Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit devices for power supply or power distribution, and in particular to a power supply system for a bird repeller. Background Art

[0002] In the field of power system operation and maintenance, transmission lines often experience flashover and tripping due to birds nesting and resting, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. To address this problem, various bird scarers have emerged, using sound, light, and other means to repel birds. However, their continued stable operation is highly dependent on reliable power supply support.

[0003] The power supply methods of existing bird scarers have obvious limitations: some rely on external power supplies, but transmission towers are mostly distributed in remote areas such as farmland and plains, the cable laying cost is high, construction is difficult, and they are easily damaged by the natural environment; some are powered by disposable batteries, which not only require frequent manual replacement and high maintenance costs, but also are difficult to adapt to long-term outdoor operation needs, and the bird repellent function can easily fail due to power depletion.

[0004] In addition, there are abundant renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy in the outdoor environment, but the existing technology lacks an efficient energy collection and storage system designed for bird scarers. Either the energy utilization form is single (such as relying solely on solar energy), which makes it difficult to cope with complex weather such as cloudy days and no wind; or the energy collection device has a fixed angle and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to light and wind direction, resulting in low energy conversion efficiency; at the same time, the power supply system is not compatible with the installation of bird scarers and poles, which also limits its actual application effect.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a power supply system that can adapt to the working scenarios of bird scarers, combine multiple renewable energy sources, have efficient energy collection and storage capabilities, and is easy to install, so as to solve the defects of existing power supply methods in reliability, economy, and adaptability, and ensure the long-term and stable operation of bird scarers.

[0026] The present invention is further described below through implementation methods. The following description is merely an exemplary explanation. Those skilled in the art can make further structural improvements based on the following explanation. The scope of protection of this patent shall be based on the scope recorded in the claims.

[0027] like Figure 1 The figure shows the schematic diagram of the present invention. The DC power generated by the solar panel is fed into the charge controller U1 via the anti-reverse charge diode D1. The AC power generated by the wind turbine is converted to DC by the rectifier bridge BR1 and also fed into U1. As the energy convergence core, the charge controller U1 stabilizes and consolidates the solar and wind power, then transmits the current to the lithium battery 6 through the fuse F1 for energy storage. The lithium battery 65 supplies power to the system via the main power switch S1. The charge controller also has a built-in overcharge protection function that automatically shuts off the charging circuit when the lithium battery is fully charged, preventing battery damage. The voltage monitoring unit U2 monitors the lithium battery voltage in real time. If the battery level is too low, feedback is sent to the controller 74, triggering low-battery protection (such as suspending non-essential loads).

[0028] After receiving power, the controller 74 controls the laser bird repellent 72 to emit dynamic light spots and the speaker 73 to emit bird repellent sound waves;

[0029] The controller synchronously controls the electric push rod 62 to drive the electric clamping claw 63 to achieve the clamping / relaxing of the battery box 64.

[0030] The charge controller uses the MPPT charge controller of the EPEVER Tracer AN G3 series, which is suitable for a variety of solar and wind power generation systems with different powers and can effectively improve energy conversion efficiency.

[0031] The voltage monitoring unit uses the ONSEMI MC33161 universal voltage monitor, which accurately monitors lithium battery voltage. Its two internal comparator channels with hysteresis enable flexible overvoltage, undervoltage, and window voltage detection. The voltage monitoring unit is connected to the lithium battery for real-time voltage monitoring.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 5, the hardware structure of this power supply system includes a base structure 1, a solar power supply mechanism 2, a wind power generation mechanism 3, a column 4, and an energy storage mechanism 6. Column 4 is vertically mounted on base structure 1, serving as the supporting framework for the entire system. Solar power supply mechanism 2 and wind power generation mechanism 3 are mounted at different locations on column 4, jointly responsible for energy collection. Energy storage mechanism 6 is mounted at the bottom of base structure 1, storing electrical energy and providing counterweight for the system.

[0033] The base mechanism 1 is made of insulating material (such as high-strength plastic) with good insulation performance to avoid interference with the power transmission line. It includes a box body 11 and a U-shaped fixing plate 12.

[0034] A socket 111 is provided on the side of the box body 11, and one end of the U-shaped fixing plate 12 can be inserted into the socket 111 to achieve preliminary positioning.

[0035] The U-shaped fixing plate 12 has a bolt hole at its lower portion, and the bottom of the box body 11 has a threaded hole at a corresponding position. After the fixing bolt passes through the bolt hole and connects with the threaded hole, the U-shaped fixing plate 12 and the box body 11 can be locked.

[0036] The U-shaped fixing plate 12 is further provided with a cable positioning groove 121. The cable 5 is placed in the positioning groove, which can effectively prevent the cable from moving and ensure that the entire device is firmly installed on the cable.

[0037] The solar power supply mechanism 2 is mounted on the column 4 and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Its structure is shown in Figures 1 and 2 and includes a fixing sleeve 21, a first connecting rod 22, a second connecting rod 23, a locking bolt 24 and a solar panel 25.

[0038] The solar cell panel 25 is fixed to the end of the first connecting rod 22 and can efficiently receive sunlight.

[0039] The middle portion of the first connecting rod 22 is connected to the middle portion of the second connecting rod 23 via a locking bolt 24, and mutually meshing gear rings 26 are provided at corresponding positions of the two.

[0040] When the first connecting rod 22 is rotated, the meshing action of the gear ring 26 can drive the solar panel 25 to rotate around the second connecting rod 23, thereby adjusting the angle of the solar panel (to adapt to different periods of sunlight); after the angle is determined, tightening the locking bolt 24 can fix the first and second connecting rods.

