Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of material storage equipment, and more specifically, to a silo. Background Art

[0002] When powdered or granular materials are stored in silos, there is a possibility of blockage due to the squeezing between materials and the influence of ambient temperature and humidity. Most existing silos are equipped with arch breakers to prevent material blockage, but at the outlet of the silo, due to the narrowing diameter and material adhesion, there will still be material accumulation and blockage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 4The present embodiment discloses a silo, including a tank body 100, wherein support legs for supporting the tank body 100 are installed at the bottom of the tank body 100, and a support platform 110 is connected between the support legs. The support platform 110 is installed with a motor 120, and a rotatable cone 130 is provided in the tank body 100, and the output end of the motor 120 is connected with a connecting rod, which extends into the tank body 100 and is connected to the cone 130, so that the rotation of the cone 130 can be driven by the motor 120, and a downwardly extending discharge port 200 is provided on the bottom surface of the tank body 100, and the diameter of the discharge port 200 gradually decreases from top to bottom. At the same time, a discharge pipe 300 extending in the horizontal direction is fixed on the support platform 110, and the lower end opening of the discharge port 200 is connected to the discharge pipe 300, so that the discharge port 200 is connected to the discharge pipe 300, and a screw dragon 310 is installed in the discharge pipe 300. The rotation of the cone 130 can prevent the material in the tank body 100 from being blocked, so that the material can enter the discharge channel from the discharge port 200 and then be transported by the auger 310 in the discharge channel.

[0018] The discharge port 200 is equipped with a support frame 210, and the support frame 210 is equipped with a rotatable support rod 220. The support rod 220 extends into the tank body 100. The part of the support rod 220 extending into the tank body 100 is connected to the scraper 400. The rotation of the support rod 220 can drive the rotation of the scraper 400. The scraper 400 contacts the bottom surface of the tank body 100. When the scraper 400 rotates, it can flip and stir the material accumulated at the discharge port 200, thereby ensuring the fluidity of the material.

[0019] The scraper 400 includes a support member connected to the support rod 220 and a scraper blade 430 installed at the bottom of the support member. The support member includes a first rod body 410 and a second rod body 420. The first rod body 410 is connected to the support rod 220, and the second rod body 420 is fixed to the end of the first rod body 410. At the same time, the first rod body 410 extends along the tangential direction of the overall rotation direction of the scraper 400, thereby making the first rod body 410 and the second rod body 420 an L-shaped structure. When the scraper 400 rotates, the material attached to the bottom surface of the tank body 100 can be scraped off by the scraper 430, and the scraped material will accumulate at the corner formed by the first rod body 410 and the second rod body 420. As the material accumulates at the corner formed by the first rod body 410 and the second rod body 420, the material will gradually be pushed to the discharge port 200 until the material falls into the discharge port 200 and enters the discharge channel, thereby preventing the material from adhering to the bottom of the tank body 100, reducing the loss of material during storage, and reducing costs.

[0020] The bottoms of the first and second rods 410, 420 each have mounting grooves 450, into which the scraper 400 is inserted. The scraper 400 can be L-shaped, inserted integrally into the mounting grooves 450 of the first and second rods 410, 420, or can be two long strips, inserted separately into the mounting grooves 450 of the first and second rods 410, 420. The scraper 430, inserted into the mounting grooves 450, is secured by fasteners 440, ensuring a stable connection for the scraper 430 and facilitating installation and removal, making it easier to replace the scraper 430 when worn.

[0021] Part of the support rod 220 extends beyond the discharge port 200 and into the tank body 100, positioning the support rod 220 below the cone 130. The scraper 400 is connected to the portion of the support rod 220 that extends beyond the discharge port 200. A gear 230 is mounted on the top of the support rod 220, near the bottom of the cone 130. A gear ring 131 is mounted on the bottom of the cone 130, meshing with the gear 230. Rotation of the cone 130 drives the support rod 220, which in turn drives the scraper 400.

[0022] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
