Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of film enclosure systems, and in particular, to a corrugated support structure, a film enclosure system, and a film enclosure installation process. Background Art

[0002] Liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas require specialized tanks for storage and transportation. Tank construction requires a multi-layered structure to achieve both sealing and thermal insulation. Film tanks typically incorporate corrugated sheeting to achieve sealing and mitigate material shrinkage at low temperatures.

[0003] In the prior art, the corrugated plate needs to be installed and fixed with the insulation layer and other structures during installation, and the innermost corrugated plate will directly contact the liquefied gas during use after the installation is completed. During this process, the corrugated position on the corrugated plate may be deformed due to pressure. Therefore, a support member compatible with the corrugated structure is usually provided to support the corrugated position to prevent the corrugated position from being deformed by pressure and affecting its use at low temperatures.

[0004] However, to ensure effective support, these supports must be compatible with the corrugated structure. Consequently, different supports must be provided for corrugated structures of varying sizes, increasing costs. Furthermore, when these supports are assembled with the corrugated sheet, the corrugated sheet and the supports must be separately connected to the insulation layer, leading to potential misalignment between them due to assembly errors and other factors. This can also affect the support provided by the supports to the corrugated structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a corrugated support structure, a film enclosure system and a film enclosure installation process, which can solve the problem that existing support parts have poor adaptability to corrugated structures of different sizes and are easily affected by installation errors.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in a first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a corrugated support structure, which is arranged between the corrugated plate and the insulation layer to support the corrugated structure. The corrugated support structure includes: a support member, a first connecting rib and at least two fixing rods. The support member includes two supporting walls, one end of the two supporting walls is connected to each other to form a conical structure, and a support cavity is enclosed between the two supporting walls. The first connecting rib is arranged on the side where the supporting walls are close to each other, and the first connecting rib and each supporting wall enclose at least one first adjustment hole. At least two fixing rods are respectively passed through the first adjustment holes, and the ends of the fixing rods protrude from the support member. The ends of the two supporting walls are elastically connected, and at least one fixing rod is passed through the first adjustment hole corresponding to each supporting wall.

[0007] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, when the corrugated plate is installed, the corrugated support structure is arranged between the corrugated plate and the insulation board to support the corrugated structure. Specifically, the support member as a whole constitutes a conical structure so as to adapt to the shape of the corrugated structure, and the main difference between the corrugated structures of different sizes lies in the different protrusion sizes and the corresponding different lateral sizes. When the support member of the present application is used in a specific application, the two supporting walls are connected to each other to form a conical support member structure, and by adjusting the distance between the two fixing rods, the two supporting walls can be driven away from or closer to each other. When the two supporting walls are away from each other, the lateral size of the support member will increase compared to the original structure, and the protrusion size of the support member will decrease accordingly. When the two supporting walls are close to each other, the lateral size of the support member will decrease compared to the original structure, and the protrusion size of the support member will increase. Therefore, through the above adjustment, the size of the support member can be adjusted accordingly to the different sizes of the corrugated structure. On the one hand, this allows the support member to better fit the corrugated structure, improving the supporting effect on the corrugated structure. On the other hand, it increases the versatility of the support member and the corrugated support structure as a whole, eliminating the need to adjust and produce different support structures for different corrugated structures, thereby reducing production and processing costs. Furthermore, because the end of the fixing rod protrudes from the support member, after the corrugated sheet is installed and covers the support member, the fixing rod can still be used to adjust the protruding size and lateral size of the support member, thereby reducing or even eliminating lateral misalignment errors between the corrugated sheet and the support member during installation, thereby enabling the support member to better support the corrugated structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, an adjustment member is provided at the end of the fixing rod, the adjustment member is provided between the two fixing rods, and the two fixing rods are respectively inserted into the first adjustment holes corresponding to the two supporting walls to adjust and lock the distance between the two fixing rods.

[0009] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, by providing an adjustment member, on the one hand, the spacing between the two fixing rods can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the support member through the two fixing rods. On the other hand, after the adjustment is completed, the relative position between the two fixing rods can be locked, thereby fixing the support member structure and ensuring the stability of the support member during support. In summary, by providing the adjustment member, the adjustment and locking of the fixing rods are achieved, so that the support member can better cooperate with the corrugated structure for support.

