Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] The present application claims the benefit of a priority of a previous invention application, which was filed in China on June 16, 2023, with the application number of 202310713816.8 and titled "Modular Unit For Apparatus Installation", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a modular unit for apparatus installation, in particular to an installation and support structure for apparatuses at a bottom layer in a modular unit for apparatus installation.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Currently, in order to enable easy and rapid installation of plant facilities, a common solution (such as that disclosed in patent document CN112166233A) is applied in which the related facilities are modularized and the prefabricated modular units are transported to the construction site for installation. According to the design of the conventional modularization solution, for a modular unit for apparatus installation with multiple layers of apparatus installation frames, all layers of the apparatus installation frames, including the bottom layer, apply the same standardized design. Moreover, considering the process requirements and floor space saving, the bottom layer, like other layers, also needs to have relevant apparatuses mounted thereon. In addition, in order to ensure that the apparatuses and pipelines at the bottom layer are hoisted and transported together with the modular unit, to achieve the maximum trial assembly and inspection in the modular structure manufacturing plant, as well as to ensure the hoisting strength, a layer of steel structure is usually added at the bottom layer of the modular unit, and a grating plate or diamond plate is laid. However, for industries such as the chemical industry or the pharmaceuticals industry, inert harmful gases will be generated in the production process, and these gases are often deposited between the structures (such as the laid grating plates or diamond plate) of the apparatuses at the bottom layer. That is to say, such existing apparatus installation structures at the bottom layer in the prior art will block the diffusion of inert gases (or harmful gases) and leave these gases stranded in the vicinity of the bottom layer, leaving potential dangers. Therefore, for this kind of modular unit for apparatus installation used in related industries such as the chemical industry or the pharmaceuticals industry, which will produce inert gases (or harmful gases), it is necessary to consider using a module with a bottom layer structure which facilitates the diffusion of gases.

In case of such configuration, the respective outer frame crossbeams of the crossbeam frame 14 are fixed by being engaged with the plurality of vertical struts 11, and a plane in which the frame enclosed by the outer frame crossbeams of the crossbeam frame 14 is located may be provided to be parallel to the plates of the apparatus installation plane frames 12, 13.

[0024] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, connecting a plurality of diagonal bracing beams 15 to the respective vertical struts 11, the apparatus installation plane frames 12, 13, and the crossbeam frame 14, respectively, can prevent the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation from being deformed by an external force, and can improve the structural stability of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, in the frame structure of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation, at a portion where at least one layer apparatus installation frame of the apparatus installation frames (the apparatus installation plane frames 12, 13, and the crossbeam frame 14) at respective layers is engaged with at least one of the vertical struts 11, there are provided lifting lugs 16 for lifting the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation in scenarios such as moving, transporting, installing, and disassembling the modular unit 10. Thus, it is possible to move, transport, install and disassemble the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation by directly hooking the lifting lugs 16 with a crane or the like, which is easy to operate.

[0026] The modular unit 10 for apparatus installation may be manufactured and assembled in advance in a modular device manufacturing plant; and after required relevant apparatuses are mounted to the respective layers of the apparatus installation frames (the apparatus installation plane frames 12, 13 and the crossbeam frame 14), the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation in its entirety is hoisted and transported to a construction and installation site of a plant such as a chemical plant or a pharmaceutical plant for installation and fixation. The transportation mode of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure is certainly not limited to hoisting transportation, that is, the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure may be transported by any suitable vehicle or tool. In the respective layers of the apparatus installation frames (the apparatus installation plane frames 12, 13 and the crossbeam frame 14) in this embodiment, the connections between the plurality of crossbeams of the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer and the vertical struts 11 and the connections between the plurality of crossbeams of the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer and the apparatuses mounted to the bottom layer may both be detachable connections.

