Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of circuit safety, and more specifically, to a bird deterrent device for power transmission lines. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of power transmission, the safe operation of transmission lines is often threatened by bird activity. Birds nesting and loitering can easily cause short circuits, tripping and other faults. Traditional bird deterrent devices, due to their inherent defects of simple structure and small range of action, are difficult to meet the bird prevention needs of modern power grids and have become a technical bottleneck in power maintenance.

[0003] Existing bird deterrent devices mostly employ a single technological approach. For example, ultrasonic bird deterrents use high-frequency sound waves to repel birds, but birds easily adapt after prolonged use, significantly reducing their effectiveness. Reflective bird deterrents rely on sunlight reflection to stimulate birds, becoming ineffective on cloudy days or at night. Physical barrier devices, such as bird spikes, only provide localized protection at the installation location and suffer from problems such as cumbersome installation and susceptibility to entanglement with debris. Due to their simplistic structural design, these devices cannot combine multiple bird deterrent principles to create a synergistic effect, often resulting in blind spots when facing different bird habits and complex environments.

[0004] The limited effective range of traditional devices is particularly pronounced in long-distance transmission lines. The effective radius of traditional devices is typically less than 10 meters, while the spacing between transmission line towers is often over 50 meters, creating protective gaps between adjacent devices. Birds easily nest and roost in these gaps. For example, in mountainous or wetland areas with high bird activity, the limited coverage of a single device necessitates frequent inspections and reinstallation by line maintenance personnel, increasing labor costs and potentially leading to safety accidents due to delayed protection. Furthermore, traditional devices cannot dynamically adjust their effective range according to bird activity patterns. During migratory bird seasons or breeding seasons, fixed-range protection is insufficient to address sudden bird threats.

[0005] As power grids move towards intelligent and unmanned operation and maintenance, traditional bird-repelling devices with simple structures and limited ranges of action can no longer meet the protection needs of large-scale transmission lines. Developing new devices with combined bird-repelling functions and dynamically adjustable ranges of action is of great significance for improving the reliability of power grid operation and reducing maintenance costs, and is also an urgent need to promote the intelligent upgrading of power inspection technology. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a bird deterrent device for power transmission lines, which solves the technical problem that existing devices, due to their simple structural design, cannot combine multiple bird deterrent principles to form a synergistic effect, and often have blind spots in bird deterrence when facing different bird habits and complex environments.

[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a bird deterrent device for power transmission lines, comprising:

[0008] The main frame and the outer casing, wherein the main frame is disposed on top of the outer casing;

[0009] A rotation control assembly is disposed between the main frame and the outer casing;

[0010] A reflective assembly, wherein the reflective assembly is disposed on the main frame;

[0011] The column and the acoustic wave assembly are provided, wherein the column is fixed to the upper end of the main frame and the acoustic wave assembly is disposed on the upper end of the column;

[0012] The reflective assembly includes several connecting rods, all of which are rotatably connected to the main frame via pins. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting rod, and several bird-repelling mirrors are provided on the upper end of the rotating shaft.

[0013] As a further technical solution, a base frame is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod, and a stud is connected to the base frame by a threaded screw. An anti-slip block is provided at the upper end of the stud, and the anti-slip block is supported on the bottom surface of the connecting rod.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the acoustic component includes a pair of ultrasonic speakers, both of which are mounted on the column. A shield is provided at the upper end of the column, and a plurality of reflectors are provided on the top of the shield.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the rotation control component includes a drive motor, which is disposed at the top of the housing. A connecting seat is provided at the top of the housing, and a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the connecting seat.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the output end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating sleeve, the rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main frame, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the outer shell, with heat dissipation mesh holes provided in the groove.

[0017] As a further technical solution, a fixing component is also included. The fixing component is disposed at the bottom of the housing. The fixing component includes several fixing rods. A circular plate is disposed at the lower end of the fixing rod. A sleeve is connected to the circular plate. A pair of fixing bolts are screwed to the bottom of the sleeve.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the shield is in the shape of an umbrella, and the reflectors are evenly distributed around the top of the shield.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the connecting rod can be rotated 180° at the rotatable connection with the main frame.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0021] 1. In this disclosure, the reflective component adjusts the angle of the bird-repelling mirror through the connecting rod and the rotating shaft, which can expand the strong light reflection range. The dynamic light spot uses birds' avoidance of strong light to repel birds. The stud locking structure ensures the stability of the angle, which solves the problems of small effective range and fixed angle of traditional reflective devices, and enhances the effectiveness and flexibility of bird repelling.

