Description

Object of the invention

ENTRADA ENTRY

La presente invención tiene como objetivo fundamental evitar que las aves, especialmente aquellas especies que se encuentra en peligro de extinción, choquen contra los cables del tendido eléctrico y sufran lesiones, mutilaciones e incluso la muerte. El dispositivo actúa como baliza para la señalización de cables, destacando la situación del mismo y advirtiendo a las aves, que transitan en las cercanías, de su presencia. The main purpose of the present invention is to prevent birds, especially those species in danger of extinction, from hitting the power lines and suffering injuries, mutilations and even death. The device acts as a beacon for signaling cables, highlighting the situation of the same and warning the birds, who transit in the vicinity, of their presence.

Antecedentes de la invención BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el campo de las balizas para ahuyentar aves de los cables eléctricos existen diversas invenciones, las más comunes serían las siguientes: 1.-El más utilizado consiste en una varilla de PVC enrollada helicoidalmente al conductor, siendo visible su parte central. 2.-Otros dispositivos de señalización son en forma de bola que por su tamaño y colorido advierten del cable eléctrico. 3.-Existen también otros dispositivos, que consisten en elementos colgantes de plástico mediante cadena o similar, que emiten destellos lumínicos por medio de láminas reflectantes y que tienen el problema de que con el viento pueden enrollarse en el cable perdiendo efectividad. 4.-Por último, existen dispositivos de una sola pieza, para evitar el problema anterior, pero construidos en goma o caucho, por lo que el deterioro por los agentes atmosféricos es mayor en esta clase de dispositivos, reduciendo su durabilidad, además de perder movilidad. In the field of beacons to scare birds from electric cables, there are several inventions, the most common being the following: 1. The most commonly used is a PVC rod wound helically to the driver, its central part being visible. 2.-Other signaling devices are ball-shaped, which due to their size and color warn of the electric cable. 3.-There are also other devices, which consist of plastic hanging elements by chain or similar, that emit light flashes by means of reflective sheets and that have the problem that with the wind they can wind up in the cable losing effectiveness. 4.-Finally, there are devices in one piece, to avoid the previous problem, but built in rubber or rubber, so that the deterioration by atmospheric agents is greater in this class of devices, reducing their durability, besides losing mobility.

El dispositivo objeto de la invención utiliza un material duradero, acero inoxidable preferentemente, y energías renovables, eólica y fotovoltaica, para poder ahuyentar a las aves, mediante destellos lumínicos producidos por el movimiento rotatorio de diferentes aspas verticales que colocadas en el extremo de una base circular hacen girar a ésta, por la acción del viento, sobre un eje central y que se refuerza con dos diodos emisores de luz, LED, que producen destellos durante la noche o en días con poca luminosidad, especialmente en los días de niebla, consiguiendo un dispositivo eficaz en su función y duradero en el tiempo. The device object of the invention uses a durable material, preferably stainless steel, and renewable energies, wind and photovoltaic, to be able to scare away the birds, by means of light flashes produced by the rotating movement of different vertical vanes that placed at the end of a base circular they turn this one, by the action of the wind, on a central axis and that is reinforced with two light emitting diodes, LED, that produce flashes during the night or in days with little luminosity, especially in the foggy days, obtaining an effective device in its function and lasting in time.

Por lo tanto, el dispositivo objeto de la invención es novedoso respecto de los dispositivos existentes, por lo expuesto anteriormente. Se describe en profundidad en el resto del documento. Therefore, the device object of the invention is novel with respect to existing devices, because of the foregoing. It is described in depth in the rest of the document.

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 que gira sobre un eje central por la acción del viento al incidir sobre unas aspas ancladas a la base. Se completa además con la instalación de 2 diodos emisores de luz (LED) alimentados por energía solar. The invention consists of a device intended to be suspended in the cables of the electrical wiring, composed of a circular base that rotates on a central axis by the action of the wind when striking on some blades anchored to the base. It is also completed with the installation of 2 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) powered by solar energy.

Concretamente consiste en un disco circular, preferentemente de acero inoxidable en acabado espejo, montado sobre un eje central mediante un soporte con dos cojinetes blindados de acero. En la parte inferior externa se acoplan unas láminas metálicas, fabricadas también preferentemente en acero inoxidable, que actúan de aspas, de tal forma que la más leve brisa hace girar el sistema sobre su eje central. En la parte superior se instalaran las dos placas solares que alimentan a los respectivos LED y que proyectan su luz hacia la parte inferior, en el interior de las aspas. Por último, el dispositivo queda suspendido en el cable mediante una rueda que permite desplazarlo desde tierra, utilizando un hilo, hasta el punto exacto de fijación, donde quedará anclado al 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. El sistema de anclaje al cable está formado por dos piezas unidas mediante un eje, lo que permite que el dispositivo se mantenga perpendicular al suelo independiente de la inclinación del cable eléctrico. Specifically, it consists of a circular disk, preferably of mirror-finished stainless steel, mounted on a central axis by means of a support with two steel armored bearings. In the external lower part metal sheets are fitted, also preferably made of stainless steel, which act as blades, in such a way that the slightest breeze rotates the system on its central axis. In the upper part, the two solar panels that feed the respective LEDs will be installed and project their light towards the lower part, inside the blades. Finally, the device is suspended in the cable by means of a wheel that allows it to be moved from the ground, using a wire, to the exact point of fixation, where it will be anchored to the electric cable by pressure. With this we avoid the complex assembly that use other types of beacons and unnecessary risks for the operator that installs them, since they do not have to operate on the power lines. The anchor system to the cable is formed by two pieces joined by an axis, which allows the device to remain perpendicular to the ground independent of the inclination of the electric cable.

Tanto el movimiento giratorio como los destellos lumínicos producidos por las aspas o por los diodos son suficientes 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 produced by the blades or diodes are enough to scare away the birds, able to notice early enough to vary the course of flight. Even on days when there is no wind, the blades themselves generate flashes and sounds that can alert the birds.

Al utilizar materiales de larga duración y energías renovables, solar para alimentar los diodos y eólica, para que puedan giran las aspas produciendo destellos lumínicos, el dispositivo no requiere mantenimiento. When using long-lasting materials and renewable energies, solar to power the diodes and wind, so that the blades can rotate producing light flashes, the device does not require maintenance.

Opcionalmente, el dispositivo se puede fabricar en plástico de larga duración, cubriendo las aspas con láminas reflectantes de colores. Optionally, the device can be manufactured in long-lasting plastic, covering the blades with reflective colored sheets.
