Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power operation technology, specifically to a bird deterrent installation device. Background Technology

[0002] In high-altitude areas, grasslands, or areas with sparse vegetation, trees are scarce along power lines, resulting in a lack of suitable natural nesting sites for birds. Therefore, birds tend to build their nests on the crossarms of nearby power poles. These nests often contain conductive materials such as wire and metal cords. When these materials fall off or are blown by strong winds, they can easily become lodged between phase lines or between a phase line and a crossarm, causing phase-to-phase short circuits or single-phase grounding faults, leading to line tripping. In recent years, the frequency of power grid line faults caused by bird nests has been on the rise, seriously affecting the reliability of the power grid.

[0003] To address this issue, the common practice is to install bird deterrents on crossarms. However, the installation of existing bird deterrents usually requires a power outage. This not only increases the number of planned power outages, contradicting the fundamental goal of improving power supply reliability, but also incurs additional power outage losses and operational costs for power supply companies. Furthermore, the power outage operation itself requires coordinating the outage time, reducing work efficiency, and working at heights poses certain safety risks.

[0004] Existing bird deterrents are typically fixed to the angle steel of a crossarm via a support rod with a U-shaped clamp, and the bottom of the clamp is secured with bolts and lock nuts. However, when the power is on, there is a lack of specialized tools that allow ground workers to safely and efficiently tighten the bolts and lock nuts. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a specialized device that enables the safe, rapid, and reliable installation of bird deterrents while power lines are energized. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bird deterrent installation device that eliminates the need for power outage plans during installation, significantly improving the power supply reliability of the power distribution network. Furthermore, this device enables the simultaneous installation and fixing of bolts and lock nuts, greatly saving time and increasing efficiency. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A bird repeller mounting device includes a clamp at the bottom of a support rod of the bird repeller, a bolt for fixing and a locking nut to prevent the bolt from rotating at the lower end of the clamp, and a drive rod made of insulating material. The upper end of the drive rod is connected to a drive sleeve, and the upper end of the drive sleeve is connected to an inner sleeve for rotating the bolt. An inner shell is connected to the outer side of the drive sleeve, and an outer sleeve for rotating the locking nut is fitted on the outer side of the inner shell. The outer sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the inner sleeve, and a positioning mechanism for fixing the bird repeller is fitted on the outer side of the inner shell.

[0006] Preferably, the outer side of the drive sleeve is fitted with a second drive ring that drives the inner sleeve to rotate, and the upper end of the inner shell is connected with a release sleeve for positioning the inner sleeve. When the bolt is tightened at the bottom of the crossbeam angle steel, the second drive ring and the inner sleeve rotate relative to each other. Preferably, the bottom of the second drive ring is connected to the drive sleeve via a second spring, the upper end of the second drive ring is provided with a second drive ball, the lower end of the inner sleeve is fitted with a second drive disc, and the bottom of the second drive disc is provided with a second drive groove that cooperates with the second drive ball.

[0007] Preferably, the second drive disk is located between the inner shell and the release sleeve, and the inner shell and the release sleeve are threaded together. Preferably, the outer side of the inner shell is fitted with a first drive ring for driving the outer sleeve, and the outer side of the inner shell is connected to a shell for positioning the outer sleeve. When the locking nut is pressed against the bottom of the clamp, the first drive ring and the outer sleeve rotate relative to each other.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the first drive ring is connected to the inner shell via a first spring, the upper end of the first drive ring is provided with a first drive ball, the lower end of the outer sleeve is fitted with a first drive disc, and the bottom of the first drive disc is provided with a first drive groove that cooperates with the first drive ball.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the inner shell is provided with a boss, the first drive disk is located between the boss and the outer shell, and the outer shell and the inner shell are threaded together.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting ring is fitted on the outer side of the drive sleeve, and the connecting ring is connected to the inner shell by screws.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a base plate, the outer shell passes through the base plate, the outer shell and the base plate are connected by a bearing, one end of the base plate is connected to a support plate, and a height-adjustable clamping plate is connected above the support plate. The clamping plate is provided with a clearance groove that cooperates with the bird deterrent device.

[0012] Preferably, a stud is connected to the side wall of the support plate and a positioning pin is embedded therein. The end of the positioning pin is hemispherical. The bottom of the positioning pin is connected to the support plate by a spring. One end of the clamping plate is connected to a pull plate. The side wall of the pull plate is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the support plate. The guide groove is provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the stud. A locking nut is provided on the stud.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention uses an insulated drive rod to ensure that workers can maintain a safe distance from live lines, fundamentally avoiding the risk of electric shock at heights; this device makes bird deterrent installation no longer dependent on power outage plans and can be carried out at any time, greatly reducing the number of planned power outages caused by bird deterrent installation and significantly improving the power supply reliability of the power distribution network; moreover, this device can simultaneously install and fix bolts and lock nuts, greatly saving time and improving efficiency.

