Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of onboard natural gas technology for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a large-capacity onboard natural gas cylinder frame assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The onboard natural gas cylinder frame assembly is a key safety component of natural gas vehicles, primarily used to secure and protect high-pressure cylinders, ensuring their stability and safety during vehicle operation, collisions, or extreme environments. While existing technology is relatively mature, it still exhibits several limitations, mainly including limited capacity, poor stability, and poor adaptability.

[0003] 1) Limited Capacity: Current onboard natural gas cylinder frame assemblies are significantly limited in capacity. Due to limited vehicle space, the volume and capacity of the cylinders are often strictly limited, which to some extent affects the vehicle's range and efficiency. Although some designs have adopted innovative solutions such as dual-cylinder structures, overall, they still cannot meet the demands of long-distance transportation or high-energy consumption.

[0004] 2) Poor stability: The stability of the vehicle-mounted natural gas cylinder frame assembly is also a significant defect in the existing technology. The structural design of the frame assembly often has shortcomings, such as uneven distribution of support points, insufficient overall strength and stiffness, which makes it easy to be affected by external forces during driving and cause deformation or displacement.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology for on-board natural gas cylinder frame assemblies has many shortcomings in terms of capacity and stability. To address these issues, improvements are urgently needed to meet the specific requirements of different vehicles and applications. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-capacity vehicle-mounted natural gas cylinder frame assembly that can meet capacity requirements while improving frame stability.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A large-capacity vehicle-mounted natural gas cylinder frame assembly includes a frame body with a control panel mounting base on its side. The frame body has multiple cylinder mounting frames arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Each cylinder mounting frame includes a support base with a mounting base conforming to the curvature of the cylinder. The outer side of the support base is fixedly connected to a column of the frame body, and the inner side of the support base connects adjacent support bases to form a grid-like structural space via connecting plates.

[0009] Improvement to the above technical solution: The gas cylinder placement frame is arranged alternately from top to bottom within the frame body. The inner sides of the support bases of adjacent frame bodies are fixedly connected together by inclined connecting plates. The alternately arranged gas cylinder placement frames form a pentagonal grid structure.

[0010] Further improvements to the above technical solution: The mounting base is provided with a gas cylinder clamp bracket, the gas cylinder clamp bracket is fitted with the curvature of the mounting base, the upper surface of the mounting base is provided with multiple slots, and the bottom surface of the gas cylinder clamp bracket is provided with a fixing block corresponding to the slot.

[0011] A further improvement to the above technical solution: the mounting base is provided with multiple openings, the gas cylinder is placed on the mounting base, and the gas cylinder clamp is adjusted and fixed through the openings on the mounting base.

[0012] A further improvement to the above technical solution: support rod one and support rod two are respectively provided between the uppermost gas cylinder placement frame and the lowermost gas cylinder placement frame and the top and bottom crossbeams of the frame body. Beneficial effects

[0013] The large-capacity vehicle-mounted natural gas cylinder frame assembly described in this utility model can realize a grid structure for placing gas cylinders. This design significantly enhances the stability of the overall structure and improves space utilization.

[0014] The frame assembly employs an interlaced pentagonal grid structure. This staggered arrangement of the gas cylinder mounting frames, along with inclined connecting plates forming the pentagonal structure, gives the overall frame hexagonal-like mechanical properties. Compared to traditional parallel frames, this structure increases torsional stiffness and lateral load-bearing capacity by over 30%, while reducing structural weight by approximately 15%, achieving a perfect combination of lightweight and high strength. Therefore, this structure not only enhances overall structural strength but also effectively improves space utilization and significantly reduces the risk of displacement during use. Furthermore, the opening design on the frame makes adjusting the clamps very convenient, accommodating gas cylinders of various sizes; the support rod design further enhances the overall load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for meeting the needs of large-capacity gas cylinders.

[0015] This invention ensures the stable placement of the gas cylinder within the frame. The structural design of the main frame fully considers the dynamic characteristics of vehicle movement, and through a reasonable distribution of forces, effectively reduces the swaying of the gas cylinder during operation, thus improving placement stability.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
