[0024] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 2 The material storage device of the present invention is described.

[0025] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the material storage device in the first direction provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated. Figure 1 The material storage device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 100, a bottom plate 200, a drive assembly 300 and an intelligent control system. The box body 100 has a cavity inside for accommodating materials, and an opening is provided at the bottom of the box body 100 for unloading materials. The bottom plate 200 is provided at the bottom of the box body 100 and is used to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the bottom plate 200 blocks the opening. In the second position, the bottom plate 200 releases the blockage of the opening. The drive assembly 300 is provided between the box body 100 and the bottom plate 200 and is used to control the switching of the bottom plate 200 between the first position and the second position. The intelligent control system is electrically connected to the drive assembly 300 and is used to control the operation of the drive assembly 300.

[0026] The present invention utilizes a base plate 200 mounted on the bottom of the housing 100, capable of switching between two positions: in the first position, or the blocking position, the base plate 200 rests against the bottom of the housing 100, completely sealing the opening and preventing material leakage; in the second position, or the unloading position, the base plate 200 moves away from the opening, allowing material to be unloaded smoothly through the opening. An intelligent control system is electrically connected to the drive assembly 300 and is responsible for controlling the operation of the drive assembly 300. When unloading is required, the intelligent control system receives a unloading instruction (e.g., via a button, remote control, or preset program) and then sends a signal to the drive assembly 300. Upon receiving the signal, the drive assembly 300 activates and, through a transmission mechanism, pushes the base plate 200 from the blocking position to the unloading position, allowing material to be unloaded smoothly through the opening. When unloading is complete, the intelligent control system controls the drive assembly 300 again, returning the base plate 200 to the blocking position, restoring the original state.

[0027] Through the above design, the automated unloading process of the material storage device provided by this utility model reduces the need for manual intervention, saving time and labor. Whether storing and unloading ordinary materials or hazardous materials, the device can provide reliable support, avoiding the potential risks of manual operation, especially when handling hazardous materials, reducing the threat to human health.

[0028] Specifically, in order to ensure sufficient strength and durability, the housing 100 can be made of high-strength steel or stainless steel. For materials with strong corrosive properties, the housing 100 can also be made of a corrosion-resistant alloy material or coated with an anti-corrosion coating. The base plate 200 also needs to have high strength and wear resistance, and the same material as the housing 100 can be selected. If the material is abrasive, a wear-resistant layer can be added to the surface of the base plate 200 or engineering plastics can be used. The drive assembly 300 should be made of high-quality materials, such as an aluminum alloy housing with copper motor windings, to ensure its stability and durability under long-term operation.

[0029] The box 100 can be designed in a square, rectangular, or cylindrical shape, depending on the characteristics of the stored material. For granular materials with good fluidity, a conical bottom can be used to facilitate centralized material discharge. The bottom plate 200 can be designed to match the shape of the bottom of the box 100 to ensure a tight seal. When in the discharge position, the bottom plate 200 should be designed to minimize material residue and can be angled or have a guide ramp. The size and shape of the opening should be designed based on the particle size and flow rate of the material to ensure a smooth discharge process.