[0010] In some embodiments, the adjustment member includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, wherein an end of the first connecting rod remote from the second connecting rod is connected to one of the fixed rods, and an end of the second connecting rod remote from the first connecting rod is connected to the other fixed rod, and an adjustment sleeve is disposed between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. One of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the adjustment sleeve, and the other is threadably connected to the adjustment sleeve.

[0011] Based on the above-described embodiments of the present application, when the adjusting member is in use, the adjusting sleeve is rotated, causing either the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod to rotate relative to the adjusting sleeve. The other of the first and second connecting rods, due to its threaded connection to the adjusting sleeve, undergoes axial relative motion, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two fixed rods. Furthermore, when adjusting the spacing via the threaded connection, the distance the adjusting sleeve moves per rotation is fixed, making the adjustment process more stable and controllable. Furthermore, the threaded connection itself has a certain locking effect, eliminating the need for a separate locking structure. This makes the overall structure of the adjusting member more concise, reducing costs and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least one adjustment block is sleeved on the fixing rod, and the outer contour of the adjustment block is adapted to the inner contour of the first adjustment hole. When the fixing rod is inserted into the first adjustment hole, the adjustment block is located in the first adjustment hole.

[0013] Based on the above-described embodiments of the present application, by providing an adjustment block to adjust the local profile of the fixing rod, the fixing rod can better match the first adjustment hole, thereby enabling the support member to better change shape when the two fixing rods move relative to each other. Furthermore, compared to adjusting the entire cross-sectional shape of the fixing rod to match the first adjustment hole, providing an adjustment block not only saves material and reduces costs, but also facilitates the fixing rod's adaptation to first adjustment holes of varying shapes and facilitates insertion of the fixing rod into the first adjustment hole.

[0014] In some embodiments, the ends of the two supporting walls connected to each other form an arc-shaped supporting end. The ends of the supporting walls away from the arc-shaped supporting end are provided with supporting portions, the two supporting portions are close to each other, and the supporting portions are perpendicular to the protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end.

[0015] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the interconnected ends of the support walls form an arc-shaped support end, thereby adapting to the corrugated structure. The arc-shaped structure can prevent damage to the corrugated plate during the process of supporting the corrugated structure. Furthermore, by forming a support portion at the other end of the support wall, the support wall can better abut and support the insulation layer during the process of supporting the corrugated structure, thereby improving the stability of the support member during use and further enhancing the supporting effect.

[0016] In some embodiments, a second reinforcing rib is provided between the support portion and the first connecting rib, and an extending direction of the second reinforcing rib is parallel to a protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end.

[0017] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the connection between the support portion and the first connecting rib is strengthened by providing a second reinforcing rib, and the extension direction of the second reinforcing rib is parallel to the protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end of the support member, that is, consistent with the protruding direction of the corrugated structure. When the corrugated structure is subjected to external pressure or impact force, the deformation direction is generally opposite to the protruding direction of the corrugated structure. Therefore, the provision of the second reinforcing rib can specifically strengthen the support effect of the corrugated structure.

[0018] In some embodiments, arc-shaped transition structures are provided at the connection position between the first connecting rib and the supporting wall, at the connection position between the second reinforcing rib and the supporting portion, and at the connection position between the second reinforcing rib and the first connecting rib.

[0019] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, by providing an arc-shaped transition structure, on the one hand, the above connection position can be strengthened to improve the overall strength, and on the other hand, stress concentration can be reduced to reduce the possibility of damage to the connection position.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present application, a membrane enclosure system is provided, comprising a corrugated sheet, an insulation layer, and the aforementioned corrugated support structure. The corrugated sheet comprises a sheet body and a corrugated structure, wherein the corrugated structure is formed on the sheet body and the corrugated sheet is fixed to the insulation layer. The corrugated support structure is disposed between the corrugated sheet and the insulation layer to support the corrugated structure.

[0021] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, the membrane enclosure system provided by the present application includes the above-mentioned corrugated support structure, which supports and strengthens the corrugated structure, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation and damage of the corrugated structure when under pressure.

[0022] In some embodiments, the edge of the corrugated plate protrudes from the supporting member, and the end of the fixing rod protrudes from the corrugated plate.

[0023] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, by arranging the edge of the corrugated plate to protrude from the support member, space is reserved for installation of structures such as adjustment members on the fixing rod. Furthermore, by arranging the end of the fixing rod to protrude from the corrugated plate, the support member structure can be adjusted via the fixing rod after the corrugated plate is laid out, thereby, to a certain extent, eliminating assembly errors that may occur during the corrugated plate assembly process, and enabling the support member to better cooperate and support the corrugated structure.

