Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pole-mounted circuit breaker technology, specifically to a pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird deterrent mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Pole-mounted circuit breakers are circuit breakers installed and operated on utility poles. Significant progress has been made in the research and manufacturing technology of various circuit breakers. Vacuum circuit breakers are no longer limited to medium-voltage power grids but are developing towards high voltage and large capacity. Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers have many advantages, such as strong breaking capacity, high continuous breaking capacity, frequent operation, low operating noise, and no fire hazard, making them an excellent oil-free device.

[0003] Existing pole-mounted circuit breakers are usually installed on utility poles at a certain height and are often placed in the open air. Therefore, there is often a problem of birds perching on the pole-mounted circuit breakers or building nests on them.

[0004] When birds are active on circuit breakers, they may cause malfunctions in the internal mechanical structure, such as triggering switches or changing the position of contacts, leading to line tripping, power outages, and inconvenience and economic losses for users. If birds defecate on circuit breakers, their droppings may adhere to insulators or other insulating components, reducing their insulation performance, increasing the risk of leakage and flashover, and in severe cases, causing insulation breakdown and power outages. When birds nest on circuit breakers, they may use materials such as twigs and wires. If these materials fall onto critical parts of the circuit breaker, such as between contacts or on insulators, they may cause short circuits or grounding faults, affecting the normal operation of the circuit breaker. Bird droppings contain acidic substances, which, if accumulated on the surface of the circuit breaker over a long period, may corrode the metal components of the equipment, reducing its service life and reliability. In some cases, short circuits caused by birds may generate electrical sparks, which, if flammable materials are present, could ignite a fire, causing serious damage to power facilities and the surrounding environment.

[0005] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222106564U discloses a pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird-repelling mechanism, relating to the field of pole-mounted circuit breaker technology. It includes a first mounting base and a pole-mounted circuit breaker. The pole-mounted circuit breaker is mounted on the outside of the first mounting base. Symmetrically distributed generator sets are mounted on the upper and lower sides of the pole-mounted circuit breaker, and a storage battery is fixedly installed at the front end of the pole-mounted circuit breaker. This pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird-repelling mechanism, through the coordinated use of the generator sets, mounting base, and bird-repelling blades, allows the generator sets to be mounted on the upper and lower sides of the pole-mounted circuit breaker. The mounting base and bird-repelling blades are mounted on the input shaft of the generator sets. Under the action of natural wind, the bird-repelling blades can be pushed by the wind force, driving the input shaft of the generator sets to rotate through the mounting base. The rotation of the bird-repelling blades drives away birds near the pole-mounted circuit breaker, thereby achieving bird-repelling operation and preventing damage to the pole-mounted circuit breaker.

[0006] The pole-mounted circuit breaker proposed in the aforementioned patent drives away birds using bird-repelling blades and sonic bird deterrents. While this method can achieve some bird-repelling effect, the rotating bird-repelling blades can harm birds during use, and the sonic bird deterrents generate noise, which is not conducive to practical use.

[0007] Therefore, the applicant has made beneficial designs and found a way to solve the above problems. The technical solution to be introduced below is generated in this context. Utility Model Content

[0008] The present invention provides a pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird deterrent mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird-repelling mechanism includes a base, a plurality of poles on the top of the base, a plurality of infrared sensors arrayed on the top of the base and the surface of the poles, a plurality of gas canisters on one side of the base, the gas canisters containing diluted bird repellent, a solenoid valve at the output end of the gas canister, a misting nozzle at the output end of the solenoid valve, a bracket on one side of the base, a solar panel at the end of the bracket away from the base, a battery on the top of the bracket, the infrared sensors being electrically connected to the solenoid valve via a relay, the solar panel being electrically connected to the battery, and the battery being electrically connected to the solenoid valve and the infrared sensors.

[0011] Preferably, the solar panel is tilted upwards.

[0012] Preferably, the atomizing nozzle is positioned close to the base and in the direction of the pole.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solutions of one or more of the pole-mounted circuit breakers with bird-repelling mechanisms provided in this embodiment of the utility model have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0015] This invention, through the aforementioned technical solution, utilizes several infrared sensors to capture infrared radiation around the object when birds perch on the pole-mounted circuit breaker. This infrared radiation is converted into electrical signals, which in turn open a solenoid valve via a relay. The solenoid valve then delivers bird-repellent dilution from the gas cylinder to an atomizing nozzle, which sprays the diluted bird-repellent solution, thus repelling the birds. This invention not only effectively repels birds, preventing them from perching on or nesting on the pole-mounted circuit breaker, but also ensures that the birds are not harmed during actual use. It achieves the goal of repelling birds while simultaneously protecting their lives. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1-2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird-repelling mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] In this embodiment, a pole-mounted circuit breaker 1 is included. The pole-mounted circuit breaker 1 includes a base 2, and a plurality of pole posts 3 are provided on the top of the base 2. A plurality of infrared sensors 4 are arrayed on the top of the base 2 and the surface of the pole posts 3. A plurality of gas canisters 5 are provided on one side of the base 2. The gas canisters 5 contain bird repellent diluent. The gas canisters 5 are all detachable for easy replacement and replenishment. A solenoid valve 6 is provided at the output end of the gas canister 5. An atomizing nozzle 7 is provided at the output end of the solenoid valve 6. The atomizing nozzle 7 is used to atomize the bird repellent diluent for more uniform spraying. A bracket 8 is provided on one side of the base 2. A solar panel 9 is provided at the end of the bracket 8 opposite to the base 2. A battery 10 is provided on the top of the bracket 8. The infrared sensors 4 are electrically connected to the solenoid valve 6 via a relay. The solar panel 9 is electrically connected to the battery 10 via wires. The solar panel 9 charges the battery 10. The battery 10 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 6 and the infrared sensors 5 via wires. The battery 10 provides power to the infrared sensors 4, the relay, and the solenoid valve 6. When birds land on the pole-mounted circuit breaker 1, several infrared sensors 4 capture the infrared radiation around the object and convert it into an electrical signal. This signal is then used to open a solenoid valve 6 via a relay. The solenoid valve 6 delivers the bird repellent diluent from the gas tank 5 to the atomizing nozzle 7, which sprays the diluted bird repellent solution, thus repelling the birds. Once the birds have flown away, the infrared sensors 4 can no longer detect them, and the solenoid valve 6 is closed via a relay, stopping the release of the bird repellent diluent.

[0026] In this embodiment, the solar panel 9 is tilted upwards. This structure facilitates the solar panel 9 receiving solar radiation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the atomizing nozzle 7 is positioned close to the base 2 and the pole post 3. This structure ensures that the diluted bird repellent sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 7 is close to the pole-mounted circuit breaker 1, guaranteeing the bird repellent effect.

[0028] The pole-mounted circuit breaker with a bird-repelling mechanism of this utility model can be installed, connected, or set in a common mechanical manner, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0029] All technologies not described in detail in this utility model are known technologies. Those skilled in the art can easily implement this utility model based on their understanding of this specification, and the contents shown in the accompanying drawings are part of this specification.

[0030] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
