Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication facilities technology, specifically to a power communication tower that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Power and communication towers play a vital role in maintaining and promoting social development. They serve not only as the supporting foundation for communication equipment but also as crucial infrastructure ensuring unimpeded information flow. To guarantee the stability of communication equipment operation, regular maintenance is required. During maintenance, personnel climb to the top of the power and communication tower and then move around the tower to maintain all the equipment. The limited footholds at the top of the tower and the need to move around the entire tower result in poor maintenance convenience and low safety. In addition, power and communication towers generally lack hoisting components, and maintenance personnel usually have to climb and carry the necessary materials, which is generally not very effective. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a power communication tower that is easy to maintain. Maintenance personnel can stand on the maintenance platform and rotate the equipment support frame to perform maintenance on the communication equipment in turn. The equipment support frame is easy to loosen and has good locking stability. The maintenance platform and protective frame can be folded, which also facilitates the hoisting of materials and makes maintenance convenient.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain power communication tower, comprising a tower body and a fixing unit;

[0005] The tower body has evenly distributed tower foot nails on its outer arc surface. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body has a rotating seat. The middle part of the outer arc surface of the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the rotating hole in the middle of the equipment support frame. The outer arc surface of the equipment support frame has evenly distributed T-slots. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body is rotatably connected to a maintenance platform through a rotating shaft one. The front end of the maintenance platform is rotatably connected to a U-shaped frame through a rotating shaft two. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body has symmetrically distributed support seats. The slots at the front end of the support seats are movably engaged with the lower end of the U-shaped frame.

[0006] The fixed unit is located in the middle of the equipment support frame, and the rotating seat is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed unit. Maintenance personnel can stand on the maintenance platform and rotate the equipment support frame to perform maintenance on the communication equipment in turn. The equipment support frame is easy to loosen and has good locking stability, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of maintenance. In addition, the maintenance platform and protective frame can be folded to reduce wind resistance and facilitate the hoisting of materials, making it convenient to use.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing unit includes a slide, a plug-in seat, and a T-shaped strip. The slide is located in the middle of the equipment support frame, the plug-in seat is located at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the rotating seat, and a T-shaped strip is slidably connected to the middle of the slide. The lower end of the T-shaped strip is movably inserted into the plug hole on the upper surface of the plug-in seat to facilitate locking of the equipment support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing unit also includes a U-shaped seat, which is rotatably connected to the middle of the slide via a rotating shaft. The U-shaped seat is movably engaged with the plug-in seat, allowing for secondary locking with the plug-in seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing unit also includes a sliding shaft and a handle. The sliding shaft is located at the front end of the U-shaped seat and is slidably connected to the long sliding hole at the front end of the T-shaped strip. The handle is located on the lower surface of the U-shaped seat to facilitate the movement of the U-shaped seat and the T-shaped strip.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective frame is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body, and connecting rods are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the protective frame. The lower ends of the connecting rods are rotatably connected to the front end of the maintenance platform, thereby improving the safety of maintenance personnel during work.

