Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guar gum production technology, and in particular to a moisture-proof storage device for guar gum. Background Technology

[0002] Guar gum is a natural polysaccharide extracted from guar bean seeds, belonging to the galactomannan family. Due to its excellent thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties, it is widely used in various fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, oil extraction, and papermaking. Since moisture in nature can easily cause guar gum to become damp and deteriorate, it needs to be stored in a moisture-proof manner to ensure its dryness.

[0003] Currently, guar gum is commonly stored using a double-bag sealing method, with an outer woven bag and an inner plastic bag. While this packaging method provides some moisture protection, its protective performance is significantly lacking during transportation. Because the bag material is relatively fragile, it is easily torn by impacts or scratches from sharp objects. Once the seal is broken, the guar gum will be exposed to a humid environment, leading to moisture absorption and deterioration, severely impacting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention relates to a moisture-proof storage device for guar gum. It uses a rotating snap-fit ​​method to assemble the sealing lid onto the top of the storage tank. This design greatly simplifies the opening and closing of the sealing lid. After the sealing lid is connected to the top of the storage tank, the rubber ring on it will fit tightly against the storage tank to form a reliable sealing structure, effectively isolating external moisture and thus preventing the guar gum inside the storage tank from deteriorating due to moisture. It has excellent protective performance.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a guar gum moisture-proof storage device, specifically comprising: a storage bucket, a sealing lid, a rubber ring, movable pins, a rotating block, and transmission links; the sealing lid is fastened to the top of the storage bucket, and a rubber ring is fitted on the sealing lid, wherein the rubber ring is attached to the inner wall of the storage bucket when the sealing lid is fastened; four movable pins that cooperate with the storage bucket are installed circumferentially on the sealing lid, and the movable pins slide with the sealing lid; a rotating block is rotatably disposed inside the sealing lid, and four transmission links are rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating block, the other end of the transmission links being rotatably connected to the movable pins; a locking component is provided between the rotating block and the sealing lid.

[0006] Furthermore, the top of the storage bucket is inserted into the sealed bucket lid, and a locking block is arranged around the outside of the storage bucket. An L-shaped locking groove is arranged around the outside of the sealed bucket lid, and the locking block is connected to the L-shaped locking groove.

[0007] The locking block is connected to the L-shaped slot by snapping and rotating, so that the sealing lid is connected to the top of the storage tank, making it easier to open and close the sealing lid. When the sealing lid is connected to the top of the storage tank, the rubber ring contacts the storage tank, which achieves a sealing effect on the guar rubber inside the storage tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealed barrel lid has an inner cavity that cooperates with the rotating block. Four guide holes are arranged around the outside of the inner cavity, and four locking grooves corresponding to the guide holes are arranged around the inside of the storage barrel. The movable pin slides through the guide hole, and the end of the movable pin is inserted into the locking groove.

[0009] When the locking block moves to the innermost end of the L-shaped slot, the guide hole and the locking groove are connected, and the movable pin moves outward, so that the end of the movable pin is inserted into the locking groove. The movable pin locks and fixes the sealing barrel lid. The rotating block is connected to the four movable pins through the transmission link. Rotating the rotating block drives the four movable pins to move synchronously through the transmission link.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a lock and a movable spring. The upper end of the rotating block has six mounting slots arranged in a circular array, and the top of the inner cavity has six positioning slots arranged in a circular array. The movable spring is slidably connected to one of the mounting slots. A spring is installed in each mounting slot, with its bottom contacting the mounting slot and its top contacting the bottom of the movable spring. The top of the movable spring is inserted into the positioning slot. The top of the sealing lid is provided with a lock that cooperates with the movable spring. When the rotating block moves the movable pin to its outermost position, the mounting slot and the positioning slot connect. The movable spring moves upward under the influence of the spring's thrust, causing its top to insert into the positioning slot, thus fixing the rotating block in place.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking component consists of a main component and an auxiliary component, which are rotatably connected. The bottom of the main component is provided with a hexagonal prism, and the rotating block is provided with a hexagonal groove, into which the hexagonal prism is inserted.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the accessory is surrounded by a post, and the top of the sealing barrel cover is surrounded by a through hole. The through hole communicates with the positioning groove. The diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the positioning groove. The length of the post is the sum of the depths of the through hole and the positioning groove. The post is inserted into the through hole and the positioning groove, and the bottom of the post contacts the top of the movable spring post.

[0013] When the sealed barrel lid needs to be opened, connect the locking device to the top of the sealed barrel lid, insert the hexagonal prism into the hexagonal groove, and insert the pin into the positioning groove through the through hole. The pin pushes open the movable spring pin, so that the movable spring pin is completely in the assembly groove. The rotating block is unlocked, and the main component can drive the rotating block to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating block drives the four movable pins to move outward through the transmission linkage, so that the ends of the movable pins separate from the locking groove. The sealed barrel lid is unlocked, and the sealed barrel lid can be rotated in the opposite direction to open the sealed barrel lid.

