Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible salt processing, and in particular to a storage device for edible salt raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] Storage devices for edible salt raw materials need to be designed specifically for the type of salt, storage environment and scale. For different types such as sea salt, mineral salt and lake salt, environmental factors such as humidity, temperature and ventilation need to be considered, and the storage method of small warehouses or large storage tanks should be reasonably planned. The device must have good moisture-proof performance, adopt a sealed structure to prevent moisture absorption and clumping, and at the same time avoid dust pollution and the mixing of external impurities.

[0003] Existing edible salt raw material storage devices have design flaws; their outlet structure cannot simultaneously achieve sealing and pressure relief functions. During use, due to the lack of an effective pressure regulation mechanism, excessively high pressure easily accumulates inside the tank. This not only affects discharge efficiency but also poses safety hazards. The pressure imbalance problem is particularly prominent when the ambient temperature changes or during frequent loading and unloading, which may lead to seal failure or tank deformation.

[0004] Therefore, the existing storage devices for edible salt raw materials cannot simultaneously achieve the dual functions of sealing and pressure relief at the outlet position, which easily leads to excessive pressure inside the tank during use. There is an urgent need to design a new type of storage device for edible salt raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the existing storage device for edible salt raw materials cannot simultaneously perform the dual functions of sealing and pressure relief at the outlet position, which leads to excessive pressure inside the tank during use.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a storage device for edible salt raw materials, including a storage tank; it also includes support legs, a cover plate, a sleeve, a slider, a telescopic spring, and a baffle plate. A top cover is installed on the top surface of the storage tank. Four support legs arranged in a matrix are arranged at the front position of the upper surface of the top cover. A cover plate is installed on the top of the support legs. A sleeve is installed at the center position of the bottom surface of the cover plate. A slider is slidably connected to the bottom of the sleeve. A telescopic spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve and the slider. A baffle plate is installed on the bottom surface of the slider. The baffle plate is embedded in the top cover. The bottom of the telescopic spring is connected to the upper surface of the baffle plate, and the top of the telescopic spring is connected to the bottom of the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, by setting a baffle, when the internal pressure of the storage tank is too high, the baffle will be pushed upward, thereby driving the slider to slide upward along the sleeve. At the same time, the telescopic spring will extend and retract, releasing the pressure inside the storage tank. Then the telescopic spring will rebound, causing the slider to drive the baffle to re-embed into the inside of the top cover, achieving a sealing effect. This solves the problem that the outlet position of the existing edible salt raw material storage device cannot simultaneously perform the dual functions of sealing and pressure relief, which leads to the problem of excessive pressure inside the tank during use.

[0008] Preferably, a drive shaft is rotatably connected through the middle of the upper surface of the top cover, a connecting plate is installed on the bottom surface of the drive shaft, stirring rods are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the connecting plate, a driven gear is installed on the top surface of the drive shaft, a drive motor is installed on the right side of the upper surface of the top cover, and a driving gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor, with the driving gear meshing with the driven gear.

[0009] Preferably, four circumferentially distributed dampers are provided near the edge of the bottom surface of the storage tank. A gasket is installed on the bottom surface of the damper, and a buffer spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the damper. The bottom of the buffer spring is connected to the upper surface of the gasket, and the top of the buffer spring is connected to the bottom of the storage tank.

