Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power communication facilities technology, specifically to a power transmission tower resistant to strong winds. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead power lines are power transmission lines erected on the ground, with insulator strings fixing the transmission conductors to towers that stand upright on the ground to transmit electrical energy. The so-called towers are power transmission towers or power angle steel towers. Power transmission towers are assembled from angle steel, and their basic structure consists of a tower base, a tower body, and a tower top.

[0003] The tower body is mostly fixed with bolts at the joints. In the face of strong winds, the tower body will sway to a certain extent at its high position, which will have an adverse effect on the tower body itself or accessories such as insulator strings, such as cracks and damage.

[0004] Furthermore, the lack of a structural design for rapid reinforcement during tower erection makes it prone to swaying, increasing the difficulty of erection and posing safety risks to auxiliary installation personnel. Therefore, we propose a power and communication tower capable of strong wind resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a wind-resistant power transmission tower. During installation, temporary reinforcement can be carried out, and the tower base can be quickly installed using cement, resulting in a more robust installation and stronger wind resistance. Furthermore, reinforcement at the joints enhances its stability in the face of strong winds, effectively solving the problems described in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a wind-resistant power transmission tower, comprising a tower base, a base reinforcement mechanism, and a first reinforcement mechanism;

[0007] The tower body is connected to the upper end of the tower base by fixing bolts, and the tower top is connected to the upper end of the tower body by fixing bolts. A second reinforcement mechanism is evenly distributed between the lower end of the tower top and the upper end of the tower body, and a second reinforcement mechanism is also evenly distributed between the lower end of the tower body and the upper end of the tower base.

[0008] The base reinforcement mechanism is located at the lower end of the tower base;

[0009] The first reinforcement mechanism includes a fixed frame, a locking frame, and a plug. The locking frames are all fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the front and rear sides of the tower base and the tower body. Fixed frames are also fixedly connected to the lower middle parts of the front and rear sides of the tower body and the tower top. The fixed frames are vertically corresponding to the locking frames. A plug is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame. The lower end of the outer surface of the plug is slidably connected to the interior of the adjacent locking frame below.

[0010] It also includes an observation tower, which is fixedly connected to the top of the tower. The tower base is installed more flat and firmly, preventing the tower from swaying in strong winds and causing the ground where the tower base is installed to loosen. At the same time, it can be quickly reinforced during installation, and secondary reinforcement can be carried out with studs after the temporary reinforcement. Secondary auxiliary reinforcement can also be carried out, making the connection more robust than traditional bolt connections and more resistant to strong winds.

[0011] Furthermore, the base reinforcement mechanism includes a base and a foundation frame. The lower four corners of the tower base are fixedly connected to mounting base plates. The lower surfaces of the mounting base plates are connected to the base by fixing bolts. The lower end of the base is fixedly connected to the foundation frame, making the installation more secure.

[0012] Furthermore, the base reinforcement mechanism also includes a revolving door and a handle. An installation clearance groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base. The revolving door is rotatably connected to the rear end of the installation clearance groove. A handle is fixedly connected to the front end of the upper surface of the revolving door to facilitate cement pouring.

[0013] Furthermore, the first reinforcement mechanism also includes a limiting block, a stud, and a plug. The lower outer surface of the insert is provided with uniformly distributed grooves. The grooves are slidably connected to the limiting blocks. The adjacent ends of the limiting blocks are fixedly connected to arc-shaped frames. The opposing surfaces of the arc-shaped frames are in contact with the inner wall of the insert. The upper adjacent sides of the arc-shaped frames are provided with inclined surfaces. The lower opposing sides of the limiting blocks are inclined surfaces. The upper inner end of the insert is threaded with a stud. The lower end of the stud is fixedly connected to a plug. The lower ends of the plugs are located between the arc-shaped frames in the same insert, which can be quickly locked and reinforced, making the connection more secure.

