[0003] When installing existing steel silos, the silo cover is often misaligned with the silo body due to the height of the silo and the weight of the cover itself. This requires multiple adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, a large, quick-assembly T-flange steel silo is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a large, quick-assembly T-flange steel silo to solve the problem mentioned in the background art: when installing existing steel silos, the silo cover and the silo body are connected, and due to the height of the silo body and the weight of the silo cover, deviations occur when connecting the upper and lower flanges, requiring multiple adjustments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a large, quick-assembly T-flange steel silo, comprising:
[0007] A steel silo, comprising a silo body, a silo cover, an upper connecting flange and a lower connecting flange, wherein the upper connecting flange is welded to the lower end of the silo cover and the lower connecting flange is welded to the upper end of the silo body;
[0008] The positioning assembly includes a first insert plate, a second insert plate, a U-shaped support plate, a groove, a first through hole, a locking rod, and a positioning plate. The first insert plate is welded to the side of one of the lower mating flanges, and the second insert plate is welded to the side of one of the upper mating flanges. Grooves are respectively formed on the sides of the U-shaped support plate and the positioning plate. The first insert plate is inserted into the groove on the side of the U-shaped support plate, and the second insert plate is inserted into the groove on the side of the positioning plate. The first through hole is formed inside the groove, and the locking rod is screwed into the first through hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the positioning component also includes reinforcing plates, which are welded to both ends below the U-shaped support plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the cylindrical body includes a conical segmented enclosure plate and segmented flanges, the segmented flanges being welded to the side of the conical segmented enclosure plate, and the conical segmented enclosure plate being connected by the segmented flanges and bolts.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a convenient component, which includes a square hole, a movable plate, and a ball bearing. The square hole is opened in the middle of the U-shaped support plate, the movable plate is inserted into the square hole, and the ball bearing is rotatably connected to the movable plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the convenient component also includes a fixed plate, a second through hole, and an adjusting screw. The fixed plate is welded between two reinforcing plates, the second through hole is opened in the middle of the fixed plate, and the adjusting screw is screwed into the second through hole, with its upper end rotatably connected to the lower middle of the movable plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the positioning plate is movably connected inside the U-shaped support plate and movably connected above the ball bearing.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] I. This utility model, through the setting of positioning components, before installation, places the groove of the U-shaped support plate onto the first insert plate, and the groove of the positioning plate onto the second insert plate. Tighten the locking rod in the first through hole. When the silo cover is hoisted to the upper end of the cylinder, two installers hold the positioning plate symmetrically on both sides of the upper end of the cylinder, so that the silo cover falls slowly until the positioning plate is in the middle of the U-shaped support plate. After adjusting the position, unscrew the locking rod and remove the U-shaped support plate and the positioning plate. This setting can ensure the accuracy of the upper and lower connecting flanges when they are connected and reduce the number of adjustments.
[0016] II. This utility model, through its convenient components, allows the upper docking flange to be pushed after both positioning plates fall into the U-shaped support plate. This pushes the positioning plate onto the ball bearings on the movable plate, aligning the bolt holes. The bolts are then passed through the bolt holes of the upper and lower docking flanges. Subsequently, the adjusting screw is rotated, causing the upper docking flange to move downwards along the second through hole on the fixed plate. This moves the movable plate downwards, disengaging the ball bearings from the positioning plate and merging the upper and lower docking flanges. Finally, the bolts are tightened. This design facilitates slight adjustments to the position of the upper docking flange, saving labor. Attached Figure Description
