Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container storage, specifically to a grain storage container with a bottom 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. It mainly includes warehouses, storage yards (or drying yards), and facilities for metering, conveying, stacking, cleaning, loading and unloading, ventilation, and drying, and is equipped with measuring, sampling, inspection, and testing instruments.
[0003] Traditional grain storage warehouses have some drawbacks, mainly including:
[0004] Inadequate facilities: Many traditional grain warehouses are built to low standards and have inadequate facilities, which may make the grain susceptible to pests, mold and rodents during storage, resulting in losses.
[0005] Outdated technology: Traditional warehouses may lack modern grain storage technologies, such as electronic temperature measurement, mechanical ventilation, and internal circulation temperature control. These technologies can effectively maintain the freshness and quality of grain and reduce losses.
[0006] Inefficient: Traditional grain storage operations often rely on manual labor, which is inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency grain storage.
[0007] Unreasonable regional distribution: The uneven distribution of grain storage facilities in some areas leads to difficulties in grain storage and increases transportation costs and time.
[0008] High loss rate: Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the loss rate of traditional grain storage methods is relatively high. According to reports, farmers can suffer losses of about 8% in the grain storage process.

[0069] Standardization and compatibility: The standardized design of containers allows grain to be easily transferred between different modes of transport, such as from trucks to trains or ships, improving the compatibility and convenience of logistics.
[0070] Safety: The robust structure of the container protects the grain from the effects of the external environment, and the container can be equipped with an advanced monitoring system to monitor the grain status in real time.
[0071] Cost-effectiveness: Although the initial investment may be high, the durability and reusability of containers can reduce the overall cost in the long run.
[0072] Highly adaptable to the environment: Containers can be used in various climates and environments, without being restricted by geographical location.
[0073] Facilitates supervision and tracking: Containers are easy to seal and lock, which is conducive to the supervision and tracking of food, ensuring the transparency and security of the supply chain.
[0074] The specific implementation of this utility model is as follows:
[0075] The bottom of the grain storage container 1 of this utility model is provided with a through hole 20, and a first charging and inflation connector 2 is embedded in the through hole 20. The first charging and inflation connector 2 includes a first charging interface 21, a first inflation interface 22, and at least two positioning tenons 23. The first charging interface 21 is connected to a charging line, and the first inflation interface 22 is connected to an inflation pipeline. The charging line is connected to the temperature control system inside the grain storage container 1, and the inflation pipeline is connected to the grain storage cavity inside the grain storage container 1. The charging and inflation device includes: a base plate 31, several springs 32, and a docking plate 33. The docking plate 33 is elastically supported above the base plate 31 by the springs 32. A second charging and inflation connector 3 is provided on the docking plate 33. The second charging and inflation connector 3 includes a second charging interface, a second inflation interface, and at least two positioning holes 34. The positioning tenons 23 are centrally symmetrically distributed based on the center of the plane where the first charging / inflating connector 2 is located, and the positioning holes 34 are centrally symmetrically distributed based on the center of the plane where the docking plate 33 is located. The openings of the positioning holes 34 are provided with annular outward-expanding guide ramps, allowing the ends of the positioning tenons 23 to slide into the positioning holes 34. The first charging / inflating connector 2 has two positioning tenons 23, respectively located at both ends of a diagonal line of the plane where the first charging / inflating connector 2 is located. The positioning tenons 23 are located at the edges of the first charging / inflating connector 2, and the positioning holes 34 are located at the edges of the docking plate 33. The height of the positioning tenons 23 protruding from the first charging / inflating connector 2 is greater than the height of the first charging interface 21 and the first inflation interface 22 protruding from the first charging / inflating connector 2. The positioning tenons 23 are simultaneously and vertically inserted into the positioning holes 34. The upper ends of the springs 32 are connected along the edges of the lower surfaces of the docking plate 33, and the lower ends of the springs 32 are connected to the upper surfaces of the base plate 31. The grain storage container 1 has a first end with a door and a second end opposite to the first end, a manual charging interface 41 and a manual inflation interface 42 at the second end of the grain storage container 1. The manual charging interface 41 is connected to the charging line. The manual inflation interface 42 is connected to the inflation line.
[0076] When the first charging / inflating connector 2 of the grain storage container 1 is pressed vertically against the second charging / inflating connector 3, the connecting plate 33, supported by the elasticity of the surrounding springs 32, can partially tilt in the circumferential direction (the spring on the stressed side is pressed down, and the spring on the other end springs up). This guides the positioning tenon 23 to accurately insert along the corresponding positioning hole 34. (Even if the first charging / inflating connector 2 is not completely perpendicular to the second charging / inflating connector 3 during docking, the tilted guiding posture accurately guides the first charging / inflating connector 2 to dock with the second charging / inflating connector 3). This allows the insertion process of the positioning tenon 23 and the positioning hole 34 to guide the second charging interface and the first charging interface 21 to achieve electrical connection, and the second inflation interface and the first inflation interface 22 to dock to replenish the grain storage cavity with anti-oxidation gas. After docking, the springs 32 automatically return to their original position. The returnable tilting posture provided by the springs 32 in this invention, combined with the guiding ramp, achieves automatic guidance docking within a certain angle range, ensuring the accuracy and safety of synchronous docking of multiple connectors such as the second charging interface and the second inflation interface.
[0077] In summary, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a grain storage container with a bottom charging and gas filling interface, which can charge a single grain storage container and replenish protective gas, making it easier to maintain the grain storage status of the grain storage container and extend the grain storage time.
[0078] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
