[0022] Example

[0023] I. Preparation

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this tooling is made of carbon steel.

[0025] 1. Preparation of shaft cylinder 1: A shaft cylinder 1 with a length of 1400mm is made using a carbon steel pipe with a diameter of 100mm. Starting from the upper end of the shaft cylinder 1, lines are engraved at 350mm, 700mm and 1050mm respectively. A groove with a depth of 100mm is opened at the center of the upper end face of the shaft cylinder 1 for the connection of the lifting lug 5.

[0026] 2. Preparation of balance plate 2: A square plate with a length of 1000mm, a width of 1000mm, and a thickness of 12mm is made from a carbon steel plate with a thickness of 12mm. A 105mm center hole is drilled in the center of the plate. Bolt holes 22 with a diameter of 18mm are drilled at the four corners of the balance plate 2 at a distance of 40mm from the edge. Two through holes 21 with a diameter of 100mm are drilled on the balance plate 2 at a distance of 150mm from the edge. The two through holes 21 are located on the diagonal of the balance plate 2.

[0027] 3. Preparation of cable tray 3: Three circular plates with a diameter of 400mm and a thickness of 10mm are made from carbon steel plates with a thickness of 10mm. A 105mm center hole is drilled in the center of each circular plate. A square hole 34 with a length of 100mm and a width of 50mm is drilled 100mm away from the center of the center hole.

[0028] 4. Bearing 4 is a commercially available bearing.

[0029] 5. Preparation of lifting lug 5: Use a carbon steel plate with a thickness of 12mm to make a plate with a length of 200mm, a width of 130mm and a thickness of 12mm, and drill a 50mm round hole 51 in the center of the plate.

[0030] 6. Assembly: The three cable distribution discs 3 are aligned with the center of the bearing 4 and welded together; the three welded cable distribution discs 3 are placed on the corresponding engraved lines of the shaft cylinder 1 and welded together; the shaft cylinder 1 is passed through the center hole of the balance plate 2 and welded together; the lifting lug 5 is installed on the upper end face of the shaft cylinder 1 and then welded together.

[0031] II. Usage

[0032] To fix the position of the balance plate 2, four aluminum plates are used at the center of the aluminum ceiling and bolted to the channel steel. Next, four 18mm diameter bolt holes are made on the upper surface of the channel steel, corresponding to the bolt holes 22 on the balance plate 2, and the balance plate 2 is fixed in position by bolts. After installation, it is lifted to the top of the storage tank along with the gas jack. To prevent this fixture from falling, a chain hoist is used to mechanically connect it to the lifting lug 5.