[0027] FIG. 2 is a schematic top view showing a state of the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation, in which various apparatuses are mounted to the crossbeam frame 14, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of crossbeams of the crossbeam frame 14 comprise four outer frame crossbeams 14a connected to the vertical struts 11; two first inner frame crossbeams 14b connecting two outer frame crossbeams 14a facing each other; a second inner frame crossbeam 14c connecting one outer frame crossbeam 14a of the two outer frame crossbeams 14a which are not connected to the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, and the first inner frame crossbeam 14b facing the said one outer frame crossbeam 14a; two first apparatus installation beams 14d connecting the other outer frame crossbeam 14a of the two outer frame crossbeams 14a which are not connected to the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, and the first inner frame crossbeam 14b facing the said other outer frame crossbeam 14a; two second apparatus installation beams 14e connecting the two first inner frame crossbeams 14b; and a third apparatus installation beam 14f connecting the outer frame crossbeam 14a and the second inner frame crossbeam 14c.

[0028] The outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, and the second inner frame crossbeam 14c serve as frame beams of the crossbeam frame 14, and the first apparatus installation beams 14d, the second apparatus installation beams 14e, and the third apparatus installation beam 14f serve as apparatus foundation beams of the crossbeam frame 14 for installing apparatuses. In this embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the two first apparatus installation beams 14d are configured to install a first apparatus 21, the two second apparatus installation beams 14e are configured to install a second apparatus 22, and the third apparatus installation beam 14f is configured to install a third apparatus 23.

[0029] The number and layout of the outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, the second inner frame crossbeam 14c, the first apparatus installation beams 14d, the second apparatus installation beams 14e, and the third apparatus installation beam 14f of the crossbeam frame 14 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2, that is, they may be modified based on the specific apparatuses to be installed. In this way, the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure has excellent generality.

[0030] The first apparatus 21 may be a horizontal apparatus with saddles 21a, which has anchor bolts that may be fixed to the concrete foundation at the installation site. During the assembly and transportation of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation, the two first apparatus installation beams 14d are connected to side faces of the saddles 21a by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), respectively. In other words, the saddles 21a are connected and fixed to the two first apparatus installation beams 14d by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), i.e., allowing the first apparatus 21 to be mounted and fixed to the crossbeam frame 14.

[0031] Specifically, the first apparatus 21 is, for example, substantially cylindrical in shape and is mounted and fixed to the two first apparatus installation beams 14d in a horizontally placed manner with the aid of the two saddles 21a under the first apparatus 21. The saddles 21a are made of, for example, channel steel, i.e. C-shaped steel. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the saddle 21a has a substantially trapezoidal shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom when viewed from the side along the horizontal direction. In addition, the two first apparatus installation beams 14d are also made of, for example, channel steel. At the installation site, as shown in FIG. 2, the channel steel serving as the saddles 21a and the channel steel serving as the first apparatus installation beams 14d are connected back to back at two places spaced apart from each other by a certain distance in the longitudinal direction of the first apparatus 21, that is, the openings of the channel steel are connected in such a way that they face opposite sides.

[0032] The second apparatus 22 may be a mounting base without any saddle or the like, a predetermined apparatus can be mounted to the second apparatus, and the predetermined apparatus, for example, needs to be at a certain height (for example, 200 mm to 400 mm) from the ground plane G of the foundation based on industrial requirements. It needs to provide apparatus foundation beams on the second apparatus 22. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the second apparatus installation beams 14e serving as the apparatus foundation beams are fixed under the second apparatus 22. Therefore, before the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation is hoisted and transported, the two second apparatus installation beams 14e should be respectively fixedly connected to the second apparatus 22 by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like. In other words, the second apparatus 22 is fixedly connected to the two second apparatus installation beams 14e by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like. Then, the two second apparatus installation beams 14e are respectively connected to the two first inner frame crossbeams 14b by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), such that the second apparatus 22 with the apparatus foundation beams is mounted and fixed to the crossbeam frame 14.

[0033] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It is also possible to connect the two second apparatus installation beams 14e to the two first inner frame crossbeams 14b by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), and then fixedly connect the second apparatus 22 to the two second apparatus installation beams 14e by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like.

