Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of construction equipment technology, specifically relating to a material storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern construction, efficient storage of raw materials is crucial for ensuring project progress and reducing costs. Currently, construction sites commonly use trucks to directly unload raw materials into designated areas. Due to limitations in truck mobility, unloading operations are usually concentrated in the same area of the storage silo, forcing multiple piles of raw materials to be stacked close together to improve space utilization.
[0003] However, this traditional stacking method has significant drawbacks. Due to the limitations of truck bed height and unloading angle, raw materials cannot effectively fill the upper space of the silo, resulting in the upper area of the silo remaining idle for a long time and severely underutilizing the space.
[0004] Although some companies have attempted to improve silo space utilization by introducing excavators for secondary handling and repositioning of raw materials, this method has revealed numerous problems in practical applications. Excavator operation is cumbersome, requiring specialized personnel for complex operation and scheduling; especially in large silo scenarios, the handling efficiency of excavators is extremely low, making it difficult to achieve large-scale, efficient material transfer, and the final improvement in space utilization is limited, with the overall silo storage efficiency still failing to meet engineering requirements. Utility Model Content

[0026] In some implementations, the feeding component further includes a lifting cylinder, the drive end of which is connected to the fixed frame, and the lifting cylinder is used to drive the conveyor belt and the feeding plate to move up and down synchronously.
[0027] In some implementations, the material distribution component is inclined toward the storage bin.
[0028] In some implementations, the sliding component includes a slider and a driving member, the driving member being drivenly connected to the slider, and the slider being movably connected to the guide rail.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.
[0043] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] Please see the appendix Figure 1-2 The material storage equipment of this application includes a material storage mechanism 1, a material unloading mechanism 2, a material feeding mechanism 3, and a material distribution mechanism 4.
[0046] The storage mechanism 1 includes a plurality of material limiting components 11 arranged in a row, and a storage bin 12 is formed in the area between adjacent material limiting components 11.
[0047] The unloading mechanism 2 includes an unloading bin 21 and a material passage component 22. The unloading bin 21 and the storage bin 12 are arranged on the same plane. The material passage component 22 is connected to the unloading bin 21 and is located at the lower end of the unloading bin 21.
[0048] The feeding mechanism 3 is located at the lower end of the unloading mechanism 2 and the upper end of the limiting member 11. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to transport raw materials from the unloading mechanism 2 to the upper end of the corresponding storage bin 12. Preferably, there can be 1-4 feeding mechanisms 3, which can unload materials at different positions on the storage bin 12, realize the diversity of unloading positions, and improve the utilization rate of the storage space above the storage bin 12.
[0049] The material distribution mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the feeding mechanism 3 and is used to distribute the raw materials on the feeding mechanism 3 to the corresponding storage bins 12 so that the raw materials are unloaded from above the storage mechanism 1.
[0050] The storage bin 12 is used to store raw materials; specifically, it can hold the same or different raw materials. The limiting component 11 can be a structure formed of cement board.
[0051] The unloading bin 21 is used for unloading cargo from trucks. The material feeding component 22 guides the raw materials in the unloading bin 21 to the feeding mechanism 3. Specifically, the material feeding component 22 can be made of metal.
[0052] Specifically, the truck dumps raw materials into the unloading bin 21. The raw materials then fall through the feeding component 22 onto the feeding mechanism 3. At this time, the feeding mechanism 3 is already conveying raw materials, meaning the raw materials continuously fall from the feeding component 22 to the feeding mechanism 3, which continuously delivers the raw materials to ensure a relatively even feeding. Meanwhile, the material distribution mechanism 4 is located above the corresponding storage bin 12. The raw materials are unloaded from the feeding mechanism 3 into the storage bin 12 through the material distribution mechanism 4. The material distribution mechanism 4 serves two purposes: intercepting the raw materials in the feeding mechanism 3 and dumping the raw materials into the storage bin 12, ensuring that the raw materials are accurately delivered to the corresponding storage bin 12.
