[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for manufacturing a spiral staircase for a vertical cylindrical storage tank, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: First, determine the chord length of the planar projection circle of the spiral line of the inner side plate of the spiral staircase; on the chord length connecting the start and end points of the spiral line of the inner side plate of the spiral staircase, divide the chord length into several equal parts, and determine the dimensions corresponding to the intersection of the perpendicular line of each division point of the chord length and the arc of the planar projection circle of the inner side plate of the spiral staircase.
[0008] Step 2: Fabricate a spiral staircase jig, which includes a jig base, a jig upright plate, and a jig top steel strip;
[0009] Draw a center line along the length of the base of the jig. Based on the chord length of the inner plate of the spiral staircase obtained in step one, mark the start and end points of the chord length on the base of the jig. Calculate the length of each division based on the number of equal divisions of the chord length in step one, and mark the division points on the base of the jig.
[0010] A mold vertical plate corresponding to each of the points is made, and the height of each of the mold vertical plates is calculated as the dimension corresponding to the intersection of the vertical line of each of the points and the projected arc of the inner side plate of the spiral ladder, and the width B of each of the mold vertical plates is A / sinβ, wherein A is the width of the inner and outer side plates of the spiral ladder, and β is the rise angle of the spiral ladder; the mold vertical plate is fixed to the surface of the mold base corresponding to the points, and the angle between the mold vertical plate and the length direction of the mold base is the rise angle β of the spiral ladder;
[0011] The top steel band of the mold is fixed to the top of the mold vertical plate;
[0012] In step three, the inner side plate of the spiral ladder with the divided lines of the steps of the spiral ladder is fixed to the top steel band of the mold of the spiral ladder;
[0013] In step four, one end of each of the step plates of the spiral ladder is fixed to the inner side plate of the spiral ladder according to the divided lines of the steps of the spiral ladder;
[0014] In step five, the outer side plate of the spiral ladder with the divided lines of the steps of the spiral ladder is fixed to the mold of the spiral ladder with the other end of the step plate, and the assembly of the spiral ladder is completed.
[0015] Further, in step two, the mold base is made of H-shaped steel or box-shaped square tube.
[0016] Further, the mold vertical plate is made of Q235 steel plate with a thickness of 6 mm.
[0017] Further, in step two, the height of each of the mold vertical plates is 200 mm higher than the calculated value.
[0018] Further, in step three, the inner side plate of the spiral ladder and the top steel band of the mold are fixed by the clamps arranged at intervals, and the clamps are provided with clamping grooves for clamping the inner side plate of the spiral ladder and the top steel band of the mold.

The storage tank and the spiral ladder involved in the present application are as shown in the figure, and the overall concept of the manufacturing method is to first fix the inner side plate 6 of the spiral ladder on the spiral jig, then according to the spiral ladder construction drawing, to point weld and fix one end of the step plate 7 to the inner side plate 6 of the spiral ladder, to naturally form the spiral line of the outer side plate 8 of the spiral ladder at the other end of the step plate 7, and then to point weld and fix the outer side plate 8 of the spiral ladder and the step plate 7. After the step plate and the side plate are completely point welded and fixed, the welding of the spiral ladder on the spiral ladder jig is completed, and then the spiral ladder is completed after cooling, and the overall hoisting condition is met. Figure 1
[0028] Theoretical calculations
[0029] By calculation, firstly, the chord length of the plane projection circle of the helical line of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 is determined; on the chord length connecting the starting point and the ending point of the helical line of the helical ladder inner side plate 6, the chord length is equally divided into several parts, and the corresponding size of the intersection point of the vertical line of each equally divided point of the chord length and the plane projection circle arc of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 is determined.
[0030] Manufacture of spiral disc ladder tool
[0031] The helical ladder mold comprises a mold base 3, a mold vertical plate 4 and a mold top steel belt 5.
[0032] The helical ladder mold base plate is made of H-shaped steel or box-shaped square tube, and the general length is 12 meters, which is greater than the chord length of the helical line of the helical ladder.
[0033] A center line is drawn along the length direction of the mold base 3, the starting point and the ending point of the chord length are drawn on the mold base 3 according to the chord length of the helical ladder inner side plate obtained in step one, and the length of each equally divided part is calculated according to the equally divided number of the chord length in step one, and the equally divided points are marked on the mold base 3.
[0034] As shown in the helical ladder manufacturing calculation schematic diagram, Figure 6 the chord length corresponding to the starting point and the ending point of the helical ladder is equally divided into n parts in the plane projection view of the helical ladder inner side plate 6, the more the equally divided points are, the more accurate the calculation result is, and considering the manufacturing convenience and the accuracy meeting the construction requirements, the equally divided points are generally taken as 22 equally divided parts. Correspondingly, a center line is drawn along the length direction of the mold base 3, two end points of the chord length of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 are drawn according to the calculation result, the chord length of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 is also equally divided into n parts, and considering the manufacturing convenience and the accuracy meeting the construction requirements, the equally divided number is generally taken as 22, and the number of equally divided points is consistent with the number of equally divided parts of the chord length of the plane projection of the helical ladder inner side plate.
