DEFROSTING MACHINE COLUMN FIXED SUPPORT WITH INCLINED FLAT LEG
20190059243 · 2019-02-28 · ·

The prevent invention discloses a defrosting machine column fixed support with an inclined flat leg, including a defrosting machine (1), a connecting support (2), a pedestal bolt (3), and a pedestal (4). The connecting support (2) includes an anti-tilting guide barrel (21), a fixed pillar (22), a rib plate (23), and a connecting plate (24). The pedestal (4) includes a pedestal plate (41) and a flat leg (42). The pedestal bolt (3) is used for fixedly connecting the connecting support (2) with the pedestal (4). The pedestal plates are hit into the soil so as to solve digging difficulties and low efficiency of a small diameter mounting deep hole with high accuracy requirements; each pedestal plate is respectively vertically provided with two intersecting flat legs in an inclined mode, thus balancing forces in each direction and stabilizing the defrosting machine column. The holes on the pedestal plates can integrate the soils on the inner side and outer side and two sides into one body, thus stabilizing the defrosting machine. In addition, the connecting support is employed, and standard tubes replace conventional non-standard tubes, thus saving on material cost, and transport and storage are also convenient. The support is simple in structure, convenient to implement, can be applied on pebbled land, not only reduces labour intensity when mounting, but also improves the anti-sinking, anti-horizontal torsion and anti-tilting abilities of the defrosting machine column, improves defrosting machine work reliability, and improves mounting efficiency and economic benefits of the defrosting machine.

Stage smoke machine with fast spray gas column and electromagnetic valve module thereof

A stage smoke machine with a fast spray gas column includes an oil barrel, an oil pump, a gas tank, a first electromagnetic valve, a heater, a gas-filling device and a controller. In case of gas loss in the gas tank, the gas tank is replenished with the gas by the gas-filling device so that the gas pressure in the gas tank can be maintained at a pressure sufficient to fast spray smoke oil into the heater, thereby ensuring that every time the smoke machine is started, the smoke machine can quickly show a high level stage effect of fast sprayed smoke. Further, an electromagnetic valve module is formed by installing at least two electromagnetic valves integrally on a base.
