Definitions

  • the invention relates to poles made from reinforced polymers (Fiber Reinforced Plastics - FRP), the production process of poles and the use of poles as a modular product.
  • reinforced polymers Fiber Reinforced Plastics - FRP
  • Reinforced polymers belong to the class of composites, and consist of polymers and reinforcing glass fibers or other materials (aramid, carbon, etc.) in various forms (yarns, matts, felts, fabrics, meshes).
  • the poles are widely used for overhead power distribution lines, for the support of transmission lines in telecommunications and for various public and private uses (lighting, road signs, camera support, flag poles, etc.).
  • Wooden poles have considerable disadvantages due to the nature of wood (natural product), such as being attacked by insects, microorganisms and the weather conditions. Therefore, they require impregnation with dangerous pesticides, the use of which is subject to restrictions (e.g. creosote - DIRECTIVES 98/8/EC, 2011/71/EU). Wooden poles can also spread the fire, and when used in power distribution significant current leakages to the ground occur and reduce the network efficiency. Finally it is a non-industrial product with seasonal production which is not always predictable, with negative consequences on the availability (need to keep large stocks) and the price.
  • WO00/36261 A1 presenting poles capable of supporting overhead electrical or telephone lines, lighting equipment or others from reinforced plastic
  • the poles consist of portions with dimensions that one end of a portion can be inserted into the end of an adjacent portion.
  • One of the major issues raised in the above mentioned case is that the hollow parts have to be of the same shape in order to fit with each other.
  • the poles are not constructed entirely of fiber reinforced plastic, which creates the need to maintain the poles and raises the relevant cost.
  • the present invention relates to poles made of FRP, which consist of individual parts of suitable shape so that:
  • the poles of the invention consist of two or more (depending on the total height and the desired strength) hollow (hollow) parts (tubes) of constant cross-section (cylindrical, polygonal, oval, etc.) which are connected by respective annular joints (connectors) with circumferential grooves on each side.
  • the hollow parts of constant cross sections are shaped to serve the operational needs of customers in an optimal way (e.g. cross section with grooves for the easy Installation of the cable support fittings, cross section with stiffening ribs, cross section with a channel for cables crossing etc.). They also have appropriate wall thickness to meet customer requirements in terms of the mechanical strength and rigidity of the poles.
  • Each annular joint connects two successive hollow cross sections (tubes) and is shaped so that the one side fits to the upper section and the other side fits to the lower section.
  • the upper side of the joint has a circumferential groove into which the upper section is inserted snugly and ends.
  • the lower side of the joint has a circumferential groove into which the lower section is inserted snugly and ends.
  • Adhesive is applied for the welding of the joints with the hollow sections, which may be combined with mechanical restraint (e.g. screws, pins, cotter pins, rivets etc.), which is either permanent or temporary (until the adhesive is polymerized) and removable.
  • mechanical restraint e.g. screws, pins, cotter pins, rivets etc.
  • the application of the adhesive can be performed by simply spreading into each groove of the joint before placing the respective tube (hollow part) in it. It can also be performed by Injecting through a special applicator, either In the groove of the joint before placing the respective hollow part (as mentioned above), or after the placement of the respective hollow part (tube) in the groove of the joint through an appropriately shaped hole, which leads the adhesive into the gap, In order to achieve the welding.
  • the poles of the invention also have a cap, which fits on the last upper section and is placed on top of the poles ensuring water tightness,
  • the cap has a circumferential groove at its lower side into which the last upper section of the pole is Inserted snugly and ends.
  • the poles of the Invention may include additional components (rings, inserts, etc.) and configurations (holes, channels, etc.) according to the user's needs.
  • additional components rings, inserts, etc.
  • configurations holes, channels, etc.
  • the opening of transverse through-holes to the poles in which internal (reinforcing and guiding) tubes are applied and adhered. These holes are used for passing components, screws and cables (for example, near the top of the pole) or/and for mounting removable steps at regular intervals, allowing technicians to climb and stand in order to perform tasks.
  • the production method of the poles of the invention has two production steps of the aforementioned individual parts, and an assembly step.
  • the first two steps which are independent of each other and can be executed in parallel, require specialized industrial equipment, personnel and facilities.
  • the assembly step is designed so that it doesn't require specialized personnel or facilities.
  • the constant cross section hollow parts (tubes) of the poles of the invention can be produced by various reinforced polymer production methods (resin transfer molding, contact molding, filament winding, etc.), but are preferably produced by the pultrusion method, which Is an industrial, automated, large capacity and competitive method and gives products of reproducible quality and dimensional accuracy.
