Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of raw material homogenization silos for cement production, specifically to a reinforcement structure for a cement raw material homogenization silo and a cement raw material homogenization silo. Background Technology
[0002] Raw meal homogenization silos primarily utilize the "funnel effect" (or rat hole effect) generated by air agitation and gravity to mix raw meal powder by cutting through as many layers of material as possible as possible as it falls downwards. Simultaneously, under the influence of different fluidizing air masses, varying degrees of fluidization and expansion occur along the parallel material surface within the silo, with some areas unloading and others fluidizing, thus creating a radial inclination of the material surface within the silo for radial mixing and homogenization. Raw meal homogenization silos mainly employ reinforced concrete circular silo structures, which generally consist of six parts: the superstructure, roof, walls, floor, supporting structure, and foundation. Existing homogenization silos use a diagonal unloading method, meaning only two unloading ports are used simultaneously, unloading continuously for 15 minutes before switching to the next set of unloading ports, following a specific pattern. Figure 1 The materials are unloaded sequentially as shown. Because of the unloading at different locations, uneven stress occurs on the surface of the homogenization silo, particularly resulting in significant bending forces at certain cross-sections (see reference). Figure 2 This can negatively impact the overall structural stability of the homogenization tank. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a reinforcement structure for a cement raw material homogenization silo, and a cement raw material homogenization silo including the reinforcement structure. The reinforcement structure for the cement raw material homogenization silo achieves the effect of local reinforcement of the homogenization silo by setting reinforcing joints and connecting parts. In this way, when the existing homogenization silo is unloaded at different positions, a large reverse bending force can be avoided on the cross section of the homogenization silo.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A reinforcement structure for a cement raw material homogenization silo, comprising:
[0006] Reinforcing sections, comprising multiple sections evenly distributed circumferentially along the interior of the silo, each section extending alternately along the inner and outer walls of the silo to form a corrugated structure; and
[0007] A connector, which is at least one set distributed radially along the interior of the silo, is used to connect multiple reinforcing sections to bring the reinforcing sections into a tensioned state.
[0008] Preferably, the plurality of the reinforcing sections are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the silo.
[0009] Preferably, the reinforcing section includes a starting portion disposed inside the silo, an extension section extending alternately from the starting portion along the inner and outer walls of the silo, and a termination portion disposed at the end of the extension section.
[0010] Preferably, both the starting part and the ending part are located inside the silo.
[0011] Preferably, the extension segment extends between the starting portion and the ending portion to form an M-shaped structure.
[0012] Preferably, the extension section includes several rods that extend alternately along the inner and outer walls of the silo and are connected end to end to each other, as well as connectors provided at the ends of adjacent rods.
[0013] Preferably, the rods at both ends of the same connector are arranged symmetrically along the radial direction of the silo, and the connection point between the connector and the rod extends outward along the extension line of the rod to intersect the radial line of the silo.
[0014] Preferably, each set of the connectors includes a plurality of steel bars connected between at least two adjacent reinforcing sections distributed circumferentially and distributed along the circumference of the silo, with the ends of the two adjacent steel bars located on the rod of the same reinforcing section.
[0015] Preferably, the reinforcing steel is prestressed steel.
[0016] A cement raw material homogenization silo, wherein the inner side of the silo of the homogenization silo is provided with the aforementioned reinforcement structure.
[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. In this utility model, the aforementioned reinforcing sections and connecting parts are provided at the corresponding positions of the homogenization silo section. Multiple reinforcing sections are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner and outer walls of the silo and located at the unloading boundary. They are connected by the connecting parts to form a whole. Due to the presence of the connecting parts, the multiple reinforcing sections are in a tensioned state, which can play a role in local reinforcement of the homogenization silo. By reinforcing the unloading boundary, the stress in the silo can be made more uniform, which is conducive to reducing cracks. In this way, when the existing homogenization silo is unloaded at different positions, a large reverse bending force can be avoided on the homogenization silo section, and uneven stress on the homogenization silo can be prevented.

[0025] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions: (Refer to...) Figure 1 A reinforcement structure for a cement raw material homogenization silo includes reinforcing sections 20 and connecting members 30. Multiple reinforcing sections 20 are evenly distributed circumferentially within the silo 10. Each reinforcing section extends alternately along the inner and outer walls of the silo 10 to form a corrugated structure. The reinforcing sections 20 are positioned at the unloading boundary. Furthermore, at least one set of connecting members is provided; specifically, in this embodiment, two sets of connecting members are provided, radially spaced within the silo 10, to connect the multiple reinforcing sections 20 and keep them under tension, thus ensuring the multiple reinforcing sections are properly connected. Section 20 forms a tensioned integral structure. In use, the aforementioned reinforcing sections and connectors are installed at the corresponding positions of the homogenization silo section sections. Multiple reinforcing sections are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner and outer walls of the silo and located at the unloading boundary. They are connected by connectors to form an integral whole. Since multiple reinforcing sections are in a tensioned state, the unloading boundary of the silo can be strengthened, which can play a role in local reinforcement of the homogenization silo. By reinforcing the unloading boundary, the stress in the silo can be made more uniform, which is conducive to reducing cracks. In this way, when the existing homogenization silo unloads at different positions, it can avoid the formation of large reverse bending forces on the homogenization silo section sections, which would lead to uneven stress on the homogenization silo.