[0030] The connection between the base plate 200 and the housing 100 can be achieved through slide rails, guide grooves, or other means to achieve smooth movement. The slide rails should be made of wear-resistant materials, such as hardened steel or Teflon coating. The base plate 200 can also be rotatably mounted on the bottom of the housing 110. The connection between the drive assembly 300 and the base plate 200 can be achieved through a transmission mechanism, such as a gear, rack, or chain. The transmission mechanism should have good lubricity and wear resistance.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the base plate 200 is provided with at least one, and the base plate 200 and the driving assembly 300 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0032] Specifically, there are two bottom plates 200, which are rotatably arranged at the bottom of the box body 100, and there are also two drive assemblies 300, which respectively control the rotation of the two bottom plates 200. When in the first position, the two bottom plates 200 are closed and in a horizontal state, at which time the opening at the bottom of the box body 100 is blocked. It should be noted that the bottom plate 200 can be flipped downward under the control of the drive assembly 300, thereby unsealing the opening. And the drive assembly 300 can control the degree of opening of the bottom plate 200 according to actual conditions, thereby controlling the unloading speed of the material. In some possible embodiments, in order to ensure the sealing of the bottom plate 200 with the bottom opening of the box body 100 when the bottom plate 200 is in the first position. Corresponding seals can be provided at the openings of the box body 100 and the bottom plate 200 to ensure the sealing when the two are blocked to prevent material leakage.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly 300 includes a motor 310, a transmission component 320 and a rotating rod 330. The motor 310 can be detachably mounted on the box body 100 by bolts; the transmission component 320 can also be detachably mounted on the box body 100 by bolts or other means, and the input shaft of the transmission component 320 is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the motor 310; the rotating rod 330 is rotatably mounted between the box body 100 and the bottom plate 200, and one end is spline-connected to the output shaft of the transmission component 320.

[0034] Specifically, when the intelligent control system receives a discharge command, it sends a start signal to the motor 310. Once the motor 310 is started, its output shaft begins to rotate. The output shaft of the motor 310 is in transmission connection with the transmission component 320, and the rotation of the motor 310 is transmitted to the rotating rod 330 through the transmission component 320. One end of the rotating rod 330 is connected to the output shaft of the transmission component 320, and the other end is connected to the bottom plate 200. When the transmission component 320 transmits motion to the rotating rod 330, the rotating rod 330 begins to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 330 drives the bottom plate 200 to switch between a first position (blocking position) and a second position (discharging position) at the bottom of the box 100. When the rotating rod 330 drives the bottom plate 200 to the discharge position, it disengages from the opening at the bottom of the box 100, allowing the material to be discharged through the opening. After discharge is complete, the intelligent control system controls the motor 310 to reverse, causing the rotating rod 330 to return the bottom plate 200 to the blocking position, resealing the opening.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission component 320 includes a reducer and a brake, both of which are connected to the rotating rod 330. The reducer is used to control the rotation speed of the rotating rod 330, and the brake is used to brake the rotating rod 330.

[0036] In the above structure, the output shaft of the motor 310 is connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer. The speed reducer reduces the speed of the motor 310 output shaft while increasing torque. This ensures that the rotating rod 330 has sufficient force to move the base plate 200, and the movement is smoother. A brake is connected to the speed reducer and the rotating rod 330 to lock the position of the rotating rod 330 when needed. When the motor 310 is started, the brake is released, allowing the rotating rod 330 to rotate freely. When unloading is completed, the brake is relocked to prevent the base plate 200 from moving due to external interference when in the blocking position. The speed reducer transmits the adjusted speed to the rotating rod 330, which begins to rotate and drives the base plate 200 between the blocking position and the unloading position. When the rotating rod 330 drives the base plate 200 to the unloading position, the brake temporarily locks the rotating rod 330 to prevent the base plate 200 from moving during unloading.

[0037] Figure 2 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of the material storage device in the second direction provided by the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, a connector 400 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 200, and the rotating rod 330 is spline-connected to the connector 400. Multiple connectors 400 are provided, and the multiple connectors 400 are spaced apart. The connector 400 includes a rotating ring 410 and a rotating rib 420 that are interconnected. The rotating ring 410 is spline-connected to the rotating rod 330, and the rotating rib 420 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 200.

[0039] A stopper 500 is provided on the side of the housing 100, and the rotating rod 330 is rotatably connected to the stopper 500. Multiple stoppers 500 are provided, and the stoppers 500 are spaced apart. The stopper 500 includes a stopper ring 510 and fixed wings 520 that are connected to each other. The stopper ring 510 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 330, and the fixed wings 520 are connected to the housing 100.

