[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The schematic implementation manner of the utility model and its description are only used to explain the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] This embodiment provides a placement bracket for a natural gas tanker truck, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes an elastic component, a fixing seat 2 and a fixing member 3.

[0029] The elastic component includes a first elastic member 1, which can be a damping spring, a rubber pad or other elastic elements. The lower end of the first elastic member 1 is used to connect to the bearing point on the transport tanker to ensure force transmission while allowing a certain degree of elastic deformation.

[0030] The lower end of the fixing seat 2 is connected to the upper end of the first elastic member 1 by welding, screwing, etc. The fixing seat 2 can be a solid platform made of metal or composite material to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the transport tank and evenly disperse the supporting force from the first elastic member 1.

[0031] A fixing member 3 is installed on the upper end of the fixing seat 2 by screwing, welding or integral molding. The fixing member 3 is used to firmly fix the transport tank on the fixing seat 2.

[0032] During the implementation, the first elastic member 1 is installed on the transport vehicle, and the transport tank is installed on the fixing member 3. When the transport tank is transported by the transport tank truck, the compression and extension capabilities of the first elastic member 1 are used to buffer the vibration and impact caused by uneven road surface or changes in driving speed during transportation.

[0033] This structure can effectively reduce fatigue damage to the transport tanker and the transport tank structure caused by vibration, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. On the other hand, the fixing member 3 ensures the stability of the transport tank during transportation, reducing the risk of losses and accidents caused by instability. On the other hand, it can reduce the violent shaking of natural gas in the transport tank caused by vibration, thereby reducing the potential risk of leakage.

[0034] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the placement bracket further includes a base 4. The base 4 is the basic part of the entire placement bracket, and is directly and firmly connected to the transport tanker by welding, screwing, etc. A guide groove 5 is provided on the upper end surface of the base 4, and the guide groove 5 provides a linear motion track along the vertical direction for the first guide rod 102, which not only constrains the movement direction of the first elastic member 1 (the first damping spring 101 and the first guide rod 102), but also prevents it from being offset or rotated, thereby ensuring the linearity and stability of the elastic buffering effect.

[0035] The first elastic member 1 includes a first damping spring 101 and a first guide rod 102. The first guide rod 102 is inserted into the guide slot 5. The first damping spring 101 is sleeved on the first guide rod 102, and the upper and lower ends of the first damping spring 101 are respectively in contact with and abut against the base 4 and the fixing seat 2. When subjected to vibration or impact, the first guide rod 102 can move up and down in the guide slot 5 to achieve elastic buffering.

[0036] During implementation, when the transport tank truck encounters bumps during driving, the first damping spring 101 can absorb and release energy through compression and extension, thereby greatly reducing the vibration transmitted to the transport tank and maintaining its stability.

[0037] Through this structure, on the one hand, the design of the guide groove 5 makes the movement of the first elastic member 1 more precise, effectively preventing the invalid swing and deflection of the first elastic member 1 during operation, and improving the buffering effect. On the other hand, the first damping spring 101 absorbs and releases vibration energy through compression deformation, greatly alleviating the impact and vibration of the transport tank during transportation, reducing the risk of damage to the transport tank, and also reducing the risk of gas leakage.

[0038] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the elastic component further includes a second elastic member 6, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the fixing seat 2 by welding, screwing, etc., and one end of which is connected to the upper end of the base 4 by welding, screwing, etc. The second elastic member 6 can extend or contract along one side of the guide groove 5 toward the other side of the guide groove 5 under the limiting action of the first guide rod 102. In other words, the second elastic member 6 provides elastic buffering capacity in the horizontal direction.

[0039] During implementation, when the transport tank truck is subjected to lateral (from one side of the transport tank truck to the other side of the transport tank truck) impact or vibration during driving, the second elastic member 6 can stretch or contract accordingly to absorb this part of the energy, thereby providing additional support and cushioning for the transport tank in the horizontal direction.

[0040] Through this structure, on the one hand, the second elastic member 6 provides additional lateral or tilting buffering, further improving the stability of the transport tanker during driving, especially on rough roads or sharp turns, and can effectively reduce the lateral shaking and tilting of the transport tank. On the other hand, the second elastic member 6 and the first elastic member 1 together form a multi-dimensional buffering system, which can resist external force impact from more angles and directions, thereby more comprehensively protecting the transport tank from damage.

[0041] For example, in order to better manage and guide the expansion and contraction activity of the first damping spring 101, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the first elastic member 1 further includes a slider 103, which penetrates the first guide rod 102, and there are two sliders 103. One of the sliders 103 is tightly fitted with the base 4, and the other slider 103 is tightly fitted with the fixing base 2, so as to ensure that the second damping spring 601 always maintains linear motion during compression or extension, and effectively transmits force to the base 4 and the fixing base 2.

[0042] Through this structure, the slider 103 fits with the base 4 and the fixing base 2, reducing the chance of direct contact between the first damping spring 101 and the base 4 and the fixing base 2 surface, thereby reducing the loss of the damping spring due to friction and extending the service life of the damping spring.

