DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Example: A corn storage device with moisture-proof function, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a storage bin 1, a lid 2 and a ventilation box 21. The storage bin 1 is the main body of the storage device. The top opening of the storage bin 1 is installed with a covering lid 2. The lower part of the side wall of the storage bin 1 is symmetrically provided with exhaust ports 12. The lid 2 is installed with a ventilation box 21 through the ventilation port opened on its top; it also includes: a partition plate 3, which is arranged in a cross-shaped manner inside the storage bin. The partition plate 3 divides the storage space inside the storage bin into four compartments, each compartment is convenient for classifying and storing corn of different sizes; a bracket 4, which is arranged between two adjacent partition plates 3, and the bracket 4 is located in the middle of each compartment in the storage bin 1; a load-bearing plate 5, which is placed on each bracket 4, and the bracket 4 and the load-bearing plate 5 are both hollow frames in the middle; a breathable net 6, which is arranged inside the load-bearing plate 5, The load-bearing plate 5 supports the corn stored in the upper and lower parts by separating them with the breathable net 6 thereon, ensuring ventilation and preventing the corn from piling up in large quantities in the storage bin 1, which may cause the corn at the bottom to be damaged and moldy. A plurality of ventilation fans 7 are installed inside the ventilation box 21. The ventilation fans 7 are used to blow air to the corn stored in the storage bin 1 and cooperate with the exhaust port 12 to exhaust air, so that the corn in the storage bin 1 is well ventilated and the moisture-proof ability of the storage bin 1 is improved. A first HEPA filter 8 is installed inside the ventilation box 21. The first HEPA filter 8 is located at the ventilation port of the ventilation fan 7. The first HEPA filter 8 can efficiently remove fine particles in the air and reduce the deposition of tiny pollutants on the surface of the corn, thereby reducing the risk of growth of mold and other microorganisms.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a mounting plate 9 is symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the storage bin 1. There is a space between the mounting plate 9 and the inner wall of the storage bin 1. A second HEPA filter 10 is provided at the opening inside the mounting plate 9. The second HEPA filter 10 is used to provide a filtering effect from the air outlet of the storage bin 1, further preventing tiny pollutants from entering the interior of the storage bin 1; a protective net 11 is also installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 9. The protective net 11 is located between the second HEPA filter 10 and the storage compartment inside the storage bin 1. The protective net 11 blocks the corresponding second HEPA filter 10 to prevent the stored corn from directly scratching and contacting the second HEPA filter 10 and causing damage, thereby improving the service life of the second HEPA filter 10.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, multiple adjustment plates 13 are rotatably installed side by side at the top opening of the ventilation box 21. The multiple adjustment plates 13 seal and block the top opening of the ventilation box 21. The adjustment plates 13 are used to adjust the opening and closing degree of the ventilation on the ventilation box 21. When the air humidity is high in rainy weather, the adjustment plates 13 are closed, and the ventilation fan 7 is used to continuously and slowly blow air into the storage bin, so that the moisture that sinks to the bottom of the storage bin 1 is discharged from the exhaust port 12, so that the corn inside the storage bin 1 maintains a dry ventilation effect; an electric push rod 14 is installed on the top of the cover 2, and gears 15 are installed on the rotating shafts of the adjustment plates 13. A rack 16 is installed on the push rod of the electric push rod 14, and the rack 16 synchronously meshes with multiple gears 15. The electric push rod 14 drives the rack 16 to mesh and rotate the gear 15, so that the opening and closing angles of the multiple adjustment plates 13 on the ventilation box 21 can be synchronously and flexibly adjusted according to the storage adjustment, so that the storage bin 1 maintains the best moisture-proof and ventilation state.

[0023] When storing corn, first open the lid 2 from the top of the storage bin 1, then remove the load-bearing plate 5 placed on the bracket 4 and the air-permeable net 6 thereon, and classify the corn to be stored into different compartments of the storage bin 1. After the lower part of the storage bin 1 is basically full, put the load-bearing plate 5 back on the bracket 4, and finally put the unstored corn into the upper part of the storage bin 1. In this way, the corn can be stored in the storage bin 1 in a separated manner, thereby enhancing the air circulation in the storage bin 1 and avoiding the problem of damage to the bottom corn due to a large amount of corn accumulation. After all the corn is put into the storage bin 1, the fan is activated, and the fan blows fresh air into the storage bin 1, cooperating with the exhaust vents 12 on the side wall of the storage bin 1 to form an effective air circulation system, which helps to expel moisture and maintain a dry environment in the bin. At the same time, in order to improve the air quality, a first HEPA filter 8 is installed in the ventilation box 21. The first HEPA filter 8 can efficiently remove Fine particles in the air reduce the deposition of pollutants on the surface of corn and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. At the same time, a second HEPA filter 10 is installed on the inner wall of the storage bin 1 to further purify the air entering the bin, and the protective net 11 protects these filters from damage caused by contact with corn. In order to adapt to different climatic conditions, especially high humidity weather, the electric push rod 14 is enabled in a humid environment to drive the rack 16 to move, and the rack 16 engages the drive gear 15 to rotate, thereby closing these adjustment plates 13 and limiting the entry of external moisture. The fan is used to continuously and slowly blow air into the storage bin 1, prompting the moisture accumulated at the bottom to be discharged from the exhaust port 12, ensuring that the corn is always in a relatively ideal storage environment. When the weather is clear and dry, the electric push rod 14 controls all the adjustment plates 13 to rotate synchronously to the required angle, and according to the actual storage conditions, manual flexible adjustment and optimization of ventilation conditions are performed to achieve the best moisture-proof effect.
