Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication engineering construction, and in particular to an integrated reinforcement method for a communication three-tube tower. Background Art
[0002] In today's rapidly developing communications network, the stability of three-tube communication towers, as key infrastructure for transmitting and receiving communications signals, is crucial. With the continued growth of communications traffic and the continuous advancement of communications technology, many of the earlier-built three-tube communication towers are facing insufficient carrying capacity and are in urgent need of reinforcement and renovation.
[0003] Currently, common reinforcement methods for three-tube communication towers include adding guy wires and diagonal bracing. These traditional reinforcement methods can enhance tower stability to a certain extent and are relatively simple and easy to implement. However, in actual application scenarios, they expose numerous shortcomings that are difficult to ignore.
[0004] Site and cost constraints: In urban areas, land resources are scarce and expensive, and site space is extremely limited. On the one hand, property owners often have strict restrictions on site usage, and practical conditions often do not allow for excessive land occupation for tower reinforcement. On the other hand, some property owners charge rent based on floor space, which can significantly increase rental costs if excessive site occupation occurs. For example, in some busy commercial areas, if telecommunications operators increase site area due to tower reinforcement, they may have to pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in additional rent annually, which is extremely detrimental to cost control.
[0005] Special location restrictions: Some three-tube communication towers are located in unusual locations, such as rooftop edges. For example, traditional guying methods cannot be used for towers located near the rooftop due to a lack of space and reliable anchor points on the side away from the floor. Furthermore, towers located in complex terrain, such as mountainous areas or along narrow streets, are restricted by the surrounding environment and difficult to implement with diagonal bracing, leading to difficulties in reinforcing these towers.
[0006] Maintenance and safety hazards: Adding guy wires and bracing complicates the tower's surroundings, increasing the difficulty and cost of routine maintenance. For example, guy wires can affect lighting and accessibility in surrounding buildings. Furthermore, in adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds and heavy rain, guy wires and bracing can become loose or damaged, compromising the tower's effectiveness and posing a potential safety threat to nearby personnel and facilities.
[0007] In summary, the existing reinforcement method of communication three-tube towers has obvious shortcomings in terms of site limitations, cost control, and applicability to special locations. A new reinforcement method is urgently needed to solve these problems in order to meet the needs of safe and stable operation of communication infrastructure. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide an integrated reinforcement method for a communication three-tube tower to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for reinforcing a three-tube communication tower, comprising a reinforcing iron tower, a tower body connector, a foundation connector, and a reinforcing foundation: The reinforcement tower can be regarded as a small three-tube tower nested inside the original tube tower; The tower body connecting piece is composed of a number of angle steels or round tubes and is used to connect the original iron tower and the reinforced iron tower; The foundation connector is composed of two parallel H-shaped steels and is used to connect the reinforcement tower and the reinforcement foundation; The reinforcement foundation is a pile foundation or a rectangular foundation, which is used to ensure the anti-overturning stability of the reinforcement tower.
[0010] Preferably, a small three-tube tower is added inside the original three-tube tower, and a tower-in-tower structure is used to strengthen the three-tube tower.
[0011] Preferably, the newly added reinforcement tower has a base opening of about 2 / 3 of the base opening of the original tower and a height of about 2 / 3-5 / 6 of the height of the original tower. The specific values are determined by modeling and calculation based on the current status of the original tower.
[0012] Preferably, the tower body connecting pieces are connected to the original iron tower and the reinforced iron tower through tower body clamps, and are evenly arranged vertically up and down along the tower body.
[0013] Preferably, the reinforcement tower and the foundation connector are connected at the reinforcement tower column foot by bolts, and the width of the H-shaped steel flange plate is equal to or slightly larger than the width of the reinforcement tower column foot bottom plate.
[0014] Preferably, the tower body connector is connected to the reinforced foundation by anchor bolts; when the three-tube tower is a floor tower, the reinforced foundation is the wall or beam body of the building, and is anchored with chemical anchor bolts; when the three-tube tower is a ground tower, the reinforced foundation is a pile foundation or an underground continuous wall foundation.
[0015] Preferably, the material of the reinforcement tower is high-strength steel to ensure that the reinforcement tower has sufficient strength and stability during the load-bearing process.
[0016] Preferably, the tower body clamp adopts an adjustable structure, which can adapt to the main poles of the tower with different diameters. The fastening bolts of the clamp adopt anti-loosening nuts to ensure the reliability of the connection and reduce the risk of the clamp loosening due to factors such as vibration.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The integrated reinforcement method for the three-tube communication tower adopts a tower-in-tower structure, and a new fixed iron tower is added inside the original three-tube tower. Through the tower body connectors and the foundation connectors, a clear and efficient force transmission system is constructed. This allows part of the load borne by the original three-tube tower to be reliably transferred to the reinforced iron tower, and then dispersed to the reinforced foundation. After actual testing and simulation verification, after adopting this reinforcement method, the bearing capacity of the overall structure of the iron tower is significantly improved, which can effectively withstand natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes, ensure the stable operation of communication equipment, significantly reduce communication interruption failures caused by unstable iron towers, ensure the reliability of the communication network, and reduce the operation and maintenance costs and business losses of communication operators.
[0018] 2. This integrated reinforcement method for three-tube communication towers utilizes high-strength materials to ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity during long-term use. The connection points between the tower body and foundation connectors are optimized, utilizing high-strength bolts and reliable connection methods to ensure effective force transmission. The reinforcement foundation is specifically designed for different geological conditions. Through its own counterweight and the reverse friction of the foundation soil, it provides stable support for the tower and effectively enhances its anti-overturning ability. This series of measures not only ensures the safety of the tower during use but also reduces damage to the tower caused by structural stress concentration, thereby extending the tower's service life and reducing the cost of replacing communication infrastructure.
[0019] 3. This integrated reinforcement method for the three-tube communications tower allows for quick repair or replacement of damaged or aged components during tower operation, eliminating the need for extensive structural modifications. For example, if a tower connector becomes corroded or deformed, construction workers can simply loosen the clamp bolts to replace it. This simple and quick operation effectively reduces maintenance difficulty and costs, improves the tower's maintainability, and ensures the tower remains in excellent operating condition over the long term.
