Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to a stability enhancement structure for angle steel of transmission towers and a method for monitoring its reliability. Background Technology
[0002] As a power infrastructure, transmission towers primarily support and protect transmission lines, directly determining the safety and stability of power supply. However, transmission towers are frequently subjected to natural disasters such as wind, rain, and snow. Furthermore, some towers, due to their long service life, corrosion of steel components, or human-caused factors (construction errors, vehicle impacts, etc.), have load-bearing capacities lower than their design capacity, failing to meet normal usage requirements. Therefore, stability enhancement measures are necessary. A 2016 report first proposed vigorously developing prefabricated steel structures. Developing and promoting prefabricated steel structure construction has significant practical implications for reducing energy consumption and achieving carbon neutrality. Therefore, inventing a prefabricated stability enhancement technology is of great importance.
[0003] Currently, existing stability improvement technologies typically employ on-site welding of angle steel. This method requires extensive on-site welding work, is technically challenging, and causes severe environmental pollution, exacerbating carbon emissions. Furthermore, since power transmission towers are located in the field, welding poses a significant fire hazard, potentially causing irreversible damage to natural resources. Simultaneously, welding inflicts various harms on the material itself, including decreased mechanical properties, deterioration of metallographic structure, geometric deformation, and residual stress.
[0004] In addition, traditional stability improvement methods require drilling holes in the material itself to facilitate bolt connections. Both reinforcing angle steel and main angle steel have bolt holes drilled on their two legs. Drilling holes in steel can easily cause stress concentration and strength reduction, thus affecting the strength of the structure itself. At the same time, a major problem with bolt connections is the loosening of bolt preload.
[0005] In addition, the most commonly used method at present is to increase the bearing capacity of the solid web section. However, the solid web section has a smaller moment of inertia and radius of gyration, and its mechanical properties such as buckling resistance, ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness and toughness are relatively poor.
[0006] Therefore, how to provide a stability enhancement structure for transmission tower angle steel and its reliability monitoring method is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0021] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a reliability monitoring method for a stability enhancement structure of an angle steel transmission tower is provided.
[0022] In one embodiment, the reliability monitoring method for the transmission tower angle steel stability enhancement structure includes:
[0023] Based on a preset interval, the bolt preload and surface pressure of the gasket-type pressure sensor and the thin-film pressure sensor are obtained to obtain several pressure data values;
[0024] Calculate the average of several pressure data values and use the calculated average as the average of the daily sensor monitoring data.
[0025] Based on the comparison results of the daily average sensor monitoring data with the preset working early warning value and working crisis value, the working status and corresponding handling strategy of the transmission tower angle steel stability improvement structure are determined.

[0039] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects:
[0040] 1) This invention uses bolts to connect and fix the D-shaped connector and the L-shaped connector, thereby avoiding on-site welding in the field. The construction steps are simple, safe, economical and efficient. The stability improvement device components can be replaced or repaired as needed through bolt connection, which is recyclable and green and energy-saving.
[0041] 2) This invention forms a lattice structure by tightly fitting the angle steel of the transmission tower with L-shaped and D-shaped connectors, which makes the material distribution more reasonable. The material arrangement is far away from the centroidal axis of the cross section, increasing the moment of inertia and radius of gyration of the cross section. Compared with the traditional solid web enlargement method, it can better avoid the instability of the components and greatly improve its load-bearing capacity.
[0042] 3) The lattice stability enhancement technology of the present invention uses a cross section that increases the ultimate bearing capacity of a solid web cross section by about 13.3% compared with the same material usage, while also improving stiffness and ductility.
[0043] 4) The L-shaped and D-shaped connectors of the present invention have a connection gap at the connection point. The L-shaped and D-shaped connectors and the transmission tower angle steel are tightly combined into a whole by the bolt pre-tightening force, which greatly improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the transmission tower angle steel.
[0044] 5) The gasket-type pressure sensor in the M16 high-strength bolt of the present invention can monitor the bolt preload in real time, which can prevent the device from failing due to bolt loosening.
[0045] 6) The present invention uses a thin-film pressure sensor between the D-shaped connector and the two flanges of the angle steel of the transmission tower to obtain the tightness of the internal fit of the stability improvement device in real time, so as to achieve the working status early warning effect.
[0046] 7) The reliability monitoring method of the present invention analyzes the real-time monitoring data of the pressure sensor to divide the working status of the stability improvement device into normal working status, early warning status and emergency crisis status, so as to take corresponding measures according to the real-time working status to ensure that it can work normally.

