[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a gas cylinder bracket, which can solve the problem of torsional deformation of the frame in the related art, while also reducing the problem of the frame's anti-torsion ability.

[0031] With the continuous development of social economy, the automobile industry has also developed rapidly, forming a multi-variety, full-series production and supporting system for various types of complete vehicles and parts. Natural gas vehicles have won wide recognition in the market with low emissions and low gas prices. At present, natural gas vehicles are all equipped with CNG cylinders as a power source to drive the vehicle. The CNG cylinder is a high-pressure container for storing compressed natural gas. This high-pressure container filled with flammable and explosive gas is a pressure vessel with explosive dangers, and the CNG cylinder needs to be installed in the car through a supporting mechanism when in use;

[0032] However, when the current CNG cylinder body is installed and used, the cylinder bracket is connected to the frame width using the side mounting hole, and its bottom mounting hole is connected to the lower wing surface of the frame. This connection and installation method is likely to cause torsional deformation of the frame after long-term use, and also reduces the frame's ability to resist torsional deformation.

[0033] This is to address the problem of torsional deformation of the frame and reduce the frame's torsional resistance.

The support rod mounting bracket 8 and the bottom support rod 11 replace the traditional original gas cylinder bracket using the side mounting holes to connect with the frame width and the bottom mounting holes to connect with the lower wing surface of the frame, and cancel the connecting bracket connected to the lower wing surface of the frame, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of torsional deformation of the frame structure due to the weight of the gas cylinder body 3, and at the same time increasing the torsional resistance of the frame.

[0035] Among them, the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are connected and fixed, and are perpendicular to each other, and the first mounting plate is fixed to one side of the second mounting plate. The gas cylinder mounting frame 2 is an "L"-shaped structure, and is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the first mounting plate of the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder near the bottom end.

In this embodiment, two gas cylinder mounting frames 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder, that is, the first mounting plate. It should be noted that the number of gas cylinder mounting frames 2 is not unique, and in other embodiments, three, four or even more can be set as needed.

[0036] There is an opening at the top of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1. In order to prevent the gas cylinder body 3 from moving up, a gas cylinder top protective plate 9 is detachably connected to the top of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, so that the gas cylinder top protective plate 9 is detachably connected to the top of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, that is, the top of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate through screws; the gas cylinder top protective plate 9 can be opened when placing the gas cylinder body 3, and the gas cylinder top protective plate 9 is closed after the gas cylinder body 3 is placed. Furthermore, a flexible material, such as a sponge pad or a rubber pad, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gas cylinder top protective plate 9, which can protect the gas cylinder body 3.

[0037] Further, the support rod mounting bracket 8 is an "L"-shaped structure, and the support rod mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the gas cylinder mounting frame 2 by welding. Specifically, the support rod mounting bracket 8 includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, the first connecting plate is vertically fixed to the second connecting plate, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are both fixed to the gas cylinder mounting frame 2.

In addition, the support rod mounting bracket 8 can also be fixed to the gas cylinder mounting frame 2 by bolt connection, or the support rod mounting bracket 8 can also be connected to the gas cylinder mounting frame 2 by bolt connection in combination with welding process. There is no unique connection method between the support rod mounting bracket 8 and the gas cylinder mounting frame 2, and the specific method can be selected according to actual needs.

[0038] On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, end plates 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom support rod 11 , and the end plates 12 are connected to the support rod mounting bracket 8 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the cross section of the bottom support rod 11 is a rectangular tube, and the end plate 12 is connected to the support rod mounting bracket 8, which can increase the contact area between the bottom support rod 11 and the support rod mounting bracket 8. The end plate 12 and the support rod mounting bracket 8 are both provided with fixing holes 13, and fixing bolts 10 are provided in the fixing holes 13. Specifically, the fixing holes 13 are provided on the first connecting plate, and when the bottom support rod 11 is connected to the support rod mounting bracket 8, the fixing holes 13 on the end plate 12 are aligned with the fixing holes 13 on the first connecting plate, and then the fixing bolts 10 are used to penetrate the fixing holes 13, and the end plate 12 and the support rod mounting bracket 8 are fixed, so that the bottom support rod 11 is connected and fixed to the support rod mounting bracket 8.

