Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of railway engineering machinery, and in particular relates to a semi-tank container structure. Background Art

[0002] The tanks in existing containers are all standard tanks, and the tanks are supported by the frame structure with corner pieces at the four ends of the container. If the tank needs to be integrated with other equipment to achieve multi-functional purposes, other equipment needs to be connected to the container from the outside. The separate settings occupy a large space and are inconvenient for transportation, connection and lifting. The frame of the tank container is a full tank structure, and other large component structures cannot be installed in the container. In addition to the function of transporting the medium, the device cannot integrate other functions and has poor independence. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the existing full tank container structure, such as single function, poor independence, need to be set up separately when cooperating with other equipment, large space occupation, inconvenient transportation, connection and lifting, and provide a half tank container structure, where the half tank refers to a non-standard size tank.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0005] A semi-tank container structure is special in that it comprises a supporting frame, an intermediate square frame and a semi-tank; the supporting frame comprises two rectangular end frames, two upper beams and two lower beams connecting the corresponding vertices of the two rectangular end frames; the intermediate square frame comprises an intermediate upper crossbeam, an intermediate lower crossbeam and two auxiliary columns; the intermediate square frame is fixedly arranged in the supporting frame and is parallel to the two rectangular end frames; it and the rectangular end frames on both sides respectively form a semi-tank installation position and an operation room; the two ends of the semi-tank are respectively fixedly mounted on the intermediate square frame and the rectangular end frames of the semi-tank installation position through skirt seats; the operation room is used to place equipment used in conjunction with the semi-tank; wherein the intermediate lower crossbeam and the two lower beams are both made of I-beams.

[0006] Furthermore, a guard plate is welded to the outer side of the auxiliary column to increase the volume of the half tank body; since the middle square frame is located in the supporting frame, the overall size of the rectangular end frame of the supporting frame is larger than that of the middle square frame. During the design, in order to maximize and rationalize the volume of the entire half tank body, the radial size of the half tank body will be chosen to be compatible with the rectangular end frame. If this is the case, the end of the half tank body connected to the middle square frame will extend out of the auxiliary column. Therefore, a guard plate is welded to the outer side of the auxiliary column to facilitate the welding of the half tank body, while also supporting and protecting the half tank body.

[0007] Furthermore, each vertex of each rectangular end frame is welded with a container-specific corner piece; used for loading and lifting devices; the special corner piece is directly matched and fixed with the lock seat on the flat car, the connection is reliable, no bundling and reinforcement are required, and it can meet the container transportation conditions;

[0008] Diagonal braces are arranged between each rectangular end frame and the upper beam and the lower beam, between two adjacent side frames of each rectangular end frame, between the auxiliary columns on the operating room side and the upper beam and the lower beam, and between the auxiliary columns and the middle upper crossbeam and the middle lower crossbeam, which can further enhance the strength and rigidity of the supporting frame.

[0009] During manufacturing, the entire support frame can adopt a standard container frame, but in order to meet actual needs, the support frame needs to be divided into areas for installing equipment with different functions. At the same time, considering the load-bearing and support problems of the semi-tank body, combined with the space layout, an intermediate square frame is added. In order to effectively improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the frame, the force is transmitted to the special corner pieces at the four corners. The lower beam and the middle lower cross beam use I-beams to ensure reliable support.

[0010] Furthermore, the semi-tank body is a circular tank body, including a cylinder body and heads encapsulated at both ends of the cylinder body; wherein the cylinder body is welded from a plurality of cylinder sections, and the two heads are elliptical heads formed by integral cold pressing; the design of the semi-tank body draws on the tank body structure of traditional railway tank cars, relying on many years of successful design experience of railway tank cars, and comprehensively considers factors such as medium compatibility, processing and welding process performance and economy, and has the advantages of mature and reliable structure, convenient operation and low cost. The tank body water pressure test and non-destructive testing technology are used to ensure the quality of the tank body. Of course, the semi-tank body can also be other shapes besides circular, such as a square tank body, which has a larger design cost, more difficult processing technology, and poor operability; the rectangular end frame is a square end frame, which is more suitable for the circular tank body.

[0011] Furthermore, the operating room also includes a rolling door, a mask and vertical beams; the vertical beams are four, located on both sides of the rectangular end frame, connected to the upper beam and the lower beam, and arranged parallel to the auxiliary columns;

[0012] The rolling door includes an end door and two side doors; the end door is arranged at the rectangular end frame; the side doors are arranged on both sides of the operating room and installed between two vertical beams on each side;

[0013] The mask is wrapped around the periphery of the operating room and welded to the rectangular end frame and the middle square frame;

[0014] After closing the rolling door, not only the entire operation room becomes an enclosed space that meets the requirements of rain, dust and sun protection, but also it is easy to operate and beautiful in appearance; and there is a drain hole on the bottom panel to meet the drainage needs of the bottom of the operation room.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to prevent water from accumulating in the skirt, a drain port is provided at the bottom of the skirt.

