Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for horizontal pressure vessels, and more specifically, to an auxiliary tooling for moving large horizontal pressure vessels. Background Technology

[0002] Large horizontal pressure vessels are widely used in the metallurgical and chemical industries. However, since they are primarily used as auxiliary equipment, their installation locations are generally relatively confined, often within the available space between various equipment. During construction, the equipment is typically installed sequentially from the inside out, which usually presents no installation difficulties. However, after prolonged operation and reaching the end of its service life, replacement is often necessary. In confined spaces, direct disassembly / lifting using hoisting equipment is often difficult. While segmented installation / disassembly can achieve equipment replacement, it is less efficient, and segmented installation inevitably negatively impacts the overall accuracy and service life of the equipment. Therefore, developing a tooling system capable of replacing large horizontal pressure vessels within confined spaces is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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 illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0020] Due to the installation location of large pressure vessels, cranes are not suitable for direct lifting. The equipment must be disassembled and transported to the crane's lifting range using tooling and a load-bearing flatbed cart before it can be lifted out. Therefore, as shown in the figure, this utility model discloses an auxiliary tooling for moving large horizontal pressure vessels, including two parallel load-bearing saddles 1. The bottom of each load-bearing saddle 1 is mounted on a support frame 2. The two support frames 2 are connected by several horizontal connecting frames 3. The lower ends of both sides of the support frame 2 are respectively mounted on outriggers 4. The lower ends of the outriggers 4 are mounted on a base 5. The lower ends of the base 5 are placed on a load-bearing flatbed cart. Jack brackets 6 are installed on the outer sides of each outrigger 4.

[0021] The supporting saddle 1 can support large pressure vessels, and its structure prevents the large pressure vessels from rolling during movement. Four load-bearing flatbed trolleys can move the entire auxiliary tooling, thereby moving the large pressure vessel. This invention features a compact overall structure, enabling the movement of large horizontal pressure vessels.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the supporting saddle 1 includes two support plates 11 and a connecting plate 12. The two support plates 11 are arranged in parallel, and their bottoms are mounted on a support frame 2. The connecting plate 12 connects the two support plates 11, and the connecting plate 12 is also arranged in parallel. The upper end of each support plate 11 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 111. The supporting saddle 1 uses the two support plates 11 to directly contact and support the large container, while the arc-shaped groove 111 prevents the large pressure container from rolling during movement.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support frame 2 includes a top support plate 21, a bottom support plate 22, and a middle support plate 23. The middle support plate 23 connects the top support plate 21 and the bottom support plate 22. The bottoms of two support plates 11 are installed on both sides of the top support plate 21. The support frame 2 serves to install the load-bearing saddle 1 and also disperses stress.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of reinforcing support plates 24 are installed between the supporting top plate 21 and the supporting bottom plate 22. All reinforcing support plates 24 are located directly below the supporting saddle 1. The number of reinforcing support plates 24 located on the outer side of the supporting middle plate 23 exceeds the number located on the inner side of the supporting middle plate 23. This is because the horizontal connecting frame 3 blocks the installation position of the reinforcing support plates 24, and the horizontal connecting frame 3 also serves a reinforcing function. The reinforcing support plates 24 located on the inner side of the supporting middle plate 23 are located between two horizontal connecting frames 3. The reinforcing support plates 24 serve to reinforce the supporting top plate 21.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, two reinforcing rods 7 are provided between the two legs 4 located at the lower end of the support frame 2. The two reinforcing rods 7 are arranged crosswise and connect the two ends of the legs 4. The reinforcing rods 7 are used to strengthen the fixation and prevent the legs from tilting.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, two reinforcing rods 8 are provided between the legs 4 on the same side of the two bases 5, and the two reinforcing rods 8 are arranged crosswise. The reinforcing rods 8 serve to strengthen and fix the structure.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, both reinforcing rod 7 and reinforcing rod 8 are channel plates. The channel plates themselves serve to disperse stress.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support leg 4 includes two side plates 41 and a side plate connecting plate 42. Both the side plates 41 and the side plate connecting plate 42 are vertically arranged. The side plate connecting plate 42 connects the middle of the two side plates 41, and the jack bracket 6 is installed at the side plate connecting plate 42. The support leg 4 is used to install both the support frame 2 and the jack bracket 6. The bottom of the jack is placed on the ground, and the output end of the jack is placed at the jack bracket 6. The entire auxiliary fixture is lifted by four jacks, and then a load-bearing flatbed cart is placed on it.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the jack bracket 6 includes a bracket top plate 61, a bracket bottom plate 62, a bracket connecting plate 63, and a bracket reinforcing plate 64. The bracket connecting plate 63 connects the bracket top plate 61 and the bracket bottom plate 62, and the bracket reinforcing plate 64 connects the bracket top plate 61 and the side plate connecting plate 42. One side of each of the bracket top plate 61, bracket bottom plate 62, bracket connecting plate 63, and bracket reinforcing plate 64 is mounted on the side plate connecting plate 42. The output end of the jack contacts the bracket bottom plate 62, and the bracket top plate 61 and bracket connecting plate 63 help to distribute the stress on the bracket bottom plate 62. The bracket reinforcing plate 62 is used to reinforce the bracket top plate 61.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
