Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power transmission bird damage prevention, and particularly relates to a telescopic bird damage prevention sleeve for a power transmission tower. Background Art
[0002] Transmission towers are key structures in power systems, supporting high-voltage transmission lines. They hold the wires high, ensuring a safe distance to prevent electric shock to people and animals, and to protect the lines from obstacles such as trees. Transmission towers are categorized into various types based on their specific environments and requirements. For example, they are primarily made of wood, concrete (including prestressed concrete), steel, and composite materials. Wooden towers are lower cost but have a shorter service life. Concrete towers offer high durability and are suitable for most environments. Steel towers offer high strength and are suitable for more complex terrain. Composite towers are lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
[0003] Existing bird control technologies mostly include bird spikes, bird covers, bird baffles, bird pins, bird scarers, and electronic (sound, light, or electricity) bird repellent devices. These are primarily used to prevent birds from landing on towers and block bird droppings from flowing through live parts, but they cannot effectively prevent birds from moving around the crossarms of towers (above live parts). Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a retractable bird-proof casing for transmission towers. In the bird-proofing work of transmission high-voltage line towers, it can effectively limit the range and residence time of birds on the transmission towers, especially above the live bodies, thereby preventing the occurrence of transmission line failures caused by bird activities.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows: a telescopic bird-proof casing for a transmission tower includes a plurality of tube bodies, and adjacent tube bodies are telescopically connected. An opening is provided at the bottom of the tube body, and a magnetic clip is provided at the edge of the opening. A convex and concave slot is provided at the top of the tube body, and an anti-slip stop corresponding to the convex and concave slot is provided at the end of the tube body.
[0006] Furthermore, the tube body is in an "Ω" shape.
[0007] Furthermore, the tube body is made of PVC plastic.
[0008] Furthermore, the tube body includes a first tube, a second tube, a third tube and a fourth tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the magnetic clip includes a first magnetic clip fixedly arranged on the left edge of the opening, and a second magnetic clip fixedly arranged on the right edge of the opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the tube body is 10-12 cm, the length of the tube body is 20 cm, and the gap of the opening is 0.8-1.2 cm.
[0011] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the tube body is not less than 5 mm.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Previously, many bird protection devices simply prevented birds and bird droppings from approaching live objects. This invention, however, addresses the range of bird activity based on the body and living habits of birds. This significantly reduces the frequency and duration of bird activity around live objects on power transmission lines, thereby lowering the probability of transmission line failures caused by bird damage. During bird protection work on high-voltage transmission line towers, the device effectively limits the range and duration of bird activity on transmission towers, particularly above live objects. This in turn prevents transmission line failures caused by bird activity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that all directional words such as up, down, front, back, left, and right appearing in the present invention do not limit the present invention, but are only for the purpose of more clearly illustrating and explaining the present invention. Example 1
[0020] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment discloses a telescopic bird-proof casing for a transmission tower, which includes a plurality of pipe bodies 1, and adjacent pipe bodies 1 are telescopically connected, an opening 2 is provided at the bottom of the pipe body 1, and a magnetic clip 3 is provided at the edge of the opening 2, a convex and concave slot 4 is provided at the top of the pipe body 1, and an anti-slip stop corresponding to the convex and concave slot 4 is provided at the end of the pipe body 1.
[0021] For optimal results, the overall design utilizes an "Ω"-shaped PVC plastic tube, with an opening 2 at one end approximately 1cm and a diameter of 10-12cm. The total length is 80cm, divided into four equal sections, each 20cm long, with telescopic connections that can be stretched and retracted to control length as needed. The upper sections of the four-section shrink tube have convex and concave slots 4 for easy extension and retraction, and each section has anti-slip notches at both ends. Magnetic clips 3 are added to the lower opening 2 (on both edges) to facilitate securement to the angle iron and prevent slippage. The magnetic clips 3 have a suction force of no less than H36. The PVC plastic tube has a wall thickness of no less than 5mm, is smooth and difficult for birds to grab, and is available in white and sky blue. The overall design weighs no more than 0.5kg, making it easy to carry and install.
[0022] The "Ω"-shaped sleeve is the key point to prevent birds from falling or staying; the telescopic connection is convenient for carrying and adjustment, and can be adjusted according to on-site needs; a magnetic piece is added at the lower end to strengthen fixation, avoid unintentional displacement, and facilitate manual disassembly. Example 2
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a telescopic bird-proof casing for a transmission tower, which includes a plurality of pipe bodies 1, and adjacent pipe bodies 1 are telescopically connected, an opening 2 is provided at the bottom of the pipe body 1, and a magnetic clip 3 is provided at the edge of the opening 2, a convex and concave slot 4 is provided at the top of the pipe body 1, and an anti-slip stop corresponding to the convex and concave slot 4 is provided at the end of the pipe body 1.
[0024] For better effect, the tube body 1 is in an "Ω" shape, the material of the tube body 1 is PVC plastic, the tube body 1 includes a first tube 5, a second tube 6, a third tube 7 and a fourth tube 8, the magnetic clip 3 includes a first magnetic sheet 9 fixedly arranged on the left edge of the opening 2, and a second magnetic sheet 10 fixedly arranged on the right edge of the opening 2. The diameter of the tube body 1 is 10-12 cm, the length of the tube body 1 is 20 cm, the gap of the opening 2 is 0.8-1.2 cm, and the wall thickness of the tube body 1 is not less than 5 mm.
[0025] When in use, install an "Ω"-shaped PVC plastic pipe on the angle iron of the transmission tower crossarm (above the live body) with the arc end facing upwards. Utilizing the fact that birds have three toes and cannot grab round objects, birds are unable to land or grab, and are unable to stand and move on the tower crossarm (above the live body), thus reducing their stay time.
[0026] The telescopic design allows for adjustable protection length, making it easy to carry and install. Strong magnetic clips are installed at two openings at the lower end of the "Ω"-shaped PVC plastic pipe to secure it to the angle steel of the tower, preventing it from shifting or falling off. The PVC plastic pipe is available in white or sky blue to enhance visual perception in birds. Abandoning conventional bird prevention thinking, the strategy prioritizes active defense, supplemented by channel blocking. By observing the physical characteristics and living habits of birds and adjusting the surface structure of the transmission tower crossarms, the frequent transmission line failures caused by bird infestation can be addressed.
[0027] Previous bird deterrents were mostly made of metal, which was heavy, difficult to carry to high places, and complicated to install. This invention uses PVC plastic tubing, which is lightweight, retractable, and easy to carry. It also features a slot-and-magnetic mounting system for easy installation.
[0028] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