[0053] The material storage device in this embodiment automatically moves the raw materials a second time by connecting the feeding mechanism 3 through the lower end of the unloading mechanism 2 and the upper end of the limiting component 11, and unloads them at the upper end of the storage bin 12. This can improve the space utilization rate above the storage bin 12. At the same time, the structure has a high degree of automation and can simultaneously take into account high space utilization and unloading efficiency, which can meet the needs of large projects.
[0054] Example 2:
[0055] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, please refer to... Figure 3-4 The feeding mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a driving component 31, a transmission component 32 and a feeding component 33. The driving component 31 is driven to the transmission component 32, and the feeding component 33 is connected to the transmission component 32. The feeding component 33 is used to load raw materials, and the transmission component 32 is used to drive the raw materials on the feeding component 33 to be transferred from the unloading mechanism 2 to the storage mechanism 1.
[0056] Among them, the drive component 31 refers to the device that provides power output, which can be implemented by an electric motor 431 or a hydraulic motor, serving as the power source of the material conveying system; the transmission component 32 refers to the mechanical structure that transmits power, which can be implemented by a chain drive device or a gear and rack assembly, used to convert rotary motion into linear displacement; the feeding component 33 refers to the transport component that carries materials, which can be implemented by a conveyor belt or a slide rail type loading platform, ensuring the stability of materials during transport through a mechanical support structure.
[0057] Specifically, the drive component 31 drives the feeding component 33 to move in a directional manner via the transmission component 32. After the unloading mechanism 2 completes the initial unloading, the feeding component 33 moves along a preset path under the drive of the transmission component 32, lifting the raw materials located at the bottom of the unloading bin 21 to the upper space of the storage bin 12. During the material transfer process, the transmission component 32 maintains a uniform speed, and the feeding component 33 steadily transports the material to the target height through continuous or intermittent transportation. When the material reaches the upper end of the storage bin 12, the unloading operation is completed by gravity or mechanical assistance.
[0058] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves automated filling of the upper space of the storage silo 12, solving the problem of limited material stacking height in traditional unloading methods. The material conveying process requires no manual intervention, eliminating secondary handling steps and improving the utilization efficiency of the three-dimensional space of the storage silo 12. The mechanical transmission system ensures the accuracy and continuity of the material conveying path, enabling different batches of material to be evenly distributed in the upper area of each storage silo 12.
[0059] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 3 further includes a fixing component 34, which is connected through to the upper end of the storage bin 12. The fixing component 34 is used to support the driving component 31, the transmission component 32 and the feeding component 33.
[0060] Among them, the fixed component 34 refers to the support structure that passes through the top of the storage silo 12 and is rigidly connected to the silo body. Specifically, it can be implemented by metal beams or profile frames, and its through connection can be achieved by welding or bolt fastening.
[0061] The upper end of the storage bin 12 refers to the load-bearing area around the top opening of the storage bin 12. Its through connection must ensure that the fixed component 34 spans the top space of multiple storage bins 12. Specifically, it can be achieved by using pre-embedded connectors or reinforcing ribs.
[0062] The support drive component 31 refers to the rigid connection between the base of the drive component 31 and the fixed component 34 through a mounting base or fixed bracket. Specifically, anti-loosening bolts or positioning pins can be used to suppress the vibration and displacement of the drive component 31 during operation.
[0063] The supporting transmission component 32 refers to the connection between the guide rail or chain tensioning mechanism of the transmission component 32 and the fixed component 34. Specifically, it can be achieved by using a snap-on fixed seat or an adjustable bracket to maintain the straightness accuracy of the transmission path.
[0064] The supporting feeding component 33 refers to anchoring the conveying track or bearing platform of the feeding component 33 to the fixed component 34. Specifically, it can be achieved by U-groove fixing or flange docking, which is used to eliminate track deviation during material conveying.
