Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material storage technology, specifically a large-capacity granular storage silo. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial production sectors, such as food processing, chemicals, building materials, and pharmaceuticals, the storage and management of particulate materials is an indispensable and crucial part of the production process. The continuous expansion of production scale places higher demands on the storage capacity and management efficiency of particulate materials.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221835971U discloses a biomass pellet fuel storage bin, comprising an outer bin body with fixed support legs at each of the four bottom corners. The outer bin body contains an inner bin body. A feeding assembly is located on one side of the top of the outer bin body. Ventilation filters are located on both side walls of the inner bin body. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inner bin body. A stirring assembly is located within the inner cavity of the inner bin body. Protective boxes are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the outer bin body. A dehumidification assembly is located within the inner cavity of the protective boxes. A moisture-absorbing filter is located on the rear wall of the outer bin body. A discharge assembly is located at the bottom of the outer bin body.

[0004] Although the device achieves dehumidification by stirring the granular material inside the silo, it mixes the material that enters the silo first with the material that enters later. When taking out the material from the silo, the first-in-first-out material exit order cannot be guaranteed, which makes the material stored earlier prone to expiring or deteriorating due to long-term storage, affecting the quality of the material. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a large-capacity pellet storage silo.

[0006] A large-capacity pellet storage silo includes:

[0007] The hopper body has a discharge section at its lower end, the discharge section is conical in shape, and the hopper body has a hopper cover at its inlet end;

[0008] A partition component, disposed inside the storage compartment, is used to divide the storage space of the compartment. The partition component includes two channels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the compartment. Two movable plates are slidably installed inside each of the two channels. A sealing partition is installed on one side of each of the two movable plates in the same channel. One side of each of the two sealing partitions is connected to two movable plates in the other channel. A threaded rod is provided inside the channel. A threaded ring is provided inside each of the two movable plates. Both threaded rings are threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is driven by a transmission component. Slots are opened on both sides of the compartment, and the two sealing partitions are slidably connected to the two slots respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first pulley and a second pulley rotatably mounted on one side of the chamber. The first pulley is connected to one end of a threaded rod, and the first pulley and the second pulley are driven by a transmission belt.

[0010] Preferably, a driving component is provided on one side of the hopper body, and the driving component drives the second pulley to rotate.

[0011] Preferably, a valve is provided on the outer surface of the material discharge section of the silo body, and the valve is used to control the opening and closing of the material discharge section outlet.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the chamber is provided with a ventilation opening, and a filter screen is provided inside the ventilation opening.

[0013] Preferably, a support frame is installed on the outer surface of the warehouse, and ladders are installed on one side and the top of the support frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes a partitioning component to ensure a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system for granular materials. For granular materials that are easily perishable, expire, or affected by moisture, FIFO ensures that the first-stored material is used preferentially. This effectively prevents the quality of materials from being affected by prolonged storage, ensuring stable and reliable product quality. It also reduces the time materials spend in the warehouse, thereby lowering the risk of spoilage and guaranteeing material quality and performance. Furthermore, it accelerates material turnover, maintaining a relatively efficient flow of materials within the warehouse. Secondly, materials may suffer losses during storage, such as evaporation, leakage, and natural depletion. FIFO allows the first-stored material to be used as quickly as possible, reducing storage time and thus minimizing material loss and saving raw material costs. Finally, the partitioning component flexibly divides the warehouse into multiple relatively independent storage spaces, each capable of storing different types of granular materials. This allows for the storage of various types of granular materials that can be used up in a single transaction, effectively improving the utilization rate of warehouse space and the flexibility of material management.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not illustrated to scale. For clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the drawings have been exaggerated or reduced in size. Any size is only illustrative and not limiting.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a large-capacity pellet storage silo, including a silo body 3, a discharge section 5 at the lower end of the silo body 3, the discharge section 5 being conical in shape, and a silo cover 4 at the feed end of the silo body 3.

[0026] A valve 6 is installed on the outer surface of the unloading section 5 of the silo body 3. The valve 6 is used to control the opening and closing of the outlet of the unloading section 5.

[0027] Ventilation openings 7 are provided on the outer surface of the chamber 3, and a filter screen 8 is provided inside the ventilation openings 7. An agitation assembly is provided inside the chamber 3 to improve the ventilation and dehumidification effect.

[0028] A support frame 1 is installed on the outer surface of the container 3, and a ladder 2 is installed on one side and the top of the support frame 1.

[0029] Detailed Implementation: The silo body 3 serves as the main storage space for storing large quantities of granular materials. It has a large volume, sufficient to meet the needs of large-capacity storage. A silo cover 4 is located at the feed end of the silo body 3, acting as a seal. When granular materials need to be added, the silo cover 4 is opened, and the material enters the silo body 3 through the feed inlet for storage. The discharge section 5 at the lower end of the silo body 3 is cone-shaped. This cone structure helps guide the granular materials downwards, preventing blockages or bridging at the discharge inlet and ensuring smooth discharge. A valve 6 is installed on the outer surface of the discharge section 5 to control the opening and closing of the discharge outlet. When discharge is required, the valve 6 is opened, and the granular materials flow towards the outlet along the cone-shaped discharge section 5 under their own gravity, achieving precise material discharge. When discharge is not required, the valve 6 is closed, effectively preventing further material outflow and achieving precise control of the discharge process.