[0024] In some embodiments, a bending section is provided at one end of the fixing rod, and the bending direction of the bending section is from the direction of the thermal insulation layer toward the direction of the corrugated plate.

[0025] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, multiple corrugated plates need to be spliced ​​in sequence when they are laid out. By setting a bending section at one end of the fixing rod, the two groups of fixing rods can be staggered with each other at the intersection of the two corrugated plates, thereby avoiding interference between the fixing rods and affecting the installation process.

[0026] According to a third aspect of the present application, a membrane enclosure installation process is provided for use in the installation and construction of the above-mentioned membrane enclosure system. The membrane enclosure installation process comprises the following steps:

[0027] Insulation installation, which secures the insulation to the inner wall of the outer tank of the membrane containment system.

[0028] The support structure is installed by first setting the support member on the insulation layer according to the arrangement of the corrugated structure, and then passing the fixing rod through the first adjustment hole to realize the assembly of the support member and the fixing rod.

[0029] For the initial adjustment, the adjusting sleeve is rotated to adjust the distance between the two fixing rods, thereby adjusting the angle formed by the two supporting walls in the support member, changing the shape of the support member so that the shape of the support member is compatible with the corrugated structure.

[0030] The corrugated plate is installed by placing the corrugated plate on the insulation layer and the supporting structure. At the same time, the corrugated structure and the supporting member are set correspondingly, and the end of the fixing rod protrudes from the corrugated plate, and then the corrugated plate and the insulation layer are fixed.

[0031] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, compared to the traditional corrugated sheet installation and support construction process, the present application adjusts the specific structure of the support member, adds an initial adjustment step during the installation process, and adjusts the shape of the support member through the fixing rod, thereby enabling the shape of the support member to be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the corrugated structure, thereby improving the versatility of the corrugated support structure, making it suitable for supporting corrugated structures of different sizes within a certain range, thereby reducing usage costs. At the same time, it can also improve the supporting effect of the corrugated support structure on the corrugated structure.

[0032] In some embodiments, after the corrugated plate is installed, the membrane enclosure installation process also includes the steps of: final support adjustment, rotating the adjustment sleeve to adjust the distance between the two fixed rods, and then adjusting the angle formed by the two support walls in the support member to eliminate the misalignment error between the arc support end and the corrugated structure.

[0033] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the structure of the support member is adjusted after the corrugated plate is installed. By changing the structure of the support member, the arc-shaped support end of the support member can be moved horizontally, so that the arc-shaped support end is aligned with the raised position of the corrugated structure, so that the support member can be better aligned and supported with the corrugated structure, thereby improving the support effect and reducing the impact of installation errors.

[0034] Other features and advantages of the present application will be described in detail in the subsequent detailed description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0050] In the existing technology, the corrugated plate needs to be installed and fixed with the insulation layer and other structures during installation, and the innermost corrugated plate, that is, the corrugated plate closest to the inside of the storage tank, will directly contact the liquefied gas during use after the installation is completed. During this process, the corrugated protrusions on the corrugated plate may be deformed due to pressure. Therefore, a support structure that is compatible with the corrugated protrusions is usually provided to support the corrugated protrusions to prevent the corrugated protrusions from being deformed under pressure and affecting their use at low temperatures.

[0051] However, to ensure effective support, the aforementioned support structure must be precisely aligned with the corrugated protrusions. Consequently, different support structures must be provided for corrugated protrusions of varying sizes, increasing production and processing costs. Furthermore, when the aforementioned support structure is assembled with the corrugated plate, since the corrugated plate and the support structure must be separately connected to the insulation layer, there may be some misalignment between the two due to factors such as assembly errors. This can also affect the support structure's effectiveness in supporting the corrugated protrusions.

[0052] In summary, the supporting structure in the prior art has problems such as poor adaptability to corrugated protrusions of different sizes and easy loss of support effect due to installation errors.

