Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of control tower construction technology, specifically to a modular control tower structure and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] The air traffic control tower is the core command facility of an airport, playing a crucial role in aviation safety and operational efficiency. Its operational efficiency and reliability directly affect airport capacity, flight on-time performance, and passenger travel experience, making it an indispensable infrastructure of the modern air transport system. Traditional air traffic control towers are typically constructed on-site using reinforced concrete or steel structures, which has many shortcomings. These include long construction cycles, high costs, poor flexibility, significant impact from the construction environment, difficulties in maintenance and upgrades, and limited adaptability. They are also difficult to deploy quickly in certain areas or temporary airports (such as in disaster relief or military exercises), and cannot meet emergency air traffic control needs. The traditional construction model for air traffic control is no longer sufficient to meet the rapid development and diversified needs of the modern aviation industry in terms of efficiency, economy, and flexibility, urgently requiring innovative solutions to overcome these bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular shelter tower structure and its construction method. This tower structure solves the technical problems of long construction period, difficulty in maintenance and upgrading, and poor flexibility in the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A modular shelter tower structure includes a tower body, an equipment room, an observation room, a top platform, and antenna equipment. The tower body is located on the ground, and the equipment room protrudes circumferentially from the top of the tower body, with the inner cavity of the tower body communicating with the inner cavity of the equipment room. The observation room is located on top of the equipment room, and the top platform is located on top of the observation room. The antenna equipment is located on top of the top platform. The equipment room and the tower body are each assembled from several shelter units.

[0005] Preferably, a door is provided on one side of the tower body, through which personnel can enter and exit the tower body.

[0006] Preferably, an elevator and a staircase are provided inside the main body of the tower.

[0007] Preferably, the modular unit is provided with multiple expansion interfaces, and two adjacent modular units are fixedly connected by bolts passing through the corresponding expansion interfaces.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing element is provided between two adjacent modular units.

[0009] Preferably, the modular unit consists of a steel frame, insulation filler, inner skin, and outer skin. The steel frame and the insulation filler form a skeleton structure. The inner skin is fixedly installed on the inner side of the skeleton structure, and the outer skin is fixedly installed on the outer side of the skeleton structure.

[0010] Preferably, multiple window sash units are provided on the tower body and the equipment room.

[0011] A construction method for a modular shelter tower structure includes the following steps: Step 1: Site selection and foundation treatment. Based on construction requirements, plan the foundation at the designed location, level the site, and construct the tower foundation. Step 2: Factory prefabrication. Based on the design drawings, prefabricate the corresponding number and specifications of modular cabin units in the factory. Step 3: Transfer and delivery. The folded or disassembled modular units are transported to the site by vehicle. Step four, hoisting and assembly: The modular unit is hoisted into place according to the preset position using hoisting equipment and then assembled on site; Step 5: System connection. Connect internal cables, water pipes, and fiber optic network, and connect to the external power grid. Step six, debugging and acceptance, includes structural stability testing, equipment power-on debugging, network connectivity testing, and environmental simulation testing.

[0012] In this invention, both the equipment room and the main tower structure are assembled from several modular units. These modular units can be prefabricated in a standardized factory, eliminating the need for complex on-site processes such as rebar tying, concrete pouring, or steel structure welding. On-site work only requires assembling the modular units, greatly simplifying the construction process and significantly shortening the construction period.

[0013] The system adopts a modular modular design, with each modular unit being relatively independent and detachable via expansion interfaces. When maintenance or upgrades are required, specific faulty or aging modular units can be disassembled, repaired, or replaced individually without affecting the overall operation of the control tower, enabling flexible expansion and upgrades of functionality.

[0014] By modularly assembling the modular units, the number, specifications, and assembly methods of the units can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby achieving customized size and layout to adapt to the capacity requirements of different airports and site terrain conditions. The overall structure is detachable and relocatable. After the temporary scenario (such as disaster relief or military exercises) ends, the modular units can be disassembled, moved to other sites, and reassembled for reuse, achieving resource reuse.