[0014] 2. This invention achieves precise control of the tightening torque of the bolts and locking nuts through the first and second drive rings. When the bolt is tightened to the preset torque, the second drive mechanism slips, ensuring continued rotation of the locking nut. When the locking nut is tightened to the bottom of the clamp and reaches the preset torque, the first drive mechanism also slips. This overload protection mechanism effectively prevents the clamp of the bird deterrent device (usually made of plastic) from being crushed due to excessive torque, ensuring installation reliability and protecting the device itself.

[0015] 3. The present invention is equipped with a special positioning mechanism. The bird deterrent device can be reliably clamped and fixed before the pole is raised by the clamping plate with the clearance groove. This ensures that the bird deterrent device will not shake or fall off during the lifting and installation process, which greatly simplifies the operation process and reduces the difficulty of operation and the risk of falling.

[0016] 4. The drive rod and drive sleeve, as well as the inner shell and connecting ring of this invention, are detachable connections (such as screws). Different lengths of insulating rods can be flexibly replaced according to the height of the crossarm on site, enhancing the tool's adaptability. Simultaneously, by rotating the release sleeve and outer shell, the slippage torque of the inner and outer sleeves can be adjusted separately to accommodate bolts and nuts of different specifications and to protect clamps of different materials, making it extremely versatile.

Detailed Implementation

[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 Figure 1 As shown, a bird repeller 1 installation device is provided. The bottom of the support rod 101 of the bird repeller 1 is connected to a U-shaped clamp 102. The clamp 102 is clamped on the angle steel of the crossbeam. The lower end of the clamp 102 is connected to a bolt 103 for fixing and a locking nut 104 to prevent the bolt 103 from rotating.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the installation device includes a drive rod 3, with a drive sleeve 5 connected to the upper end of the drive rod 3. The drive rod 3 is an insulated rod. The upper end of the drive sleeve 5 is connected to an inner sleeve 14 of a rotating bolt 103. An inner shell 6 is connected to the outer side of the drive sleeve 5. An outer sleeve 13 of a rotating locking nut 104 is fitted onto the outer side of the inner shell 6. The outer sleeve 13 is fitted onto the outer side of the inner sleeve 14. A positioning mechanism 2 for fixing the bird deterrent 1 is fitted onto the outer side of the inner shell 6. The inner sleeve 14 engages with the head of the bolt 103, driving the bolt 103 to rotate. The outer sleeve 13 is fitted onto the outer side of the locking nut 104, driving the locking nut 104 to rotate.

[0021] The outer side of the drive sleeve 5 is fitted with a second drive ring 11 that drives the inner sleeve 14 to rotate. The upper end of the inner shell 6 is connected to a release sleeve 12 that positions the inner sleeve 14. When tightening the bolt 103, the drive rod 3 drives the drive sleeve 5 to rotate, the drive sleeve 5 drives the second drive ring 11 to rotate, the second drive ring 11 drives the inner sleeve 14 to rotate, and the inner sleeve 14 drives the bolt 103 to rotate. When the bolt 103 is pressed against the bottom of the crossbeam angle steel and tightened, if the drive rod 3 is continued to rotate, the second drive ring 11 and the inner sleeve 14 will rotate relative to each other, and the inner sleeve 14 will no longer apply a greater tightening force to the bolt 103. To achieve the above function, the bottom of the second drive ring 11 is connected to the drive sleeve 5 via a second spring 10, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the second drive ring 11 is provided with a second drive ball 1101, and the second drive ball 1101 and the second drive ring 11 are integrally formed. The lower end of the inner sleeve 14 is fitted with a second drive disc 1401, which is located between the inner shell 6 and the release sleeve 12. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the second drive disk 1401 is provided with a second drive groove 1402 that cooperates with the second drive ball 1101. The second drive ball 1101 cooperates with the second drive groove 1402, which enables the second drive ring 11 to drive the inner sleeve 14 to rotate, and the inner sleeve 14 to drive the bolt 103 to rotate. When the bolt 103 cannot rotate, the second spring 10 is compressed, the second drive ball 1101 is dislodged from the second drive groove 1402, and relative rotation occurs between the second drive ring 11 and the second drive disk 1401.

