Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tower reinforcement technology, and more specifically, relates to an overall reinforcement system for communication towers. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of science and technology, electronic information engineering has become widely recognized. Electronic information engineering mainly uses communication technology. As a science and technology closely related to modern industrial production and people's daily lives, communication technology is developing rapidly. The development of single-tube communication towers is also an indispensable part of this. Since single-tube communication towers are outdoors for a long time, they need reinforcement devices to fix them and enhance their stability.
[0003] While existing devices for reinforcing pipe towers can provide some stability, they are relatively complex in structure. More importantly, their reinforcement effect is poor. When the external environment changes significantly, existing reinforcement devices cannot guarantee the stability of the pipe tower, resulting in poor safety and potentially causing substantial economic losses. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an overall reinforcement system for communication towers, which aims to solve the problem of poor reinforcement effect that cannot guarantee the stability of the tower.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide an overall reinforcement system for communication towers, comprising:
[0006] Both main rods are set upwards and are used to attach to both sides of the pipe tower;
[0007] Multiple swing arms are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the main rod; the multiple swing arms are respectively hinged to both sides of the corresponding main rod; the multiple swing arms located on the same side of the two main rods are arranged in pairs; the ends of the swing arms away from the main rods are provided with connecting holes, and the multiple connecting holes located on the same side of the two main rods form a through space;
[0008] Two insert rods are respectively inserted into the two through spaces on both sides of the two main rods, and the two insert rods are used to make the two main rods abut against and position on the pipe tower;
[0009] Two anchor rods, one end of which is connected to the insert rod, and the other end extends downward and inserts into the ground;
[0010] Two support blocks are respectively installed at the bottom of the corresponding main rod to support the main rod.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the inner side of the main rod is provided with an arc-shaped plate, which is used to increase the contact area between the main rod and the tower.
[0012] In one possible implementation, a tension sleeve is installed between the anchor rod and the insert rod, and the anchor rod is used to position the insert rod by means of the tension sleeve.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the two ends of the tension sleeve are threadedly connected to the insert rod and the anchor rod, respectively, and the thread direction of the tension sleeve and the insert rod is opposite to the thread direction of the tension sleeve and the anchor rod.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the tension sleeve is welded and fixed to the anchor rod and the insertion rod, respectively.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the inner side of the swing arm away from the end of the main rod is provided with a positioning block, which is used to abut against the tower.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the positioning block is hinged to the swing arm, and the positioning block is provided with an arcuate groove for fitting onto the tower.
[0017] In one possible implementation, a positioning rod is inserted into the support block, the positioning rod extending downward from the support block and inserting into the ground.
[0018] In one possible implementation, a reinforcing rod is connected between the support block and the anchor rod.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the reinforcing rod is detachably connected between the support block and the anchor rod.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the integrated reinforcement system for communication towers provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in this invention's integrated reinforcement system for communication towers, two main poles are both upwardly positioned and attached to both sides of the tower. Multiple swing arms are arranged sequentially along the height of the main poles, and each swing arm is hinged to one side of its corresponding main pole. A connecting hole is provided at the end of each swing arm away from the main pole, and the multiple swing arms located on one side of the two main poles intersect each other in pairs. Two insert rods are respectively inserted into the multiple connecting holes on both sides of the main poles. Under the action of the two insert rods, the main pole rests against the tower. One end of an anchor rod is connected to the insert rod, and the other end is inserted into the ground. Two support blocks are respectively provided at the bottom of the two main poles.
[0021] In practical applications, after the insert rods are inserted, the main rods rest against the tower due to the cross-bracing of the two main rods. The limiting effect of the two main rods improves the tower's resistance to external impacts. The anchor rods further ensure the stability of the insert rods' positions. With the cooperation of the two insert rods and two support blocks, the tower can be effectively reinforced. The entire structure is relatively simple, with strong reinforcement effect and high safety and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0029] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an integrated reinforcement system for communication towers. The integrated reinforcement system includes: two main poles 2, multiple swing arms 3, two insert rods 4, two anchor rods 8, and two support blocks 5. The two main poles 2 are both upward-facing and respectively attached to both sides of the tower 1. The multiple swing arms 3 are arranged sequentially along the height of the main poles 2; the multiple swing arms 3 are respectively hinged to both sides of the corresponding main pole 2; the multiple swing arms 3 located on the same side of the two main poles 2 are arranged in pairs; the ends of the swing arms 3 away from the main poles 2 have connecting holes 10, and the multiple connecting holes 10 located on the same side of the two main poles 2 form a through space. The two insert rods 4 are respectively inserted into the two through spaces on both sides of the two main poles 2, and the two insert rods 4 cooperate to make the two main poles 2 abut and be positioned on the tower 1. One end of each of the two anchor rods 8 is connected to the insert rod 4, and the other end extends downward and inserts into the ground. The two support blocks 5 are respectively set at the bottom end of the corresponding main poles 2 to support the main poles 2.
