Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications pylons.

[0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a telecommunications pylon comprising at least two sprayed earth concrete modules stacked on top of each other. ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE

[0003] Telecommunications towers are known, which are structures designed to enable the transmission of telecommunications waves. Known telecommunications towers comprise sections of tower structure stacked on top of each other and inside which a telecommunications antenna is housed. Each structural section is covered by a plastic panel, such as polycarbonate.

[0004] However, plastic, in addition to having a short lifespan and a high carbon footprint, does not allow the telecommunications tower to be integrated into an urban and / or rural environment.

[0005] Telecommunications towers are also known to have a single-block lattice-type structure, covered by a single-block veil reinforced by supports integral with the structure.

[0006] However, the veil, in addition to having a reduced lifespan, does not allow the telecommunications tower to be integrated into an urban and / or rural environment. In addition, the monobloc structure and the monobloc veil make the tower difficult and expensive to manufacture and assemble.

[0007] Telecommunications towers are also known to have an appearance designed to blend into their urban and / or rural environment, for example by means of a covering in the shape of a tree. Said towers comprise a single-piece structure over which a synthetic covering is placed. This covering can be divided into several covering portions, juxtaposed with each other.

[0008] However, the maintenance of the synthetic cladding must be regular, even frequent. It is, moreover, expensive. In addition, due to the synthetic aspect of the cladding, the integration of the telecommunications tower into the urban and / or rural environment is only partial and is generally perceived as artificial. In addition, the maintenance of the tower as well as its assembly, due to its monobloc structure, is difficult and expensive.

[0009] The present invention therefore aims to resolve at least in part the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art, by proposing a pylon comprising a plurality of stackable modules so as to facilitate its assembly and adapt its size as required, and comprising a sprayed earth concrete cladding allowing the pylon to be integrated into an urban and / or rural environment, while having a long service life, and the maintenance of which is simple, convenient and secure. PRESENTATION DE L'INVENTION

[0010] More specifically, the invention relates to a pylon comprising at least two stacked modules, each module comprising at least one supporting structure, extending between a first end and a second end, at least one sprayed earth concrete cladding; and at least one cladding support; said cladding support comprising at least two hoops, a first hoop and a second hoop, the respective first and second hoops of the stacked modules facing each other and being spaced apart from each other, the first hoop being connected to the first end of the supporting structure and the second hoop being connected to the second end of the supporting structure; the stacked modules being fixed to each other by means of respective plates of the supporting structure of said stacked modules, so as to provide a space between the respective first and second hoops of the stacked modules;

[0011] the earth concrete cladding being projected onto said cladding support and covering it at least in part; and said first and second hoops being configured to transfer at least part of the weight of the earth concrete cladding to the supporting structure.

[0012] Stacking the different modules allows the height of the pylon to be adjusted as required by the user. The supporting structure of each of these modules is connected to the cladding support. In particular, the first hoop is connected to the first end of the supporting structure and the second hoop is connected to the second end of the supporting structure. The earth concrete cladding is sprayed onto the cladding support, between the two hoops. The earth concrete is a so-called excavation earth, flexible, which does not deplete ecological reserves and allows the consumption of fossil resources to be saved. Thus, the pylon according to the invention can be modular to the desired height, adapt to its environment, be ecological, and its modular structure has the advantage of facilitating its manufacture and assembly.In addition, the first hoop and the second hoop are configured to transfer a substantial portion of the weight of the earth concrete cladding to the supporting structure.

[0013] Advantageously, the first hoop and the second hoop are in the form of a ring plate, said hoops each comprising at least one flat offset portion, the offset portion of the second hoop of one module and the offset portion of the first hoop of the other module on which it is stacked being configured to partially support the weight of the concrete cladding of such a project.

[0014] The offset portions of the hoops create a surface to improve the maintenance and support of the weight of the sprayed earth concrete cladding. In addition, the earth concrete cladding rests on the hoops, and in particular on the second hoop, otherwise the one located at the bottom of the corresponding module once the pylon is in place. This second hoop therefore bears more of the weight of said cladding. Thus, the offset portions of the hoops also allow for better stability of the pylon once in place. In addition, the offset portions of the hoops allow, by their shape, to have a geometry of the earth concrete cladding customizable as needed.