[0014] Furthermore, the second reinforcement mechanism includes a U-shaped frame, a socket, and a locking plate. The outer surface of the whole formed by the lower end of the tower top and the upper end of the tower body is fitted with evenly distributed U-shaped frames. The outer surface of the whole formed by the lower end of the tower body and the upper end of the tower base is also fitted with evenly distributed U-shaped frames. The adjacent ends of the U-shaped frames are provided with symmetrical sockets. A locking plate is inserted between the two sockets of the same U-shaped frame for auxiliary reinforcement.

[0015] Furthermore, both the left and right sides of the observation platform are connected to fixed mounting bases by fixing bolts, and the opposite sides of the fixed mounting bases are fixedly connected to suspension brackets to facilitate the installation of insulators.

[0016] Furthermore, a lightning rod is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the observation tower to prevent lightning from directly striking the power line during thunderstorms.

[0017] Furthermore, a ladder is fixedly connected to the front side of the observation deck to facilitate climbing by staff.

[0018] Furthermore, the lower end of the climbing ladder is fixedly connected to a base, and the lower surface of the base is connected to the upper surface of the base by fixing bolts, making the climbing ladder installation more secure and also providing auxiliary support for the tower body.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. The installation foundation is excavated at the installation site using excavation equipment. The foundation frame is then placed inside the installation foundation. The revolving door is opened by the handle, and workers pour cement into the installation foundation through the installation clearance port, ensuring that the foundation frame is completely submerged. After the cement dries and sets, the base can be installed quickly. At the same time, the foundation frame strengthens the connection of the base, making the base installation more stable. A more stable and flat base makes the power communication tower more wind-resistant, and the pouring of cement is also easier.

[0021] 2. The tower base is connected to the foundation by installing the base plate. Then, the tower body is suspended above the tower base by a crane and slowly lowered. Workers assist in alignment so that the insert can be inserted into the locking frame. During insertion, the inclined surface of the limiting block contacts the locking frame and bears force. Under the action of force, the limiting blocks move closer to each other inside the insert. After insertion, the worker inserts the stud into the insert and then rotates the stud to connect it with the upper thread of the insert. During the threaded connection, the stud slowly moves downward, which in turn moves the insert downward. The lower end of the insert contacts the inclined surface of the curved frame. With the surface in contact, the insert post pushes the arc-shaped frame open downwards, causing the arc-shaped frames to move away from each other until the insert post presses the arc-shaped frame tightly against the inner wall of the insert cylinder. The arc-shaped frame is pressed tightly, causing the limit blocks to move away from each other. All limit blocks extend out of the sliding groove, and the upper end of the limit block contacts the locking frame to produce a limiting effect. This allows for quick temporary reinforcement of the tower body during initial installation. Then, after the stud is inserted, the limit blocks are used for secondary reinforcement, which locks the insert cylinder. After the stud is inserted into the insert cylinder, it also provides internal support for the insert cylinder and reinforces the connection, making it more stable in strong winds.

[0022] 3. After connection, the staff will attach the U-shaped frame to the outer surface of the connection between the tower base and the tower body, and then insert the locking plate into the socket. This will prevent the connection from separating in strong winds due to the U-shaped frame, and the installation will be quick. This will further reinforce the connection and make it more wind-resistant. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a power tower resistant to strong winds, including a tower base 1, a base reinforcement mechanism 9, and a first reinforcement mechanism 11.