[0041] The wind power generation mechanism 3 is installed at the top of the column 4 and is used to convert wind energy into electrical energy. It also has the function of assisting bird repelling. Its structure is shown in Figures 1 and 2 and includes a rotating base 31, fan blades 32 and a wind generator 33.

[0042] The wind turbine 33 adopts an existing mature structure. The rotating base 31 is installed on the top of the column 4 through the wind turbine 33, and the blades 32 are evenly distributed around the rotating base 31;

[0043] The side of the fan blade 32 is equipped with a reflector, which can reflect light when the fan blade rotates, forming a visual stimulation for birds.

[0044] A bell piece 8 is provided at the bottom of the rotating seat 31, and a stop column 81 is provided at a corresponding position on the column 4. When the rotating seat rotates, the bell piece 8 collides with the stop column 81 to make a sound, further enhancing the bird-repelling effect.

[0045] The electric energy storage mechanism 6 is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped fixing plate 12 in the base mechanism 1. Its structure is shown in Figures 3 and 4 and includes a fixing frame 61, an electric push rod 62, an electric clamp 63, a battery box 64 and a lithium battery 65:

[0046] The fixed frame 61 is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped fixed plate 12 by bolts, and the left and right electric push rods 62 are symmetrically installed inside the fixed frame 61, and their movable ends are respectively connected to the electric clamps 63;

[0047] There are card slots on both sides of the battery box 64. When the electric push rod 62 drives the electric clamping claw 63 to extend, the clamping claw can be clamped into the card slot to clamp the battery box 64.

[0048] The lithium battery 65 is placed in the battery box 64 , and its capacity can be selected according to the power consumption requirements of the system. It is used to store the electricity generated by the solar power supply mechanism 2 and the wind power generation mechanism 3 , and to power the electric push rod 62 and the bird-repelling mechanism 7 .

[0049] The bird-repelling mechanism 7 is mounted on the rotating seat 31 and is powered by the power storage mechanism 6 . Its structure is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , and includes a support frame 71 , a laser bird-repelling device 72 , a speaker 73 , a controller 74 and a spherical cover 75 .

[0050] The rotating seat 31 is mounted on the top of the column 4 through a bearing and can rotate freely; the spherical cover 75 is installed in the middle of the rotating seat 31 to cover the internal components for protection.

[0051] The laser bird repellent 72 is mounted on the spherical cover 75 and can use a 532nm wavelength green laser bird repellent (covering a range of up to 2000 meters) or a high-brightness LED strong light device to deter birds through dynamic light spots.

[0052] The support frame 71 is fixed on the top of the column 4, and the controller 74 (for controlling the laser bird repellent and the speaker) is installed on the support frame 71; the speaker 73 is installed at the center of the top of the column 4 and can emit bird-repelling sound waves.

[0053] Controller 74 utilizes a low-power microcontroller (such as the STM32 or MSP430 series), featuring miniaturization and interference resistance, making it adaptable to complex outdoor environments such as high and low temperatures and humidity. Controller 74 coordinates the operation of the laser bird repellent 72 and loudspeaker 73 based on environmental trigger signals (such as timing commands and bird activity sensing signals), achieving efficient bird repellency. For example, the controller can automatically switch bird repellent modes based on environmental characteristics (such as light intensity, indirectly determined by the operating status of the associated solar power supply). During daytime, when there is ample light, the laser bird repellent is activated first, using the dynamic spot of a 532nm green laser to visually deter birds. At night or in low light, the loudspeaker automatically switches to operating mode, emitting sound waves of a specific frequency (such as raptor calls or ultrasound) to achieve auditory repellency, thus preventing birds from adapting to a single method.

[0054] The controller can also monitor the battery status of the lithium battery in real time (via the voltage detection module):

[0055] When the battery level is higher than 80% (safety threshold), the laser bird repellent and horn are controlled to continue working at rated power to ensure the bird repellent effect;

[0056] When the battery level drops to 20%-80%, the device maintains normal operation but shortens the operating time of each bird-repelling device (e.g., extending the laser irradiation interval and shortening the horn sounding time) to balance the bird-repelling effect and energy consumption.

[0057] When the battery level is lower than 20% (protection threshold), the power of the bird-repelling device will be automatically reduced or non-essential operations will be suspended, leaving only the basic bird-repelling function, preventing the lithium battery from over-discharging and extending its service life.

[0058] The focus of the present application is on the structure. Since the controller is a prior art, the details will not be described in detail. Those skilled in the art can adjust the trigger signal inside the controller according to the hardware structure.

[0059] Working process

[0060] Solar power supply mechanism 2 receives sunlight through solar panels 25 and converts it into electricity. Wind power generation mechanism 3 generates electricity by rotating blades 32 to drive wind turbine 33. Both types of electricity are transmitted via cables to lithium battery 65 in energy storage mechanism 6 for storage. Lithium battery 65 powers electric actuator 62 (fixed to a control battery box) and bird repellent mechanism 7 (including laser bird repellent 72 and speaker 73), ensuring continuous operation of the bird repellent function. Simultaneously, the wind power generation mechanism's reflective mirrors and the sound produced by the impact of bells synergize with the bird repellent mechanism to enhance the bird repellent effect.

[0061] This implementation effectively solves the power supply problem of the bird scarer through multi-energy coordinated power supply and structural optimization design. It has stable installation and reliable functions and is suitable for long-term use in scenarios such as outdoor transmission towers.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