[0097] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, the following further describes the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention from the perspectives of architecture and principle, as follows:
[0098] This invention proposes a stability enhancement technology and reliability monitoring method for transmission tower angle steel. It ensures stability enhancement without power outages, employing a bolt-assembly stability enhancement method that achieves zero-welding operation. The construction process is simple, offering advantages such as safety, economy, and efficiency. It also avoids drilling holes in the main angle steel material, preventing stress concentration and preserving the strength of the main angle steel. Furthermore, this invention uses gasket-type and thin-plate-type pressure sensors to monitor the bolt tightness in real time during the stability enhancement device's operation, solving the traditional problem of unload due to loose bolt preload. It also divides the working state into intervals, enabling real-time monitoring of the working state. This invention employs a lattice-section stability enhancement method. The lattice section allows for a more rational material distribution, positioning the material away from the centroidal axis of the section, increasing the moment of inertia and radius of gyration. Transmission tower materials are all slender angle steel (compression members), and their load-bearing capacity mainly depends on overall stability, which is directly proportional to the square of the radius of gyration. Therefore, under the same steel usage conditions, compared to the traditional solid-web enlargement method, this method better prevents component instability and significantly improves load-bearing capacity.
[0099] Example 1
[0100] A stability enhancement structure for transmission tower angle steel includes:
[0101] D-shaped connector 1 is prefabricated and welded in the factory using C-shaped equal-limb angle steel and straight steel plate. The thickness of both the C-shaped equal-limb angle steel and the straight steel plate is consistent with the thickness of the transmission tower angle steel 3. High-entropy alloy is used. D-shaped connector 1 has a single row of bolt holes 8 on both sides along its length. The bolt holes are in groups of three. The bolt holes are 20mm standard round holes with a spacing of 60mm. The bolt holes are 30mm from the edge of the steel plate. The spacing between each group of bolt holes is 210mm.
[0102] The thickness of L-shaped connector 2 is consistent with that of the angle steel 3 of the transmission tower. It is made of high-entropy alloy. The bending angle of the end of L-shaped connector 2 is 135 degrees and the width of the bent part is 60mm. It is connected to D-shaped connector 1 by bolt 4 (M16 high-strength bolt). The high-strength bolt is arranged with the same holes as D-shaped connector.
[0103] A 2-3mm gap is left between the D-shaped connector 1 and the end edge of the transmission tower angle steel 3. This gap is compacted by the pre-tightening force of the bolts, thereby assembling the transmission tower angle steel 3 with the D-shaped and L-shaped connectors into a lattice-like whole. This arrangement of materials away from the centroidal axis of the cross-section increases the moment of inertia and radius of gyration of the cross-section, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the transmission tower angle steel.
[0104] Three M16 high-strength bolts are arranged in a group with a bolt spacing of 60mm. Each group is spaced 210mm apart. Every five groups of high-strength bolts, a gasket-type pressure sensor 5 is installed in the middle bolt. The gasket-type pressure sensor 5 is spaced 1980mm apart. The sensor is a 40mm×40mm rectangle with a thickness of 5mm. The pressure sensor values can monitor the tightness of the bolts and prevent loosening that could lead to device failure.
[0105] A thin-film pressure sensor 6 is arranged between the D-shaped connector 1 and the angle steel of the transmission tower 3. It is located at the same horizontal height as the gasket pressure sensor. The value of the thin-film sensor can assess the tightness of the fit between the stability improvement device and the angle steel of the transmission tower.
[0106] Both the pad-type pressure sensor 5 and the thin-film pressure sensor 6 employ wired transmission. A real-time reliability monitoring and analysis system 9 is installed on the lowest transverse diaphragm of the transmission tower. The real-time reliability monitoring and analysis system 9 includes an energy supply module, a data acquisition module, and a data processing module. The energy supply module includes a solar panel, a charging controller, and a battery to provide energy to the system. The data acquisition module includes a cluster of pad-type pressure sensors and a cluster of thin-film pressure sensors, which transmit data to the data processing module in real time via wired transmission. The data processing module includes a data computer (receiving, classifying, and processing), a data transmission network card, and a user remote analysis terminal, used to process real-time data and evaluate the reliability of the device.
[0107] The data acquisition module transmits data to the data processing module in real time via wired transmission, while the data transmission network card transmits data to the user's remote analysis terminal via wireless transmission for data analysis.
