[0002] Steel cylinders, also known as steel gas cylinders, are steel containers used to store high-pressure oxygen, coal gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc., and are a type of pressure vessel. A Chinese patent discloses a drying device for seamless steel gas cylinders (authorization announcement number CN208419391U), including a heating cabinet and a blowing assembly. The heating cabinet comprises a rectangular cabinet capable of holding multiple gas cylinders side-by-side, electric heating tubes, a sliding base plate assembly, and a power supply. The side walls of the rectangular cabinet have side holes for the gas cylinders to pass through. The gas cylinders are heated from the outside through the heating chamber, and the heating source is evenly distributed around the cylinders, preventing damage caused by localized overheating.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment, a drying device for a seamless steel gas cylinder is provided, including a drying cabinet 1. One side wall of the drying cabinet 1 is open and a plurality of heaters 2 are evenly distributed on its inner side wall. The heaters 2 are connected to an external power supply and a controller, which can control the heaters 2 to heat, thereby achieving the drying effect.

[0026] The bottom of the drying cabinet 1 is equipped with a moving mechanism 3, the upper end of the moving mechanism 3 is equipped with a material feeding plate 4, and a sealing plate 5 is provided on one side of the material feeding plate 4. The moving mechanism 3 can drive the material feeding plate 4 to move, so that it can enter and exit the drying cabinet 1. When the material feeding plate 4 is inside the drying cabinet 1, the sealing plate 5 can close with the side wall of the drying cabinet 1 to achieve a seal. The movement of the material feeding plate 4 can facilitate the loading and unloading of materials (gas cylinders).

[0027] Multiple material cylinders 6 are evenly distributed on the upper end of the feeding plate 4. The material is placed inside the material cylinders 6, and then the air blowing component above the drying cabinet 1 is aligned with the bottle mouth of the material and blows air into it, causing the water vapor inside to evaporate quickly and achieve drying. It should be noted that the air blowing component adopts existing technology and is not shown in the attached drawing. In order to correspond with the air outlet in the air blowing component, the gas cylinder in the material cylinder 6 needs to be placed in the center position. In practical applications, if the gas cylinder and the material cylinder 6 fit perfectly, no excessive adjustment is required. However, this material cylinder 6 is not very adaptable and not very practical because it cannot be adapted to various sizes of gas cylinders. For example, if the outer diameter of the gas cylinder is too small, it needs to be manually adjusted to the center, which will take more time and affect efficiency.

[0028] For the reasons mentioned above, the material cylinder 6 is improved in this application so that it can self-adjust to adapt to gas cylinders of different outer diameters. When placing the gas cylinder, it is placed in the center position, so that there is no need to pay too much attention to the placement position, thereby improving the efficiency of picking and placing.

[0029] The moving mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31 located at the bottom of the drying cabinet 1. A slide groove 32 is provided inside the slide rail 31, and a lead screw 33 is rotatably connected inside the slide groove 32. One end of the lead screw 33 extends out of the slide rail 31 and is connected to a motor 34. The motor 34 is fixed to the side wall of the drying cabinet 1 by a bracket. After the motor 34 is started, it can drive the lead screw 33 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 33 causes the feeding plate 4 connected to it to slide left and right on the slide rail 31, thereby realizing the feeding plate 4 entering and exiting the drying cabinet 1.

[0030] Moreover, a sealing plate 5 is fixed on one side of the feeding plate 4. The bottom of the sealing plate 5 is provided with a groove 51. The groove 51 is stuck on the slide rail 31. When the feeding plate 4 moves, the sealing plate 5 moves along with it. It is limited by the slide rail 31 to maintain stability. After the feeding plate 4 is placed in the drying cabinet 1, the sealing plate 5 seals the opening on the side of the drying cabinet 1.

[0031] The bottom of the feeding plate 4 is provided with a threaded seat 41. The threaded seat 41 is located in the slide groove 32 and is slidably connected to it. The threaded seat 41 is sleeved on the lead screw 33 and the two are threadedly connected. When the lead screw 33 rotates, the threaded seat 41 moves in the slide groove 32, thereby driving the feeding plate 4 to move accordingly.

[0032] The material cylinder 6 includes a base 61, which is an annular structure. Its bottom is fixed to the upper surface of the material feeding plate 4. The upper end of the base 61 is provided with multiple equally spaced baffles 62. The inside of the baffles 62 is provided with a through groove 63. A slide 65 is provided in the through groove 63. The slide 65 can slide up and down in the through groove 63. At the same time, limit holes 66 are symmetrically opened on the slide 65. Correspondingly, several vertically distributed fixing holes 64 are opened on the outer wall of the baffles 62. A positioning pin 67 is provided in the fixing hole 64. The positioning pin 67 is inserted into the fixing hole 64 and the limit hole 66 to limit the slide 65. After the gas cylinder is placed in the base 61, if its height is too high, the slide 65 is adjusted upward and fixed with the positioning pin 67. Conversely, it is adjusted downward. The purpose is to limit the gas cylinder as much as possible and prevent it from tilting.

[0033] The slide 65 is internally threaded with a screw 68. The outer end of the screw 68 is equipped with a knob, and a limiting plate 69 is set at the end that extends into the base 61. The side wall of the limiting plate 69 is equipped with a protective pad. By rotating the screw 68, the limiting plate 69 can be adjusted to move back and forth. The space between multiple limiting plates 69 is determined according to the outer diameter of the gas cylinder. This space only needs to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the gas cylinder, so as not to affect the loading and unloading, and to make the cylinder mouth correspond to the gas nozzle. A scale can also be added to the screw 68, which will make it easier to make the adjustment distance of each screw 68 consistent. After adjustment, the nut 60 on the screw 68 is tightened to achieve the limiting effect of the screw 68.

[0034] In this invention, the material cylinder 6 on the feeding plate 4 can be adjusted. For gas cylinders of different diameters, the position of the limiting plate 69 is first adjusted, and multiple limiting plates 69 form a new placement space so that it corresponds to the outer diameter of the gas cylinder to be inserted, so that the gas cylinder can be in the center position, avoiding the trouble of the gas cylinder opening not corresponding to the gas nozzle, and improving the efficiency of picking up and putting down the gas cylinder.

[0035] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
