The two side frames 212 are located at both sides of the top frame 211 and form an insertion space below the top frame 211.

[0060] The top frame 211 is used to support and fix the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1. Specifically, the top frame 211 is square, including two horizontal beams and two vertical beams arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the two horizontal beams and the two vertical beams are enclosed to form a square.

[0061] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing holes are provided on the top of the top frame 211, and the axes of the fixing holes are perpendicular to the top frame 211. A plurality of loading holes corresponding to the fixing holes are provided on the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1, and the top frame 211 is detachably connected to the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 by inserting pins into the fixing holes and the loading holes.

[0062] In other embodiments, a plurality of fasteners may be provided on the top frame 211, one end of the fasteners being rotatable relative to the top frame 211 and the other end being detachable from the top frame 211, so that the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 can be horizontally placed on the top frame 211, and then the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 is fixed by the fastening of the fasteners with the top frame 211. Specifically, the fastener is U-shaped, one end of the U-shaped opening is rotatably connected to the top frame 211, and the other end is detachably connected to the top frame 211.

[0063] The side frames 212 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top frame 211 to support the top frame 211. Specifically, in this embodiment, the side frames 212 are trapezoidal, including two side waists, a top edge connecting the tops of the two side waists, and a bottom edge connecting the bottoms of the two side waists.

[0064] The side frame 212 further includes a reinforcing edge disposed between the top edge and the bottom edge to enhance the strength of the side frame 212 .

[0065] The brake caster 213 is a caster with a brake, that is, the brake caster 213 can be moved to enable the frame support frame 21 to move; the brake caster 213 can be made immovable by braking. That is, the frame support frame 21 can be moved by the brake caster 213 to transport the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 from the previous process to the loading station of the loading process, and is fixed to the loading station by braking the brake caster 213. Specifically, the number of the brake casters 213 is four, that is, a brake caster 213 is respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of each side frame 212.

[0067] Furthermore, the gas cylinder loading system 2 further includes a guide rail 24, which is slidably matched with the brake caster 213 of the frame support frame 21, so that the frame support frame 21 moves along the guide rail 24. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two guide rails 24, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The two guide rails 24 correspond to the brake casters 213 at the bottom of the two side frames 212 respectively.

[0068] The guide rail 24 can extend between the previous process and the next process of the loading process, so that the frame support frame 21 can move to the previous process or the next process on the guide rail 24. The guide rail 24 can also be extended only to a certain distance from the previous process or the next process of the loading process according to actual conditions, and the brake caster 213 of the frame support frame 21 can be separated from the guide rail 24 and continue to move to the previous process or the next process of the loading process, which can reduce the construction of the guide rail 24, save costs and reduce the floor space.

[0069] See also Figure 7-Figure 9 The translation tool 22 includes a moving frame 221, a gas cylinder guide mechanism and a lifting member (not shown in the figure).

[0070] The mobile frame 221 includes a frame body, two cantilevers 2213 with one end fixed on the frame body, and a brake caster 2214 arranged at the bottom of the frame body.

[0071] The frame includes two vertical supports 2211 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and bottom supports 2212 respectively arranged on the same side of the bottom ends of the two vertical supports 2211. A cantilever 2213 is arranged on the vertical support 2211, and the cantilever 2213 and the bottom support 2212 are located on the same side. In other embodiments, a connecting beam is connected between the two vertical supports 2211, and the connecting beam is located in the middle of the two vertical supports 2211. The number of the cantilever 2213 is one, three or other numbers, and the cantilever 2213 is connected to the connecting beam and is located on the same side as the vertical support 2211.

[0072] The brake caster 2214 is a caster with a brake, that is, the brake caster 2214 can move to enable the mobile frame 221 to move; the brake caster 2214 can be immobilized by braking. Specifically, there are four brake casters 2214, that is, a brake caster 2214 is respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of each bottom support 2212.

