[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] An external salt storage device includes a base 1 and a sealing mechanism 2. Side plates 3 are connected to both ends of the base 1, and a salt storage tank 4 is fitted inside the side plates 3. Support plates 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the base 1. The sealing mechanism 2 is located at the top of the salt storage tank 4 and includes a rectangular groove 201, a sealing strip 202, and micro magnets 203. A salt storage compartment 204 is formed on the upper surface of the salt storage tank 4, and a rectangular groove 201 is formed at the top of the salt storage compartment 204. Multiple sets of micro magnets 203 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 201. The internal structure of the rectangular groove 201 is fitted with... The device is equipped with a fixing block 205. On the side of the fixing block 205 near the micro magnet 203, multiple sets of micro magnets 203 are correspondingly arranged. The corresponding micro magnets 203 attract each other. The rectangular groove 201, the sealing strip 202 and the micro magnets 203 directly cooperate with each other. The sealing strip 202 plays a basic sealing role. The micro magnets 203 installed on the inner wall of the device attract each other, so that the cover plate 6 and the salt storage box 4 fit tightly together. This effectively prevents external moisture and impurities from entering the salt storage box 204, ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the salt and improving the storage time.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a cover plate 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block 205 away from the rectangular groove 201, a limiting block 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the cover plate 6, a shaft 8 is installed inside the limiting block 7, and the cover plate 6 is movably arranged above the shaft 8. Through the cooperation of the shaft 8 and the limiting block 7, the cover plate 6 can rotate around the shaft 8, which facilitates the opening and closing of the salt storage chamber 204 and realizes the storage and retrieval operation of the salt.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, a grooved handle 9 is provided at the end of the cover plate 6 away from the limiting block 7, and hidden handles 10 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the salt storage box 4, so that the cover plate 6 can be opened and the salt storage box 4 can be moved easily by the grooved handle 9 and the hidden handle 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, an observation window 11 is installed on the side of the salt storage tank 4 near the groove handle 9, and a scale line 12 is provided above the observation window 11. The remaining amount of salt in the salt storage tank 4 can be seen intuitively through the observation window 11 and the scale line 12. The salt quantity can be understood without opening the device, thus avoiding the impact of frequent opening on the sealing performance of the device.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, a conical discharge port 13 is provided at the center of the bottom end of the salt storage tank 204, and a gate valve 14 is installed on one side of the bottom end of the conical discharge port 13. The conical discharge port 13 helps the salt to flow smoothly out of the salt storage tank 204. The guiding effect of the conical structure allows the salt to move towards the discharge port in a concentrated and smooth manner, reducing the possibility of salt residue and blockage in the tank. With the installation of the gate valve 14, the discharge of salt can be flexibly controlled.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the output end of the gate valve 14 is threadedly connected to a conveying pipe 15, and a sealing tape 16 is installed at the threaded connection. By connecting the output end of the gate valve 14 to the conveying pipe 15 and cooperating with the sealing tape 16, it is not only convenient to connect and disassemble, but also to prevent salt leakage during the conveying process.

[0027] In this embodiment, an external salt storage device works by directly engaging a rectangular groove 201, a sealing strip 202, and a micro magnet 203. The sealing strip 202 provides a basic seal, while the micro magnets 203, installed on the inner wall of the device, attract each other, causing the cover 6 to fit tightly against the salt storage box 4. This effectively prevents external moisture and impurities from entering the salt storage chamber 204, ensuring the salt remains dry and clean, and extending storage time. The salt storage box 4 is equipped with an observation window 11 and scale lines 12 for easy observation of the salt level. The groove handle 9 and the hidden handle 10 facilitate opening the cover 6 and moving the salt storage box 4. The gate valve 14 allows for flexible control of salt discharge, and the conveying pipe 15 is threaded and fitted with sealing tape 16, which not only facilitates connection and disassembly but also prevents salt leakage during transport.
