Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of chemical engineering and building materials technology, and in particular to a multi-silo structure. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical engineering is an industrial field that studies the chemical composition, properties, and transformation laws of substances, and produces chemical products through chemical reactions. Building materials are a general term for various materials used in construction projects, covering multiple types such as metals and non-metals. With the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, chemical engineering has developed from small workshops to large-scale production, meeting the needs of agriculture, medicine, and other fields. Building materials emerged with the need for human settlement, gradually developing from primitive soil and stones to cement, steel, and other materials, driving the progress of the construction industry. Both are important foundations for modern industrial and social development. In the agricultural industry, multi-silo structures can store multiple different materials simultaneously, avoiding material mixing, meeting the orderly supply needs of multiple raw materials in continuous production, and improving production efficiency and the accuracy of material management. Therefore, a multi-silo structure is particularly needed.

[0003] Traditional fish feed dispensers often struggle to precisely control the amount of additives added, frequently resulting in over- or under-additions that negatively impact feed quality. The mixing of additives with the fish feed is also difficult to achieve uniformity, leading to areas with excessively high or low additive concentrations, disrupting the overall nutritional balance of the feed. Furthermore, additives can easily leave residues during the dispensing process, polluting the aquatic environment and posing a potential threat to the aquaculture ecosystem. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-silo structure, including a feed storage silo 1, an additive storage silo 2 connected to one side of the feed storage silo 1, a sealing partition 3 between the feed storage silo 1 and the additive storage silo 2, a silo pipe 4 connected to the bottom of the feed storage silo 1, an additive pipe 5 connected to the bottom of the additive storage silo 2, electromagnetic valves 6 provided on the surfaces of both the silo pipe 4 and the additive pipe 5, a connecting pipe 7 connected to one side of the silo pipe 4, a three-way connector 8 connected to the bottom of both the connecting pipe 7 and the additive pipe 5, a U-shaped fixing frame 9 connected to the bottom of the three-way connector 8, a pressure sensor 10 installed at the bottom of the U-shaped fixing frame 9, and a mixing component 11 provided at the other end of the three-way connector 8;

[0024] The mixing assembly 11 includes an airflow duct 1101 connected to the other end of a tee connector 8. A blower 1102 is connected above one end of the airflow duct 1101. A connecting seat 1103 is connected to one end of the airflow duct 1101, and spiral guide vanes 1104 are attached to the surface of the connecting seat 1103. A mounting base 1105 is connected to the outer side of one end of the tee connector 8. A first filter plate 1106 is connected to the inner side of the mounting base 1105, and a second filter plate 1107 is connected to the middle of the inner side of the mounting base 1105. A baffle 1108 is connected to the inner wall of the other side of the mounting base 1105. With the mixing assembly 11, after the blower 1102 starts, it introduces external airflow into the airflow duct 1101. After entering the duct, the airflow is guided by the spiral guide vanes 1104 on the surface of the connecting seat 1103 and flows along a spiral path towards the tee connector 8, forming a directional flow with rotational kinetic energy. The airflow is precisely directed into the T-joint 8. When the additive enters the T-joint 8 through the additive pipe 5, the airflow guided by the spiral guide vane 1104 directly acts on the additive. The thrust of the airflow blows the additive from the connecting pipe 7 into the feed hopper pipe 4, where it converges with the feed falling from the feed hopper pipe 4. During this process, the airflow carrying the additive and feed first enters the mounting base 1105. The filter components in the mounting base 1105 then begin to function. The first filter plate 1106 first intercepts and filters larger particulate impurities in the airflow to prevent them from entering subsequent pipes. Then, the second filter plate 1107 further filters the fine dust and impurities in the airflow to ensure that the airflow entering the feed hopper pipe 4 is clean. The baffle 1108 stabilizes the filtered airflow to prevent impurities from flowing back, while guiding the airflow carrying the additive and feed smoothly into the feed hopper pipe 4, ultimately achieving efficient mixing of the additive and feed.

[0025] Furthermore, the sealing partition 3 is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the edge of the sealing partition 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the feed storage bin 1 and the additive storage bin 2 by welding. Through the setting of the sealing partition 3, the food-grade stainless steel material ensures the safety of the feed and additive storage environment, and the welding fixed connection method realizes the tight separation between the feed storage bin 1 and the additive storage bin 2, effectively preventing the two materials from mixing and ensuring the purity of the materials.

