Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tower container technology, and in particular relates to a tower container packing support structure. Background Technology

[0002] In chemical plants, various containers are fixed to a specific location in the production process using supports. Vertically installed, circular containers are called vertical equipment. Tower containers are a type of vertical equipment and are among the most important pieces of equipment in chemical and oil refining production. Tower containers allow for close contact between gas-liquid or liquid-liquid phases, achieving mass and heat transfer. Tower containers consist of a tower body, supports, trays, packing, and supporting structures. The packing in a tower container provides a mass transfer surface, increases heat dissipation area, prolongs residence time, and evenly distributes water flow. The supporting structure (grid supports) supports the packing. However, the supporting structure still has the following shortcomings in practical use:

[0003] First, there are fixed support rings on the inner wall of the tower-type container. The support rings are used to support the grid support plate. The grid plate is composed of a circular frame and cross grid plates. Due to the simple structure of the grid plate, it cannot distribute the load applied to the support ring and cannot buffer the impact of the grid plate on the support ring, thus reducing the protective effect on the support ring, reducing the load on the support ring, and limiting the amount of filler that can be supported.

[0004] 2. Secondly, after placing the grid support plate on the support ring, multiple sets of fasteners (bolts) are needed to fix the position of the grid support plate to increase the stability of the grid support plate inside the tower container, thereby stably supporting the fill. However, the use of fasteners increases the number of steps for disassembling and assembling the grid support plate, making it inconvenient to quickly disassemble and assemble the grid support plate.

[0005] To address these issues, we provide a tower-type container packing support structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tower container packing support structure. By setting a telescopic component, the load-bearing capacity of the circular support seat is increased, and the tower container packing is supported more efficiently. Furthermore, by setting a locking component, the steps of disassembling and assembling the circular support seat and the circular frame are simplified, making it convenient and quick to disassemble and assemble the circular support seat and the circular frame, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model relates to a tower-type container packing support structure, comprising a circular frame, with telescopic members arranged in a circular array on the lower surface of the circular frame, each telescopic member including a connecting cylinder disposed on the lower surface of the circular frame, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the lower surface of a slider sleeved inside the connecting cylinder, and a spring connected to the upper surface of the slider at the lower end of the inner top of the connecting cylinder; a locking member is disposed on the connecting rod, the locking member including a circular support seat disposed below the circular frame, a through groove on the upper surface of the circular support seat, a support groove in the upper inner part of the through groove, a retaining groove on the lower surface of the circular support seat, a rubber pad disposed on the lower surface of a fixing block sleeved around the connecting rod, both the fixing block and the rubber pad being inserted into the support groove, and a movable block rotatably connected around the connecting rod being inserted into the retaining groove.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a grid plate one and a grid plate two are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular frame, and the grid plate one and the grid plate two are cross-fixed.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the lower surface of the circular frame has internally threaded holes arranged in a circular array, and the screw fixed to the upper surface of the connecting cylinder is threadedly connected to the inside of the internally threaded holes.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner top of the connecting cylinder, both the connecting rod and the slider are hollow structures, and the guide rod passes through the slider.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the lower outer periphery of the connecting cylinder has a threaded cap, the inner bottom of the cap has a through hole, and the connecting rod passes through the through hole.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing ring is provided on the inner circumferential side of the through hole, and the inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the slider.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the lower end of the connecting rod has a threaded limiting bolt, and the limiting bolt contacts the lower surface of the movable block.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention incorporates a telescopic component. When the supporting force of the spring is less than the load on the circular ring frame, the spring contracts, the connecting cylinder moves downward, and the circular ring frame moves downward closer to the circular ring support seat. Conversely, the spring extends and returns to its original position. The spring supports the tower-type container packing on the circular ring frame, reducing the load received by the circular ring support seat and increasing its supporting load. Furthermore, by utilizing the characteristics of the spring, the impact of the circular ring frame on the circular ring support seat is buffered, providing a protective effect and more efficiently supporting the tower-type container packing.

