Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power transmission tower technology, specifically to a power transmission tower with a bird-proof device. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission towers are structures that support the conductors and lightning protection wires of high-voltage transmission lines. They are generally classified into five types according to their shape: goblet-shaped, cat-head-shaped, U-shaped, T-shaped, and barrel-shaped. According to their purpose, they are classified into tension towers, straight-line towers, angle towers, transposition towers (towers for changing conductor phase positions), terminal towers, and crossing towers. Transmission towers are mostly used outdoors, and due to their height, they attract birds to nest and live on them. Bird nests and bird droppings can affect the transmission lines and increase the workload of maintenance personnel. To improve this situation, a transmission tower with bird-proof devices has been proposed.

[0003] For example, the angle steel tower with bird-proof device disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN222485941U includes a transmission angle steel tower body and a transmission installation frame. The transmission installation frame is fixedly installed on the side of the transmission angle steel tower body. A top plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the transmission angle steel tower body. A bird-proof mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the transmission angle steel tower body. A reinforcement mechanism is provided at the bottom of the transmission angle steel tower body.

[0004] Although it achieves the goal of setting a bird-proof mechanism on the top surface of the top plate, the loudspeaker in the bird-proof mechanism can simulate the sound of birds' natural enemies to deter birds from approaching. Under the action of high-altitude wind, the reflector set on the upper part of the outer surface of the fixed pole rotates to reflect sunlight and drive away birds to avoid disturbing the transmission angle steel tower body. By setting a reinforcement mechanism on the bottom surface of the transmission angle steel tower body, the stability of the transmission angle steel tower body is improved and it is not easy to shake.

[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing power transmission towers are not easy to knock on to scare away birds, nor is it easy to use the sound to scare away birds in different locations, thus affecting the effectiveness of bird control. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a power transmission tower with a bird-repelling device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that power transmission towers are not easy to knock on to drive birds away from the tower, and it is not conducive to driving birds away from different locations by sound, thus affecting the effectiveness of bird deterrence.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transmission tower with a bird-proof device, comprising a transmission tower body and a placement plate. The top of the transmission tower body is provided with a placement plate, the top of the placement plate is provided with a placement seat, the top of the placement seat is provided with an integrated frame, a storage battery is provided on the top of the placement seat on one side of the integrated frame, a photovoltaic panel is provided on the top of the placement seat on the side of the storage battery, and the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel irradiating sunlight is stored inside the storage battery. An electric push rod is provided on the outer wall of the integrated frame, a push arm is installed at the output end of the electric push rod, a rack is provided at the end of the push arm away from the electric push rod, and the rack is slidably connected to the integrated frame. A movable rod is provided inside the integrated frame, and the movable rod is movably connected to the integrated frame and extends to the outside of the integrated frame. A gear is provided on the surface of the movable rod inside the integrated frame, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0008] Preferably, a sleeve is provided at the top of the movable rod, and a sound-emitting tube is provided on the surface of the movable rod outside the integrated frame.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve has a connecting rod inside, and the connecting rod is movably connected to the sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the sleeve is provided with a drive seat, and the connecting rod extends into the interior of the drive seat and is movably connected to the drive seat.

[0011] Preferably, a stepper motor is provided on the side wall of the drive base, and a worm gear is installed at the output end of the stepper motor.

[0012] Preferably, a worm wheel is fitted on the surface of the connecting rod on one side of the worm, and the worm and the worm wheel mesh with each other.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the linkage rod away from the drive seat is provided with two sets of striking blocks, and the striking blocks are connected to the linkage rod by a flexible rope.

[0014] Preferably, the sound-emitting tube is made of stainless steel, and the striking block is also made of stainless steel, and the striking block can strike the sound-emitting tube to make the sound-emitting tube emit sound.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the transmission tower not only realizes the ability to drive birds away from the transmission tower by knocking, which is convenient for driving birds away from different locations by knocking, but also improves the effect of bird deterrence.

[0016] The transmission tower body is assembled from multiple steel structures. During outdoor assembly and installation, a placement plate is installed on the tower body, and the placement base and its devices are mounted on the placement plate. The placement base contains a PLC and other control components to control the entire system. Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, which is stored in a battery. This battery powers the electric actuator and stepper motor. The device uses sound waves to deter birds from nesting or perching on the tower. Activating the stepper motor drives a worm gear mechanism. The rod rotates, and the worm gear drives the connecting rod to rotate inside the sleeve via the worm wheel. The connecting rod drives the striking block to rotate via the flexible rope, so that the striking block strikes the sound-producing tube. Because the sound-producing tube is hollow, when the striking block strikes the outer wall of the sound-producing tube, it will emit a sound from inside the tube. This takes advantage of birds' fear of sound to disturb them and drive them away from the transmission tower, preventing them from nesting and roosting on the tower. This device achieves the goal of using sound to drive birds away from the transmission tower. It is inexpensive, has a long service life, and reduces maintenance costs compared to electronic products.

