[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: a moisture-proof and mildew-proof pig feed storage bin, including a bin body 1, a bin door 2 hinged to the left side surface of the bin body 1 via two hinges, a plurality of ventilation holes communicating with the inner cavity on the right side surface of the bin body 1, and a humidity sensor 5 installed on the rear inner wall of the bin body 1, and further including:

[0032] The dehumidification mechanism 7 is installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the chamber 1 to expel moisture from inside the chamber 1. The dehumidification mechanism 7 includes two rotating columns 71 that are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the chamber 1, a screw 72 coaxially fixed between the two rotating columns 71, a connecting block 73 threadedly connected to the screw 72, a vent box 74 fixed to the bottom surface of the connecting block 73 and arranged horizontally, several air inlet pipes 75 fixed to the bottom surface of the vent box 74 and connected to its inner cavity, an air outlet pipe 76 fixed to the rear surface of the vent box 74 and connected to its inner cavity, an air intake pipe 78 fixed to the rear surface of the chamber 1 and connected to its inner cavity, a solenoid valve 79 installed on the outer wall of the air intake pipe 78, two sliding plates 710 fixed to the top surface of the vent box 74 and slidably connected to the inner top surface of the chamber 1, and a rotating rod 71 coaxially fixed to the front surface of the front rotating column 71. 2. Two gears 713 located on the front side of the silo 1 and used to drive the rotating rod 712 to rotate; a motor 714 installed on the front surface of the silo 1 and used to drive the two gears 713 to rotate. The two gears 713 mesh with each other, and the suction pipe 78 is connected to the exhaust pipe 76 through the corrugated pipe 77. By setting up the silo 1 and the silo door 2, pig feed can be stored. The air collection pipe of the external suction fan is tightly connected to the suction pipe 78. By using the humidity sensor 5 in conjunction with the dehumidification mechanism 7, the humidity inside the silo 1 can be regulated. The design of the dehumidification mechanism 7 can smoothly drive the ventilation box 74 and several air inlet pipes 75 to make linear reciprocating motion in the front and back direction inside the silo 1, thereby quickly expelling the moisture inside the silo 1 and preventing the pig feed from becoming damp and moldy during storage.

[0033] In this embodiment, the dehumidification mechanism 7 also includes a rotating shaft 715 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 714, and two gears 713 are coaxially fixed on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 715 and the rotating rod 712, respectively, which can smoothly drive the two gears 713 to rotate, and thus smoothly drive the screw 72 to rotate.

[0034] In addition, two guide grooves are provided on the inner top surface of the compartment 1, and a guide block 711 is fixed on the top surface of the slide plate 710 and slidably connected to the guide groove on the same side of the inner top surface of the compartment 1. This can guide the movement of the two slide plates 710, and thus indirectly guide the movement of the ventilation box 74 and several air inlet pipes 75.

[0035] Furthermore, several air vents on the right side surface of the chamber 1 are arranged linearly at equal intervals, and each air vent on the right side surface of the chamber 1 is fitted with a filter 6 that is adapted to its size, which can prevent external dust and debris from entering the interior of the chamber 1 while allowing air to pass through.

[0036] Specifically, two symmetrical and interlocking inclined plates 3 are fixed on the top surface of the silo 1, and fixing plates 4 are fixed on the left and right sides of the two inclined plates 3 to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the top surface of the silo 1.

[0037] It is worth noting that the dehumidification mechanism 7 also includes a protective box 716 fixed to the front surface of the chamber 1. The motor 714 is located inside the protective box 716, and the rotating shaft 715 passes through the front surface of the protective box 716, which can protect the motor 714 and thus extend the service life of the motor 714.

[0038] It is worth noting that the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the guide groove on the inner top surface of the chamber 1 is I-shaped, and the shape of the guide block 711 is a convex shape that matches the shape of the guide groove on the inner top surface of the chamber 1. This can make the connection between the guide block 711 and the guide groove on the same side of the inner top surface of the chamber 1 more compact, thereby indirectly making the ventilation box 74 and several air inlet pipes 75 more stable during movement.

[0039] It is worth emphasizing that sealing rings are provided at the contact points between the air intake pipe 78 and the chamber 1 and the corrugated pipe 77, and sealing rings are provided at the contact points between the air outlet pipe 76 and the corrugated pipe 77 and the ventilation box 74. Sealing rings are also provided at the contact points between the ventilation box 74 and several ventilation boxes 74. This can improve the sealing performance of the entire dehumidification mechanism 7 and prevent air leakage.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the humidity sensor 5, solenoid valve 79, motor 714 and other components involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle in this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.

[0041] In this embodiment, during actual use, the air collection pipe of the external air intake machine is tightly connected to the air intake pipe 78. During use, the humidity sensor 5 transmits the humidity signal inside the chamber 1 to the external PLC. When the humidity is higher than the set value, the external PLC transmits the signal to the motor 714 and the solenoid valve 79 and starts the solenoid valve 79. The external PLC starts the motor 714 and controls the output shaft of the motor 714 to rotate alternately in the forward and reverse directions. At the same time, the external air intake machine is started. After the external air intake machine is started, the moisture inside the chamber 1 can be drawn into the ventilation box 74 through several air intake pipes 75. The moisture inside the ventilation box 74 is then passed into the bellows 77 through the air outlet pipe 76. The moisture inside the bellows 77 is then passed into the air collection pipe of the external air intake machine through the air intake pipe 78 and is discharged.

[0042] Simultaneously, the output shaft of motor 714 rotates, causing the rotating shaft 715, which is coaxially connected to it, to rotate. The rotation of rotating shaft 715 causes the gear 713, which is coaxially fixed to it on the same side, to rotate. The rotation of gear 713 causes another gear 713 meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the other gear 713 causes the rotating rod 712, which is coaxially fixed to it, to rotate. The rotation of rotating rod 712 causes the rotating column 71, which is coaxially fixed to it on the same side, to rotate. The rotation of rotating column 71 causes the screw 72, which is coaxially fixed to it, to rotate. The rotation of screw 72 causes the connecting block 73, which is threadedly connected to it, to move. The movement of connecting block 73 causes the screw 72, which is threadedly connected to it, to move. The movement of connecting block 73 causes the screw 72, which is threadedly connected to it, to move. The ventilation box 74 moves under the guidance of two slide plates 710, two guide blocks 711, and two guide grooves on the top surface of the chamber 1. Because the output shaft of the motor 714 rotates alternately in both directions, it indirectly drives the screw 72 to rotate alternately in both directions. The screw 72 rotates alternately in both directions, which in turn indirectly drives the ventilation box 74 to make linear reciprocating motion in the front and back direction inside the chamber 1. The movement of the ventilation box 74 drives several air outlet pipes 76 fixed to it to make linear reciprocating motion in the front and back direction inside the chamber 1, thereby removing moisture from the inside of the chamber 1.

[0043] When the humidity is higher or lower than a certain value, the external PLC transmits a signal to the motor 714 and the solenoid valve 79 and closes the solenoid valve 79 and the motor 714. At the same time, the external air intake is turned off, thus completing the humidity regulation work.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
