[0029] It should be noted that the node to be resisted to twist refers to the connecting point of each structure on the power transmission tower, such as the connecting node of cross arm 3 and curved wall or the connecting node of cross arm 3 and horizontal spacer member on the power transmission tower.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 As an implementation manner, inner arc metal plate 25 includes inner arc outer metal plate 251, inner arc elastic material layer 252 and inner arc inner metal plate 253 connected in sequence, outer arc metal plate 24 includes outer arc outer metal plate 241, outer arc elastic material layer 242 and outer arc inner metal plate 243 connected in sequence, inner arc metal plate 25 and outer arc metal plate 24 are provided with outer metal plate, elastic material layer and inner metal plate, the elastic material layer absorbs torsional energy through shear deformation, and the outer metal plate and the inner metal plate dissipate energy through plastic deformation, forming a composite mechanism of "elastic buffer-plastic energy dissipation", which can improve the energy dissipation capacity and further improve the torsional resistance, and the torsional stress can be dispersed to each layer interface through the multi-layer structure design, avoiding the risk of fracture caused by local stress concentration of single metal plate and prolonging the fatigue life.

[0031] It should be noted that inner arc outer metal plate 251, inner arc inner metal plate 253 and inner arc elastic material layer 252 can be adhesively arranged, and outer arc outer metal plate 241, outer arc inner metal plate 243 and outer arc elastic material layer 242 can be adhesively arranged.
