Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial gas cylinder storage, and in particular to a gas cylinder storage rack that is easy to transport. Background Technology
[0002] Compressed gases are widely used in industrial production processes, such as welding, cutting, chemical reactions, and driving pneumatic equipment, all of which rely on various high-pressure gas tanks to provide a stable gas supply.
[0003] In related technologies, several gas cylinders are usually placed directly in the production workshop or industrial environment, and their handling operations generally rely on manual handling.
[0004] However, this method has the following drawbacks: the gas cylinders are stored in a relatively scattered manner, and when the gas cylinders need to be moved, each gas cylinder needs to be moved manually multiple times, which is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a gas cylinder storage rack that facilitates transportation.
[0006] The gas cylinder storage rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A transportable gas cylinder storage rack includes a metal frame, a metal door, and rollers. The metal frame consists of a first frame, a connecting frame, and a second frame. The first frame, the connecting frame, and the second frame are fixedly connected to form an integral hollow structure. The upper surface of the second frame is used to support the gas cylinder. The connecting frame restricts the horizontal displacement of the gas cylinder. An inlet / outlet for the gas cylinder to enter is provided on one side of the connecting frame. The metal door is provided on the connecting frame and closes the inlet / outlet.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal frame, through the first frame, the connecting frame restricting horizontal displacement, and the upper surface of the second frame carrying the gas tanks, centrally stores the dispersed gas tanks inside the metal frame, reducing the number of gas tanks scattered on the workshop floor or in different locations. Multiple gas tanks can be moved manually, improving efficiency. The inlet and outlet design on one side of the connecting frame, together with the metal door, realizes the centralized entry and exit of gas tanks into and out of the metal frame.
[0009] Preferably, the first frame includes an upper frame and a cross beam, the upper frame is fixed to the top of the connecting frame, and the end of the cross beam is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper frame.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross beam, through its fixed connection with the upper frame, improves the overall strength of the structure, reduces local deformation, and thus enhances the overall stability of the structure.
[0011] Preferably, the cross beam has symmetrical hanging plates at the left and right edges facing the upper frame, the hanging plates are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cross beam, and the openings of the hanging plates face the left and right sides of the upper frame.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when several gas cylinders are placed, the gas valve of each gas cylinder is connected to a main pipe. The main pipe can be placed on the inner wall of the mounting plate to realize the centralized connection between the gas valves of several gas cylinders and the main pipe. The main valve of the main pipe enables unified control of the gas supply and can be quickly cut off in case of emergency.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting frame includes uprights, horizontal beams, metal plates, and crossbars. The upper and lower ends of the uprights are vertically fixed to the lower surface of the upper frame and the upper surface of the second frame. Several uprights are provided. The horizontal beams are connected between two adjacent uprights. The crossbars are laid between two opposite horizontal beams. The two sides of the metal plates are fixedly connected to the adjacent uprights and are located on the lower side of the uprights.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower ends of the column are vertically fixed to the upper frame and the second frame to form a stable vertical support. The horizontal beam and metal plate are fixedly connected to the column, which limits the horizontal movement of the gas cylinder and reduces the horizontal slippage or tipping of the gas cylinder. The crossbar is placed between the opposite horizontal beams, and the lower surface of the crossbar directly abuts the upper surface of the gas cylinder, which limits the vertical displacement of the gas cylinder through physical limiting.
[0015] Preferably, one side of the metal door is hinged to one of the columns, the metal door is provided with a latch and a bolt, and a fixed seat is provided on the column near the movable end of the metal door, and the metal door is locked and engaged with the fixed seat by the latch and the bolt.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal door is hinged to the column and locked with the fixed seat through the latch and pin, which prevents the gas tank from moving laterally to one side of the metal door, reducing the safety hazards caused by the gas tank sliding out or tipping over due to external force or during transportation.
[0017] Preferably, the second frame includes a lower frame and a support frame, the support frame is fixed to the inner wall of the lower frame, the support frame is a hollow I-beam structure, and a rubber pad is provided on the upper surface of the support frame.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic force of the rubber pad can buffer the impact force when the gas tank is placed or moved through the elastic deformation of the rubber pad. The hollow I-beam structure enables the gas tank to resist deformation in the vertical direction when placed on the support frame, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity.
