It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and similar expressions used in this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.

[0092] The “parallel” / “perpendicular” and similar expressions used in the present disclosure include an absolute parallel / perpendicular relationship and a substantially parallel / perpendicular relationship (for example, a relationship that differs from absolute parallel / perpendicular by a range of -5° to +5°), which can have equivalent effects.

[0093] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of the present disclosure and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0094] The present disclosure provides a container-type tank equipment assembly system and assembly method. Figures 1 to 10 Provide detailed explanation.

[0095] See also Figures 1 to 10According to the present embodiment, the container-type tank equipment assembly system may include a container 100, a tank device 120 and a handling device 130. The container 100 has a first length direction X1, a first width direction Y1 and a first height direction Z1. The dimension of the first length direction X1 of the container 100 is greater than the dimension of the first width direction Y1 of the container 100. The tank device 120 has a second length direction X2, a second width direction Y2 and a second height direction Z2. The dimension of the second length direction X2 of the tank device 120 is greater than the dimension of the second width direction Y2 of the tank device 120. When the container 100 and the tank device 120 are located on a bearing surface, the first height direction Z1 is parallel to the second height direction Z2. Among them, the bearing surface may be a surface such as the ground used to bear the container 100 and the tank device 120.

[0096] The container 100 is provided with an openable door 105 at both ends along the first length direction X1. The tank device 120 includes a tank body 121 and at least two saddles 122. The saddles 122 are arranged at intervals in the second length direction X2 of the tank body 121 and are connected to the lower part of the tank body 121. The handling device 130 includes an inflatable component 131, an inflatable and exhaust control component 132, at least two sets of inflatable support components 133 and an air pipe fitting 134. The inflatable component 131 is connected to the inflatable and exhaust control component 132 through the air pipe fitting 134. The inflatable and exhaust control component 132 is connected to the inflatable support component 133 through the air pipe fitting 134. The inflatable and exhaust control component 132 is configured to control the inflatable component 131 to inflate the inflatable support component 133 to switch the inflatable support component 133 to a use state, and to control the inflatable support component 133 to exhaust the inflatable support component 133 to switch the inflatable support component 133 to an avoidance state. Each set of inflatable support components 133 is detachably connected to each corresponding saddle 122. In the use state, the inflatable support components 133 protrude from the lower surface of the saddle 122, so that the tank device 120 is separated from the load-bearing surface. In the avoidance state, the inflatable support components 133 retract, so that the tank device 120 cannot be supported, and the tank device 120 is placed on the load-bearing surface so that the tank device 120 is supported by the load-bearing surface.

[0097] In the use state, there is a first friction force between the inflatable support assembly 133 and the bearing surface. When the inflatable support assembly 133 is in the avoidance state, there is a second friction force between the tank device 120 and the bearing surface. The second friction force is greater than the first friction force. For example, the second friction force is 2 to 10 times greater than the first friction force.

[0098] According to the containerized tank equipment assembly system of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by installing the inflatable support assembly 133 to the saddle 122 of the tank device 120 and switching the inflatable support assembly 133 to the use state, the friction between the tank device 120 and the bearing surface can be greatly reduced, which helps to transfer the tank device 120 to the interior of the container 100 by pushing and / or pulling with less equipment and / or manpower, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the assembly method and improving assembly flexibility.

[0099] See also Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 In order to facilitate the positioning and installation of the inflatable support assembly 133 on the saddle 122 , a positioning groove 122 a is provided at the lower portion of the saddle 122 according to this embodiment to accommodate the inflatable support assembly 133 .

[0100] Continue reading Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 Optionally, two positioning grooves 122a are provided at the lower part of the saddle 122. The opening of the positioning groove 122a faces downward. The two positioning grooves 122a are provided to both ends of the saddle 122 along the second width direction Y2 of the tank body 121. The second width direction Y2 is perpendicular to the second length direction X2. Each group of inflatable support components 133 includes two inflatable support components 133. The two inflatable support components 133 are respectively connected to the two positioning grooves 122a.

[0101] See also Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 For example, the saddle 122 may include a first transport connection hole 122b. The inflatable support assembly 133 includes a second transport connection hole (not shown). The second transport connection hole is adapted to be detachably connected to the first transport connection hole 122b by a fastener such as a bolt 104 or a latch.

