Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea oil production equipment, specifically to a tea seed storage tank for tea oil production using the water-based method. Background Technology
[0002] Camellia oil production using the water-oil method involves using the density difference between water and oil. Camellia seeds are crushed, water is added and stirred to form a water-oil mixture, and then the oil is extracted using methods such as centrifugation. The entire process does not require chemical solvents. As an important raw material for camellia oil production using the water-oil method, the quality of camellia seed storage directly determines the quality of camellia oil production. Camellia seeds need to be dried to a moisture content of about 8%-10% before storage. They should be placed in a breathable container in a cool, dry place, away from fire and odors. Regular checks should be conducted to prevent mold and insect infestation in order to maintain the storage quality of the camellia seeds.
[0003] Existing technologies often have the following problems when used:
[0004] Camellia seed storage equipment is mostly closed or semi-closed tank structure with poor ventilation. During storage, camellia seeds are prone to generating moisture and heat due to respiration. In closed or semi-closed environments, camellia seeds are prone to mold growth, affecting the storage quality. Furthermore, camellia seeds are prone to clumping in high humidity environments during storage. Clumped camellia seeds not only reduce the rate of moisture removal but also affect the subsequent transportation and processing of camellia seeds. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a storage tank for camellia seeds produced by the water method of camellia oil production. It can effectively solve the problems of poor ventilation performance of existing camellia seed storage equipment, which easily leads to mold growth of camellia seeds and affects the storage quality of camellia seeds, as well as the problem that camellia seeds are prone to clumping in high humidity environments, which reduces the rate of moisture removal and affects subsequent transportation and processing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a storage tank for camellia seeds produced by the water-based method of camellia oil production, comprising:
[0008] Storage tank and storage bin, wherein the storage bin is designed with a mesh-like hollow structure and a suspended storage component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank;
[0009] The suspended storage assembly includes two vertical guide rails fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank. The outer peripheral wall of the storage bin is rotatably connected to a lifting frame via an annular bearing. The two ends of the lifting frame are slidably engaged with the two vertical guide rails respectively. A cover frame is movably connected to the top of the storage tank. A fan is fixedly installed on the top of the cover frame. Several exhaust vents are opened at the lower position of the side wall of the storage tank.
[0010] A material loosening assembly is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the storage tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the loosening assembly includes two fixed plates fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank. Each of the two fixed plates is slidably connected with an arc-shaped abutment rod. An arc-shaped pressure spring is fixedly connected between the end of the arc-shaped abutment rod and the fixed plate. A stop plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the storage bin. The stop plate selectively engages with the two arc-shaped abutment rods.
[0012] Furthermore, the loosening assembly also includes a push plate fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the storage hopper, an electric push rod fixedly installed on the side wall of the storage tank, and a silicone rubber buffer block fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, the silicone rubber buffer block selectively engaging with the push plate in a compression fit.
[0013] Furthermore, a number of insert plates are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cover frame, and a number of limiting frames are fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the storage tank, with the insert plates respectively matching the inner holes of the limiting frames.
[0014] Furthermore, a traction ring is fixedly connected to the top of the storage bin.
[0015] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank.
[0016] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0017] This invention features a suspended storage assembly that suspends the storage bin within the storage tank. A fan ventilates the interior of the storage tank. Because the storage bin has a mesh-like perforated structure, air can easily pass through the camellia seeds inside, making full contact with them and carrying away moisture and heat. Therefore, the fan can be used to expel the moisture from the camellia seeds through the exhaust vent, effectively improving the overall ventilation performance of the storage tank, preventing mold growth on the camellia seeds, and ensuring the storage quality of the camellia seeds.
[0018] This invention incorporates a material loosening component. An electric push rod, via its telescopic end, drives a silicone rubber buffer block to rapidly impact and push a push plate, causing the storage bin to swing rapidly. The elastic force of an arc-shaped pressure spring then pushes a stop plate, causing the storage bin to quickly swing back to its original position. This swinging vibration of the storage bin allows the camellia seeds inside to loosen slowly, preventing clumping and improving the rate of moisture removal from the seeds, thus facilitating subsequent transportation and processing.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0027] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 4 A storage tank for camellia seeds produced by the water method of tea oil production includes: a storage tank 1 and a storage bin 2. The storage bin 2 is set with a mesh hollow structure. A traction ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage bin 2. A support frame 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1. A suspended storage component is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1.
[0028] Specifically, storage bin 2 uses 304 stainless steel woven mesh with regular hexagonal mesh openings, side length 8mm, wire diameter 1.2mm, and a perforation rate of 60%, which ensures ventilation while preventing camellia seeds from leaking out (it is necessary to first screen rapeseed of suitable particle size, or customize the mesh diameter and perforation rate of storage bin 2).
[0029] Specifically, by fixing the traction rope of the lifting tool or equipment to the traction ring 17, the storage bin 2 can be lifted to complete the installation and separation of the storage bin 2 from the storage tank 1; the support frame 18 can keep the storage tank 1 away from the ground and maintain the humidity balance of the storage tank 1.
[0030] The suspended storage assembly includes two vertical guide rails 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The outer peripheral wall of the storage bin 2 is rotatably connected to a lifting frame 4 via an annular bearing. The two ends of the lifting frame 4 are respectively slidably engaged with the two vertical guide rails 3. A cover frame 5 is movably connected to the top of the storage tank 1. Several insert plates 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover frame 5. Several limiting frames 16 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the storage tank 1. Several insert plates 15 are respectively matched with the inner holes of several limiting frames 16. A fan 6 is fixedly installed at the top of the cover frame 5. The fan 6 adopts a CF-11 small multi-blade centrifugal fan. Several exhaust ports 7 are opened at the lower part of the side wall of the storage tank 1.
