Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pier structure technology, and more specifically, to a pier structure for steel structure painting. Background Technology
[0002] Steel structure painting is a crucial step in many industries such as construction, bridge and shipbuilding. Its main purpose is to prevent corrosion, extend service life and improve aesthetics by applying a protective coating to the surface of the steel structure.
[0003] In related technologies, steel structure painting operations typically involve evenly arranging multiple supports under the steel structure to stabilize it and ensure sufficient working space at the bottom. In this method, areas of the steel structure obscured by the supports are often gradually recoated after the overall painting process is completed. However, because the entire coating structure in the support area is created through post-painting, there is a clear boundary and difference between this area and the uncovered areas, affecting the uniformity of the coating and resulting in poor painting quality. Furthermore, the support area is relatively small and easily overlooked during storage and transfer, causing the recoating in these areas to be damaged before reaching sufficient hardness, further affecting the painting effect and necessitating secondary recoating. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem this invention solves is how to improve the coating effect of steel structures and avoid secondary recoating.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a support structure for steel structure painting, comprising multiple supports located below the steel structure and supporting the steel structure in batches. Each support includes a lifting device, a rigid frame, and a rubber pad. The rigid frame is vertically mounted on the lifting device, and the rubber pad is located at the end of the rigid frame away from the lifting device in the vertical direction. When the lifting device is raised, the rubber pad is configured to abut against the steel structure.
[0006] Optionally, the support also includes a pressure sensor located at the connection between the rigid frame and the rubber pad. When the lifting device is raised, the pressure sensor is configured to display the contact pressure.
[0007] Optionally, the support pier further includes a flexible strain sensor, which is disposed on the side of the rigid frame.
[0008] Optionally, the support also includes a non-contact paint film thickness gauge, which is located on the side of the rigid frame.
[0009] Optionally, the rigid frame is provided with angle steel inside.
[0010] Optionally, stiffening plates are provided inside the rigid frame.
[0011] Optionally, the support also includes a first rotating telescopic rod, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the rigid frame, and the movable end of which is connected to the flexible strain sensor.
[0012] Optionally, the support also includes a second rotating telescopic rod, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the rigid frame, and the movable end of which is connected to a non-contact paint film thickness gauge.
[0013] Optionally, multiple supports are symmetrically arranged below the steel structure.
[0014] Optionally, the support pier also includes an environmental sensor, which is located on the side of the rigid frame.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model on the support structure for steel structure painting are:
[0016] By placing a rigid frame on a lifting device and a rubber pad at the end of the rigid frame vertically away from the lifting device, the rigid frame rises with the lifting device when it is raised, allowing the rubber pad to contact the steel structure and support it for painting. The rubber pad also protects the rigid frame and steel structure, providing cushioning and shock absorption, ensuring stable support for the supports and further guaranteeing the painting effect. During painting, multiple supports support the steel structure in batches under the action of the support lifting device. This allows for phased and area-by-area painting of the supported sections, preventing missed areas from concentrating in the same region. This ensures no clear boundary or difference between the supported and unsupported areas, guaranteeing uniform coating consistency and improving the painting effect. Furthermore, the timely raising and lowering of the supports reveals the supported areas in advance, increasing their visibility and importance, allowing for timely painting and achieving sufficient hardness, improving the painting effect and avoiding the need for secondary touch-ups.

[0025] In response to the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a support structure for steel structure painting, including multiple supports 1, which are disposed below the steel structure 2 and support the steel structure 2 in batches. Each support 1 includes a lifting device 11, a rigid frame 12, and a rubber pad 13. The rigid frame 12 is vertically disposed on the lifting device 11, and the rubber pad 13 is disposed at the end of the rigid frame 12 away from the lifting device 11 in the vertical direction. When the lifting device 11 is raised, the rubber pad 13 is configured to abut against the steel structure 2.
