Description

The utility model relates to elements of building structures, is intended for supports of power transmission lines and can be used in the construction of precast-monolithic foundations for supports of power transmission lines.

LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

Transmission line supports are one of the most complex elements of a power transmission line (PTL). When designing and constructing these structures, it is necessary to take into account both the climatic and soil characteristics of the area. Currently, developers of supports and their elements strive to reduce the cost of production and improve the strength characteristics of products.

To ensure strength, transmission line supports can be secured to fixing devices (footrests, bases, foundations, etc.), which are reinforced concrete or metal structures, usually mushroom-shaped, with bolts or holes for fastening transmission line supports. Transmission line supports over 6 m must be accompanied by fixing devices.

Various structural elements intended for fixing transmission line supports are known from the prior art.

Thus, patent RU56905U1, published on September 27, 2006, discloses a shallow metal foundation consisting of metal elements and parts, contains a horizontal support element and vertical stiffening ribs fixed to it from above, supporting the supporting parts installed above for the structures of the above-ground part of the building. The shallow metal foundation can be equipped with distribution elements for combining it into joint work with adjacent shallow metal foundations. The cavities formed by the elements and parts of the shallow metal foundation can be concreted. The elements and parts of the shallow metal foundation can be protected with an anti-corrosion coating. The technical solution ensures an increase in the bearing capacity of the shallow metal foundation and, due to this, an expansion of the area of its possible use, including for the construction of buildings and structures for various purposes in areas of permafrost soils.

In addition, an invention is known (patent WO2010047618, published on 29.04.2010), which relates to the field of construction, namely, to shallow foundations, and can be used in the construction of precast-monolithic foundations for columns, supports, masts, power transmission line supports, etc., erected on a natural or artificial base during the construction of buildings and structures for various purposes, including when constructing strip or columnar foundations. The technical task of the invention is to simplify the design, reduce the metal consumption and increase the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation erected for a column, support, mast, power transmission line support on a natural or artificial base, including when constructing strip or columnar foundations. The task is solved by the fact that in the proposed technical solution the support part is equipped with lower and upper reinforcement meshes, and the stiffening ribs are placed in the form of at least three rays coming out of one center located on the vertical axis of the foundation, are made in the form of bent sections and are provided with stiffening elements, and the stiffening ribs are installed between the lower and upper reinforcement meshes, and the elements of connection of the column structure to the foundation part are made in the form of reinforcement leads. In addition, the bent profile of the stiffening rib is made in the form of a sinusoid, and the stiffening elements are installed along each stiffening rib in pairs on both sides.

Patent RU 2451136 C1, published on 20.05.2012, discloses a foundation for a power transmission line support and a method for increasing its durability. The foundation for a power transmission line support includes a support plate and a post located on it. The thickness of the concrete protective layer to the working reinforcement of the post is variable and changes depending on the operating conditions of the concrete along the height of the post. The technical result consists in increasing durability and reducing operating costs.

There is also a known utility model (RU 181319 U1, published 10.07.2018), which relates to the field of construction, namely to the structures of mushroom foundations, and can be used in the installation of overhead power lines for the construction of foundations for metal, reinforced concrete or combined posts or supports.

The mushroom-shaped foundation comprises a support plate and a post installed on it, connected to the support plate by means of a bolted connection. The post has two fastening plates protruding horizontally on both sides relative to the post, and in each of which three holes are made. In this case, the support plate in the central part has an elevation in the form of a truncated pyramid, in which six fastening bolts are installed, placed in the said holes of the fastening plates. Moreover, the fastening plates are fixed with nuts. The technical result is an increase in the strength and durability of the structure.

The utility model (RU 181281 U1, published 09.07.2018) relates to the field of construction, namely to the structures of mushroom-shaped foundations, and can be used in the installation of overhead power lines for the construction of foundations for metal, reinforced concrete or combined posts or supports. The foundation comprises a support plate and a post connected to it, tapering towards the top. The support plate is provided with two horizontal keyways, and the post in the lower part is provided with horizontal projections on both sides, placed in the said keyways. In this case, the horizontal projections of the post have a wedge-shaped profile with a narrowing in the peripheral direction relative to the post axis and are placed in the keyways, ensuring direct contact of the outer surface of the horizontal projections with the inner surface of the keyways, having a geometry that matches the horizontal projections of the post. The technical result is a simplification of the assembly and installation of the foundation.

