Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power transmission line safety technology, specifically to a power transmission line anti-snake baffle. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead transmission lines, as a crucial carrier of electricity transmission, are widely distributed across various regions, including plains and mountainous areas. In mountainous environments, snakes commonly climb power line towers. This climbing behavior can cause snakes to accidentally connect components on the tower with different potentials (such as conductors to the tower, or conductors of different phases), potentially triggering short-circuit faults in the overhead line and ultimately causing it to trip, posing a threat to the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0003] To address this issue, maintenance personnel currently primarily try to prevent snakes from climbing power transmission line towers by installing snake spikes or blades. However, in practice, snakes can still bypass these spikes or blades and continue climbing to critical parts of the towers, indicating that these protective measures are not very effective.

[0004] Referring to Chinese patent document CN 111493059 B, entitled "Anti-snake Device for Utility Poles," the device includes a connecting sleeve, a solar panel, a control box, and an anti-snake structure. The anti-snake structure comprises a clamp, a base, and spikes. The solar panel is mounted on the top of the utility pole via the connecting sleeve. The power accumulated by the solar panel powers the entire anti-snake structure through the control box. The anti-snake structure is fixed to the utility pole by the clamp, which has a base. Spikes are rotatably mounted on the base. When a snake climbs onto the utility pole and comes into contact with the anti-snake structure, a battery powers the structure, stunning the snake wrapped around the spikes and preventing it from climbing onto the power line. Simultaneously, the spikes injure the snake, preventing it from wrapping around the spikes and continuing to climb the upper part of the utility pole.

[0005] Referring to the above technical solutions, when snakes climb utility poles, they are physically injured by barbed wire and electric shocks, thus preventing them from continuing to climb. However, barbed wire and electric shocks can easily harm non-target creatures, and some snakes are nationally protected animals that should be protected. Therefore, a new type of snake-proof barrier is needed to solve the problem of snakes climbing utility poles causing short circuits and tripping of power lines. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a snake-proof barrier for power transmission lines. Through innovative structural design, it can more effectively prevent snakes from climbing power transmission line towers without harming snakes or non-target creatures.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a snake-proof barrier for power transmission lines, including a utility pole. Two semi-circular ring plates that can be joined together are provided on the utility pole. An outer fan-shaped barrier for preventing snakes from climbing upward is fixedly installed at the bottom of the semi-circular ring plates. The outer fan-shaped barrier is a curved arc plate that gradually extends outward from top to bottom. A sliding plate for preventing snakes from climbing upward is connected to the bottom of the semi-circular ring plates. The sliding plate is provided with smooth curved protrusions.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the two semi-circular ring plates can be joined together to form a ring that can be stuck on the utility pole. The outward arc of the outer fan-shaped baffle can prevent snakes from climbing up the utility pole. The smoothness of the skateboard surface can further prevent snakes from climbing. Multiple curved protrusions are set. The structural design of the protrusions can reduce the attachment points of snakes during the climbing process, thereby reducing the possibility of snakes successfully climbing.

[0009] Optionally, a storage box is installed on the outer side wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle, and an opening for the storage box is opened on the inner side wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle. An opening and closing plate is fitted onto the opening and closing plate, and a ventilation hole is provided on the opening and closing plate. A handle is installed on the opening and closing plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, substances with snake-repelling effects, such as peppermint and mugwort, can be placed inside the storage box. The scent is released through the ventilation holes, further enhancing the snake-repelling effect.

[0011] Optionally, the inner walls of both the semi-circular ring plate and the sliding plate are fitted with rubber pads that abut against the utility pole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber pad can increase friction and ensure the stability of the entire anti-snake barrier on the utility pole.

[0013] Optionally, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle, and an inner fan-shaped baffle is slidably installed on the groove.

[0014] Optionally, an arc-shaped retaining strip 1 is installed on the inner fan-shaped baffle, and an arc-shaped retaining strip 2 that cooperates with the arc-shaped retaining strip 1 is provided inside the slide groove.

[0015] Optionally, the outer fan-shaped baffle, the sliding plate, the curved protrusion, and the inner fan-shaped baffle are all made of smooth-surfaced aluminum sheet.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove opened on the inner wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle and the slidingly installed inner fan-shaped baffle enable the snake-proof baffle to adapt to utility poles of different diameters, improving its applicability and flexibility. The smooth surface of the aluminum plate material can weaken the snake's climbing ability.

