Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-altitude platform technology, and more specifically, to a large-span operating platform for a high-altitude meteorological gradient observation tower. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are various methods for atmospheric monitoring, ranging from the original weather balloons and aircraft detection to the current use of atmospheric monitoring devices installed on ultra-high meteorological gradient observation towers, such as 400-meter-high meteorological gradient observation towers, for long-term remote monitoring. Among these methods, setting up a high-altitude operating platform is a core facility for ensuring construction safety and improving operational efficiency during the construction, operation, and maintenance of the 400-meter-high towers and the installation and maintenance of monitoring equipment.

[0003] However, existing aerial work platforms have the following main drawbacks: Traditional operating platforms mostly adopt a "single tower section attachment + small span cantilever" structure, which has a small span and cannot meet the full-area operation requirements of large span towers. At the same time, under strong wind loads at high altitudes, conventional cantilever platforms are prone to large flutter and sway, posing significant safety hazards. Furthermore, the existing platform frames are mostly fixed in one piece by high-altitude welding, which is not only cumbersome and inefficient but also poses high safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a large-span operating platform for an upper-air meteorological gradient observation tower to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-span operating platform for an upper-air meteorological gradient observation tower to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

Multiple detachable secondary frame beams are installed between adjacent main frame beams, and detachable steel grating plates are installed on the upper end of each secondary frame beam.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the main column of the tower section is provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate has a plurality of fixing holes for connecting to one end of the main frame beam.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the steel grating pad is provided with multiple fixing ear plates, and the fixing ear plates are provided with multiple connecting holes for connecting with the upper end of the secondary frame beam.

The outer wall of the arc-shaped main rod is provided with multiple straight web members and diagonal web members. The other ends of the straight web members and the diagonal web members are also connected to the main column of the tower section or the main frame beam through the connectors.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector includes a mounting plate with multiple mounting holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective component includes: Multiple protective uprights are detachably installed on the outermost secondary frame beam, and multiple protective horizontal bars are provided between adjacent protective uprights.

[0012] Furthermore, a base plate is provided at the bottom of the protective pole, and the base plate has multiple bolt holes for connecting with the outer wall of the secondary frame beam.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the secondary frame beam are hinged with end connecting plates, and the end connecting plates are provided with multiple end connection holes for connecting with the main frame beam.

[0014] Furthermore, ribs are provided on the inner sidewall of the main frame beam at the positions corresponding to the arc-shaped main rod, the straight web member, and the oblique web member.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This solution uses a combination design of "multiple main frame beams + detachable secondary frame beams" and stable truss support components to achieve a large-span working surface, which can cover the full cross-sectional requirements of the tower segment and solve the problem of limited span of traditional platforms.

The main platform components, support components, and protective components are all detachable structural connections, eliminating the need for high-altitude welding. It can form a factory prefabrication + high-altitude assembly mode, which greatly simplifies the erection process, shortens the erection time, significantly improves construction efficiency, and greatly reduces risks, ensuring construction safety. In addition, it can be quickly disassembled and cleaned after the work is completed, and each component can be reused, reducing construction costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0017] 3. This solution can be adapted to high-altitude tower structures with different cross-sectional dimensions by adjusting the connection position of the main frame beam, the number of secondary frame beams, and the installation spacing of protective components. It is suitable for various high-altitude operation scenarios and has strong versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-10 A large-span operating platform for an upper-air meteorological gradient observation tower, comprising: Main platform component 2 is detachably mounted on the main column 1 of the tower section; Support component 3, one end of which is detachably connected to the main column 1 of the tower section, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the bottom of the main platform component 2; Protective component 4 is detachably installed on the upper part of main platform component 2; The main platform component 2 includes multiple main frame beams 201 that are detachably connected to the outer wall of each tower section main column 1. The main frame beams 201 extend from the four tower section main columns 1 to the four oblique angles of the tower body section to form an oblique large-span support frame. The main frame beams 201 can be made of H-beams. Multiple detachable secondary frame beams 202 are installed between adjacent main frame beams 201. The secondary frame beams 202 can be made of galvanized square steel pipes. A detachable steel grating pad 203 is installed at the upper end of the secondary frame beams 202. The steel grating pad 203 can be made of G325 / 30 / 100 type galvanized steel grating with raised anti-slip strips on the surface.

[0022] When installing the main platform component 2, multiple main frame beams 201 are connected to the outer wall of the main column 1 of each tower section, and then secondary frame beams 202 are installed between adjacent main frame beams 201. Finally, steel grating pads 203 are laid on the upper end of the secondary frame beams 202 to form a stable working surface, taking into account both load-bearing capacity and operational safety. The two ends of the support component 3 are installed and connected to the main column 1 of the tower section and the bottom of the main platform component 2, respectively. The support component 3 is used to bear the cantilever load of the main platform component 2. After that, the protective component 4 can be installed on the upper end of the main platform component 2 to form a fence, completing the overall assembly.

[0023] Through the combined design of "multiple main frame beams + detachable secondary frame beams", and with the stable truss support of the support components, a large-span working surface can be realized, which can cover the full cross-sectional requirements of the tower segment and solve the problem of limited span of traditional platforms. Moreover, with the cooperation of support component 3, the support of main platform component 2 is good, and the platform flutter and sway amplitude are small under strong wind loads, resulting in excellent structural stability and higher safety.