[0035] The helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is made of Q235 steel plate with a thickness of 6 mm, and each equally divided point on the mold base 3 corresponds to the helical ladder mold vertical plate 4. The number of the helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is consistent with the number of the equally divided parts on the mold base 3.
[0036] The calculation value of the height of each helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is the size corresponding to the intersection point of the vertical line of each equally divided point on the chord length of the plane projection circle of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 and the plane projection circle arc of the helical ladder inner side plate 6 determined in step one.
[0037] As shown in the helical ladder manufacturing calculation schematic diagram, Figure 4 the width of each helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is the same, and the value is calculated by a trigonometric function, the width B of each helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is A / sinβ, wherein A is the width of the helical ladder inner and outer side plates, and β is the rise angle of the helical ladder; the helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 is fixed on the surface of the mold base 3 corresponding to the equally divided points, and the angle between the helical ladder mold vertical plate 4 and the length direction of the mold base 3 is the rise angle β of the helical ladder.
[0038] The cutting height of each die upright plate 4 is calculated by adding 200mm to allow for welding positions and prefabrication allowance for the inner side plate of the spiral staircase.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of equally spaced points marked on the jig base 3 is the same as the number of jig upright plates 4. The jig upright plates 4 are spot-welded to the jig base 3 in the order of equal division. During spot welding, a center line is drawn in the width direction of the jig upright plate 4 for easy positioning.
[0040] When spot welding the jig upright plate 4, use a right-angle ruler to check the verticality of the jig plate. Spot welding should be performed on both sides of the jig upright plate 4 to ensure a stable and reliable fixation. After spot welding, weld the jig upright plate 4 to the jig base 3. After welding, check and adjust any deformation caused during the welding process to ensure the angle and verticality of the jig upright plate 4 after welding. After spot welding is completed, weld the jig upright plate 4 to the jig base 3.
[0041] Make an angle template. The angle between the jig stand plate 4 and the jig base 3 along the length direction is the helix angle β of the spiral staircase 2.
[0042] The direction of the angular spot welding of the jig stand plate 4 is determined by the rotation direction of the spiral ladder 2. That is, the spiral ladder 2 is left-handed (when the operator walks on the spiral ladder 2 to climb onto the storage tank 1, the left hand is close to the tank wall of the storage tank 1, which is left-handed), and the angle of the jig stand plate 4 is higher on the left and lower on the right (when facing the cross section of the jig base 3, and the position is perpendicular to the center line of the length direction of the jig base 3, the left side of the jig stand plate 4 appears higher and the right side lower). According to the above principle, the position line of each jig plate is marked on the jig base 3 using an angle template.
[0043] The top steel strip 5 of the fixture is 6mm thick, with a width consistent with the width of the spiral staircase side plate and a length consistent with the length of the spiral staircase inner side plate.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, after the jig upright plate 4 is welded and cooled, the top steel strip 5 of the jig is spot welded to the top of the jig upright plate 4. During spot welding, check the gap between the top steel strip 5 of the jig and each jig upright plate 4 at the contact point. It should be uniform. After spot welding, each jig upright plate 4 is welded to the top steel strip 5 of the jig by segmented welding to complete the fabrication of the spiral ladder jig.
[0045] Butt welding of spiral disc ladder set
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase with the digits of the spiral staircase steps already marked is fixed to the top steel strip 5 of the spiral staircase fixture.
[0047] Specifically, on the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase, the position of each step plate is marked according to the construction drawing, and the side with the step division line is fixed to the spiral staircase manufacturing jig.
[0048] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 In the preferred embodiment, the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase and the top steel band 5 of the jig are fixed by the spacer clamp 9, and the clamp 9 has a slot on one section for clamping the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase and the top steel band 5 of the jig.
[0049] One end of each spiral staircase step plate 7 is spot welded to the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase according to the step division line marked on the inner side plate 6 of the spiral staircase, and the other end of the step plate 7 forms a curve at the step end point, which naturally forms the spiral line of the outer side plate of the spiral staircase.
[0050] The outer side plate 8 of the spiral staircase with the spiral staircase step division line is spot welded to the outer side plate 9 of the spiral staircase with the other end of the step plate 7 as the jig, and the assembly and fixation of the spiral staircase are completed.
[0051] Specifically, the positioning line of each step plate is marked on the outer side plate 8 of the spiral staircase according to the drawing, and the side with the positioning line is downwardly spot welded to the step plate 7 one by one.
[0052] After the outer side plate 8 of the spiral staircase and the step plate 7 are firmly spot welded, the overall welding of the spiral staircase 2 is performed, the welding seam between the step plate and the side plate is performed according to the requirements of the drawing, and two welders are arranged to weld in sections in the order from the center to the sides to reduce welding stress concentration. After welding, natural cooling is performed to complete the manufacturing of the spiral staircase.