[0019] Preferably, the upper surface of the support frame is provided with a positioning post, the rubber pad is provided with a positioning hole, the rubber pad is placed on the support frame, and the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion and engagement of the positioning column and the positioning hole can quickly fix the rubber pad in the designated position of the support frame, reducing the offset of the rubber pad.
[0021] Preferably, the bottom of the second frame is provided with casters, which are omnidirectional casters.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the rolling friction of the casters is much smaller than that of the sliding friction. Only a small amount of thrust is needed to move the support frame containing the gas canisters, and users can easily push the gas canister storage rack.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The hollow structure formed by the first frame, connecting frame and second frame, and the entrance and exit with metal doors, realize centralized storage and convenient access, replacing scattered placement. Multiple gas cylinders can be moved manually, which improves efficiency.
[0025] 2. The load-bearing capacity is enhanced by the hollow I-beam structure of the support frame, which improves the vertical deformation resistance. At the same time, rubber pads are set on the upper surface to buffer the impact force when the gas tank is placed or moved by elastic deformation, thus achieving the dual functions of shock absorption and placement stability.
[0026] 3. By installing casters at the bottom of the lower frame, the gas cylinder storage rack that holds multiple gas cylinders can be easily pushed, reducing the risk of tipping or collision caused by improper operation when manually handling gas cylinders. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0031] This application discloses a gas cylinder storage rack that facilitates transportation. (See also...) Figure 1 A gas cylinder storage rack that is easy to transport includes a metal frame and a metal door 4. The metal frame consists of a first frame 1, a connecting frame 2 and a second frame 3. The first frame 1, the connecting frame 2 and the second frame 3 are fixedly connected to form an integral hollow structure. An inlet and outlet for gas cylinders to enter are opened on one side of the connecting frame 2. The metal door 4 is set on the connecting frame 2 and closes the inlet and outlet.
[0032] Correspondingly, the metal frame restricts horizontal displacement through the first frame 1 and the connecting frame 2, and the upper surface of the second frame 3 carries the gas cylinders, thus centrally storing the dispersed gas cylinders inside the metal frame. This reduces the number of gas cylinders scattered on the workshop floor or in different locations. Multiple gas cylinders can be moved manually, improving efficiency. The inlet and outlet design on one side of the connecting frame 2, together with the metal door 4, enables the centralized entry and exit of gas cylinders into and out of the metal frame.
[0033] Specifically, the second frame 3 includes a lower frame 31 and a support frame 32. The support frame 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the lower frame 31 and has a hollow I-beam structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the lower frame 31 is composed of several rectangular metal rods, which are spliced together and welded together to form a three-dimensional hollow structure. The supporting frame 32 is composed of two sets of hollow I-beam structures, which are symmetrically arranged inside the lower frame 31.
[0035] The hollowed-out I-beam structure includes two longitudinal main rods 321 of equal length and two transverse connecting rods 322 of equal length. The length of the two longitudinal main rods 321 is the same as the length of the rectangular metal rod of the lower frame 31. The two ends of the two longitudinal main rods 321 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two opposite rectangular metal rods. The distance between the two longitudinal main rods 321 is equal to the length of the transverse connecting rods 322. The two ends of the transverse connecting rods 322 are symmetrically fixed to the corresponding side walls of the two longitudinal main rods 321. The hollowed-out I-beam structure enables the gas tank to resist deformation in the vertical direction when placed on the support frame 32, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 In addition, a rubber pad 33 is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 32, and the size and structure of the rubber pad 33 match the size and structure of the support frame 32.
[0037] Specifically, there are two rubber pads 33. The size and structure of the rubber pads 33 match the size and structure of the hollow I-beam structure. Positioning posts 323 are set at both ends of the two longitudinal main rods 321. The rubber pads 33 are set with positioning holes 331 that match the number of positioning posts 323. The positions of the positioning posts 323 and the positions of the positioning holes 331 are matched one by one. The insertion and engagement of the positioning posts 323 and the positioning holes 331 can quickly fix the rubber pads 33 in the designated positions of the support frame 32, reducing the offset of the rubber pads 33.
[0038] This demonstrates that when several gas cylinders are placed inside the gas cylinder storage rack, the elastic force of the rubber pad 33 can buffer the impact force when the gas cylinders are placed or moved through the elastic deformation of the rubber pad 33.
