Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to a tree anti-falling device. Background Technology
[0002] In forest and mountainous areas, trees are prone to falling due to strong winds. If a fallen tree touches a power line, it can cause a short circuit, trip the power line, or even start a fire, seriously threatening the safe operation of the power grid.
[0003] To address the problem of fallen trees, manual felling or insulation upgrades to power transmission lines (such as replacing insulated conductors or adding insulating sheaths) are commonly used. Manual felling requires significant manpower and resources, resulting in high maintenance costs, low efficiency, and difficulty in dynamically responding to sudden severe weather. Furthermore, tree felling impacts the natural environment. While insulation upgrades to power transmission lines can improve their short-circuit withstand capabilities, they typically require power outages, disrupting power supply continuity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a tree-prevention device to address the problem of fallen trees affecting the safety of power transmission lines.
[0005] This application provides a tree-prevention device, comprising:
[0006] At least two mounting members, the at least two said mounting members being used to connect respectively to at least two said trees arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the power transmission line;
[0007] A rope, which is used to be installed on one side of the plurality of trees facing the power transmission line, and the rope is connected to each of the mounting components respectively;
[0008] Two anchors are respectively connected to both ends of the rope body, and the anchors are used to connect to the ground.
[0009] In one possible implementation, it further includes a tension detection element, a tensioning element, and a controller, wherein the tension detection element and the tensioning element are both disposed on the rope body;
[0010] The tension detection device is used to detect the tension of the rope. The controller is electrically connected to the tensioning device and the tension detection device respectively. The controller is configured to control the tensioning device to tension the rope when the tension detection device detects that the tension of the rope is less than or equal to a first threshold.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the rope body includes a first part and a second part, the first part and the second part being connected sequentially along the extension direction of the power transmission line;
[0012] The tensioning member is located between the first part and the second part. The tensioning member includes a housing, a motor and a drum. The drum is rotatably disposed inside the housing, and the motor is disposed on the housing. The motor is used to drive the drum to rotate.
[0013] The first split body is connected to the drum at one end near the tensioning member, and the second split body is connected to the housing at one end near the tensioning member; the motor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller drives the drum to rotate through the motor to wind up the first split body.
[0014] In one possible implementation, at least one of the first and second parts includes two segments, and the tension detection element is connected between the two segments to detect the tension of the rope.
[0015] And / or, it also includes a solar panel, which is electrically connected to the motor, the tension detection element and the controller, respectively.
[0016] In one possible implementation, an elastic element is also included, which is bent and has both ends connected to the rope body. The elastic element is used to deform when the tension of the rope body is less than or equal to the first threshold.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the tensioning element is located between the two connection points of the elastic element and the rope.
[0018] In one possible implementation, an alarm is also included, electrically connected to the controller, which is further configured to control the alarm to issue an alarm message when the tension of the rope is less than or equal to a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the mounting member is bent, and both ends of the mounting member are connected to the tree via external connectors. An mounting hole is defined between the mounting member and the tree, and the rope passes through the mounting hole.
[0020] In one possible implementation, a reinforcement is also included, which surrounds the periphery of the mounting and the tree, with its two ends connected for securing the mounting and the tree together.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the anchor is an anchor seat for being buried underground. The anchor seat includes a metal frame and a concrete body formed on the metal frame. The concrete body is provided with a fitting for connecting the rope.
[0022] The tree-prevention device provided in this application forms a physical barrier by installing ropes on the side of the tree facing the power line. When a tree falls towards the power line due to wind force, the falling force acts on the ropes, and the two ends of the ropes are anchored to the ground, thus applying a restraining force in the opposite direction (away from the power line) to the tree. This helps prevent the tree from falling towards the power line and touching it, thereby reducing the risk of power line short circuits, tripping, and wildfires caused by fallen trees, fundamentally ensuring the safe operation of the power grid and the reliability of power supply. In addition, the entire tree-prevention device has a simple structure and does not require power outage operations on the power line. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout.

The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0044] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.
[0045] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or components is not necessarily limited to those steps or components that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or components that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to those processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.
[0046] When overhead power lines cross forest and mountainous areas, tree-related faults pose a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. When trees around the power lines fall due to strong winds or other reasons, they can easily come into contact with the conductors, causing short circuits and power outages, or even forest fires, severely impacting the reliability of power supply.
[0047] Currently, the main technical means to prevent trees from falling include two categories: one is to regularly cut down or prune trees in the passageway to maintain a safe distance; the other is to modify the insulation of the power transmission line itself, such as replacing the insulated conductors or installing insulating sheaths.
