Description

MODULAR TOWER

Technical sector

The present invention is related to the assembly of lattice towers specially designed for temporary assemblies, for example for tower cranes or similar applications, proposing a modular structure composed of basic parts that

allow

he mounting from different towers from great

stiffness and

resistance from a way quick and easy

with

nail basic parts

State of the art

Lattice structures are bearing formations composed of bars or profiles joined together by conventional methods, with which good performance of rigidity and resistance with low weight are obtained, said structures being usually used for the construction of elevated structures and towers, such as bridges, high-voltage towers, load lifting devices, etc.

The lattices can be composed of a single body that is completely assembled at the place of application, or they can be modular, consisting of partial pre-assembled factory substructures and that join together at the place of application, which simplifies, accelerates and It significantly reduces the assembly and disassembly of the whole structure in its way of use.

A common type of modular lattice structure is based on the use of sections called

quot; monoblockquot ;, for mounting towers or similar assemblies. This type of structures allows a great rapidity of assembly, but the structural set of the component sections and the assembly operations to be carried out at the place of application, are conditioned by the maximum dimensions of the sections allowed in the transport, also occupying said sections Lots of storage space.

Another common type of modular structures use sections called panelables, which are composed of relatively flat panels assembled together, so that these panels can be stacked taking up very little space, which facilitates transport and storage, but the size of the panels are limited by the characteristics of transport and the increase in flexibility they present as it increases

These types of structures facilitate and economize the assembly of towers, but nevertheless, they are limited for their application in a single design, their use for different dimensions or tower applications not being foreseen and their adaptation to structures of different heights not being possible with sections of variable widths.

Object of the invention

In accordance with the present invention a modular tower is proposed, with which advantageous functional characteristics are obtained, since it allows the assembly and disassembly of towers quickly, easily and economically, allowing the construction, in a quick and simple way, of different types of towers with good resistant and bearing characteristics.

This tower object of the invention consists of simple basic structures, composed of bars or profiles joined together by joining methods, which are assembled to form tower sections that, joined together, make up the desired tower assembly.

With these basic structures, sections of constant cross-section can be formed, as well as transition sections to join sections of different cross-sections, using different types of structures depending on the position and type of the sections for which they are intended. With this, both straight and transitional sections are used

nail

squads destined to to form the corners of the

stretch,

So how separators that be place between the

squads,

for increase the section cross of the

stretch.

A tower is thus obtained whose assembly is fast and simple, which allows the pre-assembly of sections of the tower on the floor, facilitating the assembly of the whole tower to be built, at the place of application, and also with a formation through basic structures, with which, with the same set of basic structures, different towers can be mounted according to the needs, said basic structures occupying little space for storage and transport.

Therefore, said modular tower object of the invention results in certain advantageous features, acquiring its own life and character

preferred for the function of building modular towers of different configurations, to which it is intended.
