Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a method for installing steel structure beams for light wells. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more public buildings are using steel structure skylights. On-site installation is mostly done by cranes or tower cranes. Since public buildings have large spans, the skylights are often located in the middle of the structure, and tower cranes often cannot fully cover them, making it impossible to directly hoist the steel structure. If large cranes are used for installation, it will cause uneconomical on-site construction.

[0003] Therefore, how to install the steel structure beams of the skylight well under the premise of economical construction and when the tower crane range is insufficient has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The core objective of this invention is to provide a method for installing steel structure beams for light wells, which solves the problems of insufficient coverage of hoisting equipment and uneconomical construction in the prior art, and enables the installation of rectangular steel beams with a span of ≤12m on flat roofs with slopes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for installing steel beams for skylights, applicable to flat roofs, where the steel beams of the skylights to be installed are rectangular steel beams; the method includes the following steps:

[0007] Step S1: According to the dimensions and strength requirements of the design drawings, complete the processing and fabrication of multiple steel structure beams for the aforementioned skylights on the roof site;

[0008] Step S2: Fabricate a steel structure beam transport frame, which includes a crossbeam and support frames fixed below both sides of the crossbeam, and each support frame is equipped with casters.

[0009] Step S3: The steel structure beam transport frame is lifted to the designated working position on the roof by a tower crane, and manual hoists are fixed on both sides of the crossbeam of the steel structure beam transport frame with lifting straps. Then, the transport frame is tested and adjusted to ensure that it moves smoothly.

[0010] Step S4 involves transporting and installing the steel structure beams using the steel structure beam transport frame, specifically including:

[0011] Step S41, steel beam hoisting and positioning: using a tower crane, a finished light well steel structure beam is hoisted to the underside of the crossbeam of the steel structure beam transport frame, and the steel structure beam is firmly fixed to the hook of the manual hoist using hoisting straps;

[0012] Step S42, Steel beam transportation: The operator simultaneously pushes the steel structure beam transportation frame on both sides to transport the steel structure beam smoothly to the preset installation position;

[0013] Step S43, Precise installation and fixing: Operators on both sides operate the manual hoist simultaneously to adjust the installation height of the steel structure beam, and use a level to measure the levelness of the steel structure beam in real time. After the installation height and levelness meet the design requirements, the steel structure beam is welded and fixed to the roof embedded parts. After welding and fixing, the weld is inspected for flaws. The weld strength meets the construction quality acceptance specifications for steel structures.

[0014] Step S5: Repeat the operation of step S4 in order from farthest to near until all the steel structure beams of the light wells are installed.

[0015] In some embodiments, the method for manufacturing the steel structure beam transport frame specifically includes:

[0016] Step S21: Measure the actual span of the light well, accurately calculate the weight of the steel structure beam to be installed, draw the construction drawings of the steel structure beam transport frame based on the calculation results, and prepare the materials according to the construction drawings.

[0017] Step S22: Process the crossbeam of the steel structure beam transport frame, and the crossbeam is a truss structure;

[0018] Step S23: Weld the support frames on both sides. The support frames include an A-frame structure, and the A-frame structure is provided with a horizontal connecting beam along the height direction of the support frame.

[0019] Step S24: Install omnidirectional casters at the bottom of the support frame. Each side of the support frame is equipped with four omnidirectional casters, and the four omnidirectional casters on the same side are installed on the same horizontal plane.

[0020] Step S25: Weld and fix the support frames on both sides to the crossbeam to form a complete steel structure beam transport frame.

[0021] In some of these embodiments, the truss structure includes an upper chord, a lower chord, diagonal braces, and vertical members;

[0022] The upper chord is made of rectangular galvanized steel pipe, and the lower chord, diagonal brace and vertical bar are made of galvanized angle steel. All components are fixedly connected by welding.

[0023] In some embodiments, the bottom of the A-frame structure is connected to the casters via a rectangular frame.

[0024] In some embodiments, the rectangular frame is welded from rectangular galvanized steel pipes.

[0025] In some embodiments, the A-frame ladder structure includes a first support and a second support, which are fixedly connected together in an A-shape.

[0026] A horizontal connecting beam is fixed between the first support and the second support along the height direction of the A-frame structure.

[0027] In some of these embodiments, the horizontal connecting beams are evenly distributed along the height of the support frame, and the distance between adjacent horizontal connecting beams is no more than 1.8m.

[0028] In some embodiments, the span of the rectangular steel beam is no greater than 12m.

[0029] In some of these embodiments, the slope of the flat roof is no greater than 5%.

[0030] In some of these embodiments, the horizontality error of the steel structure beam installation in step S43 is ≤ ±2 mm / m.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the above invention has at least one of the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0032] 1) The steel structure beams for flat roofs and light wells are rectangular steel beams, which solves the installation problem of insufficient tower crane coverage in such scenarios, eliminating the need to use large cranes and significantly reducing construction costs.

[0033] 2) The steel beams are transported smoothly by using a customized steel structure beam transport frame with casters. The height can be precisely adjusted by a manual hoist, making operation convenient. Batch operations can be carried out in order from far to near, which significantly shortens the installation cycle.

[0034] 3) Clearly define the horizontality error as ≤ ±2mm / m, ensure that the weld strength meets the specifications and is subject to flaw detection, and ensure that the transport frame structure is reasonably designed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the steel structure beam installation.

[0044] Step S22: Process the crossbeam 1 of the steel structure beam transport frame, and the crossbeam 1 is a truss structure; the truss structure includes an upper chord, a lower chord, diagonal braces and vertical members; the upper chord is made of 100*50*3 Q235 rectangular galvanized steel pipe, and the lower chord, diagonal braces and vertical members are all made of 40*2 Q235 galvanized angle steel, and all components are fixedly connected by welding.

[0045] Step S23: Weld the support frames on both sides. The support frames include an A-frame structure 2. A rectangular frame 3 is fixed to the bottom of the A-frame structure 2.
