Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird deterrence devices, specifically to a bird deterrence device for utility poles. Background Technology

[0002] Utility poles, also known as utility poles, are essential structures in power systems used to support and secure power lines, cables, and other electrical equipment. They are typically made of materials such as concrete, wood, or steel, and vary in height depending on the specific application and design requirements. The main function of utility poles is to elevate power lines to a safe height, preventing them from contacting the ground or pedestrians, while ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission. Utility poles are widely distributed in cities, villages, fields, and forests, forming an indispensable part of the power infrastructure.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN202850574U discloses a utility pole, comprising a vertically arranged main pole, a horizontally arranged crossarm on the main pole, an insulator, and a supporting insulator; wherein the insulator is vertically arranged on the crossarm, and the supporting insulator is not vertically arranged on the crossarm. The supporting insulator includes an insulator and a support frame, with the insulator installed at one end of the support frame and the other end of the support frame installed on the crossarm; the angle between one end and the other end of the support frame is a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0004] However, due to the high stability of the aforementioned utility poles, they often become roosting, nesting, and perching sites for birds. When birds nest on utility poles, they may use conductive materials such as twigs and wires as nesting material. If this nesting material comes into contact with the power lines, it could cause a short circuit, leading to a power outage. Furthermore, birds moving on utility poles may cause the lines to sway or break. This not only damages electrical equipment but may also pose a safety threat to nearby people. Bird activity on utility poles, especially in densely populated urban areas, requires serious attention. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of birds often perching, nesting, and loitering on utility poles, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bird deterrent device for utility poles, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes a rotating shaft, a rotating rod, and a rotating plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the crossbeam. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the crossbeam and is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the rotating plate is disposed on both ends of the rotating rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a reflective layer is provided on one side of the rotating plate.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, a bird-repelling device for utility poles according to one embodiment of this utility model includes a utility pole body, a bird-repelling mechanism, and a bird-repelling structure. The bird-repelling mechanism is located at the top of the utility pole body and is fixedly connected to the utility pole body; the bird-repelling structure is fixedly connected to the utility pole body. The bird-repelling mechanism includes a support frame, a drive structure, and a rotating structure. The support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the utility pole body, the drive structure is fixedly connected to the support frame, the rotating structure is rotatably connected to the support frame, and the drive structure is fixedly connected to the rotating structure. By setting the bird-repelling mechanism at the top of the utility pole body, the height advantage is utilized to provide comprehensive bird protection for the power system. The bird-repelling mechanism includes a support frame, a drive structure, and a rotating structure. Through the cooperation of the drive structure and the rotating structure, the bird-repelling mechanism can produce a dynamic repelling effect, effectively repelling birds. The bird-repelling mechanism adopts a mechanical drive method, which is less affected by environmental factors such as weather changes and electromagnetic interference compared to electronic bird-repelling devices, thus having higher reliability and stability. By setting the bird-repelling structure, a physical barrier is provided for birds, making it difficult for them to find safe roosting and nesting sites on utility poles. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the bird deterrent mechanism can be adjusted according to the bird species and habitat habits of different regions. For example, the rotation speed can be adjusted, the shape or color can be changed, etc., to better adapt to local environmental conditions.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the support frame includes a base, an upright frame, and a cross frame. The base is fixedly connected to the utility pole body, the upright frame is fixedly connected to the end of the base away from the utility pole body, the cross frame is fixedly connected to the end of the upright frame away from the base, the drive structure is disposed on the cross frame and fixedly connected to the cross frame, and the rotating structure is rotatably connected to the cross frame. The base ensures that the entire bird-repelling mechanism can be firmly installed at the top of the utility pole body, and the cross frame ensures stable support for the drive structure and the rotating structure, and provides sufficient space for the rotating structure to move freely. In this embodiment, the shape and size of the base are adjusted according to the diameter and shape of the utility pole body to ensure a close fit and stable connection with the utility pole body, and the length and width of the cross frame are adjusted according to the dimensions of the drive structure and the rotating structure.