[0048] However, both methods have significant limitations. Manual logging involves periodically felling or pruning trees near power lines to maintain a safe distance between the lines and the trees. This method typically requires organizing construction teams to enter the forest area, using equipment such as chainsaws and aerial work platforms, and combining this with subsequent maintenance through inspections. Clearly, manual logging requires a continuous investment of significant manpower and resources, resulting in high maintenance costs and low efficiency. Furthermore, frequent logging activities can easily trigger environmental protection controversies.
[0049] Insulation upgrades to power transmission lines improve their short-circuit withstand capability by replacing bare conductors with insulated conductors or adding insulating sheaths, making it less likely for trees to come into contact with the lines and cause faults. This approach typically requires a complete or partial power outage for construction, replacing conductors and related hardware. While it enhances the short-circuit withstand capability of the transmission line itself, it usually necessitates power outages, affecting power supply continuity, and the upgrade process is lengthy. The high cost of insulated conductors and related equipment contributes to the high overall cost of insulation upgrades.
[0050] Based on this, this application proposes a tree-prevention device to provide an engineering solution that is simple to construct, cost-effective, and proactively prevents trees from falling towards power lines, without damaging the ecological environment or requiring power outages. The tree-prevention device of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a tree anti-falling device to solve the problem of fallen trees 100 affecting the safety of power transmission lines. The tree anti-falling device includes at least two mounting members 200, a rope 300, and two anchors 400. The at least two mounting members 200 are respectively connected to at least two trees 100 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the power transmission line. The rope 300 is set on the side of the plurality of trees 100 facing the power transmission line, and the rope 300 is respectively connected to each mounting member 200. The two anchors 400 are respectively connected to both ends of the rope 300, and the anchors 400 are connected to the ground.
[0052] The tree-prevention device provided in this application forms a physical barrier by using a rope 300 installed on the side of the tree 100 facing the power transmission line. When the tree 100 falls towards the power transmission line due to wind force, the falling force of the tree 100 acts on the rope 300, and the two ends of the rope 300 are anchored to the ground by anchors 400, thereby applying a restraining force in the opposite direction (away from the power transmission line) to the tree 100. This helps prevent the tree 100 from touching the power transmission line when it falls. This reduces the risk of power line short circuits, tripping, and wildfires caused by fallen trees 100, fundamentally ensuring the safe operation of the power grid and the reliability of power supply. The entire device has a simple structure and requires no power outage during construction.
[0053] Specifically, when trees 100 are located on both sides of a power transmission line, and the fallen trees 100 on both sides would touch the power transmission line, tree-prevention devices can be installed on both sides of the power transmission line. The number of trees 100 intercepted by one tree-prevention device can be determined according to usage requirements, and is not limited to... Figure 1 The three trees shown. The number of trees 100 intercepted by a tree-prevention device is determined by factors such as the length of the rope 300 and the specifications of the trees 100.
[0054] The rope 300 is connected to the tree 100 via the mounting bracket 200, and together with the anchor 400, forms a four-way fixed structure. When wind acts on the tree 100, the rope 300 generates a reverse traction force under the synergistic action of the mounting bracket 200 and the anchor 400. The direction of the traction force is opposite to the direction in which the tree 100 may fall, thereby preventing the tree 100 from tilting towards the power lines. The rope 300 is positioned with the tree 100 via the mounting bracket 200 and fixed to the ground via the anchor 400, which helps to form a stable force-bearing system and ensures that the tension of the rope 300 is evenly distributed between the tree 100 and the ground.
[0055] In at least two mounting pieces 200 of the embodiments of this application, it is necessary to ensure that mounting pieces 200 are installed on both the first and last trees 100 of the intercepted trees. For example, the distance between the mounting piece 200 on the tree 100 and the ground is 6 to 8 meters. For example, the distance between the mounting piece 200 and the ground can be 6 meters, 6.5 meters, 7 meters, 7.5 meters, or 8 meters, or any value between 6 meters and 8 meters.
[0056] Since the height of the mounting component 200 on the tree 100 determines the arrangement height of the rope 300 on the tree 100, and thus the interception height of the rope 300 on the tree 100, the height of the mounting component 200 on the tree 100 can be set according to usage requirements, as long as it ensures that the rope 300 can intercept multiple trees 100 located between the two ends when the tree 100 falls towards the power line. The distance between the mounting component 200 and the ground can be adjusted in terms of quantity and position according to parameters such as the trunk diameter and height, serving as the anchoring point for the rope 300.
