Description

Pipe tower and base station

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application, filed Jan.

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication device installation technologies, and in particular, to a tower and a base station.

Background technique

The development of mobile communication services has brought a large number of communication site requirements. For various reasons, the traditional large-scale site acquisition is very difficult, and thus the base station equipment supplier is working to reduce the footprint of the base station design.

The current popular base station design scheme for reducing the footprint is to integrate the base station and the tower, that is, to install the base station into the inside of the tubular tower, thereby greatly reducing the floor space. However, this design also needs to solve the problem of heat dissipation and waterproofing of the base station.

A prior art tower-type base station, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a bottom tube tower 101, an upper tube tower 102, and an antenna 103. The tower wall of the bottom tube tower 101 is provided with an openable maintenance door 104, which is accommodated inside the tower body. There are various devices 108 for implementing communications. The lower portion of the bottom tube tower 101 is provided with an air inlet hole 105, the upper portion is provided with an air outlet hole 106, and an axial flow fan 107 is further disposed inside the tower body. Under the driving of the axial flow fan 107, outside air enters from the lower intake port 105, and is removed from the upper air outlet 106 (air flow), thereby cooling the device 108. Also shown in Figure 1 is an internal line 109.

This prior art has at least the following problems:

1. The cooling air is discharged from the lower equipment through the upper equipment, so that the temperature of the air reaching the upper equipment is too high, so that the upper equipment cannot be effectively cooled, and the phenomenon of overheating is prone to occur.

2. There is no lack of protective measures in the equipment inside the tower, which may lead to serious salt spray corrosion. For this reason, the inlet and outlet of the tower must be complicated in waterproof design; if the top of the tower is not well sealed and the water enters, the leakage will pass through the vertical ventilation path. Reach each device. For example, when the equipment is maintained or expanded, the maintenance personnel may operate the internal cables, such as dragging and shaking, resulting in failure of the top seal, and an accident in which the device is wetted by rain and the short circuit fails.

2a and 2b are perspective views of a tube tower according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the tube tower, wherein the equipment in the equipment compartment is displayed outside the tube tower. As shown in Figures 2a, 2b and 3, the tube tower provided by this embodiment comprises a tower wall 1 which may be formed from a suitable outer casing material which constitutes the main form visible to the exterior of the tower.

As shown in Figures 2a and 2b, the tower wall 1 is provided with vent holes, including a plurality of first vent holes 21 for air intake and a plurality of second vent holes 22 for air outlet, air communication inside and outside the tower wall 1 Through the vent hole, the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole 22 become the main way of heat in and out, the shape of the vent hole may be a circle as shown in the figure, and the plurality of vent holes are arranged in a rectangular area, The vents may also be in other suitable shapes or arranged in other suitable manners.

As shown in Fig. 3, the tower wall 1 is surrounded by an internal space. A plurality of equipment compartments 4 for accommodating the equipment 3 are arranged in the interior space, and a transverse plate 6 is arranged between each of the two equipment compartments 4 adjacent to each other. These devices 3 can be selected as needed, for example, various devices that implement communication functions. Ventilation means for the fan 5 are provided in some or all of the equipment compartments 4 as needed, but may not be installed in the equipment compartment 4 for equipment compartments 4 for installing equipment having low heat generation and/or high heat resistance. Ventilation device.

An air inlet duct is formed between the air inlet of the fan 5 and the first air vent 21, and an air duct is formed between the air outlet of the fan 5 and the second air vent 22. The air inlet duct is isolated from other equipment compartments and/or The air duct is isolated from other equipment compartments. The isolation here means that the air entering the air inlet duct does not come from or mostly does not come from other equipment compartments, or the airflow exiting the air duct does not enter or most does not enter other equipment compartments, and those skilled in the art should understand that this It can be realized by closing the inlet air duct or the air outlet duct of each equipment compartment in the pipe tower with respect to other equipment compartments or closing the equipment cabin itself.

