Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moisture-proof storage tank technology, specifically a moisture-proof storage tank for feed. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is prone to moisture and mold during storage, which not only leads to the loss of nutrients but may also produce toxic substances, seriously affecting the health of livestock and poultry. Currently, common feed storage methods generally have the problem of unsatisfactory moisture-proof effects: traditional storage tanks mostly adopt static moisture-proof designs, such as a single ventilation system or a desiccant box in a fixed position, which are difficult to effectively deal with the problem of internal moisture accumulation when feed is piled up.

[0003] Traditional storage tanks typically use simple ventilation or fixed-position desiccants for moisture prevention. However, due to the high density of feed, internal moisture is difficult to diffuse and dissipate evenly, easily creating localized high-humidity environments that can lead to feed mold. Furthermore, since desiccants are usually fixed in one location, they cannot effectively cover the entire tank space. Relying solely on desiccants for moisture prevention cannot guarantee uniformity of moisture control. Moreover, desiccants reach saturation after absorbing a certain amount of moisture. If they are not replaced in time, they not only lose their moisture-proof function but may also become a source of secondary contamination. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture-proof feed storage tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moisture-proof feed storage tank, comprising a storage tank with ventilation windows on both sides, and two sets of symmetrically distributed side pipes on both sides of the storage tank, each set of side pipes corresponding to one of the two sets of ventilation windows. An installation plate is provided inside the storage tank, with a sealing pressure ring above the installation plate. An installation box is rotatably installed below the installation plate, and the installation box is rotatably connected to the installation plate via a rotating rod. A second gear is sleeved on the rotating rod. A second rack is slidably installed inside the installation plate, meshing with the second gear. A connecting rod is rotatably installed on the second rack. A crank is rotatably installed inside the installation plate, and the crank is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the second rack via a rotating shaft. Three sets of annularly distributed adjusting frames are provided inside the installation box, each set of adjusting frames having a fixedly installed installation pipe. A connecting pipe is fixedly installed above each installation pipe, passing through the installation box and the installation plate. Four sets of symmetrically distributed air outlets are provided on the installation pipe.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a slide rod is fixedly installed inside the mounting plate, the second rack is slidably sleeved with the slide rod, and two sets of symmetrically distributed springs are sleeved on the slide rod, with the two ends of the two sets of springs respectively fixedly connected to the second rack and the mounting plate.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the mounting box is provided with three sets of circularly distributed guide rails, the adjustment frame is correspondingly arranged with the guide rails, and the adjustment frame is slidably connected with the corresponding guide rail.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, an adjusting plate is rotatably installed inside the mounting box. The adjusting plate has three sets of annularly distributed adjusting grooves, which are correspondingly arranged with adjusting frames. Adjusting rods are fixedly installed on each of the three adjusting frames. The adjusting rods are slidably connected to the adjusting plate through the adjusting grooves. A first rack is slidably installed inside the mounting box, and a cylinder is fixedly installed inside the mounting box.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a second toothed ring is sleeved on the adjusting disc, the first rack is meshed with the second toothed ring, and the first rack is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder piston rod.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the sealing ring is fixedly installed to the storage tank via a mechanical connector. The mounting plate has two sets of symmetrically distributed slots, and the sealing ring has two sets of symmetrically distributed inserts. The inserts are correspondingly arranged with the slots, and the inserts are movably engaged with the mounting plate via the slots.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both ends of the side tube are rotatably mounted with mounting rings, and both ends of the side tube are provided with multiple sets of annularly distributed opening and closing plates. The multiple sets of opening and closing plates are rotatably connected to the side tube through mounting shafts. The multiple sets of mounting shafts are annularly distributed around the mounting rings, and a first gear is sleeved on each of the multiple sets of mounting shafts. A first toothed ring is sleeved on the mounting rings, and the multiple sets of first gears are meshed with the first toothed rings.

[0012] This utility model provides a moisture-proof feed storage tank, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) This utility model achieves dynamic moisture protection through the synergistic effect of air blowing through the installation pipe and moisture absorption through the side pipe. The installation pipe can directionally deliver dry gas into the feed pile. Its outlet design, combined with the radially adjustable installation pipe spacing, can adapt to feeds with different stacking densities, ensuring uniform coverage of the dry airflow. The desiccant in the side pipe continuously absorbs the moisture diffused to the tank wall through the ventilation window, forming a two-way moisture protection system from the inside out. This combination of active air supply and passive moisture absorption effectively solves the problem of incomplete moisture protection by traditional fixed desiccants.

