Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for broadcast and television signal receiving towers, specifically, it relates to an intelligent integrated de-icing and lightning protection device for broadcast and television signal receiving towers. Background Technology
[0002] In cold and thunderstorm-prone regions, the operation of radio and television signal receiving towers faces severe challenges. In the low temperatures of winter, water vapor easily condenses into ice on the tower's surface. The continuous accumulation of ice significantly increases the load on the receiving tower. For example, in a northern region, a blizzard caused excessive ice buildup on a radio and television signal receiving tower, leading to structural imbalance and tilting. This not only seriously threatened the tower's structural safety but also severely impacted the normal signal transmission of antennas and other equipment, causing signal interruptions and greatly inconveniencing local residents' information reception.
[0003] Existing de-icing measures have significant shortcomings. Manual mechanical de-icing methods, such as workers climbing the tower to knock off the ice with tools, are extremely inefficient, requiring a significant amount of time and manpower to complete a single de-icing operation. Furthermore, workers face numerous safety hazards such as falls and slips while working at heights. Although electric heating de-icing has a relatively high degree of automation, melting the ice through heating elements, it consumes a huge amount of energy, which will significantly increase operating costs in the long run, making it uneconomical.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the significant shortcomings of existing de-icing measures, manual mechanical de-icing methods, such as workers climbing the tower to break the ice with tools, are extremely inefficient, requiring substantial time and manpower for each operation. Furthermore, workers face numerous safety hazards, including falls and slips, when working at heights. While electrothermal de-icing offers a relatively high degree of automation, melting the ice through heating elements, it consumes enormous amounts of energy, significantly increasing operating costs in the long term and resulting in poor economic viability. The basic concept of the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An intelligent de-icing and lightning protection integrated device for broadcast television signal receiving towers includes a base and a signal tower connected to and installed on the top surface of the base. The signal tower is equipped with a de-icing mechanism and a limiting force application mechanism.
[0007] The de-icing mechanism includes a support plate installed at the top of the signal tower, a connecting rope installed on the support plate, and a striking block connected to one end of the connecting rope. The striking block is used to knock on the outer wall of the signal tower to remove ice.
[0008] The limiting force application mechanism includes a second fixed plate disposed on the base. The second fixed plate is provided with a limiting groove and a limiting slider. The limiting groove and the limiting slider are used to limit the striking of the striking block.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the de-icing mechanism includes a mounting sleeve connected to the outer wall of a support plate, a motor mounted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve, a winding shaft connected to the output end of the motor, a connecting rope wound on the outer wall of the winding shaft, a connecting plate connected to the end of the connecting rope away from the winding shaft, a first protrusion connected to one side of the outer wall of the striking block connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, a first fixing plate connected to the bottom end of the support plate, and a second protrusion connected to one side of the outer wall of the first fixing plate.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting force application mechanism includes a sliding hole formed on the outer wall of one end of the limiting slider, a spring connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole, a limiting slide rod connected to the end of the spring away from the inner wall of the sliding hole, and a limiting slide rod connected to the outer wall of one side of the connecting plate at the end away from the spring.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a controller is connected to the top of the signal tower, a temperature sensor is installed on the top surface of the controller, and a lightning rod is installed on one side of the top of the signal tower.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of the second protrusions is several, and the second protrusions are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the outer wall of the first fixing plate.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer walls on both sides of the limiting slider are fitted together with the inner wall of the limiting groove.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the striking block is made of heavy-duty, wear-resistant metal.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] This invention uses a motor to control the winding shaft to wind and unwind the connecting rope, which in turn drives the connecting plate and the striking block to move up and down. At the same time, it also drives the first protrusion to move up and down. As the first protrusion moves, it will be squeezed by the second protrusion, thereby moving the striking block away from the outer wall of the signal tower. After the two protrusions are no longer in contact, the striking block returns to its original position, which can knock the outer wall of the signal tower to remove ice. This eliminates the need for manual or costly de-icing methods.
[0017] This invention uses a connecting plate to press a limiting slide bar, which in turn compresses a spring. The spring then rebounds, increasing the impact potential energy of the striking block and thus improving the impact force on the signal tower, thereby enhancing the de-icing effect. At the same time, the limiting slider and limiting groove can limit the connecting plate, allowing the striking block to accurately strike the outer wall of the signal tower.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the intelligent de-icing and lightning protection integrated device for broadcast television signal receiving towers includes a base 1 and a signal tower 2 connected to the top surface of the base 1. A de-icing mechanism 31 and a limiting force application mechanism 32 are installed on the signal tower 2. The de-icing mechanism 31 includes a support plate 311 installed at the top of the signal tower 2. A connecting rope 315 is installed on the support plate 311. One end of the connecting rope 315 is connected to a striking block 317. The striking block 317 is used to knock on the outer wall of the signal tower 2 to remove ice. The limiting force application mechanism 32 includes a second fixing plate 321 installed on the base 1. The second fixing plate 321 is provided with a limiting groove 322 and a limiting slider 323. The limiting groove 322 and the limiting slider 323 are used to limit the striking of the striking block 317.