[0053] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the embodiment of the present application provides a corrugated support structure, which is arranged between the corrugated plate 4 and the insulation layer to support the corrugated structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , the corrugated support structure includes: a support member 1, a first connecting rib 13 and at least two fixing rods 2. The following is a detailed description of the structure and connection method of each part:

[0054] The support member 1 includes two support walls 11, one end of the two support walls 11 is interconnected to form a conical structure, and a support cavity 12 is enclosed between the two support walls 11. Specifically, during the production and processing of the corrugated plate 4, a corrugated structure is usually set at equal intervals on the plate body, the cross-section of the corrugated structure is set to be conical, and the side wall of the corrugated structure is set to be a curved surface structure. In the present application, the two support walls 11 are interconnected to form the main structure of the support member 1, and the cross-sectional shape of the support member 1 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the corrugated structure. At the same time, in order to make the support member 1 better fit the corrugated structure, the two support walls 11 can also be set to a curved surface structure accordingly.

[0055] When the two support walls 11 are connected to form the main structure of the support member 1, a first connecting rib 13 is disposed on the side of the two support walls 11 that is closest to each other. The first connecting rib 13 and each support wall 11 enclose at least one first adjustment hole 14. The fixing rod 2 is inserted into the first adjustment hole 14, with the end of the fixing rod 2 protruding from the support member 1. The provision of the first connecting rib 13 not only forms the first adjustment hole 14 for the fixing rod 2 to mate with, but also serves as a reinforcement structure within the support cavity 12, enhancing the overall strength of the support member 1.

[0056] The ends of the two supporting walls 11 are elastically connected, and at least one fixing rod 2 is inserted into the first adjustment hole 14 corresponding to each supporting wall 11 .

[0057] It should be noted that the aforementioned "elastic connection of the ends of the two support walls 11" in this application means that while the ends of the two support walls 11 are connected, the angle between the two support walls 11 can still be adjusted within a certain range. In practice, the elastic connection can be achieved by any suitable means, for example, by configuring the ends of the two support walls 11 to be made of an elastic material. Alternatively, the ends of the two support walls 11 can be directly connected using a pin. The specific configuration can be determined based on the support and adjustment requirements, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0058] Based on the above-described embodiments of the present application, when the corrugated sheet 4 is installed, the corrugated support structure is disposed between the corrugated sheet 4 and the insulation board to support the corrugated structure. Specifically, the support member 1 is formed as a whole into a conical structure to match the shape of the corrugated structure. The corrugated structures of different sizes mainly differ in the size of the protrusions and the corresponding lateral dimensions.

[0059] When the support member 1 of the present application is used in a specific application, the two support walls 11 are connected to each other to form a tapered support member 1 structure, and by adjusting the distance between the two fixing rods 2, the two support walls 11 can be driven to move away from or closer to each other. When the two support walls 11 move away from each other, the lateral size of the support member 1 will increase compared to the original structure, and the protruding size of the support member 1 will decrease accordingly. When the two support walls 11 move closer to each other, the lateral size of the support member 1 will decrease compared to the original structure, and the protruding size of the support member 1 will increase. Therefore, through the above-mentioned adjustment, the size of the support member 1 can be adjusted accordingly according to the different sizes of the corrugated structure. On the one hand, the support member 1 can better fit the corrugated structure and improve the supporting effect on the corrugated structure. On the other hand, the versatility of the support member 1 and the corrugated support structure as a whole is improved, so that there is no need to adjust the production of different support structures for different corrugated structures, thereby reducing production and processing costs.

[0060] Furthermore, since the end of the fixing rod 2 protrudes from the support member 1, after the corrugated plate 4 is installed and covers the support member 1, the protrusion size and lateral size of the support member 1 can still be adjusted through the fixing rod 2, thereby reducing or even eliminating the lateral misalignment error between the corrugated plate 4 and the support member 1 during installation, thereby enabling the support member 1 to better support the corrugated structure.

[0061] The above only describes the shape of the corrugated support structure itself and the supporting mechanism for the corrugated structure. In actual use, a single corrugated plate 4 is usually provided with multiple corrugated structures. For example, the same corrugated plate 4 can be provided with two corrugated structures that are perpendicular to each other in the plane, and the two corrugated structures intersect to form a cross-shaped structure. In this case, corresponding support members 1 are provided in the two corrugated structures for support. Similarly, when a single corrugated plate 4 is provided with multiple parallel corrugated structures or other more complex corrugated structures, corresponding support members 1 can also be provided in each corrugated structure to complete the support. The specific setting can be based on the structure of the corrugated plate 4, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0062] In this application, the fixing rod 2 is used to adjust the shape of the support member 1, and after the adjustment is completed, the shape of the support member 1 needs to be fixed. In order to achieve the above functions, refer to Figure 3As shown in , in some embodiments of the present application, an adjusting member 3 may be provided at the end of the fixing rod 2, the adjusting member 3 is arranged between the two fixing rods 2, and the two fixing rods 2 are respectively passed through the first adjusting holes 14 corresponding to the two supporting walls 11, so as to adjust and lock the distance between the two fixing rods 2.

