Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a storage tank ceiling radial beam connecting device. Background Art

[0002] In the LNG receiving station, 220,000 m 3 LNG storage tanks need to be equipped with aluminum ceilings, which are suspended directly above the inner tank to support the insulation material on the top of the inner tank to reduce the heat transfer of the LNG in the inner tank and reduce the evaporation rate of LNG. The main function of the ceiling is to support the cold insulation material and prevent it from falling into the liquefied natural gas stored in the inner tank. At the same time, the ceiling should be able to withstand the weight of the ceiling itself, the cold insulation material, the connecting sleeve, the pressure balance port, and the construction load generated during the construction process to ensure the personal safety of the construction workers.

[0003] At present, the domestic 3 The ceiling form used in LNG storage tanks is to lay corrugated plates on radial and circumferential beams. The force of the entire ceiling is borne by the radial and circumferential beams. The arrangement of radial and circumferential beams is shown in Figure 1 ;Currently, the radial and circumferential beams of the suspended ceiling are connected by welding Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0004] In the LNG receiving station, 220,000 m 3 LNG storage tanks, usually a large LNG storage tank is composed of 6 ring beams and 40 radial beams. There are 240 connection points of the radial ring beams, and the welding workload is extremely large. In addition, the assembly and welding are carried out in the sealed space of the tank top plate. Large hoisting equipment is required for construction, which makes the construction difficult. The radial ring beam welding adopts a tailored welding structure, which is prone to welding deformation, making the entire support beam plane uneven. The closed welding working environment is very harsh and unfavorable, especially when aluminum is used for welding (the radial ring beam is aluminum alloy 6061-T2), which is easy to produce gases that are harmful to the human body. In addition, the construction period is long and the cost is high.

The radial beam and the annular beam can be made of aluminum alloy, such as aluminum alloy 6061-T2.

[0033] The diameter of the outermost circle of annular beams is equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tank. The spacing between adjacent annular beams is generally 1 / 4 to 1 / 8 of the inner radius of the tank, preferably about 1 / 5 to 1 / 6.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] A storage tank ceiling radial annular beam connection device comprises 5 annular beams 2 distributed sequentially from a central part to the periphery and 16 radial beams 1 distributed radially, the spacing between adjacent annular beams 2 is substantially equal, 8 evenly spaced radial beams 1 extend from the entire periphery of the innermost annular beam to the inner side of the outermost annular beam 2, 8 radial beams extend from the second to last annular beam inside, and the 8 radial beams extending from the second to last annular beam inside are respectively located between two adjacent radial beams extending from the innermost annular beam.

The radial beam 1 and the annular beam 2 are in the same horizontal plane, and the radial beam is disconnected at the annular beam (that is, the radial beam is discontinuous at the annular beam).

[0038] like Figure 7The radial beam end is cut in this way, and the upper and lower wing plates of the end section of the radial beam are cut off, and the notched part is adapted to the recess of the I-shaped annular beam (the recess formed between the upper and lower wing plates on one side and the middle web plate), so that it can be inserted into the annular beam and approach or abut against the web plate 101 of the I-shaped annular beam. Figure 8 The stainless steel L-shaped connecting plate shown has 3 φ18mm bolt holes on each plate. Insert the radial beam into the annular beam, install the stainless steel L-shaped connecting plate, and open 2 (connection points with the innermost and outermost annular beams) or 4 (connection points with the middle annular beam) φ18mm bolt holes on the radial beam at each connection point at the bolt hole positions corresponding to the connecting plate, and open 2 φ18mm bolt holes on the annular beam at each connection point. Connect the L-shaped connecting plate with bolts and nuts at each connection point.

[0039] The new radial and circumferential beam connection device overcomes the shortcomings of traditional welding connections, realizes no welding on site, does not produce gases harmful to the human body and the environment, and has a firm structure that meets strength requirements. Pre-assembly on the ground outside the tank before installation ensures the flatness of the entire beam surface, and at the same time, the construction is easy and the construction period is saved.

[0040] Experimental example

[0041] In LNG receiving stations, 2.2×10 5 m 3 LNG storage tanks are composed of 6 ring beams and 40 radial beams. There are 240 connection points of the radial ring beams, which requires a lot of welding work. In addition, both assembly and welding are carried out in the sealed space of the tank top plate, which makes construction difficult. In addition, the welding process is prone to produce harmful gases to the human body and welding deformation, making the entire support beam plane uneven. In order to avoid these conditions, the welding method of the radial ring beam connection point is changed to the bolt and L-shaped stainless steel plate connection method, and a force analysis and verification are carried out.

