[0024]

The present invention has the following excellent effects. (1) The support structure according to the present invention employs a configuration in which an end support plate formed of a steel plate and, if necessary, an intermediate support plate are used to support the cylindrical container. And, for this support, a circular support hole or an arc-shaped notch with an open upper end is provided in a commercially standardized steel plate, and both end portions of the cylindrical container are fitted almost closely into the support hole, Alternatively, the cylindrical container is supported by fitting an intermediate portion of the cylindrical container into the arc-shaped notch and setting these support plates in an upright state. The support structure employing such a configuration is completely different from a complicated and large-scale conventional support structure,
The structure can be simplified by reducing the number of constituent members, and the assembling can be performed in a short time. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to shorten the assembling time of the support structure and the assembling cost.

(2) Unlike a conventional support structure in which many constituent members are joined by welding at many locations, the number of locations can be extremely reduced even when welding is performed. Therefore, the conventional problems such as distortion, torsion, height difference, and the like caused by welding do not occur, the support of the cylindrical container becomes unstable, and it takes time to adjust the support can be solved.

(3) In the support structure according to the present invention, the left and right end support plates located at both ends are provided with circular support holes instead of arcuate notches with open upper ends. A configuration is adopted in which the portion is fitted into the support hole substantially closely. Therefore, both end portions of the cylindrical container, which is particularly required to have stable support, can be held so as to be held by the circular support holes, and the cylindrical container can be stably supported by the left and right end support plates. Further, when both ends of the rotating shaft disposed inside the cylindrical container are supported by left and right end support plates, it is necessary to fix an end face plate having bearings to the end support plates.
Since the end support plate is provided with a circular support hole instead of an arc-shaped notch, the end plate can be stably fixed at the entire peripheral portion of the support hole. This makes it possible to stably support the rotary shaft while ensuring simple and stable support of the cylindrical container.

(4) When the support structure according to the present invention employs a configuration in which the intermediate portion of the cylindrical container is supported by an intermediate support plate, the intermediate support plate is provided with the same circular support hole as described above. In the above, the peripheral portion of the support hole exerts a rib effect on the cylindrical container. Therefore, when a large amount of heat is generated, for example, when the stirring and drying treatment is performed inside the cylindrical container, thermal deformation such as twisting of the cylindrical container can be effectively prevented by the rib effect of the intermediate support plate.

(5) In the case where the above-mentioned problem of thermal deformation does not occur with respect to the cylindrical container, the intermediate support plate can be configured to have an arc-shaped notch with an open upper end. In such a configuration, as in the case of providing a circular support hole,
The support holes of the end support plate and the intermediate support plate do not have the problem of having to be configured precisely with their axes aligned, and the lower part of the middle part of the cylindrical container is cut off in an arc shape. By easily applying the intermediate support plate on the lower side of the cylindrical container so as to fit into the portion, a support portion using the intermediate support plate can be configured. This not only requires less material to form the intermediate support plate, but also eliminates the hassle of fitting a cylindrical container into a circular support hole and facilitates the mounting of the intermediate support plate. As a result, the work of assembling the support structure can be made more efficient.