[0016] Furthermore, a manhole and an air inlet are arranged on the top of the half tank body. The manhole is convenient for maintenance personnel to enter and exit the tank body, and the air inlet can effectively ensure that outside air enters the tank body to ensure the pressure balance inside and outside the tank body during operation. The opening of the air inlet is arranged downward to prevent flying birds, debris, etc. from accidentally entering the air inlet hole, blocking the opening and affecting the normal use of the device.

[0017] Furthermore, an end ladder is arranged on the rectangular end frame on the side of the half tank body; a handle is arranged on the rectangular end frame on the side of the operating room; and a walking platform is arranged on the top of the support frame.

[0018] Furthermore, a fire extinguisher mounting seat is also provided on the lower beam, and the fire extinguisher can be placed in the mounting seat, which plays a certain role in protecting the fire and disaster prevention of the entire device.

[0019] Furthermore, the middle upper cross beam and the upper beam are both made of square steel.

[0020] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. The present invention divides the area in the standard container into two, one side is used to install the half tank body, and the other side is the operating room, and the division and layout are carried out according to actual needs. Since a non-standard tank body is installed in the support frame, it is necessary to add an intermediate frame (an upper intermediate beam, a lower intermediate beam and two auxiliary columns) to the support frame in consideration of the load-bearing capacity of the entire container, and install the half tank body on the rectangular end frame and the intermediate frame of the support frame through a skirt seat; at the same time, based on the dual considerations of the weight of the half tank body itself and its load-bearing capacity, the lower beam and the middle lower intermediate beam are both made of I-beams, because the longitudinal force of the I-beams is better, which can effectively improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the frame. The entire device has a compact structure, complete functions, strong independence, and is also very convenient to transport, connect and hoist.

[0022] 2. In the present invention, a guard plate is welded on the outer side of the auxiliary column to increase the volume of the half tank body; since the middle square frame is located in the supporting frame and the lower beam connecting the rectangular end frame is an I-beam, the overall size of the rectangular end frame is larger than that of the middle square frame. During the design, in order to maximize and rationalize the volume of the entire half tank body, the radial size of the half tank body will be selected to be compatible with the rectangular end frame. If designed in this way, the end of the half tank body connected to the middle square frame will extend out of the auxiliary column. Therefore, a guard plate is welded on the outer side of the auxiliary column to facilitate the welding of the half tank body. At the same time, the guard plate also plays a role in supporting and protecting the half tank body.

[0023] 3. Each vertex of the support frame in the present invention is welded with a container-specific corner piece, and the special corner piece is directly matched and fixed with the lock seat on the flat car, with a reliable connection, no need for bundling and reinforcement, and can meet the container transportation conditions, facilitating transportation and lifting.

[0024] 4. The half tank body of the present invention adopts a round tank body. Compared with tank bodies of other shapes, the design cost and processing difficulty are low, and the technology is mature and reliable.

[0025] 5. The top of the half tank of the present invention is provided with a manhole for maintenance personnel to enter, and an air inlet for balancing the internal and external pressures. The opening of the air inlet is arranged downward to prevent birds, debris, etc. from accidentally entering the air inlet, blocking the opening and affecting the normal use of the device.

[0026] 6. The manhole, side door, end door, end ladder, handrail and walking platform of the present invention can facilitate maintenance personnel to maintain and overhaul the entire device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The design principle of the present invention is:

[0035] Since the size of the half tank is not standard and not common, there is no half tank container structure on the market; however, combined with actual applications and market demand, the results show that the demand for half tanks is still relatively large. At present, designers have no reference model to learn from during the design and development process, and the entire half tank container structure is not just a single problem of adding an intermediate box to the support frame to support the half tank; it is necessary to fully consider how to divide the support frame into areas, the overall weight of the half tank after it is filled with liquid, how the middle part of the lower beam of the support frame can bear these weights together with the intermediate box after the area is divided, and how to balance the internal force of the support frame. A series of problems; after calculation and pressure test, the designer finally chose to use I-beams as the lower beams connecting the two rectangular end frames and the middle lower cross beams of the intermediate box, thereby enhancing the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the support frame from both the horizontal and vertical directions to ensure the safety and practicality of the half tank container structure.
