[0024] The lower end of the spherical crown 5 is provided with a mounting base 8 for mounting the device on the cross arm of the power tower.

[0025] Specifically, the top plate 2 is a circular arc surface structure with an opening facing downward, which is used to prevent rainwater from remaining, and the outer edge size of the circular arc surface structure is larger than the outer diameter of the inverted spherical crown, which is used to reduce the rainwater entering the mechanical structures such as the spherical surface 3 and the spherical crown 5 or between them.

[0026] Specifically, a plurality of uniformly distributed rolling balls 11 are embedded on the inner side wall of the spherical crown 5, which is used to ensure the flexible and free rotation of the spherical surface 3 along the spherical crown 5 and ensure the smooth operation of the bird repelling work.

[0027] Specifically, the bottom of the spherical crown 5 is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed drainage holes 12 for rainwater drainage to prevent rainwater accumulation, and the drainage holes 12 are arranged without interfering with the rolling balls 11.

[0028] Specifically, the loudspeaker is an active loudspeaker, which has a power amplifier, is convenient, simple, compact in structure and small in space occupation. At this time, the battery is connected with the voltage stabilizing module, the voltage stabilizing module is connected with the microprocessor, the digital gyroscope and the active loudspeaker, and the microprocessor is connected with the digital gyroscope and the active loudspeaker.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting base 8 includes a U-shaped mounting plate 81 with a horizontal opening, two long waist holes are arranged at the two outer ends of the U-shaped mounting plate 81, a long bolt 82 is arranged between the two long waist holes, the threaded end of the long bolt 82 is connected with a fastening nut 83 after penetrating through the two long waist holes, and the fastening position of the long bolt 82 and the fastening nut 83 is moved to realize the mounting and fixing of cross arms with different sizes.

[0030] Specifically, a reinforcing rib A6 is arranged between the spherical crown 6 and the U-shaped mounting plate 81 located below the spherical crown 6.

[0031] Specifically, a reinforcing rib B4 is arranged between the spherical surface 3 and the lower end of the top plate 2 located above the spherical surface 3.

[0032] Specifically, the reinforcing rib B4 is provided with an annular groove 9 arranged to match the trajectory of the spherical crown 5 when the spherical surface 3 rotates freely, that is, during the rotation of the top plate 2, when the annular groove 9 is rotated to the upper end of the spherical crown 5, the upper end of the spherical crown 5 is just inserted into the annular groove 9, which blocks the continuous rotation of the spherical surface 3, better limits the rotation range of the spherical surface 3, and an elastic buffer pad 10 is arranged at the bottom of the annular groove 9, which is used to effectively buffer the impact of the spherical crown 5 on the reinforcing rib 4.

[0033] Specifically, the lower end surface of the counterweight 7 matches the bottom of the spherical surface 3, and the counterweight 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spherical surface 3.

[0034] In the implementation, the digital gyroscope has an interrupt function, and only needs to connect the INT pin electrical signal of the digital gyroscope to an external interrupt pin of the microprocessor; in the sleep state, the microprocessor is in a deep sleep mode most of the time, and the power consumption can be as low as tens of microamperes; meanwhile, the digital gyroscope itself can also be configured as a low-power motion wake-up mode, so as to reduce the power consumption of the circuit, prolong the battery use time, and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0035] Specifically, the working process of the sound bird repelling circuit provided by the application is a high-efficiency cycle of "sleep-detection-wake-up-work-return to sleep", and specifically includes the following four stages.

[0036] Stage one, initialization and standby sleep (extremely low power consumption): 1. Power-on start: the battery provides stable voltage for the microprocessor and the digital gyroscope through a voltage stabilizing module; 2. Microprocessor initialization: configure the pin connected to the loudspeaker as an output mode, initialize the I 2 C communication, prepare for a dialogue with the digital gyroscope, configure the microprocessor pin connected to the INT pin of the digital gyroscope as an input mode, enable the external interrupt function of the pin, and associate it with an interrupt service program; 3. Digital gyroscope initialization: the microprocessor sends a configuration command to the digital gyroscope through I 2 C, sets the threshold value (angular velocity), tells the digital gyroscope how much rotation needs to be reported, and enables the motion detection terminal or arbitrary motion interrupt function of the digital gyroscope, and routes the internal interrupt signal to the physical INT pin; 4. Enter sleep: after the initialization is completed, the microprocessor executes a special sleep instruction, at this time the microprocessor enters a deep sleep mode, the digital gyroscope continues to monitor the angular velocity in a low-power mode, and compares the real-time detection value with the preset threshold value, and the loudspeaker is completely silent without driving signal and does not consume power.

[0037] Stage two, event triggering and hardware wake-up: 1. Rotation occurs: birds fly onto the bird repelling thorn 1; 2. Threshold value judgment: the angular velocity data detected by the digital gyroscope exceeds the preset threshold value; 3. Signal triggering: the digital gyroscope immediately generates an explicit level change on its INT pin, such as jumping from low level to high level; 4. Hardware interrupt: the level change is captured by the external interrupt pin of the microprocessor; 5. Immediate wake-up: the interrupt controller of the microprocessor forces the CPU to immediately exit the sleep mode, restores the normal clock and power supply, and jumps to the pre-set interrupt service program to start execution.

[0038] Stage three, response and execution tasks (full-featured work): 1, interrupt service program: respond to the interrupt as soon as possible, and inform the main loop; 2, main loop recovery execution: after the microprocessor wakes up, it will continue to execute from the sentence after the main loop enters sleep, and start processing the rotation event; 3, read data: through I 2 C bus reads detailed angular velocity data from digital gyroscope; 4, drive the speaker: the microprocessor outputs a PWM signal on the pin connected to the speaker, which makes the speaker emit a preset sound through the speaker's built-in drive circuit; 5, clean up the scene: clear the interrupt flag of the digital gyroscope, telling it "I have finished processing and can prepare for the next detection", and clear the flag in the program.

[0039] Stage four, task machine ends and returns to sleep: 1, after the sound is played, the code in the main loop is executed; 2, the program flow runs to the sleep instruction again; 3, the microprocessor enters deep sleep mode again, and the overall power consumption drops to a very low level instantaneously; 4, the digital gyroscope continues to monitor the angular velocity in low-power mode, waiting for the next rotation to occur.

[0040] After the above installation is completed, the invention can be put into use. When a bird lands on the bird repelling spike 1, the self-balancing provided by the counterweight 7 between the spherical surface 3 and the spherical crown 5 is broken, the top plate 3 drives the bird repelling spike 1 to rotate downward, and the bird loses support and immediately flies away, achieving an instantaneous bird repelling effect. At the same time, the digital gyroscope detects that the threshold exceeds the occurrence in real time, triggers and wakes up the microprocessor, which immediately exits the sleep mode and makes the speaker emit a preset sound through the drive circuit, further improving the bird repelling effect.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