[0015] Advantageously, the hoops are metallic.

[0016] Optionally, the first hoop and the second hoop have a different thickness.

[0017] In particular, the second hoop, located closest to the ground once the pylon is in place, supports a substantial part of the weight of the earth concrete cladding. Thus, this second hoop can be thicker than the first hoop, so as to be more resistant.

[0018] Advantageously, said covering support of each module comprises a mesh extending between the first hoop and the second hoop, and a geotextile fabric, said mesh following the outer periphery of the first hoop and the second hoop, the concrete covering being sprayed onto said mesh, and the geotextile fabric being applied against the mesh, on the inside of the module, so as to avoid any projection of earth concrete inside the module during its manufacture.

[0019] The mesh, which can also be referred to as projection mesh, is used to fix the sprayed earth concrete cladding to the supporting structure of the pylon, while ensuring the bracing of said earth concrete cladding. Thus, the mesh helps to improve the lifespan of the pylon. The geotextile fabric placed behind the mesh, i.e. on the inside of the module and therefore towards the inside of the pylon in relation to the projection mesh, prevents the projection of earth concrete inside the pylon.

[0020] In addition, a shrinkage-resistant metal mesh can advantageously be integrated into the thickness of the sprayed earth concrete cladding, between the geotextile fabric and the mesh. This creates a sandwich structure with, from the inside out, a geotextile fabric, which is placed inside the module, parallel to the mesh, an shrinkage-resistant mesh and finally the mesh. The earth concrete is then sprayed onto this assembly.

[0021] Advantageously, said cladding support of each module comprises at least two uprights each comprising a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first hoop and the second end being connected to the second hoop, the mesh being connected to each of the uprights, said uprights being configured to support said sprayed earth concrete cladding.

[0022] The uprights allow the earth concrete covering of each module to be stabilized laterally and the weight of said earth concrete covering to be transmitted to the second hoop of said module.

[0023] Advantageously, the supporting structure of each module comprises a plurality of uprights connected to each other by crosspieces so as to form a lattice-type structure, the supporting structure delimiting a central opening configured to house technical equipment.

[0024] The lattice-type structure ensures the solidity of the supporting structure and therefore of the pylon and the central opening that said structure delimits allows the accommodation of technical equipment, such as a work platform for example, or such as cable trays, ladders or electrical and / or electronic boxes.

[0025] Advantageously, the first hoop of a first module is subject to the second hoop of a second module.

[0026] By attaching one module to another module, the pylon can be formed and its height adjusted as needed.

[0027] Advantageously, the supporting structure is made of galvanized steel.

[0028] Advantageously, the pylon further comprises at least one pylon head, configured to house at least one antenna, said pylon head comprising at least one antenna cover panel, configured to protect the quality of a signal emitted by the antenna.

[0029] The pylon head is the last stacked module forming the pylon. This pylon head is configured to house at least one antenna such as a 4G or 5G antenna for example. In addition, the pylon head protects the quality of the signals emitted by the antennas it houses. The pylon head can be composed of two sub-modules. The geometry of the pylon head is particularly particular and different from that of the other modules.

[0030] Advantageously, said at least one antenna cover panel comprises fiberglass.

[0031] Advantageously, the pylon head comprises a supporting structure to which a plurality of offset structures are connected, an antenna cover panel connecting two offset structures together.

[0032] The offset structures serve as support for the antenna cover panels.

[0033] The invention also relates to a method of mounting a pylon as briefly described above, comprising at least the following steps: connecting the cladding support to the supporting structure; spraying the earth concrete onto said cladding support to form the earth concrete cladding; stacking a first and a second module by placing the plates of the respective supporting structures of the first and second modules against each other; and securing the supporting structure of the first module to the supporting structure of the second module by means of fixing members configured to fix the respective plates of the first and second modules in pairs.

[0034] This process is simple, convenient and allows for the production of a modular pylon at the desired height, adapting to its environment and being ecological. PRESENTATION DES FIGURES

[0036] It should be noted that the figures set out the invention in detail to enable the invention to be implemented; although not limiting, said figures serve in particular to better define the invention where appropriate. DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION

[0037] The invention relates to a pylon 1, as shown in the figure 7 .

