Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed storage bin technology, specifically a feed storage bin with a material level monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern large-scale livestock farming, feed storage silos are key equipment for storing feed, and the accuracy and timeliness of feed level monitoring are crucial for the efficient operation of livestock production. Accurately knowing feed inventory helps livestock enterprises to rationally plan feed procurement, avoid interruptions in breeding due to feed shortages, and also prevent excessive feed stockpiling from causing capital occupation and storage losses.

[0003] According to announcement number CN 222006129 U, a feed storage bin is provided. The device includes a bin body with an inlet and an outlet. Two partitions are provided inside the bin body, dividing the internal space into upper, middle, and lower storage spaces, in which feed is stored. A stirring shaft is provided inside the bin body, passing through the two partitions. Stirring blades are provided on the stirring shaft, located within the storage spaces. When the stirring shaft rotates, the stirring blades agitate the stored feed.

[0004] The device divides the silo into multiple storage spaces using partitions, allowing feed to be distributed in different spaces and preventing excessive packing and mold growth. Furthermore, the stirring blades on the stirring shaft periodically agitate the feed within the silo, resulting in more even distribution and improved storage. However, the device lacks a monitoring mechanism for the feed within the silo, making it impossible to monitor the feed height on both sides in a timely manner. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed storage bin with a material level monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a feed storage bin with a material level monitoring device, comprising a bin body, a support leg fixedly connected to the surface of the bin body, a lifting mechanism provided at the top of the bin body, and a striking mechanism provided near the surface at the top of the bin body. The lifting mechanism includes a protective box, which is fixedly connected to the top of the grain silo body near the surface. The protective box has ventilation holes on its front and rear sides. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the grain silo body near the surface. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. A disc is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding rod. An insulating plate is fixedly connected to the top right side of the lifting plate. A first fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod near the top end. Guide rods are symmetrically arranged at the top front and rear of the first fixing plate. A second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top ends of the two guide rods. A spring is sleeved between the first and second fixing plates on the surfaces of the two guide rods.

[0007] Preferably, the top edge of the grain silo body has a hole that matches the sliding rod, and the sliding rod is connected to the hole by sliding up and down through the surface of the sliding rod. The disc is located inside the grain silo body near the top.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting ring limits the sliding rod to prevent it from sliding out of the sliding sleeve, and the bottom ends of the two guide rods are fixedly connected to the top of the grain silo body near the edge.

[0009] Preferably, the first fixing plate has holes on the front and rear sides of its top that match the guide rod, and the first fixing plate is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod through the holes. The top end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixing plate, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the first fixing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the striking mechanism includes a third fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to the top of the grain silo body near the right side of the inner wall of the protective box. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the third fixed plate, and a striking block is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the right side of the protective box. Rotary shafts are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame. Limit grooves are formed on the surface of the rotating shafts. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame. A power supply body is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective box. A steel pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the left side of the third fixing plate and the left side of the inner wall of the protective box are both provided with holes that match the output shaft of the servo motor, and the surface of the output shaft of the servo motor passes through and is rotatably connected to the hole.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting plate is located in the limiting groove, so that after the striking block strikes the steel pipe, the limiting block and the limiting groove reset the steel pipe. The anode of the servo motor is connected to the cathode of the power supply body through a wire, and the cathode of the servo motor is connected to the insulation through a wire. The rising plate drives the insulation plate to rise, so that the other end of the motor comes into contact with the anode of the power supply body and is energized.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feed storage bin with a material level monitoring device, which has the following beneficial effects: This feed storage silo with a material level monitoring device features an intelligent linkage design between the rising mechanism and the striking mechanism. When the feed level in the silo rises, it causes the rising plate and insulating plate to rise, creating a path between the servo motor and the power supply unit. The motor then starts and drives the striking block to strike the steel pipe, generating an alert signal. This linkage control method requires no additional manual operation, automatically triggering the alert function based on actual changes in the feed level. This improves the automation and intelligence level of the equipment, reduces manual intervention, and lowers labor intensity.

[0014] This feed storage silo with a material level monitoring device provides stable power to the servo motor. The rational circuit layout and insulation design ensure the safety and reliability of current transmission. When the insulation plate is not fully raised, the circuit is disconnected, preventing false triggering and motor idling. This saves energy, protects the motor and other circuit components, extends the equipment's lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a feed storage bin with a material level monitoring device, including a grain bin body 1, a support leg 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the grain bin body 1, a lifting mechanism 3 provided on the top of the grain bin body 1, and a striking mechanism 4 provided on the top of the grain bin body 1 near the surface. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a protective box 31, which is fixedly connected to the top of the grain silo body 1 near the surface. The protective box 31 has heat dissipation holes 32 on both the front and rear sides. A sliding sleeve 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the grain silo body 1 near the surface. A sliding rod 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 33. A disc 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 34. A limit ring 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 34. A lifting plate 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 34. An insulating plate 38 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the lifting plate 37. A first fixing plate 39 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 34 near the top. Guide rods 311 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the first fixing plate 39. A second fixing plate 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the two guide rods 311. A spring 313 is sleeved between the first fixing plate 39 and the second fixing plate 312 on the surface of the two guide rods 311.