[0040] In the above scheme, when the intelligent control system issues a discharge command, the motor 310 starts, adjusts the rotation speed through the reducer and transmits power to the rotating rod 330. The rotating rod 330 starts to rotate and drives multiple connecting parts 400 to rotate synchronously through the spline connection. The rotating ring 410 in these connecting parts 400 rotates with the rotating rod 330, thereby driving the rotating rib 420 at the bottom of the bottom plate to move together. As the rotating rib 420 rotates, the bottom plate switches between the blocking position and the discharge position. During the rotation of the rotating rod 330, the limit member 500 on the side of the box body provides guidance and support for the rotating rod 330 through the limit ring 510, ensuring that the rotating rod 330 smoothly drives the bottom plate to move. At the same time, the fixed wing 520 fixes the limit member 500 on the box body, ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0041] The embodiment of the present utility model is connected to the base plate through multiple connecting parts 400. The rotational force of the rotating rod 330 can be evenly distributed on the base plate, avoiding the problem of excessive force on a single point and improving the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the base plate. Secondly, the design of the limiter 500 not only provides a guiding function for the rotating rod 330, but also increases the overall stability of the box. In addition, compared with other connection methods, the spline connection has better centering and load-bearing capacity, reducing the relative wear between the rotating rod 330 and the base plate. Finally, the multi-point connection design allows any connection point to be replaced or repaired individually when a problem occurs, reducing maintenance costs and complexity, and improving the reliability and service life of the system.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the intelligent control system includes a controller and a position sensor. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 310; the position sensor is provided in the box 100 and is used to detect the position information of the bottom plate 200 and transmit the position information to the controller.

[0043] In this embodiment, the intelligent control system includes a controller and a position sensor. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 310 and is used to control the start, stop and direction of the motor 310; the position sensor is arranged inside the box 100 and is used to detect the position information of the bottom plate 200 in real time and transmit this information to the controller. When unloading is required, the intelligent control system receives the unloading instruction, and the controller immediately starts the motor 310. The motor 310 adjusts the speed through the reducer and transmits power to the rotating rod 330. The rotating rod 330 drives the multiple connecting parts 400 at the bottom of the bottom plate 200 through a spline connection. The rotating rings in these connecting parts 400 rotate with the rotating rod 330, thereby driving the rotating ribs at the bottom of the bottom plate 200 to move the bottom plate 200 to the unloading position.

[0044] During this process, the position sensor continuously monitors the position of the bottom plate 200 and transmits real-time position information to the controller. Based on this position information, the controller determines whether the bottom plate 200 has reached the predetermined unloading position. Once the bottom plate 200 reaches the unloading position, the position sensor detects its position and immediately transmits this information to the controller. The controller then stops the motor 310 and locks the rotating rod 330 with a brake, ensuring that the bottom plate 200 remains in the unloading position. At this point, the bottom plate 200 disengages from the opening at the bottom of the box 100, allowing the material to be discharged smoothly through the opening.

[0045] After the material is unloaded, the intelligent control system receives another reset command. The controller sends a reverse signal to the motor 310, causing the motor 310 to reverse and drive the rotating rod 330 to rotate in the opposite direction via the reducer. The rotating rod 330 drives the bottom plate 200 from the unloading position back to the blocking position via the connector 400. The position sensor continues to monitor the movement of the bottom plate 200 and transmits the position information to the controller when the bottom plate 200 returns to the blocking position. After the controller confirms that the bottom plate 200 has returned to the blocking position, it stops the motor 310 and the brake locks the rotating rod 330 again, ensuring that the bottom plate 200 firmly closes the opening.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, a stirring assembly is provided within the cavity. The stirring assembly includes a stirring motor and stirring teeth. The stirring motor is fixedly mounted on the housing 100, and the stirring teeth are rotatably disposed within the cavity. When stirring is required, the stirring motor can be activated, and the stirring motor drives the stirring teeth to stir the material.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
