[0011] Optionally, the longitudinal cable net includes: a longitudinal main cable, arranged along the height direction of the silo body, the longitudinal main cable being connected to the end of the first column away from the silo body and the end of the third column away from the silo body; and a longitudinal auxiliary cable, arranged along the height direction of the silo body, wherein between each adjacent first column and third column, the middle of the longitudinal auxiliary cable is connected to the longitudinal main cable, and both ends of the longitudinal auxiliary cable are connected to the silo body, or one end of the longitudinal auxiliary cable is connected to the end of the first column connected to the silo body and the other end is connected to the end of the third column connected to the silo body.

[0017] Optionally, the second reinforcing part is a T-beam or an I-beam.

[0018] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. The material storage silo of the present invention is formed by the silo body, supporting columns, and transverse cable net. The transverse cable net, in conjunction with the first and second columns, tightens the circumference of the silo body to enhance the overall structural strength and improve the ultimate bearing capacity of the silo body. By setting the first and second columns of unequal length and alternating their arrangement, when the transverse cable net is connected to both the first and second columns, the pressure exerted by the transverse cable net on the first column is greater than the tension exerted by the transverse cable net on the second column. Therefore, the total force exerted on the silo body by the transverse cable net after tension is pressure, thereby forming a circumferential clamping effect on the outer periphery of the silo body, ensuring the structural strength of the silo body. At the same time, the tension exerted by the transverse cable net on the second column can balance part of the pressure exerted by the transverse cable net on the first column, improving the force balance of the transverse cable net, enhancing the overall stability of the transverse cable net, and making the force on the silo body more uniform. In addition, the transverse cable net is easier to construct than steel components, saves a lot of welding work, shortens the construction period, and saves materials.

[0020] 2. The material storage bin of the present invention includes a transverse cable net comprising a transverse main cable and transverse auxiliary cables. The transverse main cable is arranged circumferentially along the bin body and is connected to both the end of the first column away from the bin body and the end of the second column away from the bin body. The transverse auxiliary cables are arranged circumferentially along the bin body. Between each adjacent first column and second column, the middle of the transverse auxiliary cable is connected to the transverse main cable, and both ends of the transverse auxiliary cable are connected to the bin body, or one end of the transverse auxiliary cable is connected to the end of the first column connected to the bin body and the other end is connected to the end of the second column connected to the bin body. The above configuration involves applying pressure to the first column and tension to the second column when the main transverse cable is tensioned. Since the pressure is greater than the tension, the entire support column is under pressure, which is then transmitted to the silo body. This pressure creates a hoop effect, enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the material storage silo. Meanwhile, the auxiliary transverse cables are under tension when the main transverse cable is tensioned. This tension balances part of the pressure from the main transverse cable, ensuring that the silo body is subjected to both pressure and tension. This prevents excessive pressure from the main transverse cable on the silo body, which could damage it. This configuration enhances the stability of the main transverse cable and ensures uniform circumferential stress on the silo body.

[0021] 3. The material storage silo of the present invention further includes longitudinal cable nets arranged along the height direction of the silo body. Multiple longitudinal cable nets are provided and correspond one-to-one with multiple rows of first uprights, and each longitudinal cable net is connected to multiple first uprights within each row of first uprights. By further providing longitudinal cable nets within each row of first uprights, the longitudinal cable nets can connect to multiple transverse cable nets arranged along the height direction of the silo body, so that multiple longitudinal cable nets and multiple transverse cable nets cooperate to form a cable net system encircling the silo body, creating a wrapping and tightening effect on the outer perimeter of the silo body, further enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the longitudinal and transverse cable nets ensures that the silo body is subjected to both lateral and longitudinal forces, improving the overall stress balance and stability.

