[0003] Concrete cement storage tanks are used to store cement by conveying equipment. When in use, cement can be discharged by opening the discharge valve of the concrete cement storage tank. However, during discharge, lime tends to adhere to the inner wall of the concrete cement storage tank and cannot be cleaned, which affects the discharge. Therefore, we propose a concrete cement storage tank that facilitates the cleaning of cement adhering to the inner wall and ensures the discharge effect, thus solving this defect of the existing technology.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, the automatic switching valve opens, the heating wire heats the airflow into the connecting seat, and the heated airflow is discharged into the storage chamber through the exhaust pipe to dehumidify the stored cement. The one-way exhaust valve opens to discharge the humid airflow.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the exhaust pipe is provided with exhaust holes at equal intervals on its exterior, and a breathable sponge sleeve is provided on the exterior of the exhaust pipe to cover the exhaust holes.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the exhaust port facilitates the even discharge of airflow from the exhaust pipe, and the breathable sponge sleeve isolates the cement to prevent cement from clogging the exhaust port.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the storage bin is provided with a feeding connector, and the lower end of the storage bin is provided with multiple support seats at equal intervals.
[0022] Using the above technical solution, the feed connector is connected to the conveying and feeding equipment to realize the feeding and storage of materials, and the support base ensures the stability of the storage bin.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. This concrete cement storage tank, through the operation of the set air supply component, discharges air into the annular hollow seat. At the same time, the airflow enters the hollow cylinder, and under the action of air pressure, it pushes the piston rod to move. The elastic element extends synchronously, so that when the piston rod moves, it drives the striking head to move synchronously, striking the surface of the storage tank. This causes the inner wall of the storage tank to vibrate, causing the cement adhering to the inner wall to fall off. Compared with the existing technology, it achieves cleaning of the inner wall of the cement storage tank, while also ensuring the unloading effect of the cement storage tank and avoiding blockage.

[0048] Solution principles and expansion
[0049] Working principle
[0050] Cement storage and impact cleaning: Cement enters the storage silo 1 through the feed connector 18 for storage. When it is necessary to clean the cement adhering to the inner wall of the storage silo 1, the booster fan 10 is started. By utilizing the interconnection between the booster fan 10, the connecting seat 8, the exhaust pipe 9, the automatic exhaust valve 11, the connecting pipe 7, and the annular hollow seat 2, air is supplied to the annular hollow seat 2. After the air enters the annular hollow seat 2, it enters the hollow cylinder 3. Under the action of air pressure, it pushes the piston rod 4 to move, and the elastic element 5 extends synchronously. When the piston rod 4 moves, it drives the impact head 6 to move synchronously, impacting the outer wall of the storage silo 1, causing the inner wall to vibrate and causing the adhering cement to fall off, thus cleaning the inner wall of the storage silo 1 and ensuring the cement unloading effect.
[0051] Gas circulation and exhaust: After circulating in the annular hollow seat 2 and hollow cylinder 3, the gas is discharged through the automatic exhaust valve 11. The opening and closing of the automatic exhaust valve 11, in conjunction with the operation and stop of the booster fan 10 and the extension and retraction of the elastic element 5, enables the repeated movement and striking of the striking head 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0052] Dehumidification: The water-absorbing particles in the storage seat 12 absorb the moisture in the incoming air, and the dustproof net 13 isolates particulate dust in the incoming airflow to ensure the cleanliness of the incoming air. The heating wire heats the airflow entering the connecting seat 8. The heated airflow passes through the exhaust pipe 9 and exhaust pipe 14 and is discharged into the storage chamber 1 through the opening of the automatic switch valve 15 to dehumidify the stored cement. The humid airflow is discharged through the one-way exhaust valve 17 to prevent the cement from getting damp and clumping, thus ensuring the quality of the cement.
[0053] Uniformity of exhaust: The exhaust holes on the exhaust pipe 14 allow the heated airflow to be evenly discharged into the storage chamber 1. The breathable sponge sleeve 16 isolates the cement to prevent the exhaust holes from being blocked and ensures the dehumidification effect.
[0054] Solution expansion
[0055] Multi-point tapping and uniform cleaning: Depending on the size and shape of the storage chamber 1, the number of annular hollow seats 2 and hollow cylinders 3 can be increased to achieve multi-point tapping, improve the cleaning effect, and ensure that the cement on the inner wall of the storage chamber 1 can fall off evenly.
[0056] Gas heating and temperature control: In cold regions or environments with high humidity, the power of the heating wire can be increased or multiple sets of heating wires can be set to improve the heating effect of the gas. At the same time, the gas temperature can be precisely controlled through an automated control system to ensure that the cement is stored at a suitable temperature and to avoid affecting the quality of the cement due to excessively high or low temperatures.
[0057] Beneficial effects
[0058] Efficient cleaning of cement adhering to the inner wall: The air supply component and the knocking device can effectively clean the cement adhering to the inner wall of storage bin 1, avoid cement blockage, improve the unloading effect, and ensure the normal supply of cement.
[0059] Dehumidification and quality assurance: Dehumidification of cement is achieved by heating gas to prevent the cement from becoming damp and clumping, thus ensuring the quality of the cement, extending its shelf life, and reducing production costs.
[0060] In summary, the concrete cement storage tank of this embodiment, through its reasonable design and innovative structure, achieves efficient cleaning of cement adhering to the inner wall of the storage silo and dehumidification of the cement storage. It has the advantages of high efficiency, stability, and high degree of automation, providing a reliable cement storage equipment for concrete production, and has broad application prospects and market value.
