Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application generally relates to the field of industrial gas storage safety protection technology. More specifically, this application relates to a protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial maintenance, cutting, and welding operations, acetylene cylinders are commonly used gas containers, and their safety is paramount, directly impacting the safety of on-site personnel and equipment. However, in open-air maintenance environments, acetylene cylinders often face the challenge of sun protection. Specifically, if acetylene cylinders are exposed to sunlight, the internal pressure will rise sharply (acetylene's critical temperature is only 35°C). At high temperatures, acetone solvent will escape with the gas, which not only reduces the purity of the acetylene but also increases the risk of combustion and explosion, posing a significant risk to the work site. To address these issues, the current common solution is to cover the acetylene cylinders with simple sunshades. However, these sunshades are difficult to secure and easily blown away by the wind, making it difficult to continuously and effectively shield the cylinder body and top.
[0003] In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop an acetylene cylinder protective cover to continuously and effectively shield the acetylene cylinder, prevent the acetylene cylinder from becoming dangerous at high temperatures, and ensure the safety and efficiency of the industrial site. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to at least solve the technical problems mentioned above, this application proposes a protective cover solution for acetylene cylinders to provide sunshade.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an acetylene cylinder protective cover, comprising: a top sunshade, which is umbrella-shaped, for covering the top of the acetylene cylinder to prevent it from being exposed to sunlight; and a first cylinder body protective cover, which is disposed below the top sunshade for accommodating and fixing the acetylene cylinder body to keep the acetylene cylinder upright, wherein a gap is provided between the top sunshade and the first cylinder body protective cover to expose the valve of the acetylene cylinder.
[0006] In some embodiments, the first bottle cover is cylindrical and has a plurality of spaced support columns on its outer periphery. The support columns extend parallel to the axial direction of the first bottle cover and extend beyond the first end of the cylinder, and their extended ends abut against and are fixed to the top sunshade.
[0007] In some embodiments, a plurality of supports are provided on the outer periphery of the first bottle body protective cover, the supports being used to support the acetylene cylinder protective cover and the internal acetylene cylinder to be placed vertically and stably.
[0008] In some embodiments, baffles are provided between all adjacent pairs of supports, and multiple baffles form a second bottle body protective cover.
[0009] In some embodiments, the height of the baffle is less than the height of the bracket, and when the acetylene cylinder protective cover is in a vertical position, there is a gap between the lower end of the baffle and the ground.
[0010] In some embodiments, the lower end of the first bottle body cover is not higher than the lower end of the second bottle body cover.
[0011] In some embodiments, the projected area of the top sunshade on the horizontal plane is greater than the projected area of the first bottle body protective cover on the horizontal plane, but smaller than the projected area of the second bottle body protective cover on the horizontal plane.
[0012] In some embodiments, the acetylene cylinder protective cover further includes a third cylinder body protective cover, the outer contour of which is frustoconical and disposed below the first cylinder body protective cover, and is fixedly connected to the first cylinder body protective cover.
[0013] In some embodiments, the lower end of the third bottle body protective cover has a plurality of spaced-apart support feet.
[0014] In some embodiments, the acetylene cylinder protective cover further includes a fourth cylinder body protective cover, the outer contour of which is frustum-shaped and partially covers the outer periphery of the first cylinder body protective cover.
[0015] The acetylene cylinder protective cover provided above effectively shields the top of the acetylene cylinder from direct sunlight, preventing it from burning or exploding due to a rapid increase in internal pressure caused by direct sunlight. This ensures the safety of personnel and equipment at the work site. Furthermore, the first cylinder body protective cover accommodates and secures the acetylene cylinder, ensuring it remains upright. This prevents acetone from leaking out and forming a flammable vapor cloud when the cylinder is tilted, reducing the risk of backfire and damage to the valves due to uneven stress, thus improving the safety of the acetylene cylinder during use.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, this application provides an acetylene cylinder protective cover 100, including: a top sunshade 101, which is umbrella-shaped and used to cover the top of the acetylene cylinder to prevent it from being exposed to sunlight; and a first cylinder body protective cover 102, which is disposed below the top sunshade 101 and used to accommodate and fix the acetylene cylinder body to keep the acetylene cylinder upright, wherein a gap is provided between the top sunshade 101 and the first cylinder body protective cover 102 to expose the valve of the acetylene cylinder.
[0024] The acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 provided in this application includes a top sunshade 101 and a first cylinder body protective cover 102. Specifically, the top sunshade 101 is umbrella-shaped and is used to cover the top of the acetylene cylinder to prevent it from being exposed to sunlight, effectively avoiding the safety risks caused by increased internal pressure due to direct sunlight. The first cylinder body protective cover 102 is located below the top sunshade 101 and is used to accommodate and fix the acetylene cylinder body, keeping the acetylene cylinder upright, thereby avoiding problems such as acetone leakage, increased risk of backfire, and uneven valve force caused by tilting the acetylene cylinder. In addition, there is a gap between the top sunshade 101 and the first cylinder body protective cover 102 in this application to expose the valve of the acetylene cylinder, ensuring the normal use and operation of the valve.
