[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.

[0027] Under extreme weather conditions, power transmission lines may collapse due to natural disasters such as strong winds, torrential rains, and snowstorms. These accidents pose a serious threat to the stable operation of the power system and may lead to widespread power outages, affecting residents' lives and industrial production. In such situations, it is crucial to quickly allocate repair materials and initiate emergency repair work.
[0028] Overhead transmission line emergency repair towers are temporary replacement devices for high-voltage transmission line towers damaged by icing, storms, foundation subsidence, external forces, or other accidents. They enable rapid restoration of power to the damaged line, allowing for the subsequent repair or replacement of the damaged towers. Overhead transmission line emergency repair towers are used to quickly restore the power supply capacity of damaged lines, providing temporary support for subsequent tower repair or replacement. These towers need to have high load-bearing capacity and stability, capable of withstanding the weight of the transmission line and the effects of external weather conditions. Furthermore, their design should be rational, facilitating installation and dismantling, and improving work efficiency.
[0029] After arriving at the accident site, the repair team assesses the damage, selects a suitable repair tower based on the type and size of the damaged tower, and conducts necessary inspections and preparations. Under the guidance of professionals, the repair tower is installed in the designated location, ensuring its stability and verticality. Once the repair tower is stable, the transmission line is re-erected, and power is restored.
[0030] Overhead transmission line repair towers are emergency equipment with relatively low usage frequency, typically only needed when serious power system faults or natural disasters damage the lines. Therefore, repair towers require proper storage and management during normal times to ensure rapid response when needed.
[0031] As emergency repair materials, repair tower equipment has the following characteristics: First, it is used infrequently and requires long-term storage; second, line repairs are urgent, so the transportation and loading / unloading time of the equipment must be minimized; and third, it needs to be recycled and reused after use, requiring repeated loading, unloading, handling, and reassembly. Currently, the power grid company's existing repair tower equipment is usually stored in warehouses or outdoors, which suffers from poor management, missing parts, and exposure to wind and sun. A small amount is stored in containers, but the space utilization of commonly used containers is low, loading and unloading require manual labor, and access is through the end doors, making it inconvenient to use cranes and resulting in low loading and unloading efficiency.
[0032] During storage, it is crucial to select a suitable storage environment. Emergency repair towers should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated, and rain-protected location to prevent corrosion and damage. Regular inspections and maintenance of the towers are also necessary to ensure their structural integrity, reliable connections, and that the anti-corrosion coating has not peeled off. Emergency repair towers should be categorized and stored according to their type, size, and purpose to facilitate quick identification of the required tower. When a power system failure occurs, repair work is usually very urgent, requiring the restoration of power as quickly as possible. Therefore, the transportation and loading / unloading time of emergency repair towers must be minimized to ensure that repair work can proceed rapidly.
[0033] To shorten transportation and loading / unloading time, transportation routes can be planned in advance to avoid traffic congestion and complex terrain. Appropriate transportation tools, such as flatbed trucks and cranes, should be selected based on the size and weight of the emergency repair tower to improve transportation efficiency. A professional loading / unloading team and tools, such as cranes and forklifts, should be provided to complete the loading and unloading of the emergency repair tower quickly and safely. After use, the emergency repair tower needs to be recycled and reused to reduce costs and resource waste. Therefore, the emergency repair tower needs to undergo repeated loading, unloading, handling, and assembly processes. To ensure the reusability of the emergency repair tower, its structural design should facilitate disassembly and assembly to reduce damage and wear during loading, unloading, and handling.
[0034] The emergency repair tower is a guyed type, meaning it can be balanced and adjusted by guy wires when subjected to external forces. A base is hinged to the bottom of the tower column, and a fairly large floor needs to sit on the ground beneath the base to bear the entire downward pressure of the tower. Therefore, the floor itself requires high strength and cannot be deformed. Furthermore, a sufficiently large area is needed to ensure the foundation does not settle. To meet these two requirements, the foundation of the emergency repair tower is heavy and large, necessitating the use of assembled steel sections. Due to its large size, it cannot fit into conventional shipping containers, and its weight makes loading and unloading difficult.
