Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication pole towers, and in particular to a method for monitoring and early warning the health of a communication pole tower and its device, medium, and equipment. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing communication equipment is installed on the communication tower to ensure the normal communication of the equipment in the covered area. The structures of communication towers are varied, but the common feature is that they are all vertical poles, and the average height can reach 15~30m. The H-type tower is assembled into a rectangular frame by multiple steel pipes, and a diagonal reinforcement rod is set in each rectangular frame to improve the force safety. However, since it is only a two-dimensional rectangular frame structure and the height is 18 meters or 24 meters, the communication equipment needs to be installed on the top of the tower. The tower of this structure needs to be equipped with a guy wire at the bottom of the tower to ensure the overall force safety. However, due to the overall height and the H-type tower installed in the outdoor environment, the communication tower will have the risk of toppling if the guy wire becomes loose during long-term use. Because the tower is used for a long time and there are more windy days in the plateau area, the tower toppling incidents often occur. Through daily analysis of the health of the tower, according to the daily displacement data of the tower, the toppling trend can be judged, which is currently more valuable for prediction.

[0003] Due to the wide distribution range of communication towers, any two adjacent communication towers are far apart, especially in some remote areas, where the geological environment is more complex and it is difficult for personnel to effectively monitor. The only way to determine whether the communication tower has tilted is for the operator to conduct on-site monitoring of the communication tower during each patrol, which easily misses the best time for correction.

[0004] Some existing tower monitoring equipment requires manual inspection and measurement at each point after going to the station. It is not easy to find loose wires, and the faults of all-weather towers cannot be accurately and timely discovered and eliminated. In serious cases, it even threatens personal safety. The failure to monitor the tower in real time has led to the collapse of the tower, causing a lot of economic losses.

[0005] Existing monitoring devices for the inclination of communication towers, such as a monitoring device for communication tower inclination alarm and a communication tower inclination alarm device disclosed in CN202321330190.4, have a protective shell composed of a detachable top cover and a cylinder, which facilitates opening the protective shell to repair and replace its internal structure; the second conductive component is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder, so there is no need for precise installation requirements between the installation of the second conductive component and the cylinder, reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0006] It determines whether the communication tower is tilted by the change of the second conductive component 3 connected to the protection shell 1 relative to the protection shell 1. However, the results obtained by the device are difficult to transmit externally and cannot be used for tilt monitoring of communication towers in remote areas.

[0007] For example, CN 201610362951.2 discloses a real-time monitoring platform for the inclination of a power transmission line tower. The platform uses a liquid pendulum inclination sensor to monitor the real-time inclination of the tower. The contact switch sensor is located on the anti-tilt structure and is used to monitor obstacles in front of the power transmission line. The inspection robot is mounted on the power transmission line and is used to determine whether to send a corresponding alarm signal to a remote power supply management server based on the output of the liquid pendulum inclination sensor and the contact switch sensor. Through the present invention, accurate safety monitoring of the environment around the power transmission line can be performed to avoid power grid accidents.

[0008] However, the inspection robot included in the platform needs to be able to move on the transmission line, so it is not suitable for use in monitoring the inclination of communication towers that do not need to be connected by wires.

[0009] The information disclosed in the background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0046] The controller used in this embodiment is an existing structure, and the control circuit can be implemented through simple programming by technicians in this field. It belongs to the common knowledge in this field. It is only used without modification, so the control method and circuit connection are not described in detail.

[0047] The technical means that are not described in detail in this application and are not used to solve the technical problems of this application are all set according to the common knowledge in the field, and can be implemented in a variety of common knowledge settings.

[0048] See also Figure 1~2 The communication tower health monitoring and early warning method provided in this application includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S1: obtaining real-time verticality data of the top of the communication tower through an acceleration sensor installed on the top of the communication tower;

[0050] Step S2: Calculate the difference between the real-time verticality and the initial installation verticality as the offset, store the offset at each moment, and output the instantaneous maximum offset and the accumulated maximum offset starting from the 12th hour;

[0051] Step S3: Divide the risk level according to the instantaneous maximum offset and the accumulated maximum offset, and output alarm information according to the risk level.

[0052] This method can obtain the offset of the pole tower in real time, effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the alarm, and is particularly suitable for the maintenance of pole towers in marginal areas.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the offset = real-time measured verticality - initial installation verticality; wherein after the acceleration sensor is installed, an initial calibration is performed when the acceleration sensor is perpendicular to the same horizontal plane as the tower to obtain the initial installation verticality.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the instantaneous maximum offset calculation method is: take the i-th moment as the starting point, take the j-th moment as the timing end point, the i-th moment - the j-th moment is less than 12 hours, traverse the offsets of each moment from the i-th moment to the j-th moment, and select the largest offset value as the instantaneous maximum offset value at the j-th moment;

[0055] In a specific embodiment, the method for calculating the accumulated maximum offset is as follows: taking the i-th moment as the starting point and the j-th moment as the timing end point, the i-th moment - the j-th moment is less than 24 hours, traversing the offsets of each moment from the i-th moment to the j-th moment, and selecting the largest offset value as the accumulated maximum offset at the j-th moment.

