Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel silo technology, specifically to a steel silo body edge sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Steel silos are mainly used to store powdery and granular materials such as cement, fly ash, slag powder, clinker, and grain. Steel silos are storage tools made of steel plates riveted, welded, or assembled. The original meaning refers to the silo body of a steel silo.

[0003] The existing silo bottom edge and support frame are mostly sealed with rubber gaskets, but after long-term use, they are easily corroded by wind, rain and sun, causing the rubber to age easily and thus reducing the rubber's sealing performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problem of rubber gaskets aging due to wind and sun exposure and reducing their sealing performance, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing structure for the edge of a steel silo body.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a steel silo body edge sealing structure, including a support, a silo body, and a discharge hopper. The discharge hopper is installed below the support, and the silo body is positioned above the support. A sealing assembly is provided between the silo body and the support. The sealing assembly includes a support base, which is symmetrically distributed and welded to the support. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the support base, and a rubber gasket is placed inside the two grooves. The bottom end of the silo body is inserted into the groove and positioned on the rubber gasket. A sealing ring is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the rubber gasket, and the outer side of the sealing ring is in contact with the outer side of the silo body. A pressure plate is movably provided inside the groove, and the inner side of the pressure plate is in contact with the outer side of the silo body. A symmetrically distributed connecting assembly is provided between the two support bases. By moving the pressure plate downward, the pressure plate squeezes the sealing ring, causing the sealing ring to deform and fill the gap between the outer side of the silo body and the inner wall of the groove, thereby sealing the bottom edge of the silo body. The support base is sealed with a ring-shaped array of fixed blocks at its top. A groove is formed on the side of each fixed block near the chamber, and a slider slides inside the groove. A right-angle plate is fixed on the side of the slider near the chamber, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the right-angle plate away from the slider. Moving the slider within the groove moves the right-angle plate, which in turn moves the pressure plate. An electric telescopic rod is fixed at the top of the groove, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the top of the slider, allowing for easy movement of the slider. Both the rubber pad and the pressure plate are ring-shaped, allowing for sealing with the chamber. The sealing ring is a hollow square tube, allowing for deformation and sealing. A conical cover is fixed to the outside of the chamber, located on the upper surface of the support base. The conical cover shields the sealing components, preventing the rubber structure from aging easily.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate and a support plate. One end of the support plate is fixedly installed on one end of the support base. The connecting plate is located at the end of the support base away from the support plate. A threaded rod is fixedly provided on the outer side of the connecting plate. One end of the threaded rod movably passes through the support plate. A hexagonal nut is threaded onto the outer side of the threaded rod. One side of the hexagonal nut fits against one side of the support plate. A symmetrically distributed U-shaped pad is provided between the two support bases. By passing the threaded rod through the support plate and placing the U-shaped pad between the two support bases, and then rotating the hexagonal nut to connect and fix the two support bases, it is easy to connect the two support bases. A symmetrically distributed screw rod movably passes through the outer side of the connecting plate. One end of the screw rod is threaded into the outer side of the support base. The screw rod can be used to easily fix the connecting plate to the support base.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] 1. The right-angle plate drives the pressure plate to move downward, and the pressure plate squeezes the sealing ring, causing the sealing ring to deform and fill the gap between the outer side of the chamber and the inner wall of the groove, thereby sealing the bottom edge of the chamber. This can prevent rainwater and sun exposure from corroding the rubber gasket and causing it to age easily, thus extending its service life.