[0102] Optionally, the second transport connection hole is adapted to be connected to the first transport connection hole 122b via a ball latch (not shown), so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the saddle 122 and the inflatable support assembly 133.

[0103] See also Figures 2 to 10For example, the bottom frame 101 of the container 100 may include a bottom plate 102, a stopper 103 and a bolt 104. The bottom plate 102 is provided with a first fastening connection hole 102a. The stopper 103 is connected to the lower part of the bottom plate 102. The stopper 103 includes a stopper 103a. The stopper 103a is aligned with the first fastening connection hole 102a in the height direction. And the stopper 103a is spaced apart from the bottom plate 102 in the height direction. The bolt 104 includes a bolt cover 104a and a bolt column 104b. The bolt column 104b has a threaded section and a non-threaded section. The threaded section is farther from the bolt cover 104a than the non-threaded section in the length direction of the bolt 104. The bolt column 104b of the bolt 104 can be movably penetrated in the first fastening connection hole 102a. That is, the bolt 104 is clearance-matched with the first fastening connection hole 102a. The bolt cover 104a of the bolt 104 is located between the limit portion 103a and the bottom plate 102. When the bolt 104 is not subjected to external force, the bolt cover 104a of the bolt 104 abuts against the limit portion 103a and is spaced apart from the bottom plate 102. At this time, part of the bolt column 104b protrudes from the upper surface of the bottom plate 102. The length of the bolt column 104b protruding from the upper surface of the bottom plate 102 is a. Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown. The range of a is 3mm to 7mm. Preferably, a is 5mm. After the bolt 104 is pulled upward, the bolt cover 104a is separated from the limiting portion 103a and approaches the bottom plate 102, and is finally limited by the bottom plate 102. The saddle 122 includes a second fastening connection hole 122c suitable for connecting the bolt 104. After the tank device 120 enters the container 100, the position of the tank device 120 is adjusted so that the bolt 104 is aligned with the second fastening connection hole 122c, and then the bolt 104 is pulled and inserted into the second fastening connection hole 122c, and then the nut 109, gasket and other parts are installed to achieve a fixed connection between the saddle 122 and the base frame 101.

[0104] According to the position where the tank device 120 is fixed in the container 100, a liftable bolt 104 is designed to fix the tank device 120 in the container, eliminating the cumbersome operation arrangement of raising the container 100, and the operator can tighten the bolt 104 from inside the container.

[0105] Optionally, the second fastening hole 122c is an oblong hole. The length direction of the oblong hole can be consistent with the first length direction X1 or the first width direction Y1 of the container 100. The oblong hole is designed to increase the fault tolerance and ensure that the first fastening hole 102a of the container 100 matches the position of the second fastening hole 122c of the saddle 122.

[0106] See also Figure 4 as well as Figures 8 to 10Optionally, the stopper 103 is configured as a U-shaped sheet metal. The opening of the groove of the U-shaped sheet metal is arranged upward. The two free ends of the U-shaped sheet metal are fixed to the bottom plate 102. The bottom of the groove of the U-shaped sheet metal constitutes the stopper 103a.

[0107] In some other examples, the shape of the limiting member 103 is not limited to the U-shape.

[0108] Optionally, the limiting member 103 may be configured as a lateral support beam of the base frame 101 .

[0109] For example, the inflatable support assembly 133 is an air hoverboard. The air hoverboard here can be an air hoverboard of the prior art. The air hoverboard can release high-pressure gas downward to generate thrust, so that the tank device 120 leaves the ground and forms a suspension effect. When the tank device 120 and the air hoverboard are connected and located in the container 100, the distance between the air hoverboard in use and the bottom plate 102 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the bolt 104 and the bottom plate 102. At this time, the distance between the air hoverboard and the bottom plate 102 is b, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown. b>a.

[0110] Optionally, the range of b is 5 mm to 30 mm.

[0111] Preferably, b ranges from 15 mm to 25 mm.

[0112] More preferably, b is 15 mm.

[0113] In some examples, when the air hoverboard is assembled and connected to the tank device 120, the distance between the air hoverboard located outside the container 100 and in use and the bearing surface is greater than the distance between the upper end of the bolt 104 and the bearing surface, and the distance between the air hoverboard located inside the container 100 and in use and the bottom plate 102 is greater than the distance between the upper end of the bolt 104 and the bottom plate 102 (see Figure 8 ). This can effectively reduce or avoid the interference between the tank device 120 and the container 100, so that the tank device 120 can be transferred into the container 100 more smoothly and easily.

