Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grain storage technology, specifically to an integrated equipment for grain storage and leveling. Background Technology

[0002] After grain is stored in the warehouse, it needs to be leveled as soon as possible. On the one hand, if the grain is piled unevenly (e.g., high in the middle, low around the edges, or excessively high in some areas), it may flow out due to gravity, forming "rat holes" or "collapses," damaging the warehouse structure (such as the warehouse walls and floor), and even causing safety accidents. On the other hand, by evenly spreading the grain, eliminating height differences, the weight of the grain pile is evenly distributed, avoiding excessive local pressure, and protecting the safety of the warehouse structure.

[0003] Currently, warehousing and leveling are mainly done manually, with only some sections using mechanical assistance. Personnel cannot work for extended periods in hot, enclosed, and dusty environments. There is currently no complete system for warehousing and leveling, so it cannot fully replace manual labor, and the work standards are not standardized. While leveling robots exist, they can only complete some tasks and cannot perform the entire system's work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an integrated equipment for grain storage and leveling, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity in grain storage and leveling caused by manual participation in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the integrated grain storage and leveling equipment provided by this invention adopts the following technical solution: A grain storage and leveling integrated equipment includes: The leveling machine body includes a longitudinal feeding section arranged at the top and a horizontal conveying section arranged at the bottom. The longitudinal feeding section is for grain to fall from top to bottom and enter the horizontal conveying section. At least one set of horizontally arranged leveling augers, the leveling augers consisting of two sections of leveling augers arranged in opposite directions to transport grain in different directions. The track is horizontally arranged inside the grain warehouse, and the leveling machine body is guided and installed on the track to level the grain through reciprocating motion.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the integrated grain silo leveling equipment provided by this invention are as follows: the leveling machine can move along the track to different positions in the grain silo, and through the cooperation of the longitudinal feeding section and the horizontal conveying section, precise conveying and unloading are achieved. Moreover, as the leveling machine moves on the track, it can not only unload at different positions in the grain silo, but also level the grain through its own movement, uniformly distributing the material, removing high parts, and filling in missing pits and depressions, making the overall grain surface uniform and flat. At the same time, it effectively reduces manual intervention, improves the efficiency of grain silo leveling, reduces labor intensity, and solves the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity in grain silo leveling caused by manual intervention in the prior art.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal feeding section is equipped with an automatic gate and a downward-sloping equalizing baffle. The equalizing baffle is used to control the slow entry of grain. The automatic gate and the equalizing baffle can work together to control the speed at which the grain falls, preventing the grain from entering the horizontal conveying section with a large impact force, damaging the leveling auger, and causing blockage.

[0008] Furthermore, the uniform feed baffle is an annular funnel structure, with its upper end fixed to the inner wall of the longitudinal feeding section and its lower end having a channel for grain to pass through. The annular funnel structure is a conventional structure, simple in design and low in cost, and is also widely available and easy to collect and use.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a dust removal and cleaning component, which is used to keep the grain in a negative pressure working state in the longitudinal feeding section.

[0010] Furthermore, the dust removal assembly includes a fan that draws air in through a duct. The duct is connected via a pipe to an air inlet located on the side wall of the longitudinal feeding section. As the grain enters, the air inlet carries away residual dust and fine impurities. The negative pressure effectively controls dust diffusion, further ensuring smoke-free and dust-free unloading.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the leveling machine body is connected to a scraper conveyor, and the fan is fixed on the scraper conveyor. The conveying trough of the scraper conveyor forms the air duct. By using a scraper conveyor to arrange the fan and form the air duct, costs are reduced and the utilization rate of the equipment is improved.

[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall of the longitudinal feeding section is provided with a plurality of through holes located below the material equalization baffle. Each through hole is evenly distributed circumferentially on the sidewall of the longitudinal feeding section, and each through hole constitutes the air inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the longitudinal feeding section is located in the middle of the horizontal conveying section, and the leveling auger group includes two leveling augers of the same length to simultaneously convey the grain that falls in the middle in opposite directions.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two longitudinal feeding sections, located at both ends of the horizontal conveying section along its length. The leveling auger assembly includes two leveling augers of the same length to simultaneously transport the grain falling from both ends toward the middle of the horizontal conveying section.

[0015] Furthermore, the leveling machine body has an observation port to facilitate operators in adjusting the working status of the leveling machine body according to the degree of grain entering the warehouse. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that the main concept of this invention is to integrate grain storage and leveling by using the leveling machine 1, thereby reducing the degree of manual intervention, improving the efficiency of grain storage and leveling, ensuring the flatness of the grain surface after storage, and solving the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity in grain storage and leveling caused by manual intervention in the prior art.