[0027] Furthermore, the de-icing mechanism 31 includes a mounting sleeve 312 connected to the outer wall of the support plate 311. A motor 313 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 312. A winding shaft 314 is connected to the output end of the motor 313. A connecting rope 315 is wound up on the outer wall of the winding shaft 314. A connecting plate 316 is connected to the end of the connecting rope 315 away from the winding shaft 314. One side of the outer wall of the striking block 317 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 316. A first protrusion 318 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the connecting plate 316. A first fixing plate 319 is connected to the bottom end of the support plate 311. A second protrusion 3110 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the first fixing plate 319.
[0028] Furthermore, a controller 3111 is connected to the top of the signal tower 2, a temperature sensor 3112 is installed on the top surface of the controller 3111, and a lightning rod 3113 is installed on one side of the top of the signal tower 2.
[0029] Furthermore, there are several second protrusions 3110, which are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the outer wall of the first fixed plate 319. The striking block 317 is made of heavy-duty wear-resistant metal. By setting multiple second protrusions 3110, the striking block 317 can continuously strike up and down along the outer wall of the signal tower 2.
[0030] The limiting force application mechanism 32 includes a sliding hole on the outer wall of one end of the limiting slider 323. A spring 324 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole. A limiting slide rod 325 is connected to the end of the spring 324 away from the inner wall of the sliding hole. The end of the limiting slide rod 325 away from the spring 324 is connected to the outer wall of one side of the connecting plate 316.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer walls on both sides of the limiting slider 323 are fitted to the inner wall of the limiting groove 322, thereby improving the movement stability of the limiting slider 323 within the inner wall of the limiting groove 322.
[0032] The implementation principle of the intelligent de-icing and lightning protection integrated device for broadcast television signal receiving towers in this embodiment is as follows: When the temperature sensor 3112 detects that the air temperature has dropped below the standard, it will transmit the signal to the controller 3111. Then, the controller 3111 starts the motor 313, and its output end will rotate, thereby driving the winding shaft 314 to rotate. The rotation of the winding shaft 314 can release and lower the connecting rope 315. In this way, the connecting rope 315 can drive the connecting plate 316 to move downward. As the connecting plate 316 moves downward, it can drive the striking block 317 to move downward, and at the same time drive the first protrusion 318 to move downward. As the first protrusion 318 moves downward, it can contact and be squeezed by the second protrusion 3110. Because the striking block 317 has sufficient mass, it can drive the first protrusion 318 to press down and then be squeezed by the second protrusion 3110. The first protrusion 317 is squeezed by the second protrusion 3110. The protrusion 318 will move towards the second fixed plate 321, thereby causing the connecting plate 316 and the striking block 317 to gradually move away from the outer wall of the signal tower 2. Then, as the connecting rope 315 continues to move downward, it will cause the connecting plate 316 and the striking block 317 to continue to move downward, and at the same time, it will cause the first protrusion 318 to move downward. After the first protrusion 318 passes the second protrusion 3110, it will no longer be squeezed by the second protrusion 3110. Thus, the connecting rope 315 will cause the connecting plate 316 and the striking block 317 to swing back. At this time, the striking block 317 can strike the outer wall of the signal tower 2 due to the gravitational potential energy of its mass, thereby de-icing the signal tower 2. As the connecting rope 315 continues to move downward or upward, it will cause the striking block 317 to strike up and down along the outer wall of the signal tower 2, thereby improving the de-icing effect. This eliminates the need for manual or high-cost de-icing methods.
[0033] When the first protrusion 318 is squeezed and the connecting plate 316 moves closer to the second fixed plate 321, the limiting slide bar 325 moves synchronously. As the limiting slide bar 325 moves, it squeezes the spring 324. When the first protrusion 318 continues to move and is no longer squeezed by the second protrusion 3110, the spring 324 will rebound and reset. The rebound potential energy of the spring 324 can then push the connecting plate 316 and the striking block 317 toward the outer wall of the signal tower 2, thereby improving the de-icing effect of the striking block 317 on the signal tower 2. At the same time, during the up-and-down movement of the connecting plate 316, the limiting slide bar 325 will drive the limiting slider 323 to move within the inner wall of the limiting groove 322, thereby limiting the position of the connecting plate 316 so that the connecting plate 316 can only move laterally left and right, thus ensuring that the striking block 317 can accurately strike the outer wall of the signal tower 2.
