Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of support devices, and particularly to a saddle support with an adjustable arc radius and an adjustment method. Background Art

[0002] A saddle support is a commonly used support in chemical equipment, and usually two or more are combined to support a horizontal container. The saddle support is designed according to industry standards and is mainly made by welding an arc-shaped backing plate, a web plate, a rib plate and a bottom plate; for a horizontal container, the saddle support is usually used to support and fix the bottom of the container to ensure the stability and safety of the container during transportation, storage and use, and to prevent the container from tilting or sliding; at the same time, the saddle support also has the advantages of long service life, simple structure and low cost, and can effectively disperse the weight and load of the container.

[0003] However, when using a saddle support to support and fix a horizontal container, the radius of the arc-shaped backing plate of the support cannot be adjusted. Usually, a saddle support with a suitable size needs to be selected according to parameters such as the size of the horizontal container, which causes inconvenience to the transportation and storage of the container, and the reuse rate of the saddle support is low; some technicians have invented a rolling component, which is fixed on both sides of the saddle support body to achieve quick fine adjustment of the equipment, but there is no reliable and convenient method for fixing and supporting horizontal containers with different radii at present. Therefore, a saddle support with an adjustable radius needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

The present invention installs a jacking unit between a first connecting member and a second connecting member, and adjusts the distance between the first connecting member and the second connecting member through the jacking unit, that is, adjusts the radius of the saddle support, so that the saddle support adapts to horizontal containers with different radii and shapes, and solves the problems of low reuse rate of the saddle support and inability to support multiple horizontal containers.

[0039] The present invention provides a saddle support with adjustable arc surface radius and an adjustment method. The device and method can respectively adjust the radius of the saddle support to make the saddle support closely fit the outer wall of the horizontal container. In the saddle support adjustment method of the present invention, first, the position of the support mechanism is fixed, and then the height of the abutting mechanism is adjusted by the jacking mechanism. The horizontal container is preliminarily fixed on the abutting mechanism. By adjusting a plurality of abutting mechanisms, the fitting with the horizontal container is completed, and finally, the arc formed by the plurality of abutting mechanisms matches the outer circumference of the horizontal container. In this method, the height of the abutting mechanism is adjusted by driving the adjusting screw to rotate through a joystick, solving the problem that the saddle support in the existing method cannot adapt to various horizontal containers.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the saddle support with adjustable arc surface radius disclosed by the present invention includes a support mechanism, a jacking mechanism, and an abutting mechanism. The top of the support mechanism is arc - shaped. The number of jacking mechanisms is multiple, and the multiple jacking mechanisms are arranged at intervals and symmetrically along the arc direction of the support mechanism. At the end of each jacking mechanism away from the support mechanism, an abutting mechanism is installed to facilitate the jacking mechanism to adjust the distance between the support mechanism and the abutting mechanism. The bottom of the support mechanism is horizontal for stable support. The jacking mechanism includes a first connecting member 1, a second connecting member 2, and a jacking unit 3. The first connecting member 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the abutting mechanism. The second connecting member 2 is installed on the top of the support mechanism. The first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 face each other. The jacking unit 3 is installed between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2. The jacking unit 3 includes a driving part 4, a first jacking part 5, and a second jacking part 6. The driving part 4 is horizontally arranged. The top of the first jacking part 5 is hinged to the first connecting member 1. The bottom of the second jacking part 6 is hinged to the second connecting member 2. The free ends of the first jacking part 5 and the second jacking part 6 are rotationally connected through a connecting member 7. The driving part 4 passes through the connecting member 7 and drives the connecting member 7 to move along the driving part 4. The abutting mechanism is an arc - shaped structure.

[0041] The bottom of the support mechanism is horizontal, and the top is an arc-shaped structure to facilitate matching the outer peripheral shape of the horizontal container. The bottom of the support mechanism is fastened to the target position by bolts, and multiple second connecting members 2 are arranged at intervals on the top of the support mechanism along the arc direction of the support mechanism, and multiple second connecting members 2 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the support mechanism. The second connecting member 2 is hinged to the jacking unit 3, and the end of the jacking unit 3 away from the second connecting member 2 is hinged to the first connecting member 1. The top of the first connecting member 1 is fastened to the abutment mechanism, and multiple abutment mechanisms form a first semicircle. When the jacking unit 3 pushes the abutment mechanism away from or close to the support mechanism, the radius of the first semicircle decreases or increases, which is convenient for abutting horizontal containers with different radii, thereby improving the applicability of the saddle support. The specific adjustment steps for the first semicircle are: after fixing the supporting mechanism, tighten the first lifting part 5 and the second lifting part 6 by rotating the driving part 4 to complete the radius adjustment of the first semicircle, adjust all the lifting units to the estimated radius range of the container, and then place the horizontal container with a certain radius on the middle abutment mechanism of the support, and then adjust the remaining abutment mechanisms until all the abutment mechanisms are in contact with the surface of the horizontal container, and the adjustment is completed.

