[0036] In one possible implementation, timing begins when the radar does not detect the location of the bird, and the cumulative duration is obtained;

[0047] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0048] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] First, let me explain the background of this application:

[0050] With the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, the breeding population and activity range of birds are constantly expanding. While this phenomenon brings about ecological balance, it also poses new challenges to the safe operation of the power system.

[0051] Specifically, since birds mostly use materials such as wire, twigs, and feathers to build their nests, the movement of birds carrying these materials between power lines and towers can easily cause phase-to-phase short circuits. Furthermore, while these materials have some insulation properties when dry, their insulation performance decreases significantly when exposed to strong winds or rain, increasing the likelihood of short circuits between conductors. Even more seriously, bird droppings left on insulators over time can easily cause flashover under special weather conditions, such as high temperature and humidity, leading to surface flashover faults in the insulators. This not only affects the stability of the power supply but may also cause safety accidents such as fires.

[0052] Furthermore, since birds often choose specific locations on poles when building their nests, this behavior is persistent. Even after manual removal, birds will continue to build nests in the same locations, making traditional removal methods both time-consuming and inefficient.

[0053] To effectively address these issues, more scientific and systematic prevention and control measures are needed, such as driving birds away when they are nesting, rather than removing the nests later. Currently, the main method is to install bird-proof devices such as bird netting and bird spikes around poles to prevent birds from nesting on them.

[0054] However, this approach has the following problems:

[0055] 1. Although bird deterrent devices are designed to prevent harm to birds, they may still have some impact on bird ecology in practical applications. For example, to ensure bird deterrence effectiveness, existing bird nets have relatively small mesh openings to prevent small birds from passing through. However, when birds attempt to pass through the mesh, they may become entangled or stuck, resulting in injury or even death, thus compromising safety.

[0056] 2. Once birds adapt to the presence of bird deterrents, they will find ways to bypass the barbed wire or netting and continue to nest on the poles, resulting in poor bird deterrence. For example, birds may nest in the gaps between the barbed wire or use the edges of the netting to build their nests.

[0057] In summary, existing technologies suffer from poor bird-proofing effectiveness and low safety.

[0058] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, the technical concept of this application is as follows: Existing bird-repelling devices are passive protective devices, which can only block birds when they come into contact with the device, preventing birds from nesting through mesh or spikes. Their bird-repelling effect and safety are relatively poor. During the research process, the inventors discovered that active protective devices (bird-repelling devices) can replace traditional passive protective devices. These devices use radar to locate birds and then spray irritating powdery materials onto them, effectively driving them away without harming them and preventing them from staying or nesting in specific areas. Thus, by arranging multiple bird-repelling devices on the pole, each corresponding to a different coverage area, birds in different locations can be driven away, thereby improving the bird-repelling effect and safety.

[0059] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the bird deterrent device provided in this application Figure 1 In practical applications, bird deterrent devices can be installed on poles where birds frequently roam, using U-shaped clamps or angle iron nuts, with or without power. The installation location can be determined manually or by analyzing images of the pole. The method of determining the installation location can be chosen based on the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific limitations. For example, the bird deterrent device can be installed 2-3 meters below the top of the pole (in areas where birds frequently roam) to ensure coverage of a large area of ​​bird activity and effectively drive away nearby birds. Figure 1 As shown, the bird deterrent device 10 includes: an air compression mechanism 11, an active mechanism 12, a radar 13, and a processing module 14.

[0061] The air compression mechanism 11 includes a storage box 111 and a compression component 112 and a nozzle 113 respectively connected to the storage box 111.

[0062] For example, the storage box 111 can be round, rectangular, square, etc., and its shape can be set according to the actual situation without specific restrictions.

[0063] The storage box 111 is used to store an irritating powdery material that is harmless to humans and birds but produces an irritating smell to repel birds. For example, the irritating powdery material can be chili powder, peppermint powder, bittering agent powder, and artemisia powder, or other plant powders that birds fear; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on these.

[0064] By using irritating powdered materials to repel birds, the safety of both humans and birds is ensured. The powder's structure makes it easier for external forces, such as wind, to disperse and spread, resulting in a strong coverage area and effectively improving the bird-repelling effect.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the compression component 112 and the nozzle 113 are located on opposite sides of the storage box 111. A switching valve is provided at the connection between the storage box 111 and the compression component 112, and a switching valve is also provided at the connection between the storage box 111 and the nozzle 113. When it is not necessary to spray the irritating powder (the air compression mechanism 11 is in compressed air mode or not operating), both switching valves are closed. When it is necessary to spray the irritating powder (the air compression mechanism 11 is in air release mode), both switching valves are open.

