Abstract

Device scares birds for overhead power lines, designed to warn of the presence of birds, mainly endangered, and that can thus fly over and avoid injury and even death, in addition to possible damage to the line, characterized by comprising a main body formed by a fixed disk (1) under which rotates an axis (2), by the action of the wind when pressing four upper horizontal blades (3) and four lower (4) coupled to it and forming an angle of 90 degrees between them in each of the upper and lower sets. The projection of the 8 blades that form the total blades would be located at 45 degrees from each other. And finally, an anchoring device to the cable (8), composed of four parts (9, 10, 11 and 12) joined to the disk by means of a system of steel armored bearings and plastic inlays (13). The piece (9) acts as a support for the rest (10, 11 and 12) and is screwed to the piece (13) which in turn is attached to the fixed disk (1) and the central axis (2). The fastening to the electric cable (8), is formed by a wheel (11), a tab to prevent the cable from coming out (12) and a wedge (10) that presses the cable through a spring and fixes it on the electric cable in a certain position.

Descripción de la invención Description of the invention

El invento consiste en un dispositivo previsto para quedar suspendido en los cables del tendido eléctrico, compuesto de una base circular atravesada por un eje central que gira por la acción del viento al incidir éste sobre unas aspas horizontales 20 ancladas al citado eje. Se completa además, en un primer diseño, con la instalación de 2 diodos emisores de luz (LED) alimentados por un generador de corriente continua que utiliza el movimiento del eje central del dispositivo para su funcionamiento y dar luz y destellos las 24 horas del día independientemente de las condiciones climáticas. The invention consists of a device intended to be suspended in the cables of the power line, composed of a circular base crossed by a central axis that rotates by the action of the wind when it impacts on horizontal blades 20 anchored to said axis. It is also completed, in a first design, with the installation of 2 light emitting diodes (LED) powered by a direct current generator that uses the movement of the central axis of the device for its operation and to give light and flashes 24 hours a day regardless of weather conditions.

Concretamente consiste en un disco circular fijo, preferentemente fabricado en 25 plástico o acero inoxidable, del que cuelga un eje central mediante un soporte con dos cojinetes blindados de acero, uno recto y otro axial que soporta el peso del citado eje. En la parte superior del eje se acoplan 4 aspas horizontales y en la parte inferior otras 4. El último cuarto de la longitud total de las 8 aspas que forman el conjunto está doblado, formando un ángulo de 30º respecto a los otros 3/4 de la longitud de cada 30 aspa. Las 8 aspas están fabricadas preferentemente en metacrilato con láminas reflectantes, reduciendo el peso del conjunto, de tal forma que la más leve brisa hace girar el sistema sobre su eje central. En la parte inferior del disco de instalará un motor de corriente continua que convertirá el movimiento del eje central en electricidad. Además, opcionalmente, se podrán instalar placas solares en la parte superior del 35 disco que actuaran como complemento del motor para generar electricidad. El sistema eléctrico se completa con una batería que proporciona autonomía al sistema y con diodos emisores de luz y/o dispositivos emisores de sonido funcionando las 24 horas del día los 365 días del año. Por último, el dispositivo queda suspendido en el cable mediante una rueda que permite desplazarlo desde tierra, utilizando un hilo no 40 conductor de electricidad, hasta el punto exacto de fijación, donde quedará anclado al Specifically, it consists of a fixed circular disk, preferably made of plastic or stainless steel, from which a central axis hangs by means of a support with two armored steel bearings, one straight and the other axial, which supports the weight of said axis. In the upper part of the shaft 4 horizontal blades are coupled and in the lower part another 4. The last quarter of the total length of the 8 blades that form the set is folded, forming an angle of 30º with respect to the other 3/4 of The length of every 30 blade. The 8 blades are preferably made of methacrylate with reflective sheets, reducing the weight of the assembly, so that the slightest breeze rotates the system on its central axis. In the lower part of the disc will install a DC motor that will convert the movement of the central axis into electricity. In addition, optionally, solar panels may be installed on top of the disk that will act as a complement to the motor to generate electricity. The electrical system is completed with a battery that provides autonomy to the system and with light emitting diodes and / or sound emitting devices operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Finally, the device is suspended in the cable by means of a wheel that allows it to be moved from the ground, using a non-conductive wire, to the exact fixing point, where it will be anchored to the

cable eléctrico por presión. Con esto evitamos el complejo montaje que utilizan otro tipo de balizas y riesgos innecesarios para el operario que los instala, al no tener que operar sobre el tendido eléctrico. electric cable by pressure. With this we avoid the complex assembly that uses other types of beacons and unnecessary risks for the operator who installs them, by not having to operate on the power line.

Tanto el movimiento giratorio como los destellos lumínicos o emisiones sonoras producidos por las aspas, por los diodos o por los emisores sonoros son suficientes 5 para ahuyentar a las aves, capaces de percatarse con suficiente antelación para variar el rumbo de vuelo. Incluso en los días en que no haya nada de viento las propias aspas generan destellos y sonidos capaces de alertar a las aves. Both the rotating movement and the light flashes or noise emissions produced by the blades, diodes or sound emitters are enough to scare away the birds, capable of noticing well in advance to vary the course of flight. Even on days when there is no wind, the blades themselves generate flashes and sounds capable of alerting birds.

Al utilizar materiales de larga duración y energías renovables, el dispositivo no requiere mantenimiento en un plazo superior a 5 años. 10 When using long-lasting materials and renewable energy, the device does not require maintenance for more than 5 years. 10
