Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a transportation tool for steel shell tray units, belonging to the field of steel structure manufacturing. Background Art
[0002] The manufacturing and transportation of the main tower steel shell segments do face many challenges, which mainly stem from the specific nature of the inner wall panel units and the technical limitations in the processing. Due to their thin characteristics (the thickness is generally 10 - 18 mm), the inner wall panel units are extremely prone to deformation during manufacturing and transportation, which poses a significant threat to the structural integrity and appearance quality of the entire steel shell tower. The following are some drawbacks of the existing technologies and their specific impacts on the project implementation:
[0003] Complexity of deformation control: The thin inner wall panel units are extremely prone to deformation under the influence of external forces during welding, processing, and transportation. This kind of deformation is not only difficult to correct afterwards, but may also pose obstacles to the precise assembly of the structure, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent construction.
[0004] Limitations of connection processes: Although the traditional corner connection method provides a certain structural strength, it may not be sufficient to resist all types of mechanical stresses, especially at the joints of multiple wall panels, and these areas often become potential weak points.
[0005] Protection problems during transportation: During transportation, the inner wall panel units are easily damaged, such as scratched, dented, or more severely deformed. This not only affects the aesthetics of the steel shell tower, but may also weaken its structural strength.
[0006] Increase in manufacturing costs: In order to ensure the manufacturing precision of the inner wall panel units, it is usually necessary to adopt precision processing equipment and complex process flows, which directly leads to an increase in manufacturing costs.
[0007] In summary, there are many drawbacks in the existing technologies when dealing with the inner wall panel units of the main tower steel shell segments. These drawbacks not only affect the quality and appearance of the steel shell tower, but also increase the complexity, cost, and risk of the project. Content of the Utility Model

[0046] The present utility model provides an adjustable, stable and safe transportation tooling for steel shell tower plate units to ensure the structural integrity and dimensional accuracy of the plate units during manufacturing and transportation.

The specific steps are as follows: According to the specifications of the new plate unit, move the side base plate 23 on the bottom plate 12. When the side diagonal rod 22 is perfectly closely attached to the inner cavity contour of the plate unit, use bolts to connect the side base plate 2 to the bottom plate 12, and at the same time use bolts to connect the middle cross beam and the side cross beam together to complete the adjustment of the tooling.
