Description
Technical Field

[0002] Grid wind load is one of the important factors affecting the stability of transmission towers. Through tests, the structural response of transmission towers under different wind speeds can be evaluated to ensure their safety under extreme weather conditions. Wind load tests can verify the rationality of transmission tower design, covering aspects such as tower shape, material selection, cross-sectional dimensions and connection methods, to ensure that the design meets industry standards and specifications. Using test data, the design of transmission towers can be optimized to improve their wind resistance, reduce material usage, reduce costs, and improve structural efficiency.
[0003] In reality, wind loads are not evenly distributed, but change with increasing height. By applying different loads along the height direction for multi-point loading, this trend of change can be better simulated, making the loading results closer to the actual effect of wind loads on transmission towers. When a large number of loading points are required, the current counterweight method has problems such as nonlinear load application, difficulty in real-time calculation of the total load, and the need for a large amount of manpower, while single actuator loading faces the problem of excessively high test costs. In addition, for transmission tower structures with low stiffness, such as portal towers, due to their low stiffness and large loading deformation, there is a problem of changes in the stress state caused by the offset of the loading point.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0032] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments, either individually or selectively.
[0033] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.
[0034] Example 1, reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a transmission tower equivalent wind load test device, including: the load distribution beam 101 is the basic structure of the entire load distribution system
[0035] A trapezoidal plate 102a is provided at the upper end of the load distribution beam 101. The trapezoidal plate 102a is an isosceles trapezoid that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. A slider 102b is matched with the trapezoidal plate 102a. The slider 102b is slidably connected to the outside of the trapezoidal plate 102a. The stepper motor 102c is used to accurately control the rotation of the screw rod 102d, and the screw rod 102d is used to drive the slider 102b to move. Through the precise control of the stepper motor 102c, the position of the slider 102b can be accurately adjusted, thereby accurately controlling the load distribution.
[0036] Furthermore, the load distribution point 103 is a fixed point of the traction cable 103b, which is set at both sides of the slider 102b and the lower end of the load distribution beam 101. Through multi-level distribution, multiple wind load distribution units 100 are set. By applying different loads on the load distribution point 103, the distribution of wind loads at different heights of the tower can be simulated. This helps to study how wind loads affect the overall stability and local stress distribution of the tower.
[0037] Furthermore, the transmission tower 201 is a transmission pole tower model for loading. The base 202 of the equivalent wind load loading unit 200 is fixed relative to the transmission pole tower to play a role of stable support. A pulley 202c is installed on the rotating seat 202b at the tail of the base 202. The distributed load is applied to the pole tower model through the traction rope 103b. The large rigid beam 203a and the large rigidity jack 203b together constitute the loading system of the large rigidity pole tower model, which is used to load the large rigidity transmission pole tower model. The small rigid beam 204a and the small rigidity loading jack 204c together constitute the loading system of the small rigidity pole tower model, which plays a loading role for the small rigidity transmission pole tower model. The large and small rigidity loading pulley groups 204 are connected by connecting rods 204b to ensure that they can work together under loading conditions of different rigidities.
[0038] Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the large rigidity jack 203b, the inclination of the large rigidity beam 203a can be changed to meet different loading requirements, and the large rigidity loading pulley block 203 is connected to the small rigidity loading pulley block 204 through the connecting rod 204b. By adjusting the inclination of the small rigidity loading jack 204c, different loading requirements can also be met.
[0039] Pulley 1 202c is installed on the rotating seat 202b, and pulley 2 204d is evenly distributed between the large steel beam 203a and the small steel beam 204a. Pulley 1 202c and pulley 2 204d are used to change the path of the traction cable 103b to ensure that the traction cable 103b can correctly transfer the load from the load distribution point 103 to the transmission tower 201.
[0040] The device uses the lever principle and the basic principle of the hinge-parallelogram system to convert wind load into concentrated force load. The total wind load is distributed into gradient wind load through the wind load distribution device. When considering the large deformation of low-rigidity transmission towers, two sets of pulleys are used to achieve the combination of different load conditions, which can efficiently test the wind load mechanical response of different types of transmission tower structures.
[0041] Example 2, reference Figure 5 - Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it includes a wind load distribution unit 100, and the wind load distribution unit 100 is based on the principle of lever. The principle of lever refers to the phenomenon that a rigid rod rotates around a fixed point (fulcrum) under the action of force. In the wind load distribution device, the principle of lever is used to achieve uniform distribution of wind load.
[0042] Furthermore, the load distribution changes the component forces (F1 and F2) applied to the transmission tower by adjusting the distance between the two lever arms (L1 and L2). This adjustment is achieved by the stepping motor 102c variable amplitude mechanism, which can rotate a specific angle according to a pre-calculated value, thereby driving the total load application slider 102b to perform relative movement.