[0039] In addition, rollers 6 are installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the lower frame 31. The rollers 6 roll in cooperation with the ground. In this embodiment, the rollers 6 are set as universal wheels. The rolling friction of the universal wheels is much smaller than the sliding friction. Only a small pushing force is needed to move the support frame 32 on which the gas canister is placed. Users can easily push the gas canister storage rack.
[0040] On the other hand, the connecting frame 2 includes uprights 21, horizontal beams 22, metal plates 23, and crossbars 24. Specifically, there are four uprights 21, which are rectangular metal rods of equal length. The four uprights 21 are vertically fixed to the upper surfaces of the four corners of the lower frame 31, and the outer walls of the uprights 21 are flush with the outer walls of the lower frame 31.
[0041] Furthermore, there are six horizontal beams 22, with each end of the horizontal beam 22 fixedly connected to two opposite columns 21. Three horizontal beams 22 are fixedly connected to the side closer to the first frame 1, and the other three horizontal beams 22 are fixedly connected to the side closer to the second frame 3. The three upper horizontal beams 22 and the three lower horizontal beams 22 are parallel to each other to form a parallel arrangement of upper and lower layers.
[0042] Correspondingly, two horizontal beams 22 on the side closest to the first frame 1 are each provided with two bolt shaft holes 25. The two bolt shaft holes 25 are evenly fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two horizontal beams 22, and the horizontal positions of the bolt shaft holes 25 on the two horizontal beams 22 are matched. Bolt rods are threadedly connected to the bolt shaft holes 25. There are two crossbars 24, and threaded holes are provided at both ends of the crossbars 24. The horizontal positions of the threaded holes are matched, and the distance between the two threaded holes is equal to the distance between the two bolt shaft holes 25. The bolt rods are threadedly engaged with the threaded holes and the bolt shaft holes 25 respectively.
[0043] This illustrates that when several gas cylinders are arranged side by side and closely, the crossbar 24 is screwed between the corresponding horizontal beams 22 through the threaded hole on the crossbar 24 and the bolt rod. The lower surface of the crossbar 24 directly abuts against the upper surface of the gas cylinder, which limits the vertical movement of the gas cylinder by physical limiting.
[0044] In addition, there are two metal plates 23. The two metal plates 23 are fixed to each other on both sides of the bolt shaft hole 25, located between the upper horizontal beam 22 and the lower horizontal beam 22. The metal plate 23 is fixed to the side close to the upper horizontal beam 22, and the side wall of the metal plate 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upright.
[0045] To further explain, the horizontal beam 22 and the metal plate 23 are fixedly connected to the column 21, which limits the horizontal movement of the gas tank and reduces the possibility of the gas tank sliding or tipping over in the horizontal direction.
[0046] Correspondingly, the metal door 4 is installed on one of the pillars 21 near the entrance and exit, and one side of the metal door 4 is hinged to the pillar 21.
[0047] Furthermore, the metal door 4 is equipped with a latch 41 and a bolt 42. A fixed seat 5 is provided on the column 21 near the movable end of the metal door 4. The latch 41 can extend and retract at the edge of the metal door 4, while the bolt 42 is fixedly connected to the metal door 4. The bolt 42 is provided with a corresponding locking structure for the latch 41. The fixed seat 5 and the latch 41 are engaged to lock and engage.
[0048] This demonstrates that when the gas cylinder storage rack moves, it prevents the gas cylinders from moving laterally toward the metal door 4, reducing the safety hazards caused by the gas cylinders sliding out or tipping over due to external forces or during transportation.
[0049] In addition, the first frame 1 includes an upper frame 11 and a cross beam 12. The end of the cross beam 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper frame 11. The cross beam 12 is formed by two mutually perpendicular main beams that are fixedly connected at the center. The outline dimensions of the upper frame 11 match the outline dimensions of the lower frame 31. The top of the column 21 is fixed to the bottom of the upper frame 11. The four columns 21 are correspondingly set at the four corners of the upper frame 11. The outer wall of the column 21 is flush with the outer wall of the upper frame 11. The cross beam 12, through its fixed connection with the upper frame 11, improves the overall strength of the structure, reduces local deformation, and thus enhances the overall stability of the structure.
