Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gas cylinder transportation technology, and in particular to an integrated gas cylinder basket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, oxygen, acetylene, and other gases used on construction sites are mostly transported in cylindrical steel cylinders. These cylinders lack suitable lifting points, making hoisting extremely inconvenient. Conventional methods for cylinder transport include wire rope binding, dedicated cylinder trolleys, and manual handling. Wire rope binding, as the name suggests, involves binding a wire rope at three equal points on the cylinder and using large lifting equipment to move it to the designated location; this method is suitable for transporting a small number of cylinders across varying heights. Dedicated trolley transport uses a special handcart with four small wheels to move cylinders; this is suitable for moving a small number of cylinders in hardened areas. Manual handling is a primitive method involving carrying on shoulders or by two people lifting and carrying, suitable for moving a small number of cylinders in various terrain conditions.

[0003] However, conventional methods of handling gas cylinders have the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) Steel wire rope binding and hoisting: The binding process is complicated, and improper binding methods can easily cause gas cylinders to fall off and cause safety accidents. Moreover, only one gas cylinder can be transferred at a time, which is not suitable for large-scale transfer.

[0005] (2) Special trolley handling: It is only suitable for handling in hardened areas, and cannot be used for vertical transfer. It can only transfer one gas cylinder at a time and is not suitable for large-scale transfer.

[0006] (3) Manual handling: It is time-consuming and laborious, and at most two gas cylinders can be moved at a time. It is slow.

[0007] Therefore, the existing methods of handling gas cylinders are not suitable for current construction safety management and lack protective measures for gas cylinders, posing serious safety hazards during construction. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this application is to provide an integrated gas cylinder basket that can transport multiple gas cylinders at once, which has the effects of saving time and effort, and providing high stability and safety during transport.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0010] An integrated gas cylinder basket includes a main frame and a secondary frame. The main frame includes a central column, a middle plate, and a base plate. The middle plate and the base plate are both vertically connected to the central column. The base plate is fixed to the bottom of the central column. The middle plate is located in the middle of the central column and can move up and down along the height of the central column. Both the middle plate and the base plate are provided with limiting structures for restricting the position of a single gas cylinder, and the limiting structures on the middle plate and the base plate correspond one-to-one.

[0011] Further configuration: The limiting structure includes a limiting groove, the opening of which is oriented towards the outside of the main frame.

[0012] Further configuration: The limiting groove is configured as an arc-shaped groove.

[0013] Further configuration: A set of limiting grooves is provided on each side of the middle plate along its length, and each set of limiting grooves has multiple grooves along the length of the middle plate.

[0014] Further configuration: The subframe is provided with a railing extending along the length of the middle plate at the opening of the limiting groove corresponding to the middle plate. The railing and the limiting groove of the middle plate enclose a limiting space that restricts a single gas cylinder from laterally detaching from the basket.

[0015] Further configuration: One end of the railing is hinged to the sub-frame, and the other end is detachably connected to the sub-frame via a pin.

[0016] Further configuration: The sub-frame includes four columns located at the four corners of the middle plate and the chassis, and the top of the four columns is provided with connecting rods.

[0017] Further feature: The connecting rod is equipped with lifting lugs.

[0018] Further configuration: The top of the central column is fixed to the connecting rod, and a stiffening plate is provided between the central column and the connecting rod.

[0019] Further configuration: The chassis includes two layers of steel plates. The lower steel plate serves as a support plate to support the gas cylinder, and the upper steel plate is provided with a limiting structure that corresponds one-to-one with the limiting structure of the middle plate.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the solution in this application has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. In the integrated gas cylinder basket involved in this application, the gas cylinder is three-dimensionally constrained by setting limiting structures on the middle plate and the base plate.

[0034] It should be noted that the concepts of "first" and "second" mentioned in this utility model are only used to distinguish between devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit these devices, modules or units to necessarily be different devices, modules or units, nor are they used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0035] To address the issues of cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive gas cylinder handling operations, which also pose significant safety hazards, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an integrated gas cylinder hoist, which includes a main frame 1 and a secondary frame 2. The main frame 1 is located inside the secondary frame 2. The hoist structure for hoisting gas cylinders is defined by the main frame 1 and the secondary frame 2. It eliminates the need for manual handling and steel wire rope binding of gas cylinders, and can transport multiple gas cylinders at once, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of gas cylinder transportation.

[0036] Specifically, the main frame 1 includes a central column 11, a middle plate 12, and a base plate 13. The central column 11 is vertically connected to the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13, and the central column 11 is located at the symmetrical center of the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13. The central column 11 serves as the core support structure of the main frame 1, ensuring the stability and balance of the entire structure. The base plate 13 is fixed to the bottom of the central column 11, and the middle plate 12 is located in the middle of the central column 11. Both the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13 are equipped with limiting structures to restrict the position of individual gas cylinders. The limiting structures on the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13 are correspondingly set one-to-one. The limiting structures can restrict the position of individual gas cylinders on the main frame 1, ensuring the stability and safety of the gas cylinders during transportation. Furthermore, the limiting structures facilitate the fixing and arrangement of gas cylinders, enabling the transportation of multiple gas cylinders at once, effectively improving the space utilization and transportation efficiency of the suspended platform.

