Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of tower reinforcement, and relates to a single-tube tower reinforcement device in the fields of communication base stations, power transmission lines, etc. Background Art
[0002] Single-tube towers are widely used worldwide for communication base stations, power transmission lines, and other applications due to their simple, aesthetically pleasing design, small footprint, and relatively low cost. However, due to their slender shape, single-tube towers often face significant lateral loads, especially in extreme weather conditions such as severe storms or earthquakes, where they risk bending, deformation, and even collapse. Therefore, single-tube towers installed in harsh environments and those that have been in operation for a long time require reinforcement.
[0003] At present, the main methods of strengthening single-tube towers are as follows: (1) Cables: Cables are installed at different heights on the tower body to connect the tower body to the ground fixed points to form additional support. Composite fibers are used for winding to increase its cross-sectional area. However, cable construction usually requires precise calculation and positioning, and the construction process is relatively complicated. For example, in strong storms or when covered by ice and snow, the performance of the cables will decline and cause damage. Composite fiber winding is costly and complex to construct, and requires professional winding personnel to carry out the construction, otherwise it will affect the reinforcement effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the problem of strengthening the existing single-tube tower and improving durability, and further solve the problem of complex construction and high cost, the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application includes:
[0005] Columns, a plurality of the columns are vertically distributed around the single-tube tower;
[0006] The support frame includes a curved plate, a first support plate and a second support plate. One side surface of the curved plate is formed into a first concave curved surface. The first support plate and the second support plate converge toward the column from both sides of the curved plate with gradually decreasing mutual spacing, and are connected at the ends of the two support plates, and the ends are formed into a second concave curved surface.
[0007] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, a supporting frame has a first concave curved surface that supports the surface of the single-tube tower, and a second concave curved surface that supports the surface of a column, so that the supporting frame is fixed between the single-tube tower and the column.
[0008] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, several of the support frames are arranged in the same height area of the column to form a support frame group in the same height area; several of the support frame groups are arranged in different height areas of the column.
[0009] According to some embodiments of the present application, the single-tube tower reinforcement device further includes a reinforcement beam connected between two adjacent columns.
[0010] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, several of the reinforcement beams are arranged in the same height area of the columns, and the columns distributed vertically around the single-tube tower are interconnected to form a transverse reinforcement frame; several of the transverse reinforcement frames are arranged in different height areas of the columns.
[0011] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the support frame group and the transverse reinforcement frame are spaced apart at different height areas of the column.
[0012] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the columns include four, the support frame group includes four support frames, the transverse reinforcement frame includes four reinforcement beams, and the transverse reinforcement frame is shaped into a rectangle.
[0013] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the support frame includes at least two groups of first support plates and second support plates; the groups are arranged at different height areas of the curved plate, and there is a certain gap between the groups.
[0014] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the support frame includes two groups of first support plates and second support plates.
[0015] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the columns include four, the support frame group includes four support frames, the transverse reinforcement frame includes four reinforcement beams, and the transverse reinforcement frame is shaped into a rectangle.
[0016] According to the single-tube tower reinforcement device in some embodiments of the present application, the column is a stainless steel column, the support frame is a stainless steel support frame, the reinforcement beam is a stainless steel reinforcement beam, the first concave curved surface is welded to the surface of the single-tube tower, and the second concave curved surface is welded to the surface of the column.
[0017] Beneficial Effects: In the single-tube tower reinforcement device of the present invention, one side of the curved plate of the support frame is formed into a first concave curved surface. The first and second support plates, extending from opposite sides of the curved plate, gradually decrease in spacing as they converge toward the column. The ends of the two support plates are connected, thereby forming a triangular support frame, allowing one support frame to be fixed between the single-tube tower and a column. Based on this solution, the triangular support frame structure of the present invention can disperse force in all directions, thereby reducing local stress concentration in the single-tube tower and enhancing overall stability.
[0018] The utility model uses four support frames to surround the single-tube tower in a circle. The vertices of the triangular support frames are connected to the reinforcement columns. Each support frame corresponds to a support column. When the single-tube tower is subjected to external force, the various parts can transmit force to each other and jointly withstand pressure or tension, which can avoid damage to a single component due to excessive force and improve the durability of the entire device.
[0019] The utility model provides a transverse reinforcement beam between the four support columns. The reinforcement beam increases the rigidity and strength of the structure, prevents bending and deformation, and makes the entire device more solid and reliable. The triangular support frame, support columns, and reinforcement beam of the utility model can be made of stainless steel and fixed by welding, making the overall structure more solid.
