Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of landscape tower technology, and in particular to a landscape tower with a liftable light pole. Background Technology

[0002] Communication towers, as crucial supporting infrastructure for 5G base station construction, are mainly categorized into internal and external ladder types. Operators and maintenance personnel must ascend or descend via ladders either inside or outside the tower. Internal ladder types have more internal components, requiring a larger tower size to ensure sufficient operating space; however, this larger size increases wind pressure load. External ladder types have ladders that run along the tower structure, resulting in an unsightly appearance that impacts the urban landscape, and also adding to the wind pressure load. Therefore, both internal and external ladder designs not only waste materials but also significantly increase wind pressure load, failing to meet construction standards for high-wind-pressure areas.

[0003] To address this issue, a landscape tower will employ a lifting mechanism for its light poles to reduce the wind pressure load on the tower body. This adapts to the construction needs of landscape towers with light poles in scenic areas or high wind pressure regions, solving the construction problem of landscape towers with light poles in high wind pressure areas. However, since the cross-section of the tower pole is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, the light pole frame is generally set up in a ring frame structure. The ring frame structure is fitted around the outer perimeter of the tower pole. When the light pole frame is raised to a high position, there is a gap between the ring frame and the tower pole. With the wind blowing, the ring frame structure has the problem of swaying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable light pole landscape tower to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a liftable light pole landscape tower, including a tower body, a light frame structure, and a lifting structure. The cross-section of the tower body decreases from top to bottom. The light frame structure includes a light base fitted around the outer periphery of the tower body. The light base has multiple rolling components that contact the tower body. Each rolling component includes a roller that swings on the light base and an elastic element. The roller contacts the outer peripheral wall of the tower body, and the elastic element provides an elastic force to cause the roller to swing and contact the tower body. The multiple rolling components are arranged in a ring at intervals on the light base. The lifting structure includes a first drive structure, a connecting member, and a fixed pulley assembly. The fixed pulley assembly is located on the upper part of the tower body. The connecting member and the first drive structure are both located inside the tower body. The connecting member passes through the pulley assembly and is connected to the first drive structure and the light frame structure. The first drive structure is used to drive the connecting member through a power supply to control the lifting of the light frame structure.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0008] A rolling assembly connects the light frame structure to the tower, ensuring relative stability and preventing swaying. This enhances the overall stability of the landscape lighting system. Furthermore, as the light frame structure rises and falls, the rollers contact the outer wall of the tower under the action of the elastic components, resulting in smoother vertical sliding. This facilitates the lifting mechanism's control connectors, enabling the light frame structure to move up and down. During maintenance, the light frame structure can be lowered to the ground for access, eliminating the need for high-altitude work. The reduced use of climbing frames lowers the structural strength requirements of the tower, reducing costs.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lamp holder structure also includes a support frame, which is detachable from the lamp holder.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the rolling assembly also includes a swing rod, one end of which is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the lamp holder, and the other end of which is provided with the roller.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lamp holder is provided with a groove extending radially, and one end of the swing rod is located in the groove.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the swing rod swings up and down along the groove.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the tower body is provided with a slide rail that slides in cooperation with the rollers.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the elastic element includes a spring.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the liftable light pole landscape tower is also provided with multiple sleeves, all of which are located inside the tower body, and feeders and connectors are respectively installed inside the multiple sleeves.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the tower body includes multiple pole sections, with adjacent pole sections interlocked.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lamp holder structure is circular, and multiple lamps are evenly distributed on the lamp holder structure. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a retractable light pole landscape tower, and the following embodiments are provided:

[0030] A retractable light pole landscape tower includes a tower body 100, a light frame structure 200, and a lifting structure 300. The lifting structure 300 drives the light frame structure 200 to move up and down, eliminating the need for ladders for maintenance workers to climb. This reduces the structural strength of the tower body 100 and makes the tower body 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0031] The tower body 100 comprises multiple pole segments 110, with adjacent pole segments 110 interlocking with each other. Therefore, the cross-section of the tower body 100 decreases progressively from top to bottom. The cross-section of the tower body 100 can be circular or a near-circular polygon. The top of the tower body 100 is equipped with a lightning rod and multiple ring-shaped support poles, which support IoT antennas. The landscape tower serves multiple functions, including aesthetics, lightning protection, communication, and lighting.

[0032] The lamp holder structure 200 includes a support frame 230 and a lamp holder 210. The support frame 230 is detachably mounted on the lamp holder 210. The lamp holder 210 is fitted around the outer periphery of the tower body 100. The lamp holder 210 moves up and down along the tower body 100. When the lamp holder 210 descends to the ground, the support frame 230 can be replaced and the lamps 240 on the support frame 230 can be repaired or replaced. The commonly used detachable method is threaded connection.

[0033] Multiple lamps 240 are mounted on the support frame 230, and the lamps 240 are connected to a power source via cables. There is no limit to the number of lamps 240; the number can be adjusted as needed. Of course, to maintain balance and aesthetics, the multiple lamps 240 are generally evenly placed on a single-layer lamp holder. In other embodiments, the support frame 230 is circular, and multiple lamps 240 are mounted on the support frame 230 in two layers, inner and outer.

