[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] The installation components and containers in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] In the existing technology, the liquid tank fixing method is unreliable. Direct fixing by welding or bolts can easily cause the weld to crack due to vibration during transportation. In addition, the installation is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0039] This application provides an installation assembly for installing a liquid tank. The installation assembly includes a tray, a fixing member, and a movable member. The tray is configured to support the liquid tank. At least two fixing members are provided, spaced apart and fixed to the tray. The movable member is connected to the tray and configured to press the liquid tank against the surface of the fixing member facing the side wall of the liquid tank, thereby defining the relative position of the liquid tank and the tray in the XY plane. This will be described in detail below.
[0040] See Figure 1 The mounting assembly is used for mounting the liquid tank 10. The mounting assembly includes a tray 20, a fixing member 30, and a movable member 40. The tray 20 is configured to support the liquid tank 10. At least two fixing members 30 are provided and are fixed to the tray 20 at intervals. The movable member 40 is connected to the tray 20 and is configured to press the liquid tank 10 against the surface of the fixing member 30 facing the side wall of the liquid tank 10 to define the relative position of the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20 in the XY plane.
[0041] By using the fixing member 30 and the movable member 40, the liquid tank 10 can be installed on the tray 20. In the XY plane, the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20 are relatively stationary, thus achieving fixation between the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20. The structure is simple and easy to use. The movable member 40 can determine its installation position on the tray 20 according to the size of the liquid tank 10, which can realize the limited installation of liquid tanks 10 of different sizes, making it highly applicable. In addition, the fixing member 30 is fixedly set on the tray 20. When installing the liquid tank 10, it is only necessary to snap the liquid tank 10 between the fixing members 30, and finally press the liquid tank 10 onto the fixing member 30 through the movable member 40, thus limiting the liquid tank 10. The operation is simple and reduces the operational intensity of installing the liquid tank 10.
[0042] It is worth mentioning that in actual use, the liquid tank 10 needs to be installed inside the container 60. In this application, the liquid tank 10 is first installed on the pallet 20 outside the container 60, which provides a larger installation and operation space and ensures the stability of the installation between the liquid tank 10 and the pallet 20. Finally, by transferring the pallet 20 (with the liquid tank 10 installed) to the container 60, the difficulty of installing the liquid tank 10 into the container 60 is reduced and the installation efficiency is improved.
[0043] It should be noted that the fastener 30 is fixedly connected to the tray 20, which can be done by welding, riveting, or other connection methods, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment; the movable part 40 is a detachable part, for example, connected to the tray 20 by bolts, and can be selectively installed on the tray 20, with the installation position determined according to the size of the liquid tank 10. The XY plane is the mounting surface parallel to the tray 20 for installing the liquid tank 10.
[0044] In some embodiments, two fixing members 30 and two movable members 40 are provided respectively; one fixing member 30 and one movable member 40 are respectively provided on both sides of the liquid tank 10 in the X-axis direction, and the other fixing member 30 and the other movable member 40 are respectively provided on both sides of the liquid tank 10 in the Y-axis direction.
[0045] by Figure 1 Taking the perspective as an example, two fixing parts 30 are respectively set on the upper side and the left side of the liquid tank 10, and two movable parts 40 are respectively set on the lower side and the right side of the liquid tank 10. The liquid tank 10 is clamped by the two fixing parts 30 and the two movable parts 40, and the liquid tank 10 is limited in four directions to ensure the stability of the liquid tank 10.
[0046] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the movable member 40 may be provided as one, and the movable member 40 cooperates with the two fixed members 30 to limit the position; in some embodiments, the movable member 40 and the fixed members 30 may be provided in other quantities, as long as they can clamp the liquid tank 10 to limit the relative position between the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20.
[0047] In some embodiments, the tray 20 includes a support plate 21 and support rods 22, with the support rods 22 spaced apart on the surface of the support plate 21 away from the liquid tank 10.
