Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of power poles and towers, and in particular to a bird deterrent device for power poles and towers. Background Technology

[0002] Power poles serve to support overhead transmission line conductors and ground wires, maintaining a certain distance between them and the ground to ensure the safety and stability of power transmission. They are made of wood, steel, aluminum alloy, or reinforced concrete. Wooden poles are obsolete; steel poles are divided into truss and steel pipe types, with lattice truss poles being the main structure for ultra-high voltage lines; aluminum alloy poles are used in mountainous areas where transportation is difficult; and reinforced concrete poles have a short production cycle, long lifespan, and are easy to maintain.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 203326526 U, which discloses a bird deterrent for power poles. The device includes a fixed base, an L-shaped rotating arm, and a lightweight hollow sphere. A sleeve with a built-in bearing is vertically mounted above the fixed base. The lower end of the rotating arm passes through the bearing within the sleeve, and the other end of the rotating arm horizontally penetrates the central axis of the lightweight hollow sphere. The surface of the lightweight hollow sphere has outwardly extending side wings, and the middle of the rotating arm has a spring structure. The advantages of this invention are: simple structure, no use of electronic equipment, low cost, and low susceptibility to damage. Utilizing wind power, the lightweight hollow sphere can rotate and revolve, leaving birds no place to stand, thus achieving a good bird deterrent effect without harming the birds.

[0004] Existing technologies cannot solve the problem of birds perching on top of power poles. Since power poles are mostly constructed with insulators, birds are not harmed when perched on them. However, the dirt and grime they produce can accumulate on the insulators, especially on high-voltage lines. Their bodies can become conductors, causing short circuits between adjacent conductors and potentially leading to power outages. Furthermore, bird droppings are conductive and may cause short circuits or other electrical faults, threatening the stable operation of the power system and, in severe cases, even causing safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to drive away birds from top of power poles. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a bird deterrent for power poles.

[0006] This application provides a bird deterrent for power poles, comprising an insulator body and a mounting frame. The insulator body is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and a housing is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame. A bird deterrent mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame, comprising a limiting component, a striking component, a wind-powered component, and a maintenance component. The limiting component includes a limiting plate for limiting movement, the striking component includes a metal plate for emitting sound, the wind-powered component includes a wind box for collecting air, and the maintenance component includes a handle for pulling. A wind chime mechanism is provided below the mounting frame, and the wind chime mechanism includes a steel pipe for emitting sound.

[0007] Optionally, the limiting component includes a circular hole extending through the top of the mounting frame, a rotating rod disposed inside the circular hole, a limiting plate fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating rod, a circular groove formed on the top of the mounting frame, and multiple sliding posts fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limiting plate, the multiple sliding posts being slidably connected to the circular groove.

[0008] Optionally, the striking assembly includes external gears fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the housing and rotatably connected thereto. The external gears are fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the rotating rod. Gears are also rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the housing, and the gears mesh with the external gears.

[0009] Optionally, the striking assembly further includes a rotating column one fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear, a plurality of striking hammers fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating column one, a rotating column two rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing, and a metal plate fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the rotating column two.

[0010] Optionally, the wind power assembly includes multiple fixing plates fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the wind box is fixedly installed on one side of the multiple fixing plates.

[0011] Optionally, the maintenance assembly includes an access port on the front side of the enclosure, a door is hinged to the front side of the enclosure, a handle is fixedly installed on the front side of the door, and the door and the access port are adapted to each other.

[0012] Optionally, the wind chime mechanism includes a support plate fixedly installed on one side of the housing, an installation plate fixedly installed on one side of the support plate, a plurality of connecting ropes fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate, and a steel pipe fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting ropes.

[0013] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of components such as a circular hole, a rotating rod, a limiting plate, a sliding column, a circular groove, an external gear, a gear, a first rotating column, a striking hammer, a second rotating column, a metal plate, a fixing plate, and a wind box, utilizes wind power to drive the rotating rod to rotate, causing the outer external gear to rotate, and the linkage gear to rotate. This causes the striking hammer to strike the metal plate, thereby deterring birds from landing on the insulator body and preventing their bodies from becoming conductors, causing short circuits between adjacent conductors, and thus triggering power failures. This effectively protects the power supply.

