Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container storage, and more specifically, to a grain storage container with a remote monitoring module. Background Technology

[0002] A grain warehouse is a specialized building for storing grain. Based on its type, it can be divided into room-type warehouses, vertical silos, and other structures. It mainly includes warehouses, storage yards (or drying yards), and facilities for metering, conveying, stacking, cleaning, loading and unloading, ventilation, and drying, and is equipped with measuring, sampling, inspection, and testing instruments.

[0003] Traditional grain storage warehouses have some drawbacks, mainly including:

[0004] Inadequate facilities: Many traditional grain warehouses are built to low standards and have inadequate facilities, which may make the grain susceptible to pests, mold and rodents during storage, resulting in losses.

[0005] Outdated technology: Traditional warehouses may lack modern grain storage technologies, such as electronic temperature measurement, mechanical ventilation, and internal circulation temperature control. These technologies can effectively maintain the freshness and quality of grain and reduce losses.

[0006] Inefficient: Traditional grain storage operations often rely on manual labor, which is inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency grain storage.

[0007] Unreasonable regional distribution: The uneven distribution of grain storage facilities in some areas leads to difficulties in grain storage and increases transportation costs and time.
