Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of overhead installation of electric wires or cables, and in particular to an installation device for a bird repeller. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial and agricultural production and the continuous increase in electricity demand, people have higher and higher requirements for the reliability of cable power supply. The phenomenon of cable tripping caused by the increasingly frequent bird activities is increasing. Bird failures have become one of the frequent failures of cables, so it is necessary to artificially add bird repellent devices to protect transmission lines and ensure the reliability of power supply.

[0003] Existing bird repellents are usually fixedly installed on poles or cables, but the bird repelling range of the bird repellent is limited. If the bird repelling range is to be increased, the installation density of the bird repellent needs to be increased, that is, multiple bird repellents need to be installed on the same cable, which is likely to cause excessive pressure on the cable and affect the normal operation of the cable.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the bird-repelling range of the bird-repellent device while ensuring the normal operation of the cable is one of the problems that need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background technology, the object of the present invention is to provide a bird repeller installation device, which can enable the bird repeller to slide along the cable, thereby improving the bird repeller's bird repeller range.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating wheel comprises:

[0017] A central wheel disc, fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft;

[0018] Two side wheel discs are respectively located on both sides of the central wheel disc, and the side wheel discs are connected to the rotating shaft via a spline mechanism;

[0019] A plurality of connecting pieces are distributed between the two side wheel discs in a ring array, and the two ends of the connecting piece are respectively fixed to the side wheel discs on both sides, and the middle part of the connecting piece is fixed to the central wheel disc to form a concave arc surface;

[0020] The adjusting rod is passed through the central wheel disc in the middle, and threads for cooperating with the threads of the two side wheels are respectively arranged on both sides, and the threads on both sides are in opposite directions. As the adjusting rod rotates, the two side wheels move closer to or farther away from each other to change the curvature of the connecting piece.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, both ends of the connecting piece are connected to the side wheel discs by welding, or the middle part of the connecting piece is connected to the center wheel disc by welding.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting platform is provided on the first arc-shaped bracket and the second arc-shaped bracket, and the rotating wheel seat is mounted on the mounting platform.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one of the two rotating wheel mechanisms is provided with a spacing adjustment mechanism to adjust the spacing between the two rotating wheel mechanisms.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the spacing adjustment mechanism includes:

[0025] A slide bar, fixedly mounted on the bottom of the rotating wheel seat, the slide bar is slidably connected to the mounting platform, the end of the slide bar passes through the mounting platform, and a thread is provided on one end of the slide bar close to the rotating wheel seat;

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. The present invention clamps two rotating wheel mechanisms on both sides of the cable, and one of them is driven to rotate by a motor, so that the entire device can be driven to move along the length direction of the cable with the bird repeller, thereby improving the bird repeller range. Installing a bird repeller on a section of cable can achieve a wide range of bird repellers, and can avoid the defect of excessive pressure on the cable itself caused by installing multiple bird repellers.

[0033] 2. The spacing between the two rotating wheel mechanisms of the present application can be adjusted by a spacing adjustment mechanism to adapt to cables of different sizes and improve the versatility of the installation device.

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a bird repellent installation device, which mainly includes two parts: a fixed suspension 1 and a connecting part 2. The two parts are introduced one by one as follows:

[0051] The fixed suspension 1 is used to connect the bird repeller 5 ; specifically, the fixed suspension 1 includes a chassis 11 and a plurality of connecting rods 12 arranged on the periphery of the chassis 11 and extending upward.

[0052] In this embodiment, the chassis 11 is disc-shaped and is fixed to the bird repeller 5 by welding or bonding. Four connecting rods 12 extending upward are arranged on the circumference of the chassis 11, and the upper ends of the connecting rods 12 are bent inward and fixed to the connecting portion 2. The bird repeller 5 can be a sound, light and electricity multifunctional bird repeller.

