[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cylinder technology, specifically a steel cylinder with a protective outer shell. Background Technology

[0002] Gas cylinders are steel cylinders used to store high-pressure oxygen, coal gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc. Gas cylinders generally contain permanent gases, liquefied gases, or mixtures of gases. Gas cylinder management urgently needs improvement among gas cylinder filling units, gas cylinder inspection units, gas cylinder users (including factories, laboratories, hospitals, schools, disease control centers, electronics rooms, clean rooms, industrial institutions, etc.), and bottled gas and gas cylinder distribution units. Safety management of the transportation and storage of gas cylinders should be strengthened.

[0003] Currently, traditional steel cylinders do not provide sufficient protection for themselves and their valves. They are easily impacted during transportation, affecting their service life. Accidental collisions can also deform the valves, leading to poor sealing and potential safety hazards. Therefore, we propose a steel cylinder with a protective outer shell. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel cylinder with a protective shell, which has the advantages of having a protective shell and good protective effect. It solves the problems of traditional steel cylinders not providing enough protection for themselves and valves, being easily impacted during transportation, affecting their service life, and being prone to deformation of the valve in case of accidental collision, resulting in poor sealing and actual safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steel cylinder with a protective outer shell, comprising:

[0006] A stable base, with a vertical pole fixedly connected to the top left end of the stable base, and a first protective shell and a second protective shell respectively movably connected to the front and rear sides of the vertical pole via hinges;

[0007] A main ventilation pipe is attached to the left end of the inner wall of the first protective shell and the second protective shell. A number of branch pipes are connected to one side of the main ventilation pipe. A cylinder body is provided inside the branch pipe. A gas guide hose is connected between the lower end of the main ventilation pipe and the lower end of the inner cavity of the stable base. A manual valve body is provided at one end of the gas guide hose.

[0008] A support plate is located at the bottom of the cylinder body, and a sealing plug that slides within the cavity of the stabilizing base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the right side of the first protective shell are provided with mating grooves, and a threaded hole is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the mating groove.

[0010] Preferably, the right end of the second protective housing is provided with a mating lug adapted to the mating groove, and the rear end of the mating lug is provided with a connecting bolt, and one end of the connecting bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0011] Preferably, both the main ventilation pipe and the branch pipe are made of elastic rubber.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the stable base is provided with L-shaped positioning grooves at both the left and right ends, and a positioning pin is fixedly connected to one end of the inner cavity of the L-shaped positioning groove.

[0013] Preferably, an L-shaped movable component is movably connected to the outer surface of the positioning pin, and a movable wheel is provided at the end of the L-shaped movable component away from the positioning pin.

[0014] Preferably, a U-shaped anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped positioning groove near the positioning pin, and the U-shaped anti-slip sleeve is adapted to the L-shaped movable part.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model improves the stability of the cylinder body when it is placed by setting a stable base. After the cylinder body is placed on the top of the support plate, with the cooperation of the upright and the assistance of the hinge, the first protective shell and the second protective shell are brought closer and fitted together, so that the mating lug can be inserted into the mating groove. Then, the rotating connecting bolt enters the threaded hole, so that the first protective shell and the second protective shell can be connected into a whole and the position of the first protective shell and the second protective shell can be limited. Thus, it can provide comprehensive protection for the outside of the cylinder body, protecting the cylinder body itself and the valve.

[0017] 2. This utility model, by opening the manual valve at one end of the gas delivery hose, allows the cylinder body to slide downwards through the support plate and the sealing plug within the stable base under the influence of gravity. This forces the gas in the stable base cavity to enter the main ventilation pipe through the gas delivery hose, and then into the distribution branch pipe. Since the distribution branch pipe and the main ventilation pipe are made of elastic rubber, they can expand and better fit the surface of the cylinder body. This provides a buffering and shock-absorbing capability between the cylinder body and the first and second protective shells, thus providing better protection for the cylinder body.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a steel cylinder with a protective outer shell, comprising:

[0029] A stable base 1 is fixedly connected to the left end of the top of the stable base 1, and a first protective shell 201 and a second protective shell 202 are respectively movably connected to the front and rear sides of the upright 2 via hinges.

[0030] A ventilation main pipe 302 is bonded to the left end of the inner wall of the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202. A number of branch pipes 301 are connected to one side of the ventilation main pipe 302. A cylinder body 4 is provided inside the branch pipe 301. A gas guide hose 3 is connected between the lower end of the ventilation main pipe 302 and the lower end of the inner cavity of the stable base 1. A manual valve body is provided at one end of the gas guide hose 3.

[0031] The support plate 101 is located at the bottom of the cylinder body 4, and the bottom of the support plate 101 is fixedly connected to a sealing plug 107 that slides in the inner cavity of the stable base 1.

[0032] The first protective housing 201 has mating grooves 203 at both the upper and lower ends on the right side. A threaded hole 206 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the mating groove 203. The right end of the second protective housing 202 is provided with a mating lug 204 that is compatible with the mating groove 203. A connecting bolt 205 is provided at the rear end of the mating lug 204, and one end of the connecting bolt 205 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 206. The main ventilation pipe 302 and the branch pipe 301 are both made of elastic rubber.

[0033] This technical solution: By setting up a stable base 1, the stability of the cylinder body 4 during placement can be improved. After the cylinder body 4 is placed on top of the support plate 101, with the cooperation of the upright 2 and the assistance of the hinge, the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202 are driven to come closer and fit together, so that the mating lug 204 can be inserted into the mating groove 203. Then, the rotating connecting bolt 205 is inserted into the threaded hole 206, thereby connecting the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202 into a whole, and limiting the position of the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202. Thus, it can provide comprehensive protection to the outside of the cylinder body 4, protecting the cylinder body 4 itself. Furthermore, it can protect the valve. Then, the user opens the manual valve at one end of the gas delivery hose 3. Under the influence of gravity, the cylinder body 4 can slide downward through the support plate 101 and the sealing plug 107 in the inner cavity of the stable base 1. This forces the gas in the inner cavity of the stable base 1 to enter the main ventilation pipe 302 through the gas delivery hose 3, and then into the distribution branch pipe 301. Since the distribution branch pipe 301 and the main ventilation pipe 302 are made of elastic rubber, they can expand and fit better against the surface of the cylinder body 4. This provides a buffering and shock-absorbing capability between the cylinder body 4 and the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202, thus providing better protection for the cylinder body 4.

[0034] It should be noted that the angle of movement of the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202 is between zero and ninety degrees. After the first protective shell 201 and the second protective shell 202 come together and close, they can clamp and limit the cylinder body 4.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom of the stable base 1 has L-shaped positioning grooves 103 at both the left and right ends. A positioning pin 106 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner cavity of the L-shaped positioning groove 103. An L-shaped movable part 102 is movably connected to the outer surface of the positioning pin 106. A moving wheel 104 is provided at the end of the L-shaped movable part 102 away from the positioning pin 106. A U-shaped anti-slip sleeve 105 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped positioning groove 103 near the positioning pin 106, and the U-shaped anti-slip sleeve 105 is adapted to the L-shaped movable part 102.

[0037] This technical solution: By setting the L-shaped positioning groove 103, the L-shaped movable part 102 and the moving wheel 104 can be stored. When it is necessary to move this protective shell, the L-shaped movable part 102 can be driven out of the inner side of the U-shaped anti-slip sleeve 105 by the L-shaped positioning groove 103, and rotated outward by 180 degrees with the positioning pin 106 as the center. At this time, the L-shaped positioning groove 103 can limit the position of the L-shaped movable part 102 and make the moving wheel 104 contact the ground, thereby facilitating the movement and use of this protective shell.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