[0066] Optionally, the nozzle 113 can be a large-aperture compression barrel to spray irritating powdery materials over a wide area. Its effective coverage range can be preset, such as 20 meters, 25 meters, 30 meters, etc. It can be set according to the actual situation and there is no specific limitation.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the compression component includes a compression container and a piston disposed inside the compression container. Specifically, the principle of the compression component 112 is to reduce the volume of air inside the compression container by increasing the pressure of the air inside (compressed air pressure). During compression, the piston moves into the compression container, and the volume of air inside decreases accordingly. Similarly, during air release, the piston moves out of the compression container, and when the pressure of the air inside decreases to a certain level, the air is released into the storage box 111 to form a high-speed airflow, which carries the irritating powdery material out of the nozzle 113, and the device precisely sprays the irritating powdery material to the location of the bird detected by the radar 13.

[0068] The nozzle 113 is also connected to the movable mechanism 12. The movable mechanism 12 can adjust its own angle in multiple directions, including up, down, left, and right, thereby adjusting the aiming angle of the nozzle 113 to accurately aim at the birds that need to be driven away.

[0069] The processing module 14 is connected to the radar 13, the moving mechanism 12, the storage box 111, and the compression component 112.

[0070] Radar 13 is used to detect the location of birds. The principle behind radar 13's bird detection is based on the fact that when electromagnetic waves emitted by radar 13 encounter a bird, they are reflected back and received and processed by radar 13. By analyzing the reflected electromagnetic waves, information such as the bird's position, speed, direction of movement, and angle can be obtained. Furthermore, the monitoring range of radar 13 can be preset, for example, its working radius can be set to 20 meters, 25 meters, 30 meters, etc., and can be set according to actual conditions. This embodiment of the application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0071] The processing module 14 is used to control the nozzle 113 to aim at the bird's position by controlling the active mechanism 12, based on the bird's position.

[0072] It should be understood that the radar 13 updates the bird's position in real time. When the nozzle 113 sprays irritating powder material, the processing module 14 will adjust the angle of the active mechanism 12 in real time according to the updated bird position to achieve dynamic aiming at the bird.

[0073] Furthermore, the processing module 14 is also used to control the compression component 112 to compress or release air, and to open the switch valve of the storage box 111 before controlling the compression component 112 to release air, so that the released air can be used to spray the irritating powdery material stored in the storage box 111 to the bird's location through the nozzle 113.

[0074] When using compressed air, higher compressed air pressure results in a longer spray distance, while lower compressed air pressure results in a shorter spray distance. Therefore, in order to accurately spray irritating powdery materials towards birds, it is necessary to calculate the compressed air pressure.

[0075] Specifically, the processing module determines the jet distance based on the bird's location and the location of the bird deterrent device 10. Then, it calculates the compressed air pressure based on the jet distance, a preset coefficient, air velocity, and air density. Finally, it controls the compression component 112 to compress the air using the compressed air pressure. The preset coefficient is determined based on the structure of the nozzle 113 and the temperature, humidity, and pressure of the environment in which the bird deterrent device 10 is located.

[0076] Specifically, compressed air pressure can be calculated using the following formula:

[0077] Jet distance = K × air flow rate × (compressed air pressure / air density) 0.5

[0078] Wherein, K is a preset coefficient, and in practical applications, the value of K is generally between 1.5 and 2.5.

[0079] Before it is put into formal application, the bird deterrent device 10 can be installed in a designated position and the preset coefficient can be corrected according to the structure of the nozzle 113 (e.g., the outlet diameter of the nozzle 113) and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity and pressure) to ensure the accuracy of the jet distance calculation.

[0080] It should be understood that the preset coefficient can also be related to the compressed air flow rate of the compression component 112.

[0081] It should be understood that in practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate nozzles 113 and compressed air sources to ensure the bird-repelling effect.

[0082] Optionally, the bird deterrent device 10 also includes a housing, with the compression component 112 and processing module 14 disposed inside the housing, and the nozzle 113, the actuating mechanism 12, and the radar 13 disposed outside the housing. The storage box 111 can be disposed inside the housing or detachably disposed outside the housing.

[0083] In practical applications, the bird deterrent device 10 can be powered by an external solar panel and / or a built-in lithium battery, ensuring its normal operation. It should be understood that all components in the bird deterrent device 10 are powered by the external solar panel and / or the built-in lithium battery, and are controlled by the internal motor and valves.

