Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean powder storage, and in particular to a partitioned soybean powder storage silo. Background Technology

[0002] Soybean flour silos are specialized storage facilities used for storing soybean flour, widely used in grain processing, feed production, and the food industry. Their main functions are centralized storage of soybean flour, moisture and insect protection, easy metering and transportation, and ensuring the stability of flour quality. A typical soybean flour silo includes the silo body, a feeding system, a discharging system, and other auxiliary equipment.

[0003] In the existing technology, the silo body is welded with corrugated plates. In order to increase the capacity of the silo body, the silo body is designed to be large, and multiple discharge cones are set at the bottom of the silo body to ensure smooth discharge. In order to achieve stable support for the silo body, multiple support legs are welded to the lower part of the silo body, and foundations are laid at the corresponding positions on the workshop floor. The lower part of the support legs is connected to the pre-embedded foundation to realize the transmission of force.

[0004] To facilitate logistics and turnover during the production process, multiple soybean powder silos need to be set up in the same workshop. These silos are used to store various powders produced during soybean processing, such as high-protein soybean flour, regular soybean flour, defatted protein powder, and soybean meal powder. However, when using the above technical solution, the silo legs occupy space in the workshop. In addition, the existing horizontal columns and other structures in the workshop can easily interfere with the feeding and discharging systems, greatly affecting the layout of the multiple powder silos in the workshop and increasing the difficulty of workshop layout. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem of arranging multiple soybean powder silos in the same workshop in the prior art, this utility model provides a partitioned soybean powder silo that can utilize the workshop structure for support, eliminating the need for support legs, reducing the space occupied in the workshop, and lowering the layout difficulty.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a partitioned soybean powder storage bin, including at least two bins, different bins for storing different powders, each bin including multiple vertical plates connected end to end, the vertical edges of two adjacent vertical plates of the bin being connected by vertical connecting rods, the vertical connecting rods being arranged parallel to the workshop columns, and the horizontal edges of the bottom of the vertical plates being able to connect to the workshop beams at corresponding positions.

[0007] This utility model connects the uprights forming the silo body to the workshop beams, so that multiple silos for storing soybean powder in this section can be supported on the workshop beams, eliminating the need for support legs, reducing the space occupied in the workshop, and simplifying the workshop layout.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes multiple support plate assemblies, each comprising multiple support plates arranged along the length of the workshop crossbeam. The support plates are in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid and are vertically arranged. The narrow end of each support plate is connected to the workshop crossbeam, and the wide end of each support plate is connected to the bottom horizontal edge of the vertical plate.

[0009] This invention employs an isosceles trapezoidal support plate, which on the one hand provides stable triangular support for the silo body, optimizes the stress conditions of the support plate, and prevents the support plate from failing and deforming; on the other hand, it provides sufficient space for two adjacent silos, making the distance between the two silos large enough to reduce heat transfer between them and reduce the impact of temperature on adjacent silos.

[0010] Furthermore, the upright plate is a corrugated plate structure.

[0011] This invention enhances the strength of the silo body by using corrugated plates.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes multiple connecting rod groups, each of which includes two horizontally arranged connecting rods that are parallel to the corresponding workshop beam. The lower part of the horizontal connecting rod is connected to the wide end of multiple support plates of the corresponding support plate group, and the upper part of the horizontal connecting rod is connected to the horizontal edge of the lower part of the vertical plate.

[0013] This invention increases the connection area of ​​the vertical plates by setting horizontal connecting rods, thereby enhancing the stability of the vertical plate connection and ensuring the strength of the silo body.

[0014] Furthermore, the wide end of the support plate is provided with two mounting slots, and the corresponding horizontal connecting rods are provided in the mounting slots.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes multiple connecting plates, which are disposed between the two horizontal connecting rods of the corresponding connecting rod group and located above the support plate, and the lower surface of the connecting plate is connected to the wide end of the multiple support plates.