[0017] Optionally, a locking element for locking and fixing the two semicircular ring plates is installed on the semicircular ring plate. The locking element includes a connecting wing installed at the opening of the semicircular ring plate, a threaded rod is provided through the connecting wing, and locking bolts are installed on both sides of the threaded rod.

[0018] Optionally, a rubber pad is provided between the locking bolt and the connecting wing, and a rotating plate is provided on the locking bolt.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking device installed on the semi-circular ring plate can conveniently and quickly lock and fix the two semi-circular ring plates, ensuring the stability of the entire anti-snake baffle during use.

[0020] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The snake-proof barrier for power transmission lines provided by this invention adopts an innovative three-dimensional protective structure design, forming multiple barriers through the combination of an outer fan-shaped barrier and a sliding plate. The outer fan-shaped barrier has a curved arc structure that gradually extends outward from top to bottom, effectively preventing snakes from climbing longitudinally along the pole. The smooth curved protrusions on the surface of the sliding plate can disrupt the snake's gripping force on its abdomen. Combined with the smooth properties of the aluminum plate, a physical anti-climb system is formed. Compared with traditional snake-proof stingers or electric shock devices, this structure ensures snake-proof effect while avoiding physical harm to snakes and non-target organisms, thus meeting ecological protection requirements.

[0021] 2. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove, the first arc-shaped clamping strip, and the second arc-shaped clamping strip, the inner fan-shaped baffle can be slidably adjusted according to the diameter of the utility pole. When the pole diameter exceeds the standard size of the semi-circular ring plate, the inner fan-shaped baffle can accurately fill the splicing gap. Combined with the friction provided by the first rubber pad, it ensures that the device is stably installed.

[0022] 3. The ventilation design of the storage box allows for the continuous volatilization of snake-repelling substances. Natural repellents such as peppermint and mugwort diffuse through the ventilation holes to form an odor barrier and create a biological protective layer. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1-7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a snake-proof barrier for power transmission lines, including a utility pole, a snake-proof barrier assembly 1, a locking component 3, and a storage box 2. The snake-proof barrier assembly 1 includes a semi-circular ring plate 11 and an outer fan-shaped baffle 12. Two interlocking semi-circular ring plates 11 are provided on the utility pole. After the two semi-circular ring plates 11 are interlocked, they can form a ring that is locked onto the utility pole to fix the entire snake-proof barrier. An outer fan-shaped baffle 12 for preventing snakes from climbing upwards is fixedly installed at the bottom of the semi-circular ring plate 11. The outer fan-shaped baffle 12 is a curved arc plate that gradually extends outwards from top to bottom, and the outermost diameter of the outer fan-shaped baffle 12 exceeds 50 centimeters.

[0027] The snake-repellent baffle assembly 1 can effectively prevent snakes from climbing up the utility pole. The locking component 3 is set on the semi-circular ring plate 11 of the snake-repellent baffle assembly 1 and is used to lock and fix the snake-repellent baffle assembly 1 to the utility pole. The storage box 2 is set on the outer fan-shaped baffle 12 of the snake-repellent baffle assembly 1 and is used to place substances with snake-repelling effects such as mint and artemisia.

