Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel silo construction technology, and more specifically, to a transportation and installation system and method for steel silos in multi-story factory buildings. Background Technology

[0002] During the civil engineering work of the steel silo project inside the factory, the concrete frame structure was completed first, leaving the walls for transporting the steel silo materials unbuilt before transporting and installing the silo. However, the process involved hoisting the tile-shaped components made of rolled steel plates to the installation position, and then assembling them piece by piece on the concrete platform of the installation layer using simple tools. Each section was assembled first, then lifted to a certain height using a chain hoist to create space for the second section. This resulted in a section of the silo always being suspended in the air, which was extremely unsafe. The working space was cramped, construction was inconvenient, the workload was heavy, construction machinery could not be used, and the entire assembly process was very difficult. It was impossible to guarantee assembly accuracy and overall quality, and the completed concrete platform was easily damaged, making it impossible to protect the finished product. If the entire steel silo assembly were completed outside the factory and then hoisted, the installation space would be inside a multi-story concrete frame, and at a relatively high level, making hoisting to the correct position extremely difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a transportation and installation system and method for steel silos in multi-story factory buildings, which transports pre-processed silo sections to the upper level of the installation location. The silo sections can be welded to the already transported silo sections by hoisting from the upper level, making transportation and installation convenient and safe.

[0004] This invention provides a transportation and installation system for steel silos within a multi-story factory building, comprising hoisting components, transport components, and assembly hoisting components, wherein...

[0005] The hoisting components include hoisting machinery installed on the ground. A section inlet is provided on the wall at one end of the upper layer of the installation layer of the steel silo to be installed in the factory building. The section inlet is used for each cylindrical section of the steel silo hoisted by the hoisting machinery to enter the upper layer.

[0006] The transport component includes a transport vehicle installed on the upper layer, which is used to carry the silo section to the reserved through hole on the upper layer, and the reserved through hole is directly opposite the installation position of the steel silo;

[0007] The assembly and hoisting component is positioned above the reserved through hole. The assembly and hoisting component lifts the silo section and passes it through the reserved through hole to reach the position to be installed above it.

[0008] An external cantilever platform is provided on the outside of the warehouse section entrance. The lower end of the external cantilever platform and the warehouse section entrance are flush with the bottom plate of the upper layer. The transport vehicle loads the warehouse section hoisted by the hoisting machinery onto the external cantilever platform.

[0009] The transport vehicle is a sliding vehicle, and an electric winch is installed on the upper level. The electric winch is connected to the sliding vehicle, and the electric winch pulls the sliding vehicle to move back and forth on the upper level.

[0010] The number of electric winches is two, and the two electric winches are respectively set on both sides of the other end of the upper layer. The two electric winches are respectively connected to the sliding trolley, and the steel ropes of the two electric winches are respectively located on both sides of the reserved through hole.

[0011] The assembly and hoisting components include at least two electric chain hoists, which are installed on the upper top plate opposite the reserved through hole, and are connected to the upper end of the compartment section.

[0012] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for transporting and installing a steel silo in a multi-story factory building. The method utilizes the aforementioned transport and installation system for steel silos in multi-story factory buildings to complete the transport and installation of the steel silo, and includes the following steps:

[0013] S1: The hoisting component hoists the steel silo section to the silo section inlet;

[0014] S2: The transport vehicle transports the compartment section to the reserved through hole above the installation position;

[0015] S3: The assembly and hoisting component lifts the silo section, which passes through the reserved through hole and is hoisted above the previously delivered silo section;

[0016] S4: The lower end of the storage section is welded to the upper end of the previously delivered storage section;

[0017] S5: Until all sections of the steel silo are welded together, the steel silo is lifted using the assembly and hoisting components and installed in its final installation position.

[0018] The transport vehicle loads the warehouse section hoisted by the hoisting component onto the external cantilever platform.

[0019] After the assembly and hoisting components lift the warehouse section, the transport vehicle returns to the cantilever platform.

[0020] The compartments are manufactured at the processing plant.

[0021] Using the steel silo transportation and installation system and method for multi-story factory buildings according to the present invention, the steel silo is divided into several sections. The sections are manufactured in the processing plant and then transported to the upper layer of the installation layer by hoisting components. A transport vehicle then transports the sections to the pre-reserved through-holes. Finally, the sections are lifted by assembling hoisting components and moved from below the pre-reserved through-holes to above the installation position. The lifted sections are then welded together with the previously transported sections. This invention utilizes the upper layer of the installation layer for transporting sections, which is safe and labor-saving. The pre-reserved through-holes on the upper layer of the installation layer allow for greater hoisting space, requiring only welding between sections. This reduces the workload within the factory building frame, decreases welding and assembly time, avoids prolonged suspension of sections in the air, reduces work difficulty, increases work efficiency, enhances work safety, ensures assembly accuracy and overall quality, and prevents damage to the concrete factory building.