[0032] The upper end of the tower base 1 is connected to the tower body 2 by fixing bolts. The upper end of the tower body 2 is connected to the tower top 3 by fixing bolts. A uniformly distributed second reinforcement mechanism 12 is provided between the lower end of the tower top 3 and the upper end of the tower body 2. A uniformly distributed second reinforcement mechanism 12 is also provided between the lower end of the tower body 2 and the upper end of the tower base 1. The second reinforcement mechanism 12 includes a U-shaped frame 121, a socket 122, and a locking plate 123. The outer surface of the entire structure formed by the lower end of the tower top 3 and the upper end of the tower body 2 is fitted with uniformly distributed U-shaped frames 121. The outer surface is also fitted with evenly distributed U-shaped frames 121. The adjacent ends of the U-shaped frames 121 are provided with symmetrical upper and lower insertion slots 122. Locking plates 123 are inserted between the two insertion slots 122 of the same U-shaped frame 121. After connection, the workers attach the U-shaped frames 121 to the outer surface of the connection between the tower base 1 and the tower body 2, and then insert the locking plates 123 from the insertion slots 122. This restricts the connection from separating in strong winds by the U-shaped frames 121, and at the same time, the installation is quick and the connection is reinforced again, giving it strong wind resistance.

[0033] The base reinforcement mechanism 9 is located at the lower end of the tower base 1. The base reinforcement mechanism 9 includes a base 91 and a foundation frame 92. Mounting base plates 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the tower base 1. The lower surfaces of the mounting base plates 10 are connected to the base 91 by fixing bolts. The lower end of the base 91 is fixedly connected to the foundation frame 92. The base reinforcement mechanism 9 also includes a revolving door 93 and a handle 94. An installation clearance groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base 91. The revolving door 93 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the installation clearance groove. The handle 94 is fixedly connected to the front end of the upper surface of the revolving door 93. The installation foundation is excavated at the installation site using excavation equipment. Then, the foundation frame 92 is placed inside the installation foundation. The revolving door 93 is then opened by the handle 94, and the workers pour cement into the installation foundation through the installation clearance opening, so that the cement completely submerges the foundation frame 92. After the cement dries and sets, the base 91 can be installed quickly. At the same time, the foundation frame 92 strengthens the connection of the base 91, making the installation of the base 91 more stable. The more stable and flat the base 91, the stronger the wind resistance of the power communication tower, and the easier the cement pouring.

[0034] The first reinforcement mechanism 11 includes a fixing frame 111, a locking frame 112, and a plug 113. The locking frames 112 are all fixedly connected to the upper middle of the front and rear sides of the tower base 1 and the tower body 2. The lower front and rear sides of the tower body 2 and the tower top 3 are also fixedly connected to the fixing frames 111. The fixing frames 111 are vertically aligned with the locking frames 112. A plug 113 is fixedly connected inside each fixing frame 111. The lower end of the outer surface of each plug 113 is slidably connected to the interior of the adjacent locking frame 112. The first reinforcement mechanism 11 also includes a limiting block 114, a stud 115, and a plug 116. The lower outer surface of each plug 113 is... The system has evenly distributed sliding grooves, each with a slidably connected limit block 114. Arc-shaped frames are fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the limit blocks 114, with opposite surfaces of the arc-shaped frames contacting the inner wall of the insert cylinder 113. The upper adjacent sides of the arc-shaped frames have inclined surfaces, and the lower opposite sides of the limit blocks 114 have inclined surfaces. The upper interior of the insert cylinder 113 is threaded with studs 115, and the lower ends of the studs 115 are fixedly connected with insert posts 116. The lower ends of the insert posts 116 are all located between the arc-shaped frames within the same insert cylinder 113. The tower base 1 is connected to the base 91 via the mounting plate 10, and then the tower body 2 is suspended by a crane. The cylinder is suspended above tower base 1 and then slowly lowered. Workers assist in alignment, allowing the insert 113 to insert into the locking frame 112. During insertion, the inclined surface of the limiting block 114 contacts the locking frame 112 and bears force. Under the force, the limiting blocks 114 move closer to each other inside the insert 113. After insertion, the worker inserts the stud 115 into the insert 113 and then rotates the stud 115 to make it threadedly connected to the upper end of the insert 113. During the threaded connection, the stud 115 slowly moves downward, which in turn drives the insert 116 downward. The lower end of the insert 116 contacts the inclined surface on the arc-shaped frame, and the insert 116 moves downward. The curved frame is pushed open, and the curved frames move away from each other until the insert 116 presses the curved frame tightly against the inner wall of the insert cylinder 113. The curved frame is pressed tightly, which causes the limiting blocks 114 to move away from each other. The limiting blocks 114 all extend out of the sliding groove, and the upper end of the limiting block 114 contacts the locking frame 112 to produce a limiting effect. This allows for quick temporary reinforcement during the initial installation. Then, the stud 115 is inserted to reinforce the limiting blocks 114 a second time, so that the insert cylinder 113 is locked. After the stud 115 is inserted into the insert cylinder 113, it also provides internal support to the insert cylinder 113 and reinforces the connection, making it more stable in strong winds.

