Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, specifically a wheat seed storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Wheat seed storage devices are equipment or structures used to store wheat seeds, designed to maintain seed quality and viability to ensure high germination rates and growth potential at sowing time. Modern storage typically uses metal silos made of steel plates, which have good sealing and moisture-proof properties. The silos can be equipped with ventilation systems and temperature and humidity monitoring equipment to effectively control the storage environment and maintain seed quality.
[0003] Traditional seed storage devices mostly use integral welded silos with fixed height and diameter, making it impossible to dynamically adjust the capacity according to the number of seeds. When the storage volume is only 30% of the silo volume, the remaining space cannot be compressed, resulting in resource waste. In addition, large empty silos are prone to forming humid and hot stagnant areas, which exacerbates the risk of mold. Furthermore, the welded structure means that the silo cannot be disassembled, and it needs to be hoisted as a whole during transportation, which places strict requirements on road width and vehicle load capacity, making deployment in remote farmland costly. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wheat seed storage device to solve the technical problems of fixed volume and difficulty in transportation of integral welded silos.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wheat seed storage device, including a base, an extension mechanism on the top of the base, an outer frame, insertion holes at the bottom corners of the outer frame, a transverse groove between the insertion holes, a post fixedly connected to the top corners of the outer frame, a transverse plate between the posts, a threaded hole on one side of the post, a through hole on one side of the insertion hole, a slot on one side of the transverse groove, a sealing strip inserted into the slot, and a sealing sheet on the inner wall of the insertion hole.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension mechanism can be quickly stacked and assembled by inserting the holes at the bottom of the outer frame and the inserts at the top. Users can increase or decrease the number of layers according to storage needs, thus solving the problem of fixed capacity in traditional welded compartments.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple extension mechanisms are provided, arranged sequentially from bottom to top, with a top cover welded to the top of the topmost extension mechanism, and an inlet pipe provided on the top of the top cover.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical stacking of multiple extension mechanisms, such as 4 layers stacked to a height of 6 meters, allows users to flexibly adjust the height of the device according to the site space or seed storage, avoiding the space waste of traditional single-layer warehouses.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to a column, and four columns are provided, with reinforcing ribs provided between the four columns.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the four pillars at the bottom of the base lift the entire device off the ground, preventing ground moisture from directly corroding the chamber, which is especially suitable for rainy seasons or wet terrain areas.
[0011] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on one side of the horizontal plate, and there are two protrusions arranged vertically.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower arranged protrusions on both sides of the horizontal plate and the arc surface of the sealing strip form a multi-level labyrinth seal. The upper protrusions block the vertical intrusion of water vapor; the lower protrusions block the horizontal airflow penetration, which extends the sealing path by 2-3 times and significantly reduces the risk of condensation.
[0013] Furthermore, one side of the sealing strip is arc-shaped, and the sealing strip is made of rubber.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the rubber sealing strip has high elasticity and aging resistance, and can maintain flexibility after long-term use, adapting to the temperature difference between the north and south regions.
[0015] Furthermore, the sockets and posts are compatible, and both the sockets and posts are rectangular in shape.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the matching of rectangular sockets and posts ensures that there is no rotational misalignment during stacking, improves the stability of the connection, and prevents sealing failure caused by interlayer slippage.
[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0018] 1. This utility model features a base and multiple installable extension mechanisms. These extension mechanisms utilize a standardized plug-in structure with holes and posts, allowing for quick stacking or disassembly. Users can add or remove layers according to their actual needs, flexibly adjusting the height and capacity of the storage device. After disassembly, the device can be broken down into flat components (such as the base, outer frame, and top cover), significantly reducing transportation volume. The sealing strip is plug-and-play via slots, ensuring temporary moisture protection while allowing for quick removal without damaging the structure. For long-term use, the sealing can be permanently sealed through welding joints, balancing flexibility and reliability.
