Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted hydrogen supply systems, and in particular to a gas cylinder support and a gas cylinder support device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing on-board hydrogen supply systems mainly consist of a hydrogen refueling port, a hydrogen storage cylinder, an integrated cylinder valve (OTV), a pressure reducing valve, a venting valve, pipelines, connectors, and a hydrogen supply system frame. The hydrogen supply system frame forms the basis for the arrangement of all components; its function is to securely and stably fix the gas cylinder, pipelines, and other parts to the vehicle body and protect them from damage by external factors.
[0003] Currently, most hydrogen supply system frames on the market are formed by welding. Gas cylinders are assembled onto the hydrogen supply system frame. However, since multiple gas cylinders usually need to be fixed, the hydrogen supply system frame needs to weld multiple layers of support beams to support and fix the gas cylinders. Therefore, the existing gas cylinder hydrogen supply system frames are not only costly to produce, but also heavy. Under the specified load-bearing capacity, the weight of the frame will reduce the amount of hydrogen stored. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing hydrogen supply system frames for gas cylinders, such as high production costs and heavy weight, by providing a gas cylinder support that reliably supports and secures the cylinder while being lightweight and cost-effective. To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A gas cylinder support, comprising:
[0006] The support base has an arc-shaped section at its top;
[0007] The bearing plate is set on the top of the support base. The bearing plate is a downwardly concave arc-shaped plate. The arc of the bearing plate is consistent with the arc of the arc part and the arc of the outer peripheral surface of the gas cylinder. At least one side of the bearing plate in the width direction protrudes from the side of the support base. An assembly space for limiting the installation of the clamp is formed between the bottom surface of the bearing plate and the side of the support base.
[0008] Both the support base and the load-bearing plate are provided with relief holes.
[0009] In one embodiment, the support base includes a first support plate and a second support plate that are spaced apart from each other. The top of the first support plate is provided with a first arc-shaped groove, and the top of the second support plate is provided with a second arc-shaped groove. The first arc-shaped groove and the second arc-shaped groove form an arc-shaped portion that fits the bottom surface of the bearing plate.
[0010] The first side of the bearing plate protrudes beyond the outer side of the first support plate in the width direction, and the assembly space is formed between the bottom surface of the bearing plate and the outer side of the first support plate.
[0011] In one embodiment, the gas cylinder support further includes a baffle, which is disposed at the edge of the first side of the bearing plate and is disposed opposite to the outer side of the first support plate.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first support plate is provided with a plurality of relief holes, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the first support plate, and each relief hole on the first support plate is triangular.
[0013] The second support plate is provided with multiple relief holes, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the second support plate, and each relief hole on the second support plate is triangular.
[0014] In one embodiment, the support base further includes a connecting plate, with the two ends of the first support plate protruding from the bearing plate in the length direction to form a first ear plate, and the two ends of the second support plate protruding from the bearing plate in the length direction to form a second ear plate, and the connecting plate connecting between the first ear plate and the second ear plate and being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate.
[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting plate is provided with a plurality of relief holes, and each relief hole on the connecting plate is triangular.
[0016] In one embodiment, the support plate is provided with a plurality of relief holes, each of which is an elongated hole extending along the length of the support plate.
[0017] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a gas cylinder support device, including a support frame and a plurality of gas cylinder supports arranged in pairs according to any one of the above.
[0018] The supporting frame includes a top frame, a bottom frame, and multiple vertical beams, as well as multiple intermediate supports. The multiple vertical beams are connected between the top frame and the bottom frame, and the multiple intermediate supports are arranged vertically at intervals between the top frame and the bottom frame and are connected to the multiple vertical beams respectively.
[0019] Mounting positions for gas cylinders are formed on the base frame and each intermediate support, and a pair of gas cylinder supports are provided at each mounting position.
[0020] In one embodiment, the gas cylinder support device further includes multiple clamps, which are arranged one-to-one with multiple gas cylinder supports. Each clamp is used to hold the outer periphery of the support plate and the gas cylinder, and the part of each clamp that is in contact with the support plate is limited to the assembly space.