[0114] Furthermore, the inflatable support components 133 installed on different saddles 122 are each connected to the inflation and exhaust control component 132 through the air pipe 134, so that the inflation and exhaust control component 132 can independently adjust the air pressure of each inflatable support component 133. This ensures that the tank device 120 as a whole maintains a horizontal posture or a nearly horizontal posture when entering the container 100.

[0115] For example, the inflatable support assembly 133 is an air cushion. When the tank device 120 and the air cushion are connected and located outside the container 100, the air cushion in use is separated from the load-bearing surface. In this way, the air cushion and the tank device 120 are suspended in the air, thereby greatly reducing the friction between the tank device 120 and the load-bearing surface, making it easier for operators to directly push the tank device 120 to perform the packing operation.

[0116] See also Figure 2 For example, an openable inspection door 108 is provided on the side of the container 100 along the first width direction Y1. The inspection door 108 is spaced apart from the box door 105 in the first length direction X1, for example, it is provided in the middle of the first length direction X1 of the container 100 or at a position close to the middle position. When the inspection door 108 is in the open state, it is convenient to implement the installation operation of the tank device 120 in the container 100, and it is also convenient to regularly inspect the tank device 120 and the matching electrical circuits and gas pipes 134.

[0117] Optionally, both sides of the container 100 are provided with inspection doors 108 .

[0118] The purpose of providing the inspection door 108 and the box doors 105 at both ends of the first length direction X1 of the container 100 is to provide the operator with an operating space and an access channel for removing the air cushion board and fixing the tank device 120 to the container 100 after the tank device 120 is placed in the container.

[0119] In some cases, containerized tank equipment is usually palletized in two layers.

[0120] See also Figure 2 In the example where the container-type tank equipment is located at the lower layer, at least one top opening 107a is provided at the top of the container 100 along the first height direction Z1. The top opening 107a is connected to the inside and outside of the container 100. The top opening 107a is spaced apart from the door 105 in the first length direction X1, for example, it is provided in the middle of the first length direction X1 of the container 100 or at a position close to the middle position. The top opening 107a is suitable for passing pipes and / or cables.

[0121] Optionally, two top openings 107a are provided on the top of the container 100. One of the two top openings 107a is used for passing pipes, and the other is used for passing cables. The shapes and sizes of the two top openings 107a may be the same or different.

[0122] In the example where the container-type tank equipment is located at the upper layer, the bottom frame 101 of the container 100 is provided with at least one bottom opening (not shown). The bottom opening is connected to the inside and outside of the container 100. The bottom opening is spaced apart from the door 105 in the first length direction X1, for example, it is arranged in the middle of the first length direction X1 of the container 100 or at a position close to the middle position. The bottom opening is suitable for passing pipes and / or cables.

[0123] Optionally, the bottom frame 101 of the container 100 is provided with two bottom openings. One of the two bottom openings is used for passing pipes, and the other is used for passing cables. The shapes and sizes of the two bottom openings can be the same or different.

[0124] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , illustratively, the container 100 may include a side wall 106 and a top wall 107. A buffer layer (not shown) is formed on a side of at least one of the side wall 106 and the top wall 107 facing the inside of the container. The buffer layer is suitable for buffering the impact force of the tank device 120. On this basis, the friction coefficient of the surface of the buffer layer facing the inside of the container is small, so as to reduce friction when contacting the tank device 120. The buffer layer can be made of polyurethane or a composite material containing polyurethane, for example.

[0125] Optionally, at least one of the side wall 106 and the top wall 107 includes a thermal insulation layer (not shown). The thermal insulation layer may be made of the same material as the buffer layer or made as one piece. The thermal insulation layer may also be stacked with the buffer layer. The structure and material of the thermal insulation layer may also be implemented with reference to the prior art.

