Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bird-repelling devices for high-voltage line towers, in particular to a knocking-type bird-repelling device on a high-voltage line tower. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of society, the country and the people's demand for electricity is increasing. Society has put forward higher and higher requirements on the supply, transmission safety and reliability of electricity, and the role of the power system is becoming more and more important.

[0003] As an important part of the power system, transmission lines are often disturbed by various factors, resulting in tripping accidents. At present, the main reasons that threaten the safe operation of transmission lines are: bird damage, lightning strikes and external force damage. With the acceleration of urbanization, the habitat of birds has been affected to a certain extent. In addition, the special structure of high-voltage towers has made birds more and more active near high-voltage towers, where they build nests, defecate and engage in other activities. The nesting materials may be mixed with conductive materials, and high-voltage lines are prone to short circuits when the air is humid in rainy and snowy weather; the droppings of birds can easily cause flashover accidents; and birds pecking composite insulators can cause the core rod surface to be exposed, the sealing to be damaged, and even string drop accidents, which seriously affect the safety of transmission lines. Therefore, it is necessary to drive away the birds on high-voltage towers in time to avoid such accidents.

[0004] There are many measures to drive away birds on high-voltage towers: installing bird-proof spikes to occupy bird landing spots, installing laser bird-repelling devices to drive away birds through visual stimulation, emitting ultrasonic waves in bird-sensitive frequency bands to drive away birds, and playing bird predator calls or other harsh sounds through loudspeakers to drive away birds. However, bird-proof spikes only reduce some bird landing spots and affect the inspection work of power workers. The effect of lasers decreases under strong light conditions, and it is harmful to the eyes and has a blind spot for scanning. Ultrasonic waves have a small range of action and take effect slowly, so birds are prone to adaptability over a long period of time. Loudspeakers are prone to distortion when playing sound, which places high demands on equipment. If bird-repelling equipment is in operation for a long time, it will accelerate the adaptability of birds. It is necessary to change the strategy to actively detect birds. Only when birds are detected, bird-repelling operations can be carried out to reduce the time for birds to adapt and slow down the formation of bird adaptability.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figure 1-8 The utility model provides a technical solution: a striking bird-repelling device on a high-voltage line tower, comprising a shell 1: an assembly component for assembly with the high-voltage line tower is provided on the shell 1, a gong 12 is provided on the outer side of the shell 1 through a hanging structure, a striking component 9 for striking with the gong 12 is installed in the shell 1, a communication control system for controlling the frequency, strength and rhythm of the gong is also embedded in the shell 1, and a power supply system for striking with the communication control component is provided on the shell 1.

[0033] The bird-repelling device is installed on the high-voltage line tower through assembly components. The bird-repelling operation is started and stopped through visual recognition, and the striking component 9 is used to act on the gong 12 to produce a sharp and penetrating sound through metal vibration to repel birds. The frequency, volume, or rhythm of the gong sound is changed through the communication control system to reduce the adaptability of birds to achieve a better bird-repelling effect.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the suspension structure includes a hole groove formed on the gong 12, and a steel wire rope passing through the hole groove is bolted to the shell 1 through a sliding adjustment component, and the sliding adjustment component can adjust the position of the gong 12.

[0035] The sliding adjustment assembly includes two cross beams 11 fixed on the top of the shell 1, and two L-shaped brackets 26 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The two L-shaped brackets 26 are both provided with short cross arms 28 that can be adjusted vertically. The two cross beams 11 and the two short cross arms 28 are both provided with eye screws 24 that can be adjusted horizontally. The eye screws 24 are used to bolt the wire rope.

