TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of biomass fuel airing and storage, more specifically, to a full-automatic airing and storage biomass fuel bin. BACKGROUND
[0002] When used as gasification furnace fuel, biomass fuel needs to control moisture below 30%, while the moisture of part of the biomass fuel collected directly is as high as 30% to 70%. Currently, the biomass fuel used in the factory is stacked in a conventional steel structure bin, which cannot play an airing role, so it needs to be dried or aired outside the factory before being used.
[0003] The biomass fuel drying needs to purchase related equipment, which will increase the investment in the early stage. The biomass fuel airing occupies a large site and needs to be operated outside the factory. If the fire prevention supporting measures are not complete or the weather is rainy, snowy, windy, etc., the biomass fuel cannot be covered in time, which will affect the airing time and cause unnecessary loss. In addition, the biomass raw material dried or aired needs to be transported to the raw material bin at the use site, which also needs additional cost.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems that may occur in the stacking, drying and airing of biomass fuel, the utility model provides a full-automatic airing and storage biomass fuel bin. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0028] Example:
[0029] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a fully automatic biomass fuel drying and storage bin, which is mainly divided into three sections: a fixed bin 1 in the middle section and two movable bins 2 at the ends. The two movable bins 2 at the ends are coaxially connected to the left and right sides of the fixed bin 1 in the middle section. The movable bins 2 at the ends can move towards the middle section via several roller sets 3 installed at the bottom, and are fitted onto the outside of the fixed bin 1 in the middle section. Figure 1 The middle arrow indicates the direction in which the end section movable hopper 2 moves towards the middle section. The intersection of the end section movable hopper 2 and the middle section fixed hopper 1 is connected by a baffle 4, and the baffle 4 is fixed to the middle section fixed hopper 1.
[0030] In the above, the fixed silo 1 in the middle section is immovable and is used to store biomass fuel; the movable silo 2 in the end section is movable towards the middle section and is used to dry the biomass fuel. Figure 1 (referring to point a in the middle).
[0031] More specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, baffles 4 are vertically fixed at both ends of the middle section fixed hopper 1, and concave parts 13 are correspondingly fixed to the outer side of the end section movable hopper 2. The horizontal plate with the free end facing the center of the hopper in the baffle 4 can be adapted to be inserted into the concave part 13. This insertion connection method can ensure that the end section movable hopper 2 and the middle section fixed hopper 1 are connected to each other while ensuring the sealing of the connection.
[0032] Meanwhile, the concave part 13 is fixedly connected to the edge plate 14 installed on the corresponding outer end face of the end section moving hopper, and the edge plate 14 is fixedly connected to the metal plate 15 installed on the inner bottom surface of the end section moving hopper. The baffle 4 is fixedly connected to the metal plate 16 installed on the inner bottom surface of the middle section fixed hopper.
[0033] In the above, the closure between the end section movable hopper 2 and the middle section fixed hopper 1 is achieved by inserting the concave part 13 and the baffle 4 to realize a movable connection and provide wind and rain protection. The baffle 4 is connected to the main structure of the middle section fixed hopper, and the concave part 13 is connected to the main structure of the end section movable hopper. At the same time, the edge plate 14, the metal plate 15 and the concave part 13 are connected to each other to play a waterproof and sealing role. The connection between the baffle 4 and the metal plate 16 can also play a certain role in waterproofing and sealing.
[0034] In this embodiment, several roller sets 3 are all rolled and installed in the grooves of the concrete track 5 on the ground. Each roller set 3 is equipped with an intelligent power device 6 that controls the rotation of the rollers. A support beam 7 is fixed above the intelligent power device 6, and a silo steel column 8 for supporting and connecting the end section mobile silo 2 is fixed above the support beam 7. In this way, the support beam 7, the intelligent power device 6, and the silo steel column 8 can form a whole. That is, the main structure of the end silo and the intelligent power device 6 become a whole, so that the entire end section mobile silo 2 structure and the intelligent power device 6 can work in a unified and coordinated manner.
