Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank fixing technology, specifically a gas storage tank fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial sector, products that exist in a gaseous state at normal temperature and pressure are collectively classified as industrial gases. Industrial gases are extremely diverse, but can be broadly categorized into two main types: general industrial gases and specialty gases. In actual factory production and operation, industrial gases are typically stored using storage tanks. When using these storage tanks containing industrial gases, proper securing and maintenance are essential.

[0003] Current gas storage tank securing devices have several shortcomings: most are custom-designed based on the specific dimensions of the storage tanks, meaning they are only compatible with tanks of that size. They fail to effectively secure tanks of different sizes, demonstrating a significant deficiency in versatility. Furthermore, the limiting components used to secure the tanks often require repeated manual operation. This repetitive manual operation is not only inefficient for securing the tanks but also extremely inconvenient for retrieving them, consuming considerable manpower and time. This negatively impacts factory production efficiency and the ease of use of industrial gases. Therefore, to improve this situation and enhance the versatility and ease of operation of gas storage tank securing devices, it is urgent to carefully plan and design corresponding technical solutions to effectively address these existing technical challenges. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas storage tank fixing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A gas storage tank fixing device includes a support mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism includes a base plate, multiple support plates fixedly installed on the base plate, and a bearing plate installed on one side of the support plates. The bearing plate is movably installed on the base plate via an elastic unit. The limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate, a fixing ring, a flipping plate, a first pulling rope, and a second pulling rope. Multiple horizontal plates are arranged side by side from top to bottom and installed on the support plate. A fixing ring is fixedly installed on the side of the horizontal plate. Grooves are symmetrically formed on both sides of the bottom diameter of the fixing ring. One end of the bearing plate is rotatably installed in the groove via a rotating shaft. An inclined connecting plate is fixedly installed at this end. A return torsion spring is also installed between the side of the bearing plate and the groove. A clamping block is fixedly installed at the other end of the bearing plate. Adjacent connecting plates are connected by the first pulling rope. The two lowest connecting plates are connected to the bearing plate by the second pulling rope.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic unit includes multiple sleeves fixedly installed on the base plate, a telescopic rod movably inserted into the sleeves, and a spring sleeved on the telescopic rod, the top end of the telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple horizontal plates are movably mounted on a support plate, and screws are symmetrically threaded on the horizontal plates. Nuts that are compatible with the screws are installed on the screws. The screws pass through the support plate, and nuts are installed at their ends. The support plate has a strip-shaped hole for the screws to slide.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connecting plate is provided with through holes for the first and second pulling ropes to pass through, and a fixing bracket is fixedly provided on the connecting plate at the position corresponding to the through hole, and a fixing bolt is threaded on the fixing bracket.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This invention, through the arrangement of a horizontal plate, fixing rings, a flipping plate, a first traction rope, and a second traction rope, allows the storage tank to move downwards under the weight of the storage tank after passing through multiple fixing rings and being placed on a support plate. During this movement, the second traction rope, acting as a connector and transmission, causes the two lowest connecting plates to flip around a pivot. As the connecting plates flip, the two flipping plates on the fixing rings simultaneously rotate towards the storage tank. Simultaneously, clamping blocks at the ends of the flipping plates ensure close contact with the storage tank once the plates are in position, effectively clamping and securing the storage tank within the fixing rings. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of multiple fixing rings and the connection and assistance of multiple first traction ropes effectively enhance the overall fixation of the storage tank, making it more stable and reliable in its fixed state. Compared to existing storage tank fixing devices, this novel device exhibits numerous significant advantages.

[0012] It is no longer limited to storage tanks of a specific diameter, but can flexibly adapt to the fixing needs of storage tanks of different diameters, greatly improving the versatility of the device. It can be widely used in fixing scenarios of storage tanks of various specifications. Moreover, the entire limiting clamping process is automatically triggered and completed by the weight of the storage tank itself, without the need for tedious and repetitive manual operations. This feature not only significantly improves the fixing efficiency of the storage tank, but also makes it easy to release the fixing when the storage tank needs to be removed by simply removing the weight of the storage tank (e.g., lifting the support plate). This makes the removal of the storage tank extremely convenient, greatly reducing manpower input and operation time, and bringing great convenience and efficiency to the fixing and use of industrial gas storage tanks.

