Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of shallow circular silo casting, and in particular to an adjustable shallow circular silo top support base. Background Technology
[0002] Shallow circular silos are common grain storage structures, consisting of annular walls and a conical roof. The walls are constructed using slipform casting technology. After the walls are formed, an umbrella-shaped steel truss is suspended to the top of the walls, connecting with corbels on the inner walls. Finally, formwork is erected on the steel truss for concrete pouring to form the roof. See the invention patent application CN119392917A, which describes a construction process for a conical roof of a large-diameter shallow circular silo. The main body of the steel truss is made using radial beams. When the steel truss is hoisted to the top of the shallow circular silo wall, a support frame is constructed using steel pipes and fasteners to support the formwork. The support frame mainly connects to the radial beams. A portion of the steel pipes used to build the support frame is inclined, called diagonal bracing pipes, to support the formwork between adjacent radial beams and stably transfer the force to the radial beams. Because the radial beams are inclined, they do not provide a good support point. Existing technology can only fix the steel pipes to the radial beams by welding. However, if the diagonal bracing pipes welded to the radial beams have positional or directional errors, they will struggle to provide adequate support and will be unable to complete the formwork erection task. Cutting the connection between the diagonal bracing pipes and the radial beams would not only increase the time required for high-altitude support scaffolding erection and construction risks, but would also potentially create structural defects in the steel truss. There is an urgent need for a technical solution that can assist in the efficient and high-quality completion of support scaffolding erection. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an adjustable shallow circular bin top support base.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: An adjustable shallow circular silo top support base includes a U-shaped buckle plate, a horn-shaped steel bar, and adjusting screws that are fastened to the top of a radial beam; the bottom of the horn-shaped steel bar is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped buckle plate; the ends of the horn-shaped steel bars extend symmetrically to both sides and are inserted into the diagonal bracing tubes; there are two adjusting screws, which are threadedly connected to the two sides of the U-shaped buckle plate respectively; the ends of the two adjusting screws abut against the web of the radial beam; the U-shaped buckle plate is connected to the radial beam through the adjusting screws and to the diagonal bracing tubes through the horn-shaped steel bars; the connection position of the U-shaped buckle plate to the radial beam is adjustable; by loosening the adjusting screws so that they do not abut against the web of the radial beam, the U-shaped buckle plate can move along the axial direction of the radial beam to select a suitable connection position; if the diagonal bracing tubes connected to the horn-shaped steel bars have different inclination directions, the U-shaped buckle plate can be tilted relative to the radial beam before tightening the adjusting screws to change the orientation of the diagonal bracing tubes connected to the horn-shaped steel bars.
[0005] Preferably, the width of the closed end of the U-shaped buckle is comparable to the width of the radial beam; when the U-shaped buckle is fastened to the radial beam, it can achieve better radial restraint.
[0006] Preferably, the horn-shaped steel bar is welded and fixed to the top of the U-shaped buckle plate, and the weld length is greater than or equal to the width of the U-shaped buckle plate; a stable connection is established between the horn-shaped steel bar and the U-shaped buckle plate.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the U-shaped buckle plate is provided with a threaded hole; the adjustable shallow round bin top support base also includes an angle adjustment screw; the angle adjustment screw is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole, and its end abuts against the top of the radiating beam; this allows one edge of the U-shaped buckle plate to abut against the top of the radiating beam, and the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle plate relative to the top of the radiating beam can be adjusted by adjusting the angle adjustment screw.
[0008] Furthermore, there are two angle adjustment screws, located at both ends of the horn-shaped steel bar; the two angle adjustment screws work together to avoid using the edge of the U-shaped buckle to adjust the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle relative to the top of the radial beam, reduce the wear and deformation of the U-shaped buckle, and provide more sufficient support.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustable shallow circular silo top support base also includes a U-shaped closed plate; the closed plate is upside down on the bottom of the radial beam; the two side plates of the closed plate are connected to the two side plates of the U-shaped buckle plate; the closed plate and the U-shaped buckle plate are assembled together to form a sleeve structure that fits on the outside of the radial beam, thereby preventing the U-shaped buckle plate from falling off the radial beam.
[0010] Furthermore, the side of the enclosure panel has a through hole; the adjusting screw passes through the through hole; in this way, the enclosure panel can be detachably connected to the U-shaped buckle plate for easy on-site assembly and use.
[0011] Furthermore, the height of the enclosure plate is less than the cross-sectional height of the radial beam; this reduces the workload of tightening the adjusting screws, reduces the time spent working at height, and improves the overall safety of assembling the support bracket.
[0012] Preferably, the horn-shaped steel bars are inclined towards one end of the U-shaped buckle plate, which can reduce the adjustment of the inclination angle of the U-shaped buckle plate, ensuring stable support for the inclined steel pipe and reducing the assembly time of the support base, thus improving assembly efficiency.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The adjustable shallow circular bin top support base of the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The present invention can reduce the construction difficulty of connecting the inclined support pipe when casting the formwork on the top of the shallow circular silo, ensure the construction quality and improve the construction efficiency; (2) The horn-shaped steel bar of the present invention is inclined to one end of the U-shaped buckle plate, which can reduce the adjustment amount of the inclination angle of the U-shaped buckle plate, ensuring stable support for the inclined steel pipe and reducing the assembly time of the support base, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. (3) The two angle adjustment screws of the present invention cooperate with each other, which can avoid using the edge of the U-shaped buckle to adjust the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle relative to the top of the radial beam, reduce the wear and deformation of the U-shaped buckle, and provide more sufficient support. (4) The closed plate of the present invention is assembled together with the U-shaped buckle to form a sleeve structure that is fitted on the outside of the radial beam, thereby preventing the U-shaped buckle from falling off the radial beam.

