Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an equipment installation platform, and more particularly to a side-mounted equipment installation platform. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction and equipment installation of offshore oil platforms, insufficient space around the main platform structure (modules) is often encountered, preventing some equipment from being installed in their designated positions via conventional hoisting and relocation methods after the platform deck has been positioned. A common solution is to pre-design installation points on the outside of the platform module or temporarily construct a side-mounted platform as a transitional support and installation work surface before equipment hoisting. However, temporarily installing such platforms on the side of existing platform modules presents challenges. Traditional welding fixing methods can damage the anti-corrosion coating and integrity of the main platform structure, and subsequent dismantling is difficult and carries high operational risks. Using pure rope binding or bracket support often fails to guarantee stability and load-bearing capacity, making them prone to displacement under wind and wave loads or equipment hoisting impacts, posing a threat to the safety of personnel and equipment working at height.

[0003] Therefore, side-mounted equipment installation platforms may encounter problems such as slow installation speed, difficulty in adjustment, insufficient stability, and damage to the module structure due to rigid contact during side-mounted equipment installation operations on offshore platform modules. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a side-mounted equipment installation platform to solve the problems raised in related technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a side-mounted equipment installation platform is provided, comprising a module, the module comprising two shelves, a plurality of columns fixedly connected between the shelves, and an installation plate disposed on the ground, the installation plate being fixedly provided with a plurality of lifting points, the bottom of the installation plate being symmetrically hinged with diagonal braces, the diagonal braces being adjustable in length, the lower end of the diagonal braces being rotatably provided with fixing components, the fixing components comprising at least suction cups vacuum-adhered to the flange sidewalls of the shelves, and chain hoists being symmetrically fixedly provided at the bottom of the installation plate, one end of the chain hoists being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the diagonal braces.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting points include several lifting points and fixed lifting points. Shackles are fixedly installed on the lifting points, and hooks are fixedly connected to the fixed lifting points, with a chain fixedly connected to one end of the hooks.

[0007] Furthermore, symmetrically fixed connecting points are provided on the upper shelf, and the other end of the iron chain is fixedly connected to the connecting points.

[0008] Furthermore, the diagonal brace includes a fixed rod rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate, a movable rod slidably mounted on the lower end of one end of the fixed rod, and a plurality of positioning holes are through the movable rod. A through hole is through the lower end of the fixed rod, and a pin is threaded into the through hole. The through hole is the same size as the positioning holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes a fixing block fixedly disposed on the side wall of the suction cup, a connecting block slidably disposed on one side of the fixing block, and a limit block fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is provided on one side of the connecting block, the limiting block is slidably disposed in the groove, and the connecting block is T-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting block has a rotating shaft symmetrically fixedly connected to its sidewall, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft has a number of limiting protrusions fixedly connected in a ring array.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the movable rod is fixedly connected to an installation block, a slot is provided on one side of the installation block, one end of the connecting block is rotatably disposed in the slot, the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on both sides of the slot, and a number of slots are provided in a circular array inside the installation block, and the limiting protrusion is engaged in the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the suction cup is symmetrically fixed with limiting plates on its top, and a wooden pad is inserted between the two limiting plates, with the height of the wooden pad being equal to the length from the top surface of the suction cup to the flange of the shelf.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting chain is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable rod, and mounting points are symmetrically fixedly arranged on the lower shelf, with the other end of the connecting chain fixedly connected to the mounting points.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this side-mounted equipment installation platform, the fixing components, which combine adjustable-length diagonal braces and vacuum suction cups, can adapt to the changes in the spacing between different shelves in the platform module. They are firmly attached to the sidewalls of the shelf flanges through vacuum adsorption, eliminating the need for welding or drilling and completely avoiding damage to the main structure of the platform. Combined with multiple auxiliary fixings such as iron chains, connecting chains, and lifting points, a stable and reliable support system is formed, which can effectively withstand lateral loads and provide a safe working platform for equipment installation.

[0016] 2. In this side-mounted equipment installation platform, the suction cup in the fixing component can be adjusted at multiple angles and has sliding margin, which can fit well with the surface of the shelf flange, ensuring stable adsorption and improving the versatility and flexibility of installation; the addition of wooden blocks further enhances local stability, enabling the platform to flexibly adapt to different on-site installation environments, greatly improving installation efficiency and first-time success rate.