[0035] The guyed-wire type emergency repair tower emphasizes the importance of the hinged base at the bottom of the tower column and the floor beneath it. This design ensures that the repair tower can stably withstand all downforce and prevents structural deformation due to foundation settlement. The base is the key connecting component between the repair tower and the ground; it must be able to withstand the entire downforce of the tower and distribute it evenly across the ground.
[0036] The base is typically made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure its stability and durability during long-term use. The floor, the supporting structure beneath the base, must be large enough to prevent settlement of the repair tower's foundation. The floor design should consider the ground's load-bearing capacity and the foundation's stability to ensure the repair tower does not tilt or collapse during use. The floor material is also usually high-strength and corrosion-resistant to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
[0037] The base and floor of the emergency repair tower must possess high strength to withstand the entire downforce of the tower and potential external forces such as wind and snow loads. Strength requirements ensure that the tower will not suffer structural damage or deformation during use, thus guaranteeing the smooth progress of emergency repair work. The base and floor of the emergency repair tower must be designed with deformation in mind to ensure that excessive deformation does not occur under pressure. Excessive deformation may lead to structural instability of the tower, or even collapse.
[0038] To address the issues of low loading and unloading efficiency of traditional containers and the bulky and difficult loading and unloading of traditional emergency repair tower bases, this disclosure proposes a device that also serves as the foundation for power transmission line emergency repair towers for rapid loading, unloading, and storage of containers.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1, the rapid loading, unloading, storage and transportation container of the equipment that also serves as the foundation for a transmission line emergency repair tower in this embodiment mainly includes a main frame 1 and a container chassis 2. The main frame 1 and the container chassis 2 adopt a split design. The main frame 1 is a cuboid cover with an open bottom, and the container chassis 2 is a platform structure. The container chassis 2 can also serve as the foundation for a transmission line emergency repair tower. The main frame 1 and the container chassis 2 are detachably connected.
[0040] Upon arrival at the work site, the main frame 1 and the container chassis 2 are disassembled. The main frame 1 can be lifted away by a crane, and the emergency repair equipment can be directly stacked on the container chassis 2. The emergency repair equipment is fully exposed, which facilitates the use of cranes, forklifts or manual loading and unloading equipment, without being limited by the space constraints of traditional container bodies.
[0041] This embodiment integrates the emergency repair equipment and the transport container into a single design, using the container chassis 2 as the foundation for the power transmission line emergency repair tower. Given the urgency of power line emergency repair tasks, simplifying the quantity and types of equipment is a crucial and effective approach. The container chassis 2 designed in this embodiment is both large and robust. Its design, serving as the foundation for the power transmission line emergency repair tower, eliminates the need for separately designing and fabricating a base and related transportation, thus solving the problems of traditional bases being bulky and difficult to load and unload.
[0042] In some embodiments, the main frame 1 of this disclosure includes a box top 11, two end panels 12 at the front and rear, and two side panels 13 on the left and right, forming a cuboid cover with an open bottom surface.
[0043] In some embodiments, the top 11, the two end panels 12, and the two side panels 13 of the box in this disclosure are all made of corrugated steel plates.
[0044] The end panel 12 and the side panel 13 are connected by columns 14, and the top 11 and the side panel 13, as well as the top 11 and the end panel 12, are connected by crossbeams 15. For example, the two end panels 12 and the two side panels 13 are connected by four columns 14, and the top 11 and the two side panels 13, as well as the top 11 and the two end panels 12, are connected by crossbeams 15.
[0045] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the bottom of the two end panels 12 and the two side panels 13 are provided with a ring beam 16 connected together, and the bottom of the end panels 12 and the bottom of the side panels 13 are detachably connected to the edge of the chassis 2 through the ring beam 16.
[0046] In some embodiments, the detachable connection is a bolted connection.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the crossbeam 15 is usually made of steel, but other materials such as aluminum alloy are also used. The manufacturing process of the crossbeam 15 includes processes such as steel cutting, welding and surface treatment.