[0042] The first lifting part 5 includes a first lifting rod 8 and a second lifting rod 9, which form an eight-shaped structure, and the adjacent ends of the first lifting rod 8 and the second lifting rod 9 are hinged to the first connecting member 1 through a pin; the second lifting part 6 includes a third lifting rod 10 and a fourth lifting rod 11, and the third lifting rod 10 and the fourth lifting rod 11 form a trumpet-shaped structure, and the adjacent ends of the third lifting rod 10 and the fourth lifting rod 11 are hinged to the second connecting member 2, the free end of the third lifting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the free end of the first lifting rod 8 through the connecting member 7, and the free end of the fourth lifting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the free end of the second lifting rod 9 through the connecting member 7.

[0043] The first connecting member 1 includes a first connecting plate 20, a second connecting plate 21 and a first pin shaft 22. The first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 21 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the abutment mechanism. The first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 21 are fastened to the abutment mechanism at the top along the width direction. The first connecting plate 20 and the second connecting plate 21 are both horizontal along the length direction and are provided with two pin shaft holes at intervals to facilitate the first pin shaft 22 to pass through the opposite pin shaft holes.

[0044] The second connecting member 2 includes a load-balancing plate 23, a third connecting plate 24, a fourth connecting plate 25 and a second pin shaft 26. The load-balancing plate 23 is connected to the top of the supporting mechanism. The third connecting plate 24 and the fourth connecting plate 25 are spaced apart along the width direction of the load-balancing plate 23. The third connecting plate 24 and the fourth connecting plate 25 are both horizontal along the length direction and are spaced apart from each other with two pin shaft holes to facilitate the second pin shaft 26 to pass through the opposing pin shaft holes.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first lifting rod 8, the second lifting rod 9, the third lifting rod 10, and the fourth lifting rod 11 have the same structure. The first lifting rod 8 is a square steel pipe. Connection parts are arranged at both ends of the first lifting rod 8 along its length direction. The connection parts are of U-shaped structure. The widths of the first lifting rod 8 and the second lifting rod 9 are both consistent with the inner wall spacing of the first connecting piece 1. The first lifting rod 8 and the second lifting rod 9 are respectively hinged to two pin shafts holes of the first connecting piece 1 along the length direction. The widths of the third lifting rod 10 and the fourth lifting rod 11 are both consistent with the inner wall spacing of the second connecting piece 2. The number of the first pin shafts 22 is two. The first first pin shaft 22 passes through the pin shaft hole of the first connecting plate 20, the connection part of the first lifting rod 8, and the pin shaft hole of the second connecting plate 21, so that the first lifting rod 8 is hinged to the first connecting piece 1. The second first pin shaft 22 passes through the pin shaft hole of the first connecting plate 20, the connection part of the second lifting rod 9, and the pin shaft hole of the second connecting plate 21, so that the second lifting rod 9 is hinged to the first connecting piece 1, facilitating the first lifting rod 8 and the second lifting rod 9 to rotate around the first pin shaft 22 respectively. The third lifting rod 10 and the fourth lifting rod 11 are respectively hinged to two pin shafts holes of the second connecting piece 2 along the length direction. The number of the second pin shafts 26 is two. The first second pin shaft 26 passes through the pin shaft hole of the third connecting plate 24, the connection part of the third lifting rod 10, and the pin shaft hole of the fourth connecting plate 25, so that the third lifting rod 10 is hinged to the second connecting piece 2. The second second pin shaft 26 passes through the pin shaft hole of the third connecting plate 24, the connection part of the fourth lifting rod 11, and the pin shaft hole of the fourth connecting plate 25, so that the fourth lifting rod 11 is hinged to the second connecting piece 2, improving the flexibility of the movement of the lifting rods.

[0046] The uniform load bearing plate 23 is in close contact with the top of the support mechanism, enhancing the upward supporting effect of the second connecting piece 2.

