After the review is completed, each auxiliary support 1 is uniformly arranged with the center position 2 as the center, and each auxiliary support 1 is welded with the tank bottom plate.

[0027] During the review, the pull lines are pulled from one side of the tank side plate to the other side for multiple times, and it is detected whether the intersection points of the pull lines coincide with the center position. If they coincide, it is determined that the center position is correct. If they do not coincide, the center position is adjusted, and the review is performed again. The step is repeated until the intersection points of the pull lines coincide with the center position.

[0028] In the embodiment, the three auxiliary supports 1 are distributed in a triangular shape with the center position 2 as the center, and the bottom of each auxiliary support 1 is welded and connected with the tank bottom plate.

[0029] The fixing step S3 comprises placing the tank top center plate on the top of the auxiliary support and fixing it.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the tank top center plate is aligned with the center position, that is, the center of the tank top center plate 3 is aligned with the center position 2. When aligned, a plumb line can be arranged at the center of the tank top center plate. If the plumb line is on the same vertical line with the center position 2, it indicates that the center of the tank top center plate 3 is aligned with the center position 2. Otherwise, the position of the tank top center plate is adjusted until the center of the tank top center plate 3 is aligned with the center position 2. Then, the tank top center plate 3 is fixed with the top of each auxiliary support 1.

[0031] The positioning fixture mounting step S4 comprises mounting the positioning fixture on the angle steel ring at the top of the tank side plate.

[0038] Specifically, it is checked whether the position of the distance meter 7 is in the same vertical line as the center position 2.

[0039] When checking, the distance between the position of the distance meter itself and the angle steel ring 4 is measured by using the distance meter 7, and it is judged whether the measured distance is equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank.

[0040] If the measured distance is equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank, it indicates that the position of the distance meter 7 is accurate.

[0041] If the measured distance is not equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank, it indicates that the position of the distance meter 7 is not accurate, and the position of the distance meter 7 is adjusted at this time. The above steps are repeated until the position of the distance meter 7 is accurate. Specifically, the distance between the position of the distance meter itself and the angle steel ring 4 is measured by using the distance meter 7 again, and it is judged whether the measured distance is equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank. If the measured distance is not equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank, the position of the distance meter 7 is adjusted again, and the above steps are repeated until the measured distance is equal to the radius of the bottom plate of the storage tank, i.e., it is determined that the position of the distance meter 7 is accurate.

[0042] A sub-step S43 is provided for installing a positioning jig on the angle steel ring after the position of the distance meter is accurate.

[0043] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 to 4The positioning fixture 5 is in L shape, the first end of the positioning fixture 5 is connected with the second end of the angle steel ring 4 perpendicularly, the second end of the positioning fixture 5 is a free end, and the second end of the positioning fixture 5 is parallel to the second end of the angle steel ring 4, and the gap between the second end of the positioning fixture 5 and the second end of the angle steel ring 4 forms an accommodation space.

[0044] Preferably, the positioning fixture 5 is two, and the two positioning fixtures 5 are arranged on the second end of the angle steel ring 4 at intervals.

[0046] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 to 4 The first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is inserted into the accommodation space, the distance between the position of the range finder 7 itself and the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is measured by using the range finder 7, and it is judged whether the measured distance is equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate.

[0047] If the measured distance is equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate, it indicates that the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is accurate, the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is connected with the angle steel ring 4, and the second end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is connected with the center plate 3 of the tank top. Preferably, the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is welded with the angle steel ring 4, and the second end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is welded with the center plate 3 of the tank top.

[0048] If the measured distance is not equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate, it indicates that the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is not accurate, and the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 needs to be adjusted. The above steps are repeated until the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is accurate. Specifically, after adjusting the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6, the distance between the position of the range finder 7 itself and the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is measured again by using the range finder 7, and it is judged whether the measured distance is equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate. If the measured distance is not equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate, the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is adjusted again. The above steps are repeated until the measured distance is equal to the radius of the tank bottom plate, and it is determined that the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is accurate.

[0049] When adjusting the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6, the wedge is inserted into the accommodation space to adjust the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6. Specifically, the wedge is inserted into the gap between the first end of the positioning fixture 5 and the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6, and the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6 is pushed by the wedge, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate 6.

[0050] The positioning fixture installation step S4 and the connecting step S5 are repeated to install a plurality of arc-shaped top plates in turn until the installation of the tank top plate is completed.

[0051] In practice, each arc-shaped top plate 6 can have two positioning clamps 5 at its first end.

[0052] As can be seen, in this embodiment, an auxiliary support is installed on the bottom plate of the storage tank, and then the center plate of the tank top is fixed to the top of the auxiliary support. A positioning clamp is installed on the angle steel ring at the top of the side plate of the storage tank. The first end of the arc-shaped top plate is inserted into the positioning clamp, and then the arc-shaped top plate is connected to the angle steel ring and the center plate of the tank top. In this way, the height of the auxiliary support is determined before the center plate of the tank top is installed, which can accurately determine the position of the center plate of the tank top. Then, the positioning clamp is used to position the first end of the arc-shaped top plate, so that the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate is accurate. Since the position of the center plate of the tank top is accurate, the position of the first end of the arc-shaped top plate is also accurate. This can accurately position the arc-shaped top plate, improve the installation quality of the dome, and solve the problem of inaccurate positioning of the arc-shaped top plates in the dome in the existing design technology. This method can effectively improve the splicing accuracy, shorten the splicing time, improve production efficiency and quality, reduce labor intensity and safety risks, and is simple to operate, thus improving practicality.