[0017] This utility model features a locking mechanism. When the connecting rod is pressed down, the rubber pad is compressed, causing the connecting rod to move downwards. The movable block then moves out of the slot. Rotating the movable block causes it to move in an arc around the connecting rod until it aligns with the through slot. Pulling the connecting rod upwards causes the movable block to pass through the through slot, removing the obstruction to the upward movement of the connecting rod. This allows for the separation of the circular frame and the circular support base. Conversely, reassembling the circular frame and the circular support base is also possible. The operation is simple. Attached Figure Description

Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model is a tower container packing support structure, including a circular frame 1, a grid plate 101 and a grid plate 102. The circular frame 1 is used to support the tower container packing, and the grid plate 101 and the grid plate 102 are used to fill the internal space of the circular frame 1, reduce the gap inside the circular frame 1, support the tower container packing more efficiently, and prevent the tower container packing from falling off.

[0027] Specifically, inside the circular frame 1 there are grid plate one 101 and grid plate two 102 fixedly connected, and grid plate one 101 and grid plate two 102 are cross-fixed; grid plate one 101 is equidistantly distributed, and grid plate two 102 is equidistantly distributed.

[0028] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the tower container packing is evenly placed on the circular frame 1, and the circular frame 1, the grid plate 101 and the grid plate 102 together support the tower container packing. Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the first specific embodiment, a telescopic component 2 is provided. The telescopic component 2 includes a connecting cylinder 201, a screw cap 201a, a screw 201b, a connecting rod 202, a slider 202a, a guide rod 203, and a spring 204. The spring 204 receives the load transmitted by the circular frame 1, reduces the load applied by the circular frame 1 to the circular support 301, and increases the load on the circular support 301. At the same time, the characteristics of the spring 204 are beneficial to buffering the impact of the circular frame 1 on the circular support 301. The circular support 301 supports the circular frame 1 more efficiently and supports the tower container packing more efficiently.

[0030] Specifically, the lower surface of the circular frame 1 has an internal threaded hole, the upper end of the connecting cylinder 201 has a fixed screw 201b, the screw 201b is threaded into the inside of the internal threaded hole, the inside of the connecting cylinder 201 has a sleeved slider 202a, the inside of the connecting cylinder 201 has a fixed guide rod 203, the upper end of the spring 204 sleeved on the periphery of the guide rod 203 is connected to the inner top of the connecting cylinder 201, the lower end of the spring 204 is connected to the slider 202a, the lower outer periphery of the connecting cylinder 201 has a threaded cap 201a, the inner bottom of the cap 201a has a through hole with a sealing ring on the inner periphery, the lower surface of the slider 202a has a fixed connecting rod 202, the connecting rod 202 passes through the through hole;

[0031] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the slider 202a, the connecting rod 202 is a hollow structure, and the slider 202a is a hollow structure;

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when the weight of the tower container packing carried on the circular frame 1 is greater than the supporting load of the spring 204, the spring 204 contracts, the connecting cylinder 201 moves downward, and the connecting rod 202 enters the interior of the connecting cylinder 201; conversely, the spring 204 extends and resets, the connecting cylinder 201 moves upward, and the connecting rod 202 moves out of the interior of the connecting cylinder 201.

When the connecting rod 202 is pressed down, the rubber pad 302a is compressed, and the movable block 303 moves out of the slot 301c. Rotating the movable block 303 releases the obstruction to the upward movement of the connecting rod 202, thus separating the circular support base 301 and the circular frame 1. Conversely, the circular frame 1 and the circular support base 301 are assembled. The operation is simple.

[0034] Specifically, the annular support base 301 is located below the annular frame 1. The annular support base 301 has through grooves 301a arranged in a ring array.

The periphery of the connecting rod 202 has a fixed block 302. The lower surface of the fixed block 302 has a rubber pad 302a. Both the fixed block 302 and the rubber pad 302a are inserted into the support groove 301b. The periphery of the connecting rod 202 has a rotatably connected movable block 303. The movable block 303 is inserted into the slot 301c.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting rod 202 has a threaded limiting bolt 304, which contacts the lower surface of the movable block 303.

[0036] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the circular support base 301 is fixed to the inner wall of the tower container; a downward external force is applied to the connecting rod 202, the rubber pad 302a is compressed, the connecting rod 202 moves downward, the movable block 303 moves downward out of the slot 301c, the movable block 303 is rotated, the movable block 303 moves in an arc around the connecting rod 202 as a fixed point until the movable block 303 is aligned with the through slot 301a, the connecting rod 202 is pulled upward, the movable block 303 passes through the through slot 301a upward, and the circular support base 301 and the circular frame 1 are separated; conversely, the circular support base 301 and the circular frame 1 are assembled.
