Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a support device, specifically a foldable steel pipe pole, which can be used for the installation of power equipment, street lights, communication equipment and other equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In infrastructure sectors such as power transmission, urban lighting, and communication network construction, steel pipe poles serve as core support structures for key components like power equipment, streetlights, and communication base stations. Their application demand continues to rise with the acceleration of socio-economic development and urbanization. To meet functional requirements, these steel pipe poles are typically designed as towering structures ranging from 8 to 30 meters in height to ensure that equipment installation locations comply with technical standards for signal coverage, power transmission, or lighting range.
[0003] Traditional steel pipe poles generally adopt an integral fixed structure design, meaning the pole body is welded or cast and fixed to the foundation in one piece, and is not disassembled. During routine maintenance after the equipment is installed, workers usually need to work at height, such as using ladders on the steel pipe pole or auxiliary equipment such as aerial work platforms. During the maintenance process, personnel are limited by space, making operation inconvenient, inefficient, and also posing certain safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding steel pipe pole, which achieves the folding function by rotating the top of the steel pipe pole downward, making it easier to operate later.
[0005] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a folding steel pipe pole, characterized in that it comprises: The main support rod is fixed to the foundation. The secondary base rod is hinged at its upper end to the upper end of the main base rod; the lower end of the secondary base rod is detachably fixedly connected to the main base rod. The equipment rod, fixed to the upper end of the sub-base rod, is used to install the equipment; A rope, connected to the secondary base rod, is used to control the rotation of the secondary base rod about the hinge point between the secondary base rod and the main base rod.
[0006] Preferably, the main base rod is an octagonal hollow rod with a tapered shape.
[0007] Preferably, the secondary base rod is a semi-open hollow rod; when the lower end of the secondary base rod rotates to the lowest point, the secondary base rod wraps around and fits against the main base rod.
[0008] Preferably, when the lower end of the secondary base rod rotates to its lowest point, the lower end of the secondary base rod is fixedly connected to the main base rod by bolts.
[0009] Preferably, a base is fixed to one side of the upper end of the main base rod, and the two sides of the upper end of the secondary base rod have extensions opposite to the base, with pins passing through the extensions and the base.
[0010] Preferably, the base is a U-shaped block, and the base is welded and fixed to the main base rod.
[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is welded to the outer side of the extension.
[0012] Preferably, the equipment rod is welded and fixed to the upper end of the secondary base rod; when the lower end of the secondary base rod rotates to the lowest point, the lower end of the equipment rod connects with and abuts against the upper end of the main base rod.
[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the secondary base rod wraps around and fits against the lower end of the equipment rod.
[0014] Preferably, the device rod is an octagonal hollow rod with a tapered shape.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Traditional steel pipe poles, due to their height, require personnel to climb for inspection and maintenance, posing safety risks such as falls. This foldable steel pipe pole, using ropes and its own weight, can lower the equipment pole along with the top equipment to a lower position, allowing workers to carry out installation and maintenance work near the ground. This eliminates the dangers of working at height and ensures personnel safety. At the same time, it reduces the difficulty of operation, making the installation and maintenance of equipment simpler and more convenient, thus improving work efficiency. This folding steel pipe pole eliminates the need for a permanent ladder, reducing the cost of ladder materials and installation. Furthermore, the installation and maintenance of the equipment no longer require large climbing equipment, which reduces the overall operating cost to some extent and avoids excessive occupation of public space. The main base pole adopts an octagonal hollow pole design with a tapered shape, which can enhance the structural strength and stability. The secondary base pole can wrap around and fit the main base pole. After the operation is completed, the connecting lugs at the lower end of the secondary base pole and the lower end of the main base pole can be fixed with bolts, so that the steel pipe pole can maintain a stable and reliable shape during use, ensuring the safety of equipment installation and operation.

[0024] 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.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0026] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 3 ,and Figure 6As shown, this utility model provides a foldable steel pipe pole, mainly comprising a main base pole 1, a secondary base pole 3, and an equipment pole 2. The main base pole 1 is an octagonal hollow pole with a tapered shape, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, and is fixed to the foundation. The secondary base pole 3 is a semi-open hollow pole that wraps around and fits against the main base pole 1, covering approximately half of its area. The equipment pole 2 is also an octagonal hollow pole with a tapered shape, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, and is used to install equipment such as power equipment, streetlights, and communication equipment. A section of the secondary base pole 3 near its upper end wraps around and fits against the lower end of the equipment pole 2, and the two are fixed together by welding. The secondary base pole 3 can rotate around the hinge point between itself and the main base pole 1; a rope 4 is connected to the lower end of the secondary base pole 3; the rotation angle of the secondary base pole 3 can be controlled by the rope 4 and the weight of the secondary base pole 3 and the equipment pole 2.
[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, when the lower end of the secondary base rod 3 rotates to the lowest point, the secondary base rod 3 wraps around and fits against the main base rod, and the lower end of the equipment rod 2 is connected and abuts against the upper end of the main base rod 1. At this time, the connecting ears 7 welded to the lower ends of the secondary base rod 3 and the lower ends of the main base rod 1 are aligned, and bolts are inserted into the two connecting ears 7 to fix the lower end of the secondary base rod 3 and the main base rod 1.
[0028] Example 2: Based on the above embodiment one, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base 5 is a channel steel profile, and its back side is welded to one side of the upper end of the main base rod 1. The upper ends of the secondary base rod 3 have extensions 301 on both sides opposite to the base 5, and a reinforcing plate 302 is welded to the outer side of each extension 301. Through holes are respectively opened on the two limbs of the extensions 301 and the base 5. The pin 6 is a high-strength smooth round steel, and it passes through the extensions 301 and the base 5, and is positioned by a pin.
[0029] At work; like Figure 6 As shown, remove the bolts at the lower end of the secondary base rod 3 and the main base rod 1, and control the rotation of the secondary base rod 3 and the equipment rod 2 through the rope 4, so that the upper end of the equipment rod 2 is lowered, making it easier to install the equipment on the upper end of the equipment rod 2, or to inspect the equipment on the upper end of the equipment rod 2; After installation or maintenance, pull rope 4 to rotate the lower end of the secondary base rod 3 to the lowest point, so that the secondary base rod 3 wraps around and fits against the main base rod 1; finally, fix the lower end of the secondary base rod 3 to the main base rod 1 with bolts. Compared to traditional fixed poles, the folding steel pipe pole provided by this utility model can rotate the top of the steel pipe pole to a low position. In this way, when workers install power equipment, street lights, and communication equipment, there is no need to install ladders on the steel pipe pole or occupy public space with large climbing equipment. This not only ensures the safety of workers, but also makes the process more convenient and faster.
