Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rice storage equipment, in particular to an adjustable rice storage device. Background Art

[0002] Before rice is finally stored, it must be pre-processed to preserve its quality and extend its shelf life. This pre-processing process includes cleaning, hulling, polishing, and grading. First, cleaning removes impurities such as stones, straw, and dust. Then, hulling transforms the brown rice into white rice, removing the husk and bran. Polishing smoothes the rice surface, enhancing its appearance. Finally, grading classifies the rice kernels according to their size and integrity, ensuring consistent quality throughout each batch.

[0003] Currently, rice processing plants generally use a batch-based approach for rice pretreatment. During the pretreatment process, rice needs to be packaged in different containers for easy handling and monitoring. However, the storage devices currently used for temporary storage of grain during pretreatment are mostly sealed boxes with fixed volumes. These devices have limited storage space and are difficult to expand, making them particularly inconvenient when responding to production needs of varying scales. Moreover, because the boxes are sealed, the internal environment is difficult to monitor intuitively. For example, real-time changes in key parameters such as temperature and humidity cannot be monitored in a timely manner, further increasing the risk of rice quality damage. Utility Model Content

[0038] Example:

[0039] An adjustable rice storage device includes a bottom box body 10, a top box body 20, and a support member 40, and also includes an expansion member 30. The expansion member 30 includes an expansion box 310 with upper and lower openings. The outer walls of the upper opening and the lower opening of the expansion box 310 are respectively provided with an upper connecting plate 340 and a lower connecting plate 350;

[0040] The top surface of the bottom box body 10 is detachably connected to the lower connecting plate 350, and the bottom surface of the top box body 20 is detachably connected to the lower connecting plate 350. Transparent observation components 50 are provided on the outer walls of the bottom box body 10, the top box body 20, and the expansion box 310.

[0041] A feeding portion and a discharging portion are respectively provided at the top of the top box body 20 and the bottom of the bottom box body 10 , and the supporting component 40 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom box body 10 .

[0042] It should be noted that the storage device described in the present application has a variety of storage forms. During the pre-processing stage, the operator can adjust the actual volume of the storage device according to the specific circumstances. Specifically, the bottom box body 10 and the top box body 20 are combined to form a storage unit with a minimum volume. By adding multiple expansion boxes 310 between the bottom box body 10 and the top box body 20, the overall volume of the storage device can be increased. The operator only needs to thread the two ends of the expansion box 310 to the bottom box body 10 and the top box body 20 to adjust the volume of the storage device according to actual needs to meet storage requirements of different scales. In addition, by configuring the observation component 50, the operator can easily monitor the rice inventory in the storage device and replenish or reduce it in time to ensure the rationality and efficiency of storage.

[0043] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, the expansion component 30 also includes a second reinforcing transverse plate 320 and a second reinforcing vertical plate 330. The second reinforcing transverse plate 320 is arranged around the outside of the expansion box 310. At least four second reinforcing vertical plates 330 are provided and are vertically and detachably connected to the four end faces of the expansion box 310. One end of the second reinforcing vertical plate 330 is screwed to the top surface of the second reinforcing transverse plate 320, and the other end of the second reinforcing vertical plate 330 is screwed to the upper connecting plate 340. The bottom box body 10 includes a first box body 110 with upper and lower openings and a bottom plate 120. The bottom plate 120 is installed inside the lower open end face of the first box body 110. The upper opening outer wall of the first box body 110 is surrounded by a connecting top plate 190, and the connecting top plate 190 is screwed and fixed to the lower connecting plate 350.

[0044] To clarify, in the storage device described herein, the provision of the second reinforcing transverse plate 320 and the second reinforcing vertical plate 330 further enhances the structural stability of the expansion box 310. The second reinforcing transverse plate 320 surrounds the exterior of the expansion box 310, effectively preventing deformation of the box due to the excessive weight of the rice during storage. Furthermore, the second reinforcing vertical plates 330 are evenly distributed across the four end faces of the expansion box 310, ensuring vertical stability and preventing excessive lateral pressure from the increased height of the expansion box 310.

[0045] Specifically, in actual application, the operator can flexibly add or reduce the number of expansion boxes 310 according to the amount of rice stored and the storage time. When it is necessary to increase the volume of the storage device, it is only necessary to screw the second reinforcing vertical plate 330 to the upper connecting plate 340 of the bottom box body 10 and the lower connecting plate 350 of the top box body 20 to achieve the rapid installation of the expansion box 310. On the contrary, if it is necessary to reduce the volume of the storage device, it is only necessary to disassemble the corresponding second reinforcing vertical plate 330 and the connecting plate to easily remove the expansion box 310. In addition, the setting of the observation component 50 enables the operator to understand the rice inventory in the storage device at any time, so as to replenish or reduce it in time, avoiding the waste of rice and the waste of storage space. The observation component 50 can be a transparent window or an observation hole with a scale, which is convenient for the operator to intuitively understand the rice inventory.

[0046] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, the discharge portion is a first discharge port opened on the bottom surface of the first box body 110, and a first discharge pipe 150 is installed at the external extension end of the first discharge port, and the external part of the first discharge pipe 150 is screwed with a first sealing cover 160 for sealing; a second discharge port is also opened on the bottom surface of the first box body 110, and a second discharge pipe 170 is installed at the external extension end of the second discharge port, and the external part of the second discharge pipe 170 is screwed with a second sealing cover 180 for sealing.

