A special gas cylinder transport device

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of special gas cylinder technology, and proposes a special gas cylinder transportation device, including a frame, a lateral moving component on the frame, a pair of bases for placing special gas cylinders on the lateral moving component, two guide rods fixed on both sides of the frame for sliding guidance of the lateral moving component, and a driving component on the frame for driving the lateral moving component to move horizontally. In this utility model, the bases are connected to the supports by hinges and are equipped with torsion springs, so that the bases remain vertical in the normal state. When the lateral moving component moves horizontally, the inclined surface at the bottom of the base gradually detaches from the support of the inclined brace, the center of gravity of the cylinder shifts, and the base slowly tilts under the action of the torsion spring, realizing the tilted placement of the cylinder. The inclined brace provides static support for the base, ensuring stability in the vertical state. Through the tilting function of the base, the cylinder can be placed at a certain angle during transportation, effectively reducing vehicle height restrictions and making it suitable for low-profile transportation environments.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of special gas cylinder technology, specifically to a special gas cylinder transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Specialty gas cylinders are pressure vessels specifically designed for storing and transporting specialty gases. They typically come in standard sizes and specifications, facilitating packaging, transportation, and storage. During transport, multiple cylinders can be secured to specialized transport racks or vehicles to ensure stability and safety; during storage, they can be arranged and managed appropriately as needed.

[0003] A search revealed that CN219821472U discloses a safety device for short-distance transportation of special gas cylinders. The device includes a transport frame, casters, a pusher, a cylinder body, retaining clamps, and a load-bearing plate. The transport frame serves as the overall support structure for the device. The casters are mounted at the bottom of the transport frame, and the pusher is connected to the end of the transport frame. A movable slot is provided inside the transport frame, and the cylinder body is movably connected within this slot. The retaining clamps are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the cylinder body, and the load-bearing plate is installed inside the movable slot. This safety device for short-distance transportation of special gas cylinders utilizes a rack and pinion transmission structure between the retaining clamps and the load-bearing plate. The weight of the cylinder serves as the driving force, creating a height difference between the load-bearing plate and the retaining clamps, thus supporting and securing the cylinder. Loading and unloading can be performed without tools, increasing the convenience of cylinder transfer and transportation.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned special gas cylinder transport device still has the following problems: The above-mentioned special gas cylinder transport device is to place the special gas cylinder vertically on the transport frame, and then support and fix the cylinder by the height difference between the load-bearing plate and the limiting hoop. The relative stability is poor, and it is not suitable for low-rise transport environments with vehicle height restrictions (such as underground garages or height-restricted areas). Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a special gas cylinder transportation device, which solves the problems of insufficient stability and unsuitability for low-lying transportation environments in the existing technology of vertical placement and fixing.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A special gas cylinder transport device includes a frame, a transverse moving component is provided on the frame, a pair of bases for placing special gas cylinders are provided on the transverse moving component, two guide rods for sliding guidance of the transverse moving component are fixed on both sides of the frame, a driving component for driving the transverse moving component to move horizontally is provided on the frame, a support frame is vertically fixed above the frame, and a fixing component for stabilizing the special gas cylinder is provided on the top of the support frame, and a diagonal brace is fixed on the frame to support the bases to keep the special gas cylinder in a vertical state, and the transverse moving component can tilt the special gas cylinder through the bases under the drive of the driving component.

[0007] Preferably, the driving component includes a motor, which is fixed to the outer end face of the frame, and a threaded rod is fixed to the output end of the motor. The threaded rod is arranged along the length direction of the frame and is rotatably connected to the frame.

[0008] Preferably, the lateral movement component includes a crossbar, with sliding sleeves fixed at both ends of the crossbar, and the two sliding sleeves are slidably sleeved outside the two guide rods. Two supports are fixed on the crossbar, and diagonal bracing rods are fixed on the side of the two supports facing away from the diagonal bracing plate.

[0009] Preferably, the threaded rod extends laterally through the crossbar and is threadedly connected to the crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, the base is hinged to the support, and a torsion spring is engaged at the hinge, so that the base abuts against the diagonal brace under the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the base near the brace plate has a slope.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing component includes a semi-circular ring, which is hinged to the support frame. A strap is fixed to each end of the semi-circular ring, and the two straps are fixed together by a buckle.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the base is connected to the support via a hinge and is equipped with a torsion spring, ensuring the base remains vertical under normal conditions. When the lateral moving component moves laterally, the inclined surface at the bottom of the base gradually detaches from the support of the inclined brace, the center of gravity of the gas cylinder shifts, and the base slowly tilts under the elastic force of the torsion spring, achieving the tilted placement of the gas cylinder. The inclined brace provides static support for the base, ensuring stability in the vertical state. Through the tilting function of the base, the gas cylinder can be placed at a certain angle during transportation, effectively reducing vehicle height restrictions and making it suitable for low-ceiling transportation environments (such as underground garages or height-restricted areas).