[0019] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0020] This embodiment provides a side-mounted equipment installation platform, including a module 1. The module 1 includes two shelves 11, and several columns 12 are fixedly connected between the shelves 11. It also includes an installation plate 2 set on the ground. Several lifting points are fixedly set on the installation plate 2. In order to realize the suspension and support of the installation plate 2 on the side of the module 1, the bottom of the installation plate 2 is symmetrically hinged with diagonal braces 3. The upper end of the diagonal brace 3 is connected to the bottom of the installation plate 2 through a hinge mechanism, so that it can rotate relative to the bottom. The length of the diagonal brace 3 is adjustable. The lower end of the diagonal brace 3 is rotatably set with a fixing component 7. The fixing component 7 includes at least a suction cup 71 that is vacuum-adsorbed onto the flange sidewall of the shelf 11. The bottom of the installation plate 2 is symmetrically fixed with chain hoists 6, and one end of the chain hoists 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the diagonal brace 3.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting points include several lifting points 21 and fixed lifting points 22. Shackles are fixedly installed on the lifting points 21, and lifting slings are installed on the shackles. A crane is used to lift the mounting plate 2 to a suitable position outside the module 1, and the upper surface of the mounting plate 2 is on the same plane as the upper surface of the module 1. A hook 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed lifting point 22, and a chain 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the hook 4.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, symmetrical hanging points 13 are fixedly arranged on the upper shelf 11, and the other end of the iron chain 5 is fixedly connected to the hanging points 13 for initial fixation.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the diagonal brace 3 includes a fixed rod 31 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the mounting plate 2. A movable rod 32 is slidably mounted at the lower end of one end of the fixed rod 31, and several positioning holes 33 are formed through the movable rod 32 along its length. A through hole is formed at the lower end of the fixed rod 31, and a pin 34 is threaded into the through hole. The through hole and the positioning holes 33 are the same size. Therefore, before hoisting the mounting plate 2, the position of the movable rod 32 at the lower end of the fixed rod 31 needs to be adjusted so that the positioning holes 33 and the through holes are aligned at appropriate positions, and then fixed with the pin 34. Subsequently, the diagonal brace 3 is pre-hung at the bottom of the mounting plate 2 by the chain hoist 6. It is worth noting that one end of the chain hoist 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable rod 32. After hoisting the mounting plate 2 to the designated position, the chain hoist 6 is adjusted to slowly lower the diagonal brace 3 to the appropriate position.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fixing component 7 also includes a fixing block 72 fixedly disposed on the side wall of the suction cup 71. A connecting block 73 is slidably disposed on one side of the fixing block 72. A limiting block 721 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 72. A sliding groove 731 is opened on one side of the connecting block 73. The limiting block 721 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 731, so that the suction cup 71 has a certain floating margin to ensure good adhesion with the flange surface of the shelf 11. The connecting block 73 is T-shaped, which effectively prevents the connecting block 73 from detaching from the sliding groove 731.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting block 73 has a rotating shaft 732 symmetrically fixedly connected to its side wall. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 732 has a number of limiting protrusions 733 fixedly connected in a ring array. The limiting protrusions 733 are made of silicone material and can be deformed to a certain extent.

[0026] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the movable rod 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 35. A slot is opened on one side of the mounting block 35. One end of the connecting block 73 is rotatably disposed in the slot. The rotating shaft 732 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the slot. Rotating grooves communicating with the slot are opened on both sides of the slot. The rotating shaft 732 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove. Several slots are opened in a circular array inside the mounting block 35. The slots are communicating with the rotating grooves. The limiting protrusion 733 is engaged and disposed in the slot.

[0027] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the diagonal brace 3 is below, the rotating connecting block 73 makes the fixing component 7 parallel to the shelf 11, ensuring that the suction cup 71 is firmly adsorbed and further fixed. During the rotation of the connecting block 73, the rotating shaft 732 rotates accordingly, and the limiting protrusion 733 is disengaged from the slot in the initial position and deformed by the side wall of the rotating groove until the rotating shaft 732 rotates until the limiting protrusion 733 is aligned with the next slot, thereby realizing the segmented adjustment and locking of the connection angle. The sliding setting of the fixing block 72 on one side of the connecting block 73 ensures that the suction cup 71 can contact the flange side wall of the shelf 11.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the suction cup 71 is symmetrically fixed with limiting plates 74 on its top, and a wooden pad 8 is inserted between the two limiting plates 74. The height of the wooden pad 8 is equal to the length from the top surface of the suction cup 71 to the flange of the shelf 11.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, a connecting chain 9 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable rod 32. Installation lifting points are symmetrically fixed on the lower shelf 11. The other end of the connecting chain 9 is fixedly connected to the installation lifting points to further fix the position of the diagonal brace 3 and ensure the connection stability between the mounting plate 2 and the block 1.

[0030] In practical use, the mounting plate 2 is placed on the ground. Based on the interlayer height of the shelf 11, the position of the movable rod 32 at the lower end of the fixed rod 31 is adjusted by sliding, aligning the positioning hole 33 at a suitable position with the through hole at the lower end of the fixed rod 31, and then fixing it with a pin 34, thereby adjusting the diagonal brace 3 to a suitable length. The diagonal brace 3 is pre-hung on the bottom of the mounting plate 2 using a chain hoist 6. Shackles are fixedly installed on the lifting point 21, and the necessary lifting slings are installed. A crane is used to lift the mounting plate 2 to a suitable position outside the assembly 1, ensuring that the upper surface of the mounting plate 2 and the upper surface of the assembly 1 are on the same plane. The chain hoist 6 is adjusted to slowly lower the diagonal brace 3 to a suitable position. One end of the chain 5 is fixedly connected to the hook 4 on the fixed lifting point 22, and the other end of the chain 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting lifting point 13 on the upper shelf 11 for initial fixing. Then, the connecting block 73 is rotated to adjust the rotation angle of the fixing component 7, so that the suction cup 71 is parallel to the flange sidewall of the shelf 11. During the rotation, the rotating shaft 732 rotates accordingly, and the limiting protrusion 733 disengages from the slot in the initial position and is deformed by the pressure of the rotating slot sidewall until the rotating shaft 732 rotates until the limiting protrusion 733 is aligned with the next slot, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotation angle of the connecting block 73. This ensures that the suction cup 71 is firmly attached to the flange sidewall of the shelf 11, achieving further fixation. At the same time, the sliding setting of the fixing block 72 on one side of the connecting block 73 ensures that the suction cup 71 can fully contact the flange sidewall of the shelf 11. A wooden pad 8 is inserted between the two limiting plates 74 to enhance the fixing effect. Finally, one end of the connecting chain 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting point, thereby fixing the mounting plate 2 to one side of the assembly 1.