[0017] Simultaneously, the electric push rod can be continuously switched on and off, causing the push arm to move back and forth. The push arm then causes the rack to move back and forth within the integrated frame. The rack, through gears, causes the movable rod to rotate back and forth, which in turn causes the sound-emitting tube to rotate back and forth. As the sound-emitting tube rotates, it emits sound simultaneously, thereby driving away birds in different locations and improving the bird-repelling effect. This method facilitates the use of sound to drive away birds in different locations and enhances the effectiveness of bird deterrence and prevention. Attached Figure Description

An electric push rod 12 is provided on the outer wall of the integrated frame 4, and the electric push rod 12 plays a power driving role. A push arm 11 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 12. A rack 10 is provided at the end of the push arm 11 away from the electric push rod 12, and the rack 10 is slidably connected to the integrated frame 4.

A gear 8 is provided on the surface of the movable rod 9 inside the integrated frame 4, and the gear 8 meshes with the rack 10.

[0025] The transmission tower body 1 is assembled from multiple steel structures. During outdoor assembly and installation, the placement plate 2 is installed on the tower body 1, and the placement seat 3 and its associated devices are installed on the placement plate 2. The placement seat 3 contains a PLC and other control components to control the entire system. Solar panels 6 generate electricity from sunlight, which is stored in a battery 7. The battery 7 powers the electric push rod 12 and the stepper motor 16. This device uses sound waves to deter birds from nesting or roosting on the transmission tower body 1. By activating the stepper motor 16, the stepper motor drives the worm gear 17 to rotate. With the meshing of worm gear 17 and worm wheel 18, worm 17 drives connecting rod 14 to rotate inside sleeve 19 via worm wheel 18. Connecting rod 14 drives striking block 13 to rotate via flexible rope, so that striking block 13 strikes sound tube 5. Because the inside of sound tube 5 is hollow, when striking block 13 strikes the outer wall of sound tube 5, sound will be emitted from inside sound tube 5. This takes advantage of birds' fear of sound to disturb birds and drive them away from the transmission tower body 1, preventing birds from nesting and roosting on the transmission tower body 1. This device achieves the goal of driving birds away from the transmission tower by striking and making sounds. It is low in cost, has a long service life, and can reduce maintenance costs compared to electronic products.

A worm wheel 18 is fitted on the surface of the connecting rod 14 on one side of the worm 17, and the worm 17 and the worm wheel 18 mesh with each other.

[0029] Two sets of striking blocks 13 are provided at the end of the linkage 14 away from the drive seat 15. The striking blocks 13 are connected to the linkage 14 via flexible ropes. The sound tube 5 is made of stainless steel, and the striking blocks 13 are also made of stainless steel. The striking blocks 13 can strike the sound tube 5 to make the sound tube 5 emit sound.

[0030] Simultaneously, by continuously switching the electric push rod 12, the electric push rod 12 drives the push arm 11 to move back and forth, and the push arm 11 drives the rack 10 to move back and forth inside the integrated frame 4. Under the mutual meshing of the rack 10 and the gear 8, the rack 10 drives the movable rod 9 to rotate back and forth through the gear 8, and the movable rod 9 drives the sound-emitting tube 5 to rotate back and forth. While the sound-emitting tube 5 is rotating, the sound-emitting tube 5 emits sound at the same time, thereby driving away birds in different positions, thus improving the bird-driving effect. This facilitates the use of sound to drive away birds in different positions and improves the bird-driving and bird-prevention effect.

[0031] Working principle: The transmission tower body 1 is assembled from multiple steel structures. During outdoor assembly and installation, the placement plate 2 is installed on the tower body 1, and the placement seat 3 and its associated devices are installed on the placement plate 2. The placement seat 3 contains a PLC and other control components to control the entire assembly. A stepper motor 16 drives the worm gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 14 to rotate inside the sleeve 19 via a worm wheel 18. The connecting rod 14 then drives the striking block 13 to rotate via a flexible rope, causing the striking block 13 to strike the sound-emitting tube 5. Because the sound-emitting tube 5 is hollow, when the striking block 13 strikes the outer wall of the sound-emitting tube 5, it will... Sound is emitted from the sound-emitting tube 5, thus utilizing birds' fear of sound to disturb them and drive them away from the transmission tower body 1, preventing them from nesting and roosting on the transmission tower body 1. At the same time, the electric push rod 12 can be switched continuously, which drives the push arm 11 to move back and forth. The push arm 11 drives the rack 10 to move back and forth inside the integrated frame 4. With the meshing of the rack 10 and the gear 8, the rack 10 drives the movable rod 9 to rotate back and forth through the gear 8. The movable rod 9 drives the sound-emitting tube 5 to rotate back and forth. The sound-emitting tube 5 emits sound at the same time as it rotates, thereby driving away birds in different locations and improving the bird deterrence effect.
