Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour storage technology, and in particular to a wheat flour storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Flour is a powdery substance made from wheat. Based on the amount of protein in flour, it can be divided into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, and gluten-free flour. There are many kinds of food made from flour, with a wide variety of styles and flavors.
[0003] To reduce the risk of moisture absorption and clumping, as well as mold growth and pest infestation caused by microbial contamination, most wheat flour is stored in vertical storage containers. While some of these containers offer moisture protection, the process of discharging wheat flour into the containers typically involves opening the discharge chute directly. However, the vertical storage creates compression, which can lead to chute blockage and uneven flour discharge when flour is discharged statically. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to solve the problems raised in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wheat flour storage device, comprising a storage cylinder, a guide rod slidably mounted on the inner side of the storage cylinder, an extension rod fixedly mounted on the surface of the guide rod, an auxiliary ball fixedly mounted on the end of the extension rod away from the guide rod, a guide ring rotatably mounted on the inner side of the storage cylinder, a guide groove formed on the inner side of the guide ring, the surface of the auxiliary ball slidably mounted on the inner wall of the guide groove, a motor body fixedly mounted on the surface of the storage cylinder, a gear fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor body, and the surface of the gear meshing with the surface of the guide ring.
[0006] Preferably, a guide block is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide rod, and both the guide rod and the guide block are pointed in shape.
[0007] Preferably, the guide groove is curved.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the storage cylinder is provided with a material inlet groove, and the inner side of the storage cylinder is inclined.
[0009] Preferably, a support base is fixedly installed below the storage cylinder, a groove is provided on the inner side of the support base, an auxiliary seat is slidably installed on the inner wall of the groove, and a moving wheel is provided on the surface of the support base.
[0010] Preferably, a blocking plate is rotatably mounted on the surface of the storage cylinder, and a limit post is slidably mounted on the inner side of the blocking plate. The blocking plate is located below the feeding port groove of the storage cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, an elastic component is slidably sleeved on the surface of the limiting post, and the two ends of the elastic component are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the limiting post and the inner side of the blocking plate. A first limiting groove is opened on the inner side of the storage cylinder, and the surface of the limiting post is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first limiting groove.
[0012] Preferably, a second limiting groove is provided on the surface of the storage cylinder, and two sets of limiting support rods are fixedly installed on the surface of the storage cylinder, with the blocking plate located on the opposite side of the two sets of limiting support rods.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) In this wheat flour storage device, the guide ring rotates inside the storage cylinder, and the guide ring adjusts the position of the auxiliary ball through the guide groove in the internal curved state. Then, the auxiliary ball drives the guide rod on the extension rod to have a certain undulation effect on the wheat flour inside the storage cylinder. The guide rod can increase the undulation area of the wheat flour through its own pointed guide block. At this time, it ensures that the wheat flour has a good undulation effect when it is discharged inside the storage cylinder. Therefore, it reduces the disadvantage of the traditional storage cylinder that can only discharge wheat flour statically. It improves the good guiding effect of wheat flour when it is discharged inside the storage cylinder, reduces the disadvantage of the wheat flour clumping and blockage caused by long storage time inside the storage cylinder, and ensures the smooth discharge of wheat flour inside the storage cylinder.

[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, terms such as greater than, less than, and exceeding are understood to exclude the stated number, while terms such as above, below, and within are understood to include the stated number. The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wheat flour storage device, including a storage cylinder 1, a material inlet groove 2 on the surface of the storage cylinder 1, and an inclined shape on the inner side of the storage cylinder 1. The inclined shape of the inner side of the storage cylinder 1 can guide the wheat flour inside the storage cylinder 1 to discharge through the material inlet groove 2 of the storage cylinder 1.
