  An example of the striking device 2 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the striking device 2 is housed in a metal striking case 41 attached to a steel tower with a mounting bracket and the striking case 41, and strikes the steel tower via the striking case 41. A hammer 42 and a lifting device 43 that lifts and lowers the hammer 42 are provided. The striking case 41 has a watertight structure by providing a lid 46 on the box-shaped case body 45 with packing 44 so as to be freely opened and closed. In FIG. 4, a box-shaped metal plate 47 that is in close contact with the bottom surface of the case main body 45 and opened upward is attached, and one side surface of the metal plate 47 is defined as a striking surface h. The striking case 41 has sufficient mechanical strength so that it can be attached to the steel tower member without drilling.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c), the hammer 42 has an arm portion 51 that is rotatably provided in the striking case 41 by an arm fulcrum 52 and a stopper 53, and is struck by a spring 54. The hammer surface 55 is urged so as to strike the striking surface h of the case 41.

The cam 56 which cancels | releases engagement and the motor 5 which rotates the cam 56 are provided.

  When the cam 56 is rotated by the motor 5, the striking device 2 sequentially repeats the operation start state of FIG. 5 (a), the hammer release state of FIG. 5 (b), and the hammer striking state of FIG. 5 (c). The hammer portion 55 repeatedly strikes the striking surface h of the striking case 41 for a predetermined time.

Next, a bird flight prevention system using the bird flight prevention apparatus 1 will be described.

  First, the telephone number of the mobile phone 4 is notified in advance to the residents around the steel tower 22. In addition, a time zone in which the impact device 2 is activated is set in the timer 8. In the microcomputer 14, an operation interval / operation time for operating the impact device 2 and an impact rhythm / impact pattern of the impact device 2 are set. The mobile phone 4 receives radio waves, but is set not to be connected to a call so that a call charge is not generated on the caller side.

  When a bird b such as a starling or a crow flies to the tower 22 and a local resident who has noticed calls the mobile phone 4, the incoming sensor 6 detects the incoming call of the mobile phone 4, and the activation signal detector 13 receives the incoming call. The incoming detection of the sensor 6 is detected as an activation signal and output to the microcomputer 14.

  When the activation signal is input from the activation signal detection unit 13 within the time zone set by the timer 8, the microcomputer 14 outputs a control signal to the motor driving unit 15 to activate the impact device 2. At this time, the microcomputer 14 controls the striking device 2 based on the set motion interval / motion time and the striking rhythm / striking pattern. When the activation signal is input from the activation signal detector 13 outside the time period set by the timer 8, the microcomputer 14 does not output the control signal and does not activate the impact device 2.

  Based on this control signal, the motor drive unit 15 drives the motor 5 so that the hammer 42 of the striking device 2 repeatedly strikes the steel tower 22 through the striking case 41 for a certain time (for example, about 10 seconds).

  In this way, the bird flying prevention apparatus 1 activates the striking device 2 with the incoming call of the mobile phone 4 and indirectly strikes the steel tower 22 with the striking device 2, so that the steel tower is caused by the impact sound and vibration transmitted to the steel tower 22. Birds b flying to 22 can be easily and automatically removed in a short time. It is also possible to reduce the number of flights to the steel tower 22 by alerting the birds b.

  Since the hitting device 2 hits the tower 22 indirectly via the hitting case 41, damage to the tower 22 can be prevented. As the striking device 2, a device that directly strikes the steel tower 22 may be used.

  By providing the striking device 2 at the upper part of the steel tower 22, it is possible to reliably drive off the birds b having the habit of flying and staying at the upper part of the steel tower 22. Furthermore, by providing the activation control device 3 at the lower part of the steel tower, the workability of installation and the maintenance workability are improved.

  As a mobile terminal device, a PHS may be used instead of the mobile phone 4. If the activation control device 3 is provided in the lower part of the steel tower, the radio wave can be reliably received even in a PHS where the radio wave receivable area is limited to the vicinity of the ground.

  Since the activation control device 3 includes the timer 8 that sets the time zone in which the batting device 2 is activated, the activation device 3 can be activated only during the time zone set by the timer 8. For example, the activation device 2 can be activated not only in the evening hours of the season when starlings fly, but also in the morning and noon times. Further, even if the mobile phone 4 is received outside the time zone set by the timer 8 such as at night, the hitting device 2 can be prevented from being activated.

  Since power is supplied to the mobile phone 4, the control unit 7, and the striking device 2 by using the solar panel 10 and the charging battery 11 in combination, birds come in even under conditions of insufficient sunlight such as cloudy weather or rain. The prevention device 1 can be operated for a predetermined period.

  In order not to get used to the birds b, microcomputer software may be incorporated in the microcomputer 14 and the speed and rhythm of the keystroke (the number of times the hammer 42 strikes the steel tower 22 in a certain time) may be appropriately changed.

  Moreover, when the lifting equipment for an operator to go up and down is already installed in the steel tower 22, the striking device 2 is attached to this lifting equipment, and when the striking device 2 is started, the lifting equipment is automatically lifted and lowered. Also good.

  In the embodiment described above, an example in which one striking device 2 is activated by one start control device 3 has been described. However, a plurality of striking devices 2 are provided in one tower 22, and one start control device 3 is provided. A plurality of striking devices 2 may be activated simultaneously. In this case, the birds b can be driven off more effectively.

  Although an example in which a current sensor is used as the incoming sensor 6 has been described, when the mobile phone 4 set in the manner mode is used, a vibration sensor that detects the vibration of the incoming mobile phone 4 may be used as the incoming sensor 6. .

  When using an antenna provided with an LED that emits light upon detecting an incoming call of the mobile phone 4, an optical sensor that detects the light of the LED of the antenna may be used as the incoming call sensor 6.

  Instead of the timer 8, an external light sensor that detects external light and a day / night detection unit that detects day / night brightness by light detection of the external light sensor are used to determine a time zone in which the impact device 2 is activated. May be. The day / night detection unit is provided in the control unit 7 and is connected between the external light sensor and the microcomputer 14.
