Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a flip-type gas cylinder operating device, belonging to the field of gas cylinder operating and moving technology. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, it is often necessary to utilize the combustion characteristics of cutting gas flames to react with metals or non-metals, causing workpieces to be separated or fused, thereby achieving industrial application effects. Commonly used cutting gases include acetylene (C2H2), propane (C3H8), sap gas (pure propylene gas, C3H6), Flamex Gas, terylene gas, Gold Flame industrial fuel gas, and enhanced natural gas.

[0003] In industrial practice, cutting gas is mostly stored in gas cylinders. However, these cylinders are heavy and inconvenient to move. Existing technologies often use two-wheeled trolleys to transport the cylinders. For example, patent application number 201620372827.X discloses a mobile device for moving bottled gas at construction sites, which uses a two-wheeled design. While this facilitates cylinder transport to some extent, the trolley requires significant force to balance the weight of the cylinders during operation, and starting and stopping requires slowly finding the balance point. This not only involves high labor intensity but also demands a high level of experience from the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a flip-type gas cylinder operating device. The handle adopts a flip-type structural design, which facilitates the loading and unloading of gas cylinders. The structure is simple, ingenious, and labor-saving. During operation, there is no need to apply a large force to balance the weight of the gas cylinder, and there is no need to find a balance point when starting and stopping. The labor intensity is low, the experience requirement of the operator is low, it is simple and convenient, has good stability, and is safe and labor-saving.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A tilting gas cylinder operating device includes a support base, a longitudinal support, and a tilting frame;

[0007] The longitudinal support is vertically installed at the top of the rear end of the support base, and a connecting beam is provided at the top of the longitudinal support;

[0008] The tilting frame includes handles, support straps, support plates, and connecting ears. There are two handles arranged opposite each other. There are three or more support straps, each parallel to the two handles, with both ends connected to the two handles. The support plate is located at the bottom of the handles, with both ends connected to the two handles. There are two connecting ears arranged opposite each other, with the tops of the two connecting ears connected to the two handles and the bottoms rotatably connected to the front end of the support base, forming a rotatable tilting frame. The two handles are movably connected to the top of the connecting beam, forming an inclined configuration. When the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam is opened, the tilting frame can rotate.

[0009] The base has three or more casters at the bottom.

[0010] The direction from the rear end to the front end of the support base is consistent with the walking direction when the tilting gas cylinder operating device is in use.

[0011] The aforementioned tilting gas cylinder operating device, when in use, involves opening the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam, tilting the frame away from the longitudinal support until the support plate reaches its lowest position or contacts the ground. The gas cylinder is then moved onto the support plate, and the tilting frame is tilted towards the longitudinal support again until the two handles reach their connection points with the connecting beam and are movably connected to it. At this point, the support belt and support plate provide effective support for the gas cylinder, making it simple and stable. Then, the device is pushed to its destination by hand. When it is necessary to unload the gas cylinder, the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam is opened, tilting the frame away from the longitudinal support until the support plate reaches its lowest position or contacts the ground. The gas cylinder is then removed, and the tilting frame is tilted towards the longitudinal support again until the two handles reach their connection points with the connecting beam and are movably connected to it. The device is then pushed to the next required location. During the operation of the gas cylinder, no external force is required to balance its weight, and there is no need to find a balance point when starting or stopping. This reduces labor intensity, allows for arbitrary starting and stopping, requires minimal experience from the operator, is simple and convenient, provides good stability, and is safe and labor-saving.

[0012] The support base is equipped with three or more rollers at the bottom, which can provide stable and effective support and facilitate movement.

[0013] The applicant initially developed a non-tiltable gas cylinder transport device, which could easily move gas cylinders to their destination, improving work efficiency and facilitating cylinder handling. However, during field use, it was found that loading and unloading gas cylinders was quite laborious. Therefore, the applicant further improved the gas cylinder transport device, ensuring simple operation and stable transport while also facilitating cylinder loading and unloading.

[0014] To simplify the structure and facilitate manufacturing, one specific implementation involves two handles movably connected to the top of the connecting beam via a flip-top structure. The flip-top structure includes an arc-shaped baffle, with the handles located inside the baffle. Both ends of the arc-shaped baffle are connected to the top of the connecting beam. At least one end of the arc-shaped baffle is movably or detachably connected to the top of the connecting beam, allowing the baffle to be opened and the handles removed. For example, both ends of the arc-shaped baffle may be bolted to the top of the connecting beam, allowing for detachment; simply remove the bolts. Alternatively, one end of the arc-shaped baffle may be hinged to the top of the connecting beam, while the other end is movably or detachably connected. To remove the handles, open the connection between the other end of the arc-shaped baffle and the top of the connecting beam, flip the baffle, and release the handles.

[0015] To improve connection stability, the top of the connecting beam has two opposing grooves, and the two handles are respectively fitted into the two grooves. This effectively prevents misalignment between the handles and the connecting beam during operation, thus improving stability.

[0016] For ease of use, as one specific implementation, one end of the arc-shaped baffle is hinged to the connecting beam on one side of the groove, and the other end is movably connected to the connecting beam via a pin structure. When it is necessary to remove the handle, simply open the pin at the other end of the arc-shaped baffle, flip the arc-shaped baffle, and the handle can be removed.

[0017] As an alternative solution, the other end of the arc-shaped baffle can also be movably connected to the crossbeam via existing structures such as movable buckles or clamps.

