Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building steel structure engineering technology, and in particular relates to an operating platform for extending steel structure columns at high altitudes. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering practice, due to limitations of site conditions, selection of machinery and equipment, and cost considerations, the steel columns in steel structure workshops are often fabricated and installed in sections during design modifications. The traditional method involves erecting steel pipe scaffolding at the column joints, laying wooden planks on the scaffolding, and then welding the column joints. This method poses significant safety hazards during both scaffolding erection and column joint welding. Furthermore, the scaffolding erection process delays the construction schedule, requiring repeated scaffolding erection. This construction method no longer meets the overall design and construction requirements and introduces potential quality issues for the entire project, necessitating urgent improvement.

The platform base frame features an opening in the center forming a U-shaped structure, the size of which matches the outer contour of the steel structure column's cross-section. The platform base frame includes a main supporting beam and secondary platform beams, which are welded together to form a U-shaped frame. Multiple secondary platform beams are fixedly connected within the U-shaped frame by gratings. Two main supporting beams are fixedly connected parallel to each other below the U-shaped frame, with each main supporting beam positioned outside the opening. A knife-handle-shaped bracket plate, matching the main supporting beams, is welded to the outside of the steel structure column at the height extension section.

[0006] The supporting main beams are made of channel steel, angle steel, I-beams or H-beams, and tie rods are provided between the two supporting main beams.

[0007] The platform's bottom secondary beam is made of steel pipe, angle steel, or channel steel.

[0008] The width of the inner groove of the knife handle-shaped bracket plate matches the width of the supporting main beam, and the knife handle-shaped bracket plate is provided with a locking hole.

[0009] The wire mesh plank has a movable section for people to go up and down.

[0010] The steel structure column is equipped with a steel rope ladder for people to go up and down.

[0011] The size of the keyhole is matched with the wire rope lock.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1) By adopting an integrated modular platform structure, the operation of extending steel structure columns at high altitudes can be completed without the need for scaffolding.

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of this utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific embodiments used in the description of the specific embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the specific embodiments described below are some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other specific embodiments can be obtained based on these specific embodiments without creative effort.

[0022] The components of the present invention described and shown in the specific embodiments herein can be arranged and designed in numerous different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the specific embodiments is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but only to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.

[0023] See Figure 1-4 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the operating platform for extending a high-altitude steel structure column according to this utility model. It includes a platform base frame, columns (Φ48 steel pipes), and a fence. The fence consists of 10 railing columns made of Φ48 steel pipes and 11 railings made of Φ12 round steel, covered with a green safety mesh net. A wire mesh plank 5 is provided on the platform base frame. An opening 6 forms a U-shaped structure in the middle of the platform base frame, the size of which matches the outer contour of the cross-section of the steel structure column 7. The platform base frame includes a main supporting beam 2 and secondary platform beams 4. The secondary platform beams 4 are welded into a U-shaped frame. Multiple secondary platform beams 4 are fixedly connected within the U-shaped frame by gratings. Two main supporting beams 2 are fixedly connected parallel to each other under the U-shaped frame, and the two main supporting beams 2 are respectively located outside the opening. A knife-handle-shaped bracket plate 1, which is used to fix the main supporting beams 2, is welded to the outside of the steel structure column at the high-altitude extension section 12. The operating platform is hoisted into place along with the steel structure column. Personnel can only enter after the bottom of the steel structure column is aligned and fixed. After unhooking, the platform can be used when connecting the column. When using the platform, be sure to hang the safety belt on the railing 11.

[0024] The main support beam 2 is made of [10 channel steel, and a 16mm round steel tie rod 3 is installed between the two main support beams. The platform bottom secondary beam 4 is made of Φ48mm steel pipe. The inner groove width of the knife handle-shaped bracket plate 1 matches the width of the main support beam 2, and the knife handle-shaped bracket plate 1 has a locking hole, the size of which matches the steel wire rope lock 14. After the platform is installed, the main support beam 2 is locked with a 10mm diameter steel wire rope lock 14 to prevent the platform from accidentally shaking or tipping over.

[0025] The wire mesh plank 5 has a movable platform 8 for people to go up and down. The interior of the extended steel structure at height is equipped with a steel rope ladder 9 for people to go up and down.

[0026] The manufacturing process of this utility model platform is as follows:

[0027] A steel structure column high-altitude welding operation platform is fabricated at a steel component manufacturing plant according to the required dimensions; the platform bottom secondary beam 4 is welded and fixed to the supporting main beam 2, and the platform bottom frame is formed by welding the platform bottom secondary beam 4 around its perimeter; railing posts 10 and railings 11 are welded to the four side beams 4 of the bottom frame; the wire mesh plank 5 is fixed to the platform bottom secondary beam 4, and to further improve safety, a 100mm high kickboard 13 can also be welded around the wire mesh plank 5.

[0028] The steps for platform hoisting, positioning, and dismantling during use are as follows:

[0029] (1) The operating platform should be installed on the steel structure column on the ground before the steel structure column is hoisted. At the same time as it is made in the factory, the knife handle type bracket plate 1 should be welded to a suitable position near the high-altitude extension part 12 of the steel structure column for easy operation.

[0030] (2) The prepared operating platform is hoisted onto the knife handle-shaped bracket plate 1 that has been pre-welded onto the steel structure column. The main support beam 2 is exactly in the notch groove of the knife handle-shaped bracket plate 1. Then, the knife handle-shaped bracket plate 1 and the main support beam 2 are locked together with 10mm steel wire rope lock 14.

[0031] (3) The main beam 2 is supported by tie rods 3 passing through the steel structure column and tightening them to clamp the steel structure column a. Then, the secondary beams 4 at the bottom of the two platforms and the railings are connected and fixed firmly with bolts.

[0032] (4) When dismantling, first remove the wire rope lock 14 on the knife handle type bracket plate 1, then use a boom lift truck and a crane to hook the operating platform with the sling and pull it up. After that, loosen the tie rod 3 and hoist the operating platform to the ground. If the owner has requirements, the knife handle type bracket plate 1 can be cut off, polished and protected against corrosion. If there are no requirements, it can be retained.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
