Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bulk material storage technology, and in particular to a corn starch storage tank that is easy to quantitatively remove. Background Technology
[0002] Corn starch is prone to absorbing moisture and clumping, and its flowability is greatly affected by temperature and humidity. Traditional storage equipment often suffers from problems such as poor sealing leading to moisture return and easy arching and blockage at the discharge point. In order to ensure its storage quality and retrieval efficiency, special corn starch storage tanks have been gradually developed to meet the above needs.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional corn starch storage tanks suffer from material overflow and waste after dispensing due to the reliance on hand-cranked shut-off valves, which have a delayed response. They also rely on external containers, which have large size requirements and cause inconvenience in dispensing.
[0004] Therefore, a corn starch storage tank that facilitates quantitative extraction is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corn starch storage tank that facilitates quantitative dispensing, which can solve the problems of quantitative accuracy and material waste, as well as the problems of container model dependence and operational efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corn starch storage tank for easy quantitative dispensing, comprising a storage barrel, a discharge pipe system fixedly connected to the outside of the storage barrel, a hand-cranked shut-off valve movably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe system, a quantitative mechanism movably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe system, an anti-clogging component movably connected to the inside of the quantitative mechanism, the quantitative mechanism comprising a quantitative cylinder, the quantitative cylinder being fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe system, sliding guide rails fixedly connected to both sides of the quantitative cylinder, a motor bidirectional lead screw movably connected to the outside of the left sliding guide rail, the motor bidirectional lead screw being disposed inside the quantitative cylinder, two threaded sleeves being threadedly connected to the outside of the motor bidirectional lead screw, a quantitative plate being fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded sleeves, and the two quantitative plates being slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inside of the quantitative cylinder, respectively, a discharge port being opened on the inside of the quantitative plate, and a flow regulating component movably connected to the outside of the quantitative plate.
[0007] Preferably, the anti-blocking component includes two support rings, which are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner side of the discharge port.
[0008] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to each of the two support rings on opposite sides, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the telescopic rod.
[0009] Preferably, a vibrating screen is fixedly connected to one side of the two telescopic rods facing each other.
[0010] Preferably, the flow regulating component includes a shielding box, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate and is located at the bottom of the discharge port. Both sides of the inner side of the shielding box are slidably connected to shielding plates, and the bottom of the shielding plates is fixedly connected to a linkage arm.
[0011] Preferably, each of the two linkage arms is rotatably connected to a linkage rod on one side of its opposite side. A linkage block is rotatably connected to the outer side of the linkage rod, and the two linkage rods are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the linkage block, respectively. An electronic lifting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the linkage block, and the electronic lifting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate.
[0012] Preferably, a support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank.
[0013] Preferably, a material collection funnel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering cylinder.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This application, by setting up a quantitative mechanism, can directly determine the amount of material dispensed by setting up a transparent quantitative cylinder with a capacity scale and adjusting the distance between two sets of quantitative plates with the help of a two-way screw motor, without relying on an external container. This solves the problem of inconvenient material dispensing caused by the large variety of external container models. At the same time, the electronic lifting rod controls the opening, closing and moving distance of the baffle plate to realize material discharge and flow rate regulation. Its response is rapid, avoiding the material overflow and waste caused by the lag in response of the hand-cranked shut-off valve after the material dispensing is completed. Thus, it realizes precise control of material discharge, quantitative and flow rate regulation, and improves the convenience and economy of material dispensing.
[0016] 2. This application, by setting up an anti-clogging component, can support the vibrating screen by setting a support ring at the discharge port inlet and outlet, and using elastic elements to support the vibrating screen. When the material flows through, the vibrating screen will squeeze the elastic elements to repeatedly extend and reposition itself, which not only filters impurities, but also keeps the center position of the discharge port dynamic, effectively avoiding material accumulation and blockage, solving the blockage problem that may occur during the discharge process, and ensuring smooth discharge. At the same time, combined with the aforementioned quantitative and control structure, it further improves the stability and efficiency of material handling. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0026] A corn starch storage tank for easy quantitative dispensing includes a storage tank 1. A discharge pipe system 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage tank 1. A hand-cranked shut-off valve 3 is movably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe system 2. A metering mechanism 4 is movably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe system 2. An anti-blocking component 5 is movably connected to the inside of the metering mechanism 4. The metering mechanism 4 includes a metering cylinder 41, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe system 2. Sliding guide rails 42 are fixedly connected to both sides of the metering cylinder 41. A motor bidirectional lead screw 43 is movably connected to the outside of the left sliding guide rail 42. The motor bidirectional lead screw 43 is located inside the metering cylinder 41. Two threaded sleeves 44 are threadedly connected to the outside of the motor bidirectional lead screw 43. A metering plate 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded sleeves 44. The two metering plates 45 are slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inside of the metering cylinder 41, respectively. A discharge port 46 is opened on the inside of the metering plate 45. A flow regulating component 47 is movably connected to the outside of the metering plate 45.
[0027] In this embodiment: Instead of relying solely on the hand-cranked shut-off valve 3 and the external container, a metering cylinder 41 is installed at the bottom of the discharge point. Inside the metering cylinder 41, there are two sets of metering plates 45 with threaded sleeves 44. They are located on the outside of the two opposite threads of the motor bidirectional lead screw 43 and connected to the two sides of the inner side of the metering cylinder 41 via sliding guide rails 42. Adjusting the distance between the two metering plates 45 can form a metering capacity. The size can be seen from the external capacity scale. Once the cylinder is full, the metering is completed. When discharging, the discharge port 46 of the bottom metering plate 45 is closed first and the top one is opened. After metering, the process is reversed. The discharge port 46 of the metering plate 45 is covered by a shielding box 4701 with two built-in shielding plates 4702. The discharge, metering, and flow rate can be controlled by the flow regulating component 47.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the anti-blocking component 5 includes two support rings 51, and the two support rings 51 are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner side of the discharge port 46.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, telescopic rods 52 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two support rings 51, and return springs 53 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the telescopic rods 52.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a vibrating screen 54 is fixedly connected to one side of the two telescopic rods 52 facing each other.
