Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication tower installation technology, and more specifically, to a tower straightening device. Background Technology

[0002] Communication towers are crucial infrastructure for mobile communication network construction. Among them, single-tube communication towers are widely used in urban communication base station construction due to their advantages such as small footprint, compact structure, and aesthetic appeal. With the rapid deployment of 5G communication networks and the continuous expansion of communication infrastructure construction, the number of single-tube communication towers is constantly increasing, placing higher demands on the safety, automation, and construction efficiency of tower installation and construction.

[0003] Existing single-tube communication towers are typically manufactured in multiple sections, transported to the construction site, and then lifted by cranes to the vicinity of the installation location. Installation personnel then climb to a high point on the tower and manually push, pull, or adjust the tower section's orientation to align and connect it with the main tower structure. This requires installation personnel to be in a high-altitude environment for extended periods, posing significant safety risks. Any operational errors could result in equipment damage or even personal injury. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a tower straightening device to solve the safety risks associated with long-term high-altitude operations for tower installers in the prior art.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a tower straightening device, comprising:

[0006] The mobile platform is capable of crawling along the surface of the tower.

[0007] The centering mechanism is used to clamp the tower section to be installed;

[0008] The rotating mechanism is installed on the moving platform, and the centering mechanism is installed on the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is used to drive the centering mechanism to rotate relative to the moving platform. The rotation axis of the centering mechanism is parallel to the height direction of the tower body.

[0009] Furthermore, the centering mechanism includes a first driving member and two opposing clamping members. Both clamping members are drivenly connected to the first driving member. The first driving member drives the two clamping members to move closer or further apart to clamp or release the tower section to be installed.

[0010] Furthermore, the tower straightening device also includes a fine-tuning component. The part of the centering mechanism that clamps the tower section to be installed is the clamping part, and the fine-tuning component is located in the clamping part. The fine-tuning component can move along the height direction perpendicular to the tower body to adjust the position of the tower section to be installed.

[0011] Furthermore, the fine-tuning component includes a slider and a drive unit. The slider is connected to the centering mechanism, and the drive unit includes a fine-tuning motor and a fine-tuning screw. The output shaft of the fine-tuning motor is connected to one end of the fine-tuning screw, and the fine-tuning screw is connected to the slider. The fine-tuning screw drives the slider to move so as to adjust the position of the tower section to be installed through the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating body, a connecting plate, a rotating motor, a transmission gear, and a first guide rail. The rotating body is fixedly mounted on the moving platform, the centering mechanism is mounted on the connecting plate, the rotating motor is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate and is driven by the transmission gear, the first guide rail is fixedly mounted on the rotating body, and the first guide rail has a sliding groove and meshing teeth. The connecting plate slides with the sliding groove, the transmission gear meshes with the meshing teeth, and the rotating motor drives the transmission gear to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate to slide within the sliding groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the mobile platform includes a mobile body and a mobile mechanism. The shape of the mobile body is adapted to the tower body. The rotating mechanism is fixedly installed on the mobile body or on the side of the mobile body away from the tower body. The mobile mechanism is connected to the mobile body and drives the mobile body to crawl along the surface of the tower body.

[0014] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes multiple magnetic moving parts and multiple second driving parts. The multiple magnetic moving parts are used to magnetically attract the tower body. The multiple magnetic moving parts are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the moving body. Each second driving part is driven to connect with a magnetic moving part. The second driving part drives the magnetic moving part to move, so as to drive the moving body to climb along the surface of the tower body.

[0015] Furthermore, the moving mechanism also includes multiple support wheels and multiple legs. The multiple legs are mounted on the moving body and are spaced apart along the circumference of the moving body. The multiple support wheels are used to abut against the tower body. Each leg is provided with a magnetic moving part and a support wheel, wherein the magnetic moving part and the support wheel are spaced apart along the extension direction of the leg.

[0016] Furthermore, the tower straightening device also includes a second guide rail and a slider. One end of the slider is connected to the moving body, and the other end of the slider is slidably engaged with the second guide rail. The second guide rail is fixedly connected to the moving mechanism. The slider drives the moving body to move along the extension direction of the second guide rail. Multiple legs can move closer to or further away from each other along the circumference of the moving body to adapt to towers with different radial dimensions.

