AI Technical Summary
Existing large pellet silos suffer from problems such as poor material flow at the bottom of the silo, formation of dead material zones, and instability.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to pelletizing silo equipment technical field, especially relates to a large -scale pelletizing silo's annular unloading gate. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pellet as the indispensable high-quality furnace burden of blast furnace ironmaking and short process steelmaking, pellet belongs to round ball particle, and the particle size is between 8-16mm, in the pellet production process, due to its small angle of repose, the ground storage occupies large area, and the pellet particles are easy to be damaged and pulverized during the transportation. In order to reduce the problems such as material transportation, increased operation cost, increased unorganized particle emission and large occupation caused by ground storage of pellet, large silo storage, loading and unloading pellet technology is developed and applied. At present, a single seat storage capacity of 100,000 tons of large pellet silo has been successfully applied in China, and the particle emission is realized from unorganized emission to organized emission management.
[0003] Since the diameter of the silo is large, in order to successfully discharge the pellets in the silo, the prior art sets multiple discharge points at the bottom of the silo, for example, a silo with a diameter of 56m is provided with at least 30 discharge points. Although there are many discharge points, the pellets accumulated between the bottom circle and the two discharge points cannot be automatically discharged, forming a perennially accumulated "dead material area", which greatly reduces the utilization rate of the silo. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the silo and prevent the occurrence of silo deviation, the horizontal and vertical center lines of the silo are taken as the symmetry axes, and the two discharge points at the corresponding positions are required to work synchronously, which puts high requirements on the reliability of the discharge equipment and the real-time performance of the material level detection in the silo.

The device takes advantage of the high compressive strength and good fluidity of the pellets to ensure smooth discharge of the silo bottom, avoid silo deviation and eliminate the "dead material area at the bottom of the silo".
