Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird deterrent technology, specifically a bird deterrent device for substations. Background Technology

[0002] Birds nest, perch, or defecate on substation equipment, which can cause problems such as short circuits and poor contact, thus affecting the normal power supply and the lifespan of the equipment. Therefore, installing bird deterrent devices in substations is of great significance for ensuring power supply, reducing safety hazards, improving power grid stability, and promoting ecological protection.

[0003] According to CN216018746U, an energy-saving bird deterrent device for power distribution lines is disclosed. This technology discloses a technical solution such as "an energy-saving bird deterrent device for power distribution lines, including a bird deterrent device body, an extension rod movably sleeved on the inner wall of the bird deterrent device body, a column located outside the bird deterrent device body fixedly installed on the upper end face of the extension rod, and a support frame fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the column". It has the technical effect of "through the cooperation between the bird deterrent device body, the lifting device, the fan blade and the reflector, the circumferential rotation of the first gear in the lifting device drives the vertical lifting movement of the ruler strip, realizing the lifting movement of the column, achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the fan blade, and effectively solving the problem of the fixed height of the bird deterrent device body".

[0004] Because the angle of the reflector in the above scheme is fixed, the reflection range is limited during rotation and cannot cover all critical areas of the substation or transmission line. This means that birds may still nest, stay, or defecate in these uncovered areas, which could lead to safety accidents or equipment damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a bird deterrent device for substations, which has the feature that the reflector can also rotate back and forth slightly during the revolution, thereby reflecting a wider range of light and more effectively preventing birds from staying or nesting in specific areas.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bird deterrent device for substations, comprising a mounting frame, wherein a bird deterrent mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame for deterring birds, the bird deterrent mechanism comprising:

[0007] The main components include a housing fixed to the upper end of the mounting bracket and a sun gear fixed to the top of the housing;

[0008] The transmission assembly includes three housings slidably mounted on the outer wall of the housing, a planetary gear rotatably mounted at the upper end of the housing and meshing with the sun gear for transmission, a transmission bevel gear fixed at the lower end of the planetary gear, a driven bevel gear rotatably mounted inside the housing and meshing with the transmission bevel gear for transmission, a crank fixed at the shaft of the driven bevel gear, a slide rod pivotally connected to the other end of the crank, and a circular block rotatably mounted at the lower end of the housing, with the slide rod slidably mounted through the circular block.

[0009] An actuation component, located in the transmission component, is used to reflect light through a lens.

[0010] Preferably, the main component further includes a motor installed inside the housing, a triangular bracket fixed at the motor output end, and the end of the triangular bracket fixed to the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the actuating component further includes a nut sleeve rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the outer end of the mounting cylinder, and the inner wall of the nut sleeve is threadedly connected to the screw head.

[0013] Preferably, the bird deterrent mechanism further includes a protrusion fixed to the outer wall of the inner end of the housing and a groove formed on the outer wall of the outer edge of the housing.

[0014] Preferably, the main body component further includes a conical top cover fixed to the center of the top of the triangular bracket.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This utility model provides a bird deterrent device for substations. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0017] (1) The output end of the motor drives the triangular bracket to rotate the housing along the base. At the same time, the sun gear causes the planetary gear to rotate. The planetary gear drives the crank to rotate through the transmission bevel gear and the driven bevel gear. The crank drives the slide rod to slide back and forth along the inside of the circular block and causes the circular block to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude. This causes the circular block to drive the actuator to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude, thereby reflecting a wider range of light and more effectively preventing birds from staying or nesting in specific areas. Furthermore, the actuator only swings in a small amplitude, so it will not reflect downwards, avoiding any impact on ground personnel.