[0038] In particular, the invention relates to a telecommunications pylon 1 configured to house at least one telecommunications antenna 2. The antenna 2 may be a 4G and / or 5G type antenna for example. The telecommunications pylon 1 may in particular house a plurality of antennas 2.

[0039] Pylon 1 has at least two modules 3. An example of module 3 is shown in the figure 1 .

[0040] In particular, and according to the example shown in the figure 7 , the pylon can have eight modules.

[0041] On the figure 2 , two modules 3 are stacked on top of each other.

[0042] On the figure 5 , three modules 3 are stacked on top of each other.

[0043] The number of modules 3 is determined based on the desired height of the pylon 1. The higher the pylon 1 is required, the more modules 3 will be stacked. Conversely, the lower the pylon 1 needs to be, the fewer modules 3 will be stacked.

[0044] Modules 3 are configured to be stacked on top of each other to form pylon 1.

[0045] In particular, as seen on the figure 1 , a module 3 comprises at least one supporting structure 4, at least one sprayed earth concrete cladding 5 and at least one cladding support 6.

[0046] The supporting structure 4 extends between a first end 40 and a second end 41.

[0047] As shown on the figure 1 , the supporting structure 4 comprises a plurality of uprights connected to each other by crosspieces so as to form a lattice-type structure.

[0048] The uprights and crosspieces of the lattice-type structure are, for example, connected by bolts.

[0049] In particular, the lattice-type structure ensures the solidity of the supporting structure 4 and therefore of the pylon 1.

[0050] Advantageously, the supporting structure 4 is made of galvanized steel.

[0051] In addition, the supporting structure 4 delimits a central opening 42. The central opening 42 is configured to house technical equipment.

[0052] Technical equipment can be a work platform for example, or cable trays, ladders or electrical and / or electronic boxes.

[0053] All technical equipment is attached to the supporting structure 4 using clamps.

[0054] The covering support 6 comprises at least two hoops 7.

[0055] Advantageously, the 7 hoops are metallic.

[0056] According to the example shown on the figures 1 And 7 , the covering support 6 comprises two hoops 7, namely a first hoop 70 and a second hoop 71.

[0057] In particular, the first and second respective hoops 70, 71 of the stacked modules 3 come opposite each other and are spaced apart from each other, the stacked modules 3 being supported on each other by means of the plates 43 (visible on the figure 1 in particular) of the respective supporting structure 4 of said modules 3. The respective plates 43 of two stacked modules 3 are fixed two by two by means of suitable fixing members. For example, the plates are fixed to each other by bolting, in particular by means of nut-washer-locknut assemblies. According to the embodiment shown in the figure 1 in particular, each module comprises three upper plates 43 and three lower plates 43. Therefore, the upper plates 43 of a module 3 are thus intended to be fixed to three lower plates 43 of a module 3 stacked on it. The stacked modules 3 therefore rest on each other by means of said plates 43, so as to provide a space between the first and second hoops 70, 71 which face each other. The first and second hoops 70, 71 make it possible to participate in holding in place and supporting the weight of the earth concrete cladding 5. By their shape, they also participate in giving a particular shape to the pylon 1.

[0058] The first hoop 70 is connected to the first end 40 of the supporting structure 4 and the second hoop 71 is connected to the second end 41 of the supporting structure 4.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the first hoop 70 and the second hoop 71 are plates, in the shape of a ring.

[0060] Preferably, in accordance with the embodiment shown, the first hoop 70 and the second hoop 71 each comprise at least one offset portion 72. Each offset portion 72 is flat.

[0061] The first hoop 70 and the second hoop 71 each have a thickness. These two thicknesses can be identical, but they can also be different.

[0062] For example, the first hoop 70 may have a thickness of 8 mm or more. The second hoop 71 may have a thickness of 15 mm. Thus, the lower hoop, in other words the second hoop 71, which supports more of the weight of the pylon 1, is thicker so as to have greater mechanical strength. The upper hoop, in other words the first hoop 70, which supports less of the weight of the pylon 1, is thinner so as to have a lower mass and cost. The first and second hoops 70, 71 may also have an identical or similar thickness, in particular to simplify their manufacture.