[0073] The gas cylinder guide mechanism is arranged on the mobile frame 221 and can move with the mobile frame 221. The gas cylinder guide mechanism comprises a base frame and a plurality of guide components 222 arranged on the base frame and distributed in parallel with each other.

[0074] The base frame is arranged on the cantilever 2213, and specifically includes a plurality of mutually parallel support beams 2221. The support beams 2221 are arranged perpendicular to the cantilever 2213. In this embodiment, the two ends of the support beam 2221 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two cantilevers 2213. The number of the support beams 2221 is three. In other embodiments, the number of the support beams 2221 can be set according to actual conditions. The arrangement of the support beams 2221 and the cantilever 2213 is arranged according to actual conditions.

[0076] Each group of guide assemblies 222 includes two rows of guide members arranged opposite to each other, and each row of guide members includes a plurality of mutually parallel rotatable rotating wheels 2222 located in the same distribution plane. Specifically, there are three groups of guide assemblies 222, and the two rows of guide members of each group of guide assemblies 222 are respectively arranged on both sides of the same support beam 2221.

[0077] In this embodiment, the distribution plane of the two rows of guide members of the same guide assembly 222 is V-shaped, and the rotating wheels 2222 in the two rows of guide members of the same guide assembly 222 are symmetrically arranged. In other embodiments, the rotating wheels 2222 of each row of guide members can also be arranged horizontally.

[0078] The outer circumference of each rotating wheel 2222 is covered with a protective cover 2223, which is made of a flexible material, thereby preventing damage to the outer shell of the gas cylinder 12 of the hydrogen supply system 1 during loading onto the frame 11, thereby protecting the gas cylinder 12. The flexible material may be rubber or the like.

[0079] The lifting member is disposed on the mobile frame 221 and connected to the base frame so as to drive the guide assembly 222 to rise and fall along the mobile frame 221. Specifically in this embodiment, the lifting member is a telescopic cylinder, including a cylinder body and a telescopic rod that can be telescoped relative to the cylinder body, the cylinder body is fixed on the cantilever 2213, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod is fixed to the base frame, and then the telescopic rod drives the support beam 2221 to rise and fall relative to the cantilever 2213 when it is telescoped relative to the cylinder body, so as to realize the lifting and falling of the guide assembly 222 relative to the mobile frame 221.

[0080] When the translation tool 22 is in use, the gas cylinder guide mechanism is first lowered by the lifting member, and then the translation tool 22 is inserted into the insertion space of the frame support frame 21 by the movement of the moving frame 221, so that the gas cylinder guide mechanism is located below the top frame 211, and then the gas cylinder guide mechanism is raised by the lifting member so that the rotating wheel 2222 is located on the surface of the top frame 211. Specifically, the rotating wheel 2222 rises to exceed the bottom of the frame 11 supported and fixed by the frame support frame 21, and can contact the bottom of the gas cylinder 12.

[0081] When the cylinder guide mechanism of the translation tool 22 is lowered, the top of the cylinder guide mechanism is lower than the bottom of the top frame 211 of the frame support frame 21.

[0087] The brake caster 2313 is a caster with a brake, that is, the brake caster 2313 can move to enable the base 231 to move; the brake caster 2313 can be immobilized by braking. Specifically, there are four brake casters 2313, that is, a brake caster 2313 is respectively provided at the bottom of each support leg 2311.

[0088] The support mechanism of the gas cylinder 12 includes a plurality of groups of support components 232 arranged in parallel with each other on a supporting frame of a base 231, each group of support components 232 includes two rows of support members arranged opposite to each other, and each row of support members includes a plurality of rotatable wheels 2321 parallel to each other and located in the same distribution plane.

In this embodiment, the number of support assemblies 232 is three groups, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the three supporting beams 2312.

[0090] The distribution plane of the two rows of support members of the same group of support components 232 is V-shaped, and the rotating wheels 2321 in the two rows of support members of the same group of support members are symmetrically arranged. In other embodiments, the rotating wheels 2222 of each row of support members can also be arranged horizontally.

