[0025] Example

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model proposes a ring-shaped hanging basket structure, including a gas holder and a retaining ring 1 fitted on top of it. The bottom of the retaining ring 1 has a pair of sliding grooves 11, within which a retaining sleeve 2 is slidably engaged. The retaining sleeve 2 is driven by an internal guide rail mechanism to slide along the sliding grooves 11, causing the abutment 3 and the hanging basket 4 to move circumferentially. The bottom end of the retaining sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the abutment 3, which has multiple ball bearings that closely adhere to the outer wall of the gas holder, allowing the abutment 3 to slide smoothly against the outer wall of the gas holder. The bottom of the abutment 3 has a hanging basket 4, with a working groove on the side of the hanging basket 4 facing the gas holder, ensuring that workers can easily access the outer wall of the gas holder. The hanging basket 4 is installed at the bottom of the abutment 3 to support workers and tools for maintenance work on the outer wall of the gas holder. The suspended platform 4 is also equipped with a basket door 41 connected by hinges. The basket door 41 is connected to the suspended platform 4 by hinges, which facilitates workers to enter and exit the suspended platform 4. It is also equipped with a lock, which is closed when the suspended platform 4 is in operation, so that the basket door 41 cannot be opened during operation.

[0027] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the guide rail mechanism includes a pair of L-shaped locking blocks 21 fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 2 and inserted into corresponding sliding grooves 11. The L-shaped locking blocks 21 are fixed to the top of the sleeve 2 and inserted into the sliding grooves 11, so that the sleeve 2 and the sliding grooves 11 form a sliding connection structure. Each L-shaped locking block 21 has a first rotating groove 22 and a second rotating groove 23. The interior of the first rotating groove 22 and the second rotating groove 23 is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel 24 that is close to the inner wall of the sliding groove 11. The rotating wheel 24 is installed in the first rotating groove 22 and the second rotating groove 23 and rotates close to the inner wall of the sliding groove 11, reducing the sliding resistance of the sleeve 2.

[0028] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 2 has a guide rail mechanism inside that drives the sleeve 2 to slide smoothly along the slide groove 11. The guide rail mechanism also includes a pair of mounting slots 25 at both ends of the sleeve 2. A pair of synchronously switched motors 26 are fixedly connected inside each mounting slot 25. The motors 26 are installed in the mounting slots 25, and their output shafts are connected to rubber wheels 27, driving the rubber wheels 27 to rotate and causing the sleeve 2 to slide along the slide groove 11. The output shafts of the motors 26 are fixedly connected to rubber wheels 27 that are in close contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 11. The rubber wheels 27 are mounted on the output shafts of the motors 26 and are in close contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 11, providing the driving force for the sleeve 2 to slide by rotating.

[0029] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a lifting mechanism for moving the suspended basket 4 up and down is installed inside the cover 3. The lifting mechanism includes a support block 31 fixedly connected inside the cover 3. A dual-axis motor 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 31. The dual-axis motor 32 is mounted on the top of the support block 31, and its output shafts at both ends are connected to take-up and untake-down drums 33, driving the take-up and untake-down drums 33 to rotate. The working principle of the dual-axis motor 32 is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It generates a rotating magnetic field through the stator winding, which drives the rotor and the output shafts at both ends to rotate synchronously, realizing dual-end power output. The output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 32 are fixedly connected to the take-up and untake-down drums 33. The take-up and untake-down drums 33 are mounted on the output shafts of the dual-axis motor 32 and wound with steel wire rope 34. By rotating the take-up and untake-down steel wire rope 34, the height of the suspended basket 4 is adjusted. The end of the take-up and unwinding drum 33 away from the dual-shaft motor 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cover 3. A steel wire rope 34 is wound around the middle of the take-up and unwinding drum 33. The steel wire rope 34 is wound on the take-up and unwinding drum 33, and one end is connected to the hanging rod 42 at the top of the basket 4 for pulling the basket 4 up and down.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a hanging rod 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the suspended platform 4. The hanging rod 42 is fixed to the top of the suspended platform 4 and connected to a wire rope 34 to support the weight of the suspended platform 4 and the working load. The end of the wire rope 34 away from the winding drum 33 passes through the cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the hanging rod 42.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the retaining ring 1 is fixedly connected with multiple reinforcing plates 12 arranged in a circular array. The reinforcing plates 12 are fixed to the inner wall of the retaining ring 1 and connected to the outer wall of the gas holder, enhancing the stability of the retaining ring 1 installation. All reinforcing plates 12 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gas holder.

[0032] In this embodiment, when using the ring-mounted hanging basket structure, the retaining ring 1 is first fitted onto the top of the gas holder and fixed to the outer wall of the gas holder by the reinforcing plate 12 to ensure the stability of the retaining ring 1. Then, the retaining sleeve 2 is engaged into the corresponding sliding groove 11 at the bottom of the retaining ring 1 by a pair of L-shaped retaining blocks 21, and the rotating wheel 24 at the top of the retaining sleeve 2 rotates in the first rotating groove 22 and the second rotating groove 23, closely adhering to the inner wall of the sliding groove 11 to reduce friction. At the same time, the motor 26 in the mounting grooves 25 at both ends of the retaining sleeve 2 drives the rubber wheel 27 to rotate, causing the retaining sleeve 2 to slide smoothly along the sliding groove 11, realizing circumferential movement. Then, the cover 3 is fixed to the bottom end of the retaining sleeve 2, and the dual-axis motor 32 inside drives the winding and unwinding drum 33 to rotate, winding or releasing the wire rope 34, thereby pulling the hanging rod 42 at the top of the hanging basket 4, causing the hanging basket 4 to move up and down and adjust the working height. Workers can enter and exit the suspended basket 4 through the basket door 41. Inside the suspended basket 4, they can perform welding, cleaning, and painting operations on the outer wall of the gas holder. The ball bearing components on the cover 3 are in close contact with the outer wall of the gas holder to ensure stable operation.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
