They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model or simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] See Figures 1-4This utility model is a protective device for storing special gas cylinders in a workshop. It has a base plate 9 with four mounting holes 8 near the four corners. Two parallel upright plates 10 are arranged on one side of the base plate, connected by a horizontal plate 5. Furthermore, each of the two upright plates has a U-shaped hook 2 welded to its upper outer wall for hooking cables or pipes. A rotating shaft 12 is located on the upper part of the front side wall of one of the upright plates, and a rotating plate 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1. The rotating plate... A horizontally arranged gas cylinder guard plate 3 is connected via a vertical pivot. Furthermore, the vertical pivot in this invention is constructed by combining connecting bolts 11 and limiting nuts 13. The gas cylinder guard plate is provided with at least two semi-circular arc-shaped protective sleeves 4, in which gas cylinders 16 are placed and, together with the horizontal plate, clamp and constrain the gas cylinders for protection. A shelf plate 7 is provided on the upper part of the front side wall of another vertical plate, and the shelf plate is provided with a pillow groove 6. When the gas cylinder guard plate is laid flat, its end is placed in the pillow groove for limiting and supporting. Furthermore, in this invention, all the semi-circular arc-shaped protective sleeves are arranged horizontally side-by-side at intervals, with the openings of the semi-circular arc-shaped protective sleeves facing the direction of the horizontal plate.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, anchor bolts 14 or universal rollers 15 can be installed in the mounting holes. Furthermore, in this invention, the upright plate is located at the rear edge of the base plate, and the upright plate is made of steel strip with a thickness of 0.8–1.5 mm. Furthermore, in this invention, the base plate is made of rectangular steel plate, and the base plate and the upright plate are connected by welding.

[0028] This utility model is a practical tool, and its various components can be made using scrap materials from the workshop. During the manufacturing process, the rotating plate and the rotating shaft are fixedly connected. The rotating shaft is positioned near the upper end of the corresponding vertical plate, allowing it to rotate freely within the vertical plate. The rotating plate is connected to the horizontally arranged gas cylinder guard plate 3 using connecting bolts 11 and limiting nuts 13, facilitating flexible rotation between the rotating plate and the horizontally arranged gas cylinder guard plate in the horizontal plane. The gas cylinder guard plate is originally a long strip, with multiple semi-circular arc-shaped protective plates near its middle position. These semi-circular arc-shaped protective plates are bent into the long strip gas cylinder guard plate, with one half open to easily enclose the gas cylinder (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the open side works in conjunction with the horizontal plate behind it to limit and protect the gas cylinder.

[0029] In actual use in the workshop, it can be used in a fixed position, that is, the base plate is fixed in a fixed and suitable position with anchor bolts, and then the gas cylinder is placed on it. Alternatively, universal casters can be installed on the bottom of the base plate, so that the entire equipment can be moved freely to the place where it is needed.

[0030] When placing a gas cylinder, the operator lifts the gas cylinder cover upwards, and then rotates the gas cylinder cover around the connecting bolt (the opening in the gas cylinder cover is slightly larger than the diameter of the connecting bolt to leave a gap for flexible rotation; the two are not threaded). This opens the gas cylinder cover, allowing the gas cylinder to be placed smoothly. After placement, the gas cylinder cover is turned over and placed in the support groove for positioning, preventing the gas cylinder from moving around.

[0031] In this invention, a U-shaped hook is provided on the outside of the upright plate, which can be used to hook some soft conduit or some practical small tools, making them readily available.

[0032] This invention utilizes a self-designed safety protection structure to neatly organize and store various industrial gas cylinders scattered throughout a workshop, achieving both safe use and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. It provides two storage options: one where the entire device is fixed in a specific location, and another where universal casters are installed on the base plate for flexible cylinder transport within the workshop. Switching between the two is convenient. This invention is entirely constructed from scrap materials found in steel structure production workshops, resulting in very low manufacturing costs. A single device can accommodate multiple semi-circular protective plates, simultaneously loading and neatly arranging multiple cylinders, promoting orderly use and enhancing the workshop's awareness and adherence to safe operating procedures for industrial gases.
