Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power station equipment installation technology, specifically to a prefabricated modular box-type substation steel platform. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of photovoltaic power stations, the equipment platform foundation of the box-type transformer (hereinafter referred to as "box-type transformer") is a key infrastructure. The current mainstream practices include: (1) cast-in-place steel beam concrete raft foundation or independent foundation + thick plate platform. This method requires on-site concrete pouring, and after the concrete is poured, it needs to be cured for 28 days. There are problems such as long construction period, great influence of weather, and significant differences in construction quality due to human factors; (2) Fishery-solar complementary projects usually adopt pipe pile foundation + steel structure platform. This method raises the height of the platform by pipe piles and uses bolted welding to connect steel structure components on site. However, there are defects such as long construction period, large amount of on-site welding work, and difficulty in controlling welding quality. Regardless of whether it is a concrete or steel structure platform, additional facilities such as railings, box-type transformer oil tank, signboard, and stairs need to be installed after construction, resulting in complicated procedures and high engineering complexity. The main problems of the existing technology are: long construction period, low degree of integration, large amount of on-site work leading to low efficiency, and poor platform stability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model application is to address the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technology by providing a prefabricated modular prefabricated steel platform for transformer substations. By using prefabricated modules in the factory, it can be quickly assembled on site, resulting in a short construction cycle, high degree of module integration, simple and efficient installation process, and high platform stability.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the prefabricated modular prefabricated steel platform provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A prefabricated modular steel platform for a prefabricated substation includes four prefabricated modules: a first module, a second module, a third module, and a fourth module. Each module includes a frame and a panel. The frame is constructed of H-beams or I-beams, and the panel is made of steel grating or checkered steel plate, fixed to the frame by welding or bolts. The first and second modules are parallel and mirror-symmetrical, both being long-direction modules forming a long walkway. The third and fourth modules are short-direction modules forming a short walkway, both connected between the first and second modules via first and second beam splicing nodes to form an integral steel platform. The first and second beam splicing nodes are connected by high-strength bolts. The frames of the first and second modules rest on top of support piles. The fourth module has a prefabricated substation installed above one end of the platform near the inner side, and a substation oil tank below it. The width of the fourth module is not less than the width of the substation, and its length is the sum of the substation length and the width of the reserved short-direction walkway. By adopting this technical solution, prefabricated modular units are manufactured in the factory. On-site, the platform can be built simply by assembling the modular units. This results in a short construction period, a high degree of modular integration, a simple and efficient installation process, and high platform stability.
[0005] Optionally, both the first and second modules' frames include a long main beam, a long side beam, multiple cantilever beams, and multiple secondary beams. The secondary beams are welded between the long main beam and the long side beam. One end of each cantilever beam is welded to the long side beam, and the other end rests on the top of a support pile, extending beyond the support pile into the platform. The long main beam is cut off at each of the cantilever beams, and the cut-off point is welded to the side of the cantilever beam. By adopting this technical solution, the frame has good stability.
[0006] Optionally, the frame of the third module includes a central beam, a short side beam, and multiple secondary beams, with the secondary beams welded between the central beam and the short side beam. This technical solution ensures the frame has good stability.
[0007] Optionally, the frame of the fourth module includes two intermediate beams, one short side beam, and multiple secondary beams. The secondary beams are welded between the short side beams and adjacent intermediate beams, and between two intermediate beams. By adopting this technical solution, the frame has good stability.
[0008] Optionally, the first beam splicing node includes a first end plate, a first extended flange plate, a first extended connecting plate, and a first stiffening plate. There are two first end plates: one welded to the end of the cantilever beam and the other welded to the end of the intermediate beam. There are also two first stiffening plates: one welded to the end of the cantilever beam near the upper flange, and the other welded to the end of the intermediate beam near the upper flange. The first extended flange plate is formed by extending the lower flange of the cantilever beam. One end of the first extended connecting plate is welded to the lower flange of the intermediate beam, and the other end overlaps the first extended flange plate and is connected by high-strength bolts. A portion of the lower flange of the intermediate beam is cut off according to the length of the first extended flange plate to form an overlapping space. The two first end plates are attached and connected by high-strength bolts. This technical solution simplifies the beam splicing process and ensures good stability after splicing.
[0009] Optionally, the second beam splicing node includes a second end plate, a second extended flange plate, a second extended connecting plate, and a second stiffening plate. There are two second end plates: one welded to the outermost secondary beam end of the first or second module, and the other welded to the end of the short-side beam. There are also two second stiffening plates: one welded to the outermost secondary beam end of the first or second module near the upper flange, and the other welded to the end of the short-side beam near the upper flange. The second extended flange plate is formed by extending the lower flange of the outermost secondary beam of the first or second module. One end of the second extended connecting plate is welded to the lower flange of the short-side beam, and the other end overlaps the second extended flange plate and is connected by the high-strength bolts. A portion of the lower flange of the short-side beam is cut off according to the length of the second extended flange plate to form an overlapping space. The two second end plates are attached and connected by the high-strength bolts. This technical solution simplifies the beam splicing process and ensures good stability after splicing.
[0010] Optionally, the prefabricated module is equipped with auxiliary facilities prefabricated in the factory. These facilities include railings, signs, and steel ladder interfaces. The railings are installed along the edge of the platform formed after assembly, and the steel ladder interfaces are located at the outer end of the fourth module near the platform. One end of the steel ladder connects to the steel ladder interface, and the other end connects to the steel ladder foundation. This technical solution further improves the integration of the prefabricated module.
[0011] Optionally, the panel is provided with multiple anti-slip strips. By adopting this technical solution, the anti-slip performance of the panel can be increased.
[0012] Optionally, both the splicing joints of the first beam and the second beam are coated with epoxy zinc-rich primer and polyurethane topcoat. This technical solution provides corrosion protection for the splicing joints.
[0013] Furthermore, the entire prefabricated module is fully covered with a zinc coating using a hot-dip galvanizing process. This technical solution enables the prefabricated module to possess long-lasting and reliable corrosion resistance.
[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are: 1. By using prefabricated modular units in the factory, the platform can be built on-site simply by assembling the modular units, resulting in a short installation cycle; 2. The frame, beam splicing nodes, and panels of the prefabricated modules are all manufactured as a whole in the factory, resulting in a high degree of integration; 3. On-site assembly only requires high-strength bolts, eliminating the need for welding, making the installation process simple and efficient; 4. The platform is formed by splicing four prefabricated modules. The number of prefabricated modules is small, and the frame of the prefabricated modules is made of H-beams or I-beams and spliced by high-strength bolts. The platform has high stability after the splicing is completed. Attached Figure Description
