Dispositivo anti-colisión para aves.Anti-collision device for birds.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo que ha sido especialmente concebido para evitar la colisión y electrocución de aves contra tendidos eléctricos.The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to prevent collision and electrocution of birds against power lines.

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un dispositivo sumamente sencillo, económico y eficaz, que pueda ser implantado en dichos tendidos eléctricos evitando las citadas colisiones y electrocuciones de aves, todo ello con una larga vida útil, prácticamente ilimitada, que haga viable su implantación.The object of the invention is to provide a extremely simple, economical and effective device that can be implanted in said power lines avoiding those mentioned bird collisions and electrocutions, all with a long life useful, practically unlimited, that makes its implementation viable.

Background of the invention

Como consecuencia directa de los resultados de las investigaciones sobre las causas de mortandad no natural, mas frecuente en la avifauna, se ha puesto de manifiesto, que entre las principales se encuentran la electrocución y colisión de las aves con las estructuras de los tendidos eléctricos; por consiguiente, y ante el alto grado de sensibilización social en todo lo referente a la protección de las especies animales, el Real Decreto 1432/2008, en base a lo establecido por la Ley 42/2007 del Patrimonio Natural y Biodiversidad, establece unas serie de prescripciones cuya finalidad es la de asegurar al máximo la inocuidad de los tendidos eléctricos para las aves. En este sentido y de acuerdo con el artículo 149.1.23 de la Constitución, son varios los Gobiernos Autonómicos que han establecido normas adicionales de protección.As a direct consequence of the results of investigations into the causes of unnatural death, but frequent in the birdlife, it has been revealed that among the main are the electrocution and collision of the birds with the structures of the power lines; therefore, and given the high degree of social awareness in everything related to the protection of animal species, Royal Decree 1432/2008, based on the provisions of Law 42/2007 on Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, establishes a series of prescriptions whose purpose is to ensure maximum safety of the lines electric for birds. In this regard and in accordance with the Article 149.1.23 of the Constitution, there are several Governments Autonomous who have established additional rules of protection.

En este sentido, es necesario contribuir al desarrollo de dispositivos que minimicen al máximo los posibles riesgos que los tendidos eléctricos presentan para la vida de las aves, y que a su vez no ocasionen un gasto económico tal que reduzca ostensiblemente el desarrollo de los tendidos eléctricos y por tanto de las zonas más deprimidas, ya que precisamente son estas, las que actualmente carecen en mayor o menor medida de suministro eléctrico.In this sense, it is necessary to contribute to development of devices that minimize as much as possible risks that power lines present for the life of birds, and that in turn do not cause an economic expense such that significantly reduce the development of power lines and therefore of the most depressed areas, since they are precisely These, which currently lack more or less electrical supply

Centrándonos exclusivamente en la legislación básica, es decir en el R.D. 1432/2008, se establecen dos tipos de medidas de protección; las denominadas medidas anticolisión, cuya misión es la evitar el choque de las aves con los conductores que forman parte de los tendidos eléctricos y las denominadas medidas contra la electrocución, destinadas a evitar el riesgo que supone para las aves entrar en contacto simultaneo con dos conductores a distinto potencial o con una fase y una estructura conductora conectada a tierra.Focusing exclusively on legislation basic, that is in the R.D. 1432/2008, two types of protection measures; the so-called anti-collision measures, whose mission is to avoid the clash of birds with drivers that they are part of the power lines and the so-called measures against electrocution, aimed at avoiding the risk involved for birds to enter into simultaneous contact with two conductors to different potential or with a phase and a conductive structure grounded

En lo que se refiere a dispositivos que eviten o reduzcan el riesgo de choque con los conductores, actualmente existen diversos dispositivos de éste tipo que, presentan una problemática que se centra en los siguientes aspectos:Regarding devices that avoid or reduce the risk of collision with drivers, currently there are several devices of this type that present a problematic that focuses on the following aspects:

--: Incorporan uno o varios elementos cuya durabilidad ante las agresiones originadas por las variaciones ambientales es relativamente baja (de cinco a quince años), y por tanto, transcurrido dicho plazo dejan de cumplir su función.They incorporate one or several elements whose durability against aggressions caused by variations environmental is relatively low (five to fifteen years), and for so, after that period they stop fulfilling their function.

--: Incluyen en su estructura elementos reflectantes, lo que en algunas ocasiones puede originar algún tipo de riesgo de deslumbramiento ante la presencia de aeronaves, o a cualquier otro trabajo en altura.Include in their structure elements reflective, which sometimes can cause some kind of risk of glare in the presence of aircraft, or any other work at height.

--: Disponen de un complejo sistema de fijación del dispositivo de protección con el conductor, lo que implica un costo económico relativamente elevado.They have a complex system of fixing the protective device with the driver, which It implies a relatively high economic cost.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta el dispositivo que se preconiza está constituido a partir de un bloque óptico, materializado en una placa metálica de perfil en "Z", destinada a girar por efecto del viento a lo largo de su imaginario eje medio vertical, y reducir la transmisión de esfuerzos al conductor sobre el que fija el conjunto, como consecuencia de la acción del viento sobre el bloque.For this and more specifically the device which is recommended is constituted from an optical block, materialized on a metal plate with a "Z" profile, destined to spin due to the wind along its imaginary medium vertical axis, and reduce the transmission of efforts to conductor on which fixes the set, as a result of the wind action on the block.

Dicha placa dispondrá de un tratamiento de coloreado, con una respuesta visual para las aves muy próxima a su zona de máximo rendimiento.This plate will have a treatment of colored, with a visual response for birds very close to their area of maximum performance.

La citada placa, y en correspondencia con la zona superior del imaginario eje de rotación, incorpora un orificio al que se conecta un bloque de giro, materializado en un elemento quitavueltas, cuya misión es la de permitir el libre giro de la placa sobre su eje vertical, sin que éste movimiento se transmita directamente a los elementos de fijación.The aforementioned plaque, and in correspondence with the upper area of the imaginary axis of rotation, incorporates a hole to which a turn block is connected, materialized in an element quitavueltas, whose mission is to allow the free rotation of the plate on its vertical axis, without this movement being transmitted directly to the fasteners.

Por último, el sistema de fijación se materializa en un elemento de conexión rápida y segura del bloque de giro al conductor del que queda suspendido.Finally, the fixing system is materializes in a fast and safe connection element of the block turning to the driver from which it is suspended.

A partir de esta estructuración, se consiguen una serie de ventajas, entre las que cabe destacar las siguientes:From this structuring, they are achieved a series of advantages, among which the following:

--: Su elevada durabilidad, por encima de los treinta años, lo que supone una reposición prácticamente nula a lo largo de la vida de las instalaciones para las cuales está destinado, dado que todos los materiales que intervienen en su construcción y una vez realizados los tratamientos químicos correspondientes, presentan unas propiedades de resistencia a la intemperie y de durabilidad, al menos igual a la de los conductores que constituyen la instalación en la que se ubican.its high durability, over thirty years, which means a virtually null replenishment throughout the life of the facilities for which it is intended, since all materials involved in its construction and once made the corresponding chemical treatments have some weathering and durability properties, when less equal to that of the conductors that constitute the installation in which they are located.

--: La facilidad en el montaje, ya que al tratarse de bloques independientes, pero relacionados entre sí, permite la colocación individual de los mismos en las distintas fases de montaje de las instalaciones para las cuales está destinado.The ease of assembly, since they are blocks independent, but related to each other, allows placement individual of them in the different phases of assembly of the facilities for which it is intended.

--: Su bajo costo en instalación inicial y su nulo mantenimiento.its Low cost in initial installation and zero maintenance.