[0063] In particular, the offset portion 72 of the second hoop 71 of a module 3 comes to bear on the offset portion 72 of the first hoop 70 of another module 3 on which it is stacked.

[0064] The offset portions 72 of the hoops 70, 71 make it possible to create a support surface configured to participate in supporting the weight of the earth concrete cladding 5.

[0065] The first hoop 70 of a first module 3 can be subject to the second hoop 71 of a second module 3.

[0066] By attaching a module to another module 3, pylon 1 can be formed and its height adjusted as needed.

[0067] In addition, the covering support 6 of each module 3 may include a grid (not shown).

[0068] The mesh extends between the first hoop 70 and the second hoop 71. In particular, the mesh is connected to each of said hoops 70, 71.

[0069] In particular, the mesh follows the outer perimeter of each of the hoops 70, 71.

[0070] The cladding support 6 further comprises at least two uprights 73.

[0071] As shown on the figure 1 , the covering support 6 may comprise five uprights 73.

[0072] The uprights 73 are configured to support the earth concrete cladding 5.

[0073] Each upright 73 has a first end 74 and a second end 75.

[0074] The first end 74 is connected to the first hoop 70 and the second end 75 is connected to the second hoop 71.

[0075] The mesh is connected to each of the uprights 73.

[0076] The earth concrete cladding 5 is sprayed onto the cladding support 6 and covers it at least in part.

[0077] Earth concrete is a flexible excavated earth that does not deplete ecological reserves and saves on the consumption of fossil resources.

[0078] Earth concrete therefore allows adaptation to the environment, while being ecological.

[0079] In particular, the earth concrete covering 5 is projected onto the mesh.

[0080] The mesh makes it possible to fix the earth concrete cladding 5 to the supporting structure 4 of the pylon 1, while ensuring the bracing of said earth concrete cladding 5.

[0081] Thus, the mesh helps to improve the lifespan of pylon 1.

[0082] In addition, the earth concrete cladding 5 thus projected makes it possible to protect the equipment housed in the supporting structure 4.

[0083] Furthermore, due to its attachment to the mesh which follows the outer circumference of the hoops 70, 71, the earth concrete covering 5 has a customizable geometry. In particular, it adapts to the geometry of the hoops 70, 71.

[0084] The cladding can accommodate vegetation and / or nesting boxes within its thickness. The pylon thus coated is therefore perfectly suited to an urban and / or rural environment. Thus, pylon 1 and its earth concrete cladding are perfectly suited to being planted as well as to receiving nesting boxes or insect hotels. The earth concrete thus makes it possible to encourage the installation of vegetation elements, nesting boxes and insect hotels.

[0085] The first hoop 70 and the second hoop 71 are configured to transfer at least a portion of the weight of the earth concrete cladding 5 to the supporting structure 4.

[0086] The portion of the weight transferred from the earth concrete cladding 5 to the supporting structure 4 is substantial. This feature of the first and second hoops 70, 71, of transferring at least part of the weight of the earth concrete cladding 5 to the supporting structure, makes it possible to support and maintain the earth concrete cladding 5 of the pylon 1. Otherwise, the earth concrete cladding 5 would risk collapsing on itself. The uprights 73 of the cladding support 6 also participate in transferring the weight of the earth concrete cladding 5 to the supporting structure.

[0087] Thus, the earth concrete cladding 5 rests on the hoops 70, 71, and in particular on the second hoop 71. In particular, the second hoop 71 is located closest to the ground once the pylon 1 is in place. This second hoop 71 therefore bears more of the weight of said cladding 5. Thus, the offset portions 72 of the hoops 70, 71 also allow for better stability of the pylon 1 once in place.

[0088] The uprights 73 also make it possible to laterally stabilize the earth concrete covering 5 of each module 3 and to transmit the weight of said earth concrete covering 5 to the second hoop 71 of said module 3.

[0089] In addition, the pylon 1 may comprise at least one pylon head 8.