[0040] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, a support seat 14 for placing the gas cylinder body 3 is arranged inside the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder.

[0041] The middle part of the support seat 14 is concave to form an arc groove. When the gas cylinder body 3 is placed on the support seat 14 , the gas cylinder body 3 is tightly connected to the inner side of the support seat 14 .

[0042] Furthermore, two limiting cylinders 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner side of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1 along the tilting direction, wherein a limiting space for the gas cylinder body is formed between one limiting cylinder 5 and the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, and a limiting space for the gas cylinder body is formed between the other limiting cylinder 5 and the gas cylinder mounting frame 2. Figure 1 As shown, the tilting direction here refers to the diagonal direction of the second mounting plate.

[0043] That is, one of the limiting cylinders 5 is connected to the gas cylinder mounting frame 2, and there is a set distance between the limiting cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the first mounting plate of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, forming a gas cylinder body limiting space; another limiting cylinder 5 is connected to the first mounting plate of the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, and there is a set distance between the limiting cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the gas cylinder mounting frame 2, forming a gas cylinder body limiting space. Therefore, in this embodiment, two gas cylinder bodies 3 can be arranged inside the gas cylinder outer protective plate 1, wherein a joint 4 is connected to one end of the gas cylinder body 3.

[0044] Furthermore, a central support column 6 is arranged between the two limiting cylinders 5, and the line connecting the center point of the central support column 6 and the center points of the two limiting cylinders 5 is an oblique line, and both ends of the central support column 6 are connected to the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder; after the gas cylinder body 3 is installed, the two gas cylinder bodies 3 and the two limiting cylinders 5 are staggered.

[0045] In this embodiment, since the limiting cylinder 5 is provided, in order to facilitate the placement of the gas cylinder body 3, a second mounting plate can be fixed on one side of the first mounting plate, and the second mounting plate is not provided on the other side. A side limiting frame 7 is provided on the side wall of the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder, and the ends of the two limiting cylinders 5 are connected to the inner side of the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder through the side limiting frame 7, so that the gas cylinder body 3 is limited by the second mounting plate, the side limiting frame 7, the central support column 6, the limiting cylinder 5 and the support seat 14. Further, the side limiting frame 7 is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate of the outer protective plate 1 of the gas cylinder. When the gas cylinder body 3 is placed, the side limiting frame 7 is rotated to avoid the side limiting frame 7 hindering the installation of the gas cylinder body 3; after the gas cylinder body 3 is placed, the side limiting frame 7 is rotated to make the side limiting frame 7 abut against the end of the gas cylinder body 3. A latch can be provided between the side limiting frame 7 and the first mounting plate to facilitate the locking and unlocking of the side limiting frame 7.

[0046] Among them, the central support column 6 and the limiting cylinder 5 are both made of rubber, and the surfaces of the limiting cylinder 5 and the central support column 6 are both contact surfaces of the gas cylinder body. Therefore, when the gas cylinder body 3 is installed, the arc groove provided on the edge of the support seat 14 facilitates the gas cylinder body 3 to be placed in a close fit, and the limiting cylinder 5, the central support column 6 and the side limiting frame 7 are arranged on the inner side of the gas cylinder installation frame 2, so as to realize the convenient close fitting and limited installation of the gas cylinder body 3, and facilitate the close support of the gas cylinder body 3 during installation. In addition, during the use of the gas cylinder body 3 after installation, when the gas cylinder bracket shakes, the limiting cylinder 5 and the central support column 6 made of rubber can closely and stably support the gas cylinder body 3, so as to realize the buffering of the shaking force received by the gas cylinder body 3, effectively protect the gas cylinder body 3, avoid the phenomenon of violent collision, and ensure the tightness and stability of the gas cylinder body 3 after installation and connection.
