Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fully liquid-contact floating roof technology, specifically to an adjustable fully liquid-contact floating roof telescopic bladder bracket seat. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of fully contact floating roofs (FLOPS), manufacturers have encountered some uncontrollable or difficult-to-control situations during engineering practice. For example, before designing a fully contact FLOPS, it is essential to conduct on-site measurements (tank measurement) of the storage tank to determine its location, including the tank center, waveguide position, and waveguide verticality. The design and production of the FLOPS are then based on these measurements. The design of the waveguide expansion sleeve and its mounting bracket must also be based on the tank measurements. Although the positions and dimensions of all accessories related to the FLOPS within the tank, including the waveguide, have been rigorously measured, and the FLOPS is designed meticulously based on these measurements, various constraints inevitably lead to dimensional deviations during on-site installation. This results in misalignment (non-concentricity) between the mounting bracket and the waveguide, and the location of this misalignment is often uncertain. In such a situation, the company must be notified immediately, and the design, production, and quality control departments must be mobilized to redesign, reproduce, and reship the parts based on the remeasured data. The replacement parts with adjusted dimensions must be delivered to the site in a very short time to ensure that the overall project schedule is not affected.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an adjustable telescopic bladder bracket for the fully liquid-contact floating roof to solve the installation problem of misalignment and non-concentricity between the actual and designed positions of the bracket. Without returning to the factory or redesigning, an innovative design of the bracket assembly structure can be used to balance the error between the actual and designed positions by adjusting its own position, thereby making the bracket fit the waveguide installation requirements and installing the bracket in place after adjustment. This is the direction for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an adjustable fully-contact liquid float with a telescopic bladder bracket includes a waveguide 1, an upper body pipe 2, an upper body adjusting plate 3, a lower body pipe 4, a mounting box 5, a docking flange 6, and connecting screws 7.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the movable adjusting upper body assembly is equipped with a movable waveguide 1. The waveguide 1 is a vertical tube inside the tank that comes with the storage tank. The tube has a vent hole. When the floating roof is installed, it needs to pass through the floating roof, so the floating roof must be designed to match it. The lower end of the waveguide 1 extends into the fixed lower body assembly but does not contact it. An installation box 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed lower body assembly. The inner diameter of the fixed lower body assembly is larger than the inner diameter of the movable adjusting upper body assembly. The lower end of the movable adjusting upper body assembly is sealed to the upper end of the fixed lower body assembly.

[0021] The movable adjustment upper body assembly includes an upper body tube 2 and an upper body adjustment plate 3. The upper body tube 2 is spaced apart on the outer periphery of the waveguide 1. The upper body tube 2 is detachable along the circumferential direction on the outer side of the upper body tube 2. The upper body adjustment plate 3 is evenly provided with connection holes. The lower end of the upper body adjustment plate 3 is sealed to the fixed lower body assembly.

[0022] The fixed lower body assembly includes a lower body pipe 4 and a docking flange 6. The bottom of the upper body adjusting plate 3 is sealed and fixed to the docking flange 6. The docking flange 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower body pipe 4. The lower body pipe 4 is located inside the mounting box 5.

[0023] This invention achieves omnidirectional adjustability by designing both the upper adjusting plate 3 and the lower connecting pipe 4 as circular shapes. The upper adjusting plate 3 allows for adjustable movement of the waveguide 1 and upper connecting pipe 2 in any direction, offering strong applicability and eliminating concerns about deviations in the waveguide 1. This omnidirectional adjustability greatly facilitates on-site installation of the floating roof, adding a crucial element to the standardization of the entire floating roof system. No factory return or redesign is required. Utilizing an innovative design of the half-seat assembly structure, the half-seat adjusts its position to balance the error between the actual and designed positions, ensuring the half-seat conforms to the waveguide installation requirements.

[0024] The upper body pipe 2 has a diameter of 410mm; the lower body pipe 4 has a diameter of 610mm, thus allowing the upper body pipe 2 to have an adjustment range of 100mm during installation and commissioning.

[0025] A sealing strip is affixed to the upper end of the mating flange 6. The connection hole is fixedly connected to the mating flange 6 by connecting screws 7.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The lower body connector 4 is normally installed and fixed into the installation housing 5. After the lower body connector 4 is installed, the construction worker performs a measurement to check whether the distance between the waveguide 1 and the lower body connector 4 is uniform. Twelve points can be measured evenly at 30-degree intervals. If the data are inconsistent, it indicates that the center of the lower body connector 4 has shifted relative to the center of the waveguide 1. At this point, the upper body adjustment plate 3 is moved to adjust and correct the concentricity of the upper body connector 2 and the waveguide 1, ensuring that the distance between the walls of the upper body connector 2 and the waveguide 1 is consistent. After adjustment, the holes of the lower body connector 4's connecting flange 6 are aligned with the holes on the upper body adjustment plate 3, and the hole positions are marked. Connection holes are precisely drilled on-site. Then, a 40mm*3mm sealing strip is placed on the upper surface of the connecting flange 6. Finally, the upper body adjustment plate 3 and the connecting flange 6 are connected and fixed using connecting screws 7, thus completing all adjustment and installation work.

[0027] This invention's adjustment method is simple and easy for on-site personnel to master and operate. Regardless of the direction in which the matching waveguide 1 shifts, installers can quickly measure the precise adjustment position with a regular measuring tape and then fix it in place. This saves a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. This invention can accommodate adjustments within 100mm, thus covering over 98% of installation conditions in actual installation scenarios without requiring modifications or the activation of emergency procedures. This greatly contributes to the smooth progress of the entire project and ensures timely completion.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, or improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model.
