It should be understood that the present utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of the present utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present utility model.

[0048] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that in the embodiments shown in the drawings, the indication of the direction or positional relationship (such as up, down, left, right, front and back, etc.) is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. When these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings, these descriptions are appropriate. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, then the indication of these directions also changes accordingly.

[0049] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0050] The present application provides a mounting bracket for realizing the mounting of the gas cylinder 100.

[0051] Among them, the gas cylinder 100 can be used to store substances such as LNG, hydrogen, etc.

[0052] The gas cylinder 100 includes a cylinder body 110 and a nozzle located at the axial end of the cylinder body 110. In the present application, nozzles are provided at both axial ends of the cylinder body 110, and the cylinder body 110 and the nozzles are coaxially arranged. Among them, the two nozzles are respectively a first nozzle 120 and a second nozzle 130, and it is defined that one end of the cylinder body 110 close to the first nozzle 120 along the axis is the first end, and one end of the cylinder body 110 close to the second nozzle 130 along the axis is the second end.

[0053] The following will combine the drawings to elaborate in detail on the specific embodiments of the mounting bracket of the present application.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the mounting bracket in this embodiment.

[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , the mounting bracket includes a frame 1, a lower mounting seat 2, an upper mounting seat 3 and an anti-rotation member 4. An accommodation space is formed inside the frame 1 for accommodating the gas cylinder 100 whose axis extends vertically. The lower mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1. The upper mounting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. A through hole 31 is provided on the upper mounting seat 3 for the nozzle to pass through. The upper mounting seat 3 and the lower mounting seat 2 cooperate to abut and limit the axial two ends of the cylinder body 110. The anti-rotation member 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper mounting seat 3, and the anti-rotation member 4 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the through hole 31 for abutting against the nozzle to limit the gas cylinder 100 from rotating along its own axis.

[0056] When installing the gas cylinder 100 using the above mounting bracket, the upper mounting seat 3 and the lower mounting seat 2 arranged at intervals up and down cooperate to abut and fix the axial ends of the body 110 of the gas cylinder 100, so as to realize the vertical installation of the gas cylinder 100 (that is, install the gas cylinder 100 in the frame 1 with its axis extending vertically), so that there is no need to add a supporting beam in the accommodating space of the mounting bracket to limit the installation space of each gas cylinder 100. This makes it easier to realize the staggered arrangement of the gas cylinders 100, reduce the gap between adjacent gas cylinders 100, and then improve the space utilization rate of the mounting bracket, so that more gas cylinders 100 can be accommodated and installed in the same limited space, so as to expand the effective volume of the carried gas cylinders 100 and store more substances.

[0057] Moreover, the gas cylinder 100 is installed and fixed in the frame 1 through the upper mounting seat 3 and the lower mounting seat 2, and the installation operation is convenient and simple.

[0058] In addition, the nozzle is abutted by the anti-rotation member 4 to limit the rotation of the gas cylinder 100 along its own axis, which can improve the stability of the installation of the gas cylinder 100 and the safety of the gas cylinder 100 during transportation.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the frame 1 is in the shape of a cuboid. In other embodiments, the frame 1 can also be in the shape of a cube.

[0060] For the convenience of description, it is now stipulated that the length direction of the frame 1 is the longitudinal direction and the width direction is the transverse direction.

[0061] The frame 1 includes a top frame 11, a bottom frame 12, and a plurality of columns 13 connected at intervals in the circumferential direction between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12.

[0062] The top frame 11 includes two top longitudinal beams 111 and a plurality of top cross beams 112. The two top longitudinal beams 111 are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, and the top longitudinal beams 111 extend in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of top cross beams 112 are connected at intervals in the longitudinal direction between the two top longitudinal beams 111, and the top cross beams 112 extend in the transverse direction.

[0063] The bottom frame 12 includes two bottom longitudinal beams 121 and a plurality of bottom cross beams 122. The two bottom longitudinal beams 121 are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, and the bottom longitudinal beams 121 extend in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of bottom cross beams 122 are connected at intervals in the longitudinal direction between the two bottom longitudinal beams 121, and the bottom cross beams 122 extend in the transverse direction.