[0056] The above method can avoid data comparison omissions and improve the reliability of alarm information.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the risk levels are divided into: special risk, first risk, and second risk for the tilt of the pole tower caused by weather factors; third and fourth risks are set for the cumulative deviation caused by long-term use of the pole tower.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the risk level threshold and treatment measures are:

[0059] Special risk: When the measured instantaneous maximum offset is ≥80cm, and the first-level risk alarm is issued more than 3 times in one day, the maintenance personnel will be notified to monitor on site;

[0060] Level 1 risk: When the measured instantaneous maximum offset is ≥80cm, notify the maintenance personnel to monitor the site the next day;

[0061] Level 2 risk: When the measured instantaneous maximum offset is ≥50cm and <80cm, notify the maintenance personnel to focus on the tower during periodic inspections;

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the risk level threshold and treatment measures are:

[0063] Level 3 risk: When the measured cumulative maximum offset is greater than 40cm and less than 50cm, it reminds maintenance personnel that there is a continuous offset and they need to pay more attention to the safety of the tower.

[0064] Level 4 risk: When the measured cumulative maximum offset is ≤40cm, maintenance personnel are only prompted to pay attention to the tower during daily maintenance.

[0065] The acceleration sensor technology first obtains the acceleration values ​​of the device's acceleration sensor in the X, Y, and Z directions, then converts the acceleration values ​​to get the tilt angle, and fixes the device to the top position of the H-shaped tower for communication to monitor the verticality of the tower top area in real time, thereby obtaining the offset.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the communication tower is an H-shaped tower for communication; the acceleration sensor is arranged on the outer sides of the opposite side walls of the top of the H-shaped tower.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the H-shaped pole tower for communication is usually a rectangular frame surrounded by 6 or 8 sections of 3-meter-long steel pipes; the height of the H-shaped pole tower for communication is 18 meters or 24 meters. By placing an acceleration sensor on the uppermost steel pipe and binding it, the inclination angle of the tower body is monitored in real time and the verticality is calculated, and the real-time alarm is used to improve the reliable monitoring of the safety of the pole towers distributed in a wide area.

[0068] Another aspect of the present application further provides a communication tower health monitoring and early warning device, comprising:

[0069] Multiple acceleration sensors are installed on the outside of the side wall of the top of the communication tower to obtain the verticality data of the tower in real time;

[0070] The central processing unit is used to calculate the difference between the real-time verticality and the initial installation verticality as the offset, store the offset at each moment, and output the instantaneous maximum offset and the accumulated maximum offset starting from the 12th hour;

[0071] The monitoring system is used to classify risk levels according to the instantaneous maximum offset and the accumulated maximum offset, and output alarm information according to the risk level.

[0072] The central processor is electrically connected to the monitoring system through the 4G communication module. By configuring the initialization status value and risk alarm threshold, it predicts the risk of real-time changing data. When the measured value exceeds the threshold, it immediately sends an alarm notification to the monitoring platform, which provides a good guarantee for the safe production operation of the communication base station.

[0073] When an alarm occurs, the system directly sends an alarm text message to the corresponding regional manager's mobile phone, and also sends an alarm text message to the monitoring center. This can effectively prevent the occurrence of hidden dangers and more efficiently ensure the safety of tower equipment. It can timely discover hidden dangers and implement them on the site to improve production safety. In the past, due to the lack of real-time monitoring methods, some towers with major hidden dangers were not perceived in advance, resulting in a large amount of economic losses caused by the collapse of towers. Therefore, this device effectively eliminates such losses, thereby improving production safety.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the monitoring system includes: a display module, a voice alarm module, an automatic SMS module, and a voice dialing module. The monitoring system is to comprehensively manage the device status, that is, the alarm is realized in real time.

[0075] A display module is used to display in real time the verticality and offset obtained by the acceleration sensors installed on each H-shaped tower;

[0076] Voice alarm module, used to issue voice alarm information in real time in the monitoring hall. The alarm information includes the location information and risk level information of special-level risk and first-level risk towers;

[0077] Automatic SMS module, used to send reminder SMS to preset mobile phone numbers of special risk, first risk, second risk, third risk, fourth risk tower location information, and risk level inspection and repair locations;

[0078] The language dialing module is used to automatically dial the preset mobile phone number and report the location information, offset and risk level of the special risk and first risk towers to the maintenance personnel through automatic voice, so as to notify the maintenance personnel to go to the station for maintenance.

[0079] In a specific embodiment, the central processing unit and the acceleration sensor are electrically connected through an I2C communication module to obtain the instantaneous maximum offset and the accumulated maximum offset after processing the acquired acceleration sensor data and the initial data. The acceleration sensor transmits the data to the processor in real time, and the processor performs data analysis.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, it includes: an RS-485 interface, and the acceleration sensor is electrically connected to the central processing unit through the RS-485 interface.

[0081] The interface uses a combination of a balanced driver and a differential receiver, which has enhanced common-mode interference resistance, that is, good noise interference resistance. The standard value of the maximum transmission distance is 4000 feet (about 1219 meters), and it can actually reach 3000 meters, which can effectively ensure data transmission to the FSU equipment.

[0082] First, the vertical offset angle is calculated using the acceleration value obtained from the acceleration sensor. Let the height be h and the offset distance be a. In a right triangle, h / a=tan[offset angle]. The tower height is a known quantity, so the offset distance can be calculated using the formula h / tan[offset angle].
