Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage tank construction tools, in particular to an adjustable support device for the construction of the wall panels of a storage tank by the reverse installation method. Background Technique
[0002] In the petrochemical smelting industry, the demand for various types of storage tanks is relatively large, and most of them are medium and large storage tanks with a volume exceeding 5000 cubic meters. During the construction process, the reverse installation method is generally used to install the outer cylinder of the storage tank. The construction process of the reverse installation method for large storage tanks is: bottom plate combination - top cover plate combination installation - construction of the first ring of wall panels... construction of the last ring of wall panels. Usually, the first ring of wall panels does not directly contact the bottom plate, and generally a temporary support device with a reserved distance of 400 - 600 mm is provided, which is convenient for personnel to enter and exit the storage tank and can adjust the installation size of the wall panels at the same time.
[0003] At present, two groups of I-beams are generally used to connect and fabricate an "I-shaped stool" support for the temporary support device for the installation of large storage tank wall panels. While the upper plane reference plate of the support is horizontally leveled, positioning plates and limit blocks are set up. After the wall panels are placed and slightly adjusted, the lifting operation can be carried out. However, in actual construction, the following problems often exist:
[0004] 1) The support stability of the "I-shaped stool" is insufficient, and the contact area between the lower plane of the support and the storage tank bottom plate is large. If there are gaps in the mutual contact or the bottom plate is deformed, it is impossible to ensure that the upper plane is at the same elevation in terms of levelness, and the horizontal elevation of the support device cannot be adjusted, resulting in the distortion of the circumferential weld position of the entire ring of wall panels. There are also relatively large hidden dangers during the lifting operation, and the installation quality of the overall cylinder cannot be guaranteed;
[0005] 2) After the "I-shaped stool" support is set in place, its horizontal and vertical dimensions cannot be adjusted. If the center base point of the storage tank is offset or the elevation of this device changes due to the welding deformation of the bottom plate, it is impossible to effectively and flexibly respond to and solve the problem. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and provide an adjustable support device for the construction of the wall panels of a storage tank by the reverse installation method, which has good stability, can adjust the levelness and perpendicularity of the wall panels, ensure that the installation size deviation of the first ring of wall panels of the storage tank meets the requirements of the drawing design, lay a foundation for the next wall panel lifting operation, and ensure that the levelness and perpendicularity of the overall storage tank cylinder meet the requirements.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

A limiting block and a positioning block are provided on the top of the elevating plate, and the distance between the positioning block and the limiting block is adjustable. The limiting block is located inside the storage tank wall panel, and the positioning block is located outside the storage tank wall panel.
[0009] Preferably, the outer shape of the base is frustum-shaped.
[0010] Preferably, a reference plate is provided on the top of the base. The reference plate is located below the elevating plate. A plurality of support screws are provided on the reference plate. At least three nuts are provided on the support screws. Through holes adapted to the support screws are provided on the elevating plate.
[0011] Preferably, a bracket is provided on one side of the limiting block. The limiting block and the bracket are both fixedly connected to the elevating plate. An adjusting screw is provided on the bracket. The adjusting screw horizontally penetrates through the bracket, and the end of the adjusting screw close to the limiting block is connected to the positioning block.
[0012] Preferably, an arc-shaped lining plate is provided between the storage tank wall panel and the limiting block.
[0013] Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the outer wall of the base.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The present utility model adopts a cylindrical support. The lower plane of the base is in a hollow state. The base is placed at the arc of the storage tank wall panel and is firmly spot-welded to the bottom plate of the storage tank. The horizontal elevation can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the elevating plate according to the actual situation on site. A plurality of bases are arranged at the bottom of the storage tank wall panel. By adjusting the heights of the elevating plates on different bases, it can be ensured that the storage tank wall panels are on the same elevation line. The distance between the positioning block and the limiting block is adjustable, which can not only lock the storage tank wall panel but also effectively correct the perpendicularity of the deformed part of the local storage tank wall panel.
[0016] 2. The present utility model has strong applicability. For storage tanks with different diameters and sizes, bases with reasonable adjustable gaps can be selected according to the diameter of the storage tank to determine the positions of the bases on the bottom plate of the storage tank, ensuring that the construction and installation of various storage tank wall panels are satisfied.
[0017] 3. The present utility model has high stability. Only the base contacts the bottom plate of the storage tank. After the reinforcing rib plate of the base is firmly spot-welded and the reference plate is aligned, the storage tank wall panel can be installed.
[0018] 4. The present utility model can reduce high-altitude operations. The bases are evenly distributed around the storage tank. The height of the reserved holes is 400 - 600 mm, which is convenient for construction personnel to enter and exit. It is convenient to carry tools, cable sheaths, etc., reduces high-altitude climbing operations, and eliminates potential safety hazards.
[0019] 5. The economic benefit of the present utility model is high. The present utility model is simple to manufacture, convenient to use, and can be reused. One set of the present utility model is prepared for each storage tank according to the diameter size and used in a cycle, reducing the cost of construction measure materials and significantly improving the economic benefit.
[0020] 6. The construction efficiency of the present utility model is high. Compared with the traditional method of adjusting the installation size of the wall plate by means of auxiliary tools or external force, the present utility model can play its own role, and the construction of the storage tank wall plate can be completed by reducing the external force or auxiliary tools, which can greatly improve the construction efficiency.