[0090] Pylon head 8 is composed of two sub-modules, with specific geometry. In particular, pylon head 8 does not have the same geometry as the other stacked modules 3.

[0091] Pylon head 8 is the last stacked module forming pylon 1.

[0092] The pylon head 8 is configured to house telecom equipment such as an antenna 2. As shown in the figure 5 , the pylon head 8 houses two antennas 2, a first 4G antenna and a second 5G antenna.

[0093] The pylon head 8 comprises at least one antenna cover panel 80.

[0094] According to the example illustrated on the figure 6 , the pylon head 8 has three antenna cover panels 80.

[0095] The antenna cover panels 80 are configured to protect the quality of the signal emitted by the antenna 2.

[0096] In particular, each antenna cover panel 80 may be made of fiberglass. For example, the antenna cover panels 80 may be composite material panels having a fiberglass sandwich structure with flax fiber reinforcement and a honeycomb structure core made from existing raw materials. Such a composite material may comprise 38% by mass of resin, 37% by mass of fiberglass, 16% by mass corresponds to a honeycomb core, 3% by mass of flax fiber, to reinforce the panels.

[0097] In addition, the pylon head 8 comprises a supporting structure configured to cooperate with the supporting structure 4 of the modules 3.

[0098] The pylon head 8 further comprises at least one offset structure 81.

[0099] According to the example illustrated on the figure 6 , the pylon head 8 comprises three offset structures 81.

[0100] The offset structures 81 serve as support for the antenna cover panels 80.

[0101] An antenna cover panel 80 connects two offset structures 81 together.

[0102] Furthermore, earth concrete is sprayed between the antenna cover panels 80, in particular on corners, in particular made of galvanized steel, arranged between the panels 80.

[0103] Thus, the various stacked modules 3 make it possible to adjust, as required by the user, the height of the pylon 1. This modular structure has the advantage of facilitating the manufacture and assembly of the pylon 1. Said pylon 1 is, however, integrable in an urban and / or rural environment, has a long service life, and maintenance is simple, convenient and secure.

[0104] The first module 3, that is to say the one closest to the ground, has an access, such as a door, allowing a user access to the interior of the supporting structure 4 so as to allow maintenance of the pylon 1, simplify it and make it secure.

[0105] The invention also relates to a method of mounting a pylon 1 as previously described.

[0106] The method may comprise a first step consisting of connecting the covering support 6 to the supporting structure 4.

[0107] In particular, the mesh may be connected to the uprights 73 and the hoops 7 of the covering support 6. As indicated previously, preferably, a geotextile fabric may also be arranged inside the module, parallel to the mesh. Also, an anti-shrinkage mesh may be arranged between the geotextile fabric and the mesh.

[0108] The method may comprise a second step of spraying the earth concrete onto said cladding support 6, so as to form the earth concrete cladding 5.

[0109] Then, a third step may be to stack the supporting structure 4 of a first module 3 on the supporting structure of a second module 3. To this end, the plates 43 of the respective supporting structures of the stacked modules 3 are placed in abutment against each other. The plates 43 of the module 3 located above thus come into abutment against the plates 43 of the module 3 located below.

[0110] Finally, a fourth step may be to secure the supporting structure 4 of the first module 3 to the supporting structure 4 of the second module 3, by means of fixing members fixing to each other, two by two, the plates 43 of the supporting structures of the stacked modules 3.

[0111] The installation process for pylon 1 encourages the subsequent planting of vegetation on the pylon. The sprayed earth concrete cladding 5 allows for the installation of nest boxes and insect hotels, as well as for vegetation to easily climb onto the earth concrete.

[0112] A step may be added consisting of stacking and then securing the pylon head 8 on a module 3, in particular the module 3 located highest in relation to the ground, once the pylon 1 has been mounted on said ground.

[0113] It will also be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It will indeed appear to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiment described above, in light of the teaching which has just been disclosed to them.

[0114] In the detailed presentation of the invention given above, the terms used should not be interpreted as limiting the invention to the embodiment set out in the present description, but should be interpreted to include all equivalents whose prediction is within the reach of those skilled in the art by applying their general knowledge to the implementation of the teaching just disclosed to them.