[0025] The acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 provided in this application, by designing the top sunshade 101 as an umbrella, can effectively cover the top of the acetylene cylinder, preventing it from being exposed to sunlight. This avoids the risk of combustion or explosion caused by a rapid increase in internal pressure due to direct sunlight, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment at the work site. Furthermore, the first cylinder body protective cover 102 can accommodate and fix the acetylene cylinder body, ensuring that the acetylene cylinder remains vertical. This prevents acetone liquid from flowing out and forming a flammable vapor cloud when the acetylene cylinder is tilted, reducing the risk of backfire and damage to the valve due to uneven force, further improving the safety of the acetylene cylinder during use. Regarding ease of operation, a gap is provided between the top sunshade 101 and the first cylinder body protective cover 102 to expose the valve of the acetylene cylinder, facilitating normal use and operation of the valve by the operator, such as opening and closing, without affecting the normal function of the acetylene cylinder.
[0026] In one specific implementation, the first bottle body protective cover 102 is cylindrical, and has a plurality of spaced support columns 103 on its outer periphery. The support columns 103 extend parallel to the axis of the first bottle body protective cover 102 and extend beyond the first end of the cylinder, and their extended ends abut against and are fixed to the top sunshade cover 101.
[0027] In this design, the first cylinder protective cover 102 of the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure with multiple support columns 103 arranged circumferentially on its outer periphery. These support columns 103 extend parallel to the axis of the first cylinder protective cover 102, with their extended ends exceeding the first cylindrical end and abutting against and fixing to the top sunshade 101. That is, the cylindrical first cylinder protective cover 102 in this design has a first end and a second end along its height direction, with the first end located near the top sunshade and the second end located away from the bottom protective cover. In addition, in this solution, a plurality of support columns 103 are fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the first bottle body protective cover 102 along its axial direction. One end of the support column 103 is connected to the first bottle body protective cover 102, and the other end extends parallel to the axial direction of the first bottle body protective cover 102 toward the top sunshade 101. Its extended end is fixedly connected to the top sunshade 101, thereby forming a certain gap between the top sunshade 101 and the first bottle body protective cover 102. This gap can be used to expose the valve of the acetylene cylinder for easy operation.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific implementation, a plurality of supports 104 are provided on the outer periphery of the first bottle body protective cover 102. The supports 104 are used to support the acetylene cylinder protective cover and the internal acetylene cylinder to be placed vertically and stably.
[0029] In this design, multiple inclined supports 104 are provided around the outer periphery of the first cylinder protective cover 102. These supports 104 are mainly used to support the acetylene cylinder protective cover and the internal acetylene cylinder for vertical and stable placement. The supports 104 are typically made of sturdy materials, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to ensure that they can bear the weight of the acetylene cylinder and its protective cover and provide sufficient stability.
[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that the present application does not limit the specific connection method between the bracket 104 and the first bottle body protective cover 102. In different embodiments, the bracket 104 may be fixed to the outer periphery of the first bottle body protective cover 102 by welding, bolting, or other reliable means.
[0031] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the height of the bracket 104 is adjustable, allowing it to be adjusted to accommodate different acetylene cylinder heights according to actual needs. For example, the bracket 104 includes a first bracket and a second bracket connected by fasteners, wherein both the first and second brackets have multiple connecting holes along their length, and the fasteners adjust the height of the bracket 104 by fixing different connecting holes.
[0032] This application, by setting up a bracket 104, enables the acetylene cylinder protective cover to effectively maintain the vertical placement of the acetylene cylinder inside, reducing safety risks caused by tilting or unstable placement, such as acetone leakage, backfire, and valve damage, thereby improving the safety of the acetylene cylinder during use.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in one specific implementation, baffles are provided between all adjacent pairs of supports 104, and multiple baffles form a second cylinder protective cover 105. The height of the baffles is less than the height of the supports 104, and when the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 is placed vertically, there is a gap between the lower end of the baffle and the ground.
[0034] In this design, baffles are installed between any two adjacent supports 104 on the outer periphery of the first cylinder protective cover 102. These baffles are interconnected to form the second cylinder protective cover 105. The height of each baffle is intentionally designed to be less than the height of the support 104. In this way, when the entire acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 is placed vertically, a certain gap is formed between the lower end of the baffle and the ground.