[0057] In one possible implementation, in this embodiment of the application, the mounting member 200 is bent, and both ends of the mounting member 200 are connected to the tree 100 through external connectors. An installation hole is defined between the mounting member 200 and the tree 100, and the rope 300 is disposed through the installation hole.
[0058] This configuration, with the mounting hole defined between the mounting component 200 and the tree 100, provides space for the rope 300 to be arranged, allowing the rope to simply pass through the mounting hole. The mounting component 200 prevents the rope 300 from detaching from the tree 100 and limits the displacement of the rope 300 in the height direction of the tree 100, thereby improving the reliability of the rope 300 in use. Figure 2 As shown, the mounting component 200 is U-shaped or C-shaped, and both ends of the mounting component 200 are bolted to the tree 100. The structure of the mounting component 200 is simple, making it easy to install on the tree 100.
[0059] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the anti-falling device in this embodiment further includes a reinforcing member 210. The reinforcing member 210 surrounds the outer periphery of the mounting member 200 and the tree 100, and its two ends are connected to secure the mounting member 200 and the tree 100 together. By providing the reinforcing member 210, the connection strength between the mounting member 200 and the tree 100 is enhanced, further improving the connection reliability of the mounting member 200 on the tree 100, thereby improving the stability of the rope 300 in the height direction of the tree 100.
[0060] In specific implementation, the reinforcing member 210 can be made of steel wire. The steel wire is wound around the mounting member 200 and the tree 100, and then connected at both ends to strengthen the connection between the mounting member 200 and the tree 100. Alternatively, the reinforcing member 210 can also be a reinforcing ring or cable tie. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mounting member 200 can be in any shape other than U-shaped or C-shaped, as long as it satisfies the limitation on the position of the rope 300 in the height direction of the tree 100.
[0061] In one possible implementation, the tree anti-falling device of this application embodiment further includes a tension detection element 500, a tensioning element 600, and a controller 700. Both the tension detection element 500 and the tensioning element 600 are disposed on the rope 300. The tension detection element 500 is used to detect the tension of the rope 300. The controller 700 is electrically connected to both the tensioning element 600 and the tension detection element 500. The controller 700 is configured to control the tensioning element 600 to tension the rope 300 when the tension detection element 500 detects that the tension of the rope 300 is less than or equal to a first threshold.
[0062] This configuration allows the tension detection element 500 to monitor changes in the tension of the rope 300 in real time (due to wind fluctuations and temperature changes), and automatically activates the tensioning element 600 to compensate when the tension of the rope 300 falls below a first threshold. This helps prevent the problem of the tree-prevention device gradually losing its protective effect due to slack after installation, and ensures that the device maintains the required restraint force throughout its entire lifespan, making the interception effect of the rope 300 consistently reliable.
[0063] Furthermore, when the tension is less than or equal to the first threshold, the controller 700 actively tensions the rope 300 with the help of the tensioning component 600, transforming the prevention of tree fall from post-event remediation to pre-event prevention, greatly reducing the probability of tree accidents caused by the failure of tree anti-falling devices. By maintaining the tension of the rope 300 within a reasonable range, the extreme state of the rope 300 being too loose for a long time (leading to severe wind vibration) is avoided. Before or during typhoons and severe convective weather, the controller 700, the tension detection component 500, and the tensioning component 600 work together to automatically detect and resist the dynamic loss of tension caused by the swaying of the tree 100 due to increased wind force, which helps to maintain the effective traction of the rope 300 on the tree 100.
[0064] In terms of specific structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rope body 300 includes a first part 310 and a second part 320, which are sequentially connected along the extension direction of the power transmission line. A tensioning member 600 is located between the first part 310 and the second part 320. The tensioning member 600 includes a housing 610, a motor 620, and a drum 630. The drum 630 is rotatably disposed within the housing 610, and the motor 620 is disposed on the housing 610, driving the drum 630 to rotate. The end of the first part 310 near the tensioning member 600 is connected to the drum 630, and the end of the second part 320 near the tensioning member 600 is connected to the housing 610. The motor 620 is electrically connected to a controller 700, which drives the drum 630 to rotate via the motor 620 to wind up the first part 310.
[0065] Here, the motor 620 drives the drum 630 to wind up the first section 310, which essentially shortens the effective length of the first section 310. Since the second section 320 is connected to the housing 610, the action of winding up the first section 310 is directly converted into the movement of the tensioning member 600 and the housing 610 relative to the connection point of the second section 320, thereby tightening the entire rope 300 and achieving tensioning of the rope 300. In this way, the rotational motion of the motor 620 is converted into the required traction force through the drum 630, resulting in a short transmission path and minimal energy loss.
