Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of grain storage, and in particular to a shallow circular silo grain feeding device that can uniformly feed grain. Background Technology

[0002] Shallow round silos are widely used storage facilities in the grain storage field. They are characterized by their large diameter and relatively low height, enabling large-capacity grain storage and facilitating mechanized operations.

[0003] The shallow circular silo is equipped with a feed inlet, a chute, and a herringbone chute. The feed inlet is located on the top of the silo. The chute and the herringbone chute are fixedly installed inside the silo. One end of the chute is connected to the feed inlet, and the other end is connected to the herringbone chute. The herringbone chute includes two connected distribution troughs. Grain in the chute is fed through the two distribution troughs. During the feeding process, the flow rate of grain in the two distribution troughs is uneven, resulting in uneven grain level in the silo and causing silo imbalance. Silo imbalance can easily cause local overload of the silo structure, affecting the structural stability and service life of the shallow circular silo.

[0004] Therefore, a shallow circular silo feeding device that can uniformly feed grain is needed to solve the problem of uneven grain distribution in the silo caused by inconsistent grain flow on both sides of the herringbone chute. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to actively adjust the grain flow rate on both sides of the herringbone chute and achieve a balance in grain flow rate on both sides, this application provides a shallow circular silo grain feeding device that can uniformly feed grain.

[0006] This application provides a shallow circular silo grain feeding device capable of uniform feeding, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A shallow circular silo feeding device for uniform feeding includes a device body, which includes a silo body, a chute, and a chute assembly. The chute and chute assembly are installed in the silo body. The chute assembly includes a distribution trough structure that communicates with the chute. The chute is equipped with a baffle and a locking assembly. The baffle can slide down along the height of the silo body to adjust the size of the feed opening at one end of the distribution trough structure. The locking assembly is used to lock and fix the baffle.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a baffle that can slide along the height of the silo is installed on the chute, and a locking assembly is used to adjust the size of the inlet of the material distribution trough structure. When the baffle moves up and down, the opening size at the connection between the chute and the material distribution trough structure can be changed, thereby controlling the flow rate of material entering the material distribution trough structure.

[0009] Optionally, the device body can be detachably fitted with a limiting plate, and a channel for limiting material flow is formed between the limiting plate and the inner wall of the material distribution trough structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting plate is installed on the inner wall of the material distribution trough structure where the flow rate is too fast. A relatively narrow channel is formed between the limiting plate and the inner wall of the material distribution trough structure. When the material flows through this channel, the flow rate is limited by the channel width, which can further precisely limit the material flow rate.

[0011] Optionally, the device body may be detachably equipped with an adjustment plate for blocking materials. The adjustment plate may slide along the length of the material distribution trough structure to allow materials to overflow from different positions of the material distribution trough structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting plate blocks the material, and the material overflows and scatters to the bottom of the silo at that location, changing the flow path of the material. As the adjusting plate slides and adjusts its position along the length of the material distribution trough structure, the material overflows from different positions of the material distribution trough structure.

[0013] Optionally, the adjusting plate includes a blocking part and a fixing part forming a certain angle. The blocking part is used to block the material in the material distribution trough structure, and the fixing part is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the material distribution trough structure after the adjusting plate (3) is slidably adjusted.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the blocking part blocks the material in the material distribution trough structure, and the fixing part is fixed to the bottom surface of the material distribution trough structure, ensuring that the adjusting plate does not shift under the impact of the material, so that the blocking part can stably block the material and further promote the uniform distribution of the material in the silo.

[0015] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a locking member. The first connecting plate is fixedly installed on the chute, the second connecting plate is fixedly installed on the baffle, and the locking member is detachably connected to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to fix the baffle to the chute.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the baffle is adjusted to a suitable position, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are fixed by locking components, thereby fixing the position of the baffle and preventing the baffle from shifting under material impact or vibration. This allows for precise control of the size of the feed opening at one end of the material distribution trough structure, ensuring the uniformity of the feed.

[0017] Optionally, the device body is fixedly equipped with a material distribution pipe, the material distribution trough structure is located inside the material distribution pipe, and the silo body is fixedly equipped with a lifting rod for hoisting the material distribution pipe.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the hoist can stably suspend the distribution pipe in the silo body, so that the material in the distribution pipe and the distribution trough structure is suspended above the silo body, ensuring the stability of the device structure and the normal operation of material distribution.

[0019] Optionally, the device body is equipped with a guide pipe, which is located on the inner side wall of the silo and communicates with the distribution pipe. The guide pipe is used to guide the material in the distribution pipe toward the bottom of the silo.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed pipe is located on the inner side wall of the silo, which can guide the material in the feed pipe to the bottom of the silo, realize the feeding of material at the bottom of the silo, and help the material to be distributed more evenly in the silo.

[0021] Optionally, the device body is provided with a discharge port communicating with the outside of the silo, and a discharge valve is provided at the discharge port.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when unloading is required, the unloading valve is opened, and the material in the silo flows out from the outlet under the action of gravity, which can realize the discharge of material from the silo body, and the unloading process can be controlled by the unloading valve.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The chute is equipped with a sliding baffle and locking assembly, which can adjust the size of the feed opening at the feed end of the material distribution chute structure, and the feed rate of the material distribution chute structure can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs;

[0025] 2. The device body is equipped with a limiting plate, which forms a channel with the inner wall of the material distribution trough to limit the material flow, thereby further controlling the material flow and improving the uniformity of feeding;

[0026] 3. The position of the adjusting plate can be adjusted along the length of the material distribution trough structure, and the material overflows from different positions of the material distribution trough structure, which can change the material distribution ratio in different areas of the silo.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Example:

