Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a compressor technology field, specifically is a flexible support for compressor supporting container. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the chemical industry, the compressor unit occupies the core position, just like the heart of the industry. With the increasing attention of the state to the safety production of chemical industry, higher requirements are put forward for the reliability and safety of the compressor supporting container. Optimizing the structure of the container that may cause the failure of the body becomes the key measure to improve its reliability.
[0003] The existing horizontal container adopts a saddle support, but the traditional saddle support is a rigid support structure with full welding. For the supporting container that is rigidly connected with the compressor and has large thermal expansion or large temperature difference stress, this rigid support has serious drawbacks. When the compressor unit generates heat and the buffer container directly connected therewith expands, if the thermal expansion is large and the rigid support is used, the container may generate thermal stress in the radial direction. Due to the fact that the stress cannot be effectively released, it may be concentrated on a certain part of the container body, which may easily lead to the failure of the container due to stress concentration after long-term accumulation, thereby causing safety problems. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a flexible support for a compressor supporting container, which solves the problem that the stress concentration caused by the fact that the existing rigid support cannot release thermal stress acts on the container body, thereby endangering the safe operation of the container.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model realizes the following technical scheme: a flexible support for a compressor supporting container, comprising a bottom plate, a lower support plate perpendicular to the bottom plate is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the bottom plate, a center support plate is detachably installed above the lower support plate, an upper support plate is detachably installed above the center support plate, the center support plate is connected with the upper support plate and the lower support plate through a flexible connecting assembly, a pair of baffles is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the center support plate, the top of the upper baffle abuts against the lower wall of the upper support plate, and the bottom of the lower baffle abuts against the upper wall of the lower support plate, and a pad plate is fixedly arranged above the upper support plate.
[0006] Preferably, the flexible connecting assembly comprises a pair of bolts arranged on the upper support plate and the lower support plate respectively, a pair of strip-shaped grooves for the bolts to pass through are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the center support plate, and nuts are screwed on the ends of the bolts.
[0007] Preferably, a first rib plate is welded between the pad plate and the upper support plate, and a second rib plate is welded between the lower support plate and the bottom plate.
[0008] Preferably, foot bolts are arranged on the bottom plate.
[0009] Preferably, the pad is an arc-shaped structure that matches the container body.
[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] This utility model provides a flexible support for a compressor-compatible container, which has the following advantages:
[0012] The flexible support of the present invention can be locked after the compressor has been running stably, according to the actual state of the container after expansion. In this way, the tightening height can be flexibly adjusted on site according to the thermal expansion of the host and the container, effectively avoiding the problem of not being able to adapt to thermal expansion changes due to pre-fixing, and improving the compatibility between the support and the container.
[0013] Even after locking, the container still experiences thermal expansion, and the thermal stress will concentrate at the flexible connection of the support. This means that all stress will be borne by the support bolts and plates, rather than acting on the container body, thus avoiding the risk of failure due to localized stress concentration in the container body and ensuring the safety and reliability of the container during production operations.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figs. 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: a flexible support for a compressor-compatible container, including a base plate 6, a lower support plate 5 perpendicular to the base plate 6 fixedly installed on the upper wall of the base plate 6, a central support plate 8 detachably installed above the lower support plate 5, an upper support plate 2 detachably installed above the central support plate 8, the central support plate 8, the upper support plate 2, and the lower support plate 5 are connected by a flexible connecting assembly, a pair of baffles 4 are fixedly provided on the side wall of the central support plate 8, the top of the upper baffle 4 abuts against the lower wall of the upper support plate 2, the bottom of the lower baffle 4 abuts against the upper wall of the lower support plate 5, and a pad 1 is fixedly provided above the upper support plate 2.
[0019] In this embodiment, the flexible connection assembly includes a pair of bolts 7 respectively provided on the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 5, and a pair of strip grooves for the bolts 7 to pass through are provided on the upper and lower sides of the central support plate 8, and a nut is screwed onto the end of the bolt 7.
[0020] In this embodiment, a first stiffening plate 3 is welded between the pad 1 and the upper support plate 2, and a second stiffening plate 9 is welded between the lower support plate 5 and the bottom plate 6.
[0021] In this embodiment, the base plate 6 is further provided with anchor bolts 10.
[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0023] Example: According to the design dimensions, the lower support plate 5 is welded to the base plate 6 to ensure vertical fixation. Then, according to the dimensional requirements, the second stiffening plate 9 is welded between the base plate 6 and the lower support plate 5 to enhance the stability of the connection. Two baffles 4 are welded to the central support plate 8 according to the dimensions in the design drawing, providing positioning and support for subsequent cooperation with the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 5. The upper support plate 2 is welded to the pad 1 according to the dimensional requirements. Then, the first stiffening plate 3 is welded between the pad 1 and the upper support plate 2 to enhance the connection strength between the upper support plate 2 and the pad 1. Bolts 7 are passed through the bolt holes on the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 5, as well as the strip grooves on the upper and lower sides of the central support plate 8. Nuts are then screwed onto the ends of the bolts 7 to assemble the central support plate 8, the upper support plate 2, and the lower support plate 5. The slotted groove and bolt 7 work together to allow the central support plate 8 to move within a certain range to accommodate the thermal expansion of the container. The base plate 6 is then fitted onto the anchor bolts 10, and the pad 1 is welded to the container body according to the design dimensions. Finally, the anchor bolts 10 are tightened to complete the installation of the support. The initial installation is carried out according to the above steps, but the bolts 7 and nuts at the top are not tightened. After the unit is running stably and the container undergoes thermal expansion, the expansion state of the container is observed. The support is fine-tuned according to the actual situation to ensure that each component is in the best fit position. Then the bolts 7 and nuts are tightened to complete the fixation of the support. During operation, if the container continues to undergo thermal expansion, the thermal stress will be concentrated at the flexible connection of the support, thereby protecting the container body from the effects of stress concentration.