[0020] The single-tube tower reinforcement device of this invention utilizes only the aforementioned columns, support frame, and reinforcement beams, fixedly connected by welding or other means, to achieve reinforcement assembly, making construction easy and cost-effective. Compared to the complex construction of cable-stayed reinforcement, this device is much easier to construct. Compared to composite fiber winding, this device achieves stable reinforcement through structural coordination, and its components can be made of low-cost materials such as stainless steel, resulting in a lower cost.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar numbers throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the single-tube tower reinforcement device includes a column 100 and a support frame 200. Figure 1-3 As shown, several of the columns 100 are vertically distributed around the single-tube tower 400. Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 200 includes a curved plate 210, a first support plate 220, and a second support plate 230. One side of the curved plate 210 is formed into a first concave curved surface 211. The first support plate 220 and the second support plate 230 converge toward the column 100 from both sides of the curved plate 210 with gradually decreasing spacing between them. The two support plates are connected at their ends, which are formed into a second concave curved surface 240. Figure 1-3 As shown, the first concave curved surface 211 of the support frame 200 supports the surface of the single-tube tower 400, and the second concave curved surface 240 supports the surface of the column 100, so that the support frame 200 is fixed between the single-tube tower 400 and the column 100.
[0033] In the present invention's single-tube tower reinforcement device, one side of the curved panel 210 of the support frame 200 is formed into a first concave curved surface 211. The first and second support panels 220, 230, extend from either side of the curved panel 210, gradually decreasing in spacing as they converge toward the column 100. The ends of the two support panels are connected, thus forming a triangular support frame 200 that secures one support frame 200 between the single-tube tower 400 and one column 100. Based on this solution, the present invention utilizes a triangular support frame 200 structure to disperse force in all directions, thereby reducing local stress concentration in the single-tube tower 400 and enhancing overall stability.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, the single-tube tower reinforcement device also includes a reinforcement beam 300 connected between two adjacent columns 100. The reinforcement beams increase the rigidity and strength of the structure, preventing bending deformation and making the entire device more secure and reliable. Several reinforcement beams 300 are arranged at the same height of the columns 100, interconnecting the columns 100 vertically surrounding the single-tube tower 400 to form a transverse reinforcement frame. Several of these transverse reinforcement frames are arranged at different heights of the columns 100. This enhances the rigidity and strength of the reinforcement device at different heights, improving the overall resistance to bending deformation.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1-3As shown, the columns 100 include four, the support frame 200 group includes four support frames 200, the transverse reinforcement frame includes four reinforcement beams 300, and the transverse reinforcement frame is shaped into a rectangle, preferably a square.
[0036] In this solution, several support frames 200 are arranged at the same height of the column 100, forming a group of support frames 200 at the same height. Several groups of support frames 200 are also arranged at different heights of the column 100. It is understood that four triangular support frames 200 are arranged at the same height of the column 100, one for each column 100, distributing the force evenly in more directions. Furthermore, force uniformity is enhanced at different heights, improving overall stability.
[0037] In this scheme, if Figure 1-3 As shown, the support frame 200 and the transverse reinforcement frame are preferably spaced apart at different heights of the column 100. This ensures stable force uniformity and support in the vertical direction of the column 100, thereby more comprehensively addressing the local stress concentration problem of the single-tube tower 400. Furthermore, each component can transfer force to each other, jointly bearing pressure or tension.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 200 includes at least two sets of first support plates 220 and second support plates 230. The sets are positioned at different heights of the curved plate 210, with a gap between the sets. This gap is designed to reduce component weight while maintaining the strength of the support frame 200.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the column 100 is a column 100 made of stainless steel, the support frame 200 is a support frame 200 made of stainless steel, the reinforcing beam 300 is a reinforcing beam 300 made of stainless steel, the first concave curved surface 211 is welded to the surface of the single-tube tower 400, and the second concave curved surface 240 is welded to the surface of the column 100.

[0041] Stable structure: The utility model arranges multiple support frames 200 around the main pillars to provide additional lateral support force, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0045] Scalability: If the load needs to be increased or the system needs to be upgraded, the structure can be further strengthened by adding more support frames 200, which has good scalability.
[0046] Customized design: The reinforcement structure of this utility model is pre-made into modules according to the diameter of the tower body and can be quickly assembled on site, reducing construction time and labor costs.
[0047] Compatible with existing structures: The reinforcement scheme of this utility model can be seamlessly integrated with the existing single-tube tower 400 design without changing the original structure, making it easy to implement.