[0126] The above-mentioned inflation component 131 can be understood as a compressed air generator, such as an air pump. The above-mentioned inflation and exhaust control component 132, for example, includes a controller, an electromagnetic valve, etc. The controller can be an industrial computer or a control unit carrying a PLC, a single-chip microcomputer, etc. The electromagnetic valve is connected to the air pipe fitting 134 to realize the switching of the opening and closing state of the air circuit. The electromagnetic valve is connected to the controller and is controlled by the controller. A quick-connect connector is provided at the end of the air pipe fitting 134 to realize a detachable connection with the inflation component 131, the inflation and exhaust control component 132 and another quick-connect connector of the inflation support component 133.

[0127] Exemplarily, the container 100 may be a 40-foot container 100. Accordingly, the length of the tank device 120 is 10 meters.

[0128] See also Figures 1 to 10 The container-type tank equipment assembly method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is used in the above-mentioned container-type tank equipment assembly system. The container-type tank equipment assembly method may include the following steps:

[0129] S1, the container 100 and the tank device 120 are arranged along the first length direction X1 of the container 100, so that the second length direction X2 of the tank device 120 is consistent with the first length direction X1, and the doors 105 at both ends of the container 100 are opened, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown;

[0130] S2, install an inflatable support assembly 133 on each saddle 122 of the tank device 120, arrange the inflatable assembly 131 and the inflatable and exhaust control assembly 132 on the outside of the first width direction Y1 of the container 100, and connect the inflatable and exhaust control assembly 132 to each inflatable support assembly 133 through the air pipe 134, such as Figure 1 As shown;

[0131] S3, operate the inflation and exhaust control component 132 to control the inflation component 131 to inflate each inflatable support component 133, so that the inflation of the inflatable support component 133 is switched to the use state;

[0132] S4, pushing the tank device 120 equipped with the inflatable support assembly 133 into the interior of the container 100 as a whole;

[0133] S5, after the tank device 120 is completely located inside the container 100, the position of the tank device 120 is adjusted so that the second fastening connection hole 122c of the saddle 122 is aligned with the first fastening connection hole 102a of the bottom frame 101 of the container 100, see Figure 8 ;

[0134] S6, operate the inflation and exhaust control component 132 to control the exhaust of each inflation support component 133, so that the inflation of the inflation support component 133 is switched to the avoidance state, so that the saddle 122 is placed on the bottom plate 102, see Fig. 9 ;

[0135] S7, remove each inflatable support assembly 133, and fasten the saddle 122 to the base frame 101, see Fig.10 .

[0136] According to the assembly method of containerized tank equipment in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the assembly method is applied to the above-mentioned containerized tank equipment assembly system, the tank device 120 can be transferred to the interior of the container 100 with less equipment and / or manpower, thereby reducing costs. At the same time, it is conducive to simplifying the assembly process and improving the flexibility of assembly.

[0137] See also Figure 1Optionally, in step S2, the method of connecting the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 to each inflation support assembly 133 through the air pipe member 134 includes: connecting the inflation support assembly 133 located at one end of the tank device 120 close to the container 100 to the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 through the air pipe member 134 passing through the container 100, and connecting the inflation support assembly 133 located at one end of the tank device 120 away from the container 100 to the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 through the air pipe member 134 provided outside the container 100. Such an arrangement of the air pipe member 134 is conducive to reducing the length of the air pipe member 134, thereby reducing the air pressure loss, and further ensuring the stability and utilization of the air pressure.

[0138] exist Figure 1 and Figure 5 In the example shown, the tank device 120 includes three saddles 122. Therefore, in step S2, connecting the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 to each inflation support assembly 133 through the air pipe 134 also includes:

[0139] Connecting the inflation support assembly 133 located in the middle of the tank device 120 to the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 through the air pipe 134 provided outside the container 100; or

[0140] The inflation support assembly 133 located in the middle of the tank device 120 is connected to the inflation and exhaust control assembly 132 via an air pipe member 134 passing through the container 100 .

[0141] That is, before the tank device 120 is loaded into the container 100, the air pipe member 134 used to connect with the middle inflation support assembly 133 and the inflation and exhaust assembly can pass through the container 100, or can be completely arranged outside.

[0142] See also Figures 5 to 8 For example, the saddle 122 may include a first transport connection hole 122b. The inflatable support assembly 133 may include a second transport connection hole. Step S2 includes:

[0143] The inflatable support assembly 133 is mounted to the saddle 122 by inserting a ball pin into the first transport connection hole 122 b and the second transport connection hole.

