[0033] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. The purpose of this illustration is solely to provide a better understanding of the invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for high-altitude demolition of a concrete chimney, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0035] S1, Anchor 5 installation: Personnel first install a suspended basket on the top of the concrete chimney 1, then hang a plumb line on the suspended basket to the outer wall of the chimney 1, and draw the pre-installation position of the anchor 5 from bottom to top. Then, fix several anchors 5 to the chimney 1 according to the preset position.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the anchor 5 includes a support rod 501, with a connecting plate 502 at each end of the support rod 501. The connecting plate 502 is perpendicular to the support rod 501. An expansion bolt 503 is provided perpendicularly to one connecting plate 502, and a U-shaped pipe clamp 504 is provided on the other connecting plate 502 for connecting the slide rail 4. In step S1, when drawing the pre-installation position of the anchor 5, it is necessary to draw the installation position of the expansion bolt 503 for each anchor 5. When installing the anchor 5, holes need to be drilled at the drawn installation positions of the expansion bolt 503, and then the expansion bolt 503 is installed through the drilled holes. The washer nut is then tightened to fix the anchor 5.
[0037] S2, Platform moving slide 4 construction: Several slides 4 are set around the chimney 1 in a circumferential direction, and their length is set along the height of the chimney 1. When installing the slides 4, they are set up layer by layer from bottom to top. First, pad blocks are placed on the ground, the first layer of slides 4 is placed on the pad blocks, and then pipe clamps are used to fix the slides 4 to the corresponding anchors 5. The second and above slides 4 are first connected and fixed to the lower slides 4, and then pipe clamps are used to tighten them to the corresponding anchors 5. On the outer wall of the chimney 1, ladders 12 are also installed from bottom to top. The ladders 12 are set along the height of the chimney 1 and are fixed to the outer wall of the chimney 1 by anchors 5 and pipe clamps.
[0038] The slide rail 4 is made of several interlocking steel pipe sections, each 2m long. One end of each steel pipe has a sleeve of the same size to facilitate the interlocking of the pipe sections. The steel pipes of slide rail 4 are connected and fixed to anchors 5 via U-shaped pipe clamps 504. Specifically, the sleeve is a short pipe with a diameter one size larger than the welded end of the steel pipe, used for the socket connection between the steel pipe sections.
[0039] S3, Triangular Support Installation 3: The triangular support 3 is installed on the uppermost slide rail 4, and the upper and lower ends are secured with pipe clamps; the triangular support includes an upright, a horizontal bar, and a diagonal bar, all of which are made of channel steel. The grooved surface of the channel steel of the upright is fastened to the steel pipe of the slide rail 4 so that the upright can move along the steel pipe of the slide rail 4 when the operating platform 2 is moved later; a pipe clamp is installed at each of the upper and lower ends of the upright, and the upright is fixed to the steel pipe of the slide rail 4 by the pipe clamp; the horizontal bar and the diagonal bar are welded to one side of the channel steel plane of the upright to ensure a firm weld.
[0040] S4, Installation of operating platform 2: Install operating platform 2 on the triangular support. The operating platform 2 is equipped with railing 6. The operating platform 2 is arranged in a ring shape and its size is adapted to the diameter of chimney 1. The railing 6 is made in a standard style and has a kick plate welded to the bottom.
[0041] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the operating platform 2 is composed of several platform units connected in a ring shape. Each platform unit includes a support frame and a platform plate 201 mounted on the support frame. The platform plate 201 has an arc-shaped structure, with one end being a large end 2011 and the other end being a small end 2012. The large end 2011 is provided with a slot for receiving the small end 2012. The platform plates 201 of adjacent platform units are connected by the small end 2012 and the large end 2011 with the slot. After being arranged in a ring, they are connected end to end to form a complete ring construction platform. The support frame is made of welded channel steel, and the platform plate 201 is made of checkered plate.