[0021] In one embodiment, the gas cylinder support device further includes a buffer pad disposed on the surface of the support plate that contacts the gas cylinder, and a buffer pad disposed on the surface of the clamp that contacts the gas cylinder.
[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects:
[0023] In this invention, the gas cylinder support includes a support base and a bearing plate, with the bearing plate positioned on top of the support base. The bearing plate is a downwardly recessed arc-shaped plate, the curvature of which matches the arc-shaped portion and the outer circumference of the gas cylinder. At least one side of the bearing plate protrudes from the side of the support base in the width direction, and an assembly space for limiting the installation of a clamp is formed between the bottom surface of the bearing plate and the side surface of the support base. Both the support base and the bearing plate are provided with light-reducing holes.
[0024] This design allows the top surface of the support plate to fit snugly against the outer circumference of the gas cylinder when it is placed on the cylinder support, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the support. Furthermore, the presence of assembly space facilitates the use of clamps or straps to secure the cylinder and support, ensuring reliable fixation. Additionally, the inclusion of weight-reducing holes on both the support and the support plate eliminates unnecessary material, effectively reducing the cylinder support's weight and production costs while maintaining its basic structural strength and functionality.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a gas cylinder support device for supporting and fixing a gas cylinder 30. The gas cylinder 30 can be a fuel gas cylinder, for example, it can be used to hold hydrogen or other fuel gases. Alternatively, the gas cylinder 30 can also be a non-fuel gas cylinder, for example, it can be used to hold liquid nitrogen or other gases. This invention does not specifically limit the gas cylinder 30.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas cylinder 30 support device includes a support frame 10 and a plurality of gas cylinder supports 20 arranged in pairs. The support frame 10 can be a cuboid frame structure. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the support frame 10 can also adopt other shapes, and its appearance can be designed as needed.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, the support frame 10 includes a top frame 11, a bottom frame 12, multiple vertical beams 13, and multiple intermediate supports 14. Specifically, the top frame 11 is arranged opposite to the bottom frame 12 and is located above the bottom frame 12, and the multiple vertical beams 13 are respectively connected between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12.
[0043] For example, both the top frame 11 and the base frame 12 can be rectangular frame structures, and each can include two longitudinal beams, two transverse beams, and two intermediate transverse beams. Each transverse beam is connected between the corresponding ends of the two longitudinal beams. The two intermediate transverse beams can be connected at intervals in the middle of the two longitudinal beams. A plurality of vertical beams 13 can be connected to the ends of the transverse beams of the top frame 11 and the ends of the corresponding transverse beams of the base frame 12, and to the ends of the intermediate transverse beams of the top frame 11 and the ends of the intermediate transverse beams of the base frame 12. Thus, the top frame 11, the base frame 12, and the plurality of vertical beams 13 can constitute a cuboid-shaped frame structure.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple intermediate supports 14 are arranged vertically at intervals between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 and are respectively connected to multiple vertical beams 13. The structure of each intermediate support 14 can be the same as that of the top frame 11. For example, an intermediate support 14 may include two longitudinal beams, two transverse beams, and two intermediate transverse beams.
[0045] Mounting positions 15 for mounting gas cylinders 30 are formed on the base frame 12 and each intermediate support 14, and a pair of gas cylinder supports 20 are provided at each mounting position 15. Specifically, each mounting position 15 can be formed at the two intermediate crossbeams of the base frame 12 and the intermediate support 14. That is, the two intermediate crossbeams on the base frame 12 can be used to mount a pair of gas cylinder supports 20 to support and mount the gas cylinders 30. The two intermediate crossbeams of each intermediate support 14 can also be used to mount a pair of gas cylinder supports 20 to support and mount the gas cylinders 30.
[0046] In this invention, the gas cylinder support 20 is used to directly contact the gas cylinder 30, and it can stably support and bear the gas cylinder 30. The specific embodiments of the gas cylinder support 20 of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a gas cylinder support 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support base 21 and a bearing plate 22. The support base 21 has an arc-shaped portion 211 at its top, and the bearing plate 22 is disposed on the top of the support base 21.
