Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain storage technology, and in particular to an air conditioning condensate atomization and moisture retention device. Background Technology

[0002] With the sustained and healthy development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, people's demand for commodity grain is shifting from basic needs to quality, placing increasingly higher demands on the taste and texture of grain. To ensure grain safety during the summer, grain is typically stored using specialized grain warehouse air conditioning to control temperature and delay quality deterioration and pest development. However, this method has the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Because air conditioners produce dry and cold air when they are working, reducing the humidity inside the warehouse, prolonged use will cause serious moisture loss from the surface grains. They can only provide an auxiliary effect for deep grain warehouses, and the cooling effect is poor, resulting in increased moisture loss when the grains are taken out of the warehouse.

[0004] 2. During ventilation, on the one hand, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the storage bin can easily cause the high temperature outside to flow into the bin, resulting in condensation on the surface of the grain pile; on the other hand, the fan blows air into the grain pile, resulting in poor ventilation and heat dissipation in the deeper layers of the grain pile, and the surface of the grain pile loses much more moisture than the deeper layers, which can easily lead to a significant difference in quality between the surface and deeper layers of the grain pile.

[0005] Therefore, designing an air conditioning condensate atomization and moisture retention device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems is a technical issue that needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioning condensate atomization and moisture retention device to minimize moisture loss from grain piles and ensure effective cooling and ventilation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: It includes a storage body, a water spray device disposed within the storage body, and several first ventilation devices and second ventilation devices disposed outside the storage body; a support plate is horizontally arranged in the lower part of the storage body, dividing the space inside the storage body into an upper storage cavity for storing grain and a lower water storage cavity for storing water; several through holes are arranged in a matrix on the support plate, and a support grid plate is embedded in each through hole; filter cotton matching the shape and size of the support grid plate is laid on the support grid plate; the water spray device includes a water tank fixed below several support grids in the lower water storage cavity, a water pump fixed in the water tank, an ultrasonic humidifier fixed at the top of the upper storage cavity, and a condensate pipe embedded in the side wall of the storage body and connecting the water pump and the ultrasonic humidifier; a first air supply channel communicating with the support grid plate is opened between adjacent horizontally arranged through holes in the support plate. A second air supply channel, connected to the supporting grid plate, is provided between two adjacent longitudinally arranged through holes in the support plate. Both ends of several first and second air supply channels extend through the outer wall of the silo. The first ventilation device includes a first centrifugal fan, a first air supply hose, and a first suction hose installed outside the silo. One end of the first air supply hose is connected to the outlet of the first centrifugal fan, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the first air supply channel. One end of the first suction hose is connected to the inlet of the first centrifugal fan, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the first air supply channel. The second ventilation device includes a second centrifugal fan, a second air supply hose, and a second suction hose installed outside the silo. One end of the second air supply hose is connected to the outlet of the second centrifugal fan, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the second air supply channel. One end of the second suction hose is connected to the inlet of the second centrifugal fan, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the second air supply channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the first air supply channel, the second air supply channel, and the inner sidewalls are all covered with an insulation layer made of thermal insulation material.

[0009] Furthermore, an internal circulation structure is also formed between the second centrifugal fan, the second air supply hose, the second air supply channel, the inner chamber of the silo, and the second air suction hose.

[0010] Furthermore, the silo is equipped with multiple first ventilation devices and second ventilation devices corresponding to the number of first air supply channels and second air supply channels.

[0011] Furthermore, the first air supply channel and the second air supply channel are arranged alternately vertically.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide plate for guiding the flow is fixed between the water storage tank and the support plate, and the guide plate is inclined from the side wall of the tank towards the center of the tank.

[0013] Furthermore, several first air supply channels are connected to the supporting grid plates on both sides by several first air supply channels.

[0014] Furthermore, several second air supply channels are connected to the supporting grid plates on both sides by several second air supply channels.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, a first air supply channel and a second air supply channel are staggered between two adjacent horizontally arranged and two adjacent vertically arranged support grid plates within the support grid. Compared with ordinary fan blowing and window ventilation, the first centrifugal fan and the second centrifugal fan generate a larger air volume that passes through the first air supply channel and the second air supply channel within the support plate at the bottom of the grain. On the one hand, this drives the airflow within the silo, and on the other hand, the air exiting from the bottom of the grain improves the ventilation and cooling effect on the deep grain.

[0017] 2. This utility model is equipped with a supporting grid plate and filter cotton laid on the supporting grid plate. When humidifying, the ultrasonic humidifier sprays condensed water mist towards the grain pile. Some of the water mist adheres to the surface of the grain, and some of the water mist drips through the filter cotton and the supporting grid plate and is collected into the water storage tank for easy pumping and recycling. At the same time, when the first ventilation device and the second ventilation device are working, the air flow reduces the heat on the surface of the grain and carries away some of the condensed water adhering to the surface of the grain, preventing a large amount of moisture loss from the surface of the grain.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0027] See Figure 1-3 As shown, the scheme includes a storage body 1, a water spraying device 2 installed inside the storage body 1, and several first ventilation devices 3 and second ventilation devices 4 installed outside the storage body 1; a support plate 11 is horizontally installed in the lower part of the storage body 1, and the support plate 11 divides the space inside the storage body 1 into an upper storage cavity 12 for storing grain and a lower water storage cavity 13 for storing water.