[0030] The beneficial effects of the communication tower reinforcement system provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in the communication tower reinforcement system of this invention, two main poles 2 are both upwardly positioned and attached to both sides of the tower 1. Multiple swing arms 3 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the main poles 2, and the multiple swing arms 3 are respectively hinged to the corresponding sides of the main poles 2. The ends of the swing arms 3 away from the main poles 2 are provided with connecting holes 10, and the multiple swing arms 3 located on one side of the two main poles 2 intersect each other in pairs. Two insert rods 4 are respectively inserted into the multiple connecting holes 10 on both sides of the main poles 2. Under the action of the two insert rods 4, the main poles 2 abut against the tower 1. One end of the anchor rod 8 is connected to the insert rod 4, and the other end is inserted into the ground. Two support blocks 5 are respectively provided at the bottom ends of the two main poles 2.
[0031] In practical applications, after the insertion of the insert rod 4, the two swing arms 3 cross each other, causing the main rod 2 to abut against the pipe tower 1. The limiting effect of the two main rods 2 improves the pipe tower 1's ability to resist external impacts. The positioning of the anchor rod 8 ultimately ensures the stability of the insert rod 4's position. With the cooperation of the two insert rods 4 and the two support blocks 5, the pipe tower 1 can be effectively reinforced. The entire structure is relatively simple, with strong reinforcement effect and high safety and reliability.
[0032] A signal tower is a wireless signal transmitting device established by network operators. It's called a signal tower because of its tower-like shape. It's also a type of public radio station, referring to a radio transceiver station that transmits information between a communication switching center and mobile phone terminals within a certain radio coverage area. Since the popularization of wireless cities, signal towers have also served as signal transmission base points for urban Wi-Fi. However, existing signal towers are generally inconvenient to install. Besides the difficulty in assembling and splicing the towers themselves, the signal equipment installed on them typically uses a fixed installation structure, which brings considerable inconvenience to the installation, disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of damaged equipment.
[0033] In existing technologies, the steel pipe pile foundations of power poles mostly consist of a single steel pipe pile directly inserted into the soil without other reinforcing materials or layers. This results in weak foundation strength, making the steel pipe pile susceptible to uprooting or bending during typhoons, earthquakes, or other disasters, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, existing single-pipe communication tower reinforcement devices are too traditional and simple in structure, offering weak reinforcement and failing to adequately stabilize single-pipe communication towers. Therefore, optimization is necessary.
[0034] 5G base stations are core equipment of 5G networks, providing wireless coverage and enabling wireless signal transmission between wired communication networks and wireless terminals. The architecture and form of base stations directly affect how 5G networks are deployed. Existing communication towers are generally designed based on 4G technology. 4G and 5G antennas have structural differences, such as significant size differences and a greater tilt angle for 5G antennas when attached to poles compared to 4G antennas. These structural differences make existing communication towers unsuitable for 5G antennas. This application, due to its reinforcement, facilitates the installation and erection of 5G antennas with high efficiency.
[0035] Pole towers are one of the basic pieces of equipment in overhead power distribution lines. According to the material used, they can be divided into three types: wooden poles, cement poles, and metal poles. Cement poles have the advantages of long service life and low maintenance workload, and are widely used.
[0036] The most commonly used type of concrete pole is the tip-type pole, which is divided into ordinary reinforced concrete poles and prestressed reinforced concrete poles. Some of these concrete poles will tilt after being erected due to external forces. Once tilted, the falling poles will affect adjacent concrete poles under the pull of the power lines, leading to the tilting of many poles in succession, resulting in significant losses.
