Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this application discloses a base for facilitating the maintenance of a desulfurization tower gas storage tank, including a guide ring 2, a pedal 1, a connecting rod 5, a base body, a first support leg 3, a second support leg 4, and a locking assembly. The guide ring 2 is arranged along the periphery of the base body. One end of the connecting rod 5 is hinged to the first support leg 3 via a first pivot 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 5 is hinged to the second support leg 4 via a second pivot 7. The first support leg 3 is slidably connected to the guide ring 2, so that the pedal 1 can move along the guide ring 2, making it convenient for workers to step on the pedal 1 to inspect the periphery of the tank. The second support leg 4 is located on the side of the pedal 1 away from the base body. The locking assembly is disposed between the pedal 1 and the second support leg 4, and when the pedal 1 is placed horizontally, the locking assembly locks the pedal 1 and the second support leg 4.

[0028] In one implementation, the locking assembly includes a bolt 8 and a limiting plate 9; the second rotating shaft 7 has a mounting hole, and when the pedal 1 is placed horizontally, the bolt 8 passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 9; the limiting plate 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pedal 1. Thus, by threading the bolt 8 through the second rotating shaft 7 and the limiting plate 9, the second support leg 4 will not rotate relative to the connecting rod 5, ensuring the stability of the pedal 1 during use.

[0029] In practice, the mounting hole can also be designed as a threaded hole that matches bolt 8.

[0030] To facilitate use by people of different heights, the heights of the first support leg 3 and the second support leg 4 are designed to be adjustable. To prevent excessive friction between the first support leg 3 and the second support leg 4 and the ground, making movement difficult, casters 10 can be provided at the bottom of both the first support leg 3 and the second support leg 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the first support leg 3 includes a first outer shell 31 and a first inner rod 32. The lower end of the first inner rod 32 is slidably installed inside the first outer shell 31. The upper end of the first inner rod 32 is fixedly provided with two first connecting ears 33. The cross-section of the first inner rod 32 is rectangular. Of course, in specific implementations, the cross-section of the first inner rod 32 can also be a polygon such as a pentagon or hexagon. One end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably installed between the two first connecting ears 33 via the first rotating shaft 6.

[0032] The first outer casing 31 is provided with a first locking screw 34, which is threadedly connected to the first outer casing 31. One end of the first locking screw 34 abuts against the first inner rod 32, locking the first inner rod 32. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the first support leg 3, the first locking screw 34 is rotated to disengage from the first inner rod 32, and the first inner rod 32 is pulled upward or pushed downward to adjust to the required height. Then, the first locking screw 34 is rotated in the opposite direction to abut against the first inner rod 32 again, thus achieving the limiting and fixing of the first inner rod 32 and the first outer casing 31.

[0033] In one implementation, a rotating ring 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide ring 2, and the first outer shell 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 11. The rotating ring 11 can be formed by welding two half-rings together, thus facilitating the placement of the rotating ring 11 on the outer side of the guide ring 2.

[0034] The second support leg 4 includes a second outer shell 41 and a second inner rod 42. The lower end of the second inner rod 42 is slidably installed inside the second outer shell 41. The upper end of the second inner rod 42 is provided with two second connecting ears 43. The other end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably installed between the two second connecting ears 43 through the second rotating shaft 7.

[0035] The second outer casing 41 is provided with a second locking screw 44, which is threadedly connected to the second outer casing 41. One end of the second locking screw 44 abuts against the second inner rod 42, locking the second inner rod 42. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the second support leg 4, rotate the second locking screw 44 so that the second locking screw 44 no longer abuts against the second inner rod 42. Pull the second inner rod 42 upward or push it downward to adjust the length of the second inner rod 42 extending out of the second outer casing 41. When the desired height is reached, rotate the second locking screw 44 in the opposite direction so that the second locking screw 44 abuts against the second inner rod 42 again, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing between the second inner rod 42 and the second outer casing 41.

[0036] Furthermore, the pedal 1 is provided with a magnet 12 for attracting the pedal 1 to the can on the base after it is folded up.

[0037] In one implementation, a mounting groove 101 is formed on the upper surface of the pedal 1. A connecting plate 13 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 101, and the magnet 12 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 13. When the pedal 1 is placed vertically, the connecting plate 13 protrudes from the mounting groove 101. When the pedal 1 is placed horizontally, the connecting plate 13, along with the magnet 12, retracts into the mounting groove 101 under its own weight. This avoids the connecting plate 13 and the magnet 12 protruding from the surface of the pedal 1 when the pedal 1 is placed horizontally, thus preventing them from interfering with the worker standing on the pedal 1. The curvature of the connecting plate 13 and the magnet 12 is the same as the curvature of the can body, ensuring that the connecting plate 13 and the magnet 12 can fit tightly against the surface of the can body.

[0038] In one implementation, a limiting frame 14 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 101, and a guide rod 15 is slidably installed in the limiting frame 14. One end of the guide rod 15 extends out of the limiting frame 14 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 13, and the other end of the guide rod 15 is fixedly connected to the baffle 16 located in the limiting frame 14.

[0039] When in use, the pedal 1 is placed horizontally, the first leg 3 and the second leg 4 are supported on the ground, and then the bolt 8 is threaded through the second pivot 7 and connected to the limit plate 9. After that, the staff can step on the pedal 1 to inspect the tank on the seat body.

[0040] Workers can adjust the height of the first leg 3 and the second leg 4 as needed to adjust the height of the pedal 1. By rotating the pedal 1 to different positions around the base body, it is convenient to inspect different areas of the tank.

[0041] When pedal 1 is not in use, pedal 1, along with connecting rod 5, is rotated upward around the first pivot 6, so that magnet 12 is magnetically attracted to the tank. At the same time, bolt 8 is rotated to disengage bolt 8 from limit plate 9. Second support leg 4 is rotated downward around second pivot 7, so that second outer shell 41 is placed on one side of pedal 1, reducing the horizontal space occupied by pedal 1 and ensuring normal work of staff.