[0065] Specifically, the fixed component 34 is configured to extend laterally through the top opening edge of multiple storage bins 12, with its two ends rigidly connected to the side walls of the storage bins 12 by welding. The drive component 31 is fixed to the middle of the fixed component 34 via a mounting base with shock-absorbing rubber. The chain guide rail 341 of the transmission component 32 is connected to the extension brackets on both sides of the fixed component 34 via adjustable bolt sets. The conveyor belt 432 bracket of the feeding component 33 is connected to the reserved interface at the front end of the fixed component 34 via a flange. During the operation of the feeding mechanism 3, the fixed component 34, as the main load-bearing body, absorbs the vibration energy generated by the drive component 31 through multi-point rigid connections, while constraining the movement of the transmission component 32 and the feeding component 33 within a set spatial range. When the feeding component 33 carries material and moves horizontally, the bending stiffness of the fixed component 34 can prevent the deformation of the conveyor belt 432 bracket due to load changes, while the chain tension of the transmission component 32 is kept constant by the spacing adjustment mechanism of the brackets on both sides of the fixed component 34.
[0066] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of component displacement caused by the lack of overall support when the feeding mechanism 3 is running on top of the storage bin 12. The vibration energy of the driving component 31 is absorbed and dispersed by the fixed component 34, the movement trajectory of the transmission component 32 is kept straight by the rigid bracket, and the bearing platform of the feeding component 33 is prevented from deformation due to full anchoring. During the material conveying process, the coordinated positioning accuracy of each functional component is maintained by the spatial constraint of the fixed component 34, effectively preventing jamming or spillage caused by component displacement.
[0067] In some embodiments, see Figures 5-6 The feeding mechanism 3 also includes a fixing component 34, with guide rails 341 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing component 34; the distributing mechanism 4 includes a sliding component 41, a supporting component 42, a feeding component 43, and a distributing component 44. The sliding component 41 is movably connected to the guide rail 341, the supporting component 42 is connected to the sliding component 41, the feeding component 43 is connected to the supporting component 42 and can be connected to the feeding component 33, and the distributing component 44 is connected to the supporting component 42 and can be connected to the feeding component 43.
[0068] The guide rail 341 refers to the guide rails set on both sides of the fixed component 34, which can be implemented using I-beam rails or linear slide rails, providing a directional movement path for the sliding component 41. The sliding component 41 refers to the execution unit that moves along the guide rail 341, which can be implemented using an electric slide table or roller assembly, driving the entire material distribution mechanism 4 to move along the arrangement direction of the storage bin 12. The support component 42 refers to the load-bearing structure connecting the sliding component 41 with other functional components, which can be implemented using a rectangular frame or cantilever bracket, ensuring the structural stability of the material distribution mechanism 4 during operation. The feeding component 43 refers to the transition device connecting the feeding mechanism 3 and the material distribution component 44, which can be implemented using an inclined conveyor belt or a guide trough, realizing the continuous transfer of materials from the feeding mechanism 3 to the material distribution component 44. The material distribution component 44 refers to the guiding component that controls the landing point of the material, which can be implemented using an adjustable angle guide plate or a telescopic diverter, accurately guiding the material into the target storage bin 12.
[0069] Specifically, guide rails 341 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the fixed component 34 to form a double-rail guiding system, ensuring that the sliding component 41 remains horizontally stable during movement. When it is necessary to switch the unloading position, the sliding component 41 moves along the guide rail 341 to directly above the target storage bin 12, and the supporting component 42 drives the feeding component 43 and the distributing component 44 to move synchronously. After the feeding component 43 moves into position, it forms a material channel with the feeding component 33. The raw material is conveyed to the distributing component 44 through the feeding component 43. The distributing component 44 adjusts the guiding angle according to the position of the storage bin 12, so that the material falls accurately into the target storage bin 12. The entire process is guided by the guide rail 341 to achieve precise positioning of the distributing mechanism 4, avoiding manual adjustment or secondary mechanical handling.
[0070] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves precise multi-point positioning of the material distribution mechanism 4 at the upper end of the storage bin 12, ensuring that materials fall directly into the designated area of the target storage bin 12, avoiding space waste caused by material accumulation. The material distribution process does not require interruption of the feeding mechanism 3; the guide rail 341 enables rapid switching of the material distribution position, reducing equipment idle time. Materials are directly introduced into the upper space of the storage bin 12 through the material distribution component 44, effectively improving the vertical space utilization rate of the bin.