[0064] The frame 1 may further include a plurality of strengthening beams 14. A strengthening beam 14 is connected between two adjacent columns 13. The strengthening beam 14 is arranged obliquely, and the strengthening beam 14 is also fixedly connected to the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 for strengthening the stability of the entire frame 1.

[0065] The lower mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0066] Figure 2 is Figure 1 the enlarged structural schematic diagram of position A in Figure 3 is Figure 1 the exploded structural schematic diagram of position A in

[0067] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the lower mounting seat 2 is located in the accommodation space of the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the tops of two adjacent bottom cross beams 122.

[0068] The lower mounting seat 2 is provided with a through hole 21 for the first nozzle 120 of the gas cylinder 100 to pass through. Since the lower mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the tops of two adjacent bottom cross beams 122, the first nozzle 120 of the gas cylinder 100 can pass through the through hole 21 and extend between the two adjacent bottom cross beams 122. Moreover, the bottom of the bottom cross beam 122 extends downward beyond the end of the first nozzle 120 of the gas cylinder 100, so that the bottom cross beam 122 can protect the first nozzle 120.

[0069] The lower mounting seat 2 is formed with a receiving groove 22 opening upward for receiving and limiting the axial first end of the bottle body 110. Specifically, the circumferential side wall of the receiving groove 22 is adapted to the first end of the bottle body 110 and can be in close contact with the first end of the bottle body 110 to limit the gas cylinder 100.

[0070] In this embodiment, the lower mounting seat 2 can be completed by casting, which can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting frame further includes a lower buffer member disposed on the top of the lower mounting seat 2 for being in close contact with the axial first end of the bottle body 110 to buffer and protect the bottle body 110.

[0072] The lower buffer member is made of anti-slip and elastic material, so that when it contacts the bottle body 110, the friction with the bottle body 110 can be increased to prevent the bottle body 110 from sliding relative to the lower mounting seat 2, thereby increasing the stability of the gas cylinder 100. Moreover, the lower buffer member can absorb the impact force through elastic deformation to buffer and protect the gas cylinder 100. Exemplarily, the lower buffer member can be made of rubber, sponge, foam, etc.

[0073] In this embodiment, the mounting frame may further include a lower mounting plate 5. The lower mounting plate 5 is provided corresponding to the lower mounting seat 2, and the lower mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 through the lower mounting plate 5. Among them, the area of the lower mounting plate 5 is larger than the area of the bottom of the lower mounting seat 2, so that the contact area with the bottom frame 12 can be increased, the connection area with the bottom frame 12 can be increased, and further the stability of supporting the gas cylinder 100 can be improved.

[0074] Specifically, the lower mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom frame 12 of the frame 1, and the lower mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower mounting plate 5. Exemplarily, the lower mounting plate 5 is welded to the bottom frame 12, and the lower mounting seat 2 is welded to the lower mounting plate 5. In other embodiments, the lower mounting plate 5 and the bottom frame 12 can also be fixedly connected by fasteners, and the lower mounting seat 2 and the lower mounting plate 5 can also be fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0075] The lower mounting plate 5 is provided with a first hole 51, and the first hole 51 communicates with the through hole 21 for the first nozzle 120 to pass through.

[0076] In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes a plurality of lower mounting seats 2, and the plurality of lower mounting seats 2 are arranged in an array on the bottom frame 12. The mounting frame includes a plurality of lower mounting plates 5, and the plurality of lower mounting plates 5 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of lower mounting seats 2 to facilitate individual maintenance and replacement of each lower mounting seat 2 and each lower mounting plate 5.

[0077] In other embodiments, the lower mounting plate 5 can be omitted in the mounting frame, and the lower mounting seat 2 can be directly fixedly connected or fixedly connected to the two adjacent bottom cross beams 122.

[0078] In this embodiment, the upper mounting seat 3 is correspondingly located above the lower mounting seat 2. The upper mounting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and the upper mounting seat 3 and the lower mounting seat 2 cooperate to abut and limit the axial two ends of the bottle body 110.

[0079] Figure 4 For Figure 1 the enlarged structural schematic diagram at position B in Figure 5 For Figure 1 the exploded structural schematic diagram at position B in

[0080] The upper mounting seat 3 is provided with a through hole 31 for the nozzle (the second nozzle 130) of the gas cylinder 100 to pass through.