[0048] The uprights 14 are mainly located on the four sides of the container and are crucial components for bearing weight and resisting pressure, playing a key role in supporting the vertical load of the container body. Uprights 14 are typically made of steel, and their diameter and thickness depend on the size and purpose of the container. Uprights 14 are fixed together by welding or other methods. The upper crossbeam 15 and the lower ring beam 16 are located above and below the uprights 14, respectively, enhancing their load-bearing capacity. Base corners, usually welded from steel plates, can be installed at the ends of the uprights 14 to secure them to the upper crossbeam 15 and lower ring beam 16.
[0049] In some embodiments, the container may also be equipped with dedicated uprights, such as front corner posts and rear corner posts, which have specific dimensions and shapes to meet the special needs of the container. The crossbeams 15, uprights 14, and ring beams 16 together constitute the skeletal structure of the container, ensuring its overall stability and load-bearing capacity. During transportation, they effectively prevent container deformation and vibration, protecting the internal cargo from external impacts and damage.
[0050] In some embodiments, one of the two side panels 13 of the main frame 1 is provided with a swing door.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5. In this embodiment, the platform structure of the container chassis 2 includes at least three layers. Functionally, the container chassis 2 serves as the bottom of the storage and transportation container, allowing for the disassembly of the upper structure and goods. It can also serve as the base structure of the emergency repair tower, bearing the downward pressure of the main column of the emergency repair tower. Structurally, the container chassis 2 can be an assembled structure of profiled steel or a steel plate structure to replace the profiled steel.
[0052] Several main profiles are arranged parallel to each other along the length direction, and several auxiliary profiles are arranged parallel to each other along the width direction. The main profiles and auxiliary profiles can be arranged perpendicularly or at an angle ranging from 30° to 150°. During the arrangement, the main profiles are arranged in one layer and the auxiliary profiles in one layer. The main profiles can be on top and the auxiliary profiles on the bottom, or vice versa.
[0053] In some embodiments, the middle layer 22 and the bottom layer 23 of the platform structure of the chassis 2 are assembled from steel profiles, with the middle layer 23 arranged along the length of the chassis and the bottom layer 23 arranged along the width of the chassis. Alternatively, the middle layer 23 is arranged along the width of the chassis and the bottom layer 23 is arranged along the length of the chassis.
[0054] The middle layer 22 is configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its short axis and is the main load-bearing component. It uses I-beams of the first specification (such as large specification) arranged at parallel intervals. The bottom layer 23 is configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its long axis and uses profiles of the second specification (such as small specification) (square tubes, I-beams, angle steel, channel steel, etc.) arranged at parallel intervals.
[0055] Alternatively, the bottom layer 23 is configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its minor axis and is the main load-bearing component, using I-beams of the first specification (e.g., large specification) arranged at parallel intervals. The middle layer 22 is configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its major axis and uses profiles of the second specification (e.g., small specification) (square tubes, I-beams, angle steel, channel steel, etc.) arranged at parallel intervals.
[0056] In some embodiments of this disclosure, large-diameter I-beams have a wider size range and are typically used in applications requiring heavy loads. Their I-shaped form provides a large cross-sectional area, offering good load-bearing capacity and stability. Small-diameter profiles, on the other hand, have a smaller size range and are typically defined based on the application scenario and requirements.
[0057] Small-sized profiles come in a variety of shapes, including square tubes, I-beams (smaller in size), angle steel, and channel steel, each with its specific applications and advantages. Large-sized I-beams are mainly used for load-bearing parts of structures. The production of large-sized I-beams requires more advanced equipment and processes to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish. They are typically made of low-carbon steel and have high load-bearing capacity and stability.
[0058] Small-diameter profiles are relatively simple to produce and can be manufactured using rolling processes. The performance of small-diameter profiles varies depending on the material and application. For example, square tubing typically offers good corrosion resistance and impact resistance. When selecting large-diameter I-beams or small-diameter profiles, a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the application scenario, load requirements, and cost budget is necessary. High-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes ensure the durability and safety of the profiles.
[0059] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the middle layer 22 of the platform structure of the chassis 2 is designed to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its minor axis. This means that when the foundation or equipment rotates due to external forces acting on it in the minor axis direction, the middle layer 22 will play a major supporting and resisting role.
[0060] To withstand this large bending moment, the middle layer 22 uses large-diameter I-beams. Due to their cross-sectional shape, I-beams have excellent bending resistance, making them an ideal choice for bearing bending moments.
