Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container handling technology, specifically a transport carrier suitable for forklifts to handle gas cylinders. Background Technology

[0002] Cylinders containing oxygen, acetylene, and hydrogen are high-pressure containers and must be stored in hazardous chemical warehouses for safety reasons. Due to their high center of gravity and small bottom support area, these cylinders are prone to tipping over during transport due to road bumps, operational errors, or equipment malfunctions. Manually pushing carts or carrying overweight cylinders by hand can lead to muscle strains and instability for handlers. Transporting cylinders of different properties (such as oxygen and acetylene) together can cause chemical reactions, increasing the risk of explosion. Therefore, cylinder handling equipment is required.

[0003] Forklift handling devices are more widely used. Compared to manual handling, which relies on manpower, is slow, labor-intensive, and prone to cylinder collisions or tipping due to improper operation, forklift handling is highly mobile, can quickly move cylinders, and improve efficiency; it has a large load-bearing capacity, can move multiple cylinders, and saves manpower; and it has strong stability, as the height and angle of the forks can be controlled through a hydraulic system to reduce the risk of cylinder tilting.

[0004] However, existing forklift handling equipment still has many limitations. The turning radius of a standard forklift is 3-5 meters, which can easily lead to collisions in warehouse areas with densely spaced racks. The lifting height of the forks is limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-rise racks. There is a high probability that the top of the gas cylinder will scrape against the ceiling or light fixtures. When fixing the gas cylinder, the clamp bolts are easy to loosen, the center of gravity of the gas cylinder is too high, and the forklift can easily cause a tipping moment when accelerating / decelerating. Uneven roads will aggravate the shaking of the gas cylinder and increase the risk of tipping over. In addition, it requires high skill from personnel and has high maintenance costs.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a transport carrier suitable for forklift handling of gas cylinders to solve the problems of insufficient stability, low handling efficiency, and lack of safety protection in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above facts, in order to solve the problems of insufficient stability, low handling efficiency and lack of safety protection in the prior art, this utility model designs a transport carrier suitable for forklift handling of gas cylinders.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A transport carrier suitable for forklift handling of gas cylinders includes a fixing locking ring, a protective chain, a forklift bracket, a guard plate, a chain hook, a lifting screw, a slide rail, a frame, and a protective baffle.

[0009] The frame includes a top frame and a bottom frame, and the top frame and bottom frame are connected by a lifting screw and a locking nut.

[0010] The forklift bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame, and the guard plates are installed on the left and right sides of the frame;

[0011] The slide rail is installed inside the guard plate, and the left and right sides of the top frame slide in conjunction with the slide rail.

[0012] Several fixed locking rings are arranged in a straight line and welded to the front and rear sides of the top frame and the bottom frame. The first end of the protective chain is fixed to the top frame and the bottom frame, and the tail end passes through the fixed locking rings in sequence. The protective chain forms a lock between two adjacent fixed locking rings. The tail end of the protective chain is connected to the main body of the protective chain through a chain hook.

[0013] Both the top and bottom frames are equipped with protective baffles, which together with the locking sleeve form a gas cylinder locking and protective ring.

[0014] Furthermore, a lifting crank is connected to the top end of the lifting screw.

[0015] Furthermore: the shock-absorbing pads are fixedly installed on the forklift bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the protective baffle is arc-shaped.

[0017] Furthermore, the forklift bracket is provided with a forklift slot.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model eliminates the need for rivets and ground fixing after the gas cylinder is placed, saving the cost and time of drilling holes, riveting, or installing fixing parts in the ground. The equipment can be easily moved to different work areas, providing high flexibility.

[0020] 2. This utility model uses a protective chain to secure the gas cylinder, which can firmly fix the gas cylinder to the handling equipment, preventing the gas cylinder from tipping over due to shaking or collision during transportation. It adapts to different terrains, reduces gas cylinder displacement, and improves stability.

[0021] 3. This utility model uses a chain hook for further fixation, providing double protection to prevent the gas cylinder from accidentally falling off during transportation, thus enhancing safety. The chain can quickly wrap around the gas cylinder and fix it to the hook, improving work efficiency.

[0022] 4. This utility model uses a lifting screw in conjunction with an adjustable fixing device, which can adapt to gas cylinders of different heights, diameters and weights, thus improving the versatility of the device.

[0023] 5. Based on a carrier manufacturing cost of 500 yuan, this utility model can replace 6 traditional gas cylinder transport carts (300 yuan / cart). Through efficiency improvement, the investment can be recovered within 6 months. At the same time, it also reduces maintenance costs. The detachable design reduces the cost of component replacement by 80%.

[0024] 6. This utility model significantly optimizes the workflow of gas cylinder handling through structural innovation, while meeting industrial equipment safety standards. It is applicable to multiple fields such as manufacturing, energy, and medical care, promoting the upgrading of gas cylinder transportation towards high efficiency and standardization, and is conducive to widespread promotion.
