Description

Water tower forming machine and water tower structure formed by using water tower forming machine

This creation is related to a water tower forming machine and a water tower structure made by using the water tower forming machine; in particular, it refers to a hollow body using a water tower straddling the upper arm and the lower machine of the (water tower) forming machine. Technology of hole structure (or annular rib and/or other machining operations).

It is well known in the art to store water or similar liquids to provide water tower structures for use in civil and/or industrial systems. For example, Taiwan No. 93121076 "Manufacturing Method of Water Tower" discloses a typical embodiment in which a metal plate is used to press reinforcing ribs through a stamping module, rolled into a cylindrical body, and the upper and lower covers are welded at both ends of the cylindrical body. . In addition, Taiwan No. 93212347 "Stainless Steel Water Tower" and No. 104216772 "Water Storage Tower Structure" patent cases, etc., also provide typical embodiments.

As those who are familiar with this technology know, this technique is already a mature field in the technical development space of this industry. This is because the previous cases disclosed include the improvement or design of the structure of each part of the water tower; for example, Taiwan No. 103205601 "Water Tower Inlet Pipe", No. 102211383 "Water Tower End Cover Composite Structure", No. 89203750, "Water Tower Reinforcing structure of barrel body" patent case, etc., provide specific examples.

A topic related to the application and manufacture of water towers or horizontal water tower structures is that water towers include manhole structures at the upper end for personnel inspection, installation of other components, cleaning of the inside of the water tower...etc.

In practice, the old method is to pass a cylindrical plate made of stainless steel or similar materials and place it on the lower table of the forming machine or forming device, and fit the mold set of the forming machine on one of the cylindrical plates. At the planned location, an opening of a hole structure (or manhole area) or the structure of the annular reinforcing rib is pressed, and the extraction operation is carried out to pull out the eaves of the mouth to complete the manhole (mouth) structure of the water tower; For example, Taiwan Patent No. 108115616 "Water Tower Forming Method and Water Tower Structure Made by Using the Water Tower Forming Method" provides a feasible example.

However, as those skilled in the art know, as the size of the water tower increases, the size and/or height of the entire molding machine must be increased. For example, a water tower with a diameter of 5 meters should be placed on the lower table of the forming machine. Above meters, to avoid the contour of the water tower body touching the (horizontal) ground and being pushed and deformed, which will affect the manufacture of the manhole structure (or annular reinforcing rib, other processing operations) or cause variation in its size/contour.

It can be understood that if a water tower body with a diameter of 10 meters is to be produced, the height of the lower machine table of the forming machine from the ground needs to be kept at least 10 meters above the ground; therefore, it can be known that the forming machine should be adapted to the size and specification of the water tower. Increase, the size and/or height of the entire molding machine must be relatively increased, forcing the molding machine to form a bulky mechanical equipment, which not only needs to occupy a large site space, but also causes the personnel to operate the water tower to straddle the bulky machinery. Difficulties, hassles and processing, safety issues on the equipment; and this situation is not what we expected.

Typically, these references show design techniques for the structure and application of conventional water tower or horizontal water tower systems; they also reflect some of the problems that exist in the actual manufacture of these water tower systems. If the design considers the structure and manufacturing operations of the water tower or horizontal water tower system, and its technology is different from the prior art, it will be possible to change its use and operation mode, which is different from the old method; or further improve the water tower's performance Due to the increase in the size and specification of the water tower in the manufacturing and molding equipment, the size and/or height of the entire molding machine must be relatively increased, so that the molding machine forms a bulky mechanical equipment and needs to occupy a large site space and other issues, which are particularly considered. subject. In essence, it will also improve Personnel operate the difficulties, troubles, processing, and safety problems that the water tower body is straddling on the bulky mechanical equipment, and establish an ideal operating mechanism and structural effect.

None of these topics are taught or specifically disclosed in the aforementioned references.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide a water tower forming machine and a water tower structure formed by using the water tower forming machine, so as to improve the manufacturing and forming devices of the water tower. The relative improvement makes the molding machine form a bulky mechanical equipment, and needs to occupy a large site space, causing difficulties, troubles, processing and safety problems for personnel to operate the water tower body to straddle the bulky mechanical equipment. It includes: bending and welding a plate structure to form an annular (or hollow cylindrical) body with a hollow area, a welding area and open ends. And, provide the operation of the body straddle (water tower) forming machine.

In the taken example, the molding machine includes an upper arm, a lower table, and an upper mold and a lower mold arranged on the upper arm and the lower table. Essentially, the hollow area of the body is the pattern that passes through the upper arm of the molding machine, allowing the body and/or the welding area to rest on or be loaded on the lower mold.

In a feasible embodiment, a geometrical hole structure (or an initial state of the manhole structure) can be formed at a planned position of the body. And, the planned position refers to a position in the welding area or a middle area (or a central area) of the welding area, so that the planned position has the same distance from both ends.

The forming machine is equipped with a hanging tool, and the hollow area of the auxiliary body passes through the upper arm of the forming machine or the stability of the welding area of the auxiliary body on the lower mold.

Cooperate with the upper and lower molds of the molding machine to perform pressing or processing operations on the body, and/or make a manhole structure on the welding area (or make annular reinforcing ribs and/or other processing operations on the body).

According to the present invention, a water tower structure formed by a water tower forming machine includes a ring-shaped (or hollow cylindrical) body formed by bending and welding a plate structure, and has a hollow area, a welding area and open ends. . And, a planned position of the body is matched with the upper mold and the lower mold of the molding machine, and a hole structure (or an initial form of a manhole structure) or an annular reinforcing rib structure is formed at the planned position, and/or a protruding structure is formed.