[0022] 2. In this disclosure, the ultrasonic speaker of the sound wave component emits high-frequency sound waves, which drive away birds by using their discomfort response. The umbrella-shaped shield protects the speaker from rainwater corrosion, and the top reflector enhances the diffusion of sound waves, thus combining sound wave bird repellency with equipment protection. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional sound wave devices, which are simple and easily damaged, and improves the continuous bird repellency capability.

[0023] 3. In this disclosure, the rotation control component drives the main frame to rotate through the drive motor, so that the reflector light spot and the sound wave coverage area change dynamically, preventing birds from developing adaptation. The heat dissipation mesh ensures stable operation of the motor, which solves the defect of the fixed range of action of traditional devices, expands the bird deterrence coverage area, and improves bird deterrence efficiency.

[0024] 4. In this disclosure, the fixing rod of the fixing component cooperates with the sleeve frame, and the device is firmly installed on the tower by fixing bolts. The length can be adjusted to adapt to different scenarios, ensuring the stability of the device at high altitudes and providing support for other components to function. This solves the problem of cumbersome and unstable installation of traditional devices, and enhances the practicality and safety of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0031] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0032] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it illustrates a bird deterrent device for power transmission lines according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:

[0037] The main frame 1 and the outer shell 2 are provided, with the main frame 1 disposed on top of the outer shell 2.

[0038] A rotation control assembly 6 is disposed between the main frame and the outer shell 2;

[0039] Reflective component 4, which is disposed on the main frame 1;

[0040] The column 3 and the acoustic component 5 are provided. The column 3 is fixed to the upper end of the main frame 1, and the acoustic component 5 is disposed on the upper end of the column 3.

[0041] The reflective assembly 4 includes several connecting rods 4-1, each of which is rotatably connected to the main frame 1 via a pin. A rotating shaft 4-2 is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting rod 4-1. Several bird-repelling mirrors 4-3 are provided on the upper end of the rotating shaft 4-2. A base frame 4-4 is provided at the bottom of each connecting rod 4-1. A stud 4-5 is screwed into the base frame 4-4. An anti-slip block 4-6 is provided on the upper end of the stud 4-5. The anti-slip block 4-6 is supported on the bottom surface of the connecting rod 4-1.

[0042] In some examples, to expand the reflection range of the bird deterrent device, a reflective component 4 is designed. This component rotatably connects several connecting rods 4-1 to the main frame 1 via pins. The rotating shaft 4-2 at one end of the connecting rod 4-1 can drive the bird deterrent mirror 4-3 to rotate 360°, and the reflection angle can be continuously changed. The studs 4-5 in the bottom frame 4-4 are connected by screw threads, and the upper anti-slip block 4-6 is supported on the bottom surface of the connecting rod 4-1. Tightening the studs 4-5 can lock the angle of the connecting rod 4-1 and prevent it from shaking due to wind or other factors. When sunlight shines, the bird deterrent mirror 4-3 can reflect strong light to form a dynamic light spot, which uses the birds' avoidance of strong light to drive away the birds. By adjusting the angle between the connecting rod 4-1 and the rotating shaft 4-2, a larger area of ​​the power transmission line can be covered, enhancing the bird deterrent effect.

[0043] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the acoustic component 5 in this embodiment includes a pair of ultrasonic speakers 5-1, both of which are mounted on the column 3. A shield 5-2 is provided at the upper end of the column 3, and a plurality of reflectors 5-3 are provided on the top of the shield 5-2.

[0044] In some examples, to achieve both bird deterrence and equipment protection using sound waves, a sound wave assembly 5 is designed. A pair of ultrasonic speakers 5-1 mounted on the upper end of the column 3 emit high-frequency sound waves, using birds' aversion to specific sound waves to repel them. The shield 5-2 at the upper end of the column 3 has an inclined structure, and the top reflector 5-3 not only enhances the reflection and diffusion of sound waves but also protects against rainwater, preventing damage to the speakers from rainwater erosion. The curved design of the shield 5-2 guides rainwater to flow down the edges, and together with the internal waterproof structure, ensures that the sound wave assembly 5 continues to work stably in harsh weather conditions, achieving the dual functions of bird deterrence and equipment protection.

