Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing apparatus installation structures at the bottom layer in modular units for industries like chemical and pharmaceutical industries block the diffusion of inert or harmful gases, posing potential dangers due to gas deposition.
Innovation Solution
A modular unit with a crossbeam frame at the bottom layer that is detachably connected to vertical struts and apparatuses, allowing for disassembly to facilitate gas diffusion, and apparatuses are anchored to a concrete foundation using bolt connections or chemical anchors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a steel structure layer with grating plate or diamond plate is added at the bottom layer to ensure hoisting strength and enable maximum trial assembly, then the hoisting strength and assembly capability are improved, but the diffusion of inert gases is blocked and gas deposition occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The bottom layer structure is segmented into detachable components: vertical struts, crossbeam frames, and apparatus installation frames. This segmentation allows the structure to be disassembled to prevent gas deposition while maintaining structural integrity during hoisting and assembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The bottom layer structure transitions from a static fixed configuration to a dynamic detachable configuration. The crossbeam frame and apparatus installation frames can be detached from vertical struts during operation to facilitate gas diffusion, then reattached when structural support is needed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the bottom layer structure is made detachable to facilitate gas diffusion, then gas diffusion is improved, but the structural stability during transportation and installation may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The structure employs dynamic detachable connections that provide stability during transportation and installation through bolt connections, then allow disassembly for gas diffusion. The crossbeam frame and apparatus installation frames can be detached when gas diffusion is required while maintaining structural integrity during hoisting.
Solution Approach 2:
The bottom layer is divided into separable components (vertical struts, crossbeam frames, apparatus installation frames) that can be independently detached. This segmentation enables gas diffusion while maintaining overall structural stability through the remaining connected components during transportation and installation.
3Ease of manufacture
If all layers of apparatus installation frames use the same standardized design, then manufacturing efficiency is improved, but the specific needs of the bottom layer for gas diffusion cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
While maintaining standardized frame designs for manufacturing efficiency, the bottom layer incorporates specific local modifications: detachable crossbeam frames and apparatus installation frames that can be removed to facilitate gas diffusion. This local differentiation allows the bottom layer to meet gas diffusion requirements while other layers maintain standardized configurations.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides with a modular unit for apparatus installation, comprising a plurality of vertical struts and multiple layers of apparatus installation frame connecting the plurality of vertical struts for installing apparatuses. The modular unit for apparatus installation is transported in its entirety to a desired installation site to perform installation in a state where various apparatuses are mounted to respective layers of the apparatus installation frame. In the multiple layers of apparatus installation frame, at least the apparatus installation frame at a bottom layer is a crossbeam frame composed of a plurality of crossbeams, and the crossbeam frame is detachably connected not only to a plurality of vertical struts, but also to the various apparatuses mounted to the crossbeam frame. With the modular unit for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure, at least a portion of the crossbeam frame at the bottom layer on which various apparatuses are mounted may be disassembled after the modular unit arrives at the installation site, such that the potential danger caused by the crossbeam frame obstructing the diffusion of gases stranded at the bottom layer can be prevented.