[0050] Furthermore, two hanging plates 13 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the cross beam 12 near the top of the upper frame 11. Each hanging plate 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cross beam 12. The hanging plate 13 has a U-shaped plate structure, and the opening direction of the hanging plate 13 is strictly parallel to the left and right sides of the upper frame 11, forming an outwardly cantilevered shape.
[0051] This illustrates that when several gas cylinders are placed, the gas valve of each gas cylinder is connected to a main pipe. Through the guide of the opening, the main pipe can be placed and supported on the inner wall of the hanging plate 13, realizing the centralized connection between the gas valves of several gas cylinders and the main pipe. The main valve of the main pipe enables unified control of the gas supply, and can be quickly cut off in case of emergency.
[0052] The implementation principle of the gas cylinder storage rack that facilitates transportation according to the embodiments of this application is as follows:
[0053] This application discloses a gas cylinder storage rack that is easy to transport, which includes a metal frame and a metal door. The metal frame includes a first frame, a connecting frame, and a second frame. The first frame, the connecting frame, and the second frame are fixedly connected to form an integral hollow structure. An inlet and outlet for gas cylinders to enter are opened on one side of the connecting frame. The metal door is set on the connecting frame and closes the inlet and outlet.
[0054] The first frame, connecting the frame to restrict horizontal displacement, and the upper surface of the second frame to carry the gas cylinders, centrally store the scattered gas cylinders inside the metal frame. This reduces the number of gas cylinders scattered on the workshop floor or in different locations. Multiple gas cylinders can be moved manually, improving efficiency. The inlet and outlet design on one side of the connecting frame, combined with the metal door, realizes the centralized entry and exit of gas cylinders.
[0055] The first frame is located at the top and includes an upper frame and a cross beam. The ends of the cross beam are fixed to the inner wall of the upper frame. The U-shaped hanging plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cross beam have openings facing outwards and are used to fix the main pipe, realizing centralized connection between multiple gas cylinder valves and the main pipe. The gas supply is controlled uniformly through the main valve and can be quickly cut off in an emergency.
[0056] The connecting frame serves as the core support and limiting structure, comprising four uprights, six horizontal beams, metal plates, and crossbars. The outer walls of the uprights are flush with the outer walls of the upper frame. The four corner uprights are vertically fixed between the upper frame and the second frame. The outer walls of the uprights are flush with the outer walls of the upper frame and the second frame. The horizontal beams are divided into upper and lower layers, with the two ends of the horizontal beams fixed to the opposite side walls of the uprights. The metal plates are fixed between the upper horizontal beams and the uprights, reducing the occurrence of horizontal slippage of the gas tank. The crossbars are erected between the opposite horizontal beams through the cooperation of bolts and bolt shaft holes. The lower surface of the crossbars directly contacts the top of the gas tank, forming a vertical limit on the gas tank.
[0057] The second frame consists of a lower frame and a support frame, which is a hollow three-dimensional structure welded from several rectangular metal rods. The support frame consists of two sets of hollow I-beam structures arranged symmetrically. Each set of I-beam structures includes two longitudinal main rods and a transverse connecting rod. The two ends of the longitudinal main rods are fixed to the inner wall of the lower frame, and the two ends of the transverse connecting rods are fixed to the longitudinal main rods, forming a deformation-resistant vertical support structure. The upper surface of the support frame is equipped with rubber pads, which are fixed by the insertion of the positioning pins of the support frame into the positioning holes of the rubber pads, reducing the offset of the rubber pads and buffering the impact force. Rollers are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the lower frame. The rollers are set as universal wheels, which reduce the movement resistance by using the rolling friction of the universal wheels, so that a single person can easily push the gas canister storage rack.
[0058] Meanwhile, a metal door is installed on one of the pillars near the entrance and exit. One side of the metal door is hinged to the pillar. The metal door is equipped with a latch and a bolt. A fixed seat is installed on the pillar near the movable end of the metal door. The fixed seat and the latch are engaged to lock and engage. When the gas tank storage rack moves, it prevents the gas tank from moving laterally to one side of the metal door, reducing the safety hazards caused by the gas tank sliding out or tipping over due to external force or during transportation.
[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
