[0002] The polyester industry has encountered new market demands during the process of industrial upgrading and structural adjustment. The polyester industry has also entered a critical period of supply and demand rebalancing, optimization and adjustment of existing capacity, and moderate development of high-quality incremental growth.

[0003] In particular, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for differentiated and customized polyester products (such as ultra-bright polyester chips, cationic polyester chips, flame-retardant polyester chips, antibacterial polyester chips, etc.) and some copolyester modified products (such as thermoplastic elastomer TPEE and high-transparency and high-toughness PETG) is also gradually increasing. The polyester industry is showing a trend of coexistence between large polyester plants (400,000 tons / set, 600,000 tons / set) and differentiated small polyester plants (10,000 tons / set, 20,000 tons / set).

[0004] Besides advantages such as low investment and maintenance costs and small footprint, small polyester plants are also highly adaptable, flexible, and offer minimal losses and quick product conversion. They are particularly popular with companies that require product technology development or produce a wide variety of small-batch customized products.

[0005] For enterprises producing small batches of diverse products, setting up a separate silo for each product after pelleting would be disadvantageous in terms of both floor space and equipment investment. Therefore, designing a new type of silo that meets the needs of such owners is essential. Utility Model Content

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0028] Examples of embodiments of this utility model Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a multi-purpose polyester chip irregular-shaped silo to solve the problem that small polyester plants use a variety of raw materials, which leads to silos that store raw materials separately occupying more space and increasing equipment costs.

[0029] This utility model includes: a circular can 1;

[0030] A partition 2 is provided inside the circular tank 1, and divides the circular tank 1 into at least two independent chambers.

[0031] At least two conical hoppers 3 are respectively located below the chamber and are connected to each chamber. The partition 2 divides the circular tank 1 into two equal chambers, which is the most basic structure. It can also be divided into three or four chambers, or even more.

[0032] This invention utilizes a partition 2 to divide the circular tank 1 into at least two chambers, which can hold different polyester materials respectively. The cone hopper 3 at the bottom of the chamber facilitates the collection of internal materials for easy discharge.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the partition 2 includes at least two side partitions 22 and a middle partition 21. One side of the side partition 22 is connected to the chamber. The middle partition 21 is located between the at least two side partitions 22. A number of reinforcing rods 23 are also provided between the middle partition 21 and the side partitions 22. The reinforcing rods 23 are generally made of angle steel or shaped steel, or other thin plate bending parts.

[0034] The bottom end of the partition plate 21 is also provided with at least two sealing plates 24 that are respectively connected to the cone 3. The sealing plates 24 are also provided with sealing plate reinforcing ribs 25. The sealing plate reinforcing ribs 25 abut against the outer side of the sealing plates 24, which plays the role of strengthening the sealing plate structure and positioning the partition plate 21 through the sealing plates 24. Finally, the structural strength of the partition plate 2 is increased by the partition plate 21, the side partition plate 22 and the reinforcing rod 23, so as to avoid the partition plate 2 from deforming when subjected to force on one side.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, a reinforcing ring 4 is also provided on the outer circumferential surface of the circular tank 1. Several reinforcing ribs are evenly distributed between the reinforcing ring 4 and the circular tank 1. The reinforcing ring 4 is connected to both sides of the partition plate 21. The reinforcing ring 4 increases the structural strength of the circular tank 1 and the connection strength with the partition plate 21, which can prevent the circular tank 1 from deforming and the partition plate 21 from detaching.

[0036] In addition, the circular tank 1 is provided with an angle steel ring and an angle steel ring reinforcing rib plate 13. The top surface of the angle steel ring abuts against the top cover of the circular tank 1, and the inner side of the angle steel ring abuts against the outer circumference of the circular tank 1, which plays a role in structural reinforcement. The angle steel ring reinforcing rib plate is evenly distributed on the outer side of the angle steel ring, which plays a role in strengthening the structure of the angle steel ring.

[0037] Based on the above technical solution, each chamber and the corresponding cone hopper 3 form an independent storage space. Each storage space is equipped with a slice inlet 5, a slice outlet 6, an exhaust port 7, a cleaning port 8, a high level gauge interface 9, a low level gauge interface 10, a manhole 11, and several spare ports (openings not marked in the figure). Each space storing polyester material has independent inlets and outlets, exhaust ports 7, and measuring ports to ensure the independence of each storage space.

[0038] Based on the above technical solution, the top surface of the circular tank 1 is also provided with grid-shaped reinforcing ribs 12. In this embodiment, a five-horizontal and four-vertical layout structure is adopted. The grid-shaped reinforcing ribs 12 are used to enhance the structural strength of the top plane of the circular tank 1 and avoid denting and deformation.

[0039] This invention can divide a tank into at least two chambers, each with its own independent inlet and outlet. This not only reduces equipment costs but also saves space in two ways: firstly, it saves the floor space required for storage tanks containing different polyester materials, and secondly, it saves the floor space required for related piping and wiring. Since the two chambers are located within the same circular tank 1, the piping connecting the two chambers can be arranged more compactly, further saving floor space.

[0040] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.
