[0002] The raw material workshop of a glass factory usually adopts a reinforced concrete frame structure. The traditional method of constructing the silo in the raw material workshop is to cast the reinforced concrete silo wall and the frame as a whole, and to pre-embed embedded parts at the lower ring beam of the silo, and then weld the steel silo cone to the embedded parts.

[0003] With changes in glass manufacturing processes and adjustments in production capacity, it is common to add new silos within existing raw material workshops. If this is done using traditional methods, adding reinforced concrete silos to an existing raw material workshop would significantly increase the load on the overall workshop frame due to the substantial weight of concrete, thereby affecting the overall structural strength. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to propose an installation structure for adding a silo to a workshop, which aims to solve the problem that the existing concrete silos place a large load on the workshop frame and affect the overall frame structure strength.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application proposes an installation structure for adding a silo to a workshop, comprising: a support structure, on which a steel silo is mounted, the support structure including multiple horizontal supports and multiple vertical supports, the multiple horizontal supports being fixedly mounted on corresponding vertical supports, the multiple horizontal supports being a two-layer structure for supporting the upper part of the silo and the middle part of the silo, and reinforcing brackets being provided at the intersections of the multiple horizontal supports with the corresponding vertical supports.

[0006] Optionally, the bracket includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate that are fixedly connected vertically. The vertical plate is fixedly connected to the vertical support by a plurality of anchor bolts. The horizontal plate abuts against the horizontal support. A reinforcing plate is also fixedly connected between the horizontal plate and the vertical plate. The reinforcing plate is respectively arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plate and the vertical plate.

[0007] Optionally, a plurality of wedge blocks are evenly arranged between the horizontal plate and the transverse support, and a pressing structure for pressing the wedge blocks is provided between the wedge blocks and the corresponding brackets.

[0008] Optionally, the press-fit structure includes a mounting block, which is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate and the reinforcing plate. A pressure rod parallel to the horizontal plate is provided below the horizontal plate. The first end of the pressure rod passes through the mounting block and is threaded to it. A support rod parallel to the pressure rod is provided below the pressure rod. The first end of the support rod is threaded to the mounting block. A pressure plate is provided between the second end of the support rod and the wedge block. The first end of the pressure plate presses on the outer end of the wedge block, and the second end of the pressure plate presses on the second end of the support rod. The second end of the pressure rod passes through the middle of the pressure plate, and a pressure block is fixedly provided on the second end of the pressure rod, with the pressure block abutting against the pressure plate.

[0009] Optionally, the outer side of the pressure block is configured as a hexagonal structure, and an adjustment block is provided in the middle of the support rod, the outer side of which is configured as a hexagonal structure.

[0010] Optionally, two limiting blocks are fixedly provided on the first end of the pressure plate, and the two limiting blocks are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the wedge block; a limiting groove is opened at the second end of the pressure plate corresponding to the support rod, and the support rod abuts in the limiting groove.

[0015] This technical solution employs a support structure upon which a steel silo is mounted. The support structure comprises multiple horizontal and vertical supports. The horizontal supports are fixedly installed on their corresponding vertical supports. These horizontal supports are arranged in two layers, supporting the upper and middle sections of the silo. Reinforcing brackets are installed at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical supports. The support structure forms a support frame through these layered horizontal and vertical supports. The upper layer supports the top of the silo, the middle layer supports the middle section, and the brackets provide localized reinforcement at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical supports. After installation, the load is transferred from the horizontal supports to the brackets and vertical supports. The lower horizontal supports provide primary support, bearing more of the load, while the upper horizontal supports provide auxiliary support, ensuring the silo's planar stability and preventing deformation. The brackets, by increasing the connection area, transform concentrated loads into distributed loads, reducing stress concentration and effectively resisting bending moments and shear forces.

[0030] With changes in glass manufacturing processes and adjustments in production capacity, it is common to add silos to existing raw material workshops. If this is done using traditional methods, adding reinforced concrete silos to an existing raw material workshop would significantly increase the load on the overall workshop frame due to the weight of the concrete, thus affecting the overall structural strength.

