Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour storage technology, specifically a moisture-proof storage device for flour production. Background Technology
[0002] In the flour production industry, flour storage has always been a critical step. Flour is highly hygroscopic, and if it is affected by moisture during storage, it is prone to clumping, spoilage, and other problems, which will not only affect the quality and performance of the flour, but also cause economic losses.
[0003] Currently, common flour storage equipment on the market has certain shortcomings in terms of moisture-proof performance. Although some storage equipment has a simple sealing structure, it is difficult to effectively prevent the intrusion of external moisture. Especially during frequent flour retrieval, outside air can easily bring in moisture, causing the flour to become damp. At the same time, the existing storage equipment also needs to be improved in terms of the convenience of flour retrieval. When flour is piled too deep in the storage equipment, it is difficult to retrieve, which affects the efficiency of use.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a moisture-proof storage device for flour production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a moisture-proof storage device for flour production, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moisture-proof storage device for flour production, comprising a storage box, a box cover hinged to the top of the storage box, an adjustment component inside the storage box, moisture-proof components on the upper and lower sides of the box cover, the adjustment component comprising a screw rod threaded through the bottom wall of the storage box, an adjustment plate rotatably connected to the top of the screw rod, and a sealing ring fixedly installed on the outer side of the adjustment plate, the outer wall of the sealing ring being in contact with the inner wall of the storage box.
[0007] Preferably, a knob is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screw, and the knob is located below the storage box.

[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides a moisture-proof storage device for flour production. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This moisture-proof storage device for flour production has an adjustable component. When flour needs to be taken out, turning the knob drives the screw to rotate, which raises or lowers the adjusting plate. Raising the adjusting plate allows the flour to be closer to the opening of the storage box under the action of gravity, reducing the difficulty of taking out the flour and enabling users to take out the flour quickly and conveniently, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of flour use.
[0015] 2. This moisture-proof storage equipment for flour production features a motor-driven rotating disc in its moisture-proof components. This allows the bagged desiccant inside the mesh cylinder to come into more even and thorough contact with the air inside the storage box, absorbing moisture. The sealing gasket at the bottom of the box lid fits snugly against the top wall of the storage box and is then tightly connected by snaps, forming multiple seals that further prevent external moisture from entering. This ensures a dry storage environment for the flour, preventing it from clumping or spoiling due to moisture and guaranteeing its quality. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a moisture-proof storage device for flour production, including a storage box 1. The top of the storage box 1 is hinged with a box cover 4. An adjustment component 2 is provided inside the storage box 1. Moisture-proof components 3 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the box cover 4. The adjustment component 2 includes a screw 21, which is screwed through the bottom wall of the storage box 1. An adjustment plate 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the screw 21. A sealing ring 24 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the adjustment plate 23. The outer wall of the sealing ring 24 is in contact with the inner wall of the storage box 1.
[0025] A knob 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screw 21, and the knob 22 is located below the storage box 1. A limit rod 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate 23, and the limit rod 25 moves through the bottom wall of the storage box 1. A sealing gasket 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box cover 4, and the bottom of the sealing gasket 6 is attached to the top wall of the storage box 1. A buckle 5 is provided between the storage box 1 and the box cover 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, the screw 21 is screwed through the bottom wall of the storage box 1. When it is necessary to adjust the amount of flour stored or to take out flour, the knob 22 located below the storage box 1 is rotated. The knob 22 drives the screw 21 to rotate. Due to the screw connection between the screw 21 and the storage box 1, the screw 21 moves up and down during rotation, thereby driving the adjusting plate 23 connected to the top to rise and fall synchronously. When it is necessary to take out flour, the adjusting plate 23 can be raised so that the flour is closer to the opening of the storage box 1 under the action of gravity, reducing the difficulty of taking out flour and making it convenient for users to take out flour quickly and easily. The sealing ring 24 fixedly installed on the outside of the adjusting plate 23 always fits the inner wall of the storage box 1 to ensure the sealing of the inside of the storage box 1 during the adjustment process and prevent flour leakage or external moisture from entering.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, the moisture-proof component 3 includes a rotating disk 34 located below the lid 4. A mesh tube 36 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating disk 34, and a rubber stopper 37 is inserted into the outer end of the mesh tube 36. The mesh tube 36 contains a bagged desiccant. A bracket 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the lid 4, and a motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 31. The output end of the motor 33 extends through the interior of the bracket 31. A magnetic coupler 32 is fixedly installed inside the lid 4. A rotating shaft 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating disk 34, and power is transmitted between the output end of the motor 33 and the rotating shaft 35 through the magnetic coupler 32.
