If the inclination of the iron tower exceeds a certain range, it may trigger safety accidents such as the collapse of the iron tower and line failures, threatening people's lives and property safety. Therefore, the research and application of an iron tower inclination detection and early warning device are particularly important;

The receiving cover is in a barrel shape, and a receiver is arranged at the bottom of the barrel shape of the receiving cover. A support frame is arranged on the hoop of the receiving component. One pair of opposite sides of the receiving cover are respectively hinged to the support frame, and the hinge points of the receiving cover are on the same horizontal plane;

[0004] The above comparative documents have the following problems:

[0005] (1) Since iron towers are mostly set in remote wild areas, the existing detection mechanisms will stop monitoring when there is no power, which undoubtedly increases the safety risk. At the same time, the monitoring method relying on traditional power may also lead to deviations in the detection data because the unstable power supply may affect the normal operation of the monitoring equipment;

[0006] (2) The real-time performance of this device is insufficient, which means that even if the iron tower starts to tilt, the device may take some time to detect this change. This delay may cause the problem to be ignored or miss the best time for timely response, increasing the risk of the collapse or damage of the iron tower and possibly leading to more serious consequences. Content of the Utility Model

In addition, they will stop monitoring when there is no power, which undoubtedly increases the safety risk. At the same time, the monitoring method relying on traditional power may also lead to deviations in the detection data because the unstable power supply may affect the normal operation of the monitoring equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The following will be combined with the attached Figures 1 to 4 The present utility model will be described in detail. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] The present utility model provides an iron tower inclination detection and early warning device through improvement, as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, it includes the iron tower body 1; a laser transmitter 2 provided at the lower part of the iron tower body 1; and a detection mechanism 9 provided below the iron tower body 1. Among them, the detection mechanism 9 includes: a base 301, which is installed on the ground through embedded bolts; a housing 302 provided above the base 301; a bracket 303 provided on the outer side of the housing 302, and the bracket 303 is inclined; a photovoltaic panel 304 is provided on the side of the bracket 303 away from the housing 302; a storage battery and an inverter provided in the housing 302; a receiving component provided above the housing 302, and the storage battery is electrically connected to the inverter and the receiving component.

[0026] It should be noted that since the existing detection mechanism 9 will stop monitoring when there is no power, this undoubtedly increases the safety risk; at the same time, the monitoring method relying on traditional power may also cause deviations in the detection data, because the unstable power supply may affect the normal operation of the monitoring equipment. This solution can achieve a sustainable and self-powered design, converting solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic panel 304 to ensure stable operation for a long time in the wild environment; in addition, the integrated laser transmitter 2 and receiving component in the device can establish a high-precision reference line for continuously monitoring the inclination change of the iron tower body 1. This high-precision monitoring method can timely detect the tiny changes of the iron tower body 1 and issue an alarm when the inclination exceeds the safety range. By realizing the sustainable self-powered design and high-precision monitoring, it can effectively reduce the safety risk, reduce the maintenance cost, and ensure the stable operation of the iron tower body 1 under harsh environmental conditions.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, this solution mainly includes the iron tower body 1; a laser transmitter 2 provided at the lower part of the iron tower body 1; and a detection mechanism 9 provided below the iron tower body 1. The laser transmitter 2 is installed at the lower part of the iron tower body 1, and the target of the laser beam it emits is to irradiate the receiving component above the housing 302 of the detection mechanism 9. The receiving component contains a laser receiver 403. When the laser beam accurately irradiates the laser receiver 403, the laser receiver 403 converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal. This electrical signal represents the distance between the laser transmitter 2 and the receiving component. When the iron tower body 1 tilts, this distance will change, and the electrical signal will also change accordingly.

[0028] The photovoltaic panel 304 is installed on the bracket 303 on the outer side of the housing 302, converting solar energy into direct current. The inverter converts the direct current into alternating current to charge the storage battery. The storage battery stores electrical energy and provides a stable power supply for the entire detection and warning device, ensuring that the device is not restricted by the power supply in the wild environment and can operate stably for a long time.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, asFigure 4 As shown, the receiving component includes a mounting base 401 disposed above the housing 302; a connecting rod 402 rotatable within the mounting base 401; and a laser receiver 403 provided on the connecting rod 402, with the laser receiver 403 disposed opposite to the laser emitter 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting base 401 is fixed above the housing 302, providing a stable platform. The connecting rod 402 is rotatably assembled within the mounting base 401, meaning the connecting rod 402 can freely rotate around an axis within the mounting base 401. The laser receiver 403 is provided on the connecting rod 402, and by rotating the connecting rod 402, the laser receiver 403 can be aligned with the laser emitter 2. The function of the laser receiver 403 is to receive the laser beam emitted by the laser emitter 2 and convert it into an electrical signal for subsequent processing.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, a screwing handle 5 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 402 extending outside the mounting base 401, and the screwing handle 5 is in threaded cooperation with the connecting rod 402.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the screwing handle 5 is rotated, it will move along the axial direction of the connecting rod 402. In this way, the user can finely adjust the position of the laser receiver 403 to ensure the best alignment between it and the laser emitter 2.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, a signal transmitter 6 and a controller 7 are provided on the top of the housing 302, and the controller 7 is electrically connected to the signal transmitter 6 and the detection mechanism 9.

