Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cylindrical silo technology, and in particular to a cylindrical silo that can uniformly discharge materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of industrial production and material storage, silos are a common type of storage equipment, widely used for storing various materials such as grains, chemical raw materials, and ores.

[0003] However, due to the inherent characteristics of the materials and the influence of the internal structure, cylindrical silos tend to exhibit a phenomenon where materials fall rapidly in the central area and slowly in the peripheral areas during use. This results in severely uneven material distribution within the silo in the later stages of material feeding, with some areas experiencing material accumulation while others are almost empty. This uneven feeding not only causes material residue and increases cleaning costs but may also affect the quality of the grain, such as causing localized dampness or mold. Traditional cylindrical silos generally suffer from uneven material feeding during the feeding process.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the problem of uneven material distribution in existing cylindrical silos, where the material falls rapidly in the central area but slowly at the edges, resulting in material residue, a cylindrical silo with uniform material distribution can be designed. By optimizing the silo structure and setting up special devices, the problem of uneven material distribution in traditional cylindrical silos can be effectively solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the problem of material falling rapidly in the central area and slowly in the edge area of ​​the existing cylindrical silo, resulting in severely uneven material distribution within the silo and material residue caused by uneven material falling.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a cylindrical silo capable of uniformly discharging materials, comprising a cylindrical silo body, a silo cover, and a support. A detachable silo cover is installed on the upper end of the cylindrical silo body. It also includes a positioning and locking assembly. The inner wall of the cylindrical silo body is fixedly connected with a ring of equally spaced positioning and locking assemblies. The positioning and locking assembly includes a positioning seat and a locking block. A locking groove is opened on the upper end of the positioning seat. A sliding groove is opened on the inner wall of the positioning seat, which is connected to the locking groove. A connecting frame is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A guide cone is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame. A connecting flange is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylindrical silo body. A ring of equally spaced damping springs is fixedly connected between the connecting flange and the support. A ring of equally spaced vibration motors is installed on the lower outer surface of the cylindrical silo body.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting frame connected to the guide cone is placed into the positioning seat through the locking groove. The connecting frame slides in the sliding groove. Then, the locking block at the lower end of the silo cover is aligned with the locking groove and inserted into the locking groove. The silo body and the silo cover are fixed. The material to be stored is evenly conveyed into the silo body through the feed port. After entering the silo body, the material first contacts the guide cone and spreads evenly in all directions along the cone surface. The material continues to fall and, when passing through the diversion component, is evenly distributed to various small areas through the gaps in the grid plates of the upper and lower diversion racks, making the distribution of material in the silo body more uniform. When discharge is required, the discharge port is opened and the vibration motor is started at the same time. The vibration motor generates vibration, which is transmitted to the silo body through the damping spring, causing the material to flow and redistribute continuously in the silo body, avoiding bridging and accumulation of material, and achieving uniform material discharge.

[0008] Preferably, the locking block is inserted into the locking groove, and the locking block is fixedly connected to the cover. The angle between the conical surface of the guide cone and the horizontal plane is 45° to 60°.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting seat is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical silo body. A diversion component is provided at the upper end of the limiting seat. The diversion component includes a sleeve. An upper material distribution frame and a lower material distribution frame are installed in the sleeve from top to bottom. Both the upper and lower material distribution frames are equipped with crisscrossing grid plates.

[0010] Preferably, the grid plates in the upper and lower material distribution frames are arranged in an alternating pattern, and the sleeve is detachably installed on the upper end of the limiting seat, with the sleeve positioned below the guide cone.

[0011] Preferably, a jetting assembly is installed in the lower part of the cylindrical silo body. The jetting assembly includes an air inlet pipe, a high-pressure nozzle is installed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe, and a ring of equally spaced support columns are fixedly connected to the outer side of the air inlet pipe. The support columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical silo body.

