[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a support structure to prevent gas cylinders from tipping over, including an angle support unit 10 and a locking member. The angle support unit 10 includes a first support plate 101 and a second support plate 102 fixed at an included angle, and the inner side of the angle support unit 10 is used to place the gas cylinder 20. The locking member is disposed at the bottom of the angle support unit 10 and is used to detachably fix the angle support unit 10 to the ground. The locking member includes a pre-drilled hole and a connector. The pre-drilled hole is disposed at the bottom of the angle support unit 10, and the connector passes through the pre-drilled hole to form a detachable connection between the angle support unit 10 and the ground. The connector can be a bolt. A base plate is provided at the bottom of the angle support unit 10, and the pre-drilled hole is disposed on the base plate. The bolt passes through the pre-drilled hole, allowing the angle support unit 10 to be firmly connected to the ground, while also facilitating disassembly and adjustment.
[0038] It should be further explained that the corner support unit 10 can be used individually or in combination by splicing multiple units. When used individually, the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102 of the corner support unit 10 can effectively provide stable support for the gas cylinder 20, reducing the risk of the gas cylinder 20 tipping over due to external forces or accidents. To make the gas cylinder 20 more securely located inside the corner support unit 10, it can also be fixed to the inside of the corner support unit 10 by a chain, or the corner support unit 10 can be set against a wall; the specific method is not limited here. When multiple corner support units 10 are spliced together, the user can arrange multiple gas cylinders 20 closely in sequence and place them in the gas cylinder receiving cavity formed by splicing multiple corner support units 10, so as to facilitate the large-scale storage of gas cylinders 20.
[0039] In this embodiment, the support structure for preventing the gas cylinder from tipping over includes an angle support unit 10 and a locking member. The angle support unit 10 includes a first support plate 101 and a second support plate 102 fixed at an included angle, and the inner side of the angle support unit 10 is used to place the gas cylinder 20. The locking member is located at the bottom of the angle support unit 10 and is used to detachably fix the angle support unit 10 to the ground. The first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102 of the angle support unit 10 can effectively provide stable support for the gas cylinder 20, reducing the risk of the gas cylinder 20 tipping over due to external force or accident. Furthermore, the locking member allows the angle support unit 10 to be detachably fixed to the ground, thereby improving its stability during use. When the gas cylinder 20 needs to be moved or transferred, the angle support unit 10 and the gas cylinder 20 can be flexibly moved to the target location together by unlocking the locking member, making the operation convenient and efficient. In addition, this support structure for preventing the gas cylinder from tipping over has a small footprint, a simple design, is easy to mass-produce, and saves costs.
[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102 are fixed at right angles.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, the support structure for preventing the gas cylinder from tipping over also includes a reinforcing rod 30, which is disposed along the height of the corner support unit 10. The reinforcing rod 30 further enhances the support provided by the corner support unit 10 for the gas cylinder 20. Specifically, the reinforcing rod 30 is a steel pipe, specifically a galvanized steel pipe DN40 (DN40 is a pipe specification; "DN" represents "nominal diameter," and 40 indicates that the nominal diameter of the pipe is 40 mm).
[0042] In some optional embodiments, there are multiple reinforcing rods 30, respectively disposed at the end of the first support plate 101 away from the included angle, the end of the second support plate 102 away from the included angle, and the intersection of the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102. Alternatively, the reinforcing rods 30 may be disposed at the middle position of the first support plate 101, and / or, the reinforcing rods 30 may be disposed at the middle position of the second support plate 102.
[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 2As shown, in some optional embodiments, there are multiple corner support units 10, which are connected end-to-end to form a cylinder receiving cavity 40. Adjacent corner support units 10 are connected by splicing connectors. For example, there are four corner support units 10, which are connected end-to-end to form a rectangular cylinder receiving cavity. Adjacent corner support units 10 are connected by splicing connectors, and multiple cylinders 20 are arranged sequentially and closely within the rectangular cylinder receiving cavity. It should be noted that the number of corner support units 10 can be flexibly selected according to actual needs. Multiple corner support units 10 can be used to form cylinder receiving cavities of different specifications to adapt to different usage scenarios and storage requirements.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, the splicing connector includes a scaffolding buckle 501 and a horizontal connecting pipe 502, wherein the horizontal connecting pipe 502 is connected to a reinforcing rod 30 disposed on the corner support unit 10 via the scaffolding buckle 501. The number of horizontal connecting pipes 502 can be, but is not limited to, two. The scaffolding buckle 501 is typically made of steel and has high strength and durability. The horizontal connecting pipe 502 is a steel pipe, specifically a galvanized steel pipe DN40, with a length not exceeding 6m.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, the length of the first support plate 101 is the same as the length of the second support plate 102, and the thickness of the first support plate 101 is the same as the thickness of the second support plate 102. The first support plate 101 and the second support plate 102 are fixed at right angles to form a stable corner support unit 10.
[0046] In some optional embodiments, the length of the first support plate 101 and the length of the second support plate 102 are both 50 mm; the thickness of the first support plate 101 and the thickness of the second support plate 102 are both 3 mm, or the thickness of the first support plate 101 and the thickness of the second support plate 102 are both 5 mm.
[0047] In some alternative embodiments, the height of the first support plate 101 and the height of the second support plate 102 both exceed half the height of the cylinder.
[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 3 As shown, in some other alternative embodiments, the height of the corner support unit 10 is 1.1m. Specifically, the height of the first support plate 101 and the height of the second support plate 102 are both 1.1m.
[0049] In some alternative embodiments, the corner support unit 10 weighs 15 kg, a design that facilitates the movement of the corner support unit 10.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, the surface of the corner support unit 10 is galvanized to prevent oxidation and corrosion, thereby extending its service life. Specifically, the surfaces of the first support plate 101, the second support plate 102, and the reinforcing rod 30 are all galvanized. All three are made of steel, and the galvanizing effectively improves their corrosion resistance. It should be further noted that when multiple corner support units 10 are spliced together, the splicing connectors are also made of steel, and their surfaces are also galvanized.
[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the cylinder 20 is secured to the inside of the corner support unit 10 by a chain. When the corner support unit 10 is used alone, securing the cylinder 20 to the inside of the corner support unit 10 by a chain allows the cylinder 20 to be more securely positioned inside the corner support unit 10.
[0052] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
