Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silo technology, specifically, to a lime storage silo designed to prevent caking. Background Technology
[0002] Lime silos are key pieces of equipment used for storing lime and related products, and are widely used in industries such as construction, metallurgy, and chemicals. With the acceleration of industrialization, the demand for lime in many fields is constantly increasing, placing higher demands on lime storage and transportation. Lime has high chemical reactivity and large particle size; therefore, lime silos must possess excellent storage stability and a reliable conveying system to ensure that the lime does not become damp or clump during storage and can be used smoothly in subsequent applications.
[0003] To prevent lime caking, existing lime silos typically have corresponding dispersing components, such as the lime silo anti-caking device disclosed in CN219447963U. However, this device's method of dispersing lime is too simplistic, resulting in poor dispersing effect. Furthermore, its overall structure is relatively complex, making maintenance inconvenient. To improve the anti-caking effect on lime, this utility model proposes an anti-caking lime storage silo to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lime storage silo that prevents caking, thereby solving the problem of poor lime dispersion effect in existing lime silos.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a lime storage silo for preventing caking, comprising a support base, a silo mounted on the support base, an anti-caking component mounted on the silo, the anti-caking component comprising a power unit and an anti-caking part, the anti-caking part comprising a dispersing shaft, and a plurality of dispersing rods mounted on the dispersing shaft; the power unit is capable of driving the anti-caking part to rotate along its axis or move longitudinally reciprocatingly to disperse the lime in the silo and prevent caking.
[0006] To better realize this utility model, the power unit further includes a control unit, a transmission unit, and a motor. The control unit includes a driven disc, a driven disc seat, a one-way bearing, a spring, a driving disc, and a top block. The driven disc seat is rotatably connected to the hopper via the one-way bearing. The driven disc is slidably connected to the driven disc seat. A spring is provided between the driven disc and the driven disc seat. The top block is mounted on the driving disc and cooperates with the driven disc. The motor and the driving disc are both mounted on the hopper. The transmission unit is located between the motor and the control unit and periodically switches the rotation direction of the motor to transmit it to the driving disc.
[0007] To better realize this utility model, the transmission unit further includes a driven gear, a first half gear, a second half gear, an intermediate transmission gear, and a driving gear. The driven gear is mounted on the driving disc. The first half gear and the second half gear mesh with the driven gear respectively, and at any given time, the driven gear only meshes with the first half gear or the second half gear. The first half gear is fixedly connected to the intermediate transmission gear, and the second half gear is fixedly connected to the driving gear. The driving gear is mounted on the output end of the motor, and the intermediate transmission gear is mounted on the hopper.
[0008] To better realize this utility model, the hopper further includes a hopper body and a hopper cover. The hopper body is provided with a discharge port and a discharge valve. The hopper cover is provided with a feed port, a feed hopper and a feed valve. The hopper cover is provided with a mounting frame, and the anti-caking component is mounted on the mounting frame.
[0009] To better realize this utility model, the driven disc base is further provided with a paddle blade, which is used to smooth the lime in the feed hopper.
[0010] To better realize this utility model, the dispersing shaft is further provided with multiple anti-blocking rods, which are used to unclog the discharge port of the hopper.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) In this utility model, when the anti-caking part rotates along the axis, the dispersing rod starts to rotate. At this time, the dispersing rod starts to disperse the lime in the silo laterally. When the anti-caking part moves longitudinally back and forth, the dispersing rod starts to disperse the lime in the silo longitudinally. By dispersing the lime in a combination of lateral and longitudinal methods, the lime becomes finer and the anti-caking effect is further improved.
[0013] (2) By setting up paddles, this utility model can prevent lime from accumulating near the feed inlet and ensure that the lime in the silo is level.
[0014] (3) By setting an anti-blocking rod, this utility model can prevent the discharge port from becoming blocked when the silo is discharging material. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] This embodiment provides a lime storage silo designed to prevent caking, specifically as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a support base 101, on which a hopper is mounted. An anti-caking assembly is mounted on the hopper. The anti-caking assembly includes a power unit and an anti-caking section. The anti-caking section includes a dispersing shaft 123, on which multiple dispersing rods 109 are mounted. The power unit can drive the anti-caking section to rotate along its axis or move longitudinally reciprocatingly. When the anti-caking section rotates along its axis, the dispersing rods 109 begin to rotate, at which point they begin to laterally disperse the lime in the hopper. When the anti-caking section moves longitudinally reciprocatingly, the dispersing rods 109 begin to longitudinally disperse the lime in the hopper. By dispersing the lime through a combination of lateral and longitudinal movements, the lime becomes finer, further improving the anti-caking effect.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] This embodiment further expands the power unit based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 4-5 As shown, the power unit includes a control unit, a transmission unit, and a motor 106. The control unit includes a driven disc 112, a driven disc seat 113, a one-way bearing 114, a spring 115, a driving disc 116, and a top block 117. The dispersing shaft 123 is mounted on the driven disc 112. The driven disc seat 113 is rotatably connected to the hopper via the one-way bearing 114. Due to the limitation of the one-way bearing 114, the driven disc seat 113 can only rotate in one direction. The driven disc 112 is slidably connected to the driven disc seat 113. A spring 115 is provided between the driven disc 112 and the driven disc seat 113. The top block 117 is mounted on the driving disc 116 and cooperates with the driven disc 112. The motor 106 and the driving disc 116 are both mounted on the hopper. The transmission unit is located between the motor 106 and the control unit and periodically switches the rotation direction of the motor 106 to transmit it to the driving disc 116.