In this embodiment, the pipe tower includes upper and lower equipment compartments, and ventilation devices are arranged in each equipment compartment to accelerate air flow and better heat dissipation of the equipment; the air inlet ducts of the equipment compartments are isolated from other equipment compartments. / or the outlet air duct is isolated from other equipment compartments, that is, the airflow entering each equipment compartment directly comes from the outside of the pipeline tower or the exhausted airflow directly reaches the outside of the pipeline tower, so that the heat generated by the equipment in the equipment compartment passes through each of the respective equipment compartments. The heat dissipation path is released to the outside of the tube tower, so that the hot air generated by the heat dissipation of the equipment compartment equipment does not enter the air inlet duct of the other equipment compartment through the internal space of the tower tower; the prior art is prevented from forming up and down through the various equipment compartments. The vertical heat dissipation air passage, so that the heat generated by the equipment in the lower equipment compartment enters the upper equipment compartment through the heat dissipation air passage, so that each equipment compartment has a relatively independent heat dissipation air passage, and the heat dissipation in the upper equipment compartment is not affected by the lower equipment The heat dissipation effect of the cabin.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2a, the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole 22 may be located on opposite sides of the tower wall 1. In this design, since the first vent hole for the intake air and the second vent hole for the air outlet are located on opposite sides of the tower wall 1, the air inlet and the outlet are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the equipment compartment 4, and the heat dissipation path is adopted. It is more reasonable to avoid local overheating in the equipment compartment 4.

Meanwhile, the height ranges corresponding to the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole 22 of the same equipment compartment 4 need to be within the height range of the equipment compartment 4 such that the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole 22 are in height. Corresponding to the equipment compartment 4, the air inlet and the outlet are relatively easy, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. It should be understood that in some possible designs, the height ranges corresponding to the first venting opening 21 and the second venting opening 22 of the same equipment compartment 4 may not be within the scope of the equipment compartment 4, which also falls within the requirements of the present disclosure. The scope of protection.

And, the height ranges of the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole 22 corresponding to the same equipment compartment 4 may be within the lower half of the height of the equipment compartment 4, that is, the first vent hole 21 and the second vent hole The position of 22 is lower, but the ventilation in the equipment compartment 4 can be placed in the upper part of the equipment compartment 4. Thus, the airflow for heat dissipation enters from the side of the lower portion of the equipment compartment 4, then to the ventilating device at the upper portion of the equipment compartment 4, and finally exits from the other side of the lower portion of the equipment compartment 4, thereby providing a cooling air duct path within the equipment compartment 4. Longer, it will help the equipment compartment to dissipate more comprehensively and evenly.

As shown in FIG. 3, a cabinet 7 is provided in each equipment compartment 4, and the equipment 3 in the equipment compartment 4 is installed in the cabinet 7. Since the cabinet 7 itself has a certain protective function, it is possible to prevent external moisture or pollutants from affecting the equipment 3 in the equipment compartment 4. The cabinet 7 may be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped or other suitable shape, and may have an openable door 71 as needed. The degree of protection of each cabinet 7 is equal to or higher than the degree of protection required for the equipment 3 installed in the cabinet 7, and the equipment 3 installed in the cabinet 7 can be required to be loaded or already installed. The degree of protection is the highest degree of protection required in the equipment installed in the cabinet, which can effectively protect the equipment 3 from rain, dust and salt spray. For example, the degree of protection of the cabinet 7 can be IP55, the first 5 in the IP55 indicates that dust can be prevented from intruding, and the second 5 indicates that the injected water can be prevented from intruding, so that rain, dust and salt spray can be avoided at the level of protection. Damage is caused to the device 3, and thus there is no need to perform a complicated waterproof design for the vent holes and the top of the tube tower as in the prior art. When the cabinet 7 is present, the fan 5 can also be installed in the cabinet 7, for example, at the upper portion of the cabinet 7, depending on the top plate of the cabinet 7 or the bracket structure disposed in the cabinet.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fan 5 is installed at the upper portion of the cabinet 7, and the air inlet duct in the equipment compartment 4 passes under the equipment 3 in the cabinet 7, that is, the fan 5 in the cabinet 7 is at the upper portion, and the device 3 is at the middle portion. The inlet passage is at the lower part. Since the airflow passes through the equipment in the cabinet from bottom to top and then reaches the upper fan 5, the heat generated by the device 3 can be better taken away.

