Abstract

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.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular unit for apparatus installation, comprising a plurality of vertical struts ( 11 ) and multiple layers of apparatus installation frames for installing apparatuses, the multiple layers of apparatus installation frames connecting the plurality of vertical struts ( 11 ) and located between the plurality of vertical struts ( 11 ), the modular unit ( 10 ) for apparatus installation being 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 frames, and
 in the multiple layers of apparatus installation frames, at least a crossbeam frame ( 14 ) for apparatus installation at a bottom layer being composed of a plurality of crossbeams, and the crossbeam frame ( 14 ) being detachably connected not only to the plurality of vertical struts ( 11 ), but also to the various apparatuses mounted to the crossbeam frame.   
     
     
         2 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of crossbeams of the crossbeam frame ( 14 ) comprise frame beams and apparatus foundation beams connected to the apparatuses, the apparatus foundation beams being detachably connected to the frame beams.   
     
     
         3 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 2 , wherein
 connections between the crossbeam frame and the plurality of vertical struts ( 11 ), connections between the crossbeam frame and the various apparatuses, and connections between the apparatus foundation beams and the frame beams apply bolt connection structure.   
     
     
         4 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 1 , wherein
 at least one of the various apparatuses has anchor bolt(s) that is/are fixed to a concrete foundation at the installation site.   
     
     
         5 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 2 , wherein
 at least one of the apparatus foundation beams is welded and fixed to a pre-embedded plate in a slot of a concrete foundation at the installation site, or is connected and fixed to the concrete foundation at the installation site by means of chemical anchor bolt(s).   
     
     
         6 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the apparatus installation frames comprise an apparatus installation plane frame ( 12 ) at an intermediate layer, an apparatus installation plane frame ( 13 ) at a top layer, and the crossbeam frame ( 14 ) at the bottom layer,   the modular unit ( 10 ) for apparatus installation in its entirety is hoisted and transported to the desired installation site for installation.   
     
     
         7 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 1 , wherein the crossbeam frame ( 14 ) comprises a plurality of outer frame crossbeams ( 14   a ), a plurality of inner frame crossbeams, and a plurality of apparatus installation beams, and after at least part of the apparatuses are mounted to a concrete foundation (C) at the desired installation site, the outer frame crossbeams ( 14   a ) are removed, and one or more of the plurality of inner frame crossbeams and the plurality of apparatus installation beams is/are removed. 
     
     
         8 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 5 , wherein
 a height of the apparatus from a ground plane of the foundation is 200 mm to 400 mm in case where at least one of the apparatus foundation beams is welded and fixed to the pre-embedded plate in the slot of the concrete foundation at the installation site, and   a height of the apparatus from the ground plane of the foundation is more than 400 mm in case where chemical anchor bolt(s) is/are used.   
     
     
         9 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 5 , wherein
 a height of the apparatus foundation beam is determined based on a height of the apparatus from a ground plane of the foundation as specified by industrial requirements.   
     
     
         10 . The modular unit for apparatus installation according to  claim 2 , wherein the frame beams comprise:
 a plurality of outer frame crossbeams ( 14   a ) which form an outer frame of the crossbeam frame and which are detachably connected to the plurality of vertical struts;   at least one first inner frame crossbeam ( 14   b ) which connects the outer frame crossbeams facing each other within the outer frame; and   at least one second inner frame crossbeam ( 14   c ) which connects the outer frame crossbeam and the first inner frame crossbeam facing each other within the outer frame,   wherein at least one apparatus foundation beam ( 14   d ,  14   e ,  14   f ) is provided in the outer frame,   the at least one apparatus foundation beam is detachably connected to at least one of the outer frame crossbeam, the first inner frame crossbeam, and the second inner frame crossbeam, and   the apparatus is detachably mounted to the at least one apparatus foundation beam.