[0017] Furthermore, the tower straightening device also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a level and a camera. Both the level and the camera are mounted on the mobile platform. The level is used to detect whether the tower section to be installed is tilted, and the camera is used to take pictures of the state after the tower body and the tower section to be installed are connected.

[0018] In this solution, a mobile platform capable of crawling along the tower surface is installed, enabling the tower alignment device to autonomously reach its installation position and move with changes in installation height. This solves the problem of manual climbing to high altitudes for alignment work in traditional installation methods. Furthermore, using the mobile platform as a support, the alignment and rotation mechanisms can be mounted on it and moved to the installation position along with the platform. This transfers position and attitude adjustments and alignment operations during tower section installation to mechanical devices, reducing the exposure time of workers at heights, minimizing safety risks such as falls and collisions during hoisting, and improving the safety of the communication tower installation process.

[0019] The centering mechanism is used to clamp the tower segment to be installed, ensuring its stability during adjustment and preventing positional shifts caused by hoisting sway, wind disturbance, or inertia. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism drives the centering mechanism to rotate relative to the moving platform, allowing the clamped tower segment to adjust its attitude in the circumferential direction for angular alignment. Compared to manual pushing for attitude correction, the solution in this application not only achieves more precise and stable attitude adjustment but also avoids the safety risks associated with manual operation.

[0043] The technical solutions in at least one embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. The following description of at least one embodiment is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit this application or its applications. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tower straightening device, including a moving platform 10, a centering mechanism 20, and a rotating mechanism 30. The moving platform 10 is capable of crawling along the surface of the tower. The centering mechanism 20 is used to clamp the tower section to be installed. The rotating mechanism 30 is mounted on the moving platform 10, and the centering mechanism 20 is mounted on the rotating mechanism 30. The rotating mechanism 30 is used to drive the centering mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the moving platform 10. The rotation axis of the centering mechanism 20 is parallel to the height direction of the tower.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting up a mobile platform 10 capable of crawling along the tower surface, the tower straightening device can autonomously reach the installation position on the tower and move with changes in installation height, thus solving the problem that in traditional installation methods, personnel must climb to high altitudes to perform centering operations. Furthermore, using the mobile platform 10 as a support base, the centering mechanism 20 and the rotating mechanism 30 can be mounted on the mobile platform 10 and move together with it to the installation position. This transfers the position adjustment, attitude adjustment, and centering operations during tower section installation to mechanical devices, reducing the exposure time of workers in high-altitude environments, minimizing safety risks such as falls from heights and collisions during hoisting, and improving the safety of the communication tower installation process.

[0046] The centering mechanism 20 is used to clamp the tower segment to be installed, ensuring its stability during adjustment and preventing positional shifts due to hoisting sway, wind load disturbance, or inertia. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 30 drives the centering mechanism 20 to rotate relative to the moving platform 10, allowing the clamped tower segment to adjust its attitude in the circumferential direction for angular alignment. Compared to manual pushing for attitude correction, the solution in this application not only achieves more precise and stable attitude adjustment but also avoids the safety risks associated with manual operation.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the centering mechanism 20 includes a first driving member 21 and two opposing clamping members 22. Both clamping members 22 are driven to be connected to the first driving member 21. The first driving member 21 drives the two clamping members 22 to move closer or further away from each other to clamp or release the tower section to be installed.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting two opposing clamping members 22, clamping forces can be applied simultaneously from both sides of the tower segment to be installed, forming a double-sided support structure during the clamping process. This reduces the swaying and offset of the tower segment and improves the reliability of its attitude control. Specifically, the first driving member 21 drives the two clamping members 22 to move closer together synchronously, allowing the clamping center to automatically approach the center position between the two clamping members 22. This ensures the coaxiality of the tower segment to be installed and the centering mechanism 20, improving the accuracy of subsequent centering and installation operations.

[0049] In addition, since the two clamping parts 22 can be opened and closed according to the outer diameter of the tower section to be installed, they have good size adaptability and can be compatible with the installation requirements of communication single-tube tower sections of different specifications and diameters, thus improving the versatility and applicability of the tower straightening device.

[0050] like Figure 3As shown, the tower body straightening device also includes a fine-tuning component 40. The part of the centering mechanism 20 that clamps the tower section to be installed is the clamping part. The fine-tuning component 40 is disposed in the clamping part. The fine-tuning component 40 can move along the height direction perpendicular to the tower body to adjust the position of the tower section to be installed.

