 384 is turned on. At this time, the drive motor 384 drives the limiting sleeve 378 and the bird deterrent mirror 375 to rotate through the drive rod 377, thereby scraping the dust on the bird deterrent mirror 375 through the cleaning brush 371. When the bird deterrent mirror 375 comes into contact with the cleaning brush 371, the elastic limiting plate 373 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the cleaning brush 371 can fit tightly against the bird deterrent mirror 375 without affecting the rotation of the bird deterrent mirror 375.

[0039] Furthermore, when the drive motor 384 rotates, the first drive disc 36 rotates along with the transmission shaft 392. When the second limiting magnet 383 passes over the first limiting magnet 35, the second limiting magnet 383 and the first limiting magnet 35 repel each other, thereby reducing the height of the extrusion plate 385. The extrusion plate 385 extrudes the water spray airbag 34, causing the water in the water spray airbag 34 to be sprayed out through the nozzle 381, thereby rinsing the bird-repelling mirror 375. Combined with the rotation of the cleaning brush 371, the bird-repelling device has a better self-cleaning effect on the bird-repelling mirror 375, preventing a large amount of dust from accumulating on the surface of the bird-repelling mirror 375, thus preventing the accumulation of dust from affecting the bird-repelling effect of the bird-repelling mirror 375.

[0040] In addition, when the second limiting magnet 383 moves away from the first limiting magnet 35, the second limiting spring 386 drives the squeezing plate 385 back to the initial position. Thus, through the driving action of the second limiting spring 386 and the elastic action of the water spray airbag 34 itself, the water spray airbag 34 is restored to its initial form. During the restoration process of the water spray airbag 34, rainwater in the water storage tank 8 is drawn through the water pumping pipe 388 to prepare for the next rinse, so that the bird deterrent device can rinse the bird deterrent mirror 375 multiple times.
