Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device in the technical field of pressure vessel structure manufacturing, in particular to a low-stress transfer and groove protection device and method for a cylindrical structure without excess. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of pressure vessel structures, it is often necessary to transfer cylindrical structures of various sizes. Since the diameter of the cylindrical structure is large, up to nearly 10 meters, the rigidity of the cylindrical structure itself is relatively weak. The precision requirements of the cylindrical structure itself are high, and the diameter deviation requirements have reached the millimeter level. If effective transfer conformal measures are not taken, there will be a great risk of deformation during transfer when multiple process stations such as machining are transferred after manufacturing.

[0003] There are usually two methods for traditional transportation. One is to weld a lifting lug on the circumferential seam of the upper end of the cylindrical structure with margin, and the other is to clamp the shell plate or rib of the cylindrical structure with a clamp. Both methods directly apply force to a certain point on the cylindrical structure, which will cause the stress of a certain part of the cylindrical structure to increase, and in severe cases, deformation during transportation may occur. At the same time, since most of the cylindrical structures today are built without margin, the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical structure have grooves. In order not to damage the grooves, the upper end cannot be welded with a lifting lug. Therefore, how to reduce the stress on the cylindrical structure during transportation, eliminate the transportation deformation of the cylindrical structure, and realize the conformal transportation of multi-specification cylindrical structures without margin, thereby improving the manufacturing accuracy and quality of the pressure vessel structure, has become an urgent problem to be solved.

The device positions the cylindrical structure in the groove of the support ring through the cooperation of its various components, so that the cylindrical structure and the device are linked, and then the cylindrical structure is linked and transported by lifting the lifting lug of the device, solving the technical problem that the cylindrical structure without margin cannot be transported in a shape-preserving manner.

[0005] The solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is: A low-stress transfer and slope protection device for a cylindrical structure without excess, comprising a support ring, which is arranged on a horizontal plane, with a sealed bottom and a groove on the top, for installing and supporting the cylindrical structure; a plug block, which is assembled in the groove of the support ring and is arranged in pairs on the inner and outer sides of the four centers of the cylindrical structure; a lower cross support, which is fixed inside the support ring and whose connection points with the support ring are located at the four centers of the cylindrical structure; a column, which is fixed at the upper end of the lower cross support and has a through hole inside; an upper cross support, which is fixed at the upper end of the column and corresponds to the lower cross support; a push rod, which is assembled in the through hole of the column and can extend to the four centers of the cylindrical structure to tighten the cylindrical structure; a lifting ear, which is fixed at the upper end of the upper cross support, for lifting the cylindrical structure.

[0006] According to the embodiment disclosed herein, a groove protection material is provided in the groove of the support ring.

[0007] In the embodiment disclosed, the height of the column is slightly higher than the cylindrical structure, which is convenient for workers to perform construction work.

[0008] In the embodiment disclosed, the outer rod of the push rod is provided with an internal thread, and the inner rod is provided with an external thread, so that the push rod has a spiral telescopic function, and can achieve rapid tightening of the four centers of the cylindrical structure.

[0009] In order to further solve the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, the present invention provides a method for using a low-stress transfer and groove protection device with a non-residual cylindrical structure, comprising the following steps: Step 1. According to the diameter and height of the cylindrical structure, a transfer device adapted thereto is selected; Step 2. Check whether the groove protection material in the support ring groove is evenly arranged and whether there is an unprotected area. If so, fill the corresponding groove protection material in time; Step 3. Contract the push rod spirally and drop the cylindrical structure into the groove of the support ring; Step 4. Assemble the plugs in the gap between the cylindrical structure and the support ring, and arrange them in pairs on the inner and outer sides of the four centers of the cylindrical structure; Step 5. Extend the push rod spirally until it contacts and tightens against the inner wall of the cylindrical structure; Step 6. Test lift the lifting lugs, if there are no problems, proceed with the lifting process as normal.

[0010] Positive effects: The present invention assembles a plug in the groove on the support ring, arranges a lower cross support inside the support ring, arranges a column at the upper end of the lower cross support, arranges an upper cross support at the upper end of the column, assembles a push rod in the through hole of the column, and arranges a lifting lug at the upper end of the upper cross support.
