(54) Telecommunication and measurement tower


(57) The invention relates to the telecommunication and measurement tower having preferably a mast shape and equipped in its peak module with telecommunication antenna system and sets of sensors for various measurements, characterized in that it is provided with its own power supply unit operating continuously with neodymium magnetic drive, preferably located within the base of the tower.




Description


[0001] The subject of the invention is a telecommunication and measurement tower having preferably a mast shape and equipped in its peak module with telecommunication antenna system and sets of sensors for various measurements.

[0002] The Polish Patent PL 202 834 B1 discloses a polyadic expandable mast consisting of telescopically extendable tubular elements each of which consists of a head, tubular stem and crown. Initial element constitutes a control element based on a base anchored to the ground and is equipped with a hoisting winch fastened to the belt system reeved with a further movable elements. However, the final element is provided with a head adapted to fasten to radio devices. In addition, the mast is equipped with a pull off lines with studs combined elements. A characteristic feature of the mast is the equipment of an initial crown element in a located axially and semicircularly ended spindle mounted in the base plate. There is a articulated mounted lever in this mandrel which is fitted with a stabilizing pin element while the heads of both the initial and the movable elements are equipped with rotary mounted pull off discs with flange located diagonally provided with holes to attach pull off lines.

[0003] From the Polish patent application P 327 983 we know terrestrial antenna mast which consists of separately connected supporting sections having lightweight construction, provided with two triangular elements. In the vertices of the elements there are wing brackets, and removable bolt connections are apart the vertices of the triangular elements. Two further supporting segments are connected with at least one transition wing bracket which is located at symmetrically placed supporting parts of the segments.

[0004] From the Polish description of the utility model No. U 59577 we know the antenna tower which is a supporting structure for the antenna base stations in the mobile land communications. This tower consists of three separate masts, which in cross section are arranged at the corners of an equilateral triangle and are connected to each other by mutual structural tubes and separately embedded in these angled bars concentrations. Each of the masts is matched with located on the vertical axis and detachably connected to each other the lower and upper vertical segment. Each of the lower vertical segment is composed of three vertical rods connected inseparably with horizontal and diagonal structural ribs.

[0005] At the same time vertical bars have the two ends of the horizontal inextricably linked to the mounting plate with mounting holes.

[0006] From the Polish description of the utility model No. U-63567 we know the two-way high-voltage electricity pole overhead line, which core has a form of a column with crossbars fastened to the phase conductors situated symmetrically on both sides of it. This column is made of pre-tensioned prestressed concrete connected with flanges and pole arms situated perpendicular to the column and provided with insulator strings.

[0007] The aim of the invention is to provide such a telecommunication and measurement tower which is provided with its own drive unit operating continuously while being fitted at different heights of the tower corresponding to the next tower, integrated units of measuring and monitoring units for creating network monitor environmental parameters and other necessary size for establishing a data map and risks for the environment, agriculture, industry, and science, especially the preparation of detailed map data and threats. Measuring and monitoring systems of individual modules should run continuously by passing measured parameters and processing images to processing servers.

[0008] This objective is realized in the telecommunication and measurement mast according to the invention which characterizes in that it is provided with its own power supply unit operating continuously with neodymium magnetic drive, preferably located within the base of the tower.

[0009] The middle part is divided into several modules located at different ranges of height and equipped with systems for measuring the constant monitoring of environmental parameters and pass them continuously to servers.

[0010] Thanks to electrical power neodymium magnetic drive the tower can be installed according to the invention at any point on the Earth and its independence from the power network.

[0011] Thanks to this the tower according to the invention enables continuous measurement and monitoring of environmental parameters and other necessary size, and thus establish a network of continuous monitoring and mapping data and threads for the needs of natural environment, agriculture, industry and science.

[0012] The tower according to the invention is shown in the exemplary constructional solution on the drawing showing the tower divided into four modules in a perspective view.

[0013] The tower shown in the exemplary constructional solution consists of the following parts: a feeding unit (1) with a neodymium magnet drive, located in the base of the tower, with three measurements and monitoring modules (2,3,4), and the telecommunications module (5) located on in the top part of the tower.

[0014] The feeding unit (1) is equipped with a neodymium magnet drive continuously providing electricity to all measuring and monitoring devices and telecommunications placed in the tower.

[0015] Measuring and monitoring devices measure the parameters of environment in the scope corresponding to the maximum and minimum height of the module (2,3,4).

[0016] Preferably, this amount is 8-25 m for the module (2), 25-28 m for the module (3), and 28-30 m for a module (4).

[0017] Measuring and monitoring devices of individual modules communicate with a server that collects and compiles data in the form of ready-made maps of the structure of the risks, etc.

[0018] An important advantage of the tower according to the invention is the ability to install it at any point on the Earth, because it does not require a separate power supply from the power grid.