[0081] An accommodation groove 32 with a downward opening is formed on the upper mounting seat 3, and the accommodation groove 32 is used to accommodate and limit the axial end (the second end) of the bottle body 110. Specifically, the circumferential side wall of the accommodation groove 32 is adapted to the second end of the bottle body 110, and can fit and abut against the second end of the bottle body 110 to realize the limitation of the gas cylinder 100.

[0082] That is to say, the first nozzle 120 of the gas cylinder 100 passes through the through hole 21 on the lower mounting seat 2, and the first end of the bottle body 110 is placed in the receiving groove 22. The second nozzle 130 of the gas cylinder 100 will pass through the through hole 31 of the upper mounting seat 3, and the second end of the bottle body 110 is placed in the accommodation groove 32, and cooperate with the lower mounting seat 2 to jointly limit the axial two ends of the gas cylinder 100 to realize the installation and fixation of the gas cylinder 100.

[0083] In this embodiment, the upper mounting seat 3 can be completed by casting, which can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0084] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes an upper mounting plate 6. The upper mounting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 through the upper mounting plate 6. Among them, the area of the upper mounting plate 6 is larger than the area of the top of the upper mounting seat 3.

[0085] In this embodiment, the upper mounting seat 3 is located between two adjacent top cross beams 112, and the top of the upper mounting seat 3 extends upward beyond the top of the top cross beam 112. The upper mounting plate 6 is spaced above the top cross beam 112 and is fixedly connected to the two adjacent top cross beams 112. Since in the actual manufacture of the gas cylinder 100, there are differences in the length of each gas cylinder 100 itself. While pressing the gas cylinder 100 through the upper mounting plate 6 and the upper mounting seat 3, the upper mounting plate 6 is spaced above the top cross beam 112, which can ensure that the upper mounting plate 6, the upper mounting seat 3, and the lower mounting seat 2 cooperate to lock the gas cylinder 100, facilitating the staff to observe and operate.

[0086] The upper mounting plate 6 is detachably connected to the two adjacent top cross beams 112, so as to facilitate the connection of the upper mounting plate 6 to the top cross beam 112, quickly realize the installation and fixation of the gas cylinder 100, or disassemble it from the top cross beam 112, and detach the upper mounting seat 3 from the gas cylinder 100, so as to facilitate the removal of the gas cylinder 100 from the mounting bracket, and the operation is convenient and simple. Exemplarily, the upper mounting plate 6 is screwed to the two adjacent top cross beams 112 through fasteners.

[0087] The upper mounting plate 6 is detachably connected to the upper mounting seat 3, so as to facilitate the disassembly and connection between the upper mounting plate 6 and the upper mounting seat 3, and the operation is convenient and simple. Exemplarily, the upper mounting plate 6 is screwed to the upper mounting seat 3 through fasteners.

[0088] The upper mounting plate 6 is provided with a second hole 61. When the upper mounting seat 3 is connected to the upper mounting plate 6, the second hole 61 communicates with the through hole 31 for the second nozzle 130 to pass through.

[0089] Specifically, the upper mounting plate 6 includes a mounting portion 62. The mounting portion 62 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper mounting seat 3, and the mounting portion 62 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The second hole 61 is located on the mounting portion 62.

[0090] The upper mounting plate 6 further includes reinforcing portions 63 arranged at opposite ends of the mounting portion 62. The reinforcing portions 63 protrude upward from the mounting portion 62. That is to say, the upper mounting plate 6 in this embodiment adopts a structure with a U-shaped cross section, which can increase the stiffness and strength of the top plate, prevent it from deforming due to stress, and further ensure the stability of the connected and fixed gas cylinder 100.

[0091] In this embodiment, the mounting frame includes a plurality of upper mounting seats 3 and a plurality of upper mounting plates 6. The plurality of upper mounting plates 6 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of upper mounting seats 3, so as to facilitate the separate disassembly of a certain upper mounting seat 3 and the upper mounting plate 6 from the frame 1 and the gas cylinder 100, so as to facilitate the separate maintenance and replacement of each upper mounting seat 3 and each upper mounting plate 6, or the separate replacement and maintenance of a certain gas cylinder 100, etc. In addition, this design also makes the volume and weight of each upper mounting plate 6 relatively small, which facilitates the movement, installation, disassembly, etc. of the upper mounting plate 6.