[0022] 4. In the material storage silo of the present invention, the support columns further include a third column, the length of which is shorter than that of the first column. The first and third columns are alternately arranged along the height direction of the silo body. The longitudinal cable net is connected to both the third and first columns, and the pressure exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the first column is greater than the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the third column. By setting the first and third columns of unequal length and alternating arrangement, when the longitudinal cable net is connected to both the first and third columns, since the pressure exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the first column is greater than the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the third column, the total force exerted on the silo body after the longitudinal cable net is tensioned is pressure, thus providing longitudinal clamping force to the silo body. At the same time, the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the third column can balance part of the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net on the first column, enhancing the overall stability of the longitudinal cable net and making the stress on the silo body more uniform.

[0023] 5. The material storage bin of the present invention includes a longitudinal cable net comprising a longitudinal main cable and a longitudinal auxiliary cable. The longitudinal main cable is arranged along the height direction of the bin body and is connected to the end of the first column away from the bin body and the end of the third column away from the bin body. The longitudinal auxiliary cable is arranged along the height direction of the bin body. Between each adjacent first column and third column, the middle of the longitudinal auxiliary cable is connected to the longitudinal main cable. Both ends of the longitudinal auxiliary cable are connected to the bin body, or one end of the longitudinal auxiliary cable is connected to the end of the first column connected to the bin body and the other end is connected to the end of the third column connected to the bin body. The above configuration involves applying pressure to the first column and tension to the third column when the longitudinal main cable is tensioned. Since the pressure is greater than the tension, the longitudinally arranged support columns are compressed as a whole, and the pressure is transmitted to the silo body, causing the silo body to be compressed and longitudinally tightened, thereby further enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the material storage silo. Meanwhile, the longitudinal auxiliary cables are under tension when the longitudinal main cable is tensioned. This tension can balance part of the pressure of the longitudinal main cable, so that the silo body is subjected to both pressure and tension. This avoids excessive pressure on the silo body from the longitudinal main cable and damage to the silo body, thus enhancing the stability of the longitudinal main cable and making the longitudinal stress of the silo body uniform.

[0024] 6. The material storage silo of the present invention further includes an annular cross cable net. The annular cross cable net includes circumferential cables and vertical cables. The circumferential cables are arranged around the circumference of the silo body and are connected to multiple third columns in the same layer. The vertical cables are arranged along the height of the silo body and are connected to multiple second columns in the same column. The vertical cables and circumferential cables are cross-connected. The vertical cables can connect multiple second columns in the same column and apply pressure to the second columns through tension, which is transmitted to the silo body, providing longitudinal support for the silo body. The circumferential cables can connect multiple third columns in the same layer and apply pressure to the third columns through tension, which is transmitted to the silo body, providing circumferential support for the silo body. Therefore, the circumferential cables and vertical cables increase the density of the original transverse and longitudinal cable nets, improve the structural strength and stability of the entire cable net system, and improve the uniformity of stress distribution throughout the silo body.

[0025] 7. In the material storage bin of the present invention, multiple circumferential and vertical cables are provided. The multiple circumferential cables correspond one-to-one with the third columns of multiple layers, and the multiple vertical cables correspond one-to-one with the second columns of multiple rows. That is, each layer of multiple third columns is connected and tensioned by a circumferential cable, and each row of multiple second columns is connected and tensioned by a vertical cable. This allows the vertical cables to alternate with the longitudinal cable net, and the circumferential cables to alternate with the transverse cable net, working together to form a ring-shaped cable net surrounding the bin body. This improves the out-of-plane stability of the transverse and longitudinal cable nets and enhances the overall lateral stiffness of the material storage bin.

[0026] 8. The material storage bin of the present invention further includes a first reinforcing part, which is disposed on the outer wall of the bin body, and the support column is connected to the first reinforcing part. Since the connection between the support column and the bin body is subjected to a large local force when force is applied, the first reinforcing part can enhance the local structural strength of the bin body, thereby improving the local load-bearing capacity of the bin body on the support column and reducing the risk of deformation of the bin body at this point.

