Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent multimodal bird deterrent device for outdoor cranes. Background Technology
[0002] In the operating environment of outdoor cranes, bird habitats pose numerous safety hazards. Bird droppings are highly corrosive; if they adhere to the crane's metal structure over a long period, they will accelerate the corrosion process and reduce structural strength. Furthermore, debris used by birds when building nests can easily clog the crane's mechanical parts, interfering with normal operation.
[0003] Traditional bird deterrence methods, such as reflective strips, can only deter birds by reflecting light within a limited range and are ineffective under complex lighting conditions. Acoustic devices are greatly affected by environmental noise and have high energy consumption. Existing audio-visual bird deterrence devices, such as the "bird deterrence device" disclosed in CN217695061U, use ultrasonic bird deterrents. However, due to their fixed structure, these devices cannot adapt to the dynamic changes during crane operations and cannot sense weather and bird activity based on actual conditions, thus failing to achieve intelligent and efficient bird deterrence. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an intelligent multimodal bird deterrent device for outdoor cranes, aiming to solve the problem that existing bird deterrent devices cannot adapt to the dynamic changes in the crane operation scenario and cannot sense the weather and birds according to the actual situation, so as to achieve intelligent and efficient bird deterrence.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A smart multimodal bird deterrent device for outdoor cranes includes a sensing module, a bird deterrent module, a solar power supply module, a weather sensing module, and a main controller. Several of the sensing modules are arranged at equal intervals along the gantry crane frame, and the sensing modules are magnetically fixed to the frame. The sensing range of all sensing modules covers the entire gantry crane.
[0007] The top of the gantry crane is equipped with several bird-repelling modules arranged in an array for sound and light bird repellency, and the bird-repelling range of all bird-repelling modules covers the entire gantry crane.
[0008] The top of the gantry crane is also equipped with a solar power supply module, a weather sensing module, and a main controller. The sensing module, bird deterrence module, weather sensing module, and solar power supply module are all electrically connected to the main controller.
[0009] Preferably, the bird-repelling module is linked and coordinated with the sensing module and the weather sensing module through the main controller.
[0010] More preferably, each of the sensing modules includes a magnetic mounting base, which is magnetically attached to the gantry crane frame via a strong magnet. The magnetic mounting base is equipped with a radar sensor and an infrared sensor.
[0011] Furthermore, both the radar sensor and the infrared sensor are electrically connected to the main controller.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the bird-repelling modules includes a drivable rotating base, an ultrasonic device on the rotating base, a gimbal on the top of the ultrasonic device, and a laser emitting device on the gimbal.
[0013] Specifically, the weather sensing module includes at least a light intensity sensor, a rain sensor, and a wind speed sensor.
[0014] More specifically, the solar power supply module includes a solar panel, and a solar charging controller and a battery are installed on the top of the gantry crane below the solar panel, with the main controller located below the solar panel.
[0015] Specifically, the outer frame of the solar panel is coated with a reflective coating.
[0016] More specifically, wind deflectors are fixed on the gantry crane frame located on both sides of the sensing module.
[0017] Preferably, the wind deflector is coated with a reflective coating.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. The overall design of the device is well-suited to the style of gantry cranes. The modular design allows for quick installation on the crane without affecting its normal operation.
[0020] 2. The device forms a sensor network through several sensing modules, accurately senses the location of birds, and activates the corresponding bird-repelling module according to the sensing point to disperse them, thus accurately repelling birds, improving dispersal efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.
[0021] 3. The weather sensor module senses the weather conditions and adjusts the bird deterrence module mode accordingly to adapt to the weather and ensure bird deterrence efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The embodiments will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the preferred embodiment 1, an intelligent multimodal bird deterrent device for an outdoor crane includes a sensing module 2, a bird deterrent module 3, a solar power supply module 4, a weather sensing module 5, and a main controller 6. Several of the sensing modules 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the frame of the gantry crane 1, and the sensing modules 2 are magnetically fixed to the frame. The sensing range of all the sensing modules 2 covers the entire gantry crane 1, ensuring the sensing range.
[0033] The top of the gantry crane 1 is provided with several bird-repelling modules 3 arranged in an array for sound and light bird repelling. The bird-repelling range of all bird-repelling modules 3 covers the entire gantry crane 1 to ensure the bird-repelling range. The sensing module 2 corresponds to the bird-repelling module 3 within its range.
