Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird deterrence equipment technology, and in particular to a bird deterrence device for power facilities. Background Technology
[0002] Bird control on power transmission towers is an important protective measure to ensure the safe operation of the power system. When birds nest or perch on the towers, it may cause short circuits, equipment damage, and power outages. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the disturbance caused by bird activity through specific technical means. Common methods are categorized into three types: physical, electronic, and biological. Physical methods include installing bird spikes and baffles; electronic methods utilize ultrasound and strobe lights to repel birds; and biological methods simulate the sounds or smells of natural enemies. For example, the existing Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN222357116U, "A Multi-directional Adjustable Bird Repelling Device for Power Towers," includes a bird repelling device for power towers. The bottom of the device is fitted with a fixed tube, and a self-rotating reflective mechanism on the outside is used to achieve the bird repelling function. However, like traditional self-rotating bird repelling mechanisms, it can only repel birds through a single planar rotating reflector. Its coverage is narrow, easily creating blind spots, and birds can easily nest in uncovered areas. Reflective bird repelling relies on light, and its effectiveness decreases significantly in low-light environments such as cloudy days and nights. Furthermore, with a long-term use of a single reflective mode, birds can easily adapt, and the bird repelling effect will gradually weaken, making it difficult to continuously ensure the safety of power towers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bird deterrent device for power facilities, which uses wind power to make the reflector rotate around and on its own axis, thereby expanding the bird deterrent range. It can also make up for the insufficient reflection in weak light by striking the ball and the thin cover to generate sound, thus effectively solving the problems in the background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A bird deterrent device for power facilities includes a hanging plate, a carrier plate fixedly connected to one side of the hanging plate, a bearing fixedly connected to the carrier plate, a column fixedly connected inside the bearing plate, a self-rotating mechanism provided on the column, the self-rotating mechanism including a lower sleeve, the lower sleeve being movably connected to the column, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the lower sleeve, a thin cover fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, a first bevel gear fixedly connected to the column located inside the lower sleeve, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the top cover and positioned above the first bevel gear, a second bevel gear rotatably connected to the top of the top cover positioned above the rotating shaft, and an insert fixedly connected to the top of the second bevel gear.
[0005] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a bearing is inserted between the lower sleeve and the column, and a fan blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the lower sleeve. After the fan blade is installed on the outside of the lower sleeve, the lower sleeve can rotate on the column by itself with the help of the wind at high altitude, without the need for external power equipment.
[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a third bevel gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft located above the first bevel gear. The third bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. When the lower sleeve rotates on the column with the help of wind power through the fan blade, the lower sleeve synchronously drives the first bevel gear to rotate, thereby causing the first bevel gear to mesh with the third bevel gear and drive the rotating shaft to rotate in the opposite direction.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, mounting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft, and reflectors are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plates. When the rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the mounting plates to rotate, thereby causing the reflectors on both sides of the mounting plates to rotate and reflect light to scare away birds. At the same time, the lower sleeve can also drive the mounting plates and reflectors to revolve around the column as the axis through the top cover and the rotating shaft, realizing multi-directional and multi-angle reflection operation.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the thin cover is fixedly connected to the top cover by multiple connecting tubes.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the second bevel gear and the third bevel gear are meshed together. A spline shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the second bevel gear. A keyway is provided in the insert block. A striking ball is fixedly connected to the outside of the insert block. A striking ball is fixedly connected to the side of the striking ball away from the insert block. The insert block is inserted and connected to the spline shaft through the keyway and fixed with screws. When the third bevel gear rotates, it meshes with the second bevel gear, so that the second bevel gear drives the insert block to rotate. This allows the insert block to use the spring on the outside to drive the striking ball to strike the connecting tube in a cycle. The sound is amplified through resonance by the thin cover to achieve the effect of repelling birds.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, no external power is required. The wind at high altitude drives the fan blades to rotate the lower base, thereby allowing the reflector to simultaneously revolve around the column as its axis and rotate on its own axis. This significantly expands the reflective coverage area and eliminates the blind spots of traditional bird-repelling devices. At the same time, the third bevel gear drives the second bevel gear and the insert block to rotate, causing the striking ball to repeatedly strike the connecting pipe. The sound is then amplified by the resonance of the thin cover. Even in low-light environments such as cloudy days or nights, the sound can effectively repel birds, preventing birds from developing an adaptation to a single reflective pattern. This dual bird-repelling method more stably ensures the safe operation of power facilities. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0014] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a bird deterrent device for power facilities, including a hanging plate 1, a carrier plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the hanging plate 1, a bearing seat 3 fixedly connected to the carrier plate 2, a column 4 fixedly connected inside the bearing seat 3, a self-rotating mechanism 5 provided on the column 4, the self-rotating mechanism 5 including a lower sleeve 6, the lower sleeve 6 being movably connected to the column 4, a top cover 7 fixedly connected to the top of the lower sleeve 6, a thin cover 8 fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 7, a first bevel gear 9 fixedly connected to the column 4 located inside the lower sleeve 6, a rotating shaft 10 rotatably connected inside the top cover 7 and located above the first bevel gear 9, a second bevel gear 11 rotatably connected to the top of the top cover 7 located above the rotating shaft 10, and an insert block 12 fixedly connected to the top of the second bevel gear 11.
