Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a straw bale storage support. Background Art

[0002] In modern agricultural operations, straw is compressed into compact bales by balers, which greatly facilitates the storage and transportation of straw. When making bales, a central gap is usually retained to reduce moisture accumulation, thereby reducing the risk of mildew. Although baling technology optimizes the primary processing of straw, there are still problems in the storage link. The traditional bale stacking method is relatively random. In a humid environment, disorderly stacked bales are easily deformed due to squeezing, especially bales with hollow structures inside are more susceptible to damage, causing the internal straw to become damp and moldy, seriously affecting the quality of feed.

[0003] In response to the above problems, there are shelf designs with moisture-proof functions in the existing technology. For example, a Chinese utility model patent for "storage shelf with anti-sway and moisture-proof function" is disclosed, and the publication number is CN219884741U. Specifically, a storage shelf with anti-sway and moisture-proof function is disclosed, including a bottom plate, a connecting mechanism, an adjustment mechanism and an exhaust and dehumidification mechanism. A top plate is horizontally arranged above the bottom plate, and the bottom plate and the top plate are parallel to each other. Hollow columns are vertically arranged on the four corners of the bottom plate and the top plate. A number of placement frames are horizontally arranged between the bottom plate and the top plate, and a number of support bars for supporting goods are horizontally installed on the inner wall of the placement frame; the exhaust and dehumidification mechanism is arranged at the lower end of the placement frame, and is used to discharge the humid air above the placement frame to prevent the humid air from corroding the goods and packaging. However, although the shelf in the utility model patent can effectively exhaust external moisture through the exhaust and dehumidification mechanism, it is still difficult to avoid moisture accumulation in the center of the bale in view of the large volume of the bale and in a humid environment, thereby increasing the risk of mildew in the center of the bale. Therefore, the storage shelf with anti-sway and moisture-proof function mentioned above is not ideal for removing moisture in the center of the bale. Summary of the invention

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a bale storage rack, comprising: a hollow supporting column 1, a hollow horizontal connecting beam 3 and a bale carrying plate 2, wherein a plurality of supporting columns 1 are provided, and an air flow inlet 11 is provided on one side of the supporting column 1; a plurality of horizontal connecting beams 3 are provided, wherein the horizontal connecting beams 3 are vertically connected to the supporting columns 1 and communicate with the interior of the supporting columns 1, and a plurality of exhaust holes 31 are evenly provided on the horizontal connecting beams 3, and the exhaust holes 31 are aligned with the central axis of the bale; the bale carrying plate 2 is installed between adjacent supporting columns 1 and is located below the horizontal connecting beams 3.

[0022] Specifically, during installation, an appropriate number of support columns 1 are selected, and they are firmly buried vertically or fixed on the ground or platform. They can be ensured to be stable and not shaken by pre-embedding, fixing with expansion bolts, etc. An airflow inlet 11 is reserved on one side of the support column 1, and the airflow inlet 11 should be connected to the internal hollow area to facilitate the subsequent airflow input. Under normal circumstances, a fan or other air delivery device can be used to connect to the airflow inlet 11 of the support column 1 to deliver the treated dry airflow to the inside of the support column 1. Several horizontal connecting beams 3 are connected to the support column 1 by welding or plugging, and the two are tightly sealed to ensure that the horizontal connecting beam 3 is completely connected to the inside of the support column 1 to form an airflow channel. The exhaust hole 31 on the horizontal connecting beam 3 is integrally formed, and when installing the horizontal connecting beam 3, it must be ensured that the exhaust hole 31 on it coincides with the central axis when the bale is expected to be placed. Position according to the actual size of the bale to ensure that the airflow can be directly aimed at the center of the bale to achieve the best ventilation effect. The bale carrier plate 2 is installed between adjacent support columns 1 and below the horizontal connecting beam 3. The bale carrier plate 2 can be connected to the support columns 1 by welding, bolting or hanging to ensure its load-bearing capacity and stability. At the same time, the height of the bale carrier plate 2 should be adjusted to a level suitable for bale stacking and the exhaust hole 31 should be directly facing the center of the bale to ensure that the bale is effectively ventilated and dried during storage.

[0023] The above technical solution adopted by the straw bale storage bracket provided in the present application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The bale carrying plate 2 is installed between adjacent supporting columns 1, and its position design allows the exhaust holes 31 on the horizontal connecting beam 3 to be directly aligned with the central axis of the bale, ensuring that the airflow can directly reach the inside of the bale, more thoroughly removing moisture and further improving the quality of forage storage; the airflow input port 11 arranged on one side of the supporting column 1 can introduce dry or cooling airflow to ventilate and dehumidify the bales stored on the bale storage rack.

[0025] Based on the above solution, an air guide duct 32 is mounted on the exhaust hole 31 .

[0026] Specifically, the air duct 32 adopts a concentric reducer to achieve a smooth transition and effective docking between the air duct 32 and the center of the straw bale. The end of the air duct 32 with a larger diameter matches the diameter of the exhaust hole 31, and is provided with a connecting device, such as a flange, a buckle or an adhesive joint, for tightly fixing with the exhaust hole 31. During specific installation, the end of the air duct 32 with a larger diameter is aligned and inserted into the exhaust hole 31, and it is firmly fixed to the horizontal connecting beam 3 through fasteners (such as flanges, clamps, etc.), and the end of the air duct 32 with a smaller diameter penetrates into the internal hollow of the straw bale, so that it can effectively introduce external gas to achieve an ideal ventilation effect.