[0043] The stepper motor 102c is fixed on the load distribution beam 101, and by rotating a specific angle, the screw rod 102d drives the total load application slider 102b to move relative to the load distribution point 103, so that the position of the total load application slider 102b relative to the load distribution point 103 will change, thereby achieving the distribution of wind load.
[0044] Furthermore, through a multi-stage series connection, multi-stage distribution of the total load can be achieved. Multiple wind load distribution units 100 are connected in series, and each unit has its own total load application slider 102b and sub-load distribution point 103. The two-component load distribution point 103 of the first level is connected to the slider 102b of the second level through a traction rope 103b. Each wind load distribution unit 100 can independently adjust the position of the total load application slider 102b through the stepping motor 102c amplitude adjustment mechanism, which means that each unit can apply sub-loads of different sizes as needed.
[0045] The stepper motor 102c can rotate a specific angle according to a pre-calculated value, and accurately drive the total load application slider 102b to move to a desired position through the screw rod 102d, thereby ensuring that the load on each load distribution point 103 is accurate and controllable.
[0046] Since wind load usually increases with the height of the transmission tower, the load is transferred to the total load application slider 102b of the next unit through the load distribution point 103 of each unit, and this reciprocation can simulate this gradient change. Each unit can simulate wind loads at different heights, thereby achieving uniform distribution of wind loads over the entire tower height.
[0047] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.
[0048] Example 3, reference Figure 7 - Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and which is different from the second embodiment in that it includes an equivalent wind load loading unit 200, the principle of which is based on a hinge-parallelogram system. In order to meet the loading conditions approximating the natural wind load, such as Figure 7 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a component with greater rigidity under wind load. It can be seen that the greater the rigidity of the transmission tower, the smaller the angular displacement. In this case, it is only necessary to adjust the large rigidity jack 203b so that the large rigidity loading pulley block 203 produces an angular displacement similar to that of the transmission tower, so as to meet the requirement that the wind load is always perpendicular to the axis direction of the transmission tower.
[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, when the stiffness of the transmission tower is small, the lateral displacement is large, and it is difficult to approach the angular displacement of the transmission tower by only relying on the large stiffness loading pulley block 203, resulting in a change in the position of the loading force. At this time, it is necessary to rely on the small stiffness loading pulley block 204 to balance the angular displacement. Through this design of the equivalent wind load loading device, effective wind load loading can be performed on transmission towers with different stiffness, providing a reliable test method for studying the wind resistance performance of the transmission tower 201.
[0050] Furthermore, the transmission tower 201 is a transmission pole tower model for loading. The base 202 of the equivalent wind load loading device is fixed relative to the transmission pole tower to play a role of stable support. A steering pulley is installed at the tail of the base 202, and the distributed load is applied to the pole tower model through the traction rope 103b. The large-rigidity loading pulley block 203 and the large-rigidity jack 203b together constitute the loading system of the large-rigidity pole tower model, which is used to load the large-rigidity transmission pole tower model. The small-rigidity loading pulley block 204 and the small-rigidity loading jack 204c together constitute the loading system of the small-rigidity pole tower model, which plays a loading role for the small-rigidity transmission pole tower model. The large and small-rigidity loading pulley blocks 204 are connected by a connecting rod 204b to ensure that they can work together under loading conditions of different stiffness.
[0051] The base 202 is directly connected to the steering pulley high-rigidity loading pulley block 203 and the high-rigidity jack 203b. By adjusting the length of the high-rigidity jack 203b, the inclination of the high-rigidity loading pulley block 20310 can be changed to meet different loading requirements. For details, please refer to Figure 7 .
[0052] The large rigidity loading pulley block 203 and the large rigidity jack 203b are connected with the small rigidity loading pulley block 204 and the small rigidity loading jack 204c through the connecting rod 204b. By adjusting the inclination degree of the small rigidity loading jack 204c, different loading needs can also be achieved.
[0053] The device uses the lever principle and the basic principle of the hinge-parallelogram system to convert wind load into concentrated force load. The total wind load is distributed into gradient wind load through the wind load distribution device. When considering the large deformation of low-rigidity transmission towers, two sets of pulleys are used to achieve the combination of different load conditions, which can effectively test the wind load mechanical response of different types of transmission tower structures.
[0054] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.
[0055] Example 4, reference Figure 1 - Figure 8 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that: a transmission tower equivalent wind load test method is provided, comprising:
[0056] Stabilize the base 202 and install the pulley block and jack, and connect the traction rope 103b to the wind load distribution device and the transmission tower model;
[0057] By changing the distance between L1 and L2 through the stepping motor 102c amplitude changing mechanism, the load distribution can be realized, and the multi-stage series connection method can realize the multi-stage distribution of the total load;
[0058] The pulley block and jack are adjusted according to the stiffness of the tower model to adapt to different loading requirements, and effective wind load loading is performed on transmission towers with different stiffness.
