Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power protection technology, and in particular to a bird-proof device for power transmission lines and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of the ecological environment and the increasing awareness of wildlife protection, bird activity is becoming more frequent. Overhead transmission line towers, due to their unique structure and location, have become ideal nesting and roosting sites for birds. However, when birds nest on transmission lines, they may use conductive materials such as twigs and wires. If these materials come into contact with the lines, they can cause phase-to-phase short circuits or grounding faults, leading to power outages and affecting the normal operation of the power grid. Furthermore, bird droppings are corrosive and can form conductive paths when they land on insulators, causing insulator flashover and line faults.

[0003] Currently, due to the diversity of tower structures, such as cat-shaped towers and wine glass towers, traditional bird-proof panels face significant challenges in design and application. The unique construction and size variations of these tower types make it impossible to achieve uniform sizes and specifications for traditional bird-proof panels. Specifically, cat-shaped towers have relatively complex structures, potentially including multiple protruding beams and supports, providing convenient conditions for birds to perch and nest. However, this complex structure also makes installation difficult, as the panels need to be customized according to the specific shape and size of the tower to ensure a tight fit and effective blocking of birds. Wine glass towers, with their unique cup-shaped structure and relatively wide tops, provide ample perching space for birds. Traditional bird-proof panels often struggle to find suitable installation locations on these tower types, and the size of the panels also needs to be adjusted accordingly due to differences in the top dimensions, undoubtedly increasing the design and manufacturing costs of bird-proof devices.

[0004] Therefore, due to the different tower shapes, traditional bird protection panels have significant limitations in applicability, and thus need to be improved and optimized. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides a bird-proof device for power transmission lines that is simple in structure, easy to use, and has improved adaptability, as well as a method of using it.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a bird-proof device for transmission lines, comprising at least one base plate, the bottom of the base plate being provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove including a receiving groove located in the middle and a plurality of sliding grooves located around the receiving groove, the sliding grooves communicating with the receiving groove, and a boss located in the middle of the sliding groove, the boss being located inside the receiving groove. A movable rod is slidably installed in the groove, and a connecting hole is opened at the outward end of the movable rod. A notch corresponding to the connecting hole is provided on the substrate. The inward-facing end of the movable rod has a through hole, and several through holes are connected by a second spring, which is located around the boss.

[0007] The substrate comprises at least two substrates, which are detachably connected to each other.

[0008] The substrate has an internal mounting mechanism, which includes a fixed assembly and a movable assembly. The movable group includes a rectangular groove formed on the outer wall of the substrate, a movable block is slidably installed at the bottom of the rectangular groove, the inner wall of the rectangular groove and the movable block are elastically connected by a spring, a sleeve rod is installed on the outer wall of the movable block, and a sleeve rod two is hinged to the top of the sleeve rod one. The fixing assembly includes two protrusions installed on the side of the substrate, and a rectangular rod is provided between the two protrusions. The rectangular rod is connected to the substrate, and a sleeve hole is provided at the top of the rectangular rod. The inner diameter of the sleeve hole is larger than the outer diameter of the first sleeve rod and the second sleeve rod.

[0009] The top of the substrate has an L-shaped groove, the long side of which extends into the corresponding rectangular groove and connects with it. The groove depth of the short side of the L-shaped groove is lower than the groove depth of the long side.

[0010] The active group consists of two sets, respectively arranged on adjacent sides of the substrate. There are two sets of fixing groups, which are respectively arranged on the other two sides of the substrate.

[0011] The substrate has a groove on one side of the movable group, and the groove is used to place the bump.

[0012] The rectangular rod is connected to the base plate by a thread.

[0013] It also includes a bird-proof mechanism, which includes a T-shaped column rotatably mounted on the top of the base plate. Two sets of fan blades and a ring are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the T-shaped column, and the two sets of fan blades and the ring are distributed at intervals.

[0014] Several straight rods are installed on the outer walls of the two sets of rings. Straight rods are hinged to the bottom ends of the straight rods and Y-shaped rods are installed on the outer walls of the straight rods.

[0015] A method for using a bird-proof device for power transmission lines, the method comprising: S1. Equipment preparation: Based on the tower structure of the transmission line, calculate the number of base plates required for the bird protection device, check whether each component of the bird protection device is intact, and ensure that the device is in good condition before installation. S2. Installation location determination: The installation location of bird-proofing devices is determined based on the habitat and nesting habits of birds, as well as the safety requirements of power transmission lines. S3. Device Installation: Install the bird-proof device according to the predetermined installation location and method, and use fixing screws to firmly fix the bird-proof device to the tower body; S4. Inspection and Maintenance: After installation, inspect the bird-proof device to ensure it is securely installed, correctly positioned, and functioning properly. Develop a regular maintenance plan and conduct inspections and maintenance of the bird-proof device.

