Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bird-proofing devices for utility poles, and in particular to a bird-proofing spacer for a utility pole crossarm. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent birds from perching on the crossarms of utility poles, bird-proofing devices are typically installed. For example, Chinese Patent CN222264161U discloses a bird-proof straight pole spacer, which includes a protective sleeve comprising an upper and lower semi-circular sleeve with smooth outer surfaces, hinged together; hooks positioned on opposite sides of the hinge point; and a connector for connecting the two hooks. This patent, by placing the bird-proof straight pole spacer on the crossarm and securing the protective sleeve with the connector and hooks, effectively prevents birds from perching or nesting on the crossarms of utility poles due to the smooth outer surface of the sleeve, thus reducing damage to power lines and potential safety hazards. In practical applications, if the crossarm itself has a larger size (such as a crossarm with a circular cross-section and a larger diameter), the corresponding upper and lower semicircular sleeves will also be set to be larger. In this way, the arc on the top surface of the upper semicircular sleeve will be more gentle (relatively flatter), providing a possible standing support surface for birds. Some birds may adapt and successfully stand on it after multiple attempts, eventually causing the protective function to fail. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bird-proof spacer for utility pole crossarms, which solves the problem that existing bird-proof spacers, even with larger dimensions, may provide birds with a larger standing support surface.

[0004] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a bird-proofing device for a utility pole crossarm includes an arc-shaped mounting plate that covers the crossarm along its length. The arc-shaped mounting plate has detachable half-hoops at both ends along its length to fix it to the crossarm. Rigid bird spikes are also provided on the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate. By providing rigid bird spikes on the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate, combined with the arc-shaped structure, the device can prevent birds from standing on it even with a larger size, thus solving the problem in existing bird-proofing devices that may provide a larger standing support surface for birds when larger in size.

[0005] Furthermore, the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate is also provided with flexible bird spikes spaced apart from the rigid bird spikes, and the length of the flexible bird spikes is greater than that of the rigid bird spikes.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom surfaces on both sides of the arc-shaped mounting plate along the width direction are respectively provided with connecting planes, and the two ends of the half hoop are respectively fixedly connected with connecting ears, and the two connecting ears are respectively connected to the two connecting planes by the first bolt.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting ear is located within the coverage area of ​​the curved mounting plate.

[0008] According to the embodiment, another type of bird-proof device for utility pole crossarms is also provided, which includes an arc-shaped mounting plate that can cover the crossarm along its length. The arc-shaped mounting plate can also be detachably connected to half-hoops at both ends along its length. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the half-hoops, and the connecting plate is detachably connected to the crossarm by a second bolt.

[0009] Furthermore, rigid bird spikes are also provided on the top surface of the curved mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate is also provided with flexible bird spikes spaced apart from the rigid bird spikes, and the length of the flexible bird spikes is greater than that of the rigid bird spikes.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surfaces on both sides of the arc-shaped mounting plate along the width direction are respectively provided with connecting planes, and the two ends of the half hoop are respectively fixedly connected with connecting ears, and the two connecting ears are respectively connected to the two connecting planes by the first bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting ear is located within the coverage area of ​​the curved mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The rigid bird spikes divide the top surface into two sections, with the middle section occupied by the rigid bird spikes. Even with a larger curved mounting plate, the area on the top surface available for birds to stand on will not increase, thus preventing birds from standing on it. This solves the problem that existing bird standers may provide a larger standing support surface for birds when they are larger in size. It also provides another type of bird stander that can be easily installed on non-circular crossarms. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0023] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a bird-proof spacer for a utility pole crossarm, which includes an arc-shaped mounting plate 1. The arc-shaped mounting plate 1 can cover the crossarm 2 along the length direction. The outer surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 is a smooth arc shape. Half-hoops 3 can be detachably connected to both ends of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 along the length direction to fix the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 on the crossarm 2. Rigid bird spikes 4 are also provided on the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1. In this solution, the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 is equivalent to the upper semicircular sleeve in the prior art. However, in this solution, rigid bird spikes 4 (such as steel needles) are set on the top surface. This divides the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 into two parts on both sides and the rigid bird spikes 4 in the middle. The rigid bird spikes 4 are arranged along the length of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1, and one or more rows can be set according to specific circumstances. This prevents the top surface, which becomes flat due to the increased size, from providing a foothold for birds (birds flying over will be pricked by the rigid bird spikes 4 and thus abandon their perch). Therefore, this solves the problem in the prior art where bird perches may provide a larger foothold for birds when the size is larger. Furthermore, flexible bird spikes 5 are also set on the top surface of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1, spaced apart from the rigid bird spikes 4. The length of the flexible bird spikes 5 is greater than that of the rigid bird spikes 4. The flexible bird spikes 5 can be thin rod structures made of plastic, unlike the steel needles. Similarly, it will not actually harm birds, but serves more as a warning. At the same time, the longer flexible bird spikes 5 cover the rigid bird spikes 4 inside, which can also prevent workers from being accidentally scratched or stabbed by the rigid bird spikes 4 during maintenance and installation. In addition, there can be a large gap between the flexible bird spikes 5 and the rigid bird spikes 4 to reduce the total number of spikes. If a bird tries to stand and successfully avoids the flexible bird spikes 5, it will be stabbed by the rigid bird spikes 4, thus preventing the bird from standing. More specifically, the bottom surfaces of the arc-shaped mounting plate 1 along the width direction are respectively provided with connecting planes. The two ends of the half hoop 3 are respectively fixedly connected with connecting ears 6, and the two connecting ears 6 are respectively connected to the two connecting planes by the first bolt 7, thus realizing a detachable connection. At the same time, the connecting ears 6 are within the coverage area of ​​the arc-shaped mounting plate 1, preventing the connecting ears 6 from providing possible standing space for birds.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the bird-proof spacer provided in the above embodiment can be well applied to the crossarm 2 with a circular cross section, but cannot be smoothly installed on crossarm 2 of other shapes, such as the crossarm 2 of angle steel structure. Therefore, this application provides another bird-proof spacer. Unlike the above solution, a connecting plate 8 is also fixedly connected to the half hoop 3, and the connecting plate 8 is detachably connected to the crossarm 2 by the second bolt 9. This setting allows the bird-proof spacer to be installed on crossarm 2 of other shapes. In a more detailed solution, the connecting plate 8 and the half hoop 3 can be detachably connected, which is suitable for both circular structures and other structures, and has better adaptability.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