[0031] In view of this, this application proposes an installation structure for adding a material silo to a workshop.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 1 to 5 The above-mentioned workshop is equipped with a silo installation structure, including: a support structure 1, a silo 2 with a steel structure installed on the support structure 1, the support structure 1 including multiple horizontal supports 110 and multiple vertical supports 120, the multiple horizontal supports 110 being fixedly installed on the corresponding vertical supports 120, the multiple horizontal supports 110 being a two-layer structure for supporting the upper part of the silo 2 and the middle part of the silo 2, that is, the multiple horizontal supports 110 forming two rectangular frames 6 at the upper end and the middle of the silo 2 respectively, and respectively enclosing the silo 2, providing support for the upper end and the middle of the silo 2, and reinforcing brackets 130 are provided at the intersection of the multiple horizontal supports 110 and the corresponding vertical supports 120.

[0033] Specifically, the support structure 1 forms a support frame through upper and lower layered horizontal supports 110 and vertical supports 120. The upper layer supports the top of the silo 2, the middle layer supports the middle of the silo 2, and the brackets 130 provide local reinforcement at the intersection of the horizontal supports 110 and the vertical supports 120. After the silo 2 is installed, the load is transferred to the brackets 130 and the vertical supports 120 through the horizontal supports 110. The lower horizontal supports 110 play a major supporting role for the silo 2, bearing more of the load, while the upper horizontal supports 110 play an auxiliary supporting role, ensuring the planar stability of the silo 2 and preventing deformation. The brackets 130, by increasing the connection area, transform concentrated loads into distributed loads, reducing stress concentration and effectively resisting bending moments and shear forces. The layered support and bracket 130 design significantly increase the overall structural strength and improve the load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty silos 2. The steel silo 2 design reduces the overall load, and the layered support facilitates step-by-step installation, improving overall installation efficiency.

[0034] In other embodiments, to reduce costs, brackets may be provided only below the lateral support 110 used for main support; the lateral support 110 used for auxiliary support may not have brackets 130 installed because it is subjected to less load.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bracket 130 includes a horizontal plate 131 and a vertical plate 132 that are vertically fixedly connected. The vertical plate 132 is fixedly connected to the vertical support 120 by a plurality of anchor bolts 133. The horizontal plate 131 abuts against the horizontal support 110. A trapezoidal reinforcing plate 134 is also fixedly connected between the horizontal plate 131 and the vertical plate 132. The reinforcing plate 134 is respectively set perpendicular to the horizontal plate 131 and the vertical plate 132. The vertical plate 132 is fixed to the vertical support 120 by anchor bolts 133. The horizontal plate 131 supports the horizontal support 110. The reinforcing plate 134 enhances the connection rigidity between the horizontal plate 131 and the vertical plate 132. The reinforcing plate 134 changes the connection between the horizontal plate 131 and the vertical plate 132 from line contact to surface contact, disperses stress, and prevents tearing at the connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of wedge blocks 3 are evenly arranged between the horizontal plate 131 and the transverse support 110. A pressing structure 4 for pressing the wedge blocks 3 is provided between the wedge blocks 3 and the corresponding brackets 130. The wedge blocks 3 are installed between the horizontal plate 131 and the transverse support 110. Pressure is applied by the pressing structure 4 to make the wedge blocks 3 wedge tightly between the two. The pressing structure 4 presses the wedge blocks 3 tightly through mechanical transmission to ensure that the wedge blocks 3 fit tightly. The wedge blocks 3 can compensate for installation errors and ensure close contact between the transverse support 110 and the brackets 130.

[0037] In this embodiment, the press-fit structure 4 includes a mounting block 401, which is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 131 and a reinforcing plate 134. A pressure rod 402 parallel to the horizontal plate 131 is provided below the horizontal plate 131. The first end of the pressure rod 402 passes through the mounting block 401 and is threaded to it. A support rod 403 parallel to the pressure rod 402 is provided below the pressure rod 402. The first end of the support rod 403 is threaded to the mounting block 401, and the second end of the support rod 403 is threaded to the wedge block 3. A pressure plate 404 is installed between the pressure plates. The first end of the pressure plate 404 presses against the outer end of the wedge block 3, and the second end of the pressure plate 404 presses against the second end of the support rod 403. The second end of the pressure rod 402 passes through the middle of the pressure rod 402, and a pressure block 405 is fixedly installed on the second end of the pressure rod 402, which abuts against the pressure plate 404. The pressure rod 402 rotates through its threads, causing the pressure block 405 to press down on the pressure plate 404. The pressure plate 404 transmits force to the support rod 403 and the wedge block 3. The position of the support rod 403 is adjusted by its threads to ensure that the pressure plate 404 applies pressure evenly. The thread design of the pressure rod 402 and the support rod 403 can precisely control the pressure, similar to the principle of a mechanical jack. The press-fit structure 4 can be disassembled and repeatedly adjusted through its threads, facilitating maintenance or replacement of parts.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer side of the pressure block 405 is configured as a hexagonal structure, and an adjustment block 406 is provided in the middle of the support rod 403. The outer side of the adjustment block 406 is also configured as a hexagonal structure. The hexagonal structure of the pressure block 405 and the adjustment block 406 allows for rotation using tools such as wrenches to adjust the position of the pressure rod 402 and the support rod 403. The hexagonal design conforms to industrial standards, reduces maintenance costs, and improves operational convenience.