[0020] The principles and spirit of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0021] Embodiments of the integrated grain storage and leveling equipment provided by this invention: like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the integrated grain silo leveling and feeding equipment includes a leveling body 1, which includes a longitudinal feeding section 2 arranged at the top and a horizontal conveying section 3 arranged at the bottom. The longitudinal feeding section 2 allows grain to fall from top to bottom and enter the horizontal conveying section 3. The leveling body 1 has a horizontal leveling auger 4 set, which includes two leveling augers 4 arranged in opposite directions to convey the grain in different directions. Specifically, the leveling augers 4 are bottomless augers, allowing the grain to fall during the conveying process.

[0022] To achieve integrated grain loading and unloading, the grain silo is equipped with a track. The unloading machine 1 is guided and mounted on the track, and the lower end of the unloading machine 1 has guide wheels 5 for reciprocating motion to unload the grain. It should be noted that the unloading machine 1 is equipped with a motor, which is controlled by a wireless remote control. Simultaneously, the wireless remote control also controls the operation of the connected unloading auger 4.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal feeding section 2 is equipped with an automatic gate and a downward-sloping equalizing baffle 6. The equalizing baffle 6 is used to control the slow entry of grain. The automatic gate and the equalizing baffle 6 can work together to control the speed at which the grain falls, preventing the grain from entering the horizontal conveying section 3 with a large impact force, damaging the leveling auger 4, and causing blockage. Figure 2 The vertical arrow in the image represents the material feeding direction.

[0024] Furthermore, the uniform feed baffle 6 is an annular funnel structure, with its upper end fixed to the inner wall of the longitudinal feeding section 2 and its lower end having a channel 8 for grain to pass through. The annular funnel structure is a conventional structure, simple in structure and low in cost, and is also widely available and easy to collect and use. In other embodiments, the uniform feed baffle 6 may also be a plurality of inclined plates, which are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the longitudinal feeding section 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, to reduce smoke and dust during grain descent, the entire device also includes a dust removal and cleaning component. This component maintains a negative pressure state for the grain in the longitudinal feeding section 2. The component includes a fan that draws air in through a duct. The duct is connected to an air inlet 7 located on the side wall of the longitudinal feeding section 2. The air inlet 7 draws air in as the grain enters, carrying away residual dust and fine impurities. The negative pressure effectively controls dust diffusion, further ensuring smoke-free and dust-free unloading. Figure 2 The horizontal arrow in the image represents the direction of air intake.

[0026] Since grain is generally transported by scraper conveyors, in this embodiment, the upper end of the leveling machine body 1 is connected to a scraper conveyor (not shown in the figure), and the fan is fixed on the scraper conveyor. The conveying trough of the scraper conveyor forms the air duct. Using a scraper conveyor to arrange the fan and form the air duct reduces costs and improves equipment usability. In other embodiments, the fan can also be installed at a separate location.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the sidewall of the longitudinal feeding section 2 has multiple through holes located below the material equalization baffle 6. These through holes are evenly distributed circumferentially on the sidewall of the longitudinal feeding section 2, and each through hole constitutes the air inlet 7. In this way, a negative pressure environment is maintained throughout the operation, effectively controlling dust diffusion.

[0028] There are two ways to arrange the Pingcang Jiaolong 4. One method can be referred to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal feeding section 2 is located in the middle of the horizontal conveying section 3, and the flattening auger 4 group includes two flattening augers 4 of the same length to simultaneously convey the grain that falls in the middle in opposite directions.

[0029] In another method, there are two longitudinal feeding sections 2, located at both ends of the horizontal conveying section 3 along its length. The leveling auger 4 group includes two leveling augers 4 of the same length, so as to simultaneously transport the grain falling from both ends towards the middle of the horizontal conveying section 3.

[0030] In other embodiments, the four groups of leveling dragons can also be two groups perpendicular to each other, that is, the falling grain can spread in all directions at the same time. Those skilled in the art can adjust the number of the four groups of leveling dragons according to actual needs.

[0031] Finally, the leveling machine 1 has an observation port to facilitate operators in adjusting its working status according to the degree of grain storage. That is, the working status of the leveling machine 1 can be adjusted via a wireless remote control.

[0032] The working principle of the integrated grain silo leveling equipment provided by this invention is as follows: the leveling machine body 1 is aligned with the scraper conveyor, and the fan is turned on at the same time. The automatic gate on the longitudinal feeding section 2 of the leveling machine body 1 is opened to start unloading the grain. At the same time, the leveling auger 4 starts to work, conveying the grain to all sides to complete the grain silo entry. During this process, the dust removal component takes in air through the air inlet 7 to remove residual dust and fine impurities, avoids dust diffusion, and ensures that there is no smoke or dust when unloading. Operators observe the grain entering the warehouse through the observation window. After the grain is stored, the leveling auger 4 is stopped by the wireless remote control. At the same time, the leveling machine 1 is driven to move along the track. The reciprocating movement achieves leveling, evens out the material, removes the high parts, fills the missing pits and depressions, and makes the overall grain surface uniform and flat.

[0033] Based on the above description in this specification, those skilled in the art will also understand that terms used, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "width," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" (etc.), which indicate orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.

[0034] In addition, in the description of this specification, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.