[0034] In addition, the predetermined apparatus mounted to the second apparatus 22 may be appropriately modified based on the actual needs.

[0035] The third apparatus 23 may be a mounting base without any saddle or the like, a predetermined apparatus can be mounted to the third apparatus 23, and the predetermined apparatus, for example, needs to be at a greater height (such as higher than 400 mm) from the ground plane G of the foundation based on industrial requirements. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2, the third apparatus installation beam 14f serving as the apparatus foundation beam is fixed under the third apparatus 23. Therefore, before the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation is hoisted and transported, the third apparatus installation beam 14f should be fixedly connected to the third apparatus 23 by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like. In other words, the third apparatus 23 is fixedly connected to the third apparatus installation beam 14f by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like. Then, the third apparatus installation beam 14f is connected to the outer frame crossbeam 14a and the second inner frame crossbeam 14c respectively by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), such that the third apparatus 23 with the apparatus foundation beam is mounted and fixed to the crossbeam frame 14.

[0036] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It is also possible to connect the third apparatus installation beam 14f to the outer frame crossbeam 14a and the second inner frame crossbeam 14c respectively by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), and then fixedly connect the third apparatus 23 to the third apparatus installation beam 14f by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like.

[0037] In addition, the predetermined apparatus mounted to the third apparatus 23 may be appropriately modified based on the actual needs.

[0038] The outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, the second inner frame crossbeam 14c, the second apparatus installation beams 14e, and the third apparatus installation beam 14f may all be made of H-shaped steel, with end plates provided at both ends and bolt connection holes provided in the end plates. And the first apparatus installation beams 14d are made of channel steel, with end plates provided at both ends and bolt connection holes provided in the end plates. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, that is, the outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, the second inner frame crossbeam 14c, the first apparatus installation beams 14d, the second apparatus installation beams 14e, and the third apparatus installation beam 14f may also be made of any other steel known in the art based on the actual needs.

[0039] After the first apparatus 21, the second apparatus 22, the third apparatus 23, and their pipelines are mounted and fixed to the crossbeam frame 14, and the predetermined apparatuses and pipelines are mounted to other respective layers of the apparatus installation frames, the assembly and production of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation are completed. The modular unit 10 for apparatus installation can then be transported to the installation site for on-site installation.

[0040] Hereinafter, the installation methods of the above various apparatuses at the bottom layer will be described, which could be performed after the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation is transported to the installation site.

[0041] FIG. 3 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a state of the first apparatus 21 when being installed in the installation site according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, that is, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 2. Before installation, while the anchor bolts B of the first apparatus 21 are being inserted into anchor bolt insertion holes reserved on site, the saddles 21a directly fall on the pre-poured concrete foundation C on site. Then, the connections of the two first apparatus installation beams 14d to the outer frame crossbeam 14a and the first inner frame crossbeam 14b is removed, thereinafter the connections and fixations of the two first apparatus installation beams 14d to the saddles 21a are removed, then the outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first apparatus installation beams 14d, and the first inner frame crossbeams 14b are gradually removed, and finally the first apparatus 21 is fixed to the concrete foundation C by grouting the gaps between the anchor bolts B and the anchor bolt insertion holes. Thus, in case where the first apparatus 21 is a horizontal apparatus which is in large scale, by applying the anchor bolts B and grouting the gaps between the anchor bolts B and the anchor bolt insertion holes, the installation strength of the first apparatus 21 can be ensured and the first apparatus 21 can thus be stably secured to the concrete foundation C.

