[0027] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, a ladder 3 is provided on the monitoring tower for offshore shore use, the ladder 3 is installed by positioning the ladder 3 on the outside of the steel column 2 by screws, and then the top of the ladder 3 is extended to the outside of the top of the installation platform 5, so that maintenance personnel can climb to the outside of the top of the installation platform 5 through the ladder 3 in the later stage, and then the monitoring equipment installed on the top of the installation platform 5 can be repaired and inspected, which is more practical. In addition, by providing a guardrail 4 on the outside of the ladder 3, the guardrail 4 can be used to protect the climbing maintenance personnel from falling and falling, so as to avoid the maintenance personnel from falling due to slipping when climbing.

[0028] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The top of the ladder 3 extends through and out to the top outside of the installation platform 5. The guardrail 4 extends to the top outside of the installation platform 5. In this way, when the maintenance personnel perform maintenance and inspection on the monitoring equipment installed on the top of the installation platform 5, they only need to climb the ladder 3 to move to the top outside of the installation platform 5, and then they can perform maintenance and inspection on the monitoring equipment on the top of the installation platform 5, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0029] The guardrail 4 may be in a semicircular shape, a semirectangular shape, or other regular or irregular shapes. For example, in some embodiments, the guardrail 4 includes a plurality of guard units arranged in parallel and at equal intervals. The plurality of guard units are all in a semicircular shape.

[0030] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a protection chain 13. The protection chain 13 is arranged at the top of the ladder 3. In this way, by adding the protection chain 13, the safety protection of the maintenance personnel is further enhanced.

[0031] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a railing 6. The railing 6 is arranged on the outer periphery of the top of the installation platform 5. In this way, by adding the railing 6, the railing 6 can be used to protect the maintenance personnel from falling and falling when they are on the installation platform 5.

[0032] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a positioning seat 14 and a sliding seat 15. The inner end of the guardrail 4 is fixed with the positioning seat 14 by screws, and the positioning seat 14 has the same height as the guardrail 4. The inner end of the positioning seat 14 is slotted and penetrated to slide the sliding seat 15, and the outer end of the sliding seat 15 is welded with a collar. The collar is used for maintenance personnel to install the safety rope on the outer side of the sliding seat 15 through the collar when climbing the ladder 3.

[0033] In the above embodiment, by adding a positioning seat 14 and a slide 15, the positioning seat 14 is installed on the inner end of the guardrail 4 through a row of positioning bolts, and then a groove is cut in the inner end of the positioning seat 14 and the slide 15 is slidably installed therethrough. At the same time, a ring is welded and installed on the outer end of the slide 15. When the maintenance personnel climb the ladder 3, the safety rope can be installed on the outer side of the slide 15 through the ring, and the climbing limit can be set for the personnel while the personnel climb the ladder 3.

[0034] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 7 The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a limit block 16 and a squeeze spring 18. The limit block 16 is rotatably mounted in a groove at one end of the slide 15. The squeeze spring 18 is arranged in the groove inside the slide 15, and the outer end of the squeeze spring 18 is connected to the limit block 16.

[0035] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 7 The limiting block 16 is in an arc shape, and a row of limiting grooves 17 is corresponding to the outer end of the limiting block 16 , and the row of limiting grooves 17 is arranged on the inner wall of the positioning seat 14 at equal intervals.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the limit block 16 is installed by rotating it through the squeeze spring 18 by using the groove on the outer end of the slide seat 15, and then a row of limit grooves 17 are provided on the outer side of the limit block 16. The limit block 16 can be moved up as the maintenance personnel climb up. At this time, the squeeze spring 18 will eject the limit block 16 into the row of limit grooves 17 in sequence through its own elastic force. At this time, the limit block 16 can be slidably limited to avoid the limit block 16 from sliding sideways and falling off while moving up, thereby improving the climbing stability of the maintenance personnel and the climbing safety of the tower.