[0051] In this embodiment, by providing a fine-tuning component 40 in the clamping part of the centering mechanism 20, the tower segment to be installed can be finely adjusted in position while being clamped, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments of the lifting position by a crane or manual correction, thereby improving installation efficiency. Since the fine-tuning component 40 can move in a direction perpendicular to the height of the tower body, it can fine-tune the installation deviation of the tower segment in the radial direction. When the lifting process is affected by factors such as equipment errors, sling sway, wind load disturbance, or tower manufacturing errors, the fine-tuning component 40 can correct the resulting positional offset in real time, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the tower segment's installation position.

[0052] In addition, the fine-tuning component 40 works in conjunction with the centering mechanism 20 and the rotating mechanism 30 to respectively realize the position clamping, radial fine-tuning and attitude adjustment of the tower section to be installed, so that the entire installation process has the ability to make precise adjustments with multiple degrees of freedom, thereby meeting the high-precision installation requirements of communication single-tube towers and improving the automation and intelligence level of tower installation operations.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the fine-tuning component 40 includes a slider 41 and a drive unit 42. The slider 41 is connected to the centering mechanism 20. The drive unit 42 includes a fine-tuning motor 421 and a fine-tuning screw 422. The output shaft of the fine-tuning motor 421 is connected to one end of the fine-tuning screw 422. The fine-tuning screw 422 is connected to the slider 41. The fine-tuning screw 422 drives the slider 41 to move, so as to adjust the position of the tower section to be installed through the slider 41.

[0054] In this embodiment, the transmission structure through the cooperation of the fine-tuning motor 421 and the fine-tuning screw 422 can convert the rotational motion of the fine-tuning motor 421 into the linear motion of the sliding member 41. In this way, when the tower section to be installed is in the clamping state, the sliding member 41 can drive the tower section to be installed to perform continuous and stable position correction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the tower section installation process.

[0055] like Figure 4As shown, the rotating mechanism 30 includes a rotating body 31, a connecting plate 32, a rotating motor 33, a transmission gear 34, and a first guide rail 35. The rotating body 31 is fixedly mounted on the moving platform 10. The centering mechanism 20 is mounted on the connecting plate 32. The rotating motor 33 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 32 and is drivenly connected to the transmission gear 34. The first guide rail 35 is fixedly mounted on the rotating body 31. The first guide rail 35 has a sliding groove 351 and a meshing tooth 352. The connecting plate 32 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 351. The transmission gear 34 meshes with the meshing tooth 352. The rotating motor 33 drives the transmission gear 34 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 32 to slide within the sliding groove 351.

[0056] In this embodiment, by setting a first guide rail 35 with a sliding groove 351 on the rotating body 31 and making the connecting plate 32 and the sliding groove 351 form a sliding fit relationship, a stable guiding support can be provided for the rotational movement of the centering mechanism 20. It can also limit the degree of freedom of the connecting plate 32 in the non-movement direction, reduce the swaying, wobbling and vibration phenomena generated during the rotation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the attitude adjustment process of the tower section to be installed.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the mobile platform 10 includes a mobile body 11 and a mobile mechanism 12. The shape of the mobile body 11 is adapted to the tower body. The rotating mechanism 30 is fixedly installed on the mobile body 11 or on the side of the mobile body 11 away from the tower body. The mobile mechanism 12 is connected to the mobile body 11 and drives the mobile body 11 to crawl along the surface of the tower body.

[0058] In this embodiment, by configuring the mobile body 11 to fit the shape of the tower, the mobile platform 10 can form a stable contact with the tower surface, thereby improving the adhesion stability of the tower straightening device on the tower surface and reducing the shaking and displacement generated during the operation of the tower straightening device. Furthermore, the mobile mechanism 12 drives the mobile body 11 to crawl along the tower surface, enabling the tower straightening device to move autonomously and automatically reach different installation positions according to installation requirements, thus reducing the intensity of manual high-altitude work and lowering the safety risks of high-altitude operations.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the moving mechanism 12 includes multiple magnetic moving parts 121 and multiple second driving parts. The multiple magnetic moving parts 121 are used to magnetically attract the tower body. The multiple magnetic moving parts 121 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the moving body 11. Each second driving part is driven connected to a magnetic moving part 121. The second driving part drives the magnetic moving part 121 to move, so as to drive the moving body 11 to climb along the surface of the tower body.