[0028] Furthermore, a blocking plate 3 is rotatably installed on the surface of the storage cylinder 1, a limiting post 4 is slidably installed on the inner side of the blocking plate 3, an elastic component 5 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the limiting post 4, and the two ends of the elastic component 5 are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the limiting post 4 and the inner side of the blocking plate 3. A first limiting groove 6 is opened on the inner side of the storage cylinder 1, the surface of the limiting post 4 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first limiting groove 6, a second limiting groove 7 is opened on the surface of the storage cylinder 1, two sets of limiting support rods 8 are fixedly installed on the surface of the storage cylinder 1, the blocking plate 3 is located on the opposite side of the two sets of limiting support rods 8, and the blocking plate 3 is located below the feed inlet groove 2 of the storage cylinder 1.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the wheat flour stored inside the storage cylinder 1, the operator only needs to control the limiting post 4 to slide out of the inner wall of the first limiting groove 6. At this time, the operator controls the blocking plate 3 to rotate on the surface of the storage cylinder 1. At this time, the limiting post 4 reaches the second limiting groove 7. Then, the limiting post 4 is pushed into the inner wall of the second limiting groove 7 by the elasticity of the compressed elastic component 5. Then, when the blocking plate 3 no longer blocks the feed inlet groove 2, the wheat flour can be discharged from the feed inlet groove 2 of the storage cylinder 1. The function of the limiting support rod 8 is to limit the movement range of the blocking plate 3 to ensure the effect of the adjustment movement of the blocking plate 3.
[0030] Furthermore, a support base 9 is fixedly installed below the storage cylinder 1. A groove 10 is provided on the inner side of the support base 9. An auxiliary seat 11 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the groove 10. A movable wheel 12 is provided on the surface of the support base 9. By providing the movable wheel 12 on the support base 9 below the storage cylinder 1, the storage cylinder 1 can be effectively moved when storing or discharging wheat flour, so as to ensure the convenience of using the storage cylinder 1. The auxiliary seat 11 is used to limit the placement of the relevant discharged materials and to collect the generated residual materials for subsequent cleaning.
[0031] Furthermore, a guide rod 13 is slidably installed on the inner side of the storage cylinder 1, and a guide block 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide rod 13. Both the guide rod 13 and the guide block 14 are pointed in shape. An extension rod 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the guide rod 13. An auxiliary ball 16 is fixedly installed at the end of the extension rod 15 away from the guide rod 13. A guide ring 17 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the storage cylinder 1. A guide groove 18 is opened on the inner side of the guide ring 17. The guide groove 18 is curved in shape. The surface of the auxiliary ball 16 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the guide groove 18. A motor body 19 is fixedly installed on the surface of the storage cylinder 1. A gear 20 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor body 19. The surface of the gear 20 is meshed on the surface of the guide ring 17.
[0032] Specifically, when discharging wheat flour from the storage cylinder 1, the motor body 19 operates, driving the gear 20 to rotate. The gear 20 then drives the guide ring 17 to rotate synchronously, causing the guide ring 17 to rotate inside the storage cylinder 1. The guide ring 17 adjusts the position of the auxiliary ball 16 via the internal curved guide groove 18. The auxiliary ball 16 then drives the guide rod 13 on the extension rod 15 to create a certain undulating effect on the wheat flour inside the storage cylinder 1. Furthermore, the guide rod 13... The pointed guide block 14 can increase the area of wheat flour fluctuation, thus ensuring good fluctuation effect when wheat flour is discharged into the storage cylinder 1. This reduces the disadvantage of traditional storage cylinder 1, which can only discharge wheat flour statically. It also improves the guiding effect of wheat flour in the storage cylinder 1 and reduces the disadvantage of wheat flour clumping and blockage caused by long storage time in the storage cylinder 1, thus ensuring the smooth discharge of wheat flour in the storage cylinder 1.
[0033] Working principle: A wheat flour storage device, when discharging wheat flour from inside the storage cylinder 1, the motor body 19 works, thereby driving the gear 20 to rotate. At this time, the gear 20 drives the guide ring 17 to rotate synchronously, and the guide ring 17 rotates inside the storage cylinder 1. The guide ring 17 adjusts the position of the auxiliary ball 16 through the guide groove 18 with the internal curve state, and the auxiliary ball 16 drives the guide rod 13 on the extension rod 15 to discharge wheat flour in a fluctuating manner inside the storage cylinder 1.
[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model 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 utility model.
