[0023] The support frame reinforcement structure of the present invention, to be examined below, relates to a support frame reinforcement structure for reinforcing a support frame on which a pipe is seated.

[0024] Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of understanding, the subjects of application of the present invention will be described first.

[0025] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a support frame and a pipe shoe to which a support frame reinforcing structure according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1, the application target of the present invention can be most suitablely applied to a support frame (30) having a structural steel structure such as an H-beam.

[0027] To explain in more detail, the support frame (30) to which the present invention is applied may be composed of a lower member (31), a vertical member (32), and an upper member (33).

[0028] The lower member (31) of the support frame (30) may be formed on a horizontal plane by extending in the longitudinal direction of the first direction, and the vertical member (32) may be provided to protrude in a vertical direction from the central part of the lower member (31) and extend along the first direction, and the upper member (33) may be positioned on the upper part of the vertical member (32) and positioned to face the lower member (31).

[0029] A support frame (30) including such a configuration may be provided such that a pipe (70) is seated on the upper part of the upper member (33) in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0030] Additionally, a pipe shoe (50) with a pipe (70) seated in a second direction may be arranged on the upper part of the support frame (30) described above.

[0031] The pipe shoe (50) can generally be composed of a support member (52) that supports the lower part of the pipe (70) by making surface contact with the lower part of the pipe (70) and a support member (51) that supports the load of the support member (52).

[0032] The pipe shoe (50) is not a structure that is combined with the support frame (30) described above, and can be configured to move on the support frame (30) in such a way that it functions to support the lower part of the pipe (70) when the pipe (70) moves on the support frame (30) due to thermal expansion or thermal contraction caused by the temperature of the fluid being transported through the pipe (70).

[0033] The scope of application of the present invention is not limited to what is described above, and any structure of a support frame (30) that extends in the longitudinal direction and includes an upper member (33), a lower member (31), and a vertical member (32), and a pipe shoe (50) that can stably support the lower part of a pipe (70) may be applicable to the present invention.

[0034] Hereinafter, a support frame reinforcement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to the pipe shoe and support frame described above, will be described in detail.

[0035] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a support frame reinforcement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the connection relationship between the support frame reinforcement structure and the support frame according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the support frame reinforcing structure (100) of the present invention may include a guide frame (110) and a reinforcing member (120).

[0037] First, the guide frame (110) surrounds one area of ​​the support frame (30) and is provided as a pair so that it can be separated and combined in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and may include a lower plate (111), a side member (112), and an upper plate (113).

[0038] The lower plate (111) may be provided to support the lower part of the lower member (31) of the support frame (30) described above.

[0039] The side member (112) is bent vertically from the lower plate (111) and functions to surround the side portion of the support frame (30).

[0040] At this time, so that the guide frame (110) can move in a first direction along the support frame (30), the first direction side portion of the guide frame (110) may be provided with an open structure without a side member (112).

[0041] The upper plate (113) is bent vertically from the top of the side member (112) and is provided to cover the upper member (33) of the support frame (30).

[0042] At this time, the upper plate (113) may be spaced apart from the upper member (33) to have a predetermined space so that the support member (51) of the pipe shoe (50) supporting the lower part of the pipe (70) is seated between the upper plate (113) and the upper member (33).

[0043] Additionally, an opening may be formed in the upper plate (113) so that a support member (52) protruding upward on the support member (51) of the pipe shoe (50) penetrates the upper plate (113).

[0044] That is, since the support member (51) of the pipe shoe (50) described above is positioned on the upper part of the upper member (33) of the support frame (30), the upper plate (113) of the guide frame (110) can be provided to cover a part of the upper part of the support member (51), excluding the support member (52) that protrudes in a vertical direction from the support member (51).

[0045] The drawing shows the upper plate (113) with its area minimized, but it is not limited to this shape and can be provided in various shapes as needed.

[0046] Additionally, the guide frame (110) described above may be provided in a square frame shape as shown in the drawing, but is not limited thereto, and any structure that can be easily fixed to the pipe shoe (50) supporting the pipe (70) and moved on the support frame (30) will be applicable.

[0047] Next, the reinforcing member (120) protrudes in a second direction from the inner side of the guide frame (110) and extends toward the vertical member (32), and is positioned between the upper member (33) and the lower member (31) to function to reinforce the rigidity of the support frame (30).