In the present embodiment, the ventilating device uses a fan 5, which is a simple, but highly efficient, ventilating device that is simple to manufacture, install, and use, and can reduce the cost of manufacturing and using the pylon. However, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, other suitable types of ventilation devices, such as an air pump, etc., may also be employed. The fan 5 of the embodiment is more preferably a centrifugal fan, and includes a box body provided with an air outlet, that is, the box body covers the other places in the radial direction of the fan 5, leaving only the air outlet, so that the fan can be realized. The air is axially inflated, and then the air is discharged to the rear side. For example, when the fan 5 is installed at the upper portion of the cabinet 7, the airflow enters the axial air inlet of the fan 5 from the lower portion of the cabinet 7 through the device, and then exits from the air outlet of the casing. Finally, it is discharged from the second vent hole 22 on the pipe tower 1 to the outside of the pipe tower, and such a ventilation path can better remove the heat of the device 3. It should be understood that although the fan 5 shown in this embodiment is installed in the upper part of the cabinet 7 or the equipment compartment 4, in some possible designs, it may be installed in the lower part of the cabinet or equipment compartment or other locations as the case may be. As long as the ventilation function can be realized, the same falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Although the cabinet 7 is provided in each equipment compartment 4 in FIG. 3, for the equipment 3 with a higher level of protection, for example, an RRU (Radio Remote Unit) device with an IP55 protection level is located. The equipment compartment 4 can be installed without the cabinet, because it can achieve the functions of dustproof, water discharge and salt spray prevention; for other equipments 3 with low protection requirements, the equipment compartment 4 where the equipment compartment 4 is located can also be provided without the cabinet.

As shown in Fig. 3, the tower wall 1 is provided with maintenance doors 8, each of which is located behind the maintenance door 8, so that the maintenance door 8 can be easily opened and then the equipment 3 can be installed or removed in the equipment compartment 4. The second venting opening 22 can be disposed on the maintenance door 8, and in other embodiments, the first venting opening 21 can also be disposed on the maintenance door 8. Thus, the vent hole corresponds to the equipment compartment 4 behind the maintenance door 8, and can be better ventilated and dissipated. A maintenance door 8 in FIG. 3 corresponds to two equipment compartments 4, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and one or more equipment compartments 4 may be correspondingly arranged behind one maintenance door 8 as needed, that is, according to the equipment 3 The size and/or other flexibility required to separately set the number and size of the maintenance door 8 and the equipment compartment 4 increases the flexibility of the pipe tower layout.

As shown in FIG. 3, each equipment bay 4 may further include an air outlet window 72, which may be a box device including an air inlet and an air outlet. Figure 4a shows a section of the assembled tube tower, and Figure 4b shows a section of an assembled equipment compartment (i.e., the portion of the dashed line of Figure 4a). As can be clearly seen in Figure 4b, the outlet window 72 The air inlet is connected with the air outlet of the fan 5, and the air outlet of the air outlet window 72 abuts against the tower wall 1 and communicates with the corresponding second ventilation hole 22, so that for each equipment compartment 4, the air flow is from the left side. The first vent hole 21 enters, rises in the cabinet 7, reaches the air inlet of the fan 5, and then enters the air inlet of the air outlet window 72 from the air outlet of the fan 5, and then goes down to the air outlet of the air outlet window 72. Finally, it is discharged from the second vent hole 22. 4 shows that the windshield 72 is in close contact with the rear wall of the cabinet 7, and may not be installed independently of the cabinet 7, and may also not require the air outlet window 72, but directly connect or connect the air outlet of the fan 5 to the pipeline. The second venting opening 22 is connected to the pipe wall 1. Thereby, the air outlet ducts in the equipment bays 4 form a closed path, so that the hot air is directly discharged from the second vent holes 22 without affecting the heat dissipation of the equipment 3 of the other equipment bays 4.