  • the annular joints and the cap can also be produced by various reinforced polymer production methods (casting, resin transfer molding, etc.), but are preferably produced by the compression molding method, which also has the same - as abovementioned - characteristics, i.e. Industrial, automated, large capacity, competitive, reproducible and accurate In terms of the dimensions of the produced products.
  • poles of the invention as a modular product is feasible, because the step of the poles assembly provided by their production method is not demanding in terms of expertise, equipment, facilities, utilities, etc., and can therefore be performed by the end user of the poles, with manuals and materials which are delivered together with the poles, even at the site of the final installation of the poles.
  • the poles of the Invention are delivered either fully assembled and ready for installation, i.e. as the existing common poles are delivered, or as a modular product, i.e, divided In its Individual parts.
  • the design of the poles of the invention allows their packaging to be used as a modular product in such a way so that the volume required during their transport is submultiple of the volume of the assembled pole. This is done by placing the pieces of smaller cross section (with the corresponding joints) in the pieces of the next larger cross section etc..
  • the poles of the invention are suitable for each and every use (power distribution, telecommunications, lighting, etc.).
  • poles of other cross sections is not excluded (e.g. polygonal, oval, with functional recesses and channels, with stiffening ribs, etc.), representative designs (figures) of which have also been added.
  • the poles consist of successive parts of constant cross-section of different shape (e.g. cylindrical parts at the base for the even distribution of mechanical stresses and polygonal at the top for the easier mounting of the arms and the support parts of the cables). This is achieved by appropriately adjusting the shape of the respective joints, in order to fit to the different (upper and lower) sections.
  • Figure 1 shows (In perspective view and in side view) an example of a pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, which consists of three successive cylindrical parts, which are connected with joints.
  • the upper cylinder has a cap.
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 show in greater detail (in perspective view, top view, side view and sectional view) three individual parts of the pole with constant cylindrical section.
  • the size of the cross section of the lower part is larger, of the middle part intermediate and of the upper part smaller. All the parts with constant cross section may be produced by the pultrusion method,
  • FIGS 6 and 7 show in greater detail (similarly) the joints that connect the successive cylindrical sections in pairs. This means that the lower joint, which Is larger one, connects the lower cylindrical part of the pole with the Intermediate, and the upper joint, which is smaller one, connects the intermediate cylindrical part of the pole with the upper.
  • Each joint is designed so as to "receive" at appropriately shaped circumferential grooves (recesses) the two cylindrical sections (upper and lower) which it connects, in order firstly to achieve the strong adhesion between the joint and the sections with adhesive, and secondly the assembling of the section to be performed accurately (the sections "end” in the grooves (recesses) of the Joint, without the need for measuring, leveling, etc.). All the joints can be produced by the compression molding method. The design of the joints ensures that the successive sections overlap at a small part of their length, so that the connection Is resistant against bending.
  • Figure 8 shows in greater detail (similarly) the cap, which fits with the upper cylindrical part and Is placed on top of the pole of the invention.
  • the connection of the cap to the cylindrical part the welding, Its assembly and production (compression molding), exactly the same apply as mentioned above for the joints.
  • the design of the cap ensures tightness, regardless of good or bad application of the adhesive.
  • the top of the cap is slightly curved; however caps with flat, conical or of any other shape surface are not excluded, depending on the requirements of the use.
  • Figure 9 shows (in perspective view and sectional view) a pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, which has two transverse through holes at a short distance from its top for passing components, screws and cables and at a lower height five transverse through holes (in vertical direction comparing to the previous) for placing removable steps (stiles).
  • Fitted, strong, inner tubes are welded at all the holes, which : a. strengthen the pole and prevent its shattering in case threaded fittings, through-bolts, etc., must be tightened, b. direct the passing of rods, cables, ropes etc., and c. prevent the communication of the holes with the inside of the pole, the entry of water, insects, etc.,
  • Figure 10 shows the assembly process of the pole in successive steps. All the steps of the assembly can take place either at the factory (before the delivery of the pole as a finished product) or on-site at the installation location (after the delivery of the pole as a modular product).
  • the joints and the cap are welded to the corresponding lower cylindrical sections, by applying an adhesive (K).
