Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container technology, specifically to a tubular container for transporting hydrogen. Background Technology
[0002] As an important piece of equipment for transporting hydrogen, tubular containers typically have multiple storage tanks installed inside to meet the needs of bulk hydrogen transportation.
[0003] However, the internal structure of existing tubular containers is fixed and cannot be adapted to hydrogen storage tanks of different lengths according to actual transportation needs. This results in significant limitations in their use and makes it difficult to flexibly cope with diverse transportation scenarios.
[0004] A search revealed that relevant prior art discloses a structure for adjusting the distance between two support frames by cooperating with a first connector and a second connector, specifically using alignment holes on the connectors for positioning. However, this positioning method is a staged adjustment, only allowing for segmented adjustment of the distance, and cannot achieve stepless adjustment (i.e., arbitrary adjustment). Its adjustment flexibility is poor, and its limitations remain significant. Furthermore, the adjustment operation of this structure needs to be performed inside the container, making the process inconvenient and affecting adjustment efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tubular container for transporting hydrogen, which can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to gas storage tanks of different lengths and is easy to operate.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tubular container for transporting hydrogen, comprising a container body, wherein the container body has a hollow inner cavity, and support frames are provided on both sides of the inner cavity. The support frames have mounting slots for placing gas storage tanks, and each mounting slot is correspondingly provided with a clamp for fixing the gas storage tank. The clamp is installed on the support frame. A lead screw is rotatably mounted on the outside of the container body, and each support frame is provided with a connecting block. A through slot is provided on the wall of the container body for the connecting block to pass through. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the connecting block. The distance between the two support frames can be adjusted by rotating the lead screw to accommodate gas storage tanks of different lengths.
[0009] Furthermore, the lead screw is installed at the bottom of the outer side of the housing body, and a support base is provided at the bottom of the housing body, with an installation cavity for installing the lead screw inside the support base.
[0010] Furthermore, an installation block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box body, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the installation block, and a screwing block for rotating the lead screw is provided on the lead screw.
[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with bolts that pass through the clamps, and nuts are threaded onto the bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, a support leg is fixedly installed on the support frame, and the bottom end of the support leg is in close contact with the inner wall of the box body.
[0013] Furthermore, the lead screw is a bidirectional lead screw.
[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a tubular container for transporting hydrogen, which has the following advantages:
[0016] This tubular container for transporting hydrogen utilizes a screw-driven mechanism connected to a connecting block on the support frame. Rotating the screw drives the relative movement of the two support frames, enabling stepless adjustment of the support frame spacing. This allows for flexible adaptation to gas tanks of varying lengths, significantly improving the versatility and applicability of the container structure. Furthermore, the screw is located externally to the container body, allowing adjustments to be made simply by rotating it from the outside, eliminating the need to penetrate the container's interior. This simplifies the adjustment process and enhances operational convenience and efficiency. Attached Figure Description