[0027] In one embodiment, an air circulation passage 23 is provided inside the bale supporting plate 2 , and the air circulation passage 23 is connected to the interior of the supporting column 1 . A plurality of ventilation holes 21 are provided on the bale supporting plate 2 , and the ventilation holes 21 are connected to the air circulation passage 23 .

[0028] Specifically, without affecting the bearing function, one or more suitable air circulation passages 23 are provided inside the bale bearing plate 2. The air circulation passage 23 can be integrated into the internal structure of the bale bearing plate 2 by casting, welding, assembly, etc., to ensure that the inside is unobstructed. Secondly, a number of ventilation holes 21 are opened at appropriate positions of the bale bearing plate 2, and the ventilation holes 21 should accurately correspond to and communicate with the internal air circulation passage 23. In the supporting column 1, the corresponding internal space is also reserved to connect with the air circulation passage 23 of the bale bearing plate 2, and the two can form a continuous airflow path by opening, pipe connection, etc. In the assembly process, the bale bearing plate 2 with ventilation holes 21 and built-in air circulation passage 23 is accurately connected with the supporting column 1 to ensure that the internal channels of the two are seamlessly connected to form an effective air circulation system, so as to facilitate the air exchange inside and outside the bale, reduce moisture accumulation, and maintain a good storage environment for the bale.

[0029] In one embodiment, the bale carrying board 2 is a curved board.

[0030] Specifically, the bale carrying plate 2 is kept in a horizontal state as a whole, and an arc-shaped groove matching the outer contour of the circular bale is provided on the upper surface of the middle area. The length and width of the bale carrying plate 2 depend on the size of the bale carried, and the arc of the groove is customized according to the diameter of the bale. For circular or elliptical bales, the arc-shaped bale carrying plate 2 can better disperse the pressure of the bale, provide more uniform support, reduce local stress concentration, and enhance the stability of the carrying plate.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bale carrying board 2 is a horizontal placement board.

[0032] Specifically, the bale supporting plate 2 adopts a plate-shaped structure design. For square bales, the plate-shaped structure can provide a large supporting surface, which can evenly disperse the pressure caused by the weight of the bale and ensure that the bale is stably stored.

[0033] In one embodiment, grooves 22 are provided on opposite sides of the bale carrying plate 2 .

[0034] Specifically, the grooves 22 are usually made directly on both sides of the bale carrier plate 2 by integrated molding technology or post-processing methods (such as cutting, milling, etc.), forming a groove structure with appropriate width and depth. Among them, the width of the groove 22 should be greater than the width of the conventional forklift fork to ensure that the forklift can be smoothly inserted and removed; and the depth should ensure smooth operation of the forklift during the loading and unloading of the bale. In the length direction of the bale carrier plate 2, that is, the direction of the bale entering and exiting, the two grooves 22 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically. When loading and unloading bales, the staff can quickly complete the loading and unloading of the bales according to the preset positions of the grooves 22, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0035] In one embodiment, the bale storage support further comprises an anti-skid base 4 , and the anti-skid base 4 is arranged at the bottom end of the supporting column 1 .

[0036] Specifically, the anti-skid base 4 is usually made of wear-resistant and anti-skid materials and has a large area to provide sufficient stability and bearing capacity. The lower end of the support column 1 is fixedly mounted on the anti-skid base 4, which can be directly welded, bolted or embedded to ensure a stable mechanical connection between the two. The anti-skid base 4 increases the contact area between the support column 1 and the ground, enhances the overall stability of the bale storage rack, and can effectively prevent sliding or tipping due to uneven external force when placing the bale on the bale storage rack using a forklift or other tool.

[0037] In one embodiment, the bale storage rack further comprises a moisture-proof plate 5 and a metal reinforced bottom plate 6, wherein the moisture-proof plate 5 is arranged on a side of the anti-slip base 4 away from the supporting column 1, and the metal reinforced bottom plate 6 is arranged on a side of the moisture-proof plate 5 away from the anti-slip base 4.

[0038] Specifically, in the structure of the bale storage bracket, the metal reinforcement base plate 6 is firmly installed on the ground, mainly used to increase the basic strength of the bale storage bracket, resist the vertical load from the weight of the bale, and prevent the ground from being damaged due to excessive load. The connection method between the metal reinforcement base plate 6 and the ground includes anchoring or other forms of fixed connection to ensure stability and reliability. On this basis, the moisture-proof board 5 is laid on the metal reinforcement base plate 6, and its function is to isolate moisture and water in the soil and prevent moisture from rising to the bottom of the bale, causing the bale to mold and deteriorate. The moisture-proof board 5 and the metal reinforcement base plate 6 can be tightly bonded by an adhesive, or fixed by fasteners such as screws and buckles. Finally, the anti-skid base 4 is installed on the top of the moisture-proof board 5, providing a non-skid basic platform for the support column 1 to ensure the stability of the bale bracket. The connection between the anti-skid base 4 and the moisture-proof board 5 also needs to be stable, which can be achieved by gluing, screw fixing or nesting fixing.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express the way of equipment layout of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application; it should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several adjustments and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, which all belong to the scope of protection of the present application; therefore, the scope of protection of the patent of this application should be based on the attached claims.
