Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication tower technology, and in particular relates to a communication tower that is protected against lightning strikes. Background Technology

[0002] A communication tower is a tall steel structure primarily used to increase the height of communication antennas, thereby improving the service radius and communication performance of wireless communication systems. A communication tower consists of steel components such as the tower body, platform, lightning rod, ladder, and antenna supports, and undergoes hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection. It is mainly used for the transmission and dissemination of microwave, ultra-short wave, and wireless network signals.12

[0003] According to a public disclosure (Publication No.: CN 212453870 U), a lightning-proof communication tower includes a tower body with a single-tube column fixedly connected to its bottom. Both the tower body and the single-tube column have an insulating layer on their surfaces, and the insulating layer has a corrosion-resistant layer on its surface. This invention achieves improved insulation and corrosion resistance of the communication tower by using a combination of an insulating layer, a phenolic resin insulating material layer, a polyvinyl chloride insulating material layer, a neoprene rubber material layer, a corrosion-resistant layer, a phenolic resin paint layer, an inorganic zinc-rich paint layer, and a polyurethane paint layer. This effectively enhances the insulation performance of the communication tower when struck by lightning, preventing damage and extending its service life. Simultaneously, it effectively improves the corrosion resistance, preventing corrosion damage and extending the tower's lifespan.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned application, a single-tube column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the communication tower body, and both the communication tower body and the single-tube column are provided with an insulation layer, the surface of which is provided with a corrosion-resistant layer; it is difficult to drive away small birds, causing them to build nests on the top of the tower, which can damage the lightning rod. It is also difficult to protect the lightning rod in windy weather, which can have an adverse effect on the lightning rod and reduce its service life. This needs to be improved.

[0035] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: A current-guiding column 2 and a lightning rod 4 are installed at the top of the tower body 1. When the tower body 1 is struck by lightning, the current is diverted to the ground through the current-guiding column 2, giving the tower body 1 lightning protection and extending its service life. To prevent birds from building nests on the top of the tower body 1 and damaging the lightning rod 4, a bird-repelling device 5 is installed at the top of the tower body 1. When the sun is shining, sunlight shines on the solar panel 53. The solar panel 53 absorbs sunlight and generates electricity. The electricity generated by the solar panel 53 causes the control shaft 54 ​​to rotate. The rotation of the control shaft 54 ​​drives the control blade 55, the fixed column 57, and the fixed ring 59. The rotation of the control shaft 54 ​​causes the fixed column 57 to rotate, which in turn drives the bird deterrent pole 58 to rotate, thus deterring birds. Simultaneously, the rotation of the control shaft 54 ​​also causes the fixed ring 59, rope 510, and striking ball 511 to rotate, which in turn strikes the curved iron block 513, making a sound and deterring birds from approaching the tower 1. Sunlight shines on the solar panel 53, which absorbs sunlight to generate electricity, which is then stored in the battery 56, allowing the tower to deter birds even on cloudy days.

[0036] In the event of strong winds, a protective device 6 is installed on the top of the tower body 1 to protect the lightning rod 4 from damage. In windy conditions, the rotating block 62 rotates due to the wind force. The rotation of the rotating block 62 causes the threaded rod 61 to rotate, which in turn causes the threaded sleeve 63 to move downward. The downward movement of the threaded sleeve 63 causes the support bar 64, the connecting bar 65, and the protective cover 66 to move downward together. The downward movement of the protective cover 66 will contact the base 3, and when the protective cover 66 contacts the base 3, it will protect the lightning rod 4.
