[0016] The present application will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] In the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this application, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This application provides an embodiment of a top crossbeam installation method. The top crossbeam 1 includes a middle section 101 and connecting sections 102 disposed at both ends of the middle section 101 for connecting a frame. Each connecting section 102 has a walkway connector 103 on both sides for connecting a walkway 6. The middle section 101, connecting sections 102, and connectors are integrally formed. The connecting section 102 defines a first connecting hole 1021, and the walkway connector 103 defines a second connecting hole 1031. The frame includes at least two symmetrically arranged top connecting longitudinal beams 2, each connected to a top crossbeam connector 3. The installation method includes the following steps: Insert the first fastener 4 into the first connecting hole 1021, and connect the connecting section 102 to the corresponding top beam connector 3 by tightening the first fastener 4.

[0019] The connecting section 102 and the walkway connector 103 can support the walkway 6. During installation, there is no need to weld the transverse mounting parts or grind the weld seams. The connecting section 102 is directly connected to the top beam connector 3, which can significantly simplify the installation steps, improve installation efficiency, and reduce the risk of deformation and extend the service life of the top beam 1 because there is no need to weld the transverse mounting parts.

[0020] like Figures 1-4As shown, the installation method further includes the following steps: after fixing the top beam 1, insert the second fastener 5 into one end of the walkway 6. The second fastener 5 extends into the corresponding second connecting hole 1031. By tightening the second fastener 5, the walkway 6 is connected to the corresponding walkway connector 103. The prior art requires setting L-shaped plates on both sides of the top beam 1 to install the walkway 6. However, the top beam 1 of this application comes with the walkway connector 103, eliminating the need for additional welding of L-shaped plates, reducing welding points, and further simplifying the steps. After the walkway 6 is connected to the walkway connector 103, the support stability is good.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the frame includes end frames 7 respectively disposed at both ends of the top connecting longitudinal beam 2. The upper part of the end frame 7 is provided with a first upper connector 8, and the top connecting longitudinal beam 2 is provided with a second upper connector 9. The installation method further includes the following steps: after connecting the walkway 6 to the walkway connector 103, the walkway 6 is connected to the first upper connector 8 and the second upper connector 9, so that the walkway 6 can be fixed. The remaining walkways 6 and the top crossbeam 1 are operated in the same manner until all the top crossbeams 1 and walkways 6 are installed.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom side of the intermediate section 101 is provided with a clearance groove 1011. The clearance groove 1011 can avoid the tank body and prevent the top crossbeam 1 from interfering with the tank body. The clearance groove 1011 eliminates the need to raise the top crossbeam 1 through the transverse mounting parts, and facilitates the subsequent increase of the height of the top crossbeam 1, thereby strengthening the strength of the top crossbeam 1.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the connecting section 102 has a square tube structure. The first connecting hole 1021 is provided on the bottom wall of the connecting section 102. The square tube structure of the connecting section 102 is simple, lightweight and high in strength. The first fastener 4 is hidden inside the connecting section 102 and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the walkway connector 103 is a connecting plate. In the prior art, L-shaped plates are set on both sides of the top crossbeam 1 to install the walkway 6. The L-shaped plates are easy to deform, while the connecting plate has good installation stability.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the second connecting hole 1031 is an oblong hole, which is easy to adjust and has good installation flexibility.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the top crossbeam 1 is made of fiber plastic. Specifically, the top crossbeam 1 is made of fiberglass, which is easy to form as a whole. Since the top crossbeam 1 is formed as a whole, there is no need to weld horizontal mounting parts, grind, or paint, which further simplifies the installation steps.

[0027] likeFigures 1-4 As shown, the maximum height of the top crossbeam 1 is 50-150mm. The height of the top crossbeam 1 in the prior art is generally no more than 30mm, and the overall strength is low. When workers carry equipment to work on the walkway 6, the top crossbeam 1 is easy to deform. The top crossbeam 1 of this application has high strength and is not easily deformed.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the first fastener 4 and the second fastener 5 are a nut, a bolt, and a washer.

[0029] Any numerical values ​​cited herein include all values ​​ranging from a lower limit to an upper limit, increasing by one unit, with at least two units between any lower and any higher value. For example, if the quantity of a component or the value of a process variable (e.g., temperature, pressure, time, etc.) is described as being from 1 to 90, preferably from 20 to 80, more preferably from 30 to 70, the purpose is to illustrate that values ​​such as 15 to 85, 22 to 68, 43 to 51, 30 to 32 are also explicitly listed in this specification. For values ​​less than 1, a unit is appropriately considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, etc. These are merely examples intended for explicit expression, and it can be assumed that all possible combinations of values ​​listed between the minimum and maximum values ​​are explicitly described in this specification in a similar manner.

[0030] Unless otherwise stated, all ranges include the endpoints and all numbers between them. The terms "approximately" or "about" used with ranges apply to both endpoints of the range. Thus, "approximately 20 to 30" is intended to cover "approximately 20 to approximately 30," including at least the specified endpoints.
