Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snake-repelling devices, and in particular to a pole-mounted snake-repelling device. Background Technology

[0002] With increased awareness of wildlife conservation and improved ecological environment, snake activity has increased significantly in the summer. Snakes frequently intrude into areas of human activity. Power transmission lines traverse mountains and cross rivers. Whenever a snake climbs onto the insulators of power lines or towers, electrical discharges are highly likely to occur, damaging the insulators and causing injury or death to the snake. Almost every power outage caused by a snake-related electrical discharge results in a dead snake being found at the scene. In wild ecosystems, snakes are at the top of the food chain, preying on rodents, small birds, frogs, etc. The accidental death of snakes disrupts small-scale ecosystems, violating the principles of ecological and sustainable development.

[0003] Existing snake-repelling devices, such as spiked devices, involve placing spikes on poles and guy wires. When snakes touch these spikes while climbing, they are injured, causing them to fall or turn back. While this achieves snake repellency to some extent, it injures snakes, reducing their survival ability in the wild and potentially leading to accidental death. Furthermore, snakes are predators for some species (such as rats), and killing some snakes could deprive rats of their natural predators, exacerbating rat infestations and creating a vicious cycle. Clearly, such snake-repelling devices still disrupt the balance of small ecosystems to some extent. Rotating snake-repelling devices use a rotating structure to cause snakes to lose their balance under gravity and fall from the guy wire; electric shock snake-repelling devices use an electric shock device to cause snakes to fall. Both methods stimulate snakes to fall to the ground, but snakes still risk injury and being eliminated from the ecosystem.

[0004] To address this issue, a pole-mounted snake-repelling device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pole-mounted snake-repelling device to solve the problems existing in the prior art, which can repel snakes without harming them.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: This utility model provides a pole-mounted snake-repelling device, comprising:

The controller's control system analyzes the data; if a snake is present, it activates the first and second motors to perform the snake repelling operation. This utility model can achieve the effect of repelling snakes without harming them, thus forming an effective barrier to prevent snakes from climbing into the protected area.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a pole-mounted snake-repelling device, comprising:

[0026] A fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected to two support plates 2. A round tube 3 is fixedly connected to each of the two support plates 2. The two round tubes 3 are located inside the two support plates 2. A bracket 4 is fixedly connected between the two round tubes 3. Several mounting holes 5 are opened on the fixed plate 1.

[0027] The spraying assembly includes a storage tank 6 and an outer cylinder 7. The storage tank 6 is filled with snake repellent and has several leakage holes 8. The outer cylinder 7 has several spray holes 9. The storage tank 6 is rotatably mounted in a support 4. A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 6 and extends out of the outer cylinder 7. A first motor 11 and a second motor 12 are fixedly connected to the support plate 2. The first motor 11 is driven by the storage tank 6. The support 4 is located inside the outer cylinder 7. The outer cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to a circular tube 3. The second motor 12 is driven by the outer cylinder 7.

[0028] The control component includes a controller and a camera 13. The camera 13, the first motor 11, and the second motor 12 are all electrically connected to the controller, which has a control system.

[0029] This device is installed on pole 25. The fixing plate 1 is installed on pole 25 through the mounting hole 5. Screws or wire ropes can be used for installation, and the installation method is not limited. The liquid tank 6 is placed horizontally and is located in the bracket 4. The first motor 11 drives the liquid tank 6 to rotate. When the liquid tank 6 rotates, the snake repellent liquid in the liquid tank 6 can flow out through the leakage hole 8. After the snake repellent liquid flows out of the liquid tank 6, it will fall on the outer cylinder 7. The second motor 12 drives the outer cylinder 7 to rotate. Since there are several spray holes 9 on the outer cylinder 7, after the outer cylinder 7 rotates, the neem oil inside will be thrown out through the spray holes 9, thereby achieving the spraying effect. The camera 13 is used to observe whether there are snakes on pole 25. The camera 13 sends the image information to the controller. The controller's control system analyzes the data. If there are snakes, it will start the first motor 11 and the second motor 12 to carry out snake repellent operation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the storage tank 6 is also equipped with a level gauge (not shown in the figure). The level gauge (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to the controller. The level gauge can monitor the liquid content in the storage tank 6. When the content is insufficient, it can transmit a signal to the controller. The controller has a communication module that can transmit the signal of insufficient snake repellent liquid to the administrator.

[0031] exist Figure 3 In the diagram, the position of camera 13 is for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate that it is installed on the side of tower 25 away from outer cylinder 7; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another usage state of the device, in which the outer cylinder 7 can be located below the fixed plate 1.

[0032] In a further optimized design, a through hole 14 is provided on the support plate 2, through which the rotating shaft 10 passes. A first gear 15 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the first motor 11, and a second gear 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10. The first gear 15 and the second gear 16 mesh with each other.

[0033] The first motor 11 drives the first gear 15 to rotate, the first gear 15 drives the second gear 16 to rotate, and the second gear 16 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the liquid storage tank 6.

[0034] In a further optimized design, a third gear 17 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the second motor 12, an annular plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 7, and a gear ring 19 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 18. The third gear 17 meshes with the gear ring 19.

[0035] The second motor 12 drives the third gear 17 to rotate, the third gear 17 drives the gear ring 19 to rotate, and the gear ring 19 drives the outer cylinder 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the spraying of snake repellent liquid.

[0036] The scheme is further optimized by opening a first through hole at both ends of the outer cylinder 7, with the round tube 3 located inside the first through hole, and the round tube 3 and the outer cylinder 7 being rotatably connected by the bearing 20.

[0037] The outer cylinder 7 and the round tube 3 can rotate more flexibly through the bearing 20.

[0038] The scheme is further optimized by connecting a liquid filling pipe 21 to the liquid storage tank 6, and installing a valve 24 on the liquid filling pipe 21. The liquid filling pipe 21 passes through the round pipe 3 and the through hole 14.

[0039] The liquid addition pipe 21 facilitates the addition of snake repellent to the storage tank 6, and the valve 24 is used to control the liquid addition pipe 21.

[0040] In a further optimized version, the device also includes a solar photovoltaic panel 22 and a battery 23, which are electrically connected. The first motor 11, the second motor 12, the battery 23, and the controller are all electrically connected to the battery 23.

[0041] The solar photovoltaic panel 22 is installed on the pole 25. The solar photovoltaic panel 22 charges the battery 23, and the battery 23 supplies power to this device.

[0042] The device is used by observing whether there are snakes on the pole 25 through camera 13. Camera 13 sends the image information to the controller. The controller's control system analyzes the data and, if there are snakes, starts the first motor 11 and the second motor 12. The first motor 11 drives the first gear 15 to rotate, the first gear 15 drives the second gear 16 to rotate, and the second gear 16 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, thereby rotating the storage tank 6.
