Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power line protection technology, and in particular to a special bird-proof spike for power lines. Background Technology
[0002] Power lines, especially high-voltage transmission lines, are frequently susceptible to short circuits and power outages due to birds perching and nesting, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. To prevent such risks, bird spikes are often installed at critical locations such as power line towers and crossarms. Bird spikes form a physical barrier through their dense, sharp spike structure, interfering with birds' landing and perching, and are a widely used passive bird deterrent method in the protection of current power facilities.
[0003] However, most existing bird deterrent devices are fixed structures; once installed, the position and shape of the spikes remain static. This static characteristic has significant limitations: First, birds are highly adaptable, and prolonged exposure to static obstacles of the same shape can lead to "habituation," gradually reducing their vigilance towards the spikes. They may even learn to perch or nest in the gaps between the spikes, causing the bird-repelling effect to significantly diminish over time. Second, static bird deterrents lack active, dynamic visual or physical stimulation, resulting in a relatively singular and limited effect on startling and repelling birds, especially for highly adaptable birds or persistent nesting problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a bird-repelling device that can continuously provide dynamic bird-repelling stimulation, effectively overcome bird adaptability, and improve long-term protection.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a special bird spike for power lines, including a base, a movable seat slidably connected to the base, a fixed plate fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat on the base, a guide rod fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat and passing through the fixed plate, a spring sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the movable seat and the fixed plate, a motor fixedly installed on one side of the movable seat on the base, a cam at the output end of the motor that contacts the movable seat, and a bird spike body slidably connected to the top of the movable seat.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the base, and mounting holes are provided at both ends of the two mounting plates.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a first T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable seat, and a first T-shaped groove is provided on the base for the first T-shaped slider to slide.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the base is provided with a motor slot for installing a power supply motor.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a second T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bird spike body, and a second T-shaped groove is provided on the top of the movable seat for the second T-shaped slider to slide.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second T-shaped slider and the second T-shaped groove of the movable seat are in close frictional contact and have obvious damping.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a motor to drive the cam to rotate, and with the spring reset action, the movable seat and the bird spike body installed on it can achieve stable and controllable reciprocating linear motion along the guide rod direction. This continuous dynamic action significantly enhances the visual deterrent power and physical interference intensity of the bird spike, effectively breaking the birds' adaptability to static obstacles, thereby greatly improving the long-term effectiveness and reliability of the bird deterrent effect.

[0016] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to their structure and are relative concepts. Therefore, they may vary depending on their location and usage; thus, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0017] The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0018] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0019] This utility model provides the following: Figure 1-3 The bird spikes for power lines shown include a base 1, a movable seat 2 slidably connected to the base 1, a fixed plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat 2 on the base 1, a guide rod 4 fixedly connected to one side of the movable seat 2 and passing through the fixed plate 3, a spring 5 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 4 between the movable seat 2 and the fixed plate 3, a motor 6 fixedly installed on one side of the movable seat 2 on the base 1, a cam 7 at the output end of the motor 6 that contacts the movable seat 2, and a bird spike body 8 slidably connected to the top of the movable seat 2.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, mounting plates 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1, and mounting holes 10 are provided at both ends of the two mounting plates 9. The base 1 can be securely installed in key locations requiring protection, such as power line poles and crossarms, through the mounting holes 10 using bolts and other connecting parts.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the movable seat 2 is fixedly connected to a first T-shaped slider 11, and the base 1 is provided with a first T-shaped groove 12 for the first T-shaped slider 11 to slide, so that the movable seat 2 can slide smoothly on the base 1, and can also prevent the movable seat 2 from shaking or falling off the base 1 during the sliding process, thus ensuring the stability of the structure.
[0022] In this utility model, the base 1 is provided with a motor slot for mounting the power supply motor 6.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the bird spike body 8 is fixedly connected to a second T-shaped slider 13, and the top of the movable seat 2 is provided with a second T-shaped groove 14 for the second T-shaped slider 13 to slide. The second T-shaped slider 13 and the second T-shaped groove 14 of the movable seat 2 are in close frictional contact and have obvious damping, so that the installation and sliding of the bird spike body 8 on the movable seat 2 have a certain resistance, preventing the bird spike body 8 from slipping off during reciprocating movement.
[0024] Working Principle: In practical implementation, the power supply to motor 6 is first turned on, and motor 6 starts working, its output end driving cam 7 to rotate. As cam 7 rotates, cam 7 continuously contacts movable seat 2 and pushes movable seat 2 to slide along guide rod 4 towards fixed plate 3. At this time, spring 5 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When cam 7 continues to rotate and no longer applies a pushing force to movable seat 2, spring 5 releases elastic potential energy, pushing movable seat 2 to slide along guide rod 4 away from fixed plate 3. This cycle continues, and movable seat 2 and the bird spike body 8 installed on it will achieve stable and controllable reciprocating linear motion along guide rod 4. Because the bird spike body 8 and movable seat 2 are in close frictional contact through the second T-shaped slider 13 and the second T-shaped groove 14 with obvious damping, the bird spike body 8 will not easily slip off when it reciprocates with movable seat 2. This continuous dynamic movement greatly enhances the visual deterrent effect and physical interference intensity of the bird spikes. Birds find it difficult to adapt to this dynamic change, effectively breaking their adaptation to static obstacles, thus significantly improving the long-term effectiveness and reliability of the bird deterrent effect. At the same time, the base 1 is securely installed in key locations such as power line poles and crossarms via the mounting plate 9 and mounting holes 10, ensuring that the entire bird spike device can work stably in outdoor environments.
[0025] 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 the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
