[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RV accessory technology, and in particular to a gas cylinder compartment device suitable for RVs that is structurally stable, easy to install, and highly safe. Background Technology
[0002] Existing RV gas cylinder compartment designs generally suffer from problems such as insecure fixing, inconvenient maintenance, and low space utilization. Specifically, during vehicle operation, factors such as road bumps, sudden braking, or turning can cause gas cylinders to shift due to vibrations, and they may even detach due to insecure fixing, leading to serious safety hazards such as gas leaks and fires. Furthermore, the installation and removal of existing gas cylinder compartments typically require complex tools and time-consuming operations, lacking versatility and difficulty adapting to the chassis structures of different RV models, causing considerable inconvenience for users in daily maintenance, gas cylinder replacement, and vehicle modifications.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a RV gas cylinder compartment device that is structurally stable, easy to install, highly safe, and can effectively improve space utilization. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems of complex installation, unstable fixing, and insufficient safety in existing gas cylinder compartments, this utility model provides a RV gas cylinder compartment device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

A pressure reducing valve is provided on the inner wall of the main frame. Two gas cylinder supports are arranged side by side inside the main frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the vehicle frame, and the bottom of the mounting frame is provided with screws, which are threadedly connected to a U-shaped base bracket via nuts;
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the gas cylinder bracket is provided with multiple mounting holes;
[0009] Furthermore, the U-shaped base is provided with multiple mounting holes.
[0010] Beneficial Effects: The U-shaped base and mounting holes at the bottom of the gas cylinder bracket, along with the secure connections of screws and nuts, ensure a stable fixation of the main frame and gas cylinder. This multi-point, robust fixing method effectively suppresses displacement and shaking of the gas cylinder caused by vibration during vehicle operation, significantly reducing safety hazards such as gas leaks due to cylinder detachment or loose connections, thus significantly improving vehicle safety. Through the synergistic effect of the U-shaped base, gas cylinder bracket, and main frame, and the reliable connection of screws and nuts, the entire device forms a stable and compact structure. This multi-point, robust fixing method effectively suppresses displacement and shaking of the gas cylinder caused by vibration during vehicle operation, significantly reducing safety hazards such as gas leaks due to cylinder detachment or loose connections, thus significantly improving vehicle safety. The overall structural design is compact, integrating the pressure reducing valve and gas cylinder bracket inside the main frame, with two gas cylinders arranged side-by-side, effectively utilizing the limited space of the RV. The lightweight design also helps reduce the overall vehicle weight, further improving the RV's fuel economy and handling. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0015] A gas cylinder compartment device for a motorhome includes a main frame and a mounting frame. The main frame is installed inside the mounting frame. A pressure reducing valve is provided on the inner wall of the main frame. Two gas cylinder brackets are arranged side by side inside the main frame. The mounting frame is fixedly installed on the vehicle frame. A screw is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame. The screw is threadedly connected to a U-shaped base through a nut. The bottom of the gas cylinder bracket is provided with multiple mounting holes. The U-shaped base is provided with multiple mounting holes.
[0016] The main frame 1 is typically made of lightweight, high-strength materials (such as aluminum alloy, high-strength steel, or composite materials) and has a box-like structure. Its size and shape should match the installation space reserved in the RV. The internal space of the main frame 1 is designed to accommodate and protect the gas cylinders. A pressure reducing valve 3 is fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the main frame 1. The pressure reducing valve 3 reduces the high-pressure gas output from the gas cylinder to the appropriate pressure required by the RV's gas system and connects it to the gas equipment inside the RV via a pipe (not shown in the diagram). The installation position of the pressure reducing valve 3 should facilitate operation and maintenance, and ensure its secure connection. Two gas cylinder supports 2 are arranged side-by-side inside the main frame 1. Each gas cylinder support 2 is designed as a ring or semi-ring structure, capable of firmly holding the middle of a gas cylinder. Multiple mounting holes 4 are provided at the bottom of the gas cylinder support 2, which are securely fixed to the bottom of the main frame 1 using bolts and nuts. This fixing method ensures that the gas cylinder will not slide or tip over due to vibration during vehicle operation. The mounting frame 5 is typically welded or riveted from high-strength metal profiles (such as steel or aluminum profiles), and its structural strength is sufficient to support the weight of the entire gas cylinder compartment and the gas cylinder, as well as withstand the loads during vehicle operation. The mounting frame 5 is welded and fixedly installed onto the RV's frame 9. Screws are located at the bottom of the mounting frame, extending vertically downwards for connection to the U-shaped base 7. The U-shaped base 7 is typically made of sheet metal bent into a U-shape, and its size and shape match the bottom of the main frame 1. Multiple mounting holes 8 are provided on the bottom and sides of the U-shaped base 7. During installation, the U-shaped base 7 is placed under the main frame 1, and the screws 6 extending from the bottom of the mounting frame 5 are connected with nuts, thus firmly fixing the U-shaped base 7 to the mounting frame 5. Meanwhile, the mounting holes of the U-shaped base 7 can be aligned with the mounting holes at the bottom of the main frame 1 or the bottom of the gas cylinder bracket 2. Using bolts or long screws that penetrate the main frame 1, the gas cylinder, gas cylinder bracket 2, and main frame 1 are securely fixed to the U-shaped base 7 together with the gas cylinder bracket 2, forming a stable whole. This multi-layered fixing and support structure ensures that the gas cylinder remains stable under any driving conditions, effectively preventing displacement and collisions.
[0017] Overall working principle
[0018] During installation, the main frame 1, along with its pre-installed cylinder bracket 2 and pressure reducing valve 3, is first placed into the mounting frame 5. Then, a U-shaped base 7 is placed below the main frame 1, aligning the mounting holes of the U-shaped base 7 with the screws 6 at the bottom of the mounting frame 5, and tightened with nuts to connect and secure the U-shaped base 7 to the mounting frame 5. Finally, bolts passing through the main frame 1 and the cylinder bracket 2 are used to mate with the mounting holes of the U-shaped base 7, firmly connecting the cylinder bracket 2, the main frame 1, and the U-shaped base 7 into a single unit. The cylinder is then placed into the cylinder bracket 2 through the front hatch of the main frame 1 and secured. This progressively secure method allows the entire cylinder compartment to withstand significant vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, ensuring the absolute safety of the cylinder. For maintenance or replacement, the cylinder can be removed simply by opening the locking device of the cylinder bracket 2 through the front hatch. Through the above-mentioned structural design, this utility model not only solves the problem of unstable gas cylinder fixing in the prior art, but also significantly improves the convenience of installation and disassembly, as well as the stability and safety of the overall structure, while realizing the effective utilization of the interior space of the RV.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