[0027] 9. The material storage silo of the present invention further includes a second reinforcing part, which is disposed on the inner wall of the silo body and is correspondingly disposed to the first reinforcing part. The second reinforcing part can further enhance the local structural strength of the silo body based on the first reinforcing part, improve the local load-bearing capacity of the silo body to the supporting columns, and allow the transverse cable net and / or longitudinal cable net and / or circumferential cross cable net to apply greater prestress tension, so as to provide greater clamping force to the silo body. Furthermore, since the second reinforcing part is disposed on the inner wall of the silo body, it does not occupy the external space of the silo body and has good aesthetics.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a material storage bin, including a bin body 1, support columns 2, and a transverse cable net 3. The bin body 1 forms a storage cavity 11. The support columns 2 are vertically arranged on the outer wall of the bin body 1. The support columns 2 include a first column 21 and a second column 22 alternately arranged along the circumference of the bin body 1. The length of the first column 21 is greater than the length of the second column 22. The transverse cable net 3 is arranged along the circumference of the bin body 1. The transverse cable net 3 is connected to both the first column 21 and the second column 22. The pressure of the transverse cable net 3 on the first column 21 is greater than the tension of the transverse cable net 3 on the second column 22, so as to tighten the bin body 1 by the tension of the transverse cable net 3.

[0042] The material storage bin in this embodiment is formed by the bin body 1, support columns 2, and a transverse cable net 3. The transverse cable net 3, in conjunction with the first column 21 and the second column 22, circumferentially tightens the bin body 1 to enhance the overall structural strength and increase the ultimate bearing capacity of the bin body 1. By setting up first and second columns 21 and 22 of unequal length and alternating arrangement, when the transverse cable net 3 is connected to both the first and second columns 21 and 22, the pressure exerted by the transverse cable net 3 on the first column 21 is greater than the pressure exerted by the transverse cable net 3 on the second column 22. The tension of the transverse cable net 3 results in a total pressure on the silo body 1 after tensioning, thus forming a hoop effect on the outer periphery of the silo body 1, ensuring the structural strength of the silo body 1. At the same time, the tension of the transverse cable net 3 on the second column 22 can balance part of the pressure of the transverse cable net 3 on the first column 21, improving the force balance of the transverse cable net 3, enhancing the overall stability of the transverse cable net 3, and making the force on the silo body 1 more uniform. In addition, the transverse cable net 3 is more convenient to construct than steel components, saves a lot of welding work, shortens the construction period, and saves materials.

[0043] It is understood that the materials in this embodiment may be one or more mixtures of cement, fly ash, slag powder, clinker, grain, etc.

[0044] The structure of this material storage bin will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] When the silo 1 stores materials, the materials exert an outward compressive force on the silo 1. If this compressive force is too large (greater than the ultimate bearing capacity of the silo 1 structure), it will damage the structure of the silo 1. Therefore, the present invention sets a transverse cable net 3 around the silo 1. The clamping force of the transverse cable net 3 on the silo 1 can offset and balance the compressive force, preventing the silo 1 from being crushed and damaged, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the silo 1 and improving its ultimate bearing capacity.

[0046] Regarding the specific structure of the storage chamber 1, in this embodiment, the storage chamber 1 includes multiple storage walls, which are sequentially arranged and welded together to form a storage cavity 11 for storing materials. The storage chamber 1, divided into multiple storage walls, facilitates transportation and storage; once the storage walls are transported to the construction site, they can be assembled and welded. Specifically, the storage chamber 1 can be cylindrical or rectangular.

[0047] In terms of specific quantity, the first column 21 and the second column 22 are both arranged in multiple layers along the height direction of the silo body 1. The first columns 21 corresponding to each layer form multiple columns of first columns, and the second columns 22 corresponding to each layer form multiple columns.

[0048] In addition, the support column 2 also includes a third column 23, the length of which is shorter than that of the first column 21. The first column 21 and the third column 23 are alternately arranged along the height direction of the silo body 1. Specifically, the third column 23 is also arranged in multiple columns and corresponds one-to-one with multiple columns of the first column, that is, each column of the first column contains multiple alternately arranged first columns 21 and third columns 23.