[0042] In this experimental example, the total mass of the ceiling is 1×10 5 kg, the diameter of the ring beam has 240 connection points, and the average mass distributed to each connection point is about 416.67kg. Considering the uneven force on the node, the safety factor r is selected as 1.5, and the mass borne by each connection point is calculated as 416.67*1.5≈625kg. The bolt is made of 304 stainless steel, with a diameter of d=16mm, l b =16mm is the projection length of the bolt diameter on the radial beam web, l c=16mm is the projected length of the bolt diameter on the L-shaped stainless steel plate, and the allowable tensile stress value [σ] is 155.13MPa (selected from Table Q-3 according to the standard API Std 620-2002 Design and Construction of Large Welded Low-Pressure Storage Tanks). According to material mechanics, the allowable shear stress [τ] of the bolt is related to the tensile stress [σ] of the material, and the relationship between the two is [τ] = (0.75 ~ 0.8) * [σ]. According to the formula, the allowable extrusion stress [σ] of the bolt is jya ] is obtained by dividing the yield point by 1.1, and the result is [σ jya ]=186.36MPa. In this project, for the bolts made of 304 stainless steel, the allowable shear stress [τ]=116.35MPa and the allowable extrusion stress [σ jya ]=186.36MPa. For 6061-T2 aluminum alloy beam, the allowable extrusion stress [σ jyb ]=55.16MPa. The thickness of the radial beam web is t b The thickness of L-shaped stainless steel is 8mm. c is 5mm.

[0043] The ring beam is suspended on the tank top by the hanger 6. Take a section of the ring beam for analysis: First, the hanger is regarded as a rigid body and will not deform. The hanger is installed at both ends of the ring beam. Under the action of gravity, the ring beam suspended by the hanger will deform slightly, and the deformation is the largest in the middle of the ring beam. Fig. 9 shown.

[0044] The connection point between the annular beam and the radial beam uses an L-shaped stainless steel plate and bolt fastening method to replace the original welding method. The specific implementation method is: insert the radial beam after cutting and punching into the annular beam, and use the L-shaped stainless steel plate (stainless steel connecting plate, thickness 5mm) as a connecting and reinforcing plate to fasten it to the radial beam by bolts. The number of bolts for the radial beam is 2, and the number of bolts for the annular beam is 1. Before performing a force analysis on the connection point, the bolts on the connection point are classified and named, such as Fig.10 As shown in (c), it is known that the annular beam is continuous and the radial beam is disconnected. The annular beam will deform slightly under the action of the hanger. Therefore, the force borne by the connection point mainly comes from the annular beam, which is represented by P, as shown in Fig.10 (a) As shown. The force P on the annular beam will eventually be transmitted to the six bolts 7 used for connection and fastening through the stainless steel plate and radial beam. Now the force analysis of the integral bolts is carried out. Since the radial beam is disconnected, when the connection point is stressed, Fig.10 The state of (a) changes to Fig.10 (b) Status. Fig.10As can be seen from (b), the radial beams on both sides of the annular beam will undergo slight deformation and torsion. At this time, the B1 and B2 bolts bear the fulcrum role when the radial beam torsions, the C1 and C2 bolts bear the pressure P brought by the annular beam, and the A1 and A2 bolts bear the reaction force of the pressure P. Fig.10 As shown in (d), it is known that the distance l1 from bolt A1 to bolt B1 is 45mm, and the distance l2 from bolt C1 to bolt B1 is 69mm. According to the moment balance formula, It can be found that the A1 and A2 bolts are subject to the greatest force. Since the specifications of the six bolts are the same, the single bolt with the greatest force is selected for force analysis.

[0045] Select A1 bolt for force analysis, the results are as follows Fig.11 As shown. It is known that each connection point needs to bear a mass of 625kg, and the pressure of the annular beam on the radial beam is P = mg = 625 * 9.8 = 6125N. According to the moment balance formula, it can be obtained Corresponding shear force on the bolt

[0046] (1) Calculation of bolt shear strength

[0047] It is known that the allowable shear stress of the bolt [τ] = 116.35MPa, the shear force on the bolt Q = 2347.92N, and the shear surface area of ​​the bolt

[0048] Shear stress on the bolt Substitute it into the equation and we get τ = 11.68 MPa. The shear strength is checked for safety.

[0049] (2) Calculation of bolt extrusion strength

[0050] The allowable extrusion stress of the known bolt [σ jya ]=186.36MPa, the extrusion force F on the bolt A1 =4695.83N, the effective extrusion area of ​​the bolt is A jya =t b *d = 8 * 16 = 1.28 × 10 -4 m 2 The extrusion stress on the bolt Substitute into to obtain σ jya =36.69MPa. The bolt extrusion strength meets the requirements.

[0051] It is known that the radial beam is made of 6061-T2 aluminum alloy, and its allowable extrusion stress [σ jyb ]=55.16MPa, the effective extrusion area of ​​the radial beam web is A jyb =t b*l b =8*16=1.28×10 -4 m 2 The compressive stress on the radial beam web That is, σ jyb =36.69MPa. The radial beam web extrusion strength meets the requirements.

[0052] The L-shaped stainless steel plate is made of the same material as the bolt, and its effective extrusion area is A. jyc =2*t c *l c =2*5*16=1.6×10 -4 m 2 . Extrusion stress of L-shaped stainless steel plate Substitute into the solution to obtain σ jyc =29.34MPa. The extrusion strength of L-shaped stainless steel plate meets the requirements.

[0053] The calculation results show that the bolt and L-shaped stainless steel plate fastening method of the patent is safe and reliable at the connection point between the annular beam and the radial beam. Compared with welding, the method of fastening with bolts and L-shaped stainless steel plates can effectively reduce the construction difficulty and improve the construction efficiency. In addition, the strong light and fume pollution caused by welding will not be generated during the installation process, which is beneficial to the personal safety of construction workers.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the protection scope of the invention.