[0048] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the support base 21 includes a first support plate 212 and a second support plate 213 arranged at relatively intervals. The top of the first support plate 212 is provided with a first arcuate groove 2121, and the top of the second support plate 213 is provided with a second arcuate groove 2131. The first arcuate groove 2121 and the second arcuate groove 2131 form an arcuate portion 211 that fits against the bottom surface of the bearing plate 22.
[0049] Both the first support plate 212 and the second support plate 213 can be elongated strips. The length direction of the first support plate 212 and the second support plate 213 is the length direction of the entire support base 21.
[0050] To improve the structural stability of support 21, see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the support base 21 further includes a connecting plate 214. The two ends of the first support plate 212 protrude from the support plate 22 in the length direction to form a first ear plate 2122, and the two ends of the second support plate 213 protrude from the support plate 22 in the length direction to form a second ear plate 2132. The connecting plate 214 is connected between the first ear plate 2122 and the second ear plate 2132 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 22.
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two connecting plates 214. The two connecting plates 214 are respectively connected between the first ear plate 2122 and the second ear plate 2132 at one end of the support base 21, and between the first ear plate 2122 and the second ear plate 2132 at the other end of the support base 21. At the same time, each connecting plate 214 is also fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 22.
[0052] In this embodiment, by providing a connecting plate 214, the structural strength and stability of the support base 21 can be enhanced, thereby improving the support base 21's ability to support the gas cylinder 30.
[0053] It is understood that in the embodiments of this utility model, the support base 21 includes a first support plate 212, a second support plate 213, and two connecting plates 214. However, this utility model is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the support base 21 may also have other structural forms, depending on the specific circumstances. For example, the support base 21 may include two support plates arranged opposite to each other and a plurality of web plates connecting the two support plates.
[0054] like Figure 3As shown, in this invention, the supporting plate 22 is a downwardly concave arc-shaped plate. The curvature of the supporting plate 22 is consistent with the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 211, and the curvature of the supporting plate 22 is also consistent with the curvature of the outer circumferential surface of the gas cylinder 30. It can be understood that in the embodiments of this invention, the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 211 can specifically be the curvature of the first arc-shaped groove 2121 and the second arc-shaped groove 2131. Since the curvature of the supporting plate 22 is consistent with the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 211, the bottom surface of the supporting plate 22 can fit against the first arc-shaped groove 2121 and the second arc-shaped groove 2131, thereby improving the connection reliability between the supporting plate 22 and the first support plate 212 and the second support plate 213.
[0055] Meanwhile, the curvature of the support plate 22 is consistent with the curvature of the outer circumference of the gas cylinder 30. When the gas cylinder 30 is placed on the gas cylinder support 20, the top surface of the support plate 22 can fit against the outer circumference of the gas cylinder 30, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the gas cylinder support 20 in supporting the gas cylinder 30.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, at least one side of the bearing plate 22 protrudes from the side of the support base 21 in the width direction, and an assembly space 23 for limiting the installation of the clamp 16 is formed between the bottom surface of the bearing plate 22 and the side surface of the support base 21. The width direction of the bearing plate 22 is consistent with the overall width direction of the support base 21. The bearing plate 22 may have opposing first and second sides in the width direction. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the first side of the bearing plate 22 protrudes from the outer side of the first support plate 212 in the width direction, and the assembly space 23 can be formed between the bottom surface of the bearing plate 22 and the outer side of the first support plate 212.
[0057] When the gas cylinder 30 is placed on the support plate 22 on top of the support base 21, the top surface of the support plate 22 can fit against the outer peripheral surface of the gas cylinder 30, providing stable support for the gas cylinder 30. Furthermore, to ensure the reliable fixation of the gas cylinder 30 to the gas cylinder support 20, clamps or straps can be used to securely fasten the gas cylinder 30 and the gas cylinder support 20. The clamps or straps can be positioned around the outer periphery of the gas cylinder 30 and the bottom surface of the support plate 22, and are located within the assembly space 23, thereby achieving a stable and reliable secure fastening of the gas cylinder 30 to the gas cylinder support 20.