[0028] The support plate 11 has a plurality of through holes 14 arranged in a matrix, and a support grid plate 15 is embedded in the through holes 14. The support grid plate 15 is covered with filter cotton 16 that matches the shape and size of the support grid plate 15. The water spraying device 2 includes a water tank 21 fixed below a plurality of support grids in the lower water storage cavity 13, a water pump 22 fixed in the water tank 21, an ultrasonic humidifier 23 fixed at the top of the upper storage cavity 12, and a condensate pipe 24 embedded in the side wall of the chamber 1 and connecting the water pump 22 and the ultrasonic humidifier 23.

[0029] A first air supply channel 111 communicating with a support grid plate 15 is formed between two adjacent transversely arranged through holes 14 in the support plate 11. A second air supply channel 112 communicating with a support grid plate 15 is formed between two adjacent longitudinally arranged through holes 14 in the support plate 11. Both ends of several first air supply channels 111 and second air supply channels 112 extend through the outer wall of the chamber 1. The first ventilation device 3 includes a first centrifugal fan 31 installed outside the chamber 1, a first air supply hose 32, and a first air suction hose 33. One end of the first air supply hose 32 is connected to the air outlet of the first centrifugal fan 31, and the other end... The first air supply duct 33 is connected to the air inlet of the first air supply channel 111 at one end; the second air suction duct 33 is connected to the air inlet of the first centrifugal fan 31 at one end and to the air outlet of the first air supply channel 111 at the other end; the second ventilation device 4 includes a second centrifugal fan 41, a second air supply duct 42 and a second air suction duct 43 located outside the chamber 1; the second air supply duct 42 is connected to the air outlet of the second centrifugal fan 41 at one end and to the air inlet of the second air supply channel 112 at the other end; the second air suction duct 43 is connected to the air inlet of the second centrifugal fan 41 at one end and to the air outlet of the second air supply channel 112 at the other end.

[0030] Furthermore, the first air supply channel 111, the second air supply channel 112, and the inner sidewalls are all covered with an insulation layer made of heat-insulating material. After heat insulation treatment, the loss of cold source in the silo 1 is effectively reduced, and the temperature of the circulating gas and the temperature of the grain pile are kept close to each other, avoiding the formation of water condensation on the surface of the grain pile due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside.

[0031] Furthermore, an internal circulation structure is formed between the first centrifugal fan 31, the first air supply hose 32, the first air supply channel 111, the inner chamber of the chamber 1, and the first suction hose 33. Furthermore, an internal circulation structure is also formed between the second centrifugal fan 41, the second air supply hose 42, the second air supply channel 112, the inner chamber of the chamber 1, and the second suction hose 43. This allows the airflow to flow in a relatively enclosed space, preventing moisture loss.

[0032] Furthermore, the chamber 1 is provided with a plurality of first ventilation devices 3 and second ventilation devices 4 corresponding to the number of first air supply channels 111 and second air supply channels 112.

[0033] A guide plate 17 for guiding flow is also fixed between the water storage tank 21 and the support plate 11. The guide plate 17 is inclined from the side wall of the tank body 1 towards the center of the tank body 1. The guide plate 17 has the function of blocking the water storage tank 21, which facilitates the flow of condensate.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of first air supply channels 111 are connected to the supporting grid plates 15 on both sides by a plurality of first air supply branches 1111. Furthermore, a plurality of second air supply channels 112 are connected to the supporting grid plates 15 on both sides by a plurality of second air supply branches 1121.

[0035] The working principle is roughly as follows:

[0036] The silo body 1 is laid flat on the filter cotton 16 above the supporting grid plate 15. When humidification is needed, the ultrasonic humidifier 23 is controlled by outputting a corresponding control signal to spray atomized condensate into the silo body 1 below. The condensate adheres to the surface of the grain. At this time, the first centrifugal fan 31 and the second centrifugal fan 41 work. The air flows through the first centrifugal fan 31 (second centrifugal fan 41), the first air supply hose 32 (second air supply hose 42), the first air supply channel 111 (second air supply channel 112), the inner chamber of the silo body 1, and the first suction hose 33 (second suction hose 43) before returning to the centrifugal fan. During the circulation process in the inner chamber of the silo body 1, the condensate on the surface of the grain is carried away by the supporting grid plate 15, which reduces the surface temperature of the heated grain and accelerates the ventilation and cooling effect. On the other hand, the condensate droplets adhering to the surface of the grain fall downward through the filter cotton 16 and the supporting grid plate 15 and fall back into the water storage tank 21, and the condensate is recycled.

[0037] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