[0047] The driving part 4 includes a rocker 12 and an adjusting screw 13. A rocker connection hole 14 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 13 along its length direction. The rocker 12 is of L-shaped structure. The transverse end of the rocker 12 passes through the rocker connection hole 14 and is connected to the adjusting screw 13. The end of the adjusting screw 13 away from the rocker connection hole 14 passes through the connecting piece 7 and is connected to a screw nut 15.

[0048] In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 13 passes through the connecting members 7 connecting the first jacking rod 8 and the third jacking rod 10, and the connecting members 7 connecting the second jacking rod 9 and the fourth jacking rod 11 respectively. The screw nut 15 is screwed into the end of the adjusting screw 13 to limit the moving distance of the connecting member 7. When the rocker 12 is rotated clockwise, the rocker 12 drives the adjusting screw 13 to rotate clockwise synchronously. The two connecting members 7 approach each other along the adjusting screw 13, pushing the first connecting member 1 to move away from the second connecting member 2, that is, the abutting mechanism moves away from the supporting mechanism, and the radius of the first semi-circle increases; when the rocker 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the rocker 12 drives the adjusting screw 13 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. The two connecting members 7 move away from each other along the adjusting screw 13, driving the first connecting member 1 to move closer to the second connecting member 2, that is, the abutting mechanism moves closer to the supporting mechanism, and the radius of the first semi-circle decreases. By rotating the rocker 12 clockwise or counterclockwise, the adjustment of the radius of the first semi-circle is realized, enabling the saddle support to adapt to horizontal vessels with multiple radii. At the same time, the flexible connection of each component of the saddle support reduces the maintenance cost of the saddle support.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, motors are installed at the ends of each adjusting screw 13 away from the screw nut 15. The multiple motors are all connected to the controller. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motors through the controller, the abutting mechanism is moved away from or closer to the supporting mechanism, and the radius of the first semi-circle is adjusted. By controlling the motors through the controller, the accuracy and efficiency of the position adjustment of the abutting mechanism are improved.

[0050] In another possible embodiment, the connecting member 7 is a hollow square block. A threaded hole is provided in the middle of the connecting member 7. Jacking rod connecting parts are arranged at both ends of the connecting member 7 along the length direction through pin shafts. The number of connecting members 7 is two. The two connecting members 7 are respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the adjusting screw 13. A screw nut 15 is connected to the end of the adjusting screw 13 away from the rocker 12 to prevent the connecting member 7 from slipping off. The ends of the first jacking rod 8 and the second jacking rod 9 away from the first connecting member 1 are respectively hinged to the jacking rod connecting parts at the tops of the two connecting members 7. The ends of the third jacking rod 10 and the fourth jacking rod 11 away from the second connecting member 2 are respectively hinged to the jacking rod connecting parts at the bottoms of the two connecting members 7. When the rocker 12 rotates clockwise, the adjusting screw 13 rotates clockwise synchronously. The two connecting members 7 approach each other, driving the first jacking rod 8 and the second jacking rod 9, and the third jacking rod 10 and the fourth jacking rod 11 to approach each other, and then pushing the abutting mechanism to move away from the supporting mechanism. If the rocker 12 rotates counterclockwise, the adjusting screw 13 rotates counterclockwise synchronously. The two connecting members 7 move away from each other, driving the first jacking rod 8 and the second jacking rod 9, and the third jacking rod 10 and the fourth jacking rod 11 to move away from each other, and then driving the abutting mechanism to move closer to the supporting mechanism, achieving the purpose of adjusting the radius of the first semi-circle. Further, the rocker 12 can be replaced with a driving motor, reducing the labor intensity of the staff and improving the adjustment accuracy at the same time.

[0051] The supporting mechanism includes an arc-shaped backing plate 16, a bottom plate 17, rib plates 18 and a web plate 19. The bottom plate 17 is horizontally placed on the lower side of the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The number of rib plates 18 is multiple, and the multiple rib plates 18 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom plate 17. The two end parts of each rib plate 18 along the length direction are respectively fixedly connected to the arc-shaped backing plate 16 and the bottom plate 17. The web plate 19 is installed between the arc-shaped backing plate 16 and the bottom plate 17 and intersects with the rib plates 18.

[0052] There is an included angle between the rib plate 18 and the bottom plate 17.

