[0019] This application discloses a moisture-proof and ventilated storage silo for storing immature bitter oranges, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The system includes a storage body 1, with a storage cover 2 installed on top. Multiple shelves 3 are arranged in an array inside the storage body 1, each shelf 3 having multiple vertically spaced loading layers 4. Each loading layer 4 has multiple pallets 5 for storing dried oranges. Multiple ventilation openings are provided on both side walls of the storage body 1, and covers 11 are installed at these openings. Storage doors 12 are also installed on the side walls of the storage body 1.
[0020] In this embodiment, the staff opens the storage door 12 and places the bagged immature bitter oranges one by one on each pallet 5, which prevents ground moisture from directly entering the woven bags. In addition, the staff can open the cover 11 on sunny days to allow ventilation inside the storage chamber 1, enabling effective air circulation between the bags of immature bitter oranges; on rainy days, the cover 11 is closed to prevent rainwater from directly passing through the ventilation openings and falling into the storage chamber 1, which has the advantage of improving the preservation effect of immature bitter oranges.
[0021] Furthermore, a detection device 6 for detecting the humidity inside the warehouse 1 is installed on the shelf 3. Multiple electric heating tubes 7 for heating and dehumidification are arranged vertically on the shelf 3, and the number of electric heating tubes 7 corresponds one-to-one with the number of cargo layers 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the detection device 6 uses a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is functionally connected to a controller, which is also functionally connected to each heating element 7. The controller can be a computer control system. When the humidity sensor detects that the ambient humidity around the shelf 3 exceeds the humidity value required for storing the bitter orange, the controller controls each heating element 7 to heat and evaporate the moisture in the air around the shelf 3, further improving the moisture-proof effect on the bitter orange.
[0023] To accelerate the airflow within the chamber 1, ventilation fans 8 are installed at the ventilation openings.
[0024] To prevent rodents and insects from entering the interior of the storage chamber 1 through the ventilation openings, insect-proof netting 9 is installed on the inner wall of the storage chamber 1 at the ventilation openings.
[0025] To prevent small insects from crawling onto the cargo layer 4, a mounting slot 10 for storing insect repellent is bolted to one side of the cargo layer 4. The insect repellent can further enhance the insect-repellent effect on the trifoliate orange.
[0026] Because shelf 3 is relatively high, a transport device 20 for transporting pallets 5 one by one is installed on shelf 3 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the bitter oranges and pallets 5 on the upper loading layer 4 by workers. (Refer to...) Figure 4The transport device 20 includes forks 201. A first mounting plate 202 is vertically slidably mounted on one side of the rack 3. A second mounting plate 203 is slidably mounted on the first mounting plate 202 along the length of the cargo layer 4. The forks 201 are slidably mounted on the second mounting plate 203 along the width of the cargo layer 4. A notch is provided on the pallet 5 for inserting the forks 201. A first driving member 30 is provided on the rack 3 to drive the first mounting plate 202 to move. A second driving member 40 is provided on the first mounting plate 202 to drive the second mounting plate 203 to move. A third driving member 50 is provided on the second mounting plate 203 to drive the forks 201 to move.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 30, the second drive unit 40, and the third drive unit 50 all adopt a lead screw linear drive module. By cooperating and moving the first mounting plate 202, the second mounting plate 203, and the forks 201, the pallets 5 and the citrus fruits on the upper cargo layer 4 can be loaded and unloaded, which improves the convenience of loading and unloading citrus fruits.
[0028] The implementation principle of a moisture-proof and ventilated storage silo for Citrus aurantium in this application embodiment is as follows: Workers place the bagged Citrus aurantiums one bag at a time on each pallet 5, preventing ground moisture from directly entering the woven bags. In addition, workers can open the cover 11 on sunny days to allow ventilation inside the silo 1, enabling effective air circulation between the bags of Citrus aurantiums; on rainy days, the cover 11 is closed to prevent rainwater from directly passing through the ventilation openings and falling into the silo 1, thus improving the preservation effect of Citrus aurantiums.
