Description

Tray for blind flanges {A tray for blind flanges}

This design relates to a tray for blind flanges, and is a blind plan that can be used to temporarily store and move blind flanges used to block existing supply pipes in the field during regular inspection of gas sheets in natural gas facilities or when testing exchange bundles. It's about paper trays.

In general, a blind flange is a type of inward flange that is installed to close the end of a pipe and refers to a flange that does not have a hole in the center.

In terms of electrical protection, high-pressure gas piping equipment consists of piping base material, covering, and electrical protection system.

These blind flanges are used in the field to temporarily block pipes during regular inspection of gas heaters in gas facilities, to test pipe tightness, or to block existing supply pipes.

In particular, during regular inspection of a gas heater, cold gas is heated using a hot heat medium and supplied through the pipe. At this time, an exchange bundle is used among the main parts of the gas heater. To ensure safety, two blind flanges are installed for airtightness testing. Two blind flanges are used to connect or block the existing supply pipe.

At this time, blind flanges of various sizes may be required depending on the size of each pipe.

However, when blind flanges of large diameter (12" or more) are temporarily stored, there is a problem that the airtight contact surface may be damaged as foreign substances and moisture enter when in contact with the ground. Additionally, when moving to another site after regular inspection, the crane Since the blind flanges are loaded or unloaded one by one, problems such as low work efficiency and a lot of time are being pointed out.

Referring to the drawings, the blind flange tray 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 110, a partition 120, and a fixing part 130.

First, the main body 110 has a substantially rectangular box shape, and an opening 111 with an open upper surface is formed. The opening 111 corresponds to the area where the blind flange 10 enters and exits.

At least one side of the main body 110 is provided with a partially penetrating confirmation window 112. The user can check the storage status or size of the blind flange 10 stored inside the main body through this confirmation window 112. Although not shown in the drawing, the area where the confirmation window 112 is provided may be finished with a transparent plastic material, etc.

The main body 110 can accommodate at least two blind flanges 10 therein. At this time, a partition 120 is provided to prevent each blind flange from contacting each other.

The partition 120 may partially divide the storage area of each blind flange. Additionally, the partition 120 may be arranged to have a gap smaller than the diameter of the blind flange 10. That is, the blind flange 10 stored in the storage area interferes with the partitions 120 protruding from both sides of the interior of the main body 110, and movement to other storage areas is restricted.

Of course, the width or length of the partition 120a disposed in one storage area of the blind flange 10 and the partition 120b disposed in the other storage area may be formed differently.

In Figure 1 or 2, the partition 120 is provided in the shape of a plate having an approximately rectangular shape, but the end edge area of the partition 120 is formed to minimize friction or interference during the insertion of the blind flange 10. A taper (not shown) may be formed, or it may be formed in a shape (not shown) in which the width increases from the top to the bottom.

In other words, the partition 120 may be formed in a shape whose width gradually increases from the top to the bottom. Additionally, the width of the partition 120 may gradually increase from the top toward the center and then gradually decrease again from the center toward the bottom. The structure of this partition 120 can minimize interference between the blind flange 10 and the partition 120 during the process of inserting the blind flange 10 from the top to the bottom, and can minimize the interference between the blind flange 10 and the partition 120 through a crane. In the process of transporting and storing (10), it can have the effect of being able to settle in the storage area more easily.

Additionally, the partition 120 is arranged so that its width sequentially increases or decreases along one direction D1 for each storage area. That is, it is arranged so that when looking at the partition 120 through the confirmation window 112, it can be seen that the width of the partition 120 gradually increases.

At the top of the main body 110, fixing parts 130 are provided on both sides opposing each other.

The fixing part 130 may be formed integrally with the main body 110. At this time, the fixing part 130 may be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the partition part 120 protrudes inward on the main body 110. That is, the partition 120 may protrude vertically from the inside of the main body 110, and the fixing part 130 may protrude outward in the horizontal direction from the upper edge of the main body 110. Additionally, the partition portion 120 and the fixing portion 130 may be disposed on different sides of the four sides of the main body portion 110.

The upper surface of the fixing part 110 is provided with a plurality of fixing rings 131 that can be directly connected to the moving means. Here, as an example, a crane may be used as a means of transportation. Therefore, a crane hook or another fixing ring coupled to a crane hook may be coupled to the fixing ring 131.

Figure 4 is a front view showing the front of a tray for a blind flange according to another embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals as those described below indicate the same components.

The blind flange tray 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention differs in the position limiting portion 210 provided at the lower part of the main body 110.

That is, the main body 110 is provided with a plurality of storage areas inside, and blind flanges 10 of different sizes are stored in each storage area as an example. Of course, blind flanges 10 of the same size may be accommodated, or blind flanges 10 of only partially different sizes may be accommodated.

When blind flanges 10 of different sizes are stored inside the main body 110 of the same size, the relatively small blind flanges 10 can move within the storage area during storage or movement, and the position limiter 210 is placed at the bottom of the storage area where the small-sized blind flange 10 is stored to prevent this.

The position limiting portion 210 is provided with a curved surface that approximately corresponds to the curvature of the blind flange 10 and supports the blind flange 10 from the bottom, and may be made of synthetic rubber or plastic. Therefore, it is possible to easily adapt to the external curvature of the blind flange 10 and also minimize friction or noise. The position limiter 210 may be selectively mounted inside the main body 110, and may be provided on only one of the two lower sides of the storage area, like a chock.

Therefore, according to the blind flange tray according to the present invention, it is possible to work without placing the blind flange on the floor, preventing foreign substances or moisture from being adsorbed on the blind flange, and storing a plurality of blind flanges by size and type. In addition, since multiple blind flanges can be stored and moved using a tray for blind flanges, the number of crane operations can be reduced, which has the effect of shortening working time.

In the above, specific embodiments have been shown and described to illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the same configuration and operation as the specific embodiments as described above, and various modifications are made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It can be carried out within. Accordingly, such modifications should be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be determined by the claims described below.