[0091] The outer circumference of each rotating wheel 2321 is covered with a protective cover 2322, which is made of a flexible material, thereby preventing damage to the outer shell of the gas cylinder 12 during the process of supporting and supporting the gas cylinder 12 of the hydrogen supply system 1 and loading the gas cylinder 12 onto the frame 11, thereby protecting the gas cylinder 12. The flexible material can be rubber or the like.

[0092] The gas cylinder support frame 23 supports a gas cylinder 12 through each group of support components 232, and drives the movement of the gas cylinder 12 through the movement of the base 231, so that the gas cylinder 12 can be moved from the previous process to the frame support frame 21, and each gas cylinder 12 and the cavity of the frame 11 supported by the frame support frame 21 are aligned.

[0093] The process of loading the hydrogen supply system 1 with the gas cylinder loading system 2 is as follows:

[0094] S1. Move the frame support frame 21 to the previous process, and place and fix the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 on the top frame 211.

[0095] Specifically, the frame support frame 21 can move along the guide rail 24 to the previous process, or it can move along the guide rail 24 for a certain distance and then move to the previous process through the brake casters 213 of the frame support frame 21.

[0096] After braking the brake casters 213 to make the frame support frame 21 unable to move, the frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 is placed on the top frame 211 .

[0097] The frame 11 of the hydrogen supply system 1 can be placed on the top frame 211 by hoisting, and then the frame 11 can be fixed on the top frame 211 .

[0098] S2, moving the frame support frame 21 to the loading station of the loading process, and fixing the frame support frame 21.

[0099] Specifically, the loading station can be set according to actual needs. For example, the loading station can be set in the middle of the previous station and the next station, that is, the distance from the previous station is the same as the distance from the next station, so that the loading station has a larger loading space.

[0100] S3. Move the gas cylinder support frame 23 to the position where the gas cylinder 12 is loaded, and place the gas cylinder 12 of the hydrogen supply system 1 on the gas cylinder support frame 23.

[0101] Specifically, the gas cylinder support frame 23 is moved by the brake caster 2313. And when arriving at the gas cylinder 12 placement, it is braked and fixed by the brake caster 2313.

[0102] The gas cylinder 12 can be placed on the supporting assembly 232 of the gas cylinder supporting frame 23 by hoisting.

[0103] S4. Move the gas cylinder support frame 23 supporting the gas cylinders 12 to the frame support frame 21 so that each gas cylinder 12 is aligned with the cavity of the frame 11.

[0104] S5, moving the translation tooling 22 and inserting it into the insertion space of the frame support frame 21.

[0105] Specifically, before moving, the gas cylinder guide mechanism is lowered to prevent the translation tool 22 from interfering with the top frame 211 during insertion.

[0106] S6. Raise the gas cylinder guide mechanism so that each rotating wheel 2222 of the gas cylinder guide mechanism corresponds to each rotating wheel 2321 of the corresponding gas cylinder 12 support mechanism.

[0107] Specifically, the multiple rotating wheels 2222 and the multiple rotating wheels 2321 located on the same side of the same gas cylinder 12 are located on the same plane.

[0108] In this embodiment, along the direction in which the gas cylinder 12 moves to the frame 11, there is a gap between the rotating wheel 2222 of the gas cylinder guide mechanism and the rotating wheel 2321 of the gas cylinder support frame 23, and the gap is smaller than the length of the gas cylinder 12, so that the gas cylinder 12 is always assisted by the rotating force when moving. The gap can be specifically set according to actual conditions.

[0109] S7, pushing the gas cylinder 12 in sequence, so that the gas cylinder 12 moves from the gas cylinder support frame 23 to the cavity of the frame 11 along the rotation of the rotating wheel 2321 and the rotating wheel 2222, and the loading is completed.