[0015] Example 1: See Figure 1-3 An adjustable shallow circular silo top support base includes a U-shaped buckle plate 1, a horn-shaped steel bar 2, and adjusting screws 3 fastened to the top of a radial beam 01; the bottom of the horn-shaped steel bar 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped buckle plate 1; the ends of the horn-shaped steel bar 2 extend symmetrically to both sides and are inserted into the diagonal bracing tube 02; there are two adjusting screws 3, which are threadedly connected to the two sides of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 respectively; the ends of the two adjusting screws 3 abut against the web of the radial beam 01; the U-shaped buckle plate 1 is connected to the radial beam 01 through the adjusting screws 3, and connected to the diagonal bracing tube 02 through the horn-shaped steel bar 2; the connection position of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 to the radial beam 01 is adjustable; by loosening the adjusting screws 3 so that the adjusting screws 3 do not abut against the web of the radial beam 01, the U-shaped buckle plate 1 can move along the axial direction of the radial beam 01 to select a suitable connection position; if the diagonal bracing tube 02 connected to the horn-shaped steel bar 2 has a different inclination direction, the U-shaped buckle plate 1 can be tilted relative to the radial beam 01 before tightening the adjusting screws 3 to change the orientation of the diagonal bracing tube 02 connected to the horn-shaped steel bar 2.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a support base that can adjust the connection position and orientation of the inclined bracing pipe 02, which can reduce the construction difficulty of connecting the inclined bracing pipe 02, ensure construction quality, and improve construction efficiency when casting formwork on the top of a shallow circular silo.
[0017] The width of the closed end of the U-shaped buckle 1 is comparable to the width of the radial beam 01; when the U-shaped buckle 1 is fastened to the radial beam 01, it can achieve better radial restraint.
[0018] The horn-shaped steel bar 2 is welded and fixed to the top of the U-shaped buckle plate 1, and the weld length is greater than or equal to the width of the U-shaped buckle plate 1; a stable connection is established between the horn-shaped steel bar 2 and the U-shaped buckle plate 1.
[0019] The top of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 is provided with a threaded hole; the adjustable shallow round bin top support base also includes an angle adjustment screw 4; the angle adjustment screw 4 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole, and its end abuts against the top of the radial beam 01; in this way, one edge of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 abuts against the top of the radial beam 01, and the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 relative to the top of the radial beam 01 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle adjustment screw 4.
[0020] The angled steel bar 2 is inclined towards one end of the U-shaped buckle plate 1, which can reduce the adjustment of the inclination angle of the U-shaped buckle plate 1, ensuring stable support for the inclined steel pipe and reducing the assembly time of the support base, thus improving assembly efficiency.
[0021] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Loosen the adjusting screw 3 so that it does not abut against the web of the radial beam 01, allowing the U-shaped buckle plate 1 to move axially along the radial beam 01 to select a suitable connection position. If the inclined support pipe 02 connected to the angled steel bar 2 has a different inclination direction, the U-shaped buckle plate 1 can be tilted relative to the radial beam 01 before tightening the adjusting screw 3, changing the orientation of the inclined support pipe 02 connected to the angled steel bar 2. One edge of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 abuts against the top of the radial beam 01, and the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle plate 1 relative to the top of the radial beam 01 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle adjusting screw 4. The angled steel bar 2 is tilted towards one end of the U-shaped buckle plate 1, which reduces the adjustment amount of the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle plate 1, ensuring stable support for the inclined steel pipe and reducing the assembly time of the support base, thus improving assembly efficiency.
[0022] Example 2: Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that there are two angle adjustment screws 3, which are set at both ends of the horn-shaped steel bar 2. The two angle adjustment screws 3 cooperate with each other to avoid using the edge of the U-shaped buckle 1 to adjust the tilt angle of the U-shaped buckle 1 relative to the top of the radial beam 01, reduce the wear and deformation of the U-shaped buckle 1, and provide more sufficient support.
[0023] The angle adjustment screw 3 is symmetrically arranged about the horn-shaped steel bar 2 to facilitate more precise adjustment of the U-shaped buckle plate 1.
[0024] Example 3: Example 3 is basically the same as Example 2, and the similarities will not be repeated. The difference is that the adjustable shallow circular bin top support base also includes a U-shaped closed plate 5; the closed plate 5 is upside down on the bottom of the radial beam 01; the two side plates of the closed plate 5 are connected to the two side plates of the U-shaped buckle plate 1; the closed plate 5 and the U-shaped buckle plate 1 are assembled together to form a sleeve structure that fits on the outside of the radial beam 01, thereby preventing the U-shaped buckle plate 1 from falling off the radial beam 01.
[0025] The side of the sealing plate 5 is provided with a through hole; the adjusting screw 3 passes through the through hole; in this way, the sealing plate 5 can be detachably connected to the U-shaped buckle plate 1, so as to facilitate on-site assembly and use.
[0026] The height of the closed plate 5 is less than the cross-sectional height of the radial beam 01; this reduces the workload of tightening the adjusting screw 3, reduces the time spent working at height, and improves the overall safety of assembling the support bracket.
