[0064] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Example

[0065] See also Figure 1 As shown, a saddle for a vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage bottle is shown, including a seat plate 1, a plurality of through holes 2 opened on the seat plate 1 for placing the hydrogen storage bottle, and an axial side portion of each through hole 2 is provided with a support ring 30 integrally formed with the seat plate 1 for supporting the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0066] In this embodiment, ten through holes 2 are provided on the base plate 1, and correspondingly, ten support rings 30 are also provided, and the two can cooperate to place ten hydrogen storage bottles.

[0067] Of course, according to specific needs, other numbers of through holes 2 can also be provided on the seat plate 1 of the present application.

[0068] In this embodiment, the saddle also includes a protective ring 31 integrally formed with the seat plate 1 and disposed on one axial edge of each through hole 2. The protective ring 31 is located above the support ring 30. The length of the protective ring 31 is greater than the length of the support ring 30, and the width of the protective ring 31 is less than the width of the support ring 30. The protective ring 31 here is used to protect the top and both sides of the hydrogen storage bottle. When the hydrogen storage bottle is shaken, it may touch the protective ring 31 of a certain width, reducing the risk of damage to the hydrogen storage bottle. At the same time, a soft protective pad can be provided between the support ring 30, the protective ring 31 and the hydrogen storage bottle to further protect the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0069] In this embodiment, the seat plate 1 is a rectangular plate, and ten through holes 2 are arranged in a rectangular array on the seat plate 1. The seat plate 1, through holes 2, support ring 30 and protective ring 31 are integrally stamped and formed, which is convenient for processing and reduces the production cost of the saddle.

[0070] A first flange 1a is provided on the peripheral side of the seat plate 1 and is bent integrally with the seat plate 1. A support ring 30 is provided on the same side of the first flange 1a. When implementing this embodiment, the two saddles are placed in parallel, and the first flanges 1a on the two seat plates 1 are opposite to each other; then the first flanges 1a of the two seat plates 1 are connected by a bracket so that the two saddles form a whole, and the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged relative to each other and face the inside of the whole; then ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed in the ten through holes 2 in sequence; finally, a drawstring buckle and a drawstring can be provided on the outside of the whole, and the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles can be fixed respectively. The drawstring here is a mature product that can be purchased on the market and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In order to protect the pipelines and valves at both ends of the hydrogen storage bottle, protective chambers can be set on the outside of the two saddles in this embodiment, and the two protective chambers can be directly connected to the saddles by bolts. Example

[0072] See also Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the only difference from Example 1 is that the support ring 30 and the first flange 1a in this embodiment are respectively arranged on both sides of the seat plate 1, and at least one limiting plate 6a is provided on the edge of the support ring 30 to prevent the pull strap from slipping.

[0073] When implementing this embodiment, the two saddles are placed in parallel, and the first flanges 1a on the two seat plates 1 are opposite to each other; then the first flanges 1a of the two seat plates 1 are connected by a bracket, so that the two saddles form a whole, and the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged back to back and both face the outside of the whole; then the ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed in the ten through holes 2 in turn, so that their radial lower sides are supported on the support rings 30; at this time, since a limiting plate 6a is provided on the support ring 30, it is no longer necessary to provide a drawstring buckle on the outside of the whole, and it is only necessary to fix one end of the drawstring to the support ring 30, and then wrap the other end of the drawstring along the circumference of the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one week and fix it to the other end of the support ring 30, so as to realize the binding of the end of the hydrogen storage bottle, and the limiting plate 6a can resist the drawstring to prevent the drawstring from slipping off the support ring 30. Example

[0074] See also Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the only difference from Example 1 is that the saddle in this embodiment also includes two L-shaped notches 4 respectively opened at the two top corners of the seat plate 1, and the two ends of the L-shaped notch 4 are respectively connected to the two adjacent first flanges 1a.

[0075] The steps for installing a hydrogen storage bottle using the saddle of this embodiment are roughly the same as those of Example 1, with the difference being that in this embodiment, after the two saddles are connected as a whole, two square tubes can be installed on top of the two saddles, each of which is placed in two L-shaped notches 4 on the same side of the two seat plates 1. In this way, the ends of the square tubes can extend to both sides, and a frame structure is connected to the ends and bottom of the square tubes. This frame structure can form the main body of the protective chamber, which is used to protect the pipelines and valves. The protective chamber with a frame structure as the main body has higher connection strength and better firmness, which can provide better protection for the pipelines and valves.

