Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to structural monitoring technology, specifically a temperature monitoring device for tall towers. Background Technology

[0002] When a building is tall, the cumulative effect during construction results in a large difference in deformation between vertical components caused by temperature. In this case, the temperature effect of the structure must be considered. In the design and operation of tall towers, considering the temperature effect is crucial for the safety and stability of the tower structure.

[0003] Currently, there are no good temperature monitoring devices for tall buildings such as towers in China. This makes it impossible to monitor the temperature in real time and detect structural temperature anomalies in a timely manner, and to maintain the structural temperature within a safe range by adjusting cooling equipment and ventilation systems. Consequently, it is impossible to monitor the health status of tall buildings in real time. Utility Model Content

The external measuring component includes an external contact temperature sensor, an internal contact temperature sensor, a wind speed sensor, and a non-contact temperature sensor. Both the external and internal contact temperature sensors are provided in two sets, each set including two temperature sensors. Each set of external contact temperature sensors is installed on the outer wall of the tall tower in a horizontally relative position, and each set of internal contact temperature sensors is installed on the inner wall of the tall tower in a horizontally relative position.

The two sets of internal contact temperature sensors are also installed at different heights on the tall tower, with a horizontal angle of 90° between them. A mounting frame is installed on the tall tower, and the non-contact temperature sensor and the wind speed sensor are mounted on the mounting frame.

[0007] As a further aspect of this utility model: the sampling frequency of the external contact temperature sensor, the internal contact temperature sensor, the non-contact temperature sensor, and the wind speed sensor is all 15-30Hz.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: eight sets of crossbeams are installed inside the tower from top to bottom, and each set of crossbeams is in rigid contact with the inner wall of the tower.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a temperature monitoring device for a tall tower includes a tall tower 1 and an external measuring component. The external measuring component includes an external contact temperature sensor 2, an internal contact temperature sensor 3, a wind speed sensor 7, and a non-contact temperature sensor 8. Both the external contact temperature sensor 2 and the internal contact temperature sensor 3 are provided in two sets, each set including two temperature sensors. Each set of external contact temperature sensors 2 is installed on the outer wall of the tall tower 1 in a horizontally relative position, and each set of internal contact temperature sensors 3 is installed on the inner wall of the tall tower 1 in a horizontally relative position. The two sets of external contact temperature sensors 2... Two sets of external contact temperature sensors 2 are installed at different heights on the tower 1, with a horizontal angle of 90° between them. Two sets of internal contact temperature sensors 3 are also installed at different heights on the tower 1, with a horizontal angle of 90° between them. A fixed frame 6 is installed on the tower 1, and a non-contact temperature sensor 8 and a wind speed sensor 7 are installed on the fixed frame 6. After the tower 1 is exposed to sunlight, there is a certain temperature difference between the irradiated area and the non-irradiated area. In order to make the input data more accurate, each set of external contact temperature sensors 2 is set horizontally opposite to each other on the outer wall of the tower 1.

[0023] The tower is 30m high. Inside the tower 1, there are eight sets of crossbeams 4 installed from top to bottom. Each set of crossbeams 4 is in rigid contact with the inner wall of the tower 1. The crossbeams 4 and the tower 1 are constrained by the nearest node having the same temperature. In order to calibrate the stress data, two strain gauges 5 are arranged in each set of crossbeams 4. The data of strain gauges 5 are compared with the structural field in the cloud simulation system to correct the stress field data of the cloud simulation system.

[0024] Please see Figure 4-5 The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the external measuring component transmits the real-time temperature data of the inner and outer walls of the tower 1, as well as the air temperature and wind speed data, to the existing cloud simulation system. The cloud simulation system generates temperature distribution cloud maps and stress distribution cloud maps, and then the back-end personnel view the data and deal with the danger as soon as possible.

[0025] In this embodiment, the external measurement component is connected to the existing cloud simulation system. The cloud simulation system is based on the finite element method, and the finite element model is processed from the actual model. The finite element model remains unchanged for each calculation. The boundary conditions of the temperature field simulation system use temperature sensor data collection, and the temperature boundary is converted into the second type of boundary conditions in the temperature field. In this embodiment, based on the influence of wind load on the temperature field distribution of the tall tower 1 and the relationship between floor height and wind speed, the wind speed is calculated. The wind load is equivalent to the second type of boundary condition, and the wind speed sensor 7 is arranged at a height of 3-5m.

[0026] In the cloud simulation system, the structural field coupling analysis uses the temperature load from the aforementioned embodiment. Considering the high specific gravity of concrete, gravitational acceleration should be used in the load. In this embodiment, the existing cloud simulation system is based on the Ansys kernel for calculation. To improve the computational efficiency of the cloud simulation system, the model is simplified to some extent. The crossbeam uses Link33 unit chips, the tower 1 structure uses Solid278 unit chips, and the support frame uses Shell131 unit chips. The lateral support structure is ignored. The sampling frequencies of the external contact temperature sensor 2, internal contact temperature sensor 3, non-contact temperature sensor 8, and wind speed sensor 7 are all 15-30Hz. Adjusting the sensor sampling frequency to this value can improve sampling accuracy and monitoring accuracy. To ensure uninterrupted operation of the sensors, all of the above sensors are powered by external solar panels, and their output voltage can be adjusted according to the power supply of the sensors.

[0027] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
