Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tower and water tank support technology, and in particular to a support structure for reinforced concrete high-altitude water tanks. Background Technology

[0002] The reinforced concrete ring slab at the top of the reinforced concrete water tower support is the permanent support component for the upper water tank. During the construction of this ring slab, the precast water tank needs to be temporarily suspended at a certain height above it to allow construction space. Only after the ring slab is completed can the water tank be lowered onto the ring slab to achieve permanent support. The process of suspending the water tank is particularly crucial. Typically, the water tank is first lifted to the predetermined position and suspended using a double-ring beam hydraulic jack method (or a single-ring beam through-hole jack method, or other methods); then, the reinforced concrete ring slab for permanently fixing the water tank is poured; after the ring slab reaches the required strength, the water tank is lowered onto the ring slab, completing the permanent positioning and support of the water tank.

[0003] However, this would mean that when the water tank is suspended, it is only temporarily fixed at high altitude by the lifting system. Many factors affect the positioning accuracy (such as the coordination of the jacks, the influence of wind load, etc.), and the accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Moreover, due to the construction period of the lower reinforced concrete ring slab, the time required for temporary fixation of the water tank at high altitude is relatively long (generally more than 15 days), so there are significant safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a support structure for reinforced concrete high-altitude water tanks to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0013] Preferably, the reinforcement component further includes a connecting plate, the two ends of which are respectively connected to two adjacent steel supports.

[0014] Preferably, the second support component is a reinforced concrete ring plate, and all the steel support units are built into the reinforced concrete ring plate.

[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 1-4This utility model provides a support structure for a reinforced concrete high-altitude water tank in one embodiment, comprising a support cylinder 10, a water tank support mechanism 20, and a lifting mechanism 30. First, it should be noted that, unlike existing technologies where the water tank is temporarily fixed at high altitude using only a lifting system when suspended, this method addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a support structure for a reinforced concrete high-altitude water tank, as described below:

[0034] The lifting mechanism 30 is connected to the top of the support cylinder 10, and the driving end of the lifting mechanism 30 is vertically telescopically arranged for lifting the water tank; the water tank support mechanism 20 includes a first support component 210 and a second support component 220 that are both connected around the top of the support cylinder 10. The first support component 210 is built into the second support component 220, and the tops of the first support component 210 and the second support component 220 are both used for placing the water tank; wherein, the first support component 210 includes a plurality of steel bracket units and reinforcing components arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support cylinder 10. The steel bracket units are connected to the support cylinder 10, and each pair of adjacent steel bracket units are connected by the reinforcing component.

[0035] Specifically, the support structure for reinforced concrete high-altitude water tanks in this application includes a support cylinder 10, a water tank support mechanism 20, and a lifting mechanism 30. The support cylinder 10 serves as the main support for the entire structure and also provides a place for the installation of various components. The water tank support mechanism 20 supports the water tank for placement. The lifting mechanism 30 is used to lift the water tank to a sufficient height for easy placement on the water tank support mechanism 20. Therefore, it is connected to the top of the support cylinder 10 and its drive end is vertically extendable, facilitating the lifting and lowering of the water tank via the drive end.

[0036] The water tank support mechanism 20 includes a first support component 210 and a second support component 220, both of which are connected around the top of the support cylinder 10. The first support component 210 is a preliminary support component, which serves as a temporary support component when suspending the water tank. The water tank can be placed on the first support component 210 to reduce the suspension time of the water tank. Then, the second support component 220 is poured. After the second support component 220 is poured and reaches sufficient strength, it becomes the main support mechanism. Even when pouring the second support component 220, the first support component 210 does not need to be disassembled, as it can be covered by the second support component 220, thus forming a permanent double support system to significantly improve the load-bearing strength of the structure and ensure the safety of the structure.