[0036] There are two holes and grooves above the gong 12, and the first steel wire rope 23 passes through the holes and grooves respectively to connect with the eye screws 24 on the two cross beams 11 extending from the shell 1. The eye screws 24 are fixed in the long and narrow slots 25 on the cross beams 11, and the eye screws 24 can be moved back and forth to adjust the distance between the gong 12 and the striking member 9. Two L-shaped brackets 26 are fixed below the shell 1, and a short cross arm 28 is connected to the bottom of the L-shaped bracket 26 through a long slot 27. The short cross arm 28 can slide up and down in the long slot 27 of the L-shaped bracket 26. The second steel wire rope 29 passes through the two holes and grooves below the gong 12 and is fixed to the eye screws 24 of the short cross arm 28 below. The eye screws 24 on the short cross arm 28 can be adjusted by sliding back and forth, thereby limiting the large left and right swing of the gong 12 during the striking process.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, an open groove 8 is formed in the shell 1, and the knocking member 9 includes a metal thin rod 21 movably set in the open groove 8, and a driving component for controlling the reciprocating swing of the metal thin rod 21. A metal ball 22 is fixed on the metal thin rod 21, and the metal thin rod 21 is made of elastic Mn material.

[0038] The driving component is a double-axis steering gear 17 , which is suspended in the opening slot 8 through an upper bracket 18 , and a lower bracket 19 assembled and fixed with a matching metal thin rod 21 is fixed at the output end of the double-axis steering gear 17 .

[0039] The power of the striking component 9 is a high-torque digital servo, Dasheng RDS51150 dual-axis servo 17, with a maximum torque of 150kg and a maximum rotation angle of 270 degrees, corresponding to a PWM high-level time of 500us-2500us. The angle range used in this striking bird-repelling operation is between 1400us-1950us.

[0040] The metal rod 21 is made of a metal material Mn with a certain elasticity, one end of which passes through a hollow screw 20 and is fixed on the lower bracket 19 of the dual-axis servo 17, and the other end is welded to a metal ball 22. The dual-axis servo 17 starts to rotate and perform a knocking operation when receiving the PWM sent by the embedded control module 7. The knocking member 9 is suspended and installed inside the device housing 1 to prevent the dual-axis servo 17 from being splashed by rainwater.

[0041] The angle between the initial position and the given target position of the dual-axis servo 17 is evenly divided into multiple strokes, and the pulse width signal corresponding to each stroke is sent in sequence, and the rotation speed of the dual-axis servo 17 is changed by changing the time interval between sending each signal, i.e., the delay. A slower rotation speed can be obtained by evenly dividing into more strokes and appropriately increasing the delay, and a lower knocking frequency and a lighter knocking force can be obtained after repeated multiple times.

[0042] On the contrary, dividing the angle between the initial position and the given target position into fewer strokes and appropriately reducing the delay can obtain a faster rotation speed, and after repeated multiple times, a higher knocking frequency and a heavier knocking force can be obtained. The minimum delay is 200ms to ensure that the dual-axis servo 17 performs a complete rotation, that is, rotates from the initial position to the target position. By writing codes, the above process is divided into different bird-repelling instructions, and different knocking effects are achieved by selecting different instructions.