[0034] In this embodiment, the signal transmitter 6 can receive the signal from the laser receiver 402 and convert it into a transmissible electrical signal. The laser receiver 402 continuously monitors the direction and intensity of the laser beam. Once it detects that the laser beam has deviated or the intensity has changed, it indicates that the tower body 1 may be tilted. The laser receiver 402 transmits this information to the signal transmitter 6, and the signal transmitter 6 converts the received information into an electrical signal. The controller 7 (MSP430) controls the signal transmitter 6 to send it to the monitoring center or receiving device through wireless transmission, so as to timely and accurately feedback the state of the tower body 1 and allow relevant personnel to obtain this information in real time, thereby quickly taking measures when the tilt just occurs, greatly reducing the risk of collapse or damage of the tower body 1, which is crucial for ensuring personnel safety and maintaining the integrity of the infrastructure.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, an anti-corrosion coating is sprayed on the outer surface of the housing 302.

[0036] In this embodiment, by spraying an anti-corrosion coating on the outer surface of the housing 302, the housing 302 can be effectively protected from the corrosion of the external environment, improving its durability and service life; at the same time, this also helps to maintain the aesthetics and functional integrity of the housing 302, ensuring that the inclination detection and warning device of the iron tower body 1 can work stably and reliably under harsh conditions.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1-3 shown, heat dissipation and dust-proof nets 8 are provided on both sides of the housing 302.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main function of the heat dissipation and dust-proof net 8 is to allow air circulation, thereby effectively dissipating the heat inside the housing 302. This helps to maintain a stable temperature inside the device, ensuring the normal operation of the components and preventing overheating; the heat dissipation and dust-proof net 8 can also effectively block dust and other external impurities from entering the inside of the housing 302, protecting the components inside the device from dust, extending the service life of the device, and reducing the frequency of maintenance.

[0039] Working principle: The laser emitter 2 of this device is installed at the lower part of the iron tower body 1, and its task is to emit a laser beam, aiming to irradiate the receiving component above the housing 302 of the detection mechanism 9. This setting allows a reference line to be established between the iron tower body 1 and the detection mechanism 9 by the laser beam;

[0040] The receiving component contains a laser receiver 403. When the laser beam accurately irradiates the laser receiver 403, the laser receiver 403 converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal, and this electrical signal reflects the distance between the laser emitter 2 and the receiving component;

[0041] The assembly seat 401 provides a stable rotating platform for the laser receiver 403. By rotating the screwing handle 5, the connecting rod 402 can move along its axial direction. This design allows the user to finely adjust the position of the laser receiver 403 to ensure the best alignment between it and the laser emitter 2;

[0042] The signal transmitter 6 can receive the signal from the laser receiver 402 and convert it into a transmissible electrical signal. The laser receiver 402 continuously monitors the direction and intensity of the laser beam. Once it detects a deviation or change in the intensity of the laser beam, it indicates that the tower body 1 may be tilted. The laser receiver 402 transmits this information to the signal transmitter 6, and the signal transmitter 6 converts the received information into an electrical signal. The controller 7 controls the signal transmitter 6 to send it to the monitoring center or receiving device through wireless transmission, so as to timely and accurately feedback the state of the tower body 1 and allow relevant personnel to obtain this information in real time, thereby quickly taking measures when the tilt just occurs, greatly reducing the risk of the tower body 1 collapsing or being damaged, which is crucial for ensuring personnel safety and maintaining the integrity of the infrastructure;

[0043] The photovoltaic panel 304 is installed on the bracket 303 outside the housing 302, converts solar energy into direct current, the inverter converts the direct current into alternating current to charge the battery, and the battery stores electrical energy to provide a stable power supply for the entire detection and warning device, ensuring that the device is not restricted by the power supply in the field environment and can operate stably for a long time.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
