Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of modified atmosphere storage of bulk grain, in particular to a circulating modified atmosphere device for a granary. Background Art

[0002] Pests are an important factor affecting the safety of bulk grain storage. The use of nitrogen modified atmosphere technology is an important means to achieve pest control. The modified atmosphere technology refers to using a modified atmosphere device to introduce nitrogen with a corresponding concentration into the warehouse, making the inside of the warehouse in an anoxic state, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and killing pests.

[0003] The modified atmosphere devices in the prior art have a single function and can only introduce nitrogen into the warehouse in one direction and exhaust in one direction. For example, nitrogen is introduced from the lower side of the grain pile, and corresponding exhaust ports are set on the upper side of the grain pile. When in use, nitrogen enters the granary through the ventilation grooves on the lower side of the grain pile, passes through the grain pile from bottom to top, and is discharged through the exhaust ports on the upper side of the grain pile. The problems existing in the prior art are that during the static storage period of stored grain, due to the relatively small molecular weight of nitrogen, nitrogen mostly accumulates at the top of the warehouse, and the nitrogen concentration at the bottom of the warehouse is relatively low. Therefore, pests often gather at the bottom of the warehouse and the purpose of preventing and killing pests cannot be achieved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a circulating modified atmosphere device for a granary, which can achieve uniform nitrogen concentration at the bottom and top of the warehouse through circulation, so as to effectively kill pests at the bottom of the warehouse.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of a circulating modified atmosphere device for a granary in the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A circulating modified atmosphere device for a granary includes a first ventilation port for communicating with the bottom of the grain pile and a second ventilation port for communicating with the upper side of the grain pile. A first modified atmosphere pipeline is connected to the first ventilation port, and the intake end of the first modified atmosphere pipeline is used to connect to a corresponding nitrogen source. A second modified atmosphere pipeline is connected to the second ventilation port, and an exhaust pipeline and a third modified atmosphere pipeline are connected to the second modified atmosphere pipeline. A strong exhaust fan and a valve F6 are arranged on the exhaust pipeline, a valve F7 is arranged on the exhaust pipeline, the third modified atmosphere pipeline is connected to the first modified atmosphere pipeline, a circulating fan is arranged between the third modified atmosphere pipeline and the second modified atmosphere pipeline, a valve F3 is arranged on the third modified atmosphere pipeline, valves F1 and F2 are respectively arranged on the first modified atmosphere pipeline upstream and downstream of the third modified atmosphere pipeline, and a fourth modified atmosphere pipeline is connected between the first modified atmosphere pipeline and the exhaust pipeline upstream of the strong exhaust fan, and a valve F4 is arranged on the fourth modified atmosphere pipeline.

[0007] Furthermore, an intake pipeline communicating with the atmosphere is connected to the upstream of the strong exhaust fan on the exhaust pipeline, and a valve F8 is arranged on the intake pipeline.

[0008] Further, a first intake pipe and a second intake pipe arranged in parallel are connected to the third controlled atmosphere pipe. A valve F9 is provided on the first intake pipe, and a valve F10 is provided on the second intake pipe. The intake ends of the first intake pipe and the second intake pipe are respectively used to be connected to corresponding fumigation gases.

[0009] Further, fumigation application concentration detection boxes for detecting the concentrations of corresponding fumigation gases are provided at the intake ends of the first intake pipe and the second intake pipe.

[0010] Further, a parallel bypass arranged in parallel with the circulation fan is provided between the second controlled atmosphere pipe and the third controlled atmosphere pipe. A valve F9 is provided on the parallel bypass.

[0011] Further, a fifth controlled atmosphere pipe is connected between the first controlled atmosphere pipe and the exhaust pipe downstream of the forced exhaust fan. A valve F5 is provided on the fifth controlled atmosphere pipe.

[0012] Further, the second ventilation opening is connected to the exhaust pipe through a fifth controlled atmosphere pipe. A valve F5 is provided on the fifth controlled atmosphere pipe.