[0028] Reference Figure 2The snake-proof barrier assembly 1 also includes a sliding plate 13, curved protrusions 14, rubber pads 15, a groove 16, an inner fan-shaped baffle 17, an arc-shaped retaining strip 18, and an arc-shaped retaining strip 19. The bottom of the semi-circular ring plate 11 is connected to a sliding plate 13 to prevent snakes from climbing upwards. The sliding plate 13 is equipped with smooth curved protrusions 14. The smoothness of the sliding plate 13 further prevents snakes from climbing. Multiple curved protrusions 14 are provided; their structural design reduces the attachment points for snakes during climbing, thus lowering the likelihood of successful climbs. The outer fan-shaped baffle 12 and the sliding plate 13 together form a three-dimensional protective system, making it difficult for snakes to break through this multi-layered protection even if they attempt to climb from different angles. The inner walls of both the semi-circular ring plate 11 and the sliding plate 13 are fitted with rubber pads 15 that abut against the utility pole. These rubber pads 15 increase friction, ensuring the stability of the entire snake-proof barrier on the utility pole while preventing wear and tear.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle 12 has a groove 16, on which an inner fan-shaped baffle 17 is slidably installed. The inner fan-shaped baffle 17 can slide within the groove 16. An arc-shaped retaining strip 18 is installed on the inner fan-shaped baffle 17, and an arc-shaped retaining strip 2 19 that cooperates with the arc-shaped retaining strip 18 is provided inside the groove 16. When the diameter of the utility pole is slightly larger than the diameter of the semi-circular ring plate 11, the cooperation of the arc-shaped retaining strip 18 and the arc-shaped retaining strip 2 19 can position the inner fan-shaped baffle 17 in the gap between the two outer fan-shaped baffles 12, ensuring the firmness of the connection. The outer fan-shaped baffle 12, the sliding plate 13, the curved protrusion 14, and the inner fan-shaped baffle 17 are all made of smooth aluminum plate. The smooth surface of the aluminum plate weakens the snake's climbing ability, making it difficult for the snake to find a foothold to climb.

[0030] Reference Figure 6 The storage box 2 is equipped with an opening and closing plate 21, which has ventilation holes 22 and a handle 23. The storage box 2 is located on the outer wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle 12, and an opening is formed on the inner wall of the outer fan-shaped baffle 12. The opening and closing plate 21 is secured to the opening, and the ventilation holes 22 allow odor to be released, further enhancing the snake-repelling effect. The handle 23 facilitates the opening and closing plate 21 for easy access by operators to periodically replace the snake-repelling substance inside the storage box 2. This design is both environmentally friendly and safe, causing no physical harm to snakes and meeting the protection requirements for nationally protected animals.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7The locking component 3 includes a connecting wing 31, a threaded rod 32, a locking bolt 33, a second rubber pad 34, and a rotating plate 35. The connecting wing 31 is installed at the opening of the semi-circular ring plate 11. Each semi-circular ring plate 11 has two connecting wings 31. A through hole is provided on the connecting wing 31, and a threaded rod 32 passes through the through hole. Locking bolts 33 are installed on both sides of the threaded rod 32. The cooperation of the threaded rod 32 and the locking bolts 33 can tightly connect the two semi-circular ring plates 11 together. A second rubber pad 34 is fitted between the locking bolt 33 and the connecting wing 31. The second rubber pad 34 is a soft annular washer, and its soft material enhances the stability between the connecting wing 31 and the locking bolt 33. A rotating plate 35 is provided on the locking bolt 33, which makes locking and disassembling easier and less strenuous for the operator. The locking component 3 adopts a design where the threaded rod 32 passes through the connecting wing 31, and together with the soft rubber pad 34 and the rotating plate 35, it not only ensures the connection strength, but also simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, allowing operators to complete the quick assembly without special tools.

[0032] In actual production, the lengths of the semicircular ring plate 11, connecting wing 31 and sliding plate 13 can be extended according to the actual situation, and the curvature and opening distance of the outer fan-shaped baffle 12 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0033] Working principle: Use locking part 3 to install the anti-snake baffle one meter high at the foot of the utility pole.

[0034] When a snake climbs up from the bottom of the utility pole, it will first come into contact with the slide plate 13 and the curved protrusions 14 on its surface. The smoothness of the slide plate 13 and the curved protrusions 14 reduces the friction between the snake and the slide plate 13. The uneven design of the curved protrusions 14 weakens the snake's climbing ability and prevents it from climbing further. The snake-repelling substances such as mint and artemisia placed in the storage box 2 continuously evaporate through the vent 22, forming an odor barrier that further prevents the snake from climbing. Even if the snake climbs to the top of the slide plate 13, it can be prevented from climbing to the top of the utility pole by the outer fan-shaped baffle 12 and the inner fan-shaped baffle 17.

[0035] The entire snake-proof barrier features a three-dimensional protective structure design, which enhances its snake-proof effect. Compared with traditional technologies, it avoids physical harm to snakes and other non-target organisms, thus meeting ecological protection requirements.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly.
