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.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 ;

[0025] A ceramic ball storage rack includes a storage container 1, which is transparent to allow observation of the ceramic balls inside. A first top cover 11 is bolted to the top of the storage container 1 to close the top of the storage container 1. The first top cover 11 can also be disassembled. A feeding hopper 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the first top cover 11 to facilitate the addition of ceramic balls into the storage container 1. A second top cover 13 is snapped onto the top of the feeding hopper 12 to close the feeding hopper 12. A discharge mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the storage container 1 to prevent the ceramic balls from being blocked during discharge.

[0026] The discharge mechanism 2 includes a first discharge component 22, a conical seat 23, and a second discharge component 24. The conical seat 23 is fixedly installed inside the bottom end of the storage container 1. The conical seat 23 facilitates the accumulation of ceramic balls at the edge of the bottom of the storage container 1, thus facilitating subsequent discharge. The first discharge component 22 is mounted on the conical seat 23, and the second discharge component 24 is mounted on the side wall of the bottom end of the storage container 1. The first discharge component 22 includes a support rod 222, a mounting cylinder 223, and a discharge port 28. The support rod 222 is rotatably mounted inside the conical seat 23 and is used to drive the first arc-shaped baffle 24. 25. The second arc-shaped baffle 227 and the stirring rod 221 rotate. The mounting cylinder 223 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support rod 222. The mounting cylinder 223 facilitates the support and installation of the first connecting plate 224, the second connecting plate 226, and the support frame 228. The discharge port 28 is opened on the bottom side wall of the storage container 1. The ceramic balls inside the storage container 1 can enter the discharge pipe 241 through the discharge port 28. The first connecting plate 224 and the second connecting plate 226 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting cylinder 223 respectively. The first connecting plate 224 is used to support and install the first arc-shaped baffle 225, driving the first arc-shaped baffle 226 to rotate. The first connecting plate 224 and the second connecting plate 226 move to support and install the second arc-shaped baffle 227, causing the second arc-shaped baffle 227 to move. The first connecting plate 224 and the second connecting plate 226 are also used to push the ceramic balls. The other end of the first connecting plate 224 is equipped with the first arc-shaped baffle 225, and the other end of the second connecting plate 226 is equipped with the second arc-shaped baffle 227. The rotation of the first arc-shaped baffle 225 can not only block the discharge port 28, but also push the ceramic balls to prevent the ceramic balls from accumulating and blocking the discharge port 28. The mounting cylinder 223... A support frame 228 is also fixedly installed on the side wall. The support frame 228 is used to support and install the stirring rod 221 and to stir the ceramic balls. A through hole 229 is opened in the inner wall of the support frame 228. The stirring rod 221 is installed on the top of the support frame 228. When the stirring rod 221 moves, it is used to stir the ceramic balls. A base 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the storage container 1. A reduction motor 25 is installed on the bottom of the base 21. The output end of the reduction motor 25 is connected to the lower end of the support rod 222. The reduction motor 25 is used to drive the support rod 222 to rotate. A switch for the reduction motor 25 is also provided on the base 21.

[0027] Furthermore, the second discharge assembly 24 includes a discharge pipe 241, a hose 242, and a straight baffle 243. The discharge pipe 241 is installed at the discharge port 28 and is used to discharge ceramic balls. The discharge pipe 241 is a transparent pipe, which makes it easy to observe the internal situation. The hose 242 is connected to the other end of the discharge pipe 241. The hose 242 is a wear-resistant hose and is used to discharge ceramic balls. By adjusting the outlet direction of the hose 242, the discharge position of the ceramic balls can be controlled. The straight baffle 243 is inserted from the top of the discharge pipe 241 and is used to block the inside of the discharge pipe 241. The bottom of the base 21 is equipped with a support leg 26 and a caster wheel 27 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 26. The caster wheel 27 facilitates the movement of the storage container 1.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The ceramic balls to be stored are poured into the storage container 1 through the feeding hopper 12. After feeding is completed, the second top cover 13 is re-clamped to close the feeding hopper 12. The conical seat 23 fixed at the bottom of the storage container 1 can guide the ceramic balls at the bottom of the container to gather towards the edge, preparing for subsequent discharge. The support leg 26 installed at the bottom of the base 21 supports the entire storage rack. The universal wheel 27 installed at the bottom of the support leg 26 facilitates the adjustment of the position of the storage container 1 and flexibly changes the storage location. When it is necessary to discharge the ceramic balls, first adjust the outlet direction of the hose 242 to ensure that the ceramic balls can be accurately discharged to the designated area; then pull out the straight baffle 243 inserted from the top of the discharge pipe 241 to remove the obstruction to the inside of the discharge pipe 241, so that the discharge channel is unobstructed. Start the reduction motor 25, which drives the support rod 222 to rotate. When the support rod 222 rotates, it drives the first connecting plate 224, the second connecting plate 226 and the support frame 228 to rotate. The first connecting plate 224 and the second connecting plate 226 respectively drive the first arc-shaped baffle 225 and the second arc-shaped baffle 227 to rotate. On the one hand, the rotating first arc-shaped baffle 225 and the second arc-shaped baffle 227 can push the ceramic balls inside the storage container 1 to move towards the discharge port 28. On the other hand, it can prevent the ceramic balls from accumulating and blocking at the discharge port 28. The support frame 228 can drive the stirring rod 221 to rotate and stir the ceramic balls inside the storage container 1, further improving the anti-blocking effect. Under the pushing action of the first arc-shaped baffle 225 and the second arc-shaped baffle 227 and the stirring action of the stirring rod 221, the ceramic balls inside the storage container 1 enter the discharge pipe 241 installed at the position through the discharge port 28, and then are discharged through the hose 242 connected to the other end of the discharge pipe 241, and finally discharged to the pre-adjusted designated position to complete the discharge operation of the ceramic balls. If it is necessary to pause the discharge, the reduction motor 25 can be turned off and the straight baffle 243 can be reinserted to block the inside of the discharge pipe 241.

[0029] In summary, by setting up an auxiliary discharge mechanism inside the ceramic ball storage rack to agitate the ceramic balls inside the storage container, not only is the clumping of ceramic balls avoided, but the anti-clogging effect is further improved, effectively ensuring the uniformity and continuity of discharge. At the same time, it can accurately discharge ceramic balls to designated areas, meeting diverse discharge needs and improving the accuracy and controllability of discharge.
