Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of grain storage, specifically relating to an intelligent ventilated corn storage silo. Background Technology

[0002] Grain storage refers to the storage and management process of grain from harvest to consumption. During storage, grain undergoes a complex biochemical respiration process within its living cells, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and heat. At certain moisture levels and low ambient temperatures, grain respiration is weak, maintaining only minimal life activities, which is beneficial for storage. However, if grain respiration becomes excessive, it leads to significant loss of nutrients. The released heat and moisture cause the grain pile to heat up, increasing humidity and further promoting respiration. This also provides suitable conditions for microbial activity, resulting in grain mold and spoilage.

[0003] Patent application CN202020184701.6 discloses a rapid ventilation device for rice storage, comprising a rice storage tank with legs at the bottom and an air drying cylinder. The rice storage tank has an annular air chamber extending to the top on its wall. The inner wall of the rice storage tank has numerous first ventilation holes communicating with the air chamber. A vertically upward ventilation pipe is fixed to the inner cavity of the rice storage tank via a positioning tube. The side wall of the ventilation pipe has numerous second ventilation holes. The top of the rice storage tank has a lid with an air inlet pipe. The air drying cylinder is mounted on the lid and connected to the air inlet pipe. The rice storage tank wall has an air outlet pipe communicating with the air chamber. The air outlet pipe is connected to the air inlet of a fan via a guide pipe. A ventilation channel is provided inside the positioning tube, with one end of the ventilation channel communicating with the ventilation pipe and the other end communicating with the air chamber. This device has good ventilation performance and can ventilate from inside the rice. The ventilation system of the aforementioned grain storage facility is difficult to clean and maintain, which affects the loading and unloading of grain, causes considerable trouble for the entire storage facility, and has poor ventilation effect.