[0014] (2) This utility model improves the continuous moisture protection through a modular and replaceable desiccant design. The two ends of the side tube are equipped with a synchronous rotating opening and closing plate mechanism, which can achieve rapid opening and closing through gear and ring linkage, facilitating the periodic replacement of the desiccant. Combined with the forced dehumidification function when the installation pipe blows air, it can avoid secondary pollution caused by saturated desiccant. This design breaks through the technical bottleneck of inconvenient desiccant replacement in traditional storage tanks and significantly extends the effective working cycle of the moisture protection system.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-8As shown, in this embodiment, a moisture-proof feed storage tank includes a storage tank 1. Ventilation windows 2 are provided on both sides of the storage tank 1. Two sets of symmetrically distributed side pipes 3 are provided on both sides of the storage tank 1, corresponding to the two sets of ventilation windows 2. An installation plate 9 is provided inside the storage tank 1. A sealing pressure ring 10 is provided above the installation plate 9. An installation box 13 is rotatably installed below the installation plate 9. The installation box 13 is rotatably connected to the installation plate 9 via a rotating rod 14. A second gear 15 is sleeved on the rotating rod 14. A second rack 16 is slidably installed inside the installation plate 9, meshing with the second gear 15. A connecting rod 19 is rotatably installed on the second rack 16. A crank 20 is rotatably installed inside the installation plate 9, and the crank 20 is connected to the connecting rod 19 away from the second rack via a rotating shaft. One end of 16 is rotatably connected. The mounting box 13 contains three sets of annularly distributed adjusting brackets 22. Each of the three adjusting brackets 22 has a mounting tube 23 fixedly installed on it. A connecting tube 24 is fixedly installed above the mounting tube 23, passing through the mounting box 13 and the mounting plate 9. The mounting tube 23 has four symmetrically distributed air outlets 25. A sliding rod 17 is fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 9. The second rack 16 is slidably sleeved with the sliding rod 17. Two sets of symmetrically distributed springs 18 are sleeved on the sliding rod 17. The two ends of the two sets of springs 18 are fixedly connected to the second rack 16 and the mounting plate 9, respectively. The mounting box 13 contains three sets of annularly distributed guide rails 21. The adjusting brackets 22 are correspondingly arranged with the guide rails 21, and the adjusting brackets 22 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rails 21. The mounting box 1... An adjusting plate 26 is rotatably installed inside the mounting box 13. The adjusting plate 26 has three sets of annularly distributed adjusting grooves 27, which correspond to the adjusting frame 22. Adjusting rods 28 are fixedly installed on each of the three adjusting frames 22. The adjusting rods 28 are slidably connected to the adjusting plate 26 through the adjusting grooves 27. A first rack 30 is slidably installed inside the mounting box 13. A cylinder 31 is fixedly installed inside the mounting box 13. A second toothed ring 29 is sleeved on the adjusting plate 26. The first rack 30 meshes with the second toothed ring 29. The first rack 30 is fixedly connected to the output end of the piston rod of the cylinder 31. Three sets of mounting pipes 23 inside the mounting box 13 are connected to a dry gas source via connecting pipes 24. High-pressure gas is ejected from the circumferentially distributed outlets 25 of the mounting pipes 23, forming a three-dimensional airflow network. During the air-drying process, the second gear 15 on the rotating rod 14 meshes with the second rack 16. Driven by the crank 20-connecting rod 19 mechanism, the mounting box 13 is rotated back and forth about 2-3 times per minute, so that the drying airflow covers different depth areas of the tank. At the same time, the cylinder 31 pushes the first rack 30 to drive the second gear ring 29 of the adjusting plate 26 to rotate. Through the linkage of the adjusting groove 27 and the adjusting rod 28, the three sets of adjusting frames 22 move radially synchronously along the guide rail 21, realizing the intelligent adjustment of the spacing of the mounting tubes 23 to adapt to feeds with different bulk densities. The desiccant in the side tube 3 adsorbs the moisture in the tank through the ventilation window 2. The top opening plate 6 of the side tube 3 can be opened periodically to form forced convection by the airflow impact of the mounting tube 23, and the saturated moisture is discharged from the side tube 3.