[0036] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the transport and installation system for a steel silo in a multi-story factory building according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a top view of the upper layer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the steel silo transportation and installation system proposed in this embodiment can be used for the transportation and installation of rolled steel silos in multi-story concrete structure factories, as well as for the transportation and installation of steel silos in other factories.

[0039] The multi-story concrete structure factory building is a frame structure, including multiple floors. In this embodiment, it has three floors. The second floor is the steel silo installation floor 4. Several steel silo installation positions are arranged side by side along the length of the base plate on the installation floor 4. Several reserved through holes 8 are provided on the base plate of the third floor. The reserved through holes 8 are directly opposite the steel silo installation positions. The diameter of the reserved through holes 8 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the steel silo.

[0040] According to the needs of transportation and installation, the steel silo is divided into several cylindrical sections 7 along the height direction. The sections 7 are manufactured in the processing plant. The transportation and installation system of the steel silo in this multi-story factory building transports one section 7 to the installation position at a time, and the transported sections 7 are welded and assembled at the installation position.

[0041] The steel silo transportation and installation system in this multi-story factory building includes hoisting component 1, transport component 2, and assembly hoisting component 3. Hoisting component 1 is used to hoist the silo section 7 from the ground to the upper level 5 of the factory building installation level 4. Transport component 2 is located in the upper level 5 and is used to transport the silo section 7 to the vicinity of the reserved through hole 8. Assembly hoisting component 3 is used to lift the silo section 7 delivered by transport component 2, pass it through the reserved through hole 8, and place it above the position to be installed.

[0042] The hoisting component 1 may include hoisting machinery set on the ground, such as cranes, which hoist the compartment 7 from the ground to the compartment inlet 6.

[0043] On one end of the upper layer 5 of the installation layer 4 of the steel silo to be installed in the factory, there is a reserved silo section inlet 6. The silo section inlet 6 is used for each cylindrical silo section 7 of the steel silo to be hoisted by the hoisting machinery to enter the upper layer 5. The silo section inlet 6 can be a square wall hole, and the size of the hole is adapted to the size of the silo section 7 to facilitate the smooth entry of the silo section 7 into the upper layer 5.

[0044] To facilitate the entry of section 7 into upper layer 5 and the transportation of section 7 within upper layer 5, a section inlet 6 is provided at one end of upper layer 5. Section inlet 6 can be flush with the bottom plate of upper layer 5. The center plane of section inlet 6 and the center plane of each reserved through hole 8 are on the same vertical plane, which facilitates the straight transportation of section 7 to the reserved through hole 8 after entering section inlet 6, reducing the transportation distance.

[0045] The transport component 2 may include a transport vehicle 21 installed on the upper layer 5. The transport vehicle 21 is used to carry the silo section 7 to the reserved through hole 8 on the upper layer 5. The reserved through hole 8 is directly opposite the installation position of the steel silo. To facilitate the transport of the heavy silo section 7, the silo section 7 hoisted by the hoisting component 1 enters the silo section inlet 6 and is placed on the transport vehicle 21. The transport vehicle 21 then transports the silo section 7 to the vicinity of the reserved through hole 8, saving time and effort.

[0046] To facilitate loading of the storage section 7 onto the transport vehicle 21, an external cantilever platform 9 is provided on the outside of the storage section inlet 6. The external cantilever platform 9 is flush with the lower end of the storage section inlet 6. The transport vehicle 21 loads the storage section 7, which has been hoisted by the lifting machinery, onto the external cantilever platform 9. The transport vehicle 21 arrives at the external cantilever platform 9 to receive the storage section 7 brought by the hoisting component 1. The loading is convenient and safe. The transport vehicle 21 smoothly enters the upper layer 5 through the storage section inlet 6 and runs smoothly within the upper layer 5 until it reaches the vicinity of the reserved through hole 8.

[0047] For stable and labor-saving transport, the transport vehicle 21 can be a sliding trolley. An electric winch 22 is installed on the upper level 5, connected to the sliding trolley. The electric winch 22 pulls the transport vehicle 21 back and forth on the upper level 5. The electric winch 22 pulls the sliding trolley between the reserved through hole 8 and the cantilever platform 9, and the rotation of the electric winch 22 is controlled according to the transport needs.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the pulling of the trolley without obstructing the passage of the compartment 7 through the reserved through hole 8, the number of electric winches 22 can be two. The two electric winches 22 are respectively set on both sides of the other end of the upper layer 5. The two electric winches 22 are respectively connected to the trolley, and the steel ropes of the two electric winches 22 are respectively located on both sides of the reserved through hole 8.