[0053] The connecting portion 2 is disposed on the top of the fixed suspension 1 and is used for connecting with a cable.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The connecting part 2 includes a first arc bracket 21 and a second arc bracket 22 which are connected in a circumferential sliding manner. The first arc bracket 21 and the second arc bracket 22 are respectively equipped with a rotating wheel mechanism, which are a first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and a second rotating wheel mechanism 3'. At least one of the two rotating wheel mechanisms is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 is arranged on the first arc-shaped bracket 21, and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' is arranged on the second arc-shaped bracket 22, and the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure) as a driving wheel, while the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' is driven by a motor without being driven by a motor. In other embodiments, the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' may be used as a driving wheel alone, or the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' may be used as driving wheels driven by a motor at the same time.

[0056] In order to achieve sliding connection between the first arc bracket 21 and the second arc bracket 22, one of the first arc bracket 21 and the second arc bracket 22 is provided with a sliding groove arranged along the circumferential direction, and the other one is provided with a sliding rail slidably matched with the sliding groove along the circumferential direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped bracket 21 is provided with a dovetail-shaped slide groove 211 , and the second arc-shaped bracket 22 is provided with a matching slide rail 221 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped bracket 21 and the second arc-shaped bracket 22 are of equal length. As the second arc-shaped bracket 22 slides relative to the first arc-shaped bracket 21 , the connecting portion 2 has a first state and a second state.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in the first state, the second arc bracket 22 is aligned with both ends of the first arc bracket 21 to form an opening 23 for the cable 4 to pass through. When the device is installed, the connecting part 2 is first moved in the first state to allow the cable 4 to enter the connecting part 2.

[0060] like Figure 4As shown, in the second state, the second arc bracket 22 and the first arc bracket 21 form a complete ring, and the opening 23 is closed, so that the cable 4 is surrounded, and the device is prevented from falling off the cable 4 in the event of a failure, and the first wheel mechanism 3 and the second wheel mechanism 3' are relatively clamped on both sides of the cable 4. At this time, driven by at least one of the first wheel mechanism 3 and the second wheel mechanism 3', the connecting part 2, the fixed suspension 1 and the connected bird repellent 5 can be moved along the length direction of the cable 4, thereby increasing the bird repelling range of the bird repellent 5.

[0061] If the relative positions of the two rotating wheel mechanisms are offset, the cable 4 cannot be clamped well, and the movement of the device cannot be achieved. In order to avoid this situation, the first arc bracket 21 and the second arc bracket 22 need to be locked in the second state.

[0062] Therefore, the present embodiment adds a locking mechanism to lock the first arc-shaped bracket 21 and the second arc-shaped bracket 22 in the second state.

[0063] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a pin (not shown), a first pin hole 212 formed on the first arc-shaped bracket 21, and a second pin hole 222 formed on the second arc-shaped bracket 22. Figure 4 As shown, in the second state, the first pin hole 212 and the second pin hole 222 are aligned, and the pins are sequentially inserted into the first pin hole 212 and the second pin hole 222, thereby preventing the second arc bracket 22 from sliding relative to the first arc bracket 21.

[0064] The first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' have the same structure, which are collectively referred to as rotating wheel mechanisms. Figure 5 As shown, the rotating wheel mechanism comprises:

[0065] The rotating wheel seat 31 is used to be fixedly connected to the corresponding first arc-shaped bracket 21 or the second arc-shaped bracket 22. Specifically, the rotating wheel seat 31 of the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 is used to be fixedly connected to the first arc-shaped bracket 21, and the rotating wheel seat of the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' is used to be fixedly connected to the second arc-shaped bracket 22;

[0066] A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating wheel seat 31;

[0067] The rotating wheel 33 is disposed on the rotating shaft 32 and rotates along with the rotating shaft 32 .

[0068] In order to facilitate the installation of the wheel mechanism, both the first arc-shaped bracket 21 and the second arc-shaped bracket 22 are provided with a mounting platform, and the wheel seat 31 of the wheel mechanism is installed on the mounting platform. In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped bracket 21 is provided with a first mounting platform 213, which is used to install the first wheel mechanism 3, specifically, it is fixedly connected to the wheel seat 31 of the first wheel mechanism 3; and the second arc-shaped bracket 22 is provided with a second mounting platform 223, which is used to install the second wheel mechanism 3', specifically, it is fixedly connected to the wheel seat 31 of the second wheel mechanism 3'.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that the upper end of the connecting rod 12 is also fixedly connected to the first mounting platform 213 of the first arc-shaped bracket 21 or the second mounting platform 223 of the second arc-shaped bracket 22 .

