[0038] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0040] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the mounting structure of the panel includes: a frame 2, a sealing gasket 3, a support column assembly, and a first panel 5; the frame 2 includes a first mounting opening 201, a first groove 202, and a second groove 203 arranged sequentially from the inside out; the sealing gasket 3 is disposed in the first groove 202; the support column assembly is disposed in the second groove 203; the first panel 5 is detachably mounted to the frame 2 via the support column assembly, and the first panel 5 covers the first mounting opening 201 and presses the sealing gasket 3 to seal the first mounting opening 201.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the frame 2 can be used as the outer shell of a grain cooler, and a first mounting port 201 is provided thereon. The first mounting port 201 is covered by a first panel 5, so that the interior of the frame 2 is configured as a closed space. In order to form a sealing structure between the first mounting port 201 and the first panel 5, the closed space is sealed to prevent the leakage of toxic gases.

[0042] Specifically, the frame 2 also includes a groove group surrounding the first mounting opening 201. This groove group is not connected to the aforementioned enclosed space and includes a first groove 202 and a second groove 203 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. A sealing gasket 3 is provided in the first groove 202 near the first mounting opening 201, and a support column assembly is provided in the second groove 203 on the outside. The detachable connection between the support column assembly and the first panel 5 allows the sealing gasket 3 to be pressed between the first panel 5 and the frame 2 when the first panel 5 covers the first mounting opening 201, thus sealing the gap between the first mounting opening 201 and the first panel 5. In this way, by using the first panel 5 to press the sealing gasket 3 to form a uniform sealing area at the first mounting opening 201, there is no need to rely on structural adhesive to fill the gap. This not only improves the installation efficiency of the first panel 5, but also avoids the risk of leakage due to uneven curing of the structural adhesive, or the impact on the appearance of the first panel 5 after applying the adhesive. Meanwhile, the first panel 5 and the support column assembly are detachably connected. On the one hand, after the first panel 5 is installed in place, it can press the sealing gasket 3 tightly. On the other hand, it is also convenient to remove the first panel 5 to expose the first mounting port 201, so as to facilitate the replacement of the corresponding parts. Reinstalling the first panel 5 will not affect its appearance, nor will it damage the sealing structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 3 is independently disposed in the first groove 202. Since the first groove 202 is located inside the second groove 203, the sealing gasket 3 is located inside the support column assembly. Therefore, the sealing gasket 3 can be pressed between the frame 2 and the first panel 5 using the detachable engagement of the first panel 5 and the support assembly. On one hand, the first panel 5 can close the first mounting opening 201; on the other hand, the sealing gasket 3 can close the gap formed between the first panel 5 and the frame 2. Thus, the sealing structure of the first mounting opening 201 is formed by the dual engagement of the sealing gasket 3 and the first panel 5. This not only improves the airtightness of the frame 2 but also allows for the individual replacement of different components of the sealing structure. Furthermore, using the sealing gasket 3 replaces the original glue application method, eliminating glue residue and overflow problems, ensuring the clean appearance of the first panel 5. Moreover, the sealing gasket 3 can be pressed between the first panel 5 during installation, improving installation efficiency. Of course, in order to prevent the sealing gasket 3 from reacting with the phosphine gas generated by fumigation, its material can be synthetic rubber, such as cis-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support column assembly includes a plurality of support columns 4, which are spaced apart in the second groove 203. Each support column 4 has an installation point for mounting the first panel 5. Specifically, to improve the stability of the first panel 5 at the frame 2, this embodiment defines the support column assembly as including a plurality of support columns 4, which are spaced apart at various positions in the second groove 203 to facilitate contact and installation with various points of the first panel 5, forming a multi-point force distribution. This also facilitates the first panel 5 to evenly transmit pressure to the sealing gasket 3, avoiding leakage caused by local deformation. Simultaneously, the support columns 4 are provided with installation points for detachable connection to the first panel 5.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting point includes a positioning hole 401 and a nut 402. The positioning hole 401 is formed at the end of the support column 4 facing the first panel 5, and the nut 402 is embedded in the positioning hole 401 for engagement with a bolt on the first panel 5. Specifically, to achieve a detachable connection between the first panel 5 and the support column 4, this embodiment provides a positioning hole 401 at the end of the support column 4 facing the first panel 5, and embeds a nut 402 in the positioning hole 401. A through hole for the bolt to pass through is provided at a corresponding position on the first panel 5. Thus, the detachable connection between the first panel 5 and the support column 4 can be achieved by the engagement of the bolt and the nut 402. Of course, the end of the support column 4 facing away from the first panel 5 is fixed in the second groove 203 to prevent the first panel 5 from falling off.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the support column 4 is trapezoidal, with its width gradually increasing away from the first panel 5. On the one hand, the trapezoidal gradient cross-section makes the force transfer from the first panel 5 to the frame 2 more smoothly, reducing stress concentration and avoiding local deformation; on the other hand, the formed slope can reduce the friction area between the support column 4 and the inner wall of the second groove 203, making it less likely to scratch the mating surface during repeated disassembly and assembly, thus extending its service life.

[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, multiple support columns 4 are arranged at equal intervals along a first direction and / or a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first direction and the second direction mentioned above are the length direction and the width direction of the frame 2, respectively. The support columns 4 are arranged at equal intervals in both directions, which can make the first panel 5 bear the force evenly and avoid local force concentration, which would affect the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 3.

[0048] like Figures 7-9 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing gasket 3 has a T-shaped cross-section. Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the sealing gasket 3 within the first groove 202 and to seal the gap, the sealing gasket 3 in this embodiment has a T-shaped cross-section. This T-shaped sealing gasket 3 includes a vertical section 301 and a horizontal section 302. The vertical section 301 is embedded within the first groove 202, and the horizontal section 302 covers the first groove 202. It contacts the first panel 5 and is compressed by the first panel 5 to seal the gap between the first panel 5 and the frame 2, thereby improving overall airtightness.

[0049] Preferably, the horizontal segment 302 has a chamfered structure 303 on the edge opposite to the vertical segment 301. The chamfered structure 303 is formed at the sealing surface of the horizontal segment 302 to improve its sealing performance.

[0050] This embodiment also provides a grain cooler, including the installation structure described above. The specific structure of the installation structure is the same as described in the above embodiment. Since this grain cooler adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The frame 2 is provided with multiple second mounting ports, and a second panel 6 is welded to each second mounting port to close the second mounting port. Figures 2-4As shown, the frame 2 has six sides, one of which is provided with a first mounting port 201, and the other five sides are provided with second mounting ports. The first mounting port 201 is opened or closed by using the detachable installation method of the first panel 5, so as to facilitate maintenance and repair. Each second mounting port is formed by argon arc welding of the second panel 6 to form a whole, so as to avoid gaps between the second mounting port and the second panel 6 that would affect the overall airtightness.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