[0042] FIG. 4 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a state of the second apparatus 22 when being installed in the installation site according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, that is, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. 2. Before installation, first, the connections between the second apparatus installation beams 14e and the two first inner frame crossbeams 14b are removed. And then the second apparatus installation beams 14e are provided into pre-prepared slots W of the on-site concrete foundation and fixed to pre-embedded plates P in the slots by welding. In this way, the second apparatus 22 is fixed to the concrete foundation C by means of the second apparatus installation beams 14e having a certain height. Thus, it is possible to ensure that the installation height of the second apparatus 22 meets the industrial requirements by utilizing the second apparatus installation beams 14e arranged between the concrete foundation C and the second apparatus 22. It is also possible to appropriately modify the structure of the second apparatus installation beams 14e arranged between the concrete foundation C and the second apparatus based on the apparatuses to be actually installed, that is, it is also possible to determine the height of the second apparatus installation beams 14e based on the height of the second apparatus 22 from the ground plane of the foundation as specified by the industrial requirements. Therefore, the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure has excellent generality.

[0043] FIG. 5 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a state of the third apparatus 23 when being installed in the installation site according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, that is, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. 2. Before installation, first, the connections of the third apparatus installation beam 14f to the outer frame crossbeam 14a and the second inner frame crossbeam 14c are removed. And then the third apparatus installation beam 14f is provided onto the on-site concrete foundation C, and finally is grouted after being fixed to the concrete foundation C by means of chemical anchor bolts H. In this way, the third apparatus 23 is fixed to the concrete foundation by means of the third apparatus installation beam 14f having a certain height. Thus, it is possible to ensure that the installation height of the third apparatus 23 meets the industrial requirements by utilizing the third apparatus installation beam 14f arranged between the concrete foundation C and the third apparatus 23. It is also possible to appropriately modify the structure of the third apparatus installation beam 14f arranged between the concrete foundation C and the third apparatus based on the apparatuses to be actually installed, that is, it is also possible to determine the height of the third apparatus installation beam 14f based on the height of the third apparatus 23 from the ground plane of the foundation as specified by the industrial requirements. Therefore, the crossbeam frame 14 at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure has excellent generality. In addition, the chemical anchor bolt H is simpler to operate than the anchor bolt B, and can improve operability and reduce costs while meeting the strength requirements of the third apparatus 23.

[0044] FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view showing a state where various apparatuses at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation are connected to the crossbeam frame 14 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0045] FIG. 7 is a partial perspective view showing a state where various apparatuses at the bottom layer of the modular unit 10 for apparatus installation are detached from the crossbeam frame 14 and then fixed to the concrete foundation according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0046] The state in which the crossbeam frame at the bottom layer has not been disassembled and the state in which the crossbeam frame at the bottom layer has been disassembled can be seen in FIGS. 6 and 7. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, at least the outer frame crossbeams 14a, the first inner frame crossbeams 14b, the second inner frame crossbeam 14c, and the first apparatus installation beams 14d of the crossbeam frame 14 are disassembled at the time of on-site installation, whereby sufficient space is created between the various apparatuses mounted to the crossbeam frame 14.

[0047] By applying the modular unit for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure, the supporting installation method of the apparatuses at the bottom layer is reserved, such that the apparatuses at the bottom layer, the pipelines, and the like may be hoisted and transported together with the modular unit, thus meeting the requirements of maximum trial installation, acceptance check and inspection of a module factory. Moreover, the present disclosure applies the technical solution that the crossbeam frame supporting the apparatuses at the bottom layer may be disassembled from the apparatuses at the bottom layer or from the apparatus foundation beams of the apparatuses at the bottom layer, such that the regions where the apparatuses at the bottom layer are located can be provided with space where gases, such as inert gases or hazardous gases, can sufficiently diffuse, and the problem that the inert gases are apt to be deposited on the bottom layer of the frame to cause potential dangers in the prior art can be solved.

[0048] The following modifications may be made in other embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0049] The detachable connections between the crossbeams constituting the crossbeam frame, between the crossbeams and the vertical struts, and between the crossbeams and the apparatuses at the bottom layer or the apparatus foundation beams of the apparatuses at the bottom layer may also be effected by other detachable connection methods such as buckling and snap-fit, besides the connection method using fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners).

[0050] In addition to the bottom layer, other layers of the apparatus installation frames may also apply the same connection structure as the bottom layer.

[0051] It is also to be noted that the individual specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner without causing contradiction.
