Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering, specifically to a large cylindrical dome structure. Background Technology
[0002] Dome-shaped architectural structures are a type of structural formation in building engineering. This structural system has the characteristics of reasonable stress distribution, light weight, large span, and beautiful and novel structural form. It is a large-span spatial structure with a wide range of applications and development prospects.
[0003] Most existing cylindrical silos have flat-top structures, which are prone to rainwater accumulation and seepage, causing the contents of the silo to get wet.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a large cylindrical dome structure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a large cylindrical silo dome structure.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A large cylindrical silo dome structure includes: a skeleton structure, which is hemispherical in shape and has gaps on the spherical surface; a mounting ring is provided at the bottom edge of the skeleton structure, and the outer diameter of the mounting ring matches the inner diameter of the cylindrical silo; and a covering structure, which covers the gaps in the skeleton structure and has a sealing structure between it and the skeleton structure.
[0008] By setting up a skeleton structure and a covering structure, the covering structure is placed over the spherical gaps of the skeleton structure to seal it, thus forming a dome. The dome structure is initially connected and fixed by inserting the mounting ring into the cylindrical compartment. Rainwater from the dome structure will flow down along the arc-shaped dome structure, which is less prone to water accumulation compared to traditional flat roofs, making it easier to store internal items. Furthermore, a sealing structure is set between the skeleton structure and the covering structure, which can further improve waterproof performance and prevent water leakage.
[0009] Further defining the framework, the skeleton structure includes a top block, several ribs, and a bottom ring; the top block is disc-shaped, the ribs are arc-shaped, the top ends of the ribs are radially arranged around the periphery of the top block, and the bottom ends are fixedly connected to the bottom ring, with the mounting ring fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bottom ring; by setting the bottom ring to fix the bottom of the ribs and the mounting ring, the stability of the skeleton structure and the insertion limit of the mounting ring can be effectively improved.
[0010] Further defining the covering structure, the covering plate covers the gap between two adjacent ribs, the area of the covering plate matches the area of the gap between the adjacent ribs, the top block has an insertion groove on its peripheral surface, and the top edge of the covering plate has a horizontal insertion block that mates with the insertion groove; by setting a horizontal insertion block on the top edge of the covering plate and opening an insertion groove on the peripheral surface of the top block, it is convenient to insert the covering plate into the top block and fix the top of the covering plate.
[0011] Further defining the sealing structure, it includes a sealing groove and a sealing protrusion. First mounting platforms are respectively formed on both sides of the outer surface of the rib, and second mounting platforms matching the first mounting platforms are respectively formed on both sides of the inner surface of the covering plate. The sealing groove is recessed on the second mounting platform, and the sealing protrusion is located on the first mounting platform, with the sealing protrusion being semi-circular in shape. By having the first mounting platform on the outer surface of the rib and the sealing protrusion on the first mounting platform, the gap between the sealing protrusion and the sealing groove exists only at the top. This means that rainwater must overcome gravity to enter the compartment through the gap, thus improving waterproofing performance.
[0012] Further specified, the width of the bottom ring is greater than the thickness of the rib, and the top surface of the bottom ring not covered by the rib and the covering plate has a drainage surface, which is a downward sloping surface from the inside to the outside; the sloping drainage surface at the outer edge of the bottom ring can ensure that the rainwater flowing down from the covering plate flows more smoothly down from the edge of the bottom ring and will not accumulate on the bottom ring.
