DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present embodiment provides a gas cylinder bracket for trucks, including a support member 2 fixed to the corner of an integrally-injected support frame 1; the integrally-injected process of the support frame has few process steps and low cost. Instead of the original gas cylinder bracket, the production process usually adopts the method of stamping out each part of the bracket separately and then welding each part together; the process has many process steps and high manufacturing cost. The support frame 1 is respectively surrounded by a first support frame 3 and a second support frame 4 on both sides; the outer walls of the first support frame 3 body and the second support frame 4 body are respectively provided with evenly distributed honeycomb core grooves; the design of the outer wall honeycomb core grooves of the first support frame 3 body and the second support frame 4 body greatly reduces the weight of the support frame while ensuring the strength of the support frame, thereby achieving the purpose of weight reduction.

[0027] The upper surface of the second support frame 4 is an arc-shaped curved surface 5 and is adapted to the gas cylinder; the gas cylinder can be placed horizontally on the arc-shaped curved surface 5 on the upper surface of the second support frame 4. In order to further enhance the strength and rigidity of the support frame without increasing the wall thickness of the support frame, to save material usage, reduce weight and reduce costs, a plurality of reinforcing plates 6 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the second support frame 4 on a common vertical surface below the curved surface 5 in the second support frame 4.

[0028] The body of the second support frame 4 extends downwards by 10 to 20 cm beyond the body of the first support frame 3; the support frame 1 is placed on the truck. Since the body of the second support frame 4 extends downwards by 10 to 20 cm beyond the body of the first support frame 3, the second support frame 4 contacts the truck surface, and the first support frame 3 is 10 to 20 cm away from the truck surface, forming a storage space. The pipeline connecting the truck to the gas cylinder and the line of the truck can pass through this space. Four reserved holes 41 are arranged at intervals in the middle of the second support frame 4 below the curved surface 5. The reserved holes 41 are arranged between the reinforcing plates 6. The reserved holes 41 are arranged for passing the pipeline connecting the gas cylinder to the truck. A reserved hole is also arranged on the left side of the first support frame 3 near the edge for the passage of the pipeline.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first support frame 3 includes a support column 31 arranged in the middle of the rectangular frame, and the support column 31 divides the rectangular frame into two square frames, and the two square frames are respectively provided with X-shaped reinforcement frames 32. The structure of the first support frame 3 saves the amount of materials, reduces the weight, and reduces the cost.

[0030] Furthermore, the support member 2 includes a first support plate 21 vertically connected to the middle and upper part of the second support plate 22. The first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are provided with mounting holes corresponding to the support frame 1; the mounting holes are used to fix the support member 2 to the bracket 1 through bolts, and are also used to fix the entire bracket to the truck.

[0031] Furthermore, a mounting tube 23 is provided on the upper part of the first support plate 21; the mounting tube 23 is two through tubes arranged vertically and side by side. The two mounting tubes 23 are designed to connect the bolts at both ends of the external fixing belt (not shown in the figure), so that the external fixing belt is closely attached to the upper surface of the gas cylinder, and the gas cylinder is tightly fixed on the bracket without moving.

[0032] The use process of this bracket is as follows: first, the integrally formed support member 2 is connected to the support member 1 through the mounting hole bolts, and the bracket is fixed on the truck; the gas cylinder is placed horizontally on the arc-shaped curved surface 5 on the upper surface of the second support frame 4, and the bolts set at both ends of the external fixing belt pass through the mounting tube 23 connected to the upper part of the first support plate 21 to fix the gas cylinder on the bracket, and the pipeline installed between the truck and the gas cylinder passes through four reserved holes 41 set at intervals in the middle of the second support frame 4 below the curved surface 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, a gas bottle bracket for a truck is provided, which is light in weight, has few production steps and is low in cost.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