[0034] The top of the gantry crane 1 is also equipped with a solar power supply module 4, a weather sensing module 5, and a main controller 6. The sensing module 2, the bird deterrent module 3, the weather sensing module 5, and the solar power supply module 4 are all electrically connected to the main controller 6.
[0035] The bird-repelling module 3 works in conjunction with the sensing module 2 and the weather sensing module 5 through the main controller 6.
[0036] Each of the sensing modules 2 includes a magnetic mounting base 201. The magnetic mounting base 201 is magnetically attached to the frame of the gantry crane 1 by a strong magnet, which facilitates installation and disassembly. The magnetic mounting base 201 is equipped with a radar sensor 202 and an infrared sensor 203.
[0037] Radar sensor 202 and infrared sensor 203 are installed at the end of the crane boom (beam) to monitor bird activity within a radius of 20 meters in real time.
[0038] Both the radar sensor 202 and the infrared sensor 203 are electrically connected to the main controller 6.
[0039] Each bird deterrent module 3 includes a drivable rotating base 301, an ultrasonic device 302 is provided on the rotating base 301, a gimbal 303 is provided on the top of the ultrasonic device 302, and a laser emitting device 304 is provided on the gimbal 303.
[0040] In Example 1, the radar sensor 202 and infrared sensor 203 in the sensing module 2 sense bird activity. When birds are detected approaching, the main controller 6 activates the corresponding bird deterrent module 3 within the range. The rotating base 301 drives the ultrasonic device 302 to rotate, performing 360° ultrasonic deterrence. At the same time, the gimbal 303 and laser emitter 304 are activated to perform laser deterrence until the bird approach signal disappears.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment 2, the weather sensing module 5 includes at least a light intensity sensor, a rain sensor, and a wind speed sensor. It is used to determine the weather and whether it is day or night.
[0042] Normal daytime mode: Ultrasonic power 15W, laser intensity 50mW / mm²;
[0043] When the rain sensor detects rain, the rain mode is activated: the ultrasonic power is increased to 30W (default 15W), and the frequency is locked at 25-35kHz.
[0044] When the light sensor detects nighttime, night mode is activated: the laser intensity is reduced to 20mW / mm² (default 50mW / mm²), and the flashing frequency is adjusted to 0.5Hz.
[0045] Adjust the bird-repelling mode appropriately according to the weather to ensure the bird-repelling effect and achieve efficient bird control.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment 3, the solar power supply module 4 includes a solar power panel 401, and a solar charging controller 402 and a battery 403 are provided on the top of the gantry crane 1 below the solar power panel 401. The main controller 6 is located below the solar power panel 401.
[0047] On sunny days, the device is powered by an external power supply device, which converts light energy into electrical energy through the solar power panel 401, and stores it in the battery 403 through the solar charging controller 402.
[0048] At night and on rainy days, the device is powered by the power stored in the storage battery 403, achieving energy saving and ensuring continuous operation for ≥15 days in rainy weather.
[0049] The outer frame of the solar panel 401 is coated with a reflective coating. This improves bird deterrence efficiency on sunny days and prevents birds from nesting on the solar panel 401.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment 4, wind deflectors 7 are fixed on the frame of the gantry crane 1 located on both sides of the sensing module 2. This prevents the sensing module 2 from being blown off by wind and improves the installation stability of the sensing module 2.
[0051] The wind deflector 7 is coated with a reflective coating. This improves bird deterrence efficiency on sunny days and keeps birds away.
[0052] The working principle of this utility model:
[0053] This utility model utilizes modular installation for easy installation. The radar sensor 202 and infrared sensor 203 in the sensing module 2 detect bird activity. When birds are detected approaching, the main controller 6 activates the corresponding bird deterrent module 3 within the range. The rotating base 301 drives the ultrasonic device 302 to rotate, performing 360° ultrasonic deterrence. Simultaneously, the gimbal 303 and laser emitter 304 are activated to perform laser deterrence until the signal of approaching birds disappears.
[0054] Weather sensor module 5 is used to determine the weather and day / night cycle:
[0055] Normal daytime mode: Ultrasonic power 15W, laser intensity 50mW / mm²;
[0056] When the rain sensor detects rain, the rain mode is activated: the ultrasonic power is increased to 30W (default 15W), and the frequency is locked at 25-35kHz.
[0057] When the light sensor detects nighttime, night mode is activated: the laser intensity is reduced to 20mW / mm² (default 50mW / mm²), and the flashing frequency is adjusted to 0.5Hz. This ensures bird deterrence efficiency and improves applicability.
