Design and Analysis of Transmission Line Tower Erection Equipment

In response to the industry's problems of transportation difficulties, low efficiency, and high safety risks during the erection of high-voltage transmission line towers in mountainous areas, this paper proposes a light tower erection device that integrates connection, assembly, and fixing functions. The device adopts 180 mm Q345 equal-angle steel tower legs and is equipped with a hydraulic drive system. The tower body is raised through the coordinated work of the main and secondary hydraulic cylinders. In contrast, the vertical and horizontal hydraulic cylinders are used for auxiliary descent and precise fine adjustment. Its modular and lightweight structural design meets the transportation needs in narrow spaces in mountainous areas. The specifications of the hydraulic cylinder are determined by mechanical calculation, and the structural strength of the square tube and the main and secondary hydraulic cylinder connecting rods is verified by finite element analysis. Kinematic simulation confirms that the operating performance of the device is stable. This device provides an efficient and reliable piece of technical equipment for the construction of transmission lines in mountainous areas, which has important engineering application value and broad promotion and application prospects.