[0061] Large-diameter I-beams are arranged with parallel spacing in the middle layer 22. This arrangement ensures uniform spacing between the I-beams, resulting in more even stress distribution and improved overall stability and load-bearing capacity.
[0062] The bottom layer 23 is designed to withstand the bending moment caused by the foundation rotating about its major axis. Unlike the middle layer 22, the bottom layer 23 is primarily subjected to external forces along its major axis when bearing bending moments. To withstand this bending moment, the bottom layer 23 uses small-sized profiles, such as square tubing, I-beams, angle steel, and channel steel. Although these profiles are small in size, with proper arrangement and connection, they can still withstand a certain amount of bending moment.
[0063] Small-sized profiles are arranged in parallel intervals in the bottom layer 23. This arrangement ensures a reasonable spacing between the profiles, avoiding both excessive density leading to material waste and excessive sparseness affecting load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, appropriate connection methods (such as welding, bolting, etc.) ensure the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the bottom layer 23.
[0064] The design scheme of the middle layer 22 and the bottom layer 23 of the platform structure of the box chassis 2 in this embodiment fully considers the bending moment in different directions and achieves the best load-bearing effect by using different materials and arrangements. This design scheme not only ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure, but also realizes the rational use of materials and cost reduction.
[0065] In some embodiments, the bottom layer 23 can also be configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its minor axis, serving as the main load-bearing component, and is composed of large-sized I-beams arranged at parallel intervals; the middle layer 22 can be configured to withstand the bending moment of the foundation rotating about its major axis, and is composed of small-sized profiles (square tubes, I-beams, angle steel, channel steel, etc.) arranged at parallel intervals. The same technical effect can be achieved.
[0066] Of course, in practical applications, optimization and adjustments are still needed based on engineering requirements and conditions.
[0067] In some embodiments, the top layer 21 of the platform structure of the enclosure chassis 2 is made of steel plate or wood, and the surface must be flat. When the enclosure chassis 2 serves as the foundation for a transmission line emergency repair tower, it facilitates the installation and erection of the tower; when it serves as the bottom of a storage and transport enclosure, it facilitates the stacking of emergency repair equipment.
[0068] In some embodiments, the connection between the middle layer 22 and the bottom layer 23 can be a bolt connection, a riveting connection, or welding, etc.
[0069] The chassis platform structure can be made of carbon steel, alloy steel, low alloy steel, aluminum alloy and composite materials.
[0070] The equipment quick-loading and unloading storage container in this embodiment, which also serves as the foundation for a transmission line emergency repair tower, adopts a split design for the main frame 1 and the container chassis 2. The main frame 1 is lifted away, leaving the container chassis 2, on which the emergency repair equipment can be directly stacked, which is very convenient and efficient. Furthermore, the container chassis 2 can also serve as the foundation for a transmission line emergency repair tower, achieving a unified structure with multiple functions. Because the emergency repair tower foundation is a major load-bearing structure, it is large in size and heavy, making storage and transportation inconvenient. The solution in this embodiment eliminates the need for separate processing, storage, and transportation, saving material costs and storage and transportation space.
[0071] Some embodiments of this disclosure also propose a construction method for the rapid loading, unloading, and storage of equipment containers that also serve as foundations for transmission line emergency repair towers. This method includes the following steps.
[0072] In step S1, the equipment that also serves as the foundation for the transmission line repair tower is quickly loaded, unloaded, and transported in a storage container to the work site.
[0073] In step S2, at the work site, the main frame 1 and the chassis 2 of the equipment that also serves as the foundation of the transmission line emergency repair tower are disassembled and the main frame 1 is removed.
[0074] In step S3, the emergency repair equipment is placed on the chassis 2 of the enclosure, and the chassis 2 also serves as the foundation for the emergency repair tower of the transmission line. The tower is erected directly on the chassis 2 of the enclosure.
[0075] In extreme weather conditions, when power transmission lines collapse, it is necessary to urgently allocate repair materials and transport repair equipment from the reserve base.
[0076] (1) The emergency repair equipment is stored in the warehouse. The equipment needs to be inventoried, and then loaded onto trucks one by one using cranes, forklifts, and manual labor. Upon arrival at the site of the tower collapse, the equipment is unloaded from the trucks one by one. This method is the least efficient and takes the longest time.