[0016] This invention uses a connecting plate to create a supporting effect between multiple support plates, thereby enhancing the support strength of the support plates and preventing them from tilting under the force of the storage unit.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower end of the vertical connecting rod is connected to the corresponding horizontal connecting rod.

[0018] This invention enhances the supporting effect of the crossbeam and the vertical connecting rod by connecting the vertical connecting rod with the horizontal connecting rod, thereby further improving the strength of the silo body.

[0019] Furthermore, the silo body also includes a discharge cone, which is disposed at the lower part of the silo body. The discharge cone has a tetrahedral structure and includes four inclined discharge plates. The outer surface of the discharge plates is provided with a mesh-structured reinforcing rib group, which is connected to the silo body.

[0020] This invention improves the structural strength of the discharge cone by reinforcing ribs.

[0021] Furthermore, the hopper also includes four transition plates, each a flat plate. The upper part of the transition plate is connected to the horizontal connecting rod, and the lower outer side of the transition plate is provided with an installation rod. The installation rod is parallel to the horizontal connecting rod, and the inner surface of the installation rod is connected to the upper outer side of the discharge plate. The upper part of the reinforcing rib group is connected to the lower surface of the corresponding installation rod.

[0022] This invention connects the reinforcing rib assembly to the silo body via an installation rod, and combines vertical and horizontal connecting rods to form a frame structure for the silo body. The force of the discharge cone acts on the installation rod rather than the transition plate, optimizing the stress on the silo body and enhancing its strength.

[0023] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned hoppers has at least two discharge cones.

[0024] This invention achieves smooth material discharge by setting multiple discharge cones, even with a large bottom area of ​​the silo.

[0025] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] This utility model provides a partitioned soybean powder silo. By connecting the vertical panels forming the silo body to the workshop crossbeams, multiple silos within this partitioned soybean powder silo can be supported on the workshop crossbeams, eliminating the need for support legs, reducing the space occupied in the workshop, and simplifying the workshop layout. The use of isosceles trapezoidal support plates provides triangular stability to the silo body, optimizing the stress conditions of the support plates and preventing failure and deformation. Furthermore, it provides sufficient space between adjacent silos, ensuring a large enough distance between them to reduce heat transfer and minimize the impact of temperature on adjacent silos. The silo body strength is enhanced by using corrugated plates, and the connection of the vertical panels is increased by installing horizontal connecting rods. The area is increased to enhance the stability of the vertical plate connection and ensure the strength of the silo body; the connection plates are set to form a support between multiple support plates, enhancing the support strength of the support plates and preventing tilting under the force of the storage unit; the connection between the vertical and horizontal connecting rods enhances the support between the crossbeam and the vertical connecting rods, further improving the strength of the silo body; the structural strength of the discharge cone is improved by the reinforcing ribs; the connection between the reinforcing ribs and the silo body is achieved by the mounting rods, and combined with the vertical and horizontal connecting rods, the silo body forms a frame structure, so that the force of the discharge cone acts on the mounting rods rather than the transition plate, optimizing the stress on the silo body and enhancing its strength; the setting of multiple discharge cones enables smooth material discharge when the silo body has a large bottom area.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides a partitioned soybean powder storage silo, including at least two silo bodies 1. Different silo bodies 1 are used to store different powders. Each silo body 1 includes multiple vertical plates 101 connected end to end. The vertical edges of two adjacent vertical plates 101 of the silo body 1 are connected by vertical connecting rods 102. The vertical connecting rods 102 are arranged parallel to the workshop columns 2. The horizontal edges at the bottom of the vertical plates 101 can be connected to the workshop beams 3 at corresponding positions. In this specific embodiment, in order to ensure the strength of the silo body 1, the vertical plates 101 are corrugated board structures.

