Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pole and tower technology, and in particular to reinforced wound composite material poles and towers. Background Technology

[0002] Pole towers are structures that support overhead power lines, cables, and other overhead lines. They consist of a pole body and crossarms and are crucial in the power and telecommunications sectors. Based on material, there are wooden pole towers, which are susceptible to corrosion and have limited strength but were once widely used; concrete pole towers, which are sturdy and have good insulation but are difficult to transport and install due to their weight; iron towers, which are high-strength and come in various shapes but are expensive and require corrosion protection; and aesthetically pleasing and space-saving steel pipe poles.

[0003] However, existing power poles suffer from poor structural performance. Wooden poles are prone to decay in severe weather, and concrete poles are prone to cracking. They also have weak resistance to bending and torsion, making them susceptible to collapse and threatening line safety. Their excessive weight makes transportation inconvenient, installation costs high, and foundation requirements stringent, making construction difficult in special geological conditions. Furthermore, there are numerous challenges in filling and maintenance. The internal filling materials are of poor quality, unevenly distributed, and lack flame retardant and heat insulation properties. Due to inadequate structural design, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair are time-consuming and labor-intensive, impacting power and communication. Finally, there are significant fire hazards. Wooden poles are flammable, and some metal poles are easily deformed when exposed to fire, making them vulnerable to damage in fires and causing power and communication failures that threaten public safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reinforced wound composite material pole tower, which solves the above-mentioned problems when used in operation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an enhanced wound composite material pole tower, including a pole tower body and a base. The base is fixed to the bottom of the pole tower body. Four reinforcing ribs are provided inside the pole tower body. An upper partition is fixed to the top of the reinforcing ribs, and a lower partition is fixed to the bottom of the reinforcing ribs.

[0006] Preferably, the four reinforcing ribs are arranged in a cross shape, and the four reinforcing ribs divide the interior of the tower body into four filled cavities.

[0007] Preferably, the reinforcing rib has several holes, which are used to reduce the weight of the reinforcing rib.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the upper partition has four filling holes, which correspond to the four filling cavities separated by the reinforcing ribs, and the filling holes are threaded with sealing bolts.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. The reinforced spiral wound composite material pole tower provided by this utility model constructs a stable frame through reinforcing ribs distributed in a "+" pattern within the main body of the tower, in conjunction with an upper top partition and a lower bottom partition. Without significantly increasing weight, it greatly enhances the overall structural strength and stability, giving the tower excellent resistance to bending and torsion. Facing various external forces such as strong winds and earthquakes, it can effectively maintain good structural performance, significantly reduce the risk of deformation and damage, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the tower.

[0011] 2. The reinforced spiral wound composite material pole tower provided by this utility model, by creating holes in the reinforcing ribs, successfully reduces its own weight while ensuring structural strength, thereby reducing the overall weight of the pole tower. This not only facilitates transportation and installation but also reduces pressure on the foundation, lowers foundation construction costs and difficulties, and enables the pole tower to be constructed smoothly under various complex terrain conditions.

[0012] 3. The reinforced wound composite material pole tower provided by this utility model is internally divided into four filling cavities, which are filled with lightweight, high-strength, flame-retardant foam material. The filling process is uniform and orderly, and each cavity is fully filled, effectively avoiding problems of insufficient or uneven filling in certain areas, greatly improving the filling effect and overall performance. When a problem occurs in a certain cavity, it is easy to inspect and handle it separately without affecting the normal operation of other cavities, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0013] 4. The reinforced spiral composite material pole provided by this utility model has excellent flame retardant properties due to its lightweight, high-strength, flame-retardant foam material.