[0016] In operation, this invention achieves efficient and convenient splicing between substrates through an installation mechanism. The interlocking design of the L-shaped groove and the second sleeve rod allows the substrates to be easily aligned and securely fixed during splicing. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the rectangular rod and the sleeve hole in the fixing assembly further enhances the stability of the splicing. Furthermore, the design of the sliding groove and the moving rod allows the substrate to easily and precisely align with external support structures or mounting components, and be fixed with bolts or other connectors, simplifying the installation process and improving installation flexibility and reliability.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides a bird-proof device for power transmission lines, including at least one base plate 1, and an installation mechanism is provided inside the base plate 1. The mounting mechanism includes a fixed assembly and a movable assembly. There are two movable assemblies, respectively located on adjacent sides of the substrate 1. Each movable assembly includes a rectangular groove 2 formed on the outer wall of the substrate 1. A movable block 4 is slidably mounted at the bottom of the rectangular groove 2. The inner wall of the rectangular groove 2 and the movable block 4 are elastically connected by a spring 5. A sleeve rod 402 is mounted on the outer wall of the movable block 4. A sleeve rod 403 is hinged to the top of the sleeve rod 402. Two L-shaped grooves 101 are formed on the top of the substrate 1, with their long sides extending to opposite sides. The corresponding rectangular groove 2 is connected to the corresponding rectangular groove 2. The groove depth of the short side of the two L-shaped grooves 101 is lower than the groove depth of the long side. There are two fixing groups, which are respectively set on the other two sides of the substrate 1. The fixing group includes two protrusions 102 installed on the side of the substrate 1. A rectangular rod 103 is set in the middle of the two protrusions 102. The rectangular rod 103 is connected to the substrate 1. A sleeve hole 1031 is opened at the top of the rectangular rod 103. The inner diameter of the sleeve hole 1031 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve rod 1 402 and the sleeve rod 2 403.

[0020] The substrate 1 has a groove 401 on one side of the movable assembly. The groove 401 is used to place the protrusion 102 for easy positioning and connection.

[0021] The rectangular rod 103 is connected to the base plate 1 by a thread, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0022] The substrate 1 includes at least two, and adjacent substrates 1 are detachably connected. When it is necessary to splice two substrates 1, the operator can press the second sleeve rod 403 to make it drive the first sleeve rod 402 and the moving block 4 to slide in the rectangular groove 2. Since the long side of the L-shaped groove 101 extends into the rectangular groove 2 and is connected to the rectangular groove 2, while the groove depth of the short side is lower than that of the long side, this design allows the second sleeve rod 403 to be easily bent and inserted into the short side of the L-shaped groove 101 after splicing, thereby effectively preventing the substrates 1 from loosening or falling off.

[0023] The bottom of the substrate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 6. The sliding groove 6 includes a receiving groove in the middle and several sliding grooves around the receiving groove. The sliding grooves are connected to the receiving groove. A boss 3 is provided in the middle of the sliding groove. The boss is located in the receiving groove. A movable rod is slidably installed in the groove, and a connecting hole is opened at the outward end of the movable rod. A notch corresponding to the connecting hole is provided on the substrate. The inward-facing end of the movable rod has a through hole, and several through holes are connected by a second spring, which is located around the boss.

[0024] In application, the sliding groove 6 is cross-shaped (i.e., several sliding grooves are cross-shaped), and the middle of the cross is set as a circle (i.e., the receiving groove is circular). The middle of the sliding groove 6 is a square boss 3, and the boss 3 is located at the center of the circle. Four movable rods 7 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 6. The four movable rods 7 are arranged in a cross shape. The outward end of each of the four movable rods 7 is provided with a connecting hole 702, and the inward end of each of the four movable rods 7 is provided with a through hole 701. The four through holes 701 are elastically connected by a second spring 703. The second spring is located around the boss 3.

[0025] By setting the sliding groove 6 in a unique cross shape with a circular center, ample space and precise guidance are provided for the sliding of the moving rod 7. This not only allows the moving rod 7 to move smoothly within the sliding groove 6, but also ensures the stability and accuracy of the moving rod 7 during movement. The cross-shaped design of the sliding groove 6 also facilitates operation of the moving rod 7 from multiple directions, improving installation efficiency. The four moving rods 7 are arranged in a cross shape, and the base plate 1 has notches corresponding to the connection holes. This design allows the moving rod 7 to easily pass through the base plate 1 when moving outward, connecting with external support structures or mounting components. The elastic connection of the spring 703 not only enhances the stability of the moving rod 7, but also ensures that the moving rod 7 returns to its original position within the sliding groove 6 when no external force is applied. Operators can adjust the position of the moving rod 7 within the sliding groove 6 to achieve precise alignment between the base plate 1 and the external support structure or mounting components. When it is necessary to fix the base plate 1 to the power transmission line or other support structure, simply pull the moving rod 7 outward through the notch and connecting hole, and fix the connecting hole 702 to the support structure using bolts or other connectors. This simplifies the installation process and improves the flexibility and accuracy of installation.

