Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of masterbatch storage ventilation technology, specifically a masterbatch storage silo with a ventilation mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Color masterbatch refers to a plastic colorant made by dispersing a high proportion of pigments or additives with thermoplastic resin. The resin used has good wetting and dispersing effects on the colorant and good compatibility with the material being colored. After processing, color masterbatch needs to be stored in a storage device. During storage, moisture protection is a necessary means to effectively protect the form and function of the color masterbatch.
[0003] However, in the existing storage devices, due to the accumulation of space inside the tank, humid and hot gas will be generated inside the tank after a period of storage. Humid and hot gas can easily affect the storage of color masterbatch and is not conducive to the storage of color masterbatch. Therefore, a color masterbatch storage silo with a ventilation mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution, including a storage silo 1. Two feed pipes 2 are provided at the top of the storage silo 1. A cover 3 is slidably provided at the top of the feed pipes 2. A ventilation mechanism 4 is connected between the two feed pipes 2 at the top of the storage silo 1. A discharge section 5 is connected to the bottom of the storage silo 1. An air storage box 6 is connected to the bottom of the discharge section 5. A discharge pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the air storage box 6. A pad 8 is connected at the connection between the discharge section 5 and the air storage box 6. One end of the discharge pipe 7 extends into the air storage box 6 and passes through the bottom of the pad 8. Multiple ventilation holes 9 are opened in the part of the discharge pipe 7 inside the air storage box 6 and on the surface of the pad 8. A partition plate 10 is connected inside the storage silo 1. One end of the partition plate 10 extends into the discharge pipe 7. A support frame 19 is connected to one side of the air storage box 6. A fan 20 is connected to the top of the support frame 19. The output end of the fan 20 extends into the air storage box 6.
[0023] The ventilation mechanism 4 includes a ventilation pipe 41 connected to the top of the storage silo 1. An exhaust fan 42 and a filter plate 43 are respectively connected inside the ventilation pipe 41. A funnel-shaped pipe 44 is connected to the top of the ventilation pipe 41. Four support rods 45 are connected to the top of the funnel-shaped pipe 44. A conical top 46 is connected to the top of the support rods 45. An electric actuator 47 is connected to the bottom of the conical top 46 at the central axis. A stopper plate 48 is connected to the output end of the electric actuator 47. The diameter of the stopper plate 48 is the same as the diameter of the bottom of the funnel-shaped pipe 44. Its function is to...
[0024] The partition plate 10 divides the storage silo 1, the feeding section 5, the air storage box 6, and the feeding pipe 7 into two cavities. A gap is left between one end of the partition plate 10 and the top of the storage silo 1. Its function is to allow the exhaust fan 42 to actively draw in or blow in air, significantly accelerating the air exchange inside and outside the storage silo, quickly reducing the humidity inside the silo, and preventing the material from becoming moldy, deteriorating, or clumping due to dampness. The filter plate 43 can effectively filter particulate matter such as dust, insects, pollen, and microorganisms in the air, preventing them from entering the storage silo and contaminating the material, thus ensuring the quality of the material. The pointed structure of the conical top 46 can guide rainwater to disperse in all directions, preventing rainwater from accumulating at the top of the ventilation mechanism. The funnel-shaped pipe 44 and the conical top 46 cooperate to form a rainwater guiding channel, ensuring that rainwater is discharged smoothly and preventing backflow into the storage silo.
[0025] A pull-out baffle 11 is slidably installed on one side of the bottom of the air storage box 6. A through hole 12 is opened on one side of the top of the pull-out baffle 11. One end of the pull-out baffle 11 passes through the air storage box 6 and extends into the inside of the feed pipe 7, and abuts against one side of the partition plate 10. Two sets of pull-out baffles 11 are provided, located on both sides of the air storage box 6 respectively. Their function is to set physical limit blocks on the sliding track of the baffle to ensure that the baffles on both sides cannot be in a half-open state at the same time, so as to prevent material from flowing out.
[0026] Multiple placement boxes 13 are connected to both sides of the inner wall of the storage chamber 1. Multiple seepage holes 14 are opened on the surface of the placement boxes 13. A desiccant 15 is connected inside the placement boxes 13. The purpose of this is to distribute multiple sets of placement boxes 13 evenly along the inner wall of the storage chamber 1 to form a three-dimensional moisture absorption network, eliminate the "edge effect" of traditional single-point dehumidification, and ensure the uniformity of humidity inside the chamber.
[0027] A support plate 16 is connected to the outer surface of the storage hopper 1, and four support columns 17 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 16, which serve to provide support for the entire equipment.
[0028] A scale plate 18 is connected to one side of the storage silo 1. Its function is to allow operators to directly observe the remaining material in the storage silo and replenish it in a timely manner.
[0029] Working principle: The operator feeds the masterbatch into the storage silo 1 through the feed pipe 2. After feeding, the cap 3 at the top of the feed pipe can be opened and closed to prevent dust and seal the silo. The ventilation mechanism 4 is responsible for regulating the internal environment of the storage silo. The exhaust fan 42 in the ventilation pipe 41 can extract air from the storage silo to maintain internal ventilation and prevent the masterbatch from getting damp or producing odors. The filter plate 43 can prevent external debris from entering the storage silo 1. The funnel-shaped pipe 44 and the support rod 45 support the conical top 46. The electric push rod 47 can push the stop plate 48 to control the opening and closing of the funnel-shaped pipe, thereby regulating the ventilation volume. When feeding is required, the pull-out baffle 11 at the bottom of the air storage box 6 is pulled out, the feeding pipe 7 is opened, and the masterbatch flows from the storage silo 1 into the air storage box 6 through the feeding part 5, and then flows out from the feeding pipe 7. The air generated by the blower 20 is evenly distributed into the discharge pipe through the ventilation holes 9 on the air storage box 6 and the discharge pipe 7. With the help of the exhaust fan 42, the air circulation in the storage silo 1 is further ensured. The partition plate 10 divides the storage silo, the discharge section, the air storage box and the discharge pipe into two cavities, so that the storage silo 1 can store two different colors of masterbatch. There is a gap between one end of the partition plate 10 and the top of the storage silo 1, so that the air in the storage silo 1 can circulate more. The placement boxes 13 on both sides of the inner wall of the storage silo 1 are filled with desiccant 15, which absorbs the moisture in the storage silo through the seepage holes 14 to keep the masterbatch dry. The support plate 16 and the support column 17 support the entire device to ensure stability. The scale plate 18 on one side of the storage silo makes it easy to observe the amount of masterbatch in the storage silo.