[0011] Furthermore, a locking seat is provided in the middle of the outer arc surface of the tower body, and the lower end of the U-shaped frame is configured to cooperate with the locking seat to facilitate the positioning of the U-shaped frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a locking shaft is slidably connected to the left end of the U-shaped frame, and both the locking seat and the support seat are configured to cooperate with the locking shaft, which facilitates the positioning of the U-shaped frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning cylinder is provided at the lower end of the left side of the U-shaped frame, the locking shaft passes through the positioning cylinder, a retaining ring is provided at the right end of the outer arc surface of the locking shaft, and a spring is movably sleeved in the middle of the outer arc surface of the locking shaft. Both the retaining ring and the spring are located inside the positioning cylinder, with the spring located to the left of the retaining ring to facilitate the positioning of the locking shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the front end of the protective frame is provided with a support shaft, and the outer arc surface of the support shaft is rotatably connected to a pulley through a bearing, which facilitates the hoisting and transportation of materials.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting handle is rotatably connected to the left end of the outer arc surface of the support shaft, and the rear end of the connecting handle is movably engaged with the slot on the upper surface of the protective frame to prevent the suspension rope from separating from the rope wheel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. During maintenance, personnel climb to the top of the tower using the tower anchors and then ascend to the maintenance platform. A protective frame safeguards the platform from the outside to prevent falls. To operate, the handle is turned upwards, causing the U-shaped seat to rotate. The U-shaped seat, via a sliding shaft, moves the T-shaped strip upwards, separating it from the connector. Simultaneously, the sliding shaft and T-shaped strip slide relative to each other, further separating the U-shaped seat from the connector. The equipment support frame can then be turned, causing the power communication equipment to rotate around the outer arc of the rotating seat. Maintenance personnel can stand on the platform to work. The rotating support frame allows for alternating maintenance of the communication equipment. Furthermore, the support frame is easy to release and securely locks, greatly improving the convenience and safety of maintenance.

[0018] 2. When the workpiece or accessories are difficult for maintenance personnel to carry, the maintenance personnel can rotate the connecting handle upwards to separate the connecting handle from the protective frame. Then, they can pass the hoisting rope they are carrying around the rope pulley, and let both ends of the rope fall to the vicinity of the ground. Then, the connecting handle is reset and engaged with the movable locking mechanism of the protective frame to prevent the hoisting rope from falling off. Then, ground personnel can pull the hoisting rope to lift the tools or accessories. During the maintenance process, materials can be hoisted through the suspended rope pulley, reducing the labor burden of climbing and carrying materials for maintenance personnel.

[0019] 3. After maintenance, the maintenance personnel step off the maintenance platform and pull the locking shaft to the left. The locking shaft causes the retaining ring to move to the left, compressing the spring. The right end of the locking shaft separates from the insertion hole on the left side of the support base. Then, the U-shaped frame can be moved upward. The column at the lower end of the U-shaped frame moves out of the slot at the front end of the support base. The connection between the U-shaped frame and the maintenance platform rotates relative to each other. The U-shaped frame moves downward and no longer provides support to the maintenance platform. The maintenance platform, connecting rod, protective frame, and tower body form a parallelogram structure. The connection between the four parts rotates relative to each other. The maintenance platform and protective frame rotate clockwise to achieve folding. The cylinder at the lower end of the U-shaped frame is inserted into the opening slot at the front end of the locking base. Then, the locking shaft is released. The spring in the compressed state, supported by the positioning cylinder, drives the locking shaft to move to the right through the retaining ring and movably engages with the insertion hole on the left side of the locking base to lock the U-shaped frame. After maintenance, the maintenance platform and protective frame can be folded, reducing their size. After folding, they can be locked, ensuring low wind resistance and high safety of the power communication tower. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides an easy-to-maintain power communication tower, including a tower body 1 and a fixing unit 6.

[0030] The outer arc surface of the tower body 1 is provided with evenly distributed tower foot spikes 2. Maintenance personnel can climb to the top of the tower body 1 by using the tower foot spikes 2. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body 1 is provided with a rotating seat 3. The middle part of the outer arc surface of the rotating seat 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole in the middle of the equipment support frame 4. The power communication equipment is installed on the equipment support frame 4. The equipment support frame 4 is moved, and the equipment support frame 4 drives the power communication equipment to rotate around the outer arc surface of the rotating seat 3. The outer arc surface of the equipment support frame 4 is provided with evenly distributed T-slots 5, which can be inserted into the T-slots 5 and then fixed. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body 1 is rotatably connected to a maintenance platform 7 through a rotating shaft 1. Maintenance personnel can stand on the maintenance platform 7 and take turns to maintain the equipment. The front end of the maintenance platform 7 is rotatably connected to a U-shaped frame 8 through a rotating shaft 2. The upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body 1 is provided with symmetrically distributed support seats 9. The slots at the front end of the support seats 9 are movably engaged with the lower end of the U-shaped frame 8.