[0048] The support plate 21 is separated from the bottom plate 61 of the container 60 by the support rods 22, and the support rods 22 are spaced apart from each other. The space between adjacent support rods 22 forms a flow guiding space 50, which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the liquid tank 10 and improves its service life. When the support plate 21 is transferred to the container 60 by tools such as forklifts, the flow guiding space 50 between adjacent support rods 22 can also provide operating space for the forklift forks, which facilitates the transfer operation of the pallet 20 and makes it easier to move the pallet 20 (with liquid tank 10) into the container 60 for installation and fixation.
[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support rod 22 and the support plate 21 can be made of square tube and steel plate welding, which provides good support for the liquid tank 10 and has low manufacturing cost. When the support rod 22 is made of square tube, an end cap 221 can be set at the end of the square tube to isolate the inside of the square tube from the outside, prevent water vapor from entering and corroding the square tube, and improve the service life of the square tube (tray 20).
[0050] In some embodiments, a flow guiding space 50 is formed between adjacent support rods 22; the portion of the support plate 21 located between the flow guiding space 50 and the liquid tank 10 is provided with a water leakage hole 211.
[0051] This setup guides liquid (which may condense and leak slightly inside container 60 during use) from the drain hole 211 into the flow space 50, and then out of the flow space 50. The drain hole 211 prevents liquid from accumulating on the pallet 20 and allows it to flow smoothly onto the bottom plate 61 of container 60 and be drained through the floor drain.
[0052] Meanwhile, the flow guide space 50 can direct the liquid to flow in a set direction, preventing the liquid from flowing to other parts of the container 60 and thus preventing corrosion of other parts of the container 60.
[0053] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to another aspect, this application also provides a container 60, including any of the aforementioned installation components. The container 60 includes a bottom plate 61 and side beams 62. The side beams 62 are disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 61 in the Y-axis direction and extend along the X-axis direction. The pallet 20 is disposed on the bottom plate 61 via a connector 70. The connector 70 includes a first connecting part 71 and a second connecting part 72 disposed at an angle. The first connecting part 71 is connected to the pallet 20, and the second connecting part 72 is connected to the side beams 62.
[0054] First, install the liquid tank 10 on the pallet 20, then install the pallet 20 on the container 60. The pallet 20 and the liquid tank 10 can be connected as a whole. Then, install the pallet 20 into the container 60. Compared with directly installing the liquid tank 10 on the container 60, the steps are simpler, the operation is easier, and the installation efficiency is improved.
[0055] When pallet 20 is placed inside container 60, pallet 20 is connected to side beam 62 by connector 70, which improves the stability of pallet 20 in container 60, making it more stable and secure during transportation. The structure is simple and easy to install.
[0056] In some embodiments, the support rod 22 is a square tube, and an end cap 221 is provided at the end of the square tube. A nut 222 can be welded inside the end cap 221 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown, during the installation of the connector 70, the first connecting part 71 can be connected to the end cover 221 (tray 20) using bolts. Correspondingly, the connecting hole on the first connecting part 71 for engaging with the bolt can be elongated. When connecting the tray 20 to the side beam 62 via the connector 70, the position can be adjusted to facilitate the bolt passing through the elongated connecting hole and being screwed onto the nut 222, thus improving installation efficiency. Similarly, the same connecting hole can be provided on the second connecting part 72, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0057] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, in the Z-axis direction, the side beam 62 protrudes from the base plate 61, and the end of the tray 20 in the Y-axis direction abuts against the surface of the side beam 62 facing the tray 20.
[0058] In the Z-axis direction, the side beam 62 is higher than the bottom plate 61. The bottom plate 61 and the two side beams 62 form an accommodating space. The pallet 20 is placed in this accommodating space, which is beneficial to the stability of the pallet 20 in the container 60. The side beam 62 can restrict the position of the pallet 20 in the Y-axis direction. The connector 70 only needs to ensure the position of the pallet 20 in the X-axis direction. The connector 70 is subjected to less force, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the connector 70.
