Description
Technical Field

[0002] Shallow round silos, also known as low round silos, are cylindrical above-ground grain silos with a height-to-diameter ratio of less than 1.5. They are mostly flat-bottomed, and the main structure of the silo walls is mostly reinforced concrete. In the logistics and storage of raw grains, most materials are stored in bulk. Shallow round silos, as a type of material storage silo, such as grain storage silos, have advantages such as small footprint, large storage capacity, low cost per ton of grain, and high degree of mechanization. They have been widely used in domestic ports, wharves, and grain reserves.
[0003] With the continuous development of warehousing technology, the pipeline systems for shallow circular silos need to meet the requirements of material storage, transportation, ventilation, dust removal, monitoring, and safety. These pipelines typically include liquid transport pipelines, gas transport pipelines, and cable lines. Currently, traditional shallow circular silo bottom pipeline systems often use separate supports for each of the multiple professional pipelines (dust removal, ventilation, and automation). This approach results in a lack of unified planning and coordination during the installation of these various pipelines. Utility Model Content

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of this utility model, but are not limited thereto. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 This application provides a multi-pipeline composite support system for shallow circular silos, used to provide support, storage, and facilitate maintenance and organization of the pipelines required for shallow circular silos. The pipelines include liquid transport pipelines, gas transport pipelines, and cable lines.
[0038] Gas delivery pipelines are used to supply pressurized gases (such as air or inert gases) for airtight storage protection, to discharge gases (such as volatile gases), or for driving or pneumatic operation of control systems. Gas pipelines connect to gas interfaces (such as vents, exhaust pipes, and pressure regulating valves) in shallow circular silos, ensuring airtightness through sealed joints. The pipelines extend outside the silo, connecting to pressure regulating devices, gas supply sources (such as pressure tanks or compressed air systems), or exhaust systems to ensure a controllable gas environment within the silo. Multiple gas delivery pipelines can be used to deliver different gases.
[0039] Liquid transport pipelines transport liquid materials (such as water, oil, and chemical liquids) into or out of shallow circular silos.
[0040] The system is used for liquid level monitoring, liquid circulation, cooling, or heating within the storage tank. Liquid pipelines interface with the tank's inlets and outlets, typically equipped with sealing valves or isolation valves to ensure sealing and control. Pipelines are located at the bottom, top, or sides of the tank, connecting pumps, valves, and filtration equipment to enable liquid flow and monitoring. Multiple liquid transport pipelines can be used to transport different materials.
[0041] The cable lines connect sensors (level, pressure, temperature, gas composition analyzers), controllers, actuators (such as valve actuators, electric gates), and communication equipment (such as industrial Ethernet, wireless transmission modules). The cables extend from the instruments and sensors within the storage compartment, passing through sealed junction boxes or waterproof / explosion-proof connectors to the external control system. The wiring design considers vibration resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and fire resistance to ensure stable and reliable signal transmission.
[0042] In shallow circular silos, various pipes and cables work together through sealed connections and a rational layout to achieve the functions of storage, transportation, monitoring, and automatic control. Their core role in cooperating with the silo structure is to ensure airtightness, corrosion resistance, and signal integrity, thereby guaranteeing the safe, efficient, and automated operation of the storage system.
[0043] The shallow circular silo multi-pipeline composite support system includes multiple support components 1 and multiple load-bearing beam components 2. The multiple support components 1 are perpendicular to the ground and are arranged at intervals. Each load-bearing beam component 2 is connected to two oppositely arranged support components 1. This arrangement makes the entire support system form a stable frame structure, which can effectively provide support for multiple pipelines and avoid problems such as shaking and displacement of pipelines due to lack of support, thereby improving the stability and safety of pipelines.
[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, support assembly 1 includes a first support frame 11 and a second support frame 12, which are arranged in parallel opposite directions. The first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 are typically made of metal, such as carbon steel or stainless steel, which have good strength and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to the environment of a shallow circular silo. The first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 can be welded from channel steel, which has a certain bending resistance. The first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 are fixed to the ground by bolts, ensuring their parallel opposite state. This connection method is both secure and easy to install and disassemble. The parallel opposite arrangement of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 provides a stable connection foundation for the load-bearing beam assembly 2, allowing the load-bearing beam assembly 2 to be reliably installed between them.
[0045] Specifically, the load-bearing beam assembly 2 includes load-bearing beams 21 for supporting multiple pipelines, with the multiple load-bearing beams spaced apart. The load-bearing beams 21 can be steel beams or aluminum alloy beams. Steel beams have high strength and are suitable for supporting heavier pipelines; aluminum alloy beams are lightweight and easy to install and adjust. The load-bearing beams 21 are positioned between adjacent, spaced-apart first support frames 11 and second support frames 12. The spaced-apart load-bearing beams 21 can be adjusted according to the distribution and needs of different pipelines, better adapting to the support requirements of various pipelines. For example, different types of pipelines can be erected on load-bearing beams at different heights and positions, avoiding a chaotic arrangement of pipelines.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The supporting beam 21 includes a first supporting beam 211 for supporting the gas conveying pipeline, a second supporting beam 212 for supporting the liquid conveying pipeline, and a third supporting beam 213 for supporting the liquid conveying pipeline. The second supporting beam 212 is equipped with a cable tray assembly 3 for placing cable lines. The first supporting beam 211 has an arc-shaped structure, and its curvature matches the curvature of the gas conveying pipeline. The relationship between the arc length L of the first supporting beam 211 and the circumference C of the gas conveying pipeline is: 1 / 3C≤L≤1 / 2C. The arc-shaped structure of the first supporting beam 211 can better fit the gas conveying pipeline, increase the contact area, and improve the stability of the support.