[0019] 2. This utility model incorporates a protrusion, through hole, slot, sealing strip, and sealing sheet. The sealing strip is embedded in the slot and forms a labyrinthine barrier with the protrusion, blocking the direct intrusion of external moisture. The sealing sheet on the inner wall of the insertion hole fills the gap between the insertion points, achieving double protection from both inside and outside. Bolts pass through the through hole and threaded hole to ensure a rigid connection between layers, preventing misalignment due to stacking and sealing failure. The rubber sealing strip can deform elastically to adapt to the expansion and contraction of materials caused by temperature differences. After long-term use, the slot can be directly welded to upgrade to a permanent seal, balancing short-term convenience with long-term stability. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] A wheat seed storage device, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes a base 1, with an extension mechanism 2 on the top of the base 1. The extension mechanism 2 includes an outer frame 201, with insertion holes 202 at the bottom corners of the outer frame 201. A transverse groove 203 is provided between the insertion holes 202. Insertion posts 204 are fixedly connected to the top corners of the outer frame 201. A transverse plate 205 is provided between the insertion posts 204. A threaded hole 206 is provided on one side of the insertion post 204, a through hole 207 is provided on one side of the insertion hole 202, and a slot 208 is provided on one side of the transverse groove 203. The slot 208 is used to insert... A sealing strip 209 is attached, and a sealing sheet 210 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 202. The cooperation between the slot 208 and the sealing strip 209 provides a detachable seal. During short-term storage, the rubber sealing strip 209 is inserted to form a labyrinth seal, blocking moisture and pests. During long-term storage, it can be replaced by welding to meet airtightness requirements and realize the switching of sealing level as needed. The sealing sheet 210 on the inner wall of the socket 202 fills the tiny gap between the plug post 204 and the socket, preventing local leakage caused by processing errors and improving the overall moisture-proof performance.
[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple extension mechanisms 2 are provided, arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The top of the top extension mechanism 2 is welded with a top cover 3, and an inlet pipe 4 is provided on the top of the top cover 3. The top cover 3 and the inlet pipe 4 are integrated. The top cover 3 is fixed to the top extension mechanism 2 by welding to prevent rainwater from seeping in. The inlet pipe 4 supports docking with the conveying equipment to realize automated loading and unloading of seeds and reduce the risk of seal damage during manual feeding.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a column 5. There are four columns 5, and a reinforcing rib 6 is set between the four columns 5. The reinforcing rib 6 forms a triangular stable structure between the four columns to prevent the base from deforming due to stacking or full load, and improve the anti-overturning ability.
[0031] See Figure 3 A protrusion 211 is provided on one side of the horizontal plate 205. There are two protrusions 211, which are arranged vertically. The rigid structure of the protrusion 211 can withstand the compression and deformation of the sealing strip 209, thus preventing the sealing strip from shifting and failing after long-term use.
[0032] See Figure 5 One side of the sealing strip 209 is arc-shaped. The sealing strip 209 is made of rubber. The arc surface forms a surface contact with the protrusion 211, which improves the sealing effect. The plug-in structure makes it easy to manually plug and unplug for replacement, and enhances the sealing fit.
[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The socket 202 and the post 204 are compatible, and both the socket 202 and the post 204 are rectangular in shape. The right-angled sides of the rectangular structure are easy to process, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve production efficiency.
[0034] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the base 1 is fixed to the ground by the bottom column 5, and the reinforcing rib 6 improves the overall stability. The bottom insertion hole 202 of the outer frame 201 of the first layer extension mechanism 2 is aligned with the insertion post 204 of the base 1 and inserted vertically. The horizontal structure is aligned by the insertion of the horizontal groove 203 and the horizontal plate 205. The stacking is repeated until the target number of layers, such as 3 layers, is reached. The top cover 3 and the inlet pipe 4 are installed on the top layer. The bolts are passed through the through hole 207 and the threaded hole 206 and tightened to lock the interlayer connection and prevent displacement.
[0035] For short-term use, insert a rubber sealing strip 209 into the slot 208. The arc-shaped structure of the protrusion 211 and the sealing strip 209 forms a labyrinth seal. The sealing piece 210 fills the gaps in the inner wall of the insertion hole 202 to further prevent moisture from entering. When transportation is required, remove the bolts, separate each layer of extension mechanism 2, and check whether the sealing strip 209 is aged or cracked. If damage is found, pull it out through the slot 208 and replace it. Then place it on the vehicle and fix it for transportation.
[0036] When used in a fixed position for a long period of time, after the bolts are fixed, the outer wall circumferential seam is welded to achieve a permanent seal;
[0037] When in use, seeds are injected through the inlet tube 4 of the top cover 3 for seed storage.