[0043] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the first elastic member 1 further includes a first limit block 104 and a limit plate 105. The first limit block 104 is connected to the first guide rod 102 by welding, screwing or integral molding, and the first limit block 104 can slide up and down in the guide groove 5. That is, when the first damping spring 101 is deformed, the first limit block 104 will move linearly along the guide groove 5 together with the first guide rod 102.

[0044] The limit plate 105 is arranged at the notch position of the guide slot 5, and the function of the limit plate 105 is to limit the upward sliding position of the first limit block 104. When the first limit block 104 slides upward to the limit plate 105, it will be blocked by the limit plate 105 and will not continue to rise, thereby limiting the maximum extension of the first damping spring 101 and reducing the risk of the first guide rod 102 sliding out of the guide slot 5.

[0045] This structure can, on the one hand, effectively prevent the first damping spring 101 from overstretching, thereby reducing the risk of the first guide rod 102 slipping out of the guide groove 5. On the other hand, the vibration of the transport tank truck under extreme road conditions can be properly controlled, reducing the risk of the transport tank being in an unstable state due to excessive movement of the first damping spring 101, thereby further improving the safety and stability during transportation.

[0046] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the placement bracket further includes a fixing plate 7, which is tightly connected to the upper end surface of the base 4 by welding, screwing or integral molding. The end of the second elastic member 6 away from the fixing seat 2 is no longer directly connected to the base 4, but is connected to the fixing plate 7.

[0047] Through this structure, the fixing plate 7 is used to increase the resistance of the upper end of the base 4 to the elastic force, enhance the overall rigidity of the bracket, ensure that the bracket can still maintain sufficient stability when subjected to a large impact, and protect the natural gas transport tank from damage.

[0048] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the second elastic member 6 includes a second damping spring 601 and a second guide rod 602. The second guide rod 602 is disposed on the fixing plate 7 and can slide on the fixing plate 7, and the second guide rod 602 is connected to the fixing seat 2. The second damping spring 601 is sleeved on the second guide rod 602, and the two ends of the second damping spring 601 are respectively in close contact with the fixing seat 2 and the fixing plate 7.

[0049] During implementation, when the transport tank truck is subjected to lateral impact or vibration during driving, the second damping spring 601 will be compressed or stretched under the constraint of the second guide rod 602 to absorb and release energy, thereby playing a role of buffering and shock absorption.

[0050] Through this structure, on the one hand, the second elastic member 6 composed of the second damping spring 601 and the second guide rod 602 provides additional lateral or tilting buffering, further improving the stability of the transport tank truck during driving, especially on rough roads or sharp turns, and can effectively reduce the lateral shaking and tilting of the transport tank. On the other hand, through the cooperation of the fixing plate 7 and the second guide rod 602, it can be ensured that the second elastic member 6 can provide just the right buffering force to prevent safety hazards caused by excessive or insufficient buffering.

[0051] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the second elastic member 6 further includes a second limit block 603. The second limit block 603 is directly connected to one end of the second guide rod 602 away from the fixing seat 2, and is located on the side of the fixing plate 7 away from the fixing seat 2. That is, when the second guide rod 602 is extending, the second limit block 603 will limit the extension stroke of the second damping spring 601 and the second guide rod 602 with the assistance of the fixing plate 7.

[0052] Through this structure, on the one hand, the second limit block 603 is used as a stopper for the buffer stroke to prevent the second damping spring 601 from being overstretched after being stressed, thereby protecting the second damping spring 601 from exceeding its elastic limit and reducing the risk of failure or permanent deformation of the second damping spring 601. On the other hand, through the setting of the limit block, it can be ensured that the second elastic member 6 works within the specified safety range, preventing damage to the support structure due to excessive buffering, or excessive impact on the transport tank due to insufficient buffering, thereby improving the safety and stability of the entire transport tank truck system.

[0053] For example, in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the fixing member 3 includes a fixing ring 301 and a fixing rod 302. The fixing ring 301 is connected to the upper end surface of the fixing seat 2 by welding, screwing or integral molding, and becomes the core component for fixing the transport tank. The fixing rod 302 is screwed into the fixing ring 301 by threaded connection, and is evenly arranged around the fixing ring 301 to form a star-shaped or ring-shaped layout structure. When the transport tank needs to be fixed, one end of each fixing rod 302 close to the inner wall of the fixing ring 301 will contact the outer wall of the transport tank and apply pressure. By rotating the fixing rod 302 to make it deeply abut, the transport tank is finally tightly fixed on the placement bracket.

[0054] This structure, on the one hand, makes it easy for the staff to make fine adjustments according to the actual size and shape of the transport tank. By rotating the fixing rod 302, it can adapt to transport tanks of different diameters, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment. On the other hand, the surrounding fixing rod 302 can exert balanced pressure on the transport tank in multiple directions, ensuring that the transport tank is firmly fixed on the bracket, and can effectively prevent the transport tank from shaking or falling off even under harsh road conditions, greatly improving the safety during transportation. On the other hand, the threaded fixing rod 302 is easy to install and disassemble quickly, saving operating time and labor costs. At the same time, the fixing force can be adjusted as needed to ensure that it is firmly fixed without causing damage to the transport tank.

[0055] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the specific implementation method of the utility model and is not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
