Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection equipment technology, specifically to a convenient safety railing. Background Technology

[0002] Oil and gas storage and transportation companies typically set up large-scale storage tanks in storage areas to store oil products for oil and gas storage operations. The oil products generally include crude oil and refined oil. At the same time, in order to facilitate oil and gas transportation operations, the storage tanks are often located in coastal areas to facilitate long-distance shipping by ships.

[0003] Due to the constant influence of monsoons in coastal areas, the air is highly humid and saline, causing significant corrosion to equipment. The safety railings around the top of storage tanks are particularly vulnerable to this corrosion, which poses a constant risk of breakage and collapse, severely impacting the safe operation of the storage area. Repairing safety railings typically requires hot work such as welding. However, due to the flammable and explosive nature of oil storage, hot work necessitates emptying and thoroughly cleaning the tanks before hot work can commence. This process is generally lengthy, leaving tanks with corroded safety railings unprotected for extended periods, increasing the risk to personnel and ultimately affecting the normal operation of the storage area.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the creator of this utility model has finally obtained this utility model after a long period of research and practice. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The convenient safety railing of this utility model includes a support frame 1, a connecting rod 2, and a connecting wire rope 3. The bottom of the support frame 1 is provided with a quick-connect assembly 4, the top of the support frame 1 is provided with a first connector 5, and the middle of the support frame 1 is provided with a second connector 6. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are respectively detachably connected to the top of two adjacent support frames 1 through the first connector 5. The connecting wire rope 3 is detachably connected to the second connector 6 on each support frame 1. The top of the oil tank is provided with an L-shaped edge steel structure 7. The bottom of each support frame 1 is detachably connected to the edge steel structure 7 through the quick-connect assembly 4, thereby forming a stable linear enclosure on the top of the oil tank and playing a protective role.

[0021] The existing corroded safety railings can be connected to the support frames 1 or the connecting rods 2 by means of binding or other methods to form a more stable guardrail structure.

[0022] This utility model utilizes a support frame 1 that can be quickly installed on the top of the oil tank. Based on multiple support frames 1, a space protection is formed between each support frame 1 through the connecting rod 2 and the connecting wire rope 3, thereby quickly forming a safety railing structure. This allows for non-hot work operations, avoiding the need to empty and clean the storage tank. At the same time, it provides stable protection before major repairs that require hot work on the storage tank, ensuring the safety of the workers. Example 2

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a view of the connection structure of the quick-connect component.

[0024] The edge steel structure 7 includes a vertical edge plate 71 and a horizontal edge plate 72. The horizontal edge plate 72 is horizontally disposed at the top of the vertical edge plate 71, and the horizontal edge plate 72 is vertically disposed and extends along the top edge of the storage tank. The quick-connect assembly 4 includes a snap-fit ​​plate 41 and a top support plate 42. The bottom of the connecting rod 2 is fixedly disposed on the snap-fit ​​plate 41. One end of the snap-fit ​​plate 41 is vertically fixedly disposed on the top support plate 42. The other end of the snap-fit ​​plate 41 is connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 43 through a bent section. A fixing groove 44 is provided between the snap-fit ​​plate 43 and the snap-fit ​​plate 41. The edge of the horizontal edge plate 72 away from the vertical edge plate 71 is disposed in the fixing groove 44. A top support bolt 45 is threadedly connected to the top support plate 42. The end of the top support bolt 45 contacts and connects with the vertical edge plate 71, thereby realizing the quick and stable connection of the quick-connect assembly 4 on the edge steel structure 7.

[0025] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​plate 43 and the top bolt 45 are located on the same side of the snap-fit ​​plate 41, and the top bolt 45 is perpendicular to the top plate 42 to ensure a stable fixed state.

[0026] The gap between the snap-fit ​​plate 43 and the fastening plate 41 gradually increases in the direction away from the bending section. The thickness of the transverse edge plate 72 is greater than the minimum gap between the snap-fit ​​plate 43 and the fastening plate 41, and less than the maximum gap between the snap-fit ​​plate 43 and the fastening plate 41, thereby ensuring that the edge of the transverse edge plate 72 is smoothly inserted into the fixing groove 44 and fixed in the fixing groove 44.

[0027] Preferably, the top plate 42 is provided with a top hole, which is a threaded hole. The top bolt 45 is threaded into the top hole, and a locking nut 46 is threaded onto the top bolt 45. The locking nut 46 and the edge steel structure 7 are respectively provided on both sides of the top plate 42. After the edge steel structure 7 is fixed by pressing the end of the top bolt 45, the position of the top bolt 45 on the top plate 42 can be further fixed by tightening the locking nut 46 to fit against the top plate 42, thus ensuring the stable connection between the edge steel structure 7 and the quick-connect assembly 4. Example 3

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a structural view of the connecting rod. The first connecting member 5 is a long strip plate, and the extension direction of the first connecting member 5 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the support frame 1. Both ends of the first connecting member 5 are provided with first connecting holes 51. Both ends of the connecting rod 2 are fixedly provided with connecting plates 21, and the connecting plates 21 are provided with second connecting holes 22. The first connecting holes 51 and the second connecting holes 22 are provided one-to-one. The connecting bolts pass through the corresponding first connecting holes 51 and second connecting holes 22 in sequence and are connected with connecting nuts, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod 2 and the support frame 1 to form an integral connection structure.

[0029] The two first connecting holes 51 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the first connecting member 5, thereby forming a linear guardrail structure through the connection of adjacent support frames 1. Example 4

[0030] The second connector 6 is provided with two snap-fit ​​holes. The connecting wire rope 3 is connected to the snap-fit ​​holes through the rope buckle 61 to be fixedly installed on the second connector 6, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting wire rope 3 and each of the support frames 1. The middle part of the support frame 1 is connected by the connecting wire rope 3 to avoid the installation inconvenience caused by the spacing error between each support frame 1, and realize the protection of the safety railing in the middle part of the support frame 1.

[0031] Preferably, the second connecting member 6 is a plate fixed in the middle of the support frame 1 and arranged horizontally. The snap-fit ​​hole is set perpendicular to the second connecting member 6. The rope buckle 61 is a U-shaped rod with a snap-fit ​​groove inside. The two ends of the rope buckle 61 pass through the two snap-fit ​​holes and are threadedly connected to the fixing nuts 62. The connecting wire rope 3 is set in the snap-fit ​​groove. By tightening the two fixing nuts 62, the rope buckle 61 presses the connecting wire rope 3 onto the second connecting member 6, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting wire rope 3 and the support frame 1.