[0028] In this embodiment, after each flour extraction, dehumidification and moisture prevention can be further achieved through the moisture-proof component 3. Below the lid 4, the motor 33, fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 31, is activated. The output of the motor 33 transmits power to the rotating shaft 35 on the top of the rotating disk 34 via a magnetic coupler 32, causing the motor 33 to rotate at a low speed. This causes the rotating disk 34 to rotate slowly, and the outer mesh cylinder 36 rotates slowly accordingly. During this slow rotation, the bagged desiccant inside the mesh cylinder 36 can more evenly and fully contact the air inside the storage box 1, effectively absorbing moisture. To prevent moisture from entering the storage box 1 during flour removal, the moisture content is further reduced, ensuring a dry storage environment for the flour. When the bagged desiccant becomes ineffective and needs to be replaced, simply pull out the rubber stopper 37 on the outer end of the mesh cylinder 36 to easily remove and replace the desiccant. In addition, the moisture-proof component 3 on the top of the box cover 4 further prevents external moisture from entering. The sealing gasket 6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the box cover 4 fits against the top wall of the storage box 1. The buckle 5 between the storage box 1 and the box cover 4 tightly connects the two, forming a multi-layer sealing structure, further enhancing the moisture-proof performance of the equipment.
[0029] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0030] Working principle: The screw 21 is screwed through the bottom wall of the storage box 1. When it is necessary to adjust the amount of flour stored or to take out flour, turn the knob 22 located below the storage box 1. The knob 22 drives the screw 21 to rotate. Due to the screw connection between the screw 21 and the storage box 1, the screw 21 moves up and down during rotation, which in turn drives the adjusting plate 23 connected to the top to rise and fall synchronously. When it is necessary to take out flour, the adjusting plate 23 can be raised so that the flour is closer to the opening of the storage box 1 under the action of gravity, reducing the difficulty of taking out flour and making it convenient for users to take out flour quickly and easily. The sealing ring 24 fixedly installed on the outside of the adjusting plate 23 always fits the inner wall of the storage box 1 to ensure the sealing of the inside of the storage box 1 during the adjustment process and prevent flour leakage or external moisture from entering. After each flour is taken out, dehumidification and moisture prevention can be further achieved through the moisture-proof component 3. Under the box cover 4, the motor fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 31 is started. 33. The output end of motor 33 transmits power to the rotating shaft 35 on the top of rotating disk 34 through magnetic coupler 32, causing motor 33 to rotate at low speed, making rotating disk 34 rotate slowly. The mesh cylinder 36 on its outer side rotates slowly accordingly. During the slow rotation, the bagged desiccant inside the mesh cylinder 36 can come into more even and sufficient contact with the air in storage box 1, effectively absorbing the moisture that enters storage box 1 due to powder removal operations, further ensuring the dryness of the flour storage environment. When the bagged desiccant becomes ineffective and needs to be replaced, simply pull out the rubber plug 37 on the outer end of mesh cylinder 36 to easily remove and replace the desiccant. In addition, the moisture-proof component 3 on the top of the box cover 4 can further block the entry of external moisture. The sealing gasket 6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the box cover 4 is attached to the top wall of storage box 1. The buckle 5 set between storage box 1 and box cover 4 tightly connects the two, forming a multi-seal structure, further enhancing the moisture-proof performance of the equipment.
