Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage equipment technology, and in particular to a feed storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of pelleted feed, to achieve centralized production and improve efficiency, the produced feed needs to be temporarily stored in storage tanks. After a certain quantity is stored, it is then bagged and packaged. Because the storage tanks are large, the feed at the bottom experiences significant pressure when discharged from the bottom outlet, often causing blockages at the outlet and hindering the smooth bagging process.

[0003] To address this issue, the prior art, specifically the invention patent with authorization announcement number CN116750355B, provides a pellet feed storage device that can be widely applied in the field of feed storage technology. This device solves the technical problem that in existing enclosed boxes, if the amount of pellet feed is large, the smoothness of the discharge process is affected, easily leading to blockage. Increasing the discharge opening, however, results in a very large discharge volume at one time. The device includes an outer box and an inner box; partitions arrayed inside the inner box; a through hole in the center of each partition; a flexible bag disposed within the through hole, with a limiting rope between the end of the flexible bag and the side wall of the inner box; a movable component installed at the bottom of the outer box; the movable component includes a side plate with a force sensor; and a striking device installed on the partition, the striking device containing a control motor that communicates with the force sensor.

[0004] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems: the existing patented technology uses a striking device to unclog the blocked feed pellets, which solves the problem after the blockage occurs, but cannot prevent the blockage. The problem of feed being squeezed and blocking the outlet still exists. In addition, the plastic being squeezed together will also affect heat dissipation. Prolonged high temperature will cause the feed to deteriorate, resulting in economic losses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a feed storage tank that prevents feed compression, facilitates smooth feed flow, and avoids spoilage due to high heat.

[0006] The technical solution to the technical problem solved by this utility model is as follows: An embodiment of this utility model provides a feed storage tank, including a tank body. The tank body is a hollow shell with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. Multiple partitioning mechanisms are arranged vertically in the tank body. Each partitioning mechanism includes a partition plate, a movable cover, and a cylinder. The partition plate is funnel-shaped with a central opening. The edge of the partition plate is connected to the inner wall of the tank body. The two sides of the central opening of the partition plate are provided with slots opposite each other. The movable cover is installed in the slots. The cylinder body is connected to the tank body through a rotating shaft. The end of the cylinder's telescopic rod is connected to the end face of the movable cover through a rotating shaft.

[0007] As an optimization, the opening at the center of the partition plate is rectangular, and the movable cover is also rectangular. Setting both the opening at the center of the partition plate and the movable cover to be rectangular facilitates the installation of the movable cover in the slots on both sides of the opening at the center of the partition plate.

[0008] As an optimization, the tank is cylindrical, and at least two partitioning mechanisms are provided. The distance between the partitioning mechanisms is less than the diameter of the tank. The distance between the bottom partitioning mechanism and the bottom of the tank is less than the diameter of the tank, and the distance between the top partitioning mechanism and the top of the tank is less than the diameter of the tank.

[0009] As an optimization, the separating mechanism also includes a counterweight, a connecting rod, a tension spring, and a rotating shaft. Multiple round rods are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the movable cover. The counterweight is positioned below the round rods and fits against them. A connecting rod and a tension spring are respectively installed at both ends of the counterweight. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the end face of the counterweight, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft. Both ends of the rotating shaft are mounted on the inner wall of the tank through bearing seats. The upper end of the tension spring is installed on the bottom surface of the separating plate, and the lower end is connected to the end of the counterweight.

[0010] As an optimization, the feed storage tank also includes a support, a discharge mechanism, and a cover plate. The tank body is vertically mounted on the support, the cover plate is located on the feed inlet at the top of the tank body, and the discharge mechanism is located on the discharge outlet at the bottom of the tank body.

[0011] As an optimization, the unloading mechanism includes a motor, a sleeve, and a turn wheel. The sleeve is a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends. The upper opening of the sleeve is connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the tank. The motor is installed on the outside of the sleeve, and the turn wheel is installed inside the sleeve. The center of the turn wheel is connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0012] As an optimization, multiple levers are arranged along the circumference of the actuating wheel, and the two ends and sides of the actuating wheel are in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0013] The effects provided in the description of this utility model are merely those of the embodiments, and not all the effects of this utility model. The above technical solutions have the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By incorporating multiple vertically arranged partitions within the tank, with each partition plate forming a funnel shape and a central opening, the tank is divided into multiple layers. The connection between these layers can be controlled by a cylinder-driven movable cover. During feed loading, the extension rods of all cylinders retract, opening the central openings of all partition plates. As feed is added, at intervals after each layer is filled, the extension rod of one cylinder extends, closing the central opening of that partition plate, until the entire tank is full. Unloading proceeds sequentially from the bottom layer upwards. This feed storage tank prevents bottom feed compression, facilitates smooth feed flow, and avoids spoilage due to high heat.