[0022] The inner shell 6 and the release sleeve 12 are threaded together. By adjusting the pressure of the release sleeve 12 on the second drive disk 1401, the torque of the relative rotation between the second drive ring 11 and the second drive disk 1401 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the pressure of the bolt 103. A first drive ring 8 is fitted on the outer side of the inner shell 6 to drive the outer sleeve 13. The outer shell 9 is connected to the outer side of the inner shell 6 to position the outer sleeve 13. The outer sleeve 13 can drive the locking nut 104 to rotate, rotating the locking nut 104 to the bottom of the clamp 102, thereby locking the locking bolt 103. When the locking nut 104 is pressed against the bottom of the clamp 102 and can no longer rotate, the first drive ring 8 and the outer sleeve 13 rotate relative to each other.

[0023] The driving method is the same as that of the inner sleeve 14, specifically: the bottom of the first driving ring 8 is connected to the inner shell 6 via the first spring 7, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the first drive ring 8 is provided with a first drive ball 801, as... Figure 5As shown, the lower end of the outer sleeve 13 is fitted with a first drive disc 1301. The bottom of the first drive disc 1301 is provided with a first drive groove 1302 that mates with the first drive ball 801. The outer side of the inner shell 6 is provided with a boss 601. The first drive disc 1301 is located between the boss 601 and the outer shell 9. The first drive ball 801 mates with the first drive groove 1302, enabling the first drive ring 8 to drive the outer sleeve 13 to rotate, thereby rotating the locking nut 104. When the locking nut 104 touches the bottom of the clamp 102 and cannot rotate, the first drive ball 801 disengages from the first drive groove 1302, and the first drive ring 8 and the first drive disc 1301 rotate relative to each other.

[0024] The outer shell 9 and the inner shell 6 are threaded together. By adjusting the pressure of the outer shell 9 on the first drive disk 1301, the torque of the relative rotation between the first drive ring 8 and the first drive disk 1301 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the clamping force of the locking nut 104 and preventing the locking nut 104 from damaging the clamp 102 (usually made of plastic).

[0025] The outer side of the drive sleeve 5 is fitted with a connecting ring 501, which is connected to the inner shell 6 by screws. The drive rod 3 is also connected to the drive sleeve 5 by screws. Different lengths of drive rod 3 can be selected according to requirements.

[0026] The positioning mechanism 2 includes a base plate 201, a housing 9 extending through the base plate 201, and a bearing 4 connecting the housing 9 and the base plate 201. A support plate 202 is connected to one end of the base plate 201, and a height-adjustable clamping plate 207 is connected above the support plate 202. Figure 3 As shown, the clamping plate 207 is provided with a relief groove 208 that cooperates with the bottom support rod 101 of the bird deterrent device 1.

[0027] A stud 203 is connected to the side wall of the support plate 202 and a positioning pin 205 is embedded therein. The end of the positioning pin 205 is hemispherical. The bottom of the positioning pin 205 is connected to the support plate 202 by a spring. One end of the clamping plate 207 is connected to a pull plate 206. The side wall of the pull plate 206 is provided with a guide groove 210 that cooperates with the support plate 202. The guide groove 210 is provided with a limiting hole 211 that cooperates with the stud 203 and a positioning groove 209 that cooperates with the positioning pin 205. A locking nut 104 is provided on the stud 203. Since the end of the positioning pin 205 is spherical, the positioning groove 209 can be separated from the positioning pin 205 by pulling the pressure plate.

[0028] In use, the head of the bolt 103 at the bottom of the clamp 102 of the bird repeller 1 is positioned in the inner sleeve 14, and the locking nut 104 is positioned in the outer sleeve 13. The clamp 207 is slid down, and the positioning pin 205 engages with the limiting hole 211 to position the clamp 207. The upper end of the clamp 102 is pressed by the clamp 207, which allows the device to lift the bird repeller 1. The clamp 102 is engaged with the angle steel of the crossbeam. The drive rod 3 is rotated, causing the drive sleeve 5 to rotate the outer sleeve 13 and inner sleeve 14 via the first drive ring 8 and the second drive ring 11, respectively. This achieves synchronous rotation of the locking nut 104 and the bolt 103. Once the bolt 103 is pressed against the bottom of the angle steel, further rotation of the drive rod 3 causes relative rotation between the second drive ring 11 and the inner sleeve 14. The inner sleeve 14 stops rotating, while the outer sleeve 13 continues to drive the locking nut 104 until it is pressed against the bottom of the clamp 102, thus locking the bolt 103. Continuing to rotate the drive rod 3 causes relative rotation between the first drive ring 8 and the outer sleeve 13, preventing the locking nut 104 from damaging the clamp 102. Finally, the drive rod 3 is pulled down, sliding the clamp 207 to increase the distance between the clamp 207 and the base plate 201. The device is then removed from the bird deterrent device 1. Then unscrew the anti-loosening nut 204, remove the clamp 207, and tighten the other bolt 103 and the locking nut 104 at the bottom of the clamp 102 using the device.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