[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The feeding component 43 includes a motor 431, a transmission component, a conveyor belt 432, a fixed frame 433, and a feeding plate 434. The transmission component is driven and connected to the motor 431, the conveyor belt 432 is connected to the transmission component, the fixed frame 433 is used to support and fix the motor 431 and the transmission component, the feeding plate 434 is connected to the fixed frame 433 and connected to the conveyor belt 432, and the feeding plate 434 is inclined towards the feeding mechanism 3.
[0072] Among them, motor 431 refers to the device that provides mechanical power, specifically a three-phase asynchronous motor, used to drive the transmission components to generate power output. Transmission components refer to the power transmission mechanism, specifically a chain drive or belt drive structure, converting the rotational motion of motor 431 into the linear motion of conveyor belt 432. Conveyor belt 432 refers to the circulating conveying device that carries materials, specifically a rubber belt or steel mesh belt structure, forming a continuous material conveying channel. Fixed frame 433 refers to the supporting frame structure, specifically a welded steel frame or bolted frame, used to maintain the relative positional stability of motor 431 and transmission components. Feed plate 434 refers to the material guiding device, specifically a stainless steel plate or a polymer composite material plate, guiding materials into conveyor belt 432 through an inclined angle.
[0073] Specifically, when raw materials are fed to the feed plate 434, the material accumulates and pushes into the conveyor belt 432. The motor 431 drives the conveyor belt 432 through the transmission component, continuously conveying the material along a preset direction. The fixed frame 433 integrates the power component and the transmission component into a rigid whole, preventing structural displacement due to vibration. The feed plate 434 connects the feeding mechanism 3 and the conveyor belt 432 in an inclined posture, and the material naturally enters the surface of the conveyor belt 432 under the pushing action. Driven by the transmission component, the conveyor belt 432 forms a directional movement, delivering the material to the upper space of the storage bin 12, realizing automated material conveying.
[0074] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes the three-dimensional automatic filling of materials in the storage bin 12, effectively solving the technical defect that traditional unloading methods cannot utilize the upper space of the bin. The material conveying process is completed through mechanical transmission, eliminating the complexity of manual handling and improving the space utilization and material filling efficiency of the storage bin 12.
[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The feeding component 43 also includes a lifting cylinder 436. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 436 is connected to the fixed frame 433. The lifting cylinder 436 is used to drive the conveyor belt 432 and the feeding plate 434 to lift synchronously.
[0076] Among them, the lifting cylinder 436 refers to a linear actuator driven by air pressure. It can be a double-acting cylinder to achieve bidirectional movement. Its piston rod is rigidly connected to the fixed frame 433, and the extension and retraction movement drives the fixed frame 433 to move vertically as a whole.
[0077] Among them, the fixed frame 433 refers to the rigid frame that supports the motor 431 and the transmission components. It can be assembled from welded steel structures or aluminum alloy profiles and is used to maintain the structural stability of the conveyor belt 432 and the feed plate 434.
[0078] Among them, conveyor belt 432 refers to a flexible circulating conveying device, which can adopt a rubber belt or steel mesh belt structure. Its drive wheel is connected to the transmission component through a coupling to realize the directional conveying of raw materials.
[0079] Among them, the feed plate 434 refers to the inclined guide device, which can be made of bent steel plate or engineering plastic plate, and its inclination angle is connected to the end of the conveyor belt 432.
[0080] Specifically, when the material distribution mechanism 4 needs to switch the storage bin 12, the lifting cylinder 436 drives the fixed frame 433 to rise, causing the conveyor belt 432 and the feed plate 434 to disengage from the feeding component 33. At this time, the material distribution mechanism 4 slides along the guide rail 341 to the target position. During this process, a gap is formed between the conveyor belt 432 and the feeding component 33 to prevent the raw material from being accidentally carried away due to contact. After the material distribution mechanism 4 is positioned, the lifting cylinder 436 drives the fixed frame 433 to descend, causing the feed plate 434 to reconnect with the feeding component 33. There is a gap of 1-5mm between the feed plate 434 and the feeding component 33, which can prevent the movement of the feeding component 33 from being blocked, so that the conveyor belt 432 returns to the material connection state with the feeding component 33. After receiving the raw material, the conveyor belt 432 is driven by the transmission component to transport the material along the inclined feed plate 434 to the top of the storage bin 12, realizing high-level dumping.
