The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] The utility model provides a temporary storage silo for foam particles, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the foam particle temporary storage silo includes: a base 1; a mounting frame 2, the mounting frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1; a collecting bucket 3, the collecting bucket 3 is mounted on the mounting frame 2, the collecting bucket 3 is used to collect foam particles and guide the foam particles to be discharged; a metal mesh ring 4, the metal mesh ring 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the collecting bucket 3, the metal mesh ring 4 is used to assist in heat dissipation of the foam particles; a top cover 5, the top cover 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the metal mesh ring 4, the top cover 5 is used to close the collecting bucket 3 to prevent the foam particles from being blown out of the collecting bucket 3; a cooling component, the cooling component is arranged on the mounting frame 2, the cooling component is used to assist in reducing the temperature of the foam particles.

[0022] In this embodiment, the base 1 serves as the foundation of the entire temporary storage silo, which provides stable support to ensure that the entire device can be firmly placed in the working environment. The collecting bucket 3 is used to collect foam particles and guide them for discharge. The metal mesh ring 4 not only provides good air permeability, allowing the foam particles to dissipate heat better, but also because of its metal material, it has higher strength and durability than the mesh storage bag, and is not easy to be damaged, thereby ensuring the safety of the foam particles. The design of the top cover 5 takes into account sealing and safety, and can effectively prevent the influence of wind, dust and other factors in the external environment on the foam particles. The cooling component is used to assist in reducing the temperature of the foam particles.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the cooling component includes a fan 9, a cooling pipe 10 and a cooling box 11, the fan 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 2, the cooling pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the exhaust end of the fan 9, the cooling pipe 10 extends into the top cover 5, the cooling box 11 is fixedly installed on the top cover 5, the cooling box 11 is sleeved outside the cooling pipe 10, and the cooling box 11 is filled with ice cubes.

[0024] In this embodiment, the function of the fan 9 is to generate a continuous airflow. When the fan 9 is started, air is sucked in and passes through the interior thereof, and then discharged from the exhaust end. The air discharged by the fan 9 will directly enter the cooling pipe 10. The cooling pipe 10 extends into the top cover 5 to ensure that the cold air can directly act on the foam particles in the silo to achieve rapid cooling. The ice cubes will absorb a large amount of heat during the melting process, thereby reducing the air temperature in the cooling pipe 10. When the hot air discharged by the fan 9 passes through the cooling pipe 10, it will exchange heat with the cold air in the cooling box 11, so that the air temperature is further reduced. The cooling component not only utilizes the wind power of the fan 9, but also combines the cooling effects of the cooling pipe 10 and the cooling box 11, thereby achieving efficient cooling of the foam particles. At the same time, since the ice cubes in the cooling box 11 can be replaced regularly, the durability of the cooling effect is guaranteed.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the collecting bucket 3 and the bottom of the top cover 5 are fixedly installed with a limiting cylinder 6, and threaded blocks 7 are threadedly installed in the two limiting cylinders 6, and guide pipes 8 for guiding the discharge of foam particles are rotatably installed on the two threaded blocks 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, the opening of the limiting cylinder 6 can be exposed by removing the threaded block 7. This design allows the foam particles to flow more smoothly during the discharge process, reducing the possibility of blockage and accumulation. The use of the guide tube 8 also makes the discharge of the foam particles more concentrated and orderly, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a material guide cover 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the cooling pipe 10, and the material guide cover 13 is located directly below any one of the limiting cylinders 6. A plurality of exhaust ports 19 are provided on the cooling pipe 10, and an isolation mesh cover 12 is fixedly installed on the cooling pipe 10, and the isolation mesh cover 12 is sleeved outside the plurality of exhaust ports 19.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material guide cover 13 can effectively prevent foam particles from entering the cooling pipe 10, and at the same time ensure that the particles can fully contact the cold air during the discharge process, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. The exhaust port 19 can not only enhance the circulation effect of the cold air, but also ensure that the temperature inside the silo is evenly distributed. The isolation mesh cover 12 is mounted outside the exhaust port 19, which can effectively block the entry of particles and impurities and ensure the normal operation of the cooling pipe 10.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a U-shaped plate 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, electric guide rails 15 are fixedly installed on the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped plate 14, and static eliminators 16 are fixedly installed on the moving parts of the two electric guide rails 15, and the two static eliminators 16 are respectively located on both sides of the collecting bucket 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the design of the U-shaped plate 14 not only provides a stable installation platform for the electric guide rail 15 and the static eliminator 16, but also ensures that they can be accurately aligned with the two sides of the collecting bucket 3. The electric guide rail 15 is responsible for driving the static eliminator 16 to move precisely, so that it can cover a wider area and more effectively eliminate the static electricity on the foam particles. The function of the static eliminator 16 is to eliminate the static electricity generated by the foam particles during friction, collision, etc. Static electricity may not only cause the adsorption and agglomeration of the foam particles, affecting the smoothness of the discharge, but may also interfere with other equipment in the silo.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of universal wheels 17 are provided at the bottom of the base 1, a self-locking structure is provided on each of the plurality of universal wheels 17, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly provided on each of the plurality of universal wheels 17.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple universal wheels 17 enable the silo to be easily moved in different locations, making it convenient for operators to place it at the required location, and the design of the self-locking structure ensures that the silo can stay stably in place when it needs to be fixed, preventing movement or tipping due to external force or vibration. The introduction of the anti-slip sleeve further enhances the friction between the universal wheel 17 and the ground, thereby improving the stability and safety of the silo during movement.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, batteries are provided in both of the two static eliminators 16 , and a filter box 18 is detachably installed at the air inlet end of the fan 9 , and the filter box 18 is filled with filter material.

[0034] In this embodiment, the battery enables the static eliminator 16 to operate normally without an external power supply. The addition of the battery enhances the portability and flexibility of the static eliminator 16, allowing the silo to be used in different occasions and environments without being restricted by power supply. The design of the filter box 18 can effectively filter the air entering the fan 9, reduce the damage of impurities and particulate matter to the fan 9 and the air duct, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0035] To sum up, compared with the related art, the present device can store and protect the foam particles by setting the collecting bucket 3, the metal mesh ring 4 and the top cover 5. At the same time, the setting of the metal mesh ring 4 can ensure that the foam particles can dissipate heat normally. The cooling efficiency of the foam particles can be further increased by setting the cooling component. The material guide cover 13 and the isolation mesh cover 12 can be set to disperse and guide the foam particles for discharge, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the foam particles. The static electricity on the foam particles can be eliminated by setting the static eliminator 16 to prevent the foam particles from adsorbing each other and affecting the discharge.
