Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tower tray technology, specifically a connection structure for tower trays. Background Technology

[0002] Trays are important equipment in industries such as chemical and petroleum refining, mainly used for separation, absorption, and cooling processes. Their structure usually consists of a series of trays connected together by a specific connection structure to form a tower-shaped structure. The fluid inside the trays circulates through these trays to achieve the separation, absorption, or cooling of substances.

[0003] A search revealed that the existing patent with publication number CN222267169U discloses a connection structure for a tray, including a first tray and a second tray. The first tray has multiple first square holes on one side, and each second tray has multiple first square holes on one side. Four slots are equidistantly spaced around the bottom of each first square hole on the bottom of the first tray. A locking mechanism is provided at the bottom of each first square hole, including a disc at the bottom of the first square hole. Four insert rods are equidistantly fixed to the top circumference of the disc. The arrangement of the disc and insert rods ensures unobstructed access at the first and second air holes. This invention achieves rapid fixing between trays without the need for bolts, while also facilitating disassembly, greatly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have the following shortcomings in use: although the above devices achieve the effects of rapid fixing and convenient disassembly between trays, the devices have complex structures, are difficult to manufacture, and have high costs, which is not conducive to widespread use. In response, we propose a tray connection structure to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connection structure for a tower tray to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a connection structure for a tray, comprising:

[0007] The tray body has two insertion slots at one end. Two fixing seats are fixedly welded to the bottom wall of the end of the tray body with the two insertion slots. The front fixing seat has a first through slot, and the front side wall of the rear fixing seat has a threaded slot. A locking rod is movably inserted into the first through slot. Two insertion seats are fixedly welded to the bottom wall of the end of the tray body away from the insertion slots. The insertion seats are adapted to the insertion slots, and each of the two insertion seats has a second through slot.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the tray plate has two reinforcing grooves, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the two insertion grooves. Two reinforcing columns are fixedly welded to the bottom wall of the tray plate away from the reinforcing grooves, and the reinforcing columns are adapted to the reinforcing grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the rear end of the locking rod is threaded, the thread is adapted to the thread groove, and the front end of the locking rod is fixedly welded with a screw cap.

[0010] Preferably, the first through groove and the second through groove have the same diameter, and the locking rod is adapted to the first through groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In use, when two tray bodies are joined together, the two connectors of one tray body can be inserted into the connector slots of the other tray body. Then, the rear end of the locking rod is inserted into the first through slot and then into the second through slots of the two connectors in sequence. Finally, the rear end of the threaded rod is screwed into the threaded groove of the rear fixing seat. This achieves a quick and easy connection between the trays, while also making disassembly convenient and greatly improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly. It also has the advantages of simple overall structure, low production difficulty, and low cost, and is worth promoting. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a connection structure for a tray, comprising:

[0020] The tray body 1 has two insertion slots 2 at one end. Two fixing seats 3 are fixedly welded to the bottom wall of the end of the tray body 1 with the two insertion slots 2. A first through slot 4 is provided on the front side of the fixing seat 3, and a threaded groove 5 is provided on the front side wall of the rear side of the fixing seat 3. A locking rod 6 is movably inserted into the first through slot 4. Two insertion seats 8 are fixedly welded to the bottom wall of the end of the tray body 1 away from the insertion slots 2. The insertion seats 8 are adapted to the insertion slots 2, and a second through slot 9 is provided on both insertion seats 8.

[0021] Two reinforcing grooves 10 are provided at one end of the tray plate 1. The two reinforcing grooves 10 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the two insertion grooves 2. Two reinforcing columns 11 are fixedly welded on the bottom wall of the end of the tray plate 1 away from the reinforcing grooves 10. The reinforcing columns 11 are adapted to the reinforcing grooves 10. When the two tray plate bodies 1 are spliced, the connection strength of the two tray plate bodies 1 can be strengthened by the insertion and cooperation of the reinforcing columns 11 and the reinforcing grooves 10.

[0022] The locking rod 6 has a thread 7 at its rear end, which is adapted to the threaded groove 5. The locking rod 6 has a screw cap 12 fixedly welded to its front end, which facilitates the screwing and rotating of the locking rod 6. The thread 7 facilitates locking the locking rod 6 in the threaded groove 5.

[0023] The first through groove 4 and the second through groove 9 have the same diameter, and the locking rod 6 is adapted to the first through groove 4.

[0024] Working principle: In use, when two tray bodies 1 are joined together, the two plug-in seats 8 of one tray body 1 can be inserted into the plug-in slots 2 of the other tray body 1 respectively. Then, the rear end of the locking rod 6 is inserted into the first through slot 4 and then into the second through slots 9 of the two plug-in seats 8 in sequence.