[0030] The ventilation openings 7 on the outer surface of the storage chamber 3 serve a ventilation function. During storage, the ventilation openings 7 allow air to circulate between the inside and outside of the storage chamber 3, preventing excessive humidity or abnormal air pressure inside, and preventing the granular materials from clumping or deteriorating due to moisture. Simultaneously, the filter screen 8 inside the ventilation openings 7 effectively filters out external dust and impurities from entering the storage chamber 3, ensuring the purity and quality of the stored granular materials and protecting their quality from external environmental factors during storage. The ventilation openings 7 can be fitted with sealing plugs to seal them when ventilation is not required.

[0031] Support frame 1 is installed on the outer surface of the silo body 3, providing stable support for the entire silo and ensuring its safe and stable placement in its designated position. It bears the weight of the silo body 3 and the materials stored inside, preventing the silo from tipping over or being damaged due to its own weight or external factors. Ladder 2 is installed on one side and at the top of support frame 1, facilitating workers' access to the silo for daily maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and material replenishment. This improves operational convenience and safety, ensuring workers can complete their tasks efficiently and safely.

[0032] Through the synergistic effect of the above components, this large-capacity granular storage silo can achieve functions such as large-capacity storage of granular materials, precise feeding control, ventilation and filtration, as well as stable support and safe operation, effectively meeting the requirements for granular material storage in industrial production, warehousing and logistics and other fields.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] refer to Figures 3 to 5 This utility model provides a large-capacity pellet storage silo, comprising:

[0035] The bin body 3 has a discharge section 5 at its lower end, which is cone-shaped, and a bin cover 4 at the feed end of the bin body 3.

[0036] The partition component 9 is disposed inside the compartment 3 and is used to partition the storage space of the compartment 3. The partition component 9 includes two channels 91 symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the compartment 3. Two movable plates 93 are slidably installed inside each of the two channels 91. Sealing partitions 94 are installed on one side of each of the two movable plates 93 disposed in the same channel 91. One side of each of the two sealing partitions 94 is connected to the two movable plates 93 inside the other channel 91. A threaded rod 92 is disposed inside the channel 91. A threaded ring is disposed inside each of the two movable plates 93. The two threaded rings are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 92. The threaded rod 92 is driven by a transmission component. The compartment 3 has slots 95 on both sides. The two sealing partitions 94 are slidably connected to the two slots 95 respectively.

[0037] The transmission assembly includes a first pulley 96 and a second pulley 97 rotatably mounted on one side of the chamber 3. The first pulley 96 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 92, and the first pulley 96 and the second pulley 97 are driven by a transmission belt 99.

[0038] A drive component 98 is provided on one side of the compartment 3. The drive component 98 drives the pulley 2 97 to rotate. The drive component 98 includes, but is not limited to, a motor.

[0039] Detailed Implementation: When discharging granular material into the storage bin, valve 6 is first opened, and the granular material at the lower end of bin 3 is discharged from the discharge section 5. Then, the drive unit 98 is activated, which drives pulley 97 to rotate. With the transmission of the transmission belt 99, pulley 96 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the threaded rod 92 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 92 drives two moving plates 93 to slide in opposite directions within the channel 91 through the threaded engagement. The two moving plates 93 gradually move away, thereby pulling the two merged sealing partitions 94 to slide along the opening 95, thus separating the two sealing partitions 94. The granular material stored on the upper layer of the sealing partitions 94 continues to be discharged to the lower end of the sealing partitions 94 for continuous discharge or to fill the storage space at the lower end of the sealing partitions 94 for the next discharge. Then, the drive unit 98 is activated again to drive the threaded rod 92 to reverse, driving the two sealing partitions 94 to close, so that new granular material can be replenished from inside bin 3, thus ensuring that the granular material stored earlier is discharged first-in-first-out.

[0040] The partition component 9 ensures that granular materials operate on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. For granular materials that are easily perishable, expire, or affected by moisture, FIFO ensures that the first-stored materials are used preferentially. This effectively avoids the impact of prolonged storage on material quality, ensuring stable and reliable product quality. Prioritizing the use of first-stored materials reduces the time materials spend in the warehouse, thus lowering the risk of spoilage and guaranteeing material quality and performance. It also accelerates material turnover, keeping materials in a relatively efficient flow state within the silo 3. Furthermore, materials may suffer losses during storage, such as evaporation, leakage, and natural depletion. FIFO allows the first-stored materials to be used as quickly as possible, reducing storage time and thus minimizing material loss and saving raw material costs. Finally, the partition component 9 can flexibly divide the silo 3 into multiple relatively independent storage spaces, each capable of storing different types of granular materials. This allows for the storage of various types of granular materials that can be used up in a single transaction, effectively improving the utilization rate of storage space and the flexibility of material management.