[0047] It should be noted that in the storage device of the present application, the design of the discharge portion makes the rice more convenient and efficient to access. The first discharge port and the second discharge port are respectively located on the bottom surface of the bottom box 10, making it convenient to access the rice from different positions, thereby avoiding the problem of rice accumulation or blockage during the discharge process. The provision of the first discharge pipe 150 and the second discharge pipe 170 allows the rice to flow smoothly from the storage device. At the same time, the provision of the first sealing cover 160 and the second sealing cover 180 ensures that the discharge port can be sealed when not in use, preventing the rice from getting damp or contaminated.

[0048] Specifically, the sizes of the first and second discharge ports can be designed based on actual needs to accommodate different discharge flow rates. The length and diameter of the first and second discharge pipes 150, 170 can also be adjusted based on actual usage to ensure a smooth and efficient discharge process. Furthermore, the first and second sealing caps 160, 180 can employ easily removable and sealable structures, such as screw caps or snap-on caps, to facilitate quick opening and closing of the discharge ports.

[0049] It's worth noting that, in practice, operators can choose to use either the first or second outlet based on the frequency and quantity of rice used. For example, when a large amount of rice needs to be quickly dispensed, both the first and second outlets can be opened simultaneously to improve discharging efficiency. Conversely, when smaller quantities or more precisely controlled discharging are required, either outlet can be used. By flexibly utilizing different outlets and discharge tubes, operators can better control the speed and quantity of rice dispensed, thus meeting diverse usage requirements.

[0050] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, the bottom box body 10 also includes a first reinforcing transverse plate 130 and a first reinforcing vertical plate 140. The first reinforcing transverse plate 130 is arranged around the outside of the first box body 110. At least four first reinforcing vertical plates 140 are provided and are vertically and detachably connected to the four end faces of the first box body 110. One end of the first reinforcing vertical plate 140 is screwed to the top surface of the first reinforcing transverse plate 130, and the other end of the first reinforcing vertical plate 140 is screwed to the connecting top plate 190.

[0051] To clarify, in the storage device of the present application, the operator can flexibly adjust the structural strength of the bottom box 10 based on the amount of rice to be stored and the duration of storage. When the storage device needs to carry heavier loads of rice, the first transverse reinforcing plate 130 and the first vertical reinforcing plate 140 provide sufficient support, ensuring the stability and safety of the bottom box 10. Furthermore, the detachable connection design allows the operator to easily remove the first transverse reinforcing plate 130 and the first vertical reinforcing plate 140 when maintenance or replacement of the bottom box 10 is required, facilitating related operations.

[0052] Specifically, the material selection and thickness design of the first transverse reinforcing plate 130 and the first vertical reinforcing plate 140 can be appropriately configured based on the actual weight of the rice to be stored and the dimensions of the bottom box 10. In some cases, to further increase the load-bearing capacity of the bottom box 10, reinforcing ribs can be added to the first transverse reinforcing plate 130 and the first vertical reinforcing plate 140, or stronger materials, such as high-strength steel or composite materials, can be used. These measures ensure that the storage device maintains good stability and durability during long-term use, providing reliable protection for the long-term storage of rice.

[0053] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8As shown, the top box body 20 includes a conical second box body 210, the feed part is a feed port opened at the tip of the cone of the second box body 210, the feed port is provided with a feed pipe 230, and a connecting bottom plate 220 is arranged around the outside of the cone tail end of the second box body 210, the connecting bottom plate 220 is screwed to the upper connecting plate 340, and the observation component 50 includes a first observation plate 510, a second observation plate 520 and a third observation plate 530, and at least two of the first observation plate 510, the second observation plate 520 and the third observation plate 530 are provided, and are symmetrically installed in the mounting holes opened on the outer walls of the first box body 110, the second box body 210 and the expansion box 310 respectively.

[0054] It is explained that the conical second box body 210 allows the rice to flow smoothly to the bottom box body 10 during feeding. At the same time, the conical structure helps to reduce the pressure on the rice during storage, thereby reducing the breakage rate of rice. The screw connection between the bottom plate 220 and the upper connecting plate 340 ensures a firm connection between the top box body 20 and the bottom box body 10, ensuring the stability of the entire storage device. In addition, the arrangement of the observation component 50, including the first observation plate 510, the second observation plate 520 and the third observation plate 530, allows the operator to observe the rice inventory in the storage device from different angles and positions.

[0055] Specifically, the first observation panel 510, the second observation panel 520, and the third observation panel 530 are made of transparent material so that the operator can intuitively see the rice level inside. In some cases, to further improve the observation effect, the design of the observation panels can also be adjusted according to actual needs, such as increasing or decreasing the number of observation panels, or adjusting their position and size to meet the needs of different users.

[0056] Combined with the accompanying drawings Figures 1-8 As shown, the supporting component 40 includes a supporting column 410 and a carrying plate 420. At least four of the supporting columns 410 and the carrying plate 420 are provided. One end of the supporting column 410 is connected to the bottom surface of the first box body 110, and the other end of the supporting column 410 is connected to the top surface of the carrying plate 420.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
