[0003] When silos store various industrial bulk materials such as cement, fly ash, quicklime, sand, alumina powder, coke, slag, mineral powder, etc., since traditional silos are basically made of steel and concrete, which are not resistant to corrosion or wear, and many materials are highly corrosive and abrasive, traditional steel silos will suffer from severe corrosion or wear, which in turn shortens the service life of the silos. In addition, the maintenance cost of silos is very high, which not only wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also generates a large amount of construction waste during the maintenance and reconstruction process, which seriously damages and affects the environment, and is not conducive to the green development of the construction silo industry. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an assembled carbon fiber silo, which solves the problem in the prior art that traditional silo materials are steel and concrete, which will cause serious corrosion or wear when storing corrosive materials, thereby shortening the service life of the silo, and the maintenance cost is high. At the same time, a large amount of construction waste is generated during the maintenance and reconstruction process.

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] In order to better understand the present invention, the above contents are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0037] Please see attached Figure 1-Figure 4 An embodiment of the present invention provides an assembled carbon fiber silo, comprising: a cylinder body 1, which is provided with multiple layers, and the multiple layers of the cylinder body 1 are connected to each other through connecting parts; a silo top 2, which is composed of multiple branch plates 23, and the top layer of the cylinder body 1 is connected to the silo top 2; a decompression cone 3, which is located at the inner bottom of the cylinder body 1, and the cylinder body 1, the silo top 2 and the decompression cone 3 are made of carbon fiber.

[0038] In the present invention, the assembled carbon fiber silo adopts a modular design, and the cylinder body 1 is composed of a multi-layer structure. The cylinder bodies 1 of each layer are fixedly connected to each other by connecting pieces. Due to the use of carbon fiber materials, the structure of the silo has excellent strength and corrosion resistance, while reducing the overall weight. The carbon fiber material not only enhances the durability of the silo in harsh environments such as acid, alkali, and salt, but also effectively improves the silo's anti-aging properties and extends its service life. The silo top 2 is composed of a plurality of branch plates 23 spliced ​​together and connected to the cylinder body 1 by connecting pieces, which further improves the overall strength and sealing of the silo and prevents material leakage or external pollution. The pressure reducing cone 3 is located at the bottom of the silo, which can adjust the material flow and pressure distribution to avoid material accumulation.

[0039] Please see attached Figure 2 The pressure reducing cone 3 includes an inner cone plate 31, an outer cone plate 32 and a top cone plate 33. The outer side of the inner cone plate 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer cone plate 32, and the inner cone plate 31 and the outer cone plate 32 are both fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cone plate 33.

[0040] The pressure reducing cone 3 is composed of an inner cone plate 31, an outer cone plate 32 and a top cone plate 33, which are used to guide the flow of materials, reduce the accumulation of materials, and optimize the discharge path of materials by reducing the pressure of materials in the bottom area, thereby effectively dispersing the pressure in the silo, avoiding blockage or damage caused by excessive accumulation of materials, and ensuring that the silo can operate smoothly and efficiently during long-term use.

[0041] Please see attached Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Each layer of the cylinder body 1 is composed of four semi-circular cylinder bodies 1, and both sides of each semi-circular cylinder body 1 are fixedly connected with connecting plates 12, and two adjacent connecting plates 12 are connected by connecting pieces.

[0042] In the present invention, each layer of the cylinder body 1 is composed of four semi-circular cylinder bodies 1, and connecting plates 12 are fixedly connected on both sides of each semi-circular cylinder body 1, so that each layer of the cylinder body 1 can be flexibly assembled on site. The connecting plates 12 not only play a connecting role, but also provide additional support and stability for the cylinder body 1. Two adjacent connecting plates 12 are fixedly connected by connecting pieces to ensure that each semi-circular cylinder body 1 is tightly combined, so that each layer of the cylinder body 1 forms a firm and stable overall structure. Through this modular design, the assembly of the silo is more efficient and flexible, and it can be disassembled and reassembled according to the on-site conditions and transportation needs. At the same time, it is also convenient to reduce the volume during transportation and improve transportation efficiency.

[0043] Please see attached Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The top and bottom of the outer wall of each layer of the barrel 1 are fixedly connected with a folding edge 11, and two adjacent folding edges 11 are connected by a connecting piece. The edge of the warehouse top 2 is provided with a folding edge 21, and the folding edge 21 is connected to the folding edge 11 at the top of the topmost barrel 1 through a connecting piece.

[0044] In the present invention, the top and bottom of the outer wall of each layer of the cylinder body 1 are fixedly connected with a folded edge 11. The design of the folded edge 11 not only enhances the overall strength of the cylinder body 1, but also plays a role of fixing and sealing. The two adjacent folded edges 11 are connected by a connecting piece, which ensures the stability and close connection between each layer of the cylinder body 1, and avoids the loosening or deformation of the structure caused by external force or material pressure during the use of the silo, so that each layer of the cylinder body 1 forms a solid module with good pressure resistance and seismic resistance. The edge of the silo top 2 is provided with a folded edge 21, and the folded edge 21 is connected to the folded edge 11 at the top of the topmost cylinder body 1 through a connecting piece, which ensures the close connection between the silo top 2 and the cylinder body 1. The folded edge 21 is firmly connected to the folded edge 11 by the connecting piece, which can effectively prevent the appearance of a gap between the silo top 2 and the cylinder body 1, and avoid material leakage or external environment affecting the quality of the material.

