Columnar columns are used for equipment with small interface areas and light weight; profile bases can generally be installed on equipment with large interface areas and concentrated load-bearing; truss bases are generally used to install equipment with large operating areas and dispersed load-bearing; the first two are welded into an integrated base, and then welded to the deck; the truss base is formed into a frame structure by screwing or welding, and then welded to the deck to achieve positioning and fixation. However, the columnar base is not suitable for the installation of large and heavy-loaded equipment; the interface area of ​​the profile base has certain limitations, such as equipment of 2m or more is not suitable for this type of base; the traditional truss base meets the stress dispersion of heavy-loaded equipment by changing the special layout of the supporting single beam, but due to the influence of structural complexity and the requirements of overall weight, the height of its base is limited.