[0049] The first column 21, the second column 22, and the third column 23 are all made of round tubes or steel sections with high rigidity to withstand the tensile or compressive forces transmitted by the transverse cable net 3. Specifically, the first column 21, the second column 22, and the third column 23 can all be fixed to the outer wall of the silo body 1 by welding or mechanical structure; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, regarding the specific structure of the transverse cable net 3, in this embodiment, the transverse cable net 3 includes a transverse main cable 31 and a transverse auxiliary cable 32. The transverse main cable 31 is arranged around the circumference of the silo body 1. The transverse main cable 31 is connected to the end of the first column 21 away from the silo body 1 and the end of the second column 22 away from the silo body 1. The transverse auxiliary cable 32 is arranged around the circumference of the silo body 1. Between each adjacent first column 21 and second column 22, the middle of the transverse auxiliary cable 32 is connected to the transverse main cable 31. Both ends of the transverse auxiliary cable 32 are connected to the silo body 1, or one end of the transverse auxiliary cable 32 is connected to the end of the first column 21 connected to the silo body 1, and the other end is connected to the end of the second column 22 connected to the silo body 1.

[0051] The above configuration involves applying pressure to the first column 21 and tension to the second column 22 when the transverse main cable 31 is tensioned. Since the pressure is greater than the tension, the support column 2 is under overall pressure, which is transmitted to the silo body 1. This causes the silo body 1 to be under pressure, forming a hoop effect to enhance the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the material storage silo. Meanwhile, the transverse auxiliary cable 32 is under tension when the transverse main cable 31 is tensioned. This tension can balance part of the pressure on the transverse main cable 31, so that the silo body 1 is subjected to both pressure and tension. This avoids excessive pressure from the transverse main cable 31 on the silo body 1, which could damage the silo body 1. This configuration enhances the stability of the transverse main cable 31 and ensures that the silo body 1 is subjected to uniform circumferential stress.

[0052] Specifically, the transverse main cable 31 and the transverse auxiliary cable 32 are perpendicularly orthogonal to form a cable truss. The transverse main cable 31 is a continuous cable and acts as the chord of the cable truss. Between each adjacent first column 21 and second column 22, the middle part of the transverse auxiliary cable 32 is connected to the transverse main cable 31 through a tensioning node. The two ends of the transverse auxiliary cable 32 are tensioned at one end of the first column 21 connected to the silo body 1 and the other end of the second column 22 connected to the silo body 1.

[0053] Each first column 21 and second column 22 on each floor is equipped with a transverse cable net 3, thereby forming multiple transverse cable nets 3 in the height direction of the silo body 1, so that the silo body 1 is evenly stressed and has good structural stability.

[0054] During tensioning, the transverse main cable 31 and the transverse auxiliary cable 32 can be tensioned at one end or at both ends. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions. After tensioning is completed, the two ends of the transverse main cable 31 and the transverse auxiliary cable 32 can be anchored to the chamber body 1 or hinged to the support column 2.

[0055] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the material storage bin in this embodiment also includes a longitudinal cable net 4 arranged along the height direction of the bin body 1. There are multiple longitudinal cable nets 4, each corresponding to a column of multiple first columns 21. Each longitudinal cable net 4 is connected to multiple first columns 21 in each column of first columns 21.

[0056] By further setting longitudinal cable nets 4 in each first column 21, the longitudinal cable nets 4 can connect multiple transverse cable nets 3 arranged along the height direction of the silo body 1, so that multiple longitudinal cable nets 4 and multiple transverse cable nets 3 cooperate to form a cable net system that surrounds the silo body 1, forming a wrapping clamp around the outer perimeter of the silo body 1, further enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the cooperation of longitudinal cable nets 4 and transverse cable nets 3 allows the silo body 1 to be subjected to both transverse and longitudinal forces, improving the overall stress balance and stability.