[0035] It also includes a lookout tower 4, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tower top 3. The left and right sides of the lookout tower 4 are both connected to fixed mounting bases 13 by fixing bolts. The opposite sides of the fixed mounting bases 13 are both fixedly connected to suspension brackets 5. A lightning rod 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the lookout tower 4. A climbing ladder 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lookout tower 4. A base 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the climbing ladder 7. The lower surface of the base 8 is connected to the upper surface of the base 91 by fixing bolts.

[0036] The working principle of the strong wind-resistant power transmission tower provided by this invention is as follows:

[0037] During installation, workers first excavate the installation foundation at the installation site using excavation equipment. Then, the foundation frame 92 is placed inside the foundation. Next, the revolving door 93 is opened via handle 94, and cement is poured into the foundation through the installation clearance opening, completely submerging the foundation frame 92. After the cement dries and sets, the base 91 can be quickly installed. Simultaneously, the foundation frame 92 strengthens the connection of the base 91, making the installation of the base 91 more stable. A more stable and flat base 91 enhances the wind resistance of the power communication tower, and also facilitates easier cement pouring. Finally, the tower base 1 is connected to the base 91 via the installation base plate 10. Then, the tower body 2 is suspended above the tower base 1 by a crane and slowly lowered. Workers assist in alignment so that the insert 113 is inserted into the locking frame 112. During insertion, the inclined surface of the limiting block 114 contacts the locking frame 112 and is subjected to force. Under the action of force, the limiting blocks 114 move closer to each other inside the insert 113. After insertion, the workers insert the stud 115 into the insert 113 and then rotate the stud 115 to make it threadedly connected to the upper end of the insert 113. When threadedly connected, the stud 115 slowly moves downward, which in turn moves the insert 116 downward. The lower end of the insert 116 contacts the inclined surface on the arc frame. The column 116 pushes the arc-shaped frame downwards, causing them to move away from each other until the column 116 presses the arc-shaped frame tightly against the inner wall of the insert cylinder 113. The pressed arc-shaped frame causes the limiting blocks 114 to move away from each other, with each limiting block 114 extending out of its groove. The upper end of each limiting block 114 contacts the locking frame 112, providing a limiting effect. This allows for quick temporary reinforcement during initial installation. Then, the stud 115 is inserted for secondary reinforcement of the limiting blocks 114, locking the insert cylinder 113. The stud 115, inserted into the insert cylinder 113, also provides internal support and reinforces the connection, making it more stable in strong winds. Afterwards, the workers attach the U-shaped frame 121 to the outer surface of the connection between the tower base 1 and the tower body 2, and then insert the locking plate 123 into the socket 122. This prevents the connection from separating in strong winds due to the U-shaped frame 121, and also allows for quick installation and further reinforcement of the connection to enhance its wind resistance. The tower top 3 and the tower body 2 are then connected in the same way. The workers on the base 91 then connect the base 8 to the base 91 with fixing bolts, making the climbing ladder 7 more stable. In strong winds, the climbing ladder 7 also provides auxiliary support for the power communication tower. Finally, the suspension 5 is installed using the climbing ladder 7.
