Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel chimney technology, and in particular to a load-bearing device and chimney that facilitates the assembly of a fiberglass inner cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] Chimney inner cylinders are typically made of stainless steel or fiberglass. When stainless steel or other metals are used for the inner cylinder, the material is isotropic, the manufacturing process is mature, and the tensile, compressive, and bending mechanical properties are similar. Generally, the load is transferred from the inner cylinder to the outer cylinder by bottom support.
[0003] From the perspective of corrosion resistance and economic performance, fiberglass inner cylinders offer a high cost-performance ratio. However, when fiberglass is used for the inner cylinder, the material is anisotropic and is formed by hand lay-up of resin and glass fiber. The mechanical properties along the fiber direction and perpendicular to the fiber direction differ greatly. In addition, different workers use different hand lay-up methods, resulting in significant differences in mechanical properties. This makes it impossible to use conventional bottom-bearing methods for fiberglass inner cylinders, which brings great trouble to the assembly of sleeve chimneys using fiberglass inner cylinders. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a load-bearing device and chimney with an easy-to-assemble fiberglass inner cylinder, which has the advantage of reducing the assembly difficulty of the sleeve chimney with a fiberglass inner cylinder.
[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A load-bearing device for easy assembly of a fiberglass inner cylinder includes a support structure fixed to the inner wall of a steel outer cylinder, a load-bearing ring structure fixed to the outer wall of the fiberglass inner cylinder and erected on the support structure, and a reinforcing boss fixed to the outer wall of the fiberglass inner cylinder and located above the load-bearing ring structure.
[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the load-bearing ring structure includes two load-bearing half-rings and a fastener connecting the two load-bearing half-rings so that the two load-bearing half-rings are clamped onto the fiberglass inner cylinder.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the load-bearing semi-ring includes an arc-shaped load-bearing frame and two fixing plates respectively fixed at both ends of the arc-shaped load-bearing frame.
[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are fixedly provided inside the arc-shaped load-bearing frame.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the arc-shaped load-bearing frame includes a lower arc plate, an upper arc plate located on the lower arc plate, and two side arc plates respectively connected to the upper arc plate and the lower arc plate.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing plate has a rectangular structure.
[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing plate has a trapezoidal structure.
[0013] This utility model also provides a chimney for assembling a fiberglass inner cylinder, including a steel outer cylinder, a fiberglass inner cylinder assembled inside the steel outer cylinder, and the aforementioned load-bearing device, wherein the load-bearing device is installed on the fiberglass inner cylinder.
[0014] As described above, the load-bearing device and chimney of this utility model, which facilitates the assembly of a fiberglass inner cylinder, have the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. During assembly, the fiberglass inner cylinder can be pushed into the steel outer cylinder. The load-bearing ring structure is erected on the support structure and fits snugly against the support structure. The support structure plays a load-bearing role. The fiberglass inner cylinder is suspended in the steel outer cylinder through the load-bearing ring structure and the support structure, which reduces the assembly difficulty of the sleeve chimney using the fiberglass inner cylinder; and the load of the fiberglass inner cylinder is transferred to the steel outer cylinder through the support structure, improving the overall stability of the chimney.
[0016] 2. A reinforcing boss is provided on the outer wall of the fiberglass inner cylinder located above the load-bearing ring structure. The reinforcing boss is used to increase the wall thickness of the fiberglass, thereby increasing the local load-bearing capacity.
[0017] 3. The load-bearing ring structure includes two load-bearing half-rings and fasteners. The two load-bearing half-rings can be clamped onto the fiberglass inner cylinder by the fasteners. The load-bearing ring structure adopts a split design, which is convenient for installation and adjustment and reduces the difficulty of construction. Attached Figure Description