[0092] In other embodiments, the upper mounting plate 6 of the mounting frame can also be omitted, and the upper mounting seat 3 can be directly connected and fixed to the top frame 11.

[0093] In this embodiment, the mounting frame further includes an upper buffer member. The upper buffer member is provided at the bottom of the upper mounting seat 3 and is used to fit against the axial end of the bottle body 110 to buffer and protect the bottle body 110.

[0094] The upper buffer member is made of anti-slip and elastic material, and can increase the friction force with the bottle body 110 when contacting the bottle body 110, prevent the bottle body 110 from sliding relative to the upper mounting seat 3, so as to increase the stability of the gas cylinder 100. And, the upper buffer member can absorb the impact force through elastic deformation to achieve the buffer protection effect on the gas cylinder 100. Exemplarily, the upper buffer member can be made of materials such as rubber, sponge, foam, etc.

[0095] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the anti-rotation member 4 is connected and fixed to the top of the upper mounting seat 3. The anti-rotation member 4 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the through hole 31 and is used to abut against the bottle mouth (the second bottle mouth 130) to limit the rotation of the gas cylinder 100 along its own axis, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the gas cylinder 100 and the safety of the gas cylinder 100 during transportation.

[0096] The anti-rotation member 4 includes a connecting portion 41 and an anti-rotation portion 42.

[0097] The connecting portion 41 is connected and fixed to the upper mounting seat 3 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the through hole 31. Specifically, the connecting portion 41 is connected and fixed to the top of the mounting portion 62 of the upper mounting plate 6.

[0098] The anti-rotation portion 42 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 41 close to the through hole 31 and protrudes upward from the connecting portion 41. At this time, the bottle mouth (the second bottle mouth 130) is provided with an adapting portion 131 adapted to the anti-rotation portion 42, and the anti-rotation portion 42 is engaged or abutted against the adapting portion 131.

[0099] In this embodiment, the anti-rotation part 42 abuts against the adaptation part 131 to limit the gas cylinder 100. The anti-rotation part 42 and the rest of the outer periphery of the nozzle are not on the same circumferential surface to ensure the anti-rotation function of the anti-rotation part 42 and maintain a relatively static state between the anti-rotation part 42 and the adaptation part 131.

[0100] Specifically, the adaptation part 131 is a vertical surface extending in the vertical direction. The end surface of the anti-rotation part 42 away from the connection part 41 extends in the vertical direction so that the anti-rotation part 42 can fit and abut against the adaptation part 131.

[0101] In other embodiments, the anti-rotation part 42 can also be clamped with the adaptation part 131 to limit the gas cylinder 100, and the anti-rotation part 42 and the rest of the outer periphery of the nozzle are not on the same circumferential surface. Exemplarily, a clamping groove is provided on the anti-rotation part 42 for clamping and cooperating with the adaptation part 131. Or, the adaptation part 131 is a clamping groove, and the anti-rotation part 42 can extend into the adaptation part 131 to be clamped with the adaptation part 131.

[0102] Reference Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the mounting frame further includes a plurality of support beams 7. The plurality of support beams 7 are connected to the bottom of the frame 1 at intervals in the longitudinal direction, serving as the support points of the entire mounting frame and used for connecting with the support surface.

[0103] The mounting frame may further include a skin structure. The skin structure covers the outer periphery of the frame 1 and is used to protect the gas cylinder 100 located inside the frame 1.

[0104] The mounting frame further includes two support frames 8. The two support frames 8 are arranged at opposite ends of the top of the frame 1. When the gas cylinder 100 is installed on the frame 1, the support frame 8 extends upward beyond the second nozzle 130 of the gas cylinder 100 and is used to support the skin structure to avoid the second nozzle 130 of the gas cylinder 100 and ensure the safety of the gas cylinder 100.