[0027] It should be noted that the reinforcing section 20 is placed inside the concrete wall of the silo 10, specifically between the inner and outer walls of the silo. During formwork erection, the reinforcing section 20 is placed inside the template, and the connector passes through the reinforcing section. In this way, the reinforcing section and the connector can be fixed between the inner and outer walls of the silo through the template.
[0028] Reference Figure 2As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the multiple reinforcing sections 20 are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the silo 10. That is, the multiple reinforcing sections 20 in this embodiment are located in the same horizontal plane of the silo. This can strengthen the homogenization silo structure in the same cross section, thereby strengthening the structure at the corresponding position of the homogenization silo section and avoiding the problem of uneven stress on the homogenization silo caused by the unloading of materials in different sections.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the reinforcing section 20 includes a starting part 210, an extension section 220, and a terminating part 230. The starting part 210 is located on the inner side of the silo 10. The extension section 220 starts from the starting part and extends alternately along the inner and outer walls of the silo 10. The terminating part 230 is located at the end of the extension section. In this embodiment, both the starting part 210 and the terminating part 230 are located on the inner side of the silo 10. Thus, in this embodiment, the reinforcing section 20 contacts the inner side of the silo 10 through the starting part 210 and the terminating part 230.
[0030] Of course, the starting part 210 and the ending part 230 are not limited to being located on the inner side of the silo 10. The starting part 210 and the ending part 230 can also be located on the inner and outer sides of the silo 10, respectively. Therefore, the positions of the two on the inner and outer walls of the silo will not be described in detail.
[0031] In this embodiment, the extension segment 220 extends between the starting portion 210 and the ending portion 230 to form an M-shaped structure, that is, the extension segment 220 extends to form four line segments, which are connected end to end to form an M-shaped structure. It should also be noted that the shape of the extension segment 220 is not limited to the aforementioned M-shaped structure, that is, the extension segment can extend to form more than four line segments as needed, and these line segments extend along the inner and outer walls of the silo to form a corrugated structure, so that the structural strength of the silo can be strengthened by using multiple line segments.
[0032] Furthermore, the extension section 220 includes rods 221 and connectors 222. The number of rods 221 is several. Specifically, in this embodiment, since the extension section 220 extends to form an M-shaped structure, the number of rods 221 in this embodiment is four. The four rods 221 extend alternately along the inner and outer walls of the silo 10, and adjacent rods 221 are connected end to end. The connectors 222 serve to connect two adjacent rods 221. In use, the connectors 222 are set at the ends of two adjacent rods.
[0033] Furthermore, regarding the M-shaped extension section 220 in this embodiment, the rods 221 at both ends of the same connecting body 222 are symmetrically arranged radially along the silo 10, and the connection point between the connecting body 222 and the rod 221 intersects the radial line of the silo 10 along the extension line of the rod 221 extending outward. In this way, the rods 221 in the extension section 220 form a structure inclined to the radial direction of the silo between the inner and outer walls of the silo 10. This allows the reinforcing section 20 to be stably placed between the inner and outer walls of the silo, thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the silo during unloading.
[0034] In some embodiments, each set of connectors 30 includes a plurality of reinforcing bars, wherein the reinforcing bars in this embodiment are prestressed reinforcing bars, and the plurality of reinforcing bars are connected between at least two adjacent reinforcing sections 20 distributed circumferentially. The plurality of reinforcing bars are arranged sequentially to form a ring structure distributed circumferentially along the silo 10. It should be noted that each reinforcing bar can span two adjacent reinforcing sections 20 or span more than two adjacent reinforcing sections 20. The ends of two adjacent reinforcing bars are located on the rod 221 of the same reinforcing section 20. In this way, the plurality of reinforcing bars form a ring along the reinforcing section. Since each pair of adjacent reinforcing bars shares a reinforcing section, the circumferential fixing effect of the plurality of reinforcing sections can be effectively improved. At the same time, since the prestressed reinforcing bars can keep the rod 221 of the reinforcing section 20 under tension during connection, the preset tension force can be used to counteract the local back bending force that may exist in the homogenization silo during unloading, and avoid local deformation of the homogenization silo surface.
[0035] This utility model also provides a cement raw material homogenization silo. The inner side of the silo 10 of the homogenization silo is provided with the aforementioned reinforcement structure. In this way, the corresponding positions of the section cross-section of the homogenization silo are reinforced by the aforementioned reinforcement structure, so as to avoid the formation of a reverse bending force on the surface of the homogenization silo during the unloading of materials in sections, which would cause uneven stress on the homogenization silo.
[0036] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