[0010] Preferably, a base plate is installed at the bottom of the gasket, and four circumferentially distributed casters are installed at the bottom edge of the base plate. The casters are fixed to the base plate with screws.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing ring is installed on the upper part of the inner surface of the storage tank, and a sealing groove is opened on the upper surface of the sealing ring. The top cover is connected to the sealing ring by a sealing strip.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the storage tank is provided with multiple equally spaced reinforcing ribs, which are fixed to the storage tank by welding.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting seat is provided on the upper part of both the front and rear sides of the outer surface of the storage tank, and a connecting rod is installed between the two connecting seats. The outer surface of the connecting rod is covered with a protective sleeve.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By setting a baffle, when the internal pressure of the storage tank is high, the gas pressure will push the baffle upward, thereby driving the slider to slide along the sleeve axis. During this process, the telescopic spring undergoes elastic deformation to absorb energy and realize pressure release. When the internal pressure drops to a safe value, the telescopic spring releases stored energy to generate restoring force, driving the slider to reset, so that the baffle re-forms an interference fit with the inner wall of the top cover, restoring the sealing state. The entire working cycle realizes the functions of pressure self-regulation and sealing self-recovery, thereby solving the problem that the outlet position of the existing edible salt raw material storage device cannot simultaneously achieve the dual functions of sealing and pressure relief, which leads to the problem of excessive pressure inside the tank during use.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a storage device for edible salt raw materials, including a storage tank 1; it also includes support legs 3, a cover plate 4, a sleeve 5, a slider 6, a telescopic spring 7, and a baffle 8. A top cover 2 is installed on the top surface of the storage tank 1. Four support legs 3 arranged in a matrix are positioned at the front of the upper surface of the top cover 2. A cover plate 4 is installed on the top of the support legs 3. A sleeve 5 is installed at the center of the bottom surface of the cover plate 4. A slider 6 is slidably connected to the bottom of the sleeve 5. A telescopic spring 7 is fitted onto the outer surface of the sleeve 5 and the slider 6. A baffle 8 is installed on the bottom surface of the 6, and the baffle 8 is embedded in the top cover 2. The bottom of the telescopic spring 7 is connected to the upper surface of the baffle 8, and the top of the telescopic spring 7 is connected to the bottom of the cover plate 4. By setting the baffle 8, when the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 is too high, the baffle 8 will be pushed upward, thereby driving the slider 6 to slide upward along the sleeve 5. At the same time, the telescopic spring 7 will extend and retract, and the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 will be released. Then the telescopic spring 7 will rebound, causing the slider 6 to drive the baffle 8 to be embedded in the interior of the top cover 2 again, thereby achieving a sealing effect.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, a drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected through the middle of the upper surface of the top cover 2. A connecting plate 10 is installed on the bottom surface of the drive shaft 9. Stirring rods 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the connecting plate 10. A driven gear 12 is installed on the top surface of the drive shaft 9. A drive motor 13 is installed on the right side of the upper surface of the top cover 2. The output end of the drive motor 13 is connected to a driving gear 14. The driving gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 12. By setting the drive motor 13, its output end can drive the driving gear 14 to rotate during operation. When the driving gear 14 rotates, it can drive the driven gear 12 meshing with it to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the drive shaft 9 to drive the connecting plate 10 and the stirring rods 11 to rotate, thereby improving the original internal structure of the storage tank 1. To improve the uniformity of the material, four circumferentially distributed dampers 15 are installed near the edge of the bottom surface of the storage tank 1. A pad 16 is installed on the bottom surface of the damper 15, and a buffer spring 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the damper 15. The bottom of the buffer spring 17 is connected to the upper surface of the pad 16, and the top of the buffer spring 17 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. By setting the dampers 15 and the buffer spring 17, the bottom of the storage tank 1 can be buffered and shock-absorbing, thereby improving stability. A base plate 18 is installed at the bottom of the pad 16. Four circumferentially distributed casters 19 are installed at the edge of the bottom surface of the base plate 18. The casters 19 are fixed to the base plate 18 with screws. By setting the casters 19, the entire device can be moved easily, improving convenience.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, a sealing ring 20 is installed on the upper part of the inner surface of the storage tank 1. A sealing groove 21 is formed on the upper surface of the sealing ring 20. The top cover 2 is connected to the sealing ring 20 through a sealing strip. By setting the sealing ring 20 and the sealing groove 21, the sealing effect between the top cover 2 and the storage tank 1 can be improved, preventing the raw materials from getting damp and deteriorating. Multiple equally spaced reinforcing ribs 22 are provided on the outer surface of the storage tank 1. The reinforcing ribs 22 are fixed to the storage tank 1 by welding. By setting the reinforcing ribs 22, the compressive strength of the storage tank 1 can be improved, thereby improving the safety of storage. Connecting seats 23 are provided on the upper part of the front and rear sides of the outer surface of the storage tank 1. A connecting rod 24 is installed between the two connecting seats 23. A protective sleeve 25 is fitted on the outer surface of the connecting rod 24. By setting the connecting rod 24 and the protective sleeve 25, the operator can grasp the connecting rod 24 to pull or push the storage tank 1, which is more labor-saving.

[0026] During operation, the drive motor 13 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. The drive gear 14 rotates synchronously with the driven gear 12, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 9 to rotate the connecting plate 10 and the stirring rod 11. This improves the uniformity of the raw materials inside the storage tank 1. The damper 15 and the buffer spring 17 provide cushioning and shock absorption to the bottom of the storage tank 1, thereby improving stability. The casters 19 facilitate the movement of the entire device, improving convenience. The sealing ring 20 and the sealing groove 21 improve the sealing effect between the top cover 2 and the storage tank 1, preventing the raw materials from getting damp and deteriorating. The reinforcing ribs 22 improve the compressive strength of the storage tank 1, thereby improving storage safety. The connecting rod 24 and the protective sleeve 25 allow the operator to grip the connecting rod 24 to pull or push the storage tank 1, making it easier.

[0027] Through the above steps, by setting baffle 8, when the internal pressure of storage tank 1 is high, the gas pressure will push baffle 8 upward, thereby driving slider 6 to slide axially along sleeve 5. During this process, the telescopic spring 7 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb energy and realize pressure release. When the internal pressure drops to a safe value, the telescopic spring 7 releases stored energy to generate restoring force, driving slider 6 to reset, so that baffle 8 re-forms an interference fit with the inner wall of top cover 2, restoring the sealing state. The entire working cycle realizes the functions of pressure self-regulation and sealing self-recovery, thereby solving the problem that the outlet position of the existing edible salt raw material storage device cannot simultaneously achieve the dual functions of sealing and pressure relief, which leads to the problem of excessive pressure inside the tank during use.