[0058] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the gas cylinder support 20 further includes a baffle 221, which is disposed at the edge of the first side of the support plate 22, and is disposed opposite to the outer side of the first support plate 212. Multiple baffles 221 may be provided, and the multiple baffles 221 may be spaced apart along the edge of the support plate 22. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the baffle 221 may also be configured as an arc-shaped baffle extending along the edge of the support plate 22, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0059] In this embodiment, by setting baffle 221, it is possible to effectively prevent clamps or straps from detaching from the bearing plate 22 on the side away from the first support plate 212, ensuring that clamps or straps can be reliably installed in the assembly space 23, thereby helping to ensure the fixed reliability of the gas cylinder 30.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the second side of the bearing plate 22 in the width direction can protrude slightly beyond the outer side of the second support plate 213, or the second side of the bearing plate 22 in the width direction can be flush with the outer side of the second support plate 213. This reduces the amount of material used in the bearing plate 22, lowers material costs, and reduces structural weight.
[0061] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the two sides of the bearing plate 22 in the width direction can both protrude from the two sides of the support base 21 and respectively form assembly spaces 23, depending on the specific situation.
[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, the support base 21 is provided with relief holes 24. Exemplarily, the first support plate 212 may be provided with multiple relief holes 24, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the first support plate 212 along its length. Specifically, the multiple relief holes 24 on the first support plate 212 may be respectively provided on the two first ear plates 2122, and on the bottom plates at both ends of the first arc-shaped groove 2121. Figure 2 As an example, the two ends of the first support plate 212 may each be provided with three triangular relief holes 24 spaced apart.
[0063] The weight-reducing holes 24 on the first support plate 212 can be triangular. By setting these holes 24, unnecessary material can be eliminated, effectively reducing the weight of the first support plate 212 and lowering its production costs while maintaining its basic structural strength and function. The triangular design of the weight-reducing holes 24 offers unique advantages in mechanical properties. When the first support plate 212 is subjected to external forces, the multiple triangular holes 24 can alter the stress propagation path, preventing excessive stress concentration in localized areas that could lead to premature cracking, deformation, or even breakage of the plate, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the first support plate 212. Furthermore, the rationally distributed triangular weight-reducing holes 24 can reduce the weight of the first support plate 212 while ensuring sufficient bending strength, thus guaranteeing structural safety.
[0064] It should be noted that the number and layout of the triangular weight-reducing holes 24 on the first support plate 212 can be designed and optimized using finite element analysis software, as long as the goal of reducing the weight of the structure is achieved without sacrificing the strength and stability of the structure.
[0065] It is understood that in other embodiments, the plurality of relief holes 24 provided on the first support plate 212 may also be holes of other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc.
[0066] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second support plate 213 is provided with a plurality of relief holes 24, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the second support plate 213 along its length. For example, three triangular relief holes 24 may be provided at intervals at both ends of the second support plate 213.
[0067] The relief holes 24 on the second support plate 213 can be triangular. By setting relief holes 24, unnecessary material can be eliminated, effectively reducing the weight of the second support plate 213 and lowering its production cost while ensuring the basic structural strength and function of the second support plate 213. Designing the relief holes 24 as triangles offers unique advantages in mechanical properties. When the second support plate 213 is subjected to external forces, multiple triangular relief holes 24 can alter the stress propagation path, preventing excessive stress concentration in localized areas that could lead to premature cracking, deformation, or even breakage of the plate, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the second support plate 213. Furthermore, a rationally distributed array of triangular relief holes 24 can reduce the weight of the second support plate 213 while ensuring sufficient bending strength, thus guaranteeing structural safety.
[0068] It should be noted that the number and layout of the triangular weight-reducing holes 24 on the second support plate 213 can be designed and optimized using finite element analysis software, as long as the goal of reducing the weight of the structure is achieved without sacrificing the strength and stability of the structure.