[0108] The D-shaped connector 1 has a 10mm diameter cable routing hole 7 for leading the data cable of the thin-film pressure sensor 6 out from inside the stability enhancement device. The sensor data cable is led out along the reserved cable routing hole and runs along the tower leg to the real-time reliability monitoring and analysis system 9.
[0109] When the stability enhancement device is operating normally under preload, the sensor monitors the initial normal data F0. F0 is the initial value without loss during normal operation. The pad-type pressure sensor and the thin-plate pressure sensor transmit data to the real-time reliability monitoring and analysis system every half hour, forming a pressure data value F. i Each sensor generates 48 pressure data values per day. The user analysis terminal will then analyze the daily pressure data values. i Statistical analysis was conducted, and data was collected continuously for 30 calendar days to obtain the early warning value F for the stability enhancement device. y Work Crisis Value F w Specifically: Outliers are removed using the interquartile range method. The remaining n pressure data values F are then processed. i The statistical average is obtained by averaging the daily data. j Statistical calculations were performed on a sample of 30 calendar days to obtain the expected value F. μ and standard deviation F σ Thus, the work warning value F is obtained. y Work Crisis Value F w After 30 calendar days, the average daily sensor monitoring data F is obtained using this method. s .
[0110] The formula for calculating the work warning value is:
[0111] F y =F0-3F σ
[0112]
[0113] The formula for calculating the job crisis value is:
[0114] F w =F0-8F σ
[0115] In the formula, F y F0 is the initial value for normal operation without loss, and F is the warning value for work. σ Here, n represents the standard deviation, and F represents the pressure data value. j For the average value, F μ F is the expected value. i For pressure data values, F w This is a work-related crisis value.
[0116] By analyzing real-time monitoring data through pressure sensors, if the average daily sensor monitoring data F j >F y The stability enhancement device is in normal working condition; if F w <Daily sensor monitoring data average F j ≤F yThe stability enhancement device is in an early warning state, at which time it should be monitored more closely and closely monitored; the daily average value of sensor monitoring data F j ≤F w The stability enhancement device is in a critical emergency state. The sensor loss values have exceeded the safe range, and it is necessary to repair and control the loss points in a timely manner.
[0117] The angle steel components of transmission towers are primarily susceptible to buckling failure under compression. The prefabricated lattice-type stability method provided by this invention utilizes high-strength bolts to tightly enclose the angle steel of the transmission tower with L-shaped and D-shaped connectors to form a lattice-type cross-section. This results in a more rational distribution of material within the cross-section, with the material positioned away from the centroidal axis of the cross-section, increasing the moment of inertia and radius of gyration, thus significantly enhancing the buckling resistance of the transmission tower angle steel and strengthening its load-bearing capacity. The operational status monitoring method analyzes sensor data in real time, divides operational status intervals, and comprehensively evaluates the real-time operational reliability of the lattice-type stability enhancement device.
[0118] Example 2
[0119] A stability enhancement structure for transmission tower angle steel includes:
[0120] Both the D-shaped connector 1 and the L-shaped connector 2 have a single row of bolt holes 8 on both sides along their length. The bolts are arranged at equal intervals, with a bolt hole spacing of 100mm and the bolt holes being standard 20mm round holes.
[0121] Bolts 4 (M16 high-strength bolts) are arranged at equal intervals of 100mm. Gasket-type pressure sensors 5 are evenly arranged at intervals of 3300mm. The sensor specifications are 40mm×40mm rectangles with a thickness of 5mm. The pressure sensor values can monitor the tightness of the bolts and prevent loosening from causing the device to fail.

[0125] Example 3
[0126] A stability enhancement structure for transmission tower angle steel includes:
[0127] D-shaped connector 1 is prefabricated and welded in the factory using C-shaped equal-limb angle steel and straight steel plate. The thickness of D-shaped connector 1 and L-shaped connector 2 is the same as that of 10mm, and the material is Q355.
[0128] When assembled using M16 high-strength bolts, there is no gap between the D-shaped connector 1 and the end edge of the transmission tower angle steel 3. The M16 high-strength bolts are used to assemble the D-shaped connector 1, L-shaped connector 2, and transmission tower angle steel 3 into a lattice-type stability-enhancing section, making the material arrangement more rational and increasing the section's moment of inertia and radius of gyration. This increases the load-bearing capacity of the transmission tower angle steel.
[0129] The remaining structure is consistent with the structure disclosed in Example 1.
[0130] This invention is not limited to the structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this invention is limited only by the appended claims.