[0015] 2. Setting the height of each layer to be less than the diameter of the tank can prevent feed from piling up and being crushed. By setting a round rod and a counterweight, the moving cover will impact during opening and closing, thus vibrating the feed above the partition plate, preventing feed from piling up, clearing feed from corners, and improving the completion of unloading.

[0016] 3. Under the influence of gravity and the vibration of the hammer, the feed falls between the plates on the actuating wheel. The rotation of the motor can drive the feed from the upper opening of the sleeve to the lower opening, thus achieving quantitative discharge. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The components include: tank body 1, support 2, unloading mechanism 3, cover plate 4, partitioning mechanism 5, motor 31, sleeve 32, actuating wheel 33, partition plate 51, movable cover 52, cylinder 53, counterweight 54, connecting rod 55, tension spring 56, rotating shaft 57, and round rod 521. Detailed Implementation

[0030] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the invention will be described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Figures 1 to 13 As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a feed storage tank includes a tank body 1, which is a hollow shell with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. Two partition mechanisms 5 are vertically arranged within the tank body 1. The feed storage tank also includes a support 2, a discharge mechanism 3, and a cover plate 4. The tank body 1 is vertically mounted on the support 2, the cover plate 4 is located at the feed inlet at the top of the tank body 1, and the discharge mechanism 3 is located at the discharge outlet at the bottom of the tank body 1.

[0032] like Figures 4 to 11 As shown, the separating mechanism 5 includes a separating plate 51, a movable cover 52, and a cylinder 53, as... Figure 8 As shown, the partition plate 51 is funnel-shaped with a central opening. The edge of the partition plate 51 is connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1. Slots are provided on both sides of the central opening of the partition plate 51, and the movable cover 52 is installed in these slots. The cylinder body of the cylinder 53 is connected to the tank body 1 via a rotating shaft, and the end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 53 is connected to the end face of the movable cover 52 via the rotating shaft. The central opening of the partition plate 51 is rectangular, and the movable cover 52 is rectangular. Setting both the central opening of the partition plate 51 and the movable cover 52 to be rectangular facilitates the installation of the movable cover 52 in the slots on both sides of the central opening of the partition plate 51.

[0033] The tank 1 is cylindrical, and at least two partitioning mechanisms 5 are provided. The distance between the partitioning mechanisms 5 is less than the diameter of the tank 1. The distance between the bottom partitioning mechanism 5 and the bottom of the tank 1 is less than the diameter of the tank 1, and the distance between the top partitioning mechanism 5 and the top of the tank 1 is less than the diameter of the tank 1. Setting the height of each layer to be less than the diameter of the tank 1 can prevent feed from piling up and being crushed.

[0034] The separating mechanism 5 also includes a counterweight 54, a connecting rod 55, a tension spring 56, and a rotating shaft 57. Multiple round rods 521 are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the movable cover 52. The counterweight 54 is positioned below the round rods 521 and is in contact with them. One connecting rod 55 and one tension spring 56 are respectively installed at each end of the counterweight 54. One end of the connecting rod 55 is connected to the end face of the counterweight 54, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 57. Both ends of the rotating shaft 57 are mounted on the inner wall of the tank body 1 via bearing seats. The upper end of the tension spring 56 is installed on the bottom surface of the separating plate 51, and the lower end is connected to the end of the counterweight 54. By setting the round rods 521 and the counterweight 54, the round rods 521 and the counterweight 54 will collide during the opening and closing of the movable cover 52, thereby vibrating the feed above the separating plate 51. This prevents feed accumulation, removes feed from corners, and improves the completion rate of unloading.

[0035] By vertically dividing the tank 1 with multiple partition mechanisms 5, and with each partition plate 51 having a funnel-shaped opening at its center, the tank 1 is divided into multiple layers. The connection between these layers can be controlled by a cylinder 53 driving a movable cover 52. During feed loading, the telescopic rods of all cylinders 53 retract, opening the central openings of all partition plates 51. Then, as feed is added, at intervals after each layer of tank 1 is filled, the telescopic rod of one cylinder 53 extends, closing the central opening of one partition plate 51, until the entire tank 1 is full. Unloading begins from the bottom layer and proceeds sequentially upwards. This feed storage tank prevents bottom feed compression, facilitates smooth feed flow, and avoids spoilage due to high heat.

[0036] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the unloading mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, a sleeve 32, and a turning wheel 33. The sleeve 32 is a cylindrical shape with openings at both ends. The upper opening of the sleeve 32 is connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the tank 1. The motor 31 is installed on the outside of the sleeve 32, and the turning wheel 33 is installed inside the sleeve 32. The center of the turning wheel 33 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 31. Multiple turning plates are arranged along the circumference of the turning wheel 33, and the two ends and sides of the turning wheel 33 are in contact with the inner wall of the sleeve 32. Under the action of gravity and the vibration of the weight 54, the feed falls between the turning plates on the turning wheel 33. The rotation of the motor 31 can drive the feed to transfer from the upper opening to the lower opening of the sleeve 32, realizing quantitative discharge.

[0037] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