[0066] In practical implementation, the tensioning element 600 can employ a conventional winding device capable of winding up the rope 300. The housing 610 of the tensioning element 600 serves as a base connecting the second segment 320 and the supporting motor 620 and drum 630, forming a stable stress point. The housing 610 has a through hole through which the end of the second segment 320 is connected. Furthermore, the drum 630 in the tensioning element 600 provides winding support, facilitating the stability and reliability of the first segment 310 during winding. It should be noted that the structure and arrangement of the tensioning element 600 can be adjusted according to usage requirements.
[0067] In this embodiment, the rope 300 is made of steel strand, a mature product that is easy to deploy and implement, and it provides good interception effect on the trees 100. Of course, the rope 300 can also be made of composite fiber rope, as long as it meets the requirements for tensile strength and weather resistance.
[0068] One possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, at least one of the first segment 310 and the second segment 320 includes two segments 311, and a tension detection element 500 is connected between the two segments 311 to detect the tension of the rope 300. By connecting the tension detection element 500 in series in the force transmission path of the rope 300, the tension detection element 500 directly bears the working tension, which is beneficial for detecting the tension of the rope 300.
[0069] In practical implementation, the tension detection element 500 can be a tension sensor from the existing technology. The tension detection element 500 becomes a segment of the rope 300, ensuring that the stress state of the tension detection element 500 is completely consistent with that of segment 311. The tension value measured by the tension detection element 500 can accurately represent the tension of the rope 300, and the tension detection data has high reference value. Of course, when it is necessary to loosen the rope 300, the drum 630 can be rotated via the controller 700 to unwind the rope 300, thereby ensuring that the tension of the rope 300 meets the usage requirements.
[0070] It should be noted that the number of tension detection elements 500 and tensioning elements 600 in this application can be set according to usage requirements. When the interception length of the rope 300 is relatively long, setting two or more tension detection elements 500 helps to improve the detection accuracy of the tension of the rope 300. Setting two or more tensioning elements 600 helps to improve the tensioning efficiency of the rope 300. In addition, the tension detection elements 500 and tensioning elements 600 are preferably set on the side of the rope 300 facing the power line from the tree 100, but they can also be set on the rope 300 between the mounting element 200 and the anchor 400.
[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the tree-prevention device of this application also includes a solar panel 800, which is electrically connected to the motor 620, the tension detection element 500, and the controller 700. Here, the solar panel 800 utilizes solar energy to provide power to the motor 620, the controller 700, the tension detection element 500, and other power-consuming units, enabling the entire tree-prevention device to operate normally.
[0072] In practice, a storage battery 810 is also provided that is electrically connected to the solar panel 800. The solar panel 800 is electrically connected to the motor 620, the tension detection device 500 and the controller 700 through the storage battery 810 to provide power.
[0073] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tree-prevention device of this application also includes an elastic element 900. The elastic element 900 is bent, and both ends of the elastic element 900 are connected to the rope 300. The elastic element 900 is used to deform when the tension of the rope 300 is less than or equal to a first threshold. By setting the elastic element 900, it is convenient to determine whether the tension of the rope 300 is abnormal by checking the deformation of the elastic element 900 during manual inspection, and to actively adjust the tension of the rope 300 when the tension of the rope 300 is abnormal.
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tensioning element 600 is located between the two connection points of the elastic element 900 and the rope 300. This facilitates the tensioning and resetting effect of the elastic element 900. In this embodiment, the elastic element 900 is bridging the rope 300 on which the tensioning element 600 acts. The deformation of the elastic element 900 directly depends on the tension force between the first segment 310 and the second segment 320. When the tension force between the first segment 310 and the second segment 320 is small, the distance between the two connection points of the elastic element 900 and the rope 300 decreases. When the tension force between the first segment 310 and the second segment 320 is large, the distance between the two connection points of the elastic element 900 and the rope 300 increases. When the tensioning element 600 is working, the change in the tension of the rope 300 immediately causes a significant change in the shape of the elastic element 900, thereby providing an intuitive visual indication for manual inspection.
[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, the elastic element 900 is C-shaped or U-shaped. The elastic element 900 can be made of spring steel sheet or steel strand, etc. In the initial state, the two ends of the elastic element 900 have a first gap. When the elastic element 900 is tightened by the rope 300, the two ends of the elastic element 900 have a second gap. When the rope 300 is loose, the two ends of the elastic element 900 have a third gap. The second gap is greater than the first gap, and the third gap is less than the second gap but greater than or equal to the first gap.
