Detailed Implementation

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments have been briefly explained above. Obviously, the described drawings are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Those skilled in the art can obtain other design schemes and drawings based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages mentioned herein do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0028] The core function of a flagpole is to stably support the flag, ensuring its display in various settings. When a flag is hung at the top of a flagpole, due to insufficient wind, it often cannot unfurl freely and instead appears constricted. Designers consider the influence of wind when designing flags, aiming for them to flutter gracefully in suitable winds, thus showcasing their beauty and symbolism. However, wind strength is often beyond human control, so in insufficient wind, flags may curl or droop. This not only affects the flag's appearance but may also weaken its display effect, preventing it from fully conveying its intended message and symbolism.

[0029] Therefore, a wind-powered flagpole, referring to Figures 1-5 It includes a flagpole body 1, a flag hanging mechanism 2, a fan assembly 3, and a reinforcement assembly 4. The upper side of the flagpole body 1 is provided with an air outlet 5, and the bottom of the flagpole body 1 is provided with an air inlet 6. The reinforcement assembly 4 is installed underground, and the bottom of the flagpole body 1 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement assembly 4. The flag hanging mechanism 2 is slidably connected to the flagpole body 1 and is used to hang the flag. The fan assembly 3 is located on one side of the reinforcement assembly 4, and the air outlet of the fan assembly 3 is connected to the air inlet 6 through a pipe.

[0030] The reinforcement component 4 is installed underground, enhancing the overall stability of the flagpole and effectively resisting external wind and impacts, ensuring the flagpole remains stable under various weather conditions. An air outlet 5 is designed on the upper side of the flagpole. The air outlet of the fan assembly 3 is connected to the air inlet 6 of the flagpole body 1 via a pipe. When the fan assembly 3 is activated, wind is transmitted into the flagpole and blown out from the air outlet 5, allowing the flag to flutter even in insufficient wind, ensuring the flag's display effect and enabling it to fully convey its intended information and symbolic meaning.

[0031] In summary, the blower body 301 and the reinforcement assembly 4 are installed underground. The flagpole base 102 is fixed to the connecting plate 401 of the reinforcement assembly 4. The pipe passes through the air inlet 6 and the connecting hole 404 to connect the air outlet of the blower body 301 and the air inlet 6 of the flagpole. The airflow enters the interior of the flagpole through the pipe and is discharged from the air outlet 5 at the top of the flagpole, causing the flag hung on the flagpole body 1 by the flag-hanging mechanism 2 to flutter. When it is necessary to raise or lower the flag, the rocker arm mechanism 103 is turned. The rope shaft 108 on the rocker arm mechanism 103 drives the steel wire rope 104 to move. The steel wire rope 104 passes through the fixed pulley 107 in the downwind ball 105, which drives the flag-hanging mechanism 2 to rise or fall. When it is necessary to maintain the blower body 301, the inspection cover 302 can be opened to enter the installation space of the blower body 301 for inspection and maintenance.

[0032] Exposed flagpole ropes, due to long-term exposure to harsh environments, are susceptible to rain, moisture, and corrosive substances in the air, leading to rust and other forms of damage. Therefore, in one embodiment, the flagpole body 1 includes a pole body 101, a base 102, a rocker mechanism 103, a steel wire rope 104, and a wind-following ball 105. The pole body 101 is a hollow tube. The base 102 is located at the bottom of the pole body 101 and is fixedly connected to the reinforcing component 4. The air inlet 6 is located on the base 102. The rocker mechanism 103 is located on the side of the pole body 101. The steel wire rope 104 is located inside the pole body 101, and the wind-following ball 105 is located at the top of the pole body 101. The fixed connection between the base 102 and the reinforcement component 4 improves the stability and wind resistance of the flagpole. The steel wire rope 104 is set inside the pole body 101, which not only ensures the smoothness of the raising and lowering process, but also avoids the safety hazards that may be caused by the exposed steel wire rope 104. The wind-following ball 105 is set at the top of the pole body 101. Its main function is to guide the wind direction and ensure that the flag can flutter with the wind, thereby achieving the best display effect.