[0063] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, by providing the adjusting member 3, on the one hand, the spacing between the two fixing rods 2 can be adjusted, and the size of the support member 1 can be adjusted through the two fixing rods 2. On the other hand, after the adjustment is completed, the relative position between the two fixing rods 2 can be locked, thereby fixing the structure of the support member 1 and ensuring the stability of the support member 1 during support. In summary, by providing the adjusting member 3, the adjustment and locking of the fixing rods 2 are achieved, so that the support member 1 can better cooperate with the corrugated structure for support.

[0064] Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment provided herein, the specific structure of the adjustment member 3 may include a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32, wherein one end of the first connecting rod 31 away from the second connecting rod 32 is connected to one of the fixed rods 2, and one end of the second connecting rod 32 away from the first connecting rod 31 is connected to the other fixed rod 2, and an adjustment sleeve 33 is provided between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32. One of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the adjustment sleeve 33, and the other is threadedly connected to the adjustment sleeve 33.

[0065] Based on the above-described embodiment of the present application, when the adjusting member 3 is in use, the adjusting sleeve 33 is rotated. At this time, the first connecting rod 31 or the second connecting rod 32 will rotate relative to the adjusting sleeve 33, and the other of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 will undergo axial relative movement due to the threaded connection with the adjusting sleeve 33, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two fixed rods 2. At the same time, when adjusting the spacing through the threaded connection, the distance moved by the adjusting sleeve 33 per rotation is fixed, making the adjustment process more stable and controllable. In addition, the threaded connection itself has a certain locking effect, so there is no need to provide a separate locking structure, making the overall structure of the adjusting member 3 more concise, not only reducing costs but also facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0066] Specifically, when using the adjustment member 3 to adjust the distance between the two fixed rods 2, the first connecting rod 31, the adjustment sleeve 33, and the second connecting rod 32 are coaxially connected in sequence to form the main structure of the adjustment member 3. Taking the threaded connection between the first connecting rod 31 and the adjustment sleeve 33 as an example, the second connecting rod 32 is rotationally connected to the adjustment sleeve 33. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two fixed rods 2, the adjustment sleeve 33 is rotated. At this time, the first connecting rod 31 and the adjustment sleeve 33 undergo axial relative movement due to the threaded connection, thereby achieving distance adjustment. At the same time, in order to ensure that the shape of the support member 1 is consistent along the length direction, the distance between the two fixed rods 2 should be equal when the shape of the support member 1 is adjusted by the fixed rod 2, that is, the two fixed rods 2 should remain parallel.

[0067] In addition, for ease of adjustment, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 can be movably connected to the fixed rod 2. For example, the first connecting rod 31 and the fixed rod 2 can be connected by a pin so that the fixed rod 2 and the first connecting rod 31 can be movably connected.

[0068] The present application discloses a specific adjustment structure and corresponding adjustment method for the distance between the two fixing rods 2. In use, any appropriate adjustment and locking method can be selected according to actual conditions while meeting the above-mentioned adjustment and locking requirements.

[0069] refer to Figure 2 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present application, at least one adjustment block 22 can be sleeved on the fixing rod 2, and the outer contour of the adjustment block 22 is adapted to the inner contour of the first adjustment hole 14. When the fixing rod 2 is inserted into the first adjustment hole 14, the adjustment block 22 is located in the first adjustment hole 14.

[0070] Based on the above-described embodiment of the present application, by providing an adjustment block 22 to adjust the local profile of the fixing rod 2, the fixing rod 2 can be better matched with the first adjustment hole 14, thereby enabling the support member 1 to better change shape when the two fixing rods 2 move relative to each other. At the same time, compared to the method of adjusting the overall cross-sectional shape of the fixing rod 2 to match the inner profile of the first adjustment hole 14, the method of providing the adjustment block 22 not only saves material and reduces costs, but also facilitates the fixing rod 2 to be adapted to first adjustment holes 14 of different shapes, while also facilitating the insertion of the fixing rod 2 into the first adjustment hole 14.

