Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air separation equipment shells, in particular to the technical field of supporting cold boxes. Background Art

[0002] Cold boxes are widely used in the field of air separation equipment as the insulation shell and supporting structure of air separation equipment. They have a large aspect ratio (up to 17m) and a large height (up to 73m). This type of steel structure requires greater lateral stiffness and generally adopts a steel frame-center support structure.

[0003] The structure requires the installation of columns, beams, and supporting components on site as the main load-bearing components; panels are also installed as sealing components. The columns, beams, and supporting components used in the steel frame-center support cold box structure all need to be installed in the factory or on site. In order to achieve effective connection of the three types of components, more connecting plates are required, more welding or bolts are used, and the amount of steel used and the installation workload are relatively large. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art and to provide a corrugated steel plate cold box which can solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model proposes a corrugated steel plate cold box, including frame columns, connecting beams and corrugated panels. Adjacent frame columns are connected by connecting beams, corrugated panels are fixed to the outside of the connecting beams, both ends of the corrugated panels are sealed and connected to the frame columns, and the corrugated panels and the frame columns enclose a box space.

[0006] Preferably, the corrugated panel comprises crests and troughs that are alternately arranged in sequence, and the cross-sections of the crests and troughs are both isosceles trapezoids.

[0007] Preferably, the height of the isosceles trapezoid is 30-100 mm, the length of the base is 40-50 times the wall thickness, and the inclination angle of the trapezoid hypotenuse is 45-60°.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting beam is an H-shaped steel.

[0009] Preferably, the frame columns are hollow square tubes.

[0010] Preferably, the frame columns are seal-welded to the corrugated panels.

[0011] Preferably, the corrugated panel does not protrude from the surface of the connecting beam.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model adopts corrugated steel plates to replace the connecting beams and steel supports in the original cold box. The corrugated steel plates are sealed and also serve as structural supports, which can greatly increase the buckling load of the steel plates. The regularized corrugations are conducive to manufacturing and processing, and reduce the amount of steel and the installation workload. The corrugated steel plates can be equivalent to the cross-arranged connecting beams and steel supports. According to the test results, the corrugated steel plates can have higher out-of-plane stiffness and buckling strength without using stiffening ribs. When the stiffness is similar, the amount of steel used is about 30% less than that of welded H-shaped steel.

[0013] The features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