[0077] (2) When the emergency repair equipment is stored in a container, a crane is used to lift the entire container onto a flatbed truck for direct shipment. Upon arrival at the site of the tower collapse, the entire container is lifted off the flatbed truck, the container doors are opened, and the emergency repair equipment is removed piece by piece. Unlike (1) where individual parts are loaded onto the truck, unloading is done on the ground, resulting in high work efficiency. However, the foundation of the emergency repair tower is too large and heavy to fit in a conventional container, so it must be stored and transported separately.
[0078] (3) The emergency repair tower equipment is stored in a container. A crane directly lifts the entire container onto a flatbed truck for shipment. Upon arrival at the site of the tower collapse, the entire container is lifted off the flatbed truck. The bolts between the main frame 1 and the container chassis 2 are removed, and the crane lifts away the main frame 1. The emergency repair equipment is then stacked on the container chassis 2. The equipment is completely exposed, allowing for simultaneous handling and unloading from all directions without being restricted by the container, significantly improving efficiency. Furthermore, the bottom of the container serves as the base for the emergency repair tower, eliminating the need for special processing, storage, and handling. The tower can be erected directly on top, omitting foundation preparation and transportation steps, resulting in maximum efficiency.
[0079] In some technologies, the foundations of emergency repair towers may be exceptionally large due to design requirements, making them unsuitable for transport within standard shipping containers. This increases the difficulty and cost of transportation, necessitating the search for specialized transport methods or customized transport vehicles.
[0080] Furthermore, the foundations of emergency repair towers are typically made of high-strength materials to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity. This makes the foundations very heavy, making them difficult to handle and install using conventional loading and unloading equipment.
[0081] For emergency repair tower foundations that exceed the dimensions of standard containers, specialized transport vehicles such as flatbed trucks, low-lift trucks, or heavy-duty cranes are used. These vehicles have greater loading capacity and adaptability, meeting the transportation needs of emergency repair tower foundations.
[0082] For emergency repair tower foundations that are too large, they are designed as detachable or segmented structures to facilitate loading in sections during transportation. Upon arrival at the site, they are then reassembled using specialized tools and techniques. This process involves numerous steps and is inconvenient, impacting repair efficiency.
[0083] This disclosure presents a rapid loading and unloading storage and transportation container for equipment, suitable for the foundation setup and rapid deployment of equipment on power transmission line emergency repair towers. The container features a split design, with the main frame designed as a cuboid cover with an open bottom. This design allows easy access to the interior of the container from the bottom, improving loading and unloading efficiency.
[0084] The container chassis adopts a platform structure, serving not only as the bottom support for the storage and transportation container but also directly as the foundation for the power transmission line emergency repair tower, simplifying the emergency repair operation process. The multi-functional container chassis, acting as the bottom of the storage and transportation container, ensures the stability and safety of the equipment during transportation. Furthermore, it directly serves as the foundation for the emergency repair tower, eliminating the need for separate processing, storage, and transportation of traditional emergency repair tower foundations, thus reducing costs. Upon arrival at the work site, the main frame and container chassis can be quickly disassembled. After the main frame is lifted away, the emergency repair equipment can be directly stacked on the container chassis, significantly improving loading and unloading efficiency and construction speed.
[0085] Compared to traditional container loading and unloading methods via doors or tops, the modular design of this disclosure allows for direct loading and unloading from the bottom, significantly reducing loading and unloading time and labor costs. The integrated design of the repair tower foundation and the storage and transportation container simplifies on-site operations, shortens repair time, and improves overall construction efficiency. It eliminates the costs of separate processing, storage, and transportation of the repair tower foundation, reducing material and transportation costs. It also reduces storage space requirements and improves space utilization. The modular design allows the container chassis and main frame to be used independently, increasing flexibility and suitability for repair tasks of different scales and types.
[0086] In summary, the rapid loading and unloading storage and transportation container for equipment that also serves as the foundation for transmission line emergency repair towers, provided in this disclosure, significantly improves the convenience of equipment loading and unloading and construction efficiency through its modular design, multi-functional container chassis, and efficient loading and unloading methods.
