[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a fertilizer production silo for storing fertilizer and preventing it from deteriorating or becoming ineffective due to the influence of the external environment.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fertilizer production silo includes a silo body 1 with a receiving cavity 11 and a guide pipe 2 vertically arranged on one side of the silo body 1. The receiving cavity 11 is used to contain fertilizer. The bottom of the silo body 1 is provided with a first slot 12 connecting the receiving cavity 11 and the guide pipe 2, and the top of the silo body 1 is provided with a second slot 13 connecting the receiving cavity 11 and the guide pipe 2. A movable push block 3 is provided in the first slot 12. The silo body 1 is also provided with a drive assembly 4 that is pulsatorically connected to the push block 3. The drive assembly 4 drives the push block 3 to reciprocate within the first slot 12 and move closer to or away from the guide pipe 2. When the push block 3 reciprocates, it pushes the fertilizer falling into the first slot 12 into the silo body 1. At the bottom of the feed pipe 2, the hopper body 1 is also provided with an air inlet 14 that connects the accommodating cavity 11 with the external environment. The air inlet 14 is located above the second slot 13. The feed pipe 2 is provided with a rotatable conveying shaft 21 and a conveying motor 22 that is connected to the conveying shaft 21. The conveying shaft 21 is vertically arranged in the feed pipe 2 and a conveying blade 23 is provided on the conveying shaft 21. When the conveying motor 22 drives the conveying shaft 21 to rotate, it drives the conveying blade 23 to rotate and conveys the fertilizer at the bottom of the feed pipe 2 to the top of the feed pipe 2. After the fertilizer reaches the top of the feed pipe 2, it passes through the second slot 13 and returns to the accommodating cavity 11.
[0024] Specifically, the working process of the fertilizer production silo provided in this embodiment is as follows: fertilizer is loaded into the accommodating cavity 11. When it is necessary to turn the fertilizer in the silo 1 over, the drive assembly 4 and the conveying motor 22 are turned on respectively. The drive assembly 4 drives the pusher block 3 to move back and forth in the first slot 12 to push the fertilizer at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 into the bottom of the guide pipe 2 along the first slot 12. At the same time, the conveying motor 22 drives the conveying shaft 21 to rotate, which drives the conveying blade 23 to rotate and convey the fertilizer at the bottom of the guide pipe 2 to the top of the guide pipe 2. During the process of conveying the fertilizer, the conveying blade 23 stirs the fertilizer to break up the clumps of fertilizer. After the fertilizer reaches the top of the guide pipe 2, it returns to the accommodating cavity 11 along the second slot 13. When the fertilizer falls from the second slot 13, it mixes with the air entering the accommodating cavity 11 from the air inlet 14, thereby enhancing the reproduction of beneficial bacteria. The fertilizer production silo provided in this embodiment can prevent the fertilizer from accumulating and causing a decrease in fertilizer efficiency. The reciprocating movement of the pusher block 3 and the rotation of the conveying blade 23 ensure that the fertilizer in the silo is fully stirred and comes into contact with air, which helps to ensure the fertilizer efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the hopper 1 is provided with a guide surface 15. The height of the end of the guide surface 15 near the first slot 12 is lower than the height of the end of the guide surface 15 away from the first slot 12. The guide surface 15 is used to guide the fertilizer in the receiving cavity 11 to move towards the first slot 12, so that when the drive component 4 drives the push block 3 to move back and forth, the fertilizer in the receiving cavity 11 will concentrate towards the first slot 12 under the action of its own gravity, avoiding some fertilizer from remaining in the hopper 1 and forming clumps.
[0026] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a crank 42 disposed at the output end of the drive motor 41, and a rocker arm 43 rotatably connected to the crank 42. The end of the rocker arm 43 away from the crank 42 is rotatably connected to the push block 3. The drive motor 41 drives the crank 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the rocker arm 43 to rotate, thereby driving the push block 3 to reciprocate within the first slot 12, ensuring that the push block 3 moves continuously and smoothly within the first slot 12.
[0027] In this embodiment, the push block 3 is provided with a clearance groove 31, which is located on the side of the push block 3 that clamps the guide tube 2. The clearance groove 31 on the push block 3 is used to avoid the conveying blade 23, so as to prevent the push block 3 from colliding with the conveying blade 23 when it moves towards the guide tube 2, causing the conveying blade 23 to deform or break.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the hopper 1 is also equipped with a guide plate 16, which is located near the second slot 13 and directly below the air inlet 14. As the fertilizer moves from the top of the guide pipe 2 along the second slot 13 towards the receiving trough, it first falls onto the guide plate 16 and then slides down along it, increasing the time the fertilizer remains at the top of the receiving cavity 11, allowing it to fully contact the air entering the receiving cavity 11 from the air inlet 14.
[0029] In detail, the chamber 1 is also equipped with an air intake fan 5, the air intake fan 5 blowing in the direction of the air intake hole 14. The air intake fan 5 is used to accelerate the air from the outside environment through the air intake hole 14 into the receiving cavity 11, so as to blow sufficient air into the receiving cavity 11 to contact the fertilizer in the receiving cavity 11, and ensure that the oxygen entering the receiving cavity 11 meets the needs of beneficial bacteria for reproduction.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The silo body 1 is also equipped with a connected feed hopper 6 and feed inlet 17, with the feed inlet 17 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The feed hopper 6 on the silo body 1 is used to guide the fertilizer through the feed inlet 17 during the process of pouring fertilizer into the receiving cavity 11, preventing the fertilizer from falling outside the silo body 1 and causing product loss. When the feed hopper 6 is open, it connects the silo body 1 with the external environment, so as to play a role in depressurization during the process of the air intake fan 5 introducing air into the silo body 1.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feed pipe 2 is also provided with a through discharge port 24, the height of which is located between the first slot 12 and the second slot 13. Positioning the discharge port 24 between the first slot 12 and the second slot 13 allows fertilizer being conveyed along the feed pipe 2 to pass through the discharge port 24 and exit the feed pipe 2 when the discharge port 24 is open, preventing it from moving to the second slot 13. When the discharge port 24 is closed, the fertilizer can be conveyed along the guide plate 16 from the first slot 12 to the second slot 13, facilitating the removal of fertilizer from the silo 1 or the mixing of fertilizer as needed.
[0032] Specifically, the feed pipe 2 is also equipped with a movable door plate 25, which covers the opening of the discharge port 24. The discharge port 24 can be opened or closed by moving the door plate 25, which is simple to operate and convenient for use in fertilizer production silos.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that 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 preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
