Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container storage, specifically to a grain storage container with a side charging and inflation interface. Background Technology
[0002] A grain warehouse is a specialized building for storing grain. Based on its type, it can be divided into room-type warehouses, vertical silos, and other structures.
