Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas storage technology, and in particular to a sample storage device for natural gas exploration. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas refers to all gases that exist naturally in nature, including gases formed by various natural processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Its main use is as fuel. Natural gas exploration requires sampling and research, which necessitates the use of natural gas sample storage devices.

[0003] The utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN219838890U discloses a sample storage device for natural gas exploration, including a shock-absorbing base. A fixed box is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the shock-absorbing base. A partition is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box. A gas storage tank is movably connected through the top of the partition. A plug-in shell is fused to the top of the outer surface of the fixed box. A sealing plate is plugged into the inner cavity of the plug-in shell. A box cover is fused to the top of the sealing plate. A pressure sensor is bolted to the top of the inner cavity of the box cover. Plug-in plates are fused to both the front and rear sides of the box cover, and positioning grooves are formed on opposite sides of the left and right plug-in plates. This utility model, through the coordinated use of the positioning mechanism, plug-in plates, box cover, alarm, and pressure sensor, has the advantage of leak alarm, enabling timely detection of gas leaks in the storage tank and issuing an alarm, allowing personnel to operate with prior knowledge and improving safety.

[0004] This device, through the combined use of a positioning mechanism, plug-in plate, tank cover, alarm, and pressure sensor, has the advantage of leak alarm. It can detect gas leaks in the storage tank in a timely manner and issue an alarm, allowing personnel to operate with prior knowledge and improving safety.

[0005] Simply using shock absorption methods to protect natural gas storage tanks is often insufficient. This method lacks clamping capabilities, meaning that during transportation, the tanks may tilt if they encounter bumpy roads. This tilting can damage the tank, leading to natural gas leaks and ultimately unavoidable losses.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sample storage device for natural gas exploration that facilitates the reinforcement and protection of storage tanks to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sample storage device for natural gas exploration.

[0008] This utility model provides a sample storage device for natural gas exploration, including a transport box. The four corners of the bottom of the transport box are equipped with casters. A push rod is connected to one side of the transport box. Storage tanks are slidably inserted into both sides of the inner cavity of the transport box. A clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the top of the transport box for clamping and protecting the storage tanks. A support plate is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the transport box, and the top of the support plate is in contact with the storage tanks.

[0009] To achieve the effect of clamping and protecting the storage tank, this utility model provides a sample storage device for natural gas exploration. Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a rotating motor. The bottom of the rotating motor is connected to a transport box. The output shaft of the rotating motor passes through the inner cavity of the transport box and is connected to a first bevel gear rod. A second bevel gear rod is meshed with one side of the bottom of the first bevel gear rod. One side of the second bevel gear rod is connected to the transport box via a bearing. A bidirectional lead screw is connected to one side of the second bevel gear rod. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw are connected to threaded sleeves. One side of each of the two threaded sleeves is connected to a movable plate. Both sides of the movable plate are connected to fixed sleeves. One side of each fixed sleeve contacts and clamps the storage tank.

[0010] In order to achieve the effect of assisting the movement of the movable plate, this utility model provides a sample storage device for natural gas exploration. Preferably, a sliding sleeve is connected to one side of the movable plate, and a sliding rod is slidably fitted inside the sliding sleeve. Both sides of the sliding rod are connected to the transport box.

[0011] In order to achieve the effect of limiting the rotation of the rotating motor, as a sample storage device for natural gas exploration provided by this utility model, preferably, a limiting ring is slidably inserted into the bottom of the rotating motor, and the bottom of the limiting ring is connected to the transport box.