[0034] Of course, the two-tiered light fixture 240 can also be configured as an upper and lower tier. The number of light fixtures 240 can be set according to needs. To maintain balance and aesthetics, multiple light fixtures 240 are generally placed evenly on the two-tiered light stand.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lamp holder 210 is equipped with four rolling components 220 that contact the tower body 100. Each rolling component 220 includes a swing arm 223, a roller 221, and an elastic element 222. Specifically, the lamp holder 210 has radially extending grooves 211, and one end of the swing arm 223 is installed in these grooves 211, allowing it to swing up and down along the grooves 211, thereby serving as a limiting function.

[0036] The other end of the swing arm 223 is connected to rollers 221. These rollers 221 are in close contact with the outer peripheral wall of the tower body 100 and can roll smoothly along the outer peripheral wall of the tower body 100. To ensure that the rollers 221 can stably contact the tower body 100 and generate the necessary pressure, an elastic element 222, which is a spring, is installed between the swing arm 223 and the lamp holder 210. The spring provides the necessary elastic force for the rollers 221, allowing them to press firmly against the tower body 100.

[0037] The four rolling components 220 are arranged in a ring at intervals on the lamp holder 210, ensuring that the lamp holder 210 can slide against the outer peripheral wall of the tower body 100. To further improve the stability of the rollers 221, a slide rail is specially provided on the tower body 100 to slide with the rollers 221. This design not only improves the rolling stability of the rollers 221 on the tower body 100, but also ensures a more robust and reliable connection between the entire lamp holder 210 and the tower body 100.

[0038] There are two ways to set up the swing arm 223 and the elastic element 222, one of which is referred to Figure 2 As shown, the end of the swing arm 223 connected to the roller 221 is located below the hinge end. As the lamp holder 210 moves downward, the gap between the lamp holder 210 and the tower body 100 becomes smaller and smaller, and the swing arm 223 will swing downward. The elastic element 222 provides elastic force to support the roller 221 to always contact the tower body 100 during the downward movement. Since multiple rollers 221 are provided, the lamp holder 210 and the tower body 100 are always relatively fixed during the lifting and lowering process. It should be noted that when the lamp holder 210 rises to the highest point, the swing arm 223 still needs to maintain the tilt setting shown in the figure. The swing arm 223 should not be in a horizontal state during the lifting and lowering process of the lamp holder 210.

[0039] In another embodiment, the end of the swing rod 223 connected to the roller 221 is located above the hinge end. As the lamp holder 210 moves downward, the gap between the lamp holder 210 and the tower body 100 becomes smaller and smaller, and the swing rod 223 swings upward. The elastic element 222 provides elastic force to support the roller 221 to always contact the tower body 100 during the downward movement. Since multiple rollers 221 are provided, the lamp holder 210 and the tower body 100 are always relatively fixed during the lifting and lowering process. It should be noted that the swing rod 223 needs to always remain tilted during the lifting and lowering process of the lamp holder 210.

[0040] A rolling assembly 220 is provided between the light frame structure 200 and the tower body 100, which fixes the light frame structure 200 and the tower body 100 relatively, making the light frame structure 200 less prone to swaying and improving the overall stability of the landscape light. Furthermore, as the light frame structure 200 rises and falls, the rollers 221 contact the outer peripheral wall of the tower body 100 under the action of the elastic element 222, making the up-and-down sliding of the light frame structure 200 smoother. This facilitates the lifting structure 300 controlling the connecting piece 320 to lift the light frame structure 200. During maintenance, the light frame structure 200 can be lowered to the ground for maintenance, eliminating the need for high-altitude work. Moreover, by reducing the need for climbing frames and other structures, the structural strength requirements of the tower body 100 are lowered, reducing the cost of the tower body 100.

[0041] The lifting structure 300 includes a first drive structure 310, a connector 320, and a fixed pulley assembly. The fixed pulley assembly is located on the upper part of the tower body 100. The connector 320 and the first drive structure 310 are both located inside the tower body 100. The connector 320 passes through the pulley assembly and is connected to the first drive structure 310 and the lamp holder structure 200. The first drive structure 310 is used to drive the connector 320 by connecting to a power source to control the lifting of the lamp holder structure 200.

[0042] Specifically, the first drive structure 310 includes a hoisting system and a motor. The motor drives the hoisting system to rotate, and the hoisting system raises or lowers the lamp holder structure 200 via a connector 320 for maintenance and replacement of the lamps 240. Alternatively, a support section can be provided on the lamp holder structure 200, ultimately raising or lowering the operator on the support section of the lamp holder to facilitate maintenance work at the top of the tower. It should be noted that the hoisting system is prior art and will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The tower body 100 has multiple sleeves 120 arranged at intervals. Inside these sleeves 120, feeder lines 330 for lifting and lowering and connectors 320 are installed, including cables and steel cables. To enhance the functionality and durability of the sleeves 120, corrugated pipes were specifically selected as the material for the sleeves 120.

[0044] Inside the corrugated pipe, the feeder 330 and the lifting steel cable are separately installed. This design effectively avoids potential damage to the feeder 330 caused by the connector 320 during lifting, thereby extending the service life of the feeder 330. The feeder, also known as a cable, serves to transmit signals.

[0045] In addition, to ensure the stability of the sleeve 120 inside the tower body 100, we have also provided multiple fixing parts 130. The function of these fixing parts 130 is to firmly connect the sleeve 120 to the tower body 100, thereby preventing the sleeve 120 from shaking during the lifting and lowering process, and ensuring the stability and safety of the entire system.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