[0084] It should be understood that the processing module 14 can be implemented as a processor, which can be a central processing unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0085] The bird-repelling device provided in this application includes: an air compression mechanism, a moving mechanism, a radar, and a processing module. The air compression mechanism includes a storage box and a compression component and a nozzle connected to the storage box. The nozzle is also connected to the moving mechanism. The processing module is connected to the radar, the moving mechanism, the storage box, and the compression component. The radar is used to detect the location of birds, and the storage box is used to store irritating powdery material. The processing module controls the moving mechanism to aim the nozzle at the bird's location based on the bird's location. The processing module also controls the compression component to compress or release air, and opens the valve of the storage box before controlling the compression component to release air, so that the compression component uses the released air to spray the irritating powdery material stored in the storage box onto the bird's location through the nozzle. In this technical solution, after the compressed air is released, combined with the nozzle and the irritating powdery material stored in the storage box, a powerful impact force is used to spray and strike the irritating powdery material at the designated location. Since the irritating powdery material is harmless to humans and birds, but produces an irritating odor to achieve a bird-repelling effect, the bird-repelling effect and safety are effectively improved.

[0086] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the bird deterrent device provided in this application Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the bird deterrent device 10 also includes a laser focusing device 15, which is connected to the processing module 14 and the moving mechanism 12 respectively.

[0087] It should be understood that the laser focuser 15 is used to emit a laser beam, which is a highly concentrated beam of light whose photons have high energy and can heat the surface of an object in a very short time. When the laser beam hits the surface of an obstacle, the light energy is absorbed and converted into heat energy, causing the surface temperature of the target object to rise rapidly.

[0088] Specifically, the processing module 14 is also used to control the laser focusing device 15 to align with the bird's position by controlling the active mechanism 12, and to control the laser focusing device 15 to emit a laser, based on the bird's position.

[0089] In practical applications, after the radar 13 detects the bird's location, it sends the bird's location to the processing module 14. Based on the bird's location, the processing module 14 controls the active mechanism 12 to drive the laser focusing device 15 to adjust its angle so that the laser focusing device 15 aims at the bird's location. Then, it controls the laser focusing device 15 to emit a laser, which is precisely focused on the bird so that the bird is locally burned and flies away from the tower.

[0090] It should be understood that the radar 13 updates the bird's position in real time, and when the laser focusing device 15 emits a laser, the processing module 14 also adjusts the angle of the active mechanism 12 in real time according to the updated bird's position in order to achieve dynamic aiming at the bird.

[0091] Optionally, the laser focuser 15 is located outside the housing.

[0092] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the bird deterrent device provided in this application Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the bird deterrent device 10 also includes an image acquisition module 16, which is connected to the processing module 14. The image acquisition module 16 is used to acquire images of the pole tower.

[0093] The processing module 14 is specifically used to determine bird information based on the bird images acquired by the image acquisition module 16. This bird information includes bird density, specific heat capacity, and volume. Then, based on the bird information and a preset temperature difference, it calculates the laser incident energy of the laser focuser 15. Finally, it controls the laser focuser 15 to emit laser light according to the laser incident energy.

[0094] The image acquisition module 16 can acquire images of the tower in real time and send them to the processing module 14. The processing module 14 then performs image processing on the tower images to determine the names and sizes of the birds in the images. Finally, it queries the bird density and specific heat capacity based on the bird names to obtain bird information.

[0095] It should be understood that the incident laser energy can be calculated using the following formula:

[0096] ΔT=P / (ρ*C*V)

[0097] Where ΔT is the preset temperature difference, P represents the laser incident energy, ρ represents the bird density, C represents the bird specific heat capacity, and V represents the bird volume.

[0098] Specifically, the maximum laser incident energy can be preset. If the laser incident energy at the previous moment is less than the maximum laser incident energy, the processing module 14 calculates the laser incident energy at the current moment based on the preset temperature difference, so as to control the laser focuser 15 to emit laser according to the laser incident energy at the current moment. Similarly, if the laser incident energy at the previous moment is greater than or equal to the maximum laser incident energy, the processing module 14 controls the laser focuser 15 to emit laser according to the maximum laser incident energy.

[0099] It should be understood that the maximum incident laser energy may differ for different bird species.

[0100] In the above embodiments, the laser incident energy is calculated by using precise information about the birds to be driven away, so as to ensure that the birds are not harmed while feeling a burning sensation. This not only ensures the effectiveness of driving away the birds, but also further guarantees the safety of the birds.

[0101] The following section will provide a detailed explanation of the bird deterrent device 10 involved in this application through a practical solution. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the bird deterrent device provided in this application Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the bird deterrent device 10 includes: an air compression mechanism 11, an active mechanism 12, a radar 13, a processing module 14, and a laser focuser 15.

