Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A pulverized coal silo includes a storage tank 1. Several electric heating grids 8 are installed near the top inside the storage tank 1. An exhaust assembly 5 is installed near the top of the outer wall of the storage tank 1. The exhaust assembly 5 includes an exhaust pipe 50 communicating with the interior of the storage tank 1. An air pump 51 and a filter box 52 are installed on the exhaust pipe 50. Filter cotton 520 is installed inside the filter box 52. A stirring mechanism is installed inside the storage tank 1. A feeding hopper 7 is installed near the top of the outer wall of the storage tank 1. A first sealing valve 70 is installed on the feeding hopper 7. A discharge hopper 10 is integrally formed at the bottom of the storage tank 1. A discharge pipe assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the discharge hopper 10, and the discharge pipe assembly 4 has two discharge ports. This pulverized coal silo includes a storage tank 1. The electric heating grids 8 installed near the top inside the storage tank 1 are used to heat the air at the top of the storage tank 1 to remove moisture from the air and prevent pulverized coal from clumping or becoming damp. A ventilation assembly 5 is installed near the top of the outer wall of storage tank 1. An air pump 51 and a filter box 52 extract gas from storage tank 1 to remove moisture-containing gases and maintain its dryness. An internal stirring mechanism is also provided in storage tank 1 to agitate the pulverized coal and prevent sedimentation. The feeding hopper 7 and the first sealing valve 70 facilitate the addition of pulverized coal, while the discharge hopper 10 and the discharge pipe assembly 4 ensure the orderly discharge of the pulverized coal. The overall design improves the storage and processing efficiency of pulverized coal and ensures its quality.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, an annular support plate 2 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the storage tank 1 near the bottom, and at least three support legs 3 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the bottom of the annular support plate 2. This design improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the pulverized coal silo, allowing it to be placed stably on the ground, while also helping to distribute the weight of the storage tank 1 and reduce local pressure.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft 60 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the top of the storage tank 1, with a plurality of stirring blades 61 fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of the stirring shaft 60, and a stirring motor 6 with its output shaft coaxially fixed to the top of the storage tank 1. This design allows the pulverized coal to be fully stirred in the storage tank 1, improving the uniformity and flowability of the pulverized coal.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the storage tank 1 includes an outer shell 11 on the outer side and a support layer 12 on the inner side, with an insulation layer 13 provided between the support layer 12 and the outer shell 11. The insulation layer 13 effectively reduces the heat exchange between the inside and outside of the storage tank 1, improves the heat preservation effect of the pulverized coal, and reduces energy consumption.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the feed pipe assembly 4 includes a connecting pipe 41 installed at the bottom of the feed hopper 10. Two extension pipes 40 are integrally formed symmetrically at the bottom of the connecting pipe 41, communicating with the connecting pipe 41. A second sealing valve 42 is installed on the connecting pipe 41. This design allows pulverized coal to be discharged orderly from the storage tank 1, and the second sealing valve 42 enables quantitative discharge of pulverized coal, improving the utilization efficiency of the pulverized coal.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the filter box 52 has an opening on one side of its outer wall, and a cover plate is fixedly installed at the opening by bolts. This design facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the filter box 52. When the filter cotton 520 is clogged or needs to be replaced, the cover plate can be easily opened for replacement or cleaning.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the electric heating mesh 8 is positioned above the discharge port of the feeding hopper 7, and the stirring blades 61 are positioned below the electric heating mesh 8. This design ensures that newly added pulverized coal falls onto the electric heating mesh 8.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting pipe 41 is rotatably mounted to the bottom of the hopper 10 via a sealed bearing. This design allows the connecting pipe 41 to rotate relative to the hopper 10 while maintaining a sealed state, facilitating the installation and use of the pulverized coal silo, and also improving the flexibility and reliability of pulverized coal discharge.

[0033] When using the pulverized coal silo of this utility model:

[0034] Coal powder addition and preliminary treatment: When coal powder needs to be added to the coal powder silo, open the first sealing valve 70 on the feeding hopper 7, and the coal powder enters the storage tank 1 through the feeding hopper 7. An electric heating grid 8 is provided above the discharge port of the feeding hopper 7, which can heat the air at the top of the storage tank to remove moisture from the air, so that the storage tank remains dry.

[0035] Air handling inside storage tank 1: An exhaust assembly 5 is installed on the outer wall of storage tank 1 near the top. The exhaust assembly 5 includes an exhaust pipe 50 communicating with the inside of storage tank 1, an air pump 51, and a filter box 52. When the air pump 51 operates, it draws gas from inside storage tank 1 through the exhaust pipe 50 and sends the gas containing moisture or impurities into the filter box 52. The filter box 52 is designed to prevent coal dust from being drawn out of storage tank 1.

[0036] Stirring and uniform heating of pulverized coal: The storage tank 1 is equipped with a stirring mechanism, which includes a stirring shaft 60 and several stirring blades 61. The stirring shaft 60 is driven to rotate by a stirring motor 6. When the stirring motor 6 is working, it drives the stirring shaft 60 and the stirring blades 61 to rotate, which fully stirs the pulverized coal in the storage tank 1. Heat is transferred through the air to ensure that the pulverized coal is heated evenly and to prevent the pulverized coal from settling at the bottom of the storage tank 1.

[0037] Thermal storage of pulverized coal: The outer wall of storage tank 1 includes an outer shell 11, a support layer 12, and an insulation layer 13. The insulation layer 13 effectively reduces the heat exchange between the inside and outside of storage tank 1, improving the thermal insulation effect of pulverized coal. With the combined action of the electric heating mesh 8 and the stirring mechanism, pulverized coal is stored at a suitable temperature, reducing energy consumption and maintaining the quality of pulverized coal.

[0038] Orderly discharge of pulverized coal: When pulverized coal needs to be discharged, the second sealing valve 42 at the bottom of the discharge hopper 10 is opened. The pulverized coal in the storage tank 1 enters the connecting pipe 41 of the discharge pipe assembly 4 through the discharge hopper 10, and then is discharged in an orderly manner through the two extension pipes 40. The connecting pipe 41 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the discharge hopper 10 via a sealed bearing, and can rotate relative to the discharge hopper 10 while maintaining a sealed state. This facilitates the installation and use of the pulverized coal silo, and also improves the flexibility and reliability of pulverized coal discharge.

[0039] In summary, the coal powder silo of this utility model, through the design of the electric heating grid 8, the exhaust assembly 5, the stirring mechanism, the insulation layer 13, and the discharge pipe assembly 4, achieves efficient storage and processing of coal powder. Optimizations have been made in all aspects, including feeding, storage, stirring, and discharging, improving the efficiency of coal powder storage and processing and ensuring the quality of the coal powder.