[0048] The reinforcing member (120) may be provided to have a gap with the upper plate (113) and lower plate (111) of the guide frame (110), and may be provided so that the upper member (33) and lower member (31) of the support frame (30) are inserted into the gap described above.

[0049] In the drawing, the thickness of the reinforcing member (120) is shown to be similar to the thickness of the support frame (30) or guide frame (110) frame, but it may be provided with a thicker thickness to further improve rigidity.

[0050] In addition, in one embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing members (120) may be provided inside a single guide frame (110).

[0051] In the drawing, the shape of the reinforcing member (120) is depicted as a plate-shaped vertical member (32), but the shape of the reinforcing member (120) is not limited to this, and any shape that can stably support the support frame (30) and reinforce rigidity can be applied.

[0052] As the support frame reinforcement structure (100) of the present invention described above includes the configuration of a guide frame (110) and a reinforcement member (120), as the pipe (70) moves on the support frame (30), the configuration of the pipe shoe (50) supporting the pipe (70) and the support frame reinforcement structure (100) of the present invention have the advantage of being able to move together.

[0053] Accordingly, the reinforcing member (120) is arranged to always be positioned at the correct location at the bottom of the pipe (70) where the load of the pipe (70) is concentrated along the movement of the pipe (70), thereby having the effect of preventing damage or deformation of the support frame (30).

[0054] Above, we have examined the configuration of a support frame reinforcement structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] Below, the method of mutually combining the above-described pair of guide frames (110) is described.

[0056] Referring further to FIGS. 1 to 3, the guide frame (110) may further include a coupling surface (115) that is positioned oppositely on each upper plate (113) and lower plate (111) and contacts as the guide frame (110) is joined together.

[0057] Additionally, the guide frame (110) may further include a fastening means (117) that fastens the connection of a pair of guide frames (110) by penetrating through a through hole formed to correspond to each of the aforementioned connecting surfaces (115).

[0058] As the guide frame (110) is connected through the aforementioned connecting means (117), the pipe (70) and the pipe shoe (50) can be connected integrally with the guide frame (110).

[0059] At this time, the joining surface (115) can be provided at both ends of the upper plate (113) and the lower plate (111) of the guide frame (110).

[0060] Additionally, mutually corresponding screw threads are formed on the inner surface of the through hole formed in the coupling surface (115) and on the outer surface of the fastening means (117), so that the fastening means (117) is rotatably coupled within the through hole, thereby providing for a more stable mutual coupling of the guide frame (110).

[0061] In one embodiment, the joining surfaces (115) are provided to be joined by contacting the outside of the pipe shoe (50), thereby enabling the guide frame (110) to be stably fixed to the outside of the pipe shoe (50).

[0062] In another embodiment, a through hole corresponding to the through hole of the connecting surface (115) of the guide frame (110) may also be formed on the support member (52) of the pipe shoe (50), so that the pipe shoe (50) and the guide frame (110) are more firmly fixed by being penetrated together by a fastening means (117).

[0063] As a pair of guide frames (110) of the present invention are fastened through a fastening means (117), the pipe (70), the pipe shoe (50) supporting the lower part of the pipe (70), the guide frame (110), and the reinforcing member (120) are integrally combined, and even if the pipe (70) moves due to thermal expansion or thermal contraction, the above components move together with the movement of the pipe (70).

[0064] That is, since the reinforcing member (120) provided in the inner center of the guide frame (110) of the present invention also moves together between the upper member (33) and the lower member (31) of the support frame (30) according to the movement of the pipe (70), the reinforcing member (120) can always be positioned at the location of the support frame (30) where the load of the pipe (70) is concentrated.

[0065] Accordingly, this has the effect of preventing deformation and damage to the support frame (30) caused by the load of the pipe (70).

[0066] The drawings illustrating the support frame reinforcement structure (100) of the present invention described above illustrate an embodiment of the present invention applied to a support frame (30) having the shape of an H-beam, but are not limited thereto and may be applied to various structures having an upper member (33), a vertical member (32), and a lower member (31).

[0067] The support frame reinforcement structure of the present invention described above can be combined with a pipe and a pipe shoe in the following form.

[0068] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the connection between a support frame reinforcing structure, a support frame, and a pipe shoe according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a side view of FIG. 4.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in the construction of an onshore or offshore plant, a pipe shoe (50) can be installed on the upper side of a beam in the form of resting and bolting, and then a pipe (70) can be supported by the pipe shoe (50).