[0015] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a bearing 14 is inserted between the lower sleeve 6 and the column 4. A fan blade 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lower sleeve 6. After the fan blade 13 is installed on the outside of the lower sleeve 6, the lower sleeve 6 can rotate on the column 4 by itself with the help of the wind at high altitude, without the need for external power equipment.
[0016] like Figures 2-4As shown, a third bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 10 located above the first bevel gear 9. The third bevel gear 15 meshes with the first bevel gear 9. When the lower sleeve 6 rotates on the column 4 with the help of wind power via the fan blade 13, the lower sleeve 6 synchronously drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, thereby causing the first bevel gear 9 to mesh with the third bevel gear 15 and driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate in a different direction. Mounting plates 16 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 10, and reflectors 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plates 16. When the rotating shaft 10 rotates, it drives the mounting plates 16 to rotate, thereby causing the reflectors 17 on both sides of the mounting plates 16 to rotate and reflect light to scare away birds. At the same time, the lower sleeve 6 can also drive the mounting plates 16 and reflectors 17 to revolve around the column 4 as the axis through the top cover 7 and the rotating shaft 10, realizing multiple The thin cover 8 is fixedly connected to the top cover 7 via multiple connecting tubes 18 for multi-angle reflection. The second bevel gear 11 and the third bevel gear 15 are meshed together. A spline shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the second bevel gear 11. A keyway 20 is provided in the insert block 12. A striking ball 22 is fixedly connected to the outside of the insert block 12. A striking ball 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the striking ball 22 away from the insert block 12. The insert block 12 is inserted and connected to the spline shaft 19 through the keyway 20 and fixed with screws. When the third bevel gear 15 rotates, it meshes with the second bevel gear 11, so that the second bevel gear 11 drives the insert block 12 to rotate. Thus, the insert block 12 uses the outer spring 21 to drive the striking ball 22 to strike the connecting tube 18 in a cycle. The sound is amplified through resonance by the thin cover 8 to achieve the effect of repelling birds with sound.
[0017] It should be noted that this utility model is a bird deterrent device for power facilities. After being fixed to a designated position on the power facility by the hanging plate 1, when there is wind blowing at high altitude, the wind force acts on the wind blades 13 on the outside of the lower sleeve 6, causing the lower sleeve 6 to rotate around the column 4. Since the first bevel gear 9 is fixed on the column 4, when the lower sleeve 6 rotates on the column 4, the first bevel gear 9 meshes with the third bevel gear 15 on the rotating shaft 10. The rotational force of the first bevel gear 9 is transmitted to the third bevel gear 15, thereby driving the lower sleeve 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 10 achieves reversal rotation. When the rotating shaft 10 rotates, it will drive the mounting plate 16 and the reflector 17 to rotate together, so that the reflector 17 produces a dynamic reflection effect. At the same time, the rotation of the lower sleeve 6 will also drive the rotating shaft 10, the mounting plate 16 and the reflector 17 to revolve around the column 4 through the top cover 7, thereby greatly expanding the reflective coverage of the reflector 17, which can cover areas that are difficult to reach by traditional devices, effectively eliminating bird deterrence blind spots, and repelling birds through continuously changing reflective stimulation. In addition, when the third bevel gear 15 rotates, it will mesh with the second bevel gear 11, causing the second bevel gear 11 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 11 will drive the insert block 12 to rotate through the spline shaft 19. During the rotation of the insert block 12, the striking ball 22 will repeatedly strike the connecting tube 18 under the action of inertia. That is, the connecting tube 18 is connected to the thin cover 8 on the top of the top cover 7. The sound generated by the striking is amplified by the resonance of the thin cover 8, forming a continuous sound interference. Even in low light environments such as cloudy days and nights, when the reflective effect is weakened, the amplified sound can still effectively drive away birds.
