The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0028] Combine the following Figures 1 to 3 , the potato storage tank 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail through a specific embodiment.
[0029] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a potato storage tank provided by the utility model; Figure 2 It is a partial structural diagram of the potato storage tank provided by the utility model; Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view of a sweet potato storage tank provided by the utility model. A sweet potato storage tank 100 provided in one embodiment of the utility model comprises a tank body 10, a double-layer structure 20 and a ventilation structure. The tank body 10 is used to store sweet potatoes; the double-layer structure 20 is arranged in the tank body 10 and is recessed toward the inside of the tank body 10, and the double-layer structure 20 and the inner wall of the tank body 10 are enclosed together to form a heat preservation space; the ventilation structure is connected to the tank body 10.
[0030] The double-layer structure 20 forms a heat preservation space, which can effectively reduce the conduction and loss of heat, thereby improving the heat preservation effect in the tank. Through the setting of the double-layer structure 20, the temperature inside the tank body 10 is more stable, which can reduce the temperature fluctuation, keep the stored sweet potatoes in a relatively stable environment, and help maintain their quality. The setting of the ventilation structure can promote the gas exchange inside and outside the tank, help to discharge the metabolic products such as carbon dioxide in the tank, and replenish fresh oxygen to keep the freshness of the sweet potatoes. Through such a setting, the potato storage tank 100 improves the heat preservation effect and the stability of the storage environment, which is conducive to extending the shelf life of agricultural products and improving the quality.
[0031] In some embodiments, the double-layer structure 20 includes an isolation layer 21 , and the isolation layer 21 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the tank body 10 to form a heat-insulating space.
[0032] A heat preservation space is formed between the isolation layer 21 and the inner wall of the tank body 10, which can effectively reduce the conduction and loss of heat. In this way, the heat preservation effect in the tank body 10 can be further improved, ensuring that the stored sweet potatoes and other agricultural products are in a suitable temperature environment and extending their shelf life. The provision of the isolation layer 21 increases the degree of isolation between the internal and external temperatures of the tank body 10 and reduces the impact of external environmental factors on the internal temperature. This helps to maintain the stability of the temperature in the tank and prevent the impact of external temperature changes on the quality of the sweet potatoes. Through such a setting, the addition of the isolation layer 21 further enhances the heat preservation performance of the potato storage tank 100 and improves the stability of the storage environment and the preservation effect.
[0033] In some embodiments, the double-layer structure 20 further includes an insulation layer 22, and the insulation layer 22 covers the isolation layer 21. The insulation layer 22 is made of polystyrene foam. Polystyrene foam is an excellent insulation material with good heat insulation performance, which can effectively reduce heat conduction and loss. Through such a setting, the covering of the insulation layer 22 can further improve the insulation effect inside the tank body 10, ensuring that the stored sweet potatoes and other agricultural products are in a stable temperature environment.
[0034] In some embodiments, the ventilation structure includes a ventilation duct and an exhaust fan, and the tank body 10 includes an air inlet 11; one end of the ventilation duct is connected to the air inlet 11, and the other end is connected to the exhaust fan.
[0035] The ventilation duct and the exhaust fan are connected so that the fan can circulate external air into the tank body 10 through the ventilation duct, so that the air circulates inside the tank body 10. The air inlet 11 allows fresh air to enter the tank body 10, and the ventilation duct transports the air to various parts of the tank body 10. By circulating the air, this structure helps to maintain a uniform distribution of temperature and humidity inside the tank body 10. Through such an arrangement, the air circulation inside the tank body 10 can be ensured, and the humidity and temperature can be controlled to prevent the sweet potato from rotting and mold.
[0036] In some embodiments, the tank body 10 further includes an air outlet 12, and the air outlet 12 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 11. By arranging the air outlet 12 opposite to the air inlet 11, an air flow channel can be formed. Fresh air enters the tank body 10 through the air inlet 11, flows through the tank body 10, and then is discharged through the air outlet 12. This fluidity helps to maintain the circulation and flow of air, ensuring that the air inside the tank body 10 always remains fresh. More specifically, arranging the air outlet 12 opposite to the air inlet 11 can allow the air to be fully circulated in the tank body 10 before being discharged.
[0037] In some embodiments, the tank body 10 further includes a seal, and a detachable cover of the seal is disposed on the air outlet 12 and the air inlet 11 .
[0038] The seal can effectively seal the air outlet 12 and the air inlet 11, preventing air from entering or leaving the tank body 10 when it is not needed. This helps maintain the effectiveness of the air circulation system inside the tank body 10, ensuring that air flow only occurs when needed, thereby better controlling the environmental conditions inside the tank body 10. The seal can effectively prevent external dust, debris, insects and other substances from entering the tank body 10, thereby keeping the tank body 10 clean.
[0039] In some embodiments, a partition 13 is provided in the tank body 10, and a small hole 131 is provided on the partition 13 for gas circulation. Several partitions 13 are arranged at intervals in the tank body 10, and sweet potatoes can be placed on the partitions 13. Through the small holes 131 on the partition 13, the gas in the tank body 10 can flow freely, which helps to maintain the ventilation and humidity in the tank body 10, thereby facilitating the preservation of the sweet potatoes. By arranging a plurality of partitions 13 in the tank body 10, the sweet potatoes can be evenly placed on the partitions 13, avoiding the close stacking between the sweet potatoes, which helps to prevent collision and damage between the sweet potatoes. And the interval arrangement of the partitions 13 allows the sweet potatoes to be evenly distributed in the tank body 10, which helps to better manage and check the state of the sweet potatoes and ensure that they are evenly affected by air and humidity during storage. In addition, through the small holes 131 on the partition 13, the gas in the tank body 10 can flow freely, which helps to maintain the ventilation and humidity in the tank body 10, thereby facilitating the preservation of the sweet potatoes.
[0040] In some embodiments, a boss 14 is provided on the inner wall of the tank body 10, and the boss 14 abuts against the partition 13. The provision of the boss 14 can effectively prevent the partition 13 from shifting inside the tank body 10, thereby maintaining the relative stability of the placement of the sweet potatoes. This helps to ensure that the sweet potatoes will not be unevenly stacked or shifted during storage due to changes in the internal structure of the tank body 10.

It can be understood that the potato storage tank 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model also includes other structures for realizing the functions of the potato storage tank 100, which will not be described one by one here.