[0013] Furthermore, the skeleton structure also includes a central support rod and a base block. The top end of the central support rod is fixedly connected to the top block, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the base block. The base block is also disc-shaped. Several reinforcing rods are connected between the inner wall of the base ring and the circumference of the base block. These reinforcing rods are also arranged radially. A support rod is connected between the top surface of the base block and the middle section of the rib. By setting the central support rod and the base block, and by setting the reinforcing rod between the base block and the base ring, and by setting the support rod between the base block and the middle section of the rib, the skeleton structure becomes more stable and its stability is improved.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a dome with a covering plate and a rib, it is less prone to water accumulation compared to a flat roof. The sealing protrusion and sealing groove between the covering plate and the rib can further improve the waterproof performance. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0021] Example:
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, a large cylindrical silo dome structure includes a skeleton structure 1, a covering structure 2, and a sealing structure 3. The skeleton structure 1 is generally hemispherical, and a mounting ring 4 is provided at the bottom edge of the skeleton structure 1. The outer diameter of the mounting ring 4 matches the inner diameter of the cylindrical silo. The skeleton structure 1 includes a top block 11, several ribs 12, a bottom ring 13, a central upright rod 14, and a bottom block 15. The top block 11 is disc-shaped, the ribs 12 are arc-shaped, and the tops of several ribs 12 are radially arranged around the top block 11. The top and bottom ends are fixedly connected to the bottom ring 13, and the mounting ring 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bottom ring 13; the top end of the central upright rod 14 is fixedly connected to the top block 11, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the bottom block 15. The bottom block 15 is also disc-shaped. Several reinforcing rods 16 are connected between the inner wall of the bottom ring 13 and the circumferential surface of the bottom block 15. The reinforcing rods 16 are also arranged radially. A support rod 17 is connected between the top surface of the bottom block 15 and the middle section of the bone strip 12; a connection is made between the covering structure 2 and the skeleton structure 1. The structure includes a sealing structure 3; the covering structure 2 includes a covering plate 21, which covers the gap between two adjacent ribs 12, and the area of the covering plate 21 matches the area of the gap between the adjacent ribs 12. A insertion groove 111 is provided on the peripheral surface of the top block 11, and an insertion block 22 that mates with the insertion groove 111 is provided horizontally on the top edge of the covering plate 21; the sealing structure 3 includes a sealing groove 31 and a sealing protrusion 32; and first mounting platforms are respectively provided on both sides of the outer surface of the rib 12. 121, the inner surface of the covering plate 21 is provided with a second mounting platform 211 that matches the first mounting platform 121 on both sides. The sealing groove 31 is recessed on the second mounting platform 211. The sealing protrusion 32 is provided on the first mounting platform 121. The sealing protrusion 32 is semi-circular. The width of the bottom ring 13 is greater than the thickness of the rib 12. The top surface of the bottom ring 13 that is not covered by the rib 12 and the covering plate 21 is provided with a drainage surface 131. The drainage surface 131 is a downward sloping surface from the inside to the outside.
[0023] By setting up a skeleton structure 1 and a covering structure 2, the covering structure 2 covers the spherical gap of the skeleton structure 1 to seal it, thereby forming a dome. The dome structure is initially connected and fixed by inserting the mounting ring 4 into the cylindrical compartment. Rainwater from the dome structure will flow down along the arc-shaped dome structure, which is less prone to water accumulation compared to a traditional flat roof, making it easier to store internal items. Furthermore, a sealing structure 3 is provided between the skeleton structure 1 and the covering structure 2, which can further improve the waterproof performance and prevent water leakage. By setting a bottom ring 13 to fix the bottom of the rib 12 and the mounting ring 4, the stability of the skeleton structure 1 and the insertion limit of the mounting ring 4 can be effectively improved. By setting a horizontal insertion block 22 on the top edge of the covering plate 21 and opening an insertion groove 111 on the circumference of the top block 11, it is convenient to insert the covering plate 21 into the top. Block 11 is used to fix the top of the covering plate 21; the first mounting platform 121 is opened on the outer surface of the rib 12, and the sealing protrusion 32 is set on the first mounting platform 121. This makes the gap between the sealing protrusion 32 and the sealing groove 31 only exist at the top, so that rainwater has to overcome gravity to enter the chamber through the gap, thus improving the waterproof performance; the inclined drainage surface 131 set on the outer edge of the bottom ring 13 can ensure that the rainwater flowing down from the covering plate 21 flows down the edge of the bottom ring 13 more smoothly and will not accumulate on the bottom ring 13; by setting the central upright 14 and the bottom block 15, and setting the reinforcing rod 16 between the bottom block 15 and the bottom ring 13, and setting the support rod 17 between the bottom block 15 and the middle section of the rib 12, the skeleton structure 1 is more stable and the stability is improved.
