A worm 12 is provided at the output end of the motor 11 and is meshed with the worm gear 10. The folding support device 5 is symmetrically provided with two groups on both sides of the natural gas tank 1. The natural gas tank 1 can be supported by rotating the hydraulic cylinder 8 to a vertical state, so that the transport vehicle can be inserted from the bottom of the natural gas tank 1 to facilitate loading and unloading.
[0021] like Figure 1-2 The rotating device 4 includes a rotating shaft 13, which rotates in the fixed plate 2. The lower end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the slot plate 3.