[0071] For example, when the first adjustment hole 14 is configured as a circle, the fixing rod 2 can be configured as a circular rod-shaped structure, and the cross-sectional diameter of the fixing rod 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first adjustment hole 14. In this case, the adjustment block 22 is configured as a ring-shaped structure to achieve filling between the fixing rod 2 and the first adjustment hole 14. The adjustment block 22 only needs to fill a small portion of the space between the fixing rod 2 and the first adjustment hole 14, rather than filling the entire space. For another example, when the first adjustment hole 14 is configured as an irregular shape, the fixing rod 2 can still be configured as a circular rod-shaped structure, and only the shape of the adjustment block 22 needs to be changed to adapt to the structure of the first adjustment hole 14.

[0072] refer to Figure 2 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present application, the ends of the two supporting walls 11 connected to each other form an arc-shaped supporting end 15. The ends of the supporting walls 11 away from the arc-shaped supporting end 15 are provided with supporting portions 16, the two supporting portions 16 are close to each other, and the supporting portions 16 are perpendicular to the protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end 15.

[0073] Based on the above-described embodiment of the present application, the arcuate support end 15 formed by the interconnected ends of the support wall 11 is adapted to the corrugated structure. The arcuate structure can prevent damage to the corrugated plate 4 during the process of supporting the corrugated structure. The support portion 16 formed at the other end of the support wall 11 can better abut and support the thermal insulation layer during the process of supporting the corrugated structure, thereby improving the stability of the support member 1 during use and further enhancing the supporting effect.

[0074] refer to Figure 2 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present application, a second reinforcing rib 17 is provided between the support portion 16 and the first connecting rib 13 , and an extending direction of the second reinforcing rib 17 is parallel to a protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end 15 .

[0075] It should be noted that the "extension direction of the second reinforcing rib 17" referred to herein refers to the extension direction of the second reinforcing rib 17 within a cross-section formed along the direction of the corrugated structure's protrusion, i.e., the direction of the corrugated structure's protrusion. To ensure effective support for the corrugated structure during actual use, the support member 1 and fixing rod 2 are positioned along the direction of the corrugated structure's extension. Furthermore, the first connecting rib 13, support portion 16, and second reinforcing rib 17 within the support cavity 12 are positioned accordingly.

[0076] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the connection between the support portion 16 and the first connecting rib 13 is strengthened by providing a second reinforcing rib 17, and the extension direction of the second reinforcing rib 17 is parallel to the protruding direction of the arc-shaped supporting end 15 of the support member 1, that is, consistent with the protruding direction of the corrugated structure. When the corrugated structure is subjected to external pressure or impact force, the deformation direction is generally opposite to the protruding direction of the corrugated structure. Therefore, the provision of the second reinforcing rib 17 can specifically strengthen the support effect of the corrugated structure.

[0077] Specifically, the support portion 16, the second reinforcing ribs 17, and the first connecting ribs 13 are sequentially connected to form a reinforced support structure that reinforces the interior of the support cavity 12. During use, the pressure exerted on the support wall 11 is transmitted through the first connecting ribs 13 to the second reinforcing ribs 17, and then to the support portion 16 through the second reinforcing ribs 17. Finally, through the contact between the support portion 16 and the insulation layer, the pressure is directly transmitted to the insulation layer, thus achieving a complete support structure from the corrugated plate 4 to the corrugated support structure and then to the insulation layer, thereby improving the support effect of the corrugated structure on the corrugated plate 4.

[0078] refer to Figure 2 As shown in , in some embodiments, arc-shaped transition structures are provided at the connection position between the first connecting rib 13 and the support wall 11, the connection position between the second reinforcing rib 17 and the support portion 16, and the connection position between the second reinforcing rib 17 and the first connecting rib 13.

[0079] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of this application, by providing a curved transition structure, on the one hand, the above-mentioned connection location can be strengthened, improving overall strength. On the other hand, it can also reduce stress concentration and reduce the possibility of damage at the connection location. In actual use, the above-mentioned curved transition structure can be achieved by rounding the corners.

