Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of installation of large storage tanks, and in particular relates to a support frame for inverted installation of large storage tanks. Background Art

[0002] Large storage tanks refer to vertical tanks used for storing oil or gas in the petrochemical industry. The capacity of large storage tanks is usually more than 100 cubic meters, and they are installed on site using stainless steel plates, stainless steel brackets, etc. The inverted installation method for large storage tanks is a relatively mature construction method, that is, lifting with a hand winch or hydraulic device, and assembling layer by layer from top to bottom.

[0003] The following steps are usually used to install large storage tanks:

[0004] The first step is to install the tank bottom plate, fix the support base on the bottom plate, place the side plate vertically on the support base, and bend it toward the center of the bottom plate.

[0005] The second step is to weld multiple side panels end to end in sequence to form a cylindrical ring plate, then install the expansion ring on the inner wall of the ring plate through a door-shaped clamp so that the expansion ring and the ring plate are arranged concentrically, which can keep the shape of the ring plate unchanged during the lifting process, and then install the top cover on the ring plate.

[0006] In the third step, the expansion ring is connected to the hydraulic jacking device through a chain. A sprocket is installed on the piston rod of the hydraulic jacking device. Through the cooperation of the hydraulic jacking device, chain and sprocket, the ring plate and the top cover are lifted to a certain height h, where h is greater than the height of the side plate, and then the lower ring plate is placed, assembled and welded.

[0007] The fourth step is to place the side panels vertically on the support seat and bend them toward the center of the bottom plate; through the cooperation of the hydraulic jacking device, chain and sprocket, lower the welded ring plate and top cover, and weld the upper and lower adjacent ring plates together.

[0008] The fifth step is to remove the expansion ring and install it on the inner wall of the ring plate to be lifted through the door-shaped card so that the two are arranged concentrically. Then, through the cooperation of the hydraulic jacking device, chain and sprocket, the welded ring plate and top cover are lifted to a certain height h, where h is greater than the height of the side plate.

[0009] Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the last layer of ring plate is connected to the adjacent upper layer of ring plate by welding, and then lower the welded ring plate and top cover by the cooperation of hydraulic jacking device, chain and sprocket, and weld the lower end of the last layer of ring plate to the bottom plate.

[0010] Since the expansion ring and the ring plate are fixed by the door-shaped clamp, the door-shaped clamp is welded to the inner wall of the ring plate. In the process of lifting or lowering the welded ring plate and the top cover, the force on the door-shaped clamp and the ring plate increases with each additional layer of ring plate, and the connection stability between the door-shaped clamp and the inner wall of the ring plate needs to be ensured. The door-shaped clamp and the inner wall of the ring plate are usually welded together by full welding, which has high requirements for the welding effect. If the welding is not in place, it is easy to cause safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, a diagonal brace is provided on the side of the support column opposite to the support roller, and the upper end of the diagonal brace is connected to the support column;

[0014] Two diagonal braces are provided, and the two diagonal braces take the axis of the supporting column as the symmetry axis to form an axisymmetric structure.
