[0002] A steel silo is a storage device used to store materials. It is a storage tool made of steel plates riveted, welded or assembled. Originally, it refers to the silo body of a steel silo, but it can also refer to a small steel silo. It is mainly used to store powdery or granular materials such as cement, fly ash, and grain.

[0003] The existing steel silo structure usually uses manual opening of the bottom material gate for material feeding, and the material flows out directly. It cannot achieve quantitative feeding. When it is necessary to control the amount, the staff closes the material gate based on their own experience, which inevitably results in too much or too little material. It is not suitable for situations that require quantitative collection and packaging.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a steel silo that facilitates material unloading to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a steel silo that facilitates material unloading, solving the problem of not being able to achieve quantitative material unloading.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a steel silo for easy material unloading, comprising: a silo body;

[0007] The top of the silo is provided with a feeding chute, the bottom of the silo is provided with a discharging chute, four supporting columns are provided at the bottom of the silo, and a metering component is provided at the bottom of the silo. The metering component includes a frame, which is installed at the bottom of the silo by four connecting rods. The front and back of the inner wall of the frame are provided with sliding grooves, and a sliding plate is slidably connected between two of the sliding grooves. The sliding plate is in close contact with the bottom of the discharging chute, and a through hole is provided on the sliding plate. A metering cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, and a flip cover is movably connected to the outlet at the bottom of the metering cylinder. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame, and a driving component is provided at the bottom of the frame.

[0008] Preferably, the inlet of the metering cylinder is located at the through hole, and the bottom of the flip cover abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate.

[0009] Preferably, both the bottom of the discharge trough and the bottom of the metering cylinder are provided with sealing gaskets.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a fixed plate, on which a first motor is fixedly connected. The output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, and a threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. The top of the threaded block is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper, and a spiral conveying rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. The bottom end of the spiral conveying rod passes through the hopper and extends into the interior of the discharge trough.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the steel silo for easy material unloading provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model provides a steel silo that facilitates material unloading. By opening the discharge chute, the material inside the silo is discharged through the discharge chute and then enters the metering cylinder through the through hole. When the metering cylinder is full, the sliding plate moves to the left by the drive component, thereby misaligning the through hole with the discharge chute. The leftward movement of the sliding plate blocks the discharge chute. As the sliding plate moves to the left, the metering cylinder moves to the left, and the flip cover gradually moves away from the L-shaped plate. After it completely moves away from the L-shaped plate, the flip cover opens downward, allowing the material inside the metering cylinder to be discharged. This achieves quantitative discharge of the material inside the silo, meeting the needs of quantitative collection and packaging. Furthermore, the structure is simple and easy to operate, the entire process is simple and quick, and the unloading accuracy is high, effectively meeting the quantitative unloading needs of different production scenarios.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the steel silo for easy material unloading provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the quantitative component; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the driving component. Figure 4 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the metering cylinder. The steel silo for easy material unloading includes: silo body 1;

[0022] The top of the silo 1 is provided with a feeding chute 2, the bottom of the silo 1 is provided with a discharging chute 3, the bottom of the silo 1 is provided with four supporting columns 4, the bottom of the silo 1 is provided with a metering component 5, the metering component 5 includes a frame 51, the frame 51 is installed at the bottom of the silo 1 by four connecting rods 52, the front and back of the inner wall of the frame 51 are provided with sliding grooves 53, a sliding plate 54 is slidably connected between two of the sliding grooves 53, the sliding plate 54 is in close contact with the bottom of the discharging chute 3, the sliding plate 54 is provided with a through hole 55, the bottom of the sliding plate 54 is fixedly connected with a metering cylinder 56, the outlet of the bottom of the metering cylinder 56 is movably connected with a flip cover 57, the bottom of the frame 51 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped plate 58, and the bottom of the frame 51 is provided with a driving component 6.

[0023] The inlet of the metering cylinder 56 is located at the through hole 55, and the bottom of the flip cover 57 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 58.

[0024] Both the bottom of the discharge trough 3 and the bottom of the metering cylinder 56 are provided with sealing gaskets. The sealing gaskets ensure the sealing between the discharge trough 3 and the sliding plate 54, as well as the sealing between the metering cylinder 56 and the flip cover 57, preventing material from overflowing.

[0025] The drive assembly 6 includes a fixed plate 61, on which a first motor 62 is fixedly connected. The output shaft of the first motor 62 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 63. A threaded block 64 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 63. The top of the threaded block 64 is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 54.

[0026] The first motor 62 is a servo motor that can rotate in both directions as needed. The rotation of the first motor 62 can drive the threaded rod 63 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded block 64 to move to the left, which in turn causes the sliding plate 54 to move to the left. Similarly, after the first motor 62 rotates in the opposite direction, the sliding plate 54 will move to the right and reset.

[0027] When the sliding plate 54 moves to the left, the metering cylinder 56 will move to the left, and the flip cover 57 will gradually move away from the L-shaped plate 58. After it is completely away from the L-shaped plate 58, the flip cover 57 will open downwards, allowing the material inside the metering cylinder 56 to be discharged. As the sliding plate 54 moves to the right, the metering cylinder 56 will move to the right, and the flip cover 57 will move to the right. After it comes into contact with the L-shaped plate 58, it will flip upwards to close and return to the initial position for the next discharge.

[0028] A second motor 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the silo 1. A spiral conveying rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 7. The bottom end of the spiral conveying rod 8 passes through the silo 1 and extends into the interior of the discharge trough 3.

[0029] The rotation of the second motor 7 drives the screw conveyor 8 to rotate, thereby conveying the material inside the silo 1 downward to the discharge chute 3, avoiding blockage of the discharge chute 3 and facilitating material discharge.

[0030] A magnetic block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the metering cylinder 56, and an iron sheet 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the flip cover 57.

[0031] The magnetic block 9 and the iron plate 10 enable the flip cover 57 to be better attached to the metering cylinder 56, increasing stability.

[0032] The working principle of the easy-to-unload steel silo provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0033] During feeding, the material inside the hopper 1 is discharged through the discharge chute 3 and then enters the metering cylinder 56 through the through hole 55. When the metering cylinder 56 is full, the sliding plate 54 moves to the left by the drive component 6, thereby misaligning the through hole 55 with the discharge chute 3. The leftward movement of the sliding plate 54 will block the discharge chute 3. As the sliding plate 54 moves to the left, the metering cylinder 56 will move to the left, and the flip cover 57 will gradually move away from the L-shaped plate 58. After it is completely away from the L-shaped plate 58, the flip cover 57 will open downward, allowing the material inside the metering cylinder 56 to be discharged.

[0034] Compared with related technologies, the steel silo for easy material unloading provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] By opening the discharge chute 3, the material inside the silo 1 is discharged through the discharge chute 3 and then enters the metering cylinder 56 through the through hole 55. When the metering cylinder 56 is full, the sliding plate 54 moves to the left by the drive component 6, thereby misaligning the through hole 55 with the discharge chute 3. The leftward movement of the sliding plate 54 will block the discharge chute 3. As the sliding plate 54 moves to the left, the metering cylinder 56 will move to the left, and the flip cover 57 will gradually move away from the L-shaped plate 58. After it has completely moved away from the L-shaped plate 58, the flip cover 57 will open downward, allowing the material inside the metering cylinder 56 to be discharged. This achieves the quantitative discharge of the material inside the silo 1, meeting the needs of quantitative collection and packaging. Moreover, this setup is simple and easy to operate, the whole process is simple and quick to operate, and the feeding accuracy is high, which can effectively meet the needs of quantitative feeding of materials in different production scenarios.