[0012] In order to achieve the effect of buffering and shock absorption of the support plate, as a sample storage device for natural gas exploration provided by this utility model, preferably, the bottom of the support plate is connected to multiple buffer springs, and the bottom of the buffer springs is connected to the bottom of the transport box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This sample storage device for natural gas exploration effectively protects the storage tank by incorporating a clamping mechanism. This addresses the shortcomings of current methods that rely solely on shock absorption, which are often insufficient for protecting natural gas storage tanks. These methods lack clamping functionality, meaning that during transportation, the natural gas storage tank may tilt due to rough terrain. Such tilting could damage the tank, leading to natural gas leaks and ultimately unavoidable losses. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a sample storage device for natural gas exploration provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the internal cavity; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the clamping mechanism. A sample storage device for natural gas exploration includes a transport box 1. Universal wheels 2 are bolted to the four corners of the bottom of the transport box 1. A push rod 3 is bolted to one side of the transport box 1. Storage tanks 4 are slidably inserted into both sides of the inner cavity of the transport box 1. A clamping mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the top of the transport box 1 to clamp and protect the storage tanks 4. A support plate 6 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the transport box 1, and the top of the support plate 6 is in contact with the storage tanks 4.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a rotary motor 51. The bottom of the rotary motor 51 is bolted to the transport box 1. The output shaft of the rotary motor 51 passes through the inner cavity of the transport box 1 and is keyed to a first bevel gear rod 52. A second bevel gear rod 53 is meshed with one side of the bottom of the first bevel gear rod 52. One side of the second bevel gear rod 53 is connected to the transport box 1 through a bearing. A bidirectional lead screw 54 is welded and fixed to one side of the second bevel gear rod 53. Threaded sleeves 55 are threaded to the surfaces of both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 54. Movable plates 56 are welded and fixed to one side of each of the two threaded sleeves 55. Fixed sleeves 57 are bolted to both sides of the movable plates 56. One side of each fixed sleeve 57 is in contact with and clamps the storage tank 4.

[0022] When it is necessary to clamp and protect the storage tank 4, the rotating motor 51 is started first. The output shaft of the rotating motor 51 drives the first bevel gear rod 52 to rotate. At the same time as the first bevel gear rod 52 rotates, it meshes with the second bevel gear rod 53 to rotate. At the same time as the second bevel gear rod 53 rotates, it drives the double-acting screw 54 to rotate. At the same time as the double-acting screw 54 rotates, it drives the two threaded sleeves 55 to move relative to each other. At the same time as the threaded sleeves 55 move, it drives the movable plate 56 to move relative to each other. At the same time as the movable plate 56 moves relative to each other, it drives the sliding sleeve 7 to move on the surface of the sliding rod 8. Subsequently, at the same time as the movable plate 56 moves, it drives the fixed sleeve 57 to move. Finally, the movement of the fixed sleeve 57 clamps the storage tank 4 relative to each other, thereby effectively clamping and protecting the storage tank 4 during transportation.

[0023] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a sliding sleeve 7 is welded and fixed on one side of the movable plate 56. A sliding rod 8 is slidably fitted inside the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve 7. Both sides of the sliding rod 8 are bolted to the transport box 1.

[0024] The connection between the sliding sleeve 7 and the sliding rod 8 serves to assist in the movement of the movable plate 56.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a limiting ring 9 is slidably inserted into the bottom of the rotating motor 51, and the bottom of the limiting ring 9 is bolted to the transport box 1;

[0026] The connection between the limiting ring 9 and the transport box 1 effectively limits the rotation of the rotating motor 51.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple buffer springs 10 are bolted to the bottom of the support plate 6, and the bottom of each buffer spring 10 is bolted to the bottom of the transport box 1.

[0028] The connection between the buffer spring 10 and the transport box 1 provides a buffering and shock-absorbing effect for the support plate 6.

[0029] The working principle of the sample storage device for natural gas exploration provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0030] In use, the natural gas to be explored is first stored in the inner cavity of storage tank 4. Then, storage tank 4 is inserted into the inner cavity of transport box 1, and storage tank 4 is buffered and shock-absorbing by support plate 6 and buffer spring 10. Then, the rotating motor 51 is started, and the output shaft of rotating motor 51 drives the first bevel gear rod 52 to rotate. At the same time as the first bevel gear rod 52 rotates, it meshes with the second bevel gear rod 53 to rotate. At the same time as the second bevel gear rod 53 rotates, it drives the double-acting screw 54 to rotate. At the same time as the double-acting screw 54 rotates, it drives the two screw sleeves 55 to move relative to each other. At the same time as the screw sleeves 55 move, it drives the movable plate 56 to move relative to each other. At the same time as the movable plate 56 moves relative to each other, it drives the sliding sleeve 7 to move on the surface of the sliding rod 8. At the same time as the movable plate 56 moves, it drives the fixed sleeve 57 to move. Finally, the movement of the fixed sleeve 57 clamps the storage tank 4 relative to each other. Finally, it can be unloaded after being transported to the designated place.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
