[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a bird deterrent device 10 for power transmission lines. The bird deterrent device 10 includes a support column 100, a disc 200, a bird deterrent component 300, a drive component 400, and a transmission rod 500. A base 110 is provided at one end of the support column 100. The base 110 can be three or more mounting strips extending along a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the support column 100. Bolt holes can be provided on the mounting strips, which facilitates the installation of the bird deterrent device 10 in different environments. At the same time, the setting of the base 110 ensures the stability of the bird deterrent device 10 after installation. The disc 200, bird deterrent component 300, and drive component 400 are also included. The components 400 are coaxially sleeved on the circumferential surface of the support column 100 along the height direction. The disc 200 is fixedly connected to the support column 100, and the connection method can be, for example, by snap-fit ​​or bolt connection. The bird deterrent component 300 and the drive component 400 are rotatably connected to the support column 100. One end of the transmission rod 500 is connected to the surface of the first rotating sleeve 310, and the other end is connected to the second rotating sleeve 410. The transmission rod 500 is configured to drive the bird deterrent component 300 to rotate synchronously when the drive component 400 rotates. That is, the bird deterrent component 300 and the drive component 400 can rotate around the central axis of the support column 100.

[0047] It should be noted that the drive component 400 can be driven by external wind power, and at the same time, it drives the bird deterrent component 300 through the transmission rod 500. The bird deterrent component 300 works with the disc 200 to emit sounds intermittently in windy conditions to effectively drive away birds. In addition, the spiral threads set in the bird deterrent component 300 can not only prevent birds from landing on the device, but also use the low-frequency sound generated by the collision between the spiral threads to further improve the bird deterrent effect. The entire device does not have any power storage or power consumption devices, can adapt to more environments, and has a longer service life and low maintenance costs.

[0048] The specific structure and working principle of the above-mentioned disc 200, bird deterrent component 300 and drive component 400 will be further described below with reference to several embodiments.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The disc 200 has a protrusion 210 on its top surface near the edge and a rattle cup 220 on its bottom surface near the edge. It should be understood that the rattle cup 220 is inverted, that is, the bottom end is embedded in the bottom surface of the disc 200. At the same time, the bottom end of the rattle cup 220 is exposed on the top surface of the disc 200. The protrusion 210 is used to guide the counterweight ball 322 to slide upward to accumulate gravitational potential energy. When the counterweight ball 322 slides to the top of the protrusion 210 and loses support, it falls and collides with the bottom end of the disc 200, thereby making a sound to effectively drive away birds.

[0050] Optionally, multiple protrusions 210 are spaced apart along the circumference on the top surface of the disc 200, and multiple rattles 220 are spaced apart along the circumference on the bottom surface of the disc 200. Each rattle 220 is located in the corresponding bottom surface area between two protrusions 210. That is, the protrusions 210 and rattles 220 are staggered on the upper and lower surfaces of the disc 200. In this way, when the counterweight ball 322 rotates, it can emit sounds continuously and intermittently, which can achieve a better effect of driving away birds.

[0051] Optionally, the shape of the protrusion 210 can be a triangular prism with a guiding slope. The cross-section of the triangular prism along the vertical height direction can be a right triangle, where the hypotenuse of the triangle is the guiding slope. Of course, the slope can also be replaced by a curved surface. In the case that the counterweight ball 322 can be guided to slide upward to accumulate gravitational potential energy, the specific choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 The bird deterrent assembly 300 includes a first rotating sleeve 310, a first bird deterrent structure 320, and a second bird deterrent structure 330. The first rotating sleeve 310 is sleeved on the support column 100 near the outer surface of the disk 200. Specifically, the first rotating sleeve 310 is allowed to rotate around the central axis of the support column 100, but its freedom in the height direction is restricted. The first bird deterrent structure 320 includes a first connecting rod 321 rotatably connected at one end to the surface of the first rotating sleeve 310, and a counterweight ball 322 is provided at the other end of the first connecting rod 321. The counterweight ball 322 at least partially abuts against the top surface of the disk 200. Two second bird deterrent structures 330 are spaced apart on the surface of the first rotating sleeve 310.