  • the application of the adhesive can be made in all possible ways (spreading, infusion, injection, etc.), depending on the viscosity of the adhesive and the specific design of the joints and the sections. Similarly the type of adhesive application equipment vary (spatula, pressing machine with static mixer, etc.). The welding can also be combined with mechanical restrain, either permanent or temporary, until the completion of the polymerization (hardening) of the adhesive.
  • the first step of the assembly (A) preferably takes place at the factory (before delivery) even when the pole is delivered as a modular product. This is partly because, after the first step, the individual parts of the pole may still be placed inside one another (in order to be transported easily and inexpensively), and also because by performing the first step at the factory the labor that must be done on-site and the corresponding installation time of the pole are reduced.
  • the Joints are welded to the corresponding upper cylindrical sections, by applying an adhesive (K), In this way the Individual assemblies resulted from the first step are joined to form the final pole (C). Regarding the application of the adhesive and mechanical restraint exactly the same are applied as mentioned for the first step.
  • the second step is always performed on-site.
  • Figure 11 is a schematic representation of of adhesive application by injection in the gaps between the joints and the cylindrical sections, by using the pressing device.
  • the assembly process consists of: a the mounting of the cylindrical parts at their place, which may be combined with a permanent or temporary mechanical fixing (e.g. with pins), and b. the application of the adhesive by the applicator through holes that lead the material to fill the gaps in order to achieve the welding. If the adhesive has two components, the mixing occurs in a static mixer of the applicator, to avoid mistakes.
  • Figures 12, 13 and 14 show the individual parts of another version of the pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, which pole is of octagonal cross-section.
  • the pole of this version consists of successive sections of constant octagonal cross-section, the corresponding joints that fit to the octagons and the cap similarly.
  • Figure 12 shows (in perspective view, top view, side view and sectional view) a part with an octagonal shaped constant cross-section
  • Figure 13 shows (similarly) an octagonal shaped joint
  • Figure 14 shows (similarly) the corresponding cap.
  • Figure 15 shows the corresponding assembly steps of the octagonal pole which are not substantially different from those of the corresponding cylindrical described above.
  • Figure 16 shows (in perspective view) a pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, with an oval cross section.
  • the joints are designed to fit to the oval cross-sections, to ensure the required overlap and to connect strongly.
  • the image 16a shows two successive oval cross sections connected to a joint and image 16b shows an oval cross-section.
  • Figure 17 shows (in perspective view) a pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, with a composite cross section, which is cylindrical, but also forms an internal channel which facilitates the passing and protection of the cables.
  • image 17a shows two successive sections with a channel connected to the joint and image 17c shows the same components (two cross sections and a joint) before the assembly.
  • image. 17b shows a cross section with a channel separately and Image 17e shows a joint separately.
  • Figure 18 shows (in perspective view) a pole which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, with a composite cross section, which is cylindrical, but also forms grooves for fixing channels, fittings, branch boxes, cables, etc.. Regarding the joints exactly the same are applied as mentioned above. Images 18a and 18e show two successive sections with grooves, connected with a joint. Image 18b shows a cross-section separately and images 18c and 18d show each joint separately.
  • Figure 19 shows (in perspective view) a pole of the invention which consists of successive sections of constant cross-section of different shape. Specifically, the bottom section is cylindrical, while the upper section is octagonal. Images 19a and 19b show two successive sections (cylindrical at the bottom and octagonal at the top) connected to the joint, and image 19c shows the same components (two cross sections and a joint) before the assembly.
  • the joint (image 19d, separately) that connects the two different sections, is designed so as to fit to both sections, having a circular groove at Its bottom side and an octagonal groove at its top.
  • Figure 20 shows the individual parts of the pole, i.e. the cylindrical parts that have been produced by the pultrusion method and the joints and the cap that have been produced by the compression molding method, and the first assembly step of these pieces is described In pairs (see explanation of figure 10 - step A, as mentioned above), which takes place at the factory.
  • Images 20a and 20b show the pieces (three sections, two joints and cap) separately from one another.
  • Images 20c and 20d show the pieces glued in pairs (lower cylinder + lower joint, intermediate cylinder + upper joint, upper cylinder + cap) as obtained after the step A of the assembly at the factory.
  • Images 20e and 20f show the same abovementioned pairs but In reverse order (with no other change), that can be placed one Inside the other.
  • Figure 21 shows the placing of partially assembled pieces (pairs) telescopically one inside the other.
  • the packaging is done in the factory before shipment, so as to reduce the length and the volume occupied by the modular pole, to facilitate its transportation and to be possible even by a smaller vehicle.