[0045] Please see attached Figure 4 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 Both sides of the top surfaces of the plurality of branch plates 23 are fixedly connected with folding edge three 22, and two adjacent folding edge three 22 are connected by a connecting piece.

[0046] In the present invention, both sides of the top surfaces of multiple branch plates 23 are fixedly connected with folding edges 22. The folding edges 22 can enhance the structural stability and deformation resistance of the branch plates 23, and can provide better support and sealing performance for the connection during the assembly process, thereby ensuring the close connection between each branch plate 23. Through the coordinated use of the folding edges 22 and the connecting parts, the connection between the branch plates 23 is more secure, providing a reliable top cover structure for the entire silo, thereby ensuring its safety and long-term performance.

[0047] Please see attached Figure 5-Figure 12 The connecting member includes a bolt 4 or a connecting frame 5, the outer thread of the bolt 4 is connected with a nut, and the cross section of the connecting frame 5 is set to be U-shaped. When the connecting member is a bolt 4, the bolt 4 passes through the folding edge 11, the connecting plate 12, the folding edge 21 and the folding edge 3 22. When the connecting member is a connecting frame 5, the connecting frame 5 is sleeved on the outside of the folding edge 11, the connecting plate 12, the folding edge 21 and the folding edge 3 22. The connecting frame 5 is set to be made of carbon fiber material, and carbon fiber adhesive is filled between the connecting frame 5 and the folding edge 11, the connecting plate 12, the folding edge 21 and the folding edge 3 22.

[0048] In the present invention, the connecting member is in the form of a bolt 4 or a connecting frame 5:

[0049] Bolt 4 connection: When bolt 4 is used as the connecting piece, the external threaded part of bolt 4 is used in conjunction with the nut to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection. During the installation process, first apply carbon fiber adhesive to the connection part, and use the carbon fiber adhesive to fill the tiny gap between the bolt 4 and the component, which can effectively prevent external substances such as moisture and dust from penetrating into the connection part to avoid corrosion or leakage problems. Then, bolt 4 passes through the folded edge 11, the connecting plate 12, the folded edge 21 and the folded edge 3 22, and then the bolt 4 is tightened by the nut, so that the components can be firmly connected, ensuring that the silo structure has high strength and stability during use. The combination of bolt 4 and nut can withstand greater mechanical stress, ensuring that the connection part is not easy to loosen or fall off, thereby improving the safety and durability of the silo.

[0050] Connecting frame 5: When the connecting part adopts connecting frame 5, the cross-section of connecting frame 5 is designed to be U-shaped, and is sleeved on the outside of folding edge 11, connecting plate 12, folding edge 21 and folding edge 3 22. Connecting frame 5 is made of carbon fiber material, which is light, high-strength and has excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring that the connecting part has a long service life. During installation, carbon fiber adhesive will be filled between connecting frame 5 and folding edge 11, connecting plate 12, folding edge 21 and folding edge 3 22, so that the sealing and bonding strength between connecting frame 5 and various components can be improved, ensuring the stability of the connecting part in long-term use. The use of carbon fiber adhesive not only enhances the firmness of connecting frame 5, but also avoids the aging problem of traditional rubber pad seal, thereby improving the overall sealing and corrosion resistance of silo.

[0051] Through these two connection methods, the various parts of the silo can be combined together efficiently and stably. Whether it is connected by bolts 4 or connection frame 5, carbon fiber adhesive plays a key role in strengthening the connection firmness, improving sealing performance and corrosion resistance. The use of carbon fiber adhesive can effectively enhance the overall structural stability of the silo, prevent material leakage or the influence of the external environment, and extend the service life of the silo.

[0052] Working principle: When in use, assemble the cylinder body 1 first. First, assemble the cylinder body 1 of the bottom layer of the silo. Since the adjacent connecting plates 12 are connected by connecting pieces, after connecting and assembling multiple cylinder bodies 1 into one layer of cylinder body 1, next, install the decompression cone 3 on the inner bottom of the bottom cylinder body 1, and then build the subsequent cylinder body 1, and each other layer of cylinder body 1 can be placed on the already built cylinder body 1 layer by layer in a disassembled state or an assembled state, and use the connecting piece to firmly connect the folded edge 11 on each layer of the cylinder body 1 together, so that the multiple layers of cylinder body 1 can be integrated, and then assemble the silo roof 2. First, splice multiple branch plates 23 into the silo roof 2, and then lift the silo roof 2 through the lifting equipment and align it with the top of the cylinder body 1, and then use the connecting piece to connect the folded edge 21 of the silo roof 2 with the folded edge 11 on the top of the cylinder body 1, so as to ensure that the silo roof 2 and the cylinder body 1 of the silo are tightly combined to prevent material leakage;

[0053] The connecting parts are divided into two forms: bolts 4 nuts and connecting frames 5. The specific usage is as follows:

[0054] Bolt 4 nut connection: When the connection part adopts bolt 4, firstly, apply carbon fiber adhesive on the contact surface of adjacent parts to ensure better bonding performance between the contact surfaces, then pass the bolt 4 through the contact surface of the adjacent parts, and then install the nut on the bolt 4 to tighten it;

[0055] Connecting frame 5: When the connecting part adopts connecting frame 5, firstly, carbon fiber adhesive is applied to the contact surfaces of adjacent parts to ensure tight bonding between the contact surfaces. Then, carbon fiber adhesive is applied to the inner wall of connecting frame 5, and then connecting frame 5 is clamped on the outside of the two adjacent parts.

[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