[0042] Both sides of the large end 2011 and the small end 2012 of the platform plate 201 are provided with several pin holes. In this embodiment, three pin holes are provided at intervals on each side of the large end 2011 and the small end 2012. After the small end 2012 of the platform plate 201 is inserted into the large end 2011 of the adjacent platform plate 201, the pin shaft 11 is then inserted into the pin holes of the two platform plates 201 to fix the two adjacent platform plates 201. By adjusting the length of the small end 2012 inserted into the slot of the large end 2011 between adjacent platform plates 201, the diameter of the inner ring of the annular construction platform after the annular arrangement can be adjusted, thus making it suitable for chimneys 1 of different diameters, improving applicability, and facilitating the reuse of the platform plate 201.
[0043] Every 1m along the outer ring side of each platform slab 201, a support rod is welded to support the railing 6.
[0044] S5, Wall Removal: Personnel stand on the operating platform 2 and then chisel a wall removal joint 9 every 3-5m along the circumference of the chimney 1. The wall removal joint 9 is set along the height of the chimney 1. Chisel from top to bottom until it stops 150-300mm away from the operating platform 2. Apply force into the interior of the chimney 1 to the concrete slab between the wall removal joints 9 and 9, remove the bottom of the concrete slab from the connection position with the lower chimney 1, so that the concrete slab falls into the interior of the chimney 1, until all the concrete slabs between the wall removal joints 9 and 9 on the upper side of the operating platform 2 are removed.
[0045] S6, Moving the operating platform 2: The electric hoist 7 is symmetrically suspended on the upper edge of the chimney 1 (that is, the connection position between the bottom of the concrete slab and the lower chimney 1 in step S5), and hooked onto the operating platform 2 using hooks and wire ropes 8. The operating platform 2 is then lifted by the electric hoist 7. Then, a suspended basket is suspended downwards from the operating platform 2, and personnel stand inside the basket. The triangular support is removed and lowered by 2 meters, and fixed on the next section of the slide rail 4. The triangular support moves down along the slide rail 4 as it moves downwards. Then, the platform is slowly lowered onto the triangular support by the electric hoist 7 to carry out the demolition work of the next section of the chimney 1 side wall. To facilitate the suspension of the basket, each platform plate 201 is provided with a flip-up manhole 10.
[0046] In this embodiment, when the operating platform 2 moves, four electric hoists are used to symmetrically suspend the four electric hoists on the upper edge of the chimney 1, so that the operating platform 2 is lifted.
[0047] S7: Repeat S5 and S6 until all parts of the chimney to be demolished are removed.
[0048] This invention innovatively introduces a circular aerial work platform, enabling circular wall-mounted demolition operations. Workers can carry out demolition work layer by layer from top to bottom on this platform, without being restricted by adjacent buildings, significantly reducing the need for ground space, and effectively avoiding the generation of flying rocks and large-scale dust. More importantly, it can ensure the structural integrity of the lower part of the chimney 1, enabling precise local demolition.
[0049] This invention focuses on the demolition of concrete chimneys 1, particularly for outdoor high-altitude operations. It clearly defines the top-to-bottom demolition sequence and is applicable to the specific working environment of demolishing high-altitude sections of chimneys 1. Furthermore, the application scope of this patent is broadly expanded, covering the comprehensive treatment of tall structures such as cooling towers and concrete chimneys, including but not limited to top-to-bottom demolition, rust removal, spraying, painting, and surface decoration. The unique feature of this method is that its working surface can be flexibly set not only on the outside of chimney 1 but also adjusted to the inside of chimney 1 according to actual needs, achieving efficient operation from all directions and multiple angles.
[0050] A method for dismantling a chimney 1 using a sliding rail platform involves workers dismantling the chimney 1 in sections on a circular operating platform 2, and using an electric hoist 7 to achieve rapid platform movement. This method effectively overcomes the difficulties and widespread impacts of chimney 1 dismantling, replaces blasting operations, reduces dust pollution, lowers construction costs, and aligns with the strategic requirements of green and sustainable development. Furthermore, this method allows for parallel construction with adjacent buildings, ensuring construction safety and progress.
