[0002] A communication tower is an infrastructure for supporting and erecting communication antennas and carrying communication equipment. Its main function is to transmit and receive signals, expand the signal coverage range, and ensure the normal operation of communication activities such as mobile phone calls, Internet access, and navigation. Its structure generally consists of a tower body, a platform, a lightning rod, a climbing ladder, an antenna support, etc. It can be divided into self-standing towers, self-supporting towers, etc. according to the structural form, and can be divided into ordinary ground towers, landscape towers, etc. according to the use and scenario. The construction of communication towers needs to follow strict specifications, and there are requirements in aspects such as site selection and foundation construction, and regular maintenance and inspection are required daily.

[0003] To ensure the smooth progress of the maintenance work of the communication tower, a climbing ladder is usually installed on the communication tower body. However, this external ladder directly fixed to the tower frame is exposed and lacks concealment. Its eye-catching appearance is extremely likely to attract children with strong curiosity, resulting in some naughty children trying to climb. Since the climbing ladder is not equipped with child protection measures, once a child slips during the climbing process, it is extremely likely to cause a high-altitude fall accident, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0008] To drive the support plate to extend or retract on the lifting plate, the power assembly includes: a driving gear, a power gear, and a first motor. The driving gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving screw. The power gear is rotatably connected to the top of the bottom plate. The power gear meshes with the driving gear. The first motor is installed at the bottom end of the bottom plate, and the output end of the first motor penetrates the bottom plate and is axially fixedly connected to the power gear.

[0009] To drive the support plate to extend or retract inside and outside the lifting plate, the moving mechanism includes: a rotating rod, a rotating wheel, and a transmission assembly. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to one side of the lifting plate. There are two rotating wheels. Both rotating wheels are fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The circumferential surfaces of both rotating wheels are in contact with the bottom end of the support plate. The transmission assembly is arranged on the rotating rod and is used to drive the support plate to move on the lifting plate.

[0010] To drive the moving plate to move, the transmission assembly includes: a toothed belt, a transmission gear, and a second motor. The toothed belt is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate. The transmission gear is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The transmission gear meshes with the toothed belt. The second motor is installed on the lifting plate, and the output end of the second motor is axially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.

[0011] To support the support plate during movement, the support mechanism includes: a support plate, a support shaft, and a support wheel.

[0013] To prevent the support plate from detaching from the lifting plate, a baffle is fixedly connected to one end of the support plate.

[0014] To facilitate the stability of maintenance personnel standing on the support plate when ascending, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure are: In the present disclosure, through the setting of the moving mechanism, the pallet can be moved outside the lifting plate, facilitating maintenance personnel to stand on the pallet. After use, the pallet moves in the reverse direction to hide the pallet. Through the setting of the lifting mechanism, the maintenance personnel standing on the pallet can be driven to climb up the communication tower. Through the setting of the supporting mechanism, the pallet during movement can be supported. Compared with the fixed ladder in the prior art and the lack of climbing protection for children, this application facilitates hiding the pallet to prevent children from climbing. And when the maintenance personnel need to climb the communication tower body, the maintenance personnel only need to stand on the pallet, and through the rising of the pallet, the maintenance personnel can climb the communication tower, without the need for the maintenance personnel to climb independently, which is relatively time-saving and labor-saving.

[0023] In addition, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] Such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, it shows a communication tower with a hidden climbing structure in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including a communication tower body 1, and further including: a lifting plate 2, a supporting plate 3 and a supporting mechanism. A fixing frame 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting plate 2, and a baffle 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the supporting plate 3. A sliding groove is formed on the lifting plate 2, and the supporting plate 3 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The lifting plate 2 is arranged on one side of the communication tower body 1 through a lifting mechanism, and is used to lift maintenance personnel along the communication tower body 1. The supporting plate 3 is arranged on the lifting plate 2 through a moving mechanism, and is used to hide and extend the supporting plate 3 out of the lifting plate 2. The supporting mechanism is arranged on one side of the lifting plate 2 and is used to support the supporting plate 3 during movement. Through the arrangement of the moving mechanism, the supporting plate 3 can be moved outside the lifting plate 2, facilitating maintenance personnel to stand on the supporting plate 3. After use, the supporting plate 3 moves in the reverse direction, thereby hiding the supporting plate 3. Through the arrangement of the lifting mechanism, the maintenance personnel standing on the supporting plate 3 can be driven to climb the communication tower. Through the arrangement of the supporting mechanism, the supporting plate 3 during movement can be supported. Compared with the fixed ladder in the prior art, the present application is convenient for hiding the supporting plate 3 to prevent children from climbing, and the maintenance personnel only need to stand on the supporting plate 3, and through the rising of the supporting plate 3, the maintenance personnel can climb the communication tower, without the need for the maintenance personnel to climb independently, which is relatively time-saving and labor-saving.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the lifting mechanism includes: a sliding rod 4, a sliding cylinder 5 and a driving component. The sliding rod 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the communication tower body 1. Sliding cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate 2. The sliding rod 4 is slidably connected in one of the sliding cylinders 5. The driving component is arranged on one side of the communication tower body 1 and is used to drive the lifting plate 2 to move up and down. The driving component includes: a bottom plate 6, a driving screw 7 and a power component. The bottom plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the communication tower body 1. The driving screw 7 is rotatably connected to the top end of the bottom plate 6. A threaded hole is formed in the other sliding cylinder 5, and the driving screw 7 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. The power component is arranged on the bottom plate 6 and can drive the driving screw 7 to rotate. The power component includes: a driving gear 8, a power gear 9 and a first motor 10. The driving gear 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the driving screw 7. The power gear 9 is rotatably connected to the top end of the bottom plate 6. The power gear 9 meshes with the driving gear 8. The first motor 10 is installed at the bottom end of the bottom plate 6. The output end of the first motor 10 penetrates through the bottom plate 6 and is axially fixedly connected to the power gear 9. By driving the driving gear 8 to rotate through the first motor 10, since the driving gear 8 and the power gear 9 mesh with each other, the power gear 9 is driven to rotate. When the power gear 9 rotates, the driving screw 7 is driven to rotate. When the driving screw 7 rotates, the sliding cylinder 5 is driven to rise. When the sliding cylinder 5 rises, the lifting plate 2 and the push plate are driven to rise, and further the maintenance personnel standing on the supporting plate 3 are driven to rise, so that the maintenance personnel can climb the communication tower body 1 relatively time-saving and labor-saving.

