Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of large pressure vessel manufacturing technology, and relates to a container transportation protection device. More specifically, it designs a detachable protection device suitable for segmented transportation of ultra-large containers. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of ultra-large containers, due to their size and transportation requirements, they are typically manufactured in sections before being transported to the site, during which time the containers remain unsealed. Currently, the common method for sealing ultra-large containers during segmented transportation is by welding aluminum plates. However, this method has many drawbacks, such as high material costs (the aluminum plates must be at least 12mm thick), extremely complex welding processes requiring highly skilled operators, and the inability to reuse aluminum plates, resulting in resource waste. When attempting to use thinner steel plates (e.g., 6mm), the incompatibility between steel and aluminum makes the traditional welding method extremely difficult, and even with thinner steel plates, the cost per use remains high.

[0003] Existing detachable protective structures mostly suffer from poor sealing and unreliable fixing, making it difficult to effectively meet the protection requirements necessary for long-distance transportation and long-term outdoor storage of oversized containers. Therefore, a container transportation protective device is designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a container transportation protection device that is simple and reasonable in structure, easy to install and use, low in cost and reusable, can withstand extreme weather, and effectively meet the protection needs of transporting and storing oversized containers.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a container transport protective device, including a cylinder and a protective device installed on the cylinder. The protective device consists of a first cover plate, a second cover plate, and a connecting rod with an adjustment mechanism. The first cover plate and the second cover plate are the same size and shape, and are respectively installed on the upper and lower end faces of the cylinder. The diameter of the first cover plate and the second cover plate is larger than the diameter of the cylinder. A hook-shaped upper plate hook is evenly provided at the four corners near the edge of the cover plate on the adjacent surface of the first cover plate and the cylinder. A hook-shaped lower plate hook is evenly provided at the four corners near the edge of the cover plate on the adjacent surface of the second cover plate and the cylinder. The number and position of the upper plate hooks and the lower plate hooks correspond one-to-one. Each upper plate hook and the lower plate hook are connected by a connecting rod with hooks or rings at both ends. The tightness is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism to ensure that the connection between the first cover plate, the second cover plate and the cylinder is stable after installation.

[0006] Preferably, both the first cover plate and the second cover plate consist of a central circular plate and an annular plate disposed at the edge of the circular plate. The diameter of the circular plate is greater than the inner diameter of the annular plate and less than the outer diameter of the annular plate, and the circular plate and the annular plate are concentric. The connection between the circular plate and the annular plate is fixed by welding or bolts, and the annular plate is disposed on the side of the circular plate away from the cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, four hook-shaped upper or lower plate hooks are evenly arranged on the edge of the ring plate away from the circular plate, and an industrial-grade silicone tube is arranged on the ring plate directly opposite the edge of the cylinder. One side of the industrial-grade silicone tube is in close contact with the edge of the cylinder, and a rubber pad is arranged between the other side and the ring plate as a buffer layer. The industrial-grade silicone tube is used for protection at the bevel of the cylinder end face.

[0008] Preferably, elastic sealing strips are provided on the contact surfaces of the circular plate and the cylinder, as well as on the contact surfaces of the industrial-grade silicone tube and the cylinder and ring plate. The industrial-grade silicone tube and the elastic sealing strips work together to provide a double seal between the circular plate, the ring plate and the cylinder, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the circular plate, the ring plate and the cylinder. The elastic sealing strips are made of EPDM rubber.

[0009] Preferably, the circular plate consists of a square section in the center, elongated sections arranged in the four directions of the square section (up, down, left, and right), and multiple fan-shaped sections of the same size arranged between two adjacent elongated sections. The connection between the square section and each elongated section, between the elongated section and the fan-shaped section, and between two adjacent fan-shaped sections are all hinged by hinges to ensure that the circular plate can be unfolded or folded according to the actual situation, which is convenient for transportation.

[0010] Preferably, the circular plate is provided with lifting lugs to facilitate lifting by a crane. The lifting lugs are evenly distributed circumferentially on the circular plate and welded to it to prevent the circular plate from deforming due to uneven force during lifting.