[0037] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner surface of the main rod 2 is provided with an arc-shaped plate, which is used to increase the contact area between the main rod 2 and the pipe tower 1. The pipe tower 1 itself is an approximately conical structure. If the main rod 2 directly contacts the pipe tower 1 after inserting the two insert rods 4, then due to the large force between the main rod 2 and the pipe tower 1, this force may cause plastic deformation on the pipe tower 1 with the extension of the service time, eventually leading to the failure of the entire reinforcement system.
[0038] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an arc-shaped plate on the inner side of the main pole 2, i.e., the side closest to the tower 1. In practical applications, after the arc-shaped plate is inserted into the insert rod 4, it abuts against and adheres to the tower 1. Due to the arc-shaped plate's own curvature, it can effectively adhere to the tower. Both arc-shaped plates on the two main poles 2 adhere to the tower, thereby achieving a reinforcement effect on the tower 1.
[0039] The curved plate can be integrally formed on the main pole 2. The above-mentioned arrangement ensures the connection strength between the curved plate and the pole, avoiding problems such as cracks between the curved plate and the pole.
[0040] It should be noted that the reinforcement system in this application can be installed and constructed without interrupting the station, thus not affecting the normal transmission of signals, and ensuring the stable operation of the entire communication system.
[0041] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 A tension sleeve 7 is installed between the anchor bolt 8 and the insertion rod 4. The anchor bolt 8 is used to position the insertion rod 4 with the help of the tension sleeve 7. The anchor bolt 8 can be drilled into the ground using traditional methods. Due to the relatively long length of the anchor bolt 8 and operations such as pouring concrete, the anchor bolt 8 can be stably positioned, which is why the anchor bolt 8 can exert sufficient force on the insertion rod 4. If the insertion rod 4 is only connected to the anchor bolt 8, although the stability of the tower can be guaranteed to a certain extent, the force between the tower and the ground is small. This means that the stability of the tower is still not well guaranteed, and the tower may tilt away from the anchor bolt 8.
[0042] For the reasons mentioned above, a tension sleeve 7 is connected between the anchor rod 8 and the insertion rod 4 in this application. That is, the tension sleeve 7 causes the anchor rod 8 to exert a force on the insertion rod 4. Since tension sleeves 7 are installed on both anchor rods 8, the tower will experience a downward force under the action of the two anchor rods 8. This downward force increases the pressure of the tower 1 on the ground, ultimately ensuring the tower's ability to resist external impacts to a certain extent. This principle is similar to installing a mass block on the top of a tall building; however, the tower in this application is relatively small, so ensuring its structural stability is sufficient.
[0043] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The two ends of the tension sleeve 7 are threadedly connected to the insertion rod 4 and the anchor rod 8, respectively, and the thread direction of the tension sleeve 7 and the insertion rod 4 is opposite to that of the thread direction of the tension sleeve 7 and the anchor rod 8. For a more detailed explanation, threads are first provided at the ends of the anchor rod 8 and the insertion rod 4 that are close to each other. The tension sleeve 7 is a tubular structure with internal threads at both ends, and the internal threads at both ends of the tension sleeve 7 are in opposite directions. Based on the above design, to facilitate installation and ensure smooth construction of the anchor rod 8, the insertion rod 4 can be positioned first during installation, and a connecting rod can be installed at the bottom end of the insertion rod 4. The connecting rod can be welded or inserted into the bottom end of the insertion rod 4. More importantly, the connecting rod is inclined downwards from the bottom end of the insertion rod 4, and at this time, the end of the connecting rod away from the insertion rod 4 is coaxial with the anchor rod 8. During installation, the tension sleeve 7 can be first connected to the anchor rod 8, and then the connecting rod can be connected to the other end of the tension sleeve 7. After the connecting rod is installed, it is then fixed to the insertion rod 4.
[0044] Because the threads are set in opposite directions, when the tension sleeve 7 is rotated, the anchor rod 8 and the connecting rod can be brought closer to each other. When the anchor rod 8 and the insert rod 4 are close to each other, the anchor rod 8 will eventually exert a downward force on the insert rod 4.