[0037] This specific embodiment connects the vertical plate 101 that forms the silo body 1 to the workshop crossbeam 3, so that multiple silos 1 of soybean powder in this section can be supported on the workshop crossbeam 3 without the need for support legs, reducing the occupation of workshop space and the layout difficulty of devices such as feeding system and discharging system. Only the arrangement height, number of layers and quantity of crossbeams need to be considered when constructing the workshop. There is no need to pre-bury the foundation to support the silo body 1, thus improving the efficiency of constructing the section soybean powder silos in the workshop.

[0038] Because different materials are stored at different temperatures, in order to reduce heat transfer between them, such as Figures 3 to 4As shown, in this specific embodiment, multiple support plate assemblies are also included. The support plate assemblies are used to connect the upright plate 101 to the corresponding workshop crossbeam 3. The support plate assemblies include multiple support plates 106, which are arranged along the length of the workshop crossbeam 3. The support plates 106 are isosceles trapezoidal in shape and vertically arranged. The narrow end of the support plate 106 is welded to the workshop crossbeam 3, and the wide end of the support plate 106 is connected to the bottom horizontal edge of the upright plate 101. By using the isosceles trapezoidal support plate 106, on the one hand, a triangular stable support is formed for the silo 1, enhancing the overall structural support stability, optimizing the stress condition of the support plate 106, and preventing the support plate 106 from failing and deforming; on the other hand, it can provide sufficient space for two adjacent silos 1, making the distance between two adjacent silos 1 large enough, forming an "air bridge" between the two adjacent silos, and reducing heat transfer between them. Furthermore, to increase the connection area of ​​the upright plate 101 of the corrugated board structure, this specific embodiment also includes multiple connecting rod groups. The number of connecting rod groups is the same as the number of support plate groups. Both are used in conjunction with the corresponding workshop beams 3. Each connecting rod group includes two horizontally arranged connecting rods 103. The horizontal connecting rods 103 are parallel to the corresponding workshop beams 3. The lower part of the horizontal connecting rod 103 is welded to the wide end of the multiple support plates 106 of the corresponding support plate group. The upper part of the horizontal connecting rod 103 is connected to the horizontal edge of the lower part of the upright plate 101. Welded connection; Preferably, to enhance the supporting effect of the support plate 106 on the horizontal connecting rod 103, the wide end of the support plate 106 is provided with two mounting slots 1061, and the corresponding horizontal connecting rod 103 is provided in the mounting slots 1061. The bottom edge of the mounting slot 1061 is welded to the lower surface of the horizontal connecting rod 103, and the vertical edge of the mounting slot 1061 is welded to the vertical surface of the horizontal connecting rod 103. After this arrangement, the force of the vertical plate 101 is transmitted from the horizontal connecting rod 103 to the support plate 106, and then to the workshop crossbeam 3.

