[0002] Currently, various types of storage facilities, including coal bunkers, grain bunkers, cement bunkers, and flour bunkers, commonly face problems of poor material discharge and blockages. Existing air cannon technology is widely used in industry as a clearing device. When material blockages occur, it can emit a high-speed airflow, thereby restoring smooth material flow and ensuring the normal operation of industrial production. The air cannon piston and detonation cylinder, as key components, have their service life directly determined by their materials and physical properties. The pistons used in existing technologies are usually made of rubber, which has poor heat resistance, frequently experiences wear at the ends, and is prone to deformation under high-temperature operating environments, leading to decreased sealing performance, malfunction, and a shorter lifespan.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a kinetic energy storage actuator for preventing blockage of stored materials. The device includes a kinetic energy storage tank 1, a kinetic energy detonation pipe 2, and an upper end cap assembly 4. The kinetic energy storage tank 1 has a first opening and a second opening arranged opposite to each other and includes a closed internal chamber. The upper end cap assembly 4 is rigidly connected to the first opening. The kinetic energy detonation pipe 2 connects the upper end cap assembly 4 to the second opening through the internal chamber. The kinetic energy detonation pipe 2 can pivot relative to both the first and second openings and has a fluid channel inside. The upper end cap assembly 4 is designed to selectively allow gas to flow from the internal chamber into the fluid channel of the kinetic energy detonation pipe 2 and out of the kinetic energy storage tank 1 through the second opening, while selectively preventing gas from flowing from the inside of the kinetic energy storage tank into the fluid channel of the kinetic energy detonation pipe 2. The upper end cap assembly 4 includes a kinetic energy detonation piston 43 wrapped with a polyurethane sealing layer 46.
[0028] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the kinetic energy ejection piston 43 is provided with multiple through holes, and the through holes are filled with polyurethane support columns, such as... Figure 6-7 The orange cylinder shown has its upper end connected to the polyurethane sealing layer 46 on the upper surface of the kinetic energy explosion piston 43, and its lower end connected to the polyurethane sealing layer 46 on the lower surface of the kinetic energy explosion piston 43. The polyurethane support column is used to tightly fix the polyurethane sealing layer 46 to the kinetic energy explosion piston 43.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper end cover assembly also includes an upper end cover, a piston cylinder, and a detonation cylinder body. The upper end cover is mounted on the kinetic energy storage tank by spring washers and bolts. The piston cylinder is located on the lower side of the upper end cover. The kinetic energy detonation piston is slidably disposed in the piston cylinder. A hard seal structure is also provided between the kinetic energy detonation piston and the detonation cylinder body.
[0030] The upper end cover assembly 4 also includes an upper end cover 41, a piston cylinder 42, and a detonation cylinder body 44 (flower basket assembly). The upper end cover 41 is mounted on the kinetic energy storage tank 1 by means of spring pads 5 and bolts 6. The piston cylinder 42 is located on the lower side of the upper end cover 41. The kinetic energy detonation piston 43 is slidably disposed in the piston cylinder 42. A hard seal structure is also provided between the kinetic energy detonation piston 43 and the detonation cylinder body 44. The kinetic energy detonation piston 43 is pressed against the detonation cylinder body 44 by means of springs 45.
[0031] The kinetic energy ejection piston 43 is made of aluminum alloy. The hard-seal structure includes a first inclined surface 47 on the kinetic energy ejection piston 43 and a second inclined surface on the ejection cylinder 44 that mates with the first inclined surface 47. When the kinetic energy ejection piston 43 is pressed against the ejection cylinder 44 by the spring 45, the first inclined surface 47 and the second inclined surface are in rigid contact, such as... Figure 6 As shown in the circle.
[0032] The explosion cylinder 44 is provided with multiple air inlet slots that allow gas to pass through.
[0033] The kinetic energy storage tank 1 and the kinetic energy explosion pipe 2 are sealed together by an O-ring 3.
[0034] The kinetic energy ejection cylinder 1 is equipped with a safety valve 7.
[0035] A sealing ring is provided between the detonation cylinder 44 and the kinetic energy detonation tube 2.
[0036] One or more kinetic energy storage actuators for preventing blockage of stored materials in this invention are installed on the storage bin, and the storage bin is cleared and prevented from blocking by rapidly releasing the high-pressure air inside. The working principle of the kinetic energy storage actuator for preventing blockage of stored materials in this utility model is as follows: The kinetic energy storage tank 1 is connected to a high-pressure air source through an electromagnetic three-way valve (not shown). When compressed air or nitrogen with a pressure of 0.5 to 0.8 MPa enters the kinetic energy storage tank 1 through the air inlet groove on the explosion cylinder 44, the blockage clearing terminal completes the inflation. At this time, the pressure of the tank is equal to the pressure of the pipeline, the airflow is static, the electromagnetic three-way valve switches to the low-pressure port, the kinetic energy storage tank 1 is connected to the low-pressure port, the high-pressure air in the channel between the kinetic energy explosion piston 43 and the electromagnetic three-way valve is quickly released, and at the same time the pressure pressing against the kinetic energy explosion piston 43 is quickly released. The kinetic energy explosion piston 43 is immediately pushed back by the high pressure in the kinetic energy storage tank 1, and then the air is quickly ejected through the kinetic energy explosion pipe 2, thereby completing the release of the high-energy air pressure stored in the kinetic energy storage tank 1, thus completing the one-sided explosion process. This invention features a polyurethane sealing layer wrapped around the kinetic energy ejection piston, which improves sealing performance, increases the stability of the ejection process, and more effectively prevents air loss. The kinetic energy ejection piston is made of aluminum alloy, which improves its service life.
[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