[0057] Specifically, the longitudinal cable net 4 is connected to both the third column 23 and the first column 21, and the pressure exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the first column 21 is greater than the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the third column 23. By setting the first column 21 and the third column 23 with unequal and alternating lengths, when the longitudinal cable net 4 is connected to both the first column 21 and the third column 23, since the pressure exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the first column 21 is greater than the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the third column 23, the total force exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the silo body 1 after tension is pressure, thus providing longitudinal clamping force to the silo body 1. At the same time, the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the third column 23 can balance part of the tension exerted by the longitudinal cable net 4 on the first column 21, enhancing the overall stability of the longitudinal cable net 4 and making the force on the silo body 1 more uniform.

[0058] Similar to the structure of the transverse cable net 3, the longitudinal cable net 4 includes a longitudinal main cable 41 and a longitudinal auxiliary cable 42. The longitudinal main cable 41 is arranged along the height direction of the silo body 1 and is connected to the end of the first column 21 away from the silo body 1 and the end of the third column 23 away from the silo body 1. The longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 is arranged along the height direction of the silo body 1. Between each adjacent first column 21 and third column 23, the middle of the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 is connected to the longitudinal main cable 41. Both ends of the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 are connected to the silo body 1, or one end of the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 is connected to the end of the first column 21 connected to the silo body 1 and the other end is connected to the end of the third column 23 connected to the silo body 1.

[0059] The above configuration involves applying pressure to the first column 21 and tension to the third column 23 when the longitudinal main cable 41 is tensioned. Since the pressure is greater than the tension, the longitudinally arranged support columns 2 are compressed as a whole, and the pressure is transmitted to the silo body 1, causing the silo body 1 to be compressed and longitudinally tightened, thereby further enhancing the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the material storage silo. Meanwhile, the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 is under tension when the longitudinal main cable 41 is tensioned. This tension can balance part of the pressure of the longitudinal main cable 41, so that the silo body 1 is subjected to both pressure and tension, avoiding excessive pressure on the silo body 1 by the longitudinal main cable 41 and thus preventing damage to the silo body 1. This configuration enhances the stability of the longitudinal main cable 41 and makes the longitudinal force on the silo body 1 uniform.

[0060] In this embodiment, between each adjacent first column 21 and third column 23, the middle part of the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 is connected to the longitudinal main cable 41 through a tensioning node, and the two ends of the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 are tensioned at one end of the first column 21 connected to the silo body 1 and the other end of the third column 23 connected to the silo body 1.

[0061] During tensioning, the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 and the longitudinal main cable 41 can be tensioned at one end or at both ends. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions. After tensioning is completed, the upper ends of the longitudinal main cable 41 and the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 can be anchored to the chamber body 1 or hinged to the support column 2, and the lower ends of the longitudinal main cable 41 and the longitudinal auxiliary cable 42 can be anchored to the foundation or the chamber body 1.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the material storage silo in this embodiment also includes an annular cross cable net 5. The annular cross cable net 5 includes annular cables 51 and vertical cables 52. The annular cables 51 are arranged around the circumference of the silo body 1 and are connected to multiple third columns 23 on the same floor. The vertical cables 52 are arranged along the height of the silo body 1 and are connected to multiple second columns 22 in the same column. The vertical cables 52 are cross-connected with the annular cables 51. The vertical cable 52 can connect multiple second columns 22 in the same row, and apply pressure to the second columns 22 through the tension of the vertical cable 52 and transmit it to the silo body 1, providing longitudinal support to the silo body 1. The circumferential cable 51 can connect multiple third columns 23 in the same layer, and apply pressure to the third columns 23 through the tension of the circumferential cable 51 and transmit it to the silo body 1, providing circumferential support to the silo body 1. Therefore, the circumferential cable 51 and the vertical cable 52 increase the density of the original transverse cable net 3 and longitudinal cable net 4, improve the structural strength and stability of the entire cable net system, and improve the uniformity of stress in all parts of the silo body 1.