[0049] Two electric winches 22 simultaneously pull the trolley, ensuring smooth operation. The area of ​​the trolley should be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the silo section. The two electric winches 22 should be positioned on either side of the other end of the upper layer 5, specifically behind the two pre-reserved through holes 8 furthest from the silo section inlet 6. The steel cables of the two electric winches 22 are positioned on either side of a row of pre-reserved through holes 8, with the distance between the steel cables greater than the diameter of the pre-reserved through holes 8. The steel cables of the two electric winches 22 should not only pull the trolley to each pre-reserved through hole 8 but also not obstruct the passage of the silo section 7 through the pre-reserved through holes 8.

[0050] The assembly hoisting component 3 is positioned above the reserved through hole 8. The assembly hoisting component 3 lifts the compartment section 7 and passes it through the reserved through hole 8 to the position to be installed. The assembly hoisting component 3 is then installed on the top plate of the upper layer 5 above the position to be installed, with the assembly hoisting component 3 facing the reserved through hole 8 and the position to be installed.

[0051] The assembly and hoisting component 3 may include at least two electric chain hoists, which are installed on the top plate of the upper layer 5 directly opposite the reserved through hole 8, and connected to the upper end of the bin section 7. The two electric chain hoists can hoist the bin section 7 smoothly and safely.

[0052] In this embodiment, the assembly and hoisting component 3 above the reserved through hole 8 is used to lower the silo section 7 through the space of the reserved through hole 8, thereby increasing the hoisting height of the silo section 7 and facilitating welding and assembly with the previously transported silo section 7.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for transporting and installing steel silos in a multi-story factory building according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention;

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for transporting and installing steel silos in multi-story factory buildings provided in this embodiment uses the steel silo transporting and installation system in multi-story factory buildings in Embodiment 1 to complete the transport and installation of steel silos.

[0056] The method for transporting and installing the steel silo within this multi-story factory building includes the following steps:

[0057] S1: Lifting component 1 lifts section 7 of the steel silo to section inlet 6.

[0058] The hoisting of component 1 can be carried out using hoisting machinery. The hoisting machinery will hoist the storage section 7 to the storage section inlet 6 of the upper floor 5 of the factory building, and the storage section will enter the upper floor 5 from the storage section inlet 6.

[0059] To facilitate access to the upper level 5, the hoisting machinery lifts the warehouse section 7 onto the cantilever platform 9 outside the warehouse section entrance 6, and loads it onto the transport vehicle 21 on the cantilever platform 9.

[0060] S2: Transport vehicle 21 transports section 7 to the reserved through hole 8 above the installation position.

[0061] The transport vehicle 21 uses an electric winch 22 to move the compartment 7 to the reserved through hole 8.

[0062] S3: Assemble the hoisting component 3 to lift the silo section 7. The silo section 7 is then hoisted through the reserved through hole 8 to the top of the location to be installed.

[0063] After the transport vehicle 21 delivers the storage segment 7 to the reserved through hole 8, the assembling and hoisting component 3 lifts the storage segment 7 away from the transport vehicle 21, and the transport vehicle 21 returns to the cantilever platform 9. The assembling and hoisting component 3 can be done using an electric chain hoist. The electric chain hoist lifts the storage segment 7 smoothly through the reserved through hole 8, and the storage segment 7 is positioned above the previously delivered storage segment.

[0064] S4: The lower end of section 7 is welded to the upper end of the previously delivered section.

[0065] The first delivered section 7 was placed on a concrete platform at the installation location. Subsequent deliveries of section 7 were then lifted and welded to the section below using the assembly and hoisting component 3. Only the joint between the upper and lower sections needed to be welded, resulting in minimal work and easy assembly.

[0066] S5: Until all sections 7 of the steel silo are welded together, the steel silo is hoisted using the assembly hoisting component 3 and adjusted to the final installation position.

[0067] After each section 7 is transported and welded together in sequence, the hoisting component 3 is assembled to lift the entire steel silo, precisely place it in the final installation position, and fix it in place by welding to complete the installation.

[0068] The steel silo transportation and installation system and method for multi-story factory buildings according to the present invention have been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications can be made to the steel silo transportation and installation system and method for multi-story factory buildings proposed in the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the contents of the appended claims.