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the semi-circular ring at the top of the support frame can surround the upper part of the steel cylinder and be quickly fixed by straps and buckles to form a top constraint to prevent the top from shaking during transportation. The base directly contacts the bottom of the steel cylinder and, combined with the top fixation, forms a two-point fixation, improving the overall stability. It is especially suitable for tilted transportation scenarios.

[0016] 3. In this utility model, the torsion spring at the hinge of the base provides elastic support when the gas cylinder is tilted. It can not only assist the tilting action, but also absorb vibrations on bumpy roads, avoiding damage to the gas cylinder caused by hard impacts. The inclined surface design of the base forms a self-locking tendency after tilting to the correct position. Combined with the tension of the torsion spring, it enhances the stability in the static state. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a technical solution: a special gas cylinder transportation device, including a frame 1, a transverse moving component 2 on the frame 1, a pair of bases 3 for placing special gas cylinders on the transverse moving component 2, two guide rods 8 fixed on both sides of the frame 1 for sliding guidance of the transverse moving component 2, a driving component 4 on the frame 1 for driving the transverse moving component 2 to move horizontally, a support frame 5 vertically fixed above the frame 1, and a fixing component 6 for stabilizing the special gas cylinder on the top of the support frame 5, and a diagonal brace 7 fixed on the frame 1 for supporting the bases 3 to keep the special gas cylinder in a vertical state. The transverse moving component 2 can tilt and place the special gas cylinder through the bases 3 under the drive of the driving component 4.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 The drive component 4 includes a motor 41, which is fixed to the outer end face of the frame 1. A threaded rod 42 is fixed to the output end of the motor 41. The threaded rod 42 is arranged along the length of the frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the frame 1.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transverse component 2 includes a crossbar 21, with sliding sleeves 22 fixed at both ends of the crossbar 21. The two sliding sleeves 22 are slidably sleeved on the two guide rods 8. Two supports 23 are fixed on the crossbar 21, and a diagonal brace 24 is fixed on the side of the two supports 23 facing away from the diagonal brace plate 7. A threaded rod 42 passes through the crossbar 21 laterally and is threadedly connected to the crossbar 21. The motor 41 drives the threaded rod 42 to rotate. The threaded action between the threaded rod 42 and the crossbar 21, along with the sliding sleeves 22 under the guidance of the guide rods 8, enables the crossbar 21 to move laterally.

[0028] Furthermore, the base 3 is hinged to the support 23, and a torsion spring is engaged at the hinge. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the base 3 abuts against the diagonal brace 24. The bottom of the base 3 near the diagonal brace 7 has an inclined surface 31. The base 3 is connected to the support 23 via a hinge and is equipped with a torsion spring, so that the base 3 remains vertical under normal conditions. When the lateral moving component 2 moves laterally, the inclined surface 31 at the bottom of the base 2 gradually detaches from the support of the diagonal brace 7, the center of gravity of the cylinder shifts, and the base 3 slowly tilts under the elastic force of the torsion spring, realizing the tilted placement of the cylinder. The diagonal brace 7 provides static support for the base 3, ensuring stability in the vertical state. During the tilting process, the inclined surface 31 is designed to reduce frictional resistance, making the tilting action smoother.

[0029] Please see Figure 3The fixing component 6 includes a semi-circular ring 61, which is hinged to the support frame 5. A strap 62 is fixed to each end of the semi-circular ring 61, and the two straps 62 are fixed together by a buckle 63. The semi-circular ring 61 at the top of the support frame 5 can wrap around the upper part of the cylinder and be quickly fixed by the straps 62 and the buckle 63 to form a top constraint and prevent the top from shaking during transportation. The base 3 directly contacts the bottom of the cylinder and, together with the top fixing, forms a two-point fixing, which improves the overall stability and is especially suitable for tilted transportation scenarios.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the bottom of the special gas cylinder is placed on the base 3, and the middle part of the special gas cylinder rests against the inner side of the semi-circular ring 61. The motor 41 drives the threaded rod 42 to rotate. The threaded rod 42 and the crossbar 21 are interacting with each other. At the same time, the sliding sleeve 22 is guided by the guide rod 8, which allows the crossbar 21 to move laterally. This causes the inclined surface 31 at the bottom of the base 3 to gradually detach from the support of the inclined support plate 7. The center of gravity of the special gas cylinder is biased to one side of the inclined support plate 7, which causes the base 3 to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring and rotate. The special gas cylinder slowly rotates in the direction of the inclined support plate 7 until the crossbar 21 slides to the limit position. Then, the straps 62 at both ends of the semi-circular ring 61 are fixed by the buckles 63, so that the special gas cylinder can be kept stable and can be transported in an inclined state.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