[0039] To prevent the support plate 106 from deforming under the weight of the silo 1 and external vibrations, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in this specific embodiment, multiple connecting plates 104 are also included. The connecting plates 104 are used in conjunction with the support plate group and the connecting rod group. The connecting plate 104 is disposed between the two horizontal connecting rods 103 of the corresponding connecting rod group and located on the upper part of the support plate 106. The lower surface of the connecting plate 104 is welded to the wide end of the multiple support plates 106. In this way, the support plate 106 receives the force of the adjacent support plate 106 through the connecting plate 104 and will not easily deform or tilt.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this specific embodiment, the silo body 1 further includes a discharge cone 5, which is disposed at the lower part of the silo body 1. The discharge cone 5 has a tetrahedral structure and includes four inclined discharge plates 502. Since the discharge cone 5 is subjected to the downward pressure of all material layers above, to enhance its strength, a mesh-structured reinforcing rib group 501 is provided on the outer surface of the discharge plate 502. The upper end of the reinforcing rib group 501 is connected to the silo body 1. Preferably, to ensure that the silo body 1 has sufficient strength when bearing the tensile force of the discharge cone 5, the silo body 1 also includes four transition plates 105. The transition plates 105 are arranged parallel to the vertical plate 101. The transition plates 105 have a flat plate structure. The upper part of the transition plate 105 is welded to the inner surface of the horizontal connecting rod 103. An installation rod 17 is provided on the lower outer side of the transition plate 105. The installation rod 17 is parallel to the horizontal connecting rod 103. The inner surface of the installation rod 17... The surface of the reinforcing rib 501 is welded to the outer surface of the discharge plate 502, and the upper part of the reinforcing rib 501 is welded to the lower surface of the corresponding mounting rod 17. This arrangement ensures that the mounting rod 17 is located outside the transition plate 105, leaving space for connection with the reinforcing rib 501. Combined with the vertical connecting rod 102 and the horizontal connecting rod 103, this forms a frame structure for the hopper 1. The force of the discharge cone 5 acts on the mounting rod 17 instead of the transition plate 105, optimizing the stress on the hopper 1 and enhancing its strength. In contrast, using corrugated board for the transition plate 105 would occupy the upper and lower planes of the mounting rod 17 during connection, placing the mounting rod 17 between the transition plate 105 and the discharge plate 502. This would prevent the mounting rod 17 from being welded to the reinforcing rib 501, forcing the reinforcing rib 501 to be welded only to the surface of the transition plate 105. The transition plate 105 would have lower strength relative to the mounting rod 17, thus affecting the strength of the hopper 1.

[0041] To avoid an excessively large cone angle in the discharge cone 5 of the large-capacity silo 1, which would affect material movement, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this specific embodiment, each of the bins 1 has at least two discharge cones 5. In this specific embodiment, two discharge cones 5 are provided.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, the vertical connecting rod 102, the horizontal connecting rod 103 and the mounting rod 17 are all square tube structures, and a silo body 1 includes four connecting rod groups, a support plate group and four connecting plates 104.

[0043] As can be seen from the above specific embodiments, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] 1. By connecting the vertical plate 101 that forms the silo body 1 to the workshop crossbeam 3, multiple silos 1 for soybean powder filling in this section can be supported on the workshop crossbeam 3, eliminating the need for support legs, reducing the occupation of workshop space, and reducing the difficulty of workshop layout.

[0045] 2. By adopting an isosceles trapezoidal support plate 106, on the one hand, a triangular stable support is formed for the silo 1, which optimizes the stress condition of the support plate 106 and avoids failure and deformation of the support plate 106; on the other hand, it can provide sufficient space for two adjacent silos 1, so that the distance between two adjacent silos 1 is large enough, reducing heat transfer between them and reducing the impact of temperature on adjacent silos 1.

[0046] 3. The strength of the silo body 1 is enhanced by using corrugated sheets; the connection area of ​​the vertical plate 101 is increased by setting horizontal connecting rods 103, which enhances the stability of the connection of the vertical plate 101 and ensures the strength of the silo body 1.

[0047] 4. By setting the connecting plate 104, a supporting effect is formed between the multiple supporting plates 106, which enhances the supporting strength of the supporting plates 106 and prevents them from tilting under the force of the storage unit.

[0048] 5. By connecting the vertical connecting rod 102 with the horizontal connecting rod 103, the supporting effect of the crossbeam and the vertical connecting rod 102 can be enhanced, further improving the strength of the silo body 1;

[0049] 6. The structural strength of the discharge cone 5 is improved by reinforcing ribs 501;

[0050] 7. The reinforcing rib group 501 is connected to the silo body 1 by the mounting rod 17, and combined with the vertical connecting rod 102 and the horizontal connecting rod 103, so that the silo body 1 forms a frame structure. The force of the discharge cone 5 is applied to the mounting rod 17 instead of the transition plate 105, which optimizes the stress on the silo body 1 and enhances the strength of the silo body 1.

[0051] 8. By setting multiple discharge cones 5, smooth material discharge can be achieved even when the bottom area of ​​the silo body 1 is large.

[0052] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