[0014] This invention provides a moisture-proof storage device for guar gum, which has the following beneficial effects: In use, this invention employs a rotating snap-fit ​​method to assemble the sealing lid onto the top of the storage tank, greatly simplifying the opening and closing process. Once the sealing lid is connected to the top of the storage tank, the rubber ring on it fits tightly against the tank, forming a reliable seal that effectively isolates external moisture, preventing the guar gum inside from deteriorating due to dampness. During lid installation, the locking block moves along the L-shaped groove. When the block reaches the innermost end of the groove, the guide hole and locking groove are aligned. At this point, the movable pin moves outward under the corresponding mechanism, its end precisely inserting into the locking groove to lock the lid, effectively preventing reverse rotation and ensuring the guar gum inside the storage tank remains in a good moisture-proof and sealed state. Furthermore, by rotating the rotating block, which, via a transmission linkage, synchronously drives the four movable pins to move inward and outward, ensuring the synchronicity of their movements and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire sealing and locking system.

[0015] Furthermore, when the rotating block moves the movable pin to its outermost position, the assembly slot and the positioning slot are connected. At this time, the movable spring moves upward under the action of the spring force, and its top smoothly inserts into the positioning slot, thereby fixing the rotating block through the movable spring, thus indirectly ensuring the stability of the movable pin. When it is necessary to open the sealed barrel lid to access the guar gum in the storage barrel, first connect the locking device to the top of the sealed barrel lid, so that the hexagonal prism is accurately inserted into the hexagonal slot. At the same time, the pin is inserted into the positioning slot through the through hole. The pin pushes the movable spring open, so that it is completely retracted into the assembly slot. At this time, the locking state of the rotating block is released. Then, the main component drives the rotating block to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating block then drives the four movable pins to move outward through the transmission linkage, so that the ends of the movable pins disengage from the locking slots. The locking state of the sealed barrel lid is released, and then the sealed barrel lid can be rotated in the opposite direction to open it. The design requires a lock to open the sealed container lid, and the lock is stored separately. This measure effectively prevents unauthorized personnel from opening the sealed container lid at will, thereby preventing the guar gum inside from becoming damp and deteriorating due to the lid being opened arbitrarily.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below 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 described 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.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 Example 1: This invention proposes a moisture-proof storage device for guar gum, comprising: a storage tank 1, a sealing lid 2, a rubber ring 3, movable pins 4, a rotating block 5, and transmission links 6; the sealing lid 2 is fastened to the top of the storage tank 1, and a rubber ring 3 is fitted on the sealing lid 2, with the rubber ring 3 adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1 when the sealing lid 2 is fastened; four movable pins 4 are circumferentially mounted on the sealing lid 2, which cooperate with the storage tank 1, and the movable pins 4 slide with the sealing lid 2; a rotating block 5 is rotatably arranged inside the sealing lid 2, and four transmission links 6 are rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating block 5, with the other end of the transmission links 6 rotatably connected to the movable pins 4; a locking component is provided between the rotating block 5 and the sealing lid 2. The locking assembly includes a lock 9 and movable springs 7. Six movable springs 7 are installed around the inside of the rotating block 5, and the movable springs 7 are connected to the sealing lid 2. The top of the sealing lid 2 is connected to the lock 9, which is connected to the rotating block 5. The top of the storage bucket 1 is inserted into the sealing lid 2. The rubber ring 3 contacts the storage bucket 1 and the sealing lid 2 on both sides respectively. The storage bucket 1 is surrounded by a locking block 101, and the sealing lid 2 is surrounded by an L-shaped locking groove 201. The locking block 101 is connected to the L-shaped locking groove 201. The sealing lid 2 is connected to the top of the storage bucket 1 by a rotating locking method, making it easier to open the sealing lid 2. When the sealing lid 2 is connected to the top of the storage bucket 1, the rubber ring 3 contacts the storage bucket 1, which seals the guar gum inside the storage bucket 1, effectively preventing the guar gum inside from getting damp and deteriorating.