[0035] The combination of the bracket 104 and the baffle, by setting a second protective cover 105 outside the first protective cover 102, further blocks the direct approach of sparks or flames, providing an additional barrier for the acetylene cylinder. Furthermore, this barrier allows the protective cover to better maintain its shape when facing external impacts or placed on unstable ground, reducing the possibility of deformation and thus providing more reliable physical protection for the internal acetylene cylinder, reducing the risk of damage from external impacts. Secondly, considering ventilation and heat dissipation requirements, the design of the baffle being lower than the bracket 104 creates a gap between the bottom of the protective cover and the ground. This ensures airflow inside the protective cover, helping to dissipate heat that may be generated during use and reducing the risk of excessive internal pressure due to heat accumulation.
[0036] In some embodiments, the lower end of the first bottle body protective cover 102 is not higher than the lower end of the second bottle body protective cover 105.
[0037] In this design, the lower end of the first bottle body protective cover 102 is flush with or lower than the lower end of the second bottle body protective cover 105. Because the lower end of the first bottle body protective cover 102 is flush with or lower than the lower end of the second bottle body protective cover 105, the center of gravity of the protective cover is lowered, making it more stable and reducing the risk of the acetylene cylinder tipping over due to accidental collisions or uneven ground. This ensures its vertical placement and improves safety during use.
[0038] In one specific implementation, the projected area of the top sunshade on the horizontal plane is greater than the projected area of the first bottle body protective cover 102 on the horizontal plane, but smaller than the projected area of the second bottle body protective cover 105 on the horizontal plane.
[0039] In this design, the projected area of the top sunshade on the horizontal plane is larger than that of the first cylinder protective cover 102. This allows the top sunshade to more effectively cover the top of the acetylene cylinder and the upper area of the first cylinder protective cover 102, thus providing broader sun protection and preventing direct sunlight from causing an increase in pressure inside the acetylene cylinder, reducing the risk of combustion or explosion. Simultaneously, the projected area of the top sunshade is smaller than that of the second cylinder protective cover 105. The larger projected area of the second cylinder protective cover 105 allows it to better bear the weight from the top sunshade and the first cylinder protective cover 102, enhancing the overall structural stability. Furthermore, this projected area relationship helps optimize the stress distribution of the protective covers, improving their load-bearing capacity and durability.
[0040] In some embodiments, the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 further includes a third cylinder body protective cover, the outer contour of which is frustoconical and disposed below the first cylinder body protective cover 102, and fixedly connected to the first cylinder body protective cover 102. The lower end of the third cylinder body protective cover has a plurality of spaced-apart support feet.
[0041] In this design, the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 no longer has a second cylinder body protective cover 105 outside the first protective cover. Instead, a third cylinder body protective cover is installed below the first cylinder body protective cover 102. Specifically, the third cylinder body protective cover is a hollow frustum-shaped structure, fixedly installed below the first cylinder body protective cover 102. The frustum-shaped design gives the third cylinder body protective cover a larger diameter at the bottom, thus providing a wider support surface when placed, helping to prevent the entire protective cover and the internal acetylene cylinder from tipping over due to accidental collisions or uneven ground. In addition, the lower end of the third cylinder body protective cover in this design is equipped with multiple spaced-apart support feet. These support feet not only further enhance the stability of the protective cover but also adapt to different ground conditions, reducing swaying caused by uneven ground.
[0042] In one specific implementation, the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 further includes a fourth cylinder body protective cover, the outer contour of which is frustoconical and partially covers the outer periphery of the first cylinder body protective cover 102.
[0043] In this design, the acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 abandons the aforementioned practice of setting a second or third cylinder protective cover outside the first cylinder protective cover 102. Instead, it adopts an innovative fourth cylinder protective cover design around the outer periphery of the first cylinder protective cover 102. Specifically, the fourth cylinder protective cover is frustum-shaped and partially covers the outer periphery of the first cylinder protective cover 102. This design, through the frustum shape of the fourth cylinder protective cover, increases the diameter of the cover at the bottom, thereby providing a wider support surface when placed, which helps to improve the stability of the entire protective cover and reduces the possibility of the acetylene cylinder tipping over due to accidental collisions or uneven ground.
[0044] The solution proposed in this application, through the cooperation of the fourth cylinder body protective cover and the first cylinder body protective cover 102, can also improve the heat insulation and sound insulation performance of the protective cover to a certain extent, further reduce the impact of the external environment on the acetylene cylinder, and ensure the safety of the acetylene cylinder during use.
[0045] The acetylene cylinder protective cover 100 provided in this application can not only effectively prevent the acetylene cylinder from being exposed to the sun and reduce the danger caused by direct sunlight, but also stably support the acetylene cylinder and prevent it from tilting, thereby comprehensively improving the safety of the acetylene cylinder during use and storage.
[0046] While numerous embodiments of this application have been shown and described herein, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Many modifications, alterations, and alternatives will arise for those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and intent of this application. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of this application described herein may be employed in the practice of this application. The appended claims are intended to define the scope of protection of this application and therefore cover equivalents or alternatives within the scope of these claims.