[0059] When the pallet 20 is not clamped and limited by the side beam 62, the connector 70 needs to be subjected to forces in multiple directions to ensure the stability of the pallet 20 (for example, during transportation, the pallet 20 will have a tendency to move, which will exert a force on the connector 70). The connector 70 is prone to metal fatigue and breakage, which in turn affects the stability of the pallet 20 installation.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 71 is connected to the side wall of the tray 20 in the X-axis direction, and the second connecting portion 72 is connected to the surface of the side beam 62 facing the tray 20.
[0061] The connector 70 is connected to the side of the tray 20 and does not occupy the surface space of the tray 20 used to support the liquid tank 10. In this embodiment, there are four connectors 70, which are respectively set at the four corners of the tray 20 to ensure the stability of the tray 20 installation.
[0062] It is worth mentioning that the tops of the pallet 20, the connector 70, and the side beam 62 can be basically flush, which helps to improve the flatness of the interior of the container 60 and facilitates the layout of internal pipes and other components. It should be noted that "basically flush" can mean completely flush or with a slight height difference (due to processing errors, etc.).
[0063] See Figure 3 The container 60 has a first liquid tank area 80, an equipment area 90 and a second liquid tank area 100 arranged sequentially along the X-axis. The first liquid tank area 80 and the second liquid tank area 100 are respectively provided with installation components. The equipment area 90 is configured to install equipment that acts on the first liquid tank area 80 and the second liquid tank area 100.
[0064] A liquid tank 10 is provided in the first liquid tank area 80 and the second liquid tank area 100 respectively. An equipment area 90 is set between the two liquid tank areas 10, which facilitates the centralized placement of equipment and the assembly and maintenance of equipment. At the same time, the equipment area 90 is located in the middle, which reduces the length of cables and pipelines, reduces the use of materials, and lowers production costs.
[0065] In some embodiments, the container 60 further includes an electrical box support 63 and a cable tray suspension 64, the electrical box support 63 being disposed on one of the first liquid tank area 80 and the second liquid tank area 100, and the cable tray suspension 64 being disposed on the top of the container 60.
[0066] The electrical box is installed using the electrical box bracket 63, and the cables are laid on the top of the container 60 using the cable tray suspension 64, with a reasonable arrangement.
[0067] In some embodiments, the container 60 further includes a chlorine absorption zone 110, which is configured to install a chlorine absorption device; the electrical box bracket 63 and the chlorine absorption zone 110 are located at both ends of the container 60 in the X-axis direction.
[0068] That is, the electrical box bracket 63 is set at the end of the container 60 in the X-axis direction, and the cables used by each component in the container 60 can be concentrated in the electrical box in one direction, avoiding the mess and waste of cables, and the layout is reasonable.
[0069] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the volume of the middle liquid tank 10 is larger than that of the other liquid tank 10, that is, the weight of the middle liquid tank 10 is larger, and the center of gravity of the container 60 is more concentrated, which is beneficial to the stability of the container 60 during the handling process.
[0070] The technical solution provided in this application aims to install the liquid tank 10 on the tray 20 by setting the fixing member 30 and the movable member 40. In the XY plane, the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20 are relatively stationary, realizing the fixation between the liquid tank 10 and the tray 20. The structure is simple and easy to use. The movable member 40 can determine its installation position on the tray 20 according to the size of the liquid tank 10, which can realize the limited installation of liquid tanks 10 of different sizes, and has strong applicability. In addition, the fixing member 30 is fixedly set on the tray 20. When installing the liquid tank 10, it is only necessary to snap the liquid tank 10 between the fixing members 30, and finally press the liquid tank 10 onto the fixing member 30 by the movable member 40, thereby limiting the liquid tank 10. The operation is simple and reduces the operation intensity of installing the liquid tank 10.