[0102] The processing module 14 is connected to the radar 13, the moving mechanism 12, the storage box 111, and the laser focusing device 15. The moving mechanism 12 is connected to the air compression mechanism 11, the laser focusing device 15, and the processing module 14.

[0103] Optionally, the bird deterrent device 10 also includes a housing, the compression component 112 of the air compression mechanism 11 is disposed inside the housing, the nozzle 113 of the air compression mechanism 11 is disposed outside the housing, the processing module 14 is disposed inside the housing, the moving mechanism 12, the radar 13 and the laser focusing device 15 are all disposed outside the housing, and the storage box 111 of the air compression mechanism 11 can be disposed inside the housing or outside the housing.

[0104] In practical applications, when birds approach the power poles and lines, the external radar 13 identifies the birds' location. The processing module 14, based on the identified location, uses the air compression mechanism 11 to drive the birds away. Specifically, the processing module 14 controls the air compression mechanism 11 to compress air and open the valve of the storage box 111. It then uses the movable mechanism 12 to adjust the spray direction of the nozzle 113, spraying the irritating powder material stored in the storage box 111 through the nozzle 113. This air cannon-like attack precisely targets and drives away the birds. Simultaneously, the processing module 14 uses the movable mechanism 12 to adjust the aiming direction of the laser focuser 15, controlling it to emit a laser beam that is precisely focused on the birds, causing them to be locally burned and fly away from the power equipment. During the bird-driving process, the radar 13 monitors the birds' movement trajectory in real time and adjusts the direction of the laser focuser 15 and / or the nozzle 113 in real time via the movable mechanism 12.

[0105] It should be understood that the moving mechanism 12 may include a first moving component and a second moving component. The first moving component is used to adjust the direction of the laser focuser 15, and the second moving component is used to adjust the direction of the nozzle 113.

[0106] It should be understood that, compared with existing bird nets, bird nets may age due to prolonged use. However, the bird repelling device provided in this application only requires continuous power supply to the device and timely replenishment of the storage box with irritating powdery material, allowing for unlimited use and strong endurance.

[0107] Next, based on any of the above embodiments, the bird-repelling method in the processing module applied in the bird-repelling device will be explained.

[0108] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating the bird-repelling method provided in this application is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, this bird-repelling method is applied to the processing module of the bird-repelling device in any of the above embodiments. Specifically, this bird-repelling method can be implemented through the following steps:

[0109] S51. Based on the location of the bird detected by radar, the nozzle of the air compressor is controlled to aim at the bird's location by controlling the active mechanism.

[0110] In this step, the radar monitors the bird's position in real time and transmits the detected position to the processing module. Based on the bird's position, the processing module determines the direction of the bird relative to the nozzle of the air compressor mechanism, and drives the movable mechanism to adjust the direction and angle of the nozzle of the air compressor mechanism so that it accurately aims at the bird's position.

[0111] Furthermore, since birds fly dynamically, the radar also needs to monitor the birds' trajectories in real time and update their positions in order to control the nozzles to dynamically aim at the birds.

[0112] S52, The compression component of the air compression mechanism compresses air.

[0113] In one possible implementation, the jet distance is determined based on the location of the birds and the location of the bird deterrent device. Then, the compressed air pressure is calculated based on the jet distance, a preset coefficient, air velocity, and air density. The preset coefficient is determined based on the nozzle structure and the temperature, humidity, and pressure of the environment where the bird deterrent device is located. Finally, the compressed air is compressed by controlling the compression component.

[0114] It should be understood that this implementation method can be referenced. Figure 1 The relevant details in the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0115] In the above implementation method, considering the strong correlation between compressed air pressure and spray distance, in order to ensure the accuracy of spraying, the spray distance and other multi-dimensional factors that can affect the spray distance (air velocity, air density, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, ambient pressure, etc.) are comprehensively considered to improve the accuracy of the calculated compressed air pressure, so as to ensure that the irritating powder material can be accurately sprayed to the bird's location and improve the bird deterrent effect.

[0116] S53. Open the switch valve of the storage box of the air compressor mechanism and control the compressor to release air so that the released air can be used to spray the irritating powdery material stored in the storage box to the bird's location through the nozzle.

[0117] In this step, after the air is compressed by the compression component, the switch valve of the storage box of the air compression mechanism is opened to control the compression component to release air. The air released into the storage box forms a high-speed airflow, which carries the irritating powdery material out of the nozzle and then accurately sprays the irritating powdery material to the location of the bird detected by the radar.