[0047] The first load-bearing beam 211 can be manufactured using a casting process to ensure its curvature accuracy. Alternatively, it can be made by bending sheet metal. A rubber gasket 6 is installed between the first load-bearing beam 211 and the gas conveying pipeline. The rubber gasket 6 acts as a buffer and damper, reducing friction and wear between the pipeline and the load-bearing beam, and also reducing noise generated by pipeline vibration. The rubber gasket 6 can be made of materials such as nitrile rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance.
[0048] The cable tray assembly 3 on the second load-bearing beam 212 is a splicable design. The cable tray assembly 3 includes multiple steel profiles 31, with each pair of adjacent steel profiles 31 fixedly connected by a connecting plate 32. The steel profiles 31 can be channel steel, providing good structural strength. The connecting plate 32 can be made of steel plate, and is bolted to the steel profiles 31. This splicable design facilitates the installation and disassembly of the cable tray assembly 3 and allows for adjustments based on the number and routing of cable lines.
[0049] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The third supporting beam 213 is connected with a limiting component 5. A sliding groove 2132 extending laterally is provided on the side of the third supporting beam 213 away from the ground. The sliding groove 2132 can be a U-shaped groove. Multiple sets of sliding limiting components 5 are installed within the sliding groove 2132 to restrict the horizontal movement of the liquid conveying pipeline within the third supporting beam 213. Each set of limiting components 5 includes two sliding blocks 51 and two limiting rods 52 located inside the sliding groove 2132. The sliding blocks 51 can move within the sliding groove 2132, and the limiting rods 52 are fixedly connected to the sliding blocks 51. The sliding blocks 51 can be made of plastic or metal and have good wear resistance. The limiting rods 52 can be round or square rods and are fixed to the sliding blocks 51 by welding or bolting.
[0050] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5An adjustment mechanism 53 is provided between two adjacent sets of limiting components 5. The adjustment mechanism 53 includes an adjustment sleeve 531, a nut 532, and a threaded rod 533. The adjustment sleeve 531 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 51 and is arranged parallel to the sliding groove 2132. The threaded rod 533 is fixedly mounted on the adjacent sliding block 51. The nut 532 is sleeved on the threaded rod 533 and abuts against the adjustment sleeve 531. The threaded rod 533 is arranged parallel to the adjustment sleeve 531 and passes through the adjustment sleeve 531. The adjustment sleeve 531 is a hollow cylindrical structure. By rotating the nut 532, the distance between the two adjacent sets of limiting components 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the limiting rod 52 to clamp and fix the liquid conveying pipeline, thus adapting to liquid conveying pipelines of different diameters.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The system also includes a height adjustment component 4, which comprises a slide rail 41 disposed on the opposite side of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12, and a fixing rod 42. The second bearing beam 212 and the third bearing beam 213 can slide on the slide rail 41. The slide rail 41 can be a linear guide rail, providing good guidance. The first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 each have correspondingly spaced height adjustment holes 100 on their sides, which penetrate the slide rail 41. The second bearing beam 212 and the third bearing beam 213 each have circular through holes 2131 that mate with the height adjustment holes 100. The second bearing beam 212 and the third bearing beam 213 are fixed between the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 by the fixing rod 42. By adjusting the positions of the second bearing beam 212 and the third bearing beam 213 on the slide rail 41, and inserting the fixing rod 42 into the corresponding height adjustment hole 100 and circular through hole 2131, the height of the second bearing beam 212 and the third bearing beam 213 can be adjusted to meet the installation height requirements of different pipelines.
[0052] The implementation principle of the shallow circular silo multi-pipeline composite support system in this application embodiment is as follows: a stable frame structure is constructed by multiple support components 1 and load-bearing beam components 2, which can provide reasonable support for various types of pipelines. Different types of load-bearing beams are used to support gas pipelines, liquid pipelines, and cable lines respectively, avoiding mutual interference between pipelines and making the pipeline arrangement more orderly. The arc-shaped structure of the first load-bearing beam 211 and the setting of the rubber gasket 6 improve the stability and safety of the support for the gas pipeline; the splicable design of the cable tray component 3 facilitates the installation and adjustment of cable lines; the limiting component 5 and the adjusting mechanism 53 on the third load-bearing beam 213 can adapt to liquid pipelines of different diameters and limit their horizontal movement; the second load-bearing beam 212 and the third load-bearing beam 213 can slide on the slide rail 41 and be height-adjusted by the height adjustment hole 100 and the fixed rod 42, further enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the entire support system.
[0053] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