[0043] By designing five kinds of knocking modes, the knocking angle is changed by changing the high level time, and the corresponding angle is represented by the time microsecond us. The gong 12 is suspended in front of the housing 1, and the metal ball 22 of the knocking member 9 is placed vertically at a distance of about 2cm from the gong 12. At this time, the angle is at the median 1500, and the force arm of the dual-axis servo 17 is not under force. The swing angle set by the instruction 1 encoding "qd1" is 1850-1300-1500, which are respectively the angle of storing power in the opposite direction, the angle of full collision with the gong 12, and the angle of returning to the right position after the collision. At the same time, the delay between the execution of the three angles is controlled at 1s, 250ms and 1s respectively, wherein the minimum delay of 250ms is to ensure that the servo is fully executed from the initial angle to the target angle. The other two delays are expressed as the frequency of knocking. The rotation speed is the default fastest speed of the dual-axis servo 17. When the embedded control module 7 reads "qd1", the knocking device can be controlled to get a rapid knock. Instruction 2 is coded as "qd2", which is repeated 3 times for 1 swing in instruction 1. The delay of accumulating force in the opposite direction and returning to the position after knocking is the same as instruction 1, which is 1s. It is a continuous knock with a pause, and the frequency of knocking is low. When the embedded control module 7 reads "qd2", the knocking component 9 can be controlled to get 3 knocks quickly but with a clear sense of pause. Instruction 3 is coded as "qd3", which modifies the delay of accumulating force in the opposite direction and returning to the position after knocking to 350ms on the basis of instruction 2. When the embedded control module 7 reads "qd3", the knocking component 9 can be controlled to get 3 knocks quickly and uninterruptedly. Instruction 4 is coded as "qd4", which divides the angles between 1850-1300 and 1300-1500 into 550 and 200 parts respectively on the basis of instruction 3, and then gives each angle a delay of 800us to execute to the target position in sequence, which can slow down the swing speed. When "qd4" is read, the result is a slower continuous striking effect compared to "qd3". Instruction five is coded as "qd5". Based on instruction three, the second angle, which is the angle of collision with the gong surface, is reduced to 1200, and the striking device will further increase the force of striking the gong surface. When executing instruction five, a fast, continuous, sharper and louder sound can be obtained. Instruction six is ​​coded as "tz". When "tz" is read, the embedded system controls the relay to disconnect the power supply of the striking device. At this time, the embedded system enters low power mode and waits for the receipt of instructions.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a long cross arm 31 is fixed on the high-voltage line tower, and the assembly components include a buckle 30 and a long screw 32. The buckle 30 is locked and fixed to the long cross arm 31 and the cross beam 11 respectively through the long screw 32.

[0045] The whole bird-repelling device is fixed to two beams 11 above the shell 1 through three long screws 32 after being fitted with an "L"-shaped long crossbeam 31 of the high-voltage tower through two buckles 30 above the shell 1. Both beams 11 are equipped with multiple screw holes, and the fixing position of the long screws 32 can be replaced front and back to ensure that the weight of the left and right sides of the entire device is equal to achieve force balance.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1-8 As shown, a left groove 2 and a right groove 5 are formed on both sides of the housing 1, and a metal cover 14 that fits the groove is rotatably connected to both sides of the housing 1 through hinges 13, and a silicone seal is adhered to the frame of the metal cover 14. The silicone seal is adhered to the frame of the cover to play a waterproof role.

[0047] The communication control system includes a square plastic box 15 installed in the right groove 5, a communication module 6 and an embedded control module 7 are installed in the square plastic box 15, a receiving antenna 16 penetrating the housing 1 is installed on the communication module 6, and the receiving antenna 16 is adsorbed on the housing 1 by a magnet;

[0048] The input end of the communication module 6 is electrically connected to the output end of the control module 7 , and the output end of the control module 7 is electrically connected to the input end of the dual-axis steering gear 17 .

[0049] The communication module 6 and the embedded control module 7 exchange data through USART2 to complete the device initialization and configure the method of receiving and storing text messages. During the debugging stage, the embedded control module 7 can choose to connect USART1 to the computer USB port through a conversion chip to monitor the data transmitted by USART2 and obtain the working status of the communication module 6. After the communication module 6 receives the instruction, the embedded control module 7 reads the instruction and sends PWM to control the dual-axis servo 17 to rotate and complete the knocking operation.

[0050] First, the server or the inspection worker sends a bird-repelling instruction, which is received by the communication module 6 and stored inside the communication module 6. Then, the embedded control module 7 reads and parses the instruction saved in the communication module 6 through the serial port USART, controls the relay to close, and sends the corresponding PWM to control the rotation of the dual-axis servo 17. Different knocking effects are obtained by changing the frequency, strength and rhythm of the knocking. After the knocking is completed, the dual-axis servo 17 is powered off through the relay to prevent the gravity of the metal ball 22 from causing the dual-axis servo 17 to be blocked for a long time and damage the servo.

[0051] The power supply system comprises a solar panel 10 mounted on a housing 1 , and a battery 3 and a solar charge controller 4 are mounted in a groove 2 on the left side of the housing 1 .

[0052] The solar panel 10 is fixed on the housing 1 by a bracket, and can convert light energy into electrical energy through the solar charge controller 4 and store it in the battery 3, so that the device can utilize new energy to achieve energy saving effect.

[0053] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
