Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of storage devices, and in particular to a storage device for ornamental fish feed ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] Ornamental fish food contains a variety of ingredients, including protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, and functional ingredients. These ingredients require airtight, moisture-proof storage to prevent spoilage. Currently, fish food ingredients are typically stored by simply stacking the bagged ingredients. The bags usually have waterproof linings, providing good protection. However, this stacking method becomes difficult when there are many different types of ingredients, making it hard to find the desired one. Furthermore, ingredients placed at the outer edges of the stack are usually used first, while those placed further back are inconvenient to access, and some may even expire unused. The bags themselves are also not always intact and are easily damaged during transport, further contributing to the food's expiration. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0022] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ornamental fish feed raw material storage device includes a storage tank 1, a feeding device 2 located at the bottom of the storage tank 1, and a dehumidification device 3 located at the top of the storage tank 1. The top of the storage tank 1 has two openings. One of the openings is equipped with a sealing cover 5, which can be used to add feed into the storage tank 1 after opening the sealing cover 5. The dehumidification device 3 is fixedly installed in the other opening, and raw materials can be added into the storage tank 1 through the opening after opening the sealing cover 5. The raw materials added into the storage tank 1 are released through the feeding device 2 for use, so as to achieve first-in, first-out storage and effectively prevent the raw materials from expiring.

[0023] In this embodiment, the dehumidification device 3 includes a cover plate 301, a rotating motor 302, a fan wheel 303, a housing 304, and a water-absorbing sleeve 305. The housing 304 is located inside the storage tank 1 and has an air outlet 304a and an air inlet 304b. The air outlet 304a and the air inlet 304b are separated by the water-absorbing sleeve 305. The body of the rotating motor 302 is fixed to the cover plate 301, and the motor shaft of the rotating motor 302 is fixed to the fan wheel 303. When the impeller 303 rotates, it draws in humid air from the storage tank 1 through the air inlet 304b, passes through the water-absorbing sleeve 305, and then discharges it into the storage tank 1 through the cover 304, thereby keeping the air inside the storage tank 1 dry and ensuring that the raw materials in the storage tank 1 are not damp. Every time raw materials are added to the storage tank 1, outside air will enter the storage tank 1. The outside air may be relatively humid. Therefore, every time the sealing cover 5 is opened, the dehumidification device 3 can be used to dehumidify the inside of the storage tank 1 to ensure that the inside of the storage tank 1 is dry and that the raw materials can be stored for a longer period of time.

[0024] Advantageously, the cover 304 is provided with external threads, and the opening for installing the dehumidifier 3 is provided with internal threads. The dehumidifier 3 is fixed to the storage tank 1 by the external threads on the cover 304 and the internal threads at the opening, so as to realize the detachability of the dehumidifier 3 and facilitate the periodic replacement of the water absorption sleeve 305. At the same time, a sealing ring is also fixed on the cover 301, which is used to keep the contact area between the cover 301 and the storage tank 1 sealed.

[0025] In this embodiment, the impeller 303 includes an annular sealing plate 303a and blades 303b. The annular sealing plate 303a has a circular hole at its center, which is aligned with the air inlet 304b. Multiple blades 303b are evenly distributed around the annular sealing plate 303a. When the impeller 303 rotates, the blades 303b draw air from the center of the impeller 303 to the outside of the impeller 303. A sealing filling layer 306 is also provided between the annular sealing plate 303a and the cover 304. The sealing filling layer 306 can maintain a sealing effect between the annular sealing plate 303a and the cover 304.

[0026] In this embodiment, the feeding device 2 includes a feeding pipe 201, a feeding screw 202, and a feeding motor 8. The body of the feeding motor 8 is fixed inside the storage tank 1 by multiple support plates. The feeding screw 202 is fixed on the motor shaft of the feeding motor 8 and rotates inside the feeding pipe 201. The bottom of the storage tank 1 is funnel-shaped. The upper end of the feeding pipe 201 is fixed to the storage tank 1 and is also connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. The lower end of the feeding pipe 201 is fixed to one end of the discharge pipe 6 and is connected inside the discharge pipe 6. The other end of the discharge pipe 6 is also provided with a sealing gate 7. After the feeding is completed, the bottom of the storage tank 1 is sealed by the sealing gate 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the raw materials at the bottom of the storage tank 1 may be subjected to long-term pressure, especially powder raw materials which are prone to caking. To solve this problem, a vibration loosening mechanism is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1. The vibration loosening mechanism includes a vibrating rod 9, a driving gear 10, a driven gear 11, and a gear cover 12. The gear cover 12 is fixed to the body of the feeding motor 8. The driving gear 10 and the driven gear 11 are located inside the gear cover 12. The driving gear 10 is fixed to the motor shaft of the feeding motor 8. One end of the vibrating rod 9 is inserted into the gear cover 12. The driven gear 11 is rotatably connected to the gear cover 12, and the driven gear 11 meshes with the driving gear 10. The driven gear 11 also contacts the vibrating rod 9 that extends into the gear cover 12. The driving gear 10 can be driven to rotate by the feeding motor 8, and the driving gear 10 can then achieve accelerated rotation through the driven gear 11. When the driven gear 11 rotates, the teeth on it continuously strike the vibrating rod 9. The remaining part of the vibrating rod 9 extends into the storage tank 1. The vibrating rod 9 can loosen the hardened raw material at the bottom of the storage tank 1, thereby ensuring that the raw material can smoothly enter the feeding screw 202.

[0028] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