[0034] A shallow circular silo grain feeding device capable of uniform feeding, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device includes a main body 1, which comprises a hopper 111, a chute 121, and a chute assembly 131. The top of the hopper 111 has an inlet 112. The chute 121 is fixedly installed inside the hopper 111, and its top end communicates with the inlet 112 to guide materials into the hopper 111. Figure 3 The chute assembly 131 includes two connected distribution trough structures 133. The connection points between the chute 121 and the two distribution trough structures 133 are opposite to each other. The two distribution trough structures 133 are located on both sides of the chute 121. After being guided by the chute 121, the material enters the chute assembly 131 and then enters the two distribution pipes 132. A baffle 122 and a locking assembly 123 are installed at the bottom of the chute 121. The baffle 122 can be adjusted up and down along the height of the silo body 111. After adjustment, it is fixed to the chute 121 by the locking assembly 123. There are two baffles 122 located at the feeding end of the two distribution trough structures 133. The position of the baffle 122 is adjusted up and down according to the feeding amount, thereby adjusting the size of the trough opening at the feeding end of the distribution trough structure 133 to ensure that the material flow of the two distribution trough structures 133 remains uniform.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The locking assembly 123 includes a first connecting plate 124, a second connecting plate 125, and a locking member 126. The first connecting plate 124 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chute 121 by welding, and the second connecting plate 125 is fixedly installed at the top of the baffle 122 by welding. In this embodiment, the locking member 126 is a long bolt. The first connecting plate 124 has a through hole for the locking member 126 to pass through, and the second connecting plate 125 has a threaded hole. After the locking member 126 passes through the first connecting plate 124, it is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. By adjusting the distance between the first connecting plate 124 and the second connecting plate 125, the baffle 122 can slide up and down along the height direction of the chamber 111. After the adjustment is completed, the locking member 126 is passed through the first connecting plate 124 and locked with the threaded hole on the second connecting plate 125, thus fixing the baffle 122 on the chute 121.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A material distribution pipe 132 is fixedly installed inside the silo body 111. A material distribution trough structure 133 is set inside the material distribution pipe 132. The material distribution pipe 132 is set at an inclination. Multiple hanging rods 113 are set inside the silo body 111. One end of the hanging rod 113 is fixedly connected to the top of the silo body 111, and the other end is fixedly connected to the material distribution pipe 132. Multiple hanging rods 113 are set and evenly distributed along the length of the material distribution pipe 132. A material guide pipe 114 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the silo body 111. The material guide pipe 114 is connected to the end of the material distribution pipe 132 away from the chute 121. The bottom end of the material guide pipe 114 is set towards the bottom of the silo body 111, thereby guiding the material to the bottom of the silo body 111.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A limiting plate 2 is installed on the distribution pipe 132 by means of a threaded connection. If the material flow rate in one of the distribution pipes 132 is too fast, the limiting plate 2 is installed in the corresponding area of ​​the distribution trough structure 133. A channel is formed between the limiting plate 2 and the inner wall of the distribution trough structure 133. The width of the channel is smaller than the width of the trough structure 133. When the material passes through the channel, the flow rate of the material is limited by the width of the channel, thereby limiting the flow rate of the material in the distribution pipe 132.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3An adjusting plate 3 is installed on the distributing pipe 132 via a threaded connection. The adjusting plate 3 is detachably installed on the distributing pipe 132 and can slide along the bottom of the distributing trough structure 133. The position of the adjusting plate 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the distribution of materials in the silo 111 to ensure that the materials are evenly distributed in the silo 111. The adjusting plate 3 includes a fixing part 311 and a blocking part 312, which are integrally formed and form a certain angle between them. A threaded connector is installed on the adjusting plate 3. A threaded hole is provided on 311, and an oblong hole is provided on the distribution pipe 132. The oblong hole extends along the length of the distribution pipe 132. The threaded connector can pass through the oblong hole and engage with the threaded hole to fix the adjusting plate 3 on the distribution pipe 132. When the position of the adjusting plate 3 needs to be adjusted, the threaded connector is loosened, and the adjusting plate 3 is pushed along the length of the distribution pipe 132. After adjusting to the target position, the threaded connector is tightened again to complete the fixation. The blocking part 312 is kept vertically in the distribution trough structure 133 to block the material and further adjust the material precisely.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The bottom of the silo 111 is provided with a discharge port 115, which is connected to the outside. A discharge valve 116 is provided at the discharge port 115. When unloading is required, the discharge valve 116 is opened, and the material in the silo flows out from the discharge port 115 under the action of gravity. After unloading is completed, the discharge valve 116 is closed. A platform 4 and a step 5 are provided outside the silo 111. The platform 4 and the step 5 are connected. The staff can enter the platform 4 through the step 5 to easily check the material in the silo 111.

[0040] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the shallow round silo grain feeding device is working, external materials enter through the feed inlet 112 at the top of the silo body 111 and are guided by the chute 121 inside the silo to the chute assembly 131 below. In order to ensure that the material flow in the two distribution trough structures 133 is uniform, the baffle 122 at the bottom of the chute 121 can be adjusted up and down along the height of the silo body 111 to change the size of the trough opening at the feeding end of the distribution trough structure 133. The material then enters the distribution trough structure 133 inside the distribution pipe 132. If there is too much material in the distribution pipe 132, the material flow can be limited through the channel formed by the limiting plate 2. At the same time, the adjusting plate 3 can be slid along the length of the distribution trough structure 133 to feed the material evenly. Finally, the material is guided to the bottom of the silo body 111 through the guide pipe 114. When unloading, the unloading valve 116 at the discharge port 115 is opened, and the material flows out under the action of gravity. After unloading is completed, the unloading valve 116 is closed.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
