[0027] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways defined and covered by the following.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, the power platform of the grain silo in this embodiment includes a platform body 1, a transmission fixing seat 3 disposed on the platform body 1, a power device 2 disposed on the transmission fixing seat 3 for driving the cloth distributor 5 to lift and lower, and an elastic sling 4 for connecting the platform body 1 to the silo top. The power device 2 includes a driver 21, a first spiral bevel gear reducer 22, a second spiral bevel gear reducer 23, a third spiral bevel gear reducer 24, a first chain hoist 25, a second chain hoist 26, a third chain hoist 27, and a fourth chain hoist 28. The first chain hoist 25, the second chain hoist 26, the third chain hoist 27, and the fourth chain hoist 28 are respectively connected to the cloth distributor 5. The driver 21 is connected to the input end of the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22 through a coupling. The two output ends of the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22 are respectively connected to the input ends of the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 and the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 through a first transmission rod 291 and a second transmission rod 292. The two output ends of the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 are respectively connected to the first chain hoist 25 and the second chain hoist 26 through a third transmission rod 293 and a fourth transmission rod 294. The two output ends of the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 are respectively connected to the third chain hoist 27 and the fourth chain hoist 28 through a fifth transmission rod 295 and a sixth transmission rod 296.

[0029] The power platform of the grain silo in this embodiment, the platform body 1 is square, and the four corners of the platform body 1 are connected to the silo top through four elastic slings 4 respectively. When in use, the driver 21 drives the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22 to rotate through an elastic coupling. The two output ends of the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22 respectively drive the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 and the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 to rotate synchronously through the first transmission rod 291 and the second transmission rod 292. The two output ends of the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 respectively drive the first chain hoist 25 and the second chain hoist 26 to wind and unwind synchronously through the third transmission rod 293 and the fourth transmission rod 294. The two output ends of the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 respectively drive the third chain hoist 27 and the fourth chain hoist 28 to wind and unwind synchronously through the fifth transmission rod 295 and the sixth transmission rod 296.

Optionally, the driver 21 is a pneumatic motor. Compared with a hydraulic motor and an electric motor, on the one hand, it can reduce the overall weight of the power platform, and on the other hand, it can reduce the pollution caused by oil stains and keep the grain clean.

[0030] Such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the elastic sling 4 includes a suspension seat 41 for connecting to the top of the bin, an elastic buffer structure 42 for connecting to the platform body 1, and a chain 43 for connecting the suspension seat 41 and the elastic buffer structure 42. The elastic buffer structure 42 includes a swivel bolt 421, a nut 422 screwed onto the bottom end of the swivel bolt 421, and a spring 423 sleeved on the swivel bolt 421. The top end of the swivel bolt 421 passes through the platform body 1 and is connected to the chain 43. The spring 423 is arranged between the platform body 1 and the nut 422. When the weather is cold, the central column contracts due to the cold, driving the platform body 1 to descend. The spring 423 can provide a buffer distance for the platform body 1 in the axial direction, preventing the chain 43 from directly pulling the top of the bin down and causing damage to the top of the bin.

By rotating the upper screw rod 442 and / or the lower screw rod 444, the connection length between the suspension seat 41 and the platform body 1 can be adjusted, so that the platform body 1 is always in a horizontal state, preventing the cloth distributor 5 from getting stuck during the lifting and lowering process and ensuring the smooth progress of grain entering the bin.

[0032] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the suspension seat 41 includes a first connecting plate 411 for connecting to the top of the bin, a second connecting plate 412 for connecting to the chain 43, and a connecting rod 413 for connecting the first connecting plate 411 and the second connecting plate 412. Its structure is simple, the connection is firm, and the processing cost is low.

[0033] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 414 is arranged between the connecting rod 413 and the first connecting plate 411 and / or between the connecting rod 413 and the second connecting plate 412 to increase the rigidity of the suspension seat 41 and prevent the suspension seat 41 from deforming.

[0034] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a first D-shaped lifting ring 431 and a second D-shaped lifting ring 432 are respectively arranged at both ends of the chain 43. A lifting lug 415 adapted to the first D-shaped lifting ring 431 is arranged on the second connecting plate 412. The second D-shaped lifting ring 432 is connected to the O-shaped joint 443, which can quickly disassemble and assemble the chain 43 and improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, a second reinforcing rib 416 is disposed between the lifting lug 415 and the second connecting plate 412 to enhance the connection strength between the lifting lug 415 and the second connecting plate 412 and prevent the lifting lug 415 from deforming.

[0036] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the transmission fixing seat 3 includes a first mounting seat 31 for mounting the driver 21 and the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22, a second mounting seat 32 for mounting the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 and the first ring chain hoist 25, a third mounting seat 33 for mounting the second ring chain hoist 26, a fourth mounting seat 34 for mounting the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 and the third ring chain hoist 27, and a fifth mounting seat 35 for mounting the fourth ring chain hoist 28. By shortening the distance between the driver 21 and the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22, shortening the lengths of the third transmission rod 293 and the fifth transmission rod 295, and increasing the lengths of the fourth transmission rod 294 and the sixth transmission rod 296, the driver 21 and the first spiral bevel gear reducer 22 are mounted on the first mounting seat 31, the second spiral bevel gear reducer 23 and the first ring chain hoist 25 are mounted on the second mounting seat 32, the third spiral bevel gear reducer 24 and the third ring chain hoist 27 are mounted on the fourth mounting seat 34, and the number of the transmission fixing seats 3 is reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and reducing the overall weight of the power platform.

[0037] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a column connection flange 11 for connecting the central column is disposed on the platform body 1, and the radial position of the platform body 1 is kept unchanged through the central column to prevent the distributor 5 from deflecting.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, a guardrail 12 is disposed on the platform body 1 to provide protection when the staff is performing maintenance.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