[0011] Preferably, the circular plate, the ring plate, and the lifting lugs are all made of steel, and the circular plate and the ring plate are made of Q235B steel plate with a thickness of 6mm. The outer diameter of the ring plate is 80mm larger than the diameter of the cylinder and is used to cover the end face of the cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is a turnbuckle with a specification of M20×697mm, and the connecting rod is made of ø20 round steel, with the hooks or rings at both ends bent by a bending machine.

[0013] Preferably, a waterproof cloth cover is also wrapped around the outside of the first cover plate, the cylinder, and the second cover plate. The waterproof cloth cover completely wraps the first cover plate, the cylinder, and the second cover plate. The waterproof cloth cover is made of high-strength PVC coated cloth, and its edges are sewn with nylon tightening straps for easy fixation.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1) Cost reduction: Compared with the traditional welded aluminum blind sealing method, the steel cover plate used in this utility model is 50% thinner. According to calculation, the material cost is reduced by more than 75%, which greatly saves manufacturing costs. 2) Efficiency improvement: Due to the adoption of the welding-free process, the complicated welding operation process is avoided. Actual tests have shown that on-site operation time can be reduced by 80%, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. 3) Strong environmental protection: The detachable structure design of this utility model enables the protective device to be reused at a rate of over 90%, effectively reducing resource waste and conforming to the concept of green environmental protection. 4) Reliable protection: The design adopts mechanical fastening and double sealing (elastic sealing strip + waterproof canvas cover). Simulation tests have shown that the protective device can effectively resist extreme weather such as rainstorms and sandstorms, providing reliable protection for oversized containers during transportation and storage.

The tightness is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism to ensure that the connection between the first cover plate 2, the second cover plate 3 and the cylindrical body 1 is stable after installation.

[0022] The first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are both composed of a central circular plate 7 and an annular plate 8 disposed at the edge of the circular plate 7. The diameter of the circular plate 7 is greater than the inner diameter of the annular plate 8 and less than the outer diameter of the annular plate 8, and the circular plate 7 and the annular plate 8 are concentric. The connection between the circular plate 7 and the annular plate 8 is fixed by welding or bolts, and the annular plate 8 is disposed on the side of the circular plate 7 away from the cylinder 1.

[0023] Four hook-shaped upper plate hooks 5 or lower plate hooks 6 are evenly arranged on the edge of the ring plate 8 away from the circular plate 7. An industrial-grade silicone tube 9 is arranged on the ring plate 8 directly opposite the edge of the cylinder 1. One side of the industrial-grade silicone tube 9 is in close contact with the edge of the cylinder 1, and a rubber pad 17 is arranged between the other side and the ring plate 8 as a buffer layer. The industrial-grade silicone tube 9 is used for protection at the bevel of the end face of the cylinder 1.

[0024] Elastic sealing strips 10 are provided on the contact surfaces of the circular plate 7 and the cylinder 1, as well as on the contact surfaces of the industrial-grade silicone tube 9 and the cylinder 1 and the ring plate 8. The industrial-grade silicone tube 9 and the elastic sealing strips 10 work together to provide a double seal between the circular plate 7, the ring plate 8 and the cylinder 1, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the circular plate 7, the ring plate 8 and the cylinder 1. The elastic sealing strips 10 are made of EPDM rubber.

[0025] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the circular plate 7 consists of a square portion 11 in the center, elongated portions 12 arranged in the four directions of the square portion 11 (up, down, left, and right), and multiple fan-shaped portions 13 of the same size arranged between two adjacent elongated portions 12. The connections between the square portion 11 and each elongated portion 12, between the elongated portion 12 and the fan-shaped portions 13, and between two adjacent fan-shaped portions 13 are all hinged by hinges 18 to ensure that the circular plate 7 can be unfolded or folded according to the actual situation, which facilitates transportation.

[0026] The circular plate 7 is provided with lifting lugs 14 to facilitate lifting by a crane. The lifting lugs 14 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the circular plate 7 and welded to the circular plate 7 to prevent the circular plate 7 from deforming due to uneven force during lifting.

