[0041] See also Figure 4 - Figure 5 The driving assembly includes a screw 404 arranged in two groups of support columns 301, the bottom end of the screw 404 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support column 301, the upper end of the screw 404 is threadedly connected to the inner part of the sliding sleeve 302, and the outer surface of the screw 404 is provided with a second bevel gear 403, and the right side of the second bevel gear 403 is provided with a first bevel gear 402 engaged with it, and the first bevel gear 402 is provided with a rotating shaft 401, one of the rotating shafts 401 is connected to the output end of the driving motor 400, and the other is connected to the limit block 405, and the two rotating shafts 401 are connected by a belt 406.

[0042] When it is necessary to adjust the lifting, the driving motor 400 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 402 to rotate together. Since the first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403 are engaged with each other, the second bevel gear 403 is driven to rotate, and the second bevel gear 403 will rotate with the screw 404.

[0043] See also Figure 4 A motor frame 303 is mounted on the surface of one of the support columns 301 , and the drive motor 400 is easily installed through the motor frame 303 .

[0044] The motor frame 303 facilitates fixing the drive motor 400 , and the motor frame 303 can ensure the stability of the drive motor 400 during operation, and prevent movement or tilting due to vibration or external force, thereby ensuring stable operation of the motor.

[0045] See also Figure 4 - Figure 7 The clamping assembly includes two square grooves 500 formed on the docking plate 304, and grooves 501 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the square groove 500. A protrusion 502 is provided outside the groove 501. A square block 504 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 207 to cooperate with the square groove 500, and docking holes 505 are respectively formed at both ends of the square block 504 to cooperate with the protrusion 502.

[0046] The two protrusions 502 are driven to retract into the grooves 501 by the pulling mechanism. During the installation of the weighing box 206, the two square blocks 504 set at the end are respectively inserted into the square grooves 500. The pulling assembly is released, so that the two groups of protrusions 502 in each square groove 500 respectively enter the docking holes 505 at both ends of the square block 504 to complete the fixation.

[0047] See also Figure 6 - Figure 7 The pulling mechanism includes a pull rope 506, both ends of which pass through the docking plate 304 and are respectively connected to the two protrusions 502, and a reset member for driving the protrusion 502 to reset is provided in the groove 501.

[0048] The two ends of the pull rope 506 are respectively connected to the two protrusions 502. Pulling the pull rope 506 drives the two protrusions 502 to move into the inside of the groove 501, making it convenient for the square block 504 to move into the square groove 500. Under the action of the reset member, the protrusion 502 is reset, so that the protrusion 502 enters the docking holes 505 at both ends of the square block 504 to complete the fixation. Similarly, pulling the pull rope 506 to pull the protrusion 502 out of the docking hole 505 can remove the square block 504 at the bottom end of the connecting plate 207 from the square groove 500, and the weighing box 206 can be removed.

[0050] When the pull rope 506 is pulled to drive the two protrusions 502 to retract into the groove 501 , the pull rope 506 is loosened, and the protrusions 502 can be reset under the action of the compression spring 503 .

[0051] See also Figure 6 There is a certain gap between the protrusion 502 and the groove 501, and the diameter of the protrusion 502 is smaller than the diameter of the groove 501.

[0052] Appropriate clearance can reduce friction and wear, making it easier for the bump 502 to move or insert into the groove 501 , while also reducing material usage, thereby lowering costs and improving the flexibility of the mechanical system.

[0053] See also Figure 7 The end of the pull rope 506 is provided with a handle, and the surface of the handle is provided with an anti-slip cover.

[0054] The handle is provided to provide a gripping point, making it convenient for staff to pull to unlock, and the anti-slip sleeve is provided to increase friction and prevent hands from slipping.

[0055] See also Figure 1 The silo body 200 is provided with a top cover 201 , and the inner wall of the top cover 201 is provided with a sealing strip.

[0056] The top cover 201 can protect the material in the silo from the influence of humid air, keep the material dry and of high quality, and prevent dust and other pollutants from falling into the silo, keeping the material clean. The sealing strip is used to increase the sealing performance and make it fit more tightly.

[0057] See also Figure 1 The bottom of the four legs of the mounting frame 204 is provided with anti-skid pads 205, and the anti-skid pads 205 are made of rubber.

[0058] The anti-slip pad 205 is provided to increase the friction between the support leg and the second mounting plate 101, thereby preventing the support leg from sliding or tilting, thereby improving the stability and safety of the device.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] A weighable silo, such as Figure 4 - Figure 7 As shown, the technical solutions and parts of this embodiment are basically the same as those of embodiment 1, and the technically identical parts will not be repeated here. The difference is that the pull rope can be wound around the winding roller by setting a motor and a winding roller, and the output end of the motor is connected to the winding roller. The motor is started to drive the winding roller to rotate, thereby driving the pull rope to reel in, so that the protrusion moves to the groove to complete the contraction. After contraction, it can be installed, and the motor is reversed to loosen the pull rope to complete the fixation.

[0061] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, the weighing box 206 is installed, and the two protrusions 502 are driven to retract into the grooves 501 by the pulling mechanism. During the installation process of the weighing box 206, the two square blocks 504 set at the end are respectively inserted into the square grooves 500, and the pulling assembly is released so that the two sets of protrusions 502 in each square groove 500 respectively enter the docking holes 505 at both ends of the square block 504 to complete the fixation. The control valve 203 is controlled to open by the controller 601, and the objects placed in the silo body 200 flow out to the weighing box through the discharge port 202. In 206, when the preset amount is reached, the controller 601 controls the control valve 203 to close, and drives the weighing box to move downward through the driving motor. The driving motor 400 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 402 to rotate together. Since the first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403 are engaged with each other, the second bevel gear 403 is driven to rotate, and the second bevel gear 403 will rotate together with the screw 404, causing the sliding sleeve 302 to move downward, and the weighing box 206 moves downward until the weight is completely placed on the weighing sensor 209 for weighing.

[0062] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations on the present invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
