Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of cross-seasonal heat storage / heating design and construction, and particularly relates to a sandwich-column type load-bearing thermal insulation floating roof and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In China, carbon emissions in the building heating field account for 25% of the national total, among which coal heating in northern cities and towns accounts for more than 70%, with an annual carbon emission of 550 million tons. To achieve the "dual carbon" goal, it is urgent to replace traditional fossil fuels with renewable energy. The water-based solar cross-seasonal heat storage technology is listed as an optimal technology for building heating decarbonization by the International Energy Agency (IEA) due to its high heat storage density (≥50 kWh / m 3 ), long operation life (>30 years) and low-carbon characteristics. A large number of scientific studies and rich engineering practice experiences show that this technology has high reliability and has been widely applied at home and abroad, and multiple large-capacity heat storage water bodies have been put into actual operation. In China, multiple heat storage water bodies with different volumes have been built in Beijing, Hebei, Tibet and other places, providing effective solutions for local heating demands. However, the technical bottleneck of its core component - the thermal insulation top cover of the heat storage water body severely restricts large-scale application.
[0003] As the core subsystem of the water-based solar cross-seasonal heat storage and heating system, the heat storage water body has the highest cost proportion in the whole system. Generally, the heat storage water body is excavated from the ground to a specific shape, and after foundation treatment, an anti-seepage layer is laid, and then water is used as the heat storage working medium. Its volume range is wide, from several hundred cubic meters to several hundred thousand cubic meters. In the composition of the heat storage water body, the thermal insulation top cover plays a crucial role. It not only directly determines the heat storage efficiency of the heat storage water body and is a key component to ensure the efficient operation of the system, but also has the highest proportion in the cost of the heat storage water body, accounting for about 50% of the overall cost. In addition, large heat storage water bodies cover a large area, ranging from several thousand square meters to several hundred thousand square meters, which to a certain extent limits the application scenarios and scope of the water-based solar cross-seasonal heat storage and heating technology. Chinese Patent CN118653734A proposes an integrated load-bearing anti-seepage and thermal insulation floating roof system for a heat storage water tank, which is mainly applied to the heat storage water tank in a large-scale cross-seasonal heat storage system. Through the unique floating roof structure design, this system effectively solves the problems of difficult construction, inconvenient drainage and inability to bear weight of the traditional integrated floating roof, and at the same time has good thermal insulation performance. However, the performance of this system under extreme weather conditions (such as extremely cold, heavy rain, etc.) is not mentioned in the article, and the adaptability and optimization scheme of the system for heat storage water tanks of different scales and shapes are not elaborated in detail.
[0004] Therefore, designing a thermal insulation top cover with a reasonable structure, excellent thermal insulation performance, and load-bearing capacity has become the key to breaking through the current technical application bottleneck and further expanding the application of the water-body type solar seasonal heat storage and heating technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a sandwich-column type load-bearing thermal insulation floating roof and its manufacturing method, which is applied to the field of seasonal heat storage / heating design and construction. It is a floating roof with a simple structure, stable and reliable, convenient to maintain, relatively low cost, and capable of meeting the two functions of thermal insulation and load-bearing at the same time.
[0006] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A sandwich-column type load-bearing thermal insulation floating roof includes two types of unit modules, a total of three different structures. One type is the main unit module A; the other type is the edge unit modules: unit module M and unit module R. The three unit modules are arranged and assembled in a form where the edge unit modules surround the main unit module, and are fixed using the mortise and tenon joint form; a backing plate, a thermal insulation layer, and a backing plate are respectively arranged in the shell of each unit module from top to bottom.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of mortises in each unit module is different.
[0009] Furthermore, the corresponding unit modules are arranged and combined in a fixed order.
[0010] Furthermore, after determining the reference direction according to the on-site situation of the hot water storage body, the top cover module is assembled and fixed according to the arrow or character prompts on the unit module. The first row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module R(3) + unit module M(2) + unit module M(2) + unit module R(3)"; the second row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module M(2) + unit module A(1) + unit module A(1) + unit module M(2)"; the third row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module M(2) + unit module A(1) + unit module A(1) + unit module M(2)", and then the second row and the third row are repeated according to actual needs; the last row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module R(3) + unit module M(2) + unit module M(2) + unit module R(3)".