[0028] When the transmission unit transmits the power of the motor 106 to the drive disc 116 in the forward direction, the vertical surface of the top block 117 presses against the driven disc 112 and begins to push the driven disc 112 to rotate. At this time, the driven disc seat 113 rotates synchronously with the driven disc 112. The rotation of the driven disc 112 drives the dispersing shaft 123 to rotate, thus realizing the lateral dispersing operation of the dispersing rod 109 on the lime.
[0029] When the transmission unit transmits the power of the motor 106 in the reverse direction to the driving disc 116, the inclined surface of the top block 117 presses against the driven disc 112. Since the driven disc seat 113 is restricted by the one-way bearing 114, the driven disc 112 cannot rotate. At this time, the spring 115 is compressed, and the driven disc 112 begins to produce longitudinal displacement until the driven disc 112 passes the top block 117. At this time, the driven disc 112 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 115, thereby causing the dispersing rod 109 to move longitudinally back to its original position, thus realizing the longitudinal dispersing operation of the dispersing rod 109 on the lime.
[0030] By changing the direction of power rotation, the control unit can achieve multi-condition control of the anti-caking section, which is simple in structure and stable in operation.
[0031] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0032] Example 3:
[0033] This embodiment further expands the transmission unit based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the transmission unit includes a driven gear 118, a first half gear 119, a second half gear 120, an intermediate transmission gear 121, and a driving gear 122. The driven gear 118 is mounted on the driving disc 116. The first half gear 119 and the second half gear 120 mesh with the driven gear 118, and at any given time, the driven gear 118 meshes with only the first half gear 119 or the second half gear 120. The first half gear 119 is fixedly connected to the intermediate transmission gear 121, and the second half gear 120 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 122. The driving gear 122 is mounted on the output end of the motor 106, and the intermediate transmission gear 121 is mounted on the hopper.
[0034] When motor 106 starts, drive gear 122 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives intermediate transmission gear 121 to rotate synchronously. Drive gear 122 drives second half gear 120 to rotate, and intermediate transmission gear 121 drives first half gear 119 to rotate. When second half gear 120 drives driven gear 118, driven gear 118 causes drive disk 116 to rotate in the forward direction. When first half gear 119 drives driven gear 118, driven gear 118 causes drive disk 116 to rotate in the reverse direction. This setting makes power switching simple and stable, eliminates the need for PLC programming, and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0035] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0036] Example 4:
[0037] This embodiment further expands the silo based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the hopper includes a hopper body 102 and a hopper cover 103. The hopper body 102 is provided with a discharge port and a discharge valve 111 is provided at the discharge port. The hopper cover 103 is provided with a feed port, a feed hopper 104 and a feed valve 107 are provided at the feed port, and a mounting frame 105 is provided on the hopper cover 103. The anti-caking component is mounted on the mounting frame 105.
[0038] The motor 106, drive disc 116, and intermediate transmission gear 121 are all mounted on the mounting frame 105. The feed valve 107 and discharge valve 111 are used to seal the silo and prevent moisture in the air from entering the silo, thus fundamentally solving the problem of lime caking. The feed hopper 104 is used to facilitate the feeding of lime into the silo. After the lime has been fed in, the feed valve 107 will be closed, and the discharge valve 111 will be opened when it is necessary to discharge.
[0039] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0040] Example 5:
[0041] This embodiment further extends the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a paddle 108 is installed on the driven disc base 113. When the driven disc base 113 starts to rotate, the paddle 108 rotates synchronously. If lime is being added at this time, the paddle 108 will smooth the lime in the hopper, preventing lime accumulation near the feed inlet and ensuring that the lime in the hopper is flat. Multiple anti-blocking rods 110 are provided on the dispersing shaft 123. When the dispersing shaft 123 rotates or moves longitudinally, the anti-blocking rods 110 will move synchronously. Since the anti-blocking rods 110 are located at the discharge port, they can prevent the discharge port from becoming blocked when the hopper discharges material.
[0042] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