[0076] At the same time, the size of the square tube can match the size of the L-shaped notch 4 , so that the square tube can be accommodated in the L-shaped notch 4 . Example

[0077] See also Figure 4As shown, this embodiment differs from Example 1 in the following ways: 1. The support ring 30 and the first flange 1a in this embodiment are respectively provided on both sides of the seat plate 1, and at least one stopper 6a is provided on the edge of the support ring 30 to prevent the strap from slipping. 2. The saddle in this embodiment further includes two L-shaped notches 4 respectively provided at the two top corners of the seat plate 1.

[0078] When implementing this embodiment, the two saddles are placed in parallel, and the first flanges 1a on the two seat plates 1 are opposite to each other; the first flanges 1a of the two seat plates 1 are then connected by a bracket, so that the two saddles form a whole, and the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged back to back and both face the outside of the whole; then the ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed in the ten through holes 2 in turn, so that their radial lower sides are supported on the support rings 30; at this time, since a limiting plate 6a is provided on the support ring, it is no longer necessary to provide a drawstring buckle on the outside of the whole, and it is only necessary to fix one end of the drawstring on the support ring 30, and then wrap the other end of the drawstring along the circumference of the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one week and fix it to the other end of the support ring 30, so that the end of the hydrogen storage bottle can be tied, and the limiting plate 6a can resist the drawstring to prevent the drawstring from slipping off the support ring 30.

[0079] After the two saddles are connected as a whole, two square tubes can be installed on top of them, with each tube's ends positioned in two L-shaped notches 4 on the same side of the two seat plates 1. This allows the ends of the square tubes to extend outward, with a frame structure attached to the ends and bottom of the tubes. This frame structure forms the main body of the protective chamber, protecting the pipes and valves. A protective chamber with a frame structure as its main body offers greater connection strength and stability, providing superior protection for the pipes and valves. Example

[0080] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a specific support frame for a vehicle-mounted hydrogen storage bottle is shown, which includes two saddles and a connecting bracket arranged between the two saddles. The two saddles and the connecting bracket constitute the main body 7 of the support frame. The saddle is also provided with a plurality of auxiliary parts 6 that can assist in positioning the drawstrings used to tighten and fix the hydrogen storage bottle. The plurality of auxiliary parts 6 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of through holes 2.

[0081] The support frame in this embodiment adopts the saddle in Example 1, and the seat plates 1 of the two saddles are parallel to each other. The multiple through holes 2 on one seat plate 1 correspond one-to-one to the multiple through holes 2 on the other seat plate 1, and the two corresponding through holes 2 are located on the same horizontal plane. The two end portions of the hydrogen storage bottle in the length direction are respectively inserted into the two corresponding through holes 2.

[0082] like Figure 5As shown, when the support frame of this embodiment is in use, the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged relative to each other and face the interior of the main body 7. The auxiliary component 6 is provided on the exterior of the main body 7 and includes two drawstring buckles 60, respectively provided on either side of the through hole 2. More specifically, the two drawstring buckles 60 are located on both ends of the support ring 30. This arrangement allows the radial lower portion of the hydrogen storage bottle to be supported on the support ring 30, while the two drawstring buckles 60 can cooperate with the drawstring to achieve binding of the radial upper portion and both sides of the hydrogen storage bottle, greatly improving the fixing strength of the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hydrogen storage bottles are installed as follows: ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed horizontally into the main body 7 in turn, and ensure that the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles are inserted into the through holes 2 corresponding to the two seat plates 1, and the main body of the hydrogen storage bottle can be supported on the support ring 30, and then one end of the drawstring is fixed to the drawstring buckle 60 on one side of the through hole 2, and then the drawstring is wrapped around the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one week and fixed to the drawstring buckle 60 on the other side to complete the binding of the end of the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0084] Combine Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting bracket includes two sets of bracket bodies 50, which are arranged perpendicularly to the arrangement of the two saddles. Each set of bracket bodies 50 includes a first connecting rod 500 and a second connecting rod 501 arranged vertically. The two ends of the first connecting rod 500 are connected to the top corners of the two seat plates 1 on the same side, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 501 are connected to the bottom corners of the two seat plates 1 on the same side. The first connecting rod 500 and the second connecting rod 501 securely connect the two seat plates 1 to form a rectangular parallelepiped structure, which provides high strength to the support frame.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first flanges 1 a in the two seat plates 1 are arranged opposite to each other, and both ends of the bracket body 50 are respectively connected to the two first flanges 1 a located on the same side of the two seat plates 1 .

