Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transfer technology, specifically a vertical multi-functional horizontal material storage silo. Background Technology
[0002] In manufacturing and logistics, efficient material flow is crucial. Material warehouses, as a vital link in this flow, play an irreplaceable role. As storage locations, material warehouses can rationally adjust the inbound and outbound rhythms of materials according to production needs and logistics plans. In the event of fluctuations in production pace or changes in logistics demands, material warehouses can act as an effective buffer, ensuring a stable supply of materials.
[0003] Currently available vertical material silos only have a conical valve on the body, requiring a slanted screw conveyor to transport materials. This slanted screw also needs to be fixed and reinforced, which is quite troublesome. Furthermore, they do not have a weighing system, so the materials need to be conveyed to a weighing device for weighing. Therefore, we propose a vertical multi-functional horizontal material silo. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vertical multi-functional horizontal material silo. It realizes real-time material metering through a weighing mechanism, and facilitates material unloading at different heights through horizontal and vertical conveying pipes. It can also realize material loading, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vertical multi-functional horizontal material silo, comprising a material bucket, a horizontal conveying mechanism, and a vertical conveying mechanism;

The upper end of the conveying pipe two is provided with a discharge pipe. Real-time material metering is achieved through a weighing mechanism. At the same time, the horizontal and vertical conveying pipes facilitate material feeding at different heights and can also realize material feeding.

[0011] Furthermore, the transverse conveying mechanism includes a motor, a motor base, a gear, a gear, a spiral conveying shaft, a conveying pipe, and a lower connecting port. The lower end of the material bucket is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the transverse conveying mechanism also includes an end cap, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the first conveying pipe to prevent material from being discharged from the first conveying pipe when it is used in conjunction with the second conveying pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the weighing support mechanism includes a support leg, a weighing sensor, and a fixed foot. A weighing sensor is provided at the upper end of each support leg, and a uniformly distributed fixed foot is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer arc surface of the material bucket.