[0015] Prefabrication of modular units in the factory can effectively control pollution during the production process. On-site assembly is only required, which significantly reduces construction noise and dust pollution, reduces complex high-altitude operations, and greatly improves construction safety.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The modular control tower structure shown includes a main tower body 1, an equipment room 2, an observation room 3, a top platform 4, and antenna equipment 5. The base of the main tower body 1 is located on the ground. During actual construction, main tower bodies 1 of different shapes, heights, and dimensions are assembled according to design requirements. Doors 7 are provided on one or more sides of the main tower body 1, allowing personnel to enter and exit. Multiple window units 10 are provided on the main tower body 1. Of course, various equipment can also be installed in the cavities within the main tower body 1.

[0018] Equipment room 2 protrudes circumferentially from the top of tower body 1, and the inner cavity of tower body 1 is connected to the inner cavity of equipment room 2; an elevator and stairs are installed inside tower body 1. Personnel move between tower body 1 and equipment room 2 via the elevator and / or stairs. Of course, depending on the number and weight of the equipment, as well as site constraints, other equipment rooms can be built on the ground or below equipment room 2, allowing for rapid expansion like building blocks. Multiple window sash units 10 are installed on equipment room 2.

[0019] The observation room 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the equipment room 2; the inner cavity of the observation room 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the equipment room 2 by a staircase, and personnel can look out from inside the observation room 3.

[0020] The top platform 4 is located on top of the observation room 3; the top platform 4 is connected to the interior of the observation room 3 via a staircase, allowing personnel to access the top platform 4 from the observation room 3 via the staircase. The antenna equipment 5 is fixedly installed on top of the top platform 4 and is used to receive signals, enabling electrical signal connection between the equipment located in the control tower and satellites or external equipment.

[0021] The equipment room 2 and the main tower 1 are each assembled from several modular units 6. The tower structure of different sizes is assembled according to construction requirements and site conditions.

[0022] Multiple expansion interfaces 8 are provided on the modular unit 6, and two adjacent modular units 6 are fixedly connected by bolts passing through the corresponding expansion interfaces 8. Of course, two adjacent modular units 6 can also be fixedly connected by welding.

[0024] The modular shelter unit 6 consists of a steel frame 60, insulation filler 61, inner skin 62, and outer skin 63. The steel frame 60 and insulation filler 61 form a skeleton structure. The steel frame 60 serves as a supporting structure, ensuring overall rigidity. The insulation filler 61 is made of polyurethane insulation material, increasing insulation and soundproofing capabilities. The inner skin 62 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the skeleton structure, and the outer skin 63 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the skeleton structure, providing good aesthetics and windproof, rainproof, and corrosion-resistant capabilities. The modular shelter unit 7 has different specifications and dimensions depending on its location.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The construction method of the modular shelter tower structure shown includes the following steps: Step 1: Site selection and foundation treatment. According to construction requirements, plan the foundation at the designed location, level the site, and construct the tower foundation. The tower foundation needs to be flat and able to ensure the stable installation of the tower body 1. Anchor bolts can be added to improve the connection stability of the tower body 1, or an installation groove adapted to the tower body 1 can be built.

[0026] Step two, factory prefabrication: According to the design drawings, the corresponding number and specifications of the modular cabin units 6 are prefabricated in the factory; the corresponding door panels 7 and window panels 10 are also made accordingly.

[0027] Step 3: Transfer and delivery. The folded or disassembled modular unit 6 is transported to the site by vehicle. Avoid bumps and deformation during transportation.

[0028] Step four: hoisting and assembly. The modular unit 6 is hoisted into position using lifting equipment and then assembled on-site. During assembly, the airtightness between adjacent modular units 6 is ensured. Door panels 7 and window panels 10 are installed simultaneously.

[0029] Step 5: System connection. Connect internal cables, water pipes, and network fiber optic cables, and connect to the external power grid.

[0030] Step six, debugging and acceptance, involves structural stability testing, equipment power-on debugging, network connectivity testing, and environmental simulation testing. Once the tests are passed, the equipment can be put into formal use.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the concept and implementation of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Under the concept of the present invention, technical solutions without substantial changes are still within the scope of protection.
