Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical engineering, and in particular to a transmission line odor bird repellent drone release device. Background Art

[0002] In the daily operation and maintenance of the power system, the bird damage problem faced by the transmission line has always been a major problem that troubles many power workers. The manifestations of bird damage are rich and varied. Among them, the most common situation is that various large birds often choose to land on the crossarms of the transmission line towers for a short rest after going out foraging. During this period, these birds will discharge a large amount of feces. Because bird feces have a certain viscosity and corrosiveness, when they fall on the surface of the insulator, the surface of the insulator will gradually become filthy. Over time, this filth will continue to accumulate, thereby greatly reducing the insulation performance of the insulator. When the insulation performance is reduced to a certain extent, it is very likely to cause a line tripping accident, posing a serious threat to the stable operation of the power system. After careful observation and in-depth analysis of the bird damage fault points on the line, it was found that all bird damage fault points are concentrated on the towers with guy wires or rigid towers. Among them, most of the fault points appear on the porcelain bottle string of the center line of the straight tower and the suspension insulator string of the tension center line jumper. This phenomenon shows that these parts are more susceptible to bird damage than other locations, so they need to be given special attention and strengthened protection in daily maintenance work.

[0003] At present, the conventional way to deal with the problem of bird damage in power transmission lines is to arrange workers to climb the tower to release odor bird repellent. However, this method has many obvious disadvantages. First, climbing the tower is an extremely dangerous task. During the climbing process, workers are faced with various safety risks such as falling from high altitude and electric shock at any time, which poses a serious threat to the life safety of workers. Secondly, climbing the tower takes a lot of time and physical strength. Workers not only need to carry various tools and equipment, but also need to perform complex operations in a high-altitude environment, which makes the work efficiency extremely low. Moreover, during the climbing process, workers may also be affected by various external factors such as weather conditions and topography. For example, under severe weather conditions, the difficulty of climbing the tower will be greatly increased, and it may even be impossible to perform the operation. In addition, different topography will also bring different degrees of difficulty to the work of climbing the tower. Further increase the difficulty and risk of the work. Summary of the invention