[0013] Further, the circulation controlled atmosphere device for a granary further includes a detection box. A gas concentration and pressure detection unit is provided in the detection box. The gas concentration and pressure detection unit is respectively connected to the first controlled atmosphere pipe, the second controlled atmosphere pipe, and the exhaust pipe through corresponding gas sampling pipes.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The circulation controlled atmosphere device for a granary of the present utility model can achieve the following multiple functions. For example, 1. "Filling from the bottom and exhausting from the top", that is, nitrogen is filled from the lower side of the grain pile and exhausted from the upper side of the grain pile. Specifically, valves F1, F2, F6, and F7 are opened. Nitrogen flows through the first ventilation opening of the first controlled atmosphere pipe to the lower side of the grain pile, passes through the grain pile from bottom to top, and then is discharged through the second ventilation opening, the second controlled atmosphere channel, and the exhaust pipe. The air flow pressure in the granary is balanced, and the nitrogen concentration continuously increases. 2. "Filling from the top and exhausting from the bottom", that is, nitrogen is filled from the upper side of the grain pile and exhausted from the lower side of the grain pile. Specifically, valve F2 is closed, and valves F1, F3, F4, and F7 are opened. Nitrogen flows through the third controlled atmosphere channel and the second ventilation opening of the second controlled atmosphere channel to the upper side of the grain pile, passes through the grain pile from top to bottom, and then is discharged through the first ventilation opening, the first controlled atmosphere pipe, the fourth controlled atmosphere pipe, and the exhaust pipe. The air flow pressure in the granary is balanced, and the nitrogen concentration continuously increases. 3. Circulation function. After filling nitrogen for a certain period of time, the nitrogen generation system is closed, valves F2 and F3 are opened, the rest of the valves are closed, and the circulation fan is started. Nitrogen flows through the first ventilation opening and the first controlled atmosphere pipe to the third controlled atmosphere pipe, and then flows back to the granary through the second ventilation opening of the second controlled atmosphere pipe, so that the nitrogen concentration in the granary is uniform, avoiding the problem that the effective killing of pests cannot be achieved due to the low nitrogen concentration at the bottom of the grain pile.

[0015] Further, the circulation device for the granary in the present utility model can also achieve the following functions: when the gas sampling pipe detects that the nitrogen concentration in the granary is insufficient, valves F1 and F2 can be opened to supplement gas and circulate gas inside the bin at the same time.

[0016] Further, the airtightness detection function of the bin can also be achieved. Open valves F5 and F8; close valves F2, F4, F6, F7 and the remaining valves. Turn on the forced exhaust fan, and at the same time open the gas detection valve in the detection box to detect the gas pressure concentration inside the bin. By starting and stopping the forced exhaust fan, and opening and closing the valves, combined with the pressure detection and the timing device for the pressure half-life, the control system automatically conducts the positive pressure airtightness detection of the bin. For negative pressure detection, open valves F4 and F7; close valves F2, F5, F6, F8 and the remaining valves. The function is achieved by referring to "positive pressure detection".

[0017] Further, external fumigation and air supply for controlled atmosphere functions can also be connected. Specifically, when the circulation function is turned on, open valves F9 and F10 according to actual needs to access various gases with fumigation, controlled atmosphere and protection functions to achieve this function.

[0018] Further, the ventilation and air change function in a confined space can also be achieved. Open valves F6 and F7; close valves F3, F4, F5, F8 and the remaining valves. At the same time, open the doors and windows such as the inspection opening for the grain condition in the granary. Turn on the forced exhaust fan, start and stop the forced exhaust fan and open and close the valves, combined with the oxygen concentration detection and the fan opening timing device, and the control system automatically conducts air change in the bin to achieve this function.

[0019] Further, the sampling detection function of the gas concentration and gas pressure in the granary can also be achieved through the detection box.

[0020] Further, a parallel bypass is set in parallel with the circulation fan, avoiding the potential safety hazard that the two fans of the forced exhaust fan and the circulation fan are directly connected in series and are likely to cause damage to the fans. Description of the Drawings
