Ring Sistem

This ring system allows you to store more load than proposed through a set of ring, tripods and elastic bands that keep the entire load fixed and secured.One of the main advantages of this model is accessibility since all CTBs are accessible since they are stored in such a way that one CTB cannot make access to another impossible, in addition to the fact that the interior personnel access hole allows moving along . . from the warehouse without problem.The system is made up of several rings linked together by tripods. These tripods are custom designed for the CTB, in such a way that all the boxes have a custom gap between two tripods and two rings, which prevents movement at all times.The proposed solution to prevent the CTB from coming out of its hole when exposed to zero gravity is to hold the boxes with an elastic band between each of the tripods, so that each element would remain fixed in place, preventing its movement both in takeoff as if in weightlessness.Both the system rings and the tripods are drilled to significantly optimize the mass required to manufacture the system.The amount of CTB that can be stored accessible with this system is as follows:Size 0.5 - 84 pcs.Size 1 - 68 UnitsSize 2 - 16 UnitsSize 3 -11 UnitsSize 4 - 32 unitsSize 6 - 17 pcs.Science Playloads - 22 UnitsTwo materials have been proposed for its manufacture, aluminum and plastic (PVC).As for aluminum, the rings and tripods could be made from aluminum sheets using laser cutting. The tripods could be attached to the rings by welding or by screw attachment. The mass of the aluminum assembly would be approximately 570 kg.If made of plastic, it could be made by extrusion or by waterjet cutting from a sheet of plastic. In this case the tripods would be attached to the rings using screws. The plastic proposed in the model is PVC, and the mass of the system would be approximately 271 Kg.In either case, it is necessary to divide the rings into several parts and assemble them once they are inside the tank.Therefore, of all types of load, more than the minimum required amount can be stored with a simple, ergonomic, accessible and lightweight design that allows the load to be kept fixed and subject to all project processes.