[0033] The taller the flagpole, the greater the wind force it experiences, making it more prone to bending or damage. Therefore, in one embodiment, the flagpole body 101 is equipped with an inner liner 106. The inner liner 106 provides internal support for the flagpole, effectively dispersing the stress generated when the flagpole is under load, thus preventing breakage due to stress concentration. This is particularly important when the flagpole needs to be extra-long. It not only reinforces the flagpole, ensuring its stability under external forces such as wind and flag weight, but also significantly extends its service life, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0034] The raising and lowering of the flag should be smooth, avoiding violent shaking or sudden stops. Therefore, in one embodiment, the wind-following ball 105 is equipped with a fixed pulley 107, and the rocker mechanism 103 is equipped with a rope shaft 108. The fixed pulley 107 is rotatably connected to the rope shaft 108 via a steel wire rope 104. The bottom of the wind-following ball 105 has a cable outlet 109, and one end of the steel wire rope 104 passes through the fixed pulley 107 and through the cable outlet 109, and is fixedly connected to the flag-hanging mechanism 2. By adding the fixed pulley 107, the tension of the steel wire rope 104 is effectively distributed and reduced, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire system. The rope shaft 108 makes the raising and lowering of the steel wire rope 104 more flexible and convenient, improving operational ease.

[0035] Preferably, the rocker mechanism 103 can be replaced by a motor device, and the wire rope 104 is connected to the rotating part of the motor.

[0036] Flags may experience wear, fading, or other damage during use, necessitating periodic replacement to maintain their integrity and appearance. Therefore, in one embodiment, the flag-hanging mechanism 2 includes a counterweight rod 201, a guide bead 202, and a flagpole 203. One end of the counterweight rod 201 is connected to the steel wire rope 104, and the other end is connected to the guide bead 202. The guide bead 202 is fitted onto the rod body 101. The flagpole 203 is detachably fixed to the counterweight rod 201 and is used to hang the flag. The combination of the counterweight rod 201 and the guide bead 202 allows the flag to be displayed more stably in the wind, and the detachable design of the flagpole 203 greatly improves the flexibility of use, allowing users to quickly replace the flag or perform maintenance according to actual needs.

[0037] To ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the fan, regular maintenance and upkeep are necessary. Therefore, in one embodiment, the fan assembly 3 includes a fan body 301 and a maintenance cover 302. The fan body 301 is installed underground, and the maintenance cover 302 is positioned above the fan body 301. The maintenance cover 302 is used to open or close the installation space where the fan body 301 is located, and its top surface is flush with the ground. Installing the fan body 301 underground effectively reduces the occupation of ground space and improves land utilization efficiency. The design of the maintenance cover 302 makes the maintenance and repair of the fan body 301 more convenient and safe. Maintenance personnel can enter the installation space of the fan body 301 by opening the maintenance cover 302 to perform necessary inspections and repairs. Closing the maintenance cover 302 ensures that the fan body 301 is not disturbed by external factors during operation, thus guaranteeing its normal operation. It also has a certain dustproof and waterproof function, effectively protecting the fan body 301 from the effects of harsh weather and environment, extending its service life.

[0038] Preferably, the control device of the fan body 301 is installed in the control box 7, which is located on one side of the flagpole body 1, and the control device is electrically connected to the fan body 301.

[0039] Strong winds can cause flagpoles to sway and bend. Therefore, in one embodiment, the reinforcing component 4 includes a connecting plate 401, three horizontally arranged stirrups 402, and four anchor bolts 403 arranged in a rectangular array. The stirrups 402 are sleeved on the outside of the four anchor bolts 403. The connecting plate 401 has a connecting hole 404 and four positioning holes 405. The connecting hole 404 is located at the center of the connecting plate 401, and the four positioning holes 405 are respectively located at the four corners of the connecting plate 401. The anchor bolts 403 pass through the positioning holes 405 one by one and are threaded into the positioning holes 405. The stirrups 402 surround the outside of the four anchor bolts 403 to provide additional support and reinforcement. When facing heavy loads or impacts, they can better distribute and withstand pressure, thereby extending the service life of the structure. The central connecting hole 404 on the connecting plate 401 allows the fan duct to pass through, and the positioning hole 405 ensures that the anchor bolts 403 are installed in the predetermined position, making the entire structure more stable, improving the tensile and bending strength of the structure, and enhancing its adaptability and reliability in various environments.

[0040] Birds may nest at the air outlet, affecting the use of the flagpole. Therefore, in one embodiment, a protective net 501 is provided at the air outlet 5, covering the air outlet 5. The protective net 501 effectively prevents birds from nesting at the air outlet 5, avoiding potential physical damage to the equipment and reducing equipment malfunctions that may be caused by bird activity.