[0020] The top edge of the grain silo body 1 has a hole that matches the slide bar 34, and the slide bar 34 is connected to the hole by sliding up and down through the surface of the slide bar 34. The disc 35 is located inside the grain silo body 1 near the top.

[0021] The limiting ring 36 limits the sliding rod 34 so that the sliding rod 34 will not slide out of the sliding sleeve 33. The bottom ends of the two guide rods 311 are fixedly connected to the top of the grain bin body 1 near the edge.

[0022] The first fixing plate 39 has holes on the front and rear sides of its top that match the guide rod 311. The first fixing plate 39 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 311 through the holes. The top end of the spring 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixing plate 312, and the bottom end of the spring 313 is fixedly connected to the top of the first fixing plate 39.

[0023] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, a striking mechanism 4 is obtained.

[0024] The striking mechanism 4 includes a third fixed plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the top of the grain silo body 1 near the right side of the inner wall of the protective box 31. A servo motor 42 is fixedly connected to the left side of the third fixed plate 41. A striking block 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 42. A fixed frame 44 is fixedly connected to the right side of the protective box 31. A rotating shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 44. A limit groove 46 is opened on the surface of the rotating shaft 45. A limit plate 47 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame 44. A power supply body 48 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective box 31. A steel pipe 49 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 45.

[0025] The left side of the third fixing plate 41 and the left side of the inner wall of the protective box 31 are both provided with holes that match the output shaft of the servo motor 42, and the surface of the output shaft of the servo motor 42 passes through and is rotatably connected to the hole.

[0026] The bottom of the limiting plate 47 is located in the limiting groove 46, so that after the striking block 43 strikes the steel pipe 49, the limiting block and the limiting groove 46 reset the steel pipe 49. The anode of the servo motor 42 is connected to the cathode of the power supply body 48 through a wire, and the cathode of the servo motor 42 is connected to the insulation through a wire. The rising plate 37 drives the insulation plate 38 to rise, so that the other end of the motor comes into contact with the anode of the power supply body 48 and is energized.

[0027] In actual operation, when this device is in use and the grain bin is not filled with feed or the feed level is low, the slide bar 34 is in a relatively low position under its own weight and the action of the spring 313. At this time, the disc 35 at the bottom of the slide bar 34 is located inside the grain bin near the bottom, and the rising plate 37 at the top of the slide bar 34 and the insulating plate 38 on the rising plate 37 are also in a low position, not effectively connected to the circuit of the striking mechanism 4, and the striking mechanism 4 is in an untriggered state. As feed is continuously filled into the grain bin, the feed level in the grain bin gradually rises. When the feed contacts the bottom of the disc 35, as the feed level continues to rise, the feed exerts an upward thrust on the disc 35, pushing the disc 35 upward. Since the disc 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide bar 34, the rise of the disc 35 causes the slide bar 34 to slide upward within the sliding sleeve 33. At the same time as the slide bar 34 slides upward, the rising plate 37 fixed to the top of the slide bar 34 also rises, and the insulating plate 38 on the rising plate 37 moves upward synchronously. Meanwhile, the first fixing plate 39, fixed to the surface of the slide bar 34 near the top, slides upward along the guide rod 311, compressing the spring 313 sleeved on the guide rod 311. The spring 313 stores elastic potential energy, acting as a buffer to reduce the instantaneous impact of the feed on the slide bar 34 and protect the components of the lifting mechanism 3. The anode of the servo motor 42 is connected to the cathode of the power supply body 48 via a wire, and the cathode is connected to the insulating part via a wire. In the initial state, because the insulating plate 38 of the lifting plate 37 is positioned low, the other end of the servo motor 42 does not form a path with the anode of the power supply body 48, and the servo motor 42 is in a de-energized state and does not work. At this time, the striking block 43 is stationary, and the steel pipe 49 is in its initial position under its own weight and the cooperation of the limiting plate 47 and the limiting groove 46. When the feed level in the grain bin rises to a certain height, pushing the slide bar 34 to rise to a specific position, the rising plate 37 drives the insulating plate 38 to rise, so that the other end of the servo motor 42 contacts the anode of the power supply body 48, forming a circuit. The servo motor 42 is powered on and starts. After the servo motor 42 starts, its output end drives the striking block 43 to rotate at high speed. During the rotation, the striking block 43 periodically strikes the steel pipe 49 fixed on the rotating shaft 45. After being impacted by the striking block 43, the steel pipe 49 rotates around the rotating shaft 45, producing a loud sound, which serves as a reminder to the operator that the feed level in the grain bin has reached the set height. During the rotation of the steel pipe 49 by the striking block 43, the limiting plate 47 fixed to the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame 44 slides in the limiting groove 46 on the surface of the rotating shaft 45. After the striking block 43 leaves the steel pipe 49, the interaction between the limiting plate 47 and the limiting groove 46 causes the steel pipe 49 to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotating shaft 45, returning to the initial position, preparing for the next strike, and ensuring that the striking mechanism 4 can work continuously and stably.