Figure 5 shows schematically the air ducts in the equipment bays in the pipe tower. As shown in Figure 5, the air flow enters from the lower left side of the tower wall 1 and is carried by the fan 5 from the bottom up through the equipment bay 4. The device 3 reaches the wind inlet surface of the fan 5 (ie, the air inlet), then goes out on the right side of the fan 5, and then goes out through the lower right side of the tower wall 1, and walks a similar type of route, as shown in the figure. As indicated by the middle arrow line, note that the left and right sides are the directions shown in the figure.

The corresponding venting holes of the respective equipment compartments 4 on the tower wall 1 in FIG. 5 are different from each other, but in a variant embodiment different from the embodiment, the first venting holes 21 on the tower wall 1 may also be shared (also called As the air vent hole or the second vent hole 22 (also referred to as an air vent hole). Figures 6 and 7 show examples of a common inlet vent and a common outlet vent, respectively, wherein Figure 6 forms a common vertical inlet duct 9 between the tower wall and the equipment bay, Figure 7 in the tower wall and A common vertical outlet duct 10 is formed between the equipment bays. When there is a common vertical inlet duct 9, all of the inlet vents on the tower wall can be concentrated in one area, and the airflow enters from the first vent and then reaches the respective equipment compartment via the vertical inlet duct. When there is a common vertical outlet duct 10, all of the outlet vents on the tower wall can also be concentrated in one area, and the airflow exits the equipment compartments and then reaches the second vents via the vertical outlet ducts. In this way, the inlet vent or the outlet vent can be shared, that is, the arrangement of the inlet vent or the outlet vent is simplified, and the heat dissipation in each equipment compartment does not affect each other, and the heat in the equipment compartment is not passed through the wind. The road is passed to other equipment compartments.

8a, 8b and 9 show a base station according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes a tube tower provided in the previous embodiment and an antenna 11 disposed above the tube tower. In order to bring the antenna to a predetermined height, the tube tower includes, in addition to the bottom tube tower 12 provided with the equipment compartment, an upper tube tower 13 disposed above the lower portion, and the antenna 11 is disposed above the upper tube tower 13. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that as a base station, although not shown in the drawings, a power supply line and a signal line are provided in the tower, and at least a part of the signal line is connected from the bottom tube tower 12 to the antenna 11 via the upper tube tower 13. The bottom of the tube tower may also include a fixed mounting structure, such as a chassis having a threaded bore, such that the base station can be secured to the plane by means of screws.

In this embodiment, since the base station adopts the pipe tower in the previous embodiment, the pipe tower includes equipment compartments separated by upper and lower sides, and ventilation devices are arranged in each equipment compartment to accelerate air flow and better heat dissipation of the equipment; The air inlet ducts of each equipment compartment are isolated from other equipment compartments and/or the air outlet ducts are isolated from other equipment compartments, that is, the airflow entering each equipment compartment directly comes from outside the pipeline tower or the discharged airflow directly reaches the outside of the pipeline tower, thereby The heat generated by the equipment in the equipment compartment is released to the outside of the pipeline tower through the respective heat dissipation paths in the equipment compartments, so that the hot air generated by the heat dissipation of each equipment compartment equipment does not enter the air inlet ducts of other equipment compartments through the internal space of the pipeline tower; In the prior art, since the vertical heat dissipation air passage passing through the respective equipment compartments is formed, the heat generated by the equipment in the lower equipment compartment enters the upper equipment compartment through the heat dissipation air passage, so that each equipment compartment has a relatively independent The heat dissipation air passage and the heat dissipation in the upper equipment compartment are not affected by the heat dissipation of the lower equipment compartment; thus, the heat resistance durability of the base station can be improved. At the same time, when the tower has the above-mentioned various features, the base station also has the above various advantages brought about by the above various features, and details are not described herein again.
