[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a method for high-clearance roof insulation without high-altitude operation in a single-layer cold storage facility, specifically a roof assembled from prefabricated panels for a single cold storage unit.

[0036] Cold storage specifications: Internal dimensions 75.6m × 21m × 20m; insulation layer is composed of 250mm thick polyurethane machine-made panels; total weight 1587.6m³. 2 ×20.86kg / m 2 = 33.1 tons.

[0037] Implementation steps

[0038] Calculation and verification of lifting point coordinates: The proposed assembly panel specifications are 7m × 1.2m × 0.25m.

[0039] Longitudinal spacing: Based on the length of the cold storage of 75.6m, 3 rows of hanging points are designed, with a row spacing of 7m except for the distance from the wall of 3.5m. The total span covers 63 machine-made panels.

[0040] Lateral spacing: The cold storage is 21m wide and designed with 8 rows of hanging points. The row spacing is 9.6m except for the 4.2m distance from the wall, corresponding to 3 machine-made panels.

[0041] Mechanical verification: The spreader beam is made of 18a channel steel, subjected to a uniformly distributed load q = 145 kg / m, with a maximum bending moment M = 1682 kg·m at mid-span and a maximum stress σ = 1191.2 kg / cm². 2 Less than the allowable stress of Q235A 1250 kg / cm² 2 .

[0042] Equipment configuration and installation:

[0043] Electric hoists: 24 electric chain hoists with a rated lifting capacity of 2t are selected, with a maximum load of 1444.36kg per lifting point (<2t×80%=1600kg).

[0044] Spreader beam connection: An M16 mushroom bolt is installed through the center of each machined plate, and it is connected to the channel steel through a cold-drawn connecting sleeve to ensure uniform load transfer.

[0045] Elastic guides: Two roller guides are installed on each of the four sides of the insulation layer. The magnetic base is attached to the surface of the roof insulation board. The spring preload is set to 300N to effectively limit horizontal swaying.

[0046] Technical effects:

[0047] Efficiency improvement: The total construction period for ground assembly has been shortened from the traditional 20 days to less than 10 days.

[0048] Cost savings: Reduce aerial work platform rental costs by tens of thousands of yuan and reduce labor costs by more than 50%.

[0049] Safety: No high-altitude operations throughout the entire process, with a zero accident rate.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a method for high-clearance rooftop insulation of a single-story cold storage facility without high-altitude operations. Specifically;

[0052] Cold storage parameters: internal net dimensions 39.6m × 22m × 20m, insulation layer is 250mm thick polyurethane sprayed on-site, total weight 871.2m³. 2 ×32kg / m 2 = 27.9 tons.

[0053] Implementation steps:

[0054] Skeleton design and painting process:

[0055] Upper and lower chord frame: The upper chord is welded from 40×40×4 angle steel at 1100×1100mm, and the lower chord is welded from 30x30x3 angle steel at 1100×1100mm. A 250mm high support frame is formed by Φ18 nylon rods. 0.426mm thick V-shaped pressed color steel sheet.

[0057] Optimization of lifting points and load distribution:

[0058] Longitudinal spacing: Designed with 5 rows of hanging points, with a row spacing of 4.4m, covering a cold storage width of 22m (22÷4.4=5).

[0059] Lateral spacing: Designed with 4 rows of hanging points, with a row spacing of 9.9m, covering a cold storage length of 39.6m (39.6 ÷ 9.9 = 4).

[0060] Concentrated load verification: Single suspension point load 1393.92 kg, maximum bending moment of the spreader beam 1703.68 kg·m, stress σ=1205 kg / cm² 2 The safety reserve factor is greater than 2.

[0061] The technical benefits achieved include: reduced construction time and labor costs by more than half compared to high-altitude operations; and high safety with a zero accident rate.

[0062] Material utilization rate: Ground spraying reduces high-altitude losses.

[0063] This invention addresses three major pain points in traditional cold storage roof insulation construction through systematic innovation: the risks of working at heights, low efficiency, and high costs. By calculating the load of the spreader beam and dynamically adjusting the lifting points, a balance between structural safety and economy is ensured. Standardized toolkits, including flexible guides and linkage control boxes, are formed to adapt to the needs of cold storage facilities of different sizes. Pre-installation of lighting and ventilation ducts on the ground reduces overlapping work at heights and shortens the construction period by more than 30%. The design of reserved openings and deceleration devices balances construction safety with convenient later transportation.

[0064] This invention is applicable to fields with high requirements for cleanliness and safety, such as food cold chain and pharmaceutical warehousing. In addition, the group lifting principle of this invention can be extended to scenarios such as large factory roof installation and ship section construction.

[0065] Compared to traditional methods:

[0066] index This invention Traditional high-altitude operations Construction period Shorten by 50%-60% Long cycle Safety accident rate 0% 0.5%-1% per year Comprehensive cost Reduce by 5-10% High proportion of equipment leasing Environmental protection Reduce material waste High-altitude spraying results in high losses.