[0081] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes the independent operation of the material distribution mechanism 4 and the feeding mechanism 3, ensuring that they do not affect each other. When the material distribution mechanism 4 needs to move to different storage bins 12, the lifting cylinder 436 drives the fixed frame 433 to rise, that is, drives the conveyor belt 432 and the feeding plate 434 to rise, so that it is separated from the feeding mechanism 3 by a certain distance, which can reduce the resistance between the feeding component 43 and the feeding mechanism 3, and ensure the smooth movement of the material distribution mechanism 4. The lifting cylinder 436 can switch different states according to the different actions of the material distribution mechanism 4, which facilitates the stable operation of the two structures.
[0082] In some embodiments, the material distribution component 44 is inclined toward the storage bin 12.
[0083] The material distribution component 44 is a part used to guide the flow of raw materials. It can be made of metal or plastic plate and forms a material sliding path by adjusting its tilt angle. This component is fixedly connected to the support component 42 in the material distribution mechanism 4. When the material distribution mechanism 4 moves to the target storage bin 12, the tilt surface of the material distribution component 44 forms a spatial correspondence with the inlet of the storage bin 12.
[0084] The tilt setting refers to the fact that the material distribution component 44 forms a non-perpendicular angle with the horizontal plane. Specifically, the tilt angle can be 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and can be flexibly set according to the actual situation.
[0085] Specifically, the inclined surface of the material distribution component 44 forms an inclined slide during the material distribution process. When the feeding mechanism 3 delivers the raw materials to the material distribution mechanism 4, the inclined angle of the material distribution component 44 facilitates the raw materials to slide into the storage bin 12, reducing the resistance of the raw materials falling and ensuring the smoothness of the material discharge.
[0086] In some embodiments, the sliding component 41 includes a slider 411 and a drive member 412, the drive member 412 being drivenly connected to the slider 411, and the slider 411 being movably connected to the guide rail 341.
[0087] The slider 411 is a mechanical component used to move linearly along the guide rail 341. Specifically, it can be a metal block with rollers. By forming sliding friction or rolling friction with the contact surface of the guide rail 341, smooth movement is achieved.
[0088] Among them, the driving component 412 refers to the device that provides power to the slider 411. Specifically, it can be achieved by using an electric push rod or a servo motor 431 in conjunction with a gear and rack mechanism, which pushes the slider 411 to move along the guide rail 341 by outputting linear or rotary motion.
[0089] Specifically, when the dispensing mechanism 4 needs to switch its unloading position, the drive unit 412 is activated, generating a driving force that directly acts on the slider 411, causing it to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 341. The mechanical constraints of the guide rail 341 limit the movement trajectory of the slider 411, ensuring that the dispensing mechanism 4 always slides along a predetermined path. When the drive unit 412 uses a servo motor 431, the position of the slider 411 can be fed back in real time via an encoder, thereby controlling the precise positioning of the dispensing mechanism 4 above multiple storage bins 12. The moving speed of the slider 411 can be controlled by adjusting the output power of the drive unit 412, enabling the dispensing mechanism 4 to quickly switch to the target storage bin 12 while avoiding vibration or positioning deviation caused by excessive speed.
[0090] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes the automated sliding switching of the material distribution mechanism 4 above the storage bin 12, which solves the problems of unstable movement path and slow switching speed in traditional operation, so that the material pouring position switching process can be completed without manual intervention, while ensuring the accurate positioning of the material distribution mechanism 4 between each storage bin 12.
