[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the waterproof steel silo roof provided by this utility model;

[0024] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The front sectional view shown is illustrated. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of section B is shown below; Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the internal structure. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The enlarged schematic diagram of section C is shown below; Figure 7 for Figure 5 The enlarged schematic diagram of part D is shown. The waterproof steel silo roof includes: a silo roof 1, a protective cover 2 fixedly connected to the top of the silo roof 1, a motor 3 fixedly connected inside the protective cover 2, an output shaft 4 fixedly connected to the top of the motor 3, a turntable 5 fixedly connected to the outside of the output shaft 4, the output shaft 4 passing through the turntable 5 and extending to the outside of the turntable 5, a semi-circular plate 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable, a rotating groove 7 opened on the top of the silo roof 1, a rotating ring 8 movably connected inside the rotating groove 7, the top of the rotating ring 8 fixedly connected to the other end of the semi-circular plate 6, a synchronization block 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the semi-circular plate 6, an inclined plate 10 fixedly connected to the other side of the synchronization block 9, a brush 11 provided at the bottom of the inclined plate 10, a connecting block 12 fixedly connected to the other end of the inclined plate 10, a semi-circular block 13 fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting block 12, an auxiliary rotating groove 14 opened on the outside of the silo roof 1, and the semi-circular block 13 slidably connected to the auxiliary rotating groove 14.

[0025] Motor 3 drives output shaft 4 and turntable 5 to rotate, causing semicircular plate 6 to move in a circular motion via rotating groove 7 and rotating ring 8. Synchronizing block 9 drives inclined plate 10 and its bottom brush 11 to clean the top of the silo. Three inclined plates 10 are evenly spaced, which can distribute force evenly during rotation, ensuring stable rotation and avoiding wobbling caused by uneven force. This ensures that brush 11 can stably and efficiently clean all parts of the silo top 1, keeping the silo top 1 clean, preventing the accumulation of debris from affecting the waterproof and other properties of the silo top, extending the service life of the silo top 1, and ensuring the normal use of the steel silo.

[0026] A fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the inclined plate 10, and a circular sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 15. A spring 17 is provided inside the circular sleeve 16, and a circular block 18 is slidably connected inside the circular sleeve 16. An extension rod 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular block 18. The extension rod 19 passes through the circular sleeve 16 and extends to the outside of the circular sleeve 16. A push plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extension rod 19, and a silicone scraper 21 is provided at the bottom of the push plate 20.

[0027] The circular block 18, which is slidably connected inside the sleeve 16, is tightly fitted with the spring 17. When subjected to external force, the circular block 18 can slide smoothly along the axial direction within the sleeve 16, transmitting the external force to the spring 17 to compress or extend it, thus adapting to different force conditions. The extension rod 19, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular block 18, plays the role of force transmission and extension. It passes through the sleeve 16 and extends to the outside, transmitting the movement of the circular block 18 to the push plate 20 at the bottom. As a contact component with a large area, the push plate 20 can evenly distribute the force from the extension rod 19 onto the silicone scraper 21. Due to its material properties, the silicone scraper 21 has good flexibility and scraping performance, and can closely adhere to the surface of the bin top 1 under the push of the push plate 20. When the surface of the bin top 1 is uneven or has protrusions or depressions, the spring 17 will expand and contract accordingly according to the actual force conditions. For example, when encountering a protrusion, spring 17 is compressed, and the round block 18 slides upward, allowing the push plate 20 and silicone scraper 21 to smoothly pass over the protrusion while maintaining a certain pressure to ensure effective cleaning of the protruding part. When encountering a depression, spring 17 extends, pushing the round block 18 downward, allowing the silicone scraper 21 to still maintain close contact with the surface of the chamber top at the depression, effectively scraping away dust, debris, etc. As the inclined plate 10 moves in a circular motion with the turntable 5, the silicone scraper 21 can always maintain close contact with the surface of the chamber top 1 with appropriate pressure, efficiently cleaning various stains and debris, further enhancing the cleaning effect on the chamber top 1, thereby better maintaining the cleanliness of the chamber top 1 and preventing the accumulation of debris from adversely affecting the waterproof performance and other properties of the chamber top 1.

[0028] A hollow cone 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft 4.

