Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material storage equipment, and in particular to a combined silo. Background Technology

[0002] Modular silos are storage devices composed of multiple independent cylindrical units. Each cylindrical unit can be manufactured and transported separately, and then assembled on-site into a complete silo. Through modular design and multi-point connection, they provide a flexible, efficient, and stable storage solution. This design not only facilitates transportation and installation, but also makes maintenance and expansion easy, and is suitable for a variety of application scenarios.

[0003] Existing modular silos consist of multiple independent cylindrical units, with connection points between each unit. These connection points are potential weak points, leading to localized stress concentration and increasing the risk of sidewall deformation. Therefore, we propose a modular silo to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to propose a combined silo.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A modular silo includes a silo cap, a hopper, a support frame, and several cylindrical bodies. The top inner wall of the silo cap is fixedly connected to a common fixing rod via multiple inclined plates. The inner wall of each cylindrical body is fixedly connected to a common collar via multiple inclined plates, and the collar is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod. The inner wall of the hopper is fixedly connected to a common support ring via multiple inclined plates, and the bottom end of the fixing rod is movably inserted into the support ring. The collar, the fixing rod, and the multiple inclined plates work together to pull the inner wall of the cylindrical body and prevent deformation of the cylindrical body.

[0007] Preferably, multiple insert plates are provided on the lower inner wall of the bin cap and the cylinder body, and multiple insert sleeves are provided on the upper inner wall of the bin and the cylinder body, with the insert plates movably inserted into the corresponding insert sleeves.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame includes a conical sleeve, the hopper is slidably installed inside the conical sleeve, multiple support feet are fixedly installed on the outer side of the conical sleeve, multiple vertical rods are fixedly installed on the top of the conical sleeve, a ring body one is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the hopper cap, two ring bodies two are fixedly installed on the outer side of the cylinder body, a ring body three is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the hopper, multiple vertical grooves are opened at the bottom of the ring body one, and the vertical rods pass through the ring body three and multiple ring bodies two and are movably inserted into the corresponding vertical grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the hopper and the conical sleeve, the first ring and the corresponding second ring, the second ring and the corresponding third ring are all fixedly connected by multiple bolts.

[0010] Preferably, reinforcing hoops are provided at the connection points of the first ring body and the corresponding second ring body, the second ring body and the corresponding third ring body, and rubber sealing rings are provided on the inner wall of the reinforcing hoops.

[0011] Preferably, the top of both the collar and the supporting ring is provided with a conical protrusion, the cross-section of the first inclined plate, the second inclined plate and the third inclined plate are all triangular, and the two ends of the first inclined plate, the second inclined plate and the third inclined plate are all arc-shaped.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The inner wall of the cylinder is pulled by the cooperation of the collar, the fixing rod and multiple inclined plates to prevent the cylinder from deforming. The cooperation of ring one, ring two and ring three increases the contact surface between the two supporting rings, reduces the pressure of the upper component on the lower component, thereby reducing the pressure on the side wall of the component and further reducing the possibility of silo deformation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A modular silo includes a silo cap 1, a hopper 2, a support frame, and several cylindrical bodies 3. The top inner wall of the silo cap 1 is fixedly connected to the same fixed rod 5 by multiple inclined plates 4. The inner wall of the cylindrical body 3 is fixedly connected to the same collar 7 by multiple inclined plates 6. The collar 7 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 5. The inner wall of the hopper 2 is fixedly connected to the same support ring 9 by multiple inclined plates 3. The bottom end of the fixed rod 5 is movably inserted into the support ring 9. The collar 7, the fixed rod 5, and the multiple inclined plates 6 work together to pull the inner wall of the cylindrical body 3 and prevent the cylindrical body 3 from deforming. The silo cap 1, the hopper 2, and the cylindrical bodies 3 are all components of the modular silo.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple insert plates 10 are provided on the lower inner walls of the cap 1 and the cylinder 3, and multiple insert sleeves 11 are provided on the upper inner walls of the hopper 2 and the cylinder 3. The insert plates 10 are movably inserted into the corresponding insert sleeves 11. The insertion of the insert plates 10 and the insert sleeves 11 facilitates the assembly between the cap 1, the hopper 2 and the cylinder 3, and plays a role in positioning and guiding. The design of the insert plates 10 and the insert sleeves 11 can ensure that the connection between the cap 1, the hopper 2 and the cylinder 3 is tighter, reducing the risk of loosening and displacement.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame includes a conical sleeve 12, the hopper 2 is slidably installed inside the conical sleeve 12, multiple support feet are fixedly installed on the outer side of the conical sleeve 12, multiple vertical rods 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the conical sleeve 12, a ring body 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the hopper cap 1, two ring bodies 25 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the cylinder body 3, a ring body 36 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the hopper 2, multiple vertical grooves are opened at the bottom of the ring body 14, and the vertical rods 13 pass through the ring body 36 and multiple ring bodies 25 and are movably inserted into the corresponding vertical grooves.

[0026] It should be noted that ring 14, ring 2 15, and ring 3 16 are functionally identical and can all be considered as support rings. The contact surface between two adjacent support rings better distributes the pressure at the connection point, reduces local stress concentration, and improves the stability of the overall structure. Through the abutment of two adjacent support rings, the deformation of the cylinder 3 after being filled with material can be effectively reduced. The vertical rod 13 passes through multiple support rings, which can significantly improve the rigidity of the entire silo, making it more stable when bearing internal pressure and external load, and effectively preventing the cylinder 3 from deforming in the horizontal direction after being filled with material.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the hopper 2 and the conical sleeve 12, the first ring 14 and the corresponding second ring 15, the second ring 15 and the corresponding second ring 15, and the second ring 15 and the corresponding third ring 16 are all fixedly connected by multiple bolts.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, reinforcing hoops 17 are provided at the connection points of ring 14 with the corresponding ring 2 15, ring 2 15 with the corresponding ring 2 15, and ring 2 15 with the corresponding ring 3 16. Rubber sealing rings are provided on the inner wall of the reinforcing hoops 17. The setting of multiple reinforcing hoops 17 improves the stability of the entire combined silo structure and seals the connection points of two adjacent support rings.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, both the collar 7 and the supporting ring 9 have a conical protrusion 18 at their top. The cross-sections of inclined plate 1 4, inclined plate 2 6, and inclined plate 3 8 are all triangular. Both ends of inclined plate 1 4, inclined plate 2 6, and inclined plate 3 8 are arc-shaped. Inclined plate 1 4, inclined plate 2 6, and inclined plate 3 8 are functionally identical and can all be regarded as support plates. The cross-section of the support plate is set as a triangle. The two inclined surfaces of the triangle face upwards to guide the material to flow downwards along the inclined surface, reducing the residence time of the material on the inclined plate, preventing material accumulation, and reducing the pressure of the material on the inclined plate. The stress is evenly distributed to all parts of the inclined plate, improving the service life of the support plate.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the hopper 2 is fixedly installed on the conical sleeve 12 of the support frame. The conical sleeve 12 supports the conical surface of the hopper 2 and prevents the hopper 2 from deforming. Then, through the cooperation of the insert plate 10 and the insert sleeve 11, the hopper 2 and the cylinder 3, the cylinder 3 and the cylinder 3 and the hopper cap 1 are movable and locked from bottom to top. This allows the ring body 14, the ring body 2 15 and the ring body 3 16 to be sleeved on the outside of the multiple vertical rods 13. Finally, the two adjacent support rings are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