[0069] It is understood that in other embodiments, the plurality of relief holes 24 provided on the second support plate 213 may also be holes of other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc.
[0070] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 214 is provided with a plurality of relief holes 24. Each relief hole 24 on the connecting plate 214 may be triangular. For example, three triangular relief holes 24 may be provided on the connecting plate 214 at intervals.
[0071] In this embodiment, by setting the weight-reducing holes 24, unnecessary material can be eliminated. While ensuring the basic structural strength and function of the connecting plate 214, the weight of the connecting plate 214 is effectively reduced, lowering its production cost. By designing the weight-reducing holes 24 as triangles, the triangle's geometry offers unique advantages in mechanical properties. When the connecting plate 214 is subjected to external forces, multiple triangular weight-reducing holes 24 can alter the stress propagation path, preventing excessive stress concentration in localized areas that could lead to premature cracking, deformation, or even breakage of the plate. This improves the overall load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the connecting plate 214. Furthermore, the rationally distributed triangular weight-reducing holes 24 can reduce the weight of the connecting plate 214 while ensuring sufficient bending strength, guaranteeing structural safety.
[0072] It should be noted that the number and layout of the triangular weight-reducing holes 24 on the connecting plate 214 can be designed and optimized using finite element analysis software, as long as the goal of reducing structural weight is achieved without sacrificing structural strength and stability.
[0073] It is understood that in other embodiments, the plurality of relief holes 24 provided on the connecting plate 214 may also be holes of other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc.
[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, the support plate 22 is provided with relief holes 24. For example, the support plate 22 may be provided with multiple relief holes 24. Each relief hole 24 on the support plate 22 can be an elongated hole extending along the length direction of the support plate 22. Figure 2 As an example, the support plate 22 may be provided with three elongated relief holes 24 at intervals.
[0075] By incorporating multiple stress-relief holes 24, excess material can be removed, significantly reducing the weight of the load-bearing plate 22 and lowering its production costs while ensuring its basic structural function and strength. The elongated shape of the stress-relief holes 24 alters the stress propagation path of the curved load-bearing plate 22 under external forces, dispersing stress that might otherwise be concentrated in certain areas. When the load-bearing plate 22 is subjected to bending, tension, or compression forces, these stress-relief holes 24 guide stress distribution along a more rational direction, preventing excessive stress concentration in localized areas. This effectively reduces the risk of structural damage such as cracks, deformation, or even fracture, enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity and structural stability of the load-bearing plate 22. Furthermore, the layout of the elongated stress-relief holes 24 can cleverly improve the bending and torsional resistance of the load-bearing plate 22 by adjusting the distribution of internal mechanical parameters such as lever arms and moments.
[0076] It should be noted that the number and layout of the elongated weight-reducing holes 24 on the bearing plate 22 can be designed and optimized using finite element analysis software, as long as the goal of reducing structural weight is achieved without sacrificing structural strength and stability.
[0077] It is understood that in other embodiments, the plurality of relief holes 24 provided on the carrier plate 22 may also be holes of other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc.
[0078] In this embodiment of the gas cylinder support 20, each plate of the support base 21 and the bearing plate 22 can be made of steel plate or other metals, alloys, or other materials. Since the support base 21 and the bearing plate 22 are respectively provided with weight-reducing holes 24, not only can material usage be reduced and costs lowered, but the overall structural weight is also effectively reduced. This helps to achieve a lightweight design for the gas cylinder support 20 and the gas cylinder support device, increasing the hydrogen storage capacity of the gas cylinder support device and improving transportation efficiency. At the same time, although the weight-reducing holes 24 effectively reduce material usage, through reasonable design, the overall structural strength and rigidity of the gas cylinder support 20 can be maintained, which helps to improve the structural load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the weight-reducing holes 24 can reduce the resonance effect of the overall structure of the gas cylinder support 20, reducing vibration and noise, and facilitating the operation of painting and anti-corrosion treatment.
