Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power facility protection technology, and in particular to a physical bird-repelling device and system for power facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional bird deterrent devices, such as reflective windmills, bird spikes, or electronic bird deterrents with only sound and light functions, have simple mechanisms of action and fixed modes of operation. Birds, as highly adaptable organisms, quickly adapt to these regular and repetitive deterrent stimuli, causing their effectiveness to rapidly diminish over time, failing to provide long-term, effective protection. Most existing devices lack active detection capabilities and can only operate indiscriminately, continuously, or at set intervals. This "blind deterrence" mode cannot respond promptly to the moment birds appear, creating a protective gap and failing to achieve long-term effective bird deterrence in power-enabled scenarios.

[0003] Furthermore, the effectiveness of simple visual (such as reflections from mirrors) or auditory (such as playing predator sounds) warnings varies greatly among different bird species and with different habits. Especially during periods when birds have a strong nesting desire, simple deterrence is often insufficient to prevent them from approaching, and they may still roost and nest on power facilities, failing to eliminate the potential for bird damage at its source. Some bird-repelling devices that use loudspeakers or frequently play loud noises can cause serious noise pollution when used on power lines near residential areas or towns, affecting the lives of nearby residents, easily leading to complaints, and limiting the widespread application of such devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a physical bird-repelling device and system for power facilities, which can achieve long-term and effective bird repellency by combining multi-dimensional physical means with intelligent sensing.

[0005] A physical bird-repelling device for power facilities, comprising:

[0006] Device casing;

[0007] A radar detection unit, mounted on the housing of the device, is used to detect bird activity within a preset range and generate detection signals;

[0008] The integrated control unit is located inside the housing of the device and is electrically connected to the radar detection unit. It is used to receive and respond to the detection signal and generate drive commands.

[0009] And multiple bird-scare units, all electrically connected to the integrated control unit, are used to respond to the drive command and execute the corresponding bird-scare actions;

[0010] The bird-scare unit includes at least: a striking vibration unit for generating physical vibration and knocking sound, a rotating bird-scare unit for achieving physical rotational obstruction, an ultrasonic unit for emitting ultrasonic waves that are inaudible to the human ear, and a strobe light unit for emitting strong light flashes.

[0011] Furthermore, the radar detection unit is a microwave radar detector with a detection range of 10 meters.

[0012] Furthermore, the striking vibration unit includes an electromagnet striking linkage mechanism, which is disposed inside the device housing and is used to strike the bottom of the device housing or the mounting base to generate vibration and sound.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating bird-shooing unit includes a motor and a bird-shooing stick driven by the motor, and the motor and bird-shooing stick are disposed on the top of the device housing.

[0014] Furthermore, the ultrasonic unit includes an ultrasonic horn, the operating frequency of which is set to 12KHz to 25KHz.

[0015] Furthermore, the strobe light unit includes red and blue dual-color high-brightness LED beads, and the strobe light unit is disposed on the outside of the device housing.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a power supply unit, which includes a solar panel disposed on the top of the device housing and a battery inside the device housing, for supplying power to the entire device's power system.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a timed reset unit, which is a hardware timing circuit independent of the integrated control unit and connected to the power supply unit, used to periodically perform a power-off restart operation on the integrated control unit.

[0018] Furthermore, this utility model also provides a physical bird-scare system, wherein the integrated control unit of the system is configured to perform the following operating modes:

[0019] Active detection and deterrence mode: When the radar detection unit detects birds, the integrated control unit controls the multiple bird deterrence units to start sequentially or simultaneously;

[0020] Low-frequency random prevention mode: When the radar detection unit does not detect birds within a preset time period, the integrated control unit randomly activates one or more of the bird-repelling units.

[0021] Furthermore, in the active detection and deterrence mode, the integrated control unit controls the knocking vibration unit, the rotating bird-scare unit, the ultrasonic unit, and the flashing light unit to work sequentially in a preset order.

[0022] The present invention provides a physical bird-repelling device and system for power facilities, which has the following advantages:

[0023] This invention achieves proactive sensing and precise bird control through the collaboration of a radar detection unit and an integrated control unit, effectively eliminating protection gaps and reducing system power consumption. Through the synergistic and sequential effects of multi-sensory composite stimulation, it effectively disrupts the birds' learning and adaptation process, significantly reducing their adaptability and achieving long-term effective bird control. The low-frequency random prevention mode breaks the regularity of the bird control behavior, further consolidating the repellency effect. Simultaneously, the use of physical and ultrasonic methods as the primary means of bird control avoids noise pollution and enhances environmental friendliness. An independent timed reset unit improves the long-term operational reliability of the device in outdoor environments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] A physical bird-repelling device and system for power facilities, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it mainly includes a device housing 100, a power supply unit, a radar detection unit, a comprehensive control unit, and multiple bird-scare units.

[0035] The outer casing 100 of the device is made of metal sheet, such as steel, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, serving as the main load-bearing structure and protective structure of the entire device. Internally, it is equipped with mounting brackets to increase structural strength. These mounting brackets include a mounting base 101, a striking device mounting bracket 102, a battery mounting bracket 103, a mainboard bracket 104, and a solar panel bracket 105, providing mounting positioning and support for the various functional units within the device.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 A solar panel 201 is fixed to the top of the device housing 100 via an inclined solar panel bracket 105 to maximize the reception of sunlight. The device housing 100 also includes a power switch 106 and an indicator light 107 for easy on-site operation and status monitoring. A mounting base 101 is located at the bottom of the device housing 100, and this mounting base 101 is embedded with a strong magnet 1011, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, allowing the device to adhere to the surface of ferrous electrical facilities. Simultaneously, the mounting base 101 has fixing holes for cable ties to pass through for auxiliary fastening, enabling tool-free and rapid installation.

