[0025] During the continuous pouring of grain silo walls, a circular operating platform is often required on the slipform for personnel work, equipment placement, and concrete vibration. Existing circular operating platforms are mostly combinations of fixed-size trusses and platforms, which have the following main drawbacks: the platform radius is fixed, making it unsuitable for grain silos of different diameters or for construction of sections with varying wall diameters, resulting in poor versatility.
[0026] In order to address the above-mentioned deficiencies, this application provides a ring-shaped operating platform (hereinafter referred to as "ring-shaped operating platform") for slipform construction of grain silos, which is mainly used in slipform construction operations of grain silos.
[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The circular operating platform mainly includes a circular main frame 1, which is arranged on the grain silo slipform. Several telescopic beams are evenly distributed around the circumference, and several fan-shaped footboards are laid on the telescopic beams. In use, all telescopic beams can be extended or shortened simultaneously to adapt to the construction of grain silos of different diameters and variable-diameter sections of the silo wall, thus enhancing its versatility.
[0028] In some embodiments, the annular main frame 1 is composed of multiple arc-shaped main beams 2 spliced together, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0030] In some embodiments, each segment of the arc-shaped main beam 2 is provided with a sliding formwork connecting seat 10 below it. The sliding formwork connecting seat 10 can be connected to the lifting frame column of the grain silo sliding formwork and can rise and fall synchronously with the sliding formwork.
[0031] Specifically, the sliding formwork connecting seat 10 and the lifting frame column can be locked by plug-in bolts or by flange bolts.
[0032] Furthermore, the sliding mold connecting seat 10 can also be configured as a height-adjustable structure, which can achieve fine adjustment of the platform's level.
[0033] In some embodiments, the telescopic beam includes a telescopic guide sleeve 3 and a movable rod 5. The telescopic guide sleeve 3 and the movable rod 5 are inserted into each other. One end of the telescopic guide sleeve 3 is fixed on the annular main frame 1, and the movable rod 5 can be inserted into the telescopic guide sleeve 3 to telescopically move.
[0034] In some specific field implementation methods, both the telescopic guide sleeve 3 and the movable rod 5 can be made of rectangular steel pipes. The two are different in size and can be plugged into each other.
[0035] Furthermore, multiple positioning holes 4 are provided on both the telescopic guide sleeve 3 and the movable rod 5, and the telescopic guide sleeve 3 and the movable rod 5 are fixed together by a positioning locking pin 6.

[0037] In some specific on-site implementation methods, the inner and outer pedals are fan-shaped, and the inner and outer pedals can be connected by a snap-fit mechanism, while adjacent outer pedals can be locked by an interlocking mechanism.
[0038] In some embodiments, a slip plate 7 is provided on the pedal, and the slip plate 7 is fan-shaped (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, all fan shapes mentioned in this application refer to fan-shaped annular shapes. A foot guard 8 is provided between the edge of the anti-slip plate 7 and the annular main frame 1.
[0039] In some specific on-site implementation methods, the anti-slip plate 7 is made of patterned steel plate with weight-reducing ventilation holes on the plate surface.
[0040] In some embodiments, the ring-shaped operating platform further includes a guardrail 9, which is arranged around the outer ring of several telescopic beams.
[0041] Furthermore, a safety net is provided at the bottom of the guardrail 9. Preferably, the height of the guardrail 9 is not less than 1.2m, and a portable assembly guardrail can be adopted, which is a quick-assembly and disassembly structure.
[0042] The workflow of the ring-shaped operating platform for slipform construction of grain silos provided in the above preferred embodiment is as follows: S1. Assembly: Adjust the extension length of the telescopic beam according to the diameter of the grain silo and lock it; splice several arc-shaped main beams 2 to form a ring main frame 1, and fix it to the lifting frame through the sliding mold connecting seat 10.