[0014] 5. The reinforced spiral composite material pole provided by this utility model has an optimized overall center of gravity due to the filling of lightweight foam material. The reduced weight allows the pole to be installed and used smoothly in different terrains and environments. It can demonstrate good adaptability in complex terrains such as mountains and hills, as well as harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the reinforced spiral composite material pole of this utility model includes a pole body 1 and a base 2. The base 2 is fixed to the bottom of the pole body 1. Four reinforcing ribs 3 are provided inside the pole body 1. An upper partition plate 32 is fixed to the top of the reinforcing ribs 3 and a lower partition plate 35 is fixed to the bottom of the reinforcing ribs 3.

[0022] The four reinforcing ribs 3 are arranged in a cross shape, dividing the interior of the tower body 1 into four filled cavities.

[0023] The reinforcing rib 3 has several holes 31, which are used to reduce the weight of the reinforcing rib 3.

[0024] The top of the upper partition plate 32 has four filling holes 33, which correspond to the four filling cavities separated by the reinforcing ribs 3. The filling holes 33 are threaded with sealing bolts 34.

[0025] Specifically, the interior of the base 2 is entirely filled with lightweight, high-strength, flame-retardant foam material. Before filling, four reinforcing ribs 3 are installed in the cavity inside the base 2, and the reinforcing ribs 3 are made into a "+" structure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, multiple holes 31 are opened on the reinforcing rib 3 to reduce the weight of the product. At this time, the reinforcing rib 3 divides the interior of the base 2 into four filling cavities. An upper partition 32 and a lower partition 35 are set at the top and bottom of the reinforcing rib 3 to seal the filling cavities and ensure that the foaming material remains in the cavities.

[0026] When filling with foam material, unscrew the sealing bolt 34 from the filling hole 33, and inject lightweight, high-strength, flame-retardant foam material into the four filling cavities through the four filling holes 33 respectively. After the foaming is completed, screw the sealing bolt 34 into the filling hole 33 to seal it, thus completing the filling operation inside the tower.

[0027] The advantages of the above design:

[0028] "T"-shaped reinforcing ribs 3: Four reinforcing ribs 3 arranged in a "T" shape are set inside the main body 1 of the tower. They can reasonably divide the internal space of the tower and greatly enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the tower without adding too much weight. They can effectively improve the tower's resistance to bending and torsion, and enable the tower to maintain good structural performance when subjected to various external forces, reducing the risk of deformation and damage.

[0029] Partitions: The upper partition 32 at the top and the lower partition 35 at the bottom of the reinforcing rib 3 work together with the reinforcing rib 3 to form a stable frame structure, further enhancing the overall stability of the tower. At the same time, it can better disperse and transmit external forces, so that when the tower is subjected to external impact, the force can be more evenly distributed throughout the structure, improving the tower's load-bearing capacity.

[0030] Holes 31: Several holes 31 are made on the reinforcing rib 3. While ensuring the structural strength of the reinforcing rib 3, the weight of the reinforcing rib 3 itself is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the tower, facilitating transportation and installation, and also reducing the pressure on the foundation, thus reducing the cost and difficulty of foundation construction.

[0031] Lightweight foam material filling: The interior of the tower is filled with lightweight, high-strength, flame-retardant foam material. Compared with traditional filling materials, it provides good filling effect and support while significantly reducing the weight of the tower and optimizing the overall center of gravity, so that it can be installed and used smoothly in different terrains and environments.

[0032] The segmented filling cavities: The reinforcing ribs 3 divide the interior of the tower body 1 into four filling cavities, making the filling of the foam material more uniform and orderly. Each cavity can be fully filled, avoiding localized insufficient or uneven filling during the filling process, which is beneficial to improving the filling effect and overall performance. Moreover, when a problem occurs in a certain cavity, it is easy to conduct targeted inspection and treatment without affecting the normal use of other cavities, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0033] Flame-retardant foam material: The lightweight, high-strength flame-retardant foam material used has excellent flame-retardant properties, effectively reducing the risk of combustion in the event of a fire or other accident, and improving the fire safety performance of the tower. This protects the tower and surrounding facilities and personnel, reduces the probability of power outages, communication interruptions, and other accidents caused by fire, and ensures the stable operation of power and communication systems.