[0045] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the rotation control component 6 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 6-1, which is disposed at the top of the housing 2. A connecting seat 6-2 is provided at the top of the housing 2, and a rotating sleeve 6-3 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 6-2. The output end of the drive motor 6-1 is connected to the rotating sleeve 6-3. The rotating sleeve 6-3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main frame 1. A groove 6-4 is provided at the bottom of the housing 2, and a heat dissipation mesh 6-5 is provided in the groove 6-4.

[0046] In some examples, to enable the bird deterrent device to cover a wider area, a rotation control component 6 is designed. The drive motor 6-1 at the top inside the housing 2 is connected to the rotating sleeve 6-3 via an output shaft. The rotating sleeve 6-3 is fixed to the bottom of the main frame 1. When the drive motor 6-1 rotates, it drives the main frame 1, the reflector component 4, and the acoustic component 5 to rotate synchronously. The rotating sleeve design of the connecting seat 6-2 at the top of the housing 2 and the rotating sleeve 6-3 ensures that the rotation process is smooth and without jamming. The heat dissipation mesh 6-5 in the bottom groove 6-4 can dissipate the heat generated by the motor operation and prevent the equipment from overheating.

[0047] Through the timed or real-time control of the drive motor 6-1, the main frame 1 can rotate periodically, causing the light spot of the reflector 5-3 and the sound wave coverage area to change dynamically, preventing birds from developing adaptation and improving bird deterrence efficiency.

[0048] like Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment also includes a fixing component 7, which is disposed at the bottom of the outer shell 2. The fixing component 7 includes a plurality of fixing rods 7-1, and a circular plate 7-2 is disposed at the lower end of the fixing rods 7-1. A sleeve 7-3 is connected to the circular plate 7-2, and a pair of fixing bolts 7-4 are screwed to the bottom of the sleeve 7-3.

[0049] In some examples, a fixing component 7 is designed to ensure the bird deterrent device is securely installed. Several fixing rods 7-1 at the bottom of the housing 2 have circular plates 7-2 connected to their lower ends by a sleeve 7-3. A pair of fixing bolts 7-4 at the bottom of the sleeve 7-3 can be screwed into structures such as power line towers or crossarms. During installation, the circular plates 7-2 are placed against the mounting surface, and the sleeve 7-3 is pressed against the circular plates 7-2 by tightening the fixing bolts 7-4. Friction and bolt tension are used to firmly fix the device. The adjustable length design of the fixing rods 7-1 can adapt to the angle requirements of different installation scenarios, ensuring that the device does not shift in high-altitude, strong wind environments, providing structural support for the stable implementation of the bird deterrent function.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shield 5-2 has an overall umbrella-shaped structure, and the reflectors 5-3 are evenly distributed around the top of the shield 5-2.

[0051] In some examples, the umbrella-shaped structure can increase the shielding area and protect the ultrasonic speaker 5-1 below, thus improving the shielding effect.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting rod 4-1 can be rotated 180° at its rotatable connection with the main frame 1.

[0053] In some examples, the range of reflected light can be effectively adjusted by rotating the angle by 180°.

[0054] In practical use: the circular plate 7-2 is attached to the tower by the fixing rod 7-1 of the fixing component 7, and the bottom fixing bolt 7-4 of the sleeve 7-3 is tightened to install the device. The drive motor 6-1 of the rotation control component 6 drives the rotating sleeve 6-3 to rotate the main frame 1. The connecting rod 4-1 of the reflector component 4 adjusts the angle by rotating the pin shaft. The stud 4-5 tightens the anti-slip block 4-6 to fix the connecting rod 4-1. The rotating shaft 4-2 drives the bird-repelling mirror 4-3 to rotate and reflect strong light. The ultrasonic speaker 5-1 of the sound wave component 5 emits high-frequency sound waves. The top reflector 5-3 of the shield 5-2 enhances the effect and blocks rainwater. The rotating main frame 1 makes the reflector 5-3 and the sound wave coverage area change dynamically to achieve compound bird repellency.