The disadvantages of the given analogues are the massiveness and bulkiness of the structure as a whole, the cost of their transportation to the site, as well as the duration and complexity of assembly due to the complexity of the geometry of their elements.

The closest analogue of the proposed utility model is the technical solution known from patent document RU215200U1, published on 02.12.2022. This source discloses a utility model that relates to elements of building structures, is intended for power transmission line supports and can be used in the construction of precast-monolithic foundations for power transmission line supports. A fixing device for a power transmission line support is declared, having a mushroom shape and consisting of a horizontally oriented plate and a vertically oriented post, made with the possibility of a bolted connection. The bolted connection is ensured by means of a sleeve welded to the plate and a coupling welded to the post; a platform is welded to the upper end of the post, made with the possibility of connection to the power transmission line support. The plate and the platform are provided with stiffening ribs, wherein the stiffening ribs have the form of right-angled triangles with cut off sharp corners, the legs of which are welded to the plate and to the bushing, to the post and the platform, respectively, wherein all elements of the fixing device are made of metal. The technical result is to increase the strength, stability and reliability of the fixing device for the transmission line support; ensuring the possibility of quick installation of a stable structure of the fixing device for the transmission line support regardless of the terrain and climatic characteristics of the area.

The disadvantages of the closest analogue are lower resistance to bending loads, including lateral loads, increased material consumption for its manufacture and a fairly large weight of the product, and, as a result, the inconvenience of storage and transportation. In addition, one can point out the labor intensity of ensuring a strong and reliable coupling connection, and the larger the pipe size, the more effort must be applied during assembly and installation.

Thus, the analysis of the state of the art showed that there is a need to create a fixing device for a power transmission line support that would eliminate all the above-mentioned disadvantages of known solutions.

ESSENCE OF A UTILITY MODEL

The claimed solution is a fixing device for a power transmission line support, which has a mushroom shape and is a structure consisting of a plate (1) and a post (2) (Fig. 1).

The plate (1) is made horizontally oriented (Fig. 1) in the form of a metal sheet, i.e. made of metals or their alloys. The thickness of the plate (1) can be from 10 to 18 mm, most preferably from 14 to 16 mm. The plate (1) has a quadrangle with right angles in cross-section, i.e. a rectangle or square (Fig. 3A-3B).

The stand (2) is a vertically oriented square tube (Fig. 1-4). The stand (2) is made of metal, i.e. metals or their alloys. The side size of the stand (2) can be from 219 to 530 mm, most preferably from 219 to 325 mm, the thickness of the tube walls can vary from 8 to 16 mm.

The rack (2) is divided into two parts - lower and upper, connected to each other by a flange joint. The dimensions of the sides of the upper and lower parts of the rack (2) are the same.

The lower part of the rack (2) is welded with its lower end to the center of the plate (1) (Fig. 1, 3A-3B), and a flange (3) made in the form of a ring with round through holes (10) is welded to the upper end of the lower part of the rack (2) (Fig. 1, 4).

The design of the plate (1) with the lower part of the post (3) welded to it with a flange (3) increases the strength of the plate (1) and the device as a whole, providing a strong, reliable and stable connection with the post (2) without weakening the plate (1) itself with holes.

At the lower end of the upper part of the rack (2) a counter flange (4) is welded, made in the form of a ring with round through holes (10) (Fig. 1, 4).

The flange (3) and the counter flange (4) have the same diameter.

The flange connection is provided by connecting the flange (3) and the counter flange (4) by means of fasteners (11) secured in the aligned openings (10) of the flange (3) and the counter flange (4) (Fig. 1). Any fasteners applicable for flange connections may act as fasteners (11), in particular bolts, studs, nuts, etc. The flange connection is made coaxially to the post (2), i.e. the flange (3) and the counter flange (4) are welded coaxially to the post (2).

This design of the rack (2) of square cross-section with welded flange (3) and counter flange (4) more effectively implements the strength of the material from which it is made, without the need to make the elements of the device and the entire structure heavier and more complicated. In addition, the described design of the rack (2) with a flange connection ensures a more reliable and tight fastening of the device parts compared to other connections, minimizes the likelihood of gaps, backlashes, and creates greater strength in the connection unit. This design allows for increasing the strength of the fixing device for the transmission line support while reducing its material consumption (and, accordingly, its weight), without losing the reliability and stability of the device. The strength of the fixing device is increased, in particular, due to the stiffening ribs (8, 9) of the flange (3) and counter flange (4), as well as the fact that the corners of the square cross-section form additional stiffening ribs along the entire height of the structure. This, in turn, ensures easy and quick assembly and installation of the structure.