[0037] The first support component 210 includes multiple steel support units and reinforcing components arranged circumferentially along the support cylinder 10. The steel support units are temporary support components for the water tank, and they can be prefabricated in the factory in the form of steel structures, which makes installation on the top of the support cylinder 10 faster and more convenient, reducing the suspension time of the water tank. Preferably, the number of steel support units can be set to six, so as to save processing costs while ensuring the structural support strength. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs. The reinforcing components are used to reinforce the connection between two adjacent steel support units, improve the overall connection between multiple steel support units, and enable them to bear the force as a whole, thus strengthening the stress performance of the entire system and facilitating the support of the water tank. Preferably, the second support component 220 adopts a reinforced concrete ring plate 221. In this way, even if the strength decreases with the increase of service life, the internal first support component 210 will provide double protection, which is different from the method of using only a reinforced concrete ring plate 221. It is not limited by the age of concrete and improves the service life of the structure.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the steel support units includes a base plate 211, a steel support 212, and a support plate 213. The base plate 211 is connected to the top of the support cylinder 10, the bottom end of the steel support 212 is connected to the base plate 211, and the support plate 213 is connected to the top of the steel support 212.

[0039] It should be noted that the base plate 211 is used to connect with the top of the support cylinder 10, thereby facilitating the installation of the steel bracket 212. The steel bracket 212 serves as a support for bearing force, and the support plate 213 is used to increase the contact area with the water tank, thereby facilitating the placement of the water tank. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top end of the steel bracket 212 is inclined outward from the bottom end along the radial direction of the support cylinder 10, thereby increasing the support area formed by the multiple steel brackets 212 and support plates 213, which facilitates the complete placement of the water tank and improves the stability of the water tank installation. Considering that if the inclination is too large, the force may be unstable, therefore, preferably, the angle between the inclined surface of the steel bracket 212 and the horizontal plane can be set to 60° to 65°, which can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing component includes two connecting plates 214 arranged vertically opposite each other. The two ends of each connecting plate 214 are respectively connected to two adjacent support plates 213, and two connecting plates 214 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of each support plate 213.

[0041] It is worth noting that the connecting plate 214 can strengthen the overall connection between two adjacent support plates 213, so that the support plates 213 form a closed ring structure. In addition to improving the overall integrity, it can also increase the contact area of ​​the water tank. It should be noted that the connecting plate 214 needs to be set on both the upper and lower sides of the support plate 213 to adopt a double-layer connection form to improve the load-bearing capacity of the support plate 213. Furthermore, the connecting plate 214 can be connected by bolts, which is convenient and quick to process.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing component further includes a splice plate 215, the two ends of which are respectively connected to two adjacent steel supports 212.

[0043] It is worth noting that the gusset plate 215 can strengthen the overall connection between two adjacent steel supports 212, thus forming a rigid frame system, further enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the structure, so that the structure can better distribute stress and avoid local instability when bearing the load applied by the water tank.

[0044] Furthermore, the top end of the support plate 213 is flush with the top end of the reinforced concrete ring plate 221.

[0045] It should be understood that this allows the steel support unit to share part of the load-bearing capacity of the reinforced concrete ring plate 221 during support, thereby improving the load-bearing strength by sharing the load.

[0046] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a support column 310, a lifting frame 320, a drive assembly 330, and a boom 340. The support column 310 is connected to the top of the support cylinder 10, the lifting frame 320 is connected to the support column 310, the drive assembly 330 is connected to the lifting frame 320, and the drive end of the drive assembly 330 is vertically telescopically arranged. The boom 340 is connected to the drive end of the drive assembly 330 to be vertically movable.

[0047] It should be noted that the support column 310 is used for the installation of the lifting frame 320 to support the lifting frame 320 to a sufficient height, thereby providing sufficient construction space for the installation of the first support component 210 when suspending the water tank. The lifting frame 320 is connected to the support column 310 for the installation of the drive component 330. The drive component 330 can be a jack. By connecting the lifting rod 340 to the drive end of the jack, the lifting rod 340 is used to connect to the water tank. Thus, during construction, the lifting rod 340 is first raised by the jack to suspend the water tank to a certain height before the first support component 210 is installed on site. After the first support component 210 is installed, the water tank is placed on the first support component 210 for support, thus eliminating the need for further suspension. Subsequently, the reinforced concrete ring plate 221 can be poured.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