[0031] Specifically, the air outlet of the blower 6 faces downwards, directly opposite the center area at the top of the storage silo 2, with an outlet diameter of 150mm; the exhaust outlets 7 are evenly distributed around the side wall of the storage tank 1, with a total of 4 outlets, each with a diameter of 80mm and a spacing of 200mm, forming a top-in, bottom-out directional airflow, and the airflow speed is adjusted by the blower power (1.2-2.5m / s).
[0032] Specifically, when the cover frame 5 is connected and fixed to the top of the storage tank 1, it is only necessary to match and align the several insert plates 15 on the cover frame 5 with the several limiting frames 16 on the storage tank 1.
[0033] Specifically, a rubber sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the cover frame 5 and the top of the storage tank 1. After the insert plate 15 is inserted into the limiting frame 16, the sealing ring is compressed by 3mm, so as to achieve airflow guidance and sealing when the storage tank 1 is ventilated.
[0034] Connect the two ends of the lifting frame 4 to the two vertical guide rails 3 respectively, so that the lifting frame 4 and the storage bin 2 can slide into the storage tank 1. Place the camellia seeds into the storage bin 2, so that the storage bin 2 is suspended in the storage tank 1. Then fix the cover frame 5 to the top of the storage tank 1 and start the fan 6 to ventilate the storage tank 1. Since the storage bin 2 has a mesh hollow structure, the air can pass through the camellia seeds in the storage bin 2 smoothly and make full contact with the camellia seeds, taking away the moisture and heat. Therefore, the fan 6 can be used to discharge the moisture of the camellia seeds through the exhaust port 7, effectively improving the overall ventilation performance of the storage tank 1, preventing the camellia seeds from becoming moldy, and ensuring the storage quality of the camellia seeds.
[0035] A loosening assembly is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner wall of storage tank 1. The loosening assembly includes two fixed plates 8 fixedly connected to the inner wall of storage tank 1. An arc-shaped abutment rod 9 is slidably connected through each of the two fixed plates 8. An arc-shaped pressure spring 10 is fixedly connected between the end of the arc-shaped abutment rod 9 and the fixed plate 8. A abutment plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of storage bin 2. The abutment plate 11 selectively presses against the two arc-shaped abutment rods 9. The loosening assembly also includes a push plate 12 fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of storage bin 2. An electric push rod 13 is fixedly installed on the side wall of storage tank 1. A silicone rubber buffer block 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 13. The silicone rubber buffer block 14 selectively presses against the push plate 12.
[0036] Specifically, the electric push rod 13 adopts the Sinda electric push rod, with a maximum pushing speed of 90mm / s and a maximum thrust of 150kg. The stroke can be customized within the range of 10-2500MM. The maximum pushing speed and maximum thrust of the electric push rod 13 can ensure that the silicone rubber buffer block 14 can quickly reset after impacting and pushing the push plate 12, and can fully push the storage bin 2 to avoid affecting the vibration operation of the storage bin 2.
[0037] Specifically, the electric push rod 13 operates in a cycle of 25 seconds (extend for 3.5 seconds, retract for 1.5 seconds, and stop for 20 seconds), with a telescopic stroke of 100mm; the arc-shaped pressure spring 10 has an elastic coefficient of 50N / mm, and the arc-shaped stop rod 9 has an arc of 60°, ensuring that the swing angle of the storage bin 2 is ±15°.
[0038] The silicone rubber buffer block 14 is driven by the telescopic end of the electric push rod 13 to quickly impact and push the push plate 12, causing the storage bin 2 to swing rapidly. During the rapid swing of the storage bin 2, the abutment plate 11 will also press and cooperate with the two arc-shaped abutment rods 9, and the elastic force of the compressed arc-shaped pressure spring 10 will push the abutment plate 11, so that the storage bin 2 swings and resets quickly, thereby realizing the swing vibration of the storage bin 2. This allows the camellia seeds in the storage bin 2 to loosen slowly, avoid the camellia seeds from clumping, and improve the moisture discharge rate of the camellia seeds, which is convenient for the subsequent transportation and processing of the camellia seeds.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0040] In use, first connect the two ends of the lifting frame 4 to the two vertical guide rails 3 respectively, so that the lifting frame 4 and the storage bin 2 can slide into the storage tank 1. Place the camellia seeds into the storage bin 2, so that the storage bin 2 can be suspended in the storage tank 1. Then fix the cover frame 5 to the top of the storage tank 1 and start the fan 6. The fan 6 ventilates the storage tank 1. Since the storage bin 2 has a mesh hollow structure, the air can pass through the camellia seeds in the storage bin 2 smoothly and make full contact with the camellia seeds, taking away the moisture and heat. Therefore, the fan 6 can be used to discharge the moisture of the camellia seeds through the exhaust port 7, effectively improving the overall ventilation performance of the storage tank 1.
[0041] During the process of the storage bin 2 being suspended in the storage tank 1, the electric push rod 13 can be controlled to operate periodically. The extension end of the electric push rod 13 drives the silicone rubber buffer block 14 to quickly impact and push the push plate 12, causing the storage bin 2 to swing rapidly. During the rapid swing of the storage bin 2, the abutment plate 11 will also press and cooperate with the two arc-shaped abutment rods 9, and use the elastic force of the compressed arc-shaped pressure spring 10 to push the abutment plate 11, so that the storage bin 2 swings back quickly, thereby realizing the swing vibration of the storage bin 2, so that the camellia seeds in the storage bin 2 can be slowly loosened and the camellia seeds can be prevented from clumping.
[0042] 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 the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