[0026] Furthermore, the solenoid valve 6 is fixedly connected to the silo pipe 4 and the additive pipe 5 respectively via flanges, and a rubber sealing gasket is provided between the flanges. The control cable of the solenoid valve 6 is passed through a pre-set wire hole on the outer wall of the pipe. Through the setting of the solenoid valve 6, the cooperation between the flange and the rubber sealing gasket ensures the sealing of the valve and the pipe connection, preventing material leakage. The concealed running of the control cable avoids messy wiring. At the same time, the solenoid valve 6 can accurately control the opening and closing of the silo pipe 4 and the additive pipe 5, which facilitates the adjustment of the material conveying volume.

[0027] Furthermore, the two ends of the U-shaped fixing frame 9 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tee connector 8 by bolts. The detection end of the pressure sensor 10 is tightly fitted with the bottom surface of the tee connector 8, and a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the pressure sensor 10 and the U-shaped fixing frame 9. Through the setting of the U-shaped fixing frame 9 and the pressure sensor 10, the bolt-fixed U-shaped fixing frame 9 provides a stable installation base for the pressure sensor 10. The tight fit of the detection end ensures the accuracy of pressure monitoring, and the shock-absorbing pad reduces the impact of vibration on the pressure sensor 10, enabling it to stably feed back the pressure information inside the tee connector 8, providing a reliable basis for material ratio control.

[0028] Furthermore, the spiral guide vane 1104 and the connecting seat 1103 are integrally formed. The spiral angle of the spiral guide vane 1104 is 45 degrees, and there is a 2 mm gap between the edge of the vane and the inner wall of the airflow pipe 1101. Through the setting of the spiral guide vane 1104, the integrally formed structure ensures the structural strength and stability of the vane. The 45-degree spiral angle can efficiently guide the airflow to form rotational kinetic energy, so that the airflow is directed and accurately blown into the interior of the three-way connector 8. The 2 mm gap not only avoids the friction between the vane and the inner wall of the airflow pipe 1101, but also ensures the concentrated push of the airflow, enhances the pushing effect on the additive, and promotes the full convergence of the additive and the feed.

[0029] Furthermore, multiple sets of filter holes are formed on the surfaces of both the first filter plate 1106 and the second filter plate 1107. The filter hole diameter on the surface of the first filter plate 1106 is larger than that on the surface of the second filter plate 1107. Through the arrangement of the first filter plate 1106 and the second filter plate 1107, multiple sets of filter holes can effectively filter impurities in the airflow. The larger filter hole diameter of the first filter plate 1106 first intercepts larger particulate impurities, and the smaller filter hole diameter of the second filter plate 1107 then filters out fine dust, forming a graded filtration mechanism, which significantly improves the cleanliness of the airflow and materials entering the silo pipe 4.

[0030] Furthermore, the baffle 1108 is made of galvanized steel wire mesh, and the baffle 1108 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 1105 on the other side by a buckle. Through the setting of the baffle 1108, the galvanized steel wire mesh material has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively block impurities from passing through and ensure smooth airflow. The buckle connection method is easy to disassemble and clean. At the same time, the baffle 1108 plays a stabilizing role in the filtered airflow, preventing impurities from flowing back and ensuring the stable progress of the additive and feed mixing process.

[0031] Working Principle: During operation, feed storage bin 1 stores feed, and additive storage bin 2 stores additives. A sealing partition 3 tightly separates the two, preventing material mixing. When mixing is required, the solenoid valves 6 on the feed bin pipe 4 and additive pipe 5 are opened. Feed falls from feed storage bin 1 through feed bin pipe 4, and additives enter the tee connector 8 from additive storage bin 2 through additive pipe 5. Simultaneously, the mixing assembly 11 starts, and the blower 1102 introduces external airflow into the airflow pipe 1101. Guided by the spiral guide vanes 1104, the airflow generates rotational kinetic energy and is directed towards the inside of the tee connector 8. The airflow thrust propels the additives from the connecting pipe 7 towards the feed bin pipe 4, mixing with... As the falling feed gathers, the pressure sensor 10 fixed in the U-shaped bracket 9 monitors the pressure inside the three-way connector 8 in real time, providing a basis for adjusting the solenoid valve 6 to accurately control the material ratio. After the airflow carries the mixture into the mounting base 1105, the first filter plate 1106 and the second filter plate 1107 filter impurities in stages. The baffle 1108 stabilizes the airflow and prevents impurities from flowing back, ensuring that the clean mixture enters the subsequent process. Finally, under the action of the airflow and the spiral guide vanes 1104, the feed and additives are fully mixed. Through the coordinated cooperation of various components, the entire device achieves the orderly storage, precise delivery and efficient mixing of feed and additives, thus completing the use process of a multi-compartment structure.