[0026] Specifically, the support structure used for steel structure painting includes multiple supports 1, which are located below the steel structure 2, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple supports 1 are evenly arranged at the support positions below the steel structure 2 to stably elevate the steel structure 2 and ensure sufficient working space at the bottom of the steel structure 2. The supports 1 are liftable, and multiple supports 1 support the steel structure 2 in batches, such as... Figure 1 As shown, taking a support structure consisting of four supports 1 as an example, during painting, two of the four supports 1 are raised to support the steel structure 2, while the other two supports 1 are temporarily not supporting the steel structure 2. After the areas of the steel structure 2 not covered by the supports 1 are painted, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, two additional supports 1 that are temporarily not supporting the steel structure 2 are raised to support the steel structure 2, while the two supports 1 that originally supported the steel structure 2 are lowered. This allows for timely coating of the areas covered by the original supports 1, ensuring good interfacial bonding between the coating at each support location and the coatings at adjacent locations, as well as between preceding and subsequent coatings. This effectively improves the overall quality and uniformity of the coating in the support area. Figure 3 As shown, the support pier 1 includes a lifting device 11, a rigid frame 12, and a rubber pad 13. The lifting device 11 can be a vertical transportation device such as a lifting platform or a lift. It can be driven by a scissor mechanism through hydraulic, electric, or other power systems to extend and retract, thereby raising and lowering the support pier 1. The rigid frame 12 is a frame structure. The rigid frame 12 is vertically mounted on the lifting device 11. While achieving the support function, it can reduce wind resistance and ensure the stability of the support. The rubber pad 13 is adapted to the shape of the end (upper end) of the rigid frame 12 that is away from the lifting device 11 in the vertical direction, so that the rubber pad 13 is located at the end of the rigid frame 12 that is away from the lifting device 11 in the vertical direction. When the lifting device 11 is raised, the rubber pad 13 is configured to abut against the steel structure 2 to avoid the rigid frame 12 and the steel structure 2 from making hard contact.
[0027] For example, after the primer is sprayed and cured to a completely dry state, the lifting device 11 of the unsupported support 1 is raised, and the lifting device 11 of the support 1 that was originally in the supported state is lowered. Then, the area of the steel structure 2 that was originally covered by the support 1 is sprayed with primer and cured to a completely dry state. At this time, the primer in other areas that have already dried can be inspected and defects repaired simultaneously to complete the primer spraying of the entire steel structure 2. This process is repeated to complete the coating of intermediate paint and topcoat, thereby ensuring that the coating at each support position has good adhesion to the coating at adjacent positions and between the preceding and following coatings. Good interface bonding performance effectively improves the overall quality and uniformity of the coating in the support area, and ensures that the support coating positions of the two consecutive coatings in the multi-coat system are not on the same vertical working surface. That is, the primer and intermediate paint are not on the same vertical working surface, and the intermediate paint and topcoat are not on the same vertical working surface. In other words, each coating in the multi-coat system is successfully applied in sequence. Compared with spraying multiple coatings on the unmasked areas and then recoating the masked areas of the support, this embodiment can avoid the recoating multiple coatings being concentrated on the same vertical working surface, thereby ensuring good overlap between each coating and other coatings.
[0028] For example, the number of supports 1 can be greater than or equal to four, so that at least two supports 1 can be used to support the steel structure 2 each time to ensure the stability of the support. It should be understood that... Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The number of central support piers 1 is only an example. The number of support piers 1 can be set according to the actual situation and is not limited here.
