[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through detailed embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-3This embodiment provides a patrol and early warning device for a patrol vessel, including a fixed frame 1 and an early warning module 2. The bottom of the fixed frame 1 is fixed to the patrol vessel 5 via a base 4. The early warning module 2 is installed in the middle of the fixed frame 1. A bird deterrent device 3 is provided on the top of the fixed frame 1. The bird deterrent device 3 includes a rotating disk 31 and a rotating drive mechanism. The rotating drive mechanism is installed on the top of the fixed frame 1. The middle of the rotating disk 31 is connected to the rotating drive mechanism. The rotating disk 31 is provided with an audio-visual deterrent unit and multi-directional deflection components distributed around the periphery of the early warning module 2. The fixed frame supports and secures the early warning module and bird deterrent device. The early warning module is responsible for monitoring and issuing warnings for the surrounding sea area. The bird deterrent device is innovatively designed as a rotatable structure, surrounding the early warning module. By driving a rotating disk, it achieves rotation at different speeds, causing the multi-directional deterrent components to continuously change position and state, producing a dynamic bird deterrent effect at different positions and angles. The sound and light deterrence unit generates flashing lights and intermittent sounds. In this way, the multi-directional deterrent components, combined with sound and light, form a three-dimensional dynamic bird deterrent protective field, effectively driving away seabirds, preventing them from colliding with or lingering on the early warning module, ensuring the normal operation of the early warning module, and improving the reliability and efficiency of maritime surveillance.
[0025] In some specific embodiments, the rotary drive mechanism includes a waterproof motor 32 with a built-in frequency converter 321. The waterproof motor 32 is fixed to the bottom center of the rotating disk 31, and the output end of the frequency converter 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 1. A solar panel 37 and a waterproof box 38 are provided on the top of the rotating disk 31. A main control circuit board 39 is installed inside the waterproof box 38, and the waterproof motor 32 and the solar panel 37 are electrically connected to the main control circuit board 39. By using a waterproof motor with a built-in frequency converter, the rotation speed of the rotating disk can be adjusted according to the actual situation, achieving more flexible and energy-saving bird deterrence operation, further enhancing the dynamic changes of the bird deterrence device, and effectively preventing seabirds from adapting to and approaching the warning module.
[0026] As an example, the waterproof motor 32 can be an IP68 waterproof brushless DC motor, which has higher speed stability and reliability. The rotating disk 31 can be made of plastic and manufactured by injection molding, which reduces cost and weight; the diameter of the rotating disk 31 can be set to 0.8 to 1.2 m, and the rotation speed of the rotating disk 31 can be set to 10 to 30 rpm.
[0027] In some specific embodiments, the sound and light deterrence unit includes a strobe light assembly 33 and a sound-emitting element 34. The bottom of the strobe light assembly 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof box 38, and the sound-emitting element 34 is fixed above the strobe light assembly 33. The strobe light assembly 33 and the sound-emitting element 34 are electrically connected to the main control circuit board 39. In this way, flashing light and intermittent sound can be generated to scare away seabirds.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the sound-generating element 34 can be any one of an electronic buzzer, an ultrasonic generator, or a voice player.
[0029] As an example, the strobe light group 33 is composed of a red and blue dual-color LED array (consisting of 12 groups of COB packaged LEDs, each group containing 4 red and 4 blue chips, which are alternately flashed through PWM dimming), with an adjustable flashing frequency range of 0.5 to 5 Hz and a light intensity of not less than 2000 lumens. In some embodiments, when the sound-generating element 34 is an electronic buzzer, it has the advantage of smaller size; when the sound-generating element 34 is an ultrasonic generator, it can emit ultrasonic waves of a specific frequency, producing a stronger deterrent effect on seabirds. Specifically, the ultrasonic frequency range of the ultrasonic generator can be set to 18 to 25 kHz, and the output power can be set to 50 W; when the sound-generating element 34 is a voice player, it can play audio files simulating the calls of birds of prey, producing a stronger startling effect on seabirds.
[0030] In some specific embodiments, the multi-directional deterrent assembly comprises multiple circumferentially distributed flexible whips 35 and multiple reflective elements 36. The upper end of each flexible whip 35 is connected to the outer periphery of the rotating disk 31, and a counterweight 351 is provided at the lower end of each flexible whip 35. The lower part of each reflective element 36 is connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 31. Thus, the rotating disk has flexible whips and reflective elements. When the rotating disk rotates continuously, it can drive the flexible whips to swing and simultaneously drive the reflective elements to change positions, thereby forming a bird deterrent effect that combines dynamic "visual deterrent" and "physical deterrent".
[0031] Specifically, as an example, the flexible whip 35 can be made of titanium alloy, and the counterweight 351 can be made of tungsten steel; the number of flexible whips 35 can be 8 to 12, and the length of each flexible whip 35 can be 60 to 80 cm.
[0032] As an improved implementation, the reflector 36 has a prism-type polyhedral structure, which can reflect sunlight to generate strong light stimulation and has a good reflective bird-repelling effect. Furthermore, the surface of the reflector 35 is also coated with an ultraviolet reflective coating.
[0033] Specifically, as an example, the reflectors are diamond-cut and coated with an Al2O3-TiO2 composite coating, which provides good ultraviolet reflection. The reflectors are arranged in a circular array at intervals of 15-20 cm.
[0034] In some embodiments, the bottom of the reflector 36 is detachably connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 31. This allows for the replacement of reflectors with different colors or reflective properties according to different environments and needs.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, as an example, the bottom of the reflector 36 can be connected to the rotating disk 31 by a snap-fit connection. More specifically, the bottom of the reflector 36 is connected to a rod 361, the rod wall of which is provided with an annular rib 362. The upper surface of the rotating disk 31 is provided with a socket 311 for inserting the rod 361 into the socket, and the wall of the socket 311 is provided with an annular groove 312 that engages with the annular rib 362. Through the engagement of the rod and the socket, the reflector can be easily and quickly assembled or disassembled by snap-fit connection, while the positioning effect of the annular rib and the annular groove further secures the connection to prevent loosening. Alternatively, magnetic connection, screw fixing, or other methods can be used to connect the reflector to the rotating disk as needed.
[0036] In some specific embodiments, the fixing frame 1 can be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is relatively strong and has good corrosion resistance and lightweight properties.
[0037] It should be noted that the early warning module 2 mentioned in this application is based on the existing early warning device structure of existing surveillance vessels, integrating various advanced monitoring equipment and sensors such as radar detectors, infrared cameras, and weather sensors, and possessing powerful monitoring capabilities. As an example, the radar detector can be a phased array radar, and the infrared camera can be a thermal imaging camera.

Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