[0018] The pin structure, movable buckle, clamp, etc. of this application can be directly purchased from existing commercially available products. Their installation and use can be directly referred to the product manual and existing technology. This application does not have any special improvements in this regard, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0019] For ease of use, the top end of the handle is bent downwards at an angle to form a grip. The grip is surrounded by a rubber layer with anti-slip texture on the outer surface.

[0020] To simplify the structure, facilitate manufacturing, and make it easy to use, the support base has mounting shafts on both sides of its front end (two mounting shafts in total). Each mounting shaft has a wheel mounted on it, and the bottom of two connecting lugs are rotatably connected to the outer mounting shafts of the two wheels. The side of the two wheels facing each other is the inner side, and the side facing away from each other is the outer side.

[0021] To ensure stability and save costs, a locking steering wheel is located at the center of the bottom rear end of the support base. That is, the support base has two traveling wheels at the front and one locking steering wheel at the rear, for a total of three wheels, forming a stable triangular support and traveling mechanism.

[0022] The installation of the wheels, locking steering wheels, etc. in this application can be done by referring to the product manual or existing mature technology. This application does not have any special improvements in this regard, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The aforementioned support strip has a concave arc-shaped structure, which improves its compatibility with the shape of the gas cylinder and enhances the stability of the support.

[0024] To further improve the stability and safety of operation, the above-mentioned tilting gas cylinder operating device also includes an arc-shaped cover. One side of the arc-shaped cover is hinged to one of the handles, and the other side is movably connected to another handle. The arc-shaped cover has an upward-convex arc-shaped structure. The support belt, the arc-shaped cover, and the support plate form a columnar space for placing the gas cylinder.

[0025] The hinge in this application can be a structure such as a hinge. For specific installation methods, please refer to the product manual or existing mature technologies. This application does not make any special improvements in this regard, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0026] For ease of manufacture and use, the curved cover has three or more hooks distributed along its length on the other side, each hook being movably attached to another handle. This allows the curved cover to be opened or closed easily and quickly when loading or unloading gas cylinders.

[0027] Any technologies not mentioned in this utility model are based on existing technologies.

[0028] This utility model relates to a flip-type gas cylinder operating device. The handle adopts a flip-type structural design, which facilitates the loading and unloading of gas cylinders. The structure is simple, ingenious, and labor-saving. During operation, no external force is required to balance the weight of the gas cylinder, and there is no need to find a balance point when starting and stopping. The labor intensity is low, it can be started and stopped at will, requires little experience from the operator, is simple and convenient, has good stability, and is safe and labor-saving.

[0040] The longitudinal support is vertically installed at the top of the rear end of the support base, and a connecting beam is provided at the top of the longitudinal support;

[0041] The tilting frame includes handles, support straps, support plates, and connecting ears. There are two handles arranged opposite each other. There are three or more support straps, each parallel to the two handles, with both ends connected to the two handles. The support plate is located at the bottom of the handles, with both ends connected to the two handles. There are two connecting ears arranged opposite each other, with the tops of the two connecting ears connected to the two handles respectively, and the bottoms of the two connecting ears rotatably connected to the front end of the support base. The two handles are movably connected to the top of the connecting beam, forming an inclined arrangement. When the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam is opened, the tilting frame can rotate.

[0042] The base has three or more casters at the bottom.

[0043] When using the above-mentioned tilting gas cylinder operating device, such as Figure 2 As shown, open the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam, and flip the tilting frame away from the longitudinal support until the support plate reaches its lowest position or touches the ground. Then, move the gas cylinder onto the support plate, and then flip the tilting frame towards the longitudinal support until the two handles reach the connection point with the connecting beam and are movably connected to the connecting beam (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the support belt and support plate provide effective support for the gas cylinder, which is simple and stable. Then, push it to the destination by holding the handle. When it is necessary to unload the gas cylinder, open the movable connection between the two handles and the connecting beam, flip the tilting frame away from the longitudinal support until the support plate reaches its lowest position or contacts the ground, remove the gas cylinder, and then flip the tilting frame towards the longitudinal support until the two handles reach the connection with the connecting beam and are movably connected to it.

For example, both ends of the arc-shaped baffle are bolted to the top of the connecting beam, allowing for detachment; simply remove the bolts to remove the handles. Alternatively, one end of the arc-shaped baffle may be hinged to the top of the connecting beam, while the other end is movably or detachably connected. To remove the handles, open the connection between the other end of the arc-shaped baffle and the top of the connecting beam, flip the baffle, and release the handles.

[0050] Example 5

[0051] Based on Example 4, the following improvements were made: Figure 5 As shown, for ease of use, one end of the curved baffle is hinged (similar to a hinge structure; one blade is a flat plate, bolted to the connecting beam, and the other blade is a curved plate, serving as the curved baffle) to one side of the groove. The other end (the free end of the curved baffle) is movably connected to the connecting beam via a pin structure. When it is necessary to remove the handle, open the pin at the other end of the curved baffle, flip the curved baffle, and the handle can be removed. Figure 5 As shown in the first figure, the insertion rod is located inside the insertion cylinder, the pin structure is in the closed state, and the handle is movably connected to the connecting beam; as Figure 5 As shown in the second image, rotate the handle of the insert rod to vertically upward, then push the insert rod away from the insert cylinder until it is completely disengaged from the cylinder. Rotate the handle of the insert rod into the handle limiting groove, and the insert pin structure opens; then proceed as follows... Figure 5 As shown in the third picture, when the arc-shaped baffle is flipped over, the handle disengages from the groove, and the flipping frame can be flipped freely.