[0026] AsFigures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the moving mechanism includes a rotating rod 11, a rotating wheel 12 and a transmission assembly. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the lifting plate 2. There are two rotating wheels 12, and both rotating wheels 12 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The circumferential surfaces of the two rotating wheels 12 are in contact with the bottom end of the support plate 3. The transmission assembly is arranged on the rotating rod 11 and is used to drive the support plate 3 to move on the lifting plate 2. The transmission assembly includes a toothed belt 13, a transmission gear 14 and a second motor 15. The toothed belt 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support plate 3. The transmission gear 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The transmission gear 14 meshes with the toothed belt 13. The second motor 15 is installed on the lifting plate 2, and the output end of the second motor 15 is axially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 11. The second motor 15 installed on the lifting plate 2 drives the transmission gear 14 to rotate. Since the transmission gear 14 meshes with the toothed belt 13, when the transmission gear 14 rotates, it drives the toothed belt 13 and the support plate 3 to move in the chute opened on the lifting plate 2. Thus, during use, the support plate 3 can extend out of the lifting plate 2. After use, the second motor 15 rotates in the reverse direction, thereby driving the support plate 3 to retract, so as to hide the support plate 3, and thus effectively prevent children from climbing.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown in the figure, the support mechanism includes a support plate 16, a support shaft 17 and a support wheel 18. The support plate 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 2. There are multiple support shafts 17, and all the multiple support shafts 17 are rotatably connected to the top end of the support plate 16. Two support wheels 18 are rotatably connected to each support shaft 17. The circumferential surface of each support wheel 18 is in contact with the bottom end of the support plate 3. When the support plate 3 moves, the support wheels 18 rotatably connected to the support shaft 17 roll on the bottom end of the support plate 3, so as to support the support plate 3 to move in the chute.

[0028] Working principle: When maintenance personnel need to climb the communication tower body 1, the second motor 15 installed on the lifting plate 2 drives the transmission gear 14 to rotate. Since the transmission gear 14 meshes with the toothed belt 13, when the transmission gear 14 rotates, it drives the toothed belt 13 and the support plate 3 to move in the chute opened on the lifting plate 2. Thus, in use, the support plate 3 can extend out of the lifting plate 2. After the support plate 3 extends out, the maintenance personnel stand on the support plate 3 and hold the fixing frame 20 by hand. Then, the first motor 10 drives the driving gear 8 to rotate. Since the driving gear 8 meshes with the power gear 9, the power gear 9 is driven to rotate. When the power gear 9 rotates, it drives the driving screw 7 to rotate. When the driving screw 7 rotates, it drives the sliding cylinder 5 to rise. When the sliding cylinder 5 rises, it drives the lifting plate 2 and the push plate to rise, thereby driving the maintenance personnel standing on the support plate 3 to rise, so that the maintenance personnel can climb the communication tower body 1 more time - saving and labor - saving. After the maintenance personnel finish the operation, the first motor 10 drives the driving gear 8 to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby driving the power gear 9 and the driving screw 7 to rotate in the reverse direction, so as to drive the lifting plate 2 and the support plate 3 to descend. Then, the second motor 15 installed on the lifting plate 2 drives the transmission gear 14 to rotate in the reverse direction. Since the transmission gear 14 meshes with the toothed belt 13, when the transmission gear 14 rotates, it drives the toothed belt 13 and the support plate 3 to move in the reverse direction in the chute opened on the lifting plate 2, so that the support plate 3 retracts and hides the support plate 3, thus effectively preventing children from climbing and effectively preventing children from falling from a height, reducing the safety hazard.

[0029] In addition, it should be added that when the maintenance personnel stand on the support plate 3 and the support plate 3 rises, the maintenance personnel need to wear a safety belt, tie one end of the safety belt to the fixing frame 20, and during the rising process of the support plate 3, the maintenance personnel need to hold the fixing frame 20 with their hands to ensure the stability of the maintenance personnel's body, so as to prevent the maintenance personnel from standing unsteadily.

[0030] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure and not to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