[0118] The bird-repelling method provided in this application involves controlling an active mechanism to aim the nozzle of an air compressor at the bird's location based on radar-detected bird positions. Then, the compressor component of the air compressor compresses air, and finally, the valve of the storage compartment of the air compressor is opened, releasing the air. This released air propels a pungent powder material stored in the storage compartment through the nozzle towards the bird's location. In this technical solution, after the compressed air is released, the nozzle and the pungent powder material stored in the storage compartment combine to use a powerful impact force to spray and strike the pungent powder material at the designated location. Since the pungent powder material is harmless to both humans and birds, but produces a pungent odor to repel birds, this method effectively improves both the bird-repelling effect and safety.

[0119] In some embodiments, Figure 3 Based on the bird-repelling device shown, when the device also includes an image acquisition module and a laser focuser, bird information can be determined from the bird images acquired by the image acquisition module. This bird information includes bird density, specific heat capacity, and volume. Based on the bird information and a preset temperature difference, the laser incident energy of the laser focuser is calculated. The laser focuser is then controlled to emit laser light according to the incident energy.

[0120] It should be understood that this implementation method can be referenced. Figure 3 The relevant details in the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0121] In the above embodiments, the laser incident energy is calculated by using precise information about the birds to be driven away, so as to ensure that the birds are not harmed while feeling a burning sensation. This not only ensures the effectiveness of driving away the birds, but also further guarantees the safety of the birds.

[0122] In some embodiments, the bird information also includes the bird name. If the bird name is a preset bird name, the control air compressor mechanism, the moving mechanism, and the laser focusing device do not perform the bird deterrence method based on the bird's location.

[0123] It should be understood that the bird-repelling method is any of the bird-repelling methods described in the above embodiments.

[0124] In practical applications, a bird database can be pre-created to store preset bird names. It should be understood that these preset bird names can be those of rare birds, protected birds, birds that are easily injured or vulnerable during deterrence, or bird names determined based on actual working conditions. The image acquisition module can acquire pole images in real time and send them to the processing module. The processing module then processes the pole images to determine the bird names within them. If the bird name matches a preset name stored in the bird database, the air compression mechanism, the moving mechanism, and the laser focuser are controlled not to perform any bird deterrence operations. Specifically, the air compression mechanism is controlled not to compress air, the moving mechanism is controlled not to adjust the nozzle direction of the air compression mechanism or the aiming direction of the laser focuser, and the laser focuser is controlled not to emit laser light.

[0125] In the above embodiments, to avoid accidental harm to birds during the bird-driving process, the bird's name is identified in advance. If the bird's name is not a preset name, it is driven away normally using an air compression mechanism and a laser focusing device; if the bird's name is a preset name, the bird needs to be given special protection, and the bird-driving operation is stopped.

[0126] In some embodiments, a timer is started when the radar does not detect the location of birds to accumulate the cumulative duration. If the cumulative duration exceeds a preset duration, the other components of the bird deterrent device, except for the processing module and the radar, are controlled to enter a non-operating state.

[0127] It should be understood that the bird deterrent device, excluding the processing module and radar, includes the following components: air compression mechanism, moving mechanism, image acquisition module, and laser focusing device.

[0128] When the air compression mechanism enters the non-working state, the compression component stops compressing air, and the switch valve of the storage box closes; when the moving mechanism enters the non-working state, it stops adjusting the angle; when the image acquisition module enters the non-working state, it stops acquiring images; and when the laser focuser enters the non-working state, it stops emitting lasers.

[0129] In the above embodiments, if the radar does not detect the location of birds for a long time, the other parts of the bird deterrent device, except for the processing module and the radar, can be controlled to enter a non-working state, which can avoid and reduce the consumption of electricity or other energy, and extend the service life of the bird deterrent device.

[0130] In some implementations, the working time of the storage box can also be obtained. If the working time reaches a preset working time, a reminder message is sent to the staff's terminal device to remind the staff to add irritating powdery material to the storage box.

[0131] It should be understood that this preset working time is the maximum duration that the storage box can be used when it is fully loaded.

[0132] The above embodiments can reduce the frequency of manual inspections, improve work efficiency, and avoid affecting the bird deterrence effect due to material depletion.

[0133] This application also provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method.

[0136] An exemplary readable storage medium is coupled to a processor, enabling the processor to read information from and write information to the readable storage medium.

For example, multiple units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or not executed. Furthermore, the coupling or direct coupling or communication connection shown or discussed may be indirect coupling or communication connection through some interfaces, devices, or units, and may be electrical, mechanical, or other forms.