[0011] Furthermore, the tenons are connected one by one according to the mortises processed on the unit module.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific quantity needs to be determined according to the water surface opening size of the seasonal hot water storage body and in combination with the sizes of the three unit modules. In addition, corresponding unit modules should be prepared according to the actual situation for use in special cases.
[0013] Further, the specific number of tenons needs to be determined according to the number of unit modules used. In addition, corresponding tenons should be prepared according to the actual situation for use in special cases.
[0014] Further, after laying and assembling the unit modules, a floating roof is formed. A protective layer is laid on the floating roof and extends into the anchorage trench, and then backfilled with soil for anchorage.
[0015] Further, soil can be covered on the protective layer according to actual needs for comprehensive utilization of the cross-seasonal hot water storage floating roof.
[0016] The present invention also provides a manufacturing method for a sandwich column type load-bearing heat-insulating floating roof, including the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Process the backing plates, tenons, and heat-insulating layers adapted to the unit modules according to the design, and combine them into a whole in the order of backing plate, heat-insulating layer, and backing plate from top to bottom to form the inner structure of the unit module;
[0018] Step 2: Place the inner structure of the unit module in step 1 into the shell when processing the shell of the unit module through an automated production line, and completely wrap the unit module during the one-time forming process of the shell to form a whole;
[0019] Step 3: After determining the reference direction according to the on-site situation of the hot water storage body, assemble and fix according to the arrow or character prompts on the unit module: The first row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module R(3)+unit module M(2)+unit module M(2)+unit module R(3)"; the second row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module M(2)+unit module A(1)+unit module A(1)+unit module M(2)"; the third row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module M(2)+unit module A(1)+unit module A(1)+unit module M(2)", and then repeat the second row and the third row according to actual needs; the last row is arranged and fixed in the order of "unit module R(3)+unit module M(2)+unit module M(2)+unit module R(3)";
[0020] Step 4: Connect the tenons one by one according to the mortises processed on the unit module;
[0021] Step 5: After laying and assembling the unit modules, a floating roof is formed. A protective layer is laid on the floating roof and extends into the anchorage trench, and then backfilled with soil for anchorage;
[0022] Step 6: Cover the protective layer with soil according to actual needs for comprehensive utilization of the cross-seasonal hot water storage floating roof.
[0023] The advantages of the present invention are as follows:

The floating roof connects each unit module through a tenon (5) to form a closed thermal insulation and load-bearing system. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0043] 1. Prefabrication and processing of unit modules
[0044] According to the opening size of the hot water storage body and the design requirements, determine the quantities of the unit modules A (1), M (2), and R (3). The inner structure of each unit module is composed of a backing plate (7), a sandwich column type thermal insulation layer (8), and a backing plate (7) from top to bottom ( Figures 2 - 5 ). The thermal insulation layer is made of high-density polystyrene foam (HDPE) with a thermal conductivity of 0.028 W / m·K, and the thickness is selected according to the design requirements (50 - 100 mm). The shell (6) is formed in one step by an automated production line using a rigid thermal insulation material, wraps the inner structure, and processes mortises (9) at preset positions ( Figure 2 ).
[0045] 2. On-site assembly and arrangement

[0047] The first row: fix in the order of "unit module R (3) + unit module M (2) + unit module M (2) + unit module R (3)"; the second row and the third row: repeat the arrangement in the order of "unit module M (2) + unit module A (1) + unit module A (1) + unit module M (2)"; the last row: symmetric to the first row, fix according to "unit module R (3) + unit module M (2) + unit module M (2) + unit module R (3)".
[0048] 3. Overall reinforcement and protection of the floating roof
[0049] After assembly, a protective layer (10) is laid on the floating roof surface. A heat-resistant protective film is used and covered to the edge of the anchorage trench (11). The anchorage trench (11) is filled with soil and compacted to fix the floating roof to the edge of the heat storage water body. Soil (thickness ≥ 200 mm) can be covered on the protective layer (10) according to actual needs for vegetation planting or comprehensive site utilization to further improve the heat insulation effect.
