[0002] Oxygen cylinders, gas cylinders and other gas cylinders need to be transported to distribution sites after being filled in the workshop, and then distributed through the distribution sites.

[0003] In the prior art, trucks are used for loading, and gas cylinders are directly placed in the cargo box of the truck for transportation. In actual operation, it is found that this mode of transportation is limited to full loading. When there is space in the cargo box, there is space for the gas cylinders to shake. When the vehicle is bumpy or the inertia is too large when turning, the gas cylinders will be unstable or even fall over, which poses certain safety hazards.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to prevent the gas cylinders from falling over, the conventional practice is to use ropes for reinforcement, the ropes are passed through multiple gas cylinders in turn, and then the two ends of the ropes are tied and fixed to the truck bed. This fixing method can cope with general bumps and rolls. When the vehicle rolls heavily or rolls over, the ropes cannot fix the gas cylinders, causing them to fall. Especially on a road, the fallen gas cylinders are at risk of explosion when hit by the rear vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a gas cylinder transport reinforcement device which has the technical characteristics of being able to realize the clamping and fixation of gas cylinders, making the fixation more secure, and being able to be flexibly adjusted according to the number of gas cylinders.

[0030] like Figure 1 A gas cylinder transport reinforcement device shown includes a guide rail structure 1 installed at both sides of the interior of a vehicle body, and reinforcement units 2 slidingly fitted between the two sides of the guide rail structure 1, wherein more than two reinforcement units 2 are provided, and the transported gas cylinder is clamped between two adjacent reinforcement units 2, and a tightening device 3 is fitted between adjacent reinforcement units 2.

[0031] The number of reinforcement units 2 used is adjusted according to the number of gas cylinders carried in a single transport.

[0032] Adjacent reinforcement units 2 are tightened by a tightening device 3, which firstly serves to clamp the gas cylinder, and secondly connects the multiple reinforcement units 2 in the truck bed into a whole to increase stability.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the guide rail structure 1 includes a guide rail body 101, which is fixedly installed along the inner wall of the truck bed. The end of the guide rail body 101 away from the inner wall of the truck bed is provided with a slide groove 102, and the reinforcement unit 2 slides along the slide groove 102.

[0034] See also Figure 4 As shown, a vibration-damping pad 103 made of elastic rubber material is sandwiched between the guide rail body 101 and the truck bed.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcement unit 2 includes a reinforcement plate 201, both ends of which are provided with slots 202, in which a pulley 203 is rotatably installed, and the pulley 203 cooperates with the slide groove 102, and a threaded hole 204 cooperating with the tightening device 3 is penetrated through the side of the reinforcement plate 201, and a plurality of weight-reducing holes 205 are provided on the top of the reinforcement plate 201, and an internal thread is machined in one of the weight-reducing holes 205, and a push rod 265 is cooperated with the internal thread, and the lower end of the push rod 265 is screwed down and abuts against the bottom of the truck bucket.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the gas cylinder is clamped by two adjacent reinforcing plates 201 to prevent the gas cylinder from shaking during transportation.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support pad 104 for supporting the pulley 203 is installed at the bottom of the slide groove 102 . The support pad 104 is made of hard rubber and has an inclined surface 105 for supporting the pulley 203 .

[0038] In the above technical solution, the inclined surface 105 is used to support the pulley 203 to prevent the pulley 203 from contacting the bottom of the slide groove 102, so that the reinforcement plate 201 can slide smoothly.

[0039] See also Figure 2 As shown, positioning grooves 206 for flush positioning are provided on both sides of the reinforcement plate 201. The positioning groove 206 is provided for fixing the cylinder. In the present embodiment, the positioning groove 206 is an arc-shaped groove. An inner liner 207 is provided in the positioning groove 206. The inner liner 207 is provided to prevent the cylinder from shaking due to the matching margin between the cylinder and the positioning groove 206 when the vehicle is bumpy. Secondly, it has the technical effect of providing soft protection for the outside of the cylinder and can also increase friction to prevent the vertical bounce of the cylinder when the vehicle is bumpy. The inner liner 207 is made of elastic rubber material with a thickness of 10 mm and is fixed to the positioning groove 206 by gluing.

[0040] See also Figure 1 As shown, a rubber block 226 is installed at the lower end of the push rod 265, and a polygonal force hole 227 is processed at the upper end of the push rod 206. The rubber block 226 is provided to increase the position stability of the reinforcement plate after extrusion deformation. The force hole 227 is convenient for applying rotational torque through a wrench.

[0041] See also Figure 3 As shown, the tightening device 3 is a stud bolt, and both ends of the tightening device 3 are screwed into the threaded holes 204 on both sides. The two sections of the thread of the tightening device 3 are screwed in opposite directions, so that when the tightening device 3 rotates, the two pieces 201 move closer to or away from each other.

[0042] The method of transporting gas cylinders through this equipment is as follows:

[0043] First, slide a reinforcement device 2 along the guide rail structure 1. The sliding depth is determined according to the loading requirements of the gas cylinders. When the number of loaded gas cylinders is small, the sliding depth is shallow, which is convenient for unloading the gas cylinders later. When the reinforcement device 2 slides to the predetermined position, the gas cylinders are loaded. After loading a row of gas cylinders, slide in the next reinforcement device 2, and tighten the two reinforcement devices 2 through the tightening device 3. At this time, the gas cylinders are clamped and fixed. Repeat the above steps until all gas cylinders are loaded. Then, the top rod 265 is rotated downward to press against the bottom of the truck bed to complete the position locking of the reinforcement device 2. The present application rotates the top rod 265 so that its bottom is tightly pressed against the bottom of the truck bed, so that the reinforcement device 2 is positioned on the guide rail structure 1. In order to further increase the locking and fixing, bolts can be further connected between the guide rail body 101 and the reinforcement plate 201.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and there are many variations. All variations that can be directly derived or associated with the content disclosed by ordinary technicians in this field should be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