[0031] In this embodiment: a set of support rings 51 close to the center are provided at the outlet and the inlet inside the discharge port 46. The support rings 51 support the vibrating screen 54 through the elastic elements composed of the annularly arranged telescopic rods 52 and the return springs 53. When discharging, the vibrating screen 54 will repeatedly extend and retract due to the material flowing through and repeatedly squeezing the telescopic rods 52 and the return springs 53. This can filter impurities and keep the center of the discharge port 46 dynamic, avoiding accumulation and blockage.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the flow regulating component 47 includes a shield box 4701, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate 45 and is located at the bottom of the discharge port 46. Shielding plates 4702 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner side of the shield box 4701, and a connecting power arm 4703 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shielding plate 4702.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, each of the two linkage arms 4703 is rotatably connected to a linkage rod 4704 on one side of its opposite side. A linkage block 4705 is rotatably connected to the outside of the linkage rod 4704. The two linkage rods 4704 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the linkage block 4705, respectively. An electronic lifting rod 4706 is fixedly connected to the top of the linkage block 4705. The electronic lifting rod 4706 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate 45.
[0034] In this embodiment: by activating the electronic lifting rod 4706, it retracts towards the metering plate 45, causing the linkage block 4705 to approach the metering plate 45. At this time, the linkage rods 4704 on both sides of the linkage block 4705 flip upwards to near horizontal. The other end of the linkage rod 4704 pushes the linkage arm 4703 at the top of the baffle plate 4702, causing the two baffle plates 4702 to move outwards simultaneously in the baffle box 4701, no longer blocking the discharge port 46. The discharge flow rate can also be adjusted by the outward distance. Conversely, the electronic lifting rod 4706 extends and closes.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a material collection funnel 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering cylinder 41.
[0037] In this embodiment: the storage tank 1 can be supported by the bracket 6, and the discharge funnel 7 can be used to collect and guide the discharge.
[0038] Working Principle: In industrial production, when dispensing proportionally measured amounts of corn starch from medium to large-sized storage tanks 1 for subsequent processing, the flow rate is typically manually adjusted using a hand-cranked shut-off valve 3, and a corresponding container is selected for quantitative dispensing. However, the hand-cranked shut-off valve 3 has a response time for adjustment and cannot be closed immediately, resulting in material overflow and waste after dispensing. Furthermore, the selection of different containers requires specific container models, making dispensing inconvenient. This new system no longer relies solely on the hand-cranked shut-off valve 3 or external containers. Instead, a metering cylinder 41 is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe system 2 to prioritize the quantitative dispensing of material after discharge. This metering cylinder 41 is a transparent pipe with sliding guide rails 42 on both sides and capacity graduations on the outer wall. The inner side of the measuring cylinder 41 is provided with two sets of metering plates 45, which are adjustable by a motor bidirectional lead screw 43 and have built-in threaded sleeves 44. The two sets of metering plates 45 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the two threads of the motor bidirectional lead screw 43 and are slidably connected to the two sides of the inner side of the measuring cylinder 41 via sliding guide rails 42. By adjusting the distance between the two metering plates 45 by the motor bidirectional lead screw 43, a metering volume can be formed between the two metering plates 45. After observing the volume formed by the two metering plates 45 according to the external capacity scale, the metering is completed by filling the space between the two metering plates 45. During discharge, the discharge port 46 of the bottom metering plate 45 is closed first, and the discharge port 46 of the top metering plate 45 is opened. After metering, the top is closed and the bottom is opened. The discharge port 46 of the metering plate 45 is not controlled by a traditional valve, but by a shielding box 4701 with two built-in shielding plates 4702 covering the discharge port 46. When the discharge port 46 needs to be opened for discharge, the electronic lifting rod 4706 is activated, causing it to retract towards the metering plate 45 and move the linkage block 4705 supported at its other end towards the metering plate 45. At this time, the linkage rods 4704 on both sides of the linkage block 4705 will flip upward and form an angle towards the horizontal area. In this state, the other end of the linkage rod 4704 will push the linkage arm 4703 at the top of the two shielding plates 4702 to push them, so that the two shielding plates 4702 move outward simultaneously inside the shielding box 4701. The obstruction of the discharge port 46 is removed, and the discharge flow rate can be adjusted according to the outward distance. Conversely, when the electronic lifting rod 4706 extends, it completes the closure. In summary, it can control the discharge, quantity, and flow rate. In addition, to prevent the discharge port 46 from clogging, a set of support rings 51 are respectively provided at the outlet and inlet of the discharge port 46. The support rings 51 are located close to the center of the discharge port 46. Each support ring 51 is supported by a set of vibrating screens 54 through an elastic element composed of annularly arranged telescopic rods 52 and a return spring 53. When discharging, the vibrating screen 54 will repeatedly squeeze the telescopic rods 52 and their internal return springs 53 between the top support ring 51 and the bottom support ring 51 according to the flow of material, causing them to repeatedly extend and return to their original positions.This allows for the filtration of impurities and maintains the center position of the discharge port 46 in a dynamic state, preventing accumulation and blockage. In summary, this optimizes the quantitative dispensing process for corn starch storage tanks.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
