Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of safety equipment, and in particular to a bird-repelling device and a bird-repelling method based on directional sound waves and biological warning sounds. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and improvement of the power system, the harm of birds to the power system has long been a difficulty and pain point. The harm of birds to the power system includes the excrement of birds on the transmission line towers. Due to its viscosity and conductivity, it may form a conductive path along the surface of the insulator, causing line flashover accidents, resulting in tripping and power outages. The body of the bird or its activities may cause the air gap of the transmission line to be short-circuited, causing discharge phenomena, causing line tripping, etc., seriously affecting the safety of the power system and the life safety of birds. At present, there are mainly mechanical bird repellers that reflect sunlight, sound and light bird repellers, ultrasonic bird repellers, etc. on the market. For example, the Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN220023981U discloses a double-mirror rotating and retractable bird repeller that repels birds only through a reflector. The above-mentioned bird repellers all have the problem that birds will adapt after long-term use, and the bird repeller effect will be greatly reduced or almost ineffective, especially for large birds of prey such as kestrel and black-winged kite.

[0003] With the development of sound wave technology, ultrasonic and directional sound wave technologies have been derived. The present invention aims to use directional sound wave technology to fit the sounds of some birds of prey and the alarm sounds of birds of prey when they encounter danger, process them into directional sound wave files, and use a directional sound wave generator to direct these sound waves in the form of a narrow-band sound beam to the birds close to the power system, so as to achieve the purpose of driving away the birds. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a bird-repelling device based on directional sound waves and biological warning sounds, aiming to provide an efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent bird-repelling solution.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0007] Recording the alarm calls of specific birds, which are made when birds encounter potential threats or emergencies;

[0008] Perform sound analysis on the recorded alarm calls to extract their acoustic features, including amplitude, frequency, and timbre;

[0009] Based on the extracted acoustic features, a sound synthesis technology is used to generate a sound signal that is similar to the original alarm call but has been adjusted;

[0010] The amplitude and frequency of the generated sound signal are further adjusted to simulate a call with a higher urgency level;

[0011] The adjusted sound signal is sent to the target birds in the form of directional sound waves through a directional wave sounder to achieve the purpose of driving away or warning.

[0012] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0013] Study the ecological habits, behavioral patterns, and vocal communication mechanisms of target birds to determine the best time and location for recording;

[0014] During the sound analysis process, audio processing software is used to filter and denoise the recorded alarm sounds to improve the clarity and accuracy of the sound signals.

[0015] Preferably, the sound signal is controlled by the following steps:

[0016] Intensity control: Adjust the intensity of the sound signal according to the target birds’ sensitivity to sound stimulation and the noise level of the environment, ensuring that the sound signal can effectively convey the warning information without causing the target birds to panic or flee;

[0017] Direction control: Use directional sound wave generators to accurately control the direction of sound signal emission, ensuring that the sound signal can accurately point to the location of the target bird while reducing the impact on non-target areas;

[0018] Time control: According to the activity patterns and living habits of the target birds, the best sending time is selected, and the sound signal is sent during the peak period of bird activity or a specific time period to improve the repelling effect;

[0019] Frequency and waveform adjustment: According to the hearing characteristics of the target birds, the frequency and waveform of the sound signal are fine-tuned to ensure that the sound signal produces the best stimulation effect within the hearing range of the target birds.

[0020] Preferably, the method further includes the steps of looping and randomly changing the sound signal, looping the adjusted sound signal for a period of time, and randomly adjusting certain parameters of the sound signal in each loop to increase the unpredictability of the sound signal and improve the repelling effect.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes an environmental adaptability adjustment step, which dynamically adjusts the intensity, frequency and duration of the sound signal according to the real-time environmental noise level, weather conditions and the response of the target birds, so as to ensure that the sound signal can still effectively convey warning information in a complex and changing environment.

The dual servos enable the directional sound wave sound-generating device to rotate 360° to the left and right and 180° in pitch angle, so that the device can repel birds at all angles and directions, with greater flexibility. The device is fitted with the calls of various birds, including the alarm sounds of birds of prey when they encounter danger, the calls of birds of prey, etc., and these sounds are fitted into high-frequency sound waves and sent to the direction of the birds in the form of directional sound beams, which can effectively repel birds including birds of prey. The LAN wireless communication technology is used to detect the operation of the equipment, which greatly facilitates the operation and maintenance of the directional sound wave bird repellent by the operation and maintenance personnel. The effective application of this device can better drive away birds. The software runs automatically around the clock and no manual maintenance is required. This design ensures that the equipment can continue to operate effectively under various weather conditions, greatly protecting the safe and stable operation of the power system, protecting birds, and well implementing the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
