Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembled tank structures, and in particular to an assembled tank top cover support device. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, most large assembled tanks (such as enamel assembled tanks, vertical cylindrical storage tanks, etc.) adopt an arc or conical structure on the top. In rainy or snowy weather, when rainwater and snow fall onto the top of the assembled tank using the above structure, a downward component force is generated. This component force will drive the rainwater and snow to slide down along the top wall of the tank.

[0003] However, the aforementioned structures, namely curved or conical structures, are generally made by stretching malleable metals in the current production process. Malleable metals themselves have varying strengths. Therefore, after the assembled tank is installed, it is very easy for concentrated forces, such as workers stepping on it, to cause a dented structure.

[0004] If such dents are not repaired over a long period, they will gradually widen due to the accumulation of water or snow, eventually causing the tank top to collapse. Therefore, finding a convenient way to repair dents is a problem that needs to be solved at this stage.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembly tank top cover support device, which can: 1. support the recessed area of ​​the tank top to restore its shape; 2. facilitate installation and enable rapid repair during the repair process using an elastic support plate, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a support device for the top cover of an assembled tank. The support device includes a main frame 1 for supporting the top of the tank and an elastic support plate 2 installed on the main frame 1 for supporting the recessed parts of the top of the tank. In other words, the elastic support plate 2 described in this application does not need to be installed during the initial assembly of the assembled tank. When a local recess appears on the top of the tank, the maintenance personnel can add the elastic support plate 2.

[0022] The main frame 1 includes multiple end-connected support rods 11, which are made of structural steel. The multiple support rods 11 are directly connected or connected together to a connecting member 12. In this embodiment, the multiple support rods 11 are connected together to a connecting member 12. The structure of the connecting member 12 can be configured as needed; it can be a columnar structure or, as shown in this embodiment, a ring structure. Its peripheral wall has multiple points for connecting the support rods 11, which are evenly spaced around the perimeter. Each point has a connecting lug, which is connected to the end of the support rod 11 by long bolts. The supporting surface of the support rod 11 is in contact with the tank top. Therefore, the support rod 11 needs to be selected according to the type of tank top. For example, if the tank top is conical, the support rod 11 can be a straight rod; if the tank top is an arc-shaped curved surface, the support rod 11 can be an arc-shaped rod. To ensure that the support rod 11 can fit and support the top of the tank, the other end of the support rod 11 is connected to the tank wall. This connection method also adopts a fixed connection, such as the traditional method of using long bolts for fixing.

[0023] See Figure 3 During the installation process, the elastic support plate 2 is connected at its end to the support rod 11 at the adjacent position, and its part is in contact with the top of the tank. At this time, after installation, the elastic support plate 2 will generate a lifting force in the middle of the deformed part after installation. When this part comes into contact with the concave part of the top of the tank, it will drive the concave part to be subjected to the lifting force and return to the initial state. At the same time, it will always support this part to prevent it from concave again.

[0024] In the first embodiment, an embedding groove 3 is provided on the mounting surface where the support rod 11 connects to the elastic support plate 2. During installation, the end of the elastic support plate 2 is inserted into the embedding groove 3. It should be noted that the depth of the embedding groove 3 needs to be limited to ensure that the middle of the installed elastic support plate 2 forms a convex deformation area. Of course, multiple embedding grooves 3 are provided and distributed along the extension direction of the support rod 11, allowing for the insertion of multiple elastic support plates 2 as needed, or facilitating the adjustment of the position of the installed elastic support plates 2. This insertion connection method makes the installation of the elastic support plate 2 convenient and enables rapid repair.

[0025] In the second embodiment, positioning connection holes are provided at the predetermined position of the support rod 11 and at the end of the elastic support plate 2; a fastener that connects the two is installed in the positioning connection hole, and the fastener can be a long bolt.

[0026] In the third embodiment, an optimization is made based on the first and second embodiments. A support column 4 extends below the connector 12, with its bottom connected to the tank bottom and its top abutting against the tank top. A protrusion 41 is provided at a predetermined position on the side wall of the support column 4. A push rod 5 abuts at the middle position where the elastic support plate 2 fits against the tank top, with the other end of the push rod 5 abutting against the protrusion 41. The push rod 5 assists in supporting the elastic support plate 2, ensuring the lifting effect produced by its outward convex center.

[0027] In summary, this utility model provides an assembly tank top cover support device, including a main frame for supporting the tank top and an elastic support plate installed on the main frame for supporting the recessed area of ​​the tank top. The main frame includes multiple end-connected support rods, which are made of structural steel; the multiple support rods are directly connected or connected together to a connecting member; the multiple support rods are connected together to a connecting member, which is a ring structure with multiple connection points for the support rods on its peripheral wall, and the multiple points are equally spaced around the ring; the supporting surface of the support rod is in contact with the tank top, and the other end of the support rod is connected to the tank wall, which is also a fixed connection. During installation, the elastic support plate is connected at its end to the support rod at an adjacent position, and its part is in contact with the tank top. At this time, after installation, the elastic support plate deforms and generates a lifting force in the middle, which contacts the recessed area of ​​the tank top, causing the recessed area to be subjected to the lifting force and return to its initial state, while always supporting the area and preventing it from sinking again. This utility model can: 1. support the recessed area on the top of the tank to restore its shape; 2. utilize the elastic support plate during the repair process, which is easy to install, enables rapid repair, and improves work efficiency.

[0028] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
