Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain storage equipment technology, and in particular to a backyard corn storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, large-scale farmers typically store harvested corn to increase their income, waiting for prices to rise before selling it. Due to limited drying space, they generally use storage devices to store corn in their yards. The storage devices currently available on the market can be divided into two main categories.

[0003] One method involves using corn silos: each silo can exist independently or be connected in a row. The iron pipes are connected by pins, making them sturdy and easy to disassemble. The enclosure can be made of plastic or wire mesh, with ventilation pipes spaced 2-3 meters apart to ensure proper ventilation. This structure generally prevents corn from molding or losing heat; however, it is expensive and the threshing process is complex and tedious, resulting in a significant waste of manpower and resources.

[0004] Another type is the round corn storage bin: with a diameter between 1.8m and 2m and a height between 2m and 2.5m. The bottom is separated from the ground by 20-30cm with a base, which serves to prevent water, moisture, insects, and rodents, and also facilitates transportation. Some cylindrical bins are simply surrounded by wire mesh, while others are secured with four bamboo poles before being surrounded by mesh. Ventilation pipes are inserted in the middle to ensure internal ventilation. The top is covered with a shielding material, which is not limited to any material, as long as it prevents water from entering during extreme weather. It can be left uncovered in sunny weather. This method is relatively inexpensive and the threshing operation is simple, but because of its high overall airtightness, the permeability is extremely poor, which can easily lead to corn mold. The top shielding material can also affect the natural dehydration efficiency of the corn.

[0005] Based on the two commonly used corn storage methods mentioned above, it is not difficult to see that ensuring that corn does not easily become moldy and thus deteriorate in quality often requires a higher investment of manpower and resources, which contradicts the original intention of increasing income through grain storage. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a backyard corn storage device to improve the quality assurance period of corn, save manpower and material resources in the subsequent threshing and selling process, and reduce the investment cost of the device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0008] A backyard corn storage device is provided, comprising:

[0009] The base has a downward-opening grain outlet door;

[0010] The outer mesh is positioned above the base;

[0011] A ventilation duct is installed above the base and inside the outer mesh, forming a grain storage space between the ventilation duct and the outer mesh.

[0012] A top shield is located above the outer mesh, and the top shield is equipped with a heat dissipation device.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is a fence-type base.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the grain outlet door is hinged to the base, while the other end can be opened.

[0015] Furthermore, the other end of the grain outlet is connected to the base via a pin.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer perimeter mesh is in the form of columns.

[0017] Furthermore, the ventilation duct includes a steel reinforcement support frame and a barrier net covering the periphery of the steel reinforcement support frame.

[0018] Furthermore, the heat dissipation device is a non-powered ventilation fan, which is located below the top shield.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. The corn storage device for the courtyard of this utility model is similar to a circular corn silo structure. Corn can be directly stored through the outer net without the need for the construction of an outer iron pipe or other frame structure. Compared with the conventional corn silo, this storage device has a simple structure and low cost.

[0021] 2. The backyard corn storage device of this utility model is equipped with a ventilation duct, which can increase the air circulation inside and outside the storage device and avoid the problem of mold growth caused by excessive internal heat in conventional round corn bins.

[0022] 3. The corn storage device for courtyards in this utility model example has an openable grain outlet door on the base, which can realize the rapid discharge of grain from the storage. Alternatively, a bag clamping machine can be used to pour the entire corn storage into the threshing machine for threshing, reducing the burden on personnel and saving time costs.

[0029] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a corn storage device for a courtyard, including a base 1 and an outer mesh 3 located above the base 1. The outer mesh 3 has a structure similar to a circular corn silo and is in the form of a column. Corn can be directly stored through the outer mesh 3 without the need to build an outer frame structure such as iron pipes. Compared with the conventional corn silo, this storage device has a simple structure and low cost.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is a fence-type base, which prevents the corn from contacting the ground, increases the ventilation area, and prevents mold growth caused by excessive humidity. Additionally, the base 1 is equipped with a downward-opening grain outlet door 2. In this embodiment, one end of the grain outlet door 2 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end is connected to the base 1 via a pin, facilitating unloading the grain from the bottom and allowing for quick unloading. Alternatively, a baling machine can be used to pour the entire corn silo into a threshing machine for threshing. This base 1 structure facilitates unloading, reduces personnel workload, and saves time.

[0033] The outer mesh 3 can be made of conventional wire mesh, which is convenient for assembly, disassembly and subsequent storage.

[0034] To facilitate the baling machine's transfer of the entire corn husk into the corn thresher, the overall structural rigidity of the grain storage device has been increased. Specifically, a ventilation duct is provided above the base 1 and inside the outer mesh 3, forming a grain storage space between the ventilation duct and the outer mesh 3. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3As shown, the ventilation duct includes a steel reinforcement support frame 4 and a barrier net 5 covering the perimeter of the steel reinforcement support frame 4. The steel reinforcement support frame 4 increases the rigidity of the overall structure, and the barrier net 5, which can be made of plastic mesh, is wrapped around the perimeter of the steel reinforcement support frame 4 to prevent corn cobs from falling into the interior. This ventilation duct not only improves the overall structural rigidity of the grain storage device but also avoids the problem of excessive internal heat leading to mold growth, as is common in conventional corn storage bins.

[0035] The outer perimeter net 3 is also covered with a top shield 6 to prevent the corn cobs from rotting and spoiling due to wind and snow. Additionally, as... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a heat dissipation device is also provided below the top shield 6. Specifically, the heat dissipation device is a non-powered ventilation fan 7, which is located below the top shield 6. By adding the non-powered ventilation fan 7, zero-energy-consumption ventilation is achieved, avoiding the problem of heat accumulation due to excessive humidity and greatly reducing the occurrence of mold.

[0036] The backyard corn storage device exemplified in this embodiment improves the efficiency of corn removal from storage, while also providing good ventilation and reducing the risk of mold growth in the center. In addition, the storage device has a simple structure, which reduces the investment cost of the device.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-mentioned features with technical features disclosed in this application (but not limited to) that have similar functions.