[0080] On the basis of the above technical solution, this application also provides a film enclosure system, referring to Figures 4 to 6 As shown in FIG, the membrane enclosure system includes a corrugated sheet 4, an insulation layer (not shown), and the aforementioned corrugated support structure. The corrugated sheet 4 comprises a sheet body and a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure is formed on the sheet body, and the corrugated sheet 4 is fixed to the insulation layer. The corrugated support structure is disposed between the corrugated sheet 4 and the insulation layer to support the corrugated structure.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments of the present application, the membrane enclosure system provided by the present application includes the above-mentioned corrugated support structure, which supports and strengthens the corrugated structure, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation and damage of the corrugated structure when under pressure.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the edge of the corrugated plate 4 may protrude from the support member 1 , and the end of the fixing rod 2 may protrude from the corrugated plate 4 .

[0083] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, by arranging the edge of the corrugated plate 4 to protrude from the support member 1, space is reserved for the installation of structures such as the adjustment member 3 on the fixing rod 2. By arranging the end of the fixing rod 2 to protrude from the corrugated plate 4, the structure of the support member 1 can be adjusted through the fixing rod 2 after the corrugated plate 4 is laid out, thereby eliminating assembly errors that occur during the assembly of the corrugated plate 4 to a certain extent, allowing the support member 1 to better cooperate and support the corrugated structure.

[0084] refer to Figure 4 As shown in , in some embodiments of the present application, a bending section 21 may be provided at one end of the fixing rod 2 , and the bending direction of the bending section 21 is from the direction of the heat insulation layer toward the direction of the corrugated plate 4 .

[0085] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, multiple corrugated plates 4 need to be spliced ​​in sequence when they are laid out, and by providing a bending section 21 at one end of the fixing rod 2, the two groups of fixing rods 2 can be staggered with each other at the intersection of the two corrugated plates 4, thereby avoiding interference between the fixing rods 2 and affecting the installation process.

[0086] Furthermore, it should be noted that the membrane enclosure system in this application is not limited to the above structure. In actual use, the specific structure of the membrane enclosure system can be adjusted according to the actual use requirements. For example, it can be adjusted to a double-layer membrane structure, or the structure of the insulation layer can also be adjusted.

[0087] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present application further provides a film enclosure installation process, which is applicable to the installation and construction of the above film enclosure system. The film enclosure installation process includes the following steps:

[0088] S100: Insulation installation, fixing the insulation layer to the inner wall of the outer tank of the membrane containment system.

[0089] In the above steps, during the actual construction process of the membrane storage tank, the outer tank is usually poured with concrete first, and then the insulation layer is installed on the inner wall of the outer tank. During the specific assembly, the insulation layer can be fixed by anchor rods or other methods.

[0090] S200: Support structure installation: first, the support member 1 is arranged on the insulation layer according to the arrangement of the corrugated structure, and then the fixing rod 2 is passed through the first adjustment hole 14 to realize the assembly of the support member 1 and the fixing rod 2.

[0091] During the above steps, the support member 1 and the fixing rod 2 are first assembled. The support member 1 is positioned on the insulation layer in the arrangement of the corrugated structure. The adjustment block 22 is then fitted onto the fixing rod 2 and may be reinforced by gluing or other methods. The fixing rod 2 and the adjustment block 22 are then inserted into the first adjustment hole 14, completing the assembly of the support member 1 and the fixing rod 2. During this process, the support member 1 remains movable relative to the insulation layer.

[0092] S300: Initial adjustment: rotate the adjusting sleeve 33 to adjust the distance between the two fixing rods 2, thereby adjusting the angle formed by the two supporting walls 11 in the support member 1, changing the shape of the support member 1 so that the shape of the support member 1 is compatible with the corrugated structure.

[0093] In the above steps, the shape of the support member 1 is adjusted by fixing the rod 2 to achieve pre-adjustment, so that the support member 1 can better adapt to the shape of the corrugated structure, better fit the corrugated structure, and enhance the supporting effect on the corrugated structure.

[0094] S400: Install the corrugated plate 4. Place the corrugated plate 4 on the insulation layer and the support structure. At the same time, the corrugated structure and the support member 1 are arranged correspondingly. The end of the fixing rod 2 protrudes from the corrugated plate 4. Then, the corrugated plate 4 is fixed to the insulation layer.