[0086] In this embodiment, again combined Figure 5 As shown, the connecting bracket also includes four first reinforcing rods 51 and two second reinforcing rods 52. The four first reinforcing rods 51 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the main body 7. The two ends of each first reinforcing rod 51 are connected to the first flange 1a on the same side of the two seat plates 1. The two ends of the second reinforcing rods 52 are provided with connecting seats 53, and the two ends of the second reinforcing rods 52 are connected to the plate surfaces of the two seat plates 1 through the connecting seats 53. The arrangement of the first reinforcing rods 51 and the second reinforcing rods 52 can further improve the strength of the support frame.

[0087] As a preferred solution, the first reinforcing rod 51 is X-shaped and has four connecting ends, each of which is connected to the first flange 1a on the same side of the two seat plates 1. The X-shaped structure can further improve the connection strength of the first reinforcing rod 51 and further ensure the firmness of the support frame.

[0088] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the first flange 1a at the bottom of the seat plate 1 is connected to the bracket body 50 via bolts, with the bolt heads located below the first flange 1a. The support frame also includes a plurality of spacers 8 disposed at the bottom of the first flange 1a and bolt holes 9 defined within the spacers 8, with the bolt heads received in the bolt holes 9. The spacers 8 cover the exposed bolt heads protruding from the bottom of the first flange 1a, ensuring a smooth bottom surface for the support frame and preventing it from shaking when installed on the vehicle. Of course, depending on specific needs, the spacers 8 can be replaced with a square tube or other structure, as long as they can accommodate the bolt heads.

[0089] Combine Figure 8 As shown, the support frame further includes two groups of first protection compartments 11 respectively arranged on the outside of the two saddles for protecting the pipelines and valves at both ends of the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0090] In this embodiment, each first protective compartment 11 includes two first baffles 110 respectively connected to both sides of the seat plate 1, a first compartment door (not shown in the figure) connected to the side of the two first baffles 110 away from the seat plate 1, and two fifth connecting rods 111 respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first compartment door, wherein the two ends of one fifth connecting rod 111 are respectively connected to the top corners on the same side of the two first baffles 110, and the two ends of the other fifth connecting rod 111 are respectively connected to the bottom corners on the same side of the two first baffles 110.

[0091] According to specific needs, a baffle may be provided on the top of the first protection compartment 11 .

[0092] The first baffle 110 is connected to the seat plate 1 by bolts and the bolts are located inside the first protection compartment 11. As a preferred solution, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the first protective compartment 11 further includes a plurality of elongated holes 112 formed on the first baffle 110. The elongated holes 112 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of bolts, allowing workers to remove and install the bolts from outside the first protective compartment 11. In this way, workers can easily operate the bolts inside the first protective compartment 11 from outside by inserting their hands into the elongated holes 112 without having to go deeper into the first protective compartment 11, thereby improving workers' work efficiency.

[0093] In this embodiment, if Figure 9As shown, the fifth connecting rod 111 includes a rod body 1110, two second flanges 1111, and two third flanges 1112. The rod body 1110, the second flanges 1111, and the third flanges 1112 are connected to the two first baffles 110 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The cross-section of the rod body 1110 in the width direction is L-shaped. The two second flanges 1111 are connected to both sides of the rod body 1110 in the width direction and are perpendicular to the rod body 1110. The two third flanges 1112 are connected to one side of the two second flanges 1111 in the width direction and are perpendicular to the second flanges 1111. The perpendicular arrangement of the rod body 1110, the second flanges 1111, and the third flanges 1112 can greatly enhance the strength of the fifth connecting rod 111, thereby improving the overall strength of the first protective compartment 11. Example

[0094] See also Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the difference from embodiment 5 is that the support frame includes two saddles and a connecting bracket provided between the two saddles, and the two saddles and the connecting bracket constitute the main body 7 of the support frame. Among them, the saddle adopts the saddle in embodiment 2.