[0018] (2) When the second convex mirror revolves, it revolves synchronously with the first convex mirror to increase the reflection range above; when the tripod rotates, it also drives the conical top cover to rotate, preventing birds from landing here and covering the sun wheel below.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a bird deterrent device for substations, including a mounting frame 1, on which a bird deterrent mechanism 2 is provided for deterring birds, the bird deterrent mechanism 2 including:

[0026] The main component 21 includes a housing 211 fixed to the upper end of the mounting bracket 1, and a sun gear 212 fixed to the top of the housing 211;

[0027] The transmission assembly 22 includes three housings 221 slidably mounted on the outer wall of the housing 211, a planetary gear 222 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the housing 221 and meshing with the sun gear 212 for transmission, a transmission bevel gear 223 fixed at the lower end of the planetary gear 222, a driven bevel gear 224 rotatably mounted on the housing 221 and meshing with the transmission bevel gear 223 for transmission, a crank 225 fixed at the shaft of the driven bevel gear 224, a slide rod 226 pivotally connected to the other end of the crank 225, and a circular block 227 rotatably mounted on the lower end of the housing 221, with the slide rod 226 slidably inserted through the circular block 227.

[0028] The actuation component 23 is disposed in the transmission component 22 and is used to reflect light through the lens.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the housing 221 revolves around the housing base 211, the sun gear 212 causes the planetary gear 222 to rotate. The planetary gear 222, through the transmission bevel gear 223 and the driven bevel gear 224, drives the crank 225 to rotate. The crank 225 drives the slide rod 226 to slide back and forth along the inside of the circular block 227, and drives the circular block 227 to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude. This also causes the circular block 227 to drive the actuator 23 to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude, thereby reflecting a wider range of light and more effectively preventing birds from stopping or nesting in specific areas. Furthermore, the actuator 23 only swings in a small amplitude, so it will not reflect downwards, avoiding any impact on ground personnel.

[0030] Specifically, the main component 21 also includes a motor 213 installed inside the housing 211, a triangular bracket 214 fixed at the output end of the motor 213, and the end of the triangular bracket 214 fixed to the housing 221.

[0031] In this embodiment, the output end of the motor 213 drives the triangular bracket 214 to drive the execution component 23 on the transmission component 22 to rotate dynamically, triggering the birds' alert instinct and preventing the birds from staying here.

[0032] Specifically, the execution component 23 includes a first convex mirror 231 fixed on the crank 225, a mounting cylinder 232 fixed at the outer end of the first convex mirror 231, a screw head 234 installed inside the mounting cylinder 232, a sliding groove 235 opened on the screw head 234 for sliding installation between the screw head 234 and the mounting cylinder 232, and a second convex mirror 236 fixed at the outer end of the screw head 234.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the second convex mirror 236 revolves, it revolves synchronously with the first convex mirror 231, thereby increasing the reflection range above.

[0034] Specifically, the actuator 23 also includes a nut sleeve 233 that is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the outer end of the mounting cylinder 232, and the inner wall of the nut sleeve 233 is threadedly mounted to the screw head 234.

[0035] In this embodiment, rotating the nut sleeve 233 can drive the screw head 234 to slide along the inside of the mounting cylinder 232, thereby allowing the second convex mirror 236 to be disassembled and replaced.

[0036] Specifically, the bird deterrent mechanism 2 also includes a protrusion 24 fixed to the outer wall of the inner end of the housing 221 and a groove 25 opened on the outer wall of the outer edge of the housing 211.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the housing 221 moves, the protrusion 24 slides along the groove 25 on the housing 221, thereby guiding and limiting the movement of the housing 221.

[0038] Specifically, the main component 21 also includes a conical top cover 215 fixed to the center of the top of the triangular bracket 214.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the triangular bracket 214 rotates, it also drives the conical top cover 215 to rotate, preventing birds from landing there and covering the sun wheel 212 below.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the output end of the motor 213 drives the triangular bracket 214 to drive the housing 221 to revolve around the base 211. At the same time, the sun gear 212 causes the planetary gear 222 to rotate. The planetary gear 222 drives the crank 225 to rotate through the transmission bevel gear 223 and the driven bevel gear 224. The crank 225 drives the slide rod 226 to slide back and forth along the inside of the circular block 227, and drives the circular block 227 to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude. This also causes the circular block 227 to drive the actuator 23 to rotate back and forth in a small amplitude, thereby reflecting a wider range of light and more effectively preventing birds from stopping or nesting in specific areas. Furthermore, the actuator 23 only swings with a small amplitude, so it will not reflect downwards, avoiding any impact on ground personnel.