[0060] In this embodiment, by setting multiple magnetic moving parts 121 that can magnetically attract the tower body, the mobile platform 10 can be attached to the surface of the communication monotube tower, thereby providing the mobile platform 10 with a continuous and reliable attachment capability. This eliminates the need for additional external fixing devices to achieve a stable connection between the tower straightening device and the tower body, improving safety and reliability during high-altitude operations. Moreover, the multiple magnetic moving parts 121 are spaced apart circumferentially along the mobile body 11, allowing the magnetic attraction force to be distributed at multiple locations around the tower body, thus forming a multi-point support structure. This disperses the weight of the tower straightening device and the load generated during operation, reducing localized stress concentration, improving the contact stability between the mobile platform 10 and the tower body, and reducing the risk of the tower straightening device tilting, swaying, or detaching from the tower body during operation.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the moving mechanism 12 also includes multiple support wheels 122 and multiple legs 123. The multiple legs 123 are mounted on the moving body 11 and are spaced apart along the circumference of the moving body 11. The multiple support wheels 122 are used to abut against the tower body. Each leg 123 is provided with a magnetic moving part 121 and a support wheel 122. The magnetic moving part 121 and the support wheel 122 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the leg 123.

[0062] In this embodiment, by circumferentially arranging multiple support legs 123 on the mobile body 11, and by arranging a magnetic moving element 121 and a support wheel 122 on each support leg 123, a multi-point support structure is formed between the mobile platform 10 and the tower body. This structure can support and position the mobile body 11 from multiple directions, improving the force balance and overall stability of the mobile platform 10 on the tower surface and reducing the risk of tilting, swaying, or deviating during high-altitude operation. Moreover, the magnetic moving element 121 and the support wheel 122 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support leg 123, allowing the magnetic moving element 121 and the support wheel 122 to respectively undertake the attachment function and the support and guidance function, enabling the mobile platform 10 to maintain reliable adsorption capacity while possessing good rolling and walking performance.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the tower straightening device also includes a second guide rail 50 and a slider 60. One end of the slider 60 is connected to the moving body 11, and the other end of the slider 60 is slidably engaged with the second guide rail 50. The second guide rail 50 is fixedly connected to the moving mechanism 12. The slider 60 drives the moving body 11 to move along the extension direction of the second guide rail 50. Multiple support legs 123 can move closer or further away from each other along the circumference of the moving body 11 to adapt to towers with different radial dimensions.

[0064] In this embodiment, by setting the second guide rail 50 and the slider 60, the moving body 11 can be positioned along the extension direction of the second guide rail 50, thereby changing the relative positional relationship between the multiple legs 123. This enables the moving platform 10 to adapt to communication single-tube towers of different specifications and diameters, improving the versatility and applicability of the tower device.

[0065] In an embodiment not shown in this application, the movable body 11 has an arc-shaped groove on the side facing the slider 60. One end of the slider 60 slides into the arc-shaped groove, and the other end slides into the second guide rail 50. While the movable body 11 adjusts its position along the extension direction of the second guide rail 50, the relative positional relationship between the multiple support legs 123 can also be changed. When the movable platform 10 is installed on a tower with a larger diameter, the multiple support legs 123 extend outward; when the movable platform 10 is installed on a tower with a smaller diameter, the multiple support legs 123 retract inward.

[0066] Furthermore, the tower straightening device also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a level and a camera. Both the level and the camera are mounted on the mobile platform 10. The level is used to detect whether the tower section to be installed is tilted, and the camera is used to take pictures of the state after the tower body and the tower section to be installed are connected.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting up a level, the attitude state of the tower segment to be installed can be detected in real time, and the tilt information of the tower segment relative to the installation reference can be obtained. When the tower segment to be installed tilts during hoisting, clamping, or adjustment, the level can detect the tilt in time, thus providing a detection basis for subsequent position adjustment and attitude correction. At the same time, by setting up a camera on the mobile platform 10, images of the state after the tower body and the tower segment to be installed are docked can be acquired, which facilitates the judgment of whether the tower segment has been accurately docked and improves the installation quality inspection capability. Moreover, the camera can record and save key states during the installation process, realize the visual management of the installation process, and enable construction personnel to remotely view the installation status of the tower segment through the images acquired by the camera, without having to frequently climb to high altitudes for on-site inspection, thereby reducing the risk of high-altitude operations and improving construction safety.