[0031] A protective frame 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer arc surface of the tower body 1. The protective frame 11 protects the circumference of the maintenance platform 7 to prevent maintenance personnel from falling. Connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the protective frame 11. The lower ends of the connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to the front end of the maintenance platform 7, allowing the U-shaped frame 8 to move upwards. The column at the lower end of the U-shaped frame 8 moves out of the slot at the front end of the support base 9, causing relative rotation at the connection between the U-shaped frame 8 and the maintenance platform 7. The U-shaped frame 8 then moves downwards, no longer providing support to the maintenance platform 7. The maintenance platform 7, connecting rods 10, protective frame 11, and tower body 1 form a parallelogram. The structure involves relative rotation at the joints of the four components. The maintenance platform 7 and the protective frame 11 fold by rotating clockwise. A locking seat 12 is located in the middle of the outer arc surface of the tower body 1. The lower end of the U-shaped frame 8 is fitted with the locking seat 12. A locking shaft 13 is slidably connected to the left end of the U-shaped frame 8. Both the locking seat 12 and the support seat 9 are fitted with the locking shaft 13. The cylinder at the lower end of the U-shaped frame 8 is inserted into the opening groove at the front end of the locking seat 12. A positioning cylinder 14 is located at the lower end of the left side of the U-shaped frame 8. The locking shaft 13 passes through the positioning cylinder 14. A retaining ring 15 is located at the right end of the outer arc surface of the locking shaft 13. A spring 16 is movably connected in the middle of the frame. Both the retaining ring 15 and the spring 16 are located inside the positioning cylinder 14. The spring 16 is located to the left of the retaining ring 15. Pulling the locking shaft 13 to the left causes the locking shaft 13 to move the retaining ring 15 to the left, compressing the spring 16. The right end of the locking shaft 13 separates from the insertion hole on the left side of the support seat 9. Releasing the locking shaft 13 allows the compressed spring 16 to move to the right through the retaining ring 15 under the support of the positioning cylinder 14, engaging with the insertion hole on the left side of the locking seat 12 to lock the U-shaped frame 8. The front end of the protective frame 11 is provided with a support shaft 19. The outer side of the support shaft 19... The arc surface is rotatably connected to the rope wheel 17 via a bearing. The left end of the outer arc surface of the support shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the connecting handle 18. The rear end of the connecting handle 18 is movably engaged with the slot on the upper surface of the protective frame 11. When the workpiece or accessories are difficult for the maintenance personnel to carry, the maintenance personnel can rotate the connecting handle 18 upward to separate the connecting handle 18 from the protective frame 11. Then, the hoisting rope they carry can be passed around the rope wheel 17, and both ends of the hoisting rope can fall to the vicinity of the ground. Then, the connecting handle 18 can be reset and movably engaged with the protective frame 11 to prevent the hoisting rope from falling off. Then, the ground personnel can lift the tools or accessories by pulling the hoisting rope.

[0032] The fixing unit 6 is located in the middle of the equipment support frame 4. The rotating seat 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing unit 6. The fixing unit 6 includes a slide 61, a plug-in seat 62, and a T-shaped strip 63. The slide 61 is located in the middle of the equipment support frame 4. The plug-in seat 62 is located at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the rotating seat 3. The T-shaped strip 63 is slidably connected to the middle of the slide 61. The lower end of the T-shaped strip 63 is movably plugged into the plug hole on the upper surface of the plug-in seat 62. The fixing unit 6 also includes a U-shaped seat 64. The U-shaped seat 64 is rotatably connected to the middle of the slide 61 via a rotating shaft. The U-shaped seat 64 is movably engaged with the plug-in seat 62. The fixing unit 6 also includes a sliding shaft 65 and a handle 66. The sliding shaft 65 is located on the U-shaped seat 61. At the front end of 4, the sliding shaft 65 is slidably connected to the long sliding hole at the front end of the T-shaped bar 63. The handle 66 is set on the lower surface of the U-shaped seat 64. When the handle 66 is moved upward, the handle 66 drives the U-shaped seat 64 to rotate. The U-shaped seat 64 moves the T-shaped bar 63 upward along the sliding seat 61 through the sliding shaft 65 and separates it from the plug-in seat 62. At the same time, the sliding shaft 65 and the T-shaped bar 63 slide relative to each other, and the U-shaped seat 64 separates from the plug-in seat 62. When the handle 66 is moved downward, the handle 66 drives the U-shaped seat 64 to move and engage with the plug-in seat 62. At the same time, the U-shaped seat 64 moves the T-shaped bar 63 to move and engage with the plug-in seat 62 through the sliding shaft 65, thereby achieving double locking and restricting the rotation of the equipment support frame 4.