[0045] In some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, the tension sleeve 7 is welded and fixed to the anchor rod 8 and the insertion rod 4, respectively. During installation, after the connecting rod is installed on the insertion rod 4, the tension sleeve 7 needs to be rotated to bring the anchor rod 8 and the insertion rod 4 into a tensioned state. However, due to the thread direction setting at both ends of the tension sleeve 7, if there is no external force to restrain it, the tension sleeve 7 will loosen, ultimately causing the force exerted by the anchor rod 8 on the insertion rod 4 to disappear. To avoid the above problem, after tightening the tension sleeve 7 and applying a downward force to the insertion rod 4, the tension sleeve 7 can be directly welded to the anchor rod 8 and the connecting rod, i.e., welding is performed at two locations. After the above is completed, the risk of the tension sleeve 7 swinging relative to the anchor rod 8 or the insertion rod 4 is avoided.
[0046] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 The inner side of the swing arm 3 away from the end of the main rod 2 is provided with a positioning block 11, which is used to abut against the pipe tower 1.
[0047] In practical applications, to provide strong support for tower 1, the main rod 2 needs to rest against the tower. This is because the main rod 2, under the action of multiple swing arms 3 and two insert rods 4, directly contacts tower 1. Typically, the two main rods 2 are distributed on both sides of tower 1, providing a certain degree of reinforcement. However, it should be noted that the direction of the force exerted by the main rod 2 on tower 1 is fixed, which means that the main rod 2 cannot guarantee the stability of tower 1 in other directions.
[0048] To solve the above problems, a positioning block 11 is provided on the inner side of the end of the swing arm 3. After the insertion rod 4 is inserted, the positioning block 11 will abut against the pipe tower 1 under the action of the insertion rod 4. Finally, the reinforcement effect of the pipe tower 1 is improved by the main rod 2 and the positioning block 11.
[0049] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 The positioning block 11 is hinged to the swing arm 3, and the positioning block 11 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for fitting against the pipe tower 1. It should be noted that the pipe tower 1 is mostly a cylindrical structure. If the contact area between the positioning block 11 and the pipe tower 1 is small, the force between the positioning block 11 and the pipe tower 1 will be large. The end result is that plastic deformation will occur on the pipe tower 1 under the compression of the positioning block 11, ultimately leading to the failure of the reinforcement effect.
[0050] More importantly, different pipe towers 1 may have different outer diameters. By hinged the positioning block 11 to the swing arm 3, even if the outer diameters of the pipe towers 1 are different, it can be ensured that there is sufficient contact area between the positioning block 11 and the pipe tower 1, thus ensuring the reinforcement of the pipe tower 1.
[0051] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 A positioning rod 6 is inserted into the support block 5, extending downwards from the support block 5 and inserting into the ground. Normally, the main rod 2 rests against the pipe tower 1 along its entire length. If there are no other limiting measures at the top and bottom of the main rod 2, its position relative to the swing arm 3 cannot be determined under the influence of the external environment. More importantly, when the pipe tower 1 is subjected to external forces on the main rod 2, these forces cannot be transmitted to the ground surface through the main rod 2, ultimately resulting in poor reinforcement of the entire system.
[0052] Therefore, in this application, a support block 5 is connected to the bottom end of the main rod 2, and the force on the main rod 2 is transmitted to the ground through the support block 5. In order to ensure the stability of the support block 5, a positioning rod 6 is inserted into the support block 5. The positioning rod 6 passes through the support block 5 and is inserted downward into the ground, thereby ensuring the stability of the support block 5.
[0053] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 4 A reinforcing rod 9 connects the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8. To improve the overall integrity of the system and its resistance to external impacts, the reinforcing rod 9 is connected between the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8. The two ends of the reinforcing rod 9 can be directly welded and fixed to the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8. Through this arrangement, the force on the anchor rod 8 is transmitted to the support block 5 through the reinforcing rod 9, making the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8 an almost integral structure.
[0054] For some embodiments of the communication tower reinforcement system provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 4 The reinforcing rod 9 is detachably connected between the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8. This detachable connection facilitates installation and disassembly, increasing the number of times the components can be reused. More importantly, it allows for timely replacement of the corresponding components, reducing resource consumption.
[0055] The reinforcing rods 9 in this application can all be bolted to the support block 5 and the anchor rod 8.
[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
