Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas storage equipment technology, and in particular to a modular gas storage device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of industrial field operations, portable gas filling equipment, and emergency gas supply systems, higher demands are being placed on gas storage devices in terms of capacity configuration, flexible deployment, and ease of handling. Existing gas storage equipment is typically a fixed, single-unit structure, with its storage capacity determined during the design and manufacturing phase, making it difficult to dynamically expand based on actual gas consumption during use. Furthermore, most traditional gas storage devices are large in size, inconvenient to transport, and lack efficient modular connection mechanisms, hindering flexible on-site deployment and combined use.

[0003] In applications requiring large-capacity gas supply, users often need to connect multiple gas storage cylinders in parallel. However, due to the complexity of existing connection methods, unstable sealing, and dispersed equipment layout, installation efficiency is often low, gas flow is obstructed, or safety hazards exist.

The chain connection guide structure is used to guide and cooperate with the splicing structures during lateral introduction, and the quick-connect assembly is used to achieve rapid connection and cooperate with the limiting spring assembly for locking and fixing; the head module is provided with a gas supply interface for supplying gas to the gas storage modules; the gas storage module includes a gas storage tank and a first-direction quick-connect pipe and a second-direction quick-connect pipe disposed on the gas storage tank; starting from the first gas storage module closest to the head module, the first-direction quick-connect pipe of each gas storage module is connected to the second-direction quick-connect pipe of the next gas storage module through a gas delivery pipe, forming a gas transmission channel for multiple gas storage modules.

[0007] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the top of the splicing structure for carrying the structural modules and gas storage modules inside the splicing structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the splicing structure is equipped with foot pads to support the splicing structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the chain-connecting guide rail structure includes guide rail grooves and guide rail protrusions, which are respectively set on two adjacent splicing structures to achieve sliding fit positioning during the splicing process.

[0010] Furthermore, the splicing structure is provided with positioning grooves or bosses to enhance the mechanical limiting and anti-displacement capabilities of adjacent splicing structures during the docking process.

[0011] Furthermore, the splicing structure is a detachable structure, consisting of multiple detachable and connectable shell components.

[0012] Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly is a pneumatic quick-plug connector.

[0013] Furthermore, the gas supply interface is connected to the first direction quick-connect fitting via a hose.

[0014] The aforementioned modular gas storage device, through its splicing structure and modular unit design, allows for flexible increases or decreases in the number of gas storage modules to adjust the overall gas storage capacity, adapting to gas demand in different scenarios and significantly improving the system's adaptability and scalability.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a modular gas storage device, including: a head module 1, several gas storage modules 2 and several splicing structures 3.

[0019] Specifically, the splicing structure 3 is square in shape, and the head module 1 and the gas storage module 2 are respectively installed inside the splicing structure 3. Any two adjacent splicing structures 3 are provided with a paired chain connection guide structure 4, a limiting spring assembly 5, and a quick-connect assembly 6. The chain connection guide structure 4 is used to guide and cooperate with the splicing structure 3 during the lateral introduction process. The quick-connect assembly 6 is used to realize quick connection and cooperate with the limiting spring assembly 5 for locking and fixing. The head module 1 is provided with a gas supply interface 11 for supplying gas to the gas storage module 2. The gas storage module 2 includes a gas storage tank and a first direction quick-connect pipe 21 and a second direction quick-connect pipe 22 set on the gas storage tank. Starting from the first gas storage module 2 closest to the head module 1, the first direction quick-connect pipe 21 of each gas storage module 2 is connected to the second direction quick-connect pipe 22 of the next gas storage module 2 through a gas supply pipe, forming a gas transmission channel for multiple gas storage modules 2.

[0020] In the above configuration, the splicing structure 3 enables standardized installation of the head unit module 1 and the gas storage module 2, improving the flexibility of module replacement and arrangement. The chain-connecting guide rail structure 4 significantly improves stability and docking accuracy during the splicing process, effectively preventing module misalignment or damage. The combination of the quick-connect component 6 and the limiting spring component 5 not only facilitates quick assembly and disassembly but also enhances the robustness of the connection. The modularly connected gas storage tanks form an efficient and expandable gas channel, improving the overall system's gas storage capacity and operating efficiency. The entire device is easy to maintain, transport, and assemble on-site, meeting gas storage needs in various scenarios.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the splicing structure 3 is equipped with a handle for moving the structural modules and gas storage module 2 within the splicing structure 3. This allows a single person to complete the module-level assembly, disassembly, and deployment, improving on-site construction efficiency. The handle can be designed as a foldable, detachable, or concealed structure to adapt to confined spaces or enhance the module's aesthetics. The handle material can be selected from aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, or rubber-coated metal, depending on the required handling strength. In some scenarios, the handle can also be configured on the side or bottom for easy use with handling equipment.

[0022] The bottom of the splicing structure 3 is equipped with foot pads to support it. This effectively improves the stability of the gas storage device when placed, preventing safety hazards caused by uneven ground or slippage. The cushioning performance of the foot pads also extends the service life of the equipment and enhances system reliability.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the chain-connecting guide rail structure 4 includes guide rail grooves and guide rail protrusions, which are respectively set on two adjacent splicing structures 3, achieving sliding fit positioning during the splicing process. This avoids problems such as jamming and offset of modules during splicing, improves assembly accuracy and efficiency, and is especially suitable for rapid on-site assembly operations.

[0024] The splicing structure 3 is provided with positioning grooves or bosses to improve the mechanical limiting and anti-displacement capabilities of adjacent splicing structures 3 during the docking process, thereby improving the docking accuracy and overall mechanical strength of the device modules and preventing misalignment or loosening of the modules due to force or vibration.

[0025] Furthermore, the splicing structure 3 is a detachable structure, consisting of multiple detachable and connected shell components, which enhances the ease of device maintenance and configuration flexibility, supports rapid reconfiguration of different module combinations, and reduces overall maintenance or replacement costs.

[0026] Quick-connect component 6 is a pneumatic quick-plug connector that can quickly connect and disconnect gas lines between modules, improving system installation speed and maintenance efficiency.

[0027] The air supply interface 11 is connected to the first-direction quick-connect fitting 21 via a flexible hose, effectively alleviating the installation difficulties and stress concentration caused by rigid pipes. This structure can also absorb minor vibrations and deformations during device operation, extend the service life of the joint, and improve overall airtightness and system safety.