[0079] When the gas cylinder support 20 of this embodiment is installed onto the support frame 10, the two ends of the support base 21 in the length direction can be respectively attached to the two longitudinal beams of the base frame 12 or the intermediate support 14, so that the first support plate 212 and the second support plate 213 are respectively located on both sides of the intermediate crossbeams of the base frame 12 or the intermediate support 14, and then the support base 21 is fixed to the base frame 12 or the intermediate support 14 by welding or bolt connection. Thus, multiple gas cylinder supports 20 can be fixedly installed in pairs at the mounting positions 15 of the intermediate support 14 and the base frame 12, so that the paired gas cylinder supports 20 can be used to support the gas cylinder 30. Figure 1 As shown, the pair of gas cylinder supports 20 arranged on each intermediate support 14 can be symmetrically arranged about the transverse center line of the intermediate support 14, and the two assembly spaces 23 of the pair of gas cylinder supports 20 are respectively located on the opposite side of the two gas cylinder supports 20.
[0080] To improve the reliability of the gas cylinder 30 support device in securing the gas cylinder 30, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 In one embodiment, the gas cylinder support device further includes multiple clamps 16, each clamp corresponding to a gas cylinder support 20. Each clamp 16 is used to clamp onto the outer periphery of the support plate 22 and the gas cylinder 30, and the portion of each clamp 16 that contacts the support plate 22 is confined within the assembly space 23. The clamps 16 may be made of steel.
[0081] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clamp 16 can also be replaced by a binding structure such as a strap or a pull strap.
[0082] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the gas cylinder support device further includes a buffer pad 17, which is disposed on the surface of the support plate 22 that contacts the gas cylinder 30, and on the surface of the clamp 16 that contacts the gas cylinder 30. The buffer pad 17 can be made of rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, or other materials.
[0083] In this embodiment, by setting a buffer pad 17, when the clamp 16 is tightly attached to the outer periphery of the support plate 22 and the gas cylinder 30, the buffer pad 17 between the gas cylinder 30, the support plate 22, and the clamp 16 can be in close contact with the gas cylinder 30, so that the buffer pad 17 can play a role in anti-slip and shock absorption for the gas cylinder 30, ensuring the reliable fixation of the gas cylinder 30.
[0084] This utility model discloses a gas cylinder support and a gas cylinder support device. The gas cylinder support includes a support base and a bearing plate, with the bearing plate disposed on the top of the support base. The bearing plate is a downwardly concave arc-shaped plate, and the curvature of the bearing plate is consistent with the arc-shaped portion and the curvature of the outer peripheral surface of the gas cylinder. Therefore, when the gas cylinder is placed on the gas cylinder support, the top surface of the bearing plate can fit against the outer peripheral surface of the gas cylinder, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the gas cylinder support in supporting the gas cylinder.
[0085] Furthermore, at least one side of the bearing plate protrudes from the side of the support base in the width direction, forming an assembly space between the bottom surface of the bearing plate and the side surface of the support base for limiting the installation of clamps. Due to the existence of this assembly space, clamps or straps can be easily used to securely fasten and fix the gas cylinder and the gas cylinder support, and the clamps or straps can be positioned within the assembly space between the outer periphery of the gas cylinder and the bottom surface of the bearing plate. This allows for stable and reliable fastening and fixing of the gas cylinder to the gas cylinder support, improving the reliability and stability of the gas cylinder's fixation.
[0086] Furthermore, by setting weight-reducing holes on both the support base and the load-bearing plate, unnecessary materials can be eliminated. While ensuring the basic structural strength and function of the gas cylinder support, the weight of the gas cylinder support itself can be effectively reduced, thus lowering its production cost. This, in turn, helps to reduce the cost of the gas cylinder support device and improve its hydrogen storage capacity and carrying efficiency.
[0087] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of structures. The structures in each embodiment are not fixed combinations. In the absence of structural conflicts, the structures in multiple embodiments can be arbitrarily combined and used.
[0088] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. 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 interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
