[0029] The following various embodiments are only for illustration. Combinations can be made between the various embodiments, and it is not limited to the content shown in the following single embodiment.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a grain silo, including an upper silo body 1, a lower silo body 2, an annular flexible member 3, and a vibrating plate 5;

[0031] The upper silo body 1 is fixedly connected to the lower silo body 2. In this embodiment, the upper silo body 1 and the lower silo body 2 can be integrally formed or welded and fixed. The lower silo body 2 is provided with a blanking port. The lower silo body 2 is movably inserted with a plug-in member 11 for closing the blanking port. One end of the vibrating plate 5 is rotatably connected to the upper silo body 1, and the other end is a movable end extending to the blanking port. The inner surface of the upper silo body 1 is fixedly connected with an annular flexible member 3. The annular flexible member 3 is laid on the lower silo body 2 and the vibrating plate 5 and extends to the blanking port of the lower silo body 2. The annular flexible member 3 is located above the plug-in member 11. The lower silo body 2 is provided with a vibration assembly for vibrating the vibrating plate 5. The bottom end of the lower silo body 2 is fixedly connected with a plurality of support feet 12. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the support feet 12 is fixedly connected with a rubber layer, which can provide better stability when the support feet 12 support. In this application, by introducing the annular flexible member and its supporting vibration assembly, through the vibration of the vibration assembly driving the vibrating plate and then driving the flexible member, the adaptability of the silo to different types of grains is enhanced, the flow of grains in the silo is effectively promoted, the phenomena of caking and blockage are reduced, and the discharging efficiency is improved.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vibration assembly includes a cam 4 and a power source. The cam 4 is in contact connection with the vibrating plate 5, and the power source is used to drive the cam 4 to rotate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the power source includes a motor 7, a first gear 8, a second gear 9 and a rotating shaft 10;

[0034] The motor 7 is fixedly installed outside the lower silo body 2. The output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected with the first gear 8. The first gear 8 meshes with the second gear 9. The second gear 9 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 10 is rotatably installed in the lower silo body 2, and the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected with the cam 4. In this embodiment, by designing the motor 7, the first gear 8, the second gear 9 and the rotating shaft 10, the cam 4 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the cam 4 causes the vibrating plate 5 to move, thereby effectively promoting the flow of the grains loaded in the annular flexible member 3 and improving the fluidity and discharging efficiency of the grains.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first gear 8 is a split gear. In this embodiment, the first gear 8 can be a split gear. The split gear only needs to be processed (gear hobbing) with the corresponding number of teeth according to the design requirements. Compared with a complete gear, the processing time can be greatly reduced. At this time, the cam 4 does not need to make a complete circular motion to achieve the same vibrating effect. In this embodiment, when the first gear 8 is a split gear, it meshes with the second gear 9 intermittently. The movement process is as follows: The first gear 8 drives the second gear 9 to make the cam 4 contact the vibrating plate 5. Then, the first gear 8 continues to rotate. Then, the first gear 8 and the second gear 9 are disengaged. Then, the vibrating plate 5 makes the cam 4 rotate back to the initial position along the just rotated path; when the first gear 8 continues to rotate to mesh with the second gear 9 again, the above process is repeated.

[0036] In this embodiment, it further includes a sliding groove and a sliding column 13. The sliding groove is formed in the lower bin body 2, and the sliding column 13 is fixedly connected to the shaking plate 5. The sliding column 13 slides in the sliding groove. In this embodiment, the shape of the sliding groove is arc-shaped, which matches the movement track of the shaking plate 5, and the sliding column 13 slides in the sliding groove. When the sliding column 13 is at the lowest position of the sliding groove, the cam 4 and the shaking plate 5 are not in contact. After the cam 4 rotates, it gradually contacts the shaking plate 5, and the sliding column 13 moves in the sliding groove. The length of the sliding groove can support the movement of the sliding column 13. When the first gear 8 is a missing gear, during the rotation process, the second gear 9 will suddenly lose the meshing power with the first gear 8, and the cam 4 will return along the rotation path, and the shaking plate 5 will cause an impact on the rotating shaft 10 where the cam 4 is located. In order to avoid the shaking plate 5 causing an impact on the rotating shaft 10 where the cam 4 is located, the sliding groove and the sliding column 13 are designed to relieve the impact caused by the shaking plate 5 on the rotating shaft 10 where the cam 4 is located.

[0037] In this embodiment, the shaking plate 5 includes an inclined section and a vertical section. The inclined section and the vertical section are fixedly connected. The inclined section is rotatably connected to the upper bin body 1. The cam 4 is in contact connection with the inclined section of the shaking plate 5, and the vertical section is located at the material outlet and is movably connected to the lower bin body 2. In this embodiment, the shaking plate 5 includes an inclined section and a vertical section. The inclined section is rotatably connected to the upper bin body 1. When the cam 4 rotates, the shaking plate 5 rotates around the hinge axis of the inclined section and the upper bin body 1. The shaking plate 5 is designed to include an inclined section and a vertical section, which can better shake the annular flexible member 3. In order to avoid the shaking plate 5 piercing the annular flexible member 3 during the movement process, a fillet is provided at the connection of the inclined section and the vertical section.

[0038] In this embodiment, it further includes a sealing cover 6. The sealing cover 6 matches the upper end of the upper bin body 1 and is used to close the upper bin body 1. By designing the sealing cover 6, after the grain is loaded into this application, using the sealing cover 6 to cover it can avoid external dust from entering and causing grain pollution.

[0039] In this embodiment, the annular flexible member 3 is a polyester cloth bag. The polyester cloth bag has good air permeability, which is beneficial to the storage of grain and prevents the grain from mildewing due to excessive humidity. In addition, the polyester cloth bag also has high strength and wear resistance, and can be used normally in the temperature range of -40°C to 120°C, ensuring its durability in various environments. When in use, select the appropriate specification and thickness according to the weight of the grain to ensure the safety of the packaging. The polyester cloth bag is also recyclable and friendly to the environment.

[0040] In this embodiment, it further includes a telescopic rod. The plug-in member 11 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, and the fixed end of the telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the lower bin body 2. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod is an electric rod. In this embodiment, by the extension and retraction of the electric rod to drive the movement of the plug-in member 11, the closing and opening of the material outlet can be realized.

[0041] Working principle of the utility model:

[0042] When using this application, first extend the telescopic rod, and the plug-in part 11 closes the blanking port; then remove the sealing cover 6 to allow the grain to enter from the upper bin body 1. After the grain is filled, seal it with the sealing cover 6. When discharging, retract the telescopic rod to open the blanking port. During the discharging process, if you want to accelerate the discharging or the blanking port is blocked, start the motor 7 at this time. The motor 7 drives the first gear 8, the first gear 8 drives the second gear 9 to rotate, the second gear 9 drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, the rotating shaft 10 drives the cam 4 to rotate, the cam 4 drives the shaking plate 5 to move, and the shaking plate 5 drives the annular flexible part 3 to move, so as to accelerate the discharging or unblock the blocked blanking port.

[0043] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the utility model should still be covered by the claims of the utility model.