[0015] 2. This utility model, by setting up components such as a support plate, mounting plate, connecting rope, and steel pipe, can disperse birds by having the steel pipes collide with each other when there is insufficient wind to move the wind box. This prevents birds from landing on the insulator body and effectively protects the insulators at the top of the power pole, preventing short circuits or other electrical faults caused by excrement.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4. This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses a bird deterrent for power poles, including an insulator body 1 and a mounting frame 10. The insulator body 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 10, and a box 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting frame 10. A bird deterrent mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 10. The bird deterrent mechanism 2 includes a limiting component 20, a striking component 21, a wind power component 22, and a maintenance component 23. The limiting component 20 includes a limiting plate 203 for limiting the position. The striking component 21 includes a metal plate 216 for emitting sound. The wind power component 22 includes a wind box 222 for collecting air. The maintenance component 23 includes a handle 233 for pulling.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 The limiting component 20 includes a circular hole 201 that passes through the top of the mounting bracket 10. A rotating rod 202 is disposed inside the circular hole 201. A limiting plate 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 202. A circular groove 205 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 10. Multiple sliding posts 204 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the limiting plate 203. The multiple sliding posts 204 are slidably connected to the circular groove 205. When rotating, the sliding posts 204 are driven to rotate inside the circular groove 205, effectively limiting the rotating rod 202 and preventing the rotating rod 202 from falling off when rotating.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 The striking assembly 21 includes an external gear 211 fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the housing 11 and rotatably connected to it. An external gear 212 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 202. The upper and lower sides of the housing 11 are also rotatably connected to the gear 212. The gear 212 meshes with the external gear 211. By starting the rotating rod 202 to rotate, the external gear 211 on the outer side rotates, and the linkage gear 212 rotates, thereby driving the striking assembly 21 to disperse birds from landing on the insulator body 1 and prevent their bodies from becoming conductors.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 The striking assembly 21 also includes a rotating column 213 fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear 212. Multiple striking hammers 214 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating column 213. A rotating column 215 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 11. A metal plate 216 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the rotating column 215. By activating the striking hammers 214 to strike the metal plate 216, birds are driven away from landing on the insulator body 1, thus preventing birds from conducting electricity and causing short circuits between adjacent wires, thereby causing power failures.

[0026] Please see Figure 2The wind power assembly 22 includes multiple fixed plates 221 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 202. The wind box 222 is fixedly installed on one side of the multiple fixed plates 221. The wind box 222 is moved by the wind, which drives the multiple fixed plates 221 to rotate on the surface of the rotating rod 202, thereby causing the rotating rod 202 to rotate in conjunction with the wind.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The maintenance component 23 includes an inspection port 231 on the front side of the housing 11. A door 232 is hinged to the front side of the housing 11. A handle 233 is fixedly installed on the front side of the door 232. The door 232 and the inspection port 231 are compatible. By manually holding the handle 233 and pulling it forward, the door 232 is separated from the housing 11, thereby opening the housing 11 and facilitating maintenance by workers.

[0028] A wind chime mechanism 3 is installed below the mounting bracket 10. The wind chime mechanism 3 includes a steel pipe 34 for emitting sound. The wind power drives the wind box 222 of the wind power component 22, causing the striking component 21 to strike the metal plate 216, thereby driving away birds and preventing them from landing on the insulator body 1. A limit component 20 is installed to drive the striking component 21 to rotate. An inspection component 23 is installed for workers to inspect and maintain the equipment, avoiding difficulties in maintenance when it is damaged.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 The wind chime mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31 fixedly installed on one side of the housing 11. An installation plate 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 31. Multiple connecting ropes 33 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate 32. Steel pipes 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ropes 33. The collision of the steel pipes 34 with each other can also disperse birds and prevent birds from landing on the insulator body 1, causing short circuits or other electrical faults due to excrement.

[0030] The implementation principle of a bird deterrent for power poles in this embodiment is as follows: Wind power moves the wind box 222, causing multiple fixed plates 221 to rotate on the surface of the rotating rod 202. This, in turn, causes the rotating rod 202 to rotate. During rotation, the sliding column 204 rotates within the circular groove 205, effectively limiting the rotation of the rod 202 and preventing it from detaching. Starting the rotation of the rod 202 causes the outer external gear 211 to rotate, and the linkage gear 212 to rotate, thereby driving the striking component 21 to disperse birds. To prevent birds from becoming conductors on the insulator body 1, the metal plate 216 is struck by the hammer 214 to disperse them and prevent them from landing on the insulator body 1. This prevents birds from conducting electricity and causing short circuits between adjacent conductors, which could lead to power failures. Alternatively, the door 232 can be separated from the enclosure 11 by manually pulling the handle 233, thus opening the enclosure 11 for easy maintenance. The collision of steel pipes 34 with each other can also disperse birds and prevent them from landing on the insulator body 1, thus preventing short circuits or other electrical failures caused by their excrement.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
