[0002] In the prior art, as a transportation and storage device for dangerous goods, the safety requirements for gas cylinders are very high. However, traditional gas cylinders often face many problems during transportation. First of all, due to the fact that gas cylinders are easily affected by external forces such as road vibration and impact during transportation, the gas cylinder body may shake or even displace, which will not only increase the risk of damage to the cylinder body, but also may cause gas leakage, thus triggering potential safety hazards.

[0003] In addition, the fixing methods of traditional gas cylinders are relatively simple, usually relying on straps or limiting devices, but these measures are often difficult to ensure the stability of gas cylinders when facing large external forces. Especially during long-distance transportation or in complex road conditions, the gas cylinder may be subjected to excessive local stress or fixing looseness, resulting in a significant increase in the danger during transportation.

[0004] With the continuous improvement of the safety requirements for gas transportation, there is an urgent need for a gas cylinder design with better limiting and protection performance to cope with complex transportation conditions and reduce problems such as shaking and collision of gas cylinders during transportation, so as to ensure the stability and transportation safety of gas cylinders. In this context, the design of a gas cylinder with a transportation protection and limiting mechanism has emerged, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient protection of traditional gas cylinders during transportation.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-3, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a gas cylinder with a transportation protection and limiting mechanism, including a base 1 and a gas cylinder body 13. A groove 2 is provided on the surface of the base 1, a sliding groove 3 is provided inside the groove 2, a threaded groove 4 is provided inside the base 1, a screw rod 5 is threadedly connected inside the threaded groove 4, a plug 7 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw rod 5, a connecting block 8 is rotatably connected to the side of the base 1, a fixing block 9 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting block 8, an arc-shaped sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing block 9, a connecting piece 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the arc-shaped sleeve 10, a bolt 12 is fixedly connected inside the connecting piece 11. The number of arc-shaped sleeves 10 is four groups, and the four groups of arc-shaped sleeves 10 surround the surface of the gas cylinder body 13 and are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the gas cylinder body 13, which can wrap and fix the gas cylinder in all directions. In addition, the external impact force is evenly dispersed, preventing the gas cylinder from being subjected to excessive local pressure during transportation, reducing the risk of damage to the gas cylinder body 13. A ring-shaped block 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gas cylinder body 13, a slot 15 is provided on the surface of the ring-shaped block 14, the plug 7 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 3, a rotating head 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the screw rod 5 away from the plug 7, the positions of the plug 7 and the slot 15 correspond one by one, and the plug 7 realizes precise docking with the slot 15 through the sliding groove 3, ensuring that the gas cylinder can be stably fixed on the base 1 during transportation, providing a better protection effect, preventing the gas cylinder from shaking or falling off during transportation, thereby improving the safety of transportation. The ring-shaped block 14 is inserted inside the groove 2, and the outer side of the ring-shaped block 14 is fitted with the inner wall of the groove 2, further improving the stability of the gas cylinder in the base 1, preventing the gas cylinder from moving laterally during transportation, and effectively enhancing the safety protection effect during transportation. The number of plugs 7 is four groups, and the four groups of plugs 7 are symmetrically distributed inside the groove 2, and the plugs 7 are located between two adjacent arc-shaped sleeves 10, so that the gas cylinder is fixed at multiple points on the base 1, which not only enhances the stability of the gas cylinder on the base 1, but also reduces the shaking amplitude during transportation, provides a better limiting effect, and reduces the safety risk.

[0034] Embodiment Two

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 , a protective sleeve 16 is sleeved on the surface of the gas cylinder body 13, and tightening parts 17 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the protective sleeve 16. The tightening parts 17 on both the upper and lower sides of the protective sleeve 16 can be adjusted according to the size of the gas cylinder to ensure that the protective sleeve 16 fits tightly on the gas cylinder body 13. The tightening design can enhance the protection of the gas cylinder surface and avoid damage caused by the loosening of the protective sleeve 16 during transportation. A buffer pad 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective sleeve 16, and the buffer pad 18 is adhesively connected to the protective sleeve 16 by glue. The buffer pad 18 provides an additional anti-vibration protection layer, which can effectively absorb and disperse external impact forces, thereby reducing the vibration and impact received by the gas cylinder body 13 during transportation.

[0036] Working principle: The gas tank body 13 is firmly mechanically connected to the base 1 through the annular block 14 at the bottom. The annular block 14 is inserted into the groove 2 on the surface of the base 1 and fits tightly with the inner wall of the groove 2, ensuring that the lateral and longitudinal movements of the gas tank are effectively restricted, avoiding displacement during transportation, and being able to adapt to vibrations and impacts under different transportation conditions. There is a threaded groove 4 inside the base 1, and the screw rod 5 is connected to the base 1 through the threaded groove 4. The other end of the screw rod 5 is rotatably connected to the insertion block 7. The rotation of the screw rod 5 enables the insertion block 7 to slide in the chute 3 of the base 1 and then insert into the slot 15 at the bottom of the gas tank. The positions of the insertion block 7 and the slot 15 are precisely corresponding, ensuring that the gas tank can be firmly limited on the base 1 and maintaining a tight connection under different transportation conditions. This not only enhances the safety during transportation but also allows the tightening degree to be adjusted according to different transportation requirements, providing flexibility. Outside the gas tank, four groups of symmetrically distributed arc-shaped sleeves 10 are designed and surround the gas tank. The arc-shaped sleeves 10 are fixed to the base 1 through the connecting blocks 8 and the fixing blocks 9. They are not only used to support the gas tank body 13 but also can effectively absorb the external force impacts during transportation. Since the arc-shaped sleeves 10 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the gas tank, they can evenly disperse the externally applied pressure, avoiding deformation or damage to the gas tank body 13 caused by excessive local stress, and greatly reducing the risk of damage to the gas tank due to vibration or impact during transportation. A protective sleeve 16 is also sleeved on the surface of the gas tank body 13. Elastic parts 17 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the protective sleeve 16 to provide additional protection for the gas tank body 13. The elastic parts 17 enable the protective sleeve 16 to be adjusted according to the size of the gas tank, thus ensuring that the protective sleeve 16 fits tightly with the surface of the gas tank and effectively preventing the loosening or falling off of the protective sleeve 16 during transportation, improving the protection effect on the gas tank. In addition, a buffer pad 18 is installed on the inner wall of the protective sleeve 16 and is fixedly connected by glue. The presence of the buffer pad 18 provides a layer of anti-vibration protection for the gas tank, being able to effectively absorb and disperse the vibrations and impact forces generated during transportation and reducing the physical damage suffered by the gas tank body 13.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
