[0027] Example 1

[0028] See also Figure 1-2 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] The automatic feeding refrigerated storage system comprises a main warehouse body 1 fixed to the ground, and the remaining components are integrated on the main warehouse body 1. The inner wall of the main warehouse body 1 is lined with insulation material to improve the internal insulation effect of the main warehouse body 1.

[0030] Among them: the front door 3 is hingedly installed on the upper front side of the main compartment body 1. Figure 1 As shown, the front door 3 is in the open state.

[0031] A rear door 2 is hingedly mounted on the upper rear side of the main compartment body 1. Figure 1 As shown, the rear door 2 is also in the open state.

[0032] Electric push rods 4 are installed in the middle of both sides of the main compartment body 1. The two ends of the electric push rods 4 are respectively connected to the main compartment body 1 and the front compartment door 3. The electric push rods 4 can be extended or retracted. By extending and retracting the electric push rods 4, the front compartment door 3 can be controlled to open and close in front of the main compartment body 1, further realizing the opening and closing function of the front compartment door 3.

[0033] Rear door struts 8 are mounted on both upper sides of the main compartment body 1. Their ends connect the main compartment body 1 and rear door 2, respectively. One end of the rear door strut 8 is hinged to the rear door 2, while the other end can be snap-fastened to the outer surface of the main compartment body 1. By rotating the rear door 2 onto the main compartment body 1 to open it, and then rotating the other end of the rear door strut 8 to snap-fasten it onto the surface of the main compartment body 1, the rear door struts 8 support the rear door 2, thereby maintaining its open position. Once the rear door struts 8 are removed from both sides of the main compartment body 1, the rear door 2 can reseal and insulate the frozen area within the main compartment body 1.

[0034] The upper interior space of the main bin body 1 is set as a freezing zone. Several groups of independent silo assemblies 7 are installed on the front side of the upper interior of the main bin body 1. The independent silo assembly 7 is located in the freezing zone. The independent silo assembly 7 is the core component of this device. A light silo switch 5 is installed inside the main bin body 1. The light silo switch 5 is located on the rear side of the independent silo assembly 7. The number of light silo switches 5 and independent silo assembly 7 is adapted, and the control relationship between the light silo switch 5 and the independent silo assembly 7 corresponds one to one. The function of the light silo switch 5 is to control the feeding status of the corresponding independent silo assembly 7. When the light silo switch 5 is pressed, the light turns on, indicating that the corresponding independent silo assembly 7 has completed feeding.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the independent silo assembly 7 is mainly composed of a silo body 71, a flap 72, a micro electric push rod 73, a shovel push plate 74, a shovel push plate top rod 75, a front bracket 76, and a rear bracket 77. The front bracket 76 and the rear bracket 77 are both installed on the inner walls on both sides of the main silo body 1. The rear bracket 77 is located on the rear side of the front bracket 76. The surface of the rear bracket 77 is connected to the micro electric push rod 73, and the surface of the front bracket 76 is connected to the silo body 71. The top of the silo body 71 is set to an opening shape, which is a feeding station. The front end of the silo body 71 is hingedly installed with a flap 72, and the interior of the silo body 71 is inserted with a shovel push plate 74, and the front end surface of the shovel push plate 74 is connected to the shovel push plate top rod 75. The front end of the micro electric push rod 73 is connected to the shovel push plate 74. The micro electric push rod 73 can move forward and backward, and further through the micro electric push rod 73, it can drive the shovel push plate 74 and the shovel push plate push rod 75 to move forward or backward. The front side of the shovel push plate 74 has saw-like shovel teeth, which are used to push the material in the warehouse body 71 to realize the warehouse discharge function, and at the same time, it can clear away any residual material that may be frozen on the warehouse body 71 to prevent material shortages and component jamming. The shovel push plate push rod 75 is installed at the front end of the shovel push plate 74, and the front end of the shovel push plate push rod 75 is hinged to the flap 72. Its function is to control the rotation of the flap 72 on the warehouse body 71 to realize the opening and closing function of the flap 72.

[0036] A discharge chute assembly 6 is installed in the middle position of the external front side of the main silo body 1. The discharge chute assembly 6 is used to receive the discharge of the independent silo assembly 7. At the same time, an opening is set at the center position below the front end of the discharge chute assembly 6 as a discharge station. The discharge chute assembly 6 is used to enable the staff to receive the discharge of the material, and the discharge chute assembly 6 allows the material to enter other production equipment through the discharge station.

[0037] A refrigeration unit 10 is installed at the lower interior of the main compartment 1, providing a cooling source for the interior of the main compartment 1. An evaporator fan 9 is also installed inside the main compartment 1, located in front of the refrigeration unit 10. This fan blows the cooling source into the freezing zone above the main compartment 1 through air convection, achieving rapid cooling. An electrical control panel 11 is mounted on the lower sidewall of the main compartment 1.