[0039] In this embodiment, two limiting blocks 407 are fixedly provided on the first end of the pressure plate 404, and the two limiting blocks 407 are located on the upper and lower sides of the wedge block 3 respectively; a limiting groove (not shown in the figure) is opened at the second end of the pressure plate 404 corresponding to the support rod 403, and the support rod 403 abuts in the limiting groove; the limiting blocks 407 are fixed on the pressure plate 404 to restrict the vertical displacement of the wedge block 3 and prevent the wedge block 3 from loosening due to vibration or load changes; the support rod 403 is inserted into the limiting groove to prevent the pressure plate 404 from rotating during installation; the limiting blocks 407 and the limiting groove form a physical constraint to ensure that the wedge block 3 maintains vertical stability during the pressing process; the limiting structure avoids accidental displacement of the wedge block 3 and enhances the safety of the connection.

[0040] In this embodiment, a guide groove 5 is provided on the horizontal plate 131 at the location corresponding to the wedge block 3 to guide the wedge block 3; the guide groove 5 is provided on the horizontal plate 131 to provide installation guidance for the wedge block 3. The geometry of the guide groove 5 matches the wedge block 3, and the installation direction is guided by sliding fit to reduce installation error.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support structure 1 is a reinforced concrete structure, the vertical support 120 is a reinforced concrete support column, and the horizontal support 110 is a reinforced concrete support beam; the high strength and durability of reinforced concrete material are suitable for heavy-load environments.

[0042] In this embodiment, the anchor 133 is a chemical anchor 133, and multiple anchors 133 are evenly distributed in a matrix. The chemical anchors 133 are evenly distributed in a matrix on the vertical plate 132 of the corbel 130 and are integrally connected to the concrete by an adhesive. The matrix distribution enables the load to be evenly transferred, avoiding single-point failure. The bonding effect of the chemical anchors 133 provides pull-out and shear resistance.

[0043] In other embodiments, the support structure 1 can directly utilize the existing floor structure within the workshop. Specifically, an opening can be made in the floor slab between the support beams, with the hopper 2 positioned within the opening. A rectangular frame 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the hopper 2, with the frame 6 resting on the existing floor's support beams. The aforementioned corbel 130 and press-fit structure 4 are then installed between the support beams and support columns to enhance the floor structure's load-bearing capacity. This approach effectively utilizes existing resources and reduces installation costs.

[0044] In other embodiments, the support structure 1 can also be a steel structure, with the vertical support 120 being a steel support column and the horizontal support 110 being a steel support beam; the steel support columns and beams are connected by bolts or welding, and the bracket 130 is integrated with the support structure 1 by bolts or welding; the lightweight and high-strength characteristics of the steel structure facilitate rapid installation, and the welding or bolting connection provides reliable node strength; in addition, the steel structure can be prefabricated and assembled on site, shortening the construction period, and is easy to modify or expand later, making it suitable for workshops with flexible layouts.

[0045] This technical solution employs a support structure upon which a steel silo is mounted. The support structure comprises multiple horizontal and vertical supports. The horizontal supports are fixedly installed on their corresponding vertical supports. These horizontal supports are arranged in two layers, supporting the upper and middle sections of the silo. Reinforcing brackets are installed at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical supports. The support structure forms a support frame through these layered horizontal and vertical supports. The upper layer supports the top of the silo, the middle layer supports the middle section, and the brackets provide localized reinforcement at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical supports. After installation, the load is transferred from the horizontal supports to the brackets and vertical supports. The lower horizontal supports provide primary support, bearing more of the load, while the upper horizontal supports provide auxiliary support, ensuring the silo's planar stability and preventing deformation. The brackets, by increasing the connection area, transform concentrated loads into distributed loads, reducing stress concentration and effectively resisting bending moments and shear forces. The layered support and corbel design significantly increase the overall structural strength and improve the load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty silos. The steel silo design can reduce the overall load, and the layered support facilitates step-by-step installation, thereby improving the overall installation efficiency.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
