[0006] The three main installation methods for the wall panels of large LNG storage tanks are: upright installation and inverted installation. Regardless of the installation method, the tank wall panels need to be spliced, and the auxiliary devices used need to be welded and fixed on the mother plate of the tank wall panels. This welding and fixing operation will produce weld marks on the tank wall panels, which will then damage the tank wall panels, thereby seriously damaging the overall strength, rigidity and stability of the tank.

[0007] Therefore, how to avoid damage to the LNG storage tank wall plate caused by the welding of auxiliary tools when installing the LNG storage tank using auxiliary tools for welding and fixing has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.

[0010] A diagonal brace is fixedly connected to the fixed end of each electric telescopic device, and a ground anchor is fixedly connected to one end of the diagonal brace away from the electric telescopic device;

[0011] A transverse support mechanism is respectively installed on the outside of the telescopic end of each electric telescopic device, and the transverse support mechanism includes a telescopic transverse support rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to a detachable clamp, and the clamp is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic device, and the other end of the transverse support rod is fixedly connected to an electromagnet with a wheel;

When all the electric telescopic devices at the bottom of an operating platform are raised and lowered at the same time, the electromagnet can move up and down following the raising and lowering of the electric telescopic devices.

[0013] Preferably, adjacent diagonal braces are fixedly connected via diagonal braces.

[0014] Preferably, the fixed end of the electric telescopic device is fixedly connected to the counterweight block by bolts.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0016] Due to the above structural design, when the electric telescopic device drives the operating platform to rise and fall, the electromagnet can be adsorbed on the tank wall plate for rising and falling movement, providing stable support for the lifting of the operating platform, and there is no need to weld to the tank wall plate, further avoiding welding mark damage to the tank wall plate, thereby ensuring the overall strength of the LNG storage tank.