[0144] For example, the inflatable support assembly 133 is an air hoverboard.

[0145] Step S3 may also include: after the inflatable support assembly 133 is inflated and switched to the use state, the air cushion board is separated from the bearing surface used to bear the container 100, so that the tank device 120 with the inflatable support assembly 133 installed is suspended in the air. This can greatly reduce the friction between the tank device 120 and the bearing surface, making it easier to push the tank device 120 for transfer by manpower.

[0146] Optionally, step S3 may further include: after the inflatable support assembly 133 is inflated and switched to the use state, the air cushion board is higher than the bottom plate 102 of the container 100. In this way, the friction between the tank device 120, the air cushion board and the floor can be greatly reduced, making it easier to move the tank device 120 in the container 100 by manpower.

[0147] Optionally, the inflatable support assembly 133 is an air cushion board. The bottom frame 101 of the container 100 is provided with bolts 104 that can be pulled out.

[0148] Step S4 includes: after the air cushion board is moved into the container 100 along with the tank device 120, the air cushion board in use is higher than the bolt 104, such as Figure 8 This ensures that the tank device 120 will not interfere with the bolt 104 during the process of entering the container 100, and the operation is smoother and more labor-saving.

[0149] Optionally, in step S4, the operator manually pushes the tank device 120 equipped with the inflatable support assembly 133. This can greatly save the use of equipment such as lifting equipment and forklifts, and help reduce costs.

[0150] Optionally, the bottom frame 101 of the container 100 is provided with movably mounted bolts 104 . The bolts 104 partially protrude from the bottom plate 102 .

[0151] In step S7, the method of fastening the saddle 122 to the base frame 101 includes:

[0152] Pull out the bolt 104 and pass it through the second fastening hole 122c, and fasten it with the bolt 104 using the nut 109. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In this way, the operator only needs to operate inside the container to complete the fastening operation of the saddle 122 and the bottom frame 101 of the container 100, without the need to raise the container 100 using a lifting device or operate under the bottom of the container, which greatly saves equipment costs and improves the convenience of assembly operations.

[0153] Optionally, a pin hole 104c is formed in the bolt column 104b of the bolt 104 away from the bolt cover 104a. Figure 4 as well as Figures 8 to 10 In step S7, the method of fastening the saddle 122 to the base frame 101 may further include: after the bolt 104 and the nut 109 are fastened, a fixing pin (not shown) is inserted into the pin hole 104c. By assembling the fixing pin, the nut 109 can be effectively prevented from being disengaged due to loosening, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the saddle 122 and the container 100.

[0154] The present disclosure provides an assembly system and an assembly method for container-type tank equipment for quickly and lightly installing a tank device 120 in a container 100. The invention aims to solve the problem that the integrated construction of the tank in the container 100 is cumbersome and requires more equipment for coordination. By adopting the above-mentioned scheme provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rapid installation of the tank device 120 can be achieved more labor-savingly, and the demand for supporting equipment is less. The handling device 130 used in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be understood as an air cushion handling device 130. The working principle of the air cushion handling device 130 is based on the Bernoulli principle and air flotation technology in fluid mechanics, and compressed air is used to form a thin air cushion between the handling device 130 and the ground, thereby significantly reducing the friction encountered during the handling process. In this way, the operation of the transport tank device 120 is more labor-saving and flexible. Taking the assembly of a tank device 120 weighing 1.8 tons into a container 100 as an example, usually only 4 operators are required to complete the transport and installation operations. Compared with the prior art which requires a lifting device and two forklifts to lift the container from front to back, the use of equipment is greatly reduced, which is conducive to saving equipment and reducing costs. In short, this assembly method does not require the cooperation of multiple equipment such as lifting equipment and forklifts. Before construction, the positions of the container 100, the tank device 120, and the handling device 130 can be reasonably arranged. The construction process is simple and convenient, and the number of construction personnel required in the process is greatly reduced.

[0155] Furthermore, for tanks with longer spans (for example, a 12-meter-long tank installed in a 40-foot box), since a uniformly distributed air cushion board construction method is adopted, there is no need for additional fork-lifting reinforcement of the tank device 120, which also reduces the risk of breakage or damage of the tank device 120 during construction.
