Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tower tilt monitoring technology, and specifically relates to a tower tilt monitoring device based on the occurrence of natural disasters. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid progress of society, the demand for electricity is increasing daily. High-voltage transmission is currently one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods of power transmission. High-voltage transmission involves converting electricity generated by power plants into high-voltage electricity through substations, then transmitting it through high-voltage conductors to transformers at distant locations, where it is converted into grid power for daily use. Currently, high-voltage transmission typically uses towers to transport conductors at high elevations to ensure ground safety. However, these towers are outdoors for extended periods, and during natural disasters such as floods and mudslides, they may tilt. This tilting can lead to serious consequences such as power outages, fire risks, casualties, infrastructure damage, economic losses, environmental destruction, hindered rescue efforts, and secondary disasters. These impacts not only disrupt normal life and economic activities but may also exacerbate the destructive power of disasters. Currently, there is no device capable of continuously monitoring tower tilting over long periods, requiring periodic manual inspections. However, inspections in remote areas such as mountains and valleys are time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to conduct manually. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example

[0033] Please see Figure 1-4This invention provides a tower tilt monitoring device for natural disasters, comprising a tower body 1, a connector 2, an elastic element 3, a sensor 4, and a monitoring terminal. The tower body 1 supports high-voltage cables, and its bottom is fixed to the ground with support feet 11. The connector 2 is mounted on the support feet 11 and connects to the elastic element 3. The elastic element 3 is connected between the connector 2 and the sensor 4, which senses the force on the elastic element 3. When the tower body 1 tilts, the elastic element 3 deforms, and the sensor 4 receives the elastic force from the elastic element 3 and electrically transmits this information to the monitoring terminal. The monitoring terminal analyzes this information and calculates the tilt direction and angle of the tower body 1. This invention enables continuous monitoring of tower tilt, allowing for immediate detection of tilting in areas difficult to monitor manually, such as mountains and valleys, thus improving the safety of high-voltage power transmission.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 The connector 2 includes a connecting sleeve 21 and a connecting ring 22. The connecting sleeve 21 is fitted onto the support leg 11; the connecting ring 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 21, and one end of the elastic element 3 is connected to the connecting ring 22. During installation, the connecting sleeve 21 can be fitted onto the support and fixed to the support with bolts. The connecting ring 22 is welded to the connecting sleeve 21, and the elastic element 3 is connected to the connecting ring 22. When the tower body 1 tilts, the elastic element 3 will deform as the angle between the tower body 1 and the ground changes, and transmit the elastic force to the sensing element 4. Furthermore, if the connecting sleeve 21 does not need to be disassembled, the connecting ring 22 can be directly welded to the tower rod to reduce costs.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3The elastic element 3 includes a spring 31. One end of the spring 31 is provided with a first connecting plate 32, which is connected to the sensing element 4. The other end of the spring 31 is provided with a second connecting plate 33. A connecting rope 34 is attached to the end of the second connecting plate 33 away from the spring 31. The connecting rope 34 is connected to the connecting ring 22. This method ensures that spring 31 is evenly stressed when the tower is tilted, specifically as follows: When the tower tilts towards spring 31, the second connecting plate 33 is compressed and transmits this pressure to spring 31, which generates an elastic force. This elastic force is applied from the center of spring 31 towards both ends, so the first connecting plate 32 also receives the elastic force from spring 31 and transmits it to the sensing element 4. When the tower tilts away from spring 31, the second connecting plate 33 is tensile and transmits this tensile force to spring 31, which also generates an elastic force and transmits it to the sensing element 4 through the first connecting plate 32. Tilting the tower in other directions can also be decomposed into a force in the direction of spring 31, which will also deform and generate an elastic force, which is transmitted to the sensing element 4 through the first connecting plate 32. Furthermore, the elastic element 3 can also be a hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or other component capable of generating a force to recover from deformation during deformation.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 The sensing element 4 includes a fixing part 41 and a sensing part. One end of the fixing part 41 is fixedly connected to the ground, and the other end has a mounting groove 42. The sensing part includes a first sensing plate 43 and a second sensing plate 44. The first sensing plate 43 is located at the bottom of the mounting groove 42. A first connecting plate 32 is placed at the end of the first sensing plate 43 facing away from the mounting groove 42. The second sensing plate 44 has a clearance hole 45 and is placed at the end of the first connecting plate 32 facing away from the first sensing plate 43, and is fixedly connected to the fixing part 41. The spring 31 passes through the clearance hole 45. During installation, the first sensing plate 43 is first fixed in the fixing part 41 with screws, then the first connecting plate 32 is placed, and then the second sensing plate 44 is placed above the first connecting plate 32 through the clearance hole 45 and the spring 31. Finally, the second sensing plate 44 and the fixing element can be connected with screws, or the second sensing plate 44 can be fixed by a cover plate 48 fixedly connected to the fixing element. Preferably, the fixing part 41 can be installed underground to increase stability. When the first connecting plate 32 is under pressure, the pressure is transmitted to the first sensing plate 43; when the first connecting plate 32 is under tension, the pressure is transmitted to the second sensing plate 44. Furthermore, the size of the clearance hole 45 can be much larger than that of the elastic element 3, so that one end of the elastic element 3 can follow the tilt direction of the tower. When the elastic element 3 tilts and is under force, it can generate a torque on the first connecting piece 2. The first sensing plate 43 and the second sensing plate 44 can sense the specific area under force, and the monitoring terminal can calculate the direction and angle of the tower tilt.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 A wire-passing hole 46 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 42, and the wire-passing hole 46 is connected to one end of the fixing part 41. The wire-passing hole 46 allows the cable of the first sensing piece 43 to pass through the fixing part 41 through the wire-passing hole 46 during installation.

[0038] In this embodiment, the tower body 1 has multiple support legs 11, and each support leg 11 is equipped with a connector 2, an elastic element 3, and a sensing element 4. Since most existing high-voltage towers have four support legs 11, each support leg 11 forms an angle with the ground (e.g., ...). Figure 4 Therefore, this utility model needs to be installed on each support leg to more accurately calculate the tilt angle and direction of the tower. In order to make the deformation of the elastic element 3 more obvious, the sensing element 4 is installed at the point where the angle between the support leg 11 and the ground is the lowest. At this point, the elastic element 3 can be more sensitive, and this is also the point where the support rod is lowest from the ground. The length of the elastic element 3 can also be appropriately reduced to save costs.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fixing part 41 has a mounting base 47, which is fixed to the ground by expansion bolts. This solution can increase the stability of the fixing part 41 and make it less likely to fall off and cause the sensing element 4 to misjudge.

[0040] This embodiment also includes a power supply module 5, which is mounted on the tower body 1 and used to supply power to the sensing element 4. The power supply module 5 can be a small wind turbine and its battery 52. ​​The wind turbine is installed at the top or top of the tower body 1, placing it at a high position. The battery 52 is installed in a shady spot on the ground or buried underground. When the wind blows, the fan of the wind turbine rotates, generating electrical energy that is stored in the battery 52 or directly supplied to the sensing element 4. Alternatively, the power supply module 5 can be a photovoltaic panel 51 and its battery 52. ​​The photovoltaic panel 51 is installed at the top or top of the tower body 1, and the battery 52 can be directly installed on the shaded side below the photovoltaic panel 51. When sunlight shines on the photovoltaic panel 51, the photovoltaic panel 51 generates electrical energy that is stored in the battery 52 or directly supplied to the sensing element 4.
