Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle applications, and specifically relates to an installation device and an assembly and disassembly method of a bird repellent based on an unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Background Art

[0002] In the natural environment, birds choose to build nests in high places as part of their survival instinct. However, with the development of human society and the expansion of power grids, more and more birds choose to build nests on transmission line towers. This behavior not only poses a threat to the safety of the birds themselves, but also brings many hidden dangers to the stable operation of the power system.

[0003] The materials used by birds to build nests, such as branches and grass stems, are all conductors, which can easily cause short circuits in transmission lines under humid or rainy conditions. Once a short circuit occurs, it will directly lead to power outages, and in severe cases may even cause fires. Long-term accumulation of bird droppings will reduce the insulation performance of the insulator surface and increase the risk of flashover (the phenomenon of electric arcs crossing air gaps), which will in turn affect the safety and reliability of the power grid. Bird activities may cause the line to swing more severely, especially in strong winds, which may cause collisions or contacts between lines, thereby damaging power equipment.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, many power companies have begun to use bird repellers to prevent birds from approaching transmission line towers. Bird repellers interfere with bird roosting behavior by emitting ultrasonic waves and simulating the calls of natural enemies, effectively reducing the time birds stay in dangerous areas, thereby reducing the probability of safety accidents caused by bird activities.

[0005] Bird repellents can significantly reduce power failures caused by bird activities and ensure the normal operation of the power grid. Reasonable bird repellent measures can guide birds to choose safer places to build nests, which not only protects the lives of birds but also maintains ecological balance. This reduces power outage time and maintenance costs, improves the efficiency of power supply, and indirectly promotes economic development.

[0006] Although bird repellers have achieved good results in practical applications, most bird repellers on the market still have some shortcomings, mainly manifested in the fact that the installation process requires workers to climb high. For transmission line towers located at high altitudes, manually installing bird repellers is an extremely challenging task. High-altitude operations not only increase the physical burden on workers, but also carry potential risks such as falling and electric shock. Since each tower needs to be installed separately, the whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in large-scale power grid systems, where rapid deployment is difficult to achieve. Over time, bird repellers may fail or age, and their inspection and replacement also require a lot of manpower and material resources. Summary of the invention

The present application can carry the bird repellent upward via a drone and assemble and disassemble the bird repellent without the need for manual high-altitude operations, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the bird repellent, reducing labor intensity, and improving safety.

[0038] Depend on Figure 4As shown, the installation device of the bird repellent based on the drone platform includes a connecting device 2, which has the same number as the horizontal rod 105 of the bird repellent 1 and is used for detachably connecting with the horizontal rod 105. The connecting device 2 includes a clamp 201 with an open lower end and a slider 202 fixedly connected above the clamp 201. The slider 202 is provided with a threaded hole that penetrates, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected with the screw 402. The clamp 201 is two elastic members arranged opposite to each other, and the middle part of the elastic member protrudes inward. In the free state, the middle protruding parts of the two elastic members abut against each other.

[0039] Depend on Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting device 4 is arranged above the connecting device 2, and is threadedly connected to the connecting device 2 through a screw 402, and is used to adjust the relative position of the connecting device 2. The adjusting device 4 includes a gear box 401, and an adjusting gear set 404 is rotatably arranged inside the gear box 401. The end of the screw 402 is passed through the gear box 401 and fixed with a first bevel gear 4021, and the first bevel gear 4021 is meshed and connected with the adjusting gear set 404.

[0040] The gear box 401 is rotatably connected to the outside with an adjustment handle 403, the rotation shaft of the adjustment handle 403 is passed through the inside of the gear row 401 and fixed with a second bevel gear 4031, and the second bevel gear 4031 is meshed and connected with the adjustment gear set 404.

[0041] The mounting module 5 is fixedly connected to the adjusting device 4 and is used for detachable connection with the pod interface of the UAV.

[0042] The detection unit 6 is connected to the mounting module 5 and is used to detect the relative position between the magnetic base 101 of the bird repeller 1 and the top crossbeam of the transmission tower. In this embodiment, the detection unit 6 can use a camera arranged downward, and the camera's shooting picture includes the magnetic base 101.

[0043] In order to prevent the magnetic base 101 from rotating during transportation, a positioning device 3 is provided between the connecting device 2 and the adjusting device 4. Figure 3 As shown, a guide rod 305 is fixed to the outside of the positioning device 3 , and the guide rod 305 is arranged in parallel with the screw rod 402 , and the guide rod 305 passes through a through hole on the slider 202 .

[0048] A method for installing and disassembling a bird repellent is based on the above-mentioned bird repellent installation device based on a drone platform, comprising the following steps:

[0049] The installation process is:

[0050] S1, mount the drone pod through the mounting module 5;

[0051] S2, clamping the clamp 201 of the connecting device 2 onto the corresponding horizontal rod 105 of the bird repeller 1, ensuring that the magnetic base 101 of the bird repeller 1 is arranged horizontally;

[0052] S3, take off the drone, drive the bird repeller 1 to move upward, and observe the position of the magnetic base 101 through the cooperation between the conception unit and the detection unit of the drone. When the magnetic base 101 is hoisted to the top of the crossbeam of the transmission tower, lower the drone so that the magnetic base 101 falls on the crossbeam of the transmission tower and is fixed by magnetism.

[0053] The disassembly process is:

[0055] When the bird repeller 1 needs to be disassembled, the drone flies above the bird repeller 1, then moves down until the bottom of the clamping rod is lower than the horizontal rod 105, so that the clamping rod can stop the rotating horizontal rod 105. Through the camera observation, after the horizontal rod 105 stops, the drone continues to move down until the clamp 201 clamps the horizontal rod 105 of the bird repeller 1. Then turn on the electromagnet on the clamp 201, adjust the current, so that the magnetic force of the electromagnet is greater than the suction force between the magnetic base 101 of the bird repeller 1 and the cross beam of the iron tower. Then the drone takes off upward, removes the bird repeller 1 from the cross beam of the iron tower, and completes the disassembly process of the bird repeller 1.

[0056] The implementation methods of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