[0023] In this embodiment, the sealed barrel cover 2 is provided with an inner cavity 202, and a guide hole 2021 is provided around the outside of the inner cavity 202. A locking groove 102 is provided around the inside of the storage barrel 1. The locking groove 102 communicates with the guide hole 2021. The movable pin 4 slides through the guide hole 2021, and the end of the movable pin 4 is inserted into the locking groove 102. Using the above technical solution, when the card block 101 moves to the innermost end of the L-shaped card slot 201, the guide hole 2021 is in communication with the locking slot 102, and the movable pin 4 moves outward so that the end of the movable pin 4 is inserted into the locking slot 102. The movable pin 4 plays a role in locking and fixing the sealing barrel cover 2, preventing the sealing barrel cover 2 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby ensuring the moisture-proof and sealing effect of the guar gum inside the storage barrel 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotating block 5 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity 202, one end of the transmission link 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 5, and the other end of the transmission link 6 is rotatably connected to the movable pin 4. The rotating block 5 is connected to the four movable pins 4 through the transmission link 6. Using the above technical solution, rotating block 5 is rotated, and rotating block 5 drives four movable pins 4 to move synchronously through transmission link 6, ensuring the synchronicity of the inward and outward movement of the four movable pins 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, a positioning groove 2022 is arranged around the top of the inner cavity 202, and an assembly groove 502 is arranged around the inside of the rotating block 5. The top of the assembly groove 502 is connected to the positioning groove 2022. The length of the movable spring 7 is greater than the depth of the positioning groove 2022. The movable spring 7 is slidably connected in the assembly groove 502. The top of the movable spring 7 is inserted into the positioning groove 2022. A spring 8 is installed in the assembly groove 502. The bottom of the spring 8 is in contact with the assembly groove 502, and the top of the spring 8 is in contact with the bottom of the movable spring 7. Using the above technical solution, when the rotating block 5 drives the movable pin 4 to move to the outermost end, the assembly groove 502 is connected to the positioning groove 2022. The movable spring 7 moves upward under the influence of the spring 8, so that the top of the movable spring 7 is inserted into the positioning groove 2022. The rotating block 5 is fixed by the movable spring 7, thereby indirectly fixing the movable pin 4 and ensuring the stability of the movable pin 4.

[0026] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the lock 9 is composed of a main component 91 and an auxiliary component 92. The main component 91 and the auxiliary component 92 are rotatably connected. The bottom of the main component 91 is provided with a hexagonal prism 911. The rotating block 5 is provided with a hexagonal groove 501. The hexagonal prism 911 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 501. The bottom of the auxiliary component 92 is surrounded by a pin 921. The top of the sealing barrel cover 2 is surrounded by a through hole 203. The through hole 203 communicates with the positioning groove 2022. The diameter of the through hole 203 is smaller than the groove diameter of the positioning groove 2022. The length of the pin 921 is the sum of the depths of the through hole 203 and the positioning groove 2022. The pin 921 is inserted into the through hole 203 and the positioning groove 2022. The bottom of the pin 921 contacts the top of the movable spring pin 7. Using the above technical solution, when it is necessary to open the sealed lid 2 to access the guar gum inside the storage bucket 1, the locking piece 9 is connected to the top of the sealed lid 2, the hexagonal prism 911 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 501, and the insert 921 is inserted into the positioning groove 2022 through the through hole 203. The insert 921 pushes open the movable spring 7, so that the movable spring 7 is completely located in the assembly groove 502. The rotating block 5 is unlocked, and the main piece 91 drives the rotating block 5 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating block 5 drives the four movable pins 4 to move outward through the transmission connecting rod 6, so that the ends of the movable pins 4 separate from the locking groove 102. The sealed lid 2 is unlocked, and the sealed lid 2 can be rotated in the opposite direction to open the sealed lid 2. The sealing lid 2 can only be opened with the help of the locking piece 9. The locking piece 9 is stored separately, which effectively prevents unauthorized personnel from opening it at will, which could lead to the guar gum inside becoming damp and deteriorating.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the sealing lid 2 is installed on the top of the storage bucket 1 by a rotating snap-fit, the locking block 101 moves to the innermost end of the L-shaped slot 201, and the guide hole 2021 communicates with the locking groove 102, connecting the locking piece 9 to the top of the sealing lid 2. The hexagonal prism 911 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 501, and the insert pin 921 is inserted into the positioning groove 2022 through the through hole 203. The insert pin 921 pushes open the movable spring pin 7, so that the movable spring pin 7 is completely located in the assembly groove 502. Once block 5 is unlocked, the main component 91 drives the rotating block 5 to rotate forward. The rotating block 5, via the transmission linkage 6, moves the four movable pins 4 outward, causing the ends of the movable pins 4 to insert into the locking grooves 102. The movable pins 4 then lock and fix the sealing lid 2, preventing it from rotating in the opposite direction. The rubber ring 3 contacts the storage container 1, sealing the guar gum inside and effectively preventing it from becoming damp and deteriorating. After the rotating block 5 has been adjusted, Separate the locking piece 9 from the top of the sealed lid 2 and store it separately. The assembly groove 502 and the positioning groove 2022 are now in a connected state. The movable spring 7 moves upward under the influence of the spring 8, so that the top of the movable spring 7 is inserted into the positioning groove 2022. The movable spring 7 fixes the rotating block 5, thereby indirectly fixing the movable pin 4 and ensuring the stability of the movable pin 4. When it is necessary to open the sealed lid 2 to access the guar gum inside the storage barrel 1, connect the locking piece 9 to the top of the sealed lid 2 and repeat the above operation to release the rotating block 5 from the locked state. The main component 91 can then drive the rotating block 5 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating block 5 drives the four movable pins 4 to move outward through the transmission link 6, so that the ends of the movable pins 4 separate from the locking groove 102. The sealed lid 2 is then unlocked and can be rotated in the opposite direction to open the sealed lid 2. The need for the locking piece 9 to open the sealed lid 2 effectively prevents unauthorized personnel from opening it at will, which could lead to the deterioration of the guar gum inside.
