Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank installation technology, and more specifically, to a tank wall panel assembly operation platform. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the fabrication and installation of large tanks, due to the large diameter of the tanks, the tank wall panels need to be processed into several curved sections at the manufacturing plant according to the requirements of the tank's curvature. After arriving at the installation site, cranes and other lifting equipment are used to assemble the curved sections into a circle before welding and installation. Generally, an inverted installation method is used during the installation process. That is, after installing the bottom wall panel, the first ring of wall panels above the bottom wall panel is assembled and welded (not yet welded to the bottom wall panel). Then, the tank top and upper wall panel assembly are assembled and installed on top of the first ring of wall panels.
[0003] In conventional construction, assembling the first ring of wall panels requires setting up an operating platform. Fixed scaffolding is erected both inside and outside the wall panels, or mobile scaffolding is used both inside and outside the panels. Workers stand on the scaffolding to perform the work. Positioning components for each curved panel are also needed in the middle of the scaffolding inside and outside the panels to position all the curved panels into a circle, controlling the diameter and flatness of the wall panels for easy assembly. However, setting up the scaffolding each time is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Sometimes the height of mobile scaffolding is insufficient, requiring additional height, which is detrimental to safe construction. Furthermore, there is no standardized positioning component, making positioning inconvenient and inaccurate. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tank wall panel assembly operation platform that can be simply and stably set around the bottom wall panel, accurately and stably positioning each arc plate of the first ring of wall panels, ensuring worker safety during construction, and achieving high efficiency in arc plate assembly.
[0005] This utility model provides a tank wall panel assembly operation platform, including support members evenly distributed around the upper edge of the bottom wall panel, and flat plates fixed between adjacent support members.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application of the tank wall panel combination operation platform according to an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 3 This is a top view of the application of the tank wall panel combination operation platform according to an embodiment of the present utility model;
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the tank wall panel assembly operation platform proposed in this embodiment can be used to assemble the first ring of wall panels above the bottom wall panel when installing large tanks, and can also be used to assemble annular wall panels above other annular wall panels.
[0032] The tank wall panel assembly operating platform includes support members 1 that are evenly installed around the upper edge of the bottom wall panel 7, and a flat plate 2 fixed between adjacent support members 1.
[0033] A support member 1 can be set at regular intervals along the upper edge of the bottom wall panel 7. The middle part of the support member 1 is stuck on the bottom wall panel 7. The support member 1 is located on both the inner and outer sides of the bottom wall panel 7. A ring of flat plates 2 can be laid on both the inner and outer sides of the bottom wall panel 7. Construction workers can stand on both the inner and outer sides of the bottom wall panel 7 to perform welding operations on the inner and outer sides of the first ring of wall panels 8.
[0034] In this embodiment, the support member 1 may include a horizontal rod 3. In order to stably secure the support member 1, a pair of locking plates 4 are provided at the lower middle part of the horizontal rod 3. The pair of locking plates 4 are symmetrical about the vertical center plane of the horizontal rod 3. The pair of locking plates 4 hold the upper edge of the bottom wall panel 7 inside, and the horizontal rod 3 is balanced above the upper edge of the bottom wall panel 7. The horizontal rod 3 is horizontal and stable and will not be tilted. The horizontal rod 3 points to the central axis of the bottom wall panel 7.
[0035] The distance between adjacent support members 1 can be set according to the curvature of the bottom wall panel 7 and the length of the plate 2. It should be ensured that the plate 2 can be close to the wall panel for easy operation by workers. The distance between adjacent support members 1 should not exceed 2.5m.
[0036] In order to vertically position the arc plate of the first ring wall panel 8, a pair of arc plate positioning plates 5 are provided on the upper middle part of the horizontal bar 3. The pair of arc plate positioning plates 5 are symmetrical about the vertical center of the horizontal bar 3, and several pairs of arc plate positioning plates 5 are evenly clamped on the lower edge of the arc plate of the first ring wall panel 8 to be assembled.
[0037] Depending on the length of the arc plate, there can be several supporting components 1 below the arc plate. The paired arc plate positioning plates 5 on each supporting component 1 will fix the arc plate and position it vertically, ensuring stable positioning and preventing tilting or displacement.
