[0035] like Figure 1-10The square malt bin shown includes a bin body 1 with a large upper end and a small lower end. The upper open end of the bin body 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed cover plate 5, and the fixed cover plate 5 cannot completely cover the upper open end of the bin body 1. The bin body 1 is quadrangular and includes a square bin portion 101. The upper open end edge of the square bin portion 101 is fixedly connected to a rectangular upper frame 8. A crossbeam 801 is fixedly connected between a pair of opposite side edges of the upper frame 8. The crossbeam 801 is parallel to the length direction of the upper frame 8. The upper surfaces of the crossbeam 801 and the upper frame 8 have vertical positioning columns 804. The positioning columns 804 can pass through the fixed cover plate 5 and cooperate with the nut to realize the constraint of the fixed cover plate 5. The crossbeam 801 and the upper frame 8 are fixedly connected. A longitudinal beam 802 is fixedly connected between the parts of the upper frame 8 located below the fixed cover plate 5, and the longitudinal beam 802 is perpendicular to the cross beam 801. Ribs 803 are fixedly connected between the adjacent side edges of the upper frame 8 located below the fixed cover plate 5, and the extension direction of the ribs 803 is inclined relative to the cross beam 801 and the longitudinal beam 802, so as to further enhance the structural strength of the upper frame 8. The cross-sections of the cross beam 801, the longitudinal beam 802 and the ribs 803 are all right angles. A window 504 is provided in the central part of the fixed cover plate 5 to facilitate workers to observe the remaining amount of malt in the bin body 1. Normally, there are two longitudinal beams 802, and the window 504 is located between the two longitudinal beams 802.
[0036] The fixed cover plate 5 is rotatably connected to the movable cover plate 6. The movable cover plate 6 is connected to the fixed cover plate 5 and cannot cover the edge of the open end of the bin body 1. When the movable cover plate 6 is rotated to be parallel to the fixed cover plate 5, the upper open end of the bin body 1 can be completely covered. When the movable cover plate 6 is in the inclined open state, malt can be poured into the bin body 1. The side of the fixed cover plate 5 close to the movable cover plate 6 has an upper flange 503 formed by stamping. The upper flange 503 is first bent upward and then backward. The side of the movable cover plate 6 close to the fixed cover plate 5 has an upper flip cover 601 also formed by stamping. The upper flip cover 601 is first moved upward, then backward, and finally downward. The upper flange 503 can contact the inner wall of the upper flip cover 601 when the movable cover plate 6 is parallel to the fixed cover plate 5. The step-shaped sealing surface formed in this way can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the bin body 1 through the matching gap between the movable cover plate 6 and the fixed cover plate 5. At least two first hinge frames 502 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed cover 5. In this embodiment, two first hinge frames 502 are provided. The outer side surface of the upper flange 503 is fixedly connected to the second hinge frame 602. The number and position of the second hinge frame 602 correspond to the first hinge frame 502, and the first hinge frame 502 and the second hinge frame 602 at the corresponding position are rotatably connected by a bolt structure. The side of the movable cover 6 has a reinforcing plate 603 extending to both ends of the upper flip cover 601, which can effectively improve the bending resistance of the movable cover 6. The inner wall of the reinforcing plate 603 can fit with the outer side surface of the upper frame 8, thereby effectively preventing rainwater from entering the warehouse body 1 through the gap between the movable cover 6 and the upper frame 8. The upper surface of the movable cover 6 is fixedly connected with a handle 604 away from the upper flip cover 601. The movable cover 6 can be easily opened or closed by grasping the handle 604.
[0037] The upper surface of the fixed cover 5 is fixedly connected with a vertical stand 501, which is used to limit the maximum opening angle of the movable cover 6. The upper end of the stand 501 is rotatably connected with a hook 7. The lower surface of one end of the hook 7 is provided with a hook groove 701, and the upper surface of the other end is provided with a pressing handle 702. The pressing handle 702 is located at the end away from the movable cover 6 and can limit the rotation range of the hook 7 relative to the stand 501. The upper surface of the movable cover 6 is fixedly connected with a hook rod 605, which is used to engage with the hook groove 701, thereby preventing the movable cover 6 from falling naturally. This function is particularly convenient when adding materials into the warehouse body 1.
[0038] The lower open end of the silo body 1 is fixedly connected with a bottom cover 2, which is used to prevent the malt from falling straight down in the vertical direction. This is also the key to making the silo body 1 have a stable storage function. The lower end of the square silo part 101 has an inverted quadrangular pyramid-shaped conical silo part 102. The specific structure of the bottom cover 2 includes a diversion silo 201 fixedly connected to the lower open end of the conical silo part 102. The side of the diversion silo 201 has a material guide pipe 202. There are two material guide pipes 202, which are located on the opposite sides of the diversion silo 201. The material guide pipe 202 extends in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the malt in the silo body 1 can only be discharged in the horizontal direction under the squeezing action of gravity, and cannot be discharged directly in the direction of gravity. This makes it easier to control the discharge speed and discharge amount of the malt.
[0039] The four corners of the square warehouse part 101 are fixedly connected with vertical legs 3, and the legs 3 include angle plates 301. The inner walls of the angle plates 301 are in contact with and fixedly connected to the two vertical outer side surfaces at the corners of the square warehouse part 101. The upper ends of the angle plates 301 are fixedly connected to the upper frame 8 to provide a stable support force for the upper frame 8. The adjacent angle plates 301 are also fixedly connected with horizontal plates 4. The cross sections of the horizontal plates 4 and the angle plates 301 are both right angles. Therefore, the angle plates 301 and the horizontal plates 4 have a high bending resistance. The lower ends of the angle plates 301 are fixedly connected. A flat plate 302 is connected, and a nut 304 is fixedly connected to the upper or lower end surface of the flat plate 302. The flat plate 302 is provided with a through-hole structure larger than the inner diameter of the nut 304. The flat plate 302 is threadedly connected to a screw 303 through the nut 304. The screw 303 can pass through the flat plate 302, and the lower end of the screw 303 is fixedly connected to a foot pad 305, which is used to disperse the pressure applied by the entire malt bin to the placement. By rotating the screw 303, the height of the main part of the malt bin relative to the placement surface can be adjusted within a certain range.
[0040] Working principle: When adding materials, open the movable cover 6 and let the hook groove 701 of the hook 7 bite the hook rod 605. The movable cover 6 may remain in an inclined state. At this time, the malt raw materials can be poured into the warehouse body 1 through the opening at the upper end of the warehouse body 1 that is not covered by the fixed cover 5. Since the guide tube 202 at the lower end is sheathed by the connected pipe, the valve structure of the pipe is closed, and the malt entering the warehouse body 1 will remain in the warehouse body 1. When the malt stock in the warehouse body 1 reaches an appropriate range, the pressure handle 702 at the end of the hook 7 can be pressed down, and the front end of the hook 7 is lifted, the hook groove 701 is disengaged from the hook rod 605, and the movable cover 6 will flip downward under the action of its own gravity until it is released from the upper frame 8. A stepped blocking structure is formed all around the movable cover 6. The malt bin storing malt raw materials does not have to worry about being wet by rain even if it is placed outdoors.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and description merely illustrate the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