[0095] In this embodiment, the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged facing away from each other and both face outward from the main body 7. At least one limiting piece 6a provided on the edge of the support ring 30 prevents the drawstring from slipping, and the limiting piece 6a extends away from the through-hole 2. More specifically, the limiting piece 6a is provided on the edge of the support ring 30, on which the hydrogen storage bottle rests, and is located on the side of the support ring 30 away from the through-hole 2, i.e., on the underside of the support ring 30. When the drawstring is used to secure the hydrogen storage bottle, the limiting piece 6a limits the drawstring's position.

[0096] In this embodiment, there are three limiting pieces 6a. This solution can eliminate the need for the strap buckle 60 on the seat plate 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing the seat plate 1.

[0097] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hydrogen storage bottles are installed as follows: ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed horizontally into the main body 7 in sequence, and the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles are ensured to be inserted into the corresponding through holes 2 of the two seat plates 1, and the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles can be supported on the support ring 30 outside the main body 7. Then, one end of the drawstring is fixed to the support ring 30, and the other end of the drawstring is wrapped around the support ring 30 along the circumference of the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one circle and then fixed to the other end of the support ring 30 again, thereby completing the binding of the ends of the hydrogen storage bottles. During the wrapping, the drawstring can be simultaneously bound to the upper surface of the hydrogen storage bottle and the lower surface of the support ring 30, and the limit plate 6a can resist the drawstring to prevent the drawstring from slipping off the support ring 30. Example

[0098] See also Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, a major difference from Example 5 is that this embodiment applies the saddle of Example 3, which includes two L-shaped notches 4 respectively opened at the two top corners of the seat plate 1, and the connecting bracket includes two groups of bracket bodies 50. The arrangement direction of the two groups of bracket bodies 50 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two saddles, and each group of bracket bodies 50 includes a third connecting rod 50a and a fourth connecting rod 50b arranged up and down, and the two ends of the third connecting rod 50a are respectively connected to the seat plate 1 directly below the two L-shaped notches 4, and the two ends of the fourth connecting rod 50b are respectively connected to the bottom corners on the same side of the two seat plates 1.

[0099] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged relative to each other and face the inside of the main body 7, and the auxiliary component 6 is provided on the side wall surface of the saddle facing the outside of the main body 7. At this time, the auxiliary component 6 includes two drawstring buckles 60 respectively provided on both sides of the through hole 2. More specifically, the two drawstring buckles 60 are located on the side portions of both ends of the support ring 30. This arrangement enables the radial lower portion of the hydrogen storage bottle to be supported on the support ring 30, and the two drawstring buckles 60 can cooperate with the drawstring to achieve the binding of the radial upper portion and both sides of the hydrogen storage bottle, which greatly improves the fixing strength of the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0100] In this embodiment, the hydrogen storage bottles are installed as follows: ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed horizontally into the main body 7 in turn, and ensure that the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles are inserted into the through holes 2 corresponding to the two seat plates 1, and the main body of the hydrogen storage bottle can be supported on the support ring 30, and then the drawstring is fixed in the drawstring buckle 60 on one side of the through hole 2, and then the drawstring is wrapped around the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one week and the other end of the drawstring is fixed in the drawstring buckle 60 on the other side to complete the binding of the end of the hydrogen storage bottle.

[0101] In this embodiment, if Figure 12 As shown, the first flange 1a at the bottom of the seat plate 1 is connected to the bracket body 50 by bolts, and the head of the bolt is located below the first flange 1a. The support frame also includes a square tube 10 provided at the bottom of the first flange 1a. The length direction of the square tube 10 is consistent with the width direction of the seat plate 1, and the head of the bolt is accommodated in the square tube 10. The provision of the square tube 10 can cover the bolt head exposed and protruding from the bottom of the first flange 1a, ensuring the flatness of the bottom of the support frame and preventing the support frame from shaking when placed on the car. An operating hole 101 is provided at the bottom of the square tube for exposing the bolt head. Of course, according to specific needs, the square tube 10 can also be replaced with a structure such as a pad, as long as it can accommodate the bolt head.

[0102] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 14As shown, another major difference from Example 5 is that the support frame also includes a second protection compartment 12 which is arranged outside the main body 7 and is used to protect the pipelines and valves at both ends of the hydrogen storage bottle and has a different structure from the first protection compartment.