[0105] This application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle frame, a plurality of gas cylinders 100 and a mounting frame. Among them, the mounting frame accommodating and installing a plurality of gas cylinders 100 is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame, so as to realize the transportation of the gas cylinders 100.

[0106] Exemplarily list a process of installing the gas cylinder 100 using the above mounting frame:

[0107] First, fix and connect a plurality of lower mounting plates 5 to the top of the bottom frame 12 of the frame 1 one by one, and then fixedly install the lower mounting seats 2 on the lower mounting plates 5 one by one. After setting lower buffer members in the receiving grooves 22 of the lower mounting seats 2, lift and install the gas cylinder 100 into one of the lower mounting seats 2 through a lifting tool, and adjust the axial direction of the gas cylinder 100 so that its axial direction extends in the vertical direction until all the lower mounting seats 2 are provided with a gas cylinder 100 to complete the installation and fixation of the first end of the gas cylinder 100.

[0108] After the installation and fixation of the first ends of the cylinders 100 are completed, first connect and fix each upper mounting seat 3 to an upper mounting plate 6 one by one through fasteners, and arrange upper buffer members in the accommodation grooves 32 of the upper mounting seats 3. Then, connect and fix an anti-rotation member 4 to the top of each upper mounting plate 6, and make the anti-rotation portion 42 of the anti-rotation member 4 face the direction of the through hole 31. Then, sleeved the whole formed by connecting the upper mounting seat 3, the upper mounting plate 6 and the anti-rotation member 4 on the second ends of the respective cylinders 100, so that the upper buffer members are in close contact with the corresponding second ends of the cylinders 100. Finally, connect and fix the opposite ends of the upper mounting plate 6 to two adjacent top cross beams 112 through fasteners. During this process, when the fasteners are fully locked with the top cross beam 112, a gap will be left between the upper mounting plate 6 and the top cross beam 112 in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate the staff to observe and confirm whether the cylinder 100 is in the locked state. Repeat the above operations until all the upper mounting plates 6 are locked with the top cross beams 112.

[0109] Exemplarily, a disassembly and assembly process of a cylinder 100 is listed:

[0110] First, disassemble the fasteners used to connect and fix the upper mounting plate 6 and the top cross beam 112 one by one, and remove the upper mounting plate 6 and the upper mounting seat 3 from the cylinder 100 at the same time, and then lift the cylinders 100 out of the frame 1 one by one through a lifting tool. During the operation of removing the cylinders 100, the lower mounting seats 2 and the lower mounting plates 5 can not be disassembled, so as to facilitate repeated use. Of course, when the lower mounting seat 2 or the lower mounting plate 5 is damaged, the damaged lower mounting seat 2 or the lower mounting plate 5 can be replaced separately.

[0111] When a certain cylinder 100 or some of the cylinders 100 are damaged, the upper mounting plate 6 used to fix the damaged cylinder 100 can also be disassembled from the top frame 11 alone, and the corresponding upper mounting plate 6 and the upper mounting seat 3 can be removed from the damaged cylinder 100, lift the cylinder 100 out of the frame 1 through a lifting tool, and then the new or repaired cylinder 100 can be installed in the frame 1 with reference to the above method.

[0112] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0113] When installing a gas cylinder using the above mounting rack, the upper mounting seat and the lower mounting seat arranged at intervals up and down cooperate to abut and fix the axial ends of the gas cylinder body, so as to realize the vertical installation of the gas cylinder (that is, install the gas cylinder in the frame with its axis extending vertically), so that there is no need to add a supporting beam in the accommodating space of the mounting rack to limit the installation space of each gas cylinder, which is more convenient to realize the staggered arrangement of the gas cylinders, reduce the gap between adjacent gas cylinders, and then improve the space utilization rate of the mounting rack, so that in the same limited space, more gas cylinders can be accommodated and installed to expand the effective volume of the carried gas cylinders and store more substances.

[0114] Moreover, the gas cylinder is installed and fixed in the frame through the upper mounting seat and the lower mounting seat, and the installation operation is convenient and simple.

[0115] In addition, the nozzle is abutted by an anti-rotation member to limit the rotation of the gas cylinder along its own axis, which can improve the stability of the gas cylinder installation and the safety of the gas cylinder during transportation.

Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be broadly construed within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