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing ring 10 is fixedly installed to the storage tank 1 via a mechanical connector. The mounting plate 9 has two sets of symmetrically distributed slots 11, and the sealing ring 10 has two sets of symmetrically distributed inserts 12. The inserts 12 correspond to the slots 11 and are movably engaged with the mounting plate 9 via the slots 11. Mounting rings 4 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the side tube 3. Multiple sets of annularly distributed opening and closing plates 6 are provided on both ends of the side tube 3. These opening and closing plates 6 are rotatably connected to the side tube 3 via mounting shafts 7. These mounting shafts 7 are annularly distributed around the mounting rings 4, and each mounting shaft 7 is fitted with a first gear 8. A first toothed ring 5 is fitted on the mounting ring 4, and the first gears 8 mesh with the first toothed ring 5. The side tube 3 adopts a double-end rotating opening and closing design to achieve non-destructive replacement of the desiccant. During operation, the motor in the side tube 3 starts and drives the mounting shaft 7 to rotate. In conjunction with the first gear 8 and the first gear ring 5, multiple sets of mounting shafts 7 drive multiple sets of opening and closing plates 6 to rotate outward synchronously. After the multiple sets of opening and closing plates 6 are opened, the old desiccant in the side tube 3 can be discharged from the bottom of the side tube 3. After the old desiccant is discharged, new desiccant is filled from the top of the side tube 3. After replacement, closing the opening and closing plates 6 restores the sealing state. This design, combined with the active dehumidification cycle of the mounting tube 23, can complete the desiccant replacement without interrupting the storage operation. Moreover, the mechanical linkage structure ensures the synchronicity of opening and closing on both sides, avoiding the problem of moisture-proof failure due to one side not being sealed.

[0027] This utility model provides a moisture-proof feed storage tank. The specific working principle is as follows: Three sets of mounting pipes 23 inside the mounting box 13 are connected to a drying gas source via connecting pipes 24. High-pressure gas is ejected from the circumferentially distributed air outlets 25 of the mounting pipes 23, forming a three-dimensional airflow network. During the air jetting process, the second gear 15 on the rotating rod 14 meshes with the second rack 16. Driven by the crank 20-connecting rod 19 mechanism, the mounting box 13 rotates reciprocally approximately 2-3 times per minute, allowing the drying airflow to cover different depth areas of the tank. Simultaneously, the cylinder 31 pushes the first rack 30 to drive the second gear ring 29 of the adjusting disc 26 to rotate. Through the linkage of the adjusting groove 27 and the adjusting rod 28, the three sets of adjusting frames 22 move synchronously radially along the guide rail 21, achieving intelligent adjustment of the spacing between the mounting pipes 23 to adapt to feeds with different bulk densities. The desiccant in the side pipe 3 is released through the ventilation window. 2. To absorb moisture inside the tank, the top opening plate 6 of the side pipe 3 can be opened periodically. The airflow impact of the installation pipe 23 forms forced convection, expelling saturated moisture from the side pipe 3. The side pipe 3 adopts a double-end rotating opening and closing design to achieve non-destructive replacement of the desiccant. During operation, the motor in the side pipe 3 starts and drives the installation shaft 7 to rotate. In conjunction with the first gear 8 and the first gear ring 5, multiple sets of installation shafts 7 drive multiple sets of opening and closing plates 6 to rotate outward synchronously. After the multiple sets of opening and closing plates 6 are opened, the old desiccant in the side pipe 3 can be discharged from the bottom of the side pipe 3. After the old desiccant is discharged, new desiccant is filled from the top of the side pipe 3. After replacement, closing the opening and closing plate 6 restores the sealing state. This design, combined with the active dehumidification cycle of the installation pipe 23, can complete the desiccant replacement without interrupting the storage operation. Moreover, the mechanical linkage structure ensures the synchronicity of opening and closing on both sides, avoiding the problem of moisture-proof failure due to one side not being sealed.
