[0002] Hydrogen energy, as a clean and efficient secondary energy source, has received significant attention and extensive research. Hydrogen storage and transportation is a crucial link in the hydrogen energy industry chain. Improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of hydrogen storage and transportation are key development areas for hydrogen storage and transportation technologies. Currently, there are three main practical hydrogen storage methods: high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage tanks, and solid-state hydrogen storage based on hydrogen storage materials. Solid-state hydrogen storage technology utilizes the reaction between hydrogen and storage materials to store hydrogen. Compared with other hydrogen storage methods, solid-state hydrogen storage technology has advantages such as high hydrogen storage density, low pressure, good safety, and high hydrogen purity, making it an important direction for the development of hydrogen storage technology.

[0003] Hydrogen storage tank anti-tipping devices usually need to be transported separately and by forklift. However, since hydrogen tanks are cylindrical, when transporting hydrogen storage tank anti-tipping devices placed directly on a forklift, the forklift needs to move slowly. Even when the forklift is moving slowly, the hydrogen storage tank anti-tipping device is still unstable, which may result in the hydrogen storage tank anti-tipping device falling off.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an anti-tipping device for hydrogen storage tanks used for solid hydrogen storage to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides an anti-tipping device for a hydrogen storage tank used for solid hydrogen storage, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the anti-tipping device for the solid hydrogen storage tank includes a base 1 and a hydrogen storage tank body 2. The hydrogen storage tank body 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1. Multiple sets of support columns 3 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 1 by bolts. Support rings 4 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the multiple sets of support columns 3. Multiple sets of ball shafts 5 are movably installed in the support rings 4. Support rods 6 are movably inserted into each of the multiple sets of ball shafts 5. Adjustment components are provided on the upper ends of the multiple sets of support rods 6. Clamping components for fixing the hydrogen storage tank body 2 are provided in the support rings 4.

[0023] In use, the adjustment component drives multiple sets of support rods 6 to slide downwards and expand within multiple sets of ball shafts 5, and the adjustment component limits their movement, thereby achieving flexible support for the hydrogen storage tank body 2. This effectively prevents the hydrogen storage tank body 2 from tipping over during transportation, greatly reducing the risk of the hydrogen storage tank falling and ensuring the safety of hydrogen energy storage and transportation. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the hydrogen storage tank body 2, the clamping component can adapt to hydrogen storage tank bodies 2 of different sizes and weights for clamping and fixing, improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0024] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment disc 7, which is mounted on the upper end of multiple sets of support rods 6. The upper ends of the multiple sets of support rods 6 are hinged to the adjustment disc 7. Multiple sets of gears 8 are rotatably installed inside the adjustment disc 7. A gear ring 9 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the adjustment disc 7. The multiple sets of gears 8 mesh with the inner wall of the gear ring 9. A first screw 10 is fixedly installed on the lower side of each of the multiple sets of gears 8. The multiple sets of first screws 10 are threaded into multiple sets of support columns 3. A slider 11 is bolted to the lower end of each of the multiple sets of support rods 6. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 12 are opened on the upper side of the base 1. The multiple sets of sliders 11 are movably inserted into the multiple sets of sliding grooves 12.

[0025] When support is needed for the main body 2 of the hydrogen storage tank, rotating the gear ring 9 drives multiple sets of gears 8 to rotate within the adjusting disc 7. As the gears 8 rotate, they push multiple sets of first screws 10 downward through threads within multiple sets of support columns 3. Simultaneously, the downward sliding of the first screws 10 drives multiple sets of support rods 6 to slide downward and expand within multiple sets of ball shafts 5. The first screws 10 are also limited within the support columns 3 by threads. At the same time, the support rods 6 drive multiple sets of sliders 11 to slide downward within multiple sets of sliding grooves 12. The sliders 11 slide on multiple sets of second limiting rods 13, thereby limiting the support rods 6 and thus supporting the main body 2 of the hydrogen storage tank.

[0026] Each of the multiple sets of sliding grooves 12 is fixedly installed with a second limiting rod 13, and multiple sets of sliders 11 are movably sleeved on the multiple sets of second limiting rods 13.

[0027] The multiple sets of second limit rods 13 not only improve the stability of the slider 11 sliding, but also further enhance the overall structural strength of the device.

[0028] Two sets of grooves 14 are provided on the lower side of the base 1, and the inner walls of the two sets of grooves 14 are provided with anti-slip texture.

[0029] The two sets of support rings 4 facilitate the forklift to lift the base 1 by inserting them into the base. The anti-slip texture effectively increases the friction between the forklift and the base 1, preventing the base 1 from slipping during transportation and further ensuring the safety of hydrogen storage and transportation.

[0030] The clamping assembly includes multiple sets of second screws 15, which are threaded into the support ring 4. Each set of second screws 15 has a clamping plate 16 movably mounted on one end of each set of second screws 15. Each set of clamping plates 16 has two sets of guide rods 17 fixedly mounted on one side of the side of the clamping plates 16 closest to the inner wall of the support ring 4. The two sets of guide rods 17 mounted on the clamping plates 16 are movably inserted into the support ring 4.

[0031] When it is necessary to clamp and fix hydrogen storage tank bodies 2 of different sizes, the multiple sets of second screws 15 are rotated. The multiple sets of second screws 15 rotate within the support ring 4 through the threads, while driving the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 to move towards or away from each other. As the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 move, they drive the multiple sets of guide rods 17 to slide within the support ring 4 until the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 clamp and fix the hydrogen storage tank body 2. At this time, the anti-slip pads provided on the opposite side surface of the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 increase the friction between them and the hydrogen storage tank body 2, further improving the stability of clamping and fixing.

[0032] The opposing surfaces of the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 are all curved, and anti-slip pads are glued to the opposing surfaces of the multiple sets of clamping plates 16.

[0033] During use, the arc-shaped clamping plate 16 can better fit the outer wall of the hydrogen storage tank body 2, improving the tightness and stability of the clamping. The use of anti-slip pads further enhances the friction, effectively preventing the hydrogen storage tank body 2 from loosening or slipping due to bumps during transportation.

[0034] Working principle: The hydrogen storage tank body 2 is placed on the base 1. Then, the support rings 4 at the upper ends of the multiple sets of support columns 3 and the adjusting discs 7 at the upper ends of the multiple sets of support rods 6 are fitted onto the hydrogen storage tank body 2. The lower ends of the multiple sets of support columns 3 are then fixedly connected to the base 1 with bolts, and the lower ends of the multiple sets of support rods 6 are rotatably connected to the multiple sets of sliders 11 with bolts. By rotating the gear ring 9 in the adjusting assembly, the multiple sets of gears 8 meshing with it are driven to rotate inside the adjusting disc 7, thereby pushing the multiple sets of first screws 10 to move vertically in the multiple sets of support columns 3, and simultaneously driving the multiple sets of support rods 6 to move in the multiple sets of ball joints. The downward movement and unfolding within axis 5 ultimately achieve multi-point support for the main body 2 of the hydrogen storage tank. At the same time, the threaded limit of multiple sets of first screws 10 within the support column 3 ensures the stability of the support structure. Meanwhile, the sliding of sliders 11 connected to the lower ends of multiple sets of support rods 6 by bolts within multiple sets of sliding grooves 12, combined with the guiding effect of multiple sets of second limit rods 13, allows the operator to adjust the distance between multiple sets of clamping plates 16 by rotating multiple sets of second screws 15 according to the specific dimensions of the main body 2 of the hydrogen storage tank, until the multiple sets of clamping plates 16 are tightly fitted and fixed to the main body 2 of the hydrogen storage tank.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