[0029] In this embodiment, by placing the rigid frame 12 on the lifting device 11 and placing the rubber pad 13 at the end of the rigid frame 12 that is vertically away from the lifting device 11, the rigid frame 12 can rise along with the lifting device 11 when the lifting device 11 is raised, so that the rubber pad 13 abuts against the steel structure 2, thereby supporting the steel structure 2 for painting. The rubber pad 13 also protects the rigid frame 12 and the steel structure 2, while achieving a buffering and shock absorption effect, ensuring the stable support of the support and the steel structure 2, and further ensuring the painting effect. During the painting process, multiple supports are used to support the steel structure in batches under the action of the support lifting device. This allows for phased and area-by-area painting of the areas covered by the supports, preventing missed areas from being concentrated in the same area. This ensures that there are no obvious boundaries or differences between the covered and uncovered areas, guaranteeing uniformity and improving the painting effect. Furthermore, the timely lifting of the supports by the support lifting device can reveal the covered areas in advance, increasing their visibility and importance, allowing for timely painting and achieving sufficient hardness, thus improving the painting effect and avoiding the need for secondary touch-ups.
[0030] Optionally, the support 1 further includes a pressure sensor 14, which is located at the connection between the rigid frame 12 and the rubber pad 13. When the lifting device 11 is raised, the pressure sensor 14 is configured to display the contact pressure.
[0031] Specifically, the support 1 also includes a pressure sensor 14, which is located at the connection between the rigid frame 12 and the rubber pad 13. When the lifting device 11 is raised, the pressure sensor 14 is configured to display the contact pressure, thereby determining whether the height of the support 1 has been raised to the appropriate position. That is, during the raising process of the support 1, the pressure sensor 14 is in a pressure-free state until the moment when the support 1 contacts the steel structure 2, at which point the reading of the pressure sensor 14 begins to change, indicating that the height of the support 1 has been raised to the appropriate position. After the support 1 stops rising, if the reading of the pressure sensor 14 remains stable and without significant fluctuations, it further indicates that the steel structure 2 has been stably placed on the support 1, which can ensure the safety and stability of subsequent painting operations.
[0032] Optionally, the support 1 further includes a flexible strain sensor 15, which is disposed on the side of the rigid frame 12.
[0033] Specifically, the support 1 also includes a flexible strain sensor 15, which is located on the side of the rigid frame 12. The flexible strain sensor 15 will deform during the coating drying process. The degree of coating drying can be evaluated by the coating deformation. Therefore, in this embodiment, the deformation of the coating is detected by the flexible strain sensor 15, and the degree of drying of the coating of the steel structure 2 is measured.
[0034] Optionally, the support 1 further includes a non-contact paint film thickness gauge 16, which is located on the side of the rigid frame 12.
[0035] Specifically, the support 1 also includes a non-contact paint film thickness gauge 16, which is located on the side of the rigid frame 12. The non-contact paint film thickness gauge 16 can measure the paint film thickness of the steel structure 2.
[0036] Optionally, the rigid frame 12 is provided with angle steel inside.
[0037] Specifically, the rigid frame 12 is equipped with angle steel inside to increase the stability of the rigid frame 12.
[0038] Optionally, the rigid frame 12 has internal stiffening plates.

[0040] Optionally, the support 1 further includes a first rotating telescopic rod, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the rigid frame 12, and the movable end of which is connected to the flexible strain sensor 15.
[0041] Specifically, the rotating telescopic rod in this embodiment refers to a connection structure with telescopic and rotational functions. Its fixed end and movable end have degrees of freedom to move and rotate relative to each other, and can be locked in a set state after relative movement. Furthermore, by connecting the fixed end of the first rotating telescopic rod to the side of the rigid frame 12 and the movable end of the first rotating telescopic rod to the flexible strain sensor 15, the flexible strain sensor 15 can be movably connected to the rigid frame 12. In use, the flexible strain sensor 15 can be placed in a designated position by the first rotating telescopic rod, thereby increasing the accuracy of the measurement.
[0042] Optionally, the support 1 further includes a second rotating telescopic rod, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the rigid frame 12, and the movable end of which is connected to a non-contact paint film thickness gauge 16.

In use, the non-contact paint film thickness gauge 16 can be placed in a designated position through the second rotating telescopic rod, thereby increasing the accuracy of the measurement.