[0070] Since the size of the cable 4 is different in different places, in order to improve the versatility of the device, it is necessary to design the distance between the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3 ′ to be adjustable.

[0071] At least one of the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3' of the present invention is provided with a spacing adjustment mechanism to adjust the spacing between the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3'. Taking this embodiment as an example, the spacing adjustment mechanism is only installed on the second rotating wheel mechanism 3'. Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the spacing adjustment mechanism comprises:

[0072] A slide rod 35 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the rotating wheel seat 31, the slide rod 35 is slidably connected to the second mounting platform 223, the end of the slide rod 35 passes through the second mounting platform 223 and a thread is provided on one end of the slide rod 35 close to the rotating wheel seat 31;

[0073] The compression spring 36 is disposed between the end of the slide rod 35 and the second mounting platform 223 to provide pressure for the wheel seat 31 toward the second mounting platform 223 .

[0074] The nut 37 is arranged between the wheel seat 31 and the second mounting platform 223 and is threadedly matched with the slide rod 35. Under the action of pressure, the nut 37 is pressed and clamped on the second mounting platform 223, which can fix the distance between the second mounting platform 223 and the wheel seat 31, thereby controlling the distance between the first wheel mechanism 3 and the second wheel mechanism 3' which are relatively arranged.

[0075] When adjusting the spacing, it is only necessary to screw the nut to achieve relative sliding between the second mounting platform 223 and the rotating wheel seat 31 .

[0076] It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure the stability of adjustment, the spacing adjustment mechanism can be provided with several groups arranged in a rectangular array.

[0077] The different sizes of the cables 4 may also cause the contact surface of the rotating wheel 33 and the cables 4 to not fit. In order to avoid this problem, the rotating wheel 33 is improved in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating wheel 33 comprises:

[0078] A central wheel disc 331 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 32;

[0079] Two side wheels 332 are respectively located on both sides of the central wheel 331. The side wheels 332 are connected to the rotating shaft 32 via a spline mechanism, so they can rotate with the rotating shaft 32 and can slide relatively along the length direction of the rotating shaft.

[0080] The connecting pieces 333 are arranged in a circular array between the two side wheels 332, and the two ends of the connecting pieces 333 are respectively fixed to the side wheels 332 on both sides, and the middle of the connecting pieces 333 is fixed to the central wheel 331 to form a concave arc surface. The surfaces of the multiple connecting pieces 333 form an arc surface for fitting with the cable.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that the two ends of the connecting piece 333 are connected to the side wheel discs 332 by welding, or the middle part of the connecting piece 333 is connected to the center wheel disc 331 by welding.

[0082] The adjusting rod 334 is provided with a central wheel disc 331 in the middle, and has threads on both sides for mating with the threads of the two side wheels, and the threads on both sides are in opposite directions. Therefore, as the adjusting rod 334 rotates, the two side wheels 332 move closer to or farther from each other, thereby changing the curvature of the connecting piece 333. Figure 6 As shown, when the two side wheels 332 approach each other, they move to Figure 6 At the position where the middle dotted line is located, the shape of the connecting piece 333 is also deformed as shown by the dotted line, and the curvature increases, and vice versa.

[0083] In order to facilitate the rotation of the adjustment rod 334, the end of the adjustment rod 334 is square.

[0084] like Fig. 9 As shown, when working, the bird repeller 5 is first installed on the fixed suspension 1, and the connecting part 2 is moved so that the cable 4 enters between the two rotating wheel mechanisms (i.e., the first rotating wheel mechanism 3 and the second rotating wheel mechanism 3'), and the installation of the bird repeller 5 is completed. Then, the rotating wheel is driven by the motor to rotate, so that the bird repeller 5 can be moved in the length direction of the cable 4. Generally speaking, the range of movement is the entire section of the cable 4 between the adjacent first tower 6 and the second tower 6'. In order to control this range, an ultrasonic rangefinder can also be set on the bird repeller 5. When it is detected that the distance to any of the towers reaches a threshold (such as 5m), the motor is controlled to reverse and the movement direction of the bird repeller is adjusted.

[0085] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
