[0025] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] The present application discloses a powdered spice storage and recovery tank, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1, which comprises a tank body 10, the bottom of the tank body 10 is provided with a discharge port, and a discharge valve 23 is installed on the discharge port; the top of the tank body 10 is provided with a material receiving port 15; the top of the tank body 10 is further provided with an exhaust port 14, and a hard protective net is arranged on the exhaust port 14, and an air filter is installed on the hard protective net.
[0027] The present application adds an exhaust port 14 on the top of the tank body 10, which can discharge the heat entering the tank body 10 with the powdered spices in time, avoiding the temperature inside the tank body 10 being too high; moreover, by adding an air filter, the air entering the tank body can be filtered, preventing dust, impurities and moisture from entering, effectively keeping the powdered spices dry and maintaining the flavor.
[0028] In one embodiment, the hard protection net is a cylindrical structure, which is made of alloy material, and has a joint connected with the exhaust port 14 at the bottom. An air filter is installed around the inside of the cylindrical structure. When the temperature in the tank 10 gradually increases, the internal pressure increases, and the internal air also increases in temperature and pressure. At this time, the hot air after pressurization is discharged from the exhaust port 14, and then discharged to the outside of the tank through the air filter and the hard protection net, thereby reducing the temperature and pressure inside the tank.
[0029] In addition, a cover is further arranged outside the hard protection net. The cover can be made of a plate material without holes. The cover is arranged outside the hard protection net from top to bottom, and there is a gap between the inner wall of the cover and the protection net to discharge hot air. By arranging the cover, damage to the hard protection net or the air filter caused by external debris can be avoided.
[0030] The air filter is a device for removing particulate matter and pollutants from air, which is widely used in industries, medical, electronic, food and beverage industries, and air purification systems in homes and commercial places. The air filter in this embodiment is a screen-shaped air filter attached to the inner wall of the hard protection net.
[0031] Generally, the tank 10 is designed as a funnel (i.e. a cone), which can facilitate smooth unloading of the material. As shown in FIGS. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tank 10 in this embodiment includes a cylindrical segment 11 at the upper part and a conical segment 12 at the lower part. By increasing the cylindrical segment 11, the capacity of the tank 10 can be increased. After increasing the cylindrical segment 11, the exhaust port 14 and the material receiving port 15 are arranged in the cylindrical segment 11.
[0032] For example, the conical segment 12 is provided with an air inlet 13, and a one-way valve (i.e. a gas one-way valve) is arranged on the air inlet 13. The air inlet direction of the one-way valve is directed to the inside of the conical segment 12. By arranging the air inlet 13 and the one-way valve, the gas can be smoothly introduced into the tank. In this embodiment, the introduced gas is compressed air. After the compressed air enters the tank 10, it is mixed with the hot air inside the tank 10, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the air and the powdered spices in the tank 10.
[0033] In addition, during unloading, if the powdered spices form lumps and cause the spices in the conical segment to be blocked, compressed air can also be introduced to blow away the lumps, thereby achieving smooth unloading.
[0034] Specifically, the number of air inlets 13 is at least two, and they are uniformly arranged on the same cross section of the conical segment 12. Increasing the number of air inlets 13 improves the air inlet efficiency, and during unloading, the compressed air introduced through different air inlets 13 can collectively act to disperse the lumps.
[0035] More specifically, the air inlet 13 is arranged close to the discharge valve 23. Since the cross-sectional area of the conical section 12 is smaller close to the discharge valve 23, it is easier to cause caking or blockage during discharge, so that the air inlet 13 arranged close to the discharge valve 23 has better anti-blocking effect.
[0036] In one embodiment, the tank body 10 is fixedly installed on the support 20, and the support 20 is provided with a slot 22 on both sides of the tank body 10. Through the arrangement of the support 20, the fixation and installation of the tank body 10 can be facilitated. The slot 22 extends from one side of the support 20 to the other side, and the cross section is rectangular, similar to the cross-sectional shape of the fork of the forklift, so that the fork can be inserted, thereby the forklift can be used to realize the movement or short-distance transportation of the tank body 10.
[0037] In addition, through the design of the rectangular shape, the fork of the forklift can be prevented from shaking left and right in the slot 22, and the stability of the tank body 10 during movement is increased.
[0038] More specifically, in order to ensure the force balance during transportation of the tank body, the slots 22 on both sides of the tank body 10 are arranged in equal height, parallel and symmetrically relative to the tank body 10.
[0039] In the embodiment of the utility model, the support 20 is provided with a roller 21 at the bottom, through the arrangement of the roller 21, the worker can conveniently move the tank body in a small range. Moreover, when the tank body 10 is located in a small space, the forklift is difficult to drive to the position, the worker can push and pull the tank body 10 to the position of the forklift, thereby increasing the convenience of transportation.
[0040] In one embodiment, the top of the tank body 10 is also provided with an access hole 16. When the volume of the tank body 10 is large, the maintenance personnel can enter the inside of the tank body 10 through the access hole 16 to carry out maintenance or maintenance, and some maintenance tools can also enter the tank body 10 through the access hole 16.
[0041] In conclusion, the powder spice storage tank of the utility model can prevent dust, impurities and moisture from entering the tank, thereby protecting the powder spice in the storage tank from being polluted, maintaining the cleanliness and dryness of the air in the tank, and protecting the quality of the material and the service life of the equipment.