[0053] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4The first rotating sleeve 310 has a connecting ear on its surface. A U-shaped block 322 is provided at one end of the first connecting rod 321 and the connecting ear. The U-shaped block 322 and the connecting ear are movably connected by an optical axis. Preferably, an elastic element 3231 can be sleeved on the optical axis on both sides of the connecting ear. The elastic element 3231 can be one of the elastic components such as a spring or an elastic rubber ring. In this way, by setting the elastic element 3231, hard contact between the U-shaped block 322 and the side wall of the connecting ear can be effectively avoided during the rotation of the counterweight ball 322, thus preventing jamming.

[0054] Optionally, the counterweight ball 322 can be rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 321, so that the counterweight ball 322 can slide along the inclined surface of the protrusion 210 to the top. The counterweight ball 322 can be a metal ball with a certain mass. At the same time, the surface of the counterweight ball 322 can be plated with anti-rust material and polished, so as to facilitate use in various outdoor environments and reduce the friction when the counterweight ball 322 rolls or slides.

[0055] With this configuration, the counterweight ball 322 of the first bird deterrent structure 320 cooperates with the protrusion 210 and the rattle cup 220 on the disc 200. During the rotation of the first bird deterrent structure 320, the counterweight ball 322 slides obliquely upward from the disc 200 along the inclined surface of the protrusion 210. After losing support at the highest point of the protrusion 210, it falls and hits the rattle cup 220 to produce a sound, thereby effectively driving away the flock of birds.

[0056] Optionally, the second bird-repelling structure 330 may include a second connecting rod 331 fixedly connected at one end to the surface of the first rotating sleeve 310, and a spiral wire 332 disposed at the other end of the second connecting rod 331. The spiral wire 332 is made of metal wire. Multiple spiral wires 332 are connected at one end to the end of the second connecting rod 331 and extend outwards at the other end. It can be understood that multiple spiral wires 332 can form a fan shape or be configured in other shapes. Thus, through the configuration of the second bird-repelling structure 330, the spiral wires 332 of the second bird-repelling structure 330 can prevent birds from landing. At the same time, during the rotation of the bird-repelling assembly 300, the low-frequency sound generated by the collision between the spiral wires 332 further enhances the bird-repelling effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5The first rotating sleeve 310 may include a fixed seat 311, a bearing 312, and a cylinder 313 sequentially sleeved on the surface of the support column 100. The fixed seat 311 is fixedly connected to the support column 100 and is used to support the bearing 312 and the cylinder 313. For example, the fixed seat 311 can be fixed to the circumferential surface of the support column 100 by threads or pins. The bearing 312 and the cylinder 313 are sleeved on the fixed seat 311. The bottom surfaces of the bearing 312 and the cylinder 313 abut against the top surface of the fixed seat 311. The inner sidewall of the cylinder 313 is in contact with the outer side surface of the bearing 312. Thus, the setting of the fixed seat 311 enables the first rotating sleeve 310 to be limited in the height direction, and the setting of the bearing 312 reduces the friction during rotation. Of course, in order to protect the bearing 312, shims can be selectively added to the upper and lower sides of the bearing 312.

[0058] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The drive assembly 400 is sleeved on the outer surface of the support column 100 and is connected to the bird deterrent assembly 300 in a transmission manner. The drive assembly 400 includes a second rotating sleeve 410 sleeved on the surface of the support column 100. A plurality of third connecting rods 420 are spaced apart on the surface of the second rotating sleeve 410. Each third connecting rod 420 has a wind cup 420 at one end away from the second rotating sleeve 410. The wind cup 420 can increase the contact area with the outside wind, thereby increasing the rotation speed and rotation force of the drive assembly 400 when there is wind.

[0059] In some embodiments, three third links 420 are distributed at the same interval angle on the surface of the second rotating sleeve 410 at the same height. The end of each third link 420 is fixedly connected to a wind cup 420. The wind cup 420 has a recessed cavity with an opening on one side. A panel 431 is provided in the cavity. A reflector 432 is attached to the surface of the panel 431 near the opening. The reflector 432 can reflect external light, thereby further improving the bird-repelling effect.

[0060] Thus, through the transmission arrangement of the drive component 400 and the bird deterrent component 300, the drive component 400 is equipped with multiple wind cups 420. The wind force blows the wind cups 420 to rotate, thereby driving the bird deterrent component 300 to operate. The entire device has no power storage or power consumption components, can adapt to more environments and has low maintenance costs. At the same time, the reflector 432 set in the wind cup 420 and the bird deterrent component 300 are equipped with a first bird deterrent structure 320 and a second bird deterrent structure 330 to form a variety of different bird deterrent methods, thereby achieving a better bird deterrent effect.