[0027] The circular plate 7, the ring plate 8, and the lifting lug 14 are all made of steel. The circular plate 7 and the ring plate 8 are made of Q235B steel plate. The thickness of the circular plate 7 and the ring plate 8 is 6mm. The outer diameter of the ring plate 8 is 80mm larger than the diameter of the cylinder body and is used to cover the end face of the cylinder body 1.

[0028] The adjustment mechanism is a turnbuckle 15, which has a specification of M20×697mm. The connecting rod 4 is made of ø20 round steel, and the hooks or rings at both ends are bent by a bending machine.

[0029] A waterproof cloth cover 16 is also wrapped around the outside of the first cover plate 2, the cylinder 1, and the second cover plate 3. The waterproof cloth cover 16 completely wraps the first cover plate 2, the cylinder 1, and the second cover plate 3. The waterproof cloth cover 16 is made of high-strength PVC coated cloth, and its edges are sewn with nylon elastic bands for easy fixation. It can effectively resist extreme weather during transportation and effectively meet the protection requirements for the transportation and storage of oversized containers.

[0030] The overall installation process and operation steps of this utility model are as follows: Step 1: The fan-shaped pieces of the circular plate and the ring plate are cut by CNC cutting. The fan-shaped pieces of the circular plate are connected by hinge assembly. The fan-shaped pieces of the ring plate are welded together one by one to form a whole. Then, the formed ring plate and the circular plate are aligned concentrically and firmly connected by spot welding. Then, the hook connectors and multiple (preferably 5) lifting lugs are welded to make the cover plate. Step 2: Place the lower cover plate on a flat surface. Then, grind the weld seam within a 200mm range where the circular plate of the lower cover plate contacts the cylinder wall. Lay a sealing strip and a pre-cut industrial-grade silicone tube within this range. This operation ensures good contact between the sealing strip and silicone tube and the cylinder, laying the foundation for subsequent sealing and protection work. Step 3: Use hoisting equipment to lift the cylinder into the base plate, carefully adjust the position of the cylinder to ensure that the sealing strip is completely attached to the lower end of the cylinder to ensure the sealing effect at the lower end; Step 4: Place the industrial-grade silicone tube and sealing strip on the upper end of the cylinder. Then, hoist the upper cover plate onto the cylinder and readjust its position to ensure that the sealing strip is fully attached to the upper end of the cylinder, thus completing the upper sealing preparation. Step 5: Tighten the hooks on both sides of the cover plate by connecting the pull rod and turnbuckle, and use mechanical fastening force to firmly fix the cover plate to both ends of the cylinder to form a stable protective structure; Step 6: Lay and wrap a waterproof canvas cover on the upper part of the cylinder. After the waterproof canvas cover covers the entire device, tie the edges of the waterproof canvas cover tightly with straps to further improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the protective device. Step 7: During on-site disassembly, loosen the basket screws, remove the cover plate and rainproof cloth in sequence, and fold the cover plate into a rectangular structure to achieve convenient disassembly and reuse of the protective device.

[0031] 1) The container transport protective device designed in this utility model has steel cover plates at both ends of the cylinder. The cover plates are 6mm thick and their diameter is 80mm larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder. This size design ensures that the cover plates effectively cover and protect the cylinder openings. Hook-shaped connectors are evenly distributed along the edges of the cover plates. By using turnbuckles and pull rods, the hooks on one side of the cover plate are tightened and fixed to the corresponding hooks on the other side of the cover plate, thereby achieving a secure connection between the cover plates at both ends of the cylinder. The pull rods can be configured according to the height of the cylinder. 2) This invention features an elastic sealing strip, such as an EPDM rubber strip, at the contact surface between the cover plate and the cylinder to enhance the sealing effect. Simultaneously, an industrial-grade silicone tube is included to protect the end face bevel. 3) This utility model wraps the outer layer of the device with a waterproof canvas cover and uses straps to fix it, further improving the protective performance; 4) The cover plate of this utility model consists of a foldable circular plate, a matching ring plate, and multiple lifting lugs. The circular plate can be folded and transported back via hinges, which greatly facilitates the transportation process. The ring plate can be modified according to the size of the cylinder, which can flexibly adapt to the transportation needs of cylinders of various sizes and improve the overall practicality and stability.
