[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a plastic granule storage hopper includes a hopper body 1. The inside of the hopper body 1 is provided with a plurality of storage cylinders 204 for storing plastic granules. The inside of the hopper body 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism 2 for the plastic granules in the storage cylinders 204. A feeding hopper 3 with its bottom end extending through the hopper body 1 is welded to the upper surface of the hopper body 1. The inside of the hopper body 1 is provided with a drying mechanism 4 for ventilating the plurality of storage cylinders 204.

[0023] The top of the barrel 1 is connected to a pressure regulating pipe 5, and the bottom of the barrel 1 is provided with a discharge port, which is equipped with a valve.

[0024] Understandable,

[0025] Please see Figures 2 to 4In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism 2 includes a motor 201 mounted on the top of the barrel 1. A connecting column 202 is mounted on the outer side of the output shaft of the motor 201. A disc 203 is welded to the outer side of the connecting column 202. The tops of multiple storage cylinders 204 are rotatably connected to a feeding cylinder 205 via bearings. Multiple stirring cylinders 206 are connected to the outer side of multiple feeding cylinders 205. A first gear 207 is welded to the outer side of multiple feeding cylinders 205 and above multiple storage cylinders 204. The same second gear 208 meshes between multiple first gears 207. A fixing sleeve 209 is welded inside the second gear 208. Plastic granules of different colors are intermittently fed into the inside of the feeding hopper 3. When the plastic granules of a single color are stored, the motor 201 is started, which causes the second gear 208 to start rotating, thereby moving the next storage cylinder 204 to the vertical lower part of the feeding hopper 3 for the storage of the next color of plastic granules.

[0026] Multiple storage cylinders 204 are placed inside the disc 203. The outer side of each storage cylinder 204 is provided with ventilation holes throughout. Each storage cylinder 204 has a discharge valve at its bottom. The feed hopper 3 is located vertically above the leftmost storage cylinder 204. The connecting column 202 is located inside the fixing sleeve 209 and does not contact the fixing sleeve 209.

[0027] Understandably, once storage is complete, the motor 201 is started to stir the plastic granules in multiple mixing drums 206 to prevent the plastic granules from sticking together and affecting the quality.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the drying mechanism 4 includes a hollow cylinder 401 vertically disposed inside the disc 203. The outer side of the hollow cylinder 401 is connected to multiple air guide plates 402 facing the storage cylinder 204. Multiple nozzles are connected to the side of the multiple air guide plates 402 away from the hollow cylinder 401. A connecting cylinder 403 is welded to the bottom of the hollow cylinder 401. The bottom of the connecting cylinder 403 is rotatably connected to the air guide cylinder 404 through a sealed bearing. A connecting pipe 405 is connected to the outer side of the air guide cylinder 404. In order to prevent the plastic particles from becoming damp during storage, the connecting pipe 405 is connected to an external dryer and airflow is delivered to keep the plastic particles in the multiple discharge cylinders dry. When it is necessary to discharge plastic particles of a specific color, simply open the corresponding discharge valve.

[0029] The bottom of the disc 203 is provided with a cylindrical groove that is welded to the hollow cylinder 401, and the inner wall of the cylindrical groove is provided with a plurality of ventilation slots that extend from the disc 203 to the plurality of storage cylinders 204.

[0030] It is understandable that starting the motor 201 will cause the second gear 208 to start rotating, thereby moving the next storage cylinder 204 to a position vertically below the feed hopper 3 for storing the next plastic granules. After storage is completed, starting the motor 201 will cause multiple mixing cylinders 206 to stir the plastic granules, preventing them from sticking together and affecting quality. Connecting the connecting pipe 405 to the external dryer and supplying airflow will keep the plastic granules in the multiple discharge cylinders dry.

[0031] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply, and all electrical components mentioned are conventional and known devices.

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.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0034] When using this plastic granule storage bin, the plastic granules need to be sorted by color for storage. Different colored plastic granules are intermittently fed into the feed hopper 3. After a single color of plastic granules is stored, the motor 201 is started, which causes the second gear 208 to rotate, thereby moving the next storage cylinder 204 to a position vertically below the feed hopper 3 for storing the next color of plastic granules. After storage, the motor 201 is started again, causing multiple mixing cylinders 206 to stir the plastic granules to prevent them from sticking together and affecting quality. To prevent the plastic granules from becoming damp during storage, the connecting pipe 405 is connected to an external dryer and airflow is supplied to keep the plastic granules in the multiple discharge cylinders dry. When a specific color of plastic granules needs to be discharged, simply open the corresponding discharge valve.
