[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an activated carbon storage silo structure, comprising: a storage box, a feeding hopper at the top of the storage box, a sealing cover at the top of the feeding hopper, a discharge pipe connected to the bottom of the storage box, a valve at the bottom of the discharge pipe, and a screen inside the storage box.
[0006] The storage box has a rotating rod installed inside. The top of the rotating rod is connected to a rotating motor. The bottom of the rotating rod rotates through the screen and is equipped with an auger. Several stirring rods are connected to the top side wall of the rotating rod. Two pushing brushes are installed on the side wall of the rotating rod near the screen. Guide blocks are provided on one side wall of each of the two pushing brushes.

[0008] Preferably, a lid is fixedly installed on the top of the storage box, the feed hopper is funnel-shaped and fixedly installed on the lid, and the bottom end of the feed hopper is inserted through into the storage box.
[0009] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the sealing cover near the bottom of the feed hopper, and four bolts are evenly arranged at the top edge of the sealing cover, and the sealing cover is fixedly installed on the top of the feed hopper by the four bolts.
[0010] Preferably, each of the stirring rods is evenly divided into two groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating rod, and one end of each stirring rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating rod.
[0011] Preferably, the rotating motor is fixedly installed at the top center of the box cover, and the top of the rotating rod rotates through the box cover and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor.
[0012] Preferably, the top end of the auger is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod, the bottom end of the auger is inserted into the discharge pipe, and the inner wall of the storage box near the discharge pipe is provided with a guiding slope.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention utilizes a stirring rod installed on the side wall of a rotating rod. When the rotating motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, it can break up clumps of powdered activated carbon at the top of the screen. A pushing brush on the screen surface, as it rotates with the rotating rod, easily sweeps off the powdered activated carbon from the screen surface. The broken powdered activated carbon then falls to the bottom of the storage bin after passing through the screen. An auger installed at the bottom of the rotating rod, as it rotates with the rotating rod, can transport the powdered activated carbon between the bottom of the screen and the discharge pipe, making it less likely for the powdered activated carbon to clog the discharge pipe and facilitating normal discharge of the powdered activated carbon.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an activated carbon silo structure, comprising: a storage box 1, a feeding hopper 13 at the top of the storage box 1, a sealing cover 15 at the top of the feeding hopper 13, a discharge pipe 2 connected to the bottom of the storage box 1, a valve 3 at the bottom of the discharge pipe 2, and a screen 9 inside the storage box 1; four support columns 8 evenly distributed on the bottom side wall of the storage box 1, the tops of the four support columns 8 being fixedly installed on the storage box 1. A box cover 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage box 1, the feeding hopper 13 is funnel-shaped and fixedly installed on the box cover 7, the bottom of the feeding hopper 13 penetrating into the storage box 1, and the box cover 7 being detachably installed at the top of the storage box 1 by means of flange connection or other means. A sealing gasket 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sealing cover 15 near the feed hopper 13. Four bolts 17 are evenly arranged on the top edge of the sealing cover 15. The sealing cover 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed hopper 13 by the four bolts 17. The sealing gasket 16 can improve the sealing performance at the connection between the sealing cover 15 and the feed hopper 13.
[0024] Inside the storage tank 1, a rotating rod 4 is rotatably mounted. A rotating motor 6 is connected to the top of the rotating rod 4, and the bottom of the rotating rod 4 rotatably passes through a screen 9 and is fitted with an auger 10. Several stirring rods 5 are connected to the top side wall of the rotating rod 4. Two pushing brushes 11 are installed on the side wall of the rotating rod 4 near the screen 9. Guide blocks 12 are provided on one end of each pushing brush 11. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor 6, the rotating shaft of the auger 10, and the central axis of the screen 9 all coincide with the central axis of the rotating rod 4. Each stirring rod 5 is evenly divided into two groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating rod 4. One end of each stirring rod 5 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the rotating rod 4. The rotating motor 6 is fixedly mounted at the top center of the tank cover 7. The top of the rotating rod 4 rotatably passes through the tank cover 7 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 6, facilitating the rotation of the rotating rod 4 within the processing tank 1 by the rotating motor 6. The top end of the auger 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 4. The bottom end of the auger 10 is inserted into the discharge pipe 2. A guide slope 14 is provided on the inner wall of the storage box 1 near the discharge pipe 2, which facilitates the powdered activated carbon at the bottom of the screen 9 to fall along the guide slope 14 into the discharge pipe 2. The cross-section of the two guide blocks 12 is triangular. One end of each guide block 12 is fixedly installed on an adjacent push brush 11. The push brush 11 rotates counterclockwise with the rotating rod 4 in the direction where the guide block 12 is installed, so that the powdered activated carbon is dispersed along the inclined surface of the guide block 12, which helps to reduce the resistance when the push brush 11 rotates. The side wall of the screen 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the storage box 1. The bottom ends of the two push brushes 11 are tightly attached to the surface of the screen 9. The ends of the two push brushes 11 that are close to each other are fixedly installed on the rotating rod 4. The bottom of the bristles of the two push brushes 11 are inserted into the holes of the screen 9, which facilitates the sweeping of the powdered activated carbon on the surface of the screen 9.
[0025] During operation, the sealing cover 15 can be easily disassembled and reassembled using bolts 17. This allows for easy opening of the sealing cover 15 to pour powdered activated carbon into the processing box 1 for storage. After pouring, the sealing cover 15 is then secured with bolts 17. When the powdered activated carbon needs to be discharged through the discharge pipe 2 for use, valve 3 is opened and the rotating motor 6 is started. The rotating motor 6 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate inside the processing box. The stirring rod 5, installed on the side wall of the rotating rod 4, stirs the agglomerated powder activated carbon at the top of the screen 9 as the stirring rod 5 rotates with the rotating rod 4. The activated carbon is broken down and passed through a push brush 11 on the surface of the screen 9. When the push brush 11 rotates with the rotating rod 4, the bristles of the push brush 11 sweep the powdered activated carbon off the surface of the screen 9. The broken powdered activated carbon falls to the bottom of the storage box 1 after passing through the screen 9. The auger 10 installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 4 can transport the powdered activated carbon between the bottom of the screen 9 and the discharge pipe 2 when the auger 10 rotates with the rotating rod 4. This makes it less likely for the powdered activated carbon to clog the discharge pipe 2 and facilitates the normal discharge of the powdered activated carbon.