[0026] In this invention, the substrate 1 is installed above the insulator, which can effectively prevent bird droppings, bird nests and other debris from falling onto the insulator, thus ensuring the reliability of the electrical performance of the transmission line.

[0027] It also includes a bird-proof mechanism, which includes a T-shaped post 8 rotatably mounted on the top of the base plate 1. Two sets of fan blades 801 and a ring 802 are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the T-shaped post 8. The two sets of fan blades 801 and the ring 802 are distributed at intervals. Several straight rods 8021 are installed on the outer wall of the two sets of rings 802. Straight rods 80211 are hinged to the bottom ends of the several straight rods 80211. Y-shaped rods 80212 are installed on the outer wall of the several straight rods 80211.

[0028] When wind acts on the device, the T-shaped column 8 drives the fan blade assembly 801 and the ring 802 to rotate together. The rotation of the fan blade assembly 801 generates airflow and sound, which initially drives away the birds. At the same time, the straight rod 8021, straight rod 80211, and Y-shaped rod 80212 on the ring 802 will also swing and cause airflow disturbance under the action of wind, further enhancing the driving-away effect.

[0029] A method for using a bird-proof device for power transmission lines, the method comprising: S1. Equipment preparation: Select appropriate bird-proof devices according to the tower structure and actual environment of the transmission line; ensure that the device conforms to the characteristics of the tower type and can effectively block or drive away birds; check whether each component of the bird-proof device is intact, such as the base plate, and ensure that the device is in good condition before installation. S2. Installation location determination: The installation location of bird-proofing devices should be determined based on the habitat and nesting habits of birds and the safety requirements of power transmission lines. Generally, bird-proofing devices should be installed in areas where birds are likely to perch or nest, such as protruding beams, supports, or tower heads. At the same time, it should be ensured that the installation location will not interfere with the normal operation and maintenance of the power transmission lines. S3. Device Installation: Install the bird protection device according to the predetermined installation location and method, and use fixing screws to firmly fix the bird protection device to the tower body to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off due to wind or other external forces. S4. Inspection and Maintenance: After installation, inspect the bird-proofing device to ensure it is securely installed, correctly positioned, and functioning properly. Develop a regular maintenance plan to inspect and maintain the device. If any damage or loosening is found, repair or replace it promptly to ensure it maintains its effectiveness in preventing bird attacks. Furthermore, adjust the location and type of the bird-proofing device according to actual conditions and changes in bird activity to meet different bird protection needs.

[0030] In the operation of this invention, firstly, the required number of base plates 1 is roughly calculated according to the specific shape and size requirements of the tower. Then, the workers safely bring these base plates 1 to the tower for installation. In the initial state, sleeve rod 1 402 and sleeve rod 2 403 on substrate 1 are located near the center of substrate 1; wherein, sleeve rod 2 403 is inserted into the short side groove of L-shaped groove 101 by bending at ninety degrees. When multiple substrates 1 need to be spliced ​​together, sleeve rod 2 403 is disengaged from the L-shaped groove 101. Under the strong rebound of spring 5, sleeve rod 2 403 drives sleeve rod 1 402 and moving block 4 to move synchronously. At this time, the rectangular rod 103 on another substrate 1 is brought close to and aligned with sleeve rod 2 403, and then the rectangular rod 103 is easily inserted into sleeve rod 2 403. Squeeze sleeve rod 2 403 inward again, so that moving block 4, sleeve rod 1 402 and sleeve rod 2 403 all move inward, and drive the rectangular rod 103 to move together, so that the two substrates 1 are tightly inserted and spliced ​​together. Finally, sleeve rod 2 403 is bent again and inserted into the short side groove of L-shaped groove 101 to effectively prevent accidental contact and ensure the stability of splicing. As needed, substrates 1 can be added for splicing to meet the needs of tower construction. Once all the required substrates 1 are assembled, the movable rod 7 at the bottom of substrate 1 is pulled outward, and the connecting hole 702 is fixedly connected to the tower body using bolts, thus achieving a stable connection between substrate 1 and tower body. This not only improves the overall stability of the tower body but also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. In addition, the tower also has excellent wind protection and bird deterrence functions; when the wind blows, the wind drives the fan blade assembly 801 to rotate, which in turn drives the T-shaped column 8, the ring 802, and the straight rod 8021, straight rod 80211 and Y-shaped rod 80212 installed on the outer wall of the ring 802 to rotate together; this rotation effectively deters birds, reduces the potential threat of birds to the tower, and ensures the safe and stable operation of the tower.