[0103] The second protection compartment 12 includes two protection frames 120 respectively located on both sides of the main body 7 of the support frame, two parallel first square tubes 121 arranged at the top of the main body 7, and two parallel second square tubes 122 arranged at the bottom of the main body 7. The planes where the two protection frames 120 are located are parallel to each other and parallel to the plane where the seat plate 1 is located. The first square tube 121 is used to connect the two corresponding top corners of the two protection frames 120, and the second square tube 122 is used to connect the two corresponding bottom corners of the two protection frames 120.

[0104] The L-shaped notch 4 has a horizontal bearing surface 40 and a vertical abutment surface 41. The upper surface of the third connecting rod 50a is coplanar with the bearing surface 40. The upper surface of the third connecting rod 50a and the bearing surfaces 40 of the two L-shaped notches 4 at its ends form a mounting surface. The first square tube 121 is mounted on the mounting surface, with its side portions abutting the abutment surfaces 41 of the two L-shaped notches 4.

[0105] In this way, through the cooperation between the L-shaped notch 4 and the first square tube 121, the first square tube 121 can be supported on the installation surface and extend to both sides. At the same time, a protective frame 120 is arranged between the first square tube 121 and the second square tube 122, so that the first square tube 121, the second square tube 122, the main body 7 of the support frame and the protective frame 120 can be combined into a solid overall structure, which greatly improves the overall strength of the second protective compartment 12.

[0106] In this embodiment, the size of the first square tube 121 matches the size of the L-shaped notch 4, so that the first square tube 121 can be completely accommodated in the L-shaped notch 4 without affecting the overall size of the support frame and the flatness of the top and side surfaces.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second square tube 122 is supported on the bottom of the main body 7 . The height of the second square tube 122 is the same as that of the square tube 10 , so as to ensure that the bottom of the supporting frame main body 7 is flat.

[0108] In this embodiment, two rectangular frames 123 are formed between each seat panel 1 and the protective frame 120 adjacent to the seat panel 1. Each rectangular frame 123 houses multiple third reinforcing rods 124, with each third reinforcing rod 124 connected at both ends to a side edge of the protective frame 120 and the corresponding side of the seat panel 1. These third reinforcing rods 124 further enhance the strength of the second protective compartment 12. The second protective compartment 12 also includes multiple second baffles (not shown) attached to the rectangular frames 123 and a second compartment door (not shown) mounted within the protective frame 120.

[0109] According to specific needs, a baffle can be provided on the top of the second protection compartment 12 . Example

[0110] See also Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the difference from embodiment 7 is that the support frame includes two saddles and a connecting bracket arranged between the two saddles, and the two saddles and the connecting bracket constitute the main body 7 of the support frame. Among them, the saddle adopts the saddle in embodiment 4.

[0111] The support rings 30 on the two seat plates 1 are arranged facing away from each other and both face outward from the main body 7. At least one stopper 6a, located along the edge of the support ring 30, prevents the drawstring from slipping. The stopper 6a extends away from the through-hole 2. More specifically, the stopper 6a is located along the edge of the support ring 30, which supports the hydrogen storage bottle. The stopper 6a is located on the side of the support ring 30 away from the through-hole 2, i.e., on the underside of the support ring 30. When the drawstring is used to secure the hydrogen storage bottle, the stopper 6a limits the drawstring's position.

[0112] In this embodiment, there are three limiting pieces 6a. This solution can eliminate the need for the strap buckle 60 on the seat plate 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing the seat plate 1.

[0113] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hydrogen storage bottles are installed as follows: ten hydrogen storage bottles are placed horizontally into the main body 7 in sequence, and the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles are ensured to be inserted into the corresponding through holes 2 of the two seat plates 1, and the two ends of the hydrogen storage bottles can be supported on the support ring 30 outside the main body 7. Then, one end of the drawstring is fixed to the support ring 30, and the other end of the drawstring is wrapped around the support ring 30 along the circumference of the hydrogen storage bottle for at least one circle and then fixed to the other end of the support ring 30 again, thereby completing the binding of the ends of the hydrogen storage bottles. During the wrapping, the drawstring can be simultaneously bound to the upper surface of the hydrogen storage bottle and the lower surface of the support ring 30, and the limit plate 6a can resist the drawstring to prevent the drawstring from slipping off the support ring 30.