[0037] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 7The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a rotating shaft 19. The internal slot of the limit block 16 is connected with the rotating shaft 19, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 19 extends to the outer side of the sliding seat 15.

[0038] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 7 The monitoring tower for offshore shore also includes a torsion spring 20. The outer side of the rotating shaft 19 is wound with the torsion spring 20, and the outer side of the torsion spring 20 is connected to the limit block 16.

[0039] In the above embodiment, a rotating shaft 19 is rotatably installed by passing a torsion spring 20 through an internal groove of the limit block 16, and then the outer end of the rotating shaft 19 is extended to the outside of the slide 15. When the slide 15 is reset and lowered at a later time, it is only necessary to manually rotate the rotating shaft 19 to drive the limit block 16 to separate from the limit groove 17. At this time, the slide 15 can be driven to reset and lower inside the positioning seat 14, and the operation is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0040] The monitoring equipment at the top of the installation platform 5 can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this. For example, in some embodiments, the monitoring tower for shore-based offshore also includes a first connecting rod 7, a radar 8, a second connecting rod 9, a third connecting rod 10, a camera 11 and a lightning rod 12. The first connecting rod 7, the second connecting rod 9 and the third connecting rod 10 are arranged at the top of the installation platform 5. The radar 8 is installed at the top of the first connecting rod 7. The lightning rod 12 is installed at the top of the second connecting rod 9. The camera 11 is installed at the top of the third connecting rod 10. In this way, maintenance personnel can reach the installation platform 5 by climbing the ladder 3, and then they can perform maintenance and inspection on the monitoring equipment such as the radar 8, the camera 11 and the lightning rod 12 at the top of the installation platform 5.

[0041] The following is a detailed description of the use of the shore-based offshore monitoring tower with reference to several specific embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, when the maintenance personnel perform maintenance and inspection on the monitoring equipment installed on the top of the installation platform 5, they only need to climb the ladder 3 and move to the outside of the top of the installation platform 5, and then they can perform maintenance and inspection on the radar 8, camera 11 and lightning rod 12 installed on the top of the installation platform 5, which is more time-saving and labor-saving. In addition, a row of guardrails 4 arranged at the outer end of the ladder 3 can protect the climbing maintenance personnel from falling.

[0044] When the maintenance personnel climb the ladder 3, they tie the safety rope to the ring position set at the outer end of the slide 15. Then, when the maintenance personnel climb, the safety rope will drive the slide 15 to move at the inner end of the positioning seat 14 through the ring. When the slide 15 moves upward, the extrusion spring 18 will use its own elastic force to pop out the limit blocks 16 into a row of limit grooves 17 in sequence. At this time, the slide 15 can be limited in its upward movement, which prevents the slide 15 from loosening and falling while moving upward in the later stage, thereby improving the safety of tower climbing.

[0045] Embodiment 2 is different from embodiment 1 in that the ascending slide 15 can be reset and descended, which saves time and effort.

[0046] The inner slot of the limit block 16 is connected with a rotating shaft 19, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 19 extends to the outside of the slide seat 15. The outer side of the rotating shaft 19 is wound with a torsion spring 20, and the outer side of the torsion spring 20 is connected with the limit block 16.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, when the staff needs to climb the ladder 3 and descend to the ground, they only need to manually rotate the shaft 19 to drive the limit block 16 to rotate, so that the limit block 16 is separated from the limit groove 17. At this time, the slide 15 can slide through the inner end of the positioning seat 14 and descend. Finally, the elastic force of the torsion spring 20 can be used to elastically reset the position of the shaft 19 after rotation, so that the slide 15 can be repeatedly slid and used later, and the operation is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0048] It should be noted that the combination of the various technical features in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the combination recorded in the embodiments of the present invention or the combination recorded in the specific embodiments, and all technical features recorded in the present invention can be freely combined or combined in any way unless there is a contradiction between them.