[0037] Specifically, the power supply unit includes a solar panel 201 mounted on the top of the device housing 100 and a battery 202 disposed inside the device housing 100. The solar panel 201 is tilted and fixed to the top of the device housing 100 by a solar panel bracket 105 to maximize the reception of sunlight. The battery 202 is fixed to the bottom plate inside the device housing 100 by a battery mounting bracket 103. The solar panel 201 charges the battery 202 through a charge and discharge management circuit, and the battery 202 provides a stable power supply to each power-consuming unit within the device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the radar detection unit is preferably a microwave radar detector 301, which is installed on the side wall of the device housing 100 and is used to actively detect bird activity within a preset range. The preset range can be set to within 10 meters and generate a detection signal.

[0039] The integrated control unit is the core control module, which includes a motherboard 400, which is fixed to a motherboard bracket 104 inside the device housing 100 by screws. The motherboard 400 integrates a microprocessor, a memory, and drive circuits for each unit. The integrated control unit is electrically connected to the radar detection unit and is used to receive and respond to the detection signals emitted by the radar.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bird-scare unit includes four sub-units: a tapping vibration unit, a rotating bird-scare unit, an ultrasonic unit, and a strobe light unit.

[0041] In detail, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the striking vibration unit includes an electromagnet striking linkage mechanism 501, which is mounted on a striking device mounting bracket 102 inside the device housing 100. Its iron core faces the impact point on the mounting base 101 or the inner wall of the device housing 100. When the integrated control unit issues a command, the electromagnet on the mounting base 101 is energized and attracted. The electromagnet can be a neodymium iron boron strong magnet 1011, driving the iron core to strike the impact point at high speed. This transmits strong vibrations and loud striking sounds to the power facilities through the device housing 100 and the mounting base 101, deterring birds.

[0042] The rotating bird-scare unit includes a motor 502 and a bird-scare stick 503. One end of the motor 502 is fixed to the top of the device housing 100 via a solar panel bracket 105. The motor 502 is connected to the bird-scare stick 503 and is used to drive the bird-scare stick 503. The bird-scare stick 503 can be made of flexible material, such as, but not limited to, weather-resistant rubber and reinforced fiber composite materials. Driven by the motor 502, it rotates at high speed, forming a physical barrier against birds attempting to land.

[0043] The ultrasonic unit includes an ultrasonic speaker 504, which is fixed to the opening on the side of the device housing 100 by screws and faces outward to emit sound. The ultrasonic speaker 503 preferably operates in the frequency band of 12KHz to 25KHz and emits ultrasonic waves that are inaudible to the human ear to drive away.

[0044] The strobe light unit includes red and blue dual-color high-brightness LED beads 505 encapsulated in a transparent protective cover, which are disposed on the outer side wall of the device housing 100 and are used to emit strong light strobe.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the integrated control unit and the percussion vibration device are distributed inside the device housing 100 below the solar panel 201. The strobe light unit is located on the side wing of the device housing 100, and the bird-scare stick 503 penetrates the device housing 100 and extends outwards. More specifically, as... Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the striking vibration unit is specifically two symmetrically arranged electromagnet striking mechanisms that generate vibration and sound by striking the bottom angle iron crossarm, thereby ensuring the striking force is balanced.

[0046] In one embodiment, the timing reset unit is a hardware timing circuit independent of the integrated control unit, such as a timing chip TPL5010 or a 555 timer circuit. The hardware timing circuit is directly connected to the output terminal of the battery 202 and can be set to generate a reset signal every 24 hours, briefly cutting off the power supply of the integrated control unit for about 1-2 seconds and then restoring it, thereby achieving a forced restart, eliminating software crashes that may be caused by extreme weather, and improving the reliability of the device in field operations.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment represents the working mode of the physical bird-repelling system. After the system is powered on, the integrated control unit initializes each module, and the radar detection unit begins periodic scanning.

[0048] When the device is in active detection and deterrence mode, the radar detects birds flying in within 10 meters and sends a signal to the integrated control unit. In one specific embodiment, the integrated control unit controls each bird-scare unit to operate in a preset sequence and duration. For example, first, the striking vibration unit is driven to operate for 3 seconds, generating a sudden sonic deterrent; then, the rotating bird-scare unit is activated, with the motor 502 driving the bird-scare stick 503 to rotate for 20 seconds; simultaneously, the ultrasonic unit is driven to emit 20kHz ultrasonic waves for 15 seconds; finally, the strobe light unit is driven to flash at a frequency of 10Hz for 10 seconds. This sequential, coordinated operation maximizes the disruption of the birds' senses, making it impossible for them to adapt.

[0049] When the device is in low-frequency random preventative mode, if the radar does not detect a target for 60 consecutive minutes, the integrated control unit switches to this mode. The random number generation circuit within the integrated control unit is configured to randomly generate a control signal every 5-15 minutes, driving one or more of the four bird-repelling methods to operate briefly once, for example, driving the strobe light unit to flash three times or driving the vibration unit to strike once. This irregular preventative repelling fills the protective gaps, thereby consolidating the long-term bird-repelling effect.

[0050] The above is a description of a physical bird-repelling device and system for power facilities according to the present invention, which is used to help understand the present invention; however, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the principle of the present invention shall be considered as equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