[0018] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4A gas storage tank fixing device includes a support mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The support mechanism includes a base plate 1, multiple support plates 2 fixedly installed on the base plate 1, and a bearing plate 3 installed on one side of the support plate 2. The bearing plate 3 is movably installed on the base plate 1 via an elastic unit. The limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate 4, a fixing ring 5, a flipping plate 9, a first pulling rope 11, and a second pulling rope 12. Multiple horizontal plates 4 are arranged side by side from top to bottom and installed on the support plate 2. A fixing ring 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the horizontal plate 4. Grooves 6 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the bottom diameter of the fixing ring 5. One end of the bearing plate 3 is rotatably installed in the groove 6 via a rotating shaft 7, and this end is fixedly positioned. The connecting plate 10 is inclined, and a return torsion spring 8 is installed between the side of the bearing plate 3 and the groove 6. A clamping block 13 is fixedly installed at the other end of the bearing plate 3. Adjacent connecting plates 10 are connected by a first pull rope 11, and the two lowest connecting plates 10 are connected to the bearing plate 3 by a second pull rope 12. By setting up a horizontal plate 4, fixing rings 5, a flipping plate 9, a first pull rope 11, and a second pull rope 12, after the storage tank passes through multiple fixing rings 5 ​​and is placed on the bearing plate 3, the bearing plate 3 will begin to move downward under the gravity applied by the storage tank. During this movement, thanks to the connecting and transmission function of the second pull rope 12, the two lowest connecting plates 10 can be driven to rotate around. The shaft 7 rotates, and as the connecting plate 10 rotates, it further drives the two rotating plates 9 on the fixing ring 5 to rotate synchronously towards the storage tank. Simultaneously, because the ends of the rotating plates 9 are equipped with clamping blocks 13, when the rotating plates 9 are rotated into position, the clamping blocks 13 can make tight contact with the storage tank, thus successfully achieving the clamping and fixing function of the storage tank located within the fixing ring 5. Furthermore, through the coordinated cooperation between multiple fixing rings 5 ​​and the connection and assistance of multiple first pulling ropes 11, the overall fixing effect of the storage tank can be effectively enhanced, making it more stable and reliable in the fixed state. Compared with existing storage tank fixing devices, this new device exhibits many significant advantages: it is no longer limited to… Instead of being limited to storage tanks of a specific diameter, it can flexibly adapt to the fixing needs of storage tanks of different diameters, greatly improving the versatility of the device. It can be widely used in fixing scenarios of storage tanks of various specifications. Moreover, the entire limiting clamping process is automatically triggered and completed by the weight of the storage tank itself, without the need for tedious and repetitive manual operations. This feature not only significantly improves the fixing efficiency of the storage tank, but also makes it easy to release the fixing when the storage tank needs to be removed by simply removing the weight of the storage tank, for example (lifting the support plate 3). This makes the removal of the storage tank extremely convenient, greatly reducing manpower input and operation time, and bringing great convenience and efficiency to the fixing and use of industrial gas storage tanks.

[0021] The elastic unit includes multiple sleeves 14 fixedly installed on the base plate 1, a telescopic rod 15 movably inserted into the sleeves 14, and a spring 16 sleeved on the telescopic rod 15. The top end of the telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 3.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, specifically as follows:

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple horizontal plates 4 are movably mounted on the support plate 2. Screws 17 are symmetrically threaded on the horizontal plates 4. Nuts 19 that are adapted to the screws 17 are installed on the screws 17. The screws 17 pass through the support plate 2, and nuts 18 are installed at their ends. The support plate 2 has a strip hole 20 for the screws 17 to slide. With this arrangement, the height of multiple fixing rings 5 ​​can be adjusted according to the height of the storage tank, so that the device can be adapted to storage tanks of different heights, further improving the versatility of the device.

[0025] Correspondingly, the connecting plate 10 has through holes 21 for the first pulling rope 11 and the second pulling rope 12 to pass through. A fixing bracket 22 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 10 at the position corresponding to the through hole 21. A fixing bolt 23 is threaded on the fixing bracket 22. When the height of the fixing ring 5 changes, the relevant connecting parts need to be adjusted to maintain stable transmission. The specific operation is as follows: pull the first pulling rope 11 and the second pulling rope 12 outwards towards the through hole 21 until the first pulling rope 11 and the second pulling rope 12 are both taut. After that, the first pulling rope 11 and the second pulling rope 12 are firmly fixed by tightening the fixing bolt 23. Through this operation, it can be ensured that the bearing plate 3 and the connecting plate 10, as well as the connecting plates 10 connected to each other, can always maintain a stable and reliable transmission relationship, thereby ensuring that the entire limiting mechanism can operate normally under different fixing ring 5 heights, and stably realize the fixation of the storage tank and the effective transmission of related mechanical actions.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