[0038] The first ring wall panel 8 and the bottom wall panel 7 have the same diameter. The ring support member 1 can stably position all the arc plates and form a ring. The resulting wall panel has an accurate diameter, a smooth transition, and reasonable joints between adjacent arc plates, which is convenient for welding.
[0039] A flat plate 2 is fixed between adjacent horizontal bars 3 on both sides of the bottom wall panel 7. The two ends of the flat plate 2 are respectively fixed to the adjacent horizontal bars 3 on the same side of the bottom wall panel 7, and the worker can stand on the flat plate 2 on both sides of the first ring wall panel 8 to perform welding operations.
[0040] In this embodiment, the horizontal bar 3 may include an I-beam, with a pair of retaining plates 4 and a pair of arc-shaped positioning plates 5 respectively installed on the two flanges of the I-beam. The two flanges of the I-beam are placed horizontally, with a pair of arc-shaped positioning plates 5 installed in the middle of the upper flange and a pair of retaining plates 4 installed in the middle of the lower flange. The length of the I-beam can be about 2m, slightly longer than the width of the two parts of the flat plate 2, and a No. 10 I-beam can be selected.
[0041] The clamping plate 4 can be a right-angled triangular steel plate, with one right-angled side welded to the horizontal bar 3 and the other right-angled side facing the middle of the horizontal bar 3. Two right-angled triangular steel plates are welded to the lower flange of the I-beam, with the right-angled sides of the two right-angled triangular steel plates clamping the upper edge of the bottom wall plate 7 in the middle. Thicker plates can be used for the right-angled triangular steel plates.
[0042] The clamping plate 4 can also be a first vertical plate, which is vertically set on the horizontal bar 3. A reinforcing rib is provided between the first vertical plate and the horizontal bar 3 on the side of the first vertical plate away from the middle of the horizontal bar 3. Two first vertical plates are welded to the lower flange of the I-beam, and the two first vertical plates clamp the upper edge of the bottom wall panel 7 in the middle.
[0043] The arc plate positioning plate 5 may include a second vertical plate, which is vertically mounted on the horizontal bar 3. A reinforcing rib is provided between the second vertical plate and the horizontal bar 3 on the side of the second vertical plate away from the middle of the horizontal bar 3. Two second vertical plates are welded to the upper flange of the I-beam, and the two second vertical plates lock the lower edge of the arc plate of the first ring wall plate 8 in the middle.
[0044] To facilitate secure fastening, the distance between a pair of clamping plates 4 should be within 2cm greater than the thickness of the bottom wall panel 7, and the distance between a pair of curved positioning plates 5 should be within 2cm greater than the thickness of the first ring of wall panels 8 to be assembled, ensuring easy and stable fastening. The height of the clamping plates 4 and the curved positioning plates 5 can both be around 10cm, as long as they can securely fasten the fasteners.
[0045] To securely install the plate 2, threaded holes are provided on the horizontal bar 3, and through holes are provided at both ends of the plate 2. The plate 2 is fixed to the horizontal bar 3 with bolts. At least two round holes can be provided on the upper flange of the I-beam, and nuts are welded to the lower part of the round holes. Adjacent plates 2 can be stacked and overlapped on the I-beam and fastened together with bolts. The plate 2 can be made of wood or steel plate, and through holes for bolts to pass through are provided at the ends of the plate 2.
[0046] For worker safety, a railing 6 is installed on the outside of the plate 2. The lower end of the railing 6 is detachably fixed to the outer edge of the plate 2.
[0047] After the first ring of wall panels 8 is assembled, the next ring of wall panels is hoisted down to be close to the first ring of wall panels 8. On the wall panel assembly operation platform of this tank, the first ring of wall panels 8 and the next ring of wall panels are welded together.
[0048] When workers are working on the flat plate 2 and the working height is not high enough, a second flat plate 9 can be erected on the flat plate 2 to increase the standing height.
[0049] This tank wall panel combination operating platform can support both a standing flat plate and a positioning arc plate, making it easy and secure to set up and saving construction time.
[0050] The tank wall panel assembly operating platform according to the present invention is described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications can be made to the tank wall panel assembly operating platform proposed in the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the content of the appended claims.