[0024] Through modular and detachable design, the main platform component 2, support component 3 and protective component 4 are all detachable structural connections, eliminating the need for high-altitude welding. This allows for a factory prefabrication + high-altitude assembly mode, greatly simplifying the erection process, shortening the erection time, significantly improving construction efficiency, and greatly reducing risks to ensure construction safety. In addition, after the work is completed, the components can be quickly disassembled and cleaned, and each component can be reused, reducing construction costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0025] In addition, by adjusting the connection position of the main frame beam 201, the number of secondary frame beams 202, and the installation spacing of the protective components 4, it can be adapted to high-altitude tower structures with different cross-sectional dimensions, adapting to various high-altitude operation scenarios and demonstrating strong versatility.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6-8 The outer wall of the main column 1 of the tower section is provided with a connecting plate 5, and the connecting plate 5 has multiple fixing holes 6 for connecting to one end of the main frame beam 201.

[0027] With this design, one end of the main frame beam 201 is fixed to the connecting plate 5 through the fixing hole 6 by fasteners such as bolts, so as to realize the detachable connection between the main frame beam 201 and the tower section main column 1; it can enhance the connection stability between the main platform component 2 and the tower section main column 1, greatly avoid displacement during high-altitude operations, and is easy to disassemble without damaging the tower section main column 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2-3 The bottom of the steel grating pad 203 is provided with multiple fixing ear plates 7, and the fixing ear plates 7 are provided with multiple connecting holes 8 for connecting with the upper end of the secondary frame beam 202.

[0029] With this design, after the steel grating pad 203 is laid, it is fixed to the upper end of the secondary frame beam 202 by bolts passing through the connecting holes 8, so as to realize the detachable installation of the steel grating pad 203. The connection of the steel grating pad 203 can make the steel grating pad 203 firmly installed and prevent slippage during high-altitude operations. The detachable design makes it easy to replace or maintain the steel grating pad 203 individually, without affecting the integrity of the main frame beam 201 and the secondary frame beam 202.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 6-7 Support component 3 includes: The arc-shaped main rod 301 is connected to the main column 1 of the tower section and the main frame beam 201 at both ends by connectors. The outer wall of the arc-shaped main rod 301 is provided with multiple straight web members 302 and diagonal web members 303. The other ends of the straight web members 302 and diagonal web members 303 are also connected to the main column 1 of the tower section or the main frame beam 201 by connectors.

[0031] Specifically, the arc-shaped main rod 301 adapts to the curved surface of the tower, and the straight web members 302 and the diagonal web members 303 work together to distribute the load, improve the deformation resistance of the support component 3, effectively share the cantilever pressure of the main platform component 2, enhance the overall stability of the platform, and better cope with high-altitude strong wind loads.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 9 The connector includes a mounting plate 9, which has multiple mounting holes 10.

[0033] With this design, the ends of the arc-shaped main rod 301, straight web rod 302, and diagonal web rod 303 are fixed to the mounting plate 9. Then, the mounting plate 9 is connected to the tower section main column 1 and the main frame beam 201 respectively by bolts passing through the mounting holes 10, so as to realize the detachable docking of each component. The multi-mounting hole design of the mounting plate 9 provides flexible connection points to adapt to the connection needs of different components, while facilitating quick disassembly and assembly, improving construction efficiency and reducing the risks of working at heights.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 5-6 The protective component 4 includes: Multiple protective uprights 401 are detachably installed on the outermost secondary frame beam 202. Multiple protective horizontal bars 402 are set between adjacent protective uprights 401 to form a closed edge protection fence. Both the protective uprights 401 and the protective horizontal bars 402 can be made of galvanized square steel pipes.

[0035] Specifically, the protective uprights 401 and the protective horizontal bars 402 form a three-dimensional protective structure, effectively preventing the risk of falls from heights; the detachable design adapts to the platform erection and dismantling process, does not affect the installation of other components, and can adjust the protection range according to operational needs.

[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 The bottom of the protective pole 401 is provided with a base plate 11, and the base plate 11 has multiple bolt holes 12 for connecting with the outer wall of the secondary frame beam 202.

[0037] This design allows the base plate 11 to be fixed to the outer wall of the secondary frame beam 202 by passing bolts through bolt holes 12, enabling the detachable installation of the protective pole 401; it also facilitates the individual disassembly and assembly of the protective component 4, improving maintenance convenience and ensuring the reliability of protection.

[0038] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 Both ends of the secondary frame beam 202 are hinged with end connecting plates 13, and the end connecting plates 13 are provided with multiple end connection holes 14 for connecting with the main frame beam 201.

[0039] This design allows the secondary frame beam 202 to be connected to the main frame beam 201 by bolts passing through the end connection hole 14. The hinged design allows the secondary frame beam 202 to be adjusted in angle to connect with the adjacent main frame beam 201. The articulated structure accommodates installation errors and improves assembly flexibility; the detachable design facilitates component transportation and replacement, reducing the difficulty of high-altitude operations.

[0040] Furthermore, the secondary frame beam 202 can be a multi-segment plug-in type, that is, the secondary frame beam 202 is composed of multiple beam plates with different length and width dimensions. The ends of the beam plates at both ends are connected to the end connecting plate 13, and the adjacent beam plates are slidably plugged into each other to form a shape similar to a telescopic rod. At this time, the length of the secondary frame beam 202 can be changed according to the needs to adapt to the connection between the main frame beams 201 in different positions, which is more flexible, better adapts the connection, and reduces installation difficulties caused by errors; and it can be reused multiple times, saving costs and resources.

[0041] Fastening bolts can be installed on the beam plate. When the secondary frame beam 202 is connected to the frame beam 201, the fastening bolts are used to fasten each section of the beam plate to improve stability.

[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 6-7 Ribs 15 are provided at the positions of the corresponding arc-shaped main members 301, straight web members 302 and diagonal web members 303 on the inner side wall of the main frame beam 201.

[0043] With this design, the rib plate 15 can effectively improve the shear strength and stiffness of the connection node between the main frame beam 201 and the support component 3, avoid node deformation or damage under long-term load, further enhance the connection stability between the support component 3 and the main platform component 2, and extend the service life of the platform.