[0053] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 17 is a square plate, and the number of rib plates 18 is 9. One of the rib plates 18 is installed in the middle of the bottom plate 17 along the length direction. The end of this rib plate 18 far from the bottom plate 17 is fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The remaining rib plates 18 are divided into two groups and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of this rib plate 18. Each rib plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 17 and the bottom of the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The top of the arc-shaped backing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the uniform load backing plates 23. The multiple uniform load backing plates 23 are arranged at intervals along the radian direction of the arc-shaped backing plate 16. There is an included angle between each rib plate 18 and the bottom plate 17, which is used to improve the stability of the support. The included angles between the rib plates 18 at the two ends of the bottom plate 17 and the bottom plate 17 can be set to 100 degrees and -100 degrees respectively. According to different force conditions, other angles can also be used. The web plate 19 is arranged between two adjacent rib plates 18 and is fixedly connected to the rib plates 18 to improve the stability of the supporting mechanism.

[0054] In a possible embodiment, chutes are arranged on the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The chutes are arranged along the radian direction of the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The number of chutes is two, and the two chutes are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped backing plate 16 along the width direction. Threaded holes are arranged at both ends of the uniform load backing plate 23 along the length direction. The distance between the two threaded holes on the uniform load backing plate 23 is consistent with the distance between the two chutes on the arc-shaped backing plate 16. The two threaded holes are both located above the chutes. When adjusting the radius of the first semi-circle, the distance between the abutting mechanism and the supporting mechanism is adjusted through the jacking mechanism so that the radius of the first semi-circle matches the outer diameter of the horizontal container. If the radius of the first semi-circle cannot match the radius of the horizontal container, then move one or several uniform load backing plates 23 along the chutes to make the position of the abutting mechanism shift. After the movement of the uniform load backing plate 23 is completed, the uniform load backing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped backing plate 16 through bolts, and then continue to adjust the radius of the first semi-circle through the jacking mechanism so that the abutting mechanism is in full contact with the horizontal container, increasing the contact area between the saddle support and the horizontal container and improving the stability of the saddle support.

[0055] The abutting mechanism includes a deformed arc plate 27 and a rubber gasket 28. The rubber gasket 28 is adhesively bonded to the top of the deformed arc plate 27.

[0056] In this embodiment, the deformed arc plate 27 is made of plastic steel. When the abutting mechanism contacts the outer wall of the horizontal container, the deformed arc plate 27 can be deformed by the force to better fit the outer wall of the horizontal container. The size and shape of the rubber gasket 28 are consistent with those of the deformed arc plate 27. The rubber gasket 28 is arranged on the top of the deformed arc plate 27 to facilitate the protection of the outer wall of the horizontal container and avoid the wear of the outer wall of the horizontal container.

[0057] An adjustable arc radius saddle support adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 1: Fix the saddle support at the corresponding position through the threaded holes on both sides of the bottom plate 17, and set multiple saddle supports at intervals according to the size of the horizontal container.

[0059] Determine the number of saddle supports to be set according to the length of the horizontal container, which can be two or three.

[0060] Step 2: Rotate the rocker 12, and the rocker 12 drives the adjusting screw 13 to rotate synchronously. The first jacking part 5 and the second jacking part 6 threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 13 move horizontally to push the deformed arc plate 27 to move up or down.

[0061] Step 3: Hang the horizontal container directly above the saddle support through the hoisting equipment, and adjust the jacking unit 3 in the middle position of the arc-shaped cushion plate 16 to the appropriate height. Then first fit the horizontal container with the abutting mechanism of the jacking unit 3.

[0062] The appropriate height is the lowest height of the jacking unit 3 in the middle position when the horizontal container is placed on the jacking unit 3 in the middle position without interfering with other parts of the saddle support.

[0063] Step 4: Adjust the remaining jacking units 3 according to the operation steps of the jacking unit 3 in Step 2 until all the abutting mechanisms contact the outer wall of the horizontal container, and the deformed arc plates 27 and rubber gaskets 28 on the upper part of the abutting mechanisms are deformed by the force to fit the curvature of the container outer wall.

[0064] Step 5: Determine whether the curvature formed by multiple deformed arc plates 27 matches the curvature of the horizontal container. If not, repeat Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4. If so, place the horizontal container on the saddle support, remove the hoisting equipment, and complete the installation of the horizontal container.

[0065] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any limitation on the present invention. Any simple modification, change, and equivalent structural transformation made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