[0009] 2. Fix the connecting plate onto the support base using screws, and pass the threaded rod through the support plate. Then, connect and fix the two support bases by rotating the hexagonal nut. This makes it easy to connect the two support bases and thus facilitates installation. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a steel silo body edge sealing structure, including a support 3, a silo body 1, and a discharge hopper 4. The discharge hopper 4 is installed below the support 3, and the silo body 1 is positioned above the support 3. A sealing assembly 2 is provided between the silo body 1 and the support 3. The sealing assembly 2 includes a support base 21, which is symmetrically distributed and welded to the support 3. The upper surface of the support base 21 has grooves 22, and rubber pads 23 are placed inside the two grooves 22. The bottom end of the silo body 1 is inserted into the grooves 22 and is positioned close to the rubber pads. On the upper surface of the rubber pad 23, a sealing ring 24 is fixedly provided. The outer side of the sealing ring 24 fits against the outer side of the chamber 1. A pressure plate 25 is movably provided inside the groove 22. The inner side of the pressure plate 25 fits against the outer side of the chamber 1. Symmetrically distributed connecting components 26 are provided between the two support bases 21. As the pressure plate 25 moves downward, it compresses the sealing ring 24, causing the sealing ring 24 to deform and fill the gap between the outer side of the chamber 1 and the inner wall of the groove 22, thereby sealing the bottom edge of the chamber 1. A series of fixed blocks 27 arranged in a circular array are fixed at the top. A groove 28 is formed on the side of the fixed blocks 27 near the compartment 1. A slider 29 slides inside the groove 28. A right-angle plate 210 is fixed on the side of the slider 29 near the compartment 1. The upper surface of a pressure plate 25 is fixedly connected to the end of the right-angle plate 210 away from the slider 29. The movement of the slider 29 in the groove 28 can drive the right-angle plate 210 to move, and the right-angle plate 210 can drive the pressure plate 25 to move. An electric telescopic rod 211 is fixed at the top of the groove 28. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 29. The electric telescopic rod 211 can easily drive the slider 29. The rubber pad 23 and the pressure plate 25 are both annular structures. The annular structure can cooperate with the chamber 1 to seal. The sealing ring 24 is a hollow square tube structure. The hollow square tube structure can deform to facilitate sealing. A conical cover 5 is fixedly provided on the outside of the chamber 1. The conical cover 5 is located on the upper surface of the support base 21. The conical cover 5 can shield the sealing component 2 to prevent the rubber structure from aging easily.

[0019] The connecting assembly 26 includes a connecting plate 261 and a support plate 263. One end of the support plate 263 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support base 21. The connecting plate 261 is located at the end of the support base 21 away from the support plate 263. A threaded rod 262 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 261. One end of the threaded rod 262 movably passes through the support plate 263. A hexagonal nut 264 is threaded onto the outer side of the threaded rod 262. One side of the hexagonal nut 264 fits against one side of the support plate 263. A space is provided between the two support bases 21. The symmetrically distributed U-shaped pads 266 are connected and fixed between the two support bases 21 by passing the threaded rods 262 through the support plate 263 and placing the U-shaped pads 266 through the support bases 263. The two support bases 21 are then connected and fixed by rotating the hexagonal nut 264. This facilitates the connection of the two support bases 21. The outer side of the connecting plate 261 is movably connected by symmetrically distributed screws 265. One end of the screws 265 is threaded into the outer side of the support base 21. The connecting plate 261 can be easily fixed to the support base 21 by the screws 265.

[0020] Working principle: When installing the compartment 1, firstly, the connecting plate 261 is fixedly installed on the support base 21 by the screw 265, and the threaded rod 262 passes through the support plate 263. Then, the U-shaped pad 266 is placed between the two support bases 21, and the two support bases 21 are connected and fixed by rotating the hexagonal nut 264. This facilitates the connection of the two support bases 21. Subsequently, the support bases 21 are fixed on the bracket 3, and then the bottom end of the compartment 1 is inserted into the groove 22 and placed on the rubber pad 23. The support rod inside the chamber 1 is welded to the bracket 3. Then, the electric telescopic rod 211 is activated, causing the electric telescopic rod 211 to start working. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 211 extends, causing the slider 29 to move downward in the groove 28. The slider 29 drives the right-angle plate 210 to move, and the right-angle plate 210 drives the pressure plate 25 to move downward. The pressure plate 25 squeezes the sealing ring 24, causing the sealing ring 24 to deform and fill the gap between the outer side of the chamber 1 and the inner wall of the groove 22, thereby sealing the bottom edge of the chamber 1.

[0021] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope.