[0033] The working principle of the easy-to-maintain power communication tower provided by this invention is as follows:

[0034] In use, the power communication equipment can be installed on the equipment support frame 4. The mounting base of the equipment can be inserted into the T-slot 5 and then fixed. During maintenance, maintenance personnel climb to the top of the tower body 1 using the tower foot spikes 2, and then ascend to the maintenance platform 7. The protective frame 11 protects the circumference of the maintenance platform 7 to prevent falls. During operation, the handle 66 is turned upwards, causing the U-shaped seat 64 to rotate. The U-shaped seat 64, via the sliding shaft 65, moves the T-shaped strip 63 upwards along the sliding base 61, separating it from the insertion seat 62. Simultaneously, the sliding shaft 65 and the T-shaped strip 63 slide relative to each other, causing the U-shaped seat 64 and the insertion seat... After separation at step 62, the equipment support frame 4 can be moved. The equipment support frame 4 drives the power communication equipment to rotate around the outer arc surface of the rotating seat 3. Maintenance personnel can then stand on the maintenance platform 7 and take turns maintaining the equipment. When the workpiece or accessories are difficult for the maintenance personnel to carry, the maintenance personnel can rotate the connecting handle 18 upwards to separate the connecting handle 18 from the protective frame 11. Then, the lifting rope they carry can be looped around the rope pulley 17, and both ends of the lifting rope can fall to the vicinity of the ground. Then, the connecting handle 18 can be reset and engaged with the protective frame 11 to prevent the lifting rope from falling off. Then, ground personnel can pull the lifting rope to lift the tools or accessories. After maintenance, reset the equipment support frame 4, then turn the handle 66 downwards. The handle 66 causes the U-shaped seat 64 to engage with the plug-in seat 62. Simultaneously, the U-shaped seat 64, through the sliding shaft 65, causes the T-shaped strip 63 to engage with the plug-in seat 62, thus achieving double locking and restricting the rotation of the equipment support frame 4. Then, the maintenance personnel step off the maintenance platform 7 and pull the locking shaft 13 to the left. The locking shaft 13 causes the retaining ring 15 to move to the left, compressing the spring 16. The right end of the locking shaft 13 separates from the insertion hole on the left side of the support frame 9. Then, the U-shaped frame 8 can be moved upwards, and the column at the lower end of the U-shaped frame 8 moves out of the slot at the front end of the support frame 9. The connection between the U-shaped frame 8 and the maintenance platform 7 rotates relative to each other. The U-shaped frame 8 moves down and no longer provides support to the maintenance platform 7. The maintenance platform 7, connecting rod 10, protective frame 11 and tower body 1 form a parallelogram structure. The connection between the four parts rotates relative to each other. The maintenance platform 7 and protective frame 11 rotate clockwise to achieve folding. The cylinder at the lower end of the U-shaped frame 8 is inserted into the opening groove at the front end of the locking seat 12. Then the locking shaft 13 is released. The spring 16, which is in a compressed state, is supported by the positioning cylinder 14 and drives the locking shaft 13 to move to the right through the retaining ring 15. It is movably inserted into the insertion hole on the left side of the locking seat 12 to lock the U-shaped frame 8.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