[0035] In this embodiment, the concrete track 5 mainly serves as a load-bearing structure and roadbed for the end section movable hopper 2. In a further specific embodiment, steel pads 10 are laid in the track grooves of the concrete track 5 as roller road surfaces. The steel pads 10 can evenly distribute the load of the rollers controlled by the intelligent power device 6 on the concrete track 5, thus playing a role in stress dispersion and protection.
[0036] In a further specific embodiment, the concrete track 5, the roller assembly 3, and the intelligent power device 6 are all covered by a protective cover plate 11. The protective cover plate 11 is fixed to the outer edge of the concrete track 5 by a component, and at the same time, the corresponding intelligent power device 6 and roller assembly 3 are closed on top. The upper end of the protective cover plate 11 is inserted into the lower flange of the corresponding support beam but is not fixed.
[0037] Furthermore, a metal plate 12 is installed on the outer side of the silo steel column 8. The metal plate 12 is located at the upper end of the protective cover 11 and can prevent foreign objects from entering the inner cavity enclosed by the protective cover 11. Figure 2 The part at point b refers to the indoor floor.
[0038] In the above, the protective cover plate 11 is fixed to the outer edge of the concrete track by the component and encloses the intelligent power device 6, etc. The upper end of the protective cover plate 11 is inserted into the lower flange of the support beam without being fixed, and the metal plate 12 acts on the upper end of the protective cover plate. This whole set of devices can provide protection against rain, snow, dust and debris for the entire intelligent power device 6 and concrete track 5.
[0039] A real-time weather monitoring instrument 9 is installed at the hopper opening of the end section mobile hopper 2. An intelligent control system is installed on the outside of the entire fuel hopper. Both the intelligent power unit 6 and the real-time weather monitoring instrument 9 are electrically connected to the intelligent control system.
[0040] The real-time weather monitoring instrument 9 wirelessly transmits the real-time outdoor weather environmental data to the intelligent control system. The intelligent control system then transmits the signal to the intelligent power unit 6 based on the real-time weather changes and controls the rollers to rotate, causing the end section mobile hopper 2 to move accordingly.
[0041] That is, if the outdoor weather is fine, the intelligent control system will move the end section mobile hopper 2 to the middle section to enable the biomass fuel to evaporate moisture quickly in the outdoor drying process; if there is rain, snow, strong wind or other weather, the intelligent control system will move the end section mobile hopper 2 to the fuel drying area to avoid the adverse external environment from affecting the biomass fuel, thereby enabling the biomass fuel to evaporate excess moisture quickly and meet the production process requirements.
[0042] In a further specific embodiment, an electric roller shutter door 17 electrically connected to the intelligent control system is also installed at the outer opening of the end section mobile hopper 2. When the end section mobile hopper 2 moves to the fuel drying area, the electric roller shutter door 17 is lowered to block the opening, which can further prevent rain and snow from entering the biomass fuel hopper.
[0043] In a further specific embodiment, the intermediate fixed silo 1 is provided with a feeding device hole 18, and both the intermediate fixed silo 1 and the end movable silo 2 are equipped with dustproof mesh windows 19.
[0044] This utility model discloses a fully automatic drying and storage biomass fuel bin, which serves as an automatic drying and storage unit in biomass projects. If the moisture content of the biomass fuel meets the combustion requirements, the end section movable bin 2 remains extended and closed to prevent moisture loss. If the moisture content of the biomass fuel does not meet the combustion requirements, the end section movable bin 2 extends or retracts towards the middle section fixed bin 1 according to the intelligent control system, exposing the biomass fuel with excessive moisture to the outdoor environment for drying. In case of rain, snow, strong winds, or other weather conditions, the real-time weather monitoring instrument 9 transmits signals through the intelligent control system to control the intelligent power unit 6 to move the end section movable bin 2, achieving fully automatic coverage and protection of the biomass fuel, protecting it from external weather conditions, and ensuring a continuous and stable supply of biomass fuel.