[0091] Example 3:
[0092] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that, please refer to... Figure 7 In this embodiment, the material feeding component 22 includes a storage chamber 221 and a storage door 222. The storage chamber 221 includes an inlet 223 and an outlet that are arranged opposite to each other. The inlet 223 is located on the side that communicates with the unloading chamber 21, and the outlet is located on the side that is close to the feeding mechanism 3. The storage door 222 is located on the side of the outlet and is used to seal the outlet.
[0093] Among them, the ground compartment 221 refers to the material transmission channel connecting the unloading compartment 21 and the feeding mechanism 3. Specifically, it can be realized by a metal welded box or a concrete pouring structure. It forms a continuous material flow space inside, which is used to receive the raw materials falling from the unloading compartment 21 and guide them to the feeding mechanism 3.
[0094] The inlet 223 refers to the opening where the ground silo 221 connects with the unloading silo 21. Specifically, it can be implemented using a rectangular or circular cross-section channel. Its axis is horizontally aligned with the bottom outlet of the unloading silo 21 to ensure that the material can fall directly into the ground silo 221.
[0095] The discharge port refers to the material output end of the ground silo 221 that is open to the feeding mechanism 3. The opening direction is perpendicular to the movement trajectory of the feeding mechanism 3, so that the material can be evenly distributed to the surface of the feeding component 33.
[0096] Among them, the silo door 222 refers to a movable sealing component installed on the side of the discharge port. Specifically, it can be implemented by a hinged metal gate or a hydraulically driven sliding baffle. When closed, it completely covers the discharge port section, forming a physical sealing barrier.
[0097] Specifically, the storage bin 221 forms a continuous material channel with the unloading bin 21 through the inlet 223. When raw materials fall from the unloading bin 21, they first enter the storage bin 221 and slide along its inclined bottom surface towards the outlet. The bin door 222 remains closed when not unloading, blocking the connection between the outlet and the feeding mechanism 3 and preventing accidental leakage of material due to gravity. When the feeding mechanism 3 moves below the outlet, the bin door 222 opens via mechanical linkage or an independent drive device, allowing the material accumulated in the storage bin 221 to fall evenly along the outlet onto the surface of the feeding component 33. During the continuous movement of the feeding component 33, the bin door 222 can dynamically adjust its opening according to the feeding speed to ensure that the material output rate matches the carrying capacity of the feeding mechanism 3.
[0098] Through the above technical solutions, this application can effectively avoid the blockage of the discharge port caused by disordered material flow during the unloading process, and at the same time, the physical sealing effect of the silo door 222 eliminates the risk of material leakage. The relative position design of the ground silo 221 and the feeding mechanism 3 shortens the material falling distance and reduces the impact force on the feeding mechanism 3. The elongated shape design of the discharge port allows the material to be evenly spread on the surface of the feeding component 33, improving the operational accuracy of subsequent material distribution processes.
[0099] In some embodiments, the discharge port is elongated, with its length significantly greater than its width.
[0100] Among them, the elongated shape means that the length of the discharge port is much greater than the width. Specifically, it can be achieved by adopting a rectangular opening with a length-to-width ratio greater than 3:1. The material conveying needs are matched by expanding the coverage of the discharge port in the direction of travel of the feeding mechanism 3.
[0101] Specifically, the inlet 223 is horizontally aligned with the unloading bin 21, forming a continuous flow path for the material to enter the storage chamber 221 from the unloading bin 21. The outlet, through its laterally extending narrow opening, spatially matches the movement trajectory of the feeding mechanism 3, allowing the material to be evenly spread along the direction of travel of the feeding mechanism 3. The extension length of the outlet covers the effective working area of the feeding mechanism 3, ensuring that the material flow is not interrupted due to local accumulation during the conveying process.
[0102] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of material flow obstruction caused by unreasonable structure at the discharge port, enabling the material to spread evenly along the feeding mechanism 3, avoiding unloading interruption caused by local accumulation, and improving material transfer efficiency.
[0103] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0104] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0105] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0106] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above or below" a first feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on" a first feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" a first feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0107] Although the description of this application has been made in conjunction with the specific embodiments described above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that many substitutions, modifications, and variations can be made based on the above description. Therefore, all such substitutions, modifications, and variations are included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