[0070] The support frame reinforcing structure of the present invention may be provided to be integrally combined with the support member (51) of the pipe shoe (50).

[0071] To this end, a pair of guide frames (110) can be combined so as to be positioned on both sides relative to the vertical member (32) of the support frame (30).

[0072] As described above, a pair of guide frames (110) can be joined by means of a fastening means (117) that penetrates through a through hole in a joining surface (115) formed on an upper plate (113) and a lower plate (111).

[0073] At this time, the reinforcing member (120) may be provided to have a height corresponding to the distance from the upper member (33) to the lower member (31) of the support frame (30), and may be arranged to be spaced apart from the upper plate (113) and the lower plate (111) of the guide frame (110) with a gap.

[0074] Accordingly, the upper member (33) and lower member (31) of the support frame (30) are inserted into the spaced gap between the upper plate (113) and lower plate (111) and the reinforcing member (120) and joined so as to be supported by the reinforcing member (120).

[0075] In addition, sufficient space is formed between the reinforcing member and the upper plate (113) so that the upper member (33) of the support frame (30) and the support member (51) of the pipe shoe (50) can both be arranged inside the guide frame (110) of the present invention.

[0076] Accordingly, the support frame reinforcement structure of the present invention, comprising a pipe shoe (50) on which a pipe (70) is seated, a guide frame (110), and a reinforcing member (120), is integrally combined and can move together.

[0077] That is, even if the pipe (70) moves on the upper part of the support frame (30) due to thermal expansion or contraction occurring during fluid transfer, the support frame reinforcing structure of the present invention moves along the support frame (30) together with the pipe (70) as the pipe (70) moves, thereby having the effect of accurately positioning the reinforcing member (120) at the location where the load of the pipe (70) is concentrated.

[0078] As seen so far, using a support frame reinforcement structure according to one embodiment of the present invention can have the following advantages.

[0079] In onshore and offshore plant construction, when transferring fluids using pipes, there was a risk of localized failure of the support frame when the pipe load was heavy; conventionally, to prevent such failure, a method of inserting and installing reinforcing materials inside the support frame has been adopted.

[0080] However, there was a disadvantage in that the pipe's position naturally shifted on the support frame due to thermal expansion or contraction caused by the internal fluid temperature, causing the load of the pipe to shift away from the support frame where the reinforcement was installed, and thus the reinforcement could not function.

[0081] Consequently, there have been persistent problems with localized damage to the support frame, including web yielding, web rippling, and web buckling.

[0082] To prevent damage to such support frames, multiple reinforcing materials must be installed at short intervals inside the support frames; however, this presents difficulties in terms of cost and causes problems with significantly reduced work efficiency.

[0083] The support frame reinforcement structure of the present invention is designed to solve such problems and is characterized by the fact that as the pipe moves on the support frame, the reinforcement material moves together within the support frame.

[0084] In particular, as the guide frame of the present invention is fixed integrally with the support member of the pipe shoe that supports the lower part of the pipe, when the pipe moves on the support frame, the pipe, the pipe shoe that supports the lower part of the pipe, and the guide frame move together on the support frame.

[0085] Accordingly, since the reinforcing member provided inside the guide frame also moves together with the pipe while always being fixed at the lower center of the pipe, it is possible to maintain improved rigidity by reinforcing the support frame at the location where the load of the pipe is concentrated.

[0086] Therefore, when the support frame reinforcement structure of the present invention is applied, it is possible to allow the pipe to flow on the support frame due to thermal expansion and contraction occurring during the fluid transfer process, while reinforcing the rigidity of the support frame and preventing deformation and damage of the support frame caused by the pipe load.

[0087] In other words, unlike conventional technology that required multiple reinforcing members to reinforce the rigidity of the support frame, the present invention makes it possible to effectively support the load of the pipe with only a single reinforcing member, thereby offering the advantages of improved work efficiency and reduced costs.

[0088] The embodiments of the invention disclosed in this specification and drawings are provided merely as specific examples to facilitate the explanation of the technical content of the invention and to aid in understanding the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0089] Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be interpreted as including all modifications or variations derived based on the technical concept of the present invention, in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein. Explanation of the symbols