At the upper end of the upper part of the rack (2) a square-shaped platform (5) is welded (Fig. 1, 2A, 4).

For connection to the transmission line support, the platform (5) is provided with round through holes (6) (Fig. 2). The round through holes (8) are provided with fasteners (9) in the form of bolts with washers and nuts (not shown).

The design of the upper part of the rack (2) with a counter flange (4) and platform (5) welded to it increases the strength of the rack (2) and the device as a whole, ensuring a strong, reliable and stable connection with the plate (1) and the transmission line support without weakening the rack (2) itself with holes.

The cavity of the stand pipe (2) can be filled with filler. A standard filler applicable for filling building structures, such as hydrophobic polyurethane foam, can be selected as the filler.

The plate (1), platform (5), flange (3) and counter flange (4) are provided with stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9) (Fig. 1-4).

On the plate (1) there are stiffening ribs (7) in the form of a triangle with cut corners (Fig. 1, 3A-3B). Two sides of the stiffening ribs (7) are fixed to the plate (1) and the lower part of the rack (2) by welding (welding is indicated in Fig. 1).

On the platform (5) there are stiffening ribs (8) in the shape of a triangle with cut corners (Fig. 1, 2). Two sides of the stiffening ribs (8) are fixed on the platform (5) and the upper part of the rack (2) by welding (welding is indicated in Fig. 1, 2).

On the flange (3) and the counter flange (4) there are stiffening ribs (9) in the shape of a triangle with cut corners (Fig. 1, 4). Two sides of the stiffening ribs (9) are secured to the flanges (3, 4) and the upper and lower parts of the rack (2) by welding (welding is indicated in Fig. 1).

The stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9) and their design increase the strength of the fixing device as a whole, ensuring a reliable and rigid connection of all elements of the device, as well as the possibility of reducing the material consumption of the device (i.e. increased strength is ensured with a decrease in material consumption), which in turn ensures quick and easy assembly and installation of the structure.

The number of stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9) is a multiple of two, and the angle between the stiffening ribs can be calculated using the formula:

angle between stiffeners = 360 degrees/number of stiffeners.

For example, with a number of stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9) equal to four, the angle between them is 90 degrees, with six stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9), the angle between them is 60 degrees, with eight - 45 degrees, etc.

Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the utility model with eight stiffening ribs (7), four stiffening ribs (8) and four stiffening ribs (9) of the flange (3) and the counter flange (4). The number of stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9) may be the same.

All elements of the fixing device (plate (1), stand (2), flange (3), counter flange (4), platform (5), stiffening ribs (7, 8, 9)) are made of metal, i.e. from metals or their alloys. Metals and their alloys have the necessary structural strength (structural strength is a complex characteristic of a material that combines the criteria of strength, rigidity, reliability and durability). Iron or steel can act as metals or their alloys.

To protect against mechanical and/or chemical impacts, all elements of the fixing device can be coated with an anti-corrosion coating with a layer thickness of 100-150 µm. Any standard coating applicable for the protection of building metal structures can be selected as an anti-corrosion coating, for example, a two-component paint based on modified epoxy.

In particular cases of the proposed technical solution, the ratio of the dimensions of the fixing device is as follows. The side of the plate (1) is 3.1-3.3 of the side of the platform (5), the height of the plate (1) with the lower part of the post (2) and flange (3) welded to it is 0.2-0.23 of the height of the upper part of the post (2) with the counter flange (4) welded to it, and the height of the fixing device as a whole is related to the side of the plate (1) as 1.7-2.0 to 1.

The utility model, according to the proposed technical solution, can be completely manufactured in factory conditions. High structural strength of all elements of the fixing device, their shape and mutual arrangement, the use of a flange connection of parts of the fixing device allow to increase the strength of the device as a whole while reducing the material consumption of the device, which allows to facilitate the process and reduce the time of installation of the device, i.e. determine the possibility of quick and easy stable installation.