[0037] The limiting structure of this embodiment includes limiting grooves 14 correspondingly opened on the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13. The opening of the limiting groove 14 is set towards the outside of the main frame 1, which facilitates the lateral loading and fixing of the gas cylinder. Furthermore, the dual-plane limiting design of the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13 can form a three-dimensional constraint on the gas cylinder, reduce the lateral movement space of the gas cylinder, and prevent the gas cylinder from shaking or tipping over during transportation.

[0038] Furthermore, a set of limiting grooves 14 is provided on each side of the central plate 12 along its length, and each set of limiting grooves 14 has multiple slots along the length of the central plate 12. The spacing between the slots can be standardized according to the diameter of the gas cylinder to support the parallel loading of multiple cylinders. The limiting grooves 14 of this application are provided in two sets on both sides of the central column 11 to form a symmetrical layout, ensuring the balance when loading gas cylinders.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, each set of limiting grooves 14 is provided with three on the long side of the middle plate 12. The integrated gas cylinder basket of this embodiment can transfer up to six gas cylinders at a time, which improves the transfer efficiency of gas cylinders.

[0040] In addition, the limiting groove 14 in this embodiment is set as an arc-shaped groove, which can match the outer contour of the gas cylinder and improve the constraint effect of the limiting groove 14 on the gas cylinder.

[0041] This application provides a railing 24 on the sub-frame 2. The railing 24 is located on the side of the opening of the limiting groove 14 of the middle plate 12, and the railing 24 extends along the length of the middle plate 12. The railing 24 and the limiting groove 14 of the middle plate 12 enclose a limiting space that restricts a single gas cylinder from laterally leaving the basket, so as to effectively block the lateral position of the gas cylinder.

[0042] In this embodiment, one end of the railing 24 is hinged to the sub-frame 2, and the other end can be detachably connected to the sub-frame 2 via a pin, thereby forming a single-door latch gate on both sides of the suspended basket, which facilitates the storage and retrieval of gas cylinders.

[0043] At least one railing 24 is provided along the height direction of the sub-frame 2. That is, in different embodiments, one or more railings 24 can be set according to the height of the gas cylinder to be transported, to restrict the gas cylinder from leaving the basket laterally and to ensure the limiting effect of the railing 24 on the gas cylinder.

[0044] The sub-frame 2 is installed outside the main frame 1 and can be used for lifting operations. In this embodiment, the sub-frame 2 includes four columns 21, which are located at the four corners of the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13. The bottom of the columns 21 is fixedly connected to the base plate 13, and the corners of the middle plate 12 are provided with connectors that are fixedly connected to the corresponding columns 21. At the same time, a connecting rod is provided at the top of the four columns 21 to connect the four columns 21 into a whole. The connecting rod includes a first connecting rod 22 connected to the top of two adjacent columns 21. There are two first connecting rods 22, which are arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, the first connecting rods 22 are connected to the top of two columns 21 along the width direction of the middle plate 12. A second connecting rod 23 is connected to the middle of the two first connecting rods 22. A lifting lug 3 is provided in the middle of the second connecting rod 23. The lifting equipment uses the lifting lug 3 to lift and transfer the gas cylinder. Meanwhile, a second connecting rod 23 is welded to the top of the central column 11, and a stiffening plate 25 is provided between the central column 11 and the second connecting rod 23 to improve the connection strength between the two, so as to further improve the structural strength of the suspended platform of this application.

[0045] In one embodiment, since the specifications of the gas cylinders are different, the height of the gas cylinders to be transported is different. Therefore, the middle plate 12 in this embodiment can move up and down along the height direction of the central column 11. Specifically, the center of the middle plate 12 is provided with a through hole 121 for the central column 11 to pass through, and the middle plate 12 is provided with bolts that pass into the through hole 121 and abut against the central column 11 to fix the position of the middle plate 12, so as to meet the positioning requirements of gas cylinders of different specifications.

[0046] In an embodiment where the position of the middle plate 12 can be adjusted along the height direction of the central column 11, the central column 11 can be configured as a lead screw. The middle plate 12 has a connecting sleeve with a through hole 121 at its center. The connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the central column 11, and the middle plate 12 and the connecting sleeve are rotatably connected via bearings. This allows adjustment of the relative position of the middle plate 12 on the central column 11 by rotating the connecting sleeve. Furthermore, the four corner ends of the middle plate 12 are connected to four uprights 21 via connectors, restricting rotation of the middle plate 12 relative to the central column 11. In this embodiment, the connectors include clamps that grip the uprights 21, connecting the corner ends of the middle plate 12 to the uprights 21 to ensure the stability of the middle plate 12's position.

[0047] In addition, the chassis 13 of this embodiment is composed of two layers of steel plates. The lower steel plate serves as a support plate to support the gas cylinder, while the upper steel plate has a limiting groove 14 that corresponds one-to-one with the limiting groove 14 of the middle plate 12. This allows the chassis 13 to not only provide vertical support for the gas cylinder but also limit its lateral displacement, and together with the limiting groove 14 of the middle plate 12, it forms a three-dimensional limiting space for the gas cylinder.

[0048] In summary, the integrated gas cylinder basket of this application achieves three-dimensional constraint on the gas cylinders by setting limiting structures on the middle plate 12 and the base plate 13. This eliminates the need to use steel wire ropes to tie the gas cylinders, reducing the risk of them falling, and also eliminates the need for manual handling, thus improving the utilization rate of the mechanical equipment. Furthermore, this application can transport multiple gas cylinders at once, improving the efficiency of gas cylinder transportation, reducing the number of lifting operations, and lowering the probability of potential safety risks.

[0049] The above description is only a partial embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