[0029] The hollow cone 22 prevents debris from falling into the motor 3 and guides the flow of rainwater, ensuring the stable operation of the entire device.

[0030] The hollow cone 22 is threadedly connected to a retaining ring cover 23 at its bottom.

[0031] The retaining ring cover 23 can further protect the motor 3 from dust and debris. At the same time, when it is necessary to repair the motor 3, the retaining ring cover 23 can be unscrewed to make it easy to access the motor 3, making the repair process smoother and more efficient.

[0032] The outer surface of the silo top 1 is provided with an anti-corrosion coating 24.

[0033] The anti-corrosion coating 24 is used to prevent the silo roof 1 from being corroded, extend its service life, and ensure that the steel silo roof can function stably for a long time.

[0034] The inclined plate 10 is provided with a reflective sticker 25 on its exterior.

[0035] The reflective sticker 25 reflects light when rotating or stationary, which can drive away birds and prevent them from staying, thereby reducing bird droppings on the top of the shed 1 and helping to keep the top of the shed 1 clean.

[0036] The working principle of the waterproof steel silo roof provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the motor 3 starts, and the output shaft 4 fixedly connected to its top begins to rotate. Since the output shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the turntable 5, the turntable 5 also rotates. At the same time, one end of the semi-circular plate 6 at the bottom of the turntable 5 is fixed to the turntable 5, and the other end is fixed through the rotating ring 8 movably connected to the rotating groove 7. This allows the semi-circular plate 6 to rotate in a stable circular motion trajectory around the rotating ring 8 under the drive of the turntable 5. Then, during the rotation of the semi-circular plate 6, the synchronization block 9 fixedly connected to its outside also moves together. The synchronization block 9 drives the inclined plate 10 fixedly connected to the other side to make a circular motion. The brush 11 at the bottom of the inclined plate 10 will clean the surface of the conical silo roof 1. Since the silo roof 1 is conical, dust, bird droppings, and debris can slide down naturally by gravity during cleaning. The brush 11 sweeps the dust, bird droppings, and debris towards the edge of the silo roof 1 during the circular motion, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and effect. The connecting block 12 at the other end of the inclined plate 10 and the semicircular block 13 fixed on the connecting block 12 slide within the auxiliary rotating groove 14 opened on the outside of the silo top 1 as the inclined plate 10 moves. This sliding, combined with the rotation of the semicircular plate 6, ensures the stability and precision of the inclined plate 10 during its circular motion, allowing the brush 11 to continuously, stably, and effectively perform all-round cleaning of the surface of the silo top 1, preventing the accumulation of dust, bird droppings, and debris on the silo top 1. Finally, when the motor 3 stops rotating, the entire cleaning structure stops working, and the brush 11 remains at the position where cleaning is completed, waiting for the next start of the motor 3 to begin cleaning again. Through this periodic cleaning operation, the cleanliness of the silo top 1 is maintained, reducing the adverse effects of debris accumulation on the waterproof performance and other structures of the silo top 1, further ensuring the waterproof performance and overall stability of the steel silo top, extending the service life of the silo top 1, and ensuring the stable performance of its waterproof function, thus ensuring that the steel silo can safely and reliably store materials for a long time.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, the waterproof steel silo roof provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] This utility model provides a waterproof steel silo roof. The protective cover 2 fixedly connected to the top of the silo roof 1 effectively protects the internal motor 3. The motor 3 drives the turntable 5 to rotate through the output shaft 4. The semi-circular plate 6 at the bottom of the turntable 5 is connected to the rotating ring 8 in the rotating groove 7, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the movement. The synchronizing block 9, the inclined plate 10, and the brush 11 move in conjunction with each other. The brush 11 can clean the surface of the silo roof 1, removing dust, debris, etc., to prevent them from accumulating and clogging the drainage system or damaging the waterproof layer. The connecting block 12 at the other end of the inclined plate 10 is connected to the semi-circular block 13. The semi-circular block 13 slides in the auxiliary rotating groove 14, further ensuring the stability and precision of the entire cleaning structure during the movement. This improves the overall waterproof performance and durability of the steel silo roof, reduces the risk of water leakage caused by debris accumulation, extends the service life of the silo roof 1, and ensures the safety and quality of the stored materials in the steel silo.