[0067] It should be noted that

[0068] Several things that need to be done well.

[0069] 1. The determination of the location and number of lifting points for a group of cranes should be synchronized with the planning and design of the project.

[0070] After an engineering project is put into operation, its usability, practicality, rationality, advanced technology, and cost-effectiveness largely depend on the scientific and rational nature of its planning. This high-altitude operation method suggests that the insulation professionals be involved in the planning stage of the project to jointly ensure the smooth operation of the group hoisting. Relevant parameters of the group hoisting, such as coordinates, quantity, and load, should be submitted to the design department in a timely manner, and hooks should be pre-installed during construction. Furthermore, the construction department should be required to mark contour lines and cold storage insulation surface lines at 2-meter intervals along the walls and columns after plastering, for easy reference during group hoisting operations.

[0071] 2. This method of avoiding high-altitude operations mainly involves raising the roof insulation of a single-story, high-clearance cold storage facility to the designed height after the ground level is completed, thus essentially eliminating the need for high-altitude work. The specific methods for fabricating the insulation layer, fixing it to the roof structure, and integrating it with the wall insulation are still largely determined by the established practices or best practices of each professional unit.

[0072] 3. The attachment of electric hoists or hoist traction chains, operator safety belts, and slings to the pre-installed hooks on the roof surface is problematic. Since the compressive strength of the insulated roof surface, whether machine-made or sprayed on-site, is relatively low and insufficient to withstand the pressure of aerial work platforms or lifting platforms, and because ground-level construction doesn't involve being flush with the ground but rather supported at a suitable height using a support structure similar to a crib, this high-altitude work method recommends that the above three items be pre-attached using an aerial work platform or mobile four-post aluminum alloy lifting platform before the roof insulation layer is installed (since chain hoists are easy to install and remove, the chain can be attached first, and then connected to the hoist during group lifting operations).

[0073] 4. A minimum clearance of 1.6m should be maintained for the hanging components. Since the hanging components have a certain length and the electric hoist has a minimum retraction distance, the clearance between the insulated roof and the building roof hook should be at least 1.6m.

[0074] The five specialized tools for non-high-altitude operations are equipped with CC-type turnbuckles and shackles, primarily to increase fulcrums and facilitate flexible hoisting. For example, when used as fulcrums for hoisting safety belts, if a hoist malfunctions during group operations, the CC turnbuckle and shackles can be used to immediately replace the hoist. At the end of the group operation, the CC turnbuckle and shackles can replace the hoist, and the hoist can be removed, transforming the insulated roof into a large operating platform. Additionally, the turnbuckles can fine-tune the height of the insulated roof, facilitating coordination with wall insulation construction and benefiting the connection of large cold storage units to secondary and tertiary insulation panels.

[0075] <II> Preparatory work to be done before the assignment.

[0076] 1. Prepare a written hoisting plan. This high-altitude operation method believes that since the hoisting content is relatively simple, it is sufficient to fill in a special plan preparation form. However, the operators and relevant personnel must read it carefully, make sure the content is clear, and sign it.

[0077] 2. If only a traction chain is to be pre-attached, the hoist and chain should be assembled and the electrical wiring connected.

[0078] 3. Carefully inspect the condition of the equipment and site, especially the electric hoist chain for any twisting, knotting, or piling up. Check for any misalignment or overturning of the lower hook of the lifting chain, whether the lifting sprocket and guide wheel are properly engaged with the chain, whether the upper and lower hooks are secure, and whether all connecting fulcrums are securely connected.

[0079] 4. Check if the current and voltage are normal, and whether all personnel involved in operations and logistics are in place.

[0080] 5. Whether the emergency response plan has been implemented.

[0081] 6. Operators must fasten their safety belts.

[0082] <III> During the operation:

[0083] 1. Each operator should take their position, connect the power supply, and rotate the electric hoist forward and backward once to check if the rotation is flexible. Each electric hoist should be pre-tightened, and the tension should be consistent.

[0084] 2. Perform a trial lift, raising the hoist to about 1 meter and then stopping for a comprehensive inspection. Pay attention to whether the chain and hoist are normal, and whether the levelness is even.

[0085] 3. During operation, strictly follow the principle of making minor adjustments every 2 meters of elevation. Do not attempt to lift the object quickly in one go. Prevent "slanted pulling" and ensure "stable start, stable operation, and stable position".

[0086] 4. End of hoisting. After hoisting is completed, promptly insert and tighten the turnbuckles to replace the electric hoist. Remove the electric hoist and other tools and equipment safely from the site.

[0087] 5. Fill in the escape routes.

[0088] <iv> Do a good job in safety work.

[0089] (1) Operators must have a strong sense of responsibility and dedication, and must undergo training and assessment in the "Crane Operator" program and obtain a certificate before starting work.

[0090] (2) Operators must wear safety belts when working, have a high level of safety awareness, and always be aware of safety.

[0091] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
