In addition, when the flying device 120 determines that there are no birds in the bird's nest, the transmitting unit 74 can transmit an inquiry signal to the electronic device 80, wherein the inquiry signal is a signal for asking the user whether to clear the bird's nest. When the electronic device 80 sends back a clearing signal to the flying device 120 after receiving the inquiry signal (ie, the user agrees to clear the bird's nest), the flying device 120 can remove the bird's nest through the clearing unit 76 provided by the flying device 120 . In other words, the flying device 120 may further include a clearing unit 76. When the flying device 120 receives the clearing signal, the flying device 120 can fly close to the bird's nest and dismantle the bird's nest by the clearing unit 76, wherein the clearing unit 76 can The bird's nest is removed by means of compressed air injection, but this embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention, and can be adjusted according to actual needs.

In this embodiment, the flying device 120 may further include a spraying unit 78. When the radio device 110 determines that the current distance is less than the first preset distance and lasts for a second preset time (for example, three minutes), the radio device 110 can transmit The signal is sprayed to the flying device 120 to make the flying device 120 fly around the air conditioner, and the bird repellent is sprayed around the air conditioner through the spray unit 78 to compensate for the special smell emitted by the scent device 140 due to its limited location. There is a deficiency that has not been spread around the entire air conditioner. Wherein, the above-mentioned first preset time can be the same as the above-mentioned second preset time, or it can be different from the above-mentioned second preset time, and can be adjusted according to actual needs (due to flying around the air conditioner for shooting and The two steps of flying around the air conditioner to spray bird repellent do not conflict with each other).

To sum up, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the current position of the bird that emits the sound signal and the current position between the bird that emits the sound signal and the air-conditioner are continuously obtained by the radio device according to the sound signal it receives. distance; when the radio device judges that the current distance is greater than the first preset distance and less than the second preset distance, make the flying device go to drive the birds according to the current orientation; when the radio device judges that the current distance is greater than or equal to the second preset distance and less than the second preset distance; When three preset distances are used, the light-emitting device emits light according to the current position to repel birds; and when the radio device determines that the current distance is less than or equal to the first preset distance, the odor device emits a special smell to repel birds, using this technology The method can actively and effectively drive away birds, reduce the noise problem caused by bird calls, and avoid the problems of operation and epidemic prevention caused by birds nesting on the air conditioner.