[0012] Preferably, the air intake pipe and the cylindrical silo body are concentric, and the high-pressure nozzle outlet is arranged at a downward angle.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the cylindrical silo body is provided with reinforcing ribs, and the number of vibration motors is not less than 3.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting the guide cone, the material is ensured to be evenly distributed in the bin during feeding, effectively solving the problem of uneven material discharge. The guide cone adopts a unique quick-release connection structure, which is not only convenient to disassemble and assemble, but also has a stable and reliable connection. During the discharge stage, the vibrating motor generates vibration, which is transmitted to the bin body through the high-performance damping spring, causing the entire bin body to generate a slight vibration. This vibration causes the material to form a continuous flow state in the bin, realizing the dynamic redistribution of the material and avoiding bridging and accumulation of the material. The uniform material discharge greatly reduces the amount of material residue in the bin, reducing cleaning costs and material waste. The uniform material drop ensures the stable operation of subsequent processing equipment and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: a cylindrical silo capable of uniformly discharging materials, comprising a cylindrical silo body 1, a silo cover 2, and a support 3. The upper end of the cylindrical silo body 1 is equipped with a detachable silo cover 2, and it also includes a positioning and locking assembly 4. The inner wall of the cylindrical silo body 1 is fixedly connected with a ring-shaped, equidistantly distributed positioning and locking assembly 4. The positioning and locking assembly 4 includes a positioning seat 41 and a locking block 42. The upper end of the positioning seat 41 is provided with a locking groove 43, and the inner wall of the positioning seat 41 is provided with a sliding groove 44 that communicates with the locking groove 43. A connecting frame 45 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 44, and a guide cone 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 45. A connecting flange 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cylindrical silo body 1, and a ring-shaped, equidistantly distributed damping spring 10 is fixedly connected between the connecting flange 9 and the support 3. A ring-shaped, equidistantly distributed vibration motor 11 is installed on the lower outer surface of the cylindrical silo body 1.

[0023] Please see Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, the locking block 42 is inserted into the locking groove 43 and is fixedly connected to the silo cover 2. The angle between the cone surface of the guide cone 5 and the horizontal plane is 45° to 60°. The inner wall of the cylindrical silo body 1 is fixedly connected to the limiting seat 6. The upper end of the limiting seat 6 is provided with a diversion component 7. The diversion component 7 includes a sleeve 71. The upper material distribution frame 72 and the lower material distribution frame 73 are installed in the sleeve 71 from top to bottom. The upper material distribution frame 72 and the lower material distribution frame 73 are both installed with crisscrossing grid plates 74. The grid plates 74 in the upper material distribution frame 72 and the lower material distribution frame 73 are arranged in an alternating pattern. The sleeve 71 is detachably installed on the upper end of the limiting seat 6 and is located below the guide cone 5.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a blowing assembly 8 is installed in the lower part of the cylindrical silo body 1. The blowing assembly 8 includes an air inlet pipe 81, a high-pressure nozzle 82 is installed on the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 81, and a ring of equally spaced support columns 83 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the air inlet pipe 81. The support columns 83 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical silo body 1. The air inlet pipe 81 and the cylindrical silo body 1 are concentric. The air outlet of the high-pressure nozzle 82 is arranged at a downward angle. The outer surface of the cylindrical silo body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 12. The number of vibration motors 11 is not less than 3.

[0025] During operation, the connecting frame 45 connected to the guide cone 5 is placed into the positioning seat 41 through the locking groove 43. The connecting frame 45 slides in the sliding groove 44. Then, the locking block 42 at the lower end of the silo cover 2 is aligned with the locking groove 43 and inserted into the locking groove 43, fixing the cylindrical silo body 1 and the silo cover 2. The material to be stored is evenly conveyed into the cylindrical silo body 1 through the feed inlet. After entering the cylindrical silo body 1, the material first contacts the guide cone 5 and spreads evenly in all directions along the cone surface of the guide cone 5. The material continues to fall and, when passing through the diversion component 7, is diverted by the upper diversion component. The gaps between the inner grid plates 74 of the material rack 72 and the lower distribution rack 73 are evenly distributed to each small area, making the material distribution within the cylindrical silo body 1 more uniform. When material needs to be discharged, the discharge port is opened, and the vibration motor 11 is started at the same time. The vibration motor 11 generates vibration, which is transmitted to the cylindrical silo body 1 through the damping spring 10, causing the material to flow and redistribute continuously within the cylindrical silo body 1, avoiding bridging and accumulation of material, and achieving uniform material discharge. Compressed air enters the air inlet pipe 81 and is then sprayed onto the inner wall of the cylindrical silo body 1 through the high-pressure nozzle 82, further preventing material accumulation.

[0026] Through the above steps, the guide cone 5 ensures that the material is evenly distributed within the silo during feeding, effectively solving the problem of uneven material distribution. The guide cone 5 also features a unique quick-release connection structure, which is not only convenient to assemble and disassemble but also provides a stable and reliable connection. During the discharge phase, the vibration motor 11 generates vibration, which is transmitted to the silo body through a high-performance damping spring, causing the entire silo body to vibrate slightly. This vibration promotes continuous material flow within the silo, achieving dynamic redistribution of the material and preventing bridging and accumulation. Even material distribution significantly reduces material residue within the silo, lowering cleaning costs and reducing material waste. The even material drop ensures stable operation of subsequent processing equipment and improves production efficiency. This addresses the problem of existing cylindrical silos where material falls rapidly in the central area but slowly at the edges, resulting in severe uneven material distribution and material residue.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
