Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain storage technology, and in particular to a multifunctional grain storage silo ventilation and cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] Temperature control is one of the key factors in grain storage. Excessive temperature and humidity can not only cause grain to spoil, but also increase the growth of pests and mold, thereby affecting the quality and shelf life of the grain. Therefore, designing effective ventilation and cooling devices is crucial for grain storage.
[0003] Existing ventilation methods for grain storage silos typically involve natural ventilation or external blowers to assist air convection within the silo for cooling. While these methods can achieve some degree of cooling, they often result in uneven ventilation and make it difficult to achieve rapid cooling. Using devices such as evaporative coolers is energy-intensive and inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, a multifunctional grain storage warehouse ventilation and cooling device has been developed that can efficiently cool the inside of grain warehouses, prevent the temperature inside the grain warehouses from rising sharply, and save energy and reduce costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing grain storage silos, such as uneven ventilation, difficulty in achieving rapid cooling, and the high energy consumption and inconvenience of using air coolers, this utility model provides a multifunctional grain storage silo ventilation and cooling device that can efficiently cool the inside of the grain silo, prevent the temperature from rising sharply, and save energy and reduce costs.
[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a multifunctional grain storage silo ventilation and cooling device, including a grain silo, an air outlet, an electric rotary switch, an exhaust fan, an air inlet, and a rotating door. An air outlet is connected to the upper left side of the grain silo, and an electric rotary switch is installed on the air outlet. An air inlet is also connected to the upper left side of the grain silo. The air inlet is located below the air outlet, and an exhaust fan is connected to the air inlet. A rotating door is rotatably connected to the right side of the air outlet, and the rotating door is connected to the electric rotary switch by wire.
[0007] Optionally, it also includes a filter screen, which is snapped into the inside of the air outlet.
[0008] Optionally, it also includes a temperature sensor, which is connected to the rear side of the air outlet.
[0009] Optionally, a sealing strip is provided on the air outlet.
[0010] Optionally, a clip is provided on the inside of the air outlet.
[0011] Optionally, the air inlet has a horn-shaped structure.
[0012] This utility model has the following advantages: When the internal temperature of the grain silo rises sharply, the electric rotary switch can be activated to close the rotating door, and then the exhaust fan on the air inlet can be activated to draw air in from the air inlet to quickly cool the inside of the grain silo. This achieves efficient cooling of the inside of the grain silo, avoids a sharp rise in the internal temperature of the grain silo, and saves energy and reduces costs. Attached Figure Description

[0017] References to embodiments herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0018] A multifunctional grain storage silo ventilation and cooling device, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a grain silo 1, an air outlet 2, an electric rotary switch 3, an exhaust fan 4, an air inlet 5, a filter 6, a temperature sensor 7, and a rotating door 8. The air outlet 2 is connected to the upper left side of the grain silo 1. The air outlet 2 is equipped with a sealing strip to prevent air leakage from affecting the airflow distribution. The filter 6 is snapped into the inside of the air outlet 2. The inside of the air outlet 2 is equipped with a slot for easy snapping and replacement of the filter 6. The electric rotary switch 3 is installed on the air outlet 2. The air inlet 5 is also connected to the upper left side of the grain silo 1. The air inlet 5 has a horn-shaped structure, which can cool the air during extraction. The air inlet 5 is located below the air outlet 2. The exhaust fan 4 is connected to the air inlet 5. The rotating door 8 is rotatably connected to the right side of the air outlet 2. The rotating door 8 is wired to the electric rotary switch 3. The temperature sensor 7 is connected to the rear side of the air outlet 2.
[0019] When using this invention, first place the device in the grain storage area, then place the grain to be stored inside the grain silo 1. The temperature sensor 7 indicates the internal temperature of the grain silo 1. When the internal temperature rises slightly, the electric rotary switch 3 can be used to activate the rotating door 8, causing the rotating door 8 to open and allowing ventilation and cooling of the grain silo 1. When the internal temperature of the grain silo 1 rises sharply, the electric rotary switch 3 can be activated to close the rotating door 8, and then the exhaust fan 4 on the air inlet 5 can be activated to draw air in. Due to the horn-shaped structure of the air inlet 5, the air is cooled as it flows through the air inlet 5. The exhaust fan 4 then sends the cold air into the grain silo 1 for rapid cooling, thus efficiently cooling the inside of the grain silo 1, preventing a sharp rise in the internal temperature, and saving energy and reducing costs. The filter screen 6 filters the incoming air to prevent impurities from mixing into the grain.
[0020] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