[0038] Working Principle: The electronic control panel 11 is activated, and the refrigeration components 10 and evaporator fan 9 begin operating simultaneously, bringing the temperature in the freezer area of ​​the independent silo assembly 7 below -18°C. The rear door 2 is manually opened, and the evaporator fan 9 stops operating. Two sets of rear door support rods 8 are snapped onto the two sides of the main silo body 1, supporting and securing the rear door 2. At this point, materials are added to the loading stations of several independent silo assemblies 7 as needed, and the corresponding light-type silo switches 5 for the independent silo assemblies 7 to be added are simultaneously pressed. The rear door support rods 8 are then removed, and the rear door 2 is closed. The evaporator fan 9 starts operating, completing manual loading, and the system enters the starting state. During automatic feeding, the electric push rod 4 extends forward, driving the front bin door 3 to move to the open state, the evaporator fan 9 stops working, the micro electric push rod 73 extends forward, driving the shovel push plate 74 and the shovel push plate top rod 75 to move forward, pushing the flap 72 to the open state, and shoveling the material out of the bin body 71, falling into the discharging chute assembly 6, leaving the equipment from the discharging station on the discharging chute assembly 6 and entering other production equipment, then the micro electric push rod 73 retracts, driving the shovel push plate 74 and the shovel push plate top rod 75 to retract, pushing the flap 72 to the closed state, the electric push rod 4 retracts, driving the front bin door 3 to move to the closed state, the evaporator fan 9 starts working, returns to the starting state, and the cycle continues.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] See also Figure 1-2 Based on the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0041] The method for using the automatic feeding refrigerated storage system includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Turn on the electric control panel 11, control the evaporator fan 9 and the refrigeration component 10 to run synchronously, and cool the freezing area inside the main silo 1 so that the temperature of the freezing area where the independent silo assembly 7 is located is lower than -18°C;

[0043] Step 2: Manually open the rear door 2, and fix the two ends of the rear door support rod 8 to the surface of the main body 1, so that the rear door 2 is supported by the rear door support rod 8;

[0044] Step 3: Add materials to the feeding stations of several groups of independent silo assemblies 7 according to demand, and simultaneously press the light-type silo switch 5 corresponding to the independent silo assembly 7 to which the materials are added;

[0045] Step 4: Remove the rear door support rod 8 and close the rear door 2;

[0046] Step 5: The evaporator fan 9 starts working again, completing the manual feeding;

[0047] Step 6: During automatic feeding, the electric push rod 4 starts to move forward, driving the front door 3 to move to the open state;

[0048] Step 7: The evaporator fan 9 stops working, and the micro electric push rod 73 starts to move forward, driving the shovel push plate 74 and the shovel push plate top rod 75 to move forward, pushing the flap 72 to the open state, and the shovel push plate 74 pushes the material out of the bin body 71 and drops it into the discharge chute assembly 6, so that the material leaves the equipment from the discharge station of the discharge chute assembly 6 and enters other production equipment;

[0049] Step 8: The micro electric push rod 73 is opened again to retract, driving the shovel push plate 74 and the shovel push plate top rod 75 to retract, pulling the flap 72 to the closed state, and the electric push rod 4 is opened again to retract, driving the front door 3 to move to the closed state;

[0050] Step 9: The evaporator fan 9 starts working again to cool the freezing area in the main compartment 1 again;

[0051] Step 10: Repeat steps 1 to 9.

[0052] This solution is based on the main compartment body 1, with the refrigeration component 10 providing a cold source. When the front compartment door 3 and the rear compartment door 2 are closed, the evaporator fan 9 starts to operate, rapidly cooling the freezing zone to below -18°C through air convection. When the front compartment door 3 or the rear compartment door 2 is opened, the evaporator fan 9 stops operating, slowing the convection between the low-temperature air in the freezing zone and the high-temperature air outside. This ensures that the temperature of the freezing zone remains below 0°C after the temperature rise before the front compartment door 3 or the rear compartment door 2 is closed, meeting the requirements for automatic feeding of frozen materials.

[0053] Each independent silo assembly 7 of this solution does not affect each other during operation, and different materials can be added separately according to demand, so as to meet the use occasions where the equipment can automatically supply multiple varieties of materials after adding materials;

[0054] Through optimized design, this solution ensures that each component of the independent silo assembly 7 has only one miniature electric push rod 73 to drive the shovel push plate 74 with saw-like shovel teeth, the shovel push plate top rod 75, and the flap 72 to realize the function of pushing materials out of the silo body 71. At the same time, there is only one light-type silo switch 5 for controlling the component of the corresponding independent silo assembly 7 to fill the feeding state, which greatly reduces the types and quantities of components, reduces the risk of complex component structures that are extremely prone to failure in a freezing working environment below 0°C, improves the reliability of the equipment, and also reduces the production cost of the equipment.
