Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bird repelling equipment, and particularly to a bird repelling vehicle for airports. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, domestic airports have successively applied ecological management technologies to the work of preventing bird strikes at airports. Through the control of the ecological environment, a new concept of active bird prevention is used to explore bird repelling work. According to the analysis results of the research work on the surrounding bird situation, biological, physical, chemical and other prevention and control measures are flexibly and comprehensively applied according to time, place and object, creating an environment unfavorable for the survival of birds within the airport area, reducing the adaptability of birds to the airport environment, and reducing the food sources of birds, achieving certain effects, but still unable to eliminate bird hazards.

[0003] Traditional bird strike prevention work can be generally summarized as mainly relying on bird repelling personnel to actively patrol and repel birds, supplemented by arranging bird detection radars, optoelectronic bird detection equipment, and bird repelling equipment. Firecrackers, titanium thunder bombs, gas cannons, scary eyes, bird-catching nets and other equipment are the most commonly used bird repelling equipment at Chinese airports. Traditional bird strike prevention work tends to be passive, treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and there are also defects such as birds not leaving after being repelled and sounds not scaring them away. Moreover, especially for some large airports, the investment in personnel and equipment is extremely high and the efficiency is low.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background art section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information constitutes the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0021] Unless explicitly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term “comprise” or variations such as “include” or “comprising”, etc., will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or components.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a bird-scaring vehicle for airports according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle body 1, the chassis of which is a pickup truck chassis. The vehicle body includes a cab 2 and a rear compartment 3. It also includes a dual-light camera 4, a pan / tilt head 5, a bird-scaring cannon 6, and a display and control console 7.

[0023] Specifically, the pan-tilt head 5 and the bird-repelling cannon 6 are arranged in the rear compartment 3. The rear compartment 3 is equipped with a truck bed 8, which extends toward the roof of the vehicle body 1. The pan-tilt head 5 is mounted on the portion of the truck bed 8 that extends to the roof. A dual-light camera 4 and an ultrasonic transmitter 9 are mounted on the pan-tilt head 5 and are used to detect and identify flocks of birds and emit image detection signals. The dual-light camera 4 is a visible light + infrared thermal imaging dual-light camera. The bird-repelling cannon 6 is mounted on the truck bed 8, located in the rear compartment 3, and is used to disperse birds. The display and control console 7 is located in the cab 2, on the co-pilot seat. The display and control console 7 is interconnected with the dual-light camera 4, the pan-tilt head 5, and the bird-repelling cannon 6 via the CAN bus.

[0024] The display and control console 7 controls the pan-tilt head 5 to rotate, driving the dual-light camera 4 and the ultrasonic transmitter 9 to rotate, adjusting the angle to aim at the area to obtain image information of different areas. The control system of the display and control console 7 identifies birds based on the image information emitted by the dual-light camera 4, and sends a control signal to the bird-repelling cannon 6 to control the operation of the bird-repelling cannon 6.

[0025] Preferably, when the gimbal is in working state, the horizontal rotation speed is 0.01°-5° / S, the pitch speed is 0.01-5° / S, the rotation angle is 0-360° with unlimited rotation horizontally, and -30°-90° for pitching.

[0026] Preferably, it also includes ultrasonic transmitters 9, which are arranged on both sides of the pan-tilt platform 5 and are used to emit sound waves to disperse the flock of birds.

[0027] When using the bird repellent vehicle of the present invention for bird repellent, it can be divided into self-checking and self-shooting bird repellent and manual checking and shooting bird repellent.

[0028] 1. The working mode of self-checking and self-shooting bird repellent is as follows:

[0029] 1) The bird repellent operator drives the vehicle around the airport perimeter and controls the peak bird situation period.

[0030] 2) The area where the pan-tilt rotates to drive the dual-light camera to aim at is: the area inside the airport, 100 meters above the airport elevation during the takeoff and climb phases, and 60 meters above the airport elevation during the approach and landing phases; the adjacent area of the airport, 100 meters - 450 meters above the airport elevation during the climb to the cruise phase, and 60 meters - 300 meters above the airport elevation during the approach and landing phases.

[0031] 3) The pan-tilt is set at a horizontal angle of about 150° and rotates automatically in a circuit. The responsible areas inside and outside the airport perimeter are controlled. Analyze the bird situation, drones, and air defense issues within the area with a horizontal height of 500m and a length of 300m, and capture the images and send them back to the backend management platform.

[0032] 4) Actively identify the unknown floating objects in the imaging system. When the unknown floating objects are identified, the imaging system flashes red and alarms, and shoots videos and pictures for archiving and uploads them to the control system of the display console. The control system analyzes them and then triggers the switch of the launch module of the control system to launch the bird repellent cannon or the sound wave emitter to emit sound waves.

[0033] 5) During the identification process, the dual-head camera imaging system zooms in on the floating objects independently, takes pictures for archiving, and gives alarm prompts, etc.

[0034] 6) During the driving process of the bird repellent vehicle, the visible light camera shall not have the phenomenon of blurred imaging system and excessive delay when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to 25 km / h.

[0035] 7) Automatically switch to the night mode and turn on the infrared thermal imaging system independently. The requirements of the infrared thermal imaging are the same as those of the visible light camera in terms of judgment ability.

[0036] 8) Automatically track the floating objects. The floating objects are locked by the square frame in the imaging system, and the pan-tilt follows automatically.

[0037] 9) The system automatically identifies the floating objects, takes pictures and records videos and uploads them to the control system of the display console.

[0038] 10) Automatically focus on the blurred images.

[0039] 11) When the system identifies the floating objects, it automatically launches the bird repellent cannon / directional sound wave.

[0040] 12) Immediately launch the first shot after identifying the floating object, and launch the second shell after an interval of 3 - 5 s. The number of shells launched at one time is 2 - 3, and then decide whether to continue launching.

[0041] 2. Manual search and shooting for bird repelling are as follows:

[0042] Manually search for flocks of birds, and manually operate the display console to launch bird repelling shells to drive away the birds, reducing the probability of accidents caused by bird flocks.

[0043] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for purposes of illustration and exemplification. These descriptions are not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it is apparent that many changes and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.
