Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bird deterrence device technology, specifically relating to a catapult-type bird deterrence device. Background Technology

[0002] When installing power equipment, especially taller equipment such as transmission towers, specialized bird deterrent devices are usually installed at the top. However, most current bird deterrent devices use bird spikes, while some use wind-powered reflective bird deterrents and voice-activated bird deterrents. Bird spikes are easily corroded by the environment, causing the tips to become blunt and reducing their effectiveness. Wind-powered reflective bird deterrents are bolted to the transmission tower, but the bolts are prone to loosening and damage, and falling objects can easily cause accidents. Voice-activated bird deterrents mainly use sound to scare birds, but over time, birds gradually adapt to the sound and light and are no longer afraid of the installed bird deterrent devices, still nesting or perching above the live conductors at the top of the tower.

[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN115191424A discloses a multifunctional infrared pneumatic bird deterrent device, which includes two device bodies that are arranged opposite each other on the gantry of a substation. The device bodies are equipped with an infrared alarm mechanism, a sound deterrent mechanism, a photoelectric deterrent mechanism and a pneumatic deterrent mechanism. This multifunctional infrared pneumatic bird deterrent device has a complex structure, high cost and is not suitable for installation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a catapult-type bird deterrent device to solve the technical problems of existing multi-functional infrared pneumatic bird deterrent devices being complex in structure, high in cost, and unsuitable for installation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A catapult-type bird deterrent device includes a base extending in a left-right direction, a balance plate, and multiple striking components. The balance plate extends in the same direction as the base, and its middle position is hinged to the base. The striking components are disposed on the front or rear side of the balance plate, with their lower parts hinged to the base. A pull rope is provided on the upper part of the striking components, and the pull rope is connected and fixed to the side of the balance plate. When one end of the balance plate loses balance and sinks, the pull rope is pulled, causing the striking components to sink together and strike the birds. A reset component is provided on the striking components to reset them.

[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with multiple base needles, and the balance plate is provided with needle holes that cooperate with the base needles. When one end of the balance plate loses balance and sinks under the pressure of the bird, the base needles pass through the needle holes and pierce the bird.

[0008] Furthermore, the base needles are arranged in rows evenly on the left and right sides of the base, the lower end of the base needles is connected and fixed to the base, and the upper end of the base needles is spike-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the needle hole is larger than the diameter of the base needle, so that the base needle passes through the needle hole when the balance plate is tilted.

[0010] Furthermore, a support column is provided on the base, the support column is vertically arranged in the middle of the base, the lower end of the support column is connected and fixed to the base, and the upper end of the support column is provided with a hinge hole for hinged to the balance plate. A hinge shaft is provided on the balance plate to cooperate with the hinge hole, and the hinge shaft is located in the middle position below the balance plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the multiple striking components have the same structure. Each striking component includes a second hinge shaft, a third hinge shaft, and a rotating rod. The rotating rod extends in the same direction as the base. The second hinge shaft is located on the left side of the rotating rod, and the third hinge shaft is located on the right side of the rotating rod. The base is provided with hinge holes that mate with the second and third hinge shafts.

[0012] Furthermore, the needle plate is provided with a first pull rope hole for fixing the pull rope, and the balance plate is provided with a second pull rope hole corresponding to the first pull rope hole. The two ends of the pull rope are fixed through the first pull rope hole and the second pull rope hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting rod is connected to the rotating rod, the connecting rod is perpendicular to the rotating rod, and a needle plate is connected to the connecting rod. The needle plate extends in the left and right direction and extends to the outside of the left and right sides of the balance plate. Multiple needle plates are provided on the needle plate to expand the striking range.

[0014] Furthermore, the base, balance plate, and striking assembly are made of a reflective material.

[0015] Furthermore, the reset component is a torsion spring, with its two ends connected and fixed to the base and the rotating rod, respectively, so as to reset the striking assembly.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] The catapult-type bird deterrent device of the present invention has a base that is hinged to a balance plate via a support column. When a bird lands on the balance plate and loses its balance and sinks, it drives the pull rope to pull the striking component, which stimulates the bird and achieves the purpose of driving it away.

[0018] The present invention relates to a catapult-type bird deterrent device in which base needles on the base engage with needle holes on a balance plate. When a bird lands on the balance plate and loses its balance, the base needles on the base pass through the needle holes on the balance plate, stimulating the bird. The falling balance plate and the striking component work in conjunction to achieve a dual stimulation of the bird, preventing any bird from landing on the balance plate.

[0019] The catapult-type bird deterrent device of the present invention has a seesaw structure for the balance plate, which makes it difficult for birds to stand up and for the branches carried by the birds to accumulate on the balance plate, thus making it difficult for birds to build nests.

[0020] The catapult-type bird deterrent device of the present invention has a base, a balance plate and a striking component made of a reflective material, which provides light stimulation to birds under sunlight; in addition, the balance plate itself also sways back and forth in the wind, reflecting light back and forth.

[0021] The present invention relates to a catapult-type bird deterrent device, which has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to install. Attached Figure Description