[0095] In the above steps, the corrugated plate 4 can be fixed to the insulation layer through various connection methods including anchoring or bonding. In actual use, the selection can be based on factors such as the connection strength requirements and the structure of each part. This application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0096] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, compared to the traditional construction process for installing and supporting the corrugated plate 4, the present application adjusts the specific structure of the support member 1, adds an initial adjustment step during the installation process, and adjusts the shape of the support member 1 via the fixing rod 2. This allows the shape of the support member 1 to be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the corrugated structure, thereby improving the versatility of the corrugated support structure, making it suitable for supporting corrugated structures of different sizes within a certain range, thereby reducing the cost of use. At the same time, it can also improve the supporting effect of the corrugated support structure on the corrugated structure.

[0097] In the present application, the corrugated support structure must achieve both movable adjustment of the support member 1 structure and ultimately a fixed connection with the insulation layer during installation. In an exemplary embodiment provided in the present application, a connecting block can be provided on the first connecting rod 31 or the second connecting rod 32. The connecting block can be moved axially along the first connecting rod 31 or the second connecting rod 32. An anchor rod is pre-set on the insulation layer. Once the shape of the support member 1 is adjusted and the position of the fixing rod 2 is determined, the connecting block can be moved and fixed to the anchor rod by means of threaded connection, thereby fixing the fixing rod 2 and the overall position of the support member 1.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, after the corrugated plate 4 is installed, the membrane enclosure installation process may further include step S500: final support adjustment, rotating the adjustment sleeve 33 to adjust the distance between the two fixed rods 2, and then adjusting the angle formed by the two support walls 11 in the support member 1 to eliminate the misalignment error between the arc-shaped support end 15 and the corrugated structure.

[0099] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the structure of the support member 1 is adjusted after the installation of the corrugated plate 4 is completed. By changing the structure of the support member 1, the arc-shaped support end 15 of the support member 1 can be moved horizontally, so that the arc-shaped support end 15 is aligned with the raised position of the corrugated structure, so that the support member 1 can be better aligned and supported with the corrugated structure, thereby improving the support effect and reducing the impact of installation errors.

[0100] Specifically, during the installation of the membrane enclosure system, the corrugated panels 4 and the corrugated support structure must be installed sequentially, requiring the corrugated support structure to be installed before the corrugated panels 4. Furthermore, the joints between the individual corrugations of the corrugated panels 4 must be sealed. Therefore, the position of the corrugated panels 4 can only be adjusted based on the positions of adjacent corrugated panels 4, rather than flexibly adjusted based on the position of the corrugated support structure. This makes it easy for the corrugated panels 4 to misalign with the corrugated support structure, and this misalignment is difficult to eliminate using conventional support structures.

[0101] Through the above-mentioned setting of the present application, the corrugated support structure is still installed before the corrugated plate 4, but the support member 1 structure is not fixed at this time. After the position of the corrugated plate 4 is fixed, the position of the support member 1 can be adjusted according to the position of the corrugated structure on the corrugated plate 4, thereby reducing or even eliminating the misalignment error between the support member 1 and the corrugated structure, and ensuring the supporting effect of the support member 1 on the corrugated plate 4.

[0102] refer to Figure 6As shown in the figure, two corrugated plates 4 are provided, each with perpendicular and intersecting transverse corrugations 41 and longitudinal corrugations 42. After the corrugated plates 4 and the corrugated support structure are installed, the arrangement direction of the two corrugated plates 4 aligns with the extension direction of the transverse corrugations 41, and the edges of the two corrugated plates 4 intersect. Furthermore, the two transverse corrugations 41 on the two corrugated plates 4 intersect.

[0103] At the intersection of two transverse corrugations 41, the corresponding two corrugated support structures are staggered. The bent sections 21 at one end of the fixing rods 2 allow the fixing rods 2 of two adjacent corrugated support structures to be staggered in the height direction of the intersection, with the ends of one set of fixing rods 2 closer to the corrugated plate 4 and the ends of the other set closer to the insulation layer. This height direction refers to the direction from the insulation layer to the corrugated plate 4.

[0104] At the intersecting positions of the transverse corrugations 41 and the longitudinal corrugations 42, since the sizes of the transverse corrugations 41 and the longitudinal corrugations 42 on the corrugated plate 4 are generally different, the sizes of the corresponding support members 1 are also different, resulting in differences in the heights of the fixing rods 2 in the transverse and longitudinal directions, allowing the fixing rods 2 to be naturally staggered.

[0105] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present application, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0106] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner unless there is any contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this application will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0107] In addition, the various implementation methods of the present application may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present application, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed in the present application.
