The vertical projection of the discharge port 3 falls within the enclosed area of the guardrail 4. When the tank truck 5 is loading below the discharge port 3, the tank hole on the top of the tank truck 5 is opposite to the discharge port 3 of the silo 1, and the guardrail 4 is correspondingly enclosed on the top of the tank truck 5 to prevent people on the top of the tank truck 5 from falling.
[0016] In one embodiment, the silo 1 is a fly ash silo, and the discharge port 3 of the silo 1 can be extended. When the tank hole on the top of the tank truck 5 is opposite to the discharge port 3 of the silo 1, the discharge port 3 of the silo 1 can be extended to be opposite to the tank hole, so as to load the fly ash into the tank truck 5. There is a tank cover 12 on the tank hole on the top of the tank truck 5, so in the process of loading fly ash, the driver needs to climb to the top of the tank truck 5 to open and close the tank cover 12. Since the guardrail 4 surrounds the top of the tank truck 5, it can prevent the driver from falling from the tank truck 5.