[0076] In this embodiment, by setting the elastic element 900, the patrol personnel can determine whether the tension of the rope 300 is within the normal range and whether the tensioning element 600 is properly adjusted simply by observing the degree of bending of the elastic element 900, without the need for special force measuring tools.
[0077] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the tree anti-falling device in this embodiment of the application also includes an alarm 1000, which is electrically connected to the controller 700. The controller 700 is further configured to control the alarm 1000 to issue an alarm message when the tension of the rope 300 is less than or equal to a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is greater than a first threshold.
[0078] When the tension of the rope 300 is less than or equal to a second threshold, the alarm 1000 issues an alarm signal, alerting workers to the abnormal tension of the rope 300. This allows workers to actively tighten the rope 300, thereby ensuring the rope 300's effectiveness in intercepting the falling tree 100. It should be noted that the tree-prevention device in this embodiment integrates an IoT platform, and the alarm 1000 is a remote alarm 1000, allowing workers to remotely obtain alarm information. In specific implementations, the alarm 1000 can be an audible and visual alarm 1000.
[0079] It should be noted that the values of the first threshold and the second threshold in this embodiment can be determined according to usage requirements. Additionally, a wind speed detection device electrically connected to the controller 700 can be installed on the rope 300. This device detects wind speed, and when the wind speed exceeds the speed threshold, the controller 700 activates the alarm 1000 to sound an alarm. This sends an alert to staff to remind them to perform maintenance.
[0080] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the anchor 400 in this embodiment is an anchor seat, which is used to be buried underground. The anchor seat includes a metal frame 410 and a concrete body 420 formed on the metal frame 410. The concrete body 420 is provided with a mating part 430, which is used to connect the rope 300.
[0081] Anchor 400 is buried underground. The concrete body 420 provides significant self-weight and bonding friction with the soil, while the metal frame 410 (typically a steel reinforcement skeleton) provides excellent tensile strength. The combination of these two elements ensures good anchoring underground, making it difficult for the anchor to detach and thus ensuring the effectiveness of the rope 300. In practice, the mating component 430 has connection holes (not shown in the diagram). The end of the rope 300 is connected to the mating component 430 through these connection holes, ensuring that the initially connected rope 100 is under tension. Alternatively, the mating component 430 can also be a hook.
[0082] In addition, the combination of the metal frame 410 and the concrete body 420 helps to solve the fundamental problem of insufficient anchoring force and easy loosening when using simple ground nails, helical piles, or relying on natural materials (such as boulders or tree roots). In specific implementation, the specifications of the anchor 400 can be determined according to the usage requirements.
[0083] As a structural example of an anchor 400, the anchor 400 has a body and end caps. The body is a cylindrical shape with both ends extending through it. The end caps are respectively fastened to both ends of the body and connected to the body by multiple fasteners. Both the body and end caps are made of a metal frame 410 and a concrete body 420. During installation, after excavating a standardized foundation pit in the ground, the anchor 400 is placed directly, backfilled, and compacted; no on-site concrete pouring is required. To improve the connection between the end caps and the body, multiple protrusions are spaced apart on the circumference of the end caps, and grooves corresponding to the protrusions are provided on the circumference of the end of the body. The end caps are positioned on the body by inserting the protrusions into the corresponding grooves, thus improving the connection efficiency between the end caps and the body.
[0084] The tree anti-falling device of this application is suitable for scenarios where power transmission lines cross complex terrain areas such as forest areas and mountainous regions. In these areas, trees 100 are prone to falling towards the power line or being blown by the wind due to natural growth or extreme weather such as typhoons and strong winds, causing short circuits, power outages, or even wildfires. The tree anti-falling device, by setting a rope 300 on the side of the tree 100 facing the power transmission line, and in conjunction with the positioning of the mounting component 200 on the tree 100, the anchor 400, the tensioning component 600, and the tension detection component 500, facilitates the formation of physical isolation and dynamic traction force on the tree 100, preventing the tree 100 from falling and affecting the safety of the power transmission line.
[0085] The rope 300 in this application can be made of steel strand. In sections where the power line crosses forest areas, construction zones of 15-20 meters are defined. Mounting devices 200 are fixed to trees 100, and steel strand is laid to create a traction force in the opposite direction to the power line. This means that one tree-prevention device can prevent multiple trees 100 from falling within a 15-20 meter radius. The entire tree-prevention device can be installed while the power line is energized, avoiding power outages caused by traditional methods. Furthermore, the implementation of the tree-prevention device in this embodiment does not require felling trees 100, thus protecting the ecological environment.