[0063] Optionally, multiple circumferential cables 51 and multiple vertical cables 52 are provided. The multiple circumferential cables 51 are configured one-to-one with the third columns 23 of the multiple layers, and the multiple vertical cables 52 are configured one-to-one with the second columns 22 of the multiple columns. That is, the multiple third columns 23 of each layer are connected and tensioned by a circumferential cable 51, and the multiple second columns 22 of each column are connected and tensioned by a vertical cable 52. This allows the vertical cables 52 to be alternately set with the longitudinal cable net 4, and the circumferential cables 51 to be alternately set with the transverse cable net 3, working together to form a ring-shaped cable net around the silo body 1, improving the out-of-plane stability of the transverse cable net 3 and the longitudinal cable net 4 and increasing the overall lateral stiffness of the material storage silo.

[0064] The tensioning and fixing of the circumferential cable 51 and the vertical cable 52 are the same as those of the transverse cable net 3 and the longitudinal cable net 4 described above, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0065] Optionally, the material storage bin also includes a first reinforcing part 6, which is disposed on the outer wall of the bin body 1, and the support column 2 is connected to the first reinforcing part 6. Since the connection between the support column 2 and the bin body 1 is subjected to greater local stress when force is applied, the first reinforcing part 6 can enhance the local structural strength of the bin body 1, thereby improving the local load-bearing capacity of the bin body 1 on the support column 2 and reducing the risk of deformation of the bin body 1 at this location.

[0066] The thickness T of the first reinforcing part 6 is related to the thickness t of the hopper body 1 as follows: T = 0.5t ~ 1t. This arrangement can increase the local thickness of the hopper body 1 by 0.5 to 1 times. Specifically, the first reinforcing part 6 can be a reinforcing steel plate.

[0067] It is understandable that the thickness of the first reinforcing part 6 is limited. When the circumferential dimension of the material storage bin is too large, the first reinforcing part 6 may not be sufficient to meet the structural strength requirements at the connection between the bin body 1 and the support column 2. Therefore, the material storage bin in this embodiment also includes a second reinforcing part 7, which is disposed on the inner wall of the bin body 1 and corresponds to the first reinforcing part 6. The second reinforcing part 7 can further enhance the local structural strength of the bin body 1 based on the first reinforcing part 6, improve the local load-bearing capacity of the bin body 1 on the support column 2, and allow for greater prestress tension to be applied to the transverse cable net 3 and / or longitudinal cable net 4 and / or circumferential cross cable net, thereby providing greater clamping force to the bin body 1. Furthermore, since the second reinforcing part 7 is disposed on the inner wall of the bin body 1, it does not occupy the external space of the bin body 1 and has good aesthetics.

[0068] Specifically, the second reinforcing part 7 is a T-shaped steel or an I-beam to ensure structural strength. The second reinforcing part 7 can be selectively installed according to the size of the silo body 1 and the magnitude of the prestress.

[0069] In terms of the specific fixing method, the first reinforcing part 6 and the second reinforcing part 7 are both fixed to the outer wall and inner wall of the silo body 1 respectively by welding. The first reinforcing part 6 and the second reinforcing part 7 are respectively provided at the connection between each of the first column 21, the second column 22 and the third column 23 and the silo body 1.

[0070] To facilitate understanding of the material storage bin in this embodiment, its usage process is described below:

[0071] When materials are stored in the storage cavity 11 of the silo body 1, the materials exert an outward compressive force on the silo body 1. Meanwhile, the transverse cable net 3, longitudinal cable net 4, and circumferential cross cable net outside the silo body 1 work together to provide a clamping force around the silo body 1, forming a ring clamping effect. This clamping force is opposite to and much greater than the material compressive force, thereby providing stable support for the silo body 1 and improving the ultimate bearing capacity of the silo body 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the silo body 1 can also be integrally stamped into a cylindrical or rectangular shape, which makes the silo body 1 integrally formed and has high structural strength.

[0073] In some embodiments, both ends of the transverse tension cable 32 may be connected to the silo body 1 between each adjacent first column 21 and second column 22, and / or both ends of the longitudinal tension cable 42 may be connected to the silo body 1 between each adjacent first column 21 and third column 23, thereby achieving tensioning of the transverse tension cable 32 and / or the longitudinal tension cable 42.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second reinforcing part 7 can also be configured as a reinforcing plate, which can also enhance the local structural strength of the silo body 1.

[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