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the drive structure includes a drive motor, a drive belt, and a pulley. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the support frame. One end of the drive belt is sleeved on the output end of the drive motor, and the end of the drive belt away from the drive motor is sleeved on the pulley. The pulley is fixedly connected to the rotating structure. During operation, the drive motor starts and rotates, transmitting rotational power to the pulley via the drive belt, which then drives the rotating structure to rotate.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the rotating structure includes a rotating shaft, a rotating rod, and a rotating plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the crossbeam, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the crossbeam and is fixedly connected to the rotating wheel, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The rotating plate is disposed at both ends of the rotating rod. During operation, when the drive structure is activated and drives the rotating wheel to rotate, the rotating shaft rotates accordingly, thereby driving the rotating rod and the rotating plate to rotate. In this embodiment, steel balls are injected into the rotating plate. When the rotating plate rotates, the rotation of the rotating plate will produce dynamic visual effects and sounds, thereby effectively scaring away birds.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the rotating shaft and the rotating rod are fixedly connected at the center to ensure that the two maintain a constant relative position during rotation, and to ensure that the rotational power transmitted by the drive structure can be efficiently transmitted to the rotating plate, reducing energy loss.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a reflective layer is provided on one side of the rotating plate, which can reflect light from the surrounding environment, especially sunlight and artificial light sources (such as streetlights, searchlights, etc.). When the rotating plate rotates, the reflective layer produces a flashing visual effect. This dynamic change of light and shadow is a strong visual stimulus for birds, making them feel uneasy and keeping them away from the utility pole. In this embodiment, the reflective layer is made of a highly reflective material, such as reflective film, reflective paint, or reflective sheet, which can maintain its reflective effect during long-term use. The reflective layers of the two rotating plates are arranged symmetrically about the axis of rotation.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the utility pole body includes a main pole, a crossarm, and an insulator. The crossarm is fixedly connected to the main pole, the insulator is set on the crossarm and fixedly connected to the crossarm, the bird-repelling mechanism is set at the top of the main pole, and the bird-repelling structure is set on the crossarm. The main pole is the main supporting structure of the utility pole body, bearing the power line, crossarm, insulator, and possible external loads such as wind load and snow load; the crossarm is the component connecting the main pole and the insulator, providing the space and support required for installing the insulator and the power line; the insulator is used to electrically isolate the power line from the crossarm, preventing current leakage or short circuit through non-conductive parts.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the bird-repelling structure includes a connecting plate and spikes. Several spikes are provided and fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate near the bird-repelling mechanism. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the crossarm, serving as a support structure for the spikes and firmly fixing them to the crossarm, ensuring the stability and long-term durability of the spikes. The spikes are a key component of the bird-repelling structure, preventing birds from approaching and perching on the utility pole through physical barriers. The sharp edges and dense arrangement of the spikes effectively prevent birds from nesting and alighting. In this embodiment, the spikes are made of thermosetting plastic, which is durable and easy to maintain, effectively preventing birds from nesting and significantly reducing safety hazards such as short circuits and fires caused by birds.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the connecting plates are semi-circular and there are two of them. The two connecting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the crossarm, forming a complete circle together, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the protection, and providing all-round bird protection for the utility pole. This not only prevents birds from nesting on the crossarm, but also reduces the possibility of birds moving around the utility pole, thereby reducing the risk of power accidents caused by birds. In this embodiment, the number and distribution of spikes can be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the utility pole and the expected bird-repelling effect.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a loudspeaker is installed on the utility pole, which can play specific sounds or audio signals to scare away birds.

[0037] The bird deterrent device for utility poles in this embodiment has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. This structure can also be used for other devices with similar requirements. In this embodiment, the combination of bird deterrent mechanism and bird deterrent structure significantly improves the safety of the power system. By combining physical barriers and dynamic deterrence, it effectively reduces bird roosting and nesting behavior on and around utility poles, thereby reducing the risk of power accidents caused by bird activity.
