[0002] The arrival of birds such as pigeon crows causes serious accidents such as bird strikes at airfields that can be fatal. In addition, feces caused by these birds have become a serious problem in various plant facilities, garbage disposal plants, fishing facilities, orchards, feed factories, and poultry 'pig' fish farms. In recent years, avian influenza virus has been rampant around the world and has seriously affected the poultry industry, meat industry, etc., and pigeon crow is said to be a transmission medium. There is an urgent need to develop a device that will prevent the flying wings from flying.

[0003] By the way, birds once nesting in a building, especially pigeons nesting on nests, return even if they are unusually strong, and cannot return to a fundamental solution. . On the other hand, in general, the relationship between birds and natural enemies is clearly established. For example, pigeons and crows are said to be predatory birds such as hawks, eagle and falcons. If a pigeon or the like confirms the existence of these natural enemies, it will escape immediately, and by repeating this, it will not approach the same place.

[0004] Therefore, the present applicant has already disclosed a bird flying prevention device utilizing the relationship of the natural enemy of birds such as the pigeon crow described above (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). In other words, these inventions allow a simulated bird of prey (rotary model) to rotate and fly indoors or outdoors, or mount the simulated bird on a trolley rail and a self-propelled device to rotate and fly on a fixed traveling path. The content is to make a patrol while traveling.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a bird flight prevention device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a multi-stage telescopic pole, 2 is a vehicle on which a pole 1 is mounted, and 3 is an upper end of the pole 1. This is a simulated bird attached to the island. In the case of this embodiment, the simulated bird 3 is attached to the tip of a balancing rod 5 rotated by a motor 4 provided at the tip of the pole 1, and the other end of the balancing rod 5 has a predetermined weight. With balancer 6 installed.

[0021] In addition, the vehicle 2 is a force applicable to a truck, a light van, or the like. However, the strut pole 1 can also be fixed to a truck bed or a light van roof carrier. However, if the poles 1 do not accidentally come off during the operation of the vehicle 2 or the rotating flight of the simulated bird 1, the poles 1 should not be removed. Absent.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the support pole 1 has a multistage telescopic structure in which a plurality of different-diameter pipes are joined together so that the inner pipe can be accommodated in the outer pipe. Air pump 7 Power It expands and contracts when supplied with air pressure. The pole 1 is watertightly covered with a bellows-shaped waterproof boot 8 to prevent the seam force of the pipes of different diameters from being flooded. The air pump 7 can be configured by a manual pump in addition to the compressor. It is also preferable that the motor 4 be waterproofed by the waterproof boot 8 at the same time.

The waterproof boot 8 has a built-in spring 8a, and the elasticity is ensured by the bellows structure and the spring 8a. Further, the waterproof boot 8 is provided with electric wires 9 such as a power supply line to the motor 4 and a control signal line. The peripheral configuration can be spiral, so that the elasticity of the waterproof boot 8 is not lost. In addition, if the power supply source for the motor 4 is obtained from the battery (battery) of the vehicle 2, no electric work is required. However, in this case, it is preferable to keep the engine of the vehicle running in order to prevent the battery from running out. It should be noted that the power supply source is not limited to the above-mentioned vehicle battery, and may be any power source such as a dedicated power source or a solar cell. Further, the power supply mode can be implemented without depending on the DC 'exchange.

[0024] The motor 4 and the air pump 7 are mounted on a mounting pole of a pole 1 provided on the roof of the vehicle 2. 9a (for example, a roof carrier) is operated by a control panel 9b installed. The control panel 9b can be installed in the room of the vehicle 2.

[0025] The simulated bird 3 imitates the characteristics of birds of prey such as hawks, eagle, and falcons, which are considered to be natural enemies of pigeons and crows (hereinafter, simply referred to as "birds"). It has wings and a sharp beak. However, stuffed birds of prey can be used instead of the simulated bird3. Furthermore, a configuration example for further enhancing the birds' flying prevention action will be described. A light emitting device such as a red light emitting diode or a light bulb is attached to a portion corresponding to the eye of the simulated bird 3 and the bird is blinked or lit to light up. Can increase the threatening effect. It is also possible to incorporate an ultrasonic generator that exceeds the audible range. Furthermore, by incorporating a sound generator that emits the sound of a bird of prey in the simulated bird 3, the effect of preventing birds from flying can be enhanced. Each of these configuration examples has the effect of visually, sensually, and audibly threatening birds, and by adopting all of them at the same time, it is expected that the effect of preventing birds from flying will be maximized. However, it is not always necessary to employ all of them, and the combination can be freely determined according to the use environment of the present invention.

According to the bird flight prevention device having such a configuration, the height of the support pole 1 is adjusted so that the simulated bird 3 can be visually recognized from birds such as birds and birds. By driving the simulated bird 3 to rotate, the threatening effect on birds can be enhanced. More specifically, in the non-disclosed experiment before filing the application by the present applicant, in the apparatus having the above configuration, the support pole 1 was extended to 3 to 4 m, and the flight diameter of the simulated bird 3 was 5 to 6 m. With the pole 1 as the center, birds could be prevented from flying in a circular area of about 1500 to 2000 square meters.

It is assumed that the distance from the upper end of the pole 1 to the simulated bird 3 in the balancing rod 5 is longer than the distance to the balancer 6. With this setting, the fishing rod 5 is normally inclined so that the simulated bird 3 is lowered. By operating the variable motor 4, the simulated bird 3 turns around the upper end of the pole 1 via the balance bar 5. If the rotation speed of the variable motor 4 is constant, the turning altitude of the simulated bird 3 is kept constant by the balance with the balancer 6. On the other hand, when the rotation speed of the variable motor 4 is changed, the centrifugal force acting on the simulated bird 3 increases and decreases, and the turning altitude of the simulated bird 3 also increases and decreases. If this principle is used, the rotation of the variable motor 4 By changing the number, it is possible to realize a flight mode that passes through an arbitrary point in a hemisphere whose radius is the distance to the support pole 1 upper end force simulated bird 3. Therefore, the flight mode of the simulated bird 3 can be made to resemble the flight mode of a real bird of prey, and it is possible to prevent the simulated bird 3 from getting used to the birds by the same flight mode. In order to increase the threat to birds, it is, of course, preferable to raise the position of the simulated bird 3 so as to make it easier for birds to see.

In this embodiment, since the pole 1 is mounted on a movable vehicle 2 instead of a stationary type in which the pole 1 is fixed at one place, the installation location of the device can be changed at any time, and an accurate bird flying prevention effect can be obtained. It is highly adaptable and more economical than installing many stationary types.

[0029] However, the use of the pole 1 that is not mounted on the vehicle 2 as a stationary type that is installed at a specific location is also included in the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Further, the above-described device can be circulated on a predetermined traveling path. That is, the configuration of the patrol system means that a normal running loop is first constructed by laying an electromagnetic induction wire in a desired shape on the ground, and the normal running loop is supplied with fuel and charged. A maintenance line is provided for the maintenance, etc., and the maintenance line is provided with at least a charger. On the other hand, the vehicle 2 on which the pole 1 is mounted is provided with a self-propelled device that electrically detects the electromagnetic induction wire and travels on the electromagnetic induction wire. Further, the vehicle 2 is provided with a battery corresponding to the above charger, and the battery is used as a driving power source for traveling. Then, the running time or the amount of stored power is constantly detected, and if it is detected that the running time is equal to or more than a certain amount or the amount of charged amount is equal to or less than a certain amount, the process shifts to a normal running loop force maintenance line, and the charger and the storage device are connected. Charging is performed by connecting.
