Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation mark technology, and in particular to a large position beacon that can be installed quickly. Background Technology

[0002] Position markers are generally tower-shaped and are set up at key locations in waterways to indicate navigable estuaries, important hydraulic structures, and turning points, providing vessels with positioning or determining their course. They are important navigation aids for safe navigation on inland waterways.

[0003] However, the locations where position markers are installed are generally remote, and municipal power lines are difficult to lay to them. Most of them use solar panels to power the markers to maintain their position indication function at night. Therefore, they are difficult to maintain after structural or equipment damage, and they cannot generate enough power to maintain the position indication time in rainy weather.

[0004] Moreover, existing beacons are constructed using reinforced concrete, which is slow to build. In the event of emergencies such as strong winds, floods, earthquakes, or mudslides that cause waterways to change course or damage to the beacons, it is difficult to rebuild the beacons in a short period of time, which will pose a significant threat to navigation and rescue efforts.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a large position marker that can be installed quickly to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a large position marker that can be installed quickly, in order to solve the technical problem of slow construction of position markers in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a large positioning beacon that can be installed quickly, comprising a tower body and a support column. The support column is fixed inside the tower body, and the tower body and the support column are fixedly connected. The tower body is a cylindrical body and includes several tower body units, which are interconnected vertically. The support column includes several support column units, which are interconnected vertically.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes connecting flanges, which are disposed at both ends of the tower body unit and / or the support column unit. The connecting flanges are fixedly connected to adjacent tower body units or adjacent support column units. The connecting flanges are disposed inside the tower body unit cylinder and / or outside the support column unit. The connecting flanges are provided with a plurality of connecting holes, and bolts pass through the connecting holes to fix adjacent connecting flanges.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs, which are evenly distributed along the connecting flange and are fixedly connected to the connecting flange and the tower body unit respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, each end of a single tower body unit corresponds to the middle of two adjacent support column units, and the single tower body unit is fixedly connected to the two support column units respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes several steps, which are connected between the tower body unit and the support column unit. The steps are spaced at the same distance and are arranged in a spiral upward in a hierarchical manner.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a self-illuminating panel, which is fixed around the outer wall of the tower body unit.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a tower base, which is fixed to the ground and has a hollow interior. The tower body is fixed to the top of the tower base by anchor bolts, and the bottom of the tower base is a foundation. The support column is fixed to the foundation by anchor bolts.

[0014] More preferably, a plurality of ground piles are fixed below the foundation, and the ground piles are fixed underground in an inclined or vertical manner.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6This embodiment provides a large-scale location marker that can be installed quickly, including a tower body 2 and a support column 4. The support column 4 is fixed inside the tower body 2 and connected to the ground. The tower body 2 and the support column 4 are fixedly connected. The tower body 2 and the support column 4 are cylindrical. The tower body 2 includes several tower body units 21, which are interconnected vertically. The support column 4 includes several support column units 41, which are interconnected vertically. The tower body 2 and the support column 4 are assembled from multiple tower body units 21 and support column units 41, respectively. The tower body units 21, support column units 41, and related structures can be prefabricated in the factory. When installing the location marker, the tower body units 21 and support column units 41 can be transported to the site in batches and directly assembled, greatly reducing installation time. This is especially suitable for scenarios requiring rapid response, such as disaster emergencies. Furthermore, the tower body units 21 and support column units 41 can be set as standard structures, facilitating large-scale production in the factory, accelerating the installation of location markers over a wide area, and saving costs. During the production process, different colors of luminescent materials can be directly applied to the tower body unit 21. The luminescent materials can be coatings such as fluorescent paint, which improves the convenience of painting while ensuring the quality of the paint surface.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cylindrical bodies of the tower body unit 21 and the support column unit 41 are made of aluminum alloy. Compared with traditional truss or reinforced concrete structures, the cylindrical structure is lighter, making it easier to transport and hoist in remote areas and further shortening the installation cycle. The support column 4 is fixed inside the tower body 2, forming an inner and outer double-layer cylindrical structure, which significantly improves the overall bending and torsional resistance and adapts to complex load environments such as strong winds and earthquakes.

[0038] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In this embodiment, a connecting flange 22 is further included. The connecting flange 22 is disposed at both ends of the tower body unit 21 and / or the support column unit 41. The connecting flange 22 is fixedly connected to adjacent tower body units 21 or adjacent support column units 41. The connecting flange 22 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 24, and bolts pass through the connecting holes 24 to fix adjacent connecting flanges 22. The connecting flange 22 also includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23, which are evenly distributed along the connecting flange 22 and fixedly connected to the connecting flange 22 and the tower body unit 21 respectively. Using bolts to fix the connecting flange 22 to connect the upper and lower units reduces the assembly difficulty for technicians, facilitates disassembly and installation, and the connecting flange 22 can improve corrosion resistance through galvanizing and other means, enabling the position marker to better resist harsh environments.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting flange 22 is located inside the cylinder of the tower body unit 21 and / or outside the cylinder of the support column unit 41. This facilitates installation and enhances aesthetics, while also preventing the connecting flange 22 from being exposed to harsh natural conditions in the external environment, thus improving the service life of the tower body unit 21 and the support column unit 41.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, in a further preferred embodiment, each end of a single tower body unit 21 corresponds to the middle of two adjacent support column units 41, and each tower body unit 21 is fixedly connected to both support column units 41. In this embodiment, the tower body unit 21 and the support column units 41 are fixedly connected by connecting rods, so that the lateral load faced by the tower body unit 21 will be distributed on the two support column units 41, thereby improving the wind resistance and torsion resistance of the positioning beacon.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, preferably, it also includes a tower base 3, which is fixed to the ground and is made of reinforced concrete. The tower base 3 is hollow inside, and the tower body 2 is fixed to the top of the tower base 3. The support column 4 is fixed to the bottom of the tower base 3 from inside the tower base 3. The top of the tower base 3 also includes a flange 31, and the tower body 2 is fixed to the inner ring of the flange 31. A railing 32 is provided on the outer ring of the flange 31 to surround the tower body 2. The tower body 2, the flange 31, and the railing 32 form a corridor, which facilitates the installation of the tower body unit 21 by technicians. The reliable fixing of the tower body unit 21 and the support column unit 41 further improves the stability of the position marker and prevents the position marker from collapsing due to reasons such as high tide.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the structure also includes a tower top 1, which further includes an observation platform 11 and a support frame 12. The observation platform 11 is fixedly attached to the tower top 1, and the support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the observation platform 11 and the tower body 2. The bottom surface of the tower top 1 is fixedly connected to the tower body 2 and the support column 4. The tower top 1 includes a hemispherical dome 13 and a spire 15, with the spire 15 fixed to the hemispherical dome 13. A climbing frame 14 is also fixed to the hemispherical dome 13. In this embodiment, the tower top 1 is divided into two layers, each with an observation platform 11 and a support frame 12. The lower observation platform 11 is mainly used for personnel to enjoy the view and inspect for potential dangers in the river channel, while the upper observation platform 11 and the climbing frame 14 are mainly used for equipment maintenance